Description This doesn't feel finished yet, but I'm not sure what else I should do with it... I may edit it more later if I figure it out. The grass is especially bothering me but I really don't know how to fix it. I'd also like to add more details since the setting still seems a bit plain, but I dunno if that'd be overkill. Edit: I've tweaked a lot of stuff - Ditto's lighting and head bumps, water texture, grass shading, and rock colors.

Anyway, Ditto has been my favorite PokΓ©mon ever since I first played Blue. It's just so damn cute and squishy and unique! Most attempts at making it realistic seem to base it off an amoeba - that really doesn't make sense to me, besides being impractical, its dex entries specifically state that it's multicellular.

I imagine instead that it'd be more like a mollusk, sort of a cross between a gastropod and a cephalopod. It can change its color, texture, shape, and size at will - like an octopus, but more advanced. They're terrestrial but often found near water like most slugs and snails, though I imagine that they're not slimy (just squishy and rather smooth.)

Also, like many gastropods, Ditto is obviously a hermaphrodite species. The idea of PokΓ©mon genetics breaks my brain though so I won't speculate on their ability to hybridize with everything under the sun.

But what if I lost it? I reckon a creature that can transform into anything would be very good at hiding.

That's certainly a strange way to interpret Ditto. I always saw it as a big blob of jelly. Someone must have lost their Lure Ball.

Finally someone else who realizes they are Molluscs that are also hermaphrodites.

Good work, my friend!

A kind of octopus has been discovered which mimics various dangerous animals (lionfish, seasnake, etc.) to ward off predators. Real life keeps getting closer to fantasy every day.

MrJmZack [2010-09-25 17:14:29 +0000 UTC]

This looks very neat! I like your design.

Yeah, since Red and Blue I always thought PokΓ©mon were hermaphrodites and amorphous at heart, like Ditto here: that's why they just appear so often, and can "evolve" into new and better forms so quickly!

Then they introduced eggs.

From what I've heard, all PokΓ©mon are the same species, but separate sub-species. That's how different pairings can breed. Crazy huh?

lydario [2010-09-13 16:10:42 +0000 UTC]

Nice. I like seeing informed interpretations such as this, and from you I always expect no less. Yours are by far my favorite realistic interpretations, BASED simply on a species, but mutated to support the idea of pokemon, which are more cryptids, undiscovered yet unique creatures. Very nice!
