^^^ Yeah. He will be called "Rainbow Greninja."

Spoiler:

https://segmentnext.com/2016/08/13/pokemon-sun-moon-info-leak/

It is from 4Chan and I really don't think that is real. I will be honest. As a more reliable source, if I am not mistaken, said that there would be more Alolan Forms. Also, I do not believe in the info that Alolan Forms can Mega Evolve. I just don't think that would happen, because that would lead to more Mega Pokemon, which they say there are no new Mega Pokemon. So that itself cancels the authenticity of the leak.

Why would Umbreon and Espeon get new forms? It really doesn't make much sense. If they do, why not other pokemon that evolve with Night and Day?

Hasn't the Marshadow one already been said in the past and the person who said it was proven wrong?

NX will probably have the ability to play 3DS games, why make a parent game on a different console that required a console update so quickly? Not to mention less than a year after the first game?

I may be nitpicking, but I do not trust 4Chan in the least.

Don't know whether this has already been posted here but a list of Pokemon to be announced over the coming months has been leaked. Take it as you will, though!

Mmmmmmm, calling fake for now (as usual). If none of the Pokémon described here get revealed soon, then we can axe off this off completely.

 

[Desert Stream~]

Ash Greninja will be in the game. There's no doubt. They might change its name like they did with "Awakened Mewtwo." But the design itself will definitely be in the game.

What I wonder though is if it's just Greninja that has a Z move activated synchro form or if there are more.

How can you say for sure it will be in the game? It's not at all confirmed! It will probably be in the game (unfortunately), but not for sure.

new "leaks"

So I came across this article. To me it sounded quite interesting.

Some things about the Z-stones, Pokémon and their Z-moves. Also very interesting things about two of favorite Gen 7 Pokémon so far, Rockruff (Iwanko still sounds better). He will become a bit like Eevee. Three different kind of evolutions. The second one is Salendit. His male and female for will be different they say for when it evolves. The last I wanne say is that Mega's will be back according to this article. This made me even more hyped :)

A walking house? That's definitely something I could be seeing as the overly bashed Pokemon of this generation, aka the "Vanillite/Trubbish" of 7th Gen.

The mushroom ring seems to be Morelull, and a two-stager like all the other mushroom Pokemon as I expect.

Anyways, I call most of this list fake due to the dumb ideas, but we'll wait for a trailer to see if we'll debunk it or not.

 

[Thunderflare]

I've heard of that rumor and believe that its fake.

 

[smocks]

Sounds like all of the other rumors thats been going around (cough 4chan cough), but the Salandit one seems plausible because usually Pokémon have different designs for gender and GF have been doing more gender specific forms like Meowstic & Pyroar

 

[Nath74K]

I think a walking house is highly unlikely considering there already is a living sandcastle in Gen 7. That would be too much Pokémons in the buildings family ahahah

 

[smocks]

going back to Ash Greninja, I don't think Ash Greninja will be in the game.

It's called Ash Greninja for a reason, it's Ash's Greninja, not the whole audience's Greninja.

Plus, wouldn't it be too complicated for GF to put Ash Greninja in there? With the New Z-moves and the possible return of Megas, having a whole transformation just for Greninja kinda seems too much, especially Greninja isn't a legendary (nor the mascot for Pokémon)

For Rainbow Greninja, what even is that? Is it just an Alola Greninja? Otherwise I wouldn't be surprised if that happens, just fan service for Greninja tbh

Don't we already have a "Wheel Millipede" Pokémon? Either way this list is weird. A house I can understand how it could be made into a Pokémon, but a canyon? For real? A Pokémon that's just a canyon? How??

It seems odd why they would have listed a Pokemon to be, by description, the exact same as an already existing Pokemon. Some of them sound quite unique if true, but personally I'm trying not to read too much into it.

A walking house sounds like it would have too much overlap with our Sandcastle mon...

Unless Shirodesuna evolves into a real house/castle or something weird like that.

 

[Pinkie-Dawn]

I'll copy/paste what was written from that leak:

Spoiler:

Wheel millipede:
Two staged line, Bug/Fighting

Archipelago turtle:
Two staged line, Water/Ground

Walking House:
Three staged line, Ghost

Ice flake:
Three staged line, Ice

Mushroom ring:
Two staged line, Grass/Fairy

Toy gadget:
Three staged line, Steel/Fairy

Canyon:
Two staged line, Ground

Puppet:
Two staged line, Fairy

Hibiscus flower:
Three staged line, Grass

Chilli:
Two staged line, Grass, Grass/Fire

Bat:
Three Staged line, Dark/Flying

Kirin:
Three Staged line, Water/Dragon

Terrapin:
Three Staged line, Dragon

Rock Painting:
Two staged line, Rock

Gem:
Three staged line, Rock

Sandworm:
Two staged line, Ground/Bug

Waterbug:
Two staged line, Bug/Water

Umbrella:
Two staged line, Ghost/Flying

Glass orb:
Three staged line, Psychic

Dolphin:
Three staged line, Water, Water/Psychic

Monkey
Three staged line, Fighting

How odd that it didn't mention Morelull by name and instead "Mushroom Ring" (and this was posted after the new trailer).

 

[mew_nani]

Oh dear lord that list. A walking house? Sandworms? Tortoises? Toys? Puppets? It's Final Fantasy VII all over again.

On a more serious note, some of these supposed Pokemon are... strange. I can expect things like sandworms and karakasas but a canyon Pokemon? How is that even possible? Not to mention a kirin (or qilin if you prefer) is a unicorn like creature with scales, but the one on the list seems based on something else given that typing.

 

[Benermerut]

Oh man. I for one would welcome a walking house Pokémon if it was a reference to Baba Yaga.

Ash-Greninja probably wouldn't be its actual name, that was just its coverup name, like with Awakened Mewtwo.

It would be kind of weird to just have the form for him, buttttttt he is pretty popular, and we don't even know how the form will be incorporated. Heck, maybe they'll just say "Screw it," and make it a Mega.

And Rainbow Greninja is just from some fake sounding leak, I wouldn't really consider it a possibility.

My opinion on this, I have heard of the Rockruff evolution rumor in that it's based on your Alola starter choice, but since CoroCoro will be covering it next month we'll see if that's what the evolution method ends up being. Salandit is something I feel won't be a split evolution but rather its evolution having differences in appearance based on gender, similar to Pokemon like Unfezant and Pyroar.

Edit: TheOneIntegral has posted a video on the current state of the Alola Pokedex and comparing what the 6th Gen Pokedex was like at this stage back in 2013.

Spoiler:

At the moment we have had 37 new Pokemon revealed for 7th Gen plus 7 Alola Forms. With the fact the starters and Pikipek are pretty much confirmed to evolve twice, those evolutions will make 45. The other new Pokemon he has predicted will get at least one evolution although he's unsure about Bruxish and Drampa at the moment.

Also according to the video, at this point back in 2013 we had 21 6th Gen Pokemon revealed (no Megas were revealed yet, but then again Megas were announced at a later point in the month) with 18 evolution lines, and he correctly predicted 39 evolution lines total. At the moment he's predicting between 59 and 68 for 7th Gen evolution lines + Alola Forms. Alola Forms seem to be marketed as new Pokemon, similar to the Mega Evolutions.

I think there is a distinct possibility that Sandilit will have either a gender split evolution OR different appearance based on gender provided its pokedex description that explicitly identifies gender differences in the females' ability to attract any male. I am expecting them to be the Bonnie and Clyde of pokemon. At least I am hoping this is the case. For all we know, since only male sandilit's have been revealed, there may be gender differences in this stage of its evolutionary line. I would guess that instead of cute charm, the female forme's ability would function more like poison touch, in that when this pokemon makes hits the male opponent it has a chance to also infatuate it. Imagine the possibilities of Poison Fang as having a chance to inflict both infatuation and poison statuses.

Like you said, the Salandit we saw in one trailer was shown to be male but I like your idea of the different genders' evolution having different abilities because that was the case with Meowstic's Hidden Ability (males had Prankster while females had Competitive). However, I wouldn't get hopes up based entirely on a Pokedex entry since the Pokedex entries sometimes never match up with what learned moves or abilities a Pokemon gets.
