No.

The ability's effect seems interesting, though, so if you find something that can have it and it makes sense, it would make for a very interesting gimmick pokemon, like kecleon, castform, etc. And it's not a new mechanic, either.
It could be both a specific ability for your pokemon and a new move room move.
You draw very well, but your designs are all over the place, you need to focus in a logical progession, not in what the pokemon should have, but what in the pokemon should be.
For this particular starting point, however, you might be better off not including animals, like they did with castform.


I know you won't understand why I said no to your idea, and it's a valid concern, so let me show you something:

The only thing I meant competitive about this is the ability. Just the fact it can play mind games on the opponent Competitive or not was more so what I was going for. I wasn't trying to make the Pokemon specifically competitive. I meant that's where I drew the idea up. As far as the ice typing, it only made sense because I thought of it as North/South Pole (to make it simple) where Narwhals and MuskOx live. It was just an idea I threw out there to see what People thought of. Honestly, when I put my idea on paper, it didn't look anything like what I wanted it to. So, the whole Narwhal+MuskOx idea is very subject to change. I wasn't planning on making a Pokemon specifially oriented for Competitive play, it was just the ability I had in mind.
Anyways, with that feed back, I'm still wondering if anyone is willing to continue to run with this idea. I'm alright with scrapping it if not.

I misunderstood then.
But still. why electric?
what do the poles (magnetic poles, at that) have to do with type matchups?
That's another reason I said it should be normal, gives it a neutral starting point and since this would be the gimmick pokemon of the generation, it would make sense for it to follow smeargle, castform, porygon.

I like your idea, I do, and I think evilpacman was interested, so you can work together, just don't start thinking how to make it competitive.

It will have to go through conversion and conversion2 first.

Also, the ability will make it so fighting it's not very effective, and since normal doesn't resist anything, there are no new weaknesses.

That's the point... this pokemon can change the mechanics to it's advantage; and if it has a counter, well, nobody's perfect.

Piggy Backing off it having Conversion, maybe it can be more of a virus or something. Now that I've looked deeper into it, I'm thinking of scrapping it being a Narwhal. It's more closely related to electricity.

The concept of a virus is not bad, actually. Retrovisuses work by altering the host's DNA, and viruses are known to mutate too, so there you have a plausible, logical link between the abilities and moves you seek and something that can use them, note the lack of electricity references.

But maybe viruses (especially retroviruses) are a bit of a dark subject, so use it as a stepping stone; look for parasites that can manipulate it's hosts and it's predators. if that doesn't pan out, go with the virus.

So I just found this


Pink Fairy Mole

Works really well for a Ground/Fairy or Normal/Fairy or even Rock/Fairy don't you think?

It could work with a twist, but as it is, it would be a flygon type situation, making it fairy just because it has fairy in its name.

Send me a PM with what you're currently working on and with whom, please.

    Professor palutena
  • Unknown bug
    Akwila

    ?

I think those are all. Keep PMing me to confirm or deny what is on that list.

Let's stop throwing ideas around and focus on what we have in our hands at the moment. We'll brainstorm ideas again when all these projects are in progress and showing results.

I dont think I will work on the inverse battle thing, I just like the idea. Also, I dont know if you saw, but I posted a Pokemon on the last page.

The mosquito, right? I hate mosquitos, but the draining focused mosquito seems like an interesting concept. Why did you chose to focus on the maternal aspect? just because biting mosquitoes are female?

I was thinking of making a bug pokemon too... taking over the water spider, since no one seems interested, or making a bug/fairy firefly, focusing on the light aspect of the fairy type.

I already edited the list too.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! - SIGN-UPS OPEN

I decided on that mainly because of the females being the biting sex. The basic would be weak and dependent on the mother who provides it with the energy it receives from other Pokemon... or humans! I just liked that idea and I've been working on the concept for some time.

I thought so. Have you considered making it female only? or like vespiquen, where the basic can be male and female but only females can evolve? The only non-cute female only pokemon are vullaby and mandibuzz, so it would add more variety.

As I said, I hate mosquitoes... but you have my blessing to go on with it.

Oh, and remember that pokemon can change during attack animations now, so there's no need to include the full belly in the design, since it could be part of the attacking animation. I'm doing something similar with my squirrel's cloak.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! - SIGN-UPS OPEN

I'll start tomorrow on the ideas I had the other day. I've got a ton of work to do before Monday morning.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! - SIGN-UPS OPEN

I imagine the belly to be a permanent feature for the females. However, I can just make this Pokemon female only. I don't think it would work with the males not evolving because the biology doesn't work like it does in the Vespiqueen line.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! - SIGN-UPS OPEN

This was an idea I had some time ago:

professorlight said:
I want a light-inspired pokemon; not so much the goodness but the physical phenomemon. Since now we have enough light-based moves that I feel that a pokemon with all of them would be justified.
Before I didn't know how the concept would be applied, but I'm thinking now that the luna moth I mentioned could be a very good candidate.
Perhaps Fairy/Bug, based on light+luna moth(+firefly, better than that stupid volbeat), naturally learning flash, dazzling gleam, tail glow, moonlight, flash cannon, mirror shot, light screen, reflect, solarbeam, sunny day, moonblast, aurora beam, psybeam, signal beam, quiver dance, silver wind and bug buzz and something else, maybe an electric move (electroweb?), but none of them so far has much to do with light.

Maybe it could be a branched evolution, a worm/cocoon evolving into either a light luna moth or a dark moth (yes, as bolt said, dark/bug) or butterfly or whatever.
Now that I thought about it, I really like this concept. A lot. If I feel like it, I might even do some designing later.

I might ask akwila to tackle this one as a team, even. And we'd have our regional bug line.

OP updated with the list so far, keep confirming through PM your pokemon so as to not clog up the thread.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Professorlight,

For some reason, I cannot PM you. Here is my reply to your last message

Dark LCD moth inspiration:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death's-head_Hawkmoth

Or similar. Honestly I kinda picture a jet black moth surrounded by black shadows or wisps of shadows billowing around it.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Maybe I'm dense, but is there a location where all the images are for the finished Fakemon? The only one I recall being finished is the Squirrel starter.

I'll put images on the OP as they come, but so far, the only one is the squirrel, since it was the only one brought for review.

I think between the mantis shrimp's eyes and the elves's increased senses, we could have a new move in our hands, some accuracy buff, or something.
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Am I the only one that thinks we should have Clauncher with a second ability like Iron Fist (though obviously not Iron Fist) and make the ability be what determines whether it evolves into a mantis or pistol shrimp? That would be one amazing evolution line :p
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! - SIGN-UPS OPEN

I don't know about that... What make the pistol shrimp and mantis shrimp such good predators is how they are able to shock their prey with sound waves. One interesting fact though, when they strike the water, it actually ignites and creates a small amount of light and very intense heat (albeit, very briefly).
 
RE: Let's Do the 7th Generation! - SIGN-UPS OPEN

Yeah, I was hoping for a Tyrogue-->Hitmonchan/Hitmonlee kind of thing. I guess because of Clauncher's stats it wouldn't work, but it was the idea that was going through my mind at the time.

The facts about pistol shrimp are why I like Clawitzer; I was actually hoping it would be Fire/Water when it was first revealed. However, I guess my original plan wouldn't work; I just thought the idea was interesting and fun to imagine.
