And yet no one seems to have threatened PJ to take the pics down.http://pokejungle.net/2016/07/08/rumor-chinese-leaks-predicted-salandit-say-no-gyms/
Seems like a bunch of images of the leaked pictures have vanished from the internet. hmmmmmm
So does that mean the leaks are most likely fake or are they legit?

I'd say they are fake, I mean the NPC in Kalos already tried getting us hyped about the new region champion. There wouldn't be any if there wasn't a league.
The Chinese leak (and the European one, but that one is most likely fake for plenty of other reasons) claims these Starter designs are legit, so a possible forceful removal of them lends credence to the idea that they're the real deal.
Unless the events of Sun and Moon happen before XY, in which case you yourself are logically the Champion the backpacker is talking about.

I understand your point, but I don't know, don't characters normally mention other important characters rather than the PC. This may be a bit of a wobbly statement. But I am sure the guy is talking about a champion that is not the PC.
I am just hoping that a gym leader gets revealed soon, if at least one doesn't by August, it will become highly suspicious...
When do we normally get a gym leader reveal (3 or 4 corocoro after the reveal of a new game ) ?
Weren't this starter artworks already known since several months? They don't see new for me but more like old news I already have seens months before.
Are they really being removed though? If you do a Google search, you've got to scroll a bit to find them now.
But since you had to scroll a bit to find them before all this EU/CHN business, how do we know that there has actually been removals?
I haven't seen anyone claim that such and such site or source no longer exists, it sounds like everyone is basing the removal on the fact that it's not up at the top of Google searches.
I don't think it ever was. Certainly hasn't been when I've Googled them, before or after.
I couldn't tell you. I've looked at that image more in the past two days than I have in all the time since it was first ever shown, so I couldn't say how wide-spread it was versus how it is now. Nobody's said for sure that they have either, just that several sources of the image have vanished and that removal is a possible explanation as to why.
Sources could be just trying to play it up. This happened with a lot of fake generic 4han smash leaks.

But what sources? Where? It's being said that they are being removed, but is really vague on where. The only real evidence for the removal I have seen given is its placement in image searching, which I, personally, don't think has actually changed.
It just sounds like an attempt at faking up some hype, which strips a lot of credence the leak might have had in my eyes.
And to be clear, I know you're just forwarding the information, I'm not being argumentative at you directly.
I think my biggest thing with the concept art is "why now?" We've known about that concept art for months and no one so much as touched it, so why would a rumor (and it's not even the only one that has said they're real) change that? If it's real, it's still leaked concepts and should've been treated the same way from beginning to end, doing it now just because a potential leak is floating around shouldn't have changed their stance.
