>>10579651 (OP)
What about these?

>>10579684
No they aren't. The region is based on South America. The last time I checked, Egyptian sarcophagi are not commonplace in North America. While some of the pokémon are influenced by the area they're based on, it's not a strictly binding thing.

Also Magnitogorsk was just the visual inspiration and the inspiration behind the name. I'm pretty sure that there are factories in South America.

didn't have that image. thanks.

Should I remove the 'mons that are already on the Wiki from the vote composite? Or just leave all of them on there?

Did someone saved the water scorpion from some thread ago ? It was neat.
Besides, I had an idea for a bug/ghost pokemon. It would be a bug using an old conquistador-like helmet as a shell. But there would be already be a ghost inside, so the helmet has a violet aura, eyes, and ghostly arms coming from inside the helmet that could be used for punch moves.

Link to the wiki?

>>10579651 (OP)
The ones I think look good is the steelsnake, that jazzghost and mexghost, the grass flying lizard, the grass/ground water/rock fire/ice and the bugs and maybe the boiling fish.

The bug with the spikes had a little too much spikes. I didn't like the dog with the thing in its back, it looked a little too much (dare I say it) Digimon-ish

All IMO

Wow.. /vp/, you've really outdone yourself.
These designs are terrible. They're ugly, are vague in reference, and just plain old look bad.
I had high hopes for this project, but I'm hoping more and more each day that it's going to just dissolve like all the other /vp/ projects.
I was one of the drawfags from about a week or so back, and I hereby quit. Not that any of you will care, but I just refuse to take part of this any more if these are seriously the best you guys can come up with.
Best of luck arguing over your stupid little designs to the point that they all end up bastardized like these.

>>10579726

Gym leaders and typing will be decided when we have most of our Pokemon completed. It's pointless to do it now because then we would have to force Pokemon designs.

>>10579697

After creating many Pokemon based on South American animals and South American culture and myths, a Pokemon based on Russia would not fit well at all. This isn't the same deal as Unova has as it's based off North America, this is far more strict.

It's just a steel/electric pokémon based on a factory then. Forget I said anything about Russia. Ignore the parts of the pokémon that are clearly Russian, such as jack shit.

>>10579763
that's pretty sweet

also, that poncho ghost is a total bro

>>10579757
Maybe the mossy poke, could change to a ghost/dark awesomeness when it holds a special item?

>>10579778

I like it. But I don't think Gen 3 rom engines work that way. A more doable change would be using a certain item like an evolutionary stone to "evolve" it, then use it again to revert back.

>>10579763
Very nice

>>10579771

No no, I say we keep it. Who the fuck said everything had to be South american? The overall THEME is, not every pokemon. Look at everything we have up there, not everything is SA-related.

Besides, Russia fits in well with the souther tip and the snowy reaches. I say keep it.

>>10579799
Weren't we supposed to make this on the Gen 5 engies?

>>10579676

It's cute, would train. I didn't even know this was a South America thing, but its connection to Russiaisn't even that tight. And South American themes and influences get old real fast due to the fact that South American culture is one of the most shallow, lamest in the world.

Alright, got the composite images. They aren't number at the moment, making sure I didn't miss any 'mons.

I have six, and will (hopefully) be dumping them in the right order this time.

>>10579771
>>10579804

Not only do we not have to base every single Pokemon on something from South America, but we also need Pokemon for the Safari Zone. Some anons have already suggested putting a few mons that seem non-native to the region there.

Nice! Glad to see someone's still working with my concepts.

We still need a name for the Harlem jazz one though..

>>10579809

It would quite literally be impossible to make this on the Gen V engine. Not only has research into that engine barely scratched the surface, but the maps are ridiculously convoluted and unreceptive to editing, one of the reasons being the 3D graphics. There would barely be a new region. Not to mention that they'd have to do 10x the spriting for the pokemon due to the battle screen movements.

Gen 3 is basically 100% malleable and you can basically do anything with it.

>>10579804
>>10579819

It's been this way for awhile now. Wasn't my idea, but every Pokemon that has been part of this project for some time either is based off South America or cannot be applied to any single culture, with the exception of the Mexican ghost, which is still Latin American.

>>10579809

It's almost virtually impossible to add new maps into a Gen 5 game, without some serious work. It's either a Gen 3 hack or a RPG Maker game, any other options will require too much work.

RPG Maker games could make the game look Gen 5-ish, but I think more people know how to hack Gen 3 roms well.

Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing. All we need to do is find a FireRed ROM with the physical/special split, and then add the Pokemon/tilesets/etc.

After that, it's scripting and mapping. We'll probably need someone to work on the core, however.

In all honesty. Most of these seem forced.

Fettlekish and Cuppy are the only ones that seem like true blue legitimate pokemon.

File: 1354131121929.png-(64 KB, 1609x840, VP POKEDEX IDEAS.png)

Gonna post these again. If anyone wants to redesign any of these, or give me feedback, I'd appreciate it. We had someone working on new versions of the beanbugs last thread, hoping to see if they've done anything else yet.

"Let me explain the concepts:
The Bug/Darks are based on the fact that the Amazon rainforest includes large amounts of unnamed and undiscovered bugs. This Pokemon sort of represents an unknown insect, as represented by its ability.

The Bug triple split line is based on beans and ants. The middle one is generic, the bottom left is based on Cocoa beans, the bottom right is based on poisonous beans, and a morningstar, and the right is based on coffee beans. I also considered going with a more caffeinated looking "crazed" bean as the starter, and then evolving into even more insane looking Cocoa and Coffee beans, axing the poison beans, but I didn't think I could pull of the art required to make the beanants look all hyped up.

Locofan is something I drew to fill up space. I don't even know.

If anyone wants to play around with these concepts, or use them for inspiration, or even redraw them, they're MORE than welcome. I am not artistically inclined."

File: 1354133993623.jpg-(1.17 MB, 2416x3440, trainer.jpg)

I know we aren't at this stage yet, but what do you think of this guy as a trainer, gym leader or E4?

It could be Braston from this idea:
>>10579726

>>10580320

If it's Braston, I'd say it needs a more polished refined look. Like 10579726 says, it's a victorian airship, if we go with that.

Maybe give him a more touched up look? something that looks like it came from the 1800's but with a hint of pokemon thrown into it.

That's my take at least.

>>10580320
>>10580353

I have to admit I like the steel/flying gym idea, but would it add some type disadvantages? Then again, we want this region to be a little more challenging after all.

I kind of picture a steampunk theme here. Like a gentlemen and lady duo, Classy and well polished, but at the same time, captains of an air ship, which would mean aviator gear, maybe a parachute or jetpack on one of them?

>>10580388

Okay, just to clear up, all very good ideas.

I had these designed for another project a while ago but I decided it wasn't going anywhere, so yeah. it's just ideas, not set in stone or anything.

The original idea I had for avia and braston (above) was like what >>10580388
said. A duo of two, one was a mechanic to fix the ship, one was a pilot to drive it.

It was a very victorian concept, so yes it can easily be changed and played around with, but I figured I should at least clarify.

File: 1354135490444.png-(33 KB, 287x200, frog.png)

Ok guys, ok, today I got a great idea if we're still going with the evil guys destroying nature.
The picture is of a bull frog/white blood cell Pokemon, I got the idea in biology today. What I came up with is that this guy can engulf anything, as long as it isn't 3x as big as him. And his role is to pretty much protect nature and just eat any threats (like white blood cells). So the natives can team up with these guys, and, I dunno, save stuff? That's pretty much all I thought of, natives+this guy= bros

I'm thinking it'll be Psychic type, that way it can just pick up things and float them into its mouth no problem.
The little ring on its head was supposed to be a halo, like its a little angel to the natives. A white from isn't fun.
And I wasn't sure what animal to pair the white blood cell to, when I remembered bullfrogs eat anything that fits into their mouth. It fits.
So anyways, I got super excited with this idea. This guy isn't legendary or anything, just "sacred" to the natives or something. Give your thoughts or questions.

>>10580439
Oh, I also made a dex entry for it
"Scientists call this pokemon the immune system of nature, as it engulfs any potential threats. It can consume objects up to three times its size"

>>10580320
He has a shirt, a sweater-vest, and a vest over his sweater-vest?

>>10580428
The intention was that he was about 11, and had to wear it because of sandstorms. I dunno though.

>>10580439
Kind of reminds me of the "Blood cells" in the Tree of beginings in Lucario's movie.

File: 1354135866598.png-(15 KB, 608x377, IceClimberLlamas.png)

I saw that you had some Grass llamas, but I was wondering if you guys needed more Ice/Rock.

>>10580455
I kinda assumed that was what it's for but if that is the case, he needs way more eye protection. A little bandanna doesn't do much up against a desert with a decent wind.

I'm going to go ahead and say what I've been holding back for a while.

Stop fucking designing fakemon that are just animal + plant motif or animal + plant on its back.

It's really fucking tired. It was kind of cool when bulbasaur did it. The ones we had at the beginning of the project were likewise pretty well done.

But seriously. there's a point where it has to stop and we've clearly crossed it. .

>>10580483
Indeed!

>>10580456
I haven't seen that movie, is it pretty much the same thing? Or is there enough of a difference?

>>10580510
the blood cells aren't actual pokemon and aren't sentient, they just kinda appear and remove anything foreign with no discrimination.

>>10580529
you lost me at tackle

Can I reccomend someone design an Ice, Psychic/Ice or Dark/Ice sherpa Pokemon to go with all of these fucking llamas?

Ice because duh
Psychic to keep all of the animals together
Dark because it could falsely lead trainers to their doom and steal their llamas.

>>10580547

Revised.
I set about designing him as a trainer who follows you around a bit, similar to Wally.

Maybe he's a trainer in the Victorian airship too? I quite like the idea of an otherwise anonymous gym trainer who isn't the leader being a character in his own right.

Daycares have to be careful of this pokemon appearing and scaring children.

>>10580645
Crazy shit, huh?

>>10580667
Eh, it's understandable. If the whole pentagram thing was intentional, then clearly they were going for an occult-inspired designed. the Star of David is often associated with the occult due to Goetia, Goetic demon summoning, and Esotericism which incorporates Kabbalah. The former because demon-summoning was said to have its roots in King Solomon, who (legend has it) would capture demons and basically use them for his amusement like pokemon. The latter because Kabbalah is Jewish.

Hi again! Just letting you know that I'm still working on those bugs, have all of them sketched, gunna have them done by tonight.

>>10580723
Dude we make fun of hicks and republicans all the time and that's out own culture and racist. Niggers are also our culture and it's also racist. Way to avoid Jynx and the obvious negroid roots of Scraggy and Scrafty, by the way.

Also, if it's not racist if it's your own culture, and sherpas are part of the South American culture, then it isn't racist.

Further, so long as it is merely a reference and not a caricature, then it will be seen as anything from a cute nod to a borderline honor that we even remembered them.

On top of that, would anyone else have remembered sherpas if I hadn't mentioned them? Isn't racism based in widely known ideas about a certain culture?

And on a final note, who is going to see this and complain about your supposed racism? this is a /vp/ project which will be played by maybe a few dozen people. A hundred or so at mas.

In closing, loosen up.

So, I haven't been keeping up with this thing whatsoever, but it looks like you guys are taking it pretty seriously. Just thought i'd chip in my 2 cents, and suggest finding an artist who can mimic Sugimori's style well (there are tons out there) and have them redraw the final designs.
That's how GF actually does it with sugimori- bunch of different designers, Sugimori finalizes and draws the official art-, as i'm sure you know. It'd make everything look more complete and official.

Just a suggestion for you guys. Have to say, these desings look badass so far.Loving the wolf guys.

Let's stop this argument here.

>>10580527
Why would you pass up the opportunity to turn a lions mane into flames surrounding it's head? I don't get why everyone else is against this one. It seems to fit so perfectly. I know fire starters have become cliche with this motif but as far as the lion goes, it's not really a contrived thing, it's just begging for it's mane to burst into flames like the sun.

>>10580806
Oh, okay. Now it's racist against ganguro girls instead. Still racsit.

>>10580786
We did discuss this a few threads back and that's the conclusion we reach, one guy to draw everything or two to five people drawing in the same style. but thank you anyway

>>10580754

OH BOY HERE WE GO

but seriously. let's not. we've got pokemon to design

>>10580836
I'll go ahead and design the sherpa, then, mr. high and mighty.

Ganguro girls are a part of asian culture
Jynx mocks asian culture
Jynx is racist.
Wheeee

>>10580834
That's what I'm saying. I just think. If this were Gen 1 and the designs thought let's make a lion poke, it would be the first thing to pop into their heads that the mane lends itself incredibly well. Not to mention lions in culture are often associated with fire in mythology. I can understand that the design came up with may not have been great but the overall concept isn't really bad. I mean not when we have so many mons the list that are basically recolored stylized animals with no extraordinary features or like someone point out earlier just arbitrary elements of an arbitrarily pick "interesting" typing or completely unrelated cultural elements added.

I kind of like the monkey one.
Everything else... No.

>>10580868
Maybe to make it more interesting though, since it isn't enough for you guys, combine elements of the fire lion with elements of the chimera. Also I'd like to point out, staring into the face of a lion with a mane of fire around it's head would evoke images of looking into the sun. Shit I think it's a good idea but I guess the rest of you are concerning yourselves with what other fakemon makers have done. I looked on deviant art though and really didn't see many well designed lion fakemon.

>>10580868
> mean not when we have so many mons the list that are basically recolored stylized animals with no extraordinary features or like

This is actually annoying me kind of, but likewise, it can be said about Gen 1. Ekans, rattata, butterfree, krabby, goldeen, tauros...

>>10580890
Actually I know most of you don't see it but I;m really convinced on this idea so here are some good references for perhaps revamping the idea. It should also be noted the cultural significance of iran's sun and lion.

>>10580895
Ya. I think you and I agree a lot on some of these things. We do need a good balance of mons that are fairly ordinary and then those that stand out. The ordinary ones I feel need a good balance between looking ordinary and looking like basic animals in the same way the more spectacular ones need a balance between being sophisticated and inspired and being overly elaborate. That's my opinion anyway.

>>10580890
>Also I'd like to point out, staring into the face of a lion with a mane of fire around it's head would evoke images of looking into the sun.

This is actually a clever idea, and I think this is how we should be thinking when designing these. Of course, we have a cultural, natural, and mythological basis for these things however, when we think about connotations, associations, and what these things actually mean when taken in context, we can make for interesting Pokemon designs that are more than just object + animal.

Not that I'm dissing any of our fantastic designs so far.

Nor am I trying to make myself sound more important

You wanna give the wendigo wolf some antlers?

Which wolf?
And no I don't think you are being mean, I think we're coming to some sort of understanding between our different opinions.
I saw this pic by the way and thought if we do wind up with both the wolf and lion in the dex, we might think of them respectively representing moon and sun.

>>10580932
The one with the altar on its back was based off the Wendigo originally.

>>10580901
see when I think fire lion I see it evolving into something like this, where it's mane has solidified and it's more like a solrock then a rapidash. Hell you could even slap a rock typing on it if you're so inclined, make it a living statue that was made as tribute to the sun.

>>10580932
I guess in iran the Lion and Sun is one of the most important emblems. Also the astrological Leo is associated with fire. When I came up with the idea I wasn't blowing smoke out of my ass. Another interesting Idea is perhaps incorporating the Aztec calander face in the design since were going with the whole S. American theme.

I didn't make that. I'd say go for it though. It'll probably look more like a wendigo if you did.

File: 1354142854286.jpg-(171 KB, 1021x740, dillweed 2.jpg)

This was the art for a Pokemon named Dillweed.
I was thinking it should be either ground/grass or rock/grass (like the one on the right).
I was thinking that if it would be ground/grass, the one on the right should just have a smoother tail.
But I dislike the fact that ground/grass would have a 4x weakness to ice.

>>10579902
Terrible sprite

Wasn't there some sort of latin american story about a rabbit who tried to knock over a sticky scarecrow and got stuck to it?

You could pick practically any type and make a sticky-pawed rabbit with the Sticky Hold ability. Have it be one of those weird 'Normal/______' Pokemon. I think we have enough poison for it to be poison-type, or could it work as Normal/Poison?

>>10580948
Eeh, it's not that creative of an idea. Just leave that person be, if he stole it oh well. It's deviant art

>>10580950
>>10580921
Were there any wolves in ancient maya/aztec empire?

And are we still doing anything with that spirit coyote idea? What happened to flintaroo?

When am I finally going to see some cirque brazil up in this bitch? We need some carnival themed pokemon. Someone already mentioned maybe monkies that mimic performers? Maybe some magical jester-esque pokemon? Jugglers? Dancers?

>>10580439
I like it. We have a lot of frog designs though. I say we put them all together and see what we like.

>>10580973
We were originally going to combine that triptoad with the shit eating grin on his face with the tribal treefrog design to make a poison psychic acid trip hypnotoad poison dart treefrog. Whatever happened to that?

>>10580954
I was just thinking something just like that. Although, I'm terrible at making pictures on the computer. I'll try scanning a picture onto my computer.

>>10580932
>>10580921
I'd be all over this. Antlers would be sweet too.

>>10580982
If it isn't the new smallest Pokemon, I will be very upset. Real life treefog size or bust. Nuke its HP, Attack, and Defense, give it ridiculous SpAtk, SpDef and Speed.

>>10580972
Yes, there were wolves in South America. One of the only domesticated animals the mesoamericans had was the dog.

>>10580972
Some anon made a really zany looking monkey earlier, i can see that working. And I agree we should look at other s. american cultures not just the mayans and aztecs although they are important.

>>10581006
Agreed. Get some macaws in here, drawfriends!

>>10580983
As am I. That's why I've been drawing then scanning and occasionally touching up in Paint.

>>10580483

This.
We're starting to get overrun with animal Fakemon as well as Grass types. We need to start coming up with some inorganic mons and get some more outlandish designs going like the voodoo doctor penguin.

>>10581016
Agreeing with this. I think we also need to take a break from designing new ones and handle the ones we have already. We could start by making wiki pages and changing or removing them if necessary. That may be easier to keep track of our designs rather than a bunch of images.

>>10581033
>>10581016
This

File: 1354144185549.png-(1.33 MB, 1705x1158, SunLionCalandar.png)

So I whipped this up real quick. The left is the old design. The right is starting to incorporate the Mayan calendar motif. Not much of a redesign at all actually but a start. I wanted to keep it looking like fire while also retaining the shape of a mane and evoking the spires in the Mayan calendar. If anyone else wants to add onto it, change it, edit it, come up with your completely own rendition go for it. I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with.

File: 1354144321804.jpg-(21 KB, 300x322, 1232488789906_f.jpg)

>>10581066
This is probably my favorite image of the mayan calendar. Just throwing it out there

>>10581038
>>10581033
These are good points. We've brought it up but there has hardly been any action at it. Well, is there any designers of the selected ones here so we can collaborate on finalizing them?

>>10581066
Not bad, but it needs more too it. Give it the earings and the mouth, make it's face look like the mayan architecture more then a lion, maybe make it's legs more rocky?

>>10581075
Maybe I can implement some of the facial decorations Mayans and Aztec would wear on their face on the lion's in order to further give the sense of this calandar.

>>10581066
>>10581075
Wait, wait, I had an idea for just a floating Rock/Psychic Mayan Calendar legendary. I can't bring it to life myself, but maybe we should pursue a non-animal now.

>>10581066
Make it sitting facing forward with a straight back. Think Ninetails. It makes it look more regal.

>>10581095
I don't want to design legendaries yet. We need to know more about the plot/story first.

>>10581095
Will look too much like bronzong.

>>10581103
That's the point. Bronzong has some pretty mayan/aztec designs going on.

File: 1354144734173.jpg-(442 KB, 475x475, DSC06800.jpg)

>>10581090
I'll get to it eventually. Definitely like the earrings idea as well as maybe some face paint type features. Will draw it bigger later and further work out the mane.

>>10581095
Don't let the detractors limit your creativity. It doesn't necessarily need to be a legendary though, but either way go for design it.

>>10581157
Legendaries don't evolve. Also like >>10581101
said, we shouldn't design legendaries until we have characters and plot decided.

If it were to be a regular Pokemon: I like the concept, however we need more change in between the species. Each one looks like a larger version with meaner eyes and more fins.

>>10581153
Not a mustache yo, it's a mouth. The bits underneath are just a pattern (which is why you can see it under the mouth of the evo)

Can we decide on these aspects:
- Number of legendaries
- Whether said legendaries will be part of the game's plot because
interacting with legendaries was optional in Gen I and II.

>>10581262
Crystal would like to have a word with you.

Added a few more pages for pokemon designs that people seemed to like. Any others that stand out?

File: 1354146697791.png-(587 KB, 838x1158, wendigowarewolfshaman.png)

Does anyone with computer drawing experience think they can take this design and make it more simplified/smoothly drawn sigmori like? I added crystal wendigo horns as well and some face paint. I'm kinda running with the idea that this thing is like a shaman-esque guardian of crystal caverns high in the snowy mounts. I can't really get the crystals around the neck to look that they are dangling shaman necklace though...

>>10581278
I like this guy a lot, I just wish I had more time to contribute something at the moment

>>10581278
Oh, I like this guy, too, but he looks like a wolf form of the Lynx?

File: 1354146995275.jpg-(107 KB, 720x1372, Mayageist.jpg)

I was trying to make the blue things feathers, but to no avail.
I was thinking some sort of Mayan based ghost.

>>10581303
The colors are very similar. Originally i had him basically grey white and black. He's supposed to be pinniped. So anyone willing to redraw it feel welcome to either draw it slowched or as a quadraped.

>>10581262
It all depends on the storyline. If it is something that involves them, then yes. If it doesn't, then no. My favorite idea does involve the legendaries (that one with the spirit world and the scientists?), so in that case we would need to design them according to plot.

I would say the two/three main ones, a side trio, and maybe two others? Or we could just have two pseudo-legendaries instead (those poison/water were contestants if I recall correctly). The duo/trio and side trio are basically a given, though.

>>10581322
I think it would be best to keep it biped to make it less like the ice lynx. Obviously there are differences, as species, but the ice necklace and ice claws are the same concept.

Tbh, I like wolves better, so a biped ice werewolf is cooler in my opinion, despite spending a while day working on the Lynx.

Guys.

We need to start a pastebin or a DOCX Everytime we start these threads we get the same questions and responses,

This way, we doccument all the stuff we've agreed on, what we have to show, and what can be worked out upon.

We have ideas for leaders, about 70 something pokemon, a vague idea of the teams and evil organization, let's write it all down already.

Ever been to /vg/ you know what I'm talking about.

>>10581389

How could we have ideas for gym leaders without having Pokemon and Pokemon placement completed? Let's not get ahead of ourselves, that's something we should start working on when we get much farther along.

>>10581389
Agreed, each time we start a thread everyone comes in and goes "These look bad" or, "What happened to X???"

We need to be able to show ALL the stuff we've done in one post.

>>10581397
I think it might have been some typing ideas, any maybe some personalities. Although they can be rearranged, I agree that they'll most likely be completely changed.

>>10581399
I can take a crack at building one. Although I don't have everything saved, I'll need to go and collect the pictures.

Are you guys doing evo's of prev generation pokemon in this pokedex?

If so, I'd like to suggest Mismagius.
I don't know why, but it's my favorite pokemon.

I'm a pretty good artist, so I could probably draw up a few things.

>>10581419
Is Vibrava/Flygon based off of Dragonflies? And Yanma/Yanmega? You'd need a unique combo,...

>>10581419
Actually, a dragonfly pokemon would be very good. We have a shortage of bug pokemon, and we could always design it around another type we're lacking in. Fire/bug or water/bug, maybe?

>>10581433
water/bug sounds good
the larvae normally live in the water, so it fits perfectly

>>10581433

Those aren't how you spell "Bug/Dragon."

>>10581134

OH GOD, YES.

Looks fucking awesome, thanks so much dude.

What do other people think? Lookin' good? To clarify, middle is a beanbug (Bug type) that evolves based on which of its stats is highest at level 20. If it's speed, it evolves to the one above. (Bug/Lightning originally, but that looks more Bug/Flying) With high Attack or Special Attack, it evolves into the one on the bottom right (Bug Poison). With high defense or special defense, it evolves into the bottom left. (Bug/Ground). The three evolutions are based on coffee beans, poison beans, and cocoa beans, respectively.

>>10581446
We could do that too. I don't know how many dragon pokemon we have at the moment, though, we might want to pay attention.
