they're not official lol. the style doesn't match anything they've done before (ie the colors look like they were blended by a photoshop amateur), the lines are too rough, etc.
Quote from tdk:
they look fake to me, especially because the right two look retarded.
looking at nintendo's track record, that's not a legitimate reason. :P
Serebii posted these images this morning, saying they're supposedly from Coro-Coro, where they expect the real deal to be coming from once we're 100% sure. So it's possible these are the real starters and main characters, but there is still some room for doubt basically. (The main characters at least seem real to me, given that we've seen the female character in some of the screenshots already.)
Not sure about these guys since I have no idea what the grass and water ones are. But either way, that fire pig stands out as my frontrunner since 1: I can recognize it, and 2: it seems kinda cool. So once again, it's looking like the fire starter will win the battle for me. (4 out of 5 if this happens.)
those look legit to me. interestingly enough, i like the look of the grass one best so i may end up going 5 for 5 for grass. water one is cool too though. fire pig is lame. it's just a cuter grumpig.
Both those trainers rule, but they have a LOT to make up for in terms of girl trainers. May was ok, but generally they're just the Male trainer with no sleeves, miniskirts and bigger hat/hair.

I kinda like Grumpig though, so that doesn't matter to me as much. Besides, who knows what these three will turn into by the end, so any one of these could turn out to be either awesome or lame by their final evolution. And maybe it's just the color choice, but it almost looks like the fire pig could eventually become part dark by the end, which would be cool since I love Houndoom. Honestly can't tell with the other two what they could theoretically become.
As far as trainers go, Serebii notes that they're supposed to be a bit older than we're used to seeing, which probably has a lot to do with their designs. They look closer to Coliseum's main character as far as age goes, which was one thing that character had going for him. But yes, I like them a lot as well.
the tail was a big giveaway. looks like silhouettes can't hide pigs.
also, the grass one looks like he's thinking about something sneaky. he could end up as a Dark type later. Fire one becomes Psychic because of gumpig similarity and the water one morphs into a boxing panda and i win with my type prediction. or they could go on like 2nd gen and end up as single types.
yeah, grass one looks pretty bad ass, especially compared to the other two. i might want to look at their evolutions first though. also, the girl does rock.
I want to see what they evolve to before choosing which one I like most. The grass one looks the best as of now, hopefully he will evolve into something cool. The first one looks pretty meh and generic as far as starters go, doubt he will evolve into anything good. The water one looks pretty good actually, he looks like he could evolve into something pretty cool.
