So, voting has concluded on our Fakemon design, and we now enter Phase 2! Designing! Our Team has voted on the Piscine-Avian combo design! Let's get brainstorming! A couple of you guys have already expressed interest in a design based around the flying fish! I do like this idea, as the flying fish is a pretty neat little creature, and we can also implement elements such as kites/hydroplanes into it! A few examples of flying fish pictures just for reference: Spoiler: Flying fishies~
To stick to the theme. I think the Pokémon we are creating should have some man-made weapons attached to make it more alienly(Its a made up word. It means very alien like)
Not sure how this fits the theme? Piscine + Avian was the winning combo, not Piscine + Mechanical/Alien.
I really like the flying fishies that @OzoneFruit added in the post. Although we have to be careful in designing it as a Pokémon since it does kind of resemble the Lumineon line minus the patterns. Flying Dolphins sound awesome too.
Is The Pokémon Going To Be Ice/Water Or Our 'Design A Type' Contest Type? I Just Forget About It. Edit- I Saw What You Did On The Title Of This Thread As Well.
Okay, here's a little something I thought of! There are certain airplane designs that are built to take off/land on water called seaplanes! The smaller ones can easily be seen as having parallels to the flying fish's body shape, and I think it would be pretty cool if we could implement the design of these planes into the Pokémon. Kind of like a living water jet! Examples of said seaplanes: While, I'm assuming the base color will be blue/whitish, red and yellow could definitely be a choice for shinies! Also, I think it would be adorable if at least the first stage could have a head that resembles an aviator hat and goggles:
Perhaps a fish or dolphin-like body with wings similar to that of a seaplane attached to the top of its body? Maybe we can have it so that it swims fast enough to generate lift?
I'll try to make a drawing of the suggestions so far and see how we like it. I'm thinking sea green along with blue and white for the colors. Thoughts? Edit: I definitely didn't do it justice, but you can see the basic things and ideas :/
I'm all on board for a Flying Fish Pokémon. I'd say its pretty obvious that its going to be a Water/Flying type.
I really like this! It's definitely close to what I had in mind for a second stage. I'll draw up a first stage draft soon!
Okay, just had another idea! Planes usually fly in groups right? Kinda like a squadron? Well, I was thinking... What if this flying fish evolved by having two of the fish in your party? It could be a three branch evolution, with one form being a male pair, one female pair, and then a mixed/mated pair. Each one could have different stats and serve a different purpose in battle. I was thinking one of the potential abilities could work like Parental Bond; maybe call it something like Tag Team?
That's a really cool idea, especially considering that fish (including flying fish) travel in schools! Perhaps the males could be more offensive and the females more defensive, and the mixed more of a jack of all trades? Also playing off of that idea, what if instead of an actual evolution, having two in your party would just cause you to send both out at once (if you have three or more, the groups are determined by the order in your party). Each group would act as a single unit in battle, as far as the game is concerned. Along with different stats, the different groups could have different abilities. As for the moves, the first two move slots could be taken by the moves in the first two move slots of the first Pokémon in your party, and the second two by the second. Also, I would think the group Pokémon would be very powerful, for all variations of it, but it would be balanced by only having effectively 5 Pokémon in your party.
Drew up a sketch for the first stage of a flying fish! Thoughts? Spoiler: Not sure what to name it...
It looks really good! As for a name, perhaps Piscantes? (Just a portmanteau of the Latin words for fish and flying)
I would recommend Exocopter for the final form, from the words Helicopter and the species family name for flying fish, Exocotidae.
Ozone, how do you read my mind. Earlier today I was looking up those flying fish and then I thought of the seaplane thing. I never thought to combine the two though.
I Don't Know But I Starting To Feel Like We Will Have Some Kind Of Final Fantasy Leviathan On The Final Stage Somehow...
