RUMOR: Images Show Final Froakie, Chespin Evolutions & New Pokémon

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!

  1. -Start Rant here-

    I might actually pick Fennekin or Chespin as my starter instead of Froakie. The Froakie evolution just does NOT apply to me. It’s hideous. A bulbous tongue sticking out of it’s mouth wrapped around like a stupid scarf? It doesn’t look anything like it’s pre-evolutions either! It’s like Game Freak completely abandoned the design! I hate it!

    • I hope in a more nuanced way. Right now, it does appear very witch-like with the pointy nose and dress. Subtle always wins in design so long as the motif is clear.

      And I agree, even though a mage would be coo’, a witch would be ‘wicked’.

  2. I am both baffled and amused that we’ve been allowed to run amok and off-topic in this comments section for this length of time with no intervention from any of the moderators. I mean seriously, these conversations are going everywhere.

  3. I am confused, are these real or not? or is it still unknown? I’m hoping these are not real, I dont like Greninja’s design at all

  4. I don’t do teams…ever. But if I had to make a “team” for X/Y with new Pokemon: Chespin, Helioptile, MegaAmpharos, Pyroar (female), Malamar and MegaMawile

  5. Here’s my team so far for Pokemon X:

    Froakie
    Talonflame
    Tyrantrum (will teach it Iron Tail so I can destroy Fairies and Ice Fang for other Dragon and Ground types if it can learn that!)
    Hawklucha (if it is real, might have to pick Chespin instead and get another Fire type like Pyroar so that Hawlucha will not coincide with Talonflame. Haha.)

    Team if Hawklucha is real:

    Froakie
    Pyroar
    Tyrantrum
    Hawklucha

    What do you guys think?

  6. After beating the game I’m going to replay it only using diglett and that Binacle thing and then my binacle and diglett army SHALL RULE THE WORLD!

  7. So since it seems that we’ve successfully beaten this bunch of rumors to death, I think I’m going to head out. I might poke my head back into these comments later, but I kind of doubt anything’s going to come up that would change the fact that we basically don’t know anything about any of their validity 😛

  8. I was on 4Chan last night when these were posted, and though two of the new Pokemon look legit, and the overworld pictures were not posted at the same time, the person that posted the pictures of the Pokemon confirmed that they were fake.

  9. 5th gen revealed 55/156 pokemon before release while 4th revealed 30/108. I highly doubt that nintendo would reveal 40/70 of them before release
