Among all the upcoming and cut content leaked during Game Freak's data breach is a "Guardian" mechanic supposedly intended for Pokemon Sun and Moon, yet despite being scrapped, it seems the feature has survived in one form or another across future generations. While much of the attention from Game Freak's leaked content focused on details, such as a supposed successor to Nintendo's Switch console or cut Pokemon designs, some leaks included more technical revelations like early Pokemon game builds. One of these cut gameplay features stands out, however, as it appears to have outlived its original place in Pokemon Sun and Moon.
