Let's be real, nobody would have any issues with Meganium if Johto wasn't literally the worst possible region to be a Grass type. I've used it in other regions and it works just fine.

What about Bardelisk? Aren't basilisks those lizards than run on water?

I like Meganium's design. It's a Pokémon I'd love as a pet.

For Serathorn, I think going back to the concept of Primal Reversion is a good idea. Since all or at least of the gimmick increased in data storage size. Mega, Giga and Tera They go for Milli, Centi or Nano for this one. The concept is that through something called Nanoium, certain Pokémon can awaken dormant primal genes via the Evolutionary Matrix

Well, Gamefreak keeps breaking thought to be unbreakable rules so I expect it. That branching evolution for Charmander is so friggin cool.

These alt evolutions could be a result of locations. Taking your starter to specific locations will help them evolve into their alternate forms as a result of adapting to a specific environment, like the Hisuian forms.

Bardeleon is my favorite branched evolution in this collection also to evolve it I think that you need to level up your Drizzile while having it hold a Big Pearl since it looks like Bardeleon is holding a pearl made of water 😍💧

This would be so cool for the next gen of Pokémon

Charquest is a great branch evolution idea! I like the combination of a knight and a dragon, it’s a very interesting concept, one that I can see in actual gameplay. Plus, it reminds me of Mega Sceptile, who uses its tail as a weapon/defense mechanism.

I would work with Items for these branched evolution: To evolve Bayleaf to Serathorn, it has to hold the item: Ancient Skull, a fossilized item of an unknown prehistoric pokémon that activates old dormant genes in certain pokémon to evolve different. To evolve Drizzle to Bardeleon (or a name I read below that would also be cool Bardelisk), it has to hold the item: Poet's Plume, an antique item of a medival pokémon trainer, which an uncanny ability to "inspire" his pokémon towards creative endeavours. To evolve Charmeleon to Charequest, it has to hold the item: Knight's Crest, another antique, often given from father to son, mother to daughter and is said to unlock chivalry and bravery in both pokémon and trainer.

If the Kanto starters get regional forms (pretty much the only form they haven't got) giving them a different final form would be perfect. I even have my own ideas . Grass/Fairy Bulbasaur with a mushroom instead, becoming a more literal case of a fairy toadstool . Fire/Poison Charmander that is more salamander like, including a quadruped final form. Poison has been associated with dragons and they already did the obvious types . Water/Normal Squirtle that becomes Water/Psychic from then on, meant to represent the wise tortoise trope (they had their chance to retcon Blastoise the Steel type when they introduced it and they never took it, so their loss)

I love that "Charequest" could be a "request" from the community to Gamefreak

Meganium is and always will be one of the most beautiful designs ever. Just wish it could be a bit stronger.

Dude, you totally sold me out for Serathorn! I love every aspect you've mentioned, including the design; it all makes complete sense in my eyes and I would LOVE to have it! I even guessed the type combo before you revealed it and my guess was right. As well as all the other guesses, but for the other two designs, they were more visible in their designs, such as the feminine look of Drizzile's new branch evo and even the steel type in Charequest's look. As for the actual Fakémon themselves, I don't like if some gender-neutral Pokémon looks more masculin or more feminine, because in my stupid brain it is automatically tied with not-as-neutral-as-it-should-be category. What I can tell, is the brilliant idea for Charequest's name. Btw., the “equestris” part of the name of Anolis equestris could potentially evoke a horse (or even zebra; I believe both are named “equus” scientifically), which also can further enhanced Charequest's “knight” theme, because knights are usually associated with horses…

I loved Serathorn! Really like how meganium jave mostly delicate energy and Serathorn is more of a fierce energy. It's a shame people don't like Meganium that much, Chikoeita is my favourite Pokémon and I love how simple and elegant Meganium is, it gives me such a nostalgia from back then! Great work ❤

Serathorn and Charequest are great branch evolutions, I definitely want them in my Pokédex.

Serathorn is giving big sharp tooth vibes from the Land Before Time!

Thespeleon for the name is cool. Like thespian and chameleon

Chikorita evolve into Serathorn if it's attack EVs are above 150 when reaching level 32, so it needs a very contious training to reach this form.
