>>12641713Rumors in general. Maybe they still exist, but they get easily and quickly proven or disproven nowadays thanks to data mining. Nothing will top the absolutely crazy rumor mill that was Pokemon, especially since a lot of insane shit that sounded like it was some made up bullshit from that kid whose uncle worked at Nintendo was actually real thanks to glitches.
