Do you guys think Fakemon ever affect actual design decisions made by gamefreak?

Like if they have an idea for a new pokemon, but they find a similar fakemon so they scrap their idea? I ask this because I don't think I've seen a new Pokemon that looks like a fakemon ever.

Well you haven't been looking hard enough, there were a lot of similar Fakemon to official ones that came after, though it's usually because they're based on the same concept.
James Turner said on Twitter that staff are prohibited from looking at any Fakemon

That could just be a bullshit statement he gives to the public to discourage people from making fakemon by making fakemon-creators think that GF will never ever even see their designs.

You gotta think that after they've completed a design they check around to see if it's too similar to something online. I refuse to believe they actually NEVER look at fakemon. Do you have any examples off hand of fakemon that look similar to officially released pokemon, but came before? I'm interested.

>>37288257
This sounds likely.

Fakemon in a game called solar light and lunar dark had pink and blue gendered jellifish before Frillish and Jellicent were a thing, they even have a king and queen theme to them as well, they also had a blue duck turn into a swan fakemon too, just like Ducklett and Swanna. Even if some pokemon look like fakemon that come before them, it's because they've had the same idea for the same creature turned pokemon.

Uh, no. It’s a legal reason. They don’t want to get sued for millions by someone for creating a Pokémon too similar in design to a fakemon someone else already created. All creative companies have this policy, it’s an insurance move. Magic the Gathering people are prohibited from looking at fan ideas for new cards, too. It’s to protective themselves from, well, you.

The rules against them looking at fakemon mean jack shit when every single one of the younger designers will have grown up looking at fakemon on their way to landing that job. They've all had years of fakemon influence.

They probably do have people doing that. They might not be part of the designing team though.

It's already a rule at GF for artist and creaters to not actively look for Fakemon designs.

It would be impossible to completely avoid getting influenced by fakemon and other monster designs, unless you were banned from all social life and the internet
Needless to say, that would be North Korea Gulag type shit

Some of time ago I saw a fakemon called Talonflame that was done before the actual Pokemon. Maybe it was just a coincidence since it's such a lazy name for a fire bird monster.

When I was really young I used to get a pokemon magazine that had a 'create a pokemon' segment, and I remember seeing a Leafeon in there that looked uncannily like the one they introduced in gen 4. That said, I actually wish we'd see more fakemon-inspired pokemon in the main games. There's a lot of fangames - uranium especially - that have some top-notch designs.
