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
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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".
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.

I got some inspiration to draw pokemon based on type combinations that havent yet been used in the games.
My first idea was this regional variant of a Sandshrew.
Based on the pink fairy armadillo.

Could you draw a Pokémon based on the Lusca (a creature in Caribbean mythology)?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(in order:)
Name: Luscling (Little Shark Pokemon) Type: Water  Height: 0.95m Weight: 9.1kg Description: It is curious by nature and attracted to movement in the water nearby. It will gently touch and grab things with its tentacles. It likes to carry small objects and will swim alongside people and Pokemon.
Name: Luscuron (Walking Shark Pokemon) Type: Water/Dragon Height: 1.5m Weight: 27.2kg Description: This Pokemon uses its long tentacles to travel out of the water for short periods of time in order to find food. It often seeks out tough objects to chew on in order to strengthen its jaws.
Name: Lusctruo (Squid Shark Pokemon) Type: Water/Dragon Height: 1.9m Weight: 40.8kg Description: It makes its home in deep-sea trenches. Should a boat pass over its territory, it will attempt to grab it or punch it with its powerful tentacles. When not defending its territory, it has a docile and peaceful nature.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've never heard of a lusca before, so I don't have any background with it, and I've also never designed a Pokémon before. I ended up having way too much fun with it, and now there's a whole line with little dex entries.
Probably the most fun request I've ever gotten

Have you seen this cactus? Now you have! Barrelcotta is a fakemon I made under some randomly selected traits my roommate decided for me. It's a grass/water type. Barrelcotta launch themselves around with pressurized jets of water stored in their pots. They are surprisingly nimble.
(ID: A round, sage green cactus with long chunky arms and fingers sitting in a terracotta pot. It has two tiny dot eyes and a large smiling mouth like a happy jack-o-lantern. It has pink spikes on its arms and as its nose, as well as a pink crown. Water spouts from its head as well as from the bottom of its pot, suspending it in the air.)

Flying/poison ‘mon based on some turkey vultures I’ve seen in the fields next to my house. Brave and curious Murkrow will often follow and bully the much larger Turkarrion.
