I think they look real enough.
Also, even if they are not real (I mean is there any doubt?), like, the magazine scan already told us that Sobble is indeed evolving, so what's their point here?
Telling the truth I'm not really that knowledgeable with Japanese onomatopoeias, so I checked jisho.org just to be sure:

I mean, to be slightly fair, the anime is often pretty inaccurate when depicting Pokemon heights: there's plenty of Pokemon that are depicted as being bigger or smaller than they actually are in-game. Sometimes this is fairly subtle, such as Eevee being 1'04" in the anime (the same size as Pikachu) when in reality it should be four inches smaller (the same size as Pichu), but other times it can get really egregious, such as Roselia being roughly 3 feet tall when in the games its size is only a third of that. Or Charizard, which the anime consistently depicts as around the same size as Dragonite (about 7 feet tall) when in the games (barring Alola's ride Charizard) it's only about the size of the average human adult, and shorter than most human males. Lucario and Riolu are likewise not the sizes they should be: in the anime, Ash's Lucario seems to be around the same height as Goh's Cinderace or perhaps a couple inches shorter at most, but according to the games, Cinderace should be roughly a head and shoulders taller than Lucario (Lucario is only 3'11" tall in the games). Riolu meanwhile is often depicted to be around 1'08" tall when its given size in the games is 2'07".
Wow that is worse lol
Quite a bit taller than Cinderace, eh?
That too, but I am more shocked they spoiled getting him InteleonQuite a bit taller than Cinderace, eh?
