New Region + Fakemon RP
This is an idea I had in my head for years. I wanted to work it into a ROM, but never had the time or ability to, so I decided maybe it would make for a good RP. So, the idea is essentially this:
The RP will take place in an all new region with all new Pokemon – or, in this case, Fakemon. I don’t think there will be any already existing Pokemon, or if there are, there will be only a few different kinds from each other region. I think I’d want the focus to be on the Fakemon. Speaking of Fakemon, there will around 210 different types to find in this region, ranging from all available known types. This region used to be known for all its gym matches, contests, and other amazing opportunities for trainers, but recently, many Pokemon have become aggressive and territorial for unknown reasons. Humans, Pokemon, everyone started to harm each other like the entire region was slowly becoming infected with a massive wave of aggressive paranoia and hysteria. No one can figure out the cause of this dangerous mind altering behavior, so, quickly the region started to lock down. First, flights, boats – any way for people to leave or enter the region were sealed off. Gyms and contest halls were closed, while towns and cities were quickly turned into districts, or zones. People from other towns were not able to enter other towns without specific permits. The gym leaders of the region were given new titles – they became Lead Protectors of their towns and cities. They also work as heads of security for their towns, and if anyone who isn’t part of the Security Black Force wants to leave town they have to be interviewed and given permission by the gym leaders to do so. Now, where does this leave potential RPers in? Amongst the population, some people get sicker quicker than others, however, there is a small percentage of the population that doesn’t seem to be affected by at all. Thus, the roles of the potential RPers. These select people have gone through rigorous training, mental, and physical tests to understand why they are special. None of the tests were conclusive, but the region is losing time. More and more people are becoming dangerous, as well as Pokemon. The leaders of the region, the gym leaders, and other such powerful individuals believe it must fall on these select individuals to investigate why the hysteria and mind-altering behavior is happening. And now they find that it isn’t just affecting the humans and Pokemon, but the land as well. Now, I don’t think this RP would be ready for at least a few months, so I thought I’d check for Interest before I get into the beef of it. So, I wanted to ask a few questions for you all: 1. Would you rather see a Fakemon-exclusive Dex, or a mainly Fakemon Dex with some real Pokemon entrees? 2. Speaking of Fakemon, would you prefer to have the entire Dex revealed before the RP begins (meaning that this would add a few more months onto my plate before I can even submit this for approval), or would you like the Fakemon to be revealed as new areas are revealed within the game? I think that’s all the questions I have for now, but I’d love to hear your questions. If I can, I’ll also answer them. I would like to see if there is genuine interest in this and hopefully work out a bunch of kinks through this Interest Check. Thanks so much! |
I haven't gotten any replies yet, so here are two examples of Fakemon from the Dex.
#007 Drister - http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/water.gif http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/royalmonz/007_small_zps0yh4jzpk.png Drister is the Water-type starter that new trainers can choose in the region. Drister has the ability to shoot powerful torrents of water from its mouth, which twist and form into small twisters. Drister also has the ability to control minor changes in the weather. #099 Nimby - http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/fighting.gif http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/fairy.gif http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/royalmonz/099_small_zpsjl1s2bvo.png Found in the higher atmosphere and cloudier parts of mountainous areas, Nimby are fast and agile - much like an arrow being released from a quiver. Nimby also are only known to eat gems found in their mountainous habitats. There, two of the Fakemon! |
Ahh I'd be interested!
1. I'd be interested in all Fakemon dex. 2. I'd like for them to be revealed as the story goes on, rather than be revealed all in the beginning. |
I'm game for a Fakemon journey/adventure!
|
Great to see some people interested! Since I feel this would be important, here are the other starters, including the already shown Drister.
#001 Alliam - http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/grass.gif http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/royalmonz/001_small_zpsmkg3saw3.png The Grass Lizard Pokemon Alliam are small and young swamp dwellers; in addition to being able to control the vegetation of their habitat around them to make dens, they can see clearly underneath muddy water and can easily propel themselves through reeds and lillies using their grass-like tail fin. #004 Phenick - http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/fire.gif http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/royalmonz/004_small_zpsehjjw2hd.png The Ash Pokemon Phenick are young and hardy Pokemon that love to bathe and cover themselves with the fresh ashes of fires and camp sights. They are stubborn and fiery when it comes to listening their trainers, and often enter battles even when they think they'll lose. #007 Drister - http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/water.gif http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/royalmonz/007_small_zps0yh4jzpk.png The Twister Pokemon Drister has the ability to shoot powerful torrents of water from its mouth, which form into small twisters. Drister also has the ability to control minor changes in the weather. |
Damn...you really seem to have a good grasp on things, so I won't bother patronising you by explaining how much would need to be put into this to make it work seamlessly. I do however, need to ask how much you already have established of the world and dex and important characters already since the RPers need extra details about the Pokemon they'll be working with and the world around them (Assuming that's gonna be in the OOC thread, but worth an ask anyway.)
As for your own two questions. I think a fakemon exclusive dex will be awesome, but mixing the right established mons in where they make sense would be cool too. If you have a good idea where everything should be found and where it fits, then go with exclusive fakemons. If you feel there are established mons that fit in certain places, there are no issues with mixing the two. I think it could be a very effective plot device depending on what you do with it. As for the second one, either would work, but I think revealing them route by route would be very cool and exciting, and would keep your RPers waiting to see whats next. I'd even say you should include mini events where people can get exclusive mons that arent available on the route adds an extra element of mystery that should keep your RPers hype and excited. Two more things. I'm sure you've already thought about this, but sprites for each mon are definitely a must. I'd say in a similar/better format to the one you've put them in that post should be done (I get that that's a lot to ask, and probably a lot of work, but I do see it as something that's needed if you're going to present people with Fakemon.) I'd say this has a lot of potential to be a great RP. If the workload gets too much, dont hesitate to get some extra hands in on it. I'll be sure to keep my eye out for this RP. EDIT: You may wanna provide more than three options for Starters aswell |
Quote:
As for how much I've already established - I've already got the main questline figured out, the roles of gym leaders, towns/cities, and a majority of routes planned. So that's maybe about 30-40% figured out. I'm still working out events and battles, and mixing in some of my legendary ideas into the actual plotline. I don't plan to really submit this until I'm at least 80-100% finished with everything, so I have a good grasp of giving just the right amount of information to start, and then opening up to more and more as things continue. Quote:
As for event Fakemon, yeah, that's the plan! I already have two specific Fakemon events at different points in the game to try and get an event-only Fakemon (ex. Nimby, revealed above, is one such event-only Pokemon I'm talking about). Quote:
For the starters, I think I wanted to allow up to nine players, but only allow those three starters (with each starter repeated up to 3x). The reason for that is that all other Fakemon in the game will be available to capture. Starters would be unique, and I didn't want to give people a starter that can be found through the game. (Plus, the final evolutions of all three starters are pretty awesome, I think.) Of course, if others think differently, then I'll definitely consider some other unique Fakemon in the Dex to allow as starters. |

One thing I will say, is resizing them is probably a must. Spoiler tags are more of a personal pet heeve tbh. I just think they should mainly be used to extra information, instead of important things. If its the only way, they should be fine. As long as you can present the pokemon, along with their information then whatever works works. I would say something resembling a Pokedex type system that has pokemon info revealed in the OOC as they appear IC would be cool. You could even do something with CSS to have them all appear in one clean post with a link. >_> IDK how much work that would take though. Just a suggestion. Quote:
1 - Choose six mons that you think could make viable starter trios and use them as starters, effectively removing them as options to be caught on routes (Pro: Everyone gets an original mon that no one else can get) (Con: Thins out the Pokedex a little, and depending on the type variety could leave options for specific types quite restricted) 2 - Use established mons as the other 6 starters (Pros: Leaves the pokedex untouched, and means the types remain balanced at the start) (Cons: Means only three people get to start with Fakemon) There are a few others, but I think those two are the most viable. If you can think of anything to resolve the starter situation (Including sticking with what you already decided on) then you can of course do those too. |

Okay! So here, these will be the nine Fakemon available to be as starters, including the three ones above I've already mentioned.
#001 Alliam - http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/grass.gif http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/royalmonz/001_small_zpsmkg3saw3.png The Grass Lizard Pokemon Alliam are small and young swamp dwellers; in addition to being able to control the vegetation of their habitat around them to make dens, they can see clearly underneath muddy water and can easily propel themselves through reeds and lillies using their grass-like tail fin. #004 Phenick - http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/fire.gif http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/royalmonz/004_small_zpsehjjw2hd.png The Ash Pokemon Phenick are young and hardy Pokemon that love to bathe and cover themselves with the fresh ashes of fires and camp sights. They are stubborn and fiery when it comes to listening their trainers, and often enter battles even when they think they'll lose. #007 Drister - http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/water.gif http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/royalmonz/007_small_zps0yh4jzpk.png The Twister Pokemon Drister has the ability to shoot powerful torrents of water from its mouth, which form into small twisters. Drister also has the ability to control minor changes in the weather. #117 Sprian - http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/fairy.gif http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/royalmonz/117_small_zpsdj7jxzxo.png The Toothy Pokemon Probably amongst the hardest Pokemon of the region to train, Sprian are normally only given to highly skilled trainers who can take time to deal with this rambunctious and mischievous Pokemon. Highly territorial, it can influence another Pokemon's or human's minds and twist reality to its will, but only for a short period of time. #120 Venutile - http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/poison.gif http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/royalmonz/120_small_zps7f8wur60.png The Spore Pokemon Venutile is a highly toxic Pokemon. Found in marshes and thick rain forests, Venutile can spend days keeping its mouth open and keep very still. If its prey of choice brushes against its tongue, it snaps its jaw shut. Venutile has one of the most powerful jaws of all known Pokemon in the region. #123 Laimole - http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/psychic.gif http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/royalmonz/123_small_zpsyl3cxd3n.png The Molding Pokemon Often confused with Munna, Laimole is actually a completely silent Pokemon who can communicate telepathically with its trainer through emotions and colors. The purplish aura around it acts as a partial barrier to protect its stubby legs. #181 Marshock - http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/electric.gif http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/royalmonz/181_small_zpsgx61ifuk.png The Voltage Pokemon Found in the hottest areas of the region, Marshock are often found running the lengths of power lines. Using their powerful legs, they can run at fast speeds and even severely injure other Pokemon if they kick out. #184 Corscale - http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/steel.gif http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/royalmonz/184_small_zpslxmbo8rw.png The Smoothing Pokemon Corscale are a unique Pokemon that has two tails. It has the ability to stiffen its tails, which can act as a powerful cutting instrument, or loosen its tails enough to help smooth down materials. Corscale are most times found at construction sites and are incredible friendly to any that approach. #187 Glacherd - http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/type/ice.gif http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/royalmonz/187_small_zpsshgsehxp.png The Herd Pokemon Glacherd are from high, icy climates where they live amongst others of its kind in herds. When frightened, it can stiffen its normally smooth and soft fur into sharp spikes. And the number of how many Fakemon have already been drawn: 23/211 I'm hoping to also introduce some new evolutionary methods through RP. There will be a good number of Fakemon that evolve through friendship or love, so I hope to have a Friendship and Love meter for each Fakemon in each person's team so it will be easier to see what is needed. The Dex will also contain how to evolve each Pokemon into its respective evolution, if it has one. All evolutionary stones will be able to be found in the region, or bought. Most shops in each town or city will have certain items in stock to help your Fakemon to evolve. |
Ahh I'd definitely be interested in this but it may take up too much time and I wouldn't want to divide it between this and OoT so I'd think about it based on the main post. These Fakemon look great!
|
I would definately be interested if it is after one of my current RPs are finished.
These Fakemon are topnotch. Excellent! I love the idea of actually exploring and being suprised about Pokemon/Fakemon |
Thanks for the interest, guys! As of right now, I have about twenty-five Fakemon completely designed, another eighteen waiting for color and highlights, and sketches for another one hundred ready for ink. I also got most of the main OOC post about the RP, sign-up, and what not is finished. Once I get a few more posts done, I think I'll be submitting this! Thanks again for the interest!
|
I think I'll join you, but I recommend you have a lot more Pokemon planned and designed if you are doing a totally Fakemon dex and a lot of the RP involves them.

Also, speaking of Fakemon! If anyone wants to see a specific kind of animal or supernatural creature/element in this Dex, feel free to comment and suggest! I can't promise that I'll use all the suggestions though since I already have about 120 Fakemon about fifty percent finished.
|
Oh wow is there any way you could make a red panda fakemon :O you should do a bit of research on them before you make it though, but I always imagined it being a fire/ice type.
|
Quote:
So yeah, I can see about making that based off the Red Panda. |
YAY THAT MAKES ME SUPER HAPPY WOOO
|
I wonder what you'll make as the fossils? I'm a sucker for prehistoric creatures, so if you need inspiration, just ask!

Just a heads up, Wikipedia is your friend!
Megacerops (rhino relative also referred to as Brontotherium) Gastornis (prehistoric flightless terror bird) Megaloceros (aka Irish elk) Paraceratherium (largest land mammal ever) Doedicurus (ancient armadillo) Smilodon (Saber tooth cat) Mammuthus (Mammoth) Hyaenodon (primitive carnivorous mammal) Andrewsarchus (land predator thought to be related whales, also an ungulate) Parasaurolophus (duck-billed dino with crest) Ankylosaurus (armored dinosaur with bony club on tail) Stegosaurus (walnut-sized brains and plates and spikes, oh my!) Oviraptor (beaked carnivore) Troodon (smart relative of Velociraptor) Spinosaurus (largest theropod of all, ate fish, walked on all fours, and could swim) Carnotaurus (nicknamed "meat eating bull", and has smaller arms than T-Rex) Gallimimus (Ostrich dino?) Dimetrodon (the original sailback, more related to us humans than it is to dinos) |
Thanks for the suggestions, Kaiser! I've got another Fossil Line sketched, and right now I'm trying to think about the good last one that fits in with the typing I set down.
Anyway, for people who are interested in my progress, I currently have sixty Fakemon completed, including the starters and all their evolutions. I gotta say, I'm quite pleased with how each line came out, and I can't wait to show them off! I'm sure y'all will love them. In addition to the sixty completed, I've got another sixty sketched out and awaiting color and lines. Based on my progress, it shouldn't be too long until I have over one hundred finished. Also, the information for the next two chapters have been done, and the Dex is about 50% written up. We're almost there! |
Another question for you guys; there will be an event for each Player to receive a Fossil, and another event to receive an egg. The images of the fossils and eggs were going to be shown and the Players would have the choice of picking one fossil and one egg for these events. Should I explain what Fakemon comes from the fossil or egg, or leave it to be a surprise when revived/hatched?
PS. These events are not the same and will not occur at the same time. The methods of how the events is shown to players is just similar. |
