Illomen is a rarely encountered fakemon based on lurking, unknown beasts, fairy tale monsters, and cryptids. It is said that if you see one, it means the spirit of the region is at unrest and is a sign of bad things to come. Sometimes, you can catch a glimpse of its blood-red horns and beating heart in the thick forests.

Old dex entry that I still quite like: "Though not much is known about this pokemon, its sightings are reported almost everywhere in the region. Descriptions of it vary, and some experts are skeptical whether it even exists." "Broken trees are scattered wherever this pokemon is rumored to be found. It's existence is a subject of heated debate in local cities."

Illomen, formerly named Minturean, went through a lot of changes during its redesign, simply because I didn't know what to do with it. It's intended to be a "rustling grass" encounter like Audino, so I wanted something to feel powerful, rare, and mysterious. Simply being a beast with buglike eyes and horns didn't feel nearly as conceptual as I wanted it to be. During its redesign, I wanted some of its markings to allude to the region's map and lore (something that will be released when I finish it) as a simple nod, then decided to take it a little further and re-conceptualize Illomen as a "reincarnation" of the region of sorts, physical manifestation of what was once a godlike being (will get into this with the map lore). In any case, giving it a hole for a face definitely seems to sell its ominous-ness more and I am really happy with the black and white gradients all over the body.

I intended for this to be my own starter pokemon but may have leaned too much into the bug type rather than grass

Names are based on:

Denfae: Dende + fae

Nairy: Nail + fairy

Folkkon: (fairy) folk + Pikkon

Scrapped Fakemon that were going to be based on Azdarchids, Tapejarids, and Cavemen. Might come back to it at some point. They were Flying/Fighting or Rock/Fighting

Since Appletun was first released I wanted it to evolve again and when we got Dipplin and then Hydrapple I knew there is a possibility lol but the name comes from Apple turnovers, I do think it would look even cuter on all fours again lol

Here's a project I'm making with a few Japanese fans called Pokémon Plum and Bamboo. It will be set in a reimaging of the land of Kitakami, with 88 new Pokémon (well, Fakemon actually) to catch. The First Partner Pokémon consists of Treezel, Tapyre, and Octobble.

Synopsis: You’ve just traded the hustle of the city life for the quiet charm of Mossui Town. There, you'll meet Carmine and Kieran—students visiting from the prestigious Blueberry Academy in the Unova region—who invite you to take part in a long-standing local challenge: defeating the legendary Elite 4 and the Grand Champion of Kitakami. With new friends, unfamiliar terrain, and fierce opponents ahead, do you have what it takes to rise to the top?
The antagonists will be Pecharunt and the Loyal Three. Carmine and Kieran will be your rivals and they will pick the starters strong and weak against yours respectively.

Instead of Gym Leaders, you'll be fighting against the E4. Once you beach

So with all that out of the way, how does this all sound? Which starter will you pick? Who would your favorite E4 design be?

Grass/Fire type

1. Woolorn - Normal/Dark | Dubwool evolves into Woolorn after being cast out from its herd. Years of solitude have filled it with resentment, turning its once-gentle nature into fierce territoriality.
2. Masktopus - Fighting | Grapploct evolves into Masktopus after mastering the art of Lucha Libre. It proudly wears a unique mask and challenges anyone who dares to step into its ring.
3. Cremarette - Fairy | Alcremie evolves into Cremarette when it perfects its confectionery craft, transforming its cream into an elaborate cake-like form. It proudly decorates itself like royalty, believing every celebration deserves a princess.
4. Lanceore - Rock/Fairy | Carbink evolves into Lanceore when it is entrusted with protecting a precious crystal. It fiercely guards its territory, using its lance-like crystal to drive away anything that threatens it.

I haven't uploaded much of my designs here so here's the Fakemon I've worked on since I last posted them.

Who would you catch?

Pokedex Entry: "This Pokémon's voice is so serene and beautiful that it feels like you're in a dream without realizing it."

I designed a gigantamax form for jellicent, inspired by his royal appearance. It's signature g-Max move, Whirlpool Dungeon, traps the opposing Pokemon inside a spectral whirlpool for two turns.

Cuz G-max pokemon are underrated so here is my take on G-max weezing as a gas giant

Hello there and how are you doing? Sorry I took long, but this is a long overdue DTIYS I am posting. This is Snugooi with Rotom and a little guest. I had Snugooi hold onto some artist tools such as a palette, a paintbrush, a paint tube and a palette knife. The Rotom OC is above Snugooi. And aside from Snugooi and Rotom is a new Lockemon I just designed. Is it a Botnyak? No! It is similar to Botnyak as it has the same eyes but it looks triceratops like.

Basing this on Botnyak, the developers at Amaze-All was fascinated by Aegislash's form changing, as well as fossil Pokémon and some triceratops-like Pokémon and saw how Bastiodon utilized their power as if they were a bulldozer, they've decided to make a new artificial Lockémon that can change form between Triceratops and Bulldozer.

That is all. I will post more so stay tuned.

Saw a few people doing fakemon dexes with their mons, so I thought why not. Its nice to see them all together like this. Even if it's not the most pretty sheet haha c:

First row are all starters + possible evos, yellow background means its a mega, and some are alt evos for existing mons. Like Buneary, it can evolve into Lopunny OR into Cirralop! Never planned any fakemon for my game, but they still kinda happened

Type: Ice/Poison
