I'm sorry if this content isn't adequate to this forum, but it didn't seem so from reading the rules.
Well, these are my first drawings in ages, and my first time coloring art digitally, so I'm sorry if it's not that good, but here it is:
The Seed Pokémon
My first Fakemon! This is meant to be a Grass-Type Starter Pokémon and part of an evolutionary line based on a peafowl mixed with concepts of ancient South Asian religions like Buddhism and Hinduism, which regard that bird as sacred.
Etymology: Seed + Siddhartha (Buddha Gautama's original name) OR Dharma, a key concept for all main religions originated from India.
Type: Grass
Ability: Overgrow/Serene Grace (HA)
Evolutionary line:
Seedhar -Lv.16-> Buddhi -Lv.32-> Pavana
Pokédex entry:
"This Pokémon possesses an innate strong spiritual perception. It is said to be able to remember its past lives, and that its chirps may be heard by its future incarnations. This little bird Pokémon always eat exactly 108 seeds per day. Nobody knows for sure why, but it is suggested that is related to the growth of the seed planted on its head."
The Peafowl Pokémon
Etymology: Bud + Bodhisattva [one of last stages of enlightenment (Bodhi) before the Buddha]
Type: Grass/Flying
Ability: Overgrow/Serene Grace (HA)
Evolutionary line:
Seedhar -Lv.16-> Buddhi -Lv.32-> Pavana
Pokédex entry:
"Buddhi spends most of its time roosting on the highest branches of trees located on the densest portion of a forest, in a state similar to medidation. For yet unknown reasons, it usually chooses trees traditionally regarded as sacred as its roost. It is said that its loud cries are able to scare away malevolent spirits and remove any curse placed on whomever hears them. Many mantras employed by esoteric religions take inspiration from this Pokémon's song."
The Enlightened Pokémon
Etymology: Pavo (Latin for Peafowl) + Nirvana (The final stage of spiritual evolution where the soul is freed from the reincarnation cycle and no longer has to suffer or doubt ever again)
Type: Grass/Flying
Ability: Overgrow/Serene Grace (HA)
Evolutionary line:
Seedhar -Lv.16-> Buddhi -Lv.32-> Pavana
Pokédex entry:
"The blooming lotus on the top of its head represents this elusive Pokémon's spiritual maturity. According to legend, Pavana's soul has attained the ability to reincarnate indefinitely on this world by becoming one with the universe, sometimes coming back as a human being. Whenever Pavana fully opens its train of feathers, it mesmerizes whomever looks at the eyespots on their tips. Scientists claim that works solely as a defense mechanism or as a hunting tactic, but mystics believe Pavan uses this method to share its knowledge about the universe with those it deems worthy."
I hope you like it, leave your comments and critique!
Also, I have Pavana's base stats more or less planned, but I don't have any idea about Seedhar and Buddhi's, and I'd like suggestions for height and weight.
