Also I would quite like to make a flying octopus.
Just throwing that out there.
We are, that was originally going to be my starter submission but if we're doing them as one project I figured I'd just submit it seperately as a non starter.
Why? "Slayfish" was a joke.
One of my concepts is an octopus, but not a flying one. A flying one would be pretty cool.
>koala Pokemon
Idea processing...ETA...Whenever...
^A blue ringed octopus?
^^^ Water/Flying Blue Ringed Octopus with Poison Point as an ability?
Probably Flying/Poison. Water type would imply that it's still an octopus in anything but appearance.
Crimson: If I do do a koala, it's going to be, as stated before, based a bit on the drop bear to poke fun at it
I was thinking about a two-stage Mosquito Pokemon, but do we really need that to be the equivalent of Zubat?
Lazuli: Oh god... Flying, Poisonous Octopi...
THEY ARE THE NEW ZUBAT! ALL HAIL OUR ZUBAT OVERLORDS!
Lai: Dark/Bug with levitate for the Mosquito? I've always wanted a mosquito Pokemon
Fuck no. No Zubat equivalent.
I think Alkthash already had a Mosquito Pokemon idea anyway.
Yeah, figured as much on the Zubat idea. I wasn't for it myself. Did not know Alkthash was making one though.
I was thinking octopus, too, but I was going to go at it from a Water/Psychic Lovecraftian deep sea monster angle.
But flying octopus thing sounds cool, too, either Flying/Poison or Flying/Psychic, imo, depending on what we choose to do with it.
Nova: But we must have a Zubat equivalent
It's in the manual or something. "All Pokemon games must have either Zubat or a Zubat proxy"
I don't think Pokemon really needs anything Lovecraftian.
Giratina was the closest we got, and I think that's the closest it needs.
>If I do do a koala, it's going to be, as stated before, based a bit on the drop bear to poke fun at it
Well my idea was going to be a Normal type that has an ability that makes it go to sleep whenever it's sent in/switched out, but if it's woken up for any reason it goes berserk and all its stats double.
Because apparently koalas act like that.
@Octopus: Oh dear god we're all going to submit octopus ideas and be forced to choose only one, aren't we?
No. Just pretend that the drop bears killed them all or something, and were replaced by new, better Pokemon.
Crimson: Oh dear god that's PERFECT!
Champion MUST have one holding a Chesto Berry, however
They don't go berserk just for waking up- they go berserk if they're threatened.
Nova: We are having a Zubat proxy, whether you like it or not
No we are not, Icalasari.
I will murder each and every person involved in this project before I allow a Zubat proxy into the game.
Zubats are a menace and should be extinct.
I thought the Zubat proxy was going to be . . . basically every migrating pokemon, hence the mechanical reward of reducing encounter rates once the Big Bad Legendary is dealt with.
With that said, I won't stand for ya talkin' shit about mah Zubat, though, Nova.
Personally, I always found Pidgeys far more annoying.
^^^It's a futile gesture. If anything is common enough it WILL become a Zubat equivalent.
Nova, something will end up being a Zubat proxy just because it is common and/or annoying
Fuck, Jellap is intended to be a Tentacool proxy with Thunderwave, Wrap, and other fun attacks
Besides, we can make the annoying proxies rare, so they can be annoying but not, you know, debilitate your whole fucking team just for walking a single step
Anyway, here are a few of my concepts in concise form (longer post coming)
Rock/Poison Cone Snail (possibly with Water/Poison shell-less Prevolution)
Pure flying Sugar Glider; evolves into pure flying Sifaka (both are mammals capable of gliding)
Grass/Electric type, based on one of the various species of glowing mushroom found around the world.
And a joke one:
Normal-type, magikarp-like Koala, evolves into Normal/Dark Dropbear.
No, the idea was to reduce them gradually as you fix individual areas.
Fucking... fuck
At that point, it is no longer a Zubat proxy, though.
The problem with Zubat is that it is annoying to defeat, plus it is overly common, resulting in you either wasting Repels or spending ages running from each fight because it's just not worth the frustration of fighting them.
I was being somewhat facetious before, but I really don't think that allowing a single, annoying enemy to be overly common is a good idea.
CU: Yep, I think you have the Koala one down. +1 vote from me. Yes I know we're not voting yet. Just shut up and take the vote
