Thread: Ideas for Gen VI Pokemon

What about another gargoyle Pokemon? It could be Rock, Rock/Flying, or Rock/Dragon, and they could appear at the top of certain buildings. They'd be lonely because they outlive most of their human friends/because people mistake them for sstatues and never go near them, and want people to interact with them. And they could be the next Voltorb: you interact with them, thinking they're just a statue with a PokeBall in its mouth. Turns out, it's a trick to initiate a fun battle for their amusement.

Stupid idea, I know. But I like it.

How about a hedgehog pokemon with high speed

How about a digital Pokemon? Not 'digital' in the sense of Porygon, but more like Rotom. I think it'd work well with Rotom - the new Pokemon could represent data and information.

I'd like to propose an Ice/Bug wasp/bee.

I know what Beedril is, don't even start.

Let's see...we still have yet to see the unlikely fire/water combo-type Pokemon. If there were to be a Pokemon like that, then I could see some boiling water Pokemon or a volcano Pokemon (though we already have that).

And my three favorite types: psychic, ghost and dark. I would love to see a dual-type psychic/ghost and psychic/dark Pokemon. A psychic/ghost Pokemon could be some kind of exorcist-kind Pokemon and a psychic/dark Pokemon seems really evil (in a good way).

Electric/Fighting Pokemon.

First form is a "sock"...not really a living sock, but a strange creature wearing a sock-based outfit, like, its head looks like a sock-puppet (with little button eyes), it has a thunderbolt pattern around its neck (like the little lines on socks around the ankle), its hands have sock gloves, and its feet look like the pajama buttons. There'd be a little flap in the back where the creature's real tail would be. Why Electric/Fighting? Well, it's footwear, so it'd be able to kick, and it'd also gather static electricity moving around due to being a sock.

Second form it relocates to a giant sneaker shoe. You see its eyes in the holes where the shoestring goes, and it has a row of teeth that are between the end of the shoe, and were the sole begins. It's got large, cable shoestrings as well which it uses to move around, and can also restrict opponents by wrapping around them and shocking them.

Also, a Grass/Fighting Pokemon based off Pinocchio...it's a marionette doll, and it uses its strings like wires to swing around like a Tokusatsu/Wuxia type fighter, performing all kinds of cool acrobatic attacks. It'd also have a cool little mask made out of leaves.

Concepts That Could Probably Be Revisited
For Pokemon that touch on a concept but evolve into something completely different (Slakoth -> Slaking). Or who weird it up to near unrecognizably (Spinda).
* Echidna (Cyndaquil starts as one and then diverges into something unrecognizable)
* Platypus (Ditto for Psyduck - also - real Platypi are poisonous and electric, which is more than enough to go on for a Pokemon concept).
* Kangaroo (The only connection Kangaskhan has to this concept is their pouch).
* Panda Bear (No, I don't count Spinda)
* Tiger (At least as a non-Legendary)
* Orca (Non-Legendary)
* Camel (Numel and Camerupt are . . . kind of camels - there's still room for a pure Ground-type, though)
* Gorilla
* Giraffe
* Sloth
* Rinocerous (Rhyhorn's line is obviously more kaiju/dinosaur than rhinoceros at this point)
* Hyena
* Duck
* Ostritch
* Condor
* Anteater
* Hawks/Eagles
* Chameleon
* Rattlesnake
* Shark
* Preying Mantis
* Snail
* Mammoth
* Venus Flytrap
* Thunderbird

I've heard people say the reason we don't have dolphins is because they're hunted by the Japanese.

Which is just plain silly.

But you could probably work that angle into a Pokemon, though, like an aquatic Farfetch'd. But I like the various ideas I've seen thrown around utilizing the sonar powers of dolphins and giving it a "ring" motif, like having a ring that floats around its body so its perpetually jumping through a hoop.

For generations I've wanted a wolf/husky based Pokemon. A real powerpack. Kind of an ice-type Aracanine. That'd be sweet.

Hey, GF granted my wish last gen for a ghost/water type, so who knows!!

I'd also like some dino mons...maybe a T Rex or raptor <333

a lot of things in that list can fit different pokes. not all pokes are based on a single animal, and pokes technically arent 'animals' and do not exactly correspond but rather, are inspired by. so, again, a lot of those can already be considered "touched upon" satisfying a bunch of the target audience. from each category i can name a few pokes that match an animal listed.

that said, they *do* like to return to some ideas. we have several different frogs now, more rodents than i'd care for, plenty of moths [but i want moar!] and a few pigs. plenty other overlapping inspiring-animals. so everything on this list, and not, are valid.

also, that list is fantastic. i would love a proper squid pokemon!!!

I kind of want an Electric-type to be added to the Monkey Trio (Pansear, Pansage, Panpour...then it would be a quartet). It would probably look ridiculous, though. I keep imagining it with a yellow lightning symbol on top of its head, and it could evolve with the Thunder Stone. I don't know about its name, though, since it has to be cooking-related.

And it would be crossing its arms and represent "do no evil". The three wise monkeys may sometimes be depicted with a fourth member, so it could definitely work. I personally dislike the elemental monkeys, but I honestly wouldn't say no to a fourth member. Electric-types are awesome.

Why does it have to be cooking related, though? The only one whose name might be cooking-related is Pansear (pan searing), unless I'm missing something on the other two here.

A giant flying fox bat would be awesome.



It could be a stand alone no evo or two evolution Dark/Flying or Dark/Psychic.

Both ''Pouring'' and ''Sage'' are also elements of cooking, but one has to do with liquids, while the other is a herb (iirc).

YES!

I'd like it to either be a stand alone, or evolve into a Dracula-like mon with wing/capes.

OR a genetic test subject. Yes I watch too many animated movies.

Also, it raps. Yes.
