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
I would be disappointed with only 70 unless the regional dex was bigger than b/w2. More than 300 pokes pre national would be an okay compensation. Anyways I’m not buying the pictures till they get clearer and more of the screens in higher quality lol
I will remain sceptical until proven otherwise
I’ve always been one for not believing anything till release day.
lol kinda went over that hours ago. The problem is that they’ve release about 40 (give or take) Pokemon in official press release. That means that they have already revealed half their next. Thats not include the probably alternate stages of the pokemon released. (Which increases the total to almost 50 (again give or take) There is no way Nintendo would release almost 3/4s of the Kalos dex throughout all of these. And Kalos being without an endgame portion is quite sad. (Being that the lasts generations (IV and V) have had end game content. So this is most likely fake
I feel like for gen 4 and 5 they released no more than 10% of their pokédex pre game release. Of course they also normally revealed more than one eevee normally….
Greninja in action.
Whoa, is this legit?
Alright, who downvoted me?
I have no words for this ~_~ It doesn’t disappoint me but it doesn’t make me happy either….
Am I the only one who wouldn’t be disappointed to see Greninja be confirmed as real?
I wouldn’t be disappointed, it’s just not what I was expecting to get..
Honestly, that’s why I’m thinking this could be real. Just because, it’s something I don’t think a fan would come up with. Much like the samurott that keeps getting brought up.
I sure wouldn’t.
But, then again, I’m choosing Chespin. 😛
I’m choosing all 3 since I’m getting both X and Y ;P
I wouldn’t be disappointed at all. I actually really like it.
I just have to get used to it……..it will take a while……
Whoa, ok, still doesn’t much look like Frogadier, but there’s some shading there! This could be legit
Well. That’s something.
Okay. Okay.
This actually looks legit.
And I wouldn’t be disappointed either.
Phantom downvoter, just because I state my opinion, does not mean you should downvote.
USE YOUR WORDS!
I still don’t think it’s legit, it looks like the same pose it had in some fanart I saw of it earlier… if it is though, I don’t really mind I suppose, it could be cool.
oh DANG I was right
If it was flipped, wouldn’t the hand in the back be in front now?
No surprise it’s fake.
I would post this up front so everyone can see!
This disappointed me though….I was actually getting quite fond of it.
Lets hope Greninja is still real! *please don’t be fake, please don’t be fake*
It could still be real, just because this image is faked doesn’t mean the others were.
I hope so! 😀
What is that pink thing around its neck? I can’t tell if its an actual scarf, or just it using its tongue to hide its face like a stereotypical ninja.
Tongue
Thanks for the answer. The tongue thing is kinda wierd but i still think the overall design is good.
Yay! I’m glad this is real! I know a LOT of people are gonna hate me, but I like it’s design. It feels very ninja-like and is an appropriate Water/Fighting type.
It’s not confirmed real yet
Oh….. It does look rather real, but, yeah, it isn’t confirmed real yet. *cries a little inside*
It seems like it’s a good nudge in the real direction though… We’ll know soon enough.
Yeah.. It is a good design. I like the idea of a tongue scarf to hide its face like a ninja!
Is it weird I’m creepily following comments and refreshing every few minutes to keep seeing if new leaks pop up? :c
It’s completely normal, especially at this time of the year. We are ALL doing this.
Oh good! c: It’s pretty amusing IMO ^~^
It seems like you are new here! Welcome!
Yea… Thanks… 😛
Hell no!
Well, it sure does look way more like a Water/Fighting-type
than a Water/Dark-type. Quilladin evo, please be awesome. Pwease?
Not confirmed. However, if this is confirmed, I approve!
It’s kinda cute and badass.
The tongue around it makes it adorable for me, I dunno why XD
I like the pink, blue, and white color palette, and the fact it uses it’s tongue as a rogue’s scarf makes it adorable.
I’m glad this is Froakie’s evolution if it actually is !
it really dosent look like its actual tongue but maybe the bubbles devolved into some camouflage tongue thing
Where did you get it from?
Another pokemon ruined.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like the fact that its Bubble Scarf is gone, but it still keeps its is sleek appearance and looks like a Ninja/Rogue. The tongue is someone off putting, but I can’t say it isn’t creative.
I honestly love the tongue scarf. But I still would have like it to have a bubble hoodie with the tongue.
I mean most likely its part of its animation. Not that a I see a close and clear image, its actually pretty cool.
The only thing that still make me scream “Fake” is the fact that it lose the dark blue coloring (the ‘mask’, ‘gloves’, and his ‘shoes’) it gained as Frogadier as well as the bubble scarf
I love how it’s pushing a wild and innovative design without being cluttered and remaining fairly clean and minimalistic.
It’s just a step back from forgdier is it?
These leaks are disappointing me D:
I don’t like the triangles…..
Reminds me of elves ears. Looking a ‘rogue class’ in google images, at good number of the thieves and rogues are also Elvin races. With that said, it fits the medieval theme perfectly, and makes him appear less Eastern/Asian ninja, and more Western/European thief/rogue.
It’s not “in action”, it’s just in the same position with a different background
I’m new to this whole discussion board thing but it’s really cool.. I can be a poke-nerd without judgement.. (Zigzagoon is awesome, just saying)
Lol I remeber when I first battled one and it used surf on me and I was like “wtf it can learn Surf!” LOL Best Pokemoment till Black and White.
Zigzagoon and Riachu are my fav..
No idea why
lol We all got faves, mine are Pikachu and Charizard, no clue why but I just love them lol
Indeed we do!
Good news is that you’ll get Zigzagoon early on in X and Y according to the Pokedex pic, so your team will be set up nicely 😉 IMO I hope we could trade too lol.
Well, if you are new, WELCOME! 😀
Zigzagoon is acutally one of my fav early route Pokemon.
It’s really cute and it uses Surf!
Thanks!
My first zigzagoon was called zigzan and lineoon was called Limey.. Those were the days 🙂
Yeah, Hoenn and Emerald is the region and game I am familiar with the most.
They were very much the days.
Back when I was totally dumb and couldn’t beat the E4.
Ah, such memories of me trying to beat them badly. xD
I can remember trying get the regi’s damn they were hard!
He is also so terrifying that he makes pokemon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBxiO6eil7I
I have a Linoone that’s over 10 years old. 🙂 Over a decade of awesome loot through Pickup.
That is awesome my original bulbasaur was a level hundred and would be 9.. :/ but I traded my pearl version in to blockbuster and lost over 500 pokemon from leaf green and ruby and emerald. Aahh well new memories with x and y!
Aww… I actually have almost the rest of my original Ruby Version team in Black 2. Aside from Linoone, there’s Wynaut, Castform, Shiftry, and Swampert. But… Pelipper never made it past Emerald… 🙁
Another new Pokemon?
That Pokemon doesn’t really fit. It looks photoshopped.
But that’s just my perspective.
I see it too, it looks photoshopped a lot.
If it’s blurry, it’s most likely fake.
It’s not that hard to take a nice pic of a 3DS game.
IMMA CALL BULLPOOP
So I see a chespin evo holy pooo!! even if fake
http://images.4chan.org/vp/src/1380509067532.jpg
GAH Blurriness </3
This one honestly looks fake, but one that’s down the page a little look real. I’m so confused. ._.
http://images.4chan.org/vp/src/1380509840746.jpg
LOOOVE that fan art!
That actually looks like a piece of fan art floating around, this one actually.
http://images.4chan.org/vp/src/1380507858179.jpg
Though, it’s also looks like a darker blue than the screenshot down below, where there is clearly a lighter blue on the legs… Hrm…
Chespin final evo is confirmed fake and this is how leakers do it.
http://mydecolife.tumblr.com/post/62680288067/so-since-everyone-now-knows-the-truth-p-its-a
*sigh* oh well…………….
Kyletan it’s Kyle from like six hours ago how are you lol
Hey there. Other than getting disappointed from fake leaks, I’m fine! How are you?
Ya if that Chespin evo is real, I’m glad that I made the right choice lol
Proven fake sadly. And thekyletan just posted the making of it 🙁
I saw………….
After I posted that! XD But its still saddening.
what if the pictures are blurry because they have the 3d on?
They wouldn’t be THAT blurry…
take a picture of a 3d game with the 3d all the way up and tilted a little someone please lets break these myths!
Watch IGN videos. They have shown videos of the 3D effect on a normal camera.
realllyyy??????????
Some videos at least, maybe not IGN but still.
hahaha what if they have not phone quality cameras though some of those are pretty crappy
I wish we could record the actual 3D effect of the 3DS lol
The thing that makes me think these new “supporting” pics of Greninja are fake is that they’re all in the same EXACT pose that we’ve seen…Isn’t that a bit odd?? Anyway, good night for realz this time
Yeah, but it’s possible that that is his official and normal pose.
I kinda want him to be real… :C
Mee Too!!
I agree look at this:
http://images.4chan.org/vp/src/1380509840746.jpg
The cutest part of Greninja is that he grew a little tail 😉
This guy thinks he’s lickatoung
He’s better than lickitung!! Lickitung wishes it were him!
Im so terrible at spelling pokemon names! HA
It’s ok we no judge you!
I like these more…..
http://images.4chan.org/vp/src/1380503658906.png
……………………
I do too Froakie’s evo looks more ninja, rogue, assassin, type deal thingy….. lol
I Love them all
Chespin’s is the only one I like.
Froakie’s is okay, while Fennekin’s is not great
I… LOVE… THESE!! 😀
Stay hopeful 😀
I was advised to post this up here, so here it is:
Damn son! Damn! lol I should had known. Wow I find it amazing how many people are photoshop maniacs!
look at nothing trust no one all is fake untill proven real.
The close image would of had to be redrawn for it to fit, the proportions are actually quite different from the fan art. But, the full screen shot image is almost certainly that fan art, it fits near perfectly, the close one, not as much, and the colors are a bit different. But… Yeah, actually, I just realized the eye is a lot smaller on that close image, if you compare it to the original screenshot, it’s eye is a lot larger on the head and closer to the head spine.
PLEASE BE FAKE!!!!
Ok if anybody is willing I will breed my Froakie if someone breeds theyre chespin and feenekin and I’ll trade some!
I dont believe the Greninja and Chespin ones,but Hawlucha seems kinda legit….but then again,there’s so many photoshop masters out there..
some men just want to watch the world burn others want to photoshop it to make it seem like its burning.
I need a wear wolf pokemon.. The fan art to mightiana’s Evo is just awesome!!
Another person that agrees!! 😀 That makes 3!!
ghost/fighting
Maybe 4? if you’re agreeing with us
Dark/Fighting more so. Lycanthropes are still alive lol. Now if this was a Pokemon past on a Vampire, then Dark/Ghost lol
not with fairies around….
Thats like saying not to use Swampert because 4x weakness to Grass, coverage man! Coverage! Ice beam that B$%#
with 60 base speed….good luck
Honestly if there were to make a Werewolf Pokemon, it would be in this generation, Dark, Dark/Fighting, or Dark/Fairy (since Werewolves are part of folklore and lycanthropy has roots in magic)
I always thought of Zoroark as a kind of werewolf..
I honestly want some Pokemon Fusions thrown in here somewhere…Honestly just think about how amazing some of the fusions would be if GameFreak took some of the fan art that’s been made of some of them and put them in there as experiments that Team Flare uses and would be able to catch and train…….
we had digimon arguments i dont want yu-gi-oh ones too.
Just stating my opinion, it would be a different plot twist then just them taking over the world….. EVERY SINGLE TIME………
So if the game had “pokemon fusions” as you said,what would be Team Flare’s goal then?
Honestly from what has been stated, Team Flare wants to reimage the world in their vision of Beauty, not world domination (at least on the surface). There ideals are more reminiscent of how Magma and Aqua wanted to reshape the world, but not actually conquer it. (Sup Extreme environmentalist)
would they just use those monsters to take over the world anyway? every villain either wants to control the world or destroy it.
Exactly.
I never got why they would want to DESTROY the world, they’d just die right along with it :/
because their insane! O-O
I see what your saying, but it just would be different than them demanding to take pokemon like they have done, instead they could create their own.
create their own… by taking other pkmn from trainers and fusing their DNA.
Like, remember how in Pokemon the first movie…. well never mind they took Pokemon there too…. I don’t understand how to explain it but I just want Pokemon Fusions and a bigger plot twist to them taking over the world like add something to it >_<
yea we really need something like that before the story becomes stale.
Like I kinda want a deeper darker side to Pokemon, that’s for a certain age and up because Pokemon is more focus on kids than they are on us who have been there since Pokemon Red
PokeFusion and MegaEvo’s steady on there 😉
I would like to see how Fairy was discovered. IMO I made a theory that professors like Oak discovered fairy as an enhanced version of the Normal type, and was evolved from regular non-Fairy Pokemon who required defense from the Fighting types, Dark types, and due to explicit use against dragon types (ie using them in battles). This knowledge lead them to develop a strength and change itself in a form of self defense and learn to make themselves strong towards dragons, and ultimately resisting them all together by process of research.
It would be nice to see if they actually added that discovery into the story. However, that didn’t really happened in Gen II with Dark and Steel. Yet, the stories in Pokemon are now more detailed.
According to Masuda, apparently from what people have been saying, the storyline in X&Y is more detailed. Don’t Quote me on this lol
Here, this’ll be what happens.
Who else is hoping IGN will “accidentally” leak another pokemon?
More like who isn’t? I ‘m hoping for another leak!! 😀
I love that Gamefreak had to make a trailer just for Pyroar thanks to IGN xD
They did?!?! I thought that was all planned XD Have an “accidental” leak and then show a trailer with it the next day
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa…is that Chespin’s final evolution? IS IT FAKE? TELL MEH!
Es FAKE
can you give us a link?
It’s in the article above…
oh ok my bad
Si it is
It’s fake, thankfully.
yup, it’s definitely photoshopped. cause you can see the name vivillion where as it’s name is “Vivillon”
Yeah,its fake
http://images.4chan.org/vp/src/1380503658906.png look at these though they were posted earlier Xatu
these are the best hope they are real
Mee Too I Love All Of Them!!!!
its fake theres a lot of inconsistency in the pic from the model to the shadow and the stats.
Es muy falso
What’s with all the Spanish talk people? XD
¿Que pasa? ¿Usted no entiende español? Ay, bendito…
>:P
Everyday I’m translating…
Da da da da da-dada~♪
Just took a four hour finances test…did I miss anything important…
Chespin final evo=fake
There is a new image of the froakster evo. It looks nice, but they are all of the same pose which is suspicious though not a for sure confirmation of a fake.
http://mediacdn.disqus.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/638/3713/original.jpg
Ah yeah I saw those…it’s a battle of the chicken and the egg.
Togetic vs Blaziken?
*Togepi
Or Exeggcute.
Um, I think she’s talking about the theory of “which came first.”
As in, which came first, the fanart or the screenchot?
I know. I was just listing egg Pokemon.
There was another Graninja screenshot, but looking at it, it appears to be fan art based on the original screenshot, as some details don’t match up to the original even, particularly on a few proportions.
So not related to the original photo?
It’s from a more front angle, but that angle matches up with a recent fan art, so yeah, it has nothing to do with the original photo.
It’s weird it no longer has yellow eyes.
Really, the shape of the head doesn’t match up with the original screenshot, so I’m at least nearly certain the new screenshot is probably fake at the least.
froakie final evo fakes everywhere
Yup
What is this now?
I like how the picture so conveniently crops the signature on the fan art.
It’s almost like it was meant to be…
I heard no information could leak until the 4th when the contract between the two parties is over.. So at this point everything is just speculation.
Exactly. Can’t wait til Friday! 😀
Dude, Friday, the floodgates are probably gonna open when that Embargo is lifted lol
I need a few bits to leak so I can gradually build my anticipation for the 12th..
And Corocoro leaks early! (I think) It’s supposed to be 20 pages on X and Y and Mega Evolution! 😀
Really when was this suppose to happen?
I cant wait for the reviews to come out! I just know they’ll sneak a new pokemon in 😀
How could they not? 😀
reviews?
I bet IGN will be all ironic and be the review that doesn’t reveal a new Pokemon XD
Most if not all review copies of the game are being sent out on release date (i guess GF and Nintendo are scared of Pokemon being leaked) So we’ll get review on or after release date most likely
do you know when reviews on IGN come out?
4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
r u sure?
I totally thought thats what they said I may be wrong sorry if I am );
That is the earliest they can come out.
Probably the 11th or something.
Sadly I dread the reviews atm. I can see big sites putting it down for silly reasons, like GameSpot who said Black and White aren’t good, and some other silly reasons and gave it a 7 (did the same with GTA V and revoked its 7 to a 9.5 after outrage). Added in I think these BIG label guys will down grade these games to a 8 at best. :/ Oh how I hope ClaasicGameRoom and GameXplain give them honest reviews.
gamespot give every nintendo game bad/mediocre scores
I’ve always found Gamespot to be biased.
It’s incredibly mainstream and unprofessional.
Yeah, they only care about Call of Duty.
And probably Beyond. Which has more GUNS.
Pokemon needs to get guns!
Mega Blastoise!
They gave GTA V a bad score at first for misogyny. And even almost gave it a 7. IMO I hate GameSpot reviews, and think they really aren’t reliable now. I honestly think Polygon (gave Last of Us a 5) and GameSpot are bad reviewers who only give good reviews to those who pay $. Sad really.
The last of us got a five? lol what? I mean, GTA 5 is kinda…mediocre to me but TLOU was absolutely amazing.
Polygon says otherwise sadly. That game right there is a GOTY contender with Bioshock Infinite, GTA V and from leaks, InJustice. IMHO This, Pokemon X and Y, and Fire Emblem Awakening are my GOTY 2013 :p
Sad,but true
sadly GX didnt get review copies 🙁
Not yet.
gamexplain imo are good reviewers…because they talk about the game rather than the score…
You knwo who should review Nintendo games, Johnny from SomeCallMeJohnny or Chuggaconroy. Hell even ProtonJon and Mark from ClassicGameRoom give better reviews them GameSpot imo lol
Does anyone look at metacritic? I like how they have several reviews compiled in order to get a wider variety of perspectives. Sometimes around 50.
Metacritic is one of the most bias sites out there.
There is alot of debate among the critics though, sometimes the scores are off by more than 50 out of 100 between any two reviewers.
The also talk about replay value….which is great!
