(Late) Poké At Home Day 2: Regional Variant (Including Pre-evolution and/or Evolution)

**Evolution in next post**

My apologies that this is so late the evolution of this Yamper took awhile to draw and I wasn’t able to include it in this post due to photo issues on Instagram. Anyways this is my Jhotoen Yamper, a regional variant of Yampers from the Jhoto Region. I got the idea one day after playing Pokémon Sword & Shield from an idea on how various Pokémon have regional variants in games from Gen. VII and onward, so what if in regions from previous generations some newer Pokémon had regional variants. Jhotoen Yampers are fire type Pokémon based more on shiba inu rather than regular Yampers who are electric types based off of Welsh corgis. I also drew inspiration from kabuki face paint patterns for the patterns on the face. It seemed appropriate as I wanted to incorporate some traditional Japanese aesthetics and the Jhoto region has multiple references to traditional Japanese culture. These Yamper are commonly loyal to their trainers and are wildly popular in their region just as their Galarian counterparts. They love to entertain others and are often used in traditional theater acts. Their fire tails represent a number of things such as their strength, passion, and will. Their licks are as hot as a hot drink on a cold winter’s day.
