Edeland's starters seem a bit familiar, but unique...!
their gimmick is that each one aids in a form of travel

a convergent variant of the dreepy pokemon line. they are the grass starters, with the final gaining fire type.
Creevy is convergent of Dreepy. it has a leaf mask, with its body resembling a vine.
Draklant is convergent of Drakloak. it has a partially transparent mask and motif which resembles the chinese lantern fruit. it inflates its mask like a hot air balloon.
Dreppelin is convergent of Dragapult. its body is brightly colored and patterned, with wispy fire. it can inflate its transparent mask to resemble a zeppelin or airship.

a convergent variant of the beldum pokemon line. they are the fire starters, with the final gaining water type.
Beldulum is convergent of Beldum. it is bright red and crablike, and has a clock motif. it uses a large gear as a wheel to ride on.
Metanic is convergent of Metang. it's orange, and now runs while holding two gears. it has a divot on its back and eyebrows shaped like clock hands which can be used as handles.
Metacloc is convergent of Metagross. it now uses four large arms to hold wheels and drive around on terrain. it's 'fueled' by water, and meant to be a bit steampunk in nature.

a convergent variant of the dratini pokemon line. they are the water starters, with the final gaining grass type.
Driftini is convergent of Dratini. it resembles a jellyfish, with gelatinous body and frills. its face is made of crescent shapes, like a moon jelly.
Coralair is convergent of Dragonair. it has grown coral and algae on its body.
Coralite is convergent of Dragonite. its tail, wings, and the top of its head are made of a heavy coating of mossy algae, and it has dewdrop gems scattered among them. its antennae, wing structure, and hands are made of red coral.

Considering it's been a bit, I'd figure I'd post about my pokemon project (@pkmnshsm.bsky.social) again.

It's just a small pokemon region that I've been working on for about 4 years now, and I really want to show more for it soon!!!

There's a new type of trainer in town: meet the Berry Farmer! They're one with the berries as their Pokémon love to hold them during battle. Whether they're raring to battle or not, Berry Farmers love to share their surplus with trainers such as yourself. #fangame #fakemon

The player defeats a Berry Farmer trainer in a Pokémon battle.

A Berry Farmer trainer is defeated in a Pokémon battle and shares a berry with the player.

A Berry Farmer explains that berries are automatically planted.
