Creating Your Creature
To craft a Pokémon-style name, ask:
- Which type—fire, water, grass—defines your creature?
- Do you want to hint at an animal or mythical feature?
- Should the name be short for ease or longer for complexity?
- Will it sound good when called out in battle?
- Does it rhyme or have a catchy ending?
