New leaks from 4chan, probably aren't the starters, look very interesting.

 

[Laice]

Won't lie I like the Mc design

 

[dvor]

The water/flying ones freaks me out

 

[Silktree]

I was thinking about the lapras picture. How can we see submerged tentacool and magikarp in the water, but our ride lapras' fins are not visable in the water? The water is either semi transparent or not. This could be because its in alpga/beta and still being worked on, or its fake.

But we can only see their heads, or tail in Gyarados' case. They seem to have floated up as a reaction to Lapras.

 

[Thanos]

Yep, they're fake, those legendaries ruined it.
I won't lie, but those protagonists characters were awesome.

It looks like one of those water birds with the really long toes- I think for standing on lily pads?

EDIT: Jacanas, that’s what they’re called. This is a baby one

Doesn’t really have those freaky proportions though, looking at it again- it would be a little more distinctive if it did

One of those legendaries is giving me Miss universe 2013 flashback ... Miss USA... I Choose u!

The cow is so derpy, I love it!

 

[Plubio]

You tried.
Next.

EDIT: Fire one is called "Moofire" I'm bursting

Yeah it could be that its just some parts sticking out of the water. Its just so hard to tell one way or the other due to the blur

 

[Pyrax]

Awfully suspicious to leak something on April Fools of all days. That cow is my favourite of the bunch though - I've always wanted a minotaur Pokémon. The MCs are decent, but recent MC designs have been more expressive than just smiling.

 

[Lauralegal]

So the international Pokemon account on twitter posted this 2 hours ago, at first I thought it was fake but it is from their account

It's fake. The official Twitter of Pokémon Company is @pokemon, but this is @FolagoR.

The trailer got leaked!!

Honestly, that's a seriously impressive April Fools! I love the graphics and logo design!

New leaks from 4chan, probably aren't the starters, look very interesting.

These have some very fun designs, and honestly, I think I'd consider them the most believable so far. The leaker isn't coming up with any elaborate story behind the pictures-just sharing them as they are.

At the same time, there's a few things I'm finding suspicious.

Spoiler

These legendaries, as awesome as their designs are, strike me as very odd. They have those clocks in their background, and appear to have a past/future theme-but why would we get more time-based legendaries after Celebi and Dialga? Isn't that a bit much?

I also find it very bizarre that this would be all that would appear on concept art. Generally, concept art is used to finalize a visual design, and figure out how the design would move. (We did see this with the SuMo starters, after all-their pages were full of multiple poses and actions) So why a page with only one pose and an incredibly distracting (though very cool) background? You can barely see the future legendary's limbs.

And the main characters' sheet seems rather odd as well:

Spoiler

https://i.********/vp/1522596481635.jpg

Like the legendaries, these only have one pose shown. (You can't even see if there's any logo on the boy's jacket) And unlike the legendaries, there's not really any reason not to include more on the page-there's tons of blank space.


Something else that could go either way-the "CONFIDENTIAL" stamp on these sheets does match the one we saw on the SuMo starter leaks.

Spoiler

But at the same time-isn't it possible that this stamp made its way into the photos because it was something previously seen?

 

[TrainerJaren]

From now on,only trust leaks stamped with (Public Information) instead of Confidential.

 

[dCraw]

Oh man those starters look so bad! Clearly they are not made by the same artist of the other art shown in that leak.

 

[Fairy Type Arceus]

Watch someone leak legit info we won't believe because it's april fools xD
