#regional piplup

[pokemonlunarregion]

Lunar forms of the base starters in the region. However unlike other regions in this one the starters are offered by the main characters mom, who may or may not be more involved in someway in everything than one may think, then she gifts a pokedex claiming to have gotten it from a friend awhile ago but that the main character will probably have more use in it than she will.

The rival is the main character’s sister who gets the other starter with the mom keeping the last remaining starter.

The starters have hardly ever been seen as very few of it or even its evolutions are owned in this region, none that the main character will battle or find out has one.

Top is normal and bottom is shiny. 

Evolutions will be drawn up later. For right now I am starting with the base forms. 

Region: A region of eternal night as scientists created plants that could grow in moonlight, though there is some places that try to create artificial lights for the plants that couldn’t grow in the moonlight. The moon still changing to different fullness percents with times there is no moon visible.

Region name: Lunar region.

Type: Chikorita fire. Fennekin water. Piplup grass.

Ability: Chikorita blaze. Fennekin torrent. Piplup overgrow.

Description: Chikorita is a fire type pokemon that constantly has its fire blazing and if the blaze is low it usually an indication that something is wrong, such as being really sick. This pokemon is able to walk across hot coals and in fact will even enjoy laying on hot coals for a bed if available. It can shot ember like fire balls from its mouth, mostly as a defense mechanism, though is known to not be able to shoot out a full blast of flames. It prefers warm or even hot food over any sort of cold food and will even turn away food that is visibly very wet, which it is believed that this is because took much wetness can harm it due to its internal parts tending to be on the warmer side. It does stick by a trainer that has gained its trust, which can actually be quite easy with this pokemon, and even keep it warm with its flame if the trainer is cold. 

Fennekin is a water type pokemon that is built for colder water temperatures. It has extra fluff in order to keep itself warm during even ice cold swims without any issues. It’s ears are on the larger side and is able to pick up sounds underwater from across the distance of an entire lake. It has a transparent second eyelid that it can shift to cover its eyes to allow it to see underwater without issue. It mostly swims using its paws to paddle around easily, though if it needs to increase its speed then it will spin its tails around like a propeller to shoot itself forward; the speeds it can reach when using its tails is actually measured to be 298KM/H with the fastest Fennekin being clocked in as moving 321KM/H which is a record no other Fennekin has managed to beat... But this Fennekin passed away after living a full life with its beloved trainer so a statue was placed outside of a racetrack stadium in remembrance. It is the most sought after for the record one made, though anyone who owns one is very picky about anyone they breed one for to not make this pokemon just one to push to try to beat a record. It will stick by its trainer though will wander the house also liking its own alone time. It prefers land to water though is able to hold its breath for two hours underwater. It can even float effortlessly usually to relaxingly paddle around the surface for a relaxing small swim. 

Piplup is a grass type pokemon who is known to make its own beds out of leaves it can find. It creates birdhouse like nests for itself with these leaves and only will let its trainer even so much as peek inside. It will also make leaf wraps for other pokemon the trainer owns if that pokemon so much as shivers. It does this as since it cares for its trainer than anything else that the trainer owns or cares about is seen as important to this pokemon. It will even try to defend its trainers home from anyone who steps onto the property line if it feels that person is a threat. It enjoys laying in areas of simulated sunshine especially by a window that it can look outside of at any point without having to get up. Its head leaf will raise three centimeters at most when in strong simulated sunlight. It also really enjoys being lightly watered with anything that matches with the flow of a watering can. 

   Lore: Chikorita in the past was overhunted as its fire power to be drained to warm homes. To the point that in the present there are not very many remain, alternative measures of warming up homes have since been made as technology advanced so these pokemon were no longer hunted for this. Its overhunting became stories to help teach people on how to avoid hunting pokemon to extinction. It is highly protected though a few people have one to teach children about the wrongs of the past to harness its power, by forcing it to spit up fire until it no longer could, thus becoming used more as a program pokemon than a battle pokemon. It is thus seen as not really a threat in a fight and so its power tends to be underestimated whenever it is sent into battle; which isn’t often due to being seen more as a program pokemon. However due to it being overhunted to help warm homes thus caused the belief that if a house went up in flames, from the heating system failing, people would claim that it is because it is the vengeful spirit of the pokemon that were used to make it instead of it being faulty equipment. 

Fennekin used to be believed to not be a water type pokemon when it was first discovered. It used to be believed that reports of its activity in the water were pushed aside as if anyone that claimed it were liars. With any water attacks it can do, mainly bubble beam, were seen as just a move it is able to learn like other pokemon who can learn moves not of its type. A lot of people believed that this pokemon was actually flying until finally its water activities were finally proven to people strongly enough for them to accept it. They used to be only found in colder locations in the past though it become more widespread across the land. Until its numbers went down during a time when low water levels hit across the region for two years, only three and a half years before the eternal night hit the land, where these pokemon were put into basically slavery along with other water type pokemon that don’t need to live in water to cool people down. This caused its numbers to go down a lot as many got neglected to be squeeze money from people to take advantage of the situation at hand. Now it is only owned by those who are more willing to take care of it and are picky about who they send any spare ones from breeding to. It has become seen as a pokemon that should only be owned by those who are willing to go the extra mile to show the care it deserves from the hardship that the species suffered years ago. 

Piplup was first discovered by some adventurers who when they reported their sightings were believed to be mistaking some new plant for a pokemon. It wasn’t until a live specimen was caught that people found out it was real. It is a very cautious pokemon that blends into forest like surroundings easily. It prefers to hide and try to blend in to not be found if it doesn’t trust someone. It is rumored to even have first started life as an icy tundra kind of pokemon that went to look for a place with more food, thus changing into the grass pokemon that is known today, despite that there isn’t any proof of such a theory being true. It became used in the past to create nests for pokemon of those who are willing to pay plenty of money for it. It was thus only owned by those who are business people with money so its numbers remained on the lower side. It is seen as masters of building high quality nests hence its high status in the past, before more options for pokemon to rest in at their own homes became more widespread. Its nests are still sold at high prices as an even more luxurious nest for a pokemon to rest in compared to the past. It is the inspiration behind the designs of pokemon beds that are sold as it is believed to be the best of the best designs. 

Design inspiration: Chikorita: Quilava design, fire type pokemon that have fluff on them, and general fire type pokemon colors.

Fennekin: Tails from Sonic, Vaporeon (it may not seem like it but while doing Fennekin’s design I kept thinking of this pokemon), Buizel line, and Warrior cat fan designs with fluffy neck fur.

Piplup: Chikorita’s leaf on its head, Chikorita’s evolutions with leaves/flower around its neck, and general penguin look.

For all: Good shiny versions of pokemon like shiny pokemon with blue flames or even fan versions of Leafeon shiny version based on autumn colors.

Lunar region is a region that I have thought about making. I will be making more Pokémon and variants for this region.

As requested by somthingstupid247 a coord inspired by Pokemon #393 Piplup

[rouge-the-bat]

this can be because you liked all the starters a lot, or wasnt into any of them for a gen, or whatever other reason.

if you get multiple games in a gen/replay games and choose different starters for each game/playthrough, then you can take into consideration if you had any difficulty deciding who youd have as a starter on your first playthrough.

Pokemon Legends Celebi because talk of the Sinjoh Ruins came up quite a bit. But also ALSO: Pokemon Legends TRILOGY. This photo has been circulating as people begin talks of Gen5 remakes or possibly the fan-named "Pokemon Legends Kyurem." their evidence is seeing our Hisuian starters alongside starters of the same typing.

However, I don't think this is a hint to a Gen5 legends game. Solely because of Oshawot and Snivy.

To say there's a formula would imply repetition. With Arceus being the only Legends game as of writing this, I doubt they'd use Snivy for Ancient Unova.

For the most part, Arceus went with vastly different starters, pulling from a roster we were already familiar with. They even provided our Sinnoh starters which are much more abundant in the wilds of Hisui (def going to be working on that theory later).

Which is why, our little buddy, Piplup, is our first hint at this being a Legends starter. Piplup being present brings me to one theory: Pokemon Legends Johto is all but confirmed.

but what does that have to do with BW remakes or Unova at all. Well the fact that we see 2 unovan starters.

With Arceus, we received a bit of information regarding the Sinjoh Ruins, a place only accessible in the postgame of HGSS.

But wait, what about Tepig? glad you asked because I think this will continue, leading UP to what will be our gen5 remakes...or sequels.

Ladies and gentleman, I'm not only theorizing that with the newest Unova game, we will not only see Black3/White3 but we may also see a THIRD Pokemon Legends game, which somehow ties into the events of B3/W3.

Afterall, Pokemon Legends, while a spin off, is a MAINLINE game.

In fact, I would say as to go a step farther, Pokemon Legends Johto as well as what I believe will be Pokemon Legends Kanto, in which Tepig is our fire Starter and we get to explore Kanto, during the war, and maybe even we invent Porygon.

Also Commander Kamado is confirmed to be from Johto, given how he switches to a Kansai accent when All Mighty Sinnoh begins to wreak havoc.

So like, given how Pokemon LOVES to hint at the next game, seeing as god knows they're already beginning actual development five seconds after starting another game, they would have enough information to instantly confirm what the next game will be.

but also please let it be confirmed that torchic will be a new starter cuz gen 3 is literally my favorite

If you were to make your own pokemon starter trio, what would their unifying theme be?

Well, that will depend on what the region theme would be, or what about the region would stand out.

And atm, I don't really have a particularly region in mind... um, I have thought of a region inspired around Halloween and all things spooky, if doing original starters, I'd vote for a bat, spider, and (black) cat or wolf or hose that'll really play off nightmare. And either they'll all be part ghost or it'll be a ghost, bug, and dark.

I'd also be tempted to be bias and do a trio of some of my favorite animals: snake, shark, fox, horse, or peacock.

But idk what the themes would be. That theme would come down to the region and I don't really have a region in mind.

Starter predictions for Z-A!

Tepig, Piplup and Grookey

I did these on a randomized wheel and started to think what I could change about them,

for emboar, maybe I could change the fire into more fairy like wings,

for rillaboom, I figure it's hair would be made of up piano keys, with a tambourine as a hair tie tieing it's hair up and it would have more of a sophisticated look, with circle sunglasses, fur in the shape of a tuxedo or something.

I don't really know what empolean would be like, maybe electric theme? Like the arms could be kinda like electric swords? But if we are being more realistic it would probably be more pirate themed but everyone's doing that so i don't really want to but kinda hit a block with this one so idk
