What if CENTRAL ASIA was a Pokemon Region?

[@amesstarline5482]

I realize the four forms of Motomorph- it's an all-terrain(setting) vehicle- clever!

[@ShadowEclipex]

Looks like their is some alternate fuel sources with a couple of them. Like Plant based oil and electric cars.

[@mcdaviddeservesbetter8]

20:17 Nagabyss 26:15 Skeleneon Two of the greatest fakemon concepts I’ve ever seen.

[@hiddenscorpiusXI]

My imput on some of these designs, and some additions/corrections on certain things: 2:34 Looks like cotton-candy (or fairy-floss) to me. 2:39 It also resembles coccoons, where the bug wraps themselves in silk. 5:54 And also, Lab-rats. 7:36 Chow-chows in real life actually have blue tongues. 8:59 Eyebrows. 13:15 Almost looks like the Gingerbread House, from Hansel & Gretel. A nice tie-in with the fairytale concept. 15:44 Ghouls are a middle-east concept, characterized for being ravenous man-eaters. 16:45 The Chinese Hopping Vampires* are also called "Jiang Shi" All it is missing is the paper-charm hanging from its forehead and keep both legs parallel to each other. 23:34 Also, the Gobi Death Worm, a middle-eastern cryptid. 27:07 To me, it sounds like "egret," rather than regret. 31:24 The air Elemental you're thinking of is the Sylph. 31:53 Also, in alchemic esoterism, the earth elementals are gnomes; it doesn't consider dwarves into its studies. 38:25 Fujin doesn't carry drums. Instead, he holds a long funnel-bag of winds.

[@VanVeniVidiVici]

The heterochromia might just be a simple reference to cats (usually white) with that feature, like the Turkish van cat.

[@apoarttc]

That was the reason for it yeah! This line represents actual Persian cata and also the van cat, and I thought that being an Electric type lend itself well with the eye colors

[@SharkSnoot]

9:50 Furfrou looks like a cross of a Saluki and an Afghan Hound. Both are long legged sighthounds from the Middle East and Central Asia regions. Both dog breeds have long hair on the ears that matches great with Furfrou

[@apoarttc]

It is based on the Afghan hound, yes! Although tbh I should’ve given it some more forms :)

[@sorashirobara5016]

in some asian mythologies, the gates of the underworld are guarded by a black ox and a white horse, so Horsoul and Phantox likely reference them

[@ASCENSiON_]

Not even joking when I say this, Skeleneon is one of the coolest Fakémon that's ever been created, and I would be using it instantly if it was real.

[@lumpypumpkin7983]

Lashop’s tail looks to be inspired by meteor hammers, really cool idea for a fighting type pokemon

[@TheTenzen12]

Pretty sure Homini evolutions are based on Undine, Salamander, Sylph and Gnome. Elemental spirits strongly associated with alchemy.

[@apoarttc]

They are! While Homini is a homunculus, the evolutions are based on the Classic Elementals :)

[@SophiaScragg-hz3mm]

That AND a homunculus is typically made using alchemy! Clever line!

[@ProfOizys]

I haven’t seen anyone else point it out, but zhenaxus isn’t actually a velociraptor (though closely related). It’s probably partially based on Zhenyuanlong, a Dromaeosaurid dinosaur that provided “the first direct evidence for well-developed pennaceous feathers in a non-flying Dromaeosaur” (information via Wikipedia)

[@apoarttc]

Yup! That was the inspiration alongside the Sinoprnithosaurus, also found in China. The Poison type comes from it allegedly having a venomous bite, and the Zhen, a mythical Chinese poisonous bird

[@ProfOizys]

Looking it up I found out that zhenyuanlong is actually named after a representative of the museum (not the zhen) who made arrangements to have the fossil studied there. Having the zhen connection was quite the stroke of genius!

[@emmareiman64]

The Simurgh one makes a lot of sense, considering how the Simurgh is depicted in several different ways with both dog & bird elements

[@DEEENCHIK66]

4:46 its basically not a part of its head its helmet that people use to tame falcons and hawks and make them stay calm Also i think that its dark type because it blind folded

[@apoarttc]

Apofakemon here. Yeah basically it’s a twist on the mask used by falconeers, but here being a Berry. Maybe I could’ve found a different way to portray it but I like it. And it’s a Dark type because of the hunting theme, alongside the blindold

[@Lysiendra]

I‘m sure, the early bug is based on silk moths, which would fit really well to the fairy type (in my opinion).

[@apoarttc]

Apofakemon here, it is mainly based on an species called the mirror moth, and the line represents mirrors in some way (Buglam antennae, Puprime is shaped like a hand mirror, Mirroth’s wings) but instead of going for the material aspect, I went for the beauty and vanity aspects, being also influenced by magic mirrors from Fairy tales, thus the Fairy type. It might not translate súper well maybe

[@nabbitgohome9672]

23:27 Holy shiitake! It’s a Mongolian Death Worm 24:34 I mean if Cetitan (and it’s pre-evolution) can go onto land why not the other whale Pokémon?

[@hansbanza6424]

The cover on the regional bird Pokemon is meant to emulate the head covers for birds of prey that are used in falconry

[@Thatdisasterofaperson]

4:24 i think fairy/bug works, it’s not shields, they are mirrors, hence the name mirroth.

[@Blueartist246]

9:07 Ok thats epic. Agreed gothitelle should've been Part Dark type. I def want this lmao

[@fishpop]

The Grass starter is an Egret, which is a type of bid

[@drkween219]

I'm pretty sure Mirroth line is based on the silk worm life cycle like the silk road and I'm pretty sure it's fairy because luxury items like silk and other fineries tend to be fairy

[@TerrickTerran]

Psychic heavy but I really liked several of the designs. I do agree that Jerboa's legs could have been a little smaller. I know they're leg focused but you can go a little too wild. Love the Baba Yaga pokemon though..very fun.

[@fandomfanboy3743]

The Hungroul is based on the Chinese hungry ghost festival, where deceased spirits who descended to H£ll are given a chance to visit their families in the mortal plain or to just eat after a near eternity of famine

[@gregovaromoreno6318]

In my case my team would be: -The fire starter (not usually a fan of bulky design, I prefer pokemon that look fast, but for some reason love that starter) -Kerochu ooks so goofy, I love it. -The togetic line is amazing. -The mienshao has to get in, I love the line, but I see mienshao as middle evolution, and I have the feeling is more of a special attacker, and I love special attacking fighting type. - Lotusyche looks so fun. -And maybe babygon, but I already have a dragon type. So if anyone have any recomendations glad to read them

[@BottlenoseTheSeaWing]

WHOA! THESE ARE AWESOME!!!!! 1:13 The rhino reminds me of Lulu from Ni Hao Kai-Lan

[@SashedPotato]

A landlocked region sounds very cool. And the caspian and aegian sea would provide water routes too

[@apoarttc]

They are yeah!

[@MOMF615]

Founshun is based off of a Hippocampus, which I'm pretty sure is from Greek mythology

[@apoarttc]

It’s actually meant to be an indistinct creature that represents the concept of the Fountain of Youth, but of course the design reminds of many aquatic creatures such as the hippocampus

[@canaisyoung3601]

0:32 News flash: the American social studies program always fails because they literally only teach us American history. When I was in seventh grade they literally just told us that the French Revolution happened and didn’t list any other factors other than the relevancy of the AMERICAN revolution and that they were outraged. I am confident that I will never learn about the Silk Road (even though I know what it is) just because of the nationalism so deeply engrained in our education system that we are basically being brainwashed by the government. Just ask Gertrude Yorkes! (Also, if you don’t get that, read runaways IMMEDIATELY) sorry for using the comments section to vent but the opportunity presented itself.

[@lethososdonkeypuncher6585]

I dunno why Simasu is named that way, but it's actually a Chimera. Lore kinda points all over the place for it, but it definitely involves a lion and an eagle. Dunno why there's no snake; the artist could have incorporated it as a tail with a cobra-like hood. The Simurg is actually the Babylonian dragon, with wings and forelegs of an eagle, head and scales of a snake, hindquarters of a lion, and a forehead horn like a unicorn. So I definitely don't see that here.

[@apoarttc]

The simurgh is both represented as a winged dog-like creature and as a giant bird, basically a griffin-like creature too, so I wanted to mix both representations. The two-head concept tied in with it representing balance

[@pablesm]

The base MotoMorph should be a steel type. There should also be a Ground type excavator variant.

Plumyisa: FIre/Fairy (Type we don't have yet) Mienshao Dragon/Fighting Form: I'm sure it'll have either a Poison or Steel Move for the 4x Fairy weakness.
