Where did the RootHoot grass owl thing originate? How did it

>>31460623
Someone tried to leak fake Gen 7 starters, and then drove Roothoot into the dirt and shoved it in our faces because "oh the actual starter was a grass owl this is just the second evolution"

The Japanese starter names leaked beforehand and Rowlet's translated to tree owl or something, intensifying the hype

Do we know who the original artist is?

The Grass owl starter has been a meme for a long time.

Memes that become powerful enough can warp reality.

This is the actual answer OP. We knew the japanese starter names before a lot of other things, and Roothoot and co. were """leaks""" based on "knowing" what the starters were. Cubble and Finpip are the other two, if I remember correctly.

Newfags. Roothoot predates the trademarks. Stop trying to act like you know what you're talking about. There's a reason why people tried shoehorning Cubble as a cat rather than just draw a fucking cat.
