[ObeliskTD]

Edit: To the guy above me, your concept is solid. I'd just tweak the design to make it more unique. Maybe add some ice crystals on the body?

I'm seeing some nice designs in here! Here's two I've had sitting around for a few years - pictures are by a former friend who worked on them with me.

I've had these sitting around for five years (!!!) and made countless tweaks to the BST in the hopes that they'd come out balanced. I'll expand on the lore if someone asks about it - Pokedex entries are unreliable, after all.

[ObeliskTD]

Sorry about double-posting. I've just got Blender so I'm going to try and make 3D models of my two fakemon and possibly animate them.

Even though I have absolutely zero experience with this 3d stuff.

 

[StellarSeeker]

This is where Fakemon go, right?

A long, long time ago I had an idea to turn that Marowak ghost from Gen 1 into a proper fakemon.

It... wasn't very good.

Now, though, I've gotten better and made this:

Dokuraith - Dark/Ghost
The Lingering Pokemon
"Said to be born from the last wishes of a dying MAROWAK, DOKURAITH inhabits places where the dead lie. It attack intruders without mercy."
Intimidate/Parental Bond
75/103/117/70/100/100

100% custom (though I did use Cubone's skull as a reference.)

It looks simple because I wanted it to look like it was originally designed for Gen 1, and a lot of mons from Gen 1 have simplistic designs.

Bummer edit: reuploaded the pic and adjusted its size, original can be found here

Description
It´s a water/ice type pokemon with features of both a husky and a polar fox. It's the third stage of a starter pokemon. I'm not really sure what the first stage would look like, but I am sure that it would be called Flufsky.

Gracolar is a graceful and majestic pokemon, but it can be tricky and deceiving if it needs to. It's streamlined body and thick tail makes it a fast diver and swimmer, although it has some problems speeding up in the water if it doesn't accelerate on land first. It's fur keeps it warm in the cold environment it lives in.

The main problem I have with my own design is that it doesn't really strike as a water and ice type, which is partially because of my lack of drawing skills. I'm not really sure what I can add to the design to make it stand out more, so some feedback is appreciated.

movepool
Gracolar is specifically designed to not suck, so I came up with a movepool and stat distribution that lends it many options. It has a signature move called quench, which works exactly like scald, but instead of possibly burning the target, it freezes it solid. Here is a list of the most notable moves that Gracolar learns.

Main stab moves: quench, surf, hyrdro pump - blizzard, ice beam, freeze-dry, frost breath
Main coverage moves: Moonblast - aura sphere - shadow ball
Boosting moves: calm mind, agility - howl, work up - nasty plot
Main utility moves: baton pass, encore, wish - taunt - aurora veil, hail - aqua ring - trick

Gracolar can run sweeper sets with it's powerful stabs and coverage, along with a boosting move. It can also run different kinds of incredibly annoying serene grace + quench sets to make passing boosts or wishes really easy.

I feel like it looks too much like a wolf and not anything like a pokemon, it could easily pass as a deviantart wolf OC. It doesn't show much husky in it and resembles a fox more. I like your hand writing though if that is anything.

The original concept was based on a polar vox. It's just that I cannot draw very well, so he looks like a mishmash of a wolf, husky and a fox all at once while not really having distinct features of either.

Thanks about the hand writing though.

Let's break this down a little.

Hoardune, Screap, and Frosterror all share two big problems: The designs are extremely basic, moreso than any official Pokemon design. They're also pillowshaded and are just one half reflected on the other side, which is bad spriting.

Insecopter is a little more interesting, but the design is still bland and idea has no thread of logic behind it. It makes no sense, even by Pokemon standards. The animation is a nice touch, but the sprite itself is poor in quality.

I have to second Stellar's sentiment here. The designs are a little too simple...

Maybe I can give it a shot?

Actually I have never sprited before, so I wanted to start with something simple. I will probably redo them when I get better at it.

If you want, I can try sketching something for them. I should have some time tomorrow.

 

[darmico]

A concept of a regional rodent I would call porcufir

 

[Gobogon]

Quick concept for a grass/fire-type Pokémon. I haven't really decided on a name yet, but I think something along the lines of Bambroot (Bambus + Shoot/Soot/Root) would do. It's the Coal Burner Pokémon.

Abilities: Own Tempo / Unaware / (HA) Flash Fire
Stats: Good HP, decent defenses. Slighty above average Sp.Atk, below average Atk. Slow.
Some Move Options: Giga Drain, Energy Ball, Grass Knot, Ingrain, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Overheat, Sunny Day, Earth Power, Focus Energy, Morning Sun, Yawn, Amnesia

The design is based on bamboo shoots and bamboo charcoal. Bambroots have relatively short lifespans and grow into regular bamboo eventually, losing their self-awareness / ability to move. Basically, they cease being a Pokémon and become plants as they grow older. They are somewhat rare Pokémon, only found occasionally in relatively cold regions. They create bamboo charcoal from bamboo (essentially their true "adult forms") growing in their respective groves and burn it in order to keep the cold out. In ancient times, they were believed to be forest spirits, and hunters who traversed the mountain forests made sure to not disturb their groves. Bambroots work tirelessly, putting all their energy into making more coal and burning it in order to keep the grove alive/growing.

Regarding Evolutions, in respect to what I wrote above, a second stage is not really an option. A pre-evo would be possible though. The first stage could just be a small bamboo shoot with a split evolution, evolving into another bamboo-like Pokémon through regular level up or into Bambroot if it is holding charcoal when evolving.

 

[Godfather 4]

So, i wanted to drop this guy here because i failed into doing an evolution for him, but i totally feel like it deserves one. If you wanna make it its free!

Ye i had no better name ideas...
> Edit > forgot to say its pure bug type

Ill also drop a Jirachi counterpart design i did many years ago when i had Illustrator installed

Urachi

Hope yall enjoy!

 

[Zennistrad]

I came up with a Fakemon concept that I thought would be interesting a while back. I don't really know how to draw so I don't have an illustration, but I'm hoping to get it commissioned soon. Anyway, here's my Fakemon.

Dendrider - Bug/Psychic

Description: A small bug that resembles a cross between a tick and a sentient neuron. It has a translucent bluish-white body and a purple "nucleus" with pupiless matching purple eyes. Its six legs somewhat resemble the dendrites of a neuron.

Commentary: Neurachnid is meant to be a mostly defensive pokemon, with great special defense and good defense and HP, but mediocre special attack and speed and nearly useless attack. Its moveset consists almost entirely of support and status-afflicting moves designed to gradually wear down the opponent rather than attacking them head on. With its signature ability Neurotoxin, Neurachnid has the unique role in doubles of being the only pokemon capable of inflicting Toxic poison on both opponents in a single move using Poison Gas. Alternatively, Neurachnid can also use poison thread to simultaneously inflict toxic poison and lower the speed of a single pokemon. Neurachnid also posesses an excellent defensive typing in Poison/Psychic, giving it a 4x resistance to Fighting, neutral resistances to Bug and Psychic, and 2x resistances to Poison, Grass, and Fairy. It also possesses additional coverage with Thunderbolt, which complements its STAB nicely. Finally, Neurachnid is one of the few pokemon to get access to Sticky Web, capable of further supporting the team.

Unfortunately, Neurachnid is also almost completely shut down by any Taunt user that manages to outspeed it, and is easily checked by bulky steel-types. Ferrothorn in particular manages to wall nearly anything that Neurachnid can throw at it.

if you want I can draw that for you Zennistrad. but you will have to tell me if its a big giant powerful pokemon or a smaller one.

I'd love that! I've gone ahead and renamed Neuropod to "Dendrider" since I feel that's a much better name, so use that if possible.

Dendrider is about the same size as Spinarak, so very small (by Pokemon standards, at least.) Neurachnid, by contrast, is roughly the size of a large dog.

 

[darmico]

here is dendrider(sorry my lighting is so terrible) because of school I will probably have neurachnid by tomorrow unless these massive snow storms of colorado give me a snow day. By the way I love the idea of giving it electro web with galvantula/joltic

edit: made the nucleus more thick, the eyes evenly sized, added more hatching, and photo editing. also let me know if you want their to be 6 legs instead of a ticks 8, the eyes to be smaller or any other edits.

here is the rough draft of neurachnid. And are you a biologist since you know about all these neurons and such.

So I made Yipup a while back, but I haven't had much feedback on it. I've been told that Balancing Act is really OP, but my feelings are
A. It's a hidden ability, so it'll be really hard to get anyway
B. I have no idea what to replace it with.

So suggestions are very much welcome. :)
Sorry if the pictures are massive, I don't know how to resize them.

(Yijao, by the way, doesn't have a picture yet, but it's Dark-Fairy)

Hoardune, Screap, and Frosterror all share two big problems: The designs are extremely basic, moreso than any official Pokemon design. They're also pillowshaded and are just one half reflected on the other side, which is bad spriting.

Insecopter is a little more interesting, but the design is still bland and idea has no thread of logic behind it. It makes no sense, even by Pokemon standards. The animation is a nice touch, but the sprite itself is poor in quality.

I don't see the pillow shading. The shading is very basic and misshapen, but it's not pillow, I don't believe.
Personally, I really like Screap and Frosterror as base or baby forms. I think they need more detailed and intimidating evolutions, but they're no more plain than Jigglypuff or Squirtle.

I came up with a Fakemon concept that I thought would be interesting a while back. I don't really know how to draw so I don't have an illustration, but I'm hoping to get it commissioned soon. Anyway, here's my Fakemon. [...]

Pretty cool concept! I liked it, so I made my own versions of Dendrider and Neurachnid. Here's a quick colored sketch:

I think the two stages look a little too similar, but you did say that Neurachnid is a bigger version of Dendrider, so...
In-game, the models for these two Pokémon would "hang in the air", similar to Burmy/Wormadam or Dhelmise.

So suggestions are very much welcome. :)

I don't mean to be harsh, but I find the design to be pretty boring. There really isn't a need for more Pokémon that are basically "dog/wolf + something" in my opinion. It just seems lazy to draw a generic dog and then add a few details or change a few colors in order to make it fit some theme. Also, in your specific case, there's already a Pokémon with a very similar black-white design (Absol), so it doesn't seem very original.
Apart from the actual design, why is Yipup only dark type? Since Yin and Yang is supposed to represent the balance between light and dark, among other things, I think normal type would be better. The same question could be applied to its first ability - why does it only represent the "dark" side?
I don't know how powerful the hidden ability would be, but saying it's OK the way it is just because it's hard to get doesn't seem right. As long as there is competitive battling, people will always want to use the most powerful ability a Pokémon gets to maximize its potential, so if it's good, everyone is going to use it.

It's a representation of only 1 of the two, Yipup for yin and I'm guessing a future Yapup for yang.

I definitely agree that there are a lot of dog pokemon out there, but I feel like that shouldn't be a thing that stops him from doing this mon and there's a lot of room for uniqueness in terms of design and flavor as this is only a first stage pokemon so it's evolved form(s) definitely have room to depict the concept more.

Cinnabar_Pokehack I like the design but as Gobogon said it's boring. If you add a tad bit more detail I think your pup will be able to stand out more, but currently it's a dog with a black and white colour scheme. Poochyena is a simple dog pokemon but their wasn't much of a concept rather than "dark dog" whereas your concept is Yin-Yang dog and I feel like just doing a black and white color scheme is a tad lackluster. however if the evolution (which I'd love to see) has more uniqueness too it then it will definitely make up for it.

I'm not understanding the "boring design" complaint. If you look at the canonical designs, a good majority of Pokemon are very plain. Eevee, Squirtle, Magikarp, Meowth, Ekans, Psyduck, Rockruff, Litten, Fennekin, Arbok, Butterfree, and many many more pokemon have very simple and generic designs that look exactly like the animals they're based off of, and that's not taking into account pokemon like Jigglypuff, Voltorb, or Ditto that are even more simplistic. I understand it might be that Yipup looks like a normal dog with black and white coloration, but Eevee looks like a normal fox with brown coloration, and Magikarp looks like a normal catfish. Goldeen looks exactly like a fantailed goldfish, with a horn stuck to her face.
Maybe I'm missing something though.
I am currently working on Yipup's evolutions, but in the meantime I would like some help understanding the problem.

The idea behind "boring designs" is that they are moreso exactly the animal it is based off of, in terms of its silhouette.

Using the examples you provided, none of them are 100% true to what they are based on, and rely on the small differences that make up the Pokemon in order to set itself differently than their real world counterparts. Using your logic, we can assume:

1. Foxes have super skinny ears and large collar tufts. They also lack snouts and have large eyes.

2. Turtles have long tails that curl at the end.

3. Cats lack whiskers and lack joints in their arms.

4. Ducks a large round creatures with claws for hands.

5. Dogs have prominent collars filled with rocks. They also have large bulbous heads.

6. Cats also seem to have large bulbous heads, and mustaches to boot.

7. Butterflies are demonic creatures where their heads make up almost 30% of their body, and at the same time go against insect biology by having 4 appendages, a set being claws and another being feet.

Do you see what I did here? A good way to tell if a design has interesting features is to be able to describe what makes it __different__ than their real world counterparts. Pokemon are cartoony animals. It's good to exaggerate, twist, and mesh design elements on them to make them special.

Also as a side note, using gen 1 and probably gen 2 as examples is horrible. These generations had almost zero design policies, and using them to back up any fakemon argument puts you in the same boat.

While I'd like to point out Furfrou, I think I see your point? The silhouette should be changed, is what you guys are saying, right? Maybe instead of a curled fluffy tail, I reshape it like one half of the yinyang symbol?

 

[Sunfished]

yeah, that's a good start! Add something people can point out at first glance, so that it sticks with them longer.

Also you got me with furfrou xd
