I think Fire/Poison would actually be a pretty great type. Can't turn down a 4x Fairy resist.

Oh it's super cool, but it doesn't make any sense at all. Popplio has the same chance of being Water/Poison because it blows snot bubbles or some shit.

Maybe it makes sense when it evolves.

 

[Salvadora]

I want this now

It's so bad it's good

 

[Kinsei]

Machamp is like half of those.


I really like the seal one, but it still annoys me that people think Litten will be poison type. I don't get it. Oil is poisonous I guess? No fuckin clue.

The sulfur symbol on it's face.

 

[DecoReturns]

The sulfur symbol on it's face.

To me, that's just a Ridley in the cloud scenario.

But I do want Poison/Fire

 

[Seil]

The sulfur symbol on it's face.

The symbol on its forehead is pretty generically used on tigers. It could be entirely coincidence that taking into account the eyes(which are disconnected from said symbol, by the way) you get something roughly resembling the Leviathan Cross.

Also sulfur in and of itself, not really toxic. Hydrogen Sulfide etc, on the other hand sure.

Edit: I mean, I wouldn't entirely put it past them to be combining the tiger reference and the Leviathan Cross here, but I would be much more likely to suspect it was the case if the red around the eyes and the symbol on the forehead weren't separated.

 

[MegaManTrigger]

not sure if these have been posted but I really like these

Now that's a fan design I can get behind. They all look great.

 

[AlexMeloche]

I like the Popplio/Rowlet evos, but the Litten one seems a bit 2edgy4me.

 

[MajorMane]

I don't like the idea of Fire/Poison for Litten in its current state because the description of oils in its fur is really only there to explain how its fire works. Lines up with the hairballs as fireballs.

 

[V-Faction]

BEE and BEEEEEE got me good.

I was only saying why some people think it could be Fire/Poison, I didn't say I agreed with it. I do want it to be Fire/Poison though since it would be a new typing.

 

[Serpens007]

Maybe since Litten attack with furballs cover in fire, he could eventually cover them in his vomit (since that is actually what hes doing) and justify a Poison theme.

 

[Beyonce Beytwice]

You don't think Dark-type when you see Froakie either, and yet that's what it ends up as.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

These are all amazing.

 

[Neiteio]

Also, for those interested, here's a version with some more space up top for the text:

This is actually a really awesome design. Where did it come from?

 

[V-Faction]

The fake evolution of Popplio is a brilliant compromise in design.

- Popplio is yet another marine mammal. There's already been several with Seel/Dewgong, Spheal/Sealeo/Walreign, and Oshawott/Dewott/Samurott. So right off the bat you need to differentiate it enough from those existing Pokemon. Maybe you don't choose a sea lion or a walrus, but instead something like an elephant seal.

- Popplio is cute and friendly-looking. It isn't exactly neutral or indifferent as designs go, it actually has a some pep. One might see it as a critical elemental to keep throughout evolution stages to keep a happy go-lucky smile.

- Popplio has a small and sleek shape, like a real seal. Compare it with the chubby and dopey looking Oshawott, Popllio has got a closer real-world resemblance. You can't bulk it up too much otherwise it destroys the qualities of the first stage. If you're a fast starter from birth, chances are you'll be a fast starter all grown up.

- The clown motif may or may not have some huge significance, but how much it should be relied upon comes down to the original intent of the designers. It's clear Venusaur wanted to have a giant plant on his back but would you guessed that Charizard would have wings or Blastoise would have cannons? How much style versus how much substance is anyone's guess at this point.

- The clumsy Typing vulnerabilities on the website mean that folks were scoping out a -Fighting look for the evolution. The majority of those Pokemon are bipedal, so how does one get a flippered mammal to resemble a fighter without straying too far from the original concept? The fake probably got the closest. I'd say, if the Types hold true, we'll see something similar in the official reveal.

In other words, that's how you end up with an Insane Clown Posse Strong Man Upright Seal.

 

[Already Torn]

The sulfur symbol on it's face.

Sulfur isn't poisonous!

Right, but you can say that about literally every other type in addition to poison for Litten.

"It'll look like Fire/Flying once the evolution grows wings"

 

[Zelias]

Ok, I laughed at Man > Woman > Wowoman.

 

[AzureFlame]

LMAO XD

 

[Beyonce Beytwice]

Game Freak HQ

 

[Metaroo]

The Litten final evolution design makes no sense. Unless there is some weird detail thats added when its animated.

I would take Pooplio if he turned into the ICP guys.

 

[CazTGG]

Insane Clown Popplio? I can imagine it already...

"Freaking Magneton, how do they work? And I don't wanna talk to a Scientist (Trainer)..."

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

This is actually a really awesome design. Where did it come from?

The depths of depravity.

 

[RagnarokX]

Being based on Hawaii, there will probably be a loco moco pokemon. It will look like a hamburger patty topped with a fried egg and brown gravy surfing on Hawaii's traditional native dish: a styrofoam tray.

 

[Mista Koo]

To complete what I started, here is my take on Popplio's mid evolution: (not even pretending I'm cleaning up the lines whatsoever)

And the three monstrosities next to each other:

 

[SkullHydra]

If Poplio's evolution is anything similar to that creepy clown, I am totally switching from Rowlet.

 

[EulaCapra]

not sure if these have been posted but I really like these

These are really good. And they all retain a cute factor throughout which many artists forget to do. I especially love the Rowlet line.

 

[Hero Prinny]

i like the creepy clown.

 

[Neiteio]

i like the creepy clown.

No joke, the creepy clown is the most convincing thing I've seen so far. I get the same feelings from it that I got when I first saw Serperior, Emboar, Samurott, Chesnaught, Delphox and Greninja — feelings of surprise, but that it's real. Has someone confirmed it's a fake?

I'm hoping that if this is a fake, the artist behind it will reveal themselves, because I would love to see what kind of other stuff they draw.

Nope.

Overall, I really like that design for adding in a "strong-man" aspect to it. It's small feet are also reminiscent of a punching bag clown to me. Like, it'll get it and knocked back, but then pop right back up.

I like Rowlet's too. It's got the strong-looking feet that are supposed to be used for kicking. It sorta transforms into a knife-thrower of a carnival/circus, while still maintaining its almost ring-leader appearance. (Bow-tie, vest, but no top hat.)

And then Litten's is just a panther. Seems less inspired, unless I'm missing something.

 

[tenderbrew]

Literally dying. This is fantastic.

As a huge Trubbish and Vanillite fan, I wish they were real...

Can you post the Litten and Rowlet ones?

 

[Poyunch]

This is actually a really awesome design. Where did it come from?

Someone drew it and took a picture of their monitor.

 

[Beyonce Beytwice]

Literally dying.

Well, we hardly got to know you but rest in peace.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Ah, I see he ascribes to the "Fire/Poison" school of thought I'm from, too.

"Beeeeee" makes this art.

 

[MajorMane]

Can you post the Litten and Rowlet ones?

Yep, here you go.

I don't know the source of this but this (probably fake) Popplio evo is actually god damn great and creepy

Oh and Rowlet and Litten I guess

And if you don't want to follow links...

 

[Neiteio]

Yep, here you go.



And if you don't want to follow links...

Hmm...

When I saw the Popplio evo, I instantly thought, "Wow, this might be real"

But now that I see these Rowlet and Litten evos, they don't strike me as real at all

The Popplio one looks like Sugimori art and design, while the other two don't

If they're from the same source, I guess that increases the chances of being a fake

edit: They are kinda cool, though

 

[JazzmanZ]

it sure was a big coincidence these final evolves happened to 'leak' just after the starters were recently revealed, and no doubt would of been revealed had they not!

 

[Livingskeletons]

A panther is a cool idea given the tropical location.

 

[Turbowaffles]

Yep, here you go.



And if you don't want to follow links...

So Rowlet final form is an Assassin?


Requiescat in Pace.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

LOL!!
Man, Woman, Wowowman and Eg, Baconeg, Fullenglish were the best! lol

 

[.JayZii]

I love this so much. Wowoman killed me.

Those final starter evolution pictures aren't real, but I really like the look of Litten and Popplio's. hopefully the artist reveals themselves after the "leak" joke has played itself out. I'd like to see more work.

 

[Grexeno]

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

Yep, here you go.



And if you don't want to follow links...

That Litten evo is awesome. I'd be beyond happy if that was the direction GF actually went.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I wonder how many people will be disappointed with the first evolution.

Also when do we usually see that? Around August?

 

[Mestizo]

I lol'd hard

 

[RomanceDawn]

Beeeeeeeee? Someone got inspiration from their trip to Long Ring Long Land.

 

[Strimei]

My general rule of thumb for supposed "leaks" is if its a photo of a screen, it is fake. Taking a photo of the screen helps cover up any errors and smaller details, making it easier to try and pass it off as legit. (that said, I'm sure there are cases of photos of screens of things that were actually real, but they're outweighed by the fakes)

They're pretty neat, though. But that Popplio evolution scares the beejezus out of me. Rowlet's kinda creeps me out.
