based on greek mythology Welcome to our first Pokédex project in a while! This one's based on Greek mythology and will consist of designs influenced by it. Since it's a community project, it revolves around the whole community coming together and designing the Pokemon that are to be included in it. So please, anyone and everyone is welcome into this project! I want all of A&D to be involved in this at some point. Just please post that you are interested in participating and jump right on it! And fret not, you don't necessarily need god-like art skills! You can choose to participate even by sharing your ideas regarding the Pokemon you have in your mind and one of our lovely artists will draw them for you! Things like coming up with names for these Pokemon, deciding their types and giving them movesets is also something which is a part of this Pokedex, after all. :] The project is currently being handled by Sunfished. Also, gotta thank the previous owners as well: Alexial and Jetstream9777! But first, the real stars of this project; Spoiler:
Before you submit something, please consider making types on the current type tally! Please aim for reviving the uncatolouged Pokemon or creating mammalian creatures also! Current Type Tally: Spoiler:
Here's a list of Pokémon that our artists have made as of yet: Fire Starter // #1, #2, #3 Spoiler:
Water Starter // #4, #5, #6 Spoiler:

It can be but doesn't have to. As in every other pokemon game the pokemon are not realistic for the region
|
Allright. I know my fair share of greece mythology so Ill try bounce some ideas around. (I dont draw much so Ill leave it to others.)
Few greece mythological beings that could be considered: A Manticore. Poison type pokemon perhaps? Hippokamp (not sure I spelled correctly.) A half horse half seahorse. Usualy poseidons mount. Water type? Medusa. poison/dark or something. Cerberus. Dark/fire. Hades's guard dog. Cyclops. Normal type fatty. Harpie/Harpuia/Harpy A flying/dark type perhaps. Pegasus. Flying type of course. Connected to zeus of course. Minotaur. Fighting type? Hydra. Grass or poison? Siren. A water deity. Scylla and Charybdis Twin water demons. Maybe water and other type for each? These are few I came up with. I hope they serve as some inspiration for you or others. Ill continue to post some ideas. |
I'm sorry, but we don't really allow request threads here. Check out the A&D Guidelines to know what sort of threads are and what sort are not allowed. If you're interested in gathering ideas and forming teams to work on pokedex projects like these, you can just PM/VM some people who're interested and ask for their help.
Edit: Seems like the OP wants it to be a community pokedex. Not in it just for personal gain. Reopened. |
Good ideas kriegstein I might put some in but not all as there needs to be varation but I love the bit about the Dog
|
Yeah. Those ideas were just a basis. You know just to get the conversation and development started. :D It would be great if more people from the community would find their way here, since these kind of forum projects are a great way to boost the community "feeling". You know what I mean?
|
You know what? I'm all in for a project like this. :)
If everyone wants to participate and make a dex, cool. I'd love to get in on it. |
Awesome :) I love the fact everybody wants to make this a reality. The fact that this will be made into a hack is pretty awesome to.
|
Anybody got any ideas for the fire and water starters. I was thinking a fire warrior tiger starter
|
A fire tiger would be awesome. For the second type I would love to see Thunder. (Thunder and fire breathing tiger! What can be more awesome?) Although thats for others to decide. As for the water starter...what about a water serpent?
|
Those sound like brilliant ideas :) Can we see if we can get more community awareness because i want to get everybody involved
|
Hmm. The we would need some more spokesmen (or women) for us. Id say talking with Alexial357 would help. The best thing would be if we could get Derozio himself interested. As a mod I think his presence and interest would help this. Ill try talking to people I know if they would like to get involved and get more people here. Best thing would be that as many people as are interested to join. Hmmm. I also started wondering...why 151 pokemon? Is there something you thought about the number?
|
Sounds like a good idea. 151 as that is the number in the original from Kanto and I need to replace 151 pokemon from the game to able to get the hack to work.
|
So maybe you could expand this so that also the trainers and the whole thing would be a community thing? Although that would propably push this thread to rom hacking. Well I guess we should stick with first getting people to create the pokemon and jist after that when artwork and pokedex entries etc are done. The we can think about how to proceed. Your thoughts?
EDIT: What would you...and anyone else think of the following? Peiple who participate in this could also have a trainer version of themselves. You know a little thing to add personal interest. This trainer could also be an npc in a hack if you or rather THE Community would decide to turn this into one. Your thoughts everyone. |
That sounds like a brill idea and I would be the champion :D
|
XD Haha! I can totally see that. Actualy speaking of which I was thinking about the mods being gym leaders admins being E4 etc etc. But well...it all depends on how others see things and how active this thread becomes. :'D
|
Sure thing :) My friend who is helping out and is not a member is an elite four as he will be designing fakemon. You can be the rival if u want
|
Quote:
Hades - Fire/Dark - Think the Balrog from the Lord of The Rings, The Three headed Dog Cerberus, or like a 'grim reaper' archetype. Zeus - Electric/Flying - Zeus often took the form of an eagle or bull, and was the Sky God who wielded the famous Lightning bolt. Tauros/Braviary + Zapdos? Poseidon - Water - Any kind of large fish or sea creature, really - Dolphins, especially. Could kind of conflict with Kyogre, though. |
Sounds brill :) Can you draw any designs??
|
Quote:
Poseidon should also be distinctiveas a water legendary but yet unique. A dolphin certainly would be a new idea. The hades as a grim reaper archetype is a little mixed bag for me. Yes the grim reaper represents death and is an easy to follow consept. But Im feeling a little worried about these humanoid type pokemons. I dont know. Maybe I just cant Imagine them well. :'D |
I think they should have different forms like Thundurus, Landorus and Tornadus
|
Quote:
|
Yep that it great. The starters will be a horned devil grass/ground, a rabbit fire/dark duel personality pokemon and a albatross water/flying
|
You guys have some pretty nice ideas going on here!
I'm hungry to see some concept art. Lets get this thread out of theorizing and start drawing~ So, if no one minds, I'll start sketching on the Albatross water-starter? |
Quote:
How about this as an idea for the first stage evolution? (p.dex entry description or jus basic description) Name: Aquatross, Aqualing (just an alpha stage name ill think better ones) A small albatross hatchling not yet ready to fly. It dreams of soaring the skies. |
I love all these ideas. I will come up with a drawing for the Horned Devil Pokemon
|
Quote:
|
Yes it was I have drawn the first and second but working on the third. Just drafts Those names sound interesting. I like Trossling as the first evo starter name.
|
Quote:
|
I have drawn them and will upload later :) I know 1 and 2 need differentiating from. Post ideas when I have uploaded them :)
I think we should make three Evee evolutions. Oreon the ground type. Jadeon the rock type and Metaleon the Steel type |
I see. Hmm. My favourite types...I like the idea. Hmm. I guess this project is still so far 3-4 people project. Well that only means that we have more control over the project.
Hmm...I think we should start organising things a bit. By the way how much critique can you take? I mean these kind of projects always get their share of critism. |
I can take a fair amount of criticism
|
Allright. Hmm. So should I also start making names for the other starters?
|
Yh that sounds like a good idea :)
|
Ooh I want in on this! If no one minds can I try drawing up some concept art for the fire rabbit starter?
In terms of ideas, how about a silver deer based on Artemis? (water type perhaps?) And maybe a centaur or something with a bow for Apollo (and fire type) Also something based on the Nemean lion, perhaps a golden lion that would be steel type (since its fur is impervious to mortal weapons) Ooh also perhaps a mons based on the Stymphalian Birds (steel/poison since they have bronze beak and metallic feathers, and have poisonous dung apparenty) |
Quote:
Poseidon is also the God of Earthquakes so Water/Ground would be more fitting. An octopus or squid with a trident pitch top would be pretty cool as his pet is the Kraken (depending on what archtype stories you follow) Quote:
Your smaller triple legends can be based off the Muses or Furies too. |
These all sound like great ideas and no it is not just based off ancient Greek Mythology. Some things sre normal as well. Yes you can draw the fire rabbit Starter. It will be much appreciated.
|
Awesome ideas GolurkIsDaBomb and XanderO.
Go ahead Golurk! Its always great that someone wants to draw a first concept. Just as a note to everyone: The ideas dont have to be based on Greek Mythology. Oh by the way was there a boar in greece mythology? Ephesos Boar or something? I would want that to materialize. Perhaps grass, ground etc. |
Sounds like a good idea :)
|
Okay. After reading vast articles from wikipedia (all about greek mythology) I think we have more than enough mythological beings. So after we have decided what myths to use maybe we could think about what animals to use as a base for the pokemon? Should we use animals native to greece etc?
|
It doesn't matter as the other regions do not have pokemon that are native to them so just go for whatever animals I guess. Not all have to be based on Greek mythology
|
Allright.
Some names for the rabbit starter. Everybody choose their favourites. Firny, Bunre, Rabfire, Firebit, Flamebit, Bunfire, Heatny, Bunflame, Bunflare, Flareny, Flarebbit, Flabbit, Frabbit, Burbit, Burnhare, Flarehare, Hareflame, Bunsplose Hareslode, Rafoie Ill make more later of course. |
I like Firny and Flarney but I think flarney is better
|
Just to keep you informed, I'm still working on the water starter. :)
We have a name for this guy yet? Or any reference I can use? Because I'm drawing it classic Sugimori style and with all this talk of Greek mythology, I'm not certain if unrealistic is the route you want to take here. |
Yeah We do it's gonna be called Trossling. Just draw it as an albatross. The greek mythology stuff are just ideas
|
Alexial you could draw it as a small albatross. Imagine an albatross chick/cub/baby whose only dream is to fly but cant yet. That should be quite inspiring vision. Colorpallet (if I may be so bold to suggest) would be white and blue/darkblue.
|
Yeah I agree with kriegstein
|
I would love to help, too! Maybe this can help me get rid of my artist's block...
Maybe you can do a Fire Starter based on the Sphinx. |
Quote:
|
So here's a simple sketch I did for the fire bunny starter:
http://i.imgur.com/yXEc4m6.png I kind of based it on that "looks can be deceiving" thing, where its cute but kind of evil haha. ANd then it can evolve into an evil fire/dark bunny later. :P |
Okay guys, I've got your water starter for ya.
http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff482/Alexial357/Water_fakemon_starter_zps0e91f50b.png Thoughts? Comments? |
It's looking really good! I really want to see the grass starter soon, though.
By the way, this is not Greece related, but I could try to design the bird you find early in the game. I'll probably base it on this: Spoiler:
|
Gloruk and Alexial:
Both of your sketches look great! :D Its great to have someone with such talents here. Hmm. I think I should start making Sprites for them soon. I like the fire tail in thhat bunny you draw Golurk. Also that long feather on Trosslings head is a great idea Alexial. :D Oshamaru: It doesnt have to relate to Greece at all. :D |
I will post the grass starter tomorrow or 2 nite probably :) Hope u gonna like it. The others are amazing I love them.
|
http://postimg.org/image/bp1dqefbf/d04646ec/
These are my designs for the grass starter. Give any comments and thoughts on it. Also need names for the 1st and 3rd evos |
That final form looks so badass! So awesome. Although the second form is little...bland...in my opinion. Hmm. If I can suggest things then consider this...maybe you could make it stand on 2 feet? Not maybe completely but atleast so that it doesnt look like the first form but only bigger. But other than that they seem great. Ill start making names then. :D
|
Okay I will change the second form to something a bit more exciting :) was thinking seeing as hornevine is the 2nd evos name think of something to do with spikes for the first and something to do with tomahawks for the last.
|
Very cool grass starter you got there. n_n;
So, what direction should I go in for the second stage water evolution? Just a bigger albatross? Any special characteristics you'd like to see or should I just go for it? Also, Golurk, are you going to be doing the entire evolutionary line for the fire starter? Cause I'd love to see where that sketch is going. |
Spikezard, Spinezard, Spinke, Spiketile, Spiguan, Needlezard, Tipguan, Tipzard, Tipcko, Bladezard, Bladespine, Bladecko, Bladetile, Bladeguan, Thawkraptor, Axezard, Axerex, Hawkrex, Hackzard. Those are the first ones I came up with. Tomahawk? There Isnt much foing with blades with the 3rd evolution? Maybe an Battle Axe tail would solve that? (basicly T-hawk blades in the tail-tip) or as a head horn.
Oh yeah I tried to make a sprite for Trossling today...ehh...im getting rusty at spriting. Ill maybe upload it when its "ready". (read: when im not ashamed of it) Then Ill start creating more names and pokedex entries. Quote:
(I have no idea what Im saying anymore) |
I know how about Spiktile. Just the e taken off :) and could have Tharaptor or Axezard I think
|
Sounds good. The aslong as the 3rd evolutions names sound awesome Its fine. What about Trosslings 2nd and 3rd evolutions? Any of those I posted before sound suitable?
|
http://i.imgur.com/G66hC3B.png
How's this for the second evolution of the rabbit starter? This was just a quick sketch since I don't ahve a whole lot of time before I have to go! |
It really is nice looking at new people helping with this. ^_^
I have the bird and its evolution, but should I color them? |
Quote:
And Oshamaru: You could try colouring them. Maybe if they are humming birds you could use very briight colours? :) |
Nice colours used :) The horned Lizard last evo is set but sure have a go at 2nd and 1st
|
Still working on the water evos. Should have them for you by later today / tomorrow. :3
|
Ugh, sorry, didn't have the time to color them today. I will probably have them by tomorrow, though. If I can't color them, would it be ok?
But really, all of them look great! I really like the bug. : D |
Quote:
And Sunfished: They look great. Cant wait to sprite some more. :) |
Yeah they look good. Not sure whether we should include a hydra as gen 5 has one, denio, zweilous and Hydroreign. I will make a saber thooth cat next for the prehistoric pokemon
|
Quote:
|
Maybe it could be a terra bird pokemon
|
Quote:
|
Yeah :) My champion team is gonna be ground based. Tharaptor, Terrathooth, Oreon, a ground flying type, a ground fire type and a ground ghost or dark type
|
http://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj533/Sunfished/Monsuttori%20Bukku/smaller_zpsc625944e.png
Okay, I finally finished the grass starter. I ended drawing your final one again, just because I really liked your rendition of it! :D Oh, and thanks for liking the other drawings guys. ^_____^ And, why not make the other fossil a prehistoric fish? Gamefreak didn't do enough justice with Relicanth... But anyway, what should be next? It seems like no one has done the rodent yet, so how about it being based on the elephant shrew? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_shrew |
I have some concept ideas:
Amphisbaena: A snake with heads on each side Terror Bird: A large flightless bird Quagga: Half Horse, Half Zebra Wooly Mammoth: Large Mammal with tusks Dodo: A small flightless bird |
Meant to post this last night. Totally forgot. :(
Spoiler:
Unfinished water starter evolution. I wasn't sure how far you wanted me to take the "royal / regal" theme, so I just went with it. Thoughts? |
Alexial, that is so beautiful, it makes Swanna jealous @[email protected]
Really, it does! The monocromatic blue scheme you chose brings out the pompous-ness it has. Not just that, I love what you did with the feathers! Also, that mascara it has on is gorgeous ^__^ |
Quote:
I may consider this for the third evolution, since it's pretty opulent looking. Depends on what everyone thinks. Also, if no one objects, I'd like to work on an ancient Pokemon (equivalent to Kabuto / Omanyte / etc). |
Wow they all look so good. Those designs are really good for the grass starter. Plus I think the albatross drawing should be the second evo. If you want Alex you can work on the terra bird
|
Quote:
So yeah, as of right now, I'm working on the final water starter evo and an ancient Terra-bird fakemon. Jet, can you make a check list of what everyone is doing? Because I'd hate to overlap with someone. Or if you want I can do it, but I want to make sure this stays organized and doesn't become an all out fakemon spam thread. Let's figure out what we have and what we need, k? :) |
That sounds like a good idea I will get round to that later :) The terra bird fakemon needs to be a flightless bird that is tall and have sharp teeth.
|
Damn everything looks so great! :D Also I love it how productive everyone is.
Alexial I love that 2nd evolution...its just...gorgeous (lack of better words) Also I agree that we should make some sort of checlist. Jetstream you could edit your first post and make a sort of "what is done" list and who is doing what. Of course it needs to be updated once in a while. Thoughts? EDIT: If anyone doesnt have any objections Ill take the job of secretary. (since I feel I havent made much yet) Ill gather all the work that has been done and start asking about your progress frequently etc. Any nay says? |
I will do :) the next stage is to gather the artwork together after that.
|
Quote:
|
Also can people start to color in heir artwork
|
Quote:
|
I've got photoshop, so I'm fine!
Anyway, what do you guys think of this color scheme?: http://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj533/Sunfished/Monstorybook%20Demo/hornedlizard_zps59f143d4.png Ignore the artifacts for now. I'll remove them later :P |
Quote:
I'd like to see one with an ever-so-slightly toned down version of the green (or even a darker yellow -- they contrast a bit) if it's not too much trouble. Just out of curiosity more than anything. Overall though, yeah, I think the color scheme is good for the grass starter. |
Quote:
|
I think that it looks good for the first evo but as it grows I think it should go more deserty as the leaf on it's tail turns into a blade. Since the first evo is just grass it makes sense but when it evolves it becomes a grass ground type so that needs to be shown in the artwork :)
|
Just letting you guys know that I'm still working on the final water evolution (sorry I'm so slow with this guys) and I have preliminary sketches on the Terrabird. :)
Speaking of which, does the terra fakemon have any evos? |
Quote:
And thanks for the feedback guys! I'm not REALLY that great at sugimori style and whatnot, so I'm just messing around with light shading,(which I'm not even good at...) Oh, did someone make the list of stuff to do? |
Quote:
|
Yh the terra bird should have one evo. The final grass evo should be dark brown and a few light and yellows with a grey blade
|
Quote:
|
Okay that sounds good :) I am gonna start work on some other ideas I will come up with
|
wow, this hasn't updated in a while,huh?
anyway, here comes the 2nd evo of the horned lizard. http://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj533/Sunfished/Skech%20Book/hornedlizard2_zpsb596dc3d.png I extended the tail end to make it look like a blade, and dulled out the yellow that came from the first evo so it would look a bit more "grainy". and he's a punk, with his collar popped up |
I like it :) The last evo needs to be basically brown, yellow and a few dark greens basically :)
|
Hehe, that was what I was planning to do!
Anyway, can you, since your basically the leader and all, make a list of what to do? because when I'm finished with the last evo I'm basically going to be lost on what to do... |
