==Fanmade Pokémon==
==Fanmade Pokémon==
It is not unusual for fans to create their own fake Pokémon for pure amusement, often creating new [[type]]s (such as Sound and Light) and [[move]]s as well. These are usually openly displayed, usually on fanart websites or in [[ROM hacks]], and known about as being fake. Sometimes, however, one may be assumed to be a real Pokémon by another fan, depending upon the skill of the artist and the gullibility of the fan.

Some common fanmade Pokémon ideas include:
* In general, any Pokémon based on any real animal, plant, or mythical creature that not yet been represented in Pokémon at least once in official material
* If fans are unwilling to create original fake Pokémon, they will likely create the following:
** Any fanmade evolved or baby form for an already-existing Pokémon that currently doesn't have one. Common examples include:
*** Any fanmade Eeveelutions based on the nine remaining types that have not yet represented by actual Eeveelutions yet
*** The baby form of Kangaskhan being its own separate species and evolving into the adult Kangaskhan
*** A cattle calf Pokémon acting as a baby form that evolves either into Tauros and/or Miltank
** Any fanmade alternate form for an already-existing Pokémon that currently doesn't have one. Common examples include:
*** Mega Evolutions (from Generation VI onwards)
*** Regional Forms (from Generation VII onwards). Originally, such only included Alolan forms, but starting with Generation VIII, this expanded to also include Galarian and Hisuian forms.
*** Gigantamax Forms (from Generation VIII onwards)
** Fusion Pokémon, where two or more Pokémon are literally fused together to form a new, more chimaera-like creature (so far, only three Pokémon, Kyurem, Necrozma, and Calyrex, are capable of fusing with other Pokémon). It is highly possible that the "Venustoise" created by the Gastly featured in the episode EP020 may have inspired this form of fanmade Pokémon.
** "Crossbreed" Pokémon, similar to "Fusion" Pokémon, only that said Pokémon is simply just recolored to resemble another Pokémon.
** Pokémon with fanmade pattern variations.
** Sometimes, fake evolutions for already-revealed Pokémon from upcoming generations are often created long before their "real" evolved forms are even revealed.
