So it seems that someone managed to go to Skytree with some fanart of the starter evos, and managed to get Junichi Masuda to sign it.

What was the person who drew that trying to accomplish? But it is pretty FUNNY, and low-key kinda rude.

Masuda already knows they are leaked and doesn't seem to care about it. He's just being polite by signing it for the fan.
Either that or secretly in his mind he's like "just wait, you lot have a surprise coming" :cool:

Masuda probably thinks, good that they are interested in our secret leaks, wait for their stats,abilities, movepool and Z-moves.

That absolute madman.
I don't know, to me it seems somewhat lacking in tact on the fan's part. Props to Masuda for being a good sport about it, though.
At this point he's likely already accepted the leaks. Plus from Masuda's point of view, the fan who drew the final forms for him loves their designs, idiotic and rude a decision as it seems to us.

That's why in my listings I included the Aristotle pokémon as the "Soul Star Chakra" pokémon. Which would be close to what you describe as "the spiritual and soulful essence of life present in all matter".
While Zygarde represents the "Earth Star Chackra" energies, which are our connections to the planet and other things living in it, plus our memories of past lives, etc., this other pokémon would stand on the opposite side of the scale as the "Soul Star Chakra", the way to connect to our divine soul, and then access the Stellar, Universal and Cosmic Gateways, which I suspect are connected to those wormholes we keep seeing. That's why I say this Aristotle pokémon would be the "Soul Star Chakra" pokémon and why the Riddler put it before the Ultra Beasts, but connected to them.

My theory connects Marshadow to either the Icosahedron or the Cube, and I specifically said it can't be Air related because of Diancie, which is the Octahedron for sure.
Basically, the mythicals they introduced so far are the Platonic Solids to me, and draw from their traits and other concepts associated to them such as elements and chackras.
So far I think we have the layout I recently described in this diagram (but I now think the UBs are the only ones that are planets, forget the "legendary planets" for a while):

View: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49EJ4ADuYLYV3hGMkdQRFVKWWc/view?usp=sharing


So basically, I think we are in agreement that there's some sort of counterpart to Zygarde here, but you say it's Marshadow, which I disagree with and relegate to Mythical Platonic Solid status, you see?

Besides that, I think the Tapus are the actual representations of the 4 elements, since we already saw upside triangle ciphers for Water and maybe Earth in both Tapu Koko's battle background and in this latest trailer behind Olivia in the entrance to another one of the Tapu's lairs.
If my other theory about that Fire pokémon the Riddler added now is right, then it could be Pele, the goddess of Fire, which has legends in Hawaii about her family guarding the Sacred Fire (Secret Fire of Alchemy basically), so she could act as a leader of the Tapus, and essentially represent Aether.



Ah, for me, I thought 50% form is based on Jörmungandr, and it's an example of the Ouroborus, which represents infinity and immortality, not to say, it also happens that the Ouroboros has a connection with alchemy as well. The idea of the beginning and the end as being a continuous unending principle. This concept might be shown off in battle with it's transforming when it's health reaches 50% or below, when you switch it out, it reverts back to its original form and you can start the process again. Well, that was my guess on how it's ability works

How does Complete Zygarde fit into this? Not only is it's based off of Hel, but it's design still gains many aspects that were found in the 50% form, such as the chest-plate eyes, a tail, the red and blue appendages forms into snakes, and it's cry sounds like a higher pitched version of 50% form in the Sun and Moon trailers. Also, there is a reason why in Japan it's called "Perfect Zygarde". The crown-like head is mostly the main control of the whole body. It has some sort of a third hexagonal shaped eye while the other two eyes don't have any pupils. It's as if 50% transformed into a perfect, ascended form. Even if the dog can transform into this, it felt better that 50% can transform.

An italian youtuber showed this pic in a video,and he said that he got a pic from one of is followers saying that this pic got quickly deleted from 4Chan,and the chat was on the video (sorry if this image is cropped,but other chat with names were on the screen so...i did this for privacy :c).

But the style...it's the SAME of the final leaked evolution

It is fake. The numbers 2144, 2708, 700?, 2117 are same from Popmaid3's original leak, as well as the other Japanese text.
The photoshopper simply removed Popmaid3's design and inserted his own in a similar style. Very clever, but it is not the work of official Gamefreak.

The Japanese looks really blurry though... if it even is any Japanese at all.

Yep it is good, extremely creative and well designed. I wouldn't mind having a final evo like that at all :) No one is saying it is bad. It's just fake.
And thanks for the effort of posting it here. Stuff like this really gets some creative juices flowing ^_^

So about those boxarts...

https://smashboards.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi.********%2Fvp%2F1476571627749.png&hash=ecb07b933f5bdae3bfa50857aaf6ba30

Possible fakes.

I legitimately think that the fact that Popplio's foot goes over one of the boxes might be a genuine oversight in design, I believe the reasoning for the different layering is that they made pokemon Moon's box art first, then they made pokemon sun's and because Lycanroc midday form is wider and would have covered Tortunator they had to change the layering of all the screenshot boxes, causing it to move OVER popplio as opposed to being behind popplio.

If you look carefully the exactly same thing happens with litten's paw, its consistent in layering depending on which boxart it is, In pokemon Moon the layering is the screenshots in the back and the pokemon in the front, in pokemon sun it is that the screenshots are in the front and the pokemon are in the back.

I honestly think its just a small oversight, so minor there was no need to change it cause it looks good either way.

To say the least. It's a very creative one and nearly mimics the official style well. Even though it's fake, they did a pretty good job on it. Thanks for sharing it, as it was certainly a nice-looking piece.
