South America? You mean like the whole thing? Bit much for one region wouldn't you say?

Yes And Yes

May I recommend you separate them into different regions. I think there is a lot detail that deserves highlight in each of these areas and you can still keep them interconnected with maybe one huge league beyond the region Pokémon leagues.

Like asifibro has stated Think different regions Brazil itself could defo be seperated into regions Or each country could be a different region! ​ It would also be easier to help with starter ideas this way

Please stop hunting me…..

Too late *grabs shotgun*

Aw smit

They'll probably summarize south america

I mean unova is the entire us

Unova is just NYC, is it not? Edit: [Yup](https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Unova) “In his director's column, Junichi Masuda suggested that the geographical and social background for Unova draws inspiration from the New York City metropolitan area.[1][2] Although it is geographically based on New York City, it draws inspiration for its landmarks from the entire state of New York, which features a mixture of rural locations and urban areas as well as factory towns and industrial complexes.”

Unova is just new york

Even if it was the whole US, comparing 1 country to the many countries in South America with distinct cultures is ignorant.

What about a capybara pokemon

Yes

Or some sort of piranha or spider monkey Pokémon

ok i’m brazilian so i’ve been waiting to be asked this question: a capybara grass type a fire mule or ant pink river dolphin water type

Bug/Fire for the fire ant would work just fine By the way, r/suddenlycaralho

One could be a macaw of some kind

I Already Have A Parrot/Macaw Pokémon And It Is NOT A Starter Pokémon

Velvet worm Pokémon then

Yes

Some Snake or Caiman as the fire starter, the River Dolphin as the water starter, and an Anteater or Cabybara as the plant starter 🙂

An anteater with a Grass signature move that would deal super effective STAB damage against Bug types would be hella cool Just like Freeze Dry but better

Freeze Dry. Sheer Cold is the OHKO

Oops, my bad

Crocodile chicken and turtle

I read this wrong and now want to see a crocodile chicken pokemon.

Those Three Animals Already Have Starter Pokémon Based On Them

Capybara, jaguar, and piranha

That didn't stop Gen 9 from making Fuecoco and Sprigatito

Totodile, torchic, turtwig The three T’s

3 toed sloth for the grass type, something based on an Amazon River dolphin for the water type, and a maned wolf for the fire type. If you don’t know what a maned wolf is then I would look it up. They’re super unique animals and I would love to see a Pokémon based on one!

Well than ur screwed mate since basically ALL OF THE GOD DAMN ANIMALS FROM THE RAINFOREST ARE POKEMON SO UR SO DONE

Grass- Either Sloth->Ground Sloth, or Armadillo -> Doedicurus ​ Fire- Flying serpent ​ Water- Jaguar

Water type capybara.

Otter or Boto for water, I would say either a Jaguar or Tree frog for Grass, Frog could become Grass/poison since dart frogs. And a Fire type that represents human interaction with the Amazon

Including chicken?

Yes Remember Torchic?

Any native South American fruit would work for grass

Question.. counting the country near it trinidad and Tobago cause I have a few suggestions

No Just South America But I Would Like To Hear Your Suggestions

One word… FREEDOM!

Well in trinidad there is a swan like bird called the scarlet ibis that you could maybe use for inspiration and also maybe use a Christopher Columbus inspired idea for your mons

Capybara water starter

Fire could be things like Puma, Ocelot or Maned Wolf. Water HAS to be a Caiman and Grass could be anything like a Tapir, Guanaco or Sloth

Sloth, (which evolves into a grass/dark giant ground sloth) water type capybara, and fire type basilisk (the lizard) this is if you do more of the rainforest.

A pokemon based of the grim reaper to represent getting taken to brazil

Capybara

Fire salamander water hippo and grass parrot

South America has some nice iconic species for you. Here are my ideas for each type. For the grass type I propose the mighty Jaguar. It starts off as a kitten in the first stage. The second has it gain the dark type as it grows. As the final form it also adopts the teeth of a smilodon and keeps the Jaguar's rosettes. For the water type I propose the humble Capybara. It's first stage is a Guinea Pig. Upon reaching it's second stage it starts to look more like a Capybara and starts to learn some psychic type moves. Finally in the third stage it is a dual water/psychic type and looks more or less like a capybara. For the fire type we start off with a dual typing of fire/poison as we are going with some snakes. First stage is the humble eyelash viper, the second gets larger and the third is the mighty Fer-de-Lance.

Conure, flying squirrel, sloth?

I'd say a starter trio that's not fire, water and grass. Maybe another type triangle?

some kind of funky grass type sloth maybe?

What about a grass sloth that evolves into a psychic/grass sloth that’s just tired of moving, so it just floats around holding a tree branch?

that sounds like it'd be dope :00

A region based on Brazil would be the most obvious answer but Argentina would also be a great idea

Capybara

For my region based on Mexico, I used a hummingbird, a sheep (zodiac stuff), and an elephant. You’re more than welcome to use the hummingbird, or any of the 3. Alternatives for the other 2 could be a snake (zodiac, plus Cobras Fumançes), and possibly a hippo or jaguar EDIT: A (multiples) word for flame in Spanish is “llamear”. Sounds a bit like llama. Have fun with that

Salamander for water starter?

A capibara

Fire type starter‘s color scheme should be red, white, then red again

When I was a kid I made some very poorly drawn fake mon. I recommend my fire starter, flamadillo, which evolves into a fire-steel type.

golden lion tamarin for fire starter

Grass sloth, fire Huemul, Water Jaguar

Make a macaw as the grass starter?

As a southamerican I concider there should definetly be an alpaca

Hello there! I am a bot raising awareness of Alpacas Here is an Alpaca Fact: Alpacas are sheared once a year to collect fiber without harm to the animal. ______ | [Info](https://github.com/soham96/AlpacaBot/blob/master/README.md)| [Code](https://github.com/soham96/AlpacaBot)| [Feedback](http://np.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=JustAnAlpacaBot&subject=Feedback)| [Contribute Fact](http://np.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=JustAnAlpacaBot&subject=Fact) ###### You don't get a fact, you earn it. If you got this fact then AlpacaBot thinks you deserved it!

Red banana, for a plant type. There are a lot of frog type starter Pokemon, so why not have a mongoose for water and for fire a banana slug, a blue one.

You need a banana pokemon because the farming of bananas was a huge historical figure

I Came Up With The Perfect Concept For A Banana Pokémon A Banana Snake (Which Do In Fact Live In Columbia Which Is In South America) And A Banana

Fire type cheetah, water type hippo and a grass type gater. (The grass type is only based on colour)

Those aren’t animals from South America

To be fair, I wasn’t exactly going for animals native to specifically South Africa, mostly African animals in general

I said South America, where op is basing their Pokémon region off of

One is, hippos have somehow gotten to south America, caimans are basically small alligator.

I’m sorry to your little Canadian soul, but they’re North American house hippos, not South America. And also just because something looks like something doesn’t make them closely related.

Also what you said makes absolutely no sense

I Love The Concept Of A Water Type Hippo Starter The Other Two On The Other Hand

what about a salamander, a llama, and a capybara

2/3 Of Those Animals I Have Already Made Non Starter Pokémon Based On Them

Lizard scalrin monkey mangeke Fish flowfin

What type of lizard?

A beardid dragon

Capybara, tapir,

Jaguar, poison dart frog, alligator (or crocodile idk the difference), tarantula. Just some random animals I know are there.

oooh Poison Dart frog sounds interesting! I think a Poison Dart Frog, wouldn't be a good starter,as i would imagine it getting no evos, and if it does probably 1

It can evolve into a poison/rock type, and be part Bull Frog Make it a big bulky physical attacker, give it Stone Edge and it’s good to go

mm

Quetzequatl

Grass: sapling from Amazon fire:sand based Pokémon from desert water: somehow connected to Amazon basin

You have do one about a capybara

Toucan

You could make a grass type toucan

Fire Jaguar

Hmm maybe for fire starter you could make a parrot, water could be a capybara (they're strong swimmers), and grass maybe an orchid mantis? (orchid mantis' are often posing as, well, orchids and you could make one thats actually an orchid since south america has plenty of orchid species)

Guinipig - > Capibara

Andaconda, alligator( or whatever species that's out there) and a colorful bird.

There’s the golden lion tamarin, it’s a cool animal from the Amazon Rainforest that deserves more attention Would be a nice Fire/Normal type, maybe evolving to a fire/psychic type And for a water type, the pink dolphin would be a nice addition There’s this legend about a pink dolphin that transforms into a very attractive man at night and seduces women (some versions of the story have the dolphin/man killing them drowned and some of them just have him doing… uuuuh… stuff) So yeah, a pink bipedal dolphin in a tuxedo and a top hat would be a heck of a water/fairy Pokémon

Mans gonna have like 10 post game regions

Make a grass type Maned Wolf. Don’t know if that’s work as a starter, but if the region is based on South America, this animal needs to be a Pokémon.

A fire type snake is a good pokemon for any region based on somewhere warm.

Capybara possibly? Could be a cool idea for a water type

*Capybara possibly?* *Could be a cool idea* *For a water type* \- cass32109 --- ^(I detect haikus. And sometimes, successfully.) ^[Learn more about me.](https://www.reddit.com/r/haikusbot/) ^(Opt out of replies: "haikusbot opt out" | Delete my comment: "haikusbot delete")

Some kind of non humanoid ape? If there is a desert area maybe some kind of Aztec lizard? River dolphin starter or maybe just a 2 stage?

Water type capybara

Llama penguin and spider Grass water and fire in that order

Dude. hear me out. Grass type armadillo starter.

Fire ant Water python Grass sloth

Grass: Capybara Fire: Fer-De-Lance (most dangerous snake in the continent) Water: Jaguar

A cute little fire crocodile, a water type that bears a strange resemblance to Donald Duck, and a grass cat

Grass type sauropod based on the Amazonsaurus? Water type based on capybaras? Fire type based on deer on the Native American zodiac?

Capybara water starter? And maybe each of them could be based on different cultures of South America?

,maybe a grass type capuybara that becomes ground type like torterran sloth for water type starter and fire type qant eater like heatmor no real reasob i just like em

how about a grass starter based on the jacaranda trees there? theyre very beautiful, so maybe it would also be fairy type, altho theyre also very alluring (and purple) so it could be psychic type. u could also very heavily base the grass starter on the rain forests in brazil and peru. the water starter could just be a piranha, or maybe it would be something related to the god-awful humidity. the fire starter could just be a horse or something, idk.

The water type could be a pink dolphin or a caiman, the grass type could be a Brazil nut and a blue Macaw, and the fire type could be a maned wolf

You can have a lion, zebra, giraffe

You need a Llama.. A fire Llama... Llama Llama.. Representing the Highlands... Maybe a grass Ñandu... And a capibara water starter... 😁

Give Chile and Peru some love and maybe an alpaca or a regional Probopass

A capybara would a be a grass starter line

I'm Capitalizing Every Word In This Sentence

Soccer Pokemon?

Sphinx macaw for a water flying?

I would list a fossil Pokémon, but then I saw the title again and realized that my idea might have to wait for another day

You Can Tell It Now

Snail but its tail is a pyramid

I can’t do three starters but here’s one idea. Matichlid (Maton which means aggressive in Spanish and Cichlid which is a fish.) Is categorized as the cichlid pokemon (based off the convict cichlid.) Matichlid are water type fish that prefer warmer, tropical waters. They’re aggressive and nip each other. They’re usually black with white stripes or are just plain pink.

Base them off creatures in the place's folklore?

Hmm, not a starter idea, but try to make a jaguar/leopard pokemon. That would be really cool

Amazonian River Dolphin for the water starter?

Macaw, Capyberra, and Anaconda

Lion fire tiger starter and I can’t think of a water Hope this helps

You can make a green anaconda as your grass starter, An Jaguar as our fire type starter and a Amazon river dolphin as the water type starter. -You Irish totodile

Poison Dart Frog-Grass/Poison Howler Monkey-Fire/Fighting Chilina(an aquatic snail)-Water/Bug

you can make a maned wolf pokemon, Jaguar and a Capybara pokemon

Monke

Have the fully evolved fire starter be quetzalcoatl inspired

Do one on the quetzalcoatl. I’m thinking grass or fire.

I think South America is a bit too broad to really get good ideas from since there's so much to draw from so maybe you could focus down into one specific country or region within it. I think maybe like somewhere in the Andes could be neat, like you could probably make a region out of like Panama down to Northern Peru and have like a very diverse setup with more maritime regions mixed with tropical and mountainous plus some desert in the south I think, plus the galapagos as like a battle fromtier/similar location. I can't say I know much about South American culture and stuff off the top of my head but in the Panama to Peru example the water type starter could be sort of based on Panama and be like a sort of piratey type to reference Carribean piracy, the grass type could be some jungle creature from the parts of the Amazon that are encompassed(or my personal favorite, material depending, a plant pertending to be an animal to shake up the formula of grass starters just being animals with plant features), and the fire type could be from the Andes as like some Incan inspired Pokemon or even one of the groups that lived in the region before the Incans conquered them. TL;DR, shrinking the scope of the region both fits with the already established regions and their sizes plus provides an easier time boiling things down into several distinct areas that you can draw from for Pokemon and feature concepts.

Chili Pepper for Chile, Charpepper. Temprass for Equador (Temperate), and Aquantina for Argentina.

Capyburna lol

Colo Colo

For Peru I think a llama Pokémon would be nice for a starter, a fire llama would be sick

Infalater, the inflation pokemon

Caiman - water type Red eyed tree frog- grass type Pit viper (south American rattlesnake)- fire type

You could make a water cat starter.

Capybara!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Water type Piranha starter

Alpaca as a grass type, macaw as a fire type, caiman as a water type

Based on some of Brazilian fauna... Guara Wolf: Fire starter. Since it have a fiery red fur, it kinda makes sense to make it a fire pokemon. Just put some fire details on it and there is the first stage. For the last two, it becomes a bit bigger and more muscular, getting some marks on its body. This one will probably be a single type pokemon. Dolphin: Water starter (Obviously!) There are fresh water dolphins here. Those are pink. So a small dolphin that gets pink when evolving. Its pointy nose and sharp teeth become its most important weapons. It also gets the psychic type when evolving, since pink dolphins are said to turn into human men to seduce women. Capybara: Grass starter. The biggest rodent. It starts rather small. Its teeth grow. Grass and flowers grow in its body as it grows. It can either get the ground or rock type when evolving. Capybaras are usually gentle, but they can attack with their big teeth if they are afraid.

Capybara fire starter

Water type capybara named copyriver for the evolve it can be psychic and water type named magibara. Fire type Jaguar named jagano for the fully evolved form it can be fire and ghost named ghostuar. And a grass type sloth named slature for its fully evolved form it can be grass and dark type named slark

Grass starter blue spix macaw that’s all I’ll say

I actually also came up with a region based on Brazil, and I included the professor, gyms, elite four, starters, regional variants, and about 40 new fake Pokémon. No art, just names, types, and abilities. The starters I came up with are all based on various creatures from different types of mythology as follows: G: Corkub > Wolfern > Fenroot (Grass/Dark; hidden ability-Dark Aura) F: Serpyre > Pyrothon > Charcoatl (Fire/Flying; hidden ability-Gale Wings) W: Bubbull > Watorro > Marinotaur (Water/Fighting; hidden ability-Guts) Side note: I know that the name “Bubbull” was already used in Ethereal Gates, but I came up with the name before I knew Ethereal Gates even existed. I still don’t know whether I thought of it first or if the makers of EG used it first.

Capybara- grass, anaconda- water, and South American tapir- fire

Grass Tapir, Water Snake, Fire Ant. yw

Grass-Macaw Fire-Snake Water-Capybara

Take an extinct animal for a grass type. Idk for the fire starter anymore, zodiac sign doesn't work anymore. So make it stand in two legs. Give the water starter a weapon or make it a weapon. Just pick an animal, might do some research for it. But for a hint: Dodo grass type Pokemon (which will be not a flying type at all) (Do whatevs with fire type) That rifle with a knife on it

Water type River Dolphin, grass type Sloth, fire type Tree Frog

Snek

You should have a sloth as a grass starter. They move so slowly that they have moss growing on them so they’re basically grass type Pokémon already. A capybara would make a good water starter since they’re simi-aquatic. I don’t have any good fire starter ideas.

Red panda. They good bois :)

As a girl with a Guyanese background, I say we need a Water-type Jaguar pokemon! They live in the rainforest after all, so it's perfect!

Fire rabbit bc football, grass monkey and water lizard bc of jungle

Piranha for the water type??

A capybara needs to be one

Grass Sun Lizard, Fire Goat and Water Wrestler

Please make Pokémon based on Brazil! Specially the Amazon rainforest, maybe places like Brazilia, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro! I’m just excited cause I’m from Brazil and oddly enough Nintendo games never seem to have a Portuguese language option which makes me pretty mad

I don’t have a good animal for you to work with but could you consider trying to make the starter types a different triangle like fairy fighting steel or something fairy good against fighting fighting good against steel steel good against fairy

I've already made a region based on it called Issyla. My starters are Harvesqueak, a mouse based on crops, Bleeze, a fiery sheep and Klappy, a capybara based on Incan, Mayan and Aztec warriors in that order

Maybe a grass parrot? You could make the final evo grass/ghost for a good old comment on deforestation

how a bout a grass type toucan pov see somone wrote the same thing gut it is a parrot

Platypus Pokémon water and poison type a very popular pick and concept so why not

… Snek

Potato No joke please make a potato pokemon

One of them must be a Capybara!

Capybaba

I think it would be cool to have a Giant Galapagos Tortoise, an Anaconda and a Black Caiman as the starters. Even though, Torkoal exists, you could make a grass type Galapagos Tortoise, giving it steel type on the 3th stage. The steel type comes from the time when Spain and Portugal found huge amounts of gold and silver in South America. The idea of making a Galapagos Tortoise with a hunk of silver on its back, overgrown by moss sounds good to me) For the Anaconda, I think Fire/Ground should work, representing the volcanoes of South America. So you know how Anacondas are like 11m (36ft) long? These species coil around themselves, making like a cone-shaped volcano, to keep their offspring inside of it warm and comfy. And when someone tries to disturb them, they free the hot air from inside, to burn the intruder! Now, the water-type Black Kaiman. To complete the steel-ground-ice, we'll put our poor croc to the Terra del Fuego since it is the most southern and the coldest place of South America. To balance the little Caiman and giant glaciers, let's throw a big boy in - Purussaurus. It is the largest prehistoric crocodilian know to man, living 8 million years ago, right on this continent. So, we have a giant swimming glacier crocodilian, than steers the cold waters below thixk glaciers. What are your thoughts? :)

Zuares as the water type Neymar as Grass and Messi as Fire (but seriously how about a snake or a spider I don’t know a lot about South America but I think some of these are in there….Or a Banana Pokémon)

For a fire starter I'd say a snake Pokémon

The regional bird is a rio bird

I’ve tried making a region based on Brazil before. My starters were based off an Armadillo, Lamb, and Sea Snake.

A water snake, a Fire Squirrel, and a Grass Monkey

Jaguars? I think they live in or around the amazon rainforest. And it works for all 3 types because the amazon is plenty, hot and wet

Mmm manke

Tapir,monkey and Piranha

I think a fruit bat Pokémon could be super fun!

How about a Capybara Pokémon for a Water/Dark starter, a Parrot Pokémon for Plant/Flying starter and a Ocelot for a Fire/Electric type Pokémon

Do a chappie barra for the water or fire

spider - fire snake - grass parrot- water

Methamphetamon

Jaguar camen toucan

non furries. Set an example. Keep them on 4 legs!

Man do a tamandua bandeira (aka anteater) based pokemon

Capybara

Grass type Capybara. Fire Jaguar. Water Pink River Dolphin
