Not to mention ever since last gen a lot of people myself included thar have been calling the meowstics "split evolutions" even though they're gender specific forms.

I mean when you have a big enough difference like the meowstics and lycathrocs stats and movepools they might as well be split evolutions.

If that isnt enough cause for the subcontinous switch out, then take "evolution" being in "mega evolutions" name. But we all know those are temporary forms. At least things like lycathroc and meowstic are permanent. It's also not like people are calling wishywashy's school form an evolution now that a reasonable translation has been out.

lol I'm gonna disagree with you here. Meowstic's male and female forms are very much the same pokemon with some slightly different fur shapes and notably different color patterns. i.e. it's very reasonable sexual dimorphism.

Lycanroc's two forms are so anatomically different, it almost makes me mad they aren't different pokemon lol

Actually only it's front paws are bigger, and it stands on two legs. Other than that they have the same body type.

That doesn't even remotely look official. The art quality's too bad for Sugimori concept art, it's completely off model in every drawing. I like the design, though.

the eyes are buggish (too far apart) and the arms stick out from the middle of its body! XD

@GojiWright #1,4 are already known???? 4 was revealed at the E3 (it wasn't announced but it was on screen )

5- logical guess though could be wrong (pretty safe guess). It would make more sense to have Comfey evolve in to something, rather than from

2 - doesn't make much sense because they're including characters from XY...
3 - fan service (I think there might be more around 100)

6 - safe; building off the alleged chinese leak
7 - fun one but seems overwhelming
8- IDK about that one either seems like a crap shoot (59 is a reasonable number)
9- fun idea; doubt it would happen
10-??? But it does seem safe to guess other characters are from other regions now that the two of Sycamore's assistants are confirmed
11-???
12-mega evolution fan service
13 - fan service since gen 5 and 2 pokes received the fewest megas
14- complete shot in the dark though at a reasonable number

My conclusion: fake. #2 gave it away

I read through it all, thinking that it seemed plausible. But then I saw Alolan Fearow. >_<

The Riddler disproved Alolan Fearow.

Chandelure-like Pokemon with a three-stage evolution line exist
So basically Chandleure?

Guzma and Kukui are brothers but only Guzma is aware of it.
This just seems like way too much familial drama for a Pokemon game, and where would this even fit into the plot?!

*sigh* it's like they're not even trying anymore

I like how the leaker posted common knowledge to make the leak seem credible.

"Sun and Moon is releasing internationally on th 18th, but in the UK on the 23rd", "Pikipek has a family of three birds". #mockingtone :p

I definitely think that "leak" is fake but like... "Out of these set 127 new Pokemon, 59 will not be revealed until the game’s release." Would they reveal that many Pokemon? Like, that's well over half. I don't remember them doing that for any previous generation. Am I wrong here?

Also, "Solgaleo and Lunaala are not the main legendaries of the game." There hasn't been a box legendary that wasn't the main legendary of the game. And they're called SUN and MOON. I know this game seems weird, but I dunno. It's not THAT weird.

I do kinda like that the nutso plot of Su/Mo is causing ridiculous fake leaks though. Aim for the sky, kids!

-Sampson Oak is the Hakuna of the Forbidden Island and owns one of the Island Guardians.
-The Hakuna from the Ice Mountain Island is someone from the Kalos region.
-The Hakuna for the island to the right of MeleMele Island is someone from the Sinnoh region.

First of, what is Hakuna by the way?

-All Alolan forms pertain to Pokemon from the Kalos region. Although, there are three ‘special’ Pokemon that are not from the Kalos region which will also receive Alolan Forms.

Man, I dunno what to say. Either they're really sleepy (or maybe drunk?) when they're writing this or it's intentional.

Guessing they misspelled Kahuna

We literally got at least one member of the new Pokemon lines in Gen VI

I think the leak is fake, too. But XY's pre-release showed at least 39 of the 72 Pokemon they introduced.

They also gave us every single Mega from ORAS. (I only remember the latter because we datamined the demo and didn't see any new Megas. We were sure they were probably excluded from the demo because we didn't think they'd be dumb enough to blow their whole Mega load before the games came out.)
