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

**Pre-evolution in last post**

I already explained in my last post but I’m mostly late because I was working on this evolution. I was originally going to do a Jhotoen Boltund, but since the type change was from electric to fire I felt it wouldn’t make any sense to have “Bolt” in the name and have it not be an electric type in any capacity. That said I had decided to do what Pokémon Sword & Shield did and have some regional variants evolve into a new Pokémon entirely. I could’ve had the Jhotoen Yampers not evolve, but I wanted make an evolution to expand on some of the visual aesthetics from the Yamper I did. This Pokémon is Igninu (Ignition + Inu(Japanese for dog)) the loyal pokémon, it’s based on the akita inu and I wanted the design to expand a bit more on the kabuki face paint I used on the Yamper. Igninu evolve from Jhotoen Yamper at level 25, same as Boltund with regular Yamper, but Igninu also requires high friendship with its trainer to evolve. Igninu are fiercely loyal to their trainers and will be by their sides through any challenge. They enjoy entertaining others and are often used in traditional theater acts. The fire on their tails burn to show their physical and/or emotional strength. Igninu are often mistaken to be angered with others, but it is just the naturally formed facial patterns.

(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.
