That was also in consideration since the first time I played the hack rom PKM Glazed, in which koffing and weezing appeared in lava caves, and firebreathers' teams for some reason, so I ended up thinking about some poison/fire evo. But then I realized that a levitating dark/poison had no weaknesses, and I fell in love with the concept for weezing, I think it deserves it. I apply poison/fire to another kind of mon though.

>Poison/Dark >Levitate >No weaknesses >Oh you... I thought of the same typing and ability but for a weezing evolution (guess the name? Smoking! no seriously, I called it smoking), but this idea sounds cool. If just I knew beforehand what insect is this, I might google it though, I think I've heard something like this somewhere.... that could be good for giving and idea of what it would look like. I won't try to draw it or anything though, since it seems to be very personal to you. Hope you get to make that game someday (I also have lots of pokemon ideas, but my desire is not for a game, which I automatically assume it will always be out of my league, but just a complete, decent pokedex of awesome type combos and cool designs, and bad puns of course XD)

Hi, and welcome to the pinnacle of insanity, leave it behind now, good to see it has already started to be drained away, etc. (I seriously like doing the "leave sanity behind" cliche in every introduction thread ^3^) Anyhow, welcome you, have a great time here and enjoy everything as much as you can and wish. This is the land where pokemon-related dreams come true after all.

I like ledian's design (not the abomination that is ledyba, bu ledian is pretty cool), but honestly If I were to make a mega for this thing, I'd make it a bug/fighting. Sure it still has a 4x weakness (flying instead of rock), but at least it would not lose half HP if switched into stealth rock. And its subsequently added new weaknesses, psychic and fairy, I think would be at least somewhat endured if this thing got a huge boost on its already decent spdef stat. What confuses me about ledian is why does it have a puny 35 base attack??! when I first saw this thing I thought it was another bug/fighting like heracross, with a huge attack stat, but it comes it can't even have that. I'd put +30 in attack for this thing, and +40 in both speed and spdef, nerf its spattack by -10 and give it huge power. I know its spattack is higher than its attack, but I cannot look at this thing and see a special attacker, like no way, I cannot relate it to its design. With a now 35+30 attack plus huge power, plus speed and spef, I intend it to be like a bug type azumarill. Give it a deeper, physical-centered movepool, with things like x-scissor, super power, bullet punch, etc. and that's about it, what I would like ledian to have as for a mega. Well that or a regular bug/fighring evo.

Welcome. You'll love it in here. We have great weather the whole year, an unlimited supply of whatever brand of cookie you like the most, and of course, lots of sanity that were left at the front door.

Welcome to hell, enjoy your stay, leave your sanity behind, you'll never be able to leave even if you want to, all our souls are trapped in here forever, bla bla blah... Well, obligatory introduction-protocol aside, welcome, I hope you have a great time around these lands. By your introduction alone, you seem to me like the closest thing we've got yet to a real-life version of Terra, all filled with energy and randomness. If that is the case, it means you're 100% fit for survival here XD. Also, you are a chemist, great, I aspire to be a biologist some day (that making us mortal enemies science-people-buddies-something!), so most chemistry related stuff is welcome in my book (except tests -.-). Also, you say one of your favorite types is ghost. YOU.HAVE.GOOD.TASTE.MY.NON.BINARY.FELLA. Kudos for ghost-love +1

Could this be... a new idea, perhaps? I'd actually enjoy drawing a rock/electric raptor pokemon (velocirrock? stratoraptor? nah too similar to staraptor...), but I'll have to start studying again tomorrow (last exam of the first period YAY!) and I don't really think I can come up with it, since my previous attempts to draw a velociraptor pokemon have been... quite amusingly terrible.

Hmm, well that's a good point you got there, but still, becoming the fire god once doesn't really justify (to me) a fire/rock typing. Anyway, while I do admit that a rock/normal might be a unimaginative choice on my part, I think is not as bad of a combo, since while it has that annoying 4x weakness to fighting, with sap sipper/water absorb at least one of it's most important special weaknesses becomes obsolete. Even with other 2 weaknesses, both of which are mostly physical, a giant sloth pokemon should have incredible bulk with lots of HP and Def. Besides, by the same logic of making it rock/fire because he became the "fire god" once, I could make him rock/water since Sid taught Diego how to swim and he's a great swimmer himself, but nah, I preffer just giving him water absorb. Still, I must admit that simple could be an actually very good ability, specially if this thing is slow but with high attack; a swords dance + return/stone edge/earthquake kills more things.

You mean Sid as in, a giant sloth, a megatherium? That would be cool but in all honestly if it depended on me, a giant sloth pokemon would be rock/normal with the abilities sap sipper, water absorb and as hidden ability, huge power. Dunno why just, that's how I'd do it.

These are the mons that are supposed to be based on a saber-tooth. I guess I could have drawn the face a bit more feline, but then again I based it on the first result of google images for "saber tooth tiger". A rock/electric I would do something based on a velociraptor (for the speed) or maybe a dimetrodon or spinosaurus, like, as if the veil on their back was to take profit of solar power and they charged and generated electricity with it.

Purrlite (Armor Pokémon) Ability: Battle Armor - Weak Armor ((HA: Sheer Force)) Stats: HP 80 ; Att 80 ; Def 80 ; SpAtt 20 ; SpDef 60 ; Spe 25 (Base Total: 345) Unnamed evolution (Armor Pokémon) Ability: Battle Armor - Guts ((HA: Sheer Force)) Stats: HP 120 ; Att 120 ; Def 120 ; SpAtt 35 ; SpDef 85 ; Spe 50 (Baste Total: 530) I don't really know if 530 is too much for a fossil pokemon, but then again is below pseudo-legendaries' 600, so I don't know...

Purrlite sounds cool , but these are not my mons, I can't name them, that's SilverJakler's choice. And tungsten.... tungsaber? tigersten? It sounds like a surname, I am terrible at puns XD

The thing with the huge shiny eyes is that since I'm left-handed I accidentally left an ink spot in the place where the right eye was supposed to be, and then I tried to fix it by making dem big ol' eyes XD I think they're cute, but yeah I made them a big too big on my attempt to hide the misplaced ink. I don't have names for them, neither do I have stats, abilities or even the level at which it is supposed to evolve. These mons are based on Silver Jakler's concept, so he'll know those things for sure.

Yo Silver Jakler, here's my attempt at your rock/fighting fossil pokemon. Tell me what you think of it.

I don't really care about natures, IVs and EVs existance. When I started playing Reborn, my first pokemon game ever, I didn't know those three things even existed, neither did I know what they did (It took me several months to understand just what IVs were, let along EVs and natures). To me, the only real impotance of a nature in a pokemon game is to tell me my pokemon's personality (I play for the fun and the adventure, so I enjoy having teammates with brave, impish, timid, etc. personalities, absolutely regardless of what stats those might raise or lower). As for IVs, I just see them as what they supposedly are, my pokemon's genes. If my Gardevoir has 29 IVs in attack and 6 IVs in special attack, that's cool, is MY Gardevoir, there might be others stronger than her and I could even have just released it and catch another one (well not in reborn but in other games), but that 29-6 makes her unique. The same for the rest of my team. Even if they're not superior to others of their kind in therms of statistics, that doesn't matter to me. Something that never crosses my mind in-game, is to put my teammates to fuck with a Ditto until they have an offspring that is genetically stronger than them so that I can toss the parent away and use the child. I don't care how other people play and I respect breeders (specially since you can get certain moves and stuff only by doing it), but to me it just goes against what the game is supposed to teach me. And EVs, well, they always end fucked up and shared among all the stats (battling the same pokemon over and over for just one stat to raise is a pain), and you know what? there goes another thing that makes my pokemon unique. I care more for the ability than for any of these things, and for that there's the ability capsule. Also, since when I play competitive I always do it on the showdown thing, and all IVs are always 31 by default, is almost as they weren't there (except if you want some trick room team or a gyro ball ferrothorn or something); no one would decrease the IVs of a competitive team under 31 unless it has a strategic purpose. If I were ever went to play a wifi battle, take for sure I wouldn't waste my time breeding for killing machines. That mass production I just find gross. And that's also why I would never win a wifi battle (probably...), but I ain't got time for that. IVs, EVs and natures shouldn't necessarily go away by any mean, they add diversity to the creatures we know as pokémon, is just people who shouldn't be so ray cry cry 'bout them.

Hmm, I see where you come from. An interesting point of view, and while I somewhat agree with what you said about the concept mutating into "making a pokemon broken for the heck of it", I still think megas aren't exactly losing the spirit of a mega, is just that Gamefreak's decisions on the pokemon who receive a mega that sort of bug me. For example, I personally dislike the fact that they gave metagross, garchomp, rayquaza, mewtwo, etc. a mega (mewtwo even has two...). I like the megas themselves in terms of design, but what I don't like is that they took some of the already most powerful pokemon and made them so overpowered that you can hardly counter them in competitive. Whenever I decide to play just for fun with a team that has no specific counters for these threats, I always find a team that has a mega powerhouse (lucky me -.-), and all I can do is just watch the opponent sweeping my team with one single mega. Even given how terribly bad I am at competitive, I can still enjoy losing to another person when they use strategies that make me say "woah" or have incredibly well-thought teams, but when they 6-0KO me because they had a mega-evolved powerhouse, well, I just find that kind of match boring. And when it is me who gets to use one of these goddamn powerhouses, I find it boring to 6-0 KO the opponent's team. A Vivillon sweep? I take it. A mega-rayquayquay sweep? Meh. That's my opinion on the competitive side at least. However, if I love the concept of mega evolution is for one reason and one reason only: it seems to be the only way now for pokemon that were seemingly abandoned by gamefreak to receive some love, given that trans-generational evolutions (like gliscor, weavile, froslass, dusknoir, etc.) aren't happening anymore for some reason. The best example, Audino. No one likes Audino (I love it but that's besides the point). The thing is, the mega is not overpowered by any mean, and it won't make people start loving it, but at least the fact that a mega audino exists shows that Gamefreak cares about that pokemon. That's all I need, to know that it isn't abandoned into oblivion. If things like Leavanny, Dunsparce, Flygon, Spinda, etc. received megas that would be great just for the fact that it shows that they're not forgotten. That's the reason why I love things like Mega Bedrill and Mega Pidgeot. No one used them, and Bedrill was specially forgotten, but now? It gets some love in the form of what I think it is one of the best mega evolutions design-wise. I prefer regular evolutions a hundred times, but if mega evolution is the way to go now, and it's the only way some of my favourites receive some love, then I'll take it.

Why is that? Now I'm wondering how many votes would that option gather if there were to be included.

Mega Mawile, Mega Audino, Mega Banette, Mega Absol and Mega Lopunny. These 5 mons needed the boost of either the second type they win, their new abilities or their new stats (or all three things together). Plus I love their designs: Mawile is a piranha plant, audino is a magical girl, banette is the doll of the devil, absol is a friggin angel of death and lopunny looks like cammy from street fighter. Genius. Honorable mention of Mega Tyranitar, Mega Gengar, Mega Alakazam and Mega Medicham.

So what you're saying is, that if I give this thing an all attacking moveset and mega evolve it (and assuming his attack will go to 200 or even more), no matter it doesn't obey my comand since it will always use an attacking move regardless of what he choses on its own and destroy utterly everything, or will his mega form include the option of "mega slaking is loaffing around"?
