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.
This comes from 4chan. There are fake starters every single week there. This is no different and has nothing special, why did you make a thread for this?
But they're confidential, best to lock until we get proper clearance.Hopefully this thread isn't locked because there is a high probability that these ones are actually legit.
Loving the Bunny and Platypus. The lemur is just lacking some oomphf for me.
The last two didn't. Meme is kinda dead right now honestly.Even though these are fake I bet fire rabbit will somehow have a fire fighting final evolution.
People got no taste. ;)
What possibility? There really isn't any, this is just another random fake like every week.Hopefully this thread isn't locked because there is a high probability that these ones are actually legit.
Maybe give mods some time to react, thread was only posted a few minutes ago. Just report the thread if you think it breaks the rules.Why is this even being entertained? Seriously this forum has been too lenient on "leaks" that lack proper verification/credibility.
Hmm, the artwork (the largest images on each sheet) for those "starters" look like it's trying to mimic the artstyle of Yusuke Ohmura, the lead Pokemon designer for Sun/Moon. Which makes sense since that's what happened with the Alolan Starters' final evos. There is a noticeable difference between his and Sugimori's art. Ohmura uses more vibrant colours and thicker/smoother lines. Sugimori's colours are usually faded, the outlines are rougher, and he tends to use a texture brush in a lot of his art.
Ohmura pretty much drew the official art for all Alolan Pokemon except for Magearna and the Alolan Forms.
The thing is that Ohmura left Game Freak after Sun/Moon finished development and went freelance. He could be working with them again though.

Sugimori stopped drawing most Pokemon and characters on Gen 7.I doubt Sugimori drew this. The lines and shapes are too...deliberate? Feels more like someone carefully imitating his style than his style. It's too precise, well defined.
High probability based on what?Hopefully this thread isn't locked because there is a high probability that these ones are actually legit.

I want gen 1 eyes back. Angled, not round. It'd make these look so much better.
I did a quick photoshop:
