A Special Project
a month ago
Been a while since I made one of these. Not sure how many people will see this, but oh well.
I got this project I'm working on that I figured I'd get more help for on this site given how more...out there people are compared to on DA. It's something I call Buljemon, an AU of Pokemon that takes place billions of years after the main series, during which Pokemon have hyper-evolved to become supermassive beings that now populate outer space, most of which has been molded into equally huge natural environments for them to live in. Humans, or their equivalent in this AU, are no longer the only ones who capture creatures, but other races they have aligned themselves with too, going from Pokemon Trainers to Buljemongers.
I don't expect to make an actual game out of this (mainly because Nintendo & Gamefreak will tear it down the instant they see it), but I thought it would be fun to work on after coming up with it, so if anyone would like to help out with it I'd be much appreciative of it. If you CAN help out, reach out to me on Discord (NexusConglomeration / ultimaherald), though if you don't have it we can talk here through Notes instead. Designs, gameplay, locations, anything you can come up with would be helpful.

(Fun Facts:
- The idea for the series came to me during a conversation I had with Redstreak (who is a friend btw) involving the Phobos Walker from Pokemon Link becoming more intelligent, using the Poke Ball container on its back to create a gigantic Pokemon and become its own Pokemon Trainer. The idea of huge, stronger Pokemon sounded interesting upon further thought, which led to the creation of the Buljemon concept.
-- Another inspiration for the series came from the Appmon series from Digimon. For those who don't know, Appmon are a subspecies of Digimon found in the Digital World's Net Ocean, and have their own evolutionary stages. Buljemon was originally planned to be something similar, with the creatures being from an AU where Pokemon started off as supermassively huge & powerful beings, but later changed to become a future variant of the species.
-- The other idea behind Buljemon is that they are meant to represent astrological creatures such as space whales & similar entities from fiction, including but not limited to the Brethren Moons from Dead Space, Galactus (to some extent) from Marvel & monsters such as the Behemoth from Stellaris, which Redstreak told me about.
-- The last piece of inspiration for Buljemon (and by extension the humanity of this AU) is from series/stories based on evolution over a long period of time, which my friend Redstreak had been telling & showing me examples of. Given the aspect of Pokemon being based on nature & evolution (at least in my eyes), this felt appropriate.
-- Lastly, the name, which is pronounced "bull-zheh-mon", is a corruption of the word "bulge", which is the opposite of "pocket" in that it refers to something that "swells or protrudes to an incongruous extent", referring to the ridiculous size (among other things) of the creatures. Redstreak jokingly called them "Hugeomon" when we were talking about the Pokemon created by the Phobos Walker. XD
