The Pokémon franchise includes about 809 fictional types of collectible monsters, each of which has a unique design and skills. Created by Satoshi Tajiri in early 1989, Pokémon are creatures that inhabit the fictional world. Creating Pokémon and their names is a creative process. You can draw inspiration from anything, for example, from inanimate objects, real animals or mythology. Many Pokémon can evolve into more powerful species, while others can undergo shape changes and achieve similar results. Several artists, led by Ken Sugimori, participated in the development of this fairy-tale world. However, by 2013, a team of 20 artists began to create new types of these creatures. They are very popular among fans of the series and not only.
Pokemon Names and Evolution
Due to the large number of characters, each species is divided into generations. Pokemon and their names, as well as all information about these creatures, is located in Pokedex, which is a pocket encyclopedia that includes many species of creatures and their habitats.
As mentioned earlier, many species of Pokemon are able to develop into a larger and more powerful creature. Changes are accompanied by statistics modifications, usually a modest increase and access to a wider range of attacks. There are several ways to trigger evolution, including reaching a certain level, using a special stone, or exploring a specific attack. For example, the Bulbasaur is able to evolve into Ibizaurus. 48 Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution or Primary Reversion from the moment the Sun and Moon come out. A character can be a man or a woman, only a man, only a woman, or asexual.
An interesting fact is that Pokémon, heroes, names and all the components of the project are an absolutely unique part of this exciting world. After world popularity overtook this universe, the names of some characters were changed and adjusted to different countries and languages of the world. Currently, internationally, the names of Pokémon in English are considered original. However, many are interested in how the names of the heroes sound in their native dialect. This article will present the names of Pokemon in Russian. Let's look at the most popular representatives of this world. Many are interested in the names of the legendary Pokemon with their detailed description. This will also be described below.

Its lower side from the chest down to the sole has a cream color. In the upper and lower jaw, he has two fangs. His arms and legs are short, he has four fingers on his hands, and three clawed toes. At the tip of the tail of this Pokemon, a flame burns, which has maintained its strength since the birth of Charmander. By the state of his flame, one can determine the state of health and mood of Charmander. For example, when he is in an active mood, the flame shines brightly, but it weakens when he gets tired; when he is happy, the flame shines, and when he is angry, it burns. It is said that when Charmander’s flame ceases to be visible, the creature leaves this world. The natural habitat of this species is mountainous areas with hot sunny cover.

It is presented in various manga and belongs to the main character of Red in the Pokémon Adventures manga. The bulbasaur has been used in countless products, including toys, key chains, and plush dolls. Bulbasaur design and evolution is based on frogs. In the Pokemon franchise, these are small amphibians and pokemon plants that move on all four legs and have light blue-green bodies with darker blue-green spots.

Squirtle is a small cute tortoise-like Pokémon that can move on either two legs or on all fours. It has light blue skin and has a long, curled tail. Feeling threatened, Squirtle puts his limbs into the brown-orange shells and sprays water from his mouth with great force to attack the enemy or simply intimidate him.

Rattata has purple fur on the back and creamy fur on the stomach. He has a pair of thin, creamy whiskers and a long tail that curls at the tip. Females have a short mustache and lighter fur. Rattata lives wherever he can find the food he seeks for most of the day. Thanks to his sharp fangs, he can eat almost anything. When threatened, Rattata can inflict a powerful bite. His stamina allows him to live in many environments, although he mainly lives on the plains and savannahs. Since this species multiplies rapidly, a pair of such Pokemon can quickly colonize the territory.

This Pokemon has a creamy belly and brown legs with lighter brown paw pads. Inside Vulpix there is a flame that never goes out.

This pokemon has a special skill called kinesis, with which it can reduce the accuracy of its opponents. Alakazam uses his psychic skills to support the movement of his body, as he has a very weak muscle system. His brain is constantly growing in size and heavier, so the character uses his abilities to maintain this very main organ.
Design and Development Series
By design, Pokémon are often very similar to real creatures, but can be similar to inanimate objects. Junichi Director Masuda and graphic designer Takao Uno said they draw inspiration for the design of Pokemon and their names from the world around them. The diversity of animals across the planet provides the foundation for countless ideas to be included in the franchise. The environment in which the pokemon will live is also taken into account when developing it.
Masuda stated that every design element has a functional reason. In some cases, the development team creates a trail that a Pokémon could make, and creates a creature around it. Some designers draw inspiration from game mechanics, seeing where certain things may be interesting. Typical purpose changes during the design process, sometimes Pokémon, their names and types are obtained after they are created, and in other cases they are created around a certain type. Each character has a certain height and weight, as well as special biological characteristics and a biography.
New era
The main manifestation of the new era of the Pokemon franchise is the game Pokemon Go, which has gained immense popularity among people from all over the world. A huge number of creatures from this world could materialize in virtual reality with just a telephone. This once again proves that the world of Pokemon is a truly outstanding phenomenon in the history of the mass culture of games and animated series.
