If the toucan Pokemon ends up being Normal/Flying, could this possibly mean that Pikipek will end up being Steel/Flying? I don't want to see two Normal/Flying birds in the game.

Why not? We survived both Pidgeot and Fearow in Gen I.

I do feel like it's different now though gen 1 was the first and only game... Since then we got new types, mechanics, moves, Pokemon. I don't really want just another normal flying line either! I feel like it would be cooler to have different combos

There was also Unfezant and Braviary in Gen 5. I don't think that a second Normal/Flying Pokémon in this generation automatically guarantees a Steel/Flying final form of Pikipek.

I assumed pikipek would turn to steel. maybe if the toucan is real surely they would pick something other than grass for it. I don't want it to be grass/flying.

True I don't think it will be steel but I do hope it's not normal flying. I would really like another fairy flying or pure flying!

Any particular reason why people (and many leaks for that matter) think pikipek will be flying/steel? Is it just because of the flavor text mentioning it can shatter rock?

Mainly because Talonflame became Fire/Flying in Gen 6 which in my opinion made people have expectations that this generation will also give the regional bird a new dual typing besides Normal/Flying.

Looking at it now it also looks like the models used seem to be in the style of the Sun and Moon anime, particularly Litten 3 seems to have a looser design to it fitting the more flexible style.

That's because Riddler didn't say that. That's part of someone else's fake leak he apparently reposted for unknown reasons.
Yeah plus that 4chan "leak" listed some Alolan Forms which some are deconfirmed from the Riddlers updated form list so it's safe to say most of it is fake the things I find likely from this which might be why the riddler leaker repost this is probably the Z-forms(probably), Jangmo-o(easy guess), uncatchable UB(easy guess) and maybe the Battle Frontier(Anabel pic?).

Guys, can you assure me something quick?

Please tell me that that leaf fan doesn't resemble a baseball mitt.
Because some people are actually trying to argue that that fan could have been mistaken for a baseball mitt by the leaker, and I feel like a crazy person trying to tell them how absolutely disproved that particular leak is.

I mean, what kind of an actual human being looks both at Passimian and Oranguru, saying "Nuh-uh, this sporty monkey Pokemon definitely has nothing to do with rugby, but I can see that this orangutan is the monkey the Chinese leak was talking about, even though it has what I believe is a baseball mitt even though it is green and held and not worn and this ape looks nothing like a baseball player and a leaf fan is a trope that have existed for decades".
Yeah, it's not a mitt. It's a fan. If it were a baseball mitt, it would be over Oranguru's hand. Besides, baseball mitts don't have handles. And it looks like Oranguru is holding on to this fan by a handle of some stripe.

If push comes to shove, post a pic of an actual baseball mitt. That should clear it all up. But yeah, this kinda kills the credibility of that particular leak.

Funny enough a lot of people think Mallow is the only part of that leak that's real.
But... why? Those images were out long before we saw Mallow. There's a possibility those were just the beta designs of the starter evos or something, sure, and they've changed since then. But the source is legit.

(Though one thing I will say, I often see stuff like "this leak is too elaborate to be fake," and that's silly. Generation after generation, it seems like the most elaborate leaks tend to be fake. Going back to Gen IV I remember full Pokedex "leaks" that ended up being fake. But there's no reason to believe the starer leaks aren't real, or that at least they don't come from a legit source.)

I just realized something. Surf is still in the games despite ride pokemon. Wasn't there a leak that mention HMs are optional in this game?
