Pokémon Fans Have A Conspiracy Theory That Cyndaquil Isn't In Legends: Z-A Because Of Smutty Folklore
If you somehow missed it last year, Pokémon developer Game Freak was subject to a massive leak in October. As information trickled out of the company, we learned things about upcoming projects and scrapped Pokémon, and also got a few folklore-style stories about the universe that may or may not be canon. One of these stories focused on a Typhlosion, the final form of Cyndaquil, who transformed into a human and impregnated a woman. The internet had a field day with it and the fire starter's reputation hasn't recovered from the scandal. Now, fans are spinning tales that the reason Cyndaquil isn't joining its Johto starters in Legends: Z-A is that Game Freak may have thought it was too soon to put it back in the spotlight. The more likely explanation is that Cyndaquil was a starter in Legends: Arceus, and Game Freak probably didn't want to double-dip in the same subseries. But nevertheless, fans are running with the theory, and while some think the Typhlosion jokes are dead, I am still laughing.
Typhlosion has gotten some recent love, so it's not like Cyndaquil fans are starving. The Pokémon got a brand new Hisuian form in Legends: Arceus that is arguably even cooler than its Johto region variant. But even if he's not a starter this time, hopefully the little guy still shows up in Legends: Z-A as an obtainable Pokémon when the game launches later this year.For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Friday Music Guide: New Music From Zach Bryan, Kesha, A$AP Rocky and More
Billboard's Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to this Friday's most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond. This week, Zach Bryan delivers more fan treats, Kesha begins her Independence period, and A$AP Rocky comes back in fashion. Check out all of this week's picks below: More from Billboard Bad Bunny's 'NUEVAYol' Video Arrives on Fourth of July With Pro-Immigrant Message: 'Together We Are Stronger' BLACKPINK Is 'Ready to Jump' in What Looks to Be a New Music Teaser: Listen Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom's Reps Address Split: They've 'Been Shifting Their Relationship' Zach Bryan, After debuting 'Streets of London' during his BST Hyde Park concert last month, Zach Bryan has offered fans a studio version of the track, as well as a pair of additional songs, 'River Washed Hair' and 'A Song for You'; he noted in an Instagram post that the tracks 'didn't belong on the record, and they didn't fit on an EP either,' but the prolific superstar's ability to constantly supply his fan base with rock-solid songwriting is one of the reasons why Bryan has ascended to stadium status. Kesha, For longtime fans of Kesha, Period contains the type of club-friendly bangers that made her a pop supernova 15 years ago — but every song on her first release as an independent artist carries an undercurrent of growth and personal fulfillment, as if the party that comprises the fast-moving 11-song project is even more thrilling because of the effort it took to coordinate. A$AP Rocky feat. Kaycyy, 'Pray4DaGang' Released on Independence Day as a 24-hour exclusive on Apple Music after being unveiled at Paris Fashion Week, 'Pray4DaGang,' A$AP Rocky's new collaboration with Kaycyy, impressively re-centers the veteran rapper's musical approach during a busy moment for his brand: his flow is nimble and his lyricism sharp, once again building hype for his long-awaited next full-length. Brent Faiyaz, 'Peter Pan.' / 'Tony Soprano.' The duality of Brent Faiyaz's appeal is on display with the double single release of 'Peter Pan.' and 'Tony Soprano.': whereas the former puts a modern twist on buttery soul music and places Faiyaz's croon up high in the mix, the latter is cold, laser-focused rhythmic rap, with Faiyaz declaring over a trap beat, 'These days, I'm numb to it all' and demonstrating his range. Of Monsters and Men, 'Television Love' Of Monsters and Men conquered different parts of the globe with their heartfelt sing-alongs a decade ago, and on their first new track in five years, the Icelandic indie-folk band returns with a viscous, slow-building amendment of their winning formula: 'Television Love' may take longer to get going than 'Little Talks' and 'Mountain Sound,' but when it hits its stride, the song becomes another enveloping festival anthem. Editor's Pick: Sydney Rose, 'Before & After You' Nashville-based singer-songwriter Sydney Rose scored a viral hit recently with her track 'We Hug Now,' and may have another one with 'Before & After You,' which was inspired by the hit HBO video game adaptation The Last of Us — but even if the names Joel and Ellie don't mean anything to you, it's not hard to get wrapped up in Rose's elegant vocals and knack for conjuring simple, emotionally resonant lyrics in confined spaces.
