I'm not OP, but I'm sorry if I'm doubtful as fuck over ANY final evolution leak that doesn't happen to have any sort of middle evo.
People who make fake leaks tend to make more final evolution leaks rather than middle or both final and mid because that's where everyone's focus is at and they entirely forget about middle stages because of that and because it requires more time to make each stage well designed while making some sort of sense while keeping it as well drawn as possible and adding middle stages to that merely means more work into the pile.
So okay, let's just assume these are in fact real, why didn't the same person who managed to sneak these posted the middle evolutions as well? True, there's the possibility that they just couldn't by some means, but someone else just so managed to take a picture of both mid and final evos previously with no fret, although it might have been so at some expense later on. Why couldn't this person manage to find a more high-res version of these images? These doesn't look like photos, this merely looks like something that was saved as a thumbnail. Given its resolution and the quality of the art after jpeg artifact, there's clearly a cleaner version of it SOMEWHERE, we just don't know where. Where did they even save it from? Why did this person leak these in the first place? If it were someone from the translation team or from any job in Game Freak/Nintendo for that matter, why would they risk their jobs like that just to show something to the world that would eventually be shown either way?
