You can tell if leaks are legit or not by whether they match the professional-level illustration style of the usual artists.

Kawaii has two I's. かわいい、not かわい。also concept art is for concept art, not opinions. So, yeah, they're fake. Steel Eevee is kinda lame but Flying (?) Eevee is cute if not especially distinct.

EDIT: Also that says Winter 2019 and we're about a week away from it being Spring so, yeah, nope.

EDIT2: Steeleon looking curious is labeled as 珍しい. They translated "curious" but they picked the wrong word, that word (mezurashii) means curious as in rare, mysterious, unusual. It is not an expression. Extremely fake.

EDIT3: The bottom right of Steeleon is a completely hosed up attempt to write "Iron Tail." Both Iron and Tail are written incorrectly in Japanese and beyond that, Iron Tail's Japanese name is just Iron Tail in English lol.

EDIT4: Flyeon's neutral expression uses the word neutral as in Neutrality, not a normal expression. It also uses then wrong words for "fluffy," "gust," and tail again.

EDIT: ahahaha they google translated "Flying Type" and ended up with "Aviation Archtype." The Japanese word for Type is just "Type" in English, they could have fixed half of these issues by just going to Bulbapedia, it's all right there!

Nah if he were the new Sound type he'd have a musical note theme like Meloetta and Chatot. Fakeon is clearly a pure Flying type. Flyingorus has been smug with his title of "only single type unique type" and needs to be taken down.

Anyway SOUND TYPE WHEN I have a big list of chaps who are going to get it

I've been hoping for a pure flying type Eevee for a while now, so I WANT this to be real...but I guess we'll know for sure in a month.

Nostalgia is a powerful thing. Most people want to use new monsters in a new game. On the other hand, some simply don't want to and they're attached to some that are viewed as old friends.

I have my favorites (Jigglypuff and Shellos), and I'm happy if they show up in the wild in a new game, but I'm also happy if I can just import one from a previous generation. I certainly don't want an entire region to consist of mostly old Pokemon. Half of the fun for me is learning about these new monsters and what they can do, and how I can use them to annoy the gently caress out of my friends.

Until I've beaten the Elite 4, I won't use anything but new pokeymans to try and get me some New Friends. This is the correct and true way to play the game. Gen 5 is the only generation to really get me.

I agree. I only use older Pokemon if there's something new to them (Blaziken and Azumarill in Y because of Megas/Fairies respectively, Alolan Forms in S and UM). Otherwise, let me try the new stuff. We have like a thousand of these dogs, I'm not going to stick with the same every time.

all leaks are real but the realest leaks aren’t pictures they’re 4chan posts from a chinese guy saying like

“one looks like a stick of dynamite with angel wings. one of them is a ball of water with a fish inside. it evolves into two fish”

The best way to tell those Eeveelutions are fake is because they look like what someone would imagine Steel and Flying Eevees would look like. Any actual new evolutions will look weird and unexpected.

This rule also applies to trying to imagine what starters will evolve into.

Yeah, Eeveelutions are the leaks i'd trust the least because last time we had one with flesh ribbons.

Anyway, for now I'm mostly expecting anime design sheets, so if it doesn't have Ash somewhere, it's probably fake.

Mimikyu is the only one that has an in-universe explanation. The rest are just easy marketing, but that's out-of-universe.
