Leaving these here. Found on 2ch, reportedly from a leak of CoroCoro or another magazine. Cactus pokemon would be Saburou or Sapurou. Bird pokemon would be Kawanoashi. That last name seems very suspicious, it literally is “river foot”. I’m going to declare this picture FAKE FAKE FAKE due to both the name of the second pokemon and also the fact that battle text is wrong. Should be Nameはどうする？ not Nameどうする？
Nostalgia alert, remember this grass owl?!
UPD: The creator came forward and admitted that they had made it. In it’s full glory above. That cactus owl… amazing. A very sad day for us all indeed.

ps- Thanks Mercury for the tip about the 2ch board!
I know these rumors are probably false, but do you know why am i defend the idea that it may not be totally fake? Because of the legit scan 2ch released one week ago… pokejungle posted this:
“This has surfaced on 2ch. The article alleges that there may be new gym leaders in the sequels to Black and White. Interesting… The article also teases us by asking if the region will still be Unova. The text around Snivy, Oshawott, and Tepig questions whether there are any more new Pokémon to be revealed.
Serebii says scan is legit.”
Remember that?
Yet, it can be just an april’s fool joke!
I would be willing to accept this if it weren’t for one very important thing. That CANNOT be what the first platypus Pokemon looks like. Don’t get me wrong, that’s pretty cool design. But the first platypus Pokemon HAS to look at least somewhat like Perry the Platypus. Any other way will just be disappointing.
If you tweak that design a little, I may be willing to accept it as an evolution for the platypus starter, sort of like a biped Marshtomp to Perry’s quadruped Mudkip. But the first form has to look at least somewhat like Perry. No exceptions.
I’m sorry but I’d have to disagree with you there, Flaming E. Why have a Pokemon look like an american cartoon character, such as Perry, when the company making the Pokemon is situated in Japan? Seems kind of ridiculous if you ask me. I’d much rather prefer the Platypus that we see in this picture being the first stage, and getting even cooler as it evolves. The spritework and design, while jpeg’d, looks crisp and clean, and much more preferable than that of an american cartoon platypus could ever be.
The owl looks kind of neat as well, I’ll admit. If it turned out to be pretty decent, I might actually consider it on a second playthrough or something. However, seeing as platypus are my FAVORITE animal (always have since I first heard about them around 3rd grade, which is over ten years ago. Yikes!), I’ll most likely pick it.
That is, providing these images are real. I’m hoping they are, but if they aren’t I won’t be like “Uuhn. Nintendo and Game Freak are the worst.”
i am really hoping these are real and am not giving up hope just yet. if i may point out remember when the starters evos got leaked out for black and white every site said they were fake then they turned out real. just saying not going to rule this out yet
I am just LOVING this. 😀 Oh these fun rumors and CoroCoro “leaks”. How I missed you. ; u ;
There’s one thing that catches my eye that I would not mind being fake. In the second picture with the boy, it kinda looks like he has that owl Pokemon behind him. Dunno if it’s been stated before or not, but HNNG I miss having my Pokemon follow me. Please let that feature come back.ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
“Not mind being fake”? Psh I meant being real. I think it’s time I got to bed now. xD
sad sad sad day, i so want a grass owl (and this one looks way better than that old one) i can still hope the real fake to these, is that they are not fake
Maybe, if these starters are imported, then maybe that would give the new professor a reason to give them to the protagonist. Have them follow him/her around and study their unique behavior… (hence them being out of the pokeball)
Clever! I want this to be real so bad the owl is flawless (◡﹏◡✿)
I must admit, being a lover of Grass-type Pokemon, that I am extremely… disappointed, fearful, etc. of this little cactus owl starter. I mean, I COULD accept it’s validity as a starter, but I don’t want to. It just seems so different compared to the others… However, given that these scans are indeed real, I will reserve my judgement about this “starter” in hopes that the latter evolutionary stages are more satisfying, as well as leaving the little cactus owl some time to grow own me. (I’ve never EVER liked the desert, so challenge accepted, I suppose.) I, through clenched teeth, may find B/W2 being the first main series Pokemon game wherein I do not choose the Grass type starter. :/ (Nah, I’ll probably choose the little fuck anyway.)
-All new region? Awesome; I hate Unova’s ring-design.
-All new Pokemon? Awesome; I’m fine with having more. Seems a little soon for it though.
Other than that, I’m leaning toward the persuasion that this is fake.
Also note that none of the Unova Pokemon have split evolutions. Maybe Black2 and White 2 is the remedy for such an instance. (Even Eevee had a 3-way split evolution in Generation 1)
Maybe Gamefreak got smart and pulled a ‘bait and switch’ on us,by not having these extra Pokemon built in the Black and White cartridges, but planning to release them for a sequel rather than a third version. (This also explains Kyerum being the mascot in alternate formes)
They have to have figured out that ‘we’ noticed their patterns/trends of the past 4 generations… idk…
…also I cannot see the reasoning of having a “whole new adventure” without a ‘whole new region’, and a ‘whole new region’ without new Pokemon/Gym Leaders/etc…
THIS! … You understand me. lol This is seriously my reasoning for why these rumors and scans don’t seem entirely fake. It is not a whole new adventure, or a sequel, without at least a new region… And, you can’t have a new region without new starters/pokemon. They aren’t sequels without it; they are just a third game with two versions.
Oh God… I want these to be real so so so so bad. I honestly will not be impressed with these sequel games if they don’t have new Pokemon and a new region. To me, and I’ve been saying this ever since Black and White 2 were announced, these games aren’t sequels if they are in the same region with just a slightly different storyline. If that were the case, it’s like we are just getting two versions of a third game instead of one. For it to be a sequel it has to be massively different.
… I just want this to be real. And reading people’s comments make me so frustrated. What is the point in arguing this, if we are just going to know (at the most) by the end of this week if this is real or not. With this scan, I’m leaning even more so on it being real….
You’re not gonna get your wish. There will not be new Pokemon in B2&W2. I pity you if you’re actually getting your hopes up for that.
You pity me, who the hell are you? A comment like that is totally unnecessary and out of line, because there is absolutely nothing wrong with getting your hopes up.
My main point with everything I comment, is that these games are not really sequels without (at the very least) a new region. If it takes place in Unova, with the same Region, same starters, all the same Pokemon, and (most likely) the majority of the same character; then, these are not sequels. They are just two versions of a third game. A new regions with new Pokemon is not that crazy of an idea. It’s extremely plausible.
These images may be fake, but that doesn’t mean the idea of New Pokemon and a new region isn’t true, and it doesn’t mean the rumors from a few days ago aren’t either. We’ll find everything out in just a few days. Yeah, I may be getting my hopes up, but that’s because I have certain expectations when they say these games are “sequels.” I don’t really like the Unova region, so unless there are major major changes, I don’t think I’ll be too interested in buying these games.
Woah there, simmer down. I didn’t mean to sound pretentious, though I guess I kinda did.
I’m just saying that there are NOT going to be new Pokemon in B2&W2, and if you get your hopes up for that, you’re going to be disappointed. It’s just not gonna happen.
Y’all are gonna be so pissed if these turn out to be real, and like you always do, backtrack and say, “see I told you it was real” when at first you were all like “OMG so obviously fake!”
On a sidenote, I want all of these things. That owl and platypus are both AMAZING.
I like this style, but is the fake.
if there is no flaw and news, I might think this is really.
Honestly, if it weren’t for that grammar error in the text I would believe these so much. But everybody makes mistakes, so I’m sitting 50/50 on this. I just want the new CoroCoro to come out already.
please be true…if it is, just accept the fact that gamefreak is making some changes with their traditional generation concepts… new pokemon, new sub-region, new gyms… anything new is accepted.. this is gen5, not gen1-4 and it doesnt need to follow everything what gen1-4 did… (even gen 2 make itself unique with its 16 badges)…
What are we looking at in terms of evidence AGAINST this being real?
I’m not talking about gut reactions to the images, I mean like the bit about the battle text not being grammatically correct, or maybe someone has noticed a spot that indicates photoshop – stuff like that.
THE CREATOR ADMITTED IT TO BE FAKE!
Mucrush or Bulbagarden Made it
his deviantART
http://www.pokemon-diamond.deviantart.com/
PS: I messaged him, and he said that he DIDN’T start the rumors started by ganondolphin. Could this mean it’s still real?
“PS: I messaged him, and he said that he DIDN’T start the rumors started by ganondolphin. Could this mean it’s still real?”
Yeah, what if the guy just made the fakes based on some official info? That’s what I think happened from the start anyways. A Europe based region would be great, can’t wait to see what ends up being true!
Yeah dude, that’s what i thought since the beginning… i think the information is real, and this guy was just trying to draw those pokemon based on that info.
Still, there’s hope fans… ther’s some hope!! 😉
By that I mean the rumors. We all know the scan is fake 😛

We still think (and I have some evidence) that the ganondolphin rumours are fake.
No matter what comes in corocoro, black and white 2 will be disappointments.
Why are you always so negative ?
Well, it always looks like I’m negative, isn’t it? xD
No, we’ve discussed this alot, along with some major hyping, but I’ve always been realistic minded. So, when I decide to comment on something, it’s mostly with bad news, so it seems I’m a bit pessimistic.
And don’t think my comments means that BW2 will be bad. I expect them to be very good.But when you get rumors like this, it will always below people their (or only my?) expectations.
These are fake, but they look so real! Well done the creator of these, both the art and the sprites look very authentic!
THESE IMAGES ARE FALSE! THE AUTHOR IS IDENTIICOU TODAY, HERE: http://my.deviantart.com/messages/#/d4vrtzx
ON DEVIANTART.
It would be awsome if pokemon creator saw the grass owl and added it to the game I would love that pokemon
Just to point out, you can tell it’s fake by the difference in the image quality. The owl is sharper (higher resolution) while the Kyurem graphics are blurry (low resolution, taken from the internet). You wouldn’t have this consistency in an actual, printed version. Also, the quality is inconsistent with other leaked scans.
The owl is adorable, though. I wish it was real.
It’s faker than my tits.
