FAKE: Could the Gen VIII Starters Have Leaked?!

by

IMPORTANT UPDATE: These have now been CONFIRMED FAKE as the artist has been found! They came out in a Facebook post. It’s unfortunate that these weren’t real… but let’s just hope that Game Freak manages to do even better!

These were posted anonymously, there are some concerns about the Japanese, but mostly pedantic discussion of hiragana vs katakana use. Most likely fake.

These do not come with names, but it appears as though we have a Grass-type Lemur, a Fire-type Rabbit and a Water-type Platypus!

Guess we’ll have to wait for more details to see if these are real or not! What are your initial impressions?!

  1. FUS RO DEER!
    I AM DEERLINGBORN, I SLAY THE DRAGONS OF THE POKEMON WORLD WITH MY VOICE!!!
    I AM SO SERIOUS DEERIOUS RIGHT NOW, I CAN FEEL MY RATHER WEIGHTY PLOTCHEEKS CLENCH TOGETHER IN BITTER APPROVAL! YUP!

    That’s my impression of a braver me who truly wishes this place was more peaceful and happy…

  3. Ok, i read back my reply to star that i posted yesterday and i saw below that she left so I would just like to address some things. First of all, I am not here to make an enemy out of anyone, but somehow I feel like this always ends up being the case every time I decide to come back and post here on the main site. The reason I posted a reply to her was because I felt like the day before she was targeting me to the point where I was defensive for some reason and got no explanation. I feel like I went all out in that post to her and I regret it. I should’ve just kept my opinion to myself. I offended her posting by saying that people should talk about the fake pokemon however they want but in doing so I was not allowing her to post her opinion and what she thinks. And I am truly sorry for this. I think I have been the person who always expresses unpopular opinion as many of you know considering I expressed a big disapproval of sun and moon and USUM as well as those who really want gen 4 remakes to the point where they spam it online. I have expressed this a lot here and the truth is, I was in the same boat as star. I think a lot of things we shared a common opinion on. Once again, I am not here to make enemies and I’m not here to shut down anything anyone else has to say. I am sorry for my negativity. I can say that I will probably not show up here anymore. I might lurk but I will not be posting anymore. For those who don’t know, I haven’t posted in the discord server in over a month for reasons both irl and the fact that I feel like I have had enough of the nonsense. I plan soon to leave the server officially because I have not posted there in some time and I refuse to continue to. Because I am leaving there, I feel like I should just leave here as well. Pokemon isn’t exactly on my mind right now and with my hopes for the year, it’s definitely not at the top of what I want or care for. So again, I apologize to you guys if anything I have said offended or came off as shutting you down. I am sorry and am truly sorry to star. I did not mean to make her leave if I am the reason she did so, that was not my intention and not at all what I wanted. So yeah, maybe in the future I will come back to discuss real information whenever we get it. If anyone still talks to star in any way, I would really appreciate if someone could relay this to her if possible. Thanks and again, I am sorry.

    TLDR: bye for now, tell star queen im sorry

  6. Oddly enough…I actually had an idea for a starter based on a rabbit as well (It’s being worked on by an artist contact of mine)
