Wendigo Pokémon (finally!) + prompts for week 36 (poll fix) (Patreon)
Content
[Fixed the poll again. It's automatically set to single-choice and you can't change it after the post has been published, really annoying. Sorry about that!]
Hi everyone, hope you're all having a great weekend. I'm back to showcase this week's Fakemon and collect prompts for future Fakemon! There are no restrictions to the ideas you are allowed to suggest, but I particularly like Fakemon ideas that have something to do with current events or releases!
Finally! After being in the poll since January, Punching Cat's idea of a Wendigo Pokémon has taken form:
I was recently made aware of the fact that some people from indigenous tribes are tired of a creature from their folklore/mythology being used by people outside of their culture, but I also had a hard time denying everyone who voted for a Wendigo Pokémon in the polls after being in the running for long, so I really hope this isn't offensive to anyone. If it is, I humbly apologize!!
Leave your own suggestions in the comments and/or choose your favourite idea from the poll below. I'll make the most popular option from the poll for next week, unless there's something relevant happening in pop culture that I want to reference via a Fakemon.
Let me know if you have any questions!
PS: I've sorted the poll by the most popular choices. If I don't put your idea in next week's poll it doesn't mean I don't like it, but that there's a reason why I don't think the idea would work (for example: me not being familiar with the inspiration or the idea not matching the Wooden Plank audience). In that case, I suggest changing the idea. I occasionally trim the fat from the poll by removing choices that consistently get few votes.
