Currently torn between Scorbunny and Grookie myself.
I usually lean more towards grass starters but Scorbunny made a beeline for my heart as soon as I saw him do this in the trailer:

I knowww. He's front and center in all of this promotional stuff for a reason. Really makes me hope they've done a great job with his evos.
That's what I assume, yes. They may have someone lurking around to check for leaks and notify mods when they show up.
I believe the person who posted them quickly deleted their Twitter account and mods over on 4chan are deleting threads discussing those images. Take that as you will.
As someone who went playing black and white blindly ,seeing his final evo made me regret picking him
I'm guessing he's leaning more towards a chameleon based off of his tail but I could be wrong.
Just speaking intuitively as a Pokemon fan who's followed tons of leaks, fake or not, these feel absolutely real to me. Their designs just have certain mannerisms that match up with what Pokemon usually look like. It's very difficult to create a convincing looking fakemon. They just feel "off" in a way that can be hard to put into words.
When the gen 7 starters leaked, I felt similarly. The designs and art style were very authentic.

Everything points to the leaker having Grookey and showing off Hop's Sobble2 in the PokéDex (you can see the caught/seen ratio on top). As for using the direct Switch upload, that would make him be instabanned from Nintendo online.
There's a small chance that for Sobble's evo it could be a Shiny version.
I think they're definitely real purely by the transparent outline the game has on every model, something that every 3D model leak fails to do.
It's possible because apparently you can see if the starter is shiny before you pick it. So if you see a shiny Sobble, but pick Grookey...
Grookey: eventually evolves into Ringo Starr.
Scorbunny: eventually evolves into David Beckham.
Sobble: eventually evolves into Noel Fielding.

Oh, I like this. I imagine some part of him constantly changing colors in his animation.
remind me of the days people picking apart the greninja leak and sure as shit turned out to be legit
