The name in Mandarin also has the word monkey in it.
Why are denial fags so pathetic?

I fully believe the leak at this point, but to be fair, the leaker was mistaken. What was described in the leak and what we got are close enough, though, for everyone to go along with it.

While "simian" clearly suggests "monkey", you gotta realize that "Prosimian" is the name for the group that includes lemurs and lorises. In fact, lemurs (and the broader Prosimians) are considered primates anyway, but distinct enough to not be considered monkeys.

It's incredibly common for Pokemon to be based off multiple things, of course. However, going by Passimian's color, the color and shape of its tail, and the shape of its feet, it's definitely a lemur, and not a monkey.

EVEN SO, leak is still legitimate. The confusion is understandable and it was right on multiple earlier points.

I have not kept up with the leaks this round, but this is the same with every other generation we've had.

"Leakers" often get access to early information, and in many cases, things can be changed. Sometimes it's a slight tweak and other times they change the entire design. If there's a leak out there that said this was a "Rugby monkey" this honestly fits the bill. If they generally get the concept down, if it doesn't fit exactly it's likely either because of cultural/translation issues (leakers from other countries, like China) or because of a redesign or something.

The game is still being worked out, even right now, things are changing. People should keep that in mind when they read through leaks. There's always going to be more bullshit than no, but the only time we'll know exactly whats in the game is when the game itself drops and we can see for ourselves.

Wait, are denialfags seriously saying "It's not a rugby monkey, it's a football lemur!" to try and disprove the leaks?
I didn't think they get could any lower then "actually it's a sea bunny" and "Ash's hat is different!"

Then again, this is the same board that denied Hawluicha because "his feathers are assymetrical!!!!"

It really doesn't fucking matter.
The only thing that matters is if someone could look at this Pokemon or read about it and go 'oh, a rugby monkey' and the answer to that is yes.

It's not like the chinese leaks were made by someone who fucking painstakingly designed every single individual pokemon. It's irrelevant. Guaranteed that the leaker is just some guy who just so happened to have access to information (but not necessarily all information, thus omissions to things people would think pertinent to reveal (alola forms, the primary function of z moves, etc))

It really, really doesn't matter, and the people who are autistically insisting that the pokemon is clearly a lemur and therefore it has nothing to do with the chinese leaks (agian, despite the fact it literally has fucking simian in its name) are fucking retards.

Most people don't know that lemurs aren't monkeys. Fuck, I didn't know until all this bullshit on /vp/ today. Arguing over the specifics of lemur vs monkey is silly, the point is we have a fucking rugby-playing primate just like the leak said and that's way too specific to be a coincidence.

I can understand that. During the Hawlucha leak I sperged out not because people were denying it, but because I was fucking baffled not only at how /vp/ couldn't comprehend basic fucking perspective, they thought "asymmetrical feathers" was a valid argument against a Pokemon's legitimacy.

Honestly people can't say this disproves the leak at all, the concept of "rugby monkey" is still there even if it is actually a lemur. Plus the idea of it being an "American football lemur", isn't wrong either since rugby is a form of football and it could be understood where the confusion comes from.

This.

Denialfags got BTFO and they're just shitting about it at this point. It's an obviously ball-playing primate. Chinese Leaks were as specific as they could be with that knowledge. I'm also a zoology major, and when I saw it, I said "There it is, the rugby monkey," not "Wow, that's not a monkey at all, it's a lemur with a melon. Leaks BTFO". It's way too specific to just be guessed.

why not acknowledge that the creature is painfully obviously based off of a lemur, but is just as obviously the "rugby monkey" from the leak? it can be both things, and it is.

Maybe if it actually had a trademark lemur striped tail I would agree with you.

it has a stripe on its tail. Beyond that, though, it has the general appearance and body shaping of that of a lemur.
