Homebrew Pokémon Species Details
The creatures themselves, which are based on various plants, animals, objects, and other concepts, inhabit virtually every corner of the world, no matter which canon's interpretation is seen. Many make their homes in forests and on rural routes stretching across the various regions, while still others are native to cities and other urban centers. Currently, there are 1025 known as Pokémon.
Pokémon Traits
While most Pokémon resemble animals and may behave like them, there are many that do not resemble animals at all, taking on other forms such as plants, inanimate objects, machines, human-like forms, or other more enigmatic and exotic appearances. Pokémon inhabit an extremely diverse range of habitats, ranging from the driest deserts to the lushest jungles, the deepest oceans to the highest mountains and everything else in between, even outer space and other dimensions.Ability Score Increase

Pokémon mature at different rates depending on their species, but most reach adulthood around the same time as humans, usually by their early teens. Their lifespans vary widely—some Pokémon live only a few decades, while others, especially those with mystical or elemental traits, may endure for centuries.
Size
The size of a Pokémon varies greatly by species. Most fall within the bounds of Small or Medium, though some may be larger or smaller depending on their natural form.

Language
