Do you guys remember all those fake leaks that came with new pokemon games?

I honestly like the concepts of some of these.

I saw one that was basically a final evolution for Jynx and it was  so cool.

what do you think?

Fake leaks or just fake-mons?


Fake leaks can be anywhere from "can you try harder" to "this is quality enough that it might just be real" to "holy crap this wasn't real?" for me.  The first category fortunately I rarely hear about it my semi-casual exposure to poke news before a game launch.  The third is frustrating because sometimes they're better ideas than what GF/TPC actually does come out with.  The second, though, is my favorite because it keeps you on the edge of your seat.

I personally love the era of fake leaks when a new game is coming out/been revealed, it's so fun to see all of this stuff that gets the community theorizing real or not, and also it's ridiculously fun to see fake leak "culture" evolve, such as when the Alolan final start evo leaks where proven to be true, when sword and shield were revealed, a lot of the fake leaks, mainly starter ones, were in the style of those real leaks


Also side note, i remember no one thought the starter leaks were real at first until they were revealed

They’re amazing actually I would have picked water in Galar if the Platypus was real

tbh I love them. I got into the games in gen 6 and as a little kid I fell for SO many fake megas, as soon as figured out that they were fake, I got into making my own in mspaint, haha
