  3. It pains me that I’m trying not to go too dark with these names because I have the name “Damneightion” (Neigh as in horse) literally right there

  4. Since we’re all talking about Fakemon starters, here’s mine (BTW I am really stuck on names I should give them):

    The Calf Pokemon
    Type: Grass
    Ability: Overgrow
    Height: 2′ 00″
    Weight: 36 lbs
    Appearance: It is primarily a shamrock green, with an underbelly and mouth a coloration of light green. Small, seed-like horns slightly poke from the top of its head. Two shrubs go down the main part of its back.
    Dex Entry: Often found in Prairies, this Pokemon is often found playing around other of its kind. They butt heads sometimes, which the tackle of two of this Pokemon leading to releasing a pleasant aroma. Hunters who try to attack this Pokemon will receive a major beating from its herd.

    The Sizzle Pokemon
    Type: Fire
    Ability: Blaze
    Height: 1′ 04″
    Weight: 14 lbs
    Appearance: It is a red-orange bunny that stands on its hind legs. Its paws and feet are light tan, as well as its muzzle too. It has brown fur around its neck that is spiky-like, and glows up bright yellow whenever using attacks.
    Dex Entry: This Pokemon is very friendly and loves to be around children. They possess the ability to cause small firecracker-like explosions, which enables them to also use it for tricks instead of battling. In battle, these firecracker explosions are incredible useful in battle, as they confuse and confound the opponent… or as enable a perfect escape.

    The Pond Pokemon
    Type: Water
    Ability: Torrent
    Height: 1′ 11″
    Weight: 21 lbs
    Appearance: It has the appearance of a young fawn, with a primary cornflower coloration on its body. Sapphire horns grow from its head, although they are small. It’s eyes are a dark green, perhaps the most noticeable feature of it. And baby blue spots are on its back, and the color is also on its tail.
    Dex Entry: Often, this Pokemon is located in mountain ponds or reservoirs. They are very shy of people, and usually are located faraway from civilization. However, contrary to their shy nature of humans, they are very playful with other Pokemon.

      • You would actually like it a lot I bet.
        When it evolves, it turns into a Water/Ice type, with it’s horns becoming more crystalized and translucent. The design becomes more of a Reindeer theme, with it gaining a slightly more shaggy coat that in some places tufts of fur expand out and look like mist. The Pokemon now lives near the North and South Poles, but usually most can be found in northern mountain ranges where it snows nonstop.

          • Alright here we go (I’m pretty sure if Earthen was here he would love my grass starter)
            The calf turns into a bull and then into a tall minotaur looking Pokemon that is Grass/Rock. The minotaur would have some Viking like characteristics, such as having a head that looks like a viking helmut with dangerous horns. Also about its face, it has glowing red eyes and a sneer. It’s fur is thick, mostly hanging down by the legs. A mountain like spine is on the back, with a very tall mountain top being behind its head. Leaves on its arms form what appear to look like axes.

            The rabbit evolves into a jackalope with some magician like features (strikingly similar to that of a magician that does a magic trick). Contrary to what other think, it is actually a Fire/Electric type, because of it possessing the ability to attack in a fireworks like fashion (whether it be punching the opponent or throwing orbs of plasma energy). It’s fire would extend and form almost what appears to be a cape in the lower part of its body. The head has horns that grow and also fur that grows into a clump of fur that looks like a magicians hat. It fur on its arms and legs would be white near the feet and paws, but grow out to look like gloves.

    Your resident fire starter! Actual appearance is still being worked on, hence why it isn’t listed

  6. I’m racking my brain thinking on an ability for my water starter
    It’s based on a Manta Ray infused with this electrical Plasma sort of energy. I wanted to make an ability where it charges it’s electric attacks until you use them, but Azurite already has an ability like that…

    Reply
  7. Oh I forgot to mention, my fire starter’s ability
    Cursed Blade works by placing the “Curse” status effect on whatever it does not faint, damaging itself a bit in the process

    Reply
  8. Alright here’s my starters signature moves:
    For the Grass Starter
    -Fury of Mountains:
    Rock
    90 BP
    The user goes on a stampede that lasts for 2-3 turns, after which it becomes confused

    Fire Starter:
    -Firework Rush
    Fire/Electric*
    60 BP
    The user blasts the target with plasmatic energy very quickly. Priority +2, and also is super effective on all the types that its type is (I.E. it is super effective on Ice, Grass, Steel, Bug, Water, Flying, its basically almost like Flying Press).

    Water Starter
    -Eos Mist
    Ice
    — BP
    The user creates a dense mist that glows in a multitude of colors. It somehow removes entry hazards and status conditions.

    Reply
    • Maybe change the name of the first one

      Change the whole thing completely (Maybe change it to…. AHA LIVING BOMB where it has decreased priority
      Living Bomb
      Fire
      Status
      The target becomes a living bomb, the target will explode if it uses an attack
      Does 30% of base HP (switching out deactivates it (watch out for taunters but the Pokemon itself shouldn’t learn taunt)

      Change it to Cleansing Mist

      Reply
      • Thanks for the move of the grass starter, I was stuck on what I should’ve done but this is way better than Fury of Mountains
        Also I’m trying to keep the whole Firework thing with the fire starter considering it’s based on a magician and is a Fire/Electric type, but it seems like a good idea
        And how about Purification Mist for the water one?

        Reply
  9. I managed to think of the water starters ability… its essentially an Attack-Defense mode swap like Aeigislash but… a biiiiiit different

  10. Ooh Fakemon starters!!! I wanna join!

    Thorstle: (Thorn + Thistle)
    Classification: Desert Lizard Pokemon
    Type: Grass
    Description:
    “Thorstle live within the dry bush in the scorching outback. To attack its opponents, it swiftly curls up into a spiny ball and rams itself into the enemy. Despite being a grass type, it strongly dislikes moisture and greatly prefers to be in dry surroundings. This fickleness and its thorny appearance gave it the reputation to be the least picked as young trainers prefer to pet their Pokemon.”

    Scormal: (Scorpion + Normal + Thermal)
    Classification: Fire Scorpion Pokemon
    Type: Fire
    Description:
    “No matter the situation, Scormal always remain humble. The only thing that evokes fear to it is the ocean, due to the fact that if the small flame on the head were to be extinguished, it will die. In the dark, Scormal will emit a watery blue light, this is helpful for exploring caves, making a popular choice as a starter. While its claws have the ability to create fire, its stinger remains useless.

    Findol: (Dolphin + Fiddle + Fin
    Classification: Dolphin Pokemon
    Type: Water
    Description:
    “Findol are very playful, trainers who decide to choose it are warned to be very committed to play with it. It is said that the small blowhole on its forehead acts like a third eye, in which the water which it emits is also said to cure anything. Findol loves to help other Pokemon and its trainer, however its clumsy behaviour causes it to create more chaos than order.”

  12. Umm….I know I’ll get death threats from the obvious, and I’ll probably get my IP banned, but I sort of wan to return though i’m divided. I promise to leave my irritating self but only if people will be willing to forgive me. Should I return or should I die away in the lands of disappointment?

  13. I’ve started Sun, about to face Hala. I’ve actually been playing a while but mostly trading. I’m afraid I have been a bit terrible and wonder traded alot early, mostly Magnemite, Meowth and Grimer with their held items (I evolved a Compound Eyes Butterfree early). I’ve got quite a few things I wanted like Moon Ball Rockruff but the GTS has been annoying.
