Regional Variant Concept -- Genesect [Art by Lay]
Another Regional Variant! This time, I made a variant of the Paleozoic Pokémon -- Genesect!
-- Yes, I know it doesn't make very much sense when taking the lore of Genesect into consideration, but I've heard people talk about Genesect being possibly related to Kabutops in some way. I don't know very much about Gen 5, and I've heard that it's got a great story and deep characters. But I am personally only familiar with the ~Pokémon~ from Gen 5, not so much the characters the story revolves around. The Regional Variant I've come up with is a Rock/Bug type, as supposed to the Bug/Steel type we officially know. I implemented some features based on a dead battery, with the wires being broken and the rocky parts of the body being partially damaged, to go with the ''ancient robot'' theme I was going for. I also gave it blades akin to something like a Mantis, and I turned the eyes into some kind of crystals, referencing the fact that crystals are often found inside rocks. I could've made this monster part-Electric type due to the battery thing I mentioned, or maybe a Ghost type due to it carrying a ''dead battery''? But I eventually decided to stick with tradition and made it a part-Rock type, as many Fossil Pokémon tend to be. It might be considered a bit of a lazy choice by some, but I think it still fits this monster.
