Description This is my entry for Round 2 of Farewell contest. I've been assigned the era 'Prehistory' and I chose 'Ancient Greece'. The Historic Rivals are Pronamuh and Nemecter.
Pronamuh is based on a caveman and on cave paintings, while its name comes from Prometheus (Myth that depicts the constant fights between humans and gods) and the word 'human'spelled backwards. It is the common ancestor between humans and Human-like Pokémon (read the story for more information).
Nemecter is based on Nemesis, greek goddess of divine retribution that punished arrogance before the Gods.

Merging two eras as different as these was really difficult to me so I wrote the story to make their rivalry more believable. The whole tale is an extension of the story of the creation of the Pokémon World. Also, Solrock and Lunatone were my favourite Gen-III pokes so being able to contribute with my ideas to their lore (who is unclear if you read their pokedex entries) was really exciting. I hope you like them!

Pronamuh (Prometheus+Human)

Category: Special
Power: 20
PP: 10

*Trivial, unimportant, unnessesarily necessary detail: Nemecter offensive stats are 1 point above Mew's because Arceus didn't want them to be stopped by Mew. Pronamuh's offensive stats are 1 point below Mew's because Mew used almost all it's power to create them.

Actually quick question. Where do you find all these contests you enter? Do you search them or do they appear only in watcher Journals?

Kottrman In reply to DevilDman [2015-11-01 23:33:30 +0000 UTC]

I don't search specifically for contests but I try to search every day for the newest fakemon on DA, by doing so if someone starts a contest it usually appears on my search. The other way is, like you said, if someone you watch shares the contest in a journal.

Pronamuh is just amazing ! The concept ! The story behind it ! The projection of its thoughts of prehistoric paintings. 
The link with the story of other pokemons. This gives a kind of dynamic to the world of pokemon. 

Oh and linking Nemesis and Prometheus was really smart. 
Great use of mythology. 
Did you give wings to Nemecter in reference to the eagle that eats flesh from Prometheus day after day for eternity ? 

I wish you luck for the contest.

Also, this alone deserves a watch. ^^

Thank you so much for the kind words!
To be honest, I put the wings in nemecter because nemesis is a winged goddess...but what you suggest is actually a great idea xD so the wings could have two meanings.
Thanks for the watch as well :3

I don't thinks it's the design that make this entry so likable in my opinion, it's the awesome in-depth story you developed around them.
Their design are not terrible, don't get me wrong, they are really cool, especially pronamuh

But mainly compliments on that story ... it's just so cool

Kottrman In reply to hans-sniekers-art [2015-10-17 20:46:41 +0000 UTC]

I agree with you, much of their appeal lies within their story and how they became rivals. With the two eras I had I couldn't come up with a "conceptual rivalry" like zangoose/seviper (mongoose vs. snake) so I had to think of a story to relate two fakemon that you wouldn't recognize as "rivals" at first sight. In the end, I think the fact that they are different from each other enrichs their rivalry so I'm really happy with the result :3.
Thanks a lot for your kind words!

Yeah the story is so cool because it's two totally different sorts of fakemon.
No problemo

fishut564 [2015-10-16 18:20:13 +0000 UTC]

why are there stats low for these two ?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Kottrman In reply to fishut564 [2015-10-16 19:20:40 +0000 UTC]

Because they are not legendaries, they are regular pokes like zangoose/seviper. Also, I thought that if pronamuh came from mew it wouldn't have higher stats than him. And Nemecter was made to be slightly stronger than mew. I lowered both their defenses to balance their stats.
but but but...xD the stats aren't thaaaat low arent' they? I mean, they are comparable to flygon except for the lower defenses (but no 4x weaknesses like flygon).

Thank you so much! *-* you still have time, don't worry xd! I don't know about winning hahah so far the entries are amazing, and we have to see your entry and the ones from the other contestants too :3.
