Okay, this poll is about Fakemon. If anyone doesn't know, a Fakemon is like a Pokemon, but it's one that the writer creates specifically for his/her fic. It may be used again by the same writer or others, but the fact is that it is not one of the Pokemon that has been released.

So, what are your opinions about the usage of Fakemon? Have you ever used one before? Have you seen a particularly good example of one? Share with us!

Personally, I don't like Fakemon all that much, unless they're done really, really well. That's not to say I haven't done some myself (I think I had two in WDAMO), but I try to stay away from them. Of course, if the writer does an absolutely superb job of permanently implanting the Fakemon's picture in my head, then I'm impressed. Sadly, I have not yet had that happen with any Fakemon by any writer. But there's still hope!
