Redditor Mc Nugget noticed one of these details in the trailer and posted about it in the PokeLeaks subreddit, where many people come to find information about upcomingPokemongames. Mc Nugget points out that one of the characters, who appears to be a teacher atPokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Pokemon Academy, has a haircut that looks strikingly similar to the popular fighting Pokemon from the first generation, Machamp. The teacher looks to have his hair styled in three distinct spikes from front to back, resembling the same three spikes that adorn Machamp’s head as well.
Many fans in the comments believe that this character may be one ofPokemon’s Gym Leaders, who, for those that are unfamiliar, are like dungeon bosses and, collectively, make up some of the game’s most challenging battles. The fans are also talking about previous leaks and rumors that have stated that the gym leaders inPokemon Scarlet and Violetwill likely have other jobs, mainly at the Pokemon Academy, which would suggest that this teacher resembling a Machamp may be a Physical Education teacher.
Of course, this is all conjecture that is based simply on the character’s hairstyle and the unique setting involving the Pokemon Academy - but fans still gravitate towards any and all rumors. And even if the rumors or leaks don’t actually amount to anything, gamers still enjoy the simple act of talking to each other about them, which builds community for the game as well.
