The leaks were from before they enforced the new rule that the final forms should keep people on their toes and look nothing like the forms that came before. The owl will be a wrestler, the water abomination will be a bubble sniper and the cat will be a pop star.

Second forms of starters are usually kinda lame but Brionne bucks the trend by being great instead

torracat is probably torrid + cat with some tora(japanese for tiger) for flavor

2nd stage evos are always the least popular of the starters anyway so what's it matter if they're all rear end-ugly and should be thrown into the incinerator

I like Frogadier and Bayleef. Seems like everyone agrees the Gen IV mid-tiers are all bland and forgettable, though.
