== Terminology == | |||
A single example of a creature is called an "individual" or a "character". For example, "Beachcomber Harry's level 5 Memnomnom" is an individual creature. | |||
A "variety" or "species" is all creatures of that category. For example, "[[Memnomnom]]" is a variety of tuxemon. | |||
[[ | |||
A "family" of creatures is a variety and all its morphs. For example, [[Memnomnom]], [[Miaownolith]], [[Criniotherme]] and [[Pyraminx]] are all varieties in the "[[Memnomnom family]]". | |||

* '''Metal:''' Includes creatures associated with steel, darkness, mechanical and robotic things, psychic powers and other unnatural things, humankind, and the undead. | |||
== Animals, Food and Tuxemon == | |||
The question of whether real-world animals exist, and the related question of whether tuxemon are eaten as food by people, has been considered on the forums. Tentative agreement was that real-world animals do not exist, and that tuxemon are eaten at least by other tuxemon, and probably by people as well. | |||
[[Scoop]], one of the villainous corporations in the main story, runs a factory farm, but it is not clear if this is just for milk and eggs, or for meat as well. | |||

== | == Capturing tuxemon == | ||
[[File:Capture_-_tamashihoshi.gif|thumbnail]] [[File:Tamashihoshi_capture3.gif|thumbnail]] | |||
[[Capture Device]]s can be used in battle to attempt to capture the tuxemon you are fighting (only if the tuxemon does not currently have a trainer). The device is consumed regardless of whether the capture is successful. | |||
== | == Pseudo-Tuxemon == | ||
Although not yet fully developed, there is an idea that some entities may be able to be battled, but will not be tuxemon. For example, your tuxemon may fight a martial artist, a killer robot, or a gunslinger. | |||
These would not be able to be caught (so they don't need back or face sprites), but would otherwise behave like tuxemon. | |||
== | == Plot-Specific Tuxemon == | ||
Most of the over a hundred tuxemon that we design could be placed in the game in any situation or area. However, there are a few that have a specific role in the plot: | |||
=== Old Starters === | |||
These are the starters the Protagonist can choose from in [[Paper Town]]: | |||
* [[Heronquak]] | |||
* [[Lambert]] | |||
* [[Nut]] | |||
* [[Agnite]] | |||
* [[Rockitten]] | |||
== | === New Starters === | ||
These are the exclusives that your Rivals can choose from. | |||
* [[Dollfin]] | |||
* [[Magmaturtle]] | |||
* [[Memnomnom]] | |||
* [[Budaye]] | |||
* [[Grintot]] | |||
=== Exchange Student Starters === | |||
These are the starters that the exchange students in [[Flower City]] offer to trade with you. They don't morph, suggesting that some unique process is required to unlock their morphs. | |||
* [[Foxfire]] | |||
* [[Conileaf]] | |||
* [[Hampotamos]] | |||
=== Gifts === | |||
* [[Vivipere]] (from [[Flower City]]) | |||
* [[Sampsage]] or [[Sampsack]] (for completing the [[Dojo of the Five Elements]]) | |||
* [[Chloragon]] (hatches from [[Ancient Egg]] given in [[Candy Town]]) | |||
= | === Fossils === | ||
Both found in [[Tunnel B]] as fossils. | |||
* [[Rhincus]] | |||
* [[Shammer]] | |||
== | === Uniques === | ||
' | * [[Volcoli]] ([[Dryad's Grove]]) | ||
* [[Drokoro]] ([[Dragon's Cave]]) | |||
== Other Tuxemon == | |||
Apart from the plot-specific tuxemon, it would be good to keep a mix of: | |||
* Tuxemon that are unique to particular routes or other places | |||
* Tuxemon that are found in several routes or other places | |||
* Tuxemon that can only be gotten by trading | |||
* Tuxemon that can only be gotten by swimming or fishing | |||

A couple of places in the story anticipate that double battles will exist. On [[Route 5]] the [[Little Heirs]] and the [[Dynamic Dynasts]] represent two trainers each, and at [[Omnichannel HQ]] it's expected that you'll team up with your [[Rivals]] to fight a series of double battles. [[:Category:Duo]] is the category for sprites for double battles. | A couple of places in the story anticipate that double battles will exist.
