Because it's a new gen! That's big! Also, how can you have a 'preference' already ... :V

Most people think these are fake which is a shame because Pitoyui (the bird) is a cutie. :C

I want that bird on my team.

I like that weird bug thing. It's cute too.

Is that bird a dark type? If it is, think this will be a great dark monotype challenge.

The bird reminds me of a chango, which is a very annoying bird here. It steals your munchies.

Again, they're probably fake!! Legit stuff might come with the next corocoro but it's kinda early.

I dunno it looks 500% legit

Nah, CoroCoro's pages seem to usually be a bit more crowded than that. At least, the scans on Serebii give me that impression.

Reasonably sure that was confirmed as fake—I never saw said confirmation myself, but apparently three popular fakemon artists on dA were responsible for it. There's a second scan with some dinosaurs and a youkai-ghost-looking thing that is probably also fake:



(from Tumblr)

though I haven't seen any artists confirmed for this one yet.

Bit of a shame, though, yeah, because they were interesting. If the bird was named "pitoyui" then maybe it was a pitohui like this one, which would be cool because those are poisonous (though I think I saw someone call the bird normal/flying; dunno where they got that, but if so then maybe it would've been poison-type after evolving). Also a Lambeosaurus pokémon (yellow dude in the second scan) would be just the best thing.

Apparently the Japanese on the first scan was off. Also it's a bit early for Corocoro scans, too.

I can see the yellow dude as the one with higher Defence.

What's with all the fakes cropping up just now? It's been a few weeks since the game was announced, hasn't it? Get on the ball, guys!

My boyfriend came across this image just now, too:

Unfortunately, there was no source tied to it. He's also really stupid and only linked the thumbnail and now he can't be bothered to go back to the page he found it on. I do really like these forms, though.

here you go!

It was just an early set of fan designs, not meant to be official! I really like all three of them though. I have a feeling Froakie's not going to turn so cool. :C

Ohhh, those are good! Seems that a Fire/Psychic combo is popular for Fennekin's evolutions.

Speaking of fakes, I really like nastyjungle's fakes.

[Chespin] [Fennekin] [Froakie]

i'm going to wait for more info on these games but so far nothing's sold me. yeah, the graphics are different, but that's not going to win me over, especially since the starters are the same boring fire/water/grass choice as always :I

Are you saying you don't want the starters to be those types?

I remember seeing this image, like, the day of the trailer. #tcod consensus was that Fennekin-final has some neat bits but is overall entirely too ridiculous. I also feel that most fake starter-finals are too "scared" to depart from the basic's design too much (see also quadrupedal Samurott and bipedal Emboar).

Speaking of, it'd actually be kinda cool if froakie turned into something like the evo at the end of this comic. The art style is simple and all and you can't see the whole thing, but the general concept of an elegant flying? salamander dragon is p awesome. (Tail is a little too dragonairesque, though.)

It'd be kinda nutty (and cool) if Fennekin ended up bipedal. It'd look like Renamon or something.

I kinda feel that most people like a really consistent starter line... Samurott comes out of nowhere and a sudden random change isn't much fun to design. :|a The final form can still be interesting even if it's pretty similar, like Charizard or Swampert or Serperior. Basically I just want an ear-fluff ponytail final!kin though.


Also no no please Renamon looks way too Fighting-type...

This Fighting-type Fennekin is pretty! Apparently a bunch of people thought it was real. I don't really care if it's Fighting-type if has a good design.

(I can't find a source :( )

Also why do all the fake Fennekins have beards? Do real Fennec foxes secretly grow beards?

I'm not happy with nearly all of the fake evolutions I can dig up.

It's not that they should turn completely different! I think Samurott all of a sudden is weird, too, but fake evolutions tend to strongly veer in the direction of just being bigger versions of the real one. Charizard isn't a bigger Charmander; its face and body structure change a lot, and wings happen! Swampert is way different while still looking very related to Mudkip! Seperior lost its legs.

This fake Fighting-type Fennekin has Fennekin's exact face, when starter faces actually change lots. A lot of fakes do that, and also keep the same proportions and general body-shape.



Exact feet, still hangs its arms the same way, same leg shape, same markings and colours, exact same tail but long. It is pretty and the cloak is nice, but it barely changed. Isn't it almost more suitable for a second-stage? The actual second-stage here actually is just Chespin, stylized. Nastyjungle's Chespin face stays the same (especially the mouth), too (although I like how it gets a lot more chestnut-like).



This is exactly Froakie, just stretched and standing up.

People should do what's fun for them to draw; that's fine! But it's not as fun to look through fakes if every one of them is like that. Even if they're pretty, it would be really nice if more people would realize it's okay to change things a little more.
