It has its own tag now "2024_pokemon_gigaleak"

I saw some of them they kinda reminds folklores we actually have around the world.
Octillery is kinda based on one of the Japan folklore called The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife.
I wouldn't be surprised if others are also taking some inspiration from folklores like that.

I wonder if there is Pokemon versio of Minotauros folklore.
This also has some untold beast action Queen of Greece Pasifae had some fun with white bull and gave birth to Minotauros after that.

These kind things doesn't really hit once you find the uncutted versio of those folklore's some of them can be quite sexual like Loki being with horse while he transformed himself into mare.

"There was a time when the boundary between Pokémon and humans was blurred. In a coastal village, there was a man. One day, as he was walking atop the shore, he found a female Octillery washed up on the beach. The man had relations with the Octillery and threw it back into the sea. The next day, he went to the same spot and found the same Octillery again. He once more had relations with it and threw it back into the sea as before."

-Some (likely horny) Game Freak or Pokemon Company employee

I like this one more than the Typhlosion one. He just straight up yeets the Octillery, as one does after having sex with an Octillery, and despite the boundary between Pokémon and humans being blurred, the Octillery is still an "it" rather than a "she", lol.

The rapidash one is literally titled "Native American Ecology Philosophy", and the typhlosion one is apparently based on a Mayan folktale about werejaguar. The lapras story is just a shortened version of the octillery story. It's far from the first time Game Freak took real-world myths/folktales and pokemon-ified them, they're just very edited before getting near being in-game, compared to these leaked ones which wouldn't even classify as a first draft.

Sure, but they chose some weird myths as their base lmfao

Believe me most folklore/myths are weird public media kinda cuts those they can,
for an example in Valhalla legend also called Norse mythology has scene where Loki lures worker stallion while being transformed as mare just to mess with that guy.
Yes Loki got pregnant by a horse so he has genderbending skills included in his transformation one. The foal got name Sleipnir.

Myths tend to be weird to start with. Life is sexual, it's how we reproduce to keep the species going, so myths and folktales that explore the human condition tend to incorporate that (creation myths in particular often have a lot of dirty stuff; I wouldn't expect the real-world myths that Arceus, Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia are based on to be very child-friendly). I'd be more surprised if they didn't have plenty of weird myths as a base, especially given the lore of various pokemon that did make it in.

Eh, pokephilia has been canon for quite some time already (which wasn't a one-off gag), even before that book in Platinum mentioning marriage between humans and pokemon. But regardless, none of these leaks makes anything canon, they're internal developer documents to spitball ideas with, not official released media, and it doesn't reflect the universe the developers intend to publish for the series.

A cyndaquil-human hybrid just into existence and the grandpa enables the bullying the child and their mother.

The typhlosion story is just... every old children's fairytale ever. Pretty much every culture on this planet has some variation of this story.

probably, although I wonder how much internal stuff like this has influenced/continues to influence official media, memes tend to spread, even if its not deliberate.

it's almost certainly going to influence fan media going forward, I've seen somewhat similar cases like this before, and people do tend to latch on to stuff.

and a possible FtM with one character

Nobody who has been exposed to Greek, Japanese or other major mythologies will find any of these story archetypes shocking or novel. It's just kids getting mad about lewd themes because it's trendy and reinforced to do so, and twitter antis looking for blood in the water. And in something that was never and will never be in the content of the franchise either... basically one of the writers' mythology class homework.

About the Thing with THESE Pokemon... 😬💕
