Pokemon ScarletandPokemon Violetare still months away from launch. That leaves fans stuck waiting for Game Freak’s traditional trickle of announcements. It’s no surprise that during these periods of silence, leaks fill the void. It’s rare for these leaks to be reliable, however, as thePokemonfranchise has always been flooded with impressive fakes. When a reliable leaker speaks, however,Pokemon ScarletandVioletfans listen. Especially when it’s potentially about Legendary Pokemon.
Twitter user Riddler_Khu is well known for their reliablePokemonleaks shared in the form of cryptic messages, clues, or outright riddles. Their latest message to thePokemoncommunityis no different. In fact, while it’s implied, it isn’t certain that it’s even aboutPokemon ScarletandViolet. Regardless, the message from Khu reads, “Guys, getting tired of countless fake ****s? Lets play some riddle games. It’s a continuation for last month.” Khu is seemingly referring to fake leaks surroundingPokemon ScarletandViolet, as well as a clue he shared recently that has yet to be solved.

Following his message, Khu shared three images. They aren’t full images but rather small pieces of what looks to be Pokemon. MindfulPokemonfans believe the pieces all come from different Legendary Pokemon. Specifically, they come from Lugia,Kyogre, and Groudon, or more specifically, their wing, fin, and claw. Needless to say, there’s no clear intention for Khu sharing these three images, andPokemonfans are left theorizing about what the notoriousPokemonriddle-master is trying to convey.
To say that there are leading theories would be grossly incorrect, given how ambiguous Khu’s riddle is so far. But if there were leading theories, they’re leaps in logic to arrive at potential features or additions forPokemon ScarletandViolet. For example, one increasingly popular theory is that the hints are for regional variants ofLegendary Pokemon. Another theory believes the hints point to an appearance by Zekrom, the Legendary forPokemon White.
If there’s one theory that seems to be universal, however, it’s that Khu is really milking whatever news it is he’s working toward leaking. The clues are just too ambiguous to come to any fair conclusion at this point, leaving manyPokemonfansflustered. They’re just excited forPokemon, after all.
Regardless, perhaps there are somePokemonfans out there who are able to see through Khu’s cryptic clues and now know exactly what Game Freak has in store inPokemon ScarletandPokemon Violet. It can’t be worse than thefakePokemonleaks, at least.
