Previous thread: >>57756102

I have 3 Pokemon to submit (2 are the same evo line.

>>57874047
I'll reopen submissions in a 2-3 days, just wanted to gauge how many mons people feel they would need in the poal. Just write you submission out in notepad and save it for now.

>>57874066
Ok, it's a Brown/Cheese and a Mineral/Gun since those typings seemed to not have too many.

Has there been a lot of rejections?

>>57874128
Only 1 mon has been rejected

>>57874135
Actually there were probably a handful more, but those submissions usually were the submitter just posting a sprite without any other info that the submission template asked for

>>57874135
Imagine being the only guy cringe enough to get rejected. Haha, it would suck to be that guy.

>>57874135
What got rejected lol? We've got a Pokemon that's just a compressed PNG of an elephant and another that looks like a dog's penis.

>>57874170
>>57568862

>>57874176
lmao

>>57874027 (OP)
Nice to see a new thread, I was actually thinking about this earlier today. I do feel like the dex might lack Pokémon that you could encounter while fishing or surfing - there's tadpu, pish, singel and screwdra diver (this thing is so overtunned btw what the fuck), maybe a few more would be good?

>>57874027 (OP)
Some sugestion regarding already submited moves and abilities
>Vacation
In paper healing near 2/3 of heal and switching might sound OP, but then buiness types are practically a glass cannon type due to its resistence/weakness imbalance, just like the ice type. So it might be interesting if it is somehow a TM but it only heals 1/3 in non-business types instead (so its similar to regenerator).
Other option is making it heal proportional to the turns the pokemon remained in combat, but that could be a pain in the ass to program and I have already described business types as glass-cannon.
>Sleed deprived
It is weird it doesn't have a effect on the sleep status. It could be interesting that if the pokemon sleeps, it could lose its ability and turn into someyhing like "slept on the job" that does nothing. It could make having "cup of joe" in the moveset an important factor on the pokemon.

Which types still need a Normee evo?

How many Pokemon are we at for each type now?

New item: Pride and Satisfaction
Vendor trash that generates in your inventory if Lootbox fails for any reason
Sells for $1

>skeleboner misspelled as skleboner in sheet
i think that typo should be fixed before it gets added to PBS data

>>57874791
I don't know if people want to do every type or not. The ones done are Strange, Business, Gas, Clown and Food.

>>57874852
Total Mons: 158
Vanilla: 24 (15.19%)
Strange: 19 (12.03%)
Monster: 19 (12.03%)
Biotic: 17 (10.76%)
Health: 16 (10.13%)
Food: 15 (9.49%)
Sexy: 15 (9.49%)
Mineral: 14 (8.86%)
Clown: 14 (8.86%)
Gas: 14 (8.86%)
Business: 14 (8.86%)
Gun: 13 (8.23%)
Spicy: 13 (8.23%)
Brown: 12 (7.59%)
Cheese: 12 (7.59%)
Sport: 12 (7.59%)
Dance: 12 (7.59%)

Mouse Traps: Cheese status move, 20PP. The user tosses traps with delicious cheese bait at the opponent. The traps activate when a Pokemon switches in and inflict slowed to it (Works even on non-grounded, I'm assuming slowed is one of those status that goes away after switching).
Cheese types are immune to the hazard and absorb it (like poison types and toxic spikes).
Learnt by: Definitely Not Pikachu, P-Cheese, Shrewda, Pikatat

Pick Clean: Food status move, 40PP. The user goes into a feeding frenzy and devours all the hazards on both sides of the terrain. Either heals them 10% of their max health for each hazard cleared or a flat 25% if any hazard is cleared if the former is too complicated to implement.
Learnt by: Gorgeon, Bovore, Smoghog, Squeelqueen, Pikatat, Politpumo, Assmaw, Beefkek, Happihell, Pokrecaball. Could be a TM perhaps?

I'd also like to propose that Pepper Flakes get absorbed by spicy types just like Mouse Traps do with cheese

Cheerwill could use an evo or two to give us more Sport and Dance mons.

>>57875439
>Mouse Traps: sticky web but even stronger
No

>>57875682
There's already way stronger stuff in the game lmao

Though if we really think it's too strong I guess it could deal a def drop on switch in, so it's basically physical pepper flakes. I thought about making it like spike but since we already got 2 stealth rocks I figured it might be overkilled to have a third hazard that deals damage

>>57874791
I had some ideas i was going to do, namely Armeon (eevee with a vietnam war esque uniform and helmet) for Gun type

>>57875732
Armeon, the Fullmetal Jacket Pokemon
Due to Normee's highly adaptive nature, someone, somewhere realised it could be evolved for use in war.

Evo method: Give Normee a Gun-related item

>>57875827
Stats still needed. Anyone is welcome to add them.

>>57874128
There was this submission for a member of the Elite Four >>57786702 and this proposal for the stats of Faceof and Slapstik >>57786459
None of them made it to the Main Doc yet, so they might have been rejected or gone unnoticed.

https://archive.palanq.win/vp/thread/57756102/

>>57875827
oh yeah do you have a dex entry for Gorgeon?

>>57876187
i forgot to update the trainer doc and updates those stats. Still needs an evo method and ability

>>57875439
Keep in mind, there is a move called "Mousetrap" that already exists.

>>57876225
Ah shoot, don't mind that move then

Can you make a Pokémon with no type?

>>57876334
You could make a Pokémon with an ability that makes it so that it takes and gives neutral damage to all types.

>>57876334
yes

>>57876225
>evo method

>>57875827
65 HP
130 ATK
110 DEF
60 SPA
95 SPD
65 SPE
Abilities: Flashback (Gun type moves have a 25% chance to target every pokemon on the field instead of just the selected target), More Dakka

>>57876225
Let me try
Gorgeon, the Overeating Pokemon
Due to depression, overeating and lack of movement some Normees gain so much weight that they evolve into Gorgeon. Either that, or their trainers stuff them with food.
>>57876718
Now we need a move list
Could be something simple, like all Gun moves and a little extra

>>57874027 (OP)
Hey OP, you listed Bee Gun as a physical move instead of a special one
... Though that being said since Gunaprey is also a spicy/gun special attacker, would you mind flipping Stingops' attack and special attack and keeping the move physical? So they have different roles. I think the rest of its moveset doesn't need any modification otherwise
>>57874540
I just wanted to add some unaware-like ability to the game since it's a stapple imo. It could loose the unaware effect while the user is asleep and restore health instead (like leftovers) to make it a little more interesting.

I'd also be down to give sleep deprived as a hidden ability to Schbeezoid (it's a scheezo so it always stays up, Would first be Masochistic on Sadorm) and Herobrick (Jack-Crack and Minecrack being crack-heads and mobs in minecraft preventing you from sleeping, whole 3 stages would get it), if their creators don't mind

>>57876782
Every gun move except for Bee Gun, Super Soaker, Plasma Burst, Ion Cannon, Tongue Lasso (Why is this Gun type anyway?), Poaching, Blitzkampf, and 360 Noscope. Also gets Chain Reaction, Haymaker, Pills, Pray To God, Strange Infection, Night Terrors, and any Vanilla type moves that you may think fit, but especially Stab.

Boogieon, the Disco Pokemon
This hip cat evolves from a Normeon when that funky groove enters its soul, you dig?
HP: 110
ATK: 60
DEF: 65
SPA: 95
SPD: 130
SPE: 65
Abilities: Get In The Groove (Using the same Dance type attack for multiple turns in a row boosts this pokemon's speed. Using another move will reset this pokemon's speed back to neutral.), Catchy Rhythm.
Movepool is every Dance move plus whatever Vanilla type moves you think fit and Brightly Colored Pills

>>57876959
Personally, I'd prefer if the other anon who made all of the other Normeevolutions did the rest of them for stylistic consistency. Also because that design is horrible.

>>57876975
don't wanna be rude but kinda seconding this

If anything it'd be nice if Volvomander got a couple evos, since the person who made it wanted it to be a sort of Eevee as well. Types that aren't shared by the Normeelutions ofc. Might make one tomorrow

>>57874027 (OP)
Some party sprites for Imptern line:
Imptern:
https://files.catbox.moe/64f2zk.png
Clerkvil (M):
https://files.catbox.moe/hpdcx6.png
Clerkvil (F):
https://files.catbox.moe/4liqpy.png

Does the engine used for the fangame supports party icons with gender differences?

>>57876975
>>57876996
Soulless ghouls, the both of you. Boogieon is a top 5 design in this dex and I won't hear otherwise.

Since we're getting close to filling up the dex, what all do we need for important boss trainers? Are we going with the classic Pokemon League format of 8 gyms, 4 elite, and a champ, plus rivals and evil teams? Are there any shakeups to the formula? I remember someone suggested the professor also be a rival, which sounds interesting.

>>57876887
Seconding this

>>57876975
The designs aren't *that* consistent. The only consistent thing between them is that their sprite sizes are 100x100 and they have 2 pixel wide lines.

>>57877095
>>57877087
Maybe Normeeanon can come up with something and we can vote on which is better, then.

>>57877099
i dig the theme and everything else about it otherwise, but like the sprite is way too massive. Won't it look fucked scaled down?

>>57876959
>>57877087
>>57876975
Normeeanon here.
I tried.

>>57877196
Forgot pic.
Anyways, whoever can make a poll, go ahead.

>>57877203
lol at the wide pants and fish in his shoes

>>57877203
It's peak

>>57877203
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6LOWKVq5sQ

>>57877208
Pish
>>57877210
I tried to keep all the elements from the original design

>>57877203
Here's another idea
Keep both designs, but make the original the Shiny version

>>57877203
you cooked
>>57877220
i like that idea

>>57877203
>>57877214
Evolution method: level up with 2 pishs on your team

>>57877237
I think Armeon is my best one so far, this one is more or less forced
Gorgeon and Normee are uninspired with bland designs, Strangevee, Patreon and Jolleon are a bit better and look somewhat presentable along with Armeon. Boogieon turned out as a mishmash of clashing design and color choices.

>>57877258
>Normee has a bland design

Almost like that's the point.

>>57877258
And Heleon is the author's barely disguised fetish, so it gets full shading

>>57877262
It's not bland in a good way. I think the original Eevee and even Banaliz did that much better. Normee looks... awkward. Not good (in a minimalistic way). And i don't know how i could make it better.

>>57877263
I think that's the joke, that it's something an inflation fetishist would design. It's not disguised at all.

>>57877270
His name is literally Normee. Him looking awkwardly bland is certainly intentional. I don't know why you're taking jokemons so seriously.

>>57877278
I'm the artist, criticizing myself. Though yeah, i should stop. These are low effort submissions for a game named FODQ.
>>57877271
You cracked it

>>57877258
I dig all your designs desu, I think Gorgeon's the only one that's maybe a little too generic alongside Normee but it's a first stage that's blatantly an Eevee clone so whatever. Boogieon looks fucking dope I won't let you say that

>>57874027 (OP)
I made menu icons for the normees (I'm not Normee anon, I'm Imptern anon).
I don't exactly know what is supposed to be in the second frame so I just changed the sprite position.

https://files.catbox.moe/pffi69.png
https://files.catbox.moe/u59ofi.png
https://files.catbox.moe/m3uznz.png

>>57877289
>>57877270
Well I disagree. I think Normee looks like the default Mii, which is to say, a blank slate that has no soul. That's what's funny about it--it's like Eevee but purposely made even more bland.

New ability suggestion
Creep: User only takes damage from Special attacks but can't deal any Special damage

>>57877319
That sounds incredibly broken but I guess it depends on which Pokémon gets it

>>57877312
Well... You redrew them in a slightly smaller resolution and made them all look wonky
It's fitting, if anything
Heleon actually looks good though

>>57877312
>>57877325
And now you have Armeon and Boogieon left

>>57877312
second frames are so that they move, they're optional here. Just make the 2 frames the same, as the game already moves em up and down.

https://files.catbox.moe/emhlf8.gif

>>57877327
The thing that sells Heleon here is the wide, toy-like eyes.

>>57877333
Sorry for wasting thread space, but i'd give him these eyes if i originally drew him in a different pose. The original is just wide-eyed from surprise.

>>57877342
The original sprite also doesn't have a nose but it's not like it doesn't fit

>>57877327
For the moment I will just work in mons that are already in the docs.
As for Boogieon >>57876959
I don't think the design should be discarded like other anon sugegsted (as the whole point of this thread is that anyone can submit a mon if they want), but maybe normee anon could make a sprite of it consistent with the other evos.

>>57877353
He did: >>57877203

>>57877355
Oh I didn't notice it, thank you for pointing it out

>>57877333
I don't have an inflation fetish, but if I did I'd find this guy very cute.

>>57877328
Ok, maybe I revisit the sprites I already done to add an animation if I feel like it.
>>57877325
Some sprites are already so small they fit in the party sprite template. Other are so small you only have to downscale them and fix the sprite. Here is Discargo and Happihell as reference
https://files.catbox.moe/la6ouo.png
https://files.catbox.moe/ji8pgk.png
However some are so big and downscaling them make them look off, so it is better to make a new mini sprite taking the original as reference.
Maybe some of the normeevos coul fit the second group but I made them from scratch to practice a little of spritework. Maybe I somehow end misrepresenting a little the idea behind of the original submiter
Also:

>stat spread
literally my mom's flareon if it didn't die to stray physical attacks

Some are just downscaled and retouched sprites, but I tried to add animations in some.

no one has submitted anything similar

>>57878793

here's a box icon that can be used as a template, if anyone needs more I can zip all of them as well

>>57877722
Animated GIFs do work as battle sprites surprisingly. Found out from Nyansen
https://files.catbox.moe/d6m1ar.gif

>>57878883
same poster here
also just realized that even route 1 rodents aren't safe from powercreep

Anyways decided to follow through on that idea of giving it stats taken from the averages of all route 1 rodents (Rattata/Sentret/Zigzagoon/Bidoof/Patrat/Bunnelby/Yungoos/Skwovet/Lechonk)

Might as well also break the "mon submission is paused" rule since the idea got on the spreadsheet before submissions were paused:

>Name*: Merchodent
>Type(s)*: Vanilla
>Stats*: 46/49/39/32/38/43 HP/Atk/Def/SpA/SpD/Spe
>Gender Ratio: 50/50
>(Level Up) Move(s)*: Whatever's fitting for an earlygame normal type trashmon, I don't even know if giving it the more busted moves could make it viable past the first few routes anyways. I guess I'll just go with this
Level 1: Claw
Level 4: Walk Away
Level 7: Dodge It
Level 10: Feral Claw
Level 13: Rat Race
Level 14: Kick Dirt
Level 14: Snowcone
Level 15: Fang
Level 19: Ramble
Level 24: Vanilla Scent
Level 29: Big Move
Level 32: Mouse Bites
TM/tutor/egg moves: Since Vanilla type is pretty much just a Normal type analog, feel free to give it a wide array of coverage/utility move types.
