I see so many people want certain animals or things to become Pokémon, yet they never expand on it. If you have an idea of a Pokémon, say it here. Talk about what it is, what it could be called, the typing, abilities, moveset, and location of finding them. This could lead to a good group of truly innovative Pokémon.
There have been a few fakemon contests on the forum that I have seen that would make great Pokémon. I don't have a full concept but I would love a new Fairy type Pokémon, there are so few of them and the typing has underwhelming or overpowered Pokémon, nothing that is really just ok. I have concept for a Poison Fairy type, no drawings yet, I think it would be cool to play more on the quil concept so I was thinking of a hedgehog or an animal that was quiled which mutated it and caused a new species of Pokémon.
I used to draw Fakemon all the time. Most of mine were based off of dragons, but I did have a few that were based off of other things. One of them was this ghost type called Spootily. It would evolve at around level 30 into Spookala. They're both based off of cats and Spookala is also loosely based off of spirit mediums. I never worked on their ability or location. These were made a long time ago back when Pokémon Black/White were still new. However I did just recently draw them from memory. Spoiler
For the longest time in my head, I had an idea for a fire-steel type Pokémon, because there really aren't any. Except Heatran. But he doesn't help my argument! Imagine a fire-steel Pokémon built like a cast iron furnace. With stubby legs. But they would be around the size of a toddler, and people would catch them in order to help keep their places of business toasty, when there was a huge snowstorm and there just wasn't enough warmth for everyone inside. Imagine these Pokémon with black metal, with the heat of fire escaping from the gaps in between. They got these ballpoint eyes at the heart of the fire. Also, and this detail is very important, they clank when they waddle around. They're pretty chill as wild Pokémon. They hang around abandoned factories or forges for their scrap parts, and won't attack unless provoked. Maybe they were man-made Pokémon like Golett or Voltorb.
I was pulling weeds up today, I had thought of a perfect new Pokémon. A weed Pokémon (not 420 version). It would be a Grass/Ground type. It could be found if forest, and pretend to be grass you could walk into. This Pokémon could have the Drought and Area Trap abilities with Poison Heal as the Hidden Ability. A base and single evolution would be great for this, as this is common for Pokémon of these types. Names could be Floring (Floral, Foreign, Seedling) and Refgreed (Refugee, Greed, Weed)
My brother and I came up with this idea a while ago and found it amazing. We though that another "eevee" would be a great idea. It wouldn't have the same ones eevee has now but rather, it'll have all the other types(rock, flying, steel, dragon, etc.). Right now it's roughly 50/50, so it could work as good counterpart. And it could be a cat because eevee is supposed to be a dog, I think. And one evolution could look dog-like because espeon looks like a cat, so there's parallel kind of shtuff. Some could say it decreases eevee's specialness, but as long as neither of them have the same type options (except for normal as the first evolution) then I'd say it works fine. Then people will have to chose sides, forcing the entire world to be split in a never ending civil war based solely on which one is better and the planet will be destroyed in the fury that follows! Or they could not. Just an idea though.
I agree with cadburry, I am no fakemon designer but I've seen many good ones particularly from zerudez on deviantart, and what I want most of all is more fairy Pokémon, because a lot of those that exist so far underwhelm both in terms of design and in their use. I want something truly appealing in design but on a level that can safely take on a dragonite or similar XD Fabulous and powerful, not too round or abstract.
I want an electric/fire Pokémon. Preferable, would be a fox-like Pokémon that is surrounded with orbs of lightning or fire. Like the Kitsune-bi from the legends. Too bad it will never happen no?
I really want to see a fossil Pokémon based on the extinct wooly rhino. I've always wanted that, those things are just begging to have a Pokémon based on 'em. Either pure Rock type or Rock/Normal, and definitely the Fur Coat ability. Also, we haven't had a proper humming bird Pokémon yet have we? Could use one of those.
