I know "Flear" was one of the names for a non-winning flea entry, but would it be possible to suggest it as an alternate name for Flick anyway? Or are you no longer taking name suggestions for it?

Yeah, that’s fine.

I had some free time so I tested spriting and colouring Jerbounce! >u<

Is the blog dead?

No, I just am nearly. Once the week is over I’ll prolly start looking for a second mod. 

(I’m being hyperbolic. I’m not literally nearly dead.)

[latearegion]

For name first: how about Opalight?

[latearegion]

I’m hungry

In other words, this is the last day to submit art for the sushi pokemon contest. 

Go and send something in, before it’s too late!

[latearegion]

For the name first contest: Anglure, Bearoar, and Crushtacean (pronounced like "crustacean").

Contest #192: Name First Pokemon?

(I like how the baby to the far right has just given up hope at the inevitability of the giant words falling and crushing them all.)

Anyway! Just what’s in a name? That’s what we’re going to find out for our next pokemon contest. 

Yep, for this one we’ll be thinking up a name first, and then designing a pokemon around that. So if you have any clever puns or wordplay that you’d like to share, now would be the perfect time. 

What would you like the name of our next pokemon to be?

Your suggestions:

Static

Levitate

Cute Charm

Water Absorb

Volt Absorb

Dry Skin

Damp

Lightningrod

(New Ability) Blindness: This pokemon’s accuracy is halved during the day but doubled at night

Contest #189: Tusquake Pokedex Entry Results

Here we have Tusquake’s pokedex entry:

Female Tusquake look for males with the largest teeth. Males of the species will put on extravagant shows of dental might to win their favor.

“Dental might” is just an absolutely great phrase. We ought to start using it more. 

Anyway, not this fine fellow needs a species name. What should it be categorized as in the pokedex?

I made some fanart of fakemonvevos sushi pokemon! The japanese symbols aren’t real, XD!

Contest #192: Flea Pokemon 1st Form Name

Let’s get back to working on our new dark type flea circus-themed pokemon. You guys seem interested in giving them some new names, so let’s get started on the first form. 

This guy’s working name is Flick. Do you want to keep this, or switch it out for something else? If so, what sort of name would you like?

[latearegion]

In the process of defending against/balancing the other legends it absorbs energy from both and the combined energy solidifies into the physical item that unlocks the alternate form. This item effectively becomes the artificial Pokemon's Will/Soul and it gains the ability to form Judgements on things instead of being perfectly Indifferent when it holds the item.

I say sap sipper for gurgoyles ability

[latearegion]

Also, also

Because I’ve been so flaky lately, I’m going to go and give you another week to send in art for the sushi pokemon contest. Submissions will now close on March 31st!

Go head to the submit page if you have anything ready!

Contest #185: Third Legendary Form Results

Okay, so a quick refresher course since I’ve been away for a while.

The governing legendary pokemon behind the Latea Region represent the concepts of Purity and Corruption. In addition, there is a third legendary pokemon that has been recently created by humans in an attempt to defend against or bring peace to them. This third pokemon is artificial in nature in some way, and lacks a mind or soul--it is therefor effectively outside the scope of both purity and corruption. 

Now, in our most recent poll, you decided that this third legendary will be able to take on a second, stronger form through the use of a unique held item. Some suggestions offered for the basis for this form were that it would represent both purity and corruption at once, or that it would be themed around the concept of judgement. 

So let’s decide the basis for this form change. You can recommend either of the two previously mentioned ideas, or suggest something new if you’d like.

What should our third governing legendary pokemon’s form change be themed around?

Contest #191: Gurgoyle Abilities

I’m alive! (I think?) Anyway, back into the swing of things. 

You’ve established that Gurgoyle over here will have one standard ability and one hidden ability? 

So to start today off, what should it’s standard ability be?

Regular Posts Will Resume Tomorrow!

Sorry about my sudden unexplained absence guys. This is what happens when I get seven essays dumped on me all at once. x___x
