Today I am looking over fan art of what people predict the Scarlet & Violet starters will eventually evolve into. I will feature 5 fanarts for each of the three Starters and give my opinions on each art, if i want it to be real, as well as how likely it may or may not be true to the real thing.

Bare in mind that as of right now we DONT know what the Starters will evolve into yet. These are just predictions.

Sprigatito

Based on the leaks we've been given so far for Scarlet & Violet, Sprigatito's final evolution will end with it becoming bipedal as well as being a Grass-Dark type. There's also been recent speculation as a leak from a credible leaker, The Riddler, suggests that Sprigatito's final evolution will have it looking like a Masquerade magician. An in game leak of a picture of part of Sprigatitos final evolution has it wearing a large neck piece like a lion's mane. Bare all these in mind with the fanarts I'm about to feature.

1. Cat in Boots/Musketeer Design Inspiration

This fanart of what Sprigatito's line may eventually look like has been floating around since the games have been announced and it's one of my personal favorites from the community so far. Following the Spanish story about the Cat in Boots as well as the Legend of Zoro, a swordsman Masquerade cat makes perfect sense for the Sprigatito line. I can most definitely see the Grass-Dark typing present in this design and it fits almost all of the leaks we've recieved for the game so far.

Do I feel this design is likely to happen in game? Most definitely! Or at least something similar to such.

Do I WANT this design to be real?
YES!

2. Another Cat in Boots/Musketeer Inspiration

We have yet another final evolution prediction with a Cat in Boots & Musketeer Inspiration. I feel this final evolution prediction is less likely to happen then the one featured above as this design doesn't scream that it's a Dark type to me. It feels too feminine to me too and that i think Pokemon will try to hold off from making Sprigatito's final evolution from becoming sexually suggestive. I firmly believe it's TOO similar to Braixen! Therefore, I feel this prediction just doesn't seem likely.

Do I want this design to be real?
I like the idea, but not this execution

Do I think it'll be real or close to the final product?
As mentioned earlier, this design fits a lot of what the leaks suggest Sprigatito will become so I feel the idea is most definitely present but it won't be happening. This design is WAY too similar to Braixen as it is.

3. Flamenco Dancer

A Flamenco Dancer inspired design, the fanbase is pretty divided on if Sprigatito will end up as a swordsman or a dancer. I'm not entirely on board with this prediction, I won't deny its pretty cool. It partially fits the descriptions of some of the leaks such as being bipedal, having a neck piece of some sort and wearing a Masquerade mask.

Do I think this will end up being real or close to the end product?
It's farther away from the mark than the Swordsman Sprigatito predictions. This design in particular feels too busy and unlike Pokemon's normal design style to even be real either. I can see the dark typing on it too, but the design as a whole doesn't fit in with traditional dark types already in the series. So no, I don't think this'll be anywhere near close to the real end product.

4. Another Flamenco Dancer

Here we have another Flamenco Dancer inspired prediction and you guys know how much I love this. It's simplistic yet effective.

Do I think this prediction will be real or anywhere near close to the end product?
As much as I want this to be Sprigatito's final evolution, I know it won't happen or be anywhere near close. This design lacks ALOT of what the leaks are alluding to such as the lack of a neck piece, a Masquerade mask let alone how this Pokemon doesn't seem like it'd be a dark type. Instead, this fan art makes it seem like this evolution would be pure Grass type or maybe Grass Poison type.

5. Lynx Inspiration

Now this prediction right here ranks as high as #1 for the Sprigatito evolution predictions. It has nearly everything the leaks have featured such as it being Bipedal, it's neck piece and it SCREAMS Grass-Dark type. The only thing it's lacking is the Masquerade mask. This design, although just a little too busy, seems like it really did come from the Pokemon Company. I can believe Sprigatito would evolve into this compared to all the other predictions.

Do I think this'll wind up being real or close to the end product?
I feel there's a good chance the end product would end up being similar to this prediction be it with obvious design alterations such as making the design feel less busy by removing some of the leopard markings on its fur and also by maybe toning down his head a little bit cause I won't deny the top half of this design is awful busy.

Fuecoco

Based on leaks we've been given so far for Fuecoco, Fuecoco's final evolution will have it become a Fire-Ghost type. It will become a Quadruped, remain a Crocodile and have a large headpiece similar to that of the small hairs on Fuecoco's 1st stage design. A credible leaker claims that Fuecoco's evolution will wind up becoming a Singer. Bare all these in mind with the fanarts I'm about to feature.

1. Dinosaur/T-Rex Inspiration

This prediction/fanart has been around since Scarlet & Violet has been announced. I won't deny, I love it. It seems like something Pokemon would do and it keeps many of the design features that Fuecoco brought to the table like the fire head piece and his skull face.

Do I think this prediction will become real or close to the end product.
Despite how nicely designed this is and how real it could become, I doubt this prediction would wind up becoming real. This fan art is true to only one of the leaks given for Fuecoco and that it's a Ghost-Fire type. Therefore, it seems this prediction is nowhere near correct.

2. Another Dinosaur prediction

Yet again with a Dinosaur prediction as this prediction fan art depicts Fuecoco's final evolution to look similar to that of a lambeosaurus. Again, I like it but this prediction looks nothing like what the leaks are suggesting

Do I think this prediction is real or will be close to the final product?
Not at all. This prediction, although it is a cool fan art that I especially like, is farther away from the leaks than the first entry. You cannot tell that this Pokemon would be Fire-Ghost type. Instead it comes off as a Fire-Grass MAYBE Fire-Normal type. It doesn't have a firey headpiece, it doesn't look like a Singer and it ain't quadruped either. So no, this prediction is far real.

3. Flamenco Dancer

Similar to the Flamenco Dancer leaks that went around early in this games development, someone applied it to Fuecoco. Honestly, I like it. This is what I initially thought Fuecoco would wind up as while the majority of the fanbase thinks Fuecoco would wind up as a Feraligatr clone. However... There's reasons why this Prediction ain't up to par with the previous ones.

Do I think this prediction is real or similar to the end production.
Yes and no. This prediction looks more likely to happen than the previous two considering it took Inspiration from the Flamenco Dancer leaks. However, this prediction doesn't exactly follow the leaks. It's not Ghost-Fire type and it's not a Quadruped HOWEVER it also follows the leaks as it's a Flamenco Dancer and it has a large headpiece.

4. Feathered Raptor Inspiration

THIS right here feels the most likely to happen out of ALL the predictions I've seen from the fanbase to date when it comes to Fuecoco. This design is simplistic, it feels believable from the Pokemon Company, I feel that this design could be both Biped and Quadruped and it follows the leaks as it keeps its Crocodile features as well as has its large headpiece.

Do I feel this prediction is real or will be close to the final product?
It's the closest so far compared to literally ALL of the predictions of Fuecoco to date. It follows all of the leaks so far except one thing. This thing is 100% NOT a ghost type. This thing screams Fire-Ground or Fire-Dragon more...

5. Serpent Inspiration

Very early on in the announcement of Scarlet & Violet for some reason a majority of the fanbase was determined that Fuecoco would wind up becoming some sort of serpent in its final evolution. This is due to the Chinese zodiac fire starter theory.

Do I think this prediction is real or is close to the final product?
Despite how uncanny this thing looks, it fits ALL of the leaks so far. It's large headpiece, it's quadruped and I can also see it becoming a Ghost-Fire type. Compared to the rest of the predictions, this prediction fits the leaks provided best. The only issue here is, I literally cannot see this thing ever becoming a real Pokemon.

Quaxley

Surprisingly we don't know much about Quaxley. Based on leaks so far, Quaxley will end up as a Water-Fighting type and that it's final evolution has a large headpiece as expected since Quaxley looks as though he has Josuke/Jojo's Bizarre Adventure hair on the top of his head. A leak from a credible source claims that Quaxley's final evolution resembles that of a dancer. Bare all this in mind with the fanarts I'm about to feature.

Also... We have gotten an officially leaked photo of Quaxly's final evolution. It's just the head, but it's a real leak. Here you go!

1. Matador Inspiration

This fanart has been around since Scarlet & Violet have been announced and I won't deny how much I'd love for this to be real but unfortunately it won't. I actually have no idea what Quaxly will wind up as, but I can almost guarantee that a Matador is the last thing it'll become. I can see Pokemon making this into a real thing though!

Do I think this prediction will become real or become close to the end product?
Again, as much as I'd love for this to be real, I know this isn't gonna come anywhere near close to what Pokemon has in mind. I DO however can firmly see this becoming a Water-Fighting type as predicted.

2. Swan Inspiration

This is the only prediction that I've seen for Quaxley that gives the Pokemon a more animal and feminine design. Most Quaxly predictions depict the evolution as a masculine sailor. So this beautiful Swan prediction is a nice change of pace compared to everything else.

Do I think this design will become real or close to the final product.
I can guarantee you that this won't ever be real. Yeah, it gives dancer vibes but it's just WAY too similar to Swanna. Also, this thing would be Water-Flying NOT Water-Fighting as it's been predicted to become.

3. Sailor Inspiration

Out of all the Starters so far, clearly the fanbase believes Quaxly is the most likely of the trio to become a humanoid Pokemon cause for some reason Pokemon has been making the Starters progressively more and more humanoid with each generation. HOWEVER I'm enjoying humanoid sailor Quaxly. It just fits!!! A sailor/pirate duck is what we need. End of Story.

Do I think this prediction will become real or close to the final product?
IF Quaxly's final evolution design hadn't already been leaked, I would've 100% thought Quaxly would end up looking like a sailor. This thing looks incredibly similar to something Pokemon would actually make too!

4. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Inspiration

This one's just for fun but you cannot deny that this would look like something Pokemon would put out there. This fanart/prediction depicts Quaxly and its evolutions as Josuke from the anime series: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and you cannot deny that this just fits and I'd love to see this being a thing.

Do I think this could become real or be close to the final product.
No, this one is a joke as stated above but I do absolutely love this fanart.

5. Dancer Inspiration

THIS is most likely going to wind up becoming Quaxly's final evolution as it is one of the only depictions that are inspired by the leaked picture of Quaxly's evolution. I'm not disappointed, but I'm not blown away by this design either. This design is inspired by ALL of Quaxly's leaks as Quaxly is a Water-Fighting type and that it's supposed to become a Flamenco Dancer. Sure enough, this design depicts it as a Flamenco Dancer and I can very well see it's Water-Fighting type present.

Do I think this design is real or be close to the end product?
Yes. 100%. This is the final evolution of Quaxly OR its 90% close to being so. It's fits the leaked pictures on top of fitting all the leaks so far. So, expect this prediction to be the final product.

Which of Quaxly, Sprigatito and Fuecoco's evolution predictions do you think will end up being real? Any that you so happen to really like?
