After the TV show, Pokemon Sunday, revealed the silhouette for the three starter Pokemon for Black & White, a new image was sent to us by tipsters of what could be the starter Pokemon.
Judging from the pictures sent by our tipsters, it looks very real but how their faces are made looks funny. Could it be fake? We should see the full revelation of the three starter Pokemon in the next issue of Coro Coro Magazine. If this is indeed the three starter Pokemon, it’s one ugly picture.
Our Verdict: Fake. Why? Look at the background, it was done in photoshop.

May 9, 2010 at 5:14 PMI don’t care about Pokémon but your verdict that it is fake because it has a checkered background is retarded.
When you export an image from Photoshop it never includes the checkered background.
Also even if it were made in Photoshop 99.9% images are made in Photoshop, fake or not.

May 9, 2010 at 8:08 PM@alxalex2112 this is because the fake pics were made after the silhouettes were reveled. they HAVE to be fake, otherwise no one would buy pokemon black and white.

May 9, 2010 at 8:17 PMAs much as I hate to say this, it does look real. I’m not a fan of these (aside from the grass starter which looks decent). If this is fake then whoever made them has serious talent.

May 9, 2010 at 8:29 PMOkay I would like to point out, that in every generation starters, their eyes are huge, not beady like these. Second of all, these so called starters I would have to say would be a huge turnoff to the 5th gen, they are minus the grass one, really creepy looking. I am hoping that these are just guesses and that the real answers will make the 5th generation much more exciting. Zorua and Zoroark have been the gateway to the new generation, now the rest of the generation must keep up their end. I hope these aren’t real and that the real ones will be much more exciting.

May 9, 2010 at 9:07 PMI can’t beleve that so many people still like pokemon. This is all “speculative art” it’s well done but, it’s just that, speculation.
Well guess everyone will find out when Corocoro release the scans before the new issue of their magazine.
RE: ADRIAN VERNE. If you don’t care for pokemon, why bother going out of your busy life to find out if this is real or not, let alone post a comment? I peronsally use photoshopCS4, illustratorCS4, and some times flash for my images, so there is that other percntage. I know the updated versions are already out i’m on a tight budget.
RE: alxalex2112.Yes this is the real “shape” starters. As for the color I’m a little divide on that aspect. I could be wrong.

May 9, 2010 at 10:15 PMalxalex2112 though serebii shows the shapes of the starters doesnt neccesarally mean that this picture here is the same on as the one on serebii!

May 9, 2010 at 10:42 PMWell it’s fake because the grass type has cyndiqul head fire type has bideu body and water well spoink tail so yeah
Fuckyou
May 9, 2010 at 11:02 PMHmm… The grass one is the only decent one. The (fire?) one looks to much like a buizel. and the (water?) one looks to much like Marill.

May 9, 2010 at 11:14 PMActually, they would make the starters look like this. After playing Diamond/Pearl it seemed they were running out of designs anyways.

May 10, 2010 at 10:27 AMThe first one looks like a green mixture of a cyndaquil and a duck

May 10, 2010 at 10:48 AMIt’s clearly fake, even if it hadn’t been admitted. It’s not the best picture, but on larger pictures you can tell the outlines are somewhat shaky, and don’t match the silhouettes perfectly. Real pokemon would be much smoother than that.
You don't need to know
May 10, 2010 at 4:19 PMThat looks completely fake, I took one look and knew immediately that it was fake. It doesn’t look like any other pokemon

May 10, 2010 at 4:51 PMthose are fake, there is an artist on devinart.com that created them. Just search pokemon black and white starters on the site and you can find this picture with the artists explaination.

May 10, 2010 at 7:45 PMThis has been proven fake; if anyone is still falling for this. Here is the original artwork and its creator: http://rodentruler.deviantart.com/art/Pokemon-BW-Starters-163413067
It’s pretty obvious they are fake anyways. The style just isn’t right to me, and they don’t look cute like starters normally should.

May 11, 2010 at 11:56 AMNOt real since like before its in oder plus its not a pig in my opinion since rabbits jum high so the tail acts as a spring so its a fire rabbit,i hate the starters id be stuck trying to chose one of the ones this guy made sorry :(
VampireKen
May 15, 2010 at 3:02 AMWell this is very fake~
just go to google, type in “pokemon black and white” and you’ll see, or just go to deviantart.
Who ever made this should come forward with some BS, “I just wanted my art to be shown” i mean, that’s cool becuase they’re a great artist.
But anyways, The art is is fake, for the simple fact that when new pokemon are released to the games they look more pencil and paper, not photoshop. That wouldn’t be until they’ve already came out in the anime a few times.
but cudos on the art, very nice <3.
and for the guy that posted it, I wish NO offence, but doulble check your reaserch before posting it. Would save ALOT of head aces. =)

May 24, 2010 at 7:58 PMThe blue one looks like a spoink mixed with a bunny!!lol

October 16, 2010 at 12:59 PMwell i dont care for pokemon either but i disagree with this, the background is a background for photoshop cs-4 plus the glow feature is also included in the photoshop package. all the rest of this could easily be achieved with a good artist, a tablet, or even a mouse if theyre just that good. They were creative but whoever it was they are pretty creative

January 28, 2011 at 3:43 AMthey look like the ones that r realy but the hav like animal features
