This guy did accurately describe Mega-Evolutions in November of 2012 and also said that this gen's number of new Pokemon would be pretty small compared to other gens. Nintendo does keep a tight lid on stuff, but thats pretty amazing that the guy knew about mega-evolutions then.

Other rumors he got wrong at the exact same time:
"Mainline 3DS Pokemon game" (X/Y) "needs roughly two more years before it's released." It was released less than one year after he made that statement.
"The first NFC game for Wii U will be a next gen Battrio game coming out in all regions." No hint of Battrio, a Pokemon arcade game. Instead we got Rumble U.
"Nintendo’s core first party line up for E3 will be [...] a double dose of Kirby with the return of Tilt ‘n Tumble for Wii U and Kirby’s Pop Up Pannick for Nintendo 3DS" (neither of these materialized), "a new HD Yoshi’s Island game" (no), "Donkey Kong Land Returns for Nintendo 3DS" (released before E3 even took place, also calling it DK Land does not indicate that he knew it would be a remake of DKCR), "new Fatal Frame for Wii U" (no hint of this).
He thought the PS4 would launch with a bundled device he called the Omniviewer, "a thin, lite and slick head mounted autosteroptic display that can track the users head and presents a 360 image view with semi transparent AMOLED screens. Adds extra augmented reality information outside of the TV screen." Never heard of it, have you?
He thought the XBO would be "2 to 3 times more powerful than [PS4]." lol.
His comments on Super Smash Bros. are the funniest. "Sakurai really took to heart the complaints about the single player game and the online game. He is solving this by making the single player very deep this time done by the Tales series people and is planning to have a Network Beta of the game for download the day of Nintendo’s E3 show. This way they can beta test online for about one year before they ship the game."
This guy is full of shit. If I was allowed to get 75% of my predictions wrong, I could've guessed there would be a 3D Mario and a 3DS Zelda game for Holiday 2013, too. And I certainly could have guessed that older Pokemon would get new forms this gen. That one was practically free.
