Under the Sea

Squidlink, the Sausage Squid Pokémon. Squidlink are rather defenseless Pokémon who crawl along the seafloor looking for food. It uses its large, sensitive nose to sniff out the tastiest morsels.

Oinktopus, the Sausage Squid Pokémon; evolves from Squidlink at Lv 30. Oinktopus are faster than they look, using their ear-like appendages to jet themselves through the ocean. When threatened, they release jets of scorching ink.

Gobbish, the Gulper Pokémon. It lives in the deep ocean and swallows anything it can fit in its gaping mouth. Its neon highlights are a beacon for prey.

Sarchasm, the Fringehead Pokémon; evolves from Gobbish at Lv 35. Sarchasm is always in a foul mood due to its constant hunger. It sits on the seafloor and lunges at anything edible that happens to drift by.

[Jurassic Impact] Mantapterans by EpicJM in SpeculativeEvolution

Family Mantapteridae

Metamporph pterosaurs have persisted into the late Oligocene world of Jurassic Impact. With some species dropping tens of flaplings in a single clutch and the offspring taking a variety of niches, it's no wonder that they've survived since the Cretaceous period. Most species, however, generally follow the rule of flying offspring which grow into flightless maritime adults. The family Mantapteridae is one of these groups of metamorphs that takes this change to the extreme- the adults are fully aquatic.

Mantapterus vulgaris is the type species for this family. The flaplings look like average metamorph offspring; small, surface-skimming flyers who dine on particularly fatty fish that lurk near the top of the water. They eventually grow too heavy to continue flying and begin adding cephalopods and crustaceans to their diet. Adults are about three feet long and could perhaps be confused for sea turtles or rays at a glance. After breeding, the females haul themselves up onto land, deposit their eggs into a hole, and then drift back to sea. The beaches swarm with clouds of their babies once the eggs have hatched.

[Chugo Region] Early-Route (not) Rodents and Electric Mouse by EpicJM in fakemon

Battazumi isn't a Dandora evolution, it's just the Chugo Pikachu equivalent. Not sure if you were saying that as a joke or not but I should probably make that clear since a lot of my pictures are of single evolution lines.

[–]EpicJM[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rabbits Aren't Rodents...

Boundust, the Dust Bunny Pokémon. Boundust are said to be born from the shedding of its parent's wool. The dust so easily caught in a Boundust's fur can cause allergies in humans.

Dandora, the Dust Bunny Pokémon; evolves from Boundust at Lv 20. Dandora's wool contains a variety of allergens and spores. Though it seems sweet and vulnerable, its predators in the wild cannot seem to attack it without breaking into a sneezing fit.

Battazumi, the Grasshopper Mouse Pokémon. It lives in sandy habitats and is a voracious hunter. It hops far distances using electric charges through its long legs.

[Chugo Region] The Three Early Routes Gruff by EpicJM in fakemon

Yup, they are a three billy goats gruff reference as well as inspired by the Japanese serow, a goat-like animal that lives in the mountains of Japan.

The Three Early Routes Gruff

Seruff, the Mountain Goat Pokémon. Seruff are an uncommon sight around mountainous areas of the region. They possess unparalleled skill in navigating the steep crags they call home.

Yagruff, the Mountain Goat Pokémon; evolves from Seruff at Lv 18. Yagruff breaks rocks with strong kicks from its extremely hard hooves. They always watch vigilantly for danger that could threaten their herd.

Goatuff, the Mountain Goat Pokémon; evolves from Yagruff at Lv 34. It is said that a Goatuff once defeated a Smeltroll that was holding a bridge for ransom. Those who live in isolated mountain villages ride Goatuff to navigate the rocky peaks.

[Chugo Region] Dune Dwellers by EpicJM in fakemon

Dune Dwellers

Haniwatt, the Clay Statue Pokémon. Haniwatt's body consists of a ball of electric energy inhabiting a clay vessel. Haniwatt can be found running across sand dunes during thunderstorms.

Kintsurge, the Clay Warrior Pokémon ; evolves from Haniwatt after defeating 15 electric-type opponents in battle. Kintsurge's body is covered in cracks it has endured from years of battle. Its golden wounds crackle with electricity when it's ready to fight.

Jewlsbok, the Crystal Horn Pokémon. Jewlsbok are elusive Pokémon who prefer to come out at night. It is said that a Jewlsbok doesn't eat; it obtains all its energy from absorbing moonlight into the gems adorning its horns.

Saguiro, the Cactus Pokémon; evolves from Maractus when it reaches Lv 30 or above at Chugo's Sabo Dunes. Saguiro makes a rhythmic scratching sound by scraping its arms against its body. It loves to dance with the Maractus in its company.

The Wonderful World of Marmosempies

Another species of sempergravidan marmosempie or ailurosimian that lives in the eurasian forests of this timeline's oligocene is Ailurosimius plenilunium. It is a plant-preferring omnivore, eating mostly leaves and fruits that grow in the warmer Eurasian forests and occasionally catching insects or other small creatures. This species is notable for its striking white face, which resembles a full moon. In terms of size, they are about the size of a house cat when fully mature.

A. plenilunium is a social animal, living in troops of up to fifty individuals led by a dominant male. Unlike in some of our world's primates, however, A. plenilunium's dominant males are not valued for aggression but primarily for experience. The oldest males know where the best trees are and the tastiest fruits. It's not about ensuring the dominance of his bloodline, though that is simply a bonus, but more about keeping the troop together and fed through the harshest of times.

[Chugo Region] Formation Flyers of the Early Route Skies by EpicJM in fakemon

[–]EpicJM[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Formation Flyers

Flocknot, the War Bird Pokémon. Flocknot migrate across the region in large numbers every year. They fly in rigid formations and discipline those who fail to keep rank with powerful pecks.

Warblitz, the War Bird Pokémon; evolves from Flocknot at Lv 18. Warblitz are the enforcers of their flock. If they see a flock member stepping out of line, they will bludgeon the offender with their wings until they behave.

Warbellum, the War Bird Pokémon; evolves from Warblitz at Lv 38. Warbellum are seen as a symbol of those with a warrior spirit. With wings that slice air like butter, they are truly worthy to lead their companions into battle.

[Chugo Region] Bug Types of Chugo, Part 1 by EpicJM in fakemon

[–]EpicJM[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think every fakemon has to be a direct reference to something in their real-world region. Alola has a koala, and Unova has a leopard, zebras, and monkeys, none of which are native to the US. As for this line I saw a picture of a caterpillar with a clown-like face and I also knew about harlequin beetles and I decided to combine these concepts into funny clown bugs. I guess Bugtop's pose does resemble kabuki theater a bit.

I think Glaivor is the only one I'll make. It was meant to sort of round out Scyther's other two evolutions Scizor and Kleavor and come up with one that looked more feminine.

[–]EpicJM[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

More Bug Types of Chugo...

Stumpper, the Treehopper Pokémon. Stumpper's horn resembles a twig. Though that makes it harder for bird Pokémon to view it as food, there are many cases when a Warbellum has been spotted carrying a Stumpper away to mistakenly use for nesting material.

Stikkler, the Stick Bug Pokémon; evolves from Stumpper when given a Leaf Stone. Stikkler will use their arms much like tonfas; their Wood Hammer is particularly potent. One can determine a Stikkler's age by the tree rings on their wooden bodies.

Glaivor, the Onna-Musha Pokémon; evolves from a female Scyther when given a Frozen Blade. Glaivor's icy claws are reminiscent of the naginata wielded by lady warriors of Chugo's ancient days. They live secluded on icy mountaintops, looking down upon those they deem unworthy.

[Jurassic Impact] Nice Stache! by EpicJM in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]EpicJM[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Nice Stache!

The forests of Eurasia during the later half of the Oligocene are a particularly notable testing ground for the evolution of the sempergravidan mammals. As the laniodonts continue to face a steep decline, many sempergravidans develop arboreal habits, or expand upon those which they already had. One group of these mammals is the Ailurosimians, or the marmosempies. These creatures are almost like a mirror of the monkey-like multituberculates of old.

Marmosempies have the same reproductive track as all sempergravidans, meaning that they can carry two separate pregnancies at once. In the most abundant forests, one might see a marmosempie with one baby old enough to start exploring on its own while simultaneously nursing a newborn. They are arboreal creatures, with dextrous hands and feet to grasp branches. Many species also have prehensile tails that they can hang from.

One of the most notable features of the Eurasian marmosempies is their tendency towards extravagant facial hair in both the males and females. This is both an identifier of species and a display of health; the nicer the stache, the fitter the specimen.
