I'll start by reminding everyone what was in the Chinese leak:
To anyone who thinks these guesses were lucky, I find it nearly impossible that someone would be able to guess half these things, especially "rugby monkey"!!!!! I mean seriously, that is anything but a lucky guess. So, why the apparent absence of a snowman or dolphin pokemon?
After the Sun and Moon Demo was datamined it seemed like 3 possibilities explained the discrepancy of the missing snowman and dolphin:
1. Crawbrawlers' evo = Snowman and Tapu Fini = Dolphin
2. The leaks were peppered with false/misleading information.
3. There are more pokemon not included in the Demo data.
I am well aware that there is a possibility that the "snowman" was slightly mistranslated and was actually describing the "yeti" aspect of Crabominal, the yeti crab. Secondly, Tapu Fini mostly resembles a swordfish or a marlin, and more remotely like a Dolphin -- though, I can sort of see how it could be based on a dolphin...it's quite a stretch. In the case of the dolphin prediction, the explanation 2 makes more sense than explanation 1. Though, explanation 1 makes more sense for Crabominal. I am inclined to think that explanation 3 may still be on the table though.
There is a distinct possibility that the Chinese leaker was aware of Pokemon Stars. The rumored Switch version of Sun and Moon. Eurogamers sources on Pokemon Stars reported, "We've also heard suggestion there will be more creatures to collect in the Switch version, although not all of our sources could confirm this." Though, it's unclear whether this means "more gen 7 pokemon" or just a greater variety of previous generation pokemon. Could the dolphin and snowman pokemon be included in the third version on the Switch?
Moreover, the Chinese leak may actually support the rumor more new gen 7 creatures will be introduced in pokemon stars since, let's be honest, the chinese leak seemed to be off somehow when describing a couple of the new pokemon yet got everything else correct, and quite specifically so, ie. "rugby monkey". It seems like if the leaker were actually describing Crabominal, he would have specified "Crab" as well. And, obviously, Tapu Fini, as I stated, does not actually resemble a dolphin all that much.
