imo we just need a ridiculous trait. Maybe like Winter Wither or something that gives the opponent -1 to a random stat and -1 to two random stats if Hail's in effect.

A trait not unlike the trait floating around D/P called "Hard Rock" would be nice for it.
Reduces damage by 33% from SE attacks. Then give it good defense and GG.

And everyone knows they want a Grass Steel.... although I don't know what the hell it would be.... Glaix and I were working on one way back when, sometime before the summer. It was coming along alright, but she had a hard time keeping it from appearing too humanoid (it was some sort of pixie-dryad thing).

LOL. And to think, I was going to start a thread about Frotton and Brotton. You guys must be nocturnal or something Maybe you're all just whensnaksnotonturnal? Anyways I colored them in this morning with brown fur: Frotton BrottonAfter that, I was just about ready to post them on here when I came and saw the wave of posts that had just occured. I see this guy has a future around here (YAY! ONE OF MY IDEAS GOT ACCEPTED!) So, I got PhotoShop back up, quickly changed the colors so here they are: Frotton BrottonAnd when I was thinking about Orochi, maybe if we accept him, we could give him the Multi-Type Ability that Arseus has. Lol. Arseus EDIT: Well, you guys DID start speaking about the Chupacabra, so you only deserve this: HEY CHUPACABRA! Maybe, we could have cryptids like the loch ness monster, bigfoot and others but with a low, looooow, I MEAN LOW! catch rate. EDIT 2: Casmat, silly Casmat, those plot ideas are from many cultures, mainly Japanese and Egyptian. There's a lot of different cultures in there though.

Oops..... didn't notice the Jigoku thing.... that wouldn't work probably, but if it becomes a really popular idea.... I guess it could be put in somehow..... but not as it is now...
Lapras is pretty much already Nessie, being a plesiosaur...

Well, Lapras just does not really fit "Plesiosaur" well enough. Besides, after 65 million years in that lake, Nessie really wouldn't look much like it did in prehistoric times. Oh yeah, Mosasaurs are cool.

I like the idea of a toothed whale and have thought about it for a while. I could easily see a Dolphin That evolved into a Narwhal.
Also on YouTube the other day I saw this video thing on Kiwis and I thought "Why not have a pokemon that's like a play on the name where it's like Grass/Flying even though Kiwis have no wings" It would be like a fruit bird thing. Just putting that out there since aside from that Cherry thing there aren't really any fruit pokemon.

Well.... Tropius is a bannana tree... but a Fruit pokemon would be cool... I dunno though... If we do end up having a Grass Flying, Your going to have to compete with Helicropter.... but if competition is fine with you, go for it...

Frotton sounds too much like frottage imo. Well, I didn't know what frottage meant until 30 seconds ago when I looked it up on Wikipedia, and I'm guessing many others won't know what frottage is. Unless they look up porn, but, you shouldn't do that anyway, so if they know what frottage is then I have two words for them: "Naughty, Naughty!"

Hey, I was wondering, does anyone else think we should finish up golduck's similarities with kappa? like give him an evolution that's have ghost and make him into a brain-vampire duck?
or am I just making stuff up about him being a kappa?
anyway, I've had stuff to do, so I'm going to bring up the narwhal pokemon thread a while later. Sorry.

kappa arnt ghosts. they just like to hide on bushes and prey on lil kids... much like micheal jackson. X'D en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kappa_(mythical_creature)but lets avoid making it evil... shall we? lol ********************* edit: "They feed on these hapless victims by sucking out the mythic shirikodama[1] ball (or entrails, blood, liver, or "life force", depending on the legend) through the anus."WTF?!?! I DIDNT KNOW THIS PART OF THE MYTH?! ACK!! >_< ******************* " They could also be some form of unknown creature that breathed outside of water by carrying water with it in its head." kinda sounds like lotad too in a way... should we mix the 2 somehow? ^_^

ugh, that's creepy. I thought they took the brain out by sawing open the skull. But pulling out life force through there? *shudders*
anyway, on second thought, I don't think we need one, I mean we already have enough new pokemon to develop already, and I don't want to have to work on another one as I'm still having trouble finding the time to finish the narwhal/dolphin/orca evo line.

The Spinarak line is about to get a lot more complicated. Gargantula (Gargantuan + Tarantula) He is Bug/Ground, an alternate evo of Spinarak. I will eventually make a thread detailing his statistics eventually, but he will have a lot of HP and attack. His trait will be... Intimidate. He will have a trapdoor spider sub. The sub's trait will be arena trap. The trapdoor will be more defensive, and will be even slower and more defensive rather than offensive (but not immensely defensive). Ariados will also get a sub. The sub of ariados will also get Intimidate (you'll see why when I edit Ariados' DP sprite to resemble the monstrosity that is the assassin spider). In other news, Ariados will get Bounce (jumping spider qualities) and Spider Web will be getting an upgrade. I'm thinking... the opponent that it traps always goes last (muahaha). I mean... how would you be faster than anything when you are physically immobilized by a spider web? Oh and the original Ariados is the only one who will be able to get Spider Web. It will be taken off of Spinarak's learnset. I'll need a Gantula sprite, and it should be pretty large (a little larger than the DP Ariados sprite). As far as Gantula's movepool... it'll be something along the lines of what Ariados' is, but replacing some attacks with Pin Missile, Spikes, Earthquake, Dig, Body Slam, and Spike Cannon. In case you hadn't guessed by now, all of the spikes on Gantula's body are supposed to represent the urticating hairs used as a defense mechanism by many real life tarantulas. They aren't just there because I thoght they looked cool. Oh yeah, say your praise, your beef, your observations so I know what to fix okay? Oh yeah, SUGGESTIONS! Post suggestions so I can make a thread with a finished concept. Why else would I post it here first?

nicely done, so spinarak is having 4 evolutions? that seems pretty different but I guess since it's the only spider pokemon...

Thanks... well technically, it's two evolutions, each with a sub-species... Ariados A, Ariados B, Gargantula A, Gargantula B... Of course evolving from either Spinarak A or B, who will only differ in color. But you could look at it like that I guess... Spiders are so diverse, and Ariados was lonely... maybe I could do them similar to Tyrogue and the Hitmons and give them a sort of... shared movepool... you know, like how Lee and Chan can get Rapid Spin, Spinarak could get Body Slam as an egg move (Coming from Gargantula A)....

How about we modify Smeargle? Give different colored paint and each different color excels in one stat more so than the others, like red paint signifys that Smeargle excels in Attack. If this idea gets accepted, I call doing the sprites.

Fair enough, although the only version that would see play would be the standard green-tailed speed one.
Learning every move is powerful so we'd have to be very careful about stat inflations.

Oh and Gargantula makes me orgasm can we PLEASE make him hard to obtain ingame but also ridiculously good for a bug/poison type since I actually want to use him and I know if he's a shitty 385 base stat total craphole he's going to suck ass and therefore be ostracized as soon as relatively easy-to-catch level 30 Tentacruels and shit are available.

Well, I wasn't talking about competitor or netbattle, I was talking about for the modified metagame.Every Smeargle color would see use. Complete Smeargle team FTW!

Oh don't worry... Ariados will be geting a slight increase in stats (he probably will be pushed to the UU standards at least). Plus Gargantula is Bug Ground, not Bug Poison... hello High HP + Ground and Fighting Resist. His Trapdoor sub-species will be the better tank (statistically speaking) though, with his normal species [evolves from the normal Spinarak(A)] being a bit more offensive and a bit less defensive, which still works with the STAB Earthqauke and unspecified bug type attack, as well as Intimidate softening the hits... If we do something ridiculous with Spider Web, Ariados might see at least a bit more play... As well as Ariados' own faster, stronger, more fragile Assassin form... I'm just scared I'll break the trapdoor sub-species of Gargantula by making it a tank with Arena Trap... And don't be so sure that every smeargle would see use... I mean, what would you really want to do with, say, special defense Smeargle? Even an attacking smeargle wouldn't be that good because of the sacrificed speed and the low defenses. I'm actually kind of surprised that gamefreak had the insight to make smeargle's best stat speed... And the modified metagame would be on Competitor in the modified server... in-game battles would not make up the metagame at all...

I say that to make it more fair that we make the trapdoor one get a trait that generates arena trap as it's trait only 1/5 per turn, that would make more people want to risk doing hit and run attacks with some mons that they don't want to lose because of their weak hp or defense.

Or maybe rather, the opponent has a (percent) chance to be trapped while this guy is in play? Would 50% be fair?
