Fakemon Suggestions (5,532 views)

[Tao]

Hey guys,
Here is a thread where you can discuss about WT's selfmade Pokémon.
Have you suggestions for sprites? Do you think any of them need a little fix?
Have you suggestions for abilities or movesets?

Post all the things here.

I'm a little surprised to see Tao made this thread seeing as previously anyone who posted anything saying that they think the Fakemon needed changes or were better in previous versions were, to put it lightly, told off by WT...

I don't know what's your problem Bio, and why you are complaining about almost everything we do...
WT and I are just two guys making a Pokemon Fangame and we want to improve it, so the most of the people are lucky with the game (We can't do it right for everyone...)

Maybe WT was a bit harsh to that guys, but they speaked as their opinions about the new sprites were the only right ones. The first one wanted that WT is gonna contact him and talk about his "fail" about the new sprite. It was just his opinion that Moonkys new sprite was bad, i watched a lot of LP's of our game, and almost everybody was using a Moonky in his team, which means they like it.

I can't remember the second guy, and i don't need to.

This thread is for suggestions for little fixes like I wrote in the first post or for moves/abilites, and not for saying: "The old sprite was much better than the old one, fix it asap!"
Everybody can gives as critism about things from the game, but like i said before, we can't make it right for everybody.

Salaslam's last move should be called Toxic Torrent, Flareo's last move should be Volcanic Earthquake and Mountree's last move should be Petrified Uproot, all moves 3 moves put are 120 power and 90 accuracy

[WT]

I may have been a bit harsh when telling them off, but new members coming on to complain that they don't like specific sprites and that I HAVE to change them or else they won't play the game and not liking one sprite stopping them playing the game was pathetic, I didn't like that at all.

This thread is fine for SUGGESTIONS - meaning your opinion, then it can be discussed then decided.

I personally think we need to change the starters movesets as some of them don't seem fitting like Purrlit learning Sand Attack at LV 11 when it's a starting move. Example:

Herovor

start - Tackle
start - GROWL
6- RAZOR LEAF
9- Rollout
11- Leech Seed
14- ROCK TOMB
18- Growth
21- ROCK BLAST
25- Take Down
28- Leaf Tornado
32- Rock Polish
35- Energy Ball
39- Stone Edge
42- Synthesis
46- Leaf Storm
55 -ANCIENT POWER

Purlitt

start - Scratch
start - Tail Whip
6- Ember
9- Sand Tomb
11- SWIFT
14- Flame Wheel
18- Scary Face
21- SANDSTORM
25- METAL CLAW
28- Fire Fang
32- Will-O-Wisp
35- Flamethrower
39- BULLDOZE
42- Sunny Day
46- Eruption
55 -EARTH POWER

Salatad

start - Pound
start - LEER
6- Bubble
9- POISON STING
11- Water Sport
14- Bubblebeam
18- Focus Energy
21- Poison Tail
25- Body Slam
28- WATER PULSE
32- TOXIC
35- Aqua Tail
39- Poison Jab
42- Rain Dance
46- Hydro Pump
55 -CROSS POISON



I've switched around some of their starting moves, like Herovor gets Growl and Salatad gets Leer instead of the other way round, also, Herovor getting Razor Leaf earlier, it doesn't have anywhere for Vine Whip to come out of lol

This is just a suggestion and doesn't mean it's going to happen, it can get discussed.

[BioManiac]

sorry, I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining, just some stuff I really don't understand is all, but it's good to see you guys acknowledge that it was a bit harsh. And I agree with you that their posts were ridiculous, but the way I look at it is that they are 9, or younger, and are ignorant on how to properly display themselves, and are used to having things done their way, so I try not to take it to heart and laugh it off.

[WT]

Also, you don't understand the amount of private messages I get from people wanting to tell me what's wrong with this and that and what they want changed like they're the director of the game.
It gets very annoying that these people don't contribute to anything on the forums or to the game but complain on what they don't like the look of and telling me what I HAVE to change to please them. I understand they might be young but still, it's annoying.

One person complaining about how they liked the old Moonky sprite better and that I HAVE TO change it or else the won't play the game, that's the kinda thing I hate.

I'll say this to everyone, DON'T tell Tao or myself what you want us to change just to please you, don't send us private messages demanding it, make a suggestion on the forums, not a demand, example:

NO - "Change this 'fakemons' sprite cause I don't like it, it looks stupid, the old one was better, I don't want to play the game cause I don't like this 'Fakemon' it ruins the game for me blah blah blah"

YES - "In my opinion, I think this Pokemon could be revamped or remade, I think it could be better" - then give an example of what you think will make it better.

There us a major difference between a suggestion and a demand.

[Roxas]

So far in the game I really loved the Ghost Trio Scrow, Gaslit and Dozand, and I think you should do more trios like these. Also, you could make more ghost type Pokemon like these ones, I mean, you inspired in the Sandman for making Dozand and you inspiried in a Scarecrow to make Scrow, for example, and it has been proven that horror creatures and legends have a good combination with Pokémon, so I think you should explore more of them in this area, cuz youre bound to make more awesome ghost type Pokemon like dat.

I have a question: Is there a Fakemon like Eevee in this game? If not, I suggest making one! It would be really cool!

There are twho, Guppish and Baawool:

[hambone]

Some Floby's have the ability to make it hail and I noticed that they get buffeted by it. Is this supposed to happen? I just thought it was a little odd that it was getting harmed by it's own ability. Poor thing.

[xArcKnightx]

Does anyone Else think The Trollow Line should have an Ability alternitive to moody? i know moody can be helpful in some scenaios but i feel like it's really annoying for the most part.

Maybe as an alternite ability it could get Prankster, Intimidate, or Defiant, or traunt even.

[rioxa]

I think Stotox and its evolutionary line would've made a better scorpion family than what's in the game.

Hello!

So I made this account specifically just to bring out my suggestions on this awesome game!  I really do love this fan-project and cannot wait for the next installment to come out, it's just that good!  I love just how much content and how much Fakemon there is, and anticipate even more to come, as far as story, Fakemon, towns/cities, and anything else that may be on the drawing board.

Here are some suggestions I would like to bring up, as they may make a Fakemon more better for the overall of the game as well as the community.

Salanip  -  All of the starter pokemon and their evolution lines have outstanding designs, they look tough, inspired yet original, a great progression to their evolutions, and they have a lot of vigor.  What stuck out of all however is the design of Salanip.   All of the starter Fakemon have lively eyes, but Salanip looks as if he just witnessed some serious stuff going down (lol.)  Jokes aside, I would suggest maybe looking at the eyes, and also perhaps adding a bit of details to Salanip.  I can just barely notice the darker shading on Salanip's top sail. 

(Extra note, Salatad's claws/nails are purple, yet the evolution line is green.  Maybe switch to purple and see if they look better?  Minor suggestion, nothing to seriously concern, but if they look better then hey win-win lol.)

Terras and Petrovolt   -   I have a big weak spot for Dinosaur-inspired/Ancient Marine or Flying Reptile Pokemon, and this is no different, so when I saw this Pokemon he was joining my team.  Terras' design is perfect, however it's Petrovolt's design which I think may needs a look at.  The head and wings are most unalike of Terras.  I suggest making the wings more 'splayed' or no so static looking, and to change them to look like open wings with perhaps active lightning going down the 'finger's of the wings.  The head can still hold it's original shape but instead of what looks like a yellow pickaxe head like helmet you could shape it into a combination of a Pterodactyl and thunderbolt like head.  Though I would aim to make the beak not look 'cartoonish' or 'silly' and instead maybe have a design around the head to be a thunderbolt instead of BEING one itself.

Also, one huge suggestion, which ultimately turned me away from using Petrovolt later on.  I really, really dislike the ability 'Defeatist'.  I guess it's to limit powerful Fakemon but at least maybe look into giving it another ability, a new ability, or both?  That would really be nice.

Really like the Fossil Pokemon designs btw!

Stegron and Stegajolt   -   I noticed that Stegron has tail spikes at the end of its tail, yet Stegajolt does not.  I would suggest perhaps making them and perhaps the tail longer to make it more impressive looking.

Btw, just saying, I think Eclipser looks really creepy with those eyes lol.

Really love Irimp and Blimp!  My all time favorite Pokemon is Drifblim so this was instantly on my team.  At first I thought it was Steel/Ghost but I wasn't disappointed to see Steel/Flying, it's a great combonation, though I will have to say I think the abilities it gets are quite underwhelming.  The only move that could ever come into any play is Heavy Slam if and only if it has Heavy Metal, otherwise any moves that affect weight really don't put a dent into this flying tank anyways, so maybe a revision into their abilities?

Everything else I think is terrific!

I do wish to suggest expanding the movepools out of all the Pokemon for Level Ups/Possible Egg moves/Tutoring/TMs.  Also, I wish to express deep desire in making custom Pokemon cries.

Hello, after finishing your wonderful game I just wanted to come over to the forums and offer my opinions on just the couple of things I noticed, more so in the back tracking and continued play and then re-playing with a new team.

I know that there have been rumbles on the pokemon abilities. I seen them in the wiki and as I read over this thread I see them again.
My opinion on Terra/Petrovolt's Defeatist and the Trollow line's Moody are, I love each of them as they are. Using Terras in my last play-through was great, Defeatist became a part of the lore of this pokemon for me. Imagining ancient Terras being Defeatist in their lives with Aerodactyls just shoving whole nests out of perches and Terras and Petrovolts just flying to find new places just appeared in my mind. Similar with Trollow, I have a soft spot for Fairy pokemon and it was nice to see an unseelie represented in Trollow. Moody was again really fun to play with adding a pinch of randomness to each fight, however I can understand the want for different abilities as most people don't prefer 1 being locked to one option and 2 having abilities they see as negative so for this my suggestion would be to add egg abilities to each in a representative way of like "This is how the pokemon in the wild are" and "this is what a pokemon breed in captivity could be like" as for the abilities my suggestions would be Terras line - Competitive or Unnerve I feel are okay choices and for Trollow and it's ilk - Simple or Unaware both keep the "I'm not blatantly a positive ability" yet both prove useful at times. The idea of Raising a Simple Adamant Hone Claws using physical attacking Troll pokemon tickles a special part of me.

As for my other suggestions
Trollow I feel should have a Parting Shot type attack that lowers two non-attack/sp. attack stats and the move Snatch. Even without Simple, Snatch is a great move and seems very thematic with Trollow plus with moody Snatching someones boost would be hilarious.

Terras/Petrovolt I would like them to learn Lightning Strike from the TM. It wasn't a big gameplay issue just was sad I couldn't teach them it.

Salatad's fingers I feel would look better green.
Salaslams back hand gems and back spots maybe look good in purple(Leaving it's chest green if that still looks cool) to bring it all inline with each other. Or as tyrant offered maybe claws to purple either way it was noticeable on my playthrough enough that I went to the pokedex to confirm I hadn't miss looked at the purple toes.

Hamstar is one of my favorite pokemon in Rikoto, my suggestion is to match Snuffuzz's dark brown coloring to Hamstar's. The brown on Hamstar is very pleasant to me of course this is opinion.
Stickwig's body also seems off coming from Stickit's nice golden orange. Opinions.

Mersidon's trident looks more salad fork esque and maybe could use barbs on each point or something(not sure) this isn't a big deal it just hit me as more fork then trident which is what I assumed you were going for.

Daileo's colors seem off to me, the diamond is alright though I think a more white then blue could be good, the aqua fur coloring is an odd choice to my eyes.

(super opinion here not a very serious suggestion) More pokemon to learn the HM Cut(I somehow end up with whole parties of pokemon and no one can learn it so I carry an hm pokemon and learn to make 5 man teams which is just sad to me though your approach to gyms and number of pokemon makes me smile in my soul) or an Item called Machete(or Axe pick your tool) that allows me to not have to give that move to my pokemon cause I just sigh and shake my head when it is actually required move around in the world it's my least favorite thing.(Seriously this is just a personal thing you can just ignore it as venting)

But I got to say. I've played a lot of fan pokemon games and this one is the one I will be following the closest. I adore Rikoto and you guys are making an amazing game. The mere fact you are taking suggestions is amazing because you guys know what you're doing. Keep up the good work on Trainer placement and the healing Trainers, this is a very noticeable thing in pokemon games to me. This game feels professional to me more ways then one. When a new demo comes out I will be happy to play it from the beginning each time because it really is a fun game and I really enjoy the pokemon of the Rikoto region.

(Forgive any spelling mistakes. It is very late for me and I'm typing before I head to bed)

I would have to agree with pretty much everything Bith said. I definitely agree with possibly giving Terras/Petrovolt an ability through breeding that rids of Defeatist, but gives its a neutral or not entirely beneficial nature. Something situational or low tone is appreciated.

I kinda feel indifferent about the design of Mersidon. I feel the original inspiration to design the trident into a more 'fork' like appearance is because a Merkid is supposed to be, well, a kid, and probably used such imagination when evolving to make his trident. It's supposed to represent the still Kid side of Mersidon, if I can explain it another way, but I can definitely see the trident being tweaked a little to look more trident or stronger like to suit the style of Poseidon/Triton.

Yeah, I was also just teasing the thoughts of palette swapping with the Salatad line, it definitely not like a make or break scenario but it may turn out to be favorable.

[Ingeborg S. Nordén]

If Seagic (one of Guppish's evolutions) is supposed to be a Water/Fairy type, why is it unable to learn even one Fairy-type move? I had expected Seagic to feel like a cross between Vaporeon and Sylveon, or like Azumarill (one of my official-Pokémon favorites). Was it originally meant to be a Water/Psychic type, as the wiki says? If it has changed since then, will the developers please update the movepool to match?

[Ingeborg S. Nordén]

Are you open to ideas for brand-new Fakemon to include in the final version? I can't draw them myself; but I can give you stats, movesets, and a decent verbal description of their appearance. If you would like to see my ideas (either here or in private), please let me know.

[persephone]

could someone tell me what emulator they're using to play this game (i have a macbook) ? i really want to play this game! thank you.
as for a fakemon idea, i know that theres an ice area coming up, i have an idea for an ice type pokemon:

glaceret (or you could come up with a better name xD)
ice/rock type
ability: snow warning (whips up a hailstorm)/solid rock (reduces super effective damage)
moveset:
aurora beam (lvl1)
hail (lvl1)
growl (lvl1)
ice ball (lvl 5)
mist (lvl7)
powder snow (lvl15)
stealth rock (lvl16)
stone edge (lvl 20)
icy wind (lvl25)
power gem (lvl35)
icicle crash (lvl40)
ice beam (lvl55)
diamond storm (lvl60)
leaf blade (lvl75)
earthquake (lvl80)
sheer cold (lvl95)
rock wrecker (lvl97)

[zerobreaker]

Going to start playing soon, may as well throw in some first impressions on the mons

Budsoar: The pokedex mention them as 'like to scare people at night'. I think Unnerve would be a good fit on it, but I'm not sure which ability it can replace.

Stickwig: It kind of bothers me that it has such low Atk compared to its other stats even though there's a huge horn on its head. I think its Atk should at most be barely lower than its Def.

Cirribus: Hurricane is pretty much a perfect fit with it due to Drizzle, but Nimblow learns it at lvl 51, and having to keep it unevolved until that level is pretty bothersome. Not saying this is a must, but can you put Hurricane in Cirribus' relearner part of the learnset?

Legenix: Pokedex says they can cause volcanoes to erupt... when it doesn't get Eruption and Lava Plume.

Wormush: While its stats leans on the offensive side, no matter how I look at it I still think it fits better as a defensive mon. Physically, at least.

Roobeop: It not getting Jump Kick is a bit amusing since High Jump Kick is actually more of a knee strike than a kick. Not saying that HIgh Jump Kick has to go, though, just that Jump Kick should probably be in the learnset too.

Atomotrix: Okay, I like the concept quite a bit, but right now it looks far too much like Voltorb. Not sure why since the prevos don't have that issue, but I'll guess that maybe it's the eyes.

Specstone: Someone correct me in case my (and the wiki's) knowledge is wrong, but its species is Gravestone right? I... don't really see the resemblance.

If any of this came out as hostile, sorry about that, but I definitely didn't mean it. There a quite a lot of good fakemon ideas here, and I look forward to the ones that are coming.
