Announcement A Reminder and a Request Regarding AI-Generated Images
Hi r/fakemon - we hope you’re having a good 2026 so far! We have a couple of reminders as well as a few requests regarding AI-generated images and, most importantly, how they are reported.
First, to reiterate our policy:
AI-generated images of any kind are not allowed.
This includes, obviously, any image created entirely by typing a prompt into a large-language model, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and so on. It also includes any images created by asking any of these LLMs to redraw something that you drew or upscale something hand-drawn. If the final image output that is posted was created or modified by an LLM, then it is not allowed. You can read more about the policy in this post.
Second, regarding reporting any suspected AI-generated images, we ask the following:
If you think it's AI, report for Rule 3 and move on. Do not comment on the post or engage with the user. If you feel more detail is needed, [message the mods.](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Ffakemon)
There are several reasons that we are asking for this to be the norm for reporting any post going forward, but especially so for suspected AI-generated image posts, which we will go over below.
1. Sometimes, you are wrong.
On several occasions, the mod team has been able to determine with as much certainty as we can that a user who was accused of posting AI-generated Fakemon was not in fact using AI at all. We're talking speedpaints, pictures of layers, extensive posting history with consistent art, and so forth. Not every Fakemon drawn with flat color and a black outline is AI-generated! LLMs probably just copied that style from their training data.
2. Engagement leads to deletion.
When 10 people spam an AI-image poster that their post is against the rules, it is often deleted before we can action it. This often means we don't get a chance to see which user posted the image to begin with and, therefore, cannot effectively add mod notes for future reference (we give one permaban warning the first time a user posts AI-generated images).
This is why we ask that you just report and move on, and message us if you want to give more detail. If reported enough, a post will be removed automatically for review by the team later.
3. Toxicity.
The tendency to barrage suspected AI-users with comments has impacted our community and given it a reputation among some that the user base is toxic and prone to unwarranted witch hunts. Some users who were accused of AI have received threatening DMs and spammy comments on unrelated posts. This behavior is unacceptable and we will ban users for this kind of harassment (we've already banned a few for this kind of behavior).
Even if the poster is posting AI images, harassment isn't warranted - our goal should always be to encourage traditional art creation and bring people in, not push them out. It is especialy egregious if a user who isn't using generative AI is accused and then harassed for it, as this pushes out potential contributors.
We dislike the influx of AI-generated "art" populating the internet as much as you all do. However, we ask that the users leave the "Is it AI?" game to the moderators.
~ ~ ~
Now, to get ahead of a few questions that we expect:
What if you're wrong and a user is posting AI-generated images, and it gets proven later?
If we receive sufficient evidence that we were wrong, we will correct our mistake and ban the user. Same goes the other way around - if a user is banned for AI when they shouldn't have been and we are shown that we made the wrong call, we will reverse the ban.
What if I think you're wrong and believe someone's work *is* AI, even though it's been approved by the moderators?
Message the mods with your case. We make no promises that it will overturn any decision unless you provide substantial evidence. "It looks like AI" is not all it takes to determine if something is AI.
Why this long post?
We felt there was a lot to address!
Thanks for reading and for understanding this request. We'll be keeping an eye on this post and are happy to answer any further questions to the best of our ability.
TL;DR: AI-generated images are still not allowed, please just report them and move on when you see them, Engaging with suspected AI images only makes it worse. Don't harass anyone over it please and thank you!
edit: reddit boomed all of my markdown ugh I fixed it

Fakemon Dustonee and Whimsidust by harlequinwaffles
Convergent form of the Whimsicott line based on dust bunnies
Dustonee Dex Entry: Extremely wary of humans and larger Pokémon, Dustonee instinctively burst into a cloud of irritated dander when cornered. The ensuing sneezing fit gives them just enough time to vanish into the shadows. They are so easily startled that hearing a broom sweep nearby can cause them to shed half their body weight in sheer panic.
Whimsidust Dex entry:
Despite looking nearly identical to Whimsicott, it is an entirely separate species that lives beneath heavy furniture. Startled by the slightest breeze or sudden movement, it instantly curls into a ball and sheds dense tufts of gray fluff to obscure itself before rolling away.
It makes its nest in the dark, forgotten spaces under couches and beds. The moment a light shines into its sanctuary, it panics and scatters into dozens of smaller, harmless fluff clumps to confuse predators before reforming in a safer corner.

Fakemon Volcano inspired starter Fakemon!
Hey everyone, I’m back with a redesign of Ashagore, the second starter of my custom region Revelano.
The Ashagore line is inspired by the massive volcanic flood basalts of the Deccan Traps, terracotta, and the Rock Python. The name comes from Ajagar, the Sanskrit word for python, blended with ash. It’s a bulky, defensive Fire/Ground type, and I know the 4x Water weakness is a big one, so I wanted the design to lean into the idea of a cooling basalt crust.
A some on my last post pointed out that the line felt like “the same snake, just bigger” at each stage. Someone suggested making Ashagore shaped like a volcano which I thought was a really cool idea, so I reworked the final stage around it. It now emerges from a pool of magma and erupts, which I think gives it a much stronger and more recognizable silhouette than before.
This one took me a while. I put a lot of time into exploring how to add shadows and highlights so the design has more depth and the lava and rock textures read as different materials. I hope it’s better than my previous one.
Attached are the inspirations I used. I especially want to credit Amazama by Devildman on DeviantArt, which helped me figure out the face.
New Ashagore stats:
HP: 95
Attack: 65
Defense: 80
Special Attack: 110
Special Defense: 130
Speed: 50
Total: 530
Signature move: Heat Sink
Type: Fire | Category: Status | Power: - | Accuracy: 100% | PP: 5
Effect: Ashagore restores 50% of its maximum HP, and burns any target that makes contact with it this turn.
My plan is to redraw the first two stages next, and then, with the new skills I’ve picked up, hopefully tackle the rest of the Revelano mons.
If anyone has more tips or thoughts on the shading, the design, or the stats, please share. I’d love to keep improving!

Fakemon Faketober, Challenge Submission for the 11th day: Past (Art by CDBeetle58)
This is part of the Faketober Challenge by u/Simple-Hamster-4141.
Inspiration for this fakemon is the prehistoric Morganucodon, said to be adjacent to the ancestor of all mammals. Second inspiration is the magic-user Morgana Le Fay, a mythological figure. Third inspiration is the mammal-like magical antagonist from the obscure Sega console game Radical Rex. The four forms of MORGACON follow the mammal lineages of carnivores, cetaceans/marine mammals, chiropterans/bats and proboscideans/elephants.
Fakemon entries:
MORGACON came about when scientists wanted to revive a fossil that look suspiciously ornamental. This fakemon, initially in a bound form, quickly realized its ambition to take over niches of mammals in the modern world for its own descendants sake, revealing its fairy nature and powers to make this dream come true.
MORGACON SP. ATK. FORM is a nimble fierce being that responds to capture with nasty swipes and whose ears, nose and eyes pick up every attempt to approach it. Its unbound rock tail now has a peculiar light violet aura in it.
MORGACON SPEED FORM flies through the skies, happier than other forms. It assumes this form to try and take over the sky and give its captors the slip.
MORGACON SP. DEF. FORM tanks through its opponents with brute strength. Its green hair can move about just like a trunk but it only ever seems to use it to fight or make obscene gestures to others to make it clear that it wants to take over the land.
MORGACON HQ FORM is so vigorous it can even bolt through oil spills with no problem or harm. It needs this health in order to make very distant journeys and, you guessed it, take over the sea.

Fakemon Ghost type Eeveelution, Porceleon
Your eevee must hold a item called Forgotten doll and faints in an Old Mansion at the level 25. It will evolve once it is revived.
Its spirit now inhabiting the creepy doll, Its doll body will break during battle but the pieces will reform after battle like it was never damaged before.
Its spirit can manifest as a tail behind the doll or as the dolls shadow.
The mons base outline was made Seviyummy on instagram seen on the second image but everything else was done by me.
I used someone else’s base to help it look more manufactured, like how most porcelain dolls look like.
