Then where’s his katana shell blade? Also, I’m not going to spoil myself by seeing all the Pokemon from this gen. I’m gonna wait ’til the English version comes out, and then possibly wallow in my tears.

well, considering the middle stage IS like a samurai, he must have been talking about it. And considering the third stage IS a drastic change, a mix of a Sea Otter and Sea Lion, he must have been talking about it.
Just wait a few more days and wallow in your own tears. They are real, get over it.

Then why would someone fake a CoroCoro scan that show off the pokemon that were in those unconfirmed pictures. My thought on this is that, GameFreak would NEVER give away a starter evo before the games were released. Then either the person who made them, or some guy who loved these, “UNCONFIRMED”, evos decided to make people believe they were real.

Also, get YOUR facts right:

Ken Sugimori, primary illustrator: I really struggled the most with the Water-type [starter] this time.
Yusuke Ohmura, illustrator: There was talk of, “Wouldn’t a sea otter be good for the Water starter?” But it was a really close decision in terms of what this sea otter would become once it evolves. In the end, we decided to have it evolve into something with a completely different appearance.

Sugimori: Of course, we want to make the starters into Pokémon that remain with the player throughout the game, so we hope to make them evolve into creatures that offer a surprise to the player. We always make an effort to throw in some twists and create third-stage evolutions that have an impact.

Ohmura: There was also talk this time about dividing the three starters into Japanese, Western, and Chinese styles of design. Tsutarja was based on Western design, and Pokabu was rooted in a Chinese style, so I was told, “Let’s make Mijumaru into a more Japanese-style design.” Someone even asked, “Can’t you make Mijumaru into a samurai?” [laughs]

Everyone: [laughs]

Sugimori: I worried about it for a while, and I eventually went to go see the sea otters at the aquarium. I happened to catch the sea lion show while I was there, and I became aware of the sea lion’s power. “Well, let’s try blending a sea otter and a sea lion,” I thought. I came up with the idea of making the shell on Mijumaru’s stomach into a sword (katana) and using it to fight, and that’s how I completed Mijumaru and its evolution.”

He is CLEARLY talking about working on the third-stage evos of the starters and their inspirations. He didn’t say a word about 2nd-stage evos!

I really doubt that since I put up everything the instant it was said. Meaning at the very most WPM was putting stuff up at the same time. (even then I find that unlikely xD;;)

And they will be burned out by fire type anteaters.

They are not doing shadows of Pokémon already described. Just the new ones that are coming.

Dark/Steel does NOT evolve or evolve from anything. Resembles a “Power Ranger.”

…just found that bit I missed the first time around.
