I like the fact that fake Pokemon exist. There is something inherently funny about multiple people in the world spending time, energy, and sometimes money to fulfill their dreams of temporarily tricking the citizens of the internet in to believing that their "awesome idea for a Sudowoodo evolution" is the real deal. It's like telling a woman that you have a 12 inch penis in order to convince her that you are totally wonderful at the act of love making, only to eventually drop your drawers to show her that your penis is actually quite small.
Though in the end, you'll be laughed at and scorned, for a brief time, you were living the lie dream. Not that I'd know anything about that personally.
Speaking of what I know, how do I know that these Pokemon are fake? Well, I'm not positive, but the art here is questionable enough to have be 99% sure that it's fan-made. Where is the credible source? How was this art stolen from the airtight offices of Nintendo Japan? Why are the Pokemon's names already translated into English with an in-game font? Where are the previously announced new starter Pokemon? Why so many of the new Pokemon look exactly like older Pokemon like Charmander and Turtwig? Why are their four different dolphin-looking Pokemon?
Yeah, this stuff looks fake alright, and I think I know who did the faking. You can check out the rest of the unsubstantiated Pokemon in the gallery.
Thank for the tip, Christopher!

fake. not to mention the reuse of several pokemon shapes.
nice work though.
The one thing that seemed the most off about it though was Skarmory getting a new evo. HE'S FRICKIN' UNSTOPPABLE ALREADY!
Though I have to admit, the collection of ghost/X types (fighting and grass, specifically) would be awesome. Pokemon needs more ghost/ types.
I'm not expecting Alakazam level asskickery but giving a Pokémon a 440 total base stat and no evolution is just stupid./nerd rage
Could still be fake, but could also be real.
Seriously though, I just assumed people would know that Snorover, Hitmontop, and many of the other Pokemon on the list are old and real, and that it's the "new" ones that I'm implying are fake.
Hitmontop is totally famous by now, right? Or do I need to clarify that he's been around since Ruby/Sapphire?
100% sure that Hitmontop was here since Gold/Silver/Crystal. I think i'll take your Pokémon fan card until you can name every single one of them off by heart.
But Volbeat does *not* need an evolution!
Yeah, about 60 of them are real pokemon. It's not news that you found three.
The faker was trying to make it seem more real by including some pokemon from past games as EVERY game before it has done.
Jonathan, I'm giving you your Trainer Card back because nobody cares about which game Hitmontop was introduced in.
Also, Volbeat is horrible and could 100% use a new evo. Unless you meant that BECAUSE he's horrible and no one cares about him that he doesn't deserve a new evo. I'm with you on that one.
Also, I would make it Fight/Ground. Earthquake anyone?
Someone tell me what I need to do to redeem myself, and I'll do it.
Plus why would they do new Pokemon in last generation's sprite design, they completely redo them every time.
Vespipin, Mawkeen, Reptileon, and Aeroma should be rad
Hitmontop came from Gen 2 in Gold and Silver :)
You only have to do one thing...
GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!
Or, alternately, you can go back in time to when you were 12 and tell your mom it's about time you went off on your own to become a famous Pokemon trainer. Then just hit the road and constantly place yourself in harm's way until you emerge a grizzled Pokemon champion!
Or, you know, get bit by the first Rattata you come across, contract rabies and die if you want to go the more realistic route.
I was pretty berserk for Pokemon at that point in my life. Wonder if I'll get that way for White/Black.
