Background: Back in the days of Gen. IV, there were some CAP Pokemon that were finalized without a full set of Pokedex entries:
  • Arghonaut
  • Kitsunoh
  • Cyclohm
  • Colossoil
  • Krilowatt
  • Voodoom (only has one)
During CAP updates, we ran the process for giving Arghonaut a set of Gen. IV Pokedex entries here. We still have to give the remaining Gen. IV CAP Pokemon Pokedex entries, which will lay the foundation for giving their pre-evolutions Pokedex entries!

In this thread, we will be giving CAP 7, Kitsunoh, a set of Gen. IV Pokedex entries. Here is Kitsunoh's Final Product thread, for reference.

These Pokedex entries must be written in the format of Diamond/Pearl/Platinum. This means that the word and character limits must match those from those games, and Pokemon names must be in all capital letters. Otherwise, we will be using modern Pokedex Submission rules.

You will have one week (168 hours) to make your final submissions!

-----

Legal Pokedex submissions must meet the following standards:
  • Species Names cannot be over 11 characters.
  • Pokedex Entries must have flawless grammar. Smogon has a Grammar & Prose team that will help identify mistakes.
  • Pokedex Entries cannot be longer than 23 words and cannot be over 109 characters.
  • Pokedex Entries can only contain the following characters:
    • Letters A-Z
    • Numbers 0-9
    • Dash (-)
    • Apostrophe (')
    • Double quote (")
    • Period (.)
    • Comma (,)
    • Colon (:)
    • Semi-colon (;)
    • Space
Work In Progress (WIP) Pokedex Entries can be posted at any time for comments from the community.

No more than three WIP Pokedex Entries can be posted by any individual person through the entire course of the submission thread. This limit applies to ALL posts made by a single person, even if previous posts are edited or deleted. This limit is intended to curb the tendency for some submitters to spam the thread repeatedly with multiple Pokedex Entries. This detracts from other submissions and makes it difficult for commenters to survey the submission thread.

Do not bump your WIP Pokedex Entries by posting them repeatedly, or making minor wording changes. Bumping will result in the disqualification of all Pokedex Entries by the offender. Editing or deleting bump posts will not prevent disqualification.

Only ONE Final Submission can be made per person.

Pokedex entries Final Submissions must posted exactly in the following format and in the following exact order:
  • The first line of the post must have the words "Final Submission" in bold on its own line. No other text may be included before the bold heading.
  • A blank line
  • "<Pokémon Name>, the <Species Name> Pokémon", with the Pokemon name and the Species Name in bold
  • A blank line
  • The Diamond Pokedex Entry submission. Start with the letters "Diamond" in bold, then a colon (:), and then the Pokedex entry.
  • A blank line
  • The Pearl Pokedex Entry submission. Start with the letters "Pearl" in bold, then a colon (:), and then the Pokedex entry.
  • A blank line
  • The Platinum Pokedex Entry submission. Start with the letters "Platinum" in bold, then a colon (:), and then the Pokedex entry.
Below the Final Submission you can post other comments, explanations, etc.

Example final submission:

Final Submission

Kricketune
, the Cricket Pokémon

Diamond: It crosses its knifelike arms in front of its chest when it cries. It can compose melodies ad lib.

Pearl: It signals its emotions with its melodies. Scientists are studying these melodic patterns.

Platinum: There is a village that hosts a contest based on the amazingly variable cries of this Pokémon.

Any Final Submission that does not follow the proper format will be disqualified.

Final Submission

Kitsunoh
, the Snatcher Pokémon

Diamond: It may be fickle, but its lust for faces never changes. It adorns its pelt with its most beautiful skulls.

Pearl: Desperate soldiers seek out KITSUNOH, hoping it will steal away their memories of war.

Platinum: It runs sorties with the help of MISMAGIUS. Each tries to make the other serve as the distraction.

For the Pearl entry, I thought of phrasing "hoping it will steal away their memories of the war", but this felt less in the style of the relatively modern dex entries, so I went with the phrasing used.

Final Submission

Kitsunoh
, the Shadow Fox Pokémon

Diamond: When you are alone and feel like you are being watched, it is because there is a KITSUNOH hiding.

Pearl: It is said that it first started to wear masks in order to communicate better with humans.

Platinum: Notoriously shy, it hides on the walls of old theatres by arranging its masks like decorations.
 
Final Submission

Kitsunoh
, the Emotionless Pokémon

Diamond: KITSUNOH are carnivorous, but they only eat the faces of their prey.

Pearl: It knows nothing of joy, sorrow, or fear. Layfolk revile it as "the beast MESPRIT forgot".

Platinum: It can walk on walls and disappear. It is favored by thieves because it lacks a concept of morality.

Kitsunoh
, the Faceless Pokémon

Diamond: KITSUNOH appears to have some connections to LUCARIO, though they show open disdain for each other.

Pearl: This fox-like Pokémon is know to harass and steal from larger Pokémon like SALAMENCE and TYRANITAR.

Platinum: Though they look and feel like fine steel, KITSUNOH's masks melt to nothingness when it enters a shadow.

Now, you might be wondering where the links to other mons came into it. I looked back through the archives and found the bit talking about which mons needed to be scouted and that helped inform Kit's design and, in turn, my dex entries. Mons that came up the most often were Mence (assumedly before it was banned) and TTar, so I put that in there to signify how it was designed to scout and play around these two. Lucario also came up a bit, but I noticed plenty of similarities between the two so I chucked that one in a fresh entry. The rest is your casual Ghost/darkness stuff.

Kitsunoh,
the No-Faced Pokemon

Diamond: KITSUNOH's fur is made of pure shadow. It's believed that its masks stabilize its body, maintaining its form.

Pearl: It lurks in the shadows, feeding off the life energy of its prey. The energy of happy people is its favorite.

Platinum: The mask on its face is able to read and repeat peoples' thoughts. Because of this, it's favored by spies.
 
WIP

Kitsunoh
, the Masked Pokemon

Diamond: Emboldened by hiding its face, KITSUNOH rushes targets openly, snatching anything striking its fancy.

Pearl: If one of KITSUNOH's prized masks gets damaged, it will abandon its current hunt to repair it immediately.

Platinum: KITSUNOH are fiercely possessive of their masks. Offering one to a trainer is a sign of absolute trust.

Kitsunoh,
the Masked Pokémon

Diamond: KITSUNOH is adorned with several silver masks. Each one is said to contain a wicked soul.

Pearl: It can manipulate the memories of those around it. No one has ever seen a KITSUNOH without its masks.

Platinum: Malicious and cunning, it takes great pleasure in tormenting its victims as it strikes from their shadows.

Final Submission

Kitsunoh
, the Phantom Pokemon

Diamond: They make masks out of the shiniest steel in their city, which they get from the mansions of billionaires.

Pearl: People who take masks off KITSUNOH are never seen again. It is theorized that said people turn into NOHFACE.

Platinum: KITSUNOH can detect a person's possessions after a single look, which is why they are popular among police.

WIP

Kitsunoh
, the Phantom Pokemon

Diamond: KITSUNOH make masks out of the shiniest steel possible. To find the metal, it thieves into houses of rich billionaires at nighttime

Pearl: Anyone who sees a KITSUNOH in a dark alley will suffer misfortune for the rest of the month. KITSUNOH feeds on the sorrow of said people

Platinum: Every year, on the last day of the eighth month, KITSUNOH will come out to rest, killing all people in a 2 mile radius. People who wear KITSUNOH masks are spared.
The character limit and word limits are very short this time, at just 109 characters and 23 words.
All of your entries go over one or both limits.

Final Submission

Kitsunoh
, the Masked Pokémon

Diamond: A set of masks became this Pokémon after ages of disuse. It thrives in the presence of strong emotions.

Pearl: The expressions on its masks can change in the blink of an eye. For this reason, it is popular in theater.

Platinum: Being drawn to strong emotional reactions, this Pokémon haunts the rafters of popular theaters.

--

I focused on the menreiki youkai and noh theater flavor for these entries. Feels a bit Phantom of the Opera-ish...

The Platinum entry remixes the flavor in the Diamond and Pearl entries, as I felt like that was common to do. '3'

Everyone will be moving on to the polls! I notified the people who needed fixes, and I made the following minor fix:
  • Bice: "peoples'" -> "people's"
Thanks to Atha and Hematite again for their help in catching these issues, and thank you all for your patience in waiting for the poll!
