Description I call this critter "Bowlbit", a combination of bowling ball and rabbit. While this is my own creation, the inspiration was Pokemon (owned by Nintendo, in case you live under many rocks).

[EDIT - After doing a test of the curve on the tail, I found it was my sketch that was mistaken, not the people who pointed out that it "looked weird". I have since corrected this.]

If Bowlbit was a species of Pokemon, I would describe it approximately as such:

Type - Normal
Bowling Ball Pokemon

Ability: Hippity Hop
If this pokemon avoids a ground attack, it does light damage to the attacking pokemon (about the same as what weak poison would do each round).

Bowlbit would have above average HP and speed, average attack, and defense, and below average special attack and defense.

Default attacks:

Tackle
Growl

Level up attacks (in no particular order):

Bounce
Rollout
U-Turn
Double Edge
Body Slam
Minimize
Amnesia
Agility
Headbutt
Zen Headbutt
Dig

As for TMs, I'm not gonna bother going through the list to figure out which ones this critter should be able to use, but it would likely have access to quite a few while not necessarily being able to use them well (type normal and low special attack, after all).

As for HMs, Rock Smash and Rock Climb would be about it, I think. I wanted to say strength, but I think the poor guy would roll out of control before successfully pushing a huge rock out of the way.

I may make an evolution for Bowlbit at some point, which would basically be the same except for looking different and having beefed up stats (with special defense getting the biggest boost).

And yes, I HAVE put way too much thought into this. Thanks for pointing that out, you MEANIE.

"Zen Headbutt" is a psychic attack. A psychic attack where you beat people with your head. Ponder THAT one for a while!

It's tail seems to be a bit disconnected when looking at the curve.

I was defending the tail at first, but it started to bother me, too. I tested the curve, and it truly did not fit right. I have fixed the tail.

Are Pokemon able to learn Dig by level-up? I'd thought that was a TM-only move. I could be mistaken, though.

BigNutter In reply to pdonkeh [2007-05-19 23:55:24 +0000 UTC]

Diglett is the one that springs to mind.

It's a TM move for most other PokΓ©mon.

TM 28 if you want to know.. You can get it in the GBA Gen as well as the DS Gen games.

Jake-R In reply to BigNutter [2007-05-21 21:14:13 +0000 UTC]

You got it in the original Pokemon games too, from the Team Rocket member who raided the house in the top-right corner in... the town with Misty as a gym leader (second badge, below the bridge with 5 challengers on it).

I've got 6 GB/GBC/GBA Pokemon games, I should know.

DanShive In reply to pdonkeh [2007-05-19 23:55:19 +0000 UTC]

Many can; I don't think there's a TM for it in Diamond and Pearl, actually. I could easily be wrong, though.

Only reason Bowlbit would have Dig is due to obvious ties with rabbit kind, of course ^_^

Lizuka In reply to DanShive [2007-05-20 17:17:01 +0000 UTC]

Actually, there is a Dig TM. Can't remember where I found it, but I do remember I used it on Raichu.

*(normally) shy EGS fan* Adorable! :3 Original pokemon are always interesting when they're believable. Too many are overpowered ripoffs of existing ones. If I could draw I'd probably upload a creation or two.

I think a good name for the evolved bowlbit would be Metabowl. it might have sonic, thunder, and maybe volt tackle as new attacks. maybe recover and rest as new defensive moves.

Very Pokemon design you got there. I was thinking I'd missed one in my research when I spotted it. XD

The tail looks like it should connect behind the ears... I dunno if that's just me but it doesn't quite look right...

Still waiting for a UK releace date for D/P... Gettin' bored... Β¬_Β¬

Thanks ^_^

The Tail does look a little weird in the final version, but the sketch I have tells me that the tail placement is accurate. It is merely obscured by the ear.

Chris-JG In reply to DanShive [2007-05-19 23:03:29 +0000 UTC]

Mmkay. That was the other option. It just curves like it would go around the back s'more in the same general direction. Still great though. ^_^

MadelynHimegami [2007-05-19 22:37:32 +0000 UTC]

What would its having low Special Attack have to do with its TM compatability? There are some physical attack TMs...

Creative design, though, Shive.

DanShive In reply to MadelynHimegami [2007-05-19 22:40:18 +0000 UTC]

True, but I'm thinking of things like Fire Blast, Thunder, Etc. Many of the most powerful generic "lots of critters can use these" TMs use special attack, particularly among the ones you can buy extra copies of.
