EDIT: Show's over
Maybe take this one with a pound of salt. It seems to be very similar to the Gen 7 final evo leaks but this could definitely be just someone trying to emulate that leak. Really good designs though. I haven't seen anyone debunk it or claim it as theirs yet.
close if old.

Actually, the fact that they used katakana for the first, kanji for the second and hiragana for the third makes it more likely these are real. Writing in katakana creates a 'cooler' image, which it seems like they're trying to project with the grass monkey. Hiragana has a more 'cute' / 'childlike' image, which is the theme of the water starter. It's a very Japanese thing to do so if it's fake then whoever did it put a lot of thought into it.

They talk about the art looking cleaner than the Gen VII starter leak which is true, but it seems to match the more recent model sheets in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
