Entry:
Ripities are born from souls stuck inside their own gravestones, eternally lamenting their fate and loneliness at night with ghastly cries. It creates ghostly figures to lure people near its home, longing for some company, and if someone gives it some flowers or offerings, Ripity will cherish it with eternal gratitude. Breaking the tombstone doesn’t actually frees it, but instead releases a confused and lost spirit into the wilderness.

A late October fakemon, now FINALLY being posted. Oh well.
I'm kinda surprised a tombstone pokemon wasn't done my Gamefreak themselves already... Sheesh.
Not much to say about it. This was a hard design to pull off, a lot of sketches were done until people could empathize with it. I'm pretty fond of the result, and much glad it's finally out of my system.
Well, hope you all liked it, and see you guys next time!

It's a pity that we've yet to see it evolve (and/or never will) into Mausolegion. Such a good concept too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mausolegion is basically my Half Life 3 at this point.
When I eventually get back at doing some fakemon I'm going to back to it, I hadn't scrapped it or anything. I just need a design I don't hate.

I understand that. It's hard to finish when you can't exactly get it just how you want it. Don't feel pressured on my account, take all the time you need. Don't give up!

Not at all, I'm very glad people are still interested in it after so long!
But yeah, exactly because it's been so long that it's a bit intimidating to come up with a design that lives up to the expectation!
Someday, someday...

What do you think Ripity's evolution will look like?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
His evolution is one I've been teasing for years now, but never got to properly finish it... Well, it would be named Mausolegion, and I think it's pretty clear on what it would be based on. XD
A bunch of Ripity who clustered together and then became a single giant fakemon. Still a ghost/rock, of course.
One of my watchers made this really neat fanart a while ago of how he imagined it to be like, and well, I can guarantee you it's somewhere along these lines!

But, does Mausolegion evolve?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In theory, no. It's a two -stage pokemon only.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
His evo is almost an urban legend at this point, I've told everyone about it, the concept and name has already been decided for almost a year but I've never went and finished the drawing itself.
Soon it shall become an inside joke here!
Jokes apart, I've tried multiple times to draw it by now, but I'm never quite satisfied with the result, so it has been shelved god knows how many times now.
It's the exact same problem with Squorm's and Brandish's evolutions as well, I've yet to manage to draw something that I think looks good enough.
Ripity has been one of my most sucessful fakes, so it also puts a lot of pressure for the design to be as good as I can possibly make it.

I can help you brainstrom if you want

Oh, thanks, but as I've said, the concept is pretty much done for a long time now, I know exactly how I want it to look, I just never managed to make it look....Good. It's simple as that. It's a matter of me just sitting down for a couple hours and start sketching until something looks good enough.
If you scroll down the comments here a bit, TwistedToonTaylor linked to a quick sketch he did of how he imagined Ripity's evolution would look like, and actually, it's pretty along the lines to what I had in my own mind in general, definitely not an accurate match, but not that far off too.

It makes me think of pokémon like creatures I drew : the first was a living tombstone that could move like a Diglet, and which could control the roots surrounding it (Plantomb), its upgraded version was a walking coffin which could swallow the life energy and do telekinesis with bones (Caskevour). I was planning to make another one which would look like a walking mausoleum, but I scrapped this idea ^^' (his name was something like Mausoloathing XD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I coincidently also based it on a tombstone monster I created a long time ago! XD
Unfortunately it doesn't evolves into a coffin, should've thought of that one, but it indeed also evolves into a mausoleum! XD
Formed when many Ripities cluster together, it should be called Mausolegion or some sort.
But I'm still struggling a lot with the design, turning a freaking mausoleum in a coherent pokemon design was harder than expected...

I see your point, mine had a large mouth for an entrance, full of fangs and spitting ghosts, and a big paw on each of its four corners, like some old fashioned bathtub XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Didn't even cross my mind to give it feet, that was a nice one. XD
I'm going for the "gate as mouth" thing as well, but the collumns and roof are giving me some problems...
...Not that I've been trying a lot lately or anything...

Is this one ever going to have an evo? It looks like it could evolve further.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It does have an evolution, the Rock/Ghost type Mausolegion! Unfortunately, turning a Mausoleum into a pokémon design has been much harder than I initially thought, so I'm still trying to this day...
One day, one day...

Mausolegion
It's a bit blurry but I doodled an idea for what Ripity's evolved form could look like after directing you to another artist. X'D
An idea for a possible design struck me and I had to put pen to paper. It's not the best and the perspective is a little wonky but I did what I could.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It actually turned out pretty good, I really should say you nailed it! My idea really is something along those lines!
It reminds me of the Black and White door opponents in Pokestar Studios in Black/White, which now that I think about it, are also very good references for it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I mainly looked to Ripity's design while looking at pictures of actual mausoleums but I do see the comparison to the doors.
I hope the pic can assist you in creating the true Mausolegion.

I did help me solidify the direction I should take with it! Thanks a bunch!

yay!

Ooh yeah I can see why. I suggest looking up someone called locomotive111 here on the site. They have a way with turning inanimate objects (mainly vehicles but still) into Pokemon. Looking at their art may help Mausolegion get off the ground.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do follow him already!
He does make some.....Unique fakemons, to say the least (he really seems to like trains, huh?), so he's already serving as inspiration from time to time, still no ideas for Mausolegion though... Although I do have a car-themed fakemon in mind, so I guess I know where to search for references now lol. I think Darksilvania is bit more what I'm looking for.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sweet! And yeah he likes trains : P
Ah yeah Darksilvania is the master of creepy fakemon.

First the Peacock Fakemon, now a tombstone xD
Yeah I got an idea for a tombstone Pokemon (well, not really a tombstone exactly, but more like a cowardly spirit holding a tombstone for a shield that turns into a grim reaper with rock claws).

And it's probably not going to be the last time either! I know the feeling, I'm just kidding. XDDDD
This exact week I was planning some designs, and I needed to do a fakemon that represented Italy somehow, so I though... "Maybe an oven fakemon will do! It's stereotypical, but it works. I've seen a few already out there, but maybe I can do something original out of it." ...The following day a guy I watch posted a design that resembled an oven fakemon, and just after I went to see the fakes from a watcher of mine and he had also done a oven fakemon!...And then I decided to search for it and saw how many of them have been done already... Ouch.
But well, an tombstone pokémon is kinda of a obvious ideia, I mean, how haven't Gamefreak done that already?! (I'm doing a lot of obvious ideas btw.) Many more tombstone fakes exist, so I would say your ideia is actually quite more creative about it than mine or from most actually! XD
Just go for it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True. I also got an idea for an evolution for Farfetch'd (WOW, HOW ORIGINAL!), that trypophobia lotus, a maned wolf, a lamb that turns into either a walking ball of wool or a killer Spartan ram, a blue jay turning into a blue jay eagle, etc
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I approve any and all evolutions for pokémon from previous generations, no matter how many times they've been done already, your own interpretation is what counts! I myself am planning for some evolutions, maybe even one for Farfetch'd myself!
And I'm going to do a maned wold fakemon myself as well!
I'm thinking about it being my fire starter, but not sure about that yet, but with a brazil themed region and all I'm obliged to do one sooner of later.
And I do remember your lotus idea! And for the ram might I suggest it becoming a BATTERING ram? ha....haha.....All right, I'll shut up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
On top of the Farfetch'd evolution, I also have 4 Eeveelutions planned (well 3-a friend of mine is supposedly making one), and a baby form for Aerodactyl. I have a drawing for a Corsola evolution-but I'm gonna remake it one of these days (the design is way too similar to Corsola)
Well, the maned wolf is gonna share Golurk's typing-Ghost/Ground. Reason why, well I wanna make a spiritual canine Pokemon, and while my region is inspired by Greece, Rome, Egypt and the Mediterranean, a maned wolf is just too good to pass (plus, they introduced Pancham and Pangoro in a region based on France, and Turtonator and Komala in a region based on Hawaii; so it's not too much of a stretch to have a maned wolf Fakemon in a region that's not based on Brazil).
Yeah the lotus one I'm having trouble with the design. At first I was thinking of something like Sudowoodo, but with the seed pods for hands. But I feel that's a little...too unoriginal.
And as for the ram...well, that's kinda not the basis. The anime movie Ringing Bell is-if you haven't seen it I recommend it (though it is heart wrenching).
(P.S. if you wanna continue in notes that would be great)

It would be in my team. It's better than that sand castle thing GameFreak released for Sun and Moon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much! ^__^
I actually like Sandygast and Palossand quite a lot! I thought it was inevitable with alola's tropical setting, but it's still a freaking sandcastle, and I can easily see why so many people dislike it. XD
...Why a tombstone pokemon isn't still a thing I'll never know...It's such an obvious idea, I was betting sun and moon would have one. o.õ
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Keep up the awesomeness!
(off topic) What's up with all the new features for Sun/Moon? Ultra beasts, Z moves, Alolan forms... They went all out on this one, the fact that there are (trainers) Red and Blue...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would say there's quite a lot of reasons for all that.
First of all, at least to me it's pretty obvious a Pokemon Z or something of the sort has been shelved up in favor of 7th gen. We've got elements like Zygarde and it's forms in a game that doesn't have anything to do with him, Z-moves, which can't have a name like this for no good reason, Magearna, who at least to me has way too many conections to Kalos to be something that was planned especifically for 7th gen (like, a passing resemblance to Diancie, a Poke-ball theme that matches with Kalos having a Poke-Ball factory and have been built centuries ago in a game that actually uses a similar time period to it's storytelling)... etc.
On the other hand, well, it's Pokémon's 20th anniversary, and that's a big thing, so it was obvious that a lot of pandering to the first generation was going to be made. Let's not forget the boost in interest that Pokemon Go gave to the series this year, a lot of people who are only familiar with the firsts generations are returning to play it, so again, yet another reason for loads and loads of fanservice.
And lastly, we have the elements that were especifically developed for Sun and Moon, the Ultra Beasts (my favorite thing about this generation) and Alola forms, this last one being not only another load of fanservice and great marketing for the game in of itself because of everyone's familiarity with 1th gen, but also an incredibly clever and cool way to add new pokemons while still not bloating the national dex more than it already is, something they seen to be keenly aware of and struggling to manage looking at gen 6 and 7's lackluster number of new pokémon.
But well, in the end, the only stuff that matters in the long run are the gameplay additions, like Z-moves, because we know all too well the rest is going to all but be discarted in gen 8 like GameFreak always does...
I'm still very upset with the lack of new Megas...Discarding them just like that after them being the focus of a whole generation

Those are some good points you´ve got there. I wish I could play Sun/Moon 
Thanks for taking the time to write such a long response.

Typo: The second listed ability should be "Aftermath".
And I'm willing to bet that one of the evos will be named "Gloomstone", yes?
