It’s a cat-moth-raptor-jester? I think?

Hey guys, welcome back to #XenoWeek at Miketendo64. In keeping with Xeno coverage, today we’re going to be sharing an article dedicated to the Slates that are discoverable in Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna – The Golden Country.

We had intended to do a full on guide pertaining to them, but I dropped the ball and deleted all my screenshots relating to them. I was hoping to rectify that by playing through New Game Plus and getting them all over again, only they carry over.

So, because I’d have to create an entirely new game and invest around 12 hours to find them all again, what I have been able to do, is return to each slate location and took some new screenshots. You will not see the slate (a red object with a beam of light above it) in the pictures, or be told which slate can be found in each location, but you will leave here knowing exactly where each one is:

  Lasaria Region Slates:

    Slate #1:

You can choose to purchase details of their location from the Nopon Halfsage, or you can check out our Golden Monsters guide to find them for yourselves, without having to pay.

We hope you find this guide helpful and are not afraid to help us in return, by telling us the name of the slates you find in which area, so we can update the above information to help out future readers.

    Happy #XenoWeek!

Been a long time coming but here are the full starter lines for my fakemon Hyber Region ☘️

Fawna - Deero (lvl 16) - Verdeer (lvl 36) - Grass / Fairy

Kelpup - Sirenori (lvl 16) - Phantide (lvl 36) - Water / Ghost

Burmoo - Cowelder (lvl 16) - Infurnox (lvl 36) - Fire / Steel

Let me know what you guys think :)

[hyber-region]

You’ll find plenty of Poffins along Hyber’s coast on your journey through the region! They’re a bit clumsy and prone to accidents but thankfully they’re protected by lifebuoy-like bodies! 🛟

Even with that extra layer of support their evolved form Herodon has its work cut out keeping their clumsy offspring out of trouble!

[hyber-region]

Punchipunk & Squarrel!

The fighting squirrels of Hyber! Like a lot of people I wasn’t impressed with galars squirrels so I decided to base my regional rodent off of their red cousins!

They’re native to Ireland plus were threatened by the introduction of grey squirrels by the British empire and deforestation. So having these guys ready to fight anyone that approaches their tree felt right :)

[hyber-region]

Flying / Fairy regional bird for the Hyber Region! ☘️

Robeen >> Hoopid >> Cladowl

Robeens are very common all over Hyber but Cladowls are a rare site. They are seen as mature and wise beyond their years - and very adept at understanding people. Young couples in the region sometimes seek out Cladowls to test their bond and a blessing from one can make or break a relationship. Those who have raised a young and inexperienced Robeen all the way to a Cladowl are considered impressive trainers not to be challenged lightly!

Robeen is a play on Robin and when you add ín (een) to the name of a young person as a term of endearment (ie the youngest Seán in the family would be Seánín). Robeens make excellent first Pokémon to add to your team as they’re loyal and love humans.

Hoopid’s name is probably easier to understand - just Hoot & Cupid mixed together. I like to think young Hoopids try to play matchmaker in local villages but still don’t really understand human relationships so are more of a nuisance that means well

Cladowl - I really liked the idea of the Claddagh rings inspiring this fakemon. The ring can have 3 meanings - love, loyalty, and friendship - so the best way to evolve your Robeen into the powerful Cladowl is to really nurture that bond.

The other inspiration for this Pokémon is the Lisdoonvarna matchmaking festival. It’s an old school festival that was started to help awkward farmers from the country find a wife. But it grew into a big tourist event and even caters to LGBTQ+ relationships which I think is pretty cool. Maybe your character would have to visit the festival as part of the story? Who knows I’m rambling now 😅

Welcome to the Hyber Region!

The setting for Pokémon Spirit and Soul, a fakemon region based on the country of Ireland and it’s myths, culture and geography.

Get to know the starter trio:

Fawna - the Adventurous Forest Pokémon

Fawna is often found traversing dense woodlands, always ready to lend a helping hoof to Pokémon and humans alike. Its playful nature and boundless energy make it an endearing companion to those fortunate enough to cross paths with it.

Burmoo - the Forge Apprentice Pokémon

Despite its skittish nature, Burmoo possesses an unwavering determination to help others. This Pokémon's timid demeanour often melts away in the face of challenges, revealing a courageous spirit.

Kelpup - the Seaweed Hound Pokémon

Kelpup has a tendency to get into trouble as it enjoys splashing water on any unsuspecting passersbys, but their endearing nature and loyalty make it a fantastic companion. Its seaweed ears aren’t only for show but also act as natural sensors for changes in water currents and temperature.

[hyber-region]

Trying to use colour more in my sketches so redrew my starter trio :)

[hyber-region]

Im thinking of changing my regional dog to a normal / steel type sheepdog, the first stage based on metal wool… in my head the pup Pokémon floats around happily but it’s second stage is a reliable farm dog

[hyber-region]

Been trying to work out a turtle / horse chestnut (conker) Pokémon line that starts ground type and ends ground/steel

[hyber-region]

Cattpilla - the rolling bug Pokémon 🐛

Cattpilla's most distinctive feature is its ability to curl up into a tight ball and roll around with remarkable speed. It is always seen carrying a web-like ball of yarn that if separated, it will stop at nothing to get it back.

[hyber-region]

001 - 003: Fawna, Deero & Verdeer

Are you ready to start your journey in the Hyber Region?

Fawna is a fantastic choice for new trainers! Loyal, friendly and possess a strong urge for adventure. They love helping others and will always want to fight for what’s right. Fawna is small but packs a punch and grows into the fun loving Deero and eventually the powerful Verdeer. A grass / fairy lord of the forest who smaller Pokémon will seek out for help in times of need.

The design was inspired by the old legends of the Irish Fianna - Celtic warriors somewhat equivalent to knights and always have a presence in Irish tales and legends. Another inspiration was Robin Hood as I always saw this line as forest vigilantes who want to help those in need. Fawna’s leaf cap evolves into royal floral crown by the time they become their final form 🍃 🌸

[hyber-region]

Promise I haven’t abandoned this project! I’m still very much in the sketching stage of a lot of my fakemon designs but it’s been so fun and interesting to explore these concepts! Hopefully I’ll post the starters soon and then get on to some favourites I’ve designed :)

[hyber-region]

Just a sketch of Hyberian Falinks regional variant! ☘️ ⚾️

The falinks in Hyber participate with their trainers in local sports along with the regional Honedge line. They’re less militant than their Galarian cousins but still possess a fierce determination to win above all else.

The reference for these guys is the sliotar, a small hard white ball used in the Irish sport hurling - made from horse hair and the helmets hurling players wear

Thank you @cheetour for the initial inspiration :)

[hyber-region]

Robeen - the Charming Songbird Pokémon 🐦

Commonly found in the Hyber Region, Robeens often form strong bonds with trainers who appreciate its sweet and loving nature. The heart-shaped pattern on its chest serves as an indicator of its emotions; it will glow brightly when it's happy or excited, and dim when it's feeling sad or unwell.

[hyber-region]

004-006: Burmoo, Cowelder & Infurnox 🔥

Burmoo is the fire starter of the region and the whole line is based on blacksmiths and the Bull of Cooley from Irish legends. Burmoo starts as a little apprentice, Cowelder is a skilled craftsman and Infurnox is the power behind the forge. I like to think even though they’re the tank of the starters, they’re really big softies and need a thoughtful and kind trainer to get them out of their shell :)
