Oh man I like those. Even if they're fake they are really, really well designed!

Spoiler: Also I found this

If this turned out to be real... fuck yeah another pokemon that looks judgmental as hell! I love it! Put it and Tucannon on my team right now.

Cute as hell
yes please

The Scorbunny evo looks too close to a lost member of the Swords of Justice than like a hare.

The eeveelutions look a lot more legit than it does.

Oh, so that's why the design looked so familiar...

The moment I saw it I honestly thought it was a Cobalion recolor until i noticed it running more like a hare instead of a deer.

Flying type kinda looks like it was a fusion of leafeon and shiny sylveon.

I think whoever designed it, made it after that pokemon banner in one of the stadiums

That’s possible. I figured that the stadium banner Pokémon was the sword wolf, but I guess it could be Scorbunny’s final form too

I never believed it was the legendary either. I just thought it's one of the new regular pokemon in Galar

Well, in ORAS defense, that was to make it compatible with XY, which is the same reason a Battle Frontier was added to Johto in Gen IV.

True. But there were plenty of ways to circumvent this issue if they really wanted to. They could've simply retconned the Battle Tower to feature the 4 Battle Chatelaines instead of Anabel, and leave the rest of the Frontier as it is.

Not entirely correct.

Ohmori. The king of trolling.

Not really what we wonder eevee evolution?
maybe real leak or fake leak.

Could be. It does look very jagged though, which is why I thought it could be the sword legend (reread my post please, I do believe it could be the legendary).

*rumour. The word leak means it’s legitimate information. Until we have official confirmation of them, it’s a rumour, not a leak. I doubt we’re getting starter evolutions or armour evolutions next month though, so that part is probably true.

 

[Ambrose7]

I want that flying eeveelution This is the worst thing about good fake leaks. So much regret.

 

[William-Jdubz]

Pokesirena and many others have pointed out there’s a lot of grammar mistakes with the Japanese text in the eevee evolution concepts sadly, mistakes that Gamefreak don’t make professionally.

I really love these concepts, they are so sleek and beautiful.

 

[Silktree]

Kill that beady-eyed Sky Forme Sylveon with fire.

 

[VelVoxelRaptor]

The Eevee Art May not be real, but it’s still possible that we will be getting an eeveelution or two in the next news batch.

Sylveon was the first thing revealed in X/Y after the first trailer iirc.

And they don’t have to mention the “gimmick” it’s used to show off like how they kept Fairy type a secret for a while.

Also every even number generation has had an eeveelution so far. If the armor gimmick is real, they could be used to show it off, one sword, the other shield, or something like that.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

I’m still betting we’ll see the legends, and fleshed out entries on our starter. The Sun/Moon website had an entire page’s worth of information on the new Pokemon, which is a lot compared to SS’s single Pokédex-like entry.

We already know that the Gym Masters term is next in line because it wouldn’t be on their tweet schedule if it were to be revealed significantly later.

In SM, while the cover legendaries were revealed earlier than this, the actual trailer regarding their types and special moves wasn't shown until.... June.

I hope we don't have to wait that long for the cover legendaries reveal for this generation, but it's a possibility.

 

[Boss1708]

I am mainly interested in seeing more footage of the Galar Region, and some more regular Pokémon species revealed.

 

[nickdt]

That Steel Eeveelution looks cool. Don't think its real though, mainly because the head and eyestyle similair look to Glaceons, while the other one looks to much like Sylveon to be believable. They are good done fakes, i have to give credit for that. But if they turn out to be real, i am not gonna complain and then i already know my second party member after Sobble.

 

[Ambrose7]

Kill that beady-eyed Sky Forme Sylveon with fire.

No! Protec

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

NOO

Seriously though, Leafeon and Espeon have similar eyes. Most of the others do too, but they’re black and not coloured.
