The final evolution of Scorbunny looks great, it's the best Fire starter final evo ever. As for the other two, I'm sure they'll appeal to others.
 
Since, for some reason, I didn't find these posted here, I'll go ahead and post them.
SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This wasn’t a datamine; datamines are when someone gets the game and hacks into its files so they see all of the data. These are just leaked guidebook pictures and, tbh, it’s seeming pretty likely that they’re real.
Some yes but some could be faked.
Maybe typings could be false? We need in game trailers. Gorilla looks grass/dark or grass/steel drummer, lizard water/ghost or water/poison ,cinder would suggest steel or electric typing. Mono dont make sense too much gen 2... The designs are cool, but why wrong names with wrong pokemon? Also grookeys secondary has game images that dont match its other pics

My opinion after the allegedly final evolutions remained the same: Scorbunny->Grookey->Sobble; although Grookey gained some grounds, and given the possible others Fire Pokèmon shown, if it wasn't mono Grass I migh've seriously considered a switch.

It’s pretty likely that the types are real at this point. If you want to believe otherwise you’re more than welcome but I think you’re going to be disappointed.

Why their names not match the pokemon? Why sprites in game not match the ones from book? Grookey?
 
Their Backgrounds change weird. On serebii net they alredy think they are fake. Some maybe true but not all.
 
I'm at the moment just curious to see what explanation they'll give to the gorilla's stick and drum, namely the fact that the stick in rounded and would need work (perhaps Darwin is involved). :sneaky:
Sobbl'e evolution seems out of Starfox.

Intelleon: "I am the GREAT LEON!"
 
Grookey, I’m so sorry but I think I might end up joining Team Scorbunny. It’s not you, it’s me! You are fantastic, your evolutions are awesome, but I think I like Cinderace the best out of the starter evolutions. I’m sorry :cry:

Lol I'm the opposite-Scorbunny's evolutions switched me over to Grookey. So I guess balance is restored.
