I need ideas for Pokémon in my Philippinio x China region
Mythical dragon
The Phillipines has a bunch of fun mythology to work with, some ideas are:
-Fire/Grass mon based on theKapre(tree ogres that like to smoke)
-Dark/Fighting Tikbalang(horse-man demons)
-Dragon/whatever Bakunawa(dragon that eats the moon to cause eclipses),
-Dragon/Flying Olimaw(dragon that brings hurricanes)
-Ground(Rock?)/Flying Manaul(bird that started/stopped a fight between sky and sea by dropping rocks and creating land, version depends on which myth)
-Rock/Fire Bacobaco(turtle that dug into Mount Pinatubo and made a volcano)
-Ghost/Fire Bulaw(flying mountain-dwellers that carry torches made of bone)
-any kind of aswang(warning if you look these up, the descriptions for some types of aswang are very gory/body horror-esque)
Well I'm a Malaysian guy so I'm not too sure much but I can give some idea for bird Pokemon.
Like maybe a route 1 bird Pokemon based on a chicken. I think I mentioned this idea before. It starts as a normal type chick Pokemon, then in its second evolution it evolves into a pullet, which becomes flying/normal type (be sure to add flying as primary cause that's the trend now). Eventually when it reaches its final stage it gets a branched evolution, it remains flying/normal when it evolves into hens, or flying/fighting when it evolves into a rooster. Flying/Fighting is a reference to cockfighting, and cockfighting is a (now illegal) is a common sport in the Phillipines and generally throughout southeast Asia. I'm not sure about other Pokemon but there can also be a Pokemon based on a Red Crowned Crane because that's the national bird of China.
Chinese dragon def
And apply the Zodiac theory to the rest of the starters
What do you think?
