Wouldn't be opposed to these. Not feeling the design of the Grass starter but the Fire/Water are cute AF. Actually quite like these a lot more than the last 2 gens.

I doubt they'd leak any time before a CoroCoro leak. This is most likely a really well done fake.

In the chance it actually does turn out to be real...TEAM PLATYPUS BABY.

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.

that is really interesting. I'm going to add this bit to the OP

#TeamRealwithagrainofsalt

The profile shots and poses for the modelers are consistent with a lot of the Alola pokemon concept art.

Do Poison Pokemon still suck? Didn't play last gen but the platypus is giving me doubts for that reason alone.

Even if they're fake, these types of "leaks" are still neat when the designs are great, fun topic to talk about
images

This one hurt me the most.

I like the designs a lot actually, the platypus especially. However the fact that the "leak" is so similar to the leak of the Alolan final evolutions makes me weary, like they're specifically trying to emulate a real leak to give their fake credibility.

If Gen 8 really is happening this year, shit i haven't even found the time to play USUM yet......

The fire rabbit and platypus are great. Monkeys are always ugly. edit: or lemurs are cute, that one isn't

I actually really like all of them. Grass isn't as good as the other two, but it's still pretty damn good. If this is real I'd have a hard time choosing

It would be cool if these are real. All 3 are fantastic, and have great potential. The water and fire ones are ace.

I normally pick grass, but that guy is trash, fire bunny and platypus are great looking.

Sweet I love starter rumors~

I choose bunny. Platypus is cute and all but seriously I need that bunny.

Platypus is cute but overall nothing on Moon/Sun starters which were all great imo.

Rabbit looks kinda fake to me.

Normally I would say fake but I kinda like them, especially the water one plus the fact that they say confidential and that on the water you can clearly see it being used as a reference guide for the animé is kinda making me lean towards it being true.

It's would break my heart if it's fake as I really want to use the water and grass starter.

The last two didn't. Meme is kinda dead right now honestly.

Yeah, especially when Game Freak kinda lean into that joke with Incineroar being a wrestler but is actually Fire/Dark.

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

Angled eyes only existed due to limitation of the tech, there is no reason to go backwards.


Oh god, you look scary with your new avatar. D:

#TeamFake.

It's very unlikely that leaks repeat the exact same way from the same franchise.
But I admit, since the last big leak, fans are putting more effort into designing a concept behind a Pokemon instead of "just making good designs".
I would totally not mind if those starters turn out to be real, as their designs are very interesting in the context of the Pokemon world.

But nah, not convinced of this. I actually like the designs, but that doesn't mean it's more legit because of that (Wouldn't it be more likely, if there was ONE bad starter? :P)

For the sake of me adopting that fire bunny, I want this to be legit. Excellent designs, if these are fakes someone hire the faker.
