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?!
Ugh this fighting has me in a unhappy mind set
Other than I have to get back to class, I’m just moving to the discord for awhile. So if you need me I’ll be over there.
Wait, did you see the new pokemon mega construx revealed?
I did not what did they reveal?
A lot.
-Mewtwo & Mew
-Togetic,
-Dragonite,
-Venusaur & Beedril (though no pics for them)
-Series 5 pokeballs with Caterpie, Chinchou, Pidgey, Bellsprout, Charmander, and Marill
-Series 6 pokeballs with Salandit, Pikipek, Larvitar, Pichu, Togedemaru, and Wurmple
I think that’s it?
That’s a nice set can’t wait for Togedemaru toy
Personally excited for venusaur and beedril. Mewtwo looks pretty good so I’ll get that one-plus I love Mew. Dragonite looks sketchy. Not sure about that one. Not a big fan of dragonite anyway
see ya there!
I’ve changed my mind… I can’t leave the Jungle… it’s become second nature for me to come here
yay!
fake as hell but i wouldn’t mind choosing honestly any of them. they all look great…..shit, i wish this was real but it isn’t sadly.
With all these fake leaks being posted, you’d think we should just have a Fakemon showcase?
definitely
Sorry to cause such a commotion y’all! We need to get better about this. We are on a site that posts leaks, rumors, and more. This is about the only site I know of that does that. Why are we as a community so bad at talking about them!?
If people want pure facts, go to Serebii forums. Otherwise, let’s get along and have fun!
Speculation is fun when you refrain from over-investing in the legitimacy of your opinions. Personally I love all the theory crafting that goes in to imagining what the next generation will bring and leaks like the above are impressive if only for the degree of work that goes into them. I think some people just crave disappointment and build themselves up for it. Be zen friends…
Exactly. Going extreme in either direction will not end well.
Has anyone here ever randomly encountered a shiny legendary?
Nope. I did soft reset for a shiny Virizion for six months ( I have horrible RNG luck). It’s the only shiny legend I’ve found so far.
Ive got Cresselia, Blacephalon, and Poipole. Working on Stakataka right now. Hope to do Suicune and Raikou, but I have a lot of trouble with the wormholes. I cant seem to find them
Yes, in Soul Silver with Lugia.
WOW LUCKY!!!
That’s pretty awesome
That’s awesome!!!!
That’s luck right here
Never have. Never will
No, best I’ve had is Gulpin and Weedle
Stolen meme
I don’t support pedophilia

Delet this
Oh, looks like alot of comments weren’t showing up for me again. After exiting and coming back I now see the arguments. I think they should be put to rest now. They seem to stem from everyones’ need to be right, whichever side they are on. If we all did as I believe we should and remain cautious about all rumours instead of automatically fully investing in them being real or outright fake and just calmly discussed them as designs and possibilities we’d all have an easier and more pleasant time. Attacking others, especially on a personal level, for their opinions either way is unnecessary.
Once again you put it perfectly. I will always remain on the fence about these kind of thing. Some people may think it’s stupid that I do that but I made the mistake of calling something 100 percent fake twice already. The gen 5 starter evos and the gen 7 starter evos as well. I refuse to that again. If a possible leak comes and it’s real awesome. If not whatever it happens sometimes no big deal
I think Monkeyfuzz always puts it better than how others can put it. He doesn’t take a side, will always point out that no one side is truly right and point out the details of each sides rights and wrongs
I will remain stagnant on whether or not things are real or not till GF tells us and confirms stuff
Pretty good way to look at it. Like I said just remain on fence for most part because for all we know a leak may be real. Heck I am still shocked about the starter leaks last generation. Hopefully we get a reveal soon. I will take silhouettes of the starters at this point lol that said I am still expecting a rabbit. A platypus would be really nice too but not holding my breath on that one 👀
Let’s just ignore the fact that I literally was right
It’s not about you Star. Learn that others had an opinion and you had one, and yours turned up to be fact in the
What’s done is done and people should get over it as should you. If you don’t get over it Star others won’t either and then all it does is cause more fights in the future and further toxify this great place
What they said^ much nicer than how I would have put it lol I have too much sarcasm in me
It wasn’t an opinion I literally explained over and over why it was fake and no one wanted to listen to me. Now I’m still being antagonized
Well get over it. You were right and some are hurt for no listening
Ignore the antogonizers and don’t fight back because then your as bad as them
I am at a loss for words at how right you are
Attacks are for Pokémon, not people playing or rumoring about a game. I’ll try to be calmer next time
YOU DID NOTHING WRONG!! 🙁
But I admit I did get enraged at times at some people and though I remained neutral on the fact of real or fake I did be somewhat hostile towards Star at times and towards a few others thinking there fake (I will not apologize to the guy who called everyone stupid though, f*ck him.)
Man not sure if I would go with water or fire with this set. I do really like platypus and think it would make a great poison water type but I also have a pet rabbit in real life so I’d feel obligated to go with the rabbit starter. lol
Oh what’s that? The so good totally legit starters were revealed to be fake? *gasp* Who would have guessed. Except anybody with a brain. Read the username. Also stop hating on Star she just wasn’t an idiot like the rest of you deal with it.
Okay how about
NO
How about
YES
Stop with the rumours 99.9999999999999999% of rumours are fake trash.
In not taking about the rumors i’m talking about you’r behavior calling everyone except one person stupid
Star is the only person other than me I saw outright saying these obviously fake starters were fake.
Just block him. He’s here to get a rise out of people
No just here to reassure people that yes they were indeed stupid.
Just did that myself. Was going to give him a rock line but decided against it. Guys an asshole and isn’t worth my time
Same
Okay going to be that guy and say it. For future possible leaks this goes for BOTH sides. Remain on the fence. Sure it’s fine to hope they are real but don’t get your hopes up too high. And don’t get angry at people for thinking they are real either. It’s their opinion let them have it not a big deal. I really do not want this site to get turned into a war zone. I love coming here to discuss rumors with fellow fans of a series that means so much to me. And I love it that I can come here to get my mind clear if I need to. Just try to get along everyone. Hope I worded this good. Anyways hope everyone is having a great day today
As I have already said put rumours/fakes in their own section and there wouldn’t be an issue.
Why do we waste our time being on the fence when we can clearly tell something is fake -.-
Because I can do whatever the hell I want? Same with you.
Dodging the question
star just freaking drop it. I am trying to be as nice as I possibly can with you but you are not making it easy. You are entitled to think the way you want and I can think the way I want to as well. Just deal with it okay? Have a great day/night whatever time it is where you live
Yeah seriously star
Your just dragging this on longer than it needs to be. So drop it
Just want to clarify that I am not saying everyone should do what I said it’s just a suggestion. If you want to assume stuff is fake automatically go ahead that’s your business. At the same time don’t get mad at people who live differently than you do. I’m not trying to attack you or anything but don’t come spouting out at me because I won’t take it. Sorry if I came across as harsh earlier.
The thing is we couldn’t tho…. Ugggggg
I’m scared for gen 8 now.. Its going to shred us apart
Would’ve helped if they didn’t say they were making a Switch game WAAAAAAAY before it was 1) ready to be revealed 2) ready to be released.
Ok star seriously. I understand your unhappiness with pokemon rn. We have had multiple discussions here. You know how I felt towards sun and moon and USUM and alola all together. But now you’re just being rude. It seems like you’re being extremely disrespectful and taking your anger towards pokemon out on others. Yesterday you said I was being defensive for no reason and when I asked you how, you didn’t respond. I don’t want to sound like a jerk but lately you’ve been acting very negatively about how others choose to look at things. It’s a pokemon site, people want to talk about pokemon, so just drop it
Oh I’m being disrespectful? Because it seems every time I voice my opinion I’m treated like I’m a bitch. No one here can fucking handle my disagreeing with them and its infuriating
I don’t use disqus as much as I used to 3-4 years ago but from what I’ve seem the past few days it’s the way you voice your opinions. I’m the most unpopular opinion person here, you can ask a lot of people here and on discord, yet I don’t express my opinions so negatively. There’s nothing wrong with disagreeing.
Sadly, Star, you are the architect of your own misery. You incite people by insulting them, then claim victim status when they react negatively. If you are legitimately upset, and not just being a troll, my advice is be careful about using words like stupid, idiot, and naive in your responses to people and to stop trying to get people to agree with you. They don’t have to and you have no right to demand that they do.
Why do I agree
This was… this was worded beautifully my friend
thanks just felt it needed to be said. I just want everyone to stop being at each other’s throats right now.
We need someone to use heal pulse and heal everyone out of this frenzy
Fun fact: An Artist showed Masuda artwork of the final stages of the Alolan starters months before the announcement. He just laughed it off
What if GF leaked the starter final evos artwork themselves to generate hype?
With how much discussion “leaks” generate, I think that’s a distinct possibility. Easy to hide their legitimacy by posting them on untrustworthy sites like 4chan. No way to know, really, but possible.
That would definitely give me a good feeling
HAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHA No.
So they’re fake? Props to the artist
It would appear so. I guess there’s a possibility he’s claiming responsibility just to generate interest in his commisions, but he’ll be getting a strongly worded letter from GF’s legal department if that’s the case. 😉
That is a very slight possibility. Would be kind of funny if it happened
Right? I can only imagine the look on his face when he got the “You claimed our IP, we’re suing you now” letter. XD
The thought of it makes me laugh lol I know it most likely wouldn’t happen but meh lol
Yeah the artist is good but they need to stop passing their work off as official stuff.
Messed up my grammar there
Honestly just gonna take a break from this site, not exactly a place I wanna be right now
Will you be on discord? If not then I wish you the best of luck till with your life and whatever you have going on till you return
Nuuuuuuuuuuu
see ya around
Seriously, to those that are like “told you so” you can cut it now. I didn’t think they were real either but it didn’t bother me that people were talking about them. And to those who are upset they are fake, don’t worry just shows that we don’t know what gen 8 has in store for us yet
The site Is in chaos right now. I was pretty much on the fence about them. Did I want them to be real? Yes I really did. Loved all three especially the platypus. It sucks that they aren’t but that’s life it happens in this fandom. Heck maybe the starters gamefreak have planned will be better for all we know? Just have to wait and see
Heck maybe the starters gamefreak have planned will be better for all we know?
Nope. GameFreak doesn’t know what they are doing anymore.
You know, the fake pokemon is what a majority of the chat has been the past two days. If you are really that upset and annoyed by it why exactly must you continue to reply calling people stupid? Just leave if it bothers you
But I get off on calling people out on their stupidity.
That’s quite pathetic
I think it’s hot myself, don’t kink shame.
Ok 1) I didn’t think that’s what you meant and 2) Idgaf keep that to yourself. The thing is I don’t disagree with your attitude towards fake pokemon. I think people go far to believing them. It’s your way of handling it that’s the problem
Shame shame on the one who kink shames.
Why are you even here?
Attention 🙂
Yup and apparently I’m “kink shaming” whatever that means. Sorry but he can keep his “kinks” to himself, this isn’t the place for that
The same reason anybody is Luigi301 to take over the world.
Are they confirmed fake? I hate life
Yes. And it is your own fault. Don’t be a fool next time.
It must really bother you huh?
Seeing people being idiots? Yes. It shouldn’t but it does.
Well people need to understand that even real stuff not yet confirmed is rumor, leaks, whatever you want to call it. If someone today somehow got real info on starters and shared it, it would have the same attitude. All fake till actually confirmed
Sadly yes by looks of it. Rip my dream of Platypus starter
RIP my little Firebunny… The best bunny Pokemon/Fakemon I’ve seen yet
you tell they were all fake mainly cause of the fire bunny, it had eeveelution eyes which was a dead give away.
i was busy the last hour and a half did the site asplode again?
The site turned into a frenzy of wars over the irrelevant fact that the starters are indeed fake
well its a good thing i never liked any of them and come on guys seriously they were fakes from the beginning
You dont like anything unless its a fat female with a fetish for ground types
That’s taking it a bit too far
Some didn’t share that opinion and are crushed
I think we need to stop the leaks and pull everyone back together
This is what we call hindsight bias. “I knew it all along” phenomenon
Nahh I said it from the start personally
They disgust me… The. The designs. Especially the platypus
you’re annoying
Your lack of punctuation and proper capitalization is annoying.
Your* lol
Already corrected through an edit. Too slow my bro.
You definitely missed the perfect opportunity for a poke-pun with the “slow my bro”
Because he isn’t as smart as he thinks haha.
No, I’m far smarter.
I’m glad you don’t lack confidence, but you do lack self-knowledge. 🙂
How would I lack self-knowledge when I am myself.
How is that a pun?
slow my bro… Slowbro… come on its not team rocket science >_>
That’s not a pun that’s stupid.
Oh gosh… I thought you were talking to yourself for a moment
I wanted to comment on the rumor of today. Emily Rogers talking about super smash bros later this year.
1. A Smash Bros title will be announced and released for Switch later this year.
2. They added brand new content and re-worked some of the existing Wii U/3DS coBrent
This makes me very excited
Who’s Emily Rogers again?
A liar.
Will never believe her but Smash has been a likely candidate since the reveal of Switch so I mean this means nothing.
please be real…
They’re not.
Didn’t really like the Grass and Fire one but the platypus was nicely designed!
Don’t mind it that they’re fake though, I think GF could do better 🙂
Hanford too?!?!?! How are you first off? And second the Jungle really is coming together
Hey 😉 I’m great, just really busy with studying, but I finally found time and enjoyment to be on this site again 🙂
How are you?
I’m doing well. This place hasn’t been the happiest place on earth for a few days, but it’ll pass
Good for you 🙂
Not for me and bad for a company who makes money being mediocre.
I think I’m going to take a brief hiatus from here. I feel like I just made everything worse and now people are leaving. I just don’t want to make anything worse then it already is…
How so? There’s nothing wrong with wanting them to be real
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uAj4wBIU-8
Dude let me put this in perspective
You are in no way a problem here, actually when you came you actually did something I didn’t think would happen. Shared many people’s opinions and unified us.
I’m sick and tired of nice newcomers scared or upset leaving because some one or something caused drama or problems, many come, but most leave within a week. I hope you aren’t taking a long hiatus or your moving to discord at least because of the many who have left. Your one I wouldn’t ever want to leave
IDK I just hope this rolls over soon because It’s not fun to see all the nice people here at eachotheres throats. All over a platypus, bunny and a lemur…. It’s just not fun… I might be gone untill this conflict goes away.
Also we need more people like you and monkey, who understand both points and can agree with everyone
Please don’t leave discord though
You sometimes are the only person I get to talk to about Yo-kai and Pokémon without having to turn it into an argument
I’ll stay on Discord, everyone’s still happy there
I will ghost here untill the conflict is resolved
Valoroo, i have enjoyed discussing this rumor with you. Please, don’t let someone else ruin your enjoyment. Stick around, continue to have civil discussions and simply don’t respond if someone is being insulting. It’s not worth it. Just continue enjoying the conversation with those who are also enjoying it. 🙂
I think I might stay around… The healers are taking over the haters
Wow what’s happening here? I haven’t been here in a year or so, but this is not the place I left some time ago. Why aren’t people treating each other nicely? Isn’t this a community, meaning you all belong to the same group, namely Pokémon fans? I believe that means we should talk about Pokémon and voice our opinions, without remembering to respect each other.
I hope people won’t leave and talk it out. That’s the only thing that helps. Leaving this place won’t fix anything.
Well apparently I’m the one making everyone feel like sh*t so maybe leaving would fix everything
Star here’s how to fix this:
-Shut up about being right, we get it and let’s move on to something else now
-Learn others don’t care as much about facts and want to be less aware, you can post them, but don’t repeatedly do it to try and make people dislike you for it
-Remember its all a game and reason to get so upset over it (both sides need this one)
Now if these things happen people won’t have reason to strife with you and we can get back to the way things were, together not seperate.
Nah ya know what I think I should go.
“Learn others don’t care as much about facts and want to be less aware” is the most ridiculous and embarrassing sentence I have ever read and if that’s the attitude we are goona have here then I want no part of it.
If that’s your wish, then I wish you luck in your endeavors of life else where and hope we meet again in a happier or friendlier time
Best of luck to you my friend 🙂
Sorry for this, but the way you worded it reminds me of Moddo from Doctor Strange when he said “I’ll follow this path no longer” and makes me think you’ll go around taking us out one by one to enact revenge
You also are right
People have been like this since USUM, the jungles been at war for a long while and it keeps diving worse and worse into it as people are growing grudges, losing site of opinions and such and all in all people have forgotten, it’s just a game and people should be allowed to voice their opinions without dealing with repercussions from it.
Leaving only dwindles the people we have here and saddens everyone so your right it fixes nothing
Aren’t you a mod?
He is as a matter of fact
Can I say… Told you so… Now?? 😬
Lol.
But I’ve looked through my teams.. Turns out
Most common types I use are
Fairy – Togetic
Flying – always have at least 1 more flying type
Fire – Not trio, because USUM first time only fire on team
Water/ Grass- …
Dark – surprised me.. only 2 gens I didn’t use one
Also.. I had a dream last night about a shiny Poipole… Wtf.. can’t remember when I last had a dream about kids stuff.. since I was a kid . Rarely even then. Lol
You dreamt about adult stuff as a kid?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yicbvWwQ_MA
I dreamt about just realized life… My day to day… So.. boring.. or nightmares :3
*real life
Wow, you had a 50/50 chance at getting it, and you got it.
I’m impressed.
No… It was More than 50/50. Because I looked at Facts. Don’t try n argue with me. You’ll surely loose. It was at least a 60/40 chance it was Fake . Based on the wording and designs. Plz
Not that I even care that much.. as long as they ain’t real
Lol, continuing with the arrogance. . .
No, it was 50/50 there was no “proof” one way or the other.
The “wording” was accurate, which is what played into why people believed it, same with the designs.
Not sure what your grasp on “proof” is, but it seems to different from mine.
But hey, keep your nose up. You were right, good job.
Guys they’re fake. Can we drop the negativity now? That’s it. Let’s end it here
That depends can fakers stop posting fakes?
Again you wouldn’t know they are fake till confirmed as such. You done?
It’s obvious when they are fake. Are fakers done?
I agree no point in letting this year us apart
Let’s move on, or we may not have anyone left for Gen.8 lol
Yes please
Starters are supposed to unite us, not tear us apart
High point of this rumor being fake? There’s still a possibility for a bug starter *fist pump*
fist pumps back
As a secondary typing? Yeah. Otherwise no.
Now that’s a good thing to post on
Fist bumps back
I’m too lazy to look it up, but what types haven’t been used?
Bug, dragon, ice, rock, I think. Did I miss any?
I think electric, steel, bug, rock , flying , and normal
Empoleon and Charizard 🙂
Technically Rowlet too
How about water/ghost?
Normal, Electric, Bug, Dragon, Ice, Rock
Poipole is a Dragon starter… But in a different dimension :3
Normal and electric. I knew I was forgetting something.
I dunno.. they have so many weaknesses..
Yeah, I know. I still love them.
Meh 2
Yeah, well…your face is meh 2. 😛
:’3
Water/Bug only has Electric, Rock and Flying
Fire/Bug only has Water, Rock and Flying
Grass/Bug… not starting with that one
O..
Poor Grass/Bug. I still love you Parasect!
These Water/Bug tardigrades are the best bug starters I have ever seen
I want this
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2812f7f79fe867b23b5d5c133b500431136d9ec50a9d52ba655345839c24466e.png
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SO CUTE
Oooo, i like that a lot!
The middle evolution is absolutely adorable and the final evolution is remarkably similar to what i have imagined for a literal interpretation of the fantasy monsters called “bugbears,” only this one is a dog.
No this one is a bear as well 🙂
A tardigrade, also known as water bear 🙂
So the artist combined bears with tardigrades
Oooooh, gotcha. They look like St. Bernards to me. I knew the term tardigrade sounded familiar.
Oh my that’s cute
Bug type just recently kicked Electric from my 2nd favorite type. Underrated
Bug and Poison battle constantly for the spot as my favorite. I wish more of the bugs had better stats, but I still love the type as a whole. I have thoroughly enjoyed my mono bug teams.
~sigh~

Hopefully we can heal after this and it doesn’t spiral down into nothingness
We will. There’s been worse on the discus. We just can’t let it happen again. I’m guilty of stirring things up too. But I think everyone on both sides needs to stay on the fence in the future as many people have put it.
It’s been worse? Only time I’ve seen that is the forbidden Z…
We all know who I mean
he who must not be named
I’ll give you a hint rhymes with
Piggy Tartbust
zeegy fertgust
Close, but not quite
i knew it all along
ZIGGY FARTDU-
*gets pulled away by cops*
I’m surprised you know him, he was at least a year ago
I ghosted around all of the sites around the SuMo hype season but I stopped ghosting here when he came
Oh XD
He probably was the one thing that both tore us apart and United us at the same time
Maybe He still talks… Just under a different name and personality 👀
Bum BUM BUUUM
…… 👀
I swear i’m not him… I promise
You don’t mean…
*turns to you
Are you him?
But No! I’ve been here Over a Year and I’m only well opinionated.. Not a Jerk. Thank you…
I know your no jerk
I think your attack saved us
