CREATE-THAT-POKEMON!
Welcome to CREATE-THAT-POKEMON! This is a contest that will ask you to create unique, diverse, and fun pokemon! These pokemon come from you, the members, and don't have to have pictures to go along with them. These pokemon can range from Common to Legends, from the fish in the sea to the birds in the sky! And it's all for you, the member, to create!
This contest will last for quite a while and will be open to as many entries as you want! There's no limit to the number of pokemon you can create! There's just a few rules I'd like to lay out.R U L E S
[1]You musmustmust use the format provided below. If you have extra sections you want to add, that's fine, but what's provided for you are requirements.
[2]Be realistic, a water-type isn't going to have fire type moves simply because it lives in the water and there's no use for it. It can be a fire-type secondary and use its secondary fire-type to boil the water around it, but it isn't going to be learning fire blast.
[3]Use made pokemon as your template! Bulbapedia is a great site to use when looking at pokemon! They list habitats, personalities, move lists, evolutions and when they evolve, the works! Be sure to take a look at what's already out there before creating your own!
[4]SOME new moves and abilities are allowed, but a whole moves list with new moves isn't reasonable.
[5]GOD MOD pokemon are not acceptable. This means, no all powerful pokemon that dodge everything cause it's fast, phases through walls (unless it's a ghost type), and shoots lightning from its ass (unless its a lightning type) and blasts fire from its ears (unless it's a duo lightning/fire type) and shoots lazors from its eyes (alright, I've got nothing for this one xDD). Make it realistic... make it epic... make it weak against SOMETHING damn it xDDD
[6]HAVE FUN!!!! yes, writing = fun... riiiiiiiiiight. xDD well, I assume you joined an RP site for that reason, so this should get your creative juices flowing!
[7]YOU MAY ONLY CREATE 1 LEGENDARY OR SUDO-LEGENDARY CREATURE... I REPEAT, ONLY 1 LEGENDARY OR SUDO-LEGENDARY. YOU MAY ONLY CREATE 2 RARES AND UP TO 5 UNCOMMON. YOU MAY MAKE AS MANY COMMON POKEMON AS YOU WANT!
This is to stop people from cranking out all those sweet rares left and right. They're rare for a reason... cause people don't have many of them! If we have tons of rares running around star region, well... everyone'll have a rare and they WON'T BE RARE xDDD
__________
Name;;Be clever. All pokemon names are a referance of what inspired the pokemon Beldum was named after a Dumbell.
Ponyta is a pony. Rapidash... do I have to explain?
Charizard is a mix of Charr and Lizard. Charmander is a mix of Charr and Salamander. Charmelion is Chamelion mixed with Charr.
If you need ideas, just look out your window, google animals, heck, look around your house. Inspiration for this sorta thing is everywhere.
Type;;What Elemental Type is your pokemon? Does it have 2 Types? What is its weaknesses? If you're curious, take a look at Bulbapedia and click on an elemental type. It will list what the type is resistant against, what it's weak against, what works normally on it, and what doesn't work on it at all.
Description;;Pictures are fine, however, a three to five paragraph detailed summary of what the pokemon looks like is a must. If you need suggestions, how does it move? How does it eat? What does it use to catch its pray? What does it use to defend itself against preditors? Are there any natural defensive mechanisms it uses? Is it slimy, scaley, woody, rocky, sandy, etc. Is there anything special about the way its built? Any comparisons that can be drawn to it? etc.
Egg Group;;Any egg group is available. If you need a referance, google 'Egg Group Pokemon' and look at the Bulbapedia listings of what pokemon are in each egg group. Choose the pokemon closest to yours and choose the same groups. Dual Egg groups are more rare. The Pokemon cannot be in more than 2 Egg Groups and a pokemon that can fit in all Egg Groups is taken.
Habitat;;Where does the species live? What thread(s) does it make its home in? Why there? Is there something about the environment it couldn't live without? How does it interact with other pokemon? Is the Species naturally at odds with certain pokemon? How does the Pokemon benefit others living in the region? Anything else you want to add?
At least two paragraphs explaining Habitat as well as a list of what Wild Pokemon Boards it resides in..
Diet;;What does the pokemon normally eat? How do they get this? This should closely intertwine with the region they are commonly found in.
Rarity;;Common, Uncommon, Rare, Sudo-Legendary, Legendary.
Personality;;How does the species as a whole act? There has to be specific habits, quirks, and trademark qualities that set it apart from the other species. Are they timid, have poor hygene, love to pamper itself, horde all sorts of odd objects, look for shiney objects to give to its 'soul mate'. Does it sing odd songs to attract the opposite gender, do a funky dance, or is it a reclusive pokemon that doesn't like getting involved with others? Is it aggressive, commonly avoided or is it sweet and lovable? How does it react with other pokemon and how does it act towards humans? A good 3 or more paragraphs should be enough detail about the pokemon to make it different from other species.
Ability;;What ability does the pokemon have? Only list one ability per pokemon. Mods will decide if the pokemon gains a second. The ability should blend with characteristics of the pokemon and the personality of the pokemon. Don't give Charizard Natural Cure. Don't give a Squirtle Flash Fire. Just make sense and go wild!
If you create a new ability, put a * next to it and give a detailed description of what the ability does. If it has an in battle effect and out of battle effect, please list both.
Moves;;These are never finalized and can be changed by staff before inserted into Star Region. Pokemon moves are of only one type and have one of two effects. Damage or Support. Some damage moves have a chance for a secondary effect. Support moves never damage the opponent, however increase/decrese stats or dish out status ailments.
Pokemon moves should be diverse and make sense with the species. If they are a preditor group, foresight would be a good move. If they are prey, detect would be a good move. Should they have a hard shell, harden would be effective. If they have spikes, pin needle would be a good attack. Pokemon don't have just moves of their own type and not all pokemon have the strongest moves of their type.
Star Region is a new place. You see the names of each region and you see the type of pokemon living there. Make pokemon that fit into the eco system well and make sense. Also, you may expand upon already created pokemon. Eevee Evolutions are fine, but each person is limited to creating 1 Eevee Evolution. More pokemon like Eevee with multipule branches are welcome as long as they make sense. Sun Stone, Moon Stone, Dawn Stone are all great seeing as they have celestial ties. Go wild!
Keep in mind, move sets are able to be nerfed (changed to be more balanced), so don't make them with the idea they aren't going to be changed. If you create a new attack, please put a * next to it as well as a description of what it does, what it looks like when used, and any effects it has on the user/victem. Also, please list next to the move the power of the move and the Type. move powers range from 0 to 150 (Explosion is 250, but that is a suicide move). Moves may also have ?? as power if the attack varies when used.
Evolutions;;Does this pokemon evolve? In this section, list the names of each evolutionary phase. There can be no more than 3 stages to evolution (different branches are fine within the same species, but the same pokemon can't evolve more than twice). What stages are each evolution? Remember, there's a difference between Baby Stage and Primary Stage.
Baby Stage;; Babies are weak and are open to naturally learning baby moves such as 'Charm', 'Fake Tears', 'Astonish', 'Metronome', etc. Cute moves that appeal to preditor's better nature yet are effective in fights are a must for babies.
Primary Stage;; Baby pokemon evolve to this thorugh Happiness. Primary Stage pokemon are able to take care of themselves. They can be cute, scary, tough, smart, or cool. Take physical traits into account when creating these as well as environmental factors. Weedles may have a horn, but can't learn horn drill. Wingull might be Water-type, but it doesn't learn Hydro Pump. Some pokemon don't evolve at all and are complete in their first form. This is rare, and the pokemon itself has Legendary Properties. Such as Lapris, Chatot, and Farfetch'd.
Secondary Stage;; Some pokemon evolve only once, these pokemon, such as Scyther, Mr. Mime, Jynx, Rattata, Zubat, and Snorlax are complete in their second stage. They are incomplete in their first form and their evolution finalizes the pokemon. These pokemon are stronger than their previous forms and stronger moves are available.
Final Stage;; All species of pokemon follow one rule. There are three stages the pokemon can go through, each later stage much stronger than the last. The Final Stages are known to be the most feared, apart from legendary pokemon, Final Stages put the other pokemon on the map. Sudo Legendary Pokemon stop at the Final Stage, such as Gible, Beldum, Ralts, etc. Being the finalized form, they learn the strongest attacks of their types. However, they only learn the strongest attacks of their primary type. Though Charizard is Fire/Flying, he learns the strongest attacks that are of the Fire Type.
