Gelatino's fakemon

You want a birthday present?

Go to my fakemon thread and describe to me whatever fakemon you want.  I don't care what it is.  I'll draw whatever you ask me to, no questions asked.  I'll make base stats, movepools, pokedex entries, everything I make for a normal fakemon, including concept art and sprites.  I don't care if it's a joke pokemon or if it's a srs suggestion.  I'll make anything.

You have until midnight.

okay so for my birthday fakemon

i just

a platypus pokémon

nothing else about it matters for me, so long as its based on a platypus

youre completely free to make the rest up any way you want at all i just wanna see a platypus really

Why aren't there any platypus pokemon? You'd think it'd be a suitably bizarre enough real life animal to reference

Psyduck is sort of a platypus.
Sort of.

Yeah but no beaver tail, Psyduck's more of a duck, really. No poison moves either, except one and that's by TM. If it is a platypus though, I'm sure an even more platypus-like pokemon has room in this adventure!

I'm thinking pure poison for the platypus pokemon

Sound good?

Yeah, the only thing I can think of is Poison/Normal or Poison/Water since Platypi eat underwater

But it has fingered hands and not wings. It may be named after a bird, and it may not be exactly a platypus, but it's closer to a platypus than to a bird.
But yeah, I guess it's unplatypus-y enough to justify making a platypus in this thing. I'm thinking maybe either a nidoran-style different-genders-are-considered-different-Pokèmon thing with only the males as poison-type, or make it male-only and poison-type. Since with real platypuses only the males are poisonous. I guess the type could be Poison/Water for the males and Normal/Water for the females that may or may not exist?

EDIT: Wow I got really ninja'd there. Hm.

For the sake of simplicity, I'll probably just make both genders poison, and maybe mention that the males have stronger poison than the females.

I'm currently working on art for Catric and Ampedo, the water/electrics I mentioned earlier. Here's some art from a while ago, while I'm making it:



The above design for Ampedo is pretty accurate, but Catric is gonna receive a massive overhaul.

Ampedo looks pretty great!  

Yeah ampedo is one of my favorite designs i've made. If I end up making a rom with all my pokemon, i'm definitely gonna use it on a team.
