Project Norra ( Pokemon Region )

I apologize for the slight delay! But here’s the result of the contest~! There were plenty of good entries and it was hard to pick a winner, but with the help of a friend and giving it some thought i can announce the result:

The winner is @hedgehogtime, with their entry Shiefrost, feel free to contact me about the rewards when you have the time and i’ll get to working on the art in the meantime! 

Rifttide Island

A island off the coast of Norra, a place rarely visited because of the difficulty getting there. Every once in a while a ferry travels between the two places, the ferry strangely doesn’t have any crew and seems to travel on its own. At this point people have given up trying to ponder why. The island itself is said to be unstable in its form, only the area around the shoreline seems to stay the same, but the mainland has a odd flow to it. Here many Pokemon can be found, some not even native to the region itself, some said to have been extinct. The most prominent Pokemon around here is Tockitten and it’s evolutions, who appear to be under little influence of the regions strangeness. Perhaps because of their affinity with time.

Puffup Cliffs

Named after the Pokemon Puffup which make their home here, these cliffs jut out of the sea and provide home to many Pokemon near the sea. It’s a tough climb through nests and jagged edges, but on top of the cliffs lays a village which allows visitors and trainers to stay for a while and watch for Pokemon outside. It’s illegal to disturb the Pokemon that are currently nesting, so trainers are only allowed to catch any Pokemon roaming the top of the cliffs or near the water’s edge - away from where the nests are perched in the cliffs themselves.

Not gonna lie, the thing I remember most about Norse mythology is when Loki gave birth to a six-legged horse, so I made one, haha.

It is either dark/ice or ghost/ice.

Dex entry 1: Its mane is made of a cold gas with snowdust in it. Touching the gas for too ling will freeze your hand.

Dex entry 2: The ice spikes on its head and tail can grow when it feels theatened. In extreme cases, it has been known to grow,ice spikes along its body as well.

Faquill are very knowledgeable and are rumours to have the answer to any question given. It allows those who have proven themselves worthy to as one question, but will only answer those who it deems worthy or at pure of heart.

Otherwise it will create a clearly false answer and scurry away.

It is located in a hidden library labyrinth which explorers will have to find and navigate by solving riddles, puzzles and other such things.

Those selfless enough to ask about Faquill or the safety/Health of another, will gain an oportunity to have Faquill join them on their adventure.

This is Gardrasil (garden/Yggdrasil)

The leaves on this little fella not only tries to represent different types of Pokemon (Fire, Electric, Ghost, Ice, Normal, Ground, Psychic, Grass, Water in that order from left to right) but it also plays on the idea of the Nine Realms in Norse mythology. The red and blue leaves on its head also are meant to look like elf ears since elves are part of the mythos. The typing is meant to play with the idea of the tree itself (grass) and the gods and legends (fairy).

I also had an idea that its special move allows it to use a move that is super effective against the pokemon it was sent out against/first encounter enemy to make sure its not too op.

Here’s my entry, It’s based on the fiddler crab, the fiddler beetle, and the Fossegrim with its carapace/shell resembling a tailed coat (the shrimp-like tail of the Pokémon is also the coat tail) and the single spike on the back of its head resembling slicked back hair, These are just ideas for the Pokédex entry so if this wins feel free to change whatever you need. (They’re based on the lore I could find.)

“When presented with a certain Pokémon, it will teach whom ever brought the Pokémon how to play music as well as it does.”

“The music it plays can make trees dance and water flow backwards.”

“It weeps sorrowful tears if its claws break, they grow back quickly however.”
