It's probably why the image I posted is fake, and/or the persons simply didn't want to show the clauncher evolution. I vote the former, though.

Don't you think this one matches more the description PokeBeach leaked?
Of course, I must add I found it on tumblr.

It also has a fighting-type move, and Froakie's final evo is suppose to be water/fighting. The other Froakie leak had no fighting abilities whatsoever. lol
I found that odd when I saw it.
I like it more than the other who uses his tongue as a scarf
The main problem I have with the prior design is that the bubbles completely vanished, it's a design choice I feel they should stick to until the last evo, make a beard and glasses out of it, something
Someone gave the explanation that, if Froakie does lose the bubbles in its final evolution, that, it would be similar to what happens to various frog species in the real world.
Most frog "nests" are made of bubbles, and, younger frogs carry around some of their bubble nest on them until they reach adulthood.
That looks awful. Badly drawn AND badly designed.
I like tongue scarf version. Its a really cool unexpected design shift… similar to the big crazy changes of the starter's final forms last gen. The new fake just looks stupid.
ALSO. Folks, given the nature of the spoilers and leaks flying about the next couple weeks and the huge variety of potential topics coming up... could you start labeling your spoiler tags with a brief description of what's behind them?
For isntance "Possible Froakie evo" "Team Flame leader" "crazy game mechanic" "entirely new creature" "costume combination" or the like. Just so folks can grasp the nature of what they might be finding when they hit the tag. I know some people want to be surprised by the remaining creatures, but aren't concerned at all about what the gym leaders look like, for instance.
Getting multiple pages in a row of undefined spoiler tags is... problematic.
Just so you can distinguish between real and fake, remember the sprites are in 3D. For example, here you have Froakie's.

Also, about the fake I posted above, if that's supposed to be a ninja, then allow me to tell the one who made it that he sucks balls.

that's actually pretty cool
I like it when they take things like natural adaptability for the evos into account, like how would this critter fit into the ecosystem of this world, stuff like that
thanks for the info

Ahaha this one basically took the complaints from the other fake and did the opposite.
My goal for the next two week:
Do http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~msandbot/pokemon/ about 640 more times to figure out my which pokemon I like the most and least, then find the average placing for each generation and type, to finally have a concrete answers for which Generation had the best Pokemon and what my favorite types are.
That sounds like some serious overkill. Bt going through it once I got
1.Sandslash
2.Emolga
3.Shaymin
4.Liepard
5.Luxray
6.Lotad
7.Suicune
8.Bellsprout (It shows Victreebell, but I know its Bellsprout)
9.Mienshao
10.Scyther
Which is a pretty decent list… offset by the fact that Emolga met Sandshrew early in. Not necessarily a team I'd build around, but... decent list of fun ones. Dunsparce, Absol and probably Scolipede should be in there too. Did it a second time and somehow ended up with Skunktank and Rayquaaza in there. Uh, no.
It's only after doing that test that I realised how much I like Donphan and Granbull, as well as practically every normal type ever. I hope either of those two get mega evos.
not the most accurate test. For example I was doing it for gen 1.
Mewto showed up, but he was against another pokemon I liked better, so obviously I clicked the other pokemon. The rest of the entire process never again did mewto show up. Thus it wasn't even in my top 10, but looking at my top 10 list he is easily above a few of them. Then there was other pokemon like muk or magnite that I clicked against them like 10 times. Why did they not get removed instantly when I clicked no the first time. It took like 10 opposite clicks before they finally were done, yet mewto just one?
Didn't bother doing the others, cause it took long enough on just 151 pokemon to get it narrowed down, can't imagine how long it take to do 650.
Well yeah, but for an accurate test you'd pretty much have to compare every monster to every monster, so for just the first 150 you'd be talking 22,000 clicks…. Even if every monster is just compared to five thats 750 right off the bat. It CAN be pretty decent accuracy... as long as one of your favorites isn't paired against another favorite early on. (And you should have some idea what your faves are.) The second time around my results were all sorts of off though.

I've never don't the 1st gen one, but it should eliminate every Pokemon you click against. Maybe it was a glitch.
And yes, it isn't accurate, but that's why you have to redo it 648 times, automatically clicking against previous winners.
I've never don't the 1st gen one, but it should eliminate every Pokemon you click against. Maybe it was a glitch.
Not how it works at all. I don't know how the algorithm works, but previous ones popped up a ton after a certain point, especially near the end of the 650 run.

Well it wouldn't have to compare every pokemon to every pokemon.
it only lists your top 10 right?
So as soon as you click 10 times against someone then they are for sure not in your top 10.
The easiest method would be this I think.
They have you pick a pokemon that you sorta like but know it isn't in your top 10, lets make that Dragonite. I like it, its a cool pokemon but I know for fact its not in my top 10.
THEN have that be the #1 spot while it is compared to 650 other pokemon. Any time you pick Dragonite, that means the other pokemon would also not be in your top 10. Thus remove from any future choices. If you choose the other pokemon, then save it for later analysis.
Finally after weeding out all the Dragonite or lower pokemon then do the more detailed method of comparing each pokemon with another.
Though of course through code this should also be able to lessen and not have to compare EVERY pokemon. I mean if I say I like ninetails better than charizard, then any pokemon that Charizard beats also means ninetails would beat them and thus no reason to compare Nintetails to them.
If I like Ninetails more than Charizard, and Charizard more than Blastoise, then safe to say I like Ninetails more than Blastoise.
Ninetails vs. Charizard (ninetails wins)
Charizard vs. Blastoise (charizard wins)
That was only two clicks, but I found out 3 results.
Then each time compare a new pokemon to the MIDDLE pokemon. In this case Ninetails top, charazard middle, blastoise bottome. So compare Haunter to Charizard first and if you like him better then you compare to ninetails, or if you like him worse then to blastoise. This could save as well, cause instead of a max 3 clicks, the max is reduced to 2.
Ah I need to stop talking. The more I talk, the more I want to open up a visual basic program and start making a code for this, lol.
@RobbyBevard:
Not how it works at all. I don't know how the algorithm works, but previous ones popped up a ton after a certain point, especially near the end of the 650 run.
You select which Pokemon you want to keep. If it's Mew two vs. Rhydon and you click Mewtwo, Rhydon goes home and Mewtwo stays in the system until either he wins or you pick someone over him. At least, that's the way it has worked the twenty some odd times I've done it.
Though of course through code this should also be able to lessen and not have to compare EVERY pokemon. I mean if I say I like ninetails better than charizard, then any pokemon that Charizard beats also means ninetails would beat them and thus no reason to compare Nintetails to them.
Except that's NOT always the case. Given a choice between two things you like, one might barely edge out the other based on appearance, or moveset, or typing or a fond memory of it, but up against another creature you like, it might not. You might prefer Charizard over Nintetails when they're side by side and think "yes, among firetypes, I prefer Ninetails." But then, Ninetails versus Blastoise think "Well, I like all three of Blastoise's forms and its a good starter, so I like it better" but then Blastoise and Charizard think "Charizard is the better starter" Its not necessarily a strict one trumps the other scenario when there's multiple factors.
You might not even realize you prefer a monster over another until you see them strictly side by side. Sure you know your top 5, but what happens when you see say… Dunsparce vs Absol, where you like both for completely different reasons, tand they'd do differently against other things?

Then its a really skewed method if two of your favorites happen to collide early on, rather than getting weighted. I guess the favorites just start showing up like crazy near the end then.
Like on my list, by all rights the top 3 should be Sandlsash, Emolga, Sandshrew… but because Emolga and Sandshrew met early on, Sandshrew appears nowhere in my top 10 at all.... even though it would beat everything else.
It needs a bit more than just a strict elimination policy I guess. SOME sort of tiering system that it tracks up to a point.
Well yeah, it isn't supposed to be a perfect system. It's just a fun little way of figuring out a couple favorites. You'd have to exclude obvious favorites and previous winners and redo it several times before you got anything close to an accurate top 10 out of it.

No you would be the flaw, you would be incorrect and wrong.
Lets ignore the 650 pokemon and just use those 3.
If I hand you three pokemon cards
1. Ninetails
2. Blastoise
3. Charizard
You have to put them in order 1-3. If you like 1 or 3, and 3 over 2. HOW can you like 2 or 1?
Imagine laying the cards down. You put Ninetails on top, charaizard below and then blastoise below, ordering them 1-3. But your trying to say you like blastoise more than ninetails. So blastoise must be #1. But that would put it above charizard, which you already said you like blastaoise more than charizard.
Your breaking the system and there is NOTHING it can do to decide your favorite. You can't like Ninetails more than charizard and charizare more than blastoise, yet blastoise more than ninetails. It's just not possible.
Be like if your thinking in candy. IF you like snikers more than milky ways. And you like milky ways more than almonds bars. HOW IN THE HELL could you like almond bars more than snickers?
Your breaking the system and there is NOTHING it can do to decide your favorite. You can't like Ninetails more than charizard and charizare more than blastoise, yet blastoise more than ninetails. It's just not possible.
Because there's more than just one factor involved.
Appearance, typing, ability, liking the entire family instead of just the one form, memories of a run through, having a cool move, having gotten a shiny once, do you like it for practical or sentimental reasons, do you like the pre-vo better than the evo, sheerly being around since gen 1 so you've known it for 15 years, it amusing you on the cartoon… it's not just ONE thing.
In two similar monsters you might compare a certain factor, but in two different things, it might be something else entirely that decides between them. I like the Nidoking family as a functional playable choice after they served me well and would... but don't have a particular affinity to any of the six members So in a list of monsters I'd use to fight with, they'd be decently high up... but in a list of favorites, they're not high up at all.
I like Dunsparce because its cute and considered terrible but has a great ability and I like the color yellow. I like Absol because it's cool looking and it totally trounced the elite 4 for me in one game and ground up to level 100. They're not at all similar and I like them for completely different reasons. If I put Absol up against say, the cool looking Scyther, I'd decide Absol is cooler looking, and over-ride it. But If I had Dunsparce against Scyther, I might think on that moment, "well, they both look kind of like bugs, and Scyther is the cooler looking bug, so it's better." (Nevermind that Dunsparce isn't a bug type)
Absol>Scyther>Dunsparce
But if I put Dunsparce up against Ludicolo, I'd go "they're both stupid looking dopey things that I love for no good reason, but I guess I like Dunsparce more." But then Absol up against Ludicolo "Well, Absol is cool looking, but I just love that stupid expression on the other thing's face."
Dunsparce> Ludicolo>Absol
So then throw Ludicolo against Syther and its completely up in the air on a whim. You can't get a straight number just from trumping a thing and assuming its ALWAYS better in every comparable circumstance. That's how I ended up with Raquaza in my top 10 somehow... and I don't like Rayquaza, it wouldn't even be in my top 300... its just cooler than the things it went up against till it was in the top 10, but it never met the things that would easily trump it till the end.
Yes, between THREE things you can generally figure out a definitive favorite. But between TEN things? You might figure out the top and bottom pretty easily, but most likely 2-9 can be shuffled around pretty readily depending on your mood. Then when the list gets even bigger, to 650 things?
Be like if your thinking in candy. IF you like snikers more than milky ways. And you like milky ways more than almonds bars. HOW IN THE HELL could you like almond bars more than snickers?
Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don't.
SO, we're going to get more news after the origins anime airs tomorrow

NO NO NO! Don't force me chose beetween Sceptile and Quagsire before reaching the best 10.
You mounstrous random device.
After looking at the pics a second time, I don't know you guys, but I think Wivixen and Greninja are the real deal. We were told they end up becoming a Wizard and a Ninja, and this is exactly what's in their name and appearance.
Yes, I have no doubts now, they are legit. I still recall that time many people said Samurott was a fake, good times…

That what it was told in a interview that they were basing the starters as knight,rogue and mage so of course people would do fake around those.
Not saying they are fake but it still is a possibility. :P
I wished so hard that Samurott was a fake.
What do you know… Gengar was my #1. :ninja:
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Also. I'll just leave...this here.

Starter Bias (sceptile) apperently is stronger than Smiley. >_<
But Wooper got third (dammit why did it had to go against Sceptile) beating Groundon, Volcaronoa and Blastoise to name a few.
Wow, I realy find a new love to little dude.

So, how much does a 3DS usually cost (I live in the US)?
Well that's what the results say, but I honestly prefer Groudon in reality
Well i say it more like a friendly joke and looks like we prefer also the grass starters(Venasaur had the bad luck of going against wooper so soon).
@Medical:

about $160 the last time i checked, $180 for XL
By the way, there's a guy who is uploading screenshots of his gameplay in Instagram. He chose Chespin as his starter.
Fuck it's happening.
Urges not to touch the link again…Gahhh!
Yet he doesn't show any new Pokémon. Maybe afraid of future legal consequences? But I believe what I'm seeing at 99,9%
The evolution screen is oddly similar to the one I posted yesterday (with Braixen evolving). I guess this one was real after all.
Seems there's evidence of street date breaking in Canada and some other countries
Yeah. The street date was broken.
