In the article written by the outlet, they state that the Chinese Riddler also posted an image of Piplup, Rowlet, Oshawott, and Cyndaquil, however it’s not known if he was implying that they would also get Hisuian forms.
Interestingly, CentroLeak had hinted at this rumor a day earlier on October 11 by posting an image of the Kanto ‘mon with the caption: “They would feel a little out of place in Hisui, don’t you think? ;)”
As usual, take this with a massive grain of salt. While the Chinese Riddler seems to be a prominent leaker with a track record, this is pure speculation. PokeJungle followed up the report with a statement warning readers that it was a rumor and to not have expectations.
“We cover rumors because it’s fun and exciting to speculate about the contents of upcoming games. Please keep in mind that rumors can (and do) end up being TOTALLY WRONG, so please don’t set expectations,” they said. It will be interesting to see if this ends up playing out, but only time will tell.
