QFTShadow Arceus said:Awesome starters. This is the first time since RSE that I've actually liked all three starter designs. I especially like the Kameeleaf line. Game freak needs to hire you so we don't ever have a repeat of the starters from DPP and BW.
Keleflage (Kelelesa, an Indonesian term for Chameleon + Camouflage)
Camouflage Pokémon
GRASS
"Keleflage are able to move with astounding speed and maneuverability, using their prehensile tails to launch themselves across the forest with ease. However, they're normally slothful and stay put for hours on end. Forest tribes believe they do so to keep their ever-growing minds focused so they can predict the future."
Pyrox (Pyro + Ox)
Fire Ox Pokémon
FIRE / DARK
"With tempers as hot as their flames, Pyrox are feared by people and Pokémon alike. They travel in large herds and terrorize the lands they visit, setting fire to forests and villages and trampelling anything that gets in their path."
Torrusk (Torrent + Tusk)
Fanged Deer Pokémon
WATER
"Torrusk normally live alone and hone their fang-based attacks all day long in the harsh cold of the north. If two should ever meet, they'll begin fighting using their fangs in an attempt to prove which is stronger."

Keleflage: Original name was Chambranch, but I thought Keleflage sounded cooler. With this next step in Kameeleaf's evolution, I wanted to hint at what kind of powers the final stage will be able to pull off. I'm sure it's obvious going by the description. And just so no one asks, Keleflage is just pure Grass-Type at this stage because its "powers" aren't really at a level in which they're usable in battle.
Pyrox: Original name was Pyroxen, but I dropped the -en because the name didn't really roll off the tongue. Sure, Pyrox is a little simplistic, but I still like it. Anyway, with Pyrox I wanted to show where the Calfire line is going - not another Fire/Fighting, but instead Fire/Dark. They're very mean Pokémon when they evolve, and its final evolution will really expand on that.
Torrusk: Not too much to say about this guy. It's a relatively simple step up from Fawng, but that's intentional. Overall the line evolves with reasonable differences (similar to, say, the Mudkip line) instead of huge design changes (like the Oshawott line). The changes are still enough to make them look acceptable as evolutions, though. :3
Arkimaleon (Archmage / Archimage + Chameleon)
Shaman Pokémon
GRASS / PSYCHIC
"Forest tribes worship it for its amazing psychic abilities, which it can use to see the future. When it disappears using its camouflage, many believe it actually vanishes into a different realm. It shakes the beads on its legs and tail to put itself in a magical trance and enhance its psychic powers."

Arkimaleon: Based on the horned chameleon. I wanted the Kameeleaf line to be something other than just Grass-Type chameleons, so I decided to take a different route in the end. The shaman / witch doctor idea was the most interesting idea I could think up, so I went with that. The head is supposed to look like a witch doctor’s headdress. The shaking idea just came from the fact that whenever I think of a tribal shaman casting spells, I think of him shaking a magical staff with leaves, beads, and skulls on the top.
Minotorch: Thanks to MrCoal for the idea of the Calfire line ending with a minotaur. When I first thought up the evolutions I had it evolving into a big Ox, but it felt very dull compared to a minotaur. Because of the minotaur’s mythology it allowed me to expand on the Dark aspect a lot better. The fire on its head starts at the top and travels down its back a bit, like a mane. They wait deep within their labyrinth and can sense anything that happens inside, so when travelers get led inside by the torches Minotorch set, they can immediately extinguish them from anywhere inside the labyrinth and begin hunting down the travelers.
Sabretain: I shaped the fur on its chest to look a little like a scarf blowing in the wind to make the Ice aspect a little more believable. I didn’t make the antlers anything astounding, since water deer aren’t supposed to have antlers in the first place and its main forms of attack are meant to be its fangs. Sabretain are supposed to be mysterious and very rare Pokémon, so the overall design is very “flowing” to give it an elegant appearance.
DNA said:ahahahahahahahahaha they all start with Megahorn
I assume you have Dex entries written for all of these already, but would you mind if I wrote DNA-Dex style entries for your Fakemon? (DNA-Dex is right now a script I have on the chat that brings up Pokedex entries with a few keystrokes.) They look really cool and I think it'd be nice if they got entries.
pokemon99 said:Just a quick suggestion I thought of. What if you had a list of all your avatars, and whenever someone posts saying that they're using it, you put their name next to the avatar. Then, all people need to do it post if they switch / remove the avatar, and you can keep track of who's using the avatars under this new system.
If you wanted, I'd go through and do the list and stuff.
