This, I think.
Yeah, don't get why it changes its concept from "aggressive jackalope" to "rabbit monster thing only drunk people can see"

I think they are cute. But they don't look like starters to me. More like random encounter pokemon. I think the lightning bolt on the blue dino is overdesign. I feel like base evo starters should be a bit more simple. But maybe that's just me.
The green cat thing looks awful with the cyborg bits and the weird pattern like an ugly 70s shirt.

That's actually kind of neat. It's based on a "wolpertinger," which is the German version of a jackalope. It's a winged rabbit with deer horns and deadly fangs + claws.

This Spheal looking ass.
Oh, and did I forget to mention it's supposed to be a Mythical Pokemon?

How is it mythical? Did that Dark and Windie guy design this one?

I think it's supposed to be in the same vain of Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, etc. Thing is, most of those pokemon had a sort of theme or design philosophy that made the design work. This just look like a random cutemon you'd see mid-late game.

I mean, the rainbow peacock and the mermaid look kinda cool. But everything else... eh.

What in the world is that black and bright red thing in the middle? Even the inside of the eyes is red, it looks like something straight out a Virtual Boy game. And then you have the top left three, which look like already-existing mythicals if you feel like reaching enough (the pink one looks like Mew while the grey one has a shape really similar to Celebi's).
While some of these designs look like cool mythical ideas (like the mermaid Yakuri mentioned), if these are all supposed to be mythical Pokemon from the same region that is a bit of a problem, because there are too many. Mythicals are supposed to be, well, that, rare.

They're all from different regions. Hard to tell, I know. Alot of his regions have the issue of being hard to distinguish due to the lack of improvement throughout them.
Legendary Pokémon

Another thing is that the "design origin" text for the fakemon end up being just a sentence. Like, for example, "Cognasidor is based on a wyvern." From what I know from this sentence, it's just "wyvern, but with psychic powers". Pretty sure most legendaries have their inspirations from legends or religion.

Fifteen generations of Fakemon, goodness sake!They're all from different regions. Hard to tell, I know. Alot of his regions have the issue of being hard to distinguish due to the lack of improvement throughout them.
Here's the legendaries. Some are decent, but most of them suffer from the trios looking almost identical and the "boxart" legendaries being pretty plain.Legendary Pokémon

And it is sad too because the creator is good at using the Sugimori artstyle. Maybe I am too optimistic when it comes to artists featured in this website but I see a lot of untapped potential here. I guess most artcows follow the same pattern of having potential to go far with their work but decide to keep on producing the same cookie-cutter, souless work that was what made them popular in the first place.
These descriptions talk about a "canon" and about different regions, yet do they do anything else other than designing Pokémon and putting the most basic of info in this Wiki? Regions in Pokémon often follow a theme, and while I see duo/trios and some sort of "lore" being implied in these short descriptions and Fakedex entries that's all. Just a bunch of loose concepts with no real connections to each other, and I don't see a reason for "generations" to exist if nothing ties them together.
This thread may have poked fun of of Midnitez-Remix 's work, but at least the chick shows concept art and ideas for regions and some sort of worldbuilding instead of only the empty shells of Pokemon designs with bits of potential to them like this other artist is doing. Their AU Pokémon region concetps sound pretty silly (austistic even), sure, but at least there are also maps, mockups, character designs and ideas the creator wants to flesh out. Still pretty autistic but gotta give credit where credit is due.

Making a Pokemon form based off of the Australian forest fires raises awareness now, apparently.

First time being vagued about as a KF user and it comes from a Fakemon artist? Oh well.
Why waiting for people to ask questions instead of just being more open about one's creative process and PROVING everyone who talks bad about you wrong? But I guess vaguing about it on Twitter for sympathy and retweeting things about it is easier.

Yeah he's posted another tweet similar to this. If you haven't heard, he's had a history of being trolled by 4chan because they think his designs are awful. He's even attempted to "troll" /vp/ back before by making a "good fakemon" thread showcasing his fakemon. I wish that thread was archived for viewing pleasure but it was scrubbed off the internet.

Call me a cynical but how is drawing Pokemon dying form pollution and climate supposed to help the environment?
Yeah yeah i know its for awareness, but feel like if these artists really wanted help the environment they could of picked up trash at there local park or donated money to a charity that is helping out with the Australian wild fires.
Plus these give my some PETA vibes.

I guess they saw Galar Corsola being dead bleached coral and ran with it. If OP was in charge of designing that, though, it'd be a Corsola dying horribly from coral bleaching.

So...coping for never being as good as they think they are? Isn't this what pretty much every cow/cow adjacent person says? "Everybody dislikes me, even though I did nothing wrong" combined with never being able to point out there own flaws and only presenting claims that they disagree with. Victim complexes are a warning sign if anything.
15 generations of legendary Fakemon, a good few of them having an interesting concept, but no actual lore attached to them seems pretty indicative of wasting potential and not thinking past design.
