Yeah, that fake image was probably made by someone trying to make people think the pokemon is fake. Hence why they made it look so bad.

All I can say is, I hope that Quilladin is shiny and real.
Oh, and I like the Froakie final. It's another clever reference to real things.
Bulbasaur and a flower bud's growth, Chikorita and a flower's growth, Totodile and the growth form baby to adult, Torchic and the growth to adapt, Turtwig and the growth of trees, and apparently Froakie and the growth of a frog. I forget which frog it is, but there's one that stays in a bubble nest and leaves after becoming an adult. There's also a frog that keeps a bunch of eggs on it's back for a while, but that's only after it mates and the female gives birth.
ah, I mentioned the bubble nest earlier too, and how I think it inspired Froakie's design. glad somebody else was thinking it too
If you own 7 giant and thick as Heaven and Hell animal books, you're gonna know a few things.
For instance, the fact that Bunnelby is a burrowing rabbit may, in fact, mean that it could possibly have an evolution found in horde battles, or itself. Burrowing rabbits and rodents tend to live with others underground. Rabbits don't always do this though, as it is a bit less common from them, but still possible. This could also mean it's evolution wil use moves resembling a ninja, as some animals will attack from their burrows (like some Eels do), just as ninjas attack from the shadows.
Also, because Skiddo and Gogoat are based off of mountain goats, they are likely to have quite decent to excellent attack and special defense stats. This is due to how goats fight eachother with their horns, and how mountain goats seemingly defy gravity.
I can also see Inkay and Malamar using at least 3 electric-type attacks due to how squids create the lights on their bodies to communicate with one another.
And here's a few minor details I've noticed.
Fletchling and Talonflame resemble the Hunger Games film logo, and may be a nod towards Robin Hood (arrows and birds, and with HG logo, the bird, arrow, fire, and head). Dedenne also is holding it's tail similar to how mice are thought to hold wires as they chew through them.
