'Pokémon Sun And Moon' are slated to hit the shelves on November 18, and everyone will be delving into the Alola region in no time. However, a rumor regarding the highly-anticipated role-playing video games have resurfaced online and it specifically centers on the starter Pokemon.

Not too long ago, an image that resembled the concept art of the final stages of Rowlet, Popplio and Litten began doing rounds online. However, not many people took the leak seriously considering it to be fake or fan art, but recent a post on the Smogon message boards and then NeoGaf has cited a source close to the Chinese localization team for "Pokemon Sun" and "Pokemon Moon" unveiling new details about the games.

Nevertheless, this is a mere speculation and it is recommended to take it with a grain of salt. What makes this post somewhat believable is that it aptly predicted Salandit's existence before the studio officially announced it.

Check out what the supposed leaker says:

  • Sun and Moon's starters will be hinged on a siren, a wrestler and an archer (which is in sync with the image that has been doing rounds online).
  • New Pokemon based on a dolphin, a mushroom, a snowman, a rugby monkey and a sea cucumber will be unveiled.
  • Rockruff will evolve into a werewolf.
  • Marshadow, a character that has been branded along with Solgaleo and Lunala, will boast an extremely unique typing.
  • "Pokemon Sun and Moon" will not feature Gyms. Players are expected to set up a Gym in the Alola Region and as soon as they've done that, the Elite Four will make an appearance.
  • The bracelets that protagonists sport on their wrists will act like Mega Stones, but unlock something else. A recently-surfaced "Pokemon Sun and Moon" trailer hints a huge elemental attack.

The above short list above is definitely worth attention, especially taking the leaker's last prediction about Salandit's typing into consideration. That being said, a lot of statements in the supposed leak are extremely vague - for instance - Marshadow's "unique typing" could allude to absolutely anything, iDigitalTimes reported.

Also, predicting the Rockruff portion doesn't seem too hard; if this was leaked before its official reveal, the list would seem more credible. But right now, these are just speculations and fans will need to wait with bated breath to find out if there's any truth to them.
