  2. So this is my last mon I’m sharing for the day, and @BigGuyI:disqus I think you will like this one:

    (They are both based on the concepts of a horned frog and sumo wrestling)

    Sumog
    The Horned Wrestler Pokemon
    Type: Ground
    Ability: Rough Skin/Sturdy
    Hidden Ability: No Guard
    Height: 2′ 09″
    Weight: 67 lbs
    Dex Entry: This Pokemon often competes with others of its kind to see who is the best in wrestling. Their tough horned skin its very hard, and constantly gets hardened because they rest in thick mud.

    Sumoad
    The Horned Wrestler Pokemon
    Type: Ground/Fighting
    Ability: Rough Skin/Iron Fist
    Hidden Ability: No Guard
    Height: 7′ 08″
    Weight: 2067 lbs
    Dex Entry: These Pokemon are feared by both humans and Pokemon because of their immense, yet deadly power that resides in them. Their arms are coated in hardened mud, which makes their arms heavy and making their punches hit like a nuke. Sumoad are so powerful that a full-powered punch can shatter an entire mountain, no matter the height of the mountain. People can tell when two Sumoad are fighting because of temors caused by their combat with one another.

      • Pokedex Entry: 143
        Skippinter
        Classification: Frigid Captain Pokemon
        Height: 6’03
        Weight: 164.3 Lbs
        Typing: Ice/Water
        Ability: Captain’s Command
        Stats:
        HP: 100
        Attack: 120
        Defense: 90
        Special Attack: 75
        Special Defense: 100
        Speed: 80
        Base Stat Total: 565
        Pokedex Entry: This Pokemon tends to command a small crew other Pokemon on a quest that seemingly ends up going nowhere alongside a Puffot that tends to act like its sidekick. It is said to travel in search of sweet foods (no this is not a reference to what you’re thinking) as it views them as a valuable treasure. It is said to command a ship made out of an iceberg, but it is rarely even seen.

        (It’s a snowman pirate with a candy cane hook)

  6. I FOUND IT I FINALLY FOUND IT
    In case none of you care
    I was telling Seraph and Golden bits and pieces of my very first game I wrote
    But that just busted wide open a flood of memories and half a billion pieces of doodles and notes
    I told him of this horrible mega mutations of one of the characters and I yearned to find it
    After digging through literally thirty pounds of old papers and folders I FOUND IT
    FEAST YOUR EYES ON
    THE DRUID CHIMERA

  7. So there’s something I don’t get in Sun and Moon:
    So Lillie says she’s off to go to Kanto to find Bill so she can cure Lusamine, and is able to go.
    Hau states he’s off to go to Kanto to find his dad, and he’s able to go.
    And us, the playable character, who saved the Alola Region, stopped the Ultra Beasts, stopped Lusamine, cleared all the trials, and became the champion, cannot go to Kanto.

    • Oh those thingies?
      One is a Fire/Ice type
      The other is Rock/Flying
      The third in the trio is Electric/Fighting… but I haven’t gotten enough time to make designs yet..

      • I suggest making both available as a choice, like you choose which one you get somehow (One you get at after 7th gym and the next you get at post game) otherwise you would have to make 2 games, having to recode text which honestly isn’t fun (Rom hacking experience)

        Reply

        • The only thing is this…. the versions serve a HUGE role in the plot, like nearly entirely different stories
          But both legends are available in game

          Reply

          • So you will be making 2 games from scratch so no recoding. Okay that sounds way better than a normal Pokemon game version duo thjng

          • I honestly dunno if I’ll even make it….
            All I’m going to say is this
            It might sound corny, but reality and imagination along with the limits of them are what this game is about

  14. I once made a fakemon grass starter I called it Racboom it was the explosive Racoon Pokémon it’s final was gonna be Grass/Electric i was dumb lol

  15. Pokedex Entry: 37
    Wompire

    Height: 7’08
    Weight: 84.8 Lbs
    Typing: Dark/Flying
    Ability: Night Vision/Blood Guzzler (Hidden Ability: Insomnia)
    Stats:
    HP: 85
    Attack: 120
    Defense: 80
    Special Attack: 70
    Special Defense: 80
    Speed: 110
    Base Stat Total: 565
    Pokedex Entry: Entering a cave with the possession of fruit is normally discouraged as these pokemon tend to fly toward this scent. If this Pokemon locates anything besides its own species, it will envelop them in its cape like wings, stinging them to hold them still as it sucks their body clean of blood in a matter of seconds. They occasionally venture out of caves in search of prey, such as livestock. Their speed and power makes them deadly pests that are hard to remove.

    Blood Guzzler: The Pokemon restores its own health upon using a contact move on its opponent. This effect decreases the lower its opponent’s health is. (Heals for full damage against a max health opponent and 10% at 1% health)

    Night Vision: The user has perfect accuracy in the “Heavy Darkness” field effect.

    Hey guys! This is the early game bat’s final evolution! And yes, it is a wombat bat hybrid that becomes a vampire

  17. Pokedex# 10
    Fleetflight

    Typing: Flying/Normal
    Ability: Sand Rush/Speed Boost

    HP: 40
    Attack: 70
    Defense: 50
    Special Attack: 30
    Special Defense: 30
    Speed: 60
    Base Stat Total: 280
    Pokedex Entry: Particularly vulnerable, Fleetflight rarely stay in one place. Despite being able to fly, they are known for digging almost everywhere, despite any hassle it causes itself. They are very cautious around other species of Pokemon. Contrary to the usual situation for other bird pokemon, they are frequently preyed on by Larvoll due to their icy silk.

    Pokedex# 11
    Desdash (Desert-dash)

    Attack: 90
    Defense: 70
    Special Attack: 40
    Special Defense: 45
    Speed: 80
    Base Stat Total: 380
    Pokedex Entry: Desdash are much more developed than Fleetflight and tend to focus on speed and fighting. They have a primary focus on evolution so that they may run much further than they can at this stage. Their brains, unlike their bodies, are not so quick as they tend to be relatively dull and oblivious to obvious danger. This of course causes a huge hassle for anyone driving a vehicle.
    Evolves at: Level 33

    Roughrunner (Rough-Roadrunner)
    Classification: Roadrunner Pokemon

    Base stat Total: 490
    Pokedex Entries: Despite mainly living in deserts, Roughrunner are capable of running on all terrain for long periods of time. This makes them a popular Pokemon for transport, especially among pokemon rangers. If a Roughrunner is humiliated in any way, shape, or form, it will do everything possible, no matter the danger, to earn its pride back.

    Speed: 100
    Base Stat Total: 490
    Pokedex Entry: Although a majority of Sendog end up at this stage, only one of them leads the pack. The leader is easy to spot, as they tend to glow with psychic energy. They lead hunts for prey and keep the entire colony in order. They are said to communicate with a variety of waves almost as complex as human speech. If the leader were to perish without another suitable Prariepath to take its place, the colony would fall into chaos.

  19. Before I sleep, one final surprise ;3

    Pokedex# 15
    Mega Prariepath
    Typing: Normal/Psychic
    Ability: Omipotent
    Stats:
    HP: 70

    Pokedex Entry: The third eye that appears on its forehead upon mega evolving is said to be the gateway to its powers. It tends to glow a marvelous blue color when it attacks and stays a vibrant green when at standstill.

  20. Vikavolt causes havoc in the right hands despite being a regional bug

    Pokedex# 16
    Larvolly
    Typing: Bug
    Ability: Fur Coat/Slush Rush
    Stats:
    HP: 30
    Attack: 20
    Defense: 30
    Special Attack: 50
    Special Defense: 35
    Speed: 40
    Pokedex Entry: A larval stage bug pokemon that is known for its thick fuzzy wool which keeps it warm and prevents even strong forces from hurting it. They usually live in snowy climates but can live pretty much anywhere if it does not have extreme heat. Strangely enough, they can prey on small bird pokemon due to their frigid silk. People with entomophobia are usually put into a room with one for therapy. The cute appearance of this bug wins them over in the end.

    So what if we had another scary one? This thing may seem adorable now, but just wait till it evolves.

          • I work at BJs which is a wholesale club
            My job is Head of Recovery, where I fix up the store by bringing products back to their shelves after those son of bitch turds I call customers mess up with their empty headedness
            And then I have to do reshop where I am greeted with 3-6 giant ass carts of crap from all over the place and I’m tasked to sort and organize then to be put back (Since those lamebrained night guys are too stupid or lazy to organize it properly)
            But that’s somewhat fine since I got to be head because I’m a genius when it comes to organizing those in large masses
            I now have two flunkies

          • I’m also very good at organizing so handling the paper work, money and making sure the product goes where it should is no problem for me. Just wish a few of the other workers were more reliable.
