The starter evolutions for Pokemon Sword and Shield might have just been leaked

If true, this is a new low.

A metric ton of leaks have been dropping left and right for Pokemon Sword and Shield. The leaks show off a bunch of new Pokemon, Pokemon forms, gameplay features, and most importantly - starter evolutions!

Gamefreak has been playing mum on the starter evolutions, but that hasn’t stopped leakers from uploading pictures from the game onto Twitter and Reddit. First off, huge spoiler warning for players who want to go in blind! For those who need to know which starters end up looking awesome (hint: none of them do), here you go:

Sobble > Sizzile > Intelleon

Sobble's final evolution - Intelleon.

Grookey > Drumpanzee > Rillaboom

Grookey's final evolution - Rillaboom.

Scorbunny > Raboot > Cinderace

Scorbunny's final evolution - Cinderace.

It's not in great quality, but there you go. Personally - I feel like these are the worst final evolutions we’ve seen from starter Pokemon in a long time. I was fully on board the Sobble train before, but now? Yikes. Why does every starter have to end up looking so humanoid?
