THE LAPEO REGION
The Lapeo Region is a Fakemon Region project.
The region itself is a small island that is actually devoid of any Pokemon at all–its inhabitants went extinct long ago. Recently, researchers have began excavating the fossils of the Pokemon that once roamed this land, and returning these long lost Pokemon back to life. This makes Lapeo entirely unique in that all the wild Pokemon are dug out and resurrected from fossils, rather than found roaming the long grass!
Due to Lapeo’s dedicated researchers, many new and exciting discoveries have been found from these rare fossils. On top of brand new Pokemon, they’ve also discovered new evolutions, new forms, and new related species of known Pokemon.
The purpose of this project has been to create a small scale Pokemon dex based entirely on prehistoric creatures and phenomena. Call it a mix of my two favourite things. It began in 2022 and has been slowly updating since.
Below is the current Lapeo Pokedex, something important to study if you wish to become an intrepid adventurer of the Lapeo Region! Happy reading!
