@SolarFlare13 That would make sense for Banjo to be placed in 64, but  Guess the creators of the game might not know how to use Kazooie alongside Banjo. Considering how they made Ice Climbers for Melee.

Also, I'm really hoping this isn't the final evolutions for the starters. I mean, Scorbunny's evolution looks okay. Grookey's and Sobbles evolutions? Uh...I might have to pass on that. I know that Grookey is meant to be a sort of drummer based on the stick it's carrying. I also know that Sobble is meant to be a sort of spy theme, but I don't know how the evolution in the picture represents a spy. 

I just hope we get some evolutions for the starters that we can love and appreciate. 

@Dynamo Pad I think it was partly because Banjo Kazooie wasn't AS popular as they were back at the time, so that's why they weren't in the game, which is a bit of shame 

Scorbunny's evolution looks really good in that picture.  the other two...not so much 

Sobble's one is ok. A bit underwhelming if you ask me Grookey's one...looks horrible. Personally, I want it to evolve into a green silver-back gorilla...or a green-baboon with HUGE canines  

I just hope that image is fake and game-freak can give us a REAL surprise *fingers crossed*

Been meaning to say:

 1. It doesn't haven't the "flare" accoutrements the final evolutions usually have. I point out Blaziken as compared to Torchic. I know Game Freak, and they refuse to do the predictable! That final lizard form is just so bland and says nothing of the theme of "really good at using water." The rabbit version is a lot more expected.

 2. Such weird, unusable details though. Why does the rabbit have its own egg coloration/design? That ain't even a thing that happens in the game world! Why would there be a sketch of the ape with its hair down? That stick in its hair would be part of the model & unmoveable. So many details smack of just random, unrelated doodlings.

 That lizard seriously just looks like a bigger, bluer Keckleon. The lizard nobody remembers! That's aint what they'd do! It wouldn't just be a "Bigger Monkey" it'd be "Big Monkey with chest designs like a football field and these huge, ornate gold letterings and..."

 First n' foremost, its outlandish and fantastical. An ape that has bushes is tame by this franchise's design patterns, heh!
