These are not necessarily real images, their authenticity has not been established. Please do NOT treat this as a news post, instead enjoy commenting & speculating. We will update you if any details come out to (dis)prove any of this.
We’ve marked the main image warning of Pokémon X & Y spoilers so we won’t be hiding images in these posts.
The pictures above purport to be from a review copy of Pokémon X. As you can see, they claim that this is the final evolution of Froakie, Greninja, and a new Flying/Fighting-type Pokémon called Hawlucha. The latter Pokémon also has a new Fighting-type attack called Flying Press.
UPD2: A new image has surfaced claiming to show the final evolution of Chespin from behind. This is from a different person than the person who posted Greninja & Hawlucha. UPD: Confirmed fake
The poster also mentioned that XP is also much easier to earn and that entire parties will get some from battles with the use of EXP Share, a key item found early in the game. He also mentioned that XY only introduce around 70 new Pokémon. He also said that there barely is any endgame, with you only being able to catch Mewtwo and the Z legendary.
UPD1: A new Pokémon has supposedly been photographed. No other details are currently known. Remember, we do not know if these Pokémon are real or fake, so please don’t consider them as either until they are proven one or the other.
UPD3: We broke the site record for most visits in one day! Also, be wary of all the ‘leaks’ out there, there are so much (blatant) fakes going around that the legit leaks may get lost in it!
Looking forward to reading your comments!

Featured Thread: X/Y team From now and then by MacSkiddo
Here’s something:

It’s already been shown that the A has been changed to be more pointed…
No, not again… We’ve discussed this. There’s been an update.
Game Freak changed the way the As look.
They changed the A earlier, sometime around the Torchic Distribution I think?
oh got it my bad
I honestly think this is all real at this point considering review copies are already out and people are likely gonna disobey Nintendo to get popular. However, the text info likely came from another source. As Pokebeach does not have the claims about no aftergame and 70 Kalos Pokemon only. I think that he is showing Pokemon (and some good ones at that, except the barnacle one). The Froakie evo will grow on me soon enough, I hope. Cause I can’t see anyone faking these shots. I really can’t.
Brawk!
A nice Hawlucha fanart for ya!
It looks like a Mexican Batman.
Show you.
Wha?
I’m good with the pictures being real (they most likely are), but hopefully the text guy is lying.
There’s no doubt the text guys is lying. It’s full of Tauros crap.
Fake, Probably! 70 new Pokémon, no way! How many fans GameFreak would lose have the game have no endgame and only 70 new Pokemon. Plus with all the hype and big expectations it will bad for GF to disappoint. Don’t like Greninja, it’s not like the other Froakie evolution. “Hawlucha” is cool but has a stupid name and the other Pokémon named “Binacle” as said on Pokébeach looks cool.
the text is fake!
The text part is fake. The images, are another story.
If anyone has learned ANYTHING from this gen is to keep an open mind.
I have my friend
The second photo of Greninja is fake; it’s an edited version of http://www.serebii.net/xy/inkay2.jpg. You can compare it http://images.4chan.org/vp/src/1380490101666.png
I think we could all agree that the second Greninja photo was fake.
At least now we have conclusive evidence 😛
Looks fake, smells fake. Lol.
what second photo
it’s the second link I posted
How the hell was that not obvious, people?? :
I figured it was pretty clear, but at least now we could conclusively call it fake and close any discussion on it
yeah totally fake. What we don’t know is if it comes from the same source..
I personally suspect that it does, and that Greninja itself is fake. Sorry to anyone who had become a fan of it, but I don’t see why a second source would fake an image of a supposedly real Pokemon
Every image of “Greninja” that’s been posted has it in the same stance. When will a different stance be “leaked”?
I wish that GF could prove these real or fake :/ It would make life a lot simpler.
they’d be working around the clock if they tried to disprove every fake Pokemon
i…………….. need……………………….proof………………………..*starts crying*
is it still shiny palkia or is the shiny gartina
i really need to know
Depends on where you live.
Outside of US- Shiny Giratina
US- Last day of shiny Palkia
At least I think most of outside of US is shiny Giratina
I honestly just want these damn games to come out so the rumor mill can stop! I really think it all started thanks to the mention of the embargo of reviews until the 4th of October. People got excited and starting faking information and images. Cause some of these images could be fake as I remember seeing a Shiny Fennekin from a demo that looked real but was actually fake. Do any of you guys remember?
I do. It had purple ear fur, right?
Yes. That’s the one!
Yeah, there was that one person that went on a shiny rampage and randomly started editing tons of models to look shiny. That was kind of exciting, but it got unbelievable real fast 😛
Yeah, the problem with this is, there’s nothing to disprove it. I think the images are perfect in every way possible. I just hate how people are like “The hawk pokemon looks like a bird with human torso and legs attached!” It actually looks really good, even if it is a fake design.
I call binacle fake, look at the way the horns overlap with the box above it, an awful programming mistake. It also has no shadows and the buttons on the bottom are different compared to the ones in hawlucha picture.
It’s the PokeDex model, not an in-battle model.
it’s also on a different screen in the Pokedex than Hawlucha, you can see the button for listening to its cry.
The Pokedex info has different screens, things like cry are on a different screen, which is why the buttons are different.

this one goes “out of the box” too
Congratulations guys! We’ve broken the record for most comments on a single article. It was a group effort, really.
YAY!! 😀 What was the old record?
Approximately 2900 on the Mega Evolutions reveal
yay for us now show me all the new pokemon ._.
Imagine when Pokemon X & Y are out…I won’t be here until I get the games in my hands though :
The Internet will die and my computer will explode.
My poke balls will explode.
Ouch!
elektross can do sky battles!
Oh wow. That’s pretty funny.
it has levitate ability
if by “funny” you mean “potentially game-breaking” then yes 😛
Well, it’s funny how something like Eelektross can battle in the Sky.
I’d be terrified if I saw Eelektross writhing around in the sky above me.
It’s not everyday you see a giant eel flying up in the sky shooting thunderbolts :p
look at Gyarados he can do sky battles too
It’ll reign over all Flying-types with its Electric-type moves! :O
Nope, Zapdos will do that.
It, too! The skies are where thunder rules, after all.
Doduo is game-breaking 😛 Everytime I think about Sky Battles and levitate, I think- that’s their ability so they can levitate if they have levitate. I imagine them levitating around the sky. That helps me make it more believable xD
jordin did u get my request
Oh right! Here you go 🙂
where u get the art
:O It’s so green the Lucky Charms Leprechaun would be jealous.
thank u

Is fake because it’s just thishttp://www.serebii.net/xy/inkay2.jpg
Badly photo shopped
Already proven fake by Similarity.
Oh, OK thanks
bdw: serebii doesnt talk rumors till they are prooven real
My motto is: “If it’s ugly and people don’t like it, then it’s real.”
So yeah, I think all three of the new Pokemon are real. We have to get used to them. Everyone seems to be fangirling over Hawlucha and some people are hating it. And the Froakie evo just looks too hideous for words. I’m gonna, honestly have to pick a Kanto starter in favor of this ugly mess. It’s seriously gonna be hell for the next 13 days!
When is Fennekins evo gunna be realeased ugh……….
Is that bad or good?
Judging by his/her username, I guess it’s good.
found this, looks believable but since this is a rumor, don’t go telling people this is 100% legit
we established that this was fake a loooong while ago 😛
whoops sorry
Awwww… I really liked it. Much more than what we’ve seen with greninja so far.
How many units will pokemon x and y sell seeing the popularity skyrocket after this point?
It has sold over a million preorder copies… XD
I hope Hawlucha is real, Talonflame has not left a good impression in my mouth.
Awww, why? Because of its name?
No, it’s just it doesn’t seem good to me. I like the phoenix look alike, but it’s just not happening.
Oh, ok. I respect why you don’t like it.
It looks cool, don’t get me wrong, but if Hawlucha is real, then hell be my choice. 😀
I’m having a tough time with finding a good Flying type. It’s impossible to choose between Charizard, Hawlucha and Talonflame!
Welcome!! 😀 I hope it’s real too.
Have the new Pokebeach rumors been proven false? Cause I don’t see a lot of people arguing that Froakie’s supposed evo looks nothing like the evo described by the leaker. I had a feeling it was fake and someone was just trying to send in fake leaks to destroy Pokebeach’s reputation.
Hiro said they were…
Remember, he denied the original PB rumors, and look what happened. He’s just butthurt he didn’t get any new info.
Pb rumour?
Pokebeach rumors. The first ones back in May.
Oh duuuh cheers not fully up to speed yet
Nah, I’m not surprised someone didn’t know what PB meant. I was kinda expecting it.
I should have I’ve just been on their site lol
The first ones seem legit. The ‘second’ batch of rumors haven’t really gone anywhere but someone claiming to be a reviewer said they were faked. This third batch (with the pictures above) haven’t been debunked…yet.
my gamestop is having a midnight realse of x and y saying it had the most pre orders of any pokemon game and it has more pre orders then ghost
COD ghost
Not surprised. B/W outsold CoD too.
Hey guys. Good news. Hiro said something about the 70 Pokemon new to Kalos thing being a ruse and that it wouldn’t make sense for them to leave a little less than 20 Pokemon left for us to uncover when we already know and assume about 50 or more of them.
We already established this a looong time ago
I know. That statement just worries me. As does this image: http://imgur.com/rrPO4E3
The person who wrote that is definitely lying; he’s too cocky and boastful. There are at least 101 new Pokemon; it’s already been confirmed that the total number will be at least 750.
EDIT: Additionally, he can’t even remember the name of Pokemon on his own team? Seems unlikely.
So that’s where that came from…
Couldn’t anyone write whatever the hell they wanted to?
For instance:
There will be 600 new pokemon
23 new gym leaders
4 Dark Specialist Elite Four Members
Braixen evolves into a huge witch with a green face and warts.
That is all for now.
Braxien evolves into something sexy!?
Yes, she will rival the sexiness of Gruntilda!
You have gone WAY too far!
And what did he say about the leaked images?
We all knew that was a lie. Hiro has been denying every plausible rumor about X and Y so far.
Ok, I think I’ma be rude, but you’ve been posting waaay to many things we already know. You keep reiterating and regurgitating things we’ve already discussed. You’ve even been in a few of those discussions…
Please try and keep your comments in one thread instead making new comments. It’s kinda spammy.
Downvotes detected! Shots fired! Shots fired!
I will stop. Sorry. 🙁
guys good night i hope i dont miss out anything
Night! 😀
I’m sorry guys for not getting over the 70 Pokemon only in Kalos thing being fake. It’s just that I am a huge worrywart when it comes to rumors and honestly should of stayed off of this in the first place because it’s driving me nuts to the point where I can’t even think straight. This image just worries me: http://imgur.com/rrPO4E3
Don’t worry, I don’t blame you for being worried.
This apparently was posted by someone different from who posted the pics
I hope to Arceus it is. I just want to know which came first.
The post or the pictures? Or the pictures then the post?
Idk, all I know is PJ said they were seperate
Though I don’t believe or want to believe the written rumours, if Xerneas is indeed 715 or so, that may just mean they have gone wacky with the pokedex order and randomly put legendaries in the middle. Just saying…
Excuse me for this, but this seems to be my team so far. Any comments?
no fire types?
Aww yes, the big old question. Ice is super effective on grass and I want to experiment with freeze dry.
I hate/love how many great fire pokemon are in this generation.
Fennekin-line, Pyroar, Talonflame, there is no reason not to have a fire type!
Nice choices! And if the bird thing isn’t real??
I’ll go into a deep depression.
Good team! Very balanced so far!
Thanks!
i LOOOOOOOVVVEEEE Spritzee <<3333
