Alright, now hear me out… A bug-type Eeveelution based off on the Venezuelan poodle moth and we shall call it Papilleon (Pappillion (French word for butterfly) + Eon)

I think for this Eeveelution, similar to Leafeon’s old evolution method levelling up near a moss rock, this one would be standing close to the moss stone (at night) using a moonstone. (But would it be on a full moon? The requirement would be such an overkill because of Ursaluna using a Peat Block on a full moon?)… Aww what the heck… Full moon!

Now this regional variant of this Pokémon will be a sad one in my region after watching this nature documentary on YouTube about walruses falling off of cliffs (who can’t find their way home in the arctic and are living on the beaches) even though the videos were faked it did tug on my heartstrings though.

Galarian Golett and Golurk (Steel/Ghost)

Another Pokémon that I wanted was a Galarian Golett and Golurk, you see I was hoping that Pokémon Sword and Shield would give us Armour evolutions to be the gimmick (like Mega Evolutions) instead of Gigantamax because I associated the Galar region with the word ‘Gallant’ so I wanted Pokémon to become knights akin to the Arthurian tales Knights of the round table (I kind of feel robbed).

After seeing an Alolan Vulpix on Pokémon Sun and Moon, I was robbed that I didn’t get a regional variant of Growlithe and Arcanine (Water). I wanted the Growlithe and Arcanine in my region to look like those Merlion statues from Singapore and Newfoundland dogs that are known for water rescue.

I would like to see a Pokédex entry to mention that the Growlithe are protectors of the rivers and lakes to rescue children from unexpected dangers; and Arcanine are the Guardians of the Sea.

The Quaxly evolution that I never had. I want a Duccaneer (Duck + Buccaneer) Where is my pirate duck, you cowards!! 🏴‍☠️

I pretty much fell in love with Quaxly (especially seeing the full art from the Pokémon Trading Card Game: Paldea Evolved) I loved that this starter loves to maintain their hair, keeping it prim and proper. I was a bit put off by Quaquaval at first but it grew on me eventually.

This would be something you can obtain by having save data on Pokémon Scarlet/Violet (when you become the champion of Paldea and Quaxly was your starter), you’ll encounter a trainer who would give you an egg which hatches into a Quaxly (But this Quaxly is different as it has unkempt hair).

I’m kind of leaning towards dubbing this Pokemon Squirerel (Squire + Squirrel) Normal/Grass(?)

I loved the idea of a branch evolution akin to Tyrouge where EV training comes into play (Attack = Hitmonlee and Defence = Hitmonchan). None of the NPCs in any of the Pokémon games never seem to talk about Effort Value training and yet we have a lot of PokéTubers teaching us about it and where to go.

I would like Squirerel to be my Route 1 “rodent”

Grass/Fighting

So I know that a lot of Pokémon fans hate on the elemental monkeys even though I had a bit of a soft spot for Pansage and Simisage in Pokémon Black and White, but I am more open to these 3 monkeys Pansnear, Panpsych and Panstrike and their evolved forms Simisnear, Simipsych and Simistrike I really liked the theme around how we act and react to our own thoughts and actions in other words physically, mentally and emotionally; if I ever had my own Pokemon region, the monkey trio would be my choice as I translate it as Snear being the primative/intrusive side of our thoughts, psych being the reflective/introspective side of our brain and strike as the physical embodiment of our actions.

Cernunnos, a central figure in Celtic mythology, embodies the essence of nature, fertility, and abundance in the ancient Celtic worldview. Revered across Gaulish and Celtic cultures, he is often depicted as a horned deity, symbolizing his connection to the wild and the cycles of life.

The name "Cernunnos" likely derives from Celtic roots, reflecting his association with horns or antlers. However, while archaeological evidence provides rich iconographic representations of Cernunnos, textual references to him are scarce, leaving much of his mythos open to interpretation.

Artifacts such as the famous Gundestrup Cauldron offer glimpses into the significance of Cernunnos. He is often depicted adorned with torcs, holding symbols of abundance like cornucopias or accompanied by animals, suggesting his role as a guardian of wildlife and a provider of prosperity.

Cernunnos's mythology likely intertwined with Celtic rituals and beliefs, influencing practices related to fertility rites, agriculture, and perhaps even the realms of the afterlife. While specifics about his narrative and attributes may vary, his presence in Celtic iconography underscores his importance as a divine figure within the pantheon.

Despite the enigmatic nature of Cernunnos, his enduring symbolism as a deity of nature and fertility speaks to the profound reverence ancient Celts held for the natural world and its mysteries. As such, Cernunnos remains an emblematic figure, embodying the enduring spirit of Celtic spirituality and connection to the land.
