Pokémon leak reveals bizarre new designs
UPDATE: Big fish, little dragon, insect box. Confirmed!

Ahead of an official reveal later this week, these new designs popped up on 4chan of all places. The screengrabs were quickly followed by gameplay videos backing up the images' veracity.
The videos look like they come from a Russian outlet trusted with the information ahead of embargo. Oops.
Behold your new Pokémon friends:
And here are the videos, for however long they last until they're pulled. We should have official confirmation of these critters tomorrow.
