The Pokédex - Extended Fanon Edition

I launched Zangoose. It's still sparse though. If anyone is an expert on mongooses, please add to it.

What do we do with Mega Evolution? I know we're going to have to add this to mons who have them (Ralts for example), but how should we go about that?

Meditite Article posted on wiki.

I think people have been making the modifications to the existing entries for the Mega Evolutions. I guess for now it's listed under Notable Biology?

Some friends of mine have described it as essentially using emotional energy from the bond, and once this is exhausted, the Mega form ends, so that could be used as a base for anybody wanting to explain what fuels the mega in their article?

Although with Pinsir, it just looks like it gets pissed and remembers it has wings XD

EDIT: Taxima: We seem to have mostly similar ideas except on diet (although that carving out the child is a stroke of brilliance I didn't consider at all). I'll get to typing it all out and leave the diet blank for now

Thanks for the compliment about the kids. I also had a behavior idea that I forgot to bring up, which you probably already thought of. The line always cares its scabard/shield around we already know, so I thought if a Honedge, Doublade, or Aegislash suddenly tossed it to their trainer before battle, that would be a good thing. Rather than looking at it as them burdening you, it'd be the ultimate sign of trust for the sword pokemon to entrust you with what is in all truths a part of them.

Aegislash kinda needs it's shield so it can use King's Shield though. I can see Honedge and Doublade doing that though.

Actually, the sheathe is why I changed the feeding habits to vampirism

Because why would a Pokemon burden themselves with a sheath if they just need to get their arm around something?

Makes sense, makes sense. I guess I'll leave it in your hands for now, and add any imput when I see the rough draft.

Suggested addition for the Scyther line: in the Kalos and Unova regions, all evolution lines are also referred to as "Praying" or "Devout"—the poses they take when stalking prey resembles that of Kalosian and Unovan worship practices.

Sometimes I watch on Youtube this animal program called Dogs/Cats/Pets 101, which basically talks about how to raise certain breeds of dogs/cats or pets. I was thinking we could do some sort of spin-off Dex which does the same thing with species of Pokemon. Here's some examples.

Could be interesting.

Someone made The Fennekin article without claiming on the dibs page.

So... do we delete it, or something?

I'm making a cutlist request right now.

Seems come November we'll have to update the Weather Trio's articles.

Indeed. Wonder what kind of changes will be needed?

A New Forme, it would look like. Possibly a normal Forme, possibly Mega.

Might also be a Xerneas-like forme change. Which is kinda pointless, but eh.

I'd like to write about the Froakie Line (Froakie, Frogadier, Greninja) if that's okay. I'm pretty interested about them.

I had already called dibs on them... And I need to get to working in that article again.

I actually was halfway done when suddenly the file got deleted and I don't even know how >_>

Oh, I didn't see them on the Dibs page. It may be a good idea to put your dibs on there (if you didn't already). In that case, can I write about Genesect?

T.testPL called dibs on Dragon Type.

~Tropers/{{T.testPL}}: when calling dibs, bring it up here in the thread.

...damn, the notification doesn't work with punctuated names.

Hey everyone. Been a long time reader of tvtropes, and just recently stumbled across this project. I really like reading all of these entries and I find making real world biological analogies to Pokémon is a very cool concept. However, I called dibs a bit too early after making a new account, so I didn't have the ability to notify the thread immediately. My apologies for that.

Anyway, concerning the Dragon-type, I couldn't find any preceding explanation for their unique properties in any of the Dragon Pokémon lines, so I'll have to come up with my own. My personal interpretation is that it has two parts, a sort of material that is found on all Dragons' hides that form the defensive component, as well as a specialized organ capable of generating a kind of energy as the offensive component. The material could explain Dragon's many resistances, due to the hide's highly unreactive properties to most elements except extreme cold and certain types of energy. The offensive component of the typing is a bit more abstract, so a mysterious form of energy that can be expelled from a Pokémon's orifices or infused into their attacks makes sense. The presence of the organ can also explain how some non-Dragon-types are able to use Dragon move, as they likely have a less developed organ for this.

For the type's history, I speculate that Dragons were more common in prehistoric times, but being weak to themselves caused most of them to go extinct or lose their Dragon-type through natural selection. The ones that remain are both rare and extremely proficient predators, and most of these pseudo-legendary Dragons have features similar to dinosaurs.

My main worry is that explaining the Dragon-type's advantages and weaknesses would also necessitate some interpretation of the Fairy-type's properties, like how they might wreak havoc to a Dragon's skin or absorb the Dragon energy. My interpretation would also introduce some new concepts like Draconium hides or Draconian energy, like another Regicite or Umbrate all at once. Would all of you be OK with a newcomer like me shaking things up like that?

You might want to read the Dratini article since it has some info on the discovery and classification of Dragon-type.
