Pet Mod Generation X - The Next Chapter (Region 4: Brunica) [Slate 12: Pseudo-Legendary + Exceptional Evolution]

[Revenge of Depressed Gay]

Kersei: This is easily my favorite of the bunch by far. Am I biased because it's where I'm from, yes. Am I biased because I know all the fucking weird shit about New Jersey, also yes! There is nothing I want more than for this to win because of all the things I can sub. Like yeah a Hadrosaurus sub is pretty evident, but what about a new dark/fighting marowak variant that evolves through the help of a bat pokemon (yes he is from New Jersey) or a giant steel/dragon rollercoaster snake to represent Kingda Ka. This isn't even mentioning shit from PA like a weird fairy type that appears to be some sort of green snouted creature. There is more potential here than you think.

Tropula: Look I think the Caribbean Islands can make for a great region. You have a lot of room to play with for regional variants, specifically those from Kalos, Galar, and Paldea. However there is one piece that puts it over the edge for me is Team Bucanero. Am I saying that I would like to sub pirate mons for them to use, yes. Could they be references to anything else, possibly.

Brunica: I think it being just New Brunswick can be interesting and I think there's a lot of potential for regional forms, mainly from Kalos since Acadia and all, that adapt to the harsher environment. Overall I think it's a solid pick.

Staulo: Rereading the entry for Staulo has kind of sold me on it a bit more. I think Smallmon is neat, I think the potential for all sorts of biomes is interesting, and I think it could make for some pretty neat regional variants.

Yuugen: I love Pokemon Legends: Ogerpon. I assume we're gonna get Kitakami in here for good measure since the real world basis for it is in the Tohoku region.

Helia: Honestly I think I prefer this over Calamen because it has to make me dig deeper into greek mythology. Like I said a prefer a more narrow field for that reason. That said I would heavily consider adding Crete as well here because Crete has some really interesting things about it, like the Minoans.

Calamen: I have a bias against big regions. I think smaller regions allow people to get more weird and flavorful with the subs because of the higher restriction. Fair warning this bias is going to come into play a lot. It does get some points for having Albania in the map. Perhaps Greatest Albania can come to fruition.

Jiaquo: I think China is a great place to make several regions out of. I think the various differences between the provinces could make for some interesting regions by themselves. The reason I place this lower is just because of my bias towards larger regions. China is almost as big as the US in terms of land area. If we can have state regions why shouldn't we have province regions for China?

Indux: I also think India is a great place for several regions, but also it is a damn subcontinent. Pretty much the same issue I had with Jianquo applies here. My bias against big regions is going to be my downfall.

Skaneya: Once again my bias is showing because big region me no like blah blah blah. However I feel like there should have been something else included in the region about Vikings. It feels incomplete for some reason. Like if Gen X did DLC as well it would really complete this viking inspired region, but for the life of me I can't land on what it ice.

Olus: I don't really have anything to say about this. It's neat but there are others I like more.

Acardia: I'm sorry but the AI involvement made me disinterested from the getgo.

 

[Falchion]

Skaneya (Neat region, but would Sucker Punch stunlock Vhrallgyra since the attacker already moved?)

Divine Intervention works with all priority moves, Sucker Punch included. That said, it prevents Vhrallgyra from moving as well for balance reasons, so in a hypothetical team battle situation, Vhrallgyra's ability activating could open up an opportunity for someone else on the enemy side to get a hit in while she's helpless.

Can I just calrify that the game is set on Earth? It's just the humans that flew away, preserving all of existing pokemon on their new planet, but the protagonist has to re-colonize Earth (or at least the Pokemon world). Space theme is crucial in a lot of games of the main line, since sapphire and ruby, up until sun and moon (where you could travel to planets in another dimensions on the legendary Pokémon), I just think this can be the next step to that line. The two strongest themes in the Pokémon lore are mythology and technology (and I think this could have been expressed even better in Scarlet and Violet lore, but we've all seen how it went), so i really wanted to expand these concepts even more with a legends game.
Thanks for the final part btw, the theme is in fact inspired to a different game that I'm working on, but it's not the same story, just a particular concept that I wanted to expand. I also think After Earth is too bad of a movie to waste a so good idea ahaha

That does clarify a few things for me, though I admittedly still feel like your pitch is not as consistent with the general Pokémon franchise ethos as the rest of the subs. I've removed the mention of AI and appreciate that you recognized your misjudgment and intend to do better from now on. I look forward to seeing your original game idea and what direction you'd take with the concept outside of this mod!

Slate 2 - Gimmick your Moves

-Generational Gimmick-

​

Ever since Generation VI, the official Pokémon mainline games have their own mechanic that allowed a variety of Pokémon to turn the tide when used correctly. From Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Dynamax and Terastalization, each of these have their own lore and flavor, as well as competitive impacts, but whether or not one succeeds to have a lasting impact for a majority of fans is another story.

As promised, for part one of this slate, aside from the option of "No Generational Gimmick", here is the other default option that will be on the poll, as explained by Samtendo...

Possible Gimmick: Specialized Type
Through the Soul Gem of matching type, the Pokémon can get an additional benefit that combines an additional Ability, move depending on higher Attack or Special Attack, and immunity to or ignorance of something (never to a type). A few type grants more than one immunity, or get a more impactful one, to compensate their less than ideal type.

Activated as soon as switching in before hazards takes effect, and lasts until the holder faints. The Soul Gem cannot be interacted through move nor Abilities; it cannot be Knocked Off, for example. Only one Specialized Pokémon per team in one battle, though the team can hold multiple; if the Specialized Pokémon of the team faints, another of the same team cannot be Specialized. Moves given through the Soul Gem have only 5 PPs (as if acquired through Transform or Imposter), discouraging spamming and encouraging strategic use of the move. If holder already have the move, then the Extra Move won’t be given, but other mechanics will work fine.

Lorewise, the Soul Gems were the spirit of the Pokémon that went rogue and turned against their own Trainers before being vanquished, with their spirit slowly but surely purified once sealed in the gems. In ancient time, they were used to help villagers from dealing with strong wild Pokémon and invaders alike.

Additionally, if a Legendary or Mythical Pokémon, or another special kind of Pokémon (Ultra Beast, Paradox, possibly a new one) uses a Soul Gem, they will only get the new move. This is a “safety net” to prevent them from dominating even more than before in both 6v6 Singles and 4v4 VGC formats. The lore reason for this is due to their immense power lore-wise, even of the “lesser” ones, is preventing them from using the Soul Gems at full potential without risking of shattering the Soul Gems, permanently fleeing the spirit and rendering them unusable afterward.

Both Silvally and Arceus are exceptions of the safety net, both gameplay and lore-wise; Arceus is an exception partly thanks to it’s omnipotence, being the creator and all, and the resemblance to the Plates, while Silvally‘s RKS System allows it to circumvent this limit without breaking the held Soul Gem. Both even benefit of changing their type to the Soul Gem of that respective type, making them potential potent threats in tiers where they are allowed in.

Possibilities

Extra Ability, Extra Move (Physical / Special), Immunity
Only official moves and Abilities are used as examples
Normal: Sheer Force, Head Charge / Wring Out, immune to reducing it’s stats, even by itself.
Fighting: No Guard, Close Combat / Focus Blast, immune to Paralysis akin to Limber and Electric-type.
Flying: Wind Rider, Brave Bird / Hurricane, immune to Speed reducing stages from other Pokémon.
Ground: Unaware, Headlong Rush / Earth Power, immune to trapping akin of being a Ghost-type.
Rock: Solid Rock, Mighty Cleave / Power Gem, immune to non-direct damage akin to Magic Guard.
Poison: Technician, Poison Fang / Sludge Bomb, immune to Heal Block and Psychic Noise.
Bug: Compound Eyes, Megahorn / Pollen Puff, ignore redirection and immune to flinching.
Ghost: Cursed Body, Poltergeist / Shadow Ball, immune to Taunt, Torment and Disable.
Steel: Sturdy, Spin Out / Make It Rain, immune to Defense and Special Defense reducing from other Pokémon.
Fire: Steam Engine, Pyro Ball / Armor Cannon, ignore Rain mechanics.
Water: Thick Fat, Wave Crash / Hydro Pump, ignore Sun mechanics.
Grass: Grassy Surge, Power Whip / Chloroblast, immunity to both Burn and Freeze.
Electric: Intimidate, Volt Tackle / Thunder, immunity of priority moves as if in Psychic Terrain.
Psychic: Magic Guard, Psychic Fangs / Psycho Boost, immunity of Confusion akin to Own Tempo.
Ice: Refrigerate, Hyper Drill* / Hyper Voice*, (*both are Normal-type and not Ice-type, but notice Refrigerate), ignore entry hazards (akin to Heavy Duty Boots) and Status Moves (akin to Good as Gold).
Dragon: Stalwart, Outrage / Clinging Scales, immunity to Intimidate (and variants).
Dark: Infiltrator, Foul Play / Fiery Wrath, immunity to Sound-based moves akin to Soundproof.
Fairy: Pastel Veil, Play Rough / Moonblast, immunity to Sleep akin to Insomnia.

Rules:

• You can either sub a past generational gimmicks or a new one. Past generational gimmicks include Mega Evolution (Gen 6 & Loria), Z-Moves (Gen 7), Dynamax (Gen 8), Terastalisation (Gen 9) and Wonder Masks (Desvega). Note that if you sub Dynamax, you'll have to sub a heavily nerfed version of it unless you specifically intend for it to be banned from singles metagame.
• Each user can only final sub one mechanic. You can list out ideas for multiple respective mechanics, but be warned that only one of them will be considered for the sake of counting as an individual submission, not all.
• Regional Forms, cross-generational evolutions, baby Pokémon, convergent Pokémon (Lookalikes), Ultra Beasts and Paradox Pokemon are not considered as Generational Gimmicks and are already part of the mod, Any submission involving them will be automatically vetoed.
• Generational mechanics affect either the moves, stats, Ability or all of the above of a Pokémon.
• While open-ended, please do consider the fact that the Pokémon Showdown engine has its limitations, so we encourage you to keep it simple and healthy for any original ideas. You will be informed if the idea sounds uncodeable or uncompetitive.
• Your mechanic should be related to at least one of the legendaries, present and/or future. Any new mechanic (that is, not relating to a past generational gimmick, listed in the first rule) which is not related to any of the Elders of Nature legendary trio risks being vetoed.

Generational Gimmick Template

Name: The name of your mechanic
Effect: How your mechanic works. Be sure to clearly explain how your mechanic works in detail
Universal?: Answer "Yes" if the mechanic can be used by all Pokémon, "No" if only certain Pokémon can use them, and "Yes, with Signatures" if all Pokémon can use it but certain Pokémon get signature versions
Flavor (Required): Explain why can Pokémon in Brunica utilise this mechanic. Does it have a connection to the Elders of Nature, or perhaps a different Legendary, or even Mythical?
Justification: Explain why your mechanic should be added and how it affects battles in a positive way.

In addition, following comments from the last iteration, we have (optionally) a new list of Teachable Moves, which are TMs and Tutor Moves; these will help you decide on the movepools for new Pokemon. Over the course of this slate, we want to hear feedback regarding which list you would prefer to be carried on for future iterations.
Please check the spreadsheet listed on page 22 for the new Brunica region. After the poll, I do NOT want to hear a n y o n e complaining about movepool issues.

This slate will last for at least 72 hours, depending on posting activity.

 

[flareth13]

Name: Mega Evolution
Effect: it's mega evolution
Universal?: No
Flavor (Required): kalos exists. kalos is france. quebec exists.
Justification: literally i can't think of anything original but I do love how megas give new life to Pokemon that (usually) need it.

 

[sharpen42]

Name: Deity Forms
Effect:
The mechanic is based on a held Item, we'll call it the "Deity Shard" as a placeholder, which is the fragment of a crystal or the scale of a mythical Pokémon.

A Pokémon holding the Deity Shard will transform into one of 18 different deities, which one is determined by its primary type.
The transformation happens when the Pokémon is switched in for the first time, and it remains as long as the Pokémon is holding the Deity Shard.
The primary type of the Pokémon will determine the appearance, the ability and the base stats of the Pokémon (which sum is always 600), while the secondary determines some boosts and drops to those base stats, whose net sum is +0.
The moves remain the same of the original Pokémon, but in its Deity Form, it won't be able to select non-STAB offensive moves, and peculiar moves, like Dark Void, will fail if used.

Each player is able to give just one Deity Shard as an held Item to a Pokémon in their team, but the Deity Shard can be stolen.

Item removal mechanics

If a Pokémon uses Trick, Switcheroo or a specific move that any Pokémon can learn, Shardesire, that consumes held Item and steals the Deity Shard from the opponent (could be a Launch+Thief combination), but has very low priority (like Dragon Tail), it will steal the opponent's Deity Shard and turn into its Deity Form. These moves will fail if used by a Deity form, so the shards can only be stolen, not given. Knock Off will remove the shard and revert the Pokemon back to its regular form. Same goes with Thief and Covet, but they will turn the Pokemon that used them successfully into its Deity form.

Here is a table with the base stats of each Deity, they've been calculated by seeing the average stats for each type and rescaling on a 600 total:

Table

BST: 600	Scaled HP	Scaled ATK	Scaled DEF	Scaled SPA	Scaled SPD	Scaled SPE	Scaled TOT
GRASS	95	105	100	110	100	90	600

FAIRY	100	90	100	110	120	80	600
AVG	95	108	103	101	101	91	600

Stat averages were calculated by Bulbapedia and rounded by me, some corrections to final values has been applied to make all numbers multiples of 5, so calculations are easier. To do so, no more than 5 points were moved around.

Link to the full Google sheet: Calculator (with temporary values for bonuses and abilities)
Click on "File" -> "Create a copy" to edit the file and select the types.

The 18 new forms, abilities, and bonuses (and colors!) determined by each type will be decided through 1 single slate, where each user is free to submit these feartures for any number of types.

Whenever base HP are changed, their current value is rescaled in percentage over the new base value.
Single type Pokémon are considered as twice the same type, so both the base stats and stat bonuses are determined by the same type.

Let's make an example:

Example

First I will come up with two Deities, they won't be submitted.
Let's have Grassalia, Deity of the Grass type, and Normalia, Deity of the Normal type, and take into consideration Arboliva (Grass/Normal) and Sawsbuck (Normal/Grass).
Grassalia's base stats are 95/105/100/110/100/90 (check the table), and its ability is "Flower Absorption", which gives a 50% boost to Grass type moves used by the holder whenever it is hit by a move of its secondary type (working like Flash Fire).
As a secondary type, let's say Grass gives a +10/+0/-15/+10/+10/-15 stat bonus combo, and its color is Green.
Normalia's base stats are 110/110/90/90/95/105 (check the table), and its ability is "Keen Adaptation", which makes the holder's Normal-type moves inflict double damage on opponents of its secondary type.
As a secondary type, let's say Normal gives a +10/+10/+10/-20/-10/+0 stat bonus combo, and its color is White.

Now, during the battle:
First turn, Arboliva is holding the Deity Shard, and when it switches in, it turns into Grassalia-White, its typing remains the same, its ability becomes Flower Absorption, and its stats become 95+10/105+10/100+10/110-20/100-10/90+0 => 105/115/110/80/90/90.
When Sawsbuck, holding the Deity Shard, switches in, it turns into Normalia-Green, so its typing is preserved, its ability becomes Keen Adaptation and its stats become 110+10/110+0/90-15/90+10/95+10/105-15 => 120/110/75/100/115/90.
Sawsbuck has more EV investment on Spe, so Normalia-Green hits first with Double Edge, inflicting double damage on Grassalia-White (because it's a Grass-type Pokémon), which resists with 4% HP.
Grassalia now uses Giga Drain, which has 50% more power thanks to its ability (because it's been hit by a Normal-type move).

Some example deity abilities:

Example Deity Abilities

Flower Absorption	Under Sunny Day, the holder inflicts 50% more damage with moves of its secondary type.
Fiery Spirit	Whenever the holder is hit by a move of its secondary type, the power of Fire-type moves is boosted by 50%.
Humid Skin	When holder is hit by a move of its secondary type, it recovers 25% HP instead of taking damage.
All-Source Engine	Boosts Speed by +1 whenever the holder is hit by a move of its secondary type.
Mind Control	Sets up Trick Room for 5 turns and as long as it's active, moves of its secondary type are inflict 30% more damage.
Keen Adaptation	The holder's Normal-type moves inflict double damage on opponents of its secondary type.
Screen Breaker	Moves of the secondary type break through Protection and Substitute, and remove Screens from the field.
Typhoon Boost	Flying-type moves have +1 priority when hitting a Pokemon of the holder's secondary type.
Coward Flee	When hit by a move of the secondary type, the opponents get a -1 drop to Atk and SpA, and holder switches out.
Diamond Body	When holder is hit by a move supereffective on the secondary type, received damage is reduced by 75%.
Force Field	Sets up Gravity for 5 turns and as long as it's active, moves of the secondary type have an additional 20% Precision.
Freezing Touch	Moves of the holder's secondary type have an additional 20% chance of Freezing the target.
Toxic Touch	Moves of the holder's secondary type have an additional 30% chance to Badly Poison the target.
Troughpasser	Moves of the holder's secondary type ignore immunities based on typing and ability.
Ferocity	When the holder KOs an opponent with a move of the secondary type, the power of Dragon-type moves is boosted by 50% and Spe by +1.
Expert Thief	Moves of the secondary type have 50% chance to remove the opponent's item.
Shield Rumble	When the holder is hit by a Contact or Sound move, the holder immediately uses a clone of Round that inflicts damage of the secondary type.
Fabled Cure	When a move of the secondary type is used by any Pokémon on the field, the holder recovers 1/8 of max HP.

Calculations are easy and all numbers are rounded, but there are 324 possible combinations, but it's more like 18 Pokémon with 18 forms each.
Between two Pokémon of the exact same typing (say Pidgeot and Fearow), the only difference becomes the movepool.
All the values can be easily reascaled to reach a total of 570, 580 or any number for the stats, I just chose 600 to make it similar to Megaevolution, so that these Pokémon reach a near-legendary like strength. We can discuss the BST value together, please consider this when voting.
Universal?: Almost (all Pokémon except Legendaries and Mythicals)
Flavor (Required): With the story of Terapagos we had some hints that types aren't a categorization created by humans to classify Pokémon moves and behavior, but the really carry an essence on their own, and they are all related to a specific hue for each of them.
The typical color of a type is not only reflected by the particles emitted while using the move, but also by the primary colors of Pokémon of a specific type.

In Brunica, 18 ancient deities, one of each type, left their souls to give power to the Pokémon in need of it (they can even be the Regis). When one of the deities, watching from above, feels pity for a Pokémon in a difficult situation, they give it their strength, transforming it into a simulacrum of their soul for a limited time. Terapagos is the last one of these deities alive, because it has decided to stay in the physical world to watch over all the types (Terapagos should't be relevant during the story or for the lore, it's just a link with previous generations).

To manage their link with the physical world, the deities trust a mythical Pokémon, whose scales carry the power to connect to the deities and unleash such forms. These scales can be easily found throughout the region, and trainers have learnt how to use them during battles, so they can turn their favorite Pokémon into a real Legendary one.
Justification: The aim of the generational gimmick was always to make strongest pokemon even more strong or different, or to let some minor Pokémon have their time to shine, adding new elements to the metagame. With a form determined only by the primary type, any Pokémon can turn into an actually viable form, only determined by its typing. I also really want to explore how a gimmick that can be stolen would actually go.

This mechanic is valuable on a Pokémon only based on its typing and moves, so this can really give some forgotten Pokémon the ability to shine. Think what would happen if Kilowattrel could become Zapdos, Scrafty could become Urshifu-Single Strike and Poliwrath or Quaquaval the other Urshifu. The aim of this gimmick is to put all Pokemon at the same level with these kinds of Pokemon, so that they can all really shine.

After Terastalization has shown us the potential of changing type, Deity Forms aim to make Pokémon take full advantage of their original typing.
PS: no artificial intelligence was used to generate this idea, only my natural stupidity

I also wanted to say that anyone is free to submit a gimmick inspired to or even copied from my Twisted (dead but fully coded) Pet Mod.

 

[Samtendo09]

While you people come up with new ideas or returning an old gimmick, I managed to complete the learnset for my legend trio for Akulut, Wendora and Lutakon.

If there’s any universal move I missed, or if there’s anything that seems odd to you, let me know.

 

[Ayecrusher King]

Council Leader Announcement: Only the level up movepool for the Elders of Nature are acknowledged at the moment. Regarding TMs and Tutors, as mentioned, the other thing that is decided in this slate is which Teachable Move List we will be using going forward and in future iterations of Gen X. Please check the spreadsheet on Post #526 on both lists.

Anyways, back as a participant, here is my proposed gimmick:
Name: Type Balms
Effect: The first time the holder enters the battle, the new held item Type Balm is consumed, and the holder gains a third-type, akin to the effects of the moves Forest's Curse and Trick-Or-Treat, or the Ability Ice Curse of the Desvegan Pseudo-Legendary, also made by Samtendo09. Certain Pokemon will additional gain exclusive moves if they know a move that matches their third type: these exclusive moves replace the original move, and what Pokemon gain what exclusive moves will be decided in a later slate. The only effect you get for having a Pokemon hold a Type Balm of their type is freeing your item slot, which...I guess it helps with Unburden? The effects of the Type Balm last until the Pokémon faints or switches out.
Universal?: Yes, with Signatures
Flavor: "It happened many centuries ago. The ruffian known as Akulut emerged from the oceans to drown the lands of Brunica with its hate. Many people and Pokémon were lost. From their remains, came the ruffian known as Wendora. Born from the despair of those lost, it sought to turn the lands of Brunica into its frozen graveyard. At the height of the disaster, the first Pokémon who had bonded with a human in Brunica sought to intervene. In the heart of a vast forest, it poured forth the bonds between itself and its human into the lands, sending the ruffians into a deep slumber. But the damage to our lands was done. Even as it exhausted its strength, it could not heal the frostbite that poisoned Brunica, and it fell into a similar slumber afterward. At the same time, special herbs began to sprout. Those who consumed medicine made from these herbs felt great energy and vitality surge through their bodies. Some of them even became capable of moves that had never been seen before. I heard that there's a region where they used it to make sandwiches. Hmph. What a waste."

- A Brunican folktale as told by a Professor.​

Justification: The premature love child between Terastalisation and Z-Crystals. Type matchups are going to become a headache for dual-types.

 

[Falchion]

Name: Vitali-Types

Effect:
A sort-of return to Mega Evolution, though with a few balancing tweaks. Notably, the actual form of the Pokémon wouldn't change, but the life force that empowers each and every Pokémon is especially prominent in certain Pokémon and can be called forth in battle, via special wooden charms known as Vitalismans. Notably, unlike with Mega Evolution, Vitali-Types do not change the user's stats, and cannot be of any type that the base form already has, meaning Charizard* would not be able to receive a Fire- or Flying-type Vitali-Type for instance. These Auras take on the properties (such as color) of their respective types, and implement a sort-of "third type" in that any attacking move of the user's primary type will instead inflict damage of the Vitali-Type (e.g., a Charizard with an Electric Vitali-Type will inflict Electric-type damage when using Flamethrower).

Universal?: "Yes, with Signatures"
Vitali-Types can be used by all Pokémon, with each aura having a different color; ordinarily, the Pokémon would emit a glow effect of this color when the Vitali-Type is active. Some Pokémon, however, can manifest a more complex Awakened Vitali-Type in the form of energy constructs surrounding at least parts of their anatomy, ranging from mystical armor to weaponized appendages to entire new creatures made entirely of Aura with the original Pokémon suspended within like a core. These special forms would be optional, but if anyone wants to include them in their submissions, they must include the type of the Vitali-Type and what appearance the aura has on the user. Only final- or single-stage Pokémon can receive a special Vitali-Type form, but they can have up to three different kinds of Awakened Vitali-Types depending on thematic and balancing rationales. Awakened or no, though, each specimen will have only one Vitali-Type which cannot be changed (e.g. you can catch a Charizard with an Electric-type Vitali-Type, but if you wanted one with a Dragon-type Aura you'd have to catch another).

Flavor (Required):
As Lutakon slumbers, its energy passively spreads throughout the ley lines of the Brunica region and infuses all of its Pokémon with a small portion of its divine power. It is through this connection to the life force of Brunica's guardian that through special amulets said to be carved from the wood of Lukaton's branches, Pokémon are able to access a special ability to wield types those who know of them wouldn't expect, the better to combat the terrible forces that could potentially threaten the whole region. Some specific varieties of Pokémon have been especially receptive to Lutakon's vitality and can access an even stronger form that enables this "Vitali-Type" to fully come into its own. It is said that should Akulut and Wendora return, Lutakon's awakening will call forth an entire garden of Vitali-Typed allies, united by their shared purpose of protecting the region they all call home...

Justification:
This is essentially, to me anyway, Terastrallizing but less hax - hopefully what I've proposed won't be as centralizing. It also opens up design opportunities for custom forms reflecting the changed type, calling back to the "custom Terastrallized forms" done by multiple fakemon artists - a missed opportunity for Paldea's gimmick. If anyone has feedback and suggestions for this, let me know and I'll be happy to consider them!

Name: Legacy Idol
Effect: Upon pressing the 'Activate Idol' button, a third type is added to the Pokemon for the rest of the battle.
Universal?: Yes
Flavor (Required): In-game, the idols would be collected in the vein of Z-Crystals and, like the Tera... whatever it's called, they are activated by the trainer's bag instead of the held item. Functionally, this ends up working like a less-extreme Tera.

Lore-wise, Brunician mythology tells the story of a previous trainer had allied itself with Lutakon during a previous conflict between Wendora and Akulut. Lutakon rewarded the trainer's wisdom by leaving the trainer with 18 idols it empowered. Each idol took the form of one of the trainer's Pokemon. Over time, the idols were lost and became mythologized as legendary treasures to the modern people of Brunicia. As word of the treasures reached other regions (including neighbouring Unova), many have descended upon the region in the hopes of finding these special items.

Justification: triple type are fun. This does overlap with Ayecrusher King's sub but mine is more flexible and permanent without signatures. Whether those are advantages or not will be up to the individual voter.

 

[Ayecrusher King]

We now have six new gimmicks, half the amount of regions subbed and enough for me to start the official countdown.
You now have 24 hours, starting from this post, to sub a generational gimmick.
There are a couple that are unclear or may have issues, which I will now address:

Name: Vitali-Types
Universal?: "Yes, with Signatures"
Vitali-Types can be used by all Pokémon, with each aura having a different color; ordinarily, the Pokémon would emit a glow effect of this color when the Vitali-Type is active. Some Pokémon, however, can manifest a more complex Awakened Vitali-Type Only final- or single-stage Pokémon can receive a special Vitali-Type form, but they can have up to three different kinds of Awakened Vitali-Types depending on thematic and balancing rationales. Awakened or no, though, each specimen will have only one Vitali-Type which cannot be changed (e.g. you can catch a Charizard with an Electric-type Vitali-Type, but if you wanted one with a Dragon-type Aura you'd have to catch another).

There are parts of Vitali-types that confuses me, at least in terms of showdown mechanics. The normal Vitali-types I presume could be the same as Hidden Power & Terastalisation, and Awakened Vitali could operate like Ogerpon, but 1. how exactly do you activate and manifest these Vitali types? 2. what exactly do you mean by "an unchangeable Vitali-Type, awakened or not"? [Edit: Okay, but in that case, please give a (general) name for that unremovable item.]

Name: Type Idol
Effect: Upon pressing the 'Activate Idol' button, a third type is added to the Pokemon for the rest of the battle.
Universal?: "Yes,

First off, the item you're looking for is the Tera Orb. Second, I'd admit, I did consider making my Type Balms the same as your current suggestion, so I'm personally alright with your sub. However, I am going to request you to change the name of your gimmick, because it otherwise does feel like a rip-off to mine.

 

[Ubertrainer2000]

Name: Ancestrality
Effect: Once per battle, a Pokémon can activate a passive ability (Through the use of a special button) for all friendly Pokémon that lasts for the rest of the battle according to it's category. For example, Raichu, Raticate, and Sandslash would all have the same Ancestrality because they are all considered to be the Mouse Pokémon, and the same would apply to Breloom, Parasect and Amoongus, who are all considered to be the Mushroom Pokémon. This passive ability cannot be nullified by most means once activated, but certian other abilities, such as special attacks and other Ancestralities, can briefly disable them for a few turns. Activating the Ancestrality always goes first before any attacks. Only one friendly Pokémon can activate an Ancestrality per battle.
Example Shared Ancestrality: For Ninjask and Greninja, the Ninja Pokémon: Shadow Dodge: Once activated, if a friendly Pokémon is damaged by an attack three turns in a row, the next enemy attack has it's accuracy set to 0.
Example Unique Ancestrality: For Orbeetle, the only Seven Spot Pokémon: Gravity Star: Intensifies Gravity for the rest of the battle. The move Gravity becomes a 10BP Special Psychic attack that hits seven times.
Universal?: Yes, but categories that are unique to one Pokémon will have their Ancestrality be unique to them. For example, Espathra is the only Ostrich Pokémon, so it's Ancestrality would be unique.
Flavor (Required): When Lukaton sealed itself away to calm the rampaging Legendary Pokémon, he left behind one parting gift to allow the Pokémon of the region to fight back against them once their destructive instincts return, infusing the region with it's natural beauty, unknown to anyone but itself. Hidden within each Pokémon in the region is a special power that allows them to truly awaken the genes within them which were once sealed away by it's own evolution for being too much for nature to handle normally, enabling for unexpected powers that even the two Legendary Pokémon did not expect.

 

[Falchion]

There are parts of Vitali-types that confuses me, at least in terms of showdown mechanics. The normal Vitali-types I presume could be the same as Hidden Power & Terastalisation, and Awakened Vitali could operate like Ogerpon, but 1. how exactly do you activate and manifest these Vitali types? 2. what exactly do you mean by "an unchangeable Vitali-Type, awakened or not"?

This gimmick would probably work in the same way as Mega Evolution, in which a certain non-removable item is used to activate it and can be used at any time during the battle, but lasts the rest of the match and can't be undone until afterward. The Awakened form would then be like Gigantamax compared to Dynamax - it's assumed automatically when the gimmick is activated.

By unchangeable, I mean it'd be specific to each individual Pokémon, akin to the Tera Type, in that each will have exactly one Vitali-Type that can't be altered; even among the same species, the Vitali-Type for one Pokémon will be different from that of the next.

In addition, there is the decision to be made regarding our list of teachable moves. We will either continue to use the traditional list made by Hematite, or we will start using the revised list made by yours truly. If you are still unsure of which moves are found in either list, please check the spreadsheet, a link of which can be found either on post #526 or at our discord, also on the same post.

After this poll, all slates will be followed by a discussion phase, during which submitters of a winning submission are required to provide a full movepool, consisting of lvl up moves, egg moves, TMs and Tutor moves; new slates will N O T begin until every winning sub of the concurrent slate has a full movepool provided. Should the submitter go AWOL, the council will be given the right to create the finalised movepool of any incomplete subs for them.

You have been warned.​

This is a ranked voting poll. The order of your preferences DOES matter, and your own gimmick cannot be your first nor only vote. You may vote for as many or as few options as you like, but we encourage you to vote as many options as possible as the more you vote for, the more points your individual votes will be weighted.

The voting options for Generational Gimmicks without formatting:

No Generational Gimmick
Specialized Type*
Mega Evolution
Deity Forms
Type Balms
Vitali-Types
Legacy Idol
Ancestrality

*Should there be a tie that involves this option, it will be prioritised for the purposes of tiebreaking.​

The voting options for the list of teachable moves moving forward*:

Hermatite
Ayecrusher King

*Only vote for one option; if you vote for both, only your first | top choice will be acknowledged.​

This poll will be open for at least 24 hours, and may be extended depending on the amount of votes counted.

The more immediate results are in: starting in Brunica, we bid farewell to the contributions of former Gen X council member Hermatite as we begin using the revised list of teachable moves made by yours truly. For the coders, this means every gendered sub will at least have the moves Take Down, Hidden Power, Protect, Frustration, Return, Double Team, Facade, Rest, Attract, Natural Gift, Sleep Talk, Snore and Substitute.
As for what our gimmick will be...

No Generational Gimmick 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 8 + 1 = 9

Slate 3 - Your first friend
-Starters Slate-

​

The iconic trio await at the start of every player’s journey; regardless of your choice, all will be a very useful companion throughout your adventure. While not every component of the trio may be loved equally, and only a few have managed to remain competitively viable since, they are, without a doubt, an iconic icon of their time for both casual first-timers as well as competitive veterans.

Rules:

• You must sub a Starter Trio, with the primary typings of each starter being Grass, Fire, and Water respectively. Any sub that doesn't have these primary types will be automatically vetoed.
• Each Starter line must have 3 Stages, consist of no split evolutions, and have a unifying theme.
• Starters must have exactly 2 abilities, with their primary ability being Overgrow (Grass), Blaze (Fire), or Torrent (Water).
• Each Starter is limited to only have one signature move and/or Hidden Ability. You are permitted to include adjustments for previously introduced moves, though read the template for specifics rules.
• The LC stage of each starter must have a 310-320 BST, the NFE stage must have 405-420 BST, and the FE stage must have 525-535 BST. Keeping the BST even between the starters is an option, while extreme minmaxed stat distributions is not.
• As Brunica is not a Legends: setting, regional forms of previously established starters, whether they be mainline or of a previous Gen X iteration, will be automatically vetoed; while you are permitted to draw inspirations from previously established starters, your starters should still be distinct in their own way.
