Atlas

Atlas is an upcoming, currently unplayable region on Pokéngine, created by Kyledove.
It is a varied, expansive region that, rather than being based on one specific real-life location, tries to encompass parts of many cultures and locations worldwide - hence the name "Atlas".
Work on the region began in 2008 and has gone through many, many iterations. The dex is a collaborative effort between many fakemon creators. 
The region was open for a period, but was shut to focus on improvements and to add a story. Goal is to open it up with up to 2 gyms.

Sprite	Name 	Type 	Description
 	Fawnlora 	Grass 	"Due to their perfect camouflage, it is hard to estimate how many Fawnlora exist in the wild, or how close to extinction they may be. It's said a forest is blessed if it contains one."
 	Scurley 	Grass 	"Scurley likes hopping around in fields and forests. It loves to occasionally dig holes and bury things in them."
 	Baneep 	Grass 	"Baneep prefer to live in thick canopies, protected from wind. They are a very affectionate species, doting and caring for one another."
 	Instick 	Grass/Bug	"Instick are unaware that they're prey to most larger Pokemon, and have to rely on their parents to guide them to safety. They love to eat the greenest leaves off of bushes."
 	Nawdile 	Grass 	"Nawdile are very sly and sneaky. On sunny days Nawdile like to lay in the sun for hours, absorbing the sun's energy. But be careful not to disturb them or they will come biting at you."
 	Scorchet 	Fire 	"Small and nimble, Scorchet often make their homes inside fallen logs. When enraged, their ears will flare with fire."
 	Vulkidna 	Fire 	"Vulkidna make their homes near volcanic sites, where the earth is often dry and devoid of life. They bury down into the warm soil, and can lie there dormant for years until the volcano is active again."
 	Ruflame 	Fire 	"Ruflame's ability to regenerate lost body parts is considered by most to be a phenomenon. It is subject to many investigations, in attempts to discover any applications its abilities may have in human medicine."
 	Bunfin 	Fire 	"Bunfin live in rocky, mountainous areas, where they mark their territory by scorching surrounding rocks. They can make a high-pitched whistling noise by quickly blowing hot air through their snouts."
 	Barkindle	Fire 	"Barkindle's body is very warm to hug, meaning kids and other Pokémon love to snuggle up to it. When angry, it will heat up and its tail will burn hot."
 	Finjoy 	Water 	"They like to go where people are, and are often found on busy beaches. To entertain, they love doing tricks with beachballs and creating bubble shows."
 	Pumpel 	Water 	"Whenever a Pumpel finds water, it drinks it up, and stores it on its back. It can traverse hot deserts for weeks, and has been known to provide water for lost travelers from its hose-like tail."
 	Liqueel 	Water 	"Liqueel's long tail whips through the water as it swims, making it very fast. Some Liqueel use their tails to fight while trying to protect others."
 	Caimar 	Water 	"Caimar's blood is unusually warm, so it is attracted to cold water currents. Commonly born in Arctic waters, they swim through harsh currents to the tropics, where food is plentiful."
 	Watuber 	Water 	"Watuber are very playful and often like to amuse themselves in pools and near shores. Because they're not very good swimmers, they often borrow tubes and floaters."
