And yet, credible sources that have previously leaked accurate Pokemon B/W data say they're legit. Obviously we have nothing 100%, but I know which side I'm inclined to trust.
I don't trust Serebii, that site's been wrong on many occasions and with this art being so out of place I'm calling fake. It's more of a gut feeling than proof, but these starters just don't
seem to be real. Looking at them, they don't seem to follow any logical evolution line. Obviously, Smugleafs and Wotters second evolutions are real because of the leaked beta art. But going from Wotter 2 to Wotter 3 seems like too radical a change. Pretty much every evolution shares at least
some similarity with it's previous form. You'd probably bring up Dragonair -> Dragonite to rebute this point, but atleast they share a similar head. What do Wotter 2 and Wotter 3 have in common? I barely see anything, except for a slight resemblance of the shells on his legs. Plus, I doubt Wotter 3 could plausibly be water/fighting and I would really like a water/fighting starter so I'm clinging to the idea that it's fake.
Most of my points on Wotter's evolution line also extend to Emboar's. It's second evolution really seems odd, and out of place. When you link it to it's third, they seem like two completely different lines. Again, Dragonair -> Dragonite still applies, so that's kind of moot. The only line that
seems plausible is Smugleaf's, and that one still strikes me as iffy.
I may not have any sources to back me up, but I'm still clinging to the idea that these are fake. I doubt Game Freak would produce such haphazard designs for starters.
