Paldea hides new pokemon yet to be revealed.
By now we are used to trailers and digital events being different depending on the region in which they are published, especially in the case of nintendo in japan, How did we find out about the existence of Shin Chan’s game?. Although this time it has to do with Pokémon Scarlet and Purple, and it seems that the Japanese version eliminated several Pokémon not officially announced.
This is the trailer released yesterday in which, apart from a lot of playable novelties such as being able to make a sandwich, was introduced to Farigiraf, evolution of Girafarig. The trailer published in Japan would correspond to a more recent version of the game and there would be some notable changes compared to what was seen yesterday.
It would be about five pokemon of which nothing is officially known and that simply appear fleetingly on the screen almost as a cameo. The first of them appears very discreetly hidden in camera menus of the game, while the second also appears briefly during a raid. As shown by Pory_Leaks through Twitter.

Later, journalist and content creator AustinJohnPlays pointed out that the Japanese version of this trailer had the cameos of these unannounced pokemon for some unknown reason. Besides, he points out that this trailer could be taken from a more recent version of the game, since it has better frame rate and lighting effects.
funny enough, NONE of these leaked pokemon are in the JP trailer this is starting to make me think they were NOT intentional. https://t.co/XvqYOqHOCe pic.twitter.com/yrY1S3A4ah

The JP Trailer has the Sunflora running at a very smooth animation compared to the choppy US/UK Trailer. This makes me think the English footage MIGHT HAVE been captured on an older build BEFORE the leaked pokemon were removed. pic.twitter.com/KN336RoQfd

It is unknown when these new pokemon will be presented, considering that the launch of the game is dated for just over a month. Pokémon Scarlet and Purple will hit stores next November 18th for Nintendo Switch.
