#Pikaclone

[gooompy]

Can't have a Fakemon project without a Pikachu clone, them's the rules!!

Decided to keep this guy relatively basic and conventional looking, realistically I imagine this design as marketable plushie bait that's gone through 20 rounds of focus testing on 8 year-olds and parents

For some reason, my ADHD brain decided to hyperfixate on Gorochu recently, and what a missed opportunity it was. Since Pichu basically robbed it of its potential place in Pikachu's evolutionary line, there's no realistic way for Gorochu to be reintroduced into the franchise without coming up with some brand new unnecessary game mechanic or something.

But then I started thinking "What if Gorochu was a brand new Pokémon altogether?" And I don't mean like another Pikaclone. This is Gorochu we're talking about, it deserves something better. I'm thinking it should be a Mythical/Legendary Pokémon with a clear connection to Pikachu akin to Diancie and Carbink.

The lore would go something like this:

"Gorochu, the Thunder Mouse Pokémon. Legend has it Gorochu was once an ordinary Pikachu that was transformed after being struck by lightning from Arceus. Everywhere Gorochu goes, terrible thunderstorms follow as it drums its tail against the ground to psych itself up for battle. As the most powerful Electric-Type in the world, not even Thundurus, Zapdos, or Zekrom can stand up to its might."

I think it's a pretty cool concept even if it probably will never come to pass. I would at least settle for a regional variant. (Sigh) But a man can dream.

An extremely normal Pikaclone line! There's nothing odd about him at all!

Introducing MIXCHU, MIXACHU and RAICHENSTEIN respectively - man's effort to construct the perfect lil rat to call your own when you can't choose a favourite!

A Pawmot design that I made for @/ethanol on Toyhouse as part of an art trade game! This was my first time drawing any of the Pokémon in the Pawmi line, and it made me like them a lot more.

I would like to request Raichu! Pokemon #026 :)

did you know raichu discharges excess electricity by digging its tail into the ground?

i've never really Gotten raichu's design, it feels very disconnected and flat to me so i hope you don't mind that i took a few design liberties. i think the ears are really distinctive so i leaned into that long thin spiral for its patterns and motif

Which Pikachu clone is your favorite? Original recipe or one of the others?

Remembered this idea of a pikaclone based on a Rock Hyrax. Decided to draw this

I drew the Magnemite line as emojis for an upcoming video.

Mokira (Electric/Ground)

The Electric Mole Pokémon

“Its vision is very poor. With the feelers around its nose, it senses electricity, searching for buried cables to nibble on.”

“It feeds on electricity, sniffing it out with its powerful nose. During lightning storms, hundreds will emerge from their burrows to feast.”

My Piklone fakemon, based on batteries and star-nosed moles! Its name comes from mogura (mole) and kirakira (sparkle)
