Anyway i just found out i can draw ponies and these are my victims
Ghetsis’ cutiemark is a chess king, since, similar to one, he is pretty much powerless himself yet uses everything and everyone that surround him in order to get his way, like what he does to N and pokemon
N’s on the other hand is a figure, resembling both an angel as a symbol of innocence and a pawn that he unknowingly was for a very long time. It has a little crown
2023 concept for a latios/latias pre evo i still like. it's just a babey

Pokemon has never had a generation where all three starter pokemon are mammals. Two generations- gens 1 and 3- have had zero mammals, and from gens 5-8 there've been two mammals to pick from, but none have had three mammals. I think this is an important part of the franchise's brand.
Back when gen 8 got leaked someone pointed out that you can generally tell a real GameFreak Pokedex from a fakemon dex by the amount of "ugly" pokemon and the number of invertebrates and inanimate objects, and I think there's a similar thing going on here- Pokemon genuinely makes an effort to make its monsters varied.
The last 15ish years have seen so much ink spilled on the Vanillish line, on gen 1 designs, etc etc, but I think it bears repeating how easy it is for a Mons game to stick to charismatic animals like mammals and birds and dinosaurs and pets. And pokemon does have that (we have, what, six cat lines? more if you count regional meowths) but it also makes sure to add, like. A crinoid. A bagworm. A bell. Creepy humanoid mushrooms, a sand castle, a big iceberg.
Something would be lost if every single pokemon was as cool as Haxorus or as cute as Snom or as furrybait as Goodra. Pokemon succeeds because it lets you be best friends with shit that's just weird.
"ohhh op is telling on herself for calling goodra furrybait" idk maybe you're telling on yourself for how you have no furry friends. do better.
You know what??? I think Pokémon really went off with the category of designs that's just "looking like a human woman in a dress". I know people are horny for some of these designs but I must stress I care a 0 amount about that. It's not my motivation, nor does knowing about it ruin these designs for me. I just like them. Just look at these.
This is peak.
the craziest beta 'mon is this guy, who would evolve into a random Pokemon upon evolution
like imagine finding this autism creature fighting for its life out in the wild so you catch it out of pity and two months later it evolves into goddamn Rayquaza
fucking creamthing
when ur pokemon is paralyzed and confused but their attack still hits
Pokemon Heritage Post
Pokemon fans be like "I wish we had darker games" then can't handle basic folktale tropes and concepts
typhlosion fans reading the leaked pkmn mythos doc, realizing that their fave is going to become an unfortunate punchline in the pokemon community that absolutely no one will let go of for the rest of eternity because no one can seperate unused mythos from canon or understand mythos as mythos
*about to combust* the leaked pokemon mythology is, first of all, leaked so therefore they chose not to use it. Second of all everyone freaking out over the human and pokemon relations… it’s literally written like irl myths. They’re states to be ‘from a time when human and pokemon didn’t have clear lines’ and stuff. It sounds like stuff you read in any folklore or mythology class. I think it’s good worldbuilding in that sense but people seem like they’re taking it seriously.

Evolotto looked real familiar…
It leaked that the game freak devs working on Pokemon X and Y put born this way by Lady Gaga in the game code to test the audio and it's fucking killing me 💀 like I knew they were Gaga stans bc Elesa's design is inspired by her but this is so funny
A ton of cut content and other things that were planned:
- The Pokémon Village was originally planned to be a town entirely populated by Ditto disguising as human, and you would even find disguised versions of characters of the game. (They kind of reused this for USUM. There was a Ditto sidequest from what I recall where there were some Ditto disguised as humans, and it even implied that one of the police officers you were helping was a talking Ditto that could perfectly disguise itself.)
- A make your own Gym feature that could be shared online for other players to challenge and conquer.
- A quick hatching facility for Eggs.
- A fourth Mythical codename "Tettou" that was Steel/Electric.
- Soaring was originally planned for X/Y (implemented in ORAS instead). That's why Sky Battles existed in the first place, and that's originally how we were supposed to find the Legendary Birds
- Released Pokémon Evolution, once you freed a Pokémon in the wild, there's a chance it could come back having Evolved.
- There was also a planned bonus to have unevolved Pokemon: raising your Pokémon without evolving them would bring an extra STAB Bonus (1.5 > 2) and Stats Boost at +30Lv after whatever level the species normally evolves at.
- Your friend, likely Calem/Serena based on initial choice, was a Pokémon turned human which would later revealed in the gameplay.
- Mysterious Space location where you can battle a reflection of yourself with an Identical Team.
- Rhyhorn Race Minigame was planned in depth with a bunch of idea, they wanted to recreate the classic Mario Kart vibes using Pokémon Moves:
