Fakemon in fanfictions

[Blademaster]

I like and use them, but you have to balance the whole thing so that it doesn't overwhelm the reader. To many fakemon can leave the reader with an unsure vision of the pokemon and the story. Visualising is the most important thing with fakemon. Personality next.

Agreed.

Which is why I beat you all to the punch.

Twice.

Meh I never saw the appeal. I've got loads to write about with the Pokemon that exist. I always felt enough was never done about Pokemon physiology, or what they eat, if they can swim, where they live etc. I really like exploring that with current Pokemon.

I've made fakemon before though. Starvous, which was a Starmie evolution. It was golden and red, like Staryu but red where it was gold and vice versa, with twelve arms. I quite liked that one.
