NSFCD Pokedex - Starter/Legendary Discussion

[Kayo]

We should talk about the starters and stuff there now so we can post more final results here without arguing.

I just thought of an idea.
How about, if the trio is just regular Pokémon? Except ancient. You find them training on their own, and then they end up being like, a new evolution of a Pokémon, except not because it takes centuries to reach the evolution requirements or something. Like, Maybe a Machamp was training in the mountains centuries ago, and you find it still training, and when you see it, it's basically a brand new Pokémon. Difficult to explain my idea exactly.
IDK, just an idea.

My idea is, if this is a trio, it should be 1 is a Pokémon that evolved twice already, 1 only evolved once, and 1 didn't evolve at all, and the "master" is a Legendary that trained, thus not even supposed to be able to evolve.
The idea is, regular Pokémon that trained enough to be considered "legendary." And all from different generations.

Except then they wouldn't be that rare. Like Feebas. Rarest thing ever in Gen III, suddenly Wi-Fi trade means everyone can get one effortlessly.

Also Nayr, the quickest way to get into the room is to use NSFCD's IRC clien- hurk we don't have it.

Go to http://irc.chatspike.net/webchat/ and enter your screenname in the first box and #nsfdex in the second.

[Nayrman]

Erm. Ok, I'm there.



Any thoughts on my ghost idea?

[JrDude]

Pokémon Like Genesect and Mewtwo, there's only supposed to be 1 of them since they were man-made. Yet there are (or will be) hundreds due to video game logic.

New idea sparked in Chat with Rob and Nayr. No one agreed on it, but what do you guys think?
Legendary horses.
Pegasus-based - Flying
Some water horse Rob mentioned - Water
Some demon horse Rob also mentioned - Dark

Also sort of based off of Zeus, Poseiden, and Hades.

I like the idea, what about you peeps?

[Nayrman]

In addition to Jr's idea, I had my ghost trio idea expanded.

Ghost/Flying Bat, Ghost Large Wolf, and Ghost/Water Phantom (Mist). Basically it's based on Dracula and the forms he can take (in various tales and media) The fourth could be a ghost/psychic witch, and be the cute legendary.

[The Riddler]

Pegasus is Zeus' horse.
Hippocamps are Poseidons horses.
Orphnaeus, Aethon, Nycteus, and Alastor are Hades' dark horses.

[FruitFlow]

Strange. I'm not sure why, but I always thought that Pegasus belonged to Heracles.

[JrDude]

Strange. I'm not sure why, but I always thought that Pegasus belonged to Heracles.

I think that was just the cartoon version, though I could be wrong. He was created by Zeus though.

Now that I think about it Nayr, those don't seem like they would be "legendary" to me, but more like Throh and Sawk type Pokémon. Though that may just be me.

So, we all up for the Legendary horses?
If so, the order would probably be:
Dark Horse
Water Horse
Pegasus (Fly Horse)

Because Zeus is God of Gods, and Hades was tricked by Zeus, which leaves Poseidon's in the middle.

[FruitFlow]

Yeah, from what I recall in the cartoon it was given to him as a gift when he was a baby.

[JrDude]

I am in chat again if people want to brainstorm or anything.

[The Riddler]

I feel that once we get the starters and legendaries down, all of the middle pokemon will be a breeze.

My only problem with the horses is that Flying/Water/Dark doesn't feel trio-y.

Maybe if it were Electric/Water/Fire
(Zeus, Poseidon, Hades).

Then it'd just be a rehash of Gen2 though.

Electric/Flying
Water/???
Fire/Dark

just for some variety?

They're all so different from each other type-wise, that they work awesomely in my brain.
And anyway, nothing about Pegasus says electric to me.
And there are already 2 legendaries that are Electric Flying, both part of a trio, we don't need a 3rd, even if this is all fake.

Zeus' horse. Electricity.

A direct copy of Pegasus may be lame anyway. If things are *based* then it's cool.
