Ideas For New Pokemon

I like the way you invent new types, nice. In my post above, I kind of invent a type, a dream pokemon. This doesn't mean that it can only be seen in dreams, but that it specializes in hypnotic and dream attacks.

I'll put down one of mine, a pseudo-legendary-

Slagriffin

Ferocious Eagle Pokemon
Fighting/Flying type
Evolves from Traneagle at Lvl. 52, who evolves from Rawk at Lvl. 32.
Ability: Moxie or No Guard.
Egg Groups: Flying/Monster

Base Stats
HP: 95
Atk: 150
Def: 115
Sp.Atk: 65
Sp.Def: 75
Spd: 100

Total: 600

Description: Slagriffin is a very sleek and tall Pokemon, it's feathers are mostly yellows and oranges, with some reds mixed in too. Slagriffin has extremely long and sharp talons. It is based off of a hawk, and bear some resemblance to Braviary.

Pokedex entries-
Slagriffin is known for it's extremely sharp talons, which are known for being able to pierce rock. That is why some Slagriffin are used in mines.

Legend has it that if one were to see a wild Slagriffin flying off into the horizon, that person would become much more agile and tough.

Lvl.-Up moveset-
Lvl. - Superpower
Lvl. - Wild Charge
Lvl. - Gust
Lvl. - Tackle
Lvl. - Leer
Lvl. 6 Peck
Lvl. 10 Double Kick
Lvl. 16 Tailwind
Lvl. 25 Pluck
Lvl. 31 Detect
Lvl. 33 Hone Claws
Lvl. 40 Storm Throw
Lvl. 44 Dragon Claw
Lvl. 52 Brave Bird
Lvl. 55 Close Combat
Lvl. 63 Flare Blitz
Lvl. 68 Swords Dance
Lvl. 76 Head Smash
Lvl. 80 Final Gambit

Due to Slagriffin's power, Slagriffin itself cannot be found wild, but it's first form Rawk can be found by the fifth badge, though the area it can be found is very remote, and it's second form, Traneagle, can be found after the game is beaten, also in a remote area.

Another pokémon based on Yamata no Orochi.
Instead of Hydreigon(which is partly based on Orochi)'s three heads, this pokémon would have 8 heads.

It would be freaking awesome, a pokémon with 8 freaking heads.

I used to toy around with ideas for new Pokémon back when I was watching the anime, though the funny thing about that is that I was also watching Digimon on Fox Kids at the same time, and one of the ideas I got from them was having new types of pre-existing Pokémon that looked similar but were very different altogether. If you don't understand how I got that from Digimon, I'm referring to how there's both Agumon and SnowAgumon.

Agumon_b.jpg


SnowAgumon.jpg


The ideas I had for starters were Flamasaur: a red Bulbasaur with a flame on it's back similar to Cyndaquil, only it was a Fire type instead of a Grass type. For some bizarre reason though I drew it with chains as a vine whip, which makes no sense for an organic creature at all (probably took a little too much inspiration from Digimon).

The 2nd one was Icemander (based on SnowAgumon mentioned above) which was an Ice type version of Charmander. And for Squirtle I came up with Voltle for some reason, which was a yellow Electric type that I pictured would shoot out "thunder-bubbles" or something. Of course now I know that these two would never work in the games because the starter types are always Grass, Fire, and Water.

I even went so far as to try and come up with fusion Pokémon, doing one for Ho-Oh and Lugia that was a complete ripoff of Omnimon. I'm actually glad these ideas got left behind in my childhood. They're very un-original, they're not that good, and I would even say that they would not completely fit in with the whole theme of the Pokémon universe.

Istiaede (Istiophoridae <billfish> + "blade")

Xigladu (Xiphias gladius <Swordfish>)

Maikarage (Makaira nigricans <Atlantic Blue Marlin> + Maraging steel <a very tough steel>)
Click to expand...

Those names seem like they could be Japanese names. (I-su-chi-e-de, Shi-gu-ra-zu, and Ma-i-ka-ra-ge.)

*looks again* Oh, you meant Maikarage as in Maika-rage. Okay, never mind >_>

Also, about the progression from 230-350-600 as a base stat total, the first two seem a bit underpowered for a 3-stage line where the third is 600. If you wanted this guy to be a pseudo-legendary, the tradition has always been 300-420-600. I'd suggest giving Xigladu at least a total of about 390~420.
 
Let's give Luvdisc some attention! I would be nice and give it a super powerful evo. I don't know what it would be though.
 
Here is a more detailed description of my pokemon, but it is based off the anime rather then the games.
Hypnotica.
Hypnotica is a cat-like black and white pokemon that has angry red eyes and is known to be vary cute. It has the ability to genorate hypnosis by glairing into it's aponent's eyes and meowing a long trilly cute meow. Once it does this, it can do moves such as Nightmare dream eater and nightmare. It evolves into nightmayor whenever it matures. Sometimes, it can take a number of years for it to evolve into it's next form.
Pokedex description: "Hypnotica. the hypnosis pokemon. It is able to induce its aponents into a potant hypnotic trance that can last up to 14 year s if it wants to."

Nightmayor:
This is the evolve form of Hypnotica. It looks similar to a meowth, but with no charm and a cute nose much like a little kitten's. It can genorate hypnosis like its pre-evolve form, but it specializes in dream type moves. It knows the attacks of nightmare, sweet dream and nightmare dream eater. It has the most potant nightmare attack and can defeat any pokemon except for electric pokemon.

Pokedex: "Nightmayor, the dream pokemon. the evolve form of Hypnotica. It can genorate a series of agganizing and bone-chilling visions with its potant nightmare attack. It is the 4th most strongest pokemon ever known."

Sublimina, the final form. It is a pure black cat with yellow angry eyes and four sharp fangs. It is much like a black kitty but larger. Its true nature i unknown and should be handled with extreme cossion. It can genorate hypnosis and nightmares like its pre-evolved forms, but can also comunicate telapathicly, understand every language, and can control any being in its sleep. It is described as a shadow pokemon.
Pokedex: "Sublimina, the dream shadow pokemon. the evolve form of nightmayor. it is able to control one in their sleep. this pokemon must be handled with cossion. It is the 3rd most strongest pokemon ever known."

I would like feedback on these pokemon, any type of improvements, please let me know. The reason why they are cats is for a deceiving appearance. You go to look at a hypnotica, then suddenly it glairs and does its hypnosis attack, then you are caught. "Snore, snore, snor..."
Sweet dreams.
 
I was wondering if they'd continue with more Monkeys next generation with different types like Rock or Bug. I think a flying monkey would be great.

Also a steel version. I hope they do that, just so we can have a pokemon called Panpipes or something :)
 
I don't think they'll allow an antichrist pokemon, but they'll probibly have a demon pokemon.
 
I like the above ideas, especially Mangra and Drakeroot. I'd like to know, who is the first form, who is the second form and who is the 3rd? I think that pokemon just landed a spot in the finalli I am sending to PUSA. I'll beat Japan to it.
 
How about a flying and Fighting type?

Poipow from the Hawaiian bird poipoi and the word pow evolves into
Grosbreak from the bird grosbeak and the word break
 
I came up with a Water/Fire-type Pokemon:

Name: Shrimpish
Bottom-Feeder Pokemon
Evolution line: Evolves from Crustavey at Lv. 35
Type: Water/Fire
Abilities: Water Absorb or Flame Body
DW Ability: Swift Swim
Height: 4'11"
Weight: 100 lbs.
Breeding Groups: Water 1, Field
Pokedex Information: The patterns on Shirmpish's back emit a large ammount of heat. They often eat waste at the bottom of streams to increase their internal power.

Stats:
HP: 85
Attack: 70
Defense: 80
Sp. Attack: 105
Sp. Defense: 90
SpeedL 80

Shrimpish looks like a large shrimp. It has long eyes, whisker-like streams coming from its cheeks, a fuzzy mouth, 6 legs, and a long fish-like tails. Its color is clearish-blue, and it has solid-red flame patterns all over its back. It can use a wide variety of attacks, like Water Pulse, Mud-Bomb, Flamethrower, Muddy Water, Dragon Tail, and more.
 
I'd personally love to see a raver Pokemon. It would have a similar height and build to that of a human (like Gardevoir or Machoke), and it would have something that looked like noise cancelling headphones that it wears around (and is attached to) its neck that it could swing around and use as a weapon via the wires attached to the headphones. I think a neon blue and black color scheme would work well with it. It would be an Electric type and would have lots of music and sound based attacks, such as Techno Blast :3. I don't know what everyone else will think about this, but I think it sounds pretty cool.
 
How about a male and baby version of kangashan. Also make Pokemon that require Incense to reproduce baby forms to be completely unable to reproduce at all unless they are holding an incense. Also how about more perhistoric pokemon. Example would include a Spinosaurus pokemon, a mosasaur, a Dimentodon (completely separate from the Spinosaur), a sabre tooth cat, Stegosaur, hardosaur
 
A baby bovine Pokemon that evolves into either Miltank or Tauros depending on its sex.

A pre-evo to Kangaskhan. Its design would basically be the baby in Kangaskhan's pouch. Because I do not want to always be baffled as to how that baby gets there when a new Kangaskhan hatches in-game.

Also, as for [HASHTAG]#666[/HASHTAG] in the Pokedex... the first 9 after [HASHTAG]#649[/HASHTAG] (Genosect) are going to be the new starters, while after that is probably the Rattata stand-in. After that, we have the Pidgey/Caterpie stand-ins that we see every game...

Maybe not anything overtly demonic, but a menacing-looking crow (Dark/Flying) a la Murkrow/Honchkrow would do? Or a Bug/Dark Pokemon based on the life cycle of a mealworm-it starts out as a cute worm, then becomes a pupa, then becomes A BIG HONKIN' HORNED BEETLE.

I thought about that a while ago. You know how Kangaskhan is named after Genghis Khan? Well, how about the male's called Kangaceas, and the baby simply Kangaskid? Kangaceas is based off Caesar.
