Ever wanted to make your own fakemon? Stay tuned to these tutorials to find out how I do it, and you may start to as well!

Step 1: Basic Idea
So, start off with a simple idea. Lets say- a clownfish. Then you may jump to step two if you are done or can add another thing to combine it with. I'm not combining mine with anything. But you can think of anything that would fit nice with it.

Step 2: Type
I always do types second. Just think of types that would match it, like for a plant, obviously grass, or a fish, obviously water, like for my clownfish. Then you may add another type or skip to step 3. If you are adding another type, you can add another that makes sense, or something out of the box. I am going to do Water Psychic for my clownfish.

Step 3: Name
Now you should name it. Name it something do do with these two factors: What it is, and its type. I personally write a list of words I could combine to make a name.
Here is a list for my clownfish:
Clown \
Fish    |
Joke   |- What it is
Trick   |
Mime  /
Water \
Sea     |
Ocean |- Its Type
Psychic|
Psy      /

Then I combine two. I'll call mine- Seaclown. That was a rushed name, I know you can do better 

Step 4: Its Appearence
You have to know what it will look like to make it. Just imagine it in your head and write it down. Seaclown will be a round body, that is orange, with black and white stripes. It will have eyes but no mouth, and two fins, a tail, and a dorsal fin.

Step 5: Its Moves.
Make up some moves that fit with it and put them in order on how they level up.
Seaclowns:
-Sweet Kiss
-Tackle
4 Bubble
9 Water Gun
15 Healing Wish
21 Bubblebeam
27 Hypnosis
35 Telekinesis
42 Hydro Pump
48 Aqua Ring
54 Aqua Cannon
60 Psycho Cut

Step 6: Its HMs and TMs:
Pick some TMs it will learn. For Seaclown:
Psychic
Dream Eater
Rest
Calm Mind
Reflect
Light Screen
Brine
Rain Dance
Endure
Toxic

Then the HMs it can learn. Seaclown's:
Cut
Surf
Waterfall

Step 7: Its Ability
Pick and Ability it can learn. Seaclown will learn Torrent and Cute Charm.

Step 8: Its Pokedex Info
It needs size, weight, and a sentence about it. For Seaclown, it will be 15cm. It will weigh 2 pounds. Its pokedex info will be:
'SEACLOWN swim in groups of 8 to 25. If a predator comes near, they will all scatter in many directions. '

Step 9: Its Egg Group
Pokemon Need Egg groups. They tell what it can breed with. The egg groups are:
Mammal (Mammals)
Fairy (Cute ones like Cleffairy)
Reptile (Reptiles, Amphibians and Dragons)
Monster (Creepified reptiles and mammals)
Blob/Gas (Gases, Blobs, Ghosts)
Fish (Fish)
Sea Mammals (Whales, Otters, Dolphins and Seals)
Sea Crustaceans (Shrimp, Crabs and Lobster)
Insect (Bugs)
Mineral (Rocks, Jewel and Metal Chunks)
Humanshape (Humanoid pokemon)
Winged (Birds and Bats)
Ditto (Ditto and Ditto Rip-offs)
Plant (Plants)
Genderless (Genderless)

Seaclown of course will be Fish.

Step 10: The Bodyshape
Pick what bodyshape it will be listed as in the pokedex. The bodyshapes are:
Head (Floating Heads)
Head and Arms
Head and Legs
Head, Arms, Legs and Tail
Head, Legs and Tail
Insect
Winged Insect
Fins
Fins and Tail
Multi Bodied
Snakelike
Bird/Batlike
Humanshape

Step 11: The Evoloution
First, choose if it will evolve. If it won't, your done. If it will, read on.

Evolving a pokemon isn't making it bigger and slapping on some angry eyes. Add on new features. Even change its bodyshape completely.

Then choose how it will evolve. It can evolve with a stone, at a level, when traded, with happiness, or in a certain place or time.

Seaclown will evolve into Psykoi at level 20.


So now you have a great fakemon! Stay in tune for part 2, on how to Sprite your fakemon.
