Leaks related to Z-A need to be discussed exclusively in this thread, to avoid spoiling people who don't wish to receive spoilers. Apart from that, the thread we're currently in seems like a good place for them, though if you want to make a specific thread for something like the beta sprites, that's fine too.

It was most likely because it was the cool new thing to get info out first, but because accuracy wasn't verified, the inaccurate version took hold almost immediately while the accurate translation hadn't even gotten out of bed yet.
