Goblimon from Digimon
Goblinmon is friend-shaped!
A suggestion for Pokemon fan game makers:
Don't use the name "Pokemon".
That's the one piece of advice I have to start. They can't shut you down if they aren't using their trademark.
So what do we use instead? Well... How about "Goblinmon"?
Consider the following:
-Mortal creatures warped by the energies of Arcadia.
-Captured in ball-cages of iron and holly wood.
-Why children? Until you become an adult, the proper fae are under a geas and can't directly harm you.
-... And there is bad blood after the war, not that anyone but Lieutenant Sur- er- Serge will mention it much...
-Monsters based on old folk tales, urban legends, cryptids, et al.
I think there's something here.
