>>33305002Combining an animal idea with a Japanese monster makes it all the more real, good on you.
>>33305029>Where are you getting that from? There is nothing in it design or dex description that links it to Fairy rings. The only connection is that it is Fairy type.Well, yeah, that is the only connection. But think about it; would they have set out to make a Fairy-type mushroom pokémon without knowing what a fairy ring was? Plus Morelull's SM website entry says something about it linking roots together with others of its kind.
>We already have a unicorn though.Nah, melarkey. Rapidash is a horse that's on fire and also has a horn on its face, (and I love it.) It has none of the symbology, mythology or even the 'general vibe' of a unicorn. There's plenty room for a Fairy one that plays unicorns straight, maybe as a Rapidash regional variant
>But an Alicorn could perhaps be better for Fairy/Flying than a pure Pegasus. An Alicorn would be a nice, neat way to knocking out both unicorn and Pegasus out in one go, yeah. They could do that.
To be honest, I'd also really like a Ghost horse. Y'know,there's a lot of stories about dark shadowy steeds with equally shady riders. Like the 4 horsemen of the apacolypse, the ringwraiths from LoTR, or the headless horseman. Have it be a little skeletal. You see a lot of skeletal horses because the skeleton of a horse is just really cool-looking and dragonish. Have the Ghost horse and the Alicorn be counterparts, I suppose, so we can knock out all our horses in one generation.
