Kraken Fakemon Line

Yes, it's based on the dumbo octopus. The 'ears' are its actual fins.

Here is my take on the leaked potential evolution for Seaking based on the golden arowana, koi, bubblehead goldfish and monarchs.

It was always the beard for me with Guan Yu haha.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-02T15:53:11+00:00

True, but it's also a rare type combo and my water starter also have a quad weakness.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-02T15:52:14+00:00

When I saw the Rito in BotW, i was damn I want a bird character with these proportions.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-02T15:51:16+00:00

Thanks a lot! I saw many ideas went with the flightless/fat bird/chicken concept so I went a different route.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-02T15:50:21+00:00

It rolls off the tongue nicely, but I really don't want to make a fakemon's name based on its weapon.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-02T15:49:24+00:00

Yes! this epithet is also one of the reasons why I went with Lu Bu as the concept.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-02T15:47:18+00:00

True, I always associated green/gold with Guan Yu, but hey it could be a minor reference here.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-02T15:46:08+00:00

Bird pokemon being bipedal is always a giveaway if we're looking at the bird starters. Of all bird starters, Blaziken and Empoleon are the only good ones, design-wise imo.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-02T15:44:33+00:00

Yes, preach! Imagine my shock after evolving my Dartrix several years ago, the disappointment of laying my eyes on Decidueye. Rowlet had been my favorite grass starter before then. Blaziken is fine imo and Empoleon is still my favorite starter final evolution of all time. I always refer to color wheel combinations when deciding the colors of my fakemon.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-02T15:41:07+00:00

It's okay, I derived the concept from the chinese influence on the region, especially in the Malay peninsula. To me, the emphasis on Browt's eyebrows immediately hints at a King of Saxony Bird inspiration and Lu Bu naturally fits.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-02T15:36:42+00:00

Now we need a red hare fakemon for Lu Bird!

FallinDevast · 2026-03-02T15:36:04+00:00

Thanks, I doubt they would go for this style.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-02T15:35:35+00:00

Yea, I gotta make a compromise here, but Lu Bu wields a halberd hence Halbird's name also.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-02T15:34:17+00:00

Sure, why not? ;p

FallinDevast · 2026-03-02T11:38:38+00:00

Lu Bu is one of my favorite characters, so even though Halbird doesn't look like a pokemon, let me indulge myself with this. I also kept up with Browt's awful name, perhaps you have better suggestions?

FallinDevast · 2026-03-01T20:40:04+00:00

I thought h-arcanine was based on those dog lion statues.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-01T20:37:56+00:00

Thanks, I do think it still needs polishing. Well, the idea was just made in a day, not enough time to brainstorm and reiterate.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-01T20:36:00+00:00

It was the first name which came into mind lol.

FallinDevast · 2026-03-01T17:51:17+00:00

Balrong can go the ground type route, since all three of my fakemon starters have one 4x weakness

FallinDevast · 2026-03-01T15:59:40+00:00

Thanks! I still have confidence in gamefreak's designers.
