Can anyone please find me a link to the source of this pic? I do not know whether or not this has been proven fake. Have heard from recent Ruffledrowlit video that this was done by Sifyro, however I can't find it in the Twitter account.

If it hasn't then this could be real untio proven fake.

Well, apparently the Japanese is kinda weird according to this, so I think it's possibly fake.

or a typo. I'm English and even I get my own English messed up sometimes.

Actually... Mohawk seems pretty much accurate compaired to what this twitter thinks.

I don't think it looks bad, but it looks so....unfinished. Like this doesn't stand out as a "final form" to me.

Yeah, but how often do people make typos in professional art, and with nobody correcting them?

I just realised that the twitter person is wrong, and that what he was referring to of Mohawk is pretty much accurate to translation.

I’m pretty sure PokeStarmie actually speaks Japanese. Google translate is very literal and does not account for contextual changes in language (formal vs informal, idioms, etc.). If every piece of Japanese text from the leak could easily be fed back and forth through google translate that’s actually pretty telling to me that it’s fake.

I've just twitted her and waiting for reply.

Pretty sure that tweet's just about the movie...

Ofc it is but I thought it was pretty neat.
He's lamenting how complicated the armor is lol

Man I thought this one was disproven already. Doesn't appear to be Sifyro's artwork, though- unless she reeeally hated it and deleted all traces of it from her accounts.

I'll say that the art isn't bad but it... lacks a lot of shading. I feel like that behind image should have been shaded. And parts of images are cut off around the edges, which is an odd choice for a reference sheet.

People used to say the same thing with the Final Evolution Confirmation Sheets for Gen 7, people hate it because it isn't Ken's style, when it was later proven to be real.

This does have a likely feel, and even so, if it is proven fake, then this is the closest of being like real. But then, after Gen 7, it is to be expected of fake leaks. A Twitter reply to what I've written told me to not trust Google with translations, which is odd because some of the time I thought they were accuate.

I just want Galar forms for Johto and Sinnoh Pokemon only. The reason is assuming we get Sinnoh remakes it would make the most sense. The issue about Megas is almost every Gen minus 1 and 3 were cheated so if we do region forms for the pokemon in the remakes and they are up front about it it just makes it less ugh. I mean they kinda did for Gen 6 since Gen 3 got remakes but Kanto should have been Kalos focus. Giving the starters megas would have made sense for example.

Region Forms was probably a one off because of Gen 1's 20th Anniversary. It makes sense because of Darwin's Theory based on the Galapagos Islands.

I might I would agree if they kept the term alola forms but they changed it to regional forms making it sound like it is a possible recurring thing. Not saying it will be for sure but if not changing the term seems...well odd.

Yeah. I don't think that they would create an umbrella term for regional variants if only one region has them.

 

[godiego]

the art is well done for that Grookey3 leak, but it definitely reads as fake to me

??? That's... not remotely what I said, though.

But that said, there are definitely art choices there that make me suspect that it's fake.

 

[Lunala]

Isn't that art that was found a fair bit ago? If I recall, people linked to it here, but nobody bothered to ask if it was real then.

Then again, maybe it's new. So much fanart looks almost the same to it that it's hard to distinguish.

The fanart isn't very creative, I guess.
