Fakemon That Look Legit

[Oriden]

What fakemon art have you seen that you think would fit perfectly in the franchise?

Be sure to link to the artist!

For me, the ones that come to mind are-

This Fire-type rabbit starter by Heliolisk:

It has the art style right and a rather clever design that seems to use smoke as inspiration for its fluffy tail! Much better than Scorbunny.


And Owlnimous by zerudez:

Again, a very good imitation of the art style and a very sleek design combining an owl with a skull/ghost motif. Even has a clever pun name to fit.

The pre-evo, Skowl, works well too-

 

[Beer&Nyquil]

Wow I love those owls tbh

 

[Emmy]

Sad to say that I’ve never seen a Fakemon design that looks legit.

This actually feels like something I could see Gamefreak creating.... If Lucario, Decidueye, and Zeraora didn't already exist

Man, yeah, if it wasn't for Decidueye and Zeraora, I could see that. The toes are still kind of weird to me for a cat, but otherwise it's a really solid design! I don't want Sprigatito to stand up but if it did and became that, I wouldn't be too mad about it.

That Flying/Ghost owl looks badass. Honestly i prefer it over a lot of the designs in recent generations, specially in Gen 8 (i really didn't cared for some in this generation).

I honestly feel like Skowl could easily work as a regional variant of Hoot-Hoot while Owlminius could be a new Evolution

Fake fossilmon that look legit:

This one is based on Dunkleostus, a fish specie from Paleozoic. Better than all the garbage fossils Galar introduced:

Another Paleozoic specie, that scorpion like creature is an eurypterid:

What about some Ice Age species? Look at this mammoth:

More Ice Age fakemon. This woolly rhino and that specie that shows up on Ice Age movies from Pixar are awesome, they look lights ahead of galarian fossils:

Not a fossilmon, but still great. A Psychic/Rock Galapagos Tortoise. It uses its brain to control rocks and atack its enemies. Awesome concept.

i would take Gigantusk over Copperajah any day because it looks miles better if we are comparing two mammoth/elephant based pokemon.

Same for the other fossils when compared to the last ones we got. Which is a shame because Gen 6 had amazing fossils, the best ones in my opinion.

Oh yeah definitely, Gen 6 had the best. Hopefully 9 will give us another set of good ones. Maybe a mammoth and a sabretooth, or some other mammal. A paraceratherium could be cool.

Speaking of Scorbunny, Do you think this would've been a better design than the one we got?

(This also just made me realize that we don't have any Rabbit Pokemon that actually LOOK like Rabbits? Cinderace, Lopunny, and Diggersby all look more anthro and Azumarill still doesn't look like a Rabbit apart from the Ears)

Gawd yes. That's adorable. D=

And also yes- why is it the only thing with a proper cottontail is Audino?? All the other rabbits just got lame stubs.

It looks cool, I like the concept but for another Pokémon. I don’t want my kitty to turn like this.

Sad to say that I’ve never seen a Fakemon design that looks legit.

So as far as like trying to fool people into thinking it’s real, I get what you’re saying. But I do think people have gotten a lot better at imitating the art style and we’ve seen some really cool stuff come from it.

Pokémon Cardinal by Hoopsandhiphop and other Pokétubers like them have done a great job at bringing some of these talented artists to the forefront, and honestly I appreciate them more when they don’t try to pass it off as real and just let the designs shine on their own. I’ve made a couple of fakemon in my lifetime but I know my doodles are never going to reach that level.

This fakemon look legit to me:

Ancient Porygon by: Gooompy

I really like the concept behind it, I can see something like it in future Legends games.

=O Oh that's pretty cute.

 

[Scruffyjay]

The ones that always struck me as most real-looking are the ones from a project where the artist explores an alternate reality where Clefairy was the mascot instead of Pikachu, and thus had Clefairyclones instead of pikaclones:

I love those mons! Or maybe I'm just biased because I love owls in general

 

[Oriden]

Oh, just reminded myself of some more I think would fit.

The Flying-type eeveelution in this old obviously fake CoroCoro scan-

Fake scan by RocketHaruka on DeviantArt

They did a pretty good job imitating the style, and I think the Flying-type eeveelution would work pretty well for an official design.
Really disagree on the Dragon-type one, though. It just lacks that eeveelution appeal.


Or this Flying-type eeveelution-



This one doesn't quite fit the artstyle, but the design is really solid.

Normally I don't care for earwings, but if we ever get a Flying-type evolution for Eevee, I feel like with the shape of their ears, it'd be a natural fit. Almost necessary, even.
