Update 2: As most of you expected this is fake
Update: Reset Era member Sage had the following to say about the images “Actually, the fact that they used katakana for the first, kanji for the second and hiragana for the third makes it more likely these are real. Writing in katakana creates a ‘cooler’ image, which it seems like they’re trying to project with the grass monkey. Hiragana has a more ‘cute’ / ‘childlike’ image, which is the theme of the water starter. It’s a very Japanese thing to do so if it’s fake then whoever did it put a lot of thought into it.”
Original post: An image is floating around the internet that supposedly shows off the Pokemon Gen VIII starters. The image originated on 4Chan and was picked up by Pokemon fan site PokeJungle. There are apparently some concerns about the Japanese in the text so we shall have to wait and see. PokeJungle says we have a Grass-type Lemur, a Fire-type Rabbit and a Water-type Platypus.
no
Wow the artist sure are having fun trolling these people
On 4chan, anyone can come up with a “leak”.
On 4chan, the starter leaks happened, the smash 4 roster leak happened, the switch presentation leak happened and was 100% correct and much more different, and even denied, by people like Liam Robertson, and much more. Just because it’s 4chan doesn’t mean it’s correct.
I hope not.
The platypus looks cool
didn’t we just have something like this in the same exact style a few weeks ago?
its not real

It saddens me that these most likely aren’t real but I want that platypus
It looks fake to me, but they are very cool, I love the platypus one, imagine this being evolved, wow. The lead monkey also looks very well done.
Id it’s a fake the artist even get the work to put a paper texture there, nice effort.
}{ The water-type is just a discount Mudkip… and the other two are really creepy… Must be a slow news day to report this stuff, eh? }{
100% fake because the “leaked” image is on 4chan which indicates its a fake and fakes will end up on 4chan or found by a 4chan member because they are fakes, also just because it has the “confidential” on the image it doesn’t mean its legit so therefore its a fake. did i mention its a fake?
Slight logic flaw you got there, but I’ll definitely concede that it’s a fake
Well seems like it is.
I actually wouldn’t mind that Fire Starter to be real, looks good!
You know the game is gonna be shown soon when we get leaks/rumors by the minute
Maybe in March.
I think the theming on them is too simple to be real. Plus, the giant “CONFIDENTIAL” slapped on it actually makes me more skeptical than convinced.
It’s very similar to the final evolution leaks. In fact, that also had confidential too. This seems almost too real, and the Japanese is very simple but nothing Google Translate wont say is incorrect.
Blech. Another set of fake starters. These things never look good, especially the rejected psyduck.
I have to admit I like the fire rabbit.
Honestly, they’re fake as they’re clearly done by the same person who drew the last fake Pokemon
Exactly.
I hope this is the real deal instead of the fake ones I saw.
I dunno, the supposed Grass-type starter looks like what Tommy Chong would look like turned into a Pokemon, the Fire-type looks like it would become ANOTHER fire-fighting type by its final evolution, and the Water-type starter looks like a Ducktales reject.
Didn’t we just do this like last month?
the notation on these seems similar to that of the art in the Sun/Moon official artbook, if that means anything. could’ve just been copied.
Probably not, but I wish they were, that platypus is adorable.
I like the lemur, I can already see it having cool evolutions just like from Froakie to Frogadier to Greninja.
