Sounds like they came to the right place.
That's exactly what I was thinking!
Alkthash,
How good are you with puns?
Unfortunately I Haven't got much talent there.
As for Pokemon brainstorming, these are not really as creative as some of the other stuff people have come up with, so feel free to pay them no heed if you wish.
Mask Themed Pokemon: The first stage would be a small brown upright rodent with gray stubs for limbs, sporting a small pair or metal spectacles and a metallic surgical mask. Its typing would be Normal/Steel I guess. The next stage would be a larger rodent coated in a rusted, corroded color of steel, wearing a a metal face-covering gas mask equipped with a big exhaust pipe hooked up to where the mouth should be. The exhaust pipe would be the source of attacks like Smokescreen, Poison Gas, Explosion, Flamethrower etc. and the thing would probably be Steel/Poison and have Overcoat.
Pig Dragon Pokemon: This thing's first stage would just be a small, Normal type pig with two tails mostly colored pink with splotches of brown. After leveling up at a certain place, it evolves into its next stage, a huge creature with the body and snout of a pig and four scaly dragon wings plus a lizardlike tail. That stage would be either Dragon or Normal/Dragon I suppose, if any of that makes sense.
Cleansing Pokemon: A sea butterfly Pokemon with a fairy aesthetic. I figure that it could be the region's equivalent of Chansey/Audino and be a pure water type specializing in defense and healing.
---
Panda Pokemon: The first stage (Panhoot/Pahoot) would be a panda cub holding a bamboo shoot. Three leaves would be sprouting from the top of its head to add to the Normal/Grass or pure grass aesthetic. After reaching its second stage (Pando/Pandoh), the panda is slightly bigger, but still relatively small (like the difference between Charmander and Charmeleon). The leaves multiply and now form the small outline of a crown and the bamboo shoot is replaced by part of a bamboo stalk. The stalk is normally tied around the Pokemon's back, but like the Oshawott family and their shells, it would be used as a weapon when in battle.
Once in its third stage (Panreign/Pareign), the Pokemon is now a full-fledged tubby adult panda. The stalk, now fashioned into a walking stick/cane, keeps it upright. A leaf dǒulì replaces the crown atop its head. I am thinking that either that third stage would be a Truant/Slow Start type or just be a high defenses, low speed thing. One maybe interesting idea would be to give it a new special type Slow Start, but given the unpopularity of Slow Start, that might be a bad idea.
I actually really like the Pig Dragon and the Cleansing Pokemon.
I'm not so sure about the Mask one, but I certainly have no objections to it.
Casowary Pokemon Y/N?
I feel like we may have too many birds.
If we're going to do another bird Pokemon, it had better be an emu.
Oh, I should probably give all of mine names!
Water/Dark Lizard line:
Lizalisk the Water Walking Pokemon
Dionydark the Shelled Raptor Pokemon
Satalliger the Boneyard Pokemon
Dark/Rock Tasmanian Tiger line
Taslate the Toothed Tasmanian Pokemon
Sabrelate the Slate Tiger Pokemon
More ideas:
Two-Mon electric jellyfish line
Jellap the Static Sting Pokemon. A small jellyfish with no eyes. The arms are tipped with what look similar to spark plugs, and they are arcing. The "head" has a hard yellow "fin" on it that resembles a lightning bolt. The body is electric blue with yellow highlights. The spark plugs are either white or black. It is known to stab prey with two tentacles - always a single white one and a single black one - and pump them full of electricity
Manovolt the Thunder Jelly Pokemon. A large jellyfish. The spark plugs are bigger but are now found on only two of its many tentacles. These two tentacles are large, thick, and look segmented. There are three "fins" on it now, the left and right ones large and arcing electricity. Still the same colour scheme. It will ensnare prey in its endless tentacles. If it feels threatened, it will touch its two spark plugs together and create a burst of electricity in the water that stuns everything, at which point it decides to either escape or, if it feels like the predator is knocked out, turn the predator into prey
Moa's are basically super-emus anyway.
Yes, but the emu is our national animal. Did you know that?
No, you should give all of mine names.
I don't really like the gas mask Pokemon. It feels more like the Poison Legendary is creating Pokemon explicitly to kill humans
^^ Don't worry, I can make a ton of names
I am good with names somehow
I actually thought it was more like an engine. The Poison-type stuff is the carbon monoxide and other exhaust stuff.
Eeexcellent.
FWIW one of mine is going to be a pure flying type that isn't a bird. Or a bat, for that matter.
Okay, how's this then? The Moa/Emu isn't a fossil anymore, and we have Dark/Flying Casowaries that harass the Moa/Emus. We come up with other fossils and the Haast's Eagle is the Aerodactyl equivalent.
>I actually thought it was more like an engine. The Poison-type stuff is the carbon monoxide and other exhaust stuff.
I was thinking of something more natural. To avoid the cliche "technology is corruption" angle. I don't really want the corruption to be anyone's fault per se, as opposed to the result of lots of factors causing the legendary to act this way.
I also demand an echidna Pokemon. And a koala Pokemon.
^ That works.
I feel like if the region should have an abundance of anything, it should be poison types
Seriously Nova, I think your country's number one exports are death, death by pain, death by poison, and pain by poison =/
Okay, I know it lives nowhere near Australia, but if you're talking birds, this motherfucker is what you need. It'd be perfect for Flying/Fighting or something like it. It can kick snakes to death.
I was considering that, but unless we overhaul the game balance a fair bit, an overabundance of poison-types would only hurt the game.
^ Hence why the types should be somewhat equal in numbers where it's reasonable
FTFY.
And yesh, I agree that Pokemon should not seem to be acitvely malicious agents of whatever our big bad is going to be.
Oh, there's an idea. A Water/Poison Blue Ringed Octopus (single Pokemon in its line)
I still need a name for mr. Pistol Shrimp. I suck with nicknaming my own Pokemon. >>
I just considered it to be sort of like Klink.
But the types have never been equal in numbers.
Also does anyone have any thoughts at all on mine?
I mean I really like mine.
Lazuli: Funnily, Lizalisk is based on the basilisk, which is also known as the Jesus Lizard
I don't know why that went through twice.
Hence the joke.
Lai: Fusisnap? Shristol?
It should be called SLAYFISH
@Lazuli: I like them, but...I thought we were doing starters separately >.>
^^ I read your Smokitty line
I think you should be banned from making names
^ Also what you said
