In Rusbel, you will find the Grass/Fairy Type regional variant of Applin. These Applin are coated in a highly delectable and sweet coating, which has the unique ability of enamoring anyone who smells it. While the Galarian Applin are merely hiding inside the apple, it appears the Rusbellian Applin has fused with its apple from birth, making the two effectively one and the same, though many still theorize that in the apple's core, this Applin's true form still sits.

Once fed a caramel apple, Applin will evolve into the Apple Delicacy Pokémon Appletun! Appletun are highly playful and energetic Pokémon despite their heft. Appletun are especially liked by Children due to this playful nature and the sweet taste of its constantly regenerating coating. They love to playfully lick anyone they meet. Their tongue is covered in a cider-like juice that is said to taste indescribably sweet. The sweet coating on its back has been used as filling in cakes and other pastries for centuries.

If Applin is fed a Poison Apple, it evolves into the Grass/Poison type Pokémon Flapple! The toxic nature of the consumed apple makes Flapple a much more dangerous and irritable Pokémon. Their infusion of poison chemicals into their usual secretions make them much less desirable for the consumption of predators. They also spit toxic ooze stored in their cheeks to not only distract and dissuade predators, but also to incapacitate prey. Because of this more sour behaviour, Flapples are often depicted in cartoons and films as sidekicks to villains.

Meet the Normal type Skittish Pokémon, Weesher! Due to being easy to train and catch, Weesher are often given to young trainers as their first partner Pokémon. While their teeth are sharp, they rarely bite humans, especially if given a proper chew toy. Weesher are predators who primarily hunt Harpine, however, due to their aversion to loud noises, they are oftentimes scared off by it and forced to cling to trees in fear. Ironically enough, they are also afraid of heights, which can make getting back down very hard.

Weesher evolves into the Ambush Pokémon Wolvishous. Wolvishous use their long, retractable claws to scale the trees of the forests they inhabit. They use this skill to ambush prey buy jumping onto them from their perches. Surprisingly, Wolvishous and Punkture aid each other, with Punkture's loud and entrancing music luring in potential prey and distracting them, allowing Wolvishous to ambush unnoticed. When young trainers' Weesher evolve into Wolvishous, it is common for them to be released as they tend to be very high maintenence for beginner trainers living at home.

Introducing the Psychic Type Star Cat Pokémon, Felux! In the past, finding a Felux in the wild was said to bring upon a curse of rotten luck. They were said to be dangerous pests and their owners were labelled witches and persecuted. Nowadays however, it is known that having a Felux around brings good luck to its trainer. It is speculated that Felux get this great fortune from stars.

When a Felux harnesses the power of a Sun Stone, it evolves into the Psychic/Fire Type Sun Cat Pokémon: Staramese (Solar Form). This form of Staramese emanate heat and light from their tail that strongly resembles a star. They are quite prideful Pokémon, always wanting to be the center of attention.

Introducing the Electric/Normal type Dust Bunny Pokémon, Pelushock! These very small pokémon make their homes in unused corners of houses and behind furniture. They like homes because they give them easy access to electricity. They use their static electricity to attract dust to cling to their body as insulation and as extra conductors for their electric attacks. Despite this, they are mostly safe to touch as their shocks are mostly harmless, though it is important to be aware of the danger of allergies. They reproduce remarkably quickly, being able to overun a home in a matter of months if given the chance.

This allows them to see into the near future and also read the minds of any trespasser. They also use this abiity to communicate telepathically with their Patrat minions.

Introducing... Pokémon: Winds of Change!

What is Pokémon: Winds of Change?

Many months ago, I was invited into a discord server where a handful of people were starting to plan work on a Pokémon fangame based on the Rust Belt. Seeing as I had a backlog of Fakémon, I joined and shared some of them with the project and began to take an active part in the planning process. I gave it its name, I came up with a few mons, I wrote a bunch of story for it and, most importantly I made designs for a lot of the planned mons. However, as often happens, people left the project and others stopped working on it until I was the only one doing anything at all. However, I did make a promise that I would get this project to see the light of day in some way, and while a fangame seems so very far at this moment, I can still show off my work. Who knows? Perhaps in the future, I can bring this project back to life.

Welcome to the Rusbel region!

This region is based on the Rust Belt as the name implies. I will avoid going into too much detail over specific locations in this post as to not overload anyone reading. This map is, of course, a little archaic and unpleasant as it was supposed to be purely utilitarian, but it gives a good idea of what the region is! You might have noticed it, but Rusbel also borders Unova! We had the idea to include Unova as a post-game area, sort of like Kanto to Johto, but with a smaller scope of course.

Pokémon

Of course, you can't have a Pokémon game without Pokémon, and we had quite a few! In our sheet where we kept every concept for the region, we had a little over a 100 Pokémon planned for the region, including brand new mons, regional forms and brand new evolutions. Of course, not all of these reached the point where they received designs, but many did! And those are the ones I will be showing off. Of course, any of their designs are still somewhat rought and sketchy, but I have attempted to clean up quite a few to present to you.

To placate you for now, meet the starters of Rusbel! The Grass type Herbeaver, the Fire type Bipestle and the Water type Shylter! Which would you choose on your journey through Rusbel, trainer?

Characters

There were of course fewer characters planned than Pokémon, and fewer designed, but that doesn't mean there weren't any! I will be showcasing the handful of characters I designed for this region, their role in the region and plot and maybe more!

In the meantime, why not meet the plucky young trainers that would embark on their journey!

Want to follow the Winds of Change progress?

Simply follow the #rosesrusbel where I will be posting any updates and stuff for this project, from pokémon lines to characters to maybe even plot details! If you enjoy, and want to contribute in any way, I am open to questions and messages if you want to contact me!

Until then...

May the Winds of Change blow in your favour trainer!

Meet the Normal type, Spiky Pokémon: Harpine! Harpine have very precise control over their quills, allowing them to use them to create resonant vibrations that resemble music. They use this ability not only to communicate between each other, but also to scare off potential predators, particularly Weesher. They are also highly sensative to sound and can notice even the slightest variation of harmony and beat. Each Harpine is said to have an individual sound that is unique to them and their music.

Harpine evolves into the Normal/Steel type, Metal Quill Pokémon Punkture! Punkture use their metal quills to create loud and chaotic music. They are incredibly energetic Pokémon, almost always geting lost in the groove of their music. This can be dangerous as they may lose awareness of the danger posed by their sharp metal quils. Punkture are very communal Pokémon, living together in groups of 4-7 and often putting on loud concerts in their forest territories. Punkture are incredibly popular among the youth of Rusbel, not simply for their music, but also for their shed quills which are often integrated into fashion. Despite their sharp teeth, Punkture are actually herbivores that eat the roots and bark off of trees.

Punkupine's unique ability, Metalhead, turns all sound based moves Steel Type and grants them a 1.2x power boost.

Commonly found in caves in the Rusbel region, it's the Rock/Bug Type Pebble Larva Pokémon, Pebbillar! They hatch from eggs laid inside of rocks, which they use as armour during their vulnerable larval stage. Their large eyes allow them to see well in the dark caves they are born in. They eat a lot of moss to prepare for their evolution.

Pebbillar evolve into the Protected Pokémon Rockoon. Once a Pebbillar is ready to evolve, they begin to create a hard rock shell to serve as strong protection for their pupating bodies. The bodies of Rockoon are covered with bright and colourful crystals gathered by Pebbillar before evolution. These crystals can come in varying colours, and the colours are said to match the personality of the individual Rockoon.

There are 4 main colours Rockoon crystals come in, Purple, Cyan, Green and Orange.

Rockoon evolves into the Gem Fiend Pokémon Scarabore! Upon evolution, Scarabore emerges from its old rock cocoon and begins to pilot it as a form of defense and offense. It can fire strong beams from the crystals on its shell, which can break boulders apart. Scarabore use this ability to hunt for gems to collect and to protect itself from its primary predator, Sableye. The colours of the beams fired by Scarabore are determined by the colour of the gems on Scarabore.

Introducing the Flying Type Sharp Feather Pokémon, Shpike! Shpike make their nests atop of the trees of Rusbel's fields and woods.

They sometimes even bully young Shpike into helping them build these nests. Even when seeking mates, Impail will never let anyone into their thorny abode. The sharp nature of these homes makes it dangerous for any Pokémon to tread too closely to these lairs. Impail are very prideful Pokémon, taking impressive care of their sharp feathers and head crests to impress other Impail and their trainers.

Impail evolve into the Cruel Pokémon, Obskewer. Obskewer decorate their elaborate thorny lairs with the lifeless bodies of their prey, both to intimidate potential threats and to use as food for later. Their lairs are so intriquite and dangerous that it is said that travelers who venture inside their homes either on purpose or by accident are never seen again. Their unique wing joints give their wings more dexterity which allows them to fully utilize the sharp feathers in combat. Despite their reputation, Obskewer are actually surprisingly easy to train, and their behaviour towards trainers and other Pokémon is noted to be very corteous.
