Except looking at the past starters, literally everyone followed more logical evolutions.
No, this is false. I can't be arsed to go through each starter and explain why each evolution chain has been the same, if not more nonsensical than this one. But we both know your statement is wrong.
And those exceptions show them moving towards their legs changing. Snivy becomes more snake-like, Cyndaquil relies on his back legs more, and Oshawott is getting weighed down by armor in their second forms.
This is really grasping at straws right here... Really don't see how you think this somehow "disproves" the Chinese leak, assuming it was true in the slightest.
Either way, we'll see the chinese leak more or less confirmed in a few weeks.
A lot of other things in the same leak have ended up being confirmed. And again, you need to really see what the leak for what it was. An early, unpolished concept.
