Fact Checking Verlisify

Fact checking Pokémon YouTube news videos.

Remember, he claims he does not clickbait.

Follow Up: The Nintendo Direct Mini had no Pokémon information.

Verlis has removed his video.

Fact Check: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcases show games from Nintendo's 3rd party partners, not for things such as Pokémon. It's pretty unlikely Crown Tundra will be shown and it's certainly not confirmed.

Fact Check - An alleged TCG card featuring a reprint of an Ultra Prism card with a 25th anniversary stamp was found. No evidence ties it to Sinnoh Remakes or 2021 Pokémon Game Leaks.

It's also not the biggest Pokémon leak ever. It's not even close

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

Confirmation - It was not in the presentation

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

Fact Check - This is not confirmed.

@Claudeu17 @SonierVicky But as Joe from Serebii worked out, those are on most videos from TPC

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

Fact Check - This is not confirmed.

Fact Check - A new Sword & Shield Trailer wasn't leaked by the official Pokémon Twitter account.

What was said was that the end date of an event is the same time a trailer has been known to drop.

It's possible, but this isn't confirmed and it certainly isn't a leak.

Fact Check - 21 Moves did leak through the new Pokémon HOME update, this is true.

4 New Pokémon did not.

That is fan art in the thumbnail

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

Fact Check - This is a misleading thumbnail. The number is blurred out, obviously saying 22.96 million, the sales of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and placed beneath the sales of Sword & Shield, which were 16.06 million

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

Fact Check - The 40 trademarks listed included various Kanto Pokémon, Galar Pokémon, "Gotta Catch 'em All", Mystery Dungeon and PokéPark. None of which implies or even hints about Diamond & Pearl remakes. There weren't even Sinnoh Pokémon trademarked.

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

Took a break because I didn't want Sword & Shield spoiled, but I guess here we go again.

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

@Jwanie99 That statement is what was mistranslated into this by Centro Pokémon.

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

Fact Check - This was a mistranslation by Centro Pokemon that went around. They have since deleted it. No interview suggests it.

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

Fact Check - There is absolutely nothing to say that this random person on 4chan is actually a card designer or that these "leaks" are real

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

Fact Check - It will at launch. It doesn't now. Comparing page numbers is a very flawed way to do it and it in no way confirms how many are in the game.

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

Fact Check - Once again the interview didn't deal with evolution and provided no details about its evolutions. This is clickbait

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

Fact Check - These interviews from Game Informer haven't been revealing anything about the evolutions of Grookey or Scorbunny. While they mention evolution once, it's not "Massive Details". They showed and said nothing

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

Fact Check - While the video itself is framed well, along with its title, as a question as to why news hasn't come, the thumbnail just implies Pokémon News has come with fan-art. This is clickbait and highly misleading.

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

Fact Check - Ponyta has often been in lists of Alola or Galarian Form Pokémon, especially of it being a fairy unicorn. Just because one listed it doesn't mean that "leak" was accurate.

[Fact Checking Verlisify @FactCheckVerlis]

Fact Check - This is incredibly misleading. They said all Pokémon will show up in the future, not in Sword & Shield. By framing it as "Sword & Shield National Dex Details! Every Pokémon Will Return" it is implying that Pokémon are coming back into Sword & Shield.

Clickbait.
