For those of you who may remember, here is the previous attempt at a community custom-gen project.
This project however is not aiming to be so broad as to be an entire new generation, but rather a shadow of the SmashCAP in making custom Pokémon, but following the lay-out made by the games (starters-filler-legends-etc) and without such a focus on the metagame. In other words, this is a community center to share your custom Pokémon ideas, whether it be for fun or to add to the competitive game (we will be adding the SmashCAP pokes to the dex).
Pertaining to the "model" mentioned, we will need the following:
3 Starters
You know the deal, grass-fire-water. We will need a vote on what to use, as I am sure everyone has an idea for at least one starter. I personally plan on making each of the final forms a type combination not seen by any other starters, but it's not that set-in-stone yet.
Filler Pokémon
The next step is the filler Pokémon you see between the starters and pseudo-legendaries (except Garchomp..)For an idea of how to fill this, keep in mind the average number of types per generation:
Normal: 20
Fighting: 6
Flying: 16
Poison: 13
Ground: 12
Rock: 9
Bug: 12
Ghost: 5
Steel: 7
Fire: 8
Water: 23
Grass: 14
Electric: 7
Psychic: 13
Ice: 6
Dragon: 5
Dark: 6
Fighting: 6
Flying: 16
Poison: 13
Ground: 12
Rock: 9
Bug: 12
Ghost: 5
Steel: 7
Fire: 8
Water: 23
Grass: 14
Electric: 7
Psychic: 13
Ice: 6
Dragon: 5
Dark: 6
This counts both pure and split types. We should try to follow a similar model (or diverge slightly) as it reflects how rare or common certain types are.
How this will work is simple: If for example, we get flooded by ICE types, seeing as they're a rarity we will vote on which submissions will fit into our Dex in order to reach a goal of about 150 Pokémon.
For further info about the types, the list of Pokémon by Type and unused type chart shows all current and non-existent type combinations.
Legendaries
The slightly more fun section, we will need a Pseudo legend or two (usually the premiere dragon type), a Trio and 1-2 ubers or other legendaries. As with the starters, we will vote on these ones, and they will come at the end of the pokedex. It would be nice if we get new ubers/legends that aren't part psychic or dragon for once...
Miscellaneous
Things such as ideas for a new region, new plot, etc can also be suggested if you have ideas for them. After all, what's a new set of Pokémon without a new chapter of the Pokémon lore?New Moves are also encouraged as they are as iconic as new Pokémon, especially if your Pokémon comes with a signature move! Just be sure to explain the move, and not just slap it on as "Super Tackle" or something.
The same goes for your Pokémon, make sure you explain what they are and anything significant about them. For example, you post an idea for a fish Pokémon:
Make sure you have it's name, type (besides just water if necessary) and a bit of a bio like a pokedex entry of sorts. You will also probably want a picture of your Pokémon, or something relating to it (if it is based on a creature or such). Stats and move-pools are optional.
And most importantly, have fun!
