					<description><![CDATA[Well we all know clear analysis and all reason is pointing to the obvious fact that that 6.5 gen leak is fake, but I&#039;ve decided to go through it, evolution line by evolution line, just for fun. The ideas collected are speculation from the 4chan threads, from here, from other corners of the internet, and a few of my own thoughts. Now do please note I don&#039;t know Japanese so this is based on what other people have said or summary research on my part. What an overall look abundantly clearly points to is how closely this list tracks fan wishes and common fakemon ideas, especially pre-xy rumours,  which underlines how wish fulfilling and simply unlikely to be true it is. Nonetheless, I think the hard work behind this list deserves for it to be analysed and it&#039;d be an interesting discussion topic to feed our hype while we wait for a probable announcement.

Ringomushi/Ringobae: Bug/Grass
Fruit Maggot/Fly Pokémon (&quot;apple bug/fly): A fly pokémon is a pretty expected idea, and basing it on fruit flies is an easy way of making them interesting. How the apple may be included in their design is the interesting part. Some have suggested Ringomushi could live in an apple/have part of it&#039;s body be an apple.

Kokiburi/Gomiburi: Bug/Dark
Squalid Pokémon (&quot;cockroach/garbage cockroach&quot;) : again a cockroach is a pretty standard inspiration, and one that has appeared before on fakemon lists. This entry also reminds me of the dud content in the XY early release leaks about a Bug/Dark pokémon called &quot;Nitx&quot;, and vaguely of those trap spider/ghost spider fakemon that popped up in earlier rumours.

Dorinoiko/Deinoshishi: Ground
Mud Bath Pokémon (&quot;mud piglet/mud boar&quot;): reminds of those Grass/Rock mushroom pig rumours pre-XY. 

Anoaqua/Aquanoa: Water
Watering Hole Pokémon: I&#039;ve heard these are water buffalo?? That would be a great take on the idea of animals converging on water holes, as a literal take on the species name would be a bit weird.

Kinokooni/Kinrinpu: Fairy/Poison
Fairy Dust/ Fairy Ring Pokémon (&quot;mushroom oni/fairy ring&quot;): the concept of a fairy-ring pokémon, especially associated with mushrooms and the poison type, has been floated by fans since fairy type was announced. IMO a three-stage line would make a nice counterpart to Florges.

Bakemomon/Shiitobake/Futobake: Ghost
Thread/Sheet/Bed Pokémon (cotton/sheet/futon ghost): Another weird object-based pokémon for people to complain about, though this could alternatively go the way of chandelure and be accepted if it&#039;s design is great. Seemingly based on the Ittan-momen (cotton) and Boroboroton (futon) japanese yokai, as well as western sheet ghosts, so there&#039;s thought behind this and little valid criticism to be made on making this evo line. Still waiting for a Kasa-Obake umbrella ghost ;) 

Iesupii(E-Es-P)/Saihhiku (Psichic)/Uberihhiku (Uberichic): Psychic- /Normal- /Ghost:
Instinct/Prudence/Conscience pokémon: what seems to be a trio based on psychological/psychoanalytical archetypes, with many suggesting they correspond to Freud&#039;s Id, Ego and Superego concepts. That&#039;s an awesome idea. Knowing gamefreak they&#039;d probably throw some other animal or thing into the mix to flesh ou the design. I&#039;d be curious to hear theories about what that could be.

Chirahoora/Koonhoon: Ice/Flying
Snowflake/Snowstorm Pokémon: the (quite obvious) consensus says these are snowy owls, which is a long-awaited design for an ice-type. We&#039;ve got polar bears and icebergs now , make this happen game freak! Also the oft used fakemon name Snowl pretty much can&#039;t be beaten as a localisation choice for for Chirahoora. 

Peppimento/Peppanero: Grass- /Fire
Mild/Spicy Pokémon: Chili peppers seem obvious here, a common suggestion for grass/Fire types.

Koryou/Naitoragon: Dragon/Steel
Shield/Lance Pokémon: some suggest this is based on the japanese legend of a lance that could pierce every shield and a shield that could block any lance. It&#039;s also nice to see legendary-exclusive types be reworked into standard pokémon. More like this please.

Biidokage/Dezaatokage: Poison/Ground
Poison Lizard Pokémon: poison lizard pokémon are common on fakemon lists, and for good reason, they&#039;re a very pokemony concept with a lot of example that could feed designs for an evolutionary line. These could be based gila monsters, 
komodo dragons, spiny desert lizards, or other squamates.

Haorimuri/Haorideyu: Fire- /Water
Chimney/Hot Spring Pokémon: people generally seem to be thinking these are primates, with the obvious inspiration of hot-spring enthusiast and fiery-looking japanses macaques and a second stage that could be a bit chunkier, like a yeti or orang-utan. IMO Ice/Fire would be better for such a line.

H-Gen/Okishigen/H2Otaa: Electric- - /Water
Element/Element/Compound Pokémon: people think this could either be a three-entry line or potentially two distinct pokémon fusing into a third one. I&#039;d be more inclined to support the former, one could easily envision a molecule-pokémon evolving into a heavier molecule, and a magneton-like third entry made of two first-stages and one second stage. Atom/molecule fakemon are a thing, and the concept would certainly be a tantalising one for game freak to tackle. As for the names, they seem to be causing a stir, with people saying they&#039;re too strange or too basic (literally &quot;Oxgen&quot;), and even though we&#039;ve hard weird names in the past game freak have moved on, but I&#039;d be inclined to think a weird design would warrant weird names, and game freak are patented trolls.

Noion/Dainoumo: Electric/Psychic
Nerve/Brain Pokémon: electric/psychic type pokémon based on brains (with light-bulbs often included in the design) have popped up as fakemon a few times. It&#039;s an excellent idea that perfectly fits the unusual type combination.

Yukiba/Fubukiba: Ice/Normal- /Dark
Ice Fang Pokémon: these screams wolf pokémon, though plausible alternatives such as husky, snow leopard or sabertooth have been suggested. Wy not add wolverine while we&#039;re at it. Wolves, with dolphins, are undeniably the single most widely-wanted pokémon design for gamefreak to tackle. And by tackle people mean properly adapt, not use as partial inspiration as in Riolu or Lanturn. In any case it&#039;s an easy choice for a cool pokémon with a cute first stage, and the types fit nicely. Husky would probably work less well with the dark type but a husky-wolf line could be plausible. Snow Leopard is another easy cool idea game freak should definitely do at some point. Sabertooth is another long-awaited desgin (and Raikou doesn&#039;t really cut it, cool as he is), but you&#039;d probably expect it to be a part rock-type fossil, probably with a counterpart (another mammoth?), though I think they should revisit the non-paired fossil idea of Aerodactyl. The more fossils, the better IMO. (A little sidenote: southern france, with the Lascaux cave, is a perfect location  for pleistocene fauna pokémon. One fakemon duo I saw featured an Auroch Line and a wooly rhino line with a design based on the paintings and supposedly obtained from DNA found in the paintings... How übercool is that???) )

Inagoori: Bug/Ice
Freezing pokémon: a weta seems to be the most obvious thing to go from, as some of these Locust-like insects are known for their ability to sustain themselves in a frozen state of suspended animation for months, hence the &quot;Freezing&quot; species. Again the weta isn&#039;t unheard of in &quot;what would make a cool pokémon&quot; lists, especially for the bug/ice slot. 

Nikkoguma/Beasahi: Fire
Morning Sun Pokémon: Fire Bears, and I know I&#039;m not the only one who thinks this might be a retread of Honoguma, Gold and Silver&#039;s original fire starter, a cute little fire bear. Now that would be a genius move on game freak&#039;s part. If only they could bring out that cool tortoise pokémon, it just looks to perfect not to be a thing. These could also draw inspiration from sun bears, which would be a nice way of diversifying pokémon&#039;s growing ursid contingent.

Kanseki/Jigansen: Rock/Poison- Steel/Poison
Virus pokémon: an interesting way to integrate strange type combinations and a strange (but occasionaly suggested) idea for a pokémon. The primary type transition is strange, but not unheard of in pokémon. Personally I&#039;d be more partial to pokémon sage&#039;s electric/poison vectol and Vectol.2 which are just perfect virus pokémon (in fact a lot of ideas on this list look similar to concepts found in the pokémon sage fakemon pokédex. That&#039;s not surprising as most of their designs are pure gold and gamefreak should make them official already IMO).


Kyojishin: Ground/Fighting
Big Earthquake Pokémon: this type combination seems to be an extremely popular choice suddenly, I&#039;m not too sure why and I&#039;ve no idea what this thing could be but it certainly looks quite tantalising.

Hariasahi: Normal/Steel
Pincushion Pokémon: The species name is extremely strange, but less so if you consider Hari could come from the japanese word for hedgehog. This could be another hedgehog, a porcupine, a spiny tenrec, or even an echidna. Interesting use of an exotic type combination. I can easily see this thing being an annoying iron barbs spiky shield user.

Kumonki: Normal/Bug
Acrobat Pokémon: everything from the species name to the type and name (Kumo+Monkey) obviously says spider monkey. Hopefully this would be some sort of Ateles with enhanced arachnid features. For some reason, despite the abundance of indescribably cool ideas on this list, I&#039;ve become particularly attached to this pokémon idea and really want it to be real, much like Hawlucha back when it was first leaked and we weren&#039;t sure if it was real. I dunno the idea for this just seems perfect.

Inshinmai/Chuukishi/Meishin: Rock/Normal- /Fight -/Psychic
Unskilled/Proficient/Grandmaster Pokémon: now this is a weird one for me. Again this a concept based series of pokémon, so some unknown organism or thing  would  feature in the design. The species seem to parallel the later fighting/dragon line, but these mid-listers don&#039;t seem to be pseudo-legendaries whereas their &quot;counterparts&quot; seem like they should be. Even more confusing is the secondary type-switching going on. Going from normal to psychic or fighting makes sense, so this could be split, but the species names unmistakenly point to a complete three-stage line. Such as transition from fighting to psychic may seem weird, but to be fair it&#039;s not impossible either and it makes thematic sense. 

Haotori/Pachidori: Flying -/Electric
Humming/Static Pokémon: obviously hummingbirds, a popular fakemon idea and another &quot;easy-cool&quot; choice. Nothing much else to say, these would probably have a blistering speed stat.

Kodomorokoshi/Toumokukoshi (Tohmawkukoche): Grass 
Kernel/Chieftain Pokémon: the names suggest a corn based line, and the species suggest a warrior inspiration as well. The second stage&#039;s name and species point to a Native American inspiration, which organically goes with corn&#039;s american origins. Seems like a cool wacky concept for a grass line.

Dorahhia (Drachia) : Dragon
Majestic Pokémon: I feel really stupid for not realising this myself, but the -ia suffix obviously points to a much touted dragon-type eeveelution counterpart to sylveon. An idea that sort of says &quot;pokémon leak checklist&quot; but it&#039;s presence in a second half Kalos dex nicely balances Sylveon&#039;s presence in the the first half. I&#039;d be interested to see what gamefreak could come up with for a design. Would it look like an eastern dragon, or a western one? Or something else completely?

Piisumu/Kokonatoro: Water- /Grass
Pea crab/Coconut Crab Pokémon: yet another 6th gen decapod crustacean seems like a strange choice for a slot in the list, but with gamefreak&#039;s known trollitude I wouldn&#039;t completely write this off. A coconut crab is also a solid choice for a cool design. I like the evolutionary transition from &quot;pea&quot; to &quot;coconut&quot; too.

Kairuka/Okiruka(Orkiruka): Water/Psychic
Dolphin Pokémon: Really, a psychic type dolphin? Would game Freak ever go there? This is the single most ridiculous too good to be true instance on this list. Dolphins, and especially psychic type ones, are just the pinnacle of obvious and fan-wanted pokémon ideas. And if that wasn&#039;t enough the second evolution&#039;s name strongly suggests it&#039;s a killer whale. Come on now. But just imagine if this was actually a thing though...

Shierubu/Shierofan/Shierafu: Fairy/Flying
Angel Pokémon: An idea that has already spawned a few fakemon, and  type combination and idea that has already been used in the Toge line (though if anything that probably makes this entry more realistic). Since the names include the words &quot;Ophan&quot; and &quot;Seraph&quot;, some hope the designs might go beyond the idea of simple angels and embrace the weirdness Of Judeo-Christian celestial imagery. That would more than justify the concept repeat for me.

Gorodatsu/Ban&#039;ikingu (Vaniking): Ice/Fighting
Rogue/Barbarian Pokémon: that this line incorporates vikings is obvious both from the names, the types, and the species names. A solid concept for this type combination, this concept does exist in the fakemon fandom (tbf a colossal lot of things exist in the fakemon fandom)  but isn&#039;t overly common either.

Ryakuun/Touzokuun: Dark
Thief Pokémon: dark type thief racoons. I&#039;ve seen this before. Multiple times. It&#039;s nothing new really. That being said, the fact we have already have raccoon-like pokémon in Zigzagoon and Linoone doesn&#039;t preclude a new set of raccoons at all, knowing game freaks penchant for repeating pokémon base ideas (which in my view is fine, as in the real world most animals come in multiple species). That being said, this idea being both a) a perfect fit and b) popular in the fandom makes it unlikely to be true.

Shin&#039;in/Infu/Jinron: Fighting- - /Dragon
Novice/Apprentice/Master Pokémon:  to be fair this is both a creative and neat concept for what seems to be a pseudo-legendary, with the highly skilled fighter becoming a &quot;dragon&quot;, a known eastern trope. It just seems a bit too cool to be true though, we&#039;d probably end up with something wacky like goodra as a pseudo instead (though to be fair we did get hydrreigon and garchomp, so you never know).

Byooji/Funzai/Joorai: Ghost/Rock- /Steel - 
Time Pokémon: clock pokémon seem to be the original ghost/steel type idea for fans (with haunted suits of armour obviously). But instead we got cool swords. Clock fakémon are quite common, and most suggest, in line with these fakes, that the final stage here would probably be a grandfather clock. This list though has the merit of starting the line with what seems to be a sundial, a much rarer idea. I&#039;ve always wanted a clock pokémon, and I love having a little diversity on the Pseudo-Legendary front à la gen 3 (this should definitely be more of a thing). This would be really neat if it was true.

Aibyoushi: Normal/Ghost
Quantum Pokémon: IMO these are the coolest legendary concepts I have ever seen. This physics-trio is pure genius. To start with, this pokémon is obviously based on Schrödinger&#039;s thought experiment that became the popular understanding of quantum objects. In the list creator&#039;s mind, it was probably a cat. If game freak made this pokémon, I really hope it would be a weird cat. (Why not even add some Cheshire cat in there while you&#039;re at it). Not doing this would be a wasted opportunity. In any case the concept is cool and the typing is perfect. It has been suggested this pokémon could phase in and out of reality. That could be a really cool battle gimmick.

Jouhooru: Dark/Psychic
Singularity Pokémon: this is pretty much definitely a black hole pokémon. (I&#039;m still waiting for a proper sun-based pokémon in the first place, but I&#039;ll take this ;) ) The contrarion nature of Inkay and Malamar show how gamefreak perceives this type combination to be paradoxical, and it fits nicely. I&#039;d be eager to see what it could look like. It could have a weird ability and/ or signature move as well.

Kanshioni: Fire/Ice
Thermodynamic Pokémon: Another neat idea that completes the trio perfectly, though in my mind it&#039;s a little less cool. I have no idea what this could look like or what the type combination could yield, but I&#039;m certainly intrigued. It too would probably have it&#039;s own strange ability/signature move.

Magearna (Magiana): Steel/Fairy
Manmade pokémon: The only new thing here is the type, and this is the safe bet everyone was expecting. People have been underlining how  it&#039;s name and species are &quot;incorrect&quot; on some versions of the list, but as I understand it both translations/romanisations are acceptable for each.


Verdict: 

Whoever made this not only has impressive inspiration, but also has a clear wide knowledge of common fakemon concepts and highly-demanded pokémon ideas, and of  Japanese folklore. However the apparent awkwardness of the names and how they&#039;re built seems to be a giveaway of phonyness. Too bad because a lot of highly skilled work and research went into this.

I can&#039;t stress how perfect this list seems to be, there doesn&#039;t seem to be a single dud on it. And game freak don&#039;t really work like that. I think it tells that the idea I like the least of this list is Magearna, which despite the tantalising  suggestions of it&#039;s species name I personally find to be a bit dissapointing and uninteresting in practice. And that happens to be the only true pokémon here...

I mean come on, we  have an impossibly cool set of legendaries, loads of widely-wanted pokémon ideas and type combinations... We have  hummingbird, raccoon thief, and  snowy owl lines. There are fighting/dragon, grass/fire and normal/ghost pokémon on here.  The fact that both a dolphin and very probably a wolf are on this list really doesn&#039;t help. It&#039;s all just way too good to be true. I think game freak just wouldn&#039;t deliver many of those in the first place, let alone all of them together and in a doubtful gen 6.5...

It hurts how good this is because it&#039;s just never gonna happen. I&#039;d like to think we can yet be pleasantly surprised, but I&#039;m keeping my hope down. The 27th can&#039;t come soon enough.]]></description>

komodo dragons, spiny desert lizards, or other squamates.</p>

Husky would probably work less well with the dark type but a husky-wolf line could be plausible. Snow Leopard is another easy cool idea game freak should definitely do at some point. Sabertooth is another long-awaited desgin (and Raikou doesn&#8217;t really cut it, cool as he is), but you&#8217;d probably expect it to be a part rock-type fossil, probably with a counterpart (another mammoth?), though I think they should revisit the non-paired fossil idea of Aerodactyl. The more fossils, the better IMO. (A little sidenote: southern france, with the Lascaux cave, is a perfect location  for pleistocene fauna pokémon. One fakemon duo I saw featured an Auroch Line and a wooly rhino line with a design based on the paintings and supposedly obtained from DNA found in the paintings&#8230; How übercool is that???) )</p>

Now that would be a genius move on game freak&#8217;s part. If only they could bring out that cool tortoise pokémon, it just looks to perfect not to be a thing.

<p>Inshinmai/Chuukishi/Meishin: Rock/Normal- /Fight -/Psychic<br />
Unskilled/Proficient/Grandmaster Pokémon: now this is a weird one for me. Again this a concept based series of pokémon, so some unknown organism or thing  would  feature in the design. The species seem to parallel the later fighting/dragon line, but these mid-listers don&#8217;t seem to be pseudo-legendaries whereas their &#8220;counterparts&#8221; seem like they should be. Even more confusing is the secondary type-switching going on. Going from normal to psychic or fighting makes sense, so this could be split, but the species names unmistakenly point to a complete three-stage line. Such as transition from fighting to psychic may seem weird, but to be fair it&#8217;s not impossible either and it makes thematic sense. </p>
<p>Haotori/Pachidori: Flying -/Electric<br />
Humming/Static Pokémon: obviously hummingbirds, a popular fakemon idea and another &#8220;easy-cool&#8221; choice. Nothing much else to say, these would probably have a blistering speed stat.</p>
<p>Kodomorokoshi/Toumokukoshi (Tohmawkukoche): Grass<br />
Kernel/Chieftain Pokémon: the names suggest a corn based line, and the species suggest a warrior inspiration as well. The second stage&#8217;s name and species point to a Native American inspiration, which organically goes with corn&#8217;s american origins. Seems like a cool wacky concept for a grass line.</p>
<p>Dorahhia (Drachia) : Dragon<br />
Majestic Pokémon: I feel really stupid for not realising this myself, but the -ia suffix obviously points to a much touted dragon-type eeveelution counterpart to sylveon. An idea that sort of says &#8220;pokémon leak checklist&#8221; but it&#8217;s presence in a second half Kalos dex nicely balances Sylveon&#8217;s presence in the the first half. I&#8217;d be interested to see what gamefreak could come up with for a design. Would it look like an eastern dragon, or a western one? Or something else completely?</p>
<p>Piisumu/Kokonatoro: Water- /Grass<br />
Pea crab/Coconut Crab Pokémon: yet another 6th gen decapod crustacean seems like a strange choice for a slot in the list, but with gamefreak&#8217;s known trollitude I wouldn&#8217;t completely write this off. A coconut crab is also a solid choice for a cool design. I like the evolutionary transition from &#8220;pea&#8221; to &#8220;coconut&#8221; too.</p>
<p>Kairuka/Okiruka(Orkiruka): Water/Psychic<br />
Dolphin Pokémon: Really, a psychic type dolphin? Would game Freak ever go there? This is the single most ridiculous too good to be true instance on this list. Dolphins, and especially psychic type ones, are just the pinnacle of obvious and fan-wanted pokémon ideas. And if that wasn&#8217;t enough the second evolution&#8217;s name strongly suggests it&#8217;s a killer whale. Come on now. But just imagine if this was actually a thing though&#8230;</p>
<p>Shierubu/Shierofan/Shierafu: Fairy/Flying<br />
Angel Pokémon: An idea that has already spawned a few fakemon, and  type combination and idea that has already been used in the Toge line (though if anything that probably makes this entry more realistic). Since the names include the words &#8220;Ophan&#8221; and &#8220;Seraph&#8221;, some hope the designs might go beyond the idea of simple angels and embrace the weirdness Of Judeo-Christian celestial imagery. That would more than justify the concept repeat for me.</p>
<p>Gorodatsu/Ban&#8217;ikingu (Vaniking): Ice/Fighting<br />
Rogue/Barbarian Pokémon: that this line incorporates vikings is obvious both from the names, the types, and the species names. A solid concept for this type combination, this concept does exist in the fakemon fandom (tbf a colossal lot of things exist in the fakemon fandom)  but isn&#8217;t overly common either.</p>
<p>Ryakuun/Touzokuun: Dark<br />
Thief Pokémon: dark type thief racoons. I&#8217;ve seen this before. Multiple times. It&#8217;s nothing new really. That being said, the fact we have already have raccoon-like pokémon in Zigzagoon and Linoone doesn&#8217;t preclude a new set of raccoons at all, knowing game freaks penchant for repeating pokémon base ideas (which in my view is fine, as in the real world most animals come in multiple species). That being said, this idea being both a) a perfect fit and b) popular in the fandom makes it unlikely to be true.</p>
<p>Shin&#8217;in/Infu/Jinron: Fighting- &#8211; /Dragon<br />
Novice/Apprentice/Master Pokémon:  to be fair this is both a creative and neat concept for what seems to be a pseudo-legendary, with the highly skilled fighter becoming a &#8220;dragon&#8221;, a known eastern trope. It just seems a bit too cool to be true though, we&#8217;d probably end up with something wacky like goodra as a pseudo instead (though to be fair we did get hydrreigon and garchomp, so you never know).</p>
<p>Byooji/Funzai/Joorai: Ghost/Rock- /Steel &#8211;<br />
Time Pokémon: clock pokémon seem to be the original ghost/steel type idea for fans (with haunted suits of armour obviously). But instead we got cool swords. Clock fakémon are quite common, and most suggest, in line with these fakes, that the final stage here would probably be a grandfather clock. This list though has the merit of starting the line with what seems to be a sundial, a much rarer idea. I&#8217;ve always wanted a clock pokémon, and I love having a little diversity on the Pseudo-Legendary front à la gen 3 (this should definitely be more of a thing). This would be really neat if it was true.</p>
<p>Aibyoushi: Normal/Ghost<br />
Quantum Pokémon: IMO these are the coolest legendary concepts I have ever seen. This physics-trio is pure genius. To start with, this pokémon is obviously based on Schrödinger&#8217;s thought experiment that became the popular understanding of quantum objects. In the list creator&#8217;s mind, it was probably a cat. If game freak made this pokémon, I really hope it would be a weird cat. (Why not even add some Cheshire cat in there while you&#8217;re at it). Not doing this would be a wasted opportunity. In any case the concept is cool and the typing is perfect. It has been suggested this pokémon could phase in and out of reality. That could be a really cool battle gimmick.</p>
<p>Jouhooru: Dark/Psychic<br />
Singularity Pokémon: this is pretty much definitely a black hole pokémon. (I&#8217;m still waiting for a proper sun-based pokémon in the first place, but I&#8217;ll take this 😉 ) The contrarion nature of Inkay and Malamar show how gamefreak perceives this type combination to be paradoxical, and it fits nicely. I&#8217;d be eager to see what it could look like. It could have a weird ability and/ or signature move as well.</p>
<p>Kanshioni: Fire/Ice<br />
Thermodynamic Pokémon: Another neat idea that completes the trio perfectly, though in my mind it&#8217;s a little less cool. I have no idea what this could look like or what the type combination could yield, but I&#8217;m certainly intrigued. It too would probably have it&#8217;s own strange ability/signature move.</p>
<p>Magearna (Magiana): Steel/Fairy<br />
Manmade pokémon: The only new thing here is the type, and this is the safe bet everyone was expecting. People have been underlining how  it&#8217;s name and species are &#8220;incorrect&#8221; on some versions of the list, but as I understand it both translations/romanisations are acceptable for each.</p>
<p>Verdict: </p>
<p>Whoever made this not only has impressive inspiration, but also has a clear wide knowledge of common fakemon concepts and highly-demanded pokémon ideas, and of  Japanese folklore. However the apparent awkwardness of the names and how they&#8217;re built seems to be a giveaway of phonyness. Too bad because a lot of highly skilled work and research went into this.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t stress how perfect this list seems to be, there doesn&#8217;t seem to be a single dud on it. And game freak don&#8217;t really work like that. I think it tells that the idea I like the least of this list is Magearna, which despite the tantalising  suggestions of it&#8217;s species name I personally find to be a bit dissapointing and uninteresting in practice. And that happens to be the only true pokémon here&#8230;</p>
<p>I mean come on, we  have an impossibly cool set of legendaries, loads of widely-wanted pokémon ideas and type combinations&#8230; We have  hummingbird, raccoon thief, and  snowy owl lines. There are fighting/dragon, grass/fire and normal/ghost pokémon on here.  The fact that both a dolphin and very probably a wolf are on this list really doesn&#8217;t help. It&#8217;s all just way too good to be true. I think game freak just wouldn&#8217;t deliver many of those in the first place, let alone all of them together and in a doubtful gen 6.5&#8230;</p>
<p>It hurts how good this is because it&#8217;s just never gonna happen. I&#8217;d like to think we can yet be pleasantly surprised, but I&#8217;m keeping my hope down. The 27th can&#8217;t come soon enough.</p>

Yeah it is a shame because the ideas and typo combos looked good.
But not all hope is lost! There could still be a gen 6.5, just not this list!

This is interesting. I think the game will be called Pokemon AZ also. I&#039;m hype for this to be legit. An expanded Kalos would be amazing!]]></description>
