(If this blog needs to be in a different place, feel free to move it. Thank you!)
For four months, I was busy with a Pokémon fangame. The titles are… Pokémon Ochre and Pokémon Jade!
Generation: 9 (for now)
Region: Meihua (Meihua = “plum blossom” in Chinese), based on China
Currently, no designs for the characters exist, if anyone’s willing to draw any for me (as I am a massive abomination to drawing lands), then thanks a bunch! (I used Google translate for a lot of the names) Branch evolutions are to be introduced, so keep an eye out for them!

The entire Pokédex will be listed in a separate reply.
No clue what to do for the evil team. I’m not wanting to make it offensive or controversial
The names I picked for the protags and others are:
Edit: Had to remove the spoiler tags since they weren’t working; also, I’m also making a whole soundtrack for these games, I don’t know how I’d be able to make the Pokémon sounds for it, sadly.
Another edit: I think I fixed the spoilers. Just in case you say something about the multityping (starters), I did not base any of it on the Sinnoh starters or make knockoffs. I only realized the Sinnoh starters are also based on the Chinese mythology last night rereading the Wikipedia page and realizing they were.
Another edit: The spoiler tags aren’t working at all, so I removed them.
Final edit for now: I remembered what the other part was

- Korian City: coriander, Xi’an
- Cardamom Tower: cardamom, the tower in Xi’an
- Anise Town: anise, Taiyuan
- Belmace: mace, Beijing
- Fighting/Fire evolution for Pancham (this is based on red pandas)
- Ground type Copperajah (inspiration: the Chinese elephants)
- Fire/Ghost type Vulpix and Ninetales (its inspiration is Chinese foxes from myths)
- A Psychic/Dark Gardevoir (inspiration is Chinese performers)
- The entire Oddish/Gloom/Bellossom line changed to Dark/Grass (inspiration: the peony) and if you try to evolve a regular Gloom in this game, it’ll be Vileplume
- Evolved forms of Sawsbuck depending on the seasons it evolved in (the design never changes depending on season):
- Floramusk, Grass/Fairy (Fairy since Chinese spring blossoms, represents Spring)
- Flamusk, Grass/Fire (Summer as it is associated with hot weather and Fire is hot)
- Autumusk, Grass/Electric (Autumn, and Electric is yellow while autumn leaves can be yellow)
- Icemusk, Grass/Ice (obviously)
- Another Ekans evolution, Poison/Ground Arbok (based on Chinese cobras)
- Two evolutions for Ambipom to turn into based on game (Franpom, Dark/Normal for Ochre; Phaypom, Grass/Normal for Jade); both are based on langurs
- Regional form for Hoothoot and Noctowl (Rock/Flying, based on Chinese owls)
- Another evolution for Paras: a regional Parasect (if evolved in a certain area, it’ll evolve into a Bug/Fairy Parasect and not a Bug/Grass Parasect); regional Parasect will evolve into Parashroom which is also Bug/Fairy
- Legendaries: one exclusive to Ochre (this monkey king based Pokémon, a Fighting and Psychic type), one exclusive to Jade (snow leopard Pokémon, Ice and Psychic type), and with a trio master-like one that is based on a Chinese Dragon (which is a Water and Dragon type, but Dragon is its primary type and not related to the Water starter in anyway)
- All Kanto, Alola and Unova starters make a return; starters that get regional forms are the Grass (Kanto), Fire (Unova), and Water (Alola) types
- Venusaur becomes Grass/Rock (it’s likely based on rare frogs in China)
- Emboar becomes Fire/Electric (may have something to do with Chinese elements??)
- Primarina becomes Water/Ghost (it is based on Chinese opera singers)
- The Turtwig evolutionary line and Ho-Oh return
