These kinds of rumors go around a lot before a Pokémon game comes out. I remember the gen II rumors, some of them were pretty outlandish, like "Pikablu" which ended up being Maril but until the games were released a lot of people thought it was a water evolution for Pikachu. These rumors don't happen as often now with the availability of information but it still happens. Which is why I believe nothing when it comes to Pokemon until either Nintendo says something or I get to see it for myself.

All you have to do is google "early pokemon release" there are quite a few articles.

I still don't buy it. As I said, these rumors happen all the time before the release. The characteristic way it's being blown out of proportion should almost be proof enough. Unless Nintendo says something official on their website(or Bulbapedia says something), I'm not going to buy it. Been burned way more than once about these kinds of things.

The leaks aren't even of good final evolutions. If they aren't the real ones, the real ones couldn't really be much worse XD

The game selling companies probably already have X and Y in their stores but they don't put them out on the shelves until the specified day(movies and such are the same way, I know). It's possible that someone in one of those businesses opened up one of the games and played it, taking a few screenshots. However an actual early release I doubt.

That is also possible.

My parents used to own a store that rented out VHS and DVD's. We used to get them from special stores that sold them BEFORE the release day(only registered businesses can buy from there to prevent these leaks from happening). Rumors are going to be rampant up until the release day, I'd say we should just sit tight and see for ourselves ~_^

Pie is right, so I edited the post. If anybody wants to see the finals bad enough, try somewhere else. I'd rather not disrespect Nintendo's wishes here. D: (Even if the finals aren't real, ha ha)
No worries, Spyro, you're not in trouble, though! :3

Nintendo sent cease and desist notices around and such. I don't think they'd want to make an official post about a mess up.

Well, it's only a few more days' wait, anyway.

They made official posts about worse mess-ups than an early release. And Bulbapedia is still quiet about it.

That's true.
I wonder why Bulbapedia hasn't said anything? Maybe Nintendo asked them to keep quiet?

Looks like Serebii.net is aware but not saying anything. For those of us who believe in rumors, I'd like you to watch this video. It's a pretty good representation of a lot of the older rumors I know of when I was young: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUSqHMxEE_g

Ahhh sorry about that, thanks Fuzzball for taking it down for me before I got here. ;u; It wasn't my aim to harm Nintendo's feels
But you know, a worldwide release wasn't entirely ruined. Most of the copies were returned later, in fact. And it really isn't the customer's fault that they leaked pictures online. It's obvious that, with the world still waiting on that game, that it would be cool to share a few days of fame. I was on one of the leaker's leak stream for a while when he was at work and then when he came back, he said that he wasn't going to leak anymore footage because of Nintendo's reps trying to get back the copies, and he deleted the stream. Whether or not he gave back the copy, idk. It's obvious Nintendo isn't going to get back all of the game copies that day, and it really isn't the customer's fault for getting a copy early. (And they couldn't contact the customers because of the data protection act, so it's all down to the people)
Not like they leaked so much, anyway. Just some of the pokemon, some of the gameplay and such. Nothing really on the story or special features we've heard of. Either there is nothing new, or they decide not to share it.
And what's odd is that Nintendo actually fined them less than usual for an early release. £2000 per copy is still a lot, but there has been companies fining for a lot more.

Considering I can't actually find any online 'proof' from reliable sources, I'm going to assume that these people are just rumor-mongers. I have been a Pokémon fan since when Red and Blue first came out, these rumor-mongers have been around for that long as well. I thought with the way the internet had grown that these rumors would stop spreading lol. Only made rumors easier to spread if nothing else. less than a week before the release everyone!

6 MORE DAYS WOOOOOOOOOO
Yeah I'm not too crazy about the evolutions I saw. I would hope they're fake, but who knows?
Anyway, I just got this nice poster today for pre-ordering that has a map of the Kalos region. I just now hung it up.

tsukihime And being someone cocky, I'll go I told you so if it happens. > /shot (and you can do the same to me |DD) Who did you preorder it from? I didn't get anything. Oh well, it's my fault for preording it from the worst shop to preorder it from.

You can go ahead and say it. Doesn't bother me any. I recommend you watch that video I posted the link to before, it contains loads of rumors about things like leaks and such. A lot of them were taken as seriously as this current one, and they ended up being fake. Pikablu? Fake. Mew under a truck in Viridian City? Fake. Pokémon City? Fake. Land of fused Pokémon behind Bill's house at the cape? Fake. But we took it seriously.
I preordered from Amazon ^_^; I have tried EB games but for some reason the webpage won't let me preorder.
