Odd Question, but anywho....

[Jade the Necromancer]

I couldn't find another place to put this.

I 'm currently making up and drawing a new set of Pokemon, and I have a few questions about them.

1. Would a triangle of Grass/Psychic, Fire/Poison and Water/Dark work?

2. I'm having trouble inventing names for evo's for Pinsir (Bug/Fighting evo) and Stantler (Normal/Psychic evo). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

[feebas_factor]

Um... I suspect this belongs in another thread that already exists... but I couldn't be sure where >_<

1) No, this doesn't work. Each of the starters is supposed to have a clear advantage over another. In that triangle, each one is both good and bad against both other types. The grass is good against the water but bad because the water's dark type beat's the grass's psychic type... etc. It could work if BOTH types have an advantage against the same other starter, but for that the types need to be reversed somehow.

Fire/Poison > Grass/Dark >> Water/Psychic

OR

Fire/Dark >> Grass/Psychic >> Water/Poison

OR

Fire/Psychic > Grass/Poison > Water/Dark

Those are the only 3 that work using those types. Unless you wanna have a messed up, everything-is-both-weak-and-strong-to-everything triangle. But that's just weird. So I suggest one of the above 3.


2) Ur... fighting bug pokemon... heracross? Naw, seriously...

Well, scyther was pinsir original counterpart, and their names were both based on some kind of weapon/tool. Pinsir = Pincer, Scyther = Scythe. Scyther, when it evolved, kept the tradition in becoming Scizor = Scissor.

So if you wanna follow in that same idea as it's counterpart, first you need to know what it's weapon is gonna be. If it's still a basic pinsir, just more souped-up, then maybe use a different method to name it. But if it's pincers have been modified into something else - well, describe it and it'll be easier to name.

Stantler -> Moosler. Eh?

(canadian )

Is it a moose though?
A description would help in both cases.

 

[Jade the Necromancer]

The stantler evo is a caribou . It is brown, white, and purple in colour. I DON'T want it to be a moose, even though I'm Canadian. For the starters, I was using Grass/Psychic flower dancer things( moves like Petal Dance and Aromatherapy), the Fire/Poison were snakes(which weren't that great), and the Water/Dark's were sharks. If you could think of better types for them (try to stick with Water/Dark for the Water starter) or a better idea for the fire starter, reply with that also.

 

[feebas_factor]

Hmm... ok. But isn't there already a water-dark shark? I'm assuming yours will be pretty different in design, then.

Water/Dark > Fire/Psychic > Grass/Poison. But there are SO many grass-poisons already >_<

So how about...

Water/Dark > Fire/Psychic > Grass/Fighting

I actually think that's what they might do for the DP starters if they do end up doing a variation on the triangle.

I have no idea what a fire/psychic could possibly be, though. Grass fighting's easy, just take a cool plant and shape it like a fighter (don't do the generic root-legs, branch-arms though >_<).

Or...

Water/Dark > Fire/Ghost > Grass/Fighting.

If you can come with an idea for a fire/ghost more easily then a fire/psychic.


[In fact, any types would work for the other 2 as long as

a) The grass's second type is NOT weak to dark or water
b) The grass's second type is NOT strong against fire or fire's second type
c) The fire's second type is NOT resistant to dark or water
d) The fire's second type is NOT weak to grass or grass's second type.

Does that make sense? Basically, there shouldn't anything that gives grass an advantage over fire, fire an advantage over water, or water an advantage over grass.]


As for the names... could you describe the pinsir evo as well?

Caribou, caribou... hmm... Caribantler? No, sounds to caribbean...

Tuktutler? (looking up some obscure alternative name for caribou)

I'll get back to you.

As for the names


b) The fire's second type is NOT resistant to dark



How about...

How many pokemon have you made?
I have made 243 by now, except the legendaries of my second, unfinished generation.
I made more but i have sorted out some because they were too weird.
I have also thought of 5 GBA games: Knockout/Blastdown where you goes fom kanto to johto to hoenn to archipelago (the country of my first 150 pokemon) and then to a great bonus country called diamond town, Yin/yang where you live in monteo (the country of my second, unfinished generation). The 5th game is Black diamond, where you play as a team rocket agent. Please tell me about the pokemon you have made, they may inspire me!
P.S. that pinsir evo sounds interesting.

it has to be:

fire/dark >> to grass/psychic >> to water/fighting >> to fire/dark

 

[Jade the Necromancer]

Shooting Star, I've probably made around 200, but have cut the bad ones to around 90 or so. I'm going to make up 30 more. As for regions, I've made up 5:3 regular sized ones, an Orre-style one, and one with 17 gyms( one for each type), and around 65 towns. I drew it on a piece of bristol board.
Some Pokemon I have invented include the legendary ghosts, a grass/water sea sponge with absorbing and bubble attacks, two grasshoppers with mainly kicking attacks, a mountain goat, Ice And Grass Eevee evos, babies of Absol, Torkoal,Lickitung,Lapras,Tropius and Kangaskhan( well I really didn't invent that one), a Ghost/Rock totem pole, three Steel/Dark sword pokemon (the Beldum/Metang/Metagross of my generation), and PENGUINS!


The Pinsir evo might be changed to Bug/Steel. It has huge steel pinchers, has thick arms and legs( it's buff ) and has a steel plated shell (it's definitely Bug/Steel now).

For the starters I'm still on the fence of which starter's type I should change. Would letting the sharks have Bite and Crunch be alright if they weren't Dark? Would they still have an advantage over the Grass/Psychic Starter?

Would someone please respond (I'm starved for ideas, and I would like to at least like to know what the starters would be).

Whoo! Mayme i have made more pokemon, but i have not done a lot of facts around them, i am working on a pokedex that also shows which level they learn which attacks, and i am only at #65 by now. Amazing! Great idea with a baby evo for absol. My countries have 17 towns each. Yes, a question: i guess the grass evo of evee is evolved with leaf stone, but how is evee evolved into the ice one? I have made a pokemon of kangaskhans baby too (it is named totouch). Have you made any new moves? I have made 147. Have you made any new types? I have made three: Swamp (most mud, actually), Gun (that pokemons are often kind of war mashines) and Light (matching up with dark). Have you made anything else that i have not? I think we can inspire each other! ;385; ;385; I forgotten Light when i first wrote this. ;385;

 

[sceptilianmaster]

Pinsir ---> Steelnier???
Stantler ---> Espantler???

Just some of those weird names my brain churns out.

 

[Jade the Necromancer]

Shooting star, I have only made around a few new moves. I haven't made any new types, but that may change, considering I still have a lot of pokes to finish making.My Kangaskhan baby is Kangaskid, and the ice Eevee evo, Frosteon, evolves with a Freeze Spike, a new item. I'll list some more Pokes I've invented:
An electric rooster, Cockashock
A meteorite, Blasteroid
Rapterror and Rexaromp, Dark/Rock fossils( hopefully you can guess what they are)
Beavooth the Beaver( I am Canadian after all)
Piharp and Skyrash, 2 Fighting/Flying Pokemon
& Deceileaf and Camoustalk, and Leaf Insect and Stick insect evo

Thanks for the names, sceptilianmaster. I might actually use Espantler!

Hmm, nice idea with the raptors. i have made two fossil stages: stegosaurs and tyranosaurs. Blasteroid is a nice name! And the name Cockashock is just wonderful! Let`s keep this conversation going! ;385;

 

[Jade the Necromancer]

Interesting. A stegosaurus one would be a good Pokemon. I have also created a male version of Kangaskhan, Kublaskhan, named after Kublai Khan, Noshphin and Dolfdorsul, 2 dolphin Pokemon. My other fossils are Monopatop and Tricerossil, a Monoclonius to Triceratops.An other evo chain are Coldintor and Iciclard, Ice lizard Pokes.

 

[loopy100]

Pinsirs evo could be Secatura (Secaturs, plant cutting things). Heracross could be Goliatan (Goliath Beetle) and i cant think of a double triangle that hasnt already been said.....lol.

 

[Daaku JJ]

Yawn.

Psychic/ghost
Dark/Poison
Fighting/Steel.

Oh my god they're all ineffective to each other!

No idea about evo names, Pinsir-->Gilosaur

 

[matrix_Logic]

There is a fake evolution of Pinsir called Pinsire... Go to the Pokemon Factory or something to see it...

Hm, i always thought the kabutops stage was a kind of triceratops. But that dolphins sounds nice. You know that the khan in Kangaskhans name is from the old mongolian warrior "genghis khan". Tell me more about those lizards. ;385;

 

[Jade the Necromancer]

Yes, I know about the Kangaskhan-Genghis Khan thing. Kublai Khan was another mongolian ruler( I did my research).
The lizards are light blue. Coldnitor looks like a skink, with spikes on its tail. Iciclard has two small horns that are similar to Houndoom's, with spikes linig its back. It has a large blue orb at the end of its tail. They learn attacks like Ice Beam, Glare, Slash and Scary Face. They are the opposites (like Sableye is to Mawile) of 2 Fire lions, Kindelion and Flamane.
I have already finished the Heracross evo, Herculoss. It is Bug/Flying, and learns Horn Drill.It has a golden horn, and is a hero among Pokemon.
I have decided to call the Stantler evo Espantler and I thank you again, sceptilianmaster. Now to go find the name of tools to help in naming Pinsir evo.

 

[Swampert_guy]

I've made 152 new Pokemon. I still need to delete the bad ones and make more good ones. I made a Phanpy pre-evo and a Mankey pre-evo, and evolved and pre-evolved forms of Tropius: Mangoh-->Tropius-->Rainfrust. I have my own Stantler evolution, Cariblur, which is a Normal/Psychic type.

 

[Jade the Necromancer]

Cariblur is an awesome name for a Stantler evo (I'm guessing it stands for Caribou and blur, as in an illusion). Could I use it for mine ?

 

[Swampert_guy]

Sure. Right now I'm making sprites for all of my fakemon. So far, I only have a few finished.
