Hoaxes
Fansites
- Bulbagarden's Fun and Games forum was renamed the Woobat Cave, and there was an extra Random Messages thread.
- On Reddit, subreddits /r/pokemon and /r/CFB switched themes for the day turning /r/pokemon into a sub on College Football and /r/CFB into a Pokémon themed sub.
- On Pokémon Showdown, a Digimon theme was adopted for the battle simulator. Similar to previous years, all sprites and models were replaced with various fan-drawn sprites, with the exception of some sprites that were introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
