Icetope was conceptualized as an atomic winter pokemon and Chillnobyl had a much different design before the slug
Mawasite was waifu material and a bug female in a fish carcass like a mimic
Yaccuma was conceptialized as a Victorian lady + Sea nettle jelly and then became a blue jelly lady akin to Lilligant, before being repurposed and turned into one of the three spirits
Fettlekish was designed with Aquatank heartless design in mind
Oscar "Shadini" was inspired off an OC ringleader character named blair who had a cirque du mystique themed gym.
Raptor was a fucking faggot
I know because I conceptualized and designed all of the above
