Thoughts on the Upcoming Pokemon Switch Game?

I'm surprised that I'm the only one here who cares more about the availability of Pokémon Bank on the upcoming Switch release than any changes to the battle system.

Tbh, it's pretty much a certainty that it'll have Pokémon Bank available so there isn't much to discuss there.

This is the first time where I'm actually wondering if these are real because they look real good if their fakes

We'll just have to wait and see if some person on Deviant Art claims they made them.

They do look convincing though, for now. I like the lemur best, and if they are in fact real, I'd be disappointed if the platypus evolved into something besides Water/Poison.

All three look great. Especially the fire rabbit.

Have starters ever leaked before? Then again the final forms for the Gen 7 starters leaked early as well.

There's so much more information to be displayed in the games nowadays that I'm not sure how they're gonna handle only having 1 screen again. Mainly for the battles.

I don't think they look all that real....but if they were I'd totally pick the Platypus. Other than that I really think they're fake.

Definitely would go with Platypus if these are real. I think they’re great looking designs and the amount of effort gone into them I’d be surprised if they weren’t real. These would be a great set of starters, I like the idea of the Rabbit having smoke coming out of it, even if it does come from it’s behind haha.

You can tell the Platypus has designs from other Pokemon on it. Bidoof's cheeks and Pikachu's back for example. That's one thing making me learn towards it being fake.

But at the same time that would fit in perfectly with its origin because when the platypus was first discovered, people didn’t believe it was real because it just seemed to be parts of other animals thrown together like otter feet, beaver tail, and duck beak.

If they are fake I'm certain the actual starters won't look nearly as good.

The leaked starters are confirmed fake. It was revealed that they were made by an Italian artist.

Do we have a source for that?

If that's the case then I'm glad. I only liked the bunny and the platypus a bit less plus I don't want a new generation yet.

Some Italian artist confirmed it on Facebook.

And it doesn't matter what you want, cause a new gen is definitely coming soon, only whether it's late 2018 or early 2019. Nintendo wouldn't lie to their investors by saying "2018 or later" just for sh** and giggles.
