>>28633901
They have to be fake. I can't see them as anything but fake. They don't even look like pokemon designs, which just helps reinforce the reality that they're fake.

Both

>>28633927
I thought that too, but just look at this gen. Look at night form Lugarugan and Ultra Beasts...
And the fact that these leak got so many things backing it up. As much as I hate them, they are most likely real.

Not fake, but gay anyways.

They are too perfect to be fake, the design is pretty well done, fit into the environment and are balance I think :)
But I agree with anon, I wish I got surprised in game.

Not fake considering all the damming evidence.

Pretty much the same as this anon, but truthfully, I just don't give a fuck nor do I know shit about whether they're real or not even though I'm painfully apathetic towards them, I've never even felt like this before, don't ask me why, even though from the first form starters, I like Popplio the most even though I had interest on Rowlett at first, but then grew attached to Popplio because he looks adorable and I thought it'd be awesome for it to grow big and strong but still looking kinda cuddly but threatening at the same time. I don't know, maybe I expected something similar to Typhlosion or Feraligatr in a way except maybe not THAT simplistic, but still nice looking and friendly while keeping that threatening look to it, I didn't even consider any theme for the pup.

Point blank the truth is it is mallow and the leaks came from someone with insider information, but the starter evolutions themselves are fake. I know this for a fact and I found the wool over /vp/s eyes hilarious for the first month but it has gotten old. Accept the fact that these fanart starters are better than what you are actually getting and move on with your lives.

Almost certainly real.

>>28633901

Can we stop having these denialfag and leakfag battle ground threads?

>>28634591
True, but ai consider that to be least likely just because of bow complicated that whole process seems.

Like really? Going out of your way and making 3 pieces of concept art, just to squeeze Mallow in in a tiny and forgettable spot on the most disliked design out of all 3?

Why not just leak Mallow? It doesn't even have to be her exactly. Just have some resemblance to her.

But Like I said to complex and convoluted.

>>28634694
As soon as Nintendo releases at least mid evos the starters. I'm afraid not.

>>28633901
If Entermaid isn't real, I'll fucking weep. It's probably the only thing I'm hoping is real.

>>28634591

We've already had leaks that wounded up only half true, what are the chances of the concept art leak actually being a elaborate half-truth?

>Would indeed confirm Mallow's presence in the upcoming games and anime
>But final evos somehow turn out to be fake?

Why go through so much trouble just for a fake. I'd believe this to be more of a elaborate ruse by Game Freak rather than than this being a half-truth from someone who just so happened to find out about Mallow because, how on earth would someone even find out about Mallow herself. Unless it turned out to be someone who actually got to see a glimpse of the anime poster, which does indeed show Mallow in a rather important light and then just decided to go "what if I made a elaborate starter evolution ruse with this girl" and drew these guys, I'm just not seeing it. There's that possibility, but at the same time, it's a really insane one.

I don't want to jump to that conclusion, but at the same time, I'm just wondering about all the possibilities that could have made these events happen. We barely know from where the concept art even came from, it was simply dropped here of all places, but from certain details, we're to assume this comes from the anime production. The thing is, from where did this anon get this concept art from, that's what I'd like to know.

>>28634712
Yup it all would make zero sense. Why make fake starter sheets where the starters are the main focus of the sheets just to leak Mallow? I know someone will disagree but these have to be early designs at best. At least some gamefreak artist drew them.

>>28634712

I agree, it's some serious mental gymnastics to avoid the simple, logical conclusion.

I don't know what's worse, denying that it's mallow or accepting that it's mallow but still denying the validity of the leak anyway.

Does anyone actually believe they are fake? Come on, be honest to yourselves.

>>28634897
This.
Most that bring up "Mallow is real but the starters are fake" are just baiting for (You)'s. I mean I don't like the leaks either but if there is enough evidence to proof that these come from some gamfreak artist I won't deny that.

>>28634438

>>28634466
>Nobody made fan made evolutions of them as a wrestler, archer and mermaid BECAUSE that would be generic and boring.
No, Anon, nobody made fan-made evolutions of them as such because nobody is creative enough to even do so. Nobody seems to understand Pokemon design enough to create anything actually worthwhile.

Anything most people seem to create ends up barely enough to be considered a 'final starter evolution'. Anything most people come up with ends up grossly boring and uninspired, and lacks any actual spark in the design.

You know, I'm still wondering about the "distribution" of sketches...
Robinhoot has 2 for depicting his theme (The arrow shot, and the "Close hood" thing). Poppomaid has, what, 1, that being the singing shot.
Meanwhile, Luchalitten has a total of 5 (The belt, the teapot, the "Smash pikachu with the table", the "Lift Machoke(?) up", and the "Spin unidentified pokemon around").
Why is that? It doesn't have any relevance towards whether they are real or fake, but it bothers me, why is Poppomaid sketch so "barren" compared to Luchalitten?
(And if you show one starter final form interacting with characters, why not the rest?)

>>28635258
Turtwig learns Withdraw, a move that is almost exclusively learned only by Water types (12 water types learn it, 4 non-water types do excluding the Turtwig line). It didn't make Turtwig a water type.

Chimchar also gets Acrobatics from level up, a flying move that is learned by only 3 non-flying types via level up (not including the Chimchar line) but 15 flying types. Chimchar didn't become a flying type.

>>28634691
Starters are confirmed because Money.

>>28637176
But why does Turtwig learn Withdraw, and Chimchar Acrobatics? Because they fit their theme. Which is why Poppolio learning Disarming Voice and having Sing in the TCG as its first attack are worrying people. Simple as that.

you could connect it to literally anything. The coin picture I posted. It's vague now, but it'll probably be connected to something in the future. It'll become "pretty fucking obvious".

I'm confused. Are there people who legitimately look at Mallow and think that isn't absolute proof of these leaks? Do they think someone just happened to know about Mallow, and just happened to be a great artist who could mimic the Pokemon style perfectly, and made 3 designs just for the hell of it? Do they think the Chinese leaker and the riddler, both almost certainly legit leakers, are lying?

How could you have multiple confirmations of a leak and still think it's fake? Or are they all just trolls?

Might be two forms like Lugarugan, and as such occupy the same spot

>>28640254
I hope you understand that argument was flawed from the beginning. You were comparing art from the leaks that it's probably not even the official art and those models for the dex, they have different posses then the oficial art. I was laughing so much back then whenever I was seeing others do those comparisons knowing how stupid they were.

>>28640254

How did you disprove these anon?

Because this was one of the dumbest arguments against them.

>>28640447
Using leakfag tactics against them. Get creative anon, your denial is showing.

They are fake and nothing can convince me otherwise.

Is it even possible to say these are fake? This leaked both Ash's design and a new character nearly 2 months before they were officially revealed. Yes they're absolute garbage (the Grass type is somewhat decent) but can we stop the denial now please? We literally have proof now.

>>28634135
>thy look like they are aimed to please little children.

yeah no shit sherlock. of course a kid's franchise wants designs that appeal to kids.

Wait and fucking see.

I hope they're real, though.

>>28640651
Yes i can. These are fake as fuck you leakfags can fuck yourselves.

>>28633901
Fake.
They lack real names. They're just called Litten3, Rowlet3, and Popplio3. If these were finalized reference sheets, the real names for the Pokemon would be on them somewhere.
Why is the resolution so poor, too?

>>28641280
Because Money.

>>28633901

Fake but maybe it's only wishful thinking. Honestly I never found Starter designs to be bad. Not even Samurott. But these are the first I'd call downright ugly.
Which sucks because the first stages are actually one of my favorites

>>28641280
Reminder that according to Masahiro Sakurai, Greninja's design was finalized and chosen for Smash Bros long before it even had a name.

>>28640729
>This leaked both Ash's design

Not exactly.

Almost everyone and their mother already knew Ash was going to have at least clothes very similar to the male MC in the upcoming games. And the Ash portrayed in the concept art is missing minor details (like shirt stripes, the hat symbol is very arguable since Ash already had so many fucking hats with a poke ball in them, this one shouldn't be any different and this case, it just resembles, although not to a T).

Actually, come to think about it, it's very hard to see whether Ash is even wearing shorts, his legs seem cropped due to Litten3's size and him just so happening to be behind him. If I were to take a quick glance at it, I'd just assume him to be wearing parts. Still, tiny sketches.

The only thing this confirmed was Mallow herself, Ash and Pikachu were already a easy guess.

>>28634135

I will just not evolve my Rowlet. Rowlet is so cute and perfect I don't want him to turn into a shitty archer.
Fuck why couldn't he just turn into a cool, elegant Owl with a tophat?

>>28641341

not sure how that happened

Here's Greninja's concept art.
On the bottom left is it's Japanese name.

>>28641386
XY came out October 2013, but Greninja's visual design was finalized and chosen for Smash long before that. It still didn't have a name, though.

>>28641386
You really think the date has to do with anything ? They xan be as cheap as they want to, we have zero idea as to what really happenes behind the doors so that really can't be used as a solid argument.

>Japanese name.
Professional Names
not abominations like that

>>28641409
You do realize that's probably not the first concept art they made, right ?
Designs go through dozens of different iterations and sheets, this IS the finalized one, so of course there's the name.

>>28641343

Take a fucking look at some of the sketches of Litten3 doing wrestling moves.

Where are its stripes?

>>28641409
So you saying Sakurai lied?
Or more likely, seeing as that concept art is all rendered and clean, the name was added after the fact.

>>28641477
It's meant to show it going through the motions, adding the extraneous details isn't needed. It's why they didn't wait for Ash's final hat design.

>>28641477

Isn't he being engulfed in flames/fire though while doing those? (At least, that's what the color seems to imply) Although I can't deny, he doesn't happen to have them.

>there are people who are still skeptical about the starters
You faggots are worse than denialfags.

I fully expect these starters to be real, making it the 3rd consecutive gen where I immediately box the starter and use the route 1 shitbuge as a replacement.

>>28641572

Which is my point

>>28641341
>"t-they did it once!"
>"therefore they will do it again for every design from now on!"

>>28641321
>Samurott
>better designed than these

Wew lad.

>>28641746

It's not my favorite but it's definitely better than any of these literal pieces of shit

>>28641851

In fact I wish Popplio would evolve into Samurott instead of Popmaid

I'm glad you're not in charge of Pokemon design.

>>28633901
Legit, i want to use that owl.
If fake, those are the most credible fakes i've ever seen

>>28641911

It wasn't even clear he had a sword til the 3d pokedex came out.

These are totally real, although there might be 2 forms. There's no way some dweeb came up with these designs, from a conceptual standpoint.

>>28633901
99% chance they are from Game Freak
~70% chance they represent what we'll get in the final game
~50% they're the actual designs.

Anyone saying "there's no way they are real" is an idiot, anyone saying "there's no way they aren't real" is also an idiot.

>>28641716
Actually what I am trying to imply is the naming process occurs long after the visual design process

I don't hate Samurott or anything, but you can't tell me it looks better than these with it has the most awkward body and posture. The designer of it had artist's block and it shows.

>>28636065
Braixens Pokken Tournament animation has a lot to say about that

>>28634291
>Point blank the truth is it is mallow and the leaks came from someone with insider information, but the starter evolutions themselves are fake.
Okay, please provide evidence to back up this assertion.

>>28637350
>The same fucked up cartoony sausage fingers,
I grant the rest, but I have to disagree on this point. He may have weird curled up hands, but he in no way shares the sausage baloo fingers of Tora3.

>>28639974
>>28640203
He's right though, I've been called an idiot many times for merely pointing out possibilities.

If I really have to choose I say real. I'm fine either way since I'm going with Rowlet and Robinroot doesn't look that bad but if fake I hope the real one is not worse.
If the dual evolution leak is also real I hope is day/night and not version dependant.

>>28641582
>People who are skeptical about things that aren't confirmed are worse than people who outright deny evidence
How do you figure, anon?

>>28642888
so, how did not recieve the C&D Lawsuit yet.

>>28637037
And you're telling me Litten3 doesn't resemble Lucario or Zoroark?

Basically, at this point in the game series, anything can happen. They've obviously, repeatedly, changed their art styles over the years.

>>28643761
It's not like the guy who posted them on /vp/ has an account or email tied to that post for them to send a C&D to

>>28643782
Not to mention Ohmura is finalizing most of the monster designs this time instead of Sugi always doing it like before

>>28643761
>so, how did not recieve the C&D Lawsuit yet.
Can you rephrase that in a full sentence with proper punctuation please?

>>28643811
Yes,
THE LEAKS ARE FUCKING FAKE.

>>28643832
Based on what, exactly?
How are you able to make this statement with such certainty?

>>28633901
It seems legit, but desu, the designs don't excite me. Especially Luchalitten's.

The Dark-typing may be new, but its appearance screams "Fire-Fighting." Not much difference with the trifecta of Fire-Fighting starters we had before.
