My good friend Kriffix has a large amount of evidence to show that this fellow above is indeed fake.
Here’s what he said: “The above Pokemon “Zennuki” is supposed to be based on a Tanuki (a racoon dog) which is a big part of Japanese mythology. They are known to be tricksters and use their testicles as weapons as can be seen this this famous Ghibli movie Pom Poko (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4_Nmco2dtE). I however regret to inform you that this above Pokemon is fake. The poster on 4ch says he found it on 2ch. I have searched all recent posts and have been unable to find his source. To top this off, it contains a flipped picture of a previous screenshot. Here is the original: http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/plasmamunna.jpg”
Bummer guys, it seems that the Tanuki is fake. 🙁 Aw well, stick around and hopefully the full scans will leak soon.
Many thanks to Kriffix for solving this problem! And to [SPP] for providing the image in Kriffix’s evidence!
It probably fake, I’m not sure
Fake methinks.. If you enlarge the picture, you can see the light blue pokeballs overlap the top left screenshot (which is no relation to the pokemon? looks like the munna evo thing?). Also the style of the background seems slightly different to the previous scans. :/
Sorry, that wasn’t meant to be a reply to your comment >.< but i'll pretend it was..
Fake? It doesn’t look particularly real.
Bwahahahaha! It’s like a mean, blue, Snorlax! I love it! 😀
Is it fake?
The name is Zennuki!
It looks like a gangster racoon with some sort of hideous blonde wig? xD
I was anticipating a Tanuki pokemon since i heard about Zoroark. It’d complete the famous “Fox and tanuki” duo.
I’ll look into this to find out if its real. Until then it may be wise to think otherwise.
Personally i’m thinking not at the moment.
Do you have any proof its fake?
No, nor am I 100% sure. I’m just reporting the facts.
The fact is the guy who posted and what he says doesn’t quite match up.
He could have got it from a blog, but then i’m wondering why he said he found it on 2ch.
I’m still looking into it, nothings 100% yet.
I hope its real. It looks really cool.
It’s facial expression made me laugh XD
I just wanna hug it XD
It’s cool but I think it’s fake… The style of the scan look very similiar to the real CoroCoro scans.
I never posted this?
Excuse me what’s going on?
The guy says he found it on 2ch but I can’t find the original on there.
This makes it very likely a fake.
Source please.
Sabonea Masukippa on SPPf says:
“If it’s real its name is Zennuki which comes from Zen as in … Zen and Tanuki, the same type of animal Zigzagoon is based off. Investigating now. “
where is the zen part ?!
*shrug* I dunno. Maybe something in it’s behavior/typing?
But then it’s probably fake anyway….
Thats a given. I sure hope Masukippa’s real proud of himself lol.
Now tell him to get his butt out there and help find out if its real!
Oh? Are we taking this seriously still?
He said he can’t find it at 2ch twitter or any other blog
then he posted it on 2ch and they said it was fake…
lol tanuki pokemon ,and have a flower on his neck
looks awesome imo
I say its 50/50, i hope he is. He’s better than fake fish <3
air, you said on chat that you loved the fake fish 8D
Fake scan is fake.
Maybe normal/dark?
thick fat?
I hope it’s fake, really ugly =/
wtf he have chinese sandals as his fingers
Frightening.
As i’m sure many of you familiar with Japanese mythology already know. Tanuki (what this pokemon is based on) are tricksters and use their testicles as weapons.

Watch this and keep yourselves busy why I look into this pic some more. xD
“use their testicles as weapons”
Uhmm….. that’s make an interesting attack, lol. Male-only attack? 😛
It’s like Snorlax and Lucario had babies.. but it looks really fake to me
All the evidence seems to indicate it’s fake….
But… but… I wanna believe….. it’s so cuddly ;_;
Its a fat cat =D
The screenshot shown at the top left is just a flip/mirror of the screen of team plasma with munna.
http://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/plasmamunna.jpg
Awww…. that means it IS fake.
Shoot. 🙁
Good find!
I was just looking through all known pictures for a match but you beat me to it!
This pretty much finishes off the pile of evidence for it being fake.
Yep… it could either be because its fake, OR because the owner, for some reason, have mirrored the pic… :b
No, because then the name of the fake pokemon would be backwards, and it’s not.
Fake, unfortunately.
Fake. Thank GOD!
you ruined all the fun burokkoli
Sorry about that 😛
We could always try and work out what that’s meant to be on the back of it’s head instead :/
Awww…. why do these fakers have to toy with us so cruelly? D:
because they are d-bags with no life but to torment us.
Look at the font for the name. The “n” and “nu” is extremely off compared to the usual font, as it’s much sharper. In other scans I’ve seen, everything has their typical curves.
Also, I agree about the background. As someone pointed out earlier, the blue Poke Ball background just seems off.
Looks like the cheshire cat on drugs 8D
With war paint.
And after a night of all-you-can-eat buffet.
Basically, nothing like the cheshire cat, but fake and ugly nonetheless.
Fake… yeah!! \o/
It’s fake. The details and the shading of the drawing is obviously not Ken Sugimori’s style.
I’m @ work btw guys 🙁
Where’d you work PJ?
Also Daigo was kind enough to edit this post for me. He’s been a real star! You sure have some top-class helpers around here!
yaaa he’s doiong real well!
i would’ve posted for you but alas, time difference, i was asleep. xD
Hey, remember that leaked snow image.
It was on the same path from the bus tour footage. but only in winter time.
Notice how the snow unlocks a new path.
Here, I made this. it both the leaked image as a screenshot from the same route at non-winter time.

That’s really neat! Thanks for noticing that and putting the image together. 🙂
Good job dude, thats awesome!
Nice find dude!
Its Zelda: Oracle of Seasons all over again -.-
ahhhh i love that game!! :DD
that’s actually really cool!
so i guess you can not only get certain pokemon in certain season but also you can get to new places depending on what season!
game freak has really out done themselves. 😀
Pom poko!
4ch? You mean 4chan? Again, 2ch and 2chan are different websites. 2ch isn’t an abbreviation for 2chan, and neither is 4ch.
finally someone else explains that. -__-‘
does anyone have info on the tsutaja evos?
Nothing is revealed about that yet
nothing has come up about that stuff…DX
Well there’s always this anime concept art which we now know to be real.
http://pokebeach.com/news/0610/black-white-character-sheet.jpg
i cant wait anymore!!plz someone find info on tsutaja’s evos
we will have to wait a while for that
ATM i’m doubting we’ll even get one i mean they only evo we’ve gotten before was blaziken.
and obviously that was the RS days. DX
i also ment to say that we might not even see them until the game comes out. DX
PJ just admit it, corocoro is done. I hope im wrong but i think thats it and it most likely is. Im very disapppointed that that was all that was in the “master document”. I think we all are but this is it im sorry
There is probably still more corocoro info.
The new pokemons are probably done but there should be more info and tidbits on the other stuff.
NO!
i will never admit it!
there is still hope!!! >:DDDD
I thought people on 2ch said it was 20 pages lone o_o
Either way I HOPE that wan’t the master document… I like seeing new pokemon!
There’s no way it’s done (in my opinion). Last month it was 18 freaking pages long. So far all we have is one page and a few parts from another, not even the whole page.
Last month’s corocoro had 18 pages???
What pokemon and info did it reveal again, that took 18 pages?
They revealed like 5 or so new pokemon and tons of features
thank god it’s a fake. -__-‘
LOL wow, I just yesterday drew some fakemon starters, and the grass type was this big fat tanuki with a leaf on its head. So I saw this and was like, “WTF? Did someone take mine and make it blue?” XD
I wish there was a tanuki pokemon though, it would be cool..
Same here, i wished there was tanuki pokemon, but I think it could of looked better than that guy :\
WOW. That’s it then. I definitely got my hopes too high this time. o_o
OMG,I just remembered that my SS teacher showed us this movie because about industilization was breaking habitats.I just didnt notice why my class was laughing until now 0.0
Pokejungle, do you like testicles?
Silly thing to ask a gay webmaster ~
so, you really like it? 🙂
not sure if it’s worth the look but that blog with the tour seems to have another new image it at the bottom:
http://spmb.blog133.fc2.com/blog-entry-89.html
Looks like a gigaiasu pre-evo or some new geodude in a cave.
Testicles as weapons! Surely they wouldn’t put that into a pokemon game!
THANK GOD IT IS FAKE! But if it was real…
Thick Fat, Dark (or normal)
Testicles as weapons…HA!!!
