I was reading some of the "Pokemon Database stories" and wondered if there could be a thread for DB users Fakemon ideas!

The requirements would be name, type, etymology, inspirations, at least 1 Pokedex entry, level up learnset, base stats, gender ratio, egg groups, and abilities. You would also be able to include your own new signature moves and abilities! Of course, you should try to include concept art or a descriptor....but if you can't it's fine.

Example (one of my own Fakemon)

Phantazor

Etymology: Phantom + Raze + Razor
Type: Steel/Ghost
Possible Abilities: Steely Spirit, Cursed Body, (Hidden) Shadow Tag
Inspirations: Scythes, Grim Reaper
Egg Groups: Amorphous, Mineral
Gender Ratio: 50% Female, 50% Male
Description: Long and ethereal ghost with no legs and only a wispy tail; yellow mist floating off in places; arms are black, metal scythes; no facial features except for eyes on a pure black face, with metal eyelashes growing out over the head like horns; two pieces of steel that have the shape of crescent moons hang down from the head like hair and frame the face.

Pokedex Entries:

"This vengeful spirit fused itself with metal scythes in order to exact revenge upon it's killers. As a result, it is very slow."
"After revenging itself, this Pokemon works in pairs with Dusknoir to escort spirits to the afterlife. Nothing can escape Phantazor when it decides to go after you."

Base stats:
HP: 80
Atk: 120
Def: 90
SpA: 60
SpD: 100
Spe: 45
BST: 495

Level-up Learnset:

Level 1: Scratch
Level 1: Mean Look
Level 1: Spite
Level 5: Astonish
Level 15: Metal Claw
Level 19: Confuse Ray
Level 20: Eerie Impulse
Level 30: Smart Strike
Level 35: Shadow Ball/Slash
Level 45: Specter Scythe (70 BP, Physical, Steel type, does Ghost type damage for 2-3 turns.)
Level 55: Swords Dance
Level 75: Autotomize

May I make this thread?

I think that 1, people would be confused and 2, it seems like it could be the same story as CAP, where that is actually a played format, but it's still not allowed. So, I'd say I wouldn't think so
But they're just fanmade contents and less important in this site! Even questions about fanmade games aren't allowed here!
I'd personally love to post some of my Fakemon. I'd feel like this would be more appropriate for a forum though, although it doesn't appear the forum will be implemented anytime soon so a thread would be nice. My only concern is that it doesn't really have anything to do with this website, and thus if this get greenlighted would this open the floodgates to more unrelated threads?
I'd love this. I have made like 100 Fakemons, no lie. This would be an awesome thread to me. ( 1+ vote)
We already have one, although old and part of a bygone era: https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/meta/18099/create-a-pokemon-thread

Not sure if we can still post on it at the moment, though. :P
Huh, I completely forgot about that thread. Since it already exists, I don't see what would be wrong with reviving it or making a sequel thread.
*posts two regions' worth of fakemon*
what's the purpose of this? what good will this do to this website?
It doesn't really have a purpose to be honest. Just thought it would be a fun thread for the community.
