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

Here’s hoping the lemur becomes grass/bug and evolves into a literal spider monkey. 😀
I can only see the lemur being Normal or Psychic Nothing else.
Oh yeah? Why’s that?
It seems pretty fragile kinda psychish…but really there’s nothing in its design that suggests other types rather that normal or psychic imo (maybe evn dark, but can’t really see it)
I can see that, but then nothing in Rowlet’s design suggested ghost either. 😉 They have been a little more creative with typings recently.
To be fair they hinted it in the dex entry
I think that’s arguably just hindsight talking as flying silently to sneak up on prey doesn’t definitively point to ghost, if that’s what you are referring to. But nevertheless, as we only have visual design to go on now, I maintain that Rowlet’s design doesn’t say “ghost.”
Omggg a bug starter GIVE IT TO ME NOWWWWWWWWWWWWW
And a bug eeveelution, please and thank you.
YES YES YES YES YES YES
Cheeky info dump in 7 days, you heard it here first.
how do you know?
Pokemon Day is the 27th and also 22nd anniversary of the franchise. Dont have any source or proof, just gut feeling.
We getting lemur
Actually I heard it on Serebii, /vp/, Bulbapedia, from my friends. Everyone and their mother thinks Pokemon Day might have something.
The typings I want them to become:
Grass/Normal
Fire/Fairy
Water/Poison (I guess)
The typings I predict they’ll become:
Grass/Psychic
Fire/Steel
Water/Poison
Grass/Normal what are you smoking
I just want a starter to become normal
Why? That’s so boring.
You’re proving my point! People think normal is a boring type, GF needs to show off what normal can add to a mon!
Which is nothing to a starter, GF has made many great normal Pkms already so they don’t need to make a point with nay starter really
My concept is a grass ape starter that gets more human like as it evolves, it gains normal type. It becomes more like us, it becomes more normal.
Ew.
Im still waiting on fire/fairy, fire/electric, or fire/ice. I mostly choose the fire starter. The water poison i can definitely see
Water/Poison makes sense but GF likes to throw curve balls at us, like people speculated that Litten would become part poison type
i never heard that for litten, i remember fire/dark or fire/fighting
I remember it. The art sheets mentioned something about it spitting poison, iirc.
I did, like people speculated that because it spits like some poison stuff
If the grass one is normal then it’s normal since the beginning. I can’t see it “becoming” normal.
here we go again…. can we please stay off 4chan? I used to love these sort of posts for speculation but now it’s getting crazy. Not everything is real and “leaked”
Which is precisely why there’s large red text saying it’s rumor and speculation.
No, i get that. But what I’m saying is its not fun anymore.
it is for most of us
Cumon, its a dry season.. We need SOMETHING to look forward too
I will say this tho, that platypus is adorable and if you choose that and not name it perry the platypus youre crazy
I won’t (if it’s real and i choose it), i’ll be more original
I don’t nickname pokemon myself, but someone somewhere will name it Perry, or Agent P
Original =/= good
if they are fake, i will say that the artist definitely chose some cool animals. the lemur idea could be great but the design is a little odd for me. then a platypus and a rabbit, very nice
The actual these starters will get
Grass/Light
Fire/Fighting
Water/Plastic
*snickers* Water/Plastic
What about rubber Thor
Type why did that translate to thir
These types suck, where’s my sound type GF?
I also want to say how funny I find it that we think these could be legit because the Japanese is right. lol that doesn’t really say much. This artist knows Japanese while the previous leaks didn’t, it could be as simple as that
Don’t be a negative nancy, learning that they’re fake is half of the fun
Personally, it’s a combination of elements that leads me to belive the possibility is there and the Japanese doesn’t play into it at all

Well said, good sir
Honestly I love discussing possible leaks. Gives us something to do when news is slow. That said if these end up being fake I will actually be upset 😂 have wanted a water platypus for a while now so a dream will be crushed 🤣
If these are real, I’m going to be upset. Mostly because I want a bug starter and I doubt GF is going to follow through on my spider monkey idea. 🙂 These are extremely cute starters, though.
Your Spider monkey idea would be interesting. And not sure if they would ever do a big starter. Maybe a water scorpion or something?
A water scorpion would be be pretty cool.
I just want the lemur to stay gangly as it evolves and have too many arms. Sadly, Grass/Bug is a terrible typing.
Between these and the last ‘leaks’ what do you prefer for
The Grass starter (Lemur vs Whatever that was)
The Fire starter (Rabbit vs Goat)
The Water starter (Platypus vs Coral)
I prefer these overall, but I’ll admit that the coral was a pretty original idea. Not something I would have come up with for a starter.
All of these lol loved the other three but these are just too good!
#LemurRights
Lemurs are disgusting, we should build a Stakataka Stak to keep them out of our country
Woah that’s dark
#Rabbitsmattermore
KUPPO DO NOT START
How about
NO
Ey brother
My squad is here
#AllStarterRights
Chespin – Tough
Fennekin – Feminine
Froakie – Cool
Rowlet – Cool
Litten – Tough
Popplio – Feminine
Lemur – Feminine
Rabbit – Cool
Platypus – Tough
How would you feel
Okay actually, I’d Like that
A feminine Lemur deeply scares me
But f yes for the rabbit being cool
I don’t believe them because they are in the same style of last fake news. It feels like they are just showcasing their fan ideas and those ideas are cool actually! Maybe, they thought that they should pay more attention to Japanese but there are still concerns lol
I mean, they are similar to the alolan starter leaks…
One of my points towards legitimacy as well. The last round of Gen 8 leaks did not follow the same style of art concept sheet.
And as much as I loved the water starter, it just didn’t seem like a starter Pokemon to me. Also those sheets were pretty empty compared to these
I still believe alolan starters are fake
Hahahahaahaha
WHAT!
While I recognize that you are joking, this response wouldn’t surprise me. I was called all manner of names for thinking the Alolan starter leaks were real.
That makes me think they’re fake. To try to appear real, the leakers would try to imitate the last legitimate leak.
The only thing make me think those r fake is this “Confidential” icon.
So this is where everyone went
Why didn’t you say new article
Because it’s kind of obvious when you should check for a new article?
I am at work
I fail to see how it’s relevant. If you can loiter in the last article you could’ve just as easily pressed back space and refresh
Maybe I didn’t think about refreshing at the time
Absolutely not relevant. I am also at work.

Thanks for the critique uwu

Platyplet
They’re terrible
You’re terrible
I know!
You too for making them uwu
Yeah, right?
Oh boy, I already feel like no matter what we’ll get, starters will start with proper animals with animal body and they will evolve into humanoid characters with animal features. That is the recent trend. Please change this trend. Please let them stay animals. Let’s go back to basics like in Gen 2. Please Gamefreak. I beg. Make them animals. Not humans. Make Pokemon great again.
I don’t think you can consider the second iteration ‘basics’. Gen 1 set the precedent for anthropomorphised starters. And Feraligator wasn’t just a quadrapedal croc, either.
Bipdeal =/= Anthro. Ferligatr, Typhlosion, Charizard, and Blastoise stand on two legs, but have very little human traits.
The Gen 6 and 7 starters have very humanoid traits and could all pass for fursonas
Prima can’t..
Its Rule34 hits say otherwise
Do they make it have 2 legs? If so they aren’t faithful to the original design andwhydoyouknowaboutprimar34omg
They make the tail into a skirt. Furries don’t have tails but that doesn’t stop them putting it on their… creations.
NO EXCEPTIONS
I think that’s arguable, but I see your point.
I agree with @detoxic:disqus and I examplified Gen 2 because for me they have the simplest designs in terms of creating Pokemon starters, they are the most animal-like. And for me Gen 1 is the starting point, and Gen 2 is the start of iteration.
It doesn’t matter as long as they’re good designs
If they’re all good designs, they can still get boring af if they’re repeated too much.
I mean the only trend I wish would die is perfect first stage fire starters and garbage final stages
I wish you’d acquire some taste but we can’t all get what we want 👀
They aren’t being rn, trust me 😉
I have an urge to make a Flying Fakemon but I cannot decide on a direction
Some kinda flying propeller/gyro thing
A Skydra (three headed serpent with weather powers
Or a creature that is the exact opposite of a sky faring creature like a winged whale but not so cliche
The Fakemon Discord can help with this
Berring
Rabblitz
Quakwa
So bad they’re mediocre
Pls no more. For each bad name prediction I lose 4 years of my life span u-u
I love these designs so much. ): I really want a fire rabbit starter! I know they’re fake but damn am I hoping for something similar for gen 8.
Varecarine (Varecia + nectarine)
Leporignite (Leporidae + ignite)
Perry
Fake until proven real my dudes
What about some kinda mix of a sea turtle and a bird?
Like four long broad flippers that can fly with a flat shell, and its turtle beak are more avian
But they are Psychic/Flying
I don’t know, ask the Fakemon Discord instead of making posts nobody replies to
Well how do you know if nobody will reply to them? Just assuming that
Tell me the last time any Fakemon got good criticism on here.
Oh wait.
Never.
It’s all ‘Oh I like it’, or when somebody does get criticism the maker gets defensive.
Also, everyone who does comment on Fakemons regularly is pretty much on the discord lol
It’s barely activ
Because none of you use it and continue to post here. Its your own fault lol
Because everyone is here, ergo more people see it and can offer a opinion if so choose
Everyone who actually cares about Fakemon is on that sever. It’s a self caused failure because y’all thing people care about your barely developed Fakemon
Barely developed? I give the whole works
Name, species, type, abilities, physiology, BST, learnset, and dex entry
Compared to realmons? They’re totally virgins to GameFreak’s chads
Yeah, Fairy’s right. If you post to the discord everyone that cares can see it and it keeps this place clean
So like what 2 people
More than the average here

Actually 9 people… Also you would get more feedback there then here
I have nothing but doubts
That’s your problem… You would get feedback about the fakemon and not just “not here earthen”
I just feel it’s a ploy to get rid of me here
Its a ploy to get rid of the walls of fakemon texts here… not you
*not you*
I’m going with:
Zabumafruit
Cindertailla
G’duckbill
I like all except for the water one
Yeah…I couldn’t come up with a good Australian pun. :S
