This is a project me and Fishyface are gonna do together, so we'll both hopefully be posting art here. Fishy's gonna do the official artwork but I've been giving her some sketches to show her my ideas, since I'll be coming up with most of the ideas. First off, a brief history of the Gronno region.
The Gronno region is located close to the Johto and Kanto regions, but father south. The climate there is usually warmer than average, but not too hot. One could wear anything and be comfortable here, and it is known to have a casual, laid back community. Gronno is a very natural place, with more forests than villages, and it is home to mostly Grass types.
And now, the art, if you can call these drawings art...
Meat Professor Tamarack. (This is the worst drawing of the bunch but I'm showing it first anyways.) Professor Tamarack is a very kind, calm man who is not easily startled. He tends to be seclusive due to the fact that he does not get along with any of the professors from the other regions. It all started a few years back when Tamarack made the decision to change the Gronno region's starter Pokémon. This earned him a bad reputation as an indecisive man who changes his mind frequently, which is not true. Deep down, Tamarack is desperate for companionship but is too busy to be in a relationship. He tends to keep new trainers for too long with his talking simply because he is lonely. Professor Tamarack offers the three starter Pokémon of the region, Kangather, Amphin and ______ (will edit this when I think of a Fire type starter.)
Gronno region's Grass type starters, female with the pink flower and male with the green. Kangather, the Grass starter. Kangather is a small Kangaroo Pokémon that has an obsession with nature, especially flowers. Kangather will pick any flower it can reach and if it likes it, will stuff it in its pouch. Tame Kangather are very loving creatures and will share flowers with their trainers. The color, shape, and size of the flower on the end of Kangather's tail varies with each.
Amphin, Gronno's Water starter. Amphin are independent creatures that love to be off on their own exploring. Amphin prefer the water, but have tiny stubby feet that allow them to walk on land too. Their large tail is their most prominent feature, and their primary means of defense. In the water, Amphin flaps its large tail to rocket off at speeds of 30 MPH. It cannot flap its tail while moving, however, and gets around by making several pushes, stopping often.
EDIT:
Luminut, a random Pokémon obtainable early on, I guess like the Seedot/Lotad of Gronno, except they only have one evolution so far. Luminuts grow trees on their heads. The bigger the tree, the stronger the Luminut. Apple-like fruits grow off the leaves of the tree, and they glow if exposed to the dark. The fruits are said to taste "like apples, only way more delicious" and, if picked, they should be eaten quickly as they rot fast. The apple on top of Luminut's head does not come off or rot, and will shine brighter than the others when in the dark.
Luminut's unnamed evolution. Luminut's tail has split in two and the two tails are used to whack the fruit off of Luminuts. The evolution has a berry tree on their head and Luminuts feed on the tiny berries, while allowing their evolution to eat their fruit in return. After evolution, Luminut lost the ability to glow and instead gained improved hearing.
