Destructoid, I am getting tired of all the fake Pokémon Legends Z-A leaks, and I think you'll understand why as you dive into this post.
I think we should stop spending so much time and effort on social media and content creators' platforms for these supposed new Mega Pokémon “leaks,” especially since most have been proven to be fakes or poorly created.
Especially when the most recent supposed leak for Pokémon Legends Z-A has uncovered what appears to be three new Pokémon: Mega Victreebell, Feraligatr, and Clefable. These three have been making the rounds the past 24 hours, with some fans thinking they might be revealed in the Pokémon Z-A demo being shown as the Pokémon World Championship this weekend.
And while these obvious ones feel fake, I'll let you be the judge of them yourself.
As one person has already pointed out, the Mega Clefable “leak” appears to be based on a model created by someone called cardnIH, but zoomed in and stuck over an in-game screenshot to give the illusion it's leaked. The Feraligatr, if I recall, is also based on a fanmade one from a few months ago. It's honestly hard to keep track of them all.
What I'll never understand about these fake leaks after leak after leak, and the numerous times we fall for them, is just how bad the quality of them is. In the age of iPhones and high-grade cameras, you’re telling me the best leaks we can get from people are zoomed-in close-ups of blurry images of what is trying to be a small snippet of a larger Pokémon? Is no one able to take a screenshot or a better picture to at least make them feel more likely to be real? When did the norm of fake leaks become so widespread?
I mainly wanted to make this article to bring attention to what appears to be another obvious fake leak for the game and remind everyone to take anything you read with a pinch of salt until we get an official reveal or confirmation.
Besides, Pokémon Worlds is this weekend, so we are bound to get another big reveal for Z-A come Sunday, as well as many other Pokémon announcements. But let me know what you think of the above leaks in the comments down below.
