I'm initially inclined to say that it's definitely fake, because A) This kind of stuff shows up with Pokémon all of the time, B) Those legendaries look really weird, and C) Those titles are EXACTLY the same style as Diamond/Pearl.

But...the art DOES look pretty legit. I mean, I have no clue what on earth the grass and water starters are.

I say even the art looks fake. Looks decent but too creative in a way. I dunno.

Definitely fake though 'cause of the titles.

Stamping your library books.
At first I thought the art looked very legit, but upon closer inspection I'm not too sure. The grass starter's feet look pretty awkward.

The logos are also identical to D/P, except for the writing in the bottom right corner.

I'd say it's fake just by looking at the starters.

Fire starter looks like Torchic after a load of shots of testosterone.

Grass starter has flowers which, if Pokemon kept to starter tradition (as they have thus far), the starter wouldn't even show a budding of flowers, much less flowers themselves.

Water starter is...actually, the water starter would be legit, apart from maybe the fact that I have no clue on wtf it's supposed to be based off.

I'd say fake because the legends that are accompanying the titles look too much like Deoxys(S) and Darkrai respectively

Water starter's eyes give it away. And the purple legendary seems to be based off of a CAP Pokemon.

An owl, chameleon, water slug-tadpole and two cut-to-pieces machine things.
Those legendaries look neat. :)

A fire bird, a grass lizard, and a water amphibian...

No pokemon game has used those as starters yet...

WAIT, Ruby and Sapphire use the exact same 3 animal groups for their starters...

It would be half-funny and half-sad if it turned out that this were totally legitimate.

It's doubtful, but now that we've pointed out how unoriginal and stupid-looking it is, it would be full of irony if it turned out that this is exactly what 5th gen is going to be.

Ah, found it. Stratagem was the Pokemon I was thinking of.

Fake for reasons already stated.
Those designs, though... ugh. I'd **** bricks if those were real, they're terrible... not that Nintendo's Pokemon designs have been great lately...
