It's apparent what the new legendary trio is gonna be. Should be interesting.

You think they would have added ONE MORE to make it 650, but alas. :p Melkor first revealed these numbers last week.
* There are two fossils - a turtle and a bird.
* There are a pair of Bug/Steel Pokemon (a spider and a bug with knight armor), a Grass/Steel Pokemon, and a Steel/Dark Pokemon (nicknamed "Power Ranger" because it resembles one).
* Seven Poison Pokemon are new. Three of them are #543/#544/#545 (Bug/Poison), a mushroom and his evo (unknown numbers), and a pure Poison type and his evo (unknown numbers). The pure Poison-type is described as "interesting to say the least."
* There is a Grass/Steel Pokemon that looks like a metal ball with green spikes. When it evolves tentacles come out.
* A Grass/Poison mushroom Pokemon is also new.
* Seven new Ice-types are in the game - the Dragon/Ice Legendary, a polar bear and its evolution (which is described as "cute and fierce"), a three-stage line, and a standalone Ice-type.
* New types (of Pokemon that have not been revealed yet above) include Water/Ghost, Fire/Ghost, and Fighting/Dark.
* There are no evolutions or pre-evolutions of existing Pokemon in this generation, meaning Mamanbou is not Luvdisc's evolution (tragic!). This is the first generation without any Pokemon ties to previous generations.
* There are no split-evolution Pokemon (like Gloom into Vileplume and Bellossom).

I'm sad that the fossils aren't dinosaurs :(
(if this is all true, that is)

Grass/Poison Mushroom pokemon is new?

Paras and Parasect anyone???

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Sugimori: Up until now, we designed with the philosophy that, “a mouse-like Pokemon already exists, so let’s make other Pokemon”—but this time they were all new. So, once again we designed a mouse-like Pokemon, a dog-like Pokemon, etc. from scratch.

I'm guessing we're gonna see a lot of similar sort of Pokemon to what we already have xD

Yet another turtle. Sheesh!

And I hope the Polar Bear's english name is Poler! Geddit? North Pole? I call it! Just like I called Wotter and now everyone is using it. XD

I also like the fact that there will be no pre-evolutions or evolutions of existing Pokemon.

[Kers]

hey look what i have

Spoiler:

still believe there arent any evos/prevos of existing pokemon?

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

I don't think that buffalo Pokemon is a Tauros evo, if that's what you're getting at. xD

I love the deer and the bulb Pokemon =)

After looking at that image about 10 times I just realised that the Pokeball thing is actually a Pokemon.... weird.

What really? I see a Pokemon under the Pokeball. XD

And that deer looks awesome. And the bison-looking one too.

No way, that's totally a mushroom Pokemon. @_@

Oh man, is this gonna be another one of those Pokeball-looking traps like Electrode? Except I'm guessing this one will be packing Spore.

That pink one looks A LOT like an alternate Shellos evolution. As for that rock thing; freaking adorable, just like Kirby's Rock+Cutter transformation in Kirby 64. And that puppy Pokemon. :3

For a manlier opinion: That spider, that Tyranitar-looking thing, oh and that Blue rock thingie look AWESOME.

There's also this image going around, but no one's sure if it's fake yet


I'm hoping it's fake, because otherwise we have ANOTHER Fire/Fighting starter evo...

[Gokudera-Kun]

Now that we have the scanned page, I can confidently say that it's legit. I mean, we'd be able to tell if somebody tried to alter the images, right? Yeah, glad I already decided on Smugleaf, though none of the evos look very good, imo.

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Well it turns out that the page doesn't match up with the rest of the images that were leaked, so they're not actually sure if it's fake yet or if it's just from another part of the magazine/a different magazine.

However, it's not impossible to fake stuff like that. xD

Edit: Image of the starter evos confirmed as real.
Bigger image.

See that deer? Yeah, that one. That deer's going to be mine.

Ooh, the legendary-specific attacks look impressive.(Not willing to acknowledge how terrible the evos look)

The only thing I'm dissapointed with is the shade of blue that Mijumaru's second stage is. It should be white and blue, just like Miju. But looking at its in-game sprite, it does look badass. I'm going to have a tough time picking between Mijumaru and Pokabu.
