Happy Fakemon Friday! I'm in a real Fakemon mood lately, and have been coming up with ideas for a region based on Colorado. And with it officially being December, I've got ice-types on the brain.
Tubetle and Torboggan are normal/ice type Pokemon. Tubletle gives rides to people and Pokemon with its indented shell. It picks up surprising speed while going downhill. Torboggan work with rangers to ferry injured people down to the base. They're based off of snow tubing and rescue toboggans. Slush Rush would be their primary ability.
Pikachu in this region are ice types, uniquely found early in the game (as Pikachu is in RBY). They're based on the animal pika. They evolve with the Ice Stone into Snowchu, who are based on snowshoe hares. I like how "chu" rhymes with "shoe"! These Pokemon are beloved for their cute appearance and their soft fur. Snowchu's feet let them walk nimbly over ice without breaking the surface. Snowchu would be physical rather than special like Raichu, and learn Triple Axel.
