But again, nothing is confirmed until The Pokemon Company says something officially.

We take a closer look at what the latest supposed leak tells us about the franchise's future endeavors in games, mobile applications, and the world of trading cards.

New Pokemon Pokedex mobile app

From the leak, a new Pokedex for mobile is in the works. This application is said to provide a full Pokedex and newly written lore entries for all species.

TCG Pocket fans might have something to look forward to with a new set purportedly named Golden Flames and Silver Waves. Although no leaked official description or artwork is present, the theme will most likely pay homage to Ho-Oh and Lugia, two of the Gen II Legendaries that have yet to debut in TCG Pocket. Should it be true, it also means this upcoming expansion would have a Generation II theme.

Additionally, the leak asserts that the trading system will see some changes: a much-requested alteration in the community.

In what might be one of the more intriguing developments, the leak states that Paradox creatures are finally going to make their appearance in GO. This is consistent with earlier teases, such as Great Tusk and Iron Treads' appearance in the game's 9th Anniversary poster. Neither of them are confirmed, but their visual inclusion does suggest that something does possibly exist.

On the Unite side of Pokemon, the leak states three new potential additions: Deoxys, Sceptile, and Aggron. These would be the completion of the summer roster following the recently announced Latias and Latios.

Sceptile and Aggron would both be easy to fit into Speedster and All-Rounder positions, respectively.

Deoxys, on the other hand, would be an interesting design problem with its multiple forms. If done well, it could potentially be one of the most versatile characters to ever play.

Pokemon Masters EX: Sada and Turo Sync Pairs

Lastly, the leak reports a huge new trailer for the upcoming mainline game, referred to as Ikkaku among fans and leakers, the codename for Legends: Z-A. Some highlights from the rumoured trailer include

• The introduction of Mega Dragonite, a new Mega Evolution.
• A "Detective" mystery character and "Crazy Absol," presumably indicating relevance to the story or special mechanics.
• Muscat Rank Battle, a new potential layer in Legends Z-A Royal or competitive format.
• More story material and new character developments.

Considering that Legends: Z-A has already revealed the return of Mega Evolutions, new Megas such as Dragonite may revitalize the franchise's battle systems with new strategic complexity.
