Oh dear God. They finally make a red panda Pokemon and it's that ...thing?

"CoroCoro hints that Rowlet, Litten, Popplio and Iwanko all hide a secret" Maybe a reference to Synchro evolution? Can't imagine what else it would refer to. Any thoughts on Magearna's new ability and move: 'Soul Heart' and 'Furuuru Cannon' respectively? Personally, I really like the Koala...

Except there are more than eight planets...

A few reasons why these won't be true: They don't match up with the 'leaked' typings from earlier. Rowlet pretty clearly has kept its flying type, while Popplio doesn't really look like a Fighting type. Of course we don't know that those are true, but if I had to choose between two leaks...

Their typings also suggest Reshiram is red and Zekrom blue. The best evidence of this though is in ORAS, where Zekrom is exclusive to AS along with Dialga, Lugia etc whereas Reshiram is exclusive to Sapphire.

That doesn't really look like a fissure to, me. I've also seen the head pattern described as fishbones, a Kenji character or, most convincingly, the Leviathan's Cross, which is the alchemical symbol for sulfur (and apparently has Wiccan connotations as well). If you want to use those markings...

Yeah absolutely. It's completely possible for Litten to become ground typed. I don't think oils and mythology alone would warrant a Ground typing, but a volcano or dust-explosion theme would. My point is that while they're possible directions, they're not likely. Nothing about Litten in its...

I'm not saying there's obvious evidence ('leaks' aside) that suggest Rowlet will become a burrowing owl, but it's a natural direction for the line to take. Rowlet's already kinda small and chubby; and grass and ground are both 'natural' elements, so I'd say it's an obvious potential design for...

Burrowing owls are a thing. It's completely plausible: in fact, if it weren't for the fact Rowlet's already flying, I'd say it would be the obvious direction to take Rowlet's design. Burrowing cats, on the other hand, are not. The only possible avenue to a Fire/Ground typing for Litten is...

I'm pretty sure Rowlet will be Grass/Ground, so I think it's unlikely we'll have a Fire/Ground starter on top of that. Besides, Litten's link to the Ground type is very tenuous: there's that tuft of fur on its back that kinda sorta makes it look like a volcano if you squint? Pure fire, or a...

Hm, I was thinking that there would be no weather upon switching in. (e.g. a sun sweeper would have to take a turn to set up sunny day or get another Pokemon to do it). But I suppose it doesn't make too much difference either way.

How about weather abilities that make the weather continue indefinitely while the Pokemon is on the field, but removes the weather once withdrawn? This could be used offensively (e.g. a sweeper/staller only has to set up weather once and doesn't need to worry about it running out) or...

Actually that raises an interesting point. While I doubt those images are a mistake or referring to another Pokemon (which doesn't explain the orderings) or Gamefreak trolling us, I agree they don't usually reveal final forms on the website before release. But they did reveal the (awkward...

Check out the leaks thread for that. It's based on very shaky evidence.

I think Venusaur and Blastoise should get another mega, just because of the blatant Charizard-bias. That, or remove MegaZardX and Mega-Mewtwo-X from canon.
