Hoaxes

Fansites

Bulbagarden

• The Bulbagarden forums had its sections replaced with Avatar: the Last Airbender-themed sections, one section for each nation in the series. Unlike previous years, there was no enforced forum skin.

Other fansites

• Marriland announced Pokémon Zero and Infinity, and had an accompaning trailer.

• Pokejungle.net announced Pokémon Temporal Diamond and Spatial Pearl with accompanying trailer.

• Pokémon Showdown! changed all sprites and models, with the exception of Cosplay Pikachu, Primal Reversions and Mega Evolutions introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, on Pokémon Showdown to various fan-drawn sprites, like the previous two years.

• Pokémon Online changed Ubers to a tier based on usage rather than a banlist, which resulted in many Pokémon notoriously banned to Ubers being brought to OU, while many common OU Pokémon were banned to Ubers.

Others

• The Udon Journal released a news story about 800 Slowpoke escaping a research center.
