Apparently an image of the final evolutions for the new starters have been leaked not too long ago, and rumor has it that the image in question has been disappearing from Google image search. Putting details below in spoilers (contains the image of the three starter evolutions plus other potential spoilers).

"A Chinese rumor about Pok?mon Sun & Moon has seemingly gained credibility after predicting a Poison/Fire-type Pok?mon which was fulfilled with the reveal of Salandit. You can read it below, translated by Cresselia~~ of Smogon Forums.
In addition, it seems that the majority of the images of the “leaked” starters (seen above) have mysteriously disappeared from Google image search. There is no way of knowing but it is possible official takedown notices have been sent to have them removed from search results. This is a warning: I may soon remove the images myself."
- There will be no traditional Gyms and no Pok?mon League in Alola. Your goal is to actually create one. After you do, an Elite 4 will appear which are the leaders of each island
- The final starter evolutions will be an Archer, a Wrestler and a Siren
- The diamond stones will be collectible throughout the region and act similarly to Mega Stones but not exactly
- New Pok?mon based on a dolphin, sea cucumber, snowman, mushroom and a rugby monkey are there
- Rockruff’s evolution is a Werewolf
- Mashadow, another copyrighted Pok?mon name, has a very unique type combo
Not sure how reliable of a source pokejungle.net is, but seeing as how other online communities that I participate in have already begun discussing this I figured I would try to spark discussion here as well.
As for my thoughts, I sort of hope that this is real but at the same time hope it isn't. Rowlet's and Popplio's final evolutions are really amazing in my opinion... but Litten's final evolution just seems really inappropriate. I mean, look at where it is shooting fire out off, sure it is not exactly in that region but it comes very close. Not to mention it's design just seems to scream Fire/Fighting type at me.
I like Rowlet's and Popplio's "final evolutions" but Litten's isn't doing it for me. It reminds me too much of the Fire/Fifhting route and if we go that way then we would have 4/7 Fire Fighting starters which is ridiculous.
Popplio's final evolution screams Fairy type to me. I wanna Moonblast Popplio!
