Suggestions Trying to get a region together.

[Dar]

Okay, so I guess from the title you can assume that I'm looking to make a region. But I need ideas, since I'm a talentless spriter I've had spriters' block for quite some time. So to start it off, I need starters. Ideas? And just to let all you people know I wont be needing help for EVERYTHING in the region. Just felt like I should say that, for reasons unknown.

The starters should most likely be based off of an animal. Charmander's a fire lizard, Squirtle is a water turtle, Totodile is a big jawed crocodile. You just need a concept. Might I suggest using animal concepts that haven't or rarely have been used?

I've tried, but I just come up blank. Although I do have a vague idea for the water starter, but I haven't quite thought it through yet.

 

[DarkAura]

Use animals that are never or rarely used. Let's say, a dolphin (Why isn't there a dolphin Pokemon???) would be a water starter choice. You'd have to make it ressemble a water type. You'd have to make it look like an actually Pokemon.

Or, a fire starter choice could be a little Pony. No, not Ponyta. A Pony with fire ressemblence and would be interesting enough to become a Pokemon. Or possibly a dinosaur fire starter, i dunno, I'm not a freaking poke-scientist.


Just think of an animal that ressembles fire, grass, or water. Then add alot (or little, first stage Pokemon don't have to have alot of concept, but their evos do) concept to it.

You need some kind of platypus. That is all.

I will make a platypus eventually, but I kinda like DarkAura's dolphin idea. Maybe it could evolve into a small whale, and then a narwhal x3 And when I was thinking about fire types, for some reason I thought of hippos. I might not use this, but it isn't hard to imagine a firebreathing hippopotamus. As for grass, maybe some kind of bird with leaves for wings? I guess we'll find out.

maybe
you
should
make the platypus
A GRASS TYPE STARTER

I cant really imagine a platypus as a grass type.

You have to be creative. unlike when GAME FREAK made Garbodor and Vanilluxe.

I honestly dont see anything wrong with those two.

I can lend some ideas. I made an entire region already.

And so I've heard. I wouldn't mind some ideas, but just dont lend me anything you've already come up with. And by the way, do you have your region posted online? I would really like to see them :3

Personally, if you make a platypus, I think it should be Water-type, with a Water/Poison final stage.

The Water/Poison thing does make sense, but is it possible to have a pokemon whose type changes based on gender? Because after I looked up platypus, it turns out only the males have venom.

Yes, but they're not very.....original.

 

[Monoking]

I can lend you the ideas for Pokemon I decided not to use when I was desigining Bohem, the region my fan fiction takes place in.

Like, a donkey Pokemon. Normal and Fighting type.

I'm sure it's feasible that Game Freak could, hypothetically, program that in- or else, the second-stage Pokemon could evolve into a pure Water-type species if it's female, or a completely different Water/Poison species if it's male. The thing is, it might be a bit weird to have an evolution "gimmick" for a starter, when they usually evolve in a straightforward level-up sequence. I don't think it would be a big deal if both the males and females had poison, really- Pokemon are never 100% accurate to one real-life animal.

I never said the platypus would be a starter. The dolphin is. So far I've got the grass and water starters made. I'll add flavour text later, and so far both are unnamed.

I still need ideas for what the fire starter is, because I learned I cant draw a hippo.

You do not know what original means. Let's say GAME FREAK decided to make a new Pokemon. This is Unoriginality;

GAME FREAK: Hey, let's make another mouse Pokemon, cause we already have a FUCKTON of them already.

Being original means to make an idea that has never or rarely been used. There hasn't been a Garbage Pokemon yet, so why not Garborder? I do think the design should be different, but it's FUCKING GARBAGE. Literally, actually garbage, so it should look gross.

Same with Vaniluxe. There hasn't been an icicle yet, so Vaniluxe is awesome. They make the design so that it's unique and original.

Your arguement is invalid.

Smooth out the edges. Dolphin should be smaller, since it's the first stage, and it shouldn't have a horn yet. The grass bird should also be neater. The shading on the dolphin is too straight. You nead to curve it so that it actually looks like a shading.

Just a couple questions and comments. 1. If I take away the horn on the dolphin, it'll just be a plain dolphin. 2. What do you mean by smooth out the edges? I have to agree that the bird could use some work, though.
