"Minotauros" sure as heck isn't a Japanese name, now is it? As far as I can tell, the new English names have not been created yet. So why, if this guy is legitimate, would he call it "Minotauros" and claim it to be the right name without even claiming he calls it that himself or made it up?
Come on, guys.
Though, I would not be surprised if some--if not most--of the information is correct.
"Minotauros" makes as much sense with the Japanese name for Tauros as Tauros does. Heck, it actually makes MORE sense-- Tauros' Japanese name was Centauros.
Honestly, the two things that we're promised are definitely true, the "there will be a new battle mechanic" and "there will be a yin and yang theme" are two things that are probably going to happen regardless. Every gen introduced some new battle mechanic, and a yin and yang theme is not that hard to fathom when our two cover Pokemon are classified as the White Yang and the Black Yin Pokemon.
I hope something will redeem Martijn, though. He seems like a nice guy. Hate that he'd risk his credibility for something like this.
