Welcome, one and all, to the Takara region, somewhere between Kanto/Johto/Hoenn/Sinnoh and Isshu! You'll find all kinds of new Pokemon here, plus some old friends! Every update i'll be including some Pokemon, and when the Dex is completed, some info about the region and its environs. If you wanna make up new moves, be my guest! I suck at making those
So, without further ado, let's begin!
UPDATE 1: THE STARTERS
#1: Wacks
The Mushroom Pokemon
Grass/Poison
Ability: Overgrow
(Named derived from the act of "waxing")
Wacks live in colonies. They like to socialize, and are a popular Pokemon for beginning trainers because they are patient and willing to try new things.
#2: Wayn
Mushroom Pokemon
Grass/Poison
Ability: Overgrow
(Name derived from the act of "waning")
(evolves from Wacks at level 15)
Wayn are unpleasant and nasty. They will sometimes invade Wacks colonies and take over by force. However, in the hands of a skilled Trainer, they can be used as a formidable battler.
#3: Mushelium
Mushroom Pokemon
Grass/Poison
Ability: Overgrow
(Name is derived from the words "mushroom" and "mycelium")
(evolves from Wayn at level 34)
Mushelium are very secretive, and are rarely seen. Their spores are so potent, they can knock a Wailord unconscious.
This line is based off poisonous mushrooms, particularly the chestnut dapperling.
#4. Sparkipilr
Fire Worm Pokemon
Fire/Bug
(Ability: Blaze)
(Name is derived from the words "spark" and "caterpillar")
(based on caterpillars, specifically those of the Monarch butterfly)
Sparkipilr eat a lot. One individual was recorded as eating twice its body weight in one day! They will not stay in this stage for long: they will soon evolve into Chrysflagr.
#5. Chrysflagr
Fire Shell Pokemon
Fire/Bug
Ability: Blaze
(Name derived from the words "chrysalis" and "conflagration")
(evolves from Sparkiplr at lv. 13)
Chrysflagr do very little, mostly just sitting still, waiting to evolve. The temperature inside Chrysflagr's shell is a blistering 398 degrees, and flames flicker out of it from time to time.
#6. Lepyro
Fire Butterfly Pokemon
Fire/Bug
Ability: Blaze
(Name derived from the scientific order butterflies are in, lepidoptera, and pyro, the Latin word for fire)
(Based on a Monarch butterfly)
(evolves from Chrysflagr at lv. 29)
Lepyro are common, friendly Pokemon. Once a year, an enormous swarm of Lepyro performs a migration to the Isshu region, where they stay for three months before returning to Takara.
#7. Tadson
Tadpole Pokemon
Water
Ability: Torrent
(Name derived from the words "tadpole" and "son")
(Based on a tadpole)
Tadson enjoy training to fight more than anything. Some Tadson will spend as much as 12 hours a day training.
#8. Amphibout
Tadpole Pokemon
Water/Fighting
Ability: Torrent
(Name derived from the words amphibian and bout)
(Based on a frog undergoing metamorphosis)
(Evolves from Tadson at lv. 14)
Amphibout like to gather every so often for fighting competitions. These are usually for fun, but during the mating season, males often hold tournaments over a female.
#9. Buffo
Champ Toad Pokemon
Water/Fighting
Ability: Torrent
(Name is a pun on the scientific classification for toads, Bufo, combining it with the word "buff)
(Based on both a toad and the appearance of Roman boxers)
(evolves from Amphibout at lv. 37)
Buffo are serious fighters. In Buffo colonies, the strongest battlers serve as the leaders. Conflicts between tribes are often settled through boxing matches between the colony leaders.

What do you think? I'm rather proud of what I put together.
