    Here it is, the Jabberwocky of magic

  10. Oh my god this is going to be broken
    (Ability of the Ice/Fire legend)
    Absolute Shatter: This Pokemon’s attacks cannot be resisted, and may status any Pokemon.

    Essentially, every attack it lands will be neutral or better, and it gets moves to burn or freeze… which it can do to fire and ice types…..

  11. Fakémon Trio #2

    ‘Divine Pokémon – Skies’
    Name: ???
    Type: Flying/Electric/Ground
    Represents: The air, thunder and lighting, law
    Basis: Eagle & Zeus/Jupiter
    Sigil: Sky Sigil (Symbol is a golden α, Alpha)

    ‘Divine Pokémon – Seas’
    Name: ???
    Type: Water/Flying/Ground (May change Flying to Ice in order to represent storms to lessen the overlap with the Zeus Pokémon)
    Represents: Sea water, storms and earthquakes

    ‘Divine Pokémon – Souls’
    Name: ???
    Type: Ghost/Rock/Ground
    Represents: The afterlife, the underground, the Earth’s riches
    Basis: Cerberus & Hades/Pluto

    There’s a reason for them all being ground if anyone’s interested

    • Oops, forgot

      Second one’s Sigil is the Sea Sigil, which has a blue Beta (β)

      Third one’s Sigil is the Soul Sigil, which has a red Gamma (γ)

      Sigils are kinda like their Poké Balls, but becuase they’re Gods or God-Like, they can only be summoned through these Sigils in a weakened form for limited times.

    • Because I’m a nerd and I want to explain

      There’s not really a ‘modern God’ for the earth in Greek Mythology. Gaia is primordial, and the primordial sky and sea gods were replaced: but not Gaia. So I decided to split Earth between the three sons of Kronos.

      Zeus-Is the King of a mountain, presumably the most impressive one in the world (Mt. Olympus)

      Poseidon-Easy, he’s literally the God of earthquake

      Hades-Afterlifes are often seen as subterranean, and especially as Pluto he’s associated with precious gems and metals which furthers the ‘underground’ aspect.

  12. The regional bug!

    Silkulla
    The Larva Pokemon
    Type: Bug/Fairy
    Ability: Shield Dust/Illuminate
    Hidden Ability: Overcoat
    Height: 0’11”
    Weight: 9 lbs
    Dex Entry: Although not very active during the day, Silkulla are almost found everywhere at nighttime, especially in forests were they are in trees. Their light blue spots on their body glow brightly, which a whole clutter of them make a forest very calming and elegant. However, this is their greatest weakness, as nocturnal bird Pokemon can easily snatch them away, making Silkulla a pitifully easy target.

  16. Yo another Fakémon Trio because rule of three is bae

    I’ve done the sons of Kronos and Rhea, so time for the daughters

    ‘Divine Pokémon – Hearth’
    Type: Fire/Normal
    Represents: The home, the hearth, the family
    Basis: Hestia/Vesta & Donkey
    Sigil: Hearth Sigil (Orange Sigil)

    ‘Divine Pokémon – Heritage’

    Type: Fairy/Normal
    Represents: Marriage, childbirth, women
    Basis: Hera/Juno & Cow
    Sigil: Heritage Sigil (Purple Sigil)

    ‘Divine Pokémon – Harvest’

    Type: Grass/Normal
    Represents: The harvest, agriculture, fertility
    Basis: Demeter/Ceres & Goat
    Sigil: Harvest Sigil (Green Sigil)

    No symbols because u realised that instead I want the Greek alphabet to go in the order of childbirth for Rhea’s kids.

    They’re simpler types (???/Normal Dual types) because all three, rather than forces of nature, seem to represent aspects of normal and family life (harvesting would’ve been much more common back in ancient times, and even then Demeter still has fertility to link her to the ‘family’ idea). They’re more simple as they’re more relevant and controllable by humans: but arguably just as important

    • Cool! You actually inspired mine to be based on Myth as well I call them the wolf trio they are in the comment just below

  19. Slightly inspired and mostly bored, I’ve decided to continue making the game I started like three months ago. I still suck but hey if nothing else I’m improved my skills.

  22. Just gonna make a master thread here of all the types for my ‘Divine Pokémon’. Mostly so I can keep track ^^;

    Mascots

    Love (Aphrodite/Venus)
    Fairy/Fire/Dark
    (Fairy because of some love and beauty Imagery Charm, sweet kiss, Primarina, Sylveon, etc. Fire because of multiple love associations, such as ‘hot’ or ‘burning love’. Both are Dark as these emotions can bring out both evil, or Dark, as well as good, represented by Fairy and Fighting)

    War (Ares/Mars)
    Fighting/Steel/Dark
    (Fighting because war, Steel because of weapons. Also, blood contains iron. Dark is explained above.)

    Passion (Eros/Cupid)
    Fairy/Fighting/Dark
    (Combines parent’s types, as Love and War are the extremes of Passion. Also, can bring out the worst and best in people, hence the combination of types).

    • Celestial Archers

      Sun (Apollo)
      Fire/Electric/Psychic
      (The sun is seen as a ball of fire, and Apollo is associated with prophecy. Electric kinda has liveliness and brightness as themes. Fulfills twin theme type wise, giving a weakness and strength against each other)

      Moon (Artemis/Diana)
      Rock/Ice/Fighting
      (The moon is literally a chunk of rock, and is seen as cold. Hence, Rock/Ice. A focused and avid huntress – a fighter. Fulfills twin theme type wise, giving a weakness and strength against each other

      • Sons of Rhea

        Skies (Zeus/Jupiter)
        Flying/Electric/Ground
        (Is the God of the skies. Associated with thunder and lighting. Rules (Mount Olympus)

        Seas (Poseidon/Neptune)
        Water/Ice/Ground
        (Is the God of the Seas and storms. There’s icy Seas and icy storms. God of earthquakes)

        Souls (Hades/Pluto)
        Ghost/Rock/Ground
        (Is the God of the Underworld and its dead, as well as the treasures of the earth. Both connect to the underground.

        • Daughters of Rhea

          Heritage (Hera/Juno)
          Fairy/Poison/Normal
          (Fairy-seen as feminine, she’s literally the God of Women. Also, marriage and child birth, which often and always (respectively) include women. Poison represents how vengeful and petty she can be, tainting and marring the lives of those she hates. Normal because her aspects are part of every day life)

          Harvest (Demeter/Ceres)
          Grass/???*/Normal
          (Grass, is a duh, she represents the harvest. Normal because harvesting is normal, as is the cycle of life and death she also represents.

          *Maybe Bug – bugs experience life and death much more than humans, and harvest a bunch too. Bit ironic though, they can interfere with human life/death and harvest. Bug also just goes nicely with Grass and gives at least one Bug divine)

          Hearth (Hestia/Vesta)
          Fire/???*/Normal
          (Fire, the hearth is obvious. The home is obviously part of normal life, as is the family and domestic life.

          *Maybe Dragon??? Just goes well with Fire (Dragon flames, etc) and Dragons protect their homes (hoardes) just as Hestia protects homes and the hearth. Also gives at least one Dragon divine)
