I do know. I was just mentioning them as a visual reference.
Most stories have a base of mythology to them.

Which isnât at all what Jötnar look like in tradition⊠a human-sized Jötun would just look like a human. (And theyâre not all giants by size, either.)
(Caveat: old traditions are hardly a monolith, so I obviously canât be sure some versions wouldnât look like snowmen.)

Youâre right. In fact, in my country a literary proposal called Scientific Fantasy was exhibited in which some âmagicalâ phenomena take place in a modern world where the protagonist can perform a type of magic that in the end discovers how this âmagicâ of his works and it is nothing more than alteration of atoms and cells under his own will thanks to the fact that he is a scientist.
He is facing a dragon that can do the same thing and is nothing more than a sleeping link of intelligent evolution that wants to destroy humanity to save what this dragon calls âMother Earthâ.
In addition, this modern world is also the product of an alternate universe where America developed technologically like Wakanda thanks to the gift of knowledge that the antagonistâs father dragon gave them and later there were interactions with the world from the voyages of Columbus

Well, many stories or products of culture are inspired by other things that the history, culture and experience of the creators in their lifetime can offer us. For example Tolkien was inspired by his experiences in the trenches to write well the feelings of being in a war where you can be killed at any moment. This war is fantastic but the feeling is the same. Or again the notion of dogs as guardians I can attribute mainly to Cerberus as well as other animals with attributes.

Bit of a weird question, but would anyone be interested in a pokemon esque IF? It would be like the traditional pokemon games wherein you catch pokemon and battle trainers with my own twist and an intricate story.

Do you mean that it would be Pokemon fanfiction or original fiction with a similar premise to Pokemon?

Original fiction with a similar premise to pokemon. Youâll catch monsters (Wispurs) and be able to battle other trainers. There wonât be gym battles but a class system where you gradually battle different trainers in each class until you reach the strongest trainer. For eg: Class F1, Class F2⊠Class E1 and so on.

Huge PokĂ©mon fan here. That demo makes it seem like you have a great head on your shoulders regarding this idea. Its original enough to be enjoyable and familiar enough to be enticing. Iâm all for this concept and would even be up for shooting creature ideas back and forth, if youâd be interested.
But yeah, I say go for it! I think it would be able to get a good following, honestly.
