Nintendo has been teasing fans with subtle hints for a long time. However, many speculations from past months were proven wrong, leading to fans doubting Nintendo’s plans. But fans cannot stop speculating, can they? In another round of leaks, eagled-eyed enthusiasts have spotted a new unlisted Pokemon domain for Scarlet and Violet. As it happens, the suspicious domain is connected to GameFreak’s Japan website.
As mentioned before, Nintendo fans have endured a lot of disappointment since the beginning of 2022. Many popular speculations were dismissed as Nintendo kept pushing their plans. For example, the most recent speculation was about the release of the second wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Booster Course Pass DLC. All hints indicated that the next wave is coming on either July 15 or next week. However, the 15th of this month has passed with no signs of the new DLC wave.
