Pokémonday voting 45 (11-20-2023) (Patreon)

Hi, welcome to the forty-fifth Pokémonday voting post!

Last week's prompt was:

...ideas for a new Pokémon that evolves by using a Dawn Stone!

Really hard to pick four this week, even harder than normal. I'm still not sure if I agree that Combee and Salandit need male evolutions because I think a big queen-like female-only evolution is an essential part of their concept and a male equivalent kind of ruins that, but we'll see if I can manage to keep that concept intact while still adding an evolution!

And now it's time to reveal last week's winner!

Prompt: Ideas for a Pokémon you can only catch by fishing!

Winning idea: A Pokémon based on the trope of catching garbage instead of fish! (by Haelerin, Generic hero, Lord Circe, Captain Rocko, Plubcol, & Nocallia)

Runner-ups:
2: An oarfish Pokémon (by Nathaniel McKay)
3: A dogfish Pokémon (by Isaac Anguiano)

Pretty clear winner this week huh? Definitely had to sacrifice some hours of sleep but I like this little guy. It's based on a Garra (nibble fish) by the way. I figured it'd be similar to finding a Poké Ball that turns out to be a Voltorb: you fish, you catch a piece of garbage, but then the battle theme starts and it turns out there was a Garrabage in there. Gotta collect all three pieces of garbage!

Thank you all for your creative ideas and good luck to the ideas in this poll! May the best idea win!
