We CANNOT confirm these images and we also encourage readers to assume things are fake until proven otherwise but I’m sharing these because it is reminiscent of the anime leaks which occurred in Gen V, but then again it also looks like fan art.
There are no names listed for the Pokémon (just Owl 3, Tiger 3, …) but there are some details about each (including color palette):
Rowlet evolution:
- Stores arrows in its wings (orange tips), uses the vines from its bow as the string
- “Hood” closes around its face when it is unhappy
Litten evolution:
- New attack or fighting style “tiger swing”
- Fire attacks come from belt
Popplio evolution:
- Attack seems to be listed but too hard to read
You be the judge:
Thanks Crystal Creatures for the heads up.

ps- this was Noivern’s reference art for the anime in Gen V for comparison

A quite interesting.
Yeah, these are certainly interesting. Fake or not, dig how Rowlet turns out quite a bit. Even like Popplio. Litten, though. Litten, man. Litten. Stop this.
Fake, end of story
Fire/Fighting? 😐
Interesting but GF wouldn’t make a starter so feminine looking
and why not? we already have a few starter pokemon with feminine attributes so I don’t get what you’re saying…?
Thank you. Totally agree with this and there’s nothing wrong with having a “feminine” starter
Well because starters have been mostly ambiguous. Even ones like the chikorita and fennekin line could be seen as male.
yeah they can be both male and female, all starters can, its not like we have to enforce gender stereotypes on pokemon… or anything really. My point was really just that there is nothing wrong with a starter pokemon having a design that can be perceived as feminine. Its hard sometimes to put what you’re trying to say into type, but i think we’re on the same page here thatoneguychris at least about the starters?
ummm…. delphox?bayleef?serperior?
I would fucking hope not.
Woah, thanks for the credit. as a fan of this site it means a lot to know i’m part of it, in some way.
As for them looking like fan art, i could not disagree more, the amout of thought put into them is incredible and i have never seen fan art looking this close to the official one. As an artist i have been hours looking pokemon art and fan art so yeah… The only thing is it seems too early to get leaks like this, and it’s not even blurry or something like that
Also now that i made a disqus account, i can comment more often. Yay
I’m surprised some people are reacting negatively to this. I certainly would not be disappointed by ANY of these if these happen to be real!
Fan art wise, they’re great. If they were real, they’d be trash. The Popplio Evo is creepy, the Litten is cool but looks like in belongs in one of those mobile pokemon ripoff games, and the Rowlet gives me Yu-Gi-Oh vibes.
Trash? And why is Popplio evo creepy?? It’s a freaking mermaid pokemon. It’s gorgeous!
I guess this is an opinion thing, so I’ll let you hate them. But I love them. I wouldn’t be sad at all.
The one that really turns me off is the Popplio. It doesn’t look like a Popplio evolution. I don’t see a clown/acrobatic seal evolving into a mermaid. However I would love a similar design for a Dewgong Evo or Mega. I think that’s what it makes me think of.
well circuses are know for featuring weird people and fantasy, i don’t see why a mermaid wouldn’t be part of one
YES! And not only that, if you look at most of the final evos and their starting forms, a lot of them don’t look like they match. But I get a definite popplio vibe from the mermaid either way. We have no clue what the middle evo looks like to turn into that.
I honestly think that people want to think these are fake. But they are the most legit looking leaks i have ever seen in pokemon. And i’m not saying it’s real cause i don’t know but their designs are very, very professional and the artwork is clean as f*ck
Almost toooo clean….
lol no
i AGREE
I really wanted these designs. They look so good. I dont really buy the litten one, it seems off to me.
The Litten looks great. The Popplio looks too much like a trashed Oshawott/Dewott concept.
:/ these designs are so boring n basic tho
That Litten evo was just a trace off of Espeon.
I don’t want this to be real just because Litten seems like a Fire/Fighting.
Tea? More like water. these evolution looks so bad and fake.
Girl this isn’t even water, these are dried used tea bags
I really like them all – I’d be pleased if they were real. Hopefully the fire starter isn’t a fighting type -_-
Bojingles??
In the flesh!
pLEASE!! NO MORE FIRE/FIGHTING STARTERS I BEG-
these better be fake they are trash
Looks similar to this image: http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1465095960685.png. I’m guessing it’s the same artist trying to fool everyone again.
i know who made this and i know for a fact he didn’t made the alola starter evos
What’s the artist’s name?
zerudez
Fug
ey dat me!
also, the evos for the kalos starters he made were very simple and predictable, and i knew from the first second i saw them they were done by him, i can recognize the way he draws and the kind of designs he makes. not bashing him btw he makes cool stuff
DEATH at the creator basically copying and pasting kyuubimon!
Nope, it doesn’t look the same. Totally different art style, you can tell.
THANK YOU
Also, no ‘Confidential’ sticker.
ok this was soooo bad and i regret making it lmao
Fake.
I just don’t want my little nugget owl to turn into that digimon tbh… Litten was never even on the table for me so I couldn’t care less about it. But if these are real I won’t be too upset because that Popplio is very pretty and would make an acceptable substitute. Not the first time that the finals have made me change what starter I wanted *cough* Oshawatt *cough*
Lol no they all look hideous. I would box my starter if these were real. Especially litten and popplio
You don’t like KING Rowlet fake evoultion? I love it
King or queen
they all are fabulous you all haters
Sjjssjsj the rowlet evolution is so cool! A archer bird that can shoot feather arrows! Let me Stan KING Rowlet now.
I don’t know..I feel as if they’re just fan art. Part of what gives it away to me is how they’re very gendered. Most starters look either gender neutral, or more masculine. And if they look more feminine, it starts with the first evolution, which I don’t see popplio looking very feminine. Cool ideas though
The Rowlet fake evo reminds me of shurimon from digimon. I would love for that to be a real pokemon! The others… Delete it fat!
@Demi at these fake evos
http://cdn.skim.gs/image/upload/v1456341977/msi/demi-snap2_hgp06a.jpg
These all look fake. I really hope they are because they’re very ugly. Especially Litten’s Evolution line. It seems like someone making a joke.
I’m in love with the final Popplio and Rowlet evos, but Litten becomes the very definition of “furbait”.
Agree with this. I think Popplio and Rowlet look very good. Litten is borderline offensive. Why would we want a second wrestling Fire starter. Who thought of this. Why.
I believe these 100%. They are too “calculated”, if you get what I mean. No fan artist in the world can emulate Game Freak’s style as if they worked for them. Even if they did use the Noivern sheet as reference, there is no WAY the art style could replicated. #TeamReal. I’m almost certainly wrong, but something about this case is unique in my eyes.
finally someone who is not blind
The artist I think is doing this just in time for E3 to catch our guards down. Because the Noivern sheet was shown at E3 2013 at the roundtable. I think they’re using it as a base and are just really good artists and are fooling a lot of people. If these evolutions are real, especially Litten’s, I will choke Junichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori and ask them what the hell is wrong with them.
tea and tea only

an artist who is so smart and talented to make this ”fakes” by himself is gonna think it seems logic for gamefreak to reveal the starters final evos like this at e3? lol NO
It’s tradition for them to reveal the Final Evolutions and Middle Evolutions a month or two before release, NOT at E3!
It’s not really tradition at all, they only just did that for X & Y.
Try harder. This leak is soo IT! i bet my ass on it!
The thing is, they didn’t stop at design like other artists. They went far enough to establish a “gimmick” for each of them, one that is very reminiscent of previous Game Freak behavior. These layers are unheard of in fakes, such as the fake Fennekin evo posted below.
I just pray they’re fake. Please. These would be the worst starters ever in the history of the Starters if so and the only one I can even look at without barfing is Popplio’s final evo.
Fuckoff, you just cant appreciate good designs. You just want WHAT YOU WANT.
but just because of the fact it hasnt been done before, doesnt mean it couldnt be fake.
except, the leak happened before they revealed that Female character with the Flower that is shown in the Litten Final evo picture. There is no way a Fan artist could have known she would be revealed.
You’ve never seen Tomycase’s artwork then.
http://tomycase.deviantart.com/gallery/38023149/Pokemon
This guy does Ken Sugimori’s style better than Ken Sugimori himself, at times.
lol? NO
I can’t see game freak’s style here. Those artwork are totally fake
I believe this too. look at panthster the litten evo. there is an art where he is sleeping and theres a kettle in his fire belt and ash and i think his region companion (girl) is waiting for the water to boil, that girl has an alolang accent with a flower in her ear. The color hue and combo also is very lit bet the three, no similar color or hue of green from other starters,blue also and red. it gamefreaks pattern not to copy collor hues from region starters before them.
http://literallyeverythingandmemes.tumblr.com/image/147055777638 see this bruh #teamreal
I pray they r real I luv poppies final evo!!!!!!
I agree, there’s too much evidences to prove that they are real.
I mean take a look at what I’ve found out about them.
http://shironakarius.deviantart.com/art/Sun-and-Moon-Final-Evolution-Proving-622850889
You were right!
Note: The Noivern Concept Art did not came from the anime nor did it came from Gen V. Noivern debuted in Gen VI and this particular artwork came from this video.
