Pokemon Sun and Moon Starters Evolutions Leaked?
Hello guys! Just today that I just saw some corocoro leaks about Pokemon Sun and Moon. It's about starters evolutions. What you guys think this is real or fake. To be honest, I think this is fake.
|
Looks fake because otherwise Popplio looks like a form of Oshawatt's line and Litten's Second Evolution's eyes don't look Pokémon designed those eyes, and their design styles are all different as if these are all different fan arts
|
I've seen that artwork floating around a lot lately, but looking at how much the Popplio evolution looks too much like Dewott I am going to assume the art is fake.
|
I am also going to guess they are fake. We didn't learn about the Starter 2nd forms until about August or so in XY.
They aren't going to reveal the starter evos that quickly. Not before they reveal at least 1 batch of pokemon. And they RARELY reveal them in evolution order. Talonflame was revealed before Flechinder and made everyone think Fletchling only had 1 evolution. They also revealed Gogoat and Noivern before the revealed Noibat and Skiddo. It is the same with countless other pokemon. The colors also look extremely dull and papery compared to other corocoro scans. |

As fakes go these are pretty good and I'd be okay with them if they were real. Someone did a good job here making them look familiar to the starters without just being larger versions of them.
|
This are fake.
|
They look phoney. As someone said, the art styles look different from each other.
|
Oh poo, there's not a doubt these are fake and they don't look up to par with Ken Sugimori's art.

Speaking of evolution leaks, I found this on Tumblr:
https://66.media.tumblr.com/0250e03bd66ab9ca99dc62e78ecf5d7b/tumblr_o8adnyxaSF1qhkgqso1_540.jpg My thoughts on this: The Rowlet evo becoming an archer is definitely an odd concept but one that could be fun, the main issue will come down to if the massive Rowlet fanbase finds it ugly or not. It's not a bad design and all, but those sunglasses it seems to be wearing do look out of place. Plus, the fact Rowlet shoots leaves out of its wings that eventually become arrows looks like something that makes sense and transitions well. The Litten evo is biped, which would continue the disturbing trend of Fire starters always going bipedal when they evolve but also has that tiger look that's all been theorized, also that muscular body could suggest Fire/Fighting, so that means could Litten decline to Tepig levels of unpopularity? It is definitely a concerning time for Litten fans with this, especially if they hate Fire/Fighting starters becoming a thing again. The Popplio evo is... a mermaid? That is not what I'd expect a little sea lion to evolve into, but then again I know how much Dewgong's tail reminds me of a mermaid and the speculated Water/Fairy evo for Popplio (Water/Psychic could also fit). If this is the case, Popplio seems like the "feminine" starter that everyone will want to soft-reset for a female, a la fellow feminine starters Fennekin and Chikorita. I did notice Japanese text which I remember we had Japanese text when concept art of previous starters were shown (I know we had art of the Unova starters that was concept art with Japanese text written in parts, as description) so it does look suspicious. There is also the presence of a red "Confidential" label which was also present on a concept art piece of Noivern. Edit: The supposed Katakana text of these final evos appear to be called "Fukurou" (Rowlet evo), "Tora" (Litten evo) and "Ashike" (Popplio evo) |
The words Fukurou, Tora, and Ashika, translate into Owl, Tiger, and Sea Lion respectively. I think that those are fake, but they look like very good fakes, especially the Rowlet evolution

Yes looks fake. I don't believe that popplio would look like that.

Spoiler:
Rowlett's Evo: I love how the coloring of the eyes plus the leafy hood creates the appearance of shades; I do not believe it is actually wearing goggles or shades. The bow and arrow wing design and the bit of orange in the palette is also appealing. I love this concept much more than the possible circus "conductor" motif that has been circulating around as a rowlett evolution rumor. All-in-all this design is incredible and stands apart from the rest of the grass starters. 9.99/10 Litten's Evo: Yeah, it is a bulky bipedal fighting type, not my favorite, but I actually find the design appealing versus the other fighting/fire types...aside from Blazekin. My issue for emboar for instance was not the fact that it was bipedal and bulky, but rather it had an ugly and messy design rather than a badass one. Will I pick Litten first or second if this is the evo..."nope", but I think this option will satisfy anyone who is looking for a masculine pokemon with a nice design. 7.5/10 Popplio's Evo: So, my current favorite pokemon is Milotic because of its radical transformation and its beautiful design. In the concept art, it appears as if Popplio transformed from a cute, silly, and awkward clown to a beautiful, poised, and regal performer. I have to say if this concept art is real I think it might replace Milotic as my favorite pokemon. So I am trying NOT to get my hopes up! 10/10 Overall: 9.5 I am more inclined to think that these are not real-- odds are that any graphical leak is probably fake. |

Litten Evo: I know I was told not to sound arrogant about being right on something, but I was right (hopefully...). Everything about this evolution's design makes me think of Sagat, which is perfect for me with my Pokémon X Street Fighter idea. Popplio Evo: I was expecting an acrobatic sea lion to be the theme for Popplio due to its clownish appearance, but as a mermaid? If this is real, then Popplio's definitely gonna be this gen's Gardevoir. |

Aw, that's disappointing! :c |
Although they look very real, I'm pretty sure they're fake. You have lots of such fakes floating around whenever any Gen's Starters are revealed.
|
Both look fake, but in regards to the first one, I'm like 80% sure that was an oshawatt eco leak

Apparently I only found out just now, that if you look at the Litten evo artwork you'll actually see Ash and his Pikachu somewhere on the bottom, alongside what appears to be an unknown female trainer. Also, there has been anime-based concept art of Pokemon that had written katakana as opposed to typed katakana.
The thing to know is that there's concept art drawn for both the games and the anime, and it shows how the Pokemon is drawn when doing certain things. This latest starter evo leaks look like it's concept art for the anime. |
I like how everyone is commenting on the art style, Japanese names and whatnot to determine that they're fake, but no ones brought up that the typings are in English, which they never do LOL
That aside, I do like seeing fakes and peoples ideas for their evolutions, but I'm no a fan of any of these. |
Get this, over at Serebii the leak debate got so heated that a mod had to threaten everyone about not to take 4chan seriously because of a rule that said not to believe everything from 4chan, a site known for its reputation of fakes.
Anyways, I am calling this leak 50-50 and maybe we'll wait for the middle evolutions (or heck, even game release day if the final evos aren't revealed before then) before we can come to a conclusion on this. 4chan is usually not to be trusted, so I think they could be fakes but we'll wait for the official reveal before I can make a connection. |
