Designing New Legendary Pokemon! | Gnoggin - Kaskade Region

Thanks to Keeps for sponsoring this video!
Let's make a Pokemon game concept! I've decided to get into fakemon creation and design a region based on the Pacific North-West. In this video we are going to go over our ideas for the Box Legionaries and the main Mythical Pokemon. Why they fit the region, how they fit the lore and the gameplay gimmick, how they relate to each other, and the real myths and legends that inspired them. They are Manadza, Arctoyield, Tamunk, Temunk, and Wicoot.

Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out!

One idea I would have for Wicoot is that in all four areas it has hidden "shrines" with puzzles in it that you have to solve and then answer a riddle. For the first three you get a hint where one of the other shrines is, while if you finish the fourth shrine, it will do battle against you as a formality as it will have a catch rate of 100% as it recognizes your wit and determination and thus follows you... For a while.

Its ability would give it a small stat boost every time the weather changed as well as changed type to suit the weather. But the problem is finding an animal thats old as hell with the ability to adapt to anything and not be trash (looking at you cockroches). And another problem would be its original type what would an adapt all type be. This all seems OP so it would be a mythical.

[@cybo_vampire9145]

Considering it were two Chumunk who were blessed, I'd imagine that Temunk and Tamunk have another goal of telling the Chumunk when to hibernate and when to stop. Tamunk would wake the sleeping Chumunks as it brings its springs, and the awakening of the local Chumunk would alert other spring/summer pokemon that it's their time. Temunk would warn the Chumunk of the soon to come winter, and the sudden disappearance of Chumunk would tell the fall/winter pokemon it's their time. While other pokemon migrate, the Chumunk would simply stay where they are, since they are already in every corner of the region, meaning migration would be obsolete.

I love the wiscoot escaping thing, it totally fits coyotes character, half his stories have him brag about something, succeed, and then going, "if you thought that was impressive I'll do it with no paws" and proceed to be stuck in a deadly situation. Which is why he can't escape twice, he stayed in longer to flex on you, and got stuck for real. And as the little tell for people not expecting it, the nickname doesn't appear, (maybe a false pokedex entry saying it's the wisest, with the real saying it's a master trickster prone to overconfidence ). And just to not enrage everyone who tried master ball, it refunds the ball that catches him on the first attempt.

Omg it’s be amazing if the dex is just a bunch of praise and fake stats saying it’s the best. If we get a rotom dex like thing it’s also be hilarious if it said “huh that’s weird. I’ve never seen something as powerful as this. But whatever this is an unknown Pokémon after all.

I’m guessing that there’s two evil teams that are actually rival companies. One runs a summer-related resort or business while the other runs a winter-related resort or business. Both their goals would simply be to capture and imprison the opposite legendary Pokémon to force the other company into bankruptcy. This would cause the region to experience either a blazing drought or a permanent ice age, forcing the player to free the legendary Pokémon form the villain’s HQ. Either this or they just capture the legendary Pokémon that compliments them and force them to stay in one area.

You should add vernal pool Pokemon Almost all vernal pools are located in California. Vernal pools are pools of water that only exist in spring. Since vernal pools only exist during certain seasons the species that live in them change rapidly. They could take different forms like how Castform does. Some examples Coyote thistle This plant starts as a seed, it begins growing in the water of the pool, it continues growing after the pool dries up, and then it dies after a while. Plant Ground in winter, Plant Water in spring, Plant Steel (it's spiky) in summer, Plant Ghost in fall. (I don't know if those are good type mixes, you should change them if you think there is something better) It's move set would be for all four forms, shared between them. Fairy shrimp, an endangered species This species lives mainly as an egg and adult form. Its egg form would be normal type. The main purpose of their eggs is to survive until the pool refills in the spring. Their eggs are very tough and can survive through summer and winter. It should be invulnerable to weather and resistant to fire, water, and ice moves. The main point is that it should be a tank. The drawback is that the egg form would only be able to learn defensive moves. This could allow the trainer though, time to revive or heal other Pokemon while the egg form tanks the damage. Its shrimp form would only appear in spring season, Water Bug. It wouldn't have the same resistances. It should be very quick and have speed based moves, as its life is short and it needs to make the most of it. -Now this is just general ideas- Pacific tree frog These frogs develop faster in warm water because of a temperature sensor in its forehead. So it should have an ability, for all evolutions, to have a greater dodge chance on temperature based moves, they can detect it coming. If it's hot weather, the chance to dodge decreases for hot moves and increases for cold moves and vice versa for cold weather. Because if everything is hot, it's hard to tell when something is getting hotter. There is a native american myth, www.firstpeople.us/FP-Html-Legends/TheDaughterOfTheSun-Cherokee.html It describes the west as the land of the dead. The daughter of the Sun Mother is retrieved from there. When she escapes the box she is brought back in, she is described as a redbird. The Northern Cardinal, also known as the redbird, is unusual in California and mostly appears in California because it was introduced and ESCAPED. It would probably be ghost flying, legendary. Its ability would be that it is impossible to trap. It could be captured but if it faints, it flies away. You get the pokeball back but you lose the Pokemon. Also any moves that trap it would only affect it for 1 attack by the redbird. It wouldn't be affected by the sun and is very weak to poison. (in the myth she was killed by a rattlesnake) It would have a set four moves: Sword's dance, Shadow Sneak, Fly, Confuse Ray It would appear randomly in the southwest region in spring and fall. (She died before the Sun came and was brought back after the Sun came by) Obviously it wouldn't appear if you had it captured while wandering around that area Some other animals to look at, Redwing Blackbird, Anna's Hummingbird, Blue Heron, Great and Snowy Egret, Great Horned Owl, Red Tailed and Red Shouldered Hawk, Bats, Gilbert Skink, Monarch Butterfly, Cattails, the parasitic Butter and Eggs, Cotton Tail and Black Tailed Jackrabbit, Northern Flicker, Moles, Voles, Gophers, King Snakes (immune to snake venom), and Garter Snakes (look up San Francisco garter snake for shiny version). Of course there are many more wonderful flora and fauna that would be great additions to the region.
