Why waste time like this on an obviously fake leak?

>>27632088
They say that the names are very basic. I'm curious.

>Pesp and Peskool

sounds like "pesk" and -esp obviously relates to Psychic. While the latter may relate to groups of fish called "schools".

>Caterburr
Refers to people shivering and sometimes saying, "Brr!" when the weather is cold.
>Parkoon
Probably refers to a Parker jacket, to keep warm as its in a cocoon stage.

>Porprise
A play on "porpoise" which refers to the family dolphins belong to

>Cumbersum
The word cumbersome means large and heavy to carry, or slow and complicated making it inefficient
>Anenemie
Based on an anemone plant probably

Oh gosh I hope this is real.
>tfw always wanted a book related pokemon

>>27632225
Thank you. Even if these are fake at least I learned something.

scruluse is a pun on screw loose. structor seems to be structure.

no 759 is a school of a fish

We still need
>Quackitt
>Bonéné
>Snohom
>Lumage
>Laspell
>Libraid
>Fiddlob
>Caluca
>Germik
>Fungkie
>Meritote
>Torgoyle

>>27632341
following on

softle is probably souffle and soft and then becomes an angry pancake

i also think laspell might be lapel and spell. but i'm not sure how those three connect together.

>>27632318
No problem!

>Lumage
'Lu' may refer to 'lux', so light or enlightenment
>Laspell
Well, according to Google translate, 'La' in Hawaiian means 'day'
>Libraid
It might refer to hair braids, or the zodiac Libre

>Swindlewt
A play on the words "swindle", "loot" and "newt"

>Fungkie
Sounds like the word "funky" when spoken. Which would be a good way to described the psychedelic effects of fungi

>Meritote
"Merit" and "tote" (the latter refers to something carried, usually heavy, so maybe a weapon)

>Scruluse
Literally when spoken, "screw loose"

No Rock/XXX pokes..


sooo unless we get alola form fossil pokes we dont get fossil pokes this gen.....Yeah i doubt that. As much as these weird 4 form starters, the weruff, and dolphin sound neat. I think the "leaker" forgot to make up some fake fossils

>>27632450
I think Softle is a Softshell Turtle that evolves into a Pancake Tortoise

>>27632487
We can still get fossils from earlier gens. Or they just exclude them to advertise Rockruff.

>Torgyle
"Tor" may refer to "tore". Not sure about this one.

>Cosmot
hmm...Mot, so maybe mottle, which means smears of colours or spots.

>>27632455
like i said above your post, i think laspell is lapel and spell but i can't see the theme with the two either side of it other than magic

>>27632510
that would make more sense than a souffle and a pancake, though the imagery of going big round souffle to flat pancake is nice

Just a couple of attempts

Lumage = Luminate + Mage
Laspell = La (feminine article) + Spell
Libraid = Libra + Maid

Porprise = Porpoise + Surprise (4 different possible typings)

>>27632554
The pronunciation can't be a coincidence.

Thanks for everyone who is helping. Keep them coming. Any idea on
>Quackitt
>Bonéné
>Snohom
>Fiddlob
>Caluca
>Germik?

>>27631938
Cucumber + cumbersome
Enemy + anemone

>>27632609
Quakitt could be a play on Quack

Bonéné could be Bon + Nene, which is a Hawaiian goose

>>27632609
I want to say that Quakitt could be based on the Ugly Duckling, but we sorta already have that with Ducklett

>>27632510
>>27632450
>>27632554
It's waffle not soufflé. Waffle and pancake.

>>27632510
Ahh, good thinking! I had no idea there was such an actual thing as a Pancake Tortoise!

>Germik
missed this one. Uh..no idea.
>Quakitt
Would rhyme well with "racket".
>Bonene
Bon means 'good' in French at the very least...these two are really tough to figure out.

>Fiddlob
...a combination of "fiddle" and "lobster"?
>Caluca
....no idea.

Man I wish this dex was real. The subspecies typings just add shere variety to some of these.

>>27631948
Caterpillar + burr

Burr being the onomatopoeia for the noise you make when you're cold.

>>27632697
>Quakitt could be a play on Quack

Bonéné could be Bon + Nene, which is a Hawaiian goose

Ooh, very good! The Fairy typing was making me wonder if would become a peacock, but alas, not this time it seems.

So Germik, Fiddlob and Caluca remain

>>27631948
>>27632762

Parkoon

Parka + Cacoon

>>27632697
Bonéné

"Bon" could be short for bonnet

Since Bonéné is a fairy/flying goose, this could be based on Mother Goose, which is sometimes depicted as a goose wearing a bonnet

>>27632779
Parka, not parker, thank you for correcting that. I'm hungry, so my mind drifts when typing.

>>27631948
Not instructor. It's a Steel type. It's Structure.

I'm getting the gut feeling that these are real.
The names are just TOO Pokémon-like and clever. Fake names are always stupid. Also at first I was put off by all these alternate forms but it makes sense considering the Darwin reference.

>>27632528
yeah for sure and they defintely could me making alola forms for some fossils too. But it would be nice to fill in some of those fossil typings and missing popular dinos like stego, raptors, terror birds, or maybe some kinda old mammal.

But yeah it very well could be like gen 2 and they are nixing fossils to focus on this crazy new 4 form split evo's

Ugly duckling...Mother Goose, so nursery tales...

OMG GUYS. IT'S HAPPENING.

>>27632845
AND I was right with Wottergate, Fairygate, Greninja and Hawlucha, Lucha Kitten and friends.

Alright, we're looking good. Thanks for the help everyone.

>Snohom
It's like a combination of snow, no, and home. So, no home, like if you were to say, "no one home"? Then it turns out there is a ghost in the house after all

>>27631938
Pesp and Peskool

Pool + ESP
ESP + School of fish

Hive mind fish?

>>27632929
Water/Psychic just like Bruxish and its supposed evo, which are just before it in the dex. Could these two psychic fish lines be version exclusives?

>>27632877
Soft + Waffle

It's breakfast food

>>27632855
Yup! And Mother Goose's association with nursery tales and such would suit its fairy typing, since fairies, fairy tales, and all that

>>27632964
I meant prevo, sorry

>Quakitt
Well, it rhymes and kinda reminds me of the word 'racket', so maybe its a really noisy gosling?

Germik and Caluca have me stumped, sorry OP

>>27632877
Quackitt may be a combination of "quack" and "petit"

>>27632877
The only thing that makes sense to me for Fiddlob is that it is a combination between a Lobster and a Fiddler Crab. Of course, that still doesn't explain Caluca but I'm working on it.

>>27631938
Bounsweet = Bounty + Sweet, etc, etc
>>27632225
Parkoon is Parka + Cocoon, not "parker"
Porprise is probably Porpise + Surprise
Cumbersum is a pun on (Sea) Cucumber and Cumbersome
Sea Anemones are animals, not plants. So Anenemie is (Sea) Anemone + Enemy

>>27632609
Quackitt seems like it might be based on a Ducklet and Quack which could refer to a quack doctor.

Snohom is a play on Snow and Hominid, hominid being another word for humans, so literally snow man.

Fiddlob, I feel might be a fusion of Fiddler and Lob, so maybe a fiddler crab/cannon or crab/catapult, no idea what Caluca refers to though.

Germik seems like Germ + Ick, like "oh you're sick? Ick!" But might refer to something like wheat germ.

>>27632964
Good catch. The Skrelp/Clauncher of Gen 7

Fuck they're real aren't they

>Parkoon is a parka
>Hikajoon a hikab

Muslim bug Pokemon?

>>27632999
It's probably comes from wheat germ considering it evolves into a pepper.

>>27633081
Nah it's Hijack + Cacoon. Something steals the Parkoon's shell when it evolves. Think Shedinja.

>>27633081
>hikab
I think you're mistaking with a hijab

Pan is the genus for chimpanzee, Pansage Pansear Panpour Pancham & Pangoro

>>27633108
Agree with this anon, like some sort of Parasitic pokemon

>>27633087
I'm not convinced that Germik is the same line as Peppire and Triburn, because the altter two seem to be combinations of:

Pepper +Pyre & Tribute + Burn, probably in reference to older cultures like the Hawaiians throwing people into volcanoes for trubites.

>>27633160
Pangoro is a Panda...

>>27633160
Pancham and Pangoro's Pan section comes from Panda.

I think Caluca might come from "callous" given that it is part steel. Still trying to figure out the rest.

>>27631938
>number 768

u wot m8?

>>27632877
Personally I think:
>Quakkit = Quack + corruption of Ducklet or Bonnet?
>Torgoyle could include a corruption of Matador [a bull fighter] or from Tor Troéng, an MMA fighter [Think Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee]
>Bountisteen = Bountiful + Mangosteen
>Caluca = Callus? Calico? [Calico Lobsters came up on my google searches for some reason lol]
>Germik = Germ + ???

Are Softle and Panquake supposed to be like, a soft-shelled turtle pancake?

Honestly, for a concept this out there and retarded, I can only believe this is true

>>27633581
Pancake tortoises are a real creature. No joke, look it up

>>27633387
Maybe it is a calico lobster...though that is an Atlantic ocean dweller.

Germik...maybe its a standalone randomass grass type? So maybe germ+tick.
Or as other said, it is a pepper, so maybe its a wheatgerm Pokemon lol

>>27633108
So Parkoon has a split evolution. If it doesn't lose its shell, it become Flycicle; if it does, it becomes Hijakoon.

Or some shit like that. I dunno.

>>27633692
Wow, holy crap. That's...kind of really funny. Any idea why the dark typing?

I still think it's real just because of how out there and silly it is. I had the same gut feeling about the leaked starters--I felt there was no way a concept like that would be thought of by just one individual.

Who knows, though?

>>27632261
oh man, like death tomes? those are always great enemies, probably even better as pokemon

>>27631938
>Fire/Grass pepper
Confirmed fake.

>>27634160
This meme needs to die. There are plenty of reasons why the leak is most likely fake, using a common fakemon idea isn't one of them.

>>27634234
Fire/Grass pepper is a meme, and a shitty idea.

>>27633087
Germ in this case likely refers to the actual plant matter inside the hull of a seed. The -ik at the end may refer to wick, as in the part of the candle you burn.

>>27633827
Well, I assume it'd be pretty mad that someone or something took its shell away while waiting to evolve from a cacoon stage. So it becomes mean and tries to hijack other Parkoon shells to futilely try and become a Flycicle.

Makes sense: if it can't become what it wanted to become, why should other Parkoons get the chance to do so?

>>27634290
Very good! Dunno where OP went, but I think we've got them all.

Really, the only one that needs further looking into would be Caluca. I'm still not very certain about Fiddlob's etymology either.

>>27631948
>siren
>not siren+serene
Most obvious one and you missed it, fucking retard

>>27632225
Huh i didn't know that's what porpoise is, I always thought it was another kind of animal similar to a dolphin

>>27634777
My apologies, it is. It comes from the same family as dolphins, the family known as Phocoenidae

"A porpoise is a small toothed whale with a low triangular dorsal fin and a blunt rounded snout."

>>27631948
The -tom line is probably diatoms.

>>27634565
>>27632877
>>27632733

The Fiddler crab belongs to the genus Uca. Calcium is a metal present in crab shells.

Caluca = Calcium + Uca

>>27636757
Thank you so much!!! I'm still not satisfied with Torgoyle's etymology though. Could it be torch+gargoyle?

>>27631938
Where's Mudsdale?

>>27632877
Almost positive that Softle is a reference to soft sand and a turtle, while Panquake is a reference to Pancake Tortoises

>>27632088
you don't like puns?

Bountisteen is so great because it's basically Bounce+Bounty+Mangosteen and if you stretch the letters a bit, and consider just how it sounds "pristine" comes to mind. Pristine being the opposite of the rotten fruit form.

(I'm so fucking excited)

>>27632762
It's also an alternate spelling of bur. Maybe this icy caterpillar is spiky.

>>27631948
Bonene is definitely based on the hawaii state bird, the Nene. Which is a duck of sorts. Don't know where the bo- comes from though

>>27641379
You're probaby right about that. I was getting a turtle vibe from softle as well

At first I thought the fact that Salandit evolves from a tadpole into a newt to be complete bullshit.

Then I read that Salamanders are actually in the same family as newts and grow from tadpoles.

I'm not saying the leaks are legit, but damn did this guy do his research if they are.

>>27631948

Well, I cooked up a handy dandy "leaks" bingo chart if anyone wants to compare them to future things that come out. These do line up well with the usual dex layout and could suggest some towns, cities, and possible Trial Captains/Kahunas, so. We'll have to see.

So since this is supposed to be the entire dex from Rowlet to Magearna, for these to be true we'd need:
>The Chinese leaks or whatever everyone's calling Arrowl, Lucha Tigre, and The Little Furmaid to be officially confirmed by Nintendo, Gamefreak, etc.
>Werewolf evo for Rockruff
>Two evos for Bounsweet (Bounsour doesn't need to be a rotten evo though. It could be a lychee (they look really similar) and those do contain some cyanide.)
>Mime possum
>Easter/Mother Goose themed geese
>Another, maybe version exclusive, Water/Psychic fish. Just going by the name, it should probably be a fish Exeggcute more or less.
>The Normal/??? type Eevee 2.0/Scroedinger's cat that was mentioned in recent leaks
>A water bear on an ice worm for Caterburr/Parkoon. Since they're the only two known "bugs" that live and hibernate in subzero temperatures, if they're confirmed, the whole list may as well be confirmed.
>Evil snowmen
>A true dolphin
>Sea cucumber mon
>Sea anemone with the best name ever
>Pancake turtle (or an actual pancake, but... I hope not)
>Rugby gorilla
>Younger Drampa
>Magician/Familiar/Haunted Tome/Sexy librarian mon
>Hot pepper pokemon
>Psychedelic in a bellbottoms, afros and blacklight posters kind of way mushrooms
>Literal boy scouts
>A water molecule that gets smaller when it evolves. It'll probably have a Ninjask/Shedinja type thing going on.
>Living skyscrapers? Buildings? Sentient junkyards?
>A true yeti
>Fairy dust
>A gargoyle pseudo
>A radioactive space dinosaur pseudo
>And the rest of the legendaries

The only thing is there's a lot - and I mean a LOT - of common fakemon and things that match leaks from several different sources. Doesn't mean it's fake, but that many people can't all be right... right?

>>27644139

OP here. I'm relieved that we don't know the entire dex. This thread was for me to learn some new English words and phrases and you guys delivered. I'm really thankful.

>>27644269
>Fish that turns into a school of fish
>Flattened sandcastle that turns into a bigger sandcastle
I wouldn't write it off just yet.
No, but seriously though, I just checked Serebii right after I posted it. They're fake. I like the new mons though.

>>27644546
This list being fake has literally nothing to do with the legitimacy of the starters.

This list was 'leaked' after the starters were confirmed.

Even though this turned out to be fake at least to some degree, I'm really impressed by the creativity that somebody had in making all these legit sounding names.

>>27645109
Nothing from Corocoro is on the dex, idk why people are even trying to defend it

For sure. They're also more interesting than any of the pokemon we'll actually get.
