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.

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 :/
