Australian Pokemon - single stages

Another set of Fakemon for my Goorda region, based on a combination of Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand. Previous posts: non-natives, regional standards, creepy lines, regional variants, birds, early-game standards, misc 2, misc 1, variant starters, starters

Wakaremai, the Transport Pokemon, water/dragon type. They have been used since ancient times as transportation, carrying humans between islands with the canoes growing from their backs. Some scientists believe ancient Goordan people created the species, but are not sure how. SOme legends say that people were first brought to Goorda on the back of a gigantic Wakaremai. While massive, Wakaremai are gentle giants who feed exclusively on plankton and are easily tamed by humans. Since the invention of motorboats, Wakaremai have become more common in the wild.

Wakaremai is a combination basking shark and waka, Maori canoes. I based the design on this reconstruction waka. It fills the same niche as Lapras in being a transport focused water type and Lapras are either not native to Goorda or where never used for transport. Real life basking sharks are plankton-eating gentle giants just like Wakaremai. The story of Wakaremai bringing people to Goorda is based on Maori stories of how they first came to Aotearoa on canoes. I did make two boat sharks in the same region, but Wakaremai is a gentle giant and defensively oriented while Davalossam (in a previous post) is very hostile and offensively oriented. Wakaremai's name comes from "waka" and "reremai", the Maori word for basking shark.

Mimicrag, the Thin Pokemon, fairy/rock type. Their bodies are paper-thin, making them incredibly flexible, but they are so light that the wind will blow them away. They live inside cracks in rocks and only emerge on windless days. Mimicrag are intelligent and mischievous Pokemon that have been known to prank hikers, but they seem to mean no harm. Legends say that the Mimicrag taught the first humans in Goorda how to survive in their new homes.

Mimicrag is based on the mimi, mythical creatures from north Australia who had to live in cracks in rocks because their bodies were so thin wind could kill them. They were believed to have inhabited Australia before humanity and taught humans how to hunt and make rock art. Depictions of the mimi are found in a lot of petroglyphs, which inspired the rock typing. Mimicrag would be a very fast and lightweight, but defensively poor Pokemon, the opposite of most rock types. The name comes from "mimi" and "crag".

Windipet, the Carpet Shark Pokemon, flying type. These airborne Pokemon normally dwell high in the sky and eat clouds, but they occasionally come low enough to encounter humans. They are strong enough to carry a human, but need training as their normal flying style would quickly send the rider falling. Windipet are know to be playful and will spend hours playing with each other when they meet.

Windipet is a flying carpet that is a carpet shark. Specifically, it's a tasseled wobbegong and a tasseled carpet. Them living in the atmosphere and rarely coming down is a reference to atmospheric beasts, cryptids that allegedly live their entire lives in the sky. Windipet comes from "windy" and "carpet" and I tried to mimic the word wobbegong.

Didgeridoodlebug, the Noisy Pokemon, bug/normal type. It has eight horn-like organs on its back that it can move air through to create a very loud noise. Smaller, stick-like organs coating its back are banged together to make more noises. During mating season, Didgeridoodlebug create cacophonous symphonies to attract mates, much to the dismay of any nearby humans trying to sleep.

Didgeridoodlebug is based on two Australian musical instruments and Thopha saccata, a species of Australian cicada that is a contender for the loudest insect in the world. Much like real cicadas, their songs can be very frustrating for humans. The musical instruments are the didgeridoo and clapsticks, both of which are used by Aboriginal peoples. I made it part normal type both because we don't have a bug/normal yet and to give it STAB on moves like hyper voice and uproar. Its name comes from "didgeridoo" and "doodlebug". Cicadas aren't doodlebugs, but I just couldn't pass up on that pun.

Tejamasian Zebstrika - The Thunderbolt Pokemon

Larger and more solidly built than their Unovan cousins, these crossbreeds served as both transport, and loyal companions to ranchers, and cattle drivers alike.

Alongside their more mellow temperaments, their ability to both provide warmth, and sense incoming storms made them invaluable assets to the people of Tejamas.

When competing these Pokemon will rear up and joust with their horns. However, they will also use them in gestures of affection. Specifically, they seem to enjoy the static generated from rubbing their horns and faces against one another.

It is less enjoyed by their trainers who often find themselves subject to this affection.

Vibrant Hearts

Status: Completed

Word length: 300,000+

Rating: T (see A/N for more details)

Relevant tags: M/F, Slowburn romance, Slice of Life, OC-centric, Original Pokémon region, Regional variants, Travelling, Angst/Fluff

Read on ao3

Summary

Hazel Rosewood knew a lot about flowers. And she would, having helped out on her parents' flower farm from the time she could stand until her 18th birthday. What she knew nothing about was the world outside of Bloomdale – the region of Anthen, a strange place filled with peculiar Pokémon said to be influenced by the thin veil between the physical and Hidden Realm. She'd dreamed of travelling to see the big cities up north since she was a little girl, but there was one thing stopping her.

She was a bit of a wimp. So much of one that she couldn't even catch her first Pokémon.

However, a chance encounter with a wild Growlithe changed the trajectory of her life, pushing her onto an impromptu journey that crossed paths with an array of colourful characters; a cold-hearted heiress with a cruel streak, an eccentric researcher with a non-existent work ethic, a naughty tree spirit lost in the woods, and many more. A slice of life adventure with a heavy coating of slowburn romance and a touch of the paranormal.

A Pokémon Region based off New Orleans because I gotta do everything myself around here…

Starters

Froakie: frogs and a tie to kalos

Grookey: music and percussion

Fuecoco: gators and spicy things

Regional Variant Evolutions

Greninja: has a masquerade sort of aesthetic while gaining the psychic or fairy type.

Rillaboom: having a voodoo sort of theme while gaining the dark or ghost type.

Fuecoco’s final evolution: will probably work fine on it’s own, but a variant gaining the grass or steel type sounds fun.

Geography

I could see this region being close to Hoenn or Alola on the map, with similar environments.

A lot of swamps to trudge through, but also breathtaking mangroves and marshes with diverse pokémon inhabitants.

The entire region is technically below sea level, with levees and natural barriers defending against floods.

Notable Information

A large celebration is held every year that attracts many tourists. Social classes and cultural norms are made fun of on this day.

Citizens compete to make the best float for the parade, and a wide variety of food is served.

This region is a hub for explorers. Many abandoned locations are dotted around that spark curiosity.

Trials

The water type trial is on a wrecked steamboat deep within the mangroves. Many strong wild pokémon call this place home and will attack if they spot you.

The ghost type trial lies within the largest above ground cemetery. Navigating it can be a challenge unless one memorizes the names on crypts.

The psychic type trial is located at an abandoned theme park. Various performers and fortune tellers reside here to practice their crafts.

The Evil Team

Consists of upper class people and descendants of the first “settlers” of the region.

They want to “uphold traditional values” and prevent the “erasing of the region’s history”.

Their plan is to sabotage the region’s levee system and cause extreme flash floods. This clean slate will allow them to “rebuild”.

The Player

Spent their early childhood in this region before having to move away because of a flood. Years later, they are returning home.

Their rival is their cousin they used to live next door to. They are competitive but also very protective.

They can expect to meet other extended family on their journey, who will help them out without hesitation.

I had a funny thought that I had to share

Aka Autistic battle maniacs convert an innocent sick child and he’s new pet to their cult feat a gym leader who’s about to die.

Okay so funny au where Kieran is an exchange student and arrives just at the right time because Uva Naranja Academy are going on a field trip to Hoenn for 5 days.

Wally gets new friends and grows stronger MUCH FASTER because one is good with Evs and Ivs, the other knows how to perfectly balance a team and the last one can help review strategies by battling

Also Arven and Penny are somewhere having fun, they’ll sometimes make a cameo to eat sandwiches with the rest

Kieran and Nemona are doing the gym challenge for fun

Niko is once again dragged into legendary bullshit and he hates that
