The leaker says only the first 151 Pokemon will be in the game...

I obviously ain't buying the game if that's true, millions of fans will certainly do the same. Surely Gamefreak isn't completely daft to not realise this, so they're probably hoping the players gained from such hardcore gen 1 pandering well outweighs those lost. Such a highly unlikely and unnecessary gamble, but again, if that's true. We've had plenty of leaks that got stuff right but other stuff wrong before. We can only hope this is another one of those.

This is a good time to remember not to believe everything you read on the internet especially when it includes the words "rumour" and "pokemon".

Also there is nothing to say that this extends to post game and pokemon bank. Even if there is Pokemon Go integration, what are you going to do with all your gen 2, 3 + alolan form mons?

I can say with absolute certainty that they won't scrap pokemon 152-807 in this game.

Yeah that is what I find odd as well. But the leak/rumor comes from the person that initially said the games would be titled Let's Go Pokemon Evee and Pikachu (which a lot external sources confirmed months later). He also said that nothing beyond the 151 Pokemon will be available in the post game. However, as you say, it would be odd if only gen 1 are available considering how far ahead Pokemon Go is. Furthermore, not being able to transfer Pokemon from the previous games through the Pokemon Bank kind of breaks the entire concept of the Pokemon Bank.

So far there are a lot of negatives in these rumours (Pokemon Go style catching, only gen 1 returning, no pre-evolutions, Sun & Moon graphics) and I am really worried about this game once it is revealed and what its potential failure could do to the Switch.
