RE: (1) Toys Reveal a New Pokemon? [7/6]

Yeah, this is most likely real, even though the style of that Green Bear thing doesn't look totally right. The other one is for sure real since it was the sketch in the Anime picture. I could totally believe that it's this kind of Generation's Larvitar and evolves eventually to Ononokusu. The Green Bear I don't see any relation to any new Pokemon shown so far, but it could have an evolution down the line. This is one massive slip up that's for sure.
dmaster out.
I'm starting to doubt these being slip ups. Honestly, these leaks are too... I dunno. It feels like they're on purpose. I mean, the beta Anime artwork comes out, then we get more info on Koromori (legit source) and the little one-horned thing from a questionable source? There have been a LOT of 'slip ups' if that's what they are. Either the Pokemon company is really lax this gen when it comes to security, or they're purposely letting small details through the cracks to keep the rabid fanbase entertained.
I mean, think of it this way. This way, they don't have to shove every single detail into CoroCoro/Pokemon Sunday/Oha Suta. They get the publicity as everyone eagerly awaits confirmation, they get a more focused fanbase. If they did like they usually do, shove the bulk of information in CoroCoro, with some nifty moving images called 'video' and maybe a new unimportant tidbit on PS, you can just feel the cycle of anticipation.
"Oh, gosh! CC's coming out soon!"
"MUST HAVE NEWS!"
"YAY LEAKS!"
*spirited discussion*
*not so spirited discussion*
*discussions that go in circles*
"Bleh.... We've absorbed this. When's the next CC?"
"News... lull..." *gasp* "Need... news..."
"Soon...."
"This is taking forever!"
"Oh, gosh! CC's coming out soon!"
"MUST HAVE NEWS!"
Etc, etc. This way, instead of 2-3 weeks of dullness, they keep us all engaged and they keep their product firmly lodged in the front of our minds. I think it's a brilliant marketing strategy designed to LOOK like mistakes.
