RE: Rumors & Speculation
Croconaw->Feraligator, Bayleef->Meganium, Quilava->Typhlosion, Marshtomp->Swampert, all didn't see completely drastic design changes. If your strongest argument is that their faces are similar then yes, they didn't change that much. I understand your points, I'm just trying to say that *insert Braixen's evo's name* looks like a legitimate final evolution, to me, regardless of not hitting some serious growth spurt or spouting other defining features.
The more I see it the more I like it. This is sad cause it is more than likely not legit.

It lost its awkward thin limbs and total feminine qualities but yet didn't gain too much bulk. It has a sturdier lower body and a little more to its arms, while other features slightly changed, such as its waist fur, neck fur, ear length and purple color. Granted, I don't understand the weird purple on the end of its wand, but still, it looks as powerful as a final evolution should. Not saying I think it's real, or that I'll prefer this design to the official design if it's fake. Just that I appreciate the rendition and I'll be okay if it is real.
Frogadier's evolution though... You be real dammit.
I don't think so. Even with the most similar examples, almost all final evos have a different body shape, even it's just a size difference. Braixen evo looks pretty much the same, it doesn't even look taller. The body is actually longer, and the waist is thinner. The purple is most likely just power radiating off the wand, but it just doesn't look plausible. And look at the lines for it. The selling point for Gallantoad for me is the use of the Sugimori line art. Braixen evo doesn't have those. Their head's look near identical except for ears and tufts. I have never seen the head of a middle and end starter evo look that similar. Maybe Meganium.
It's just not selling it. I won't write it off completely yet. But Gallantoad, I don't understand people's arguments against it. the white speck is on it's eye thing and it's shoulder. It's obviously light reflecting off his shiny skin.
