Description

Just recently, I sketched three creatures based on three randomly generated shapes.


Then SAB1113 commented that "They look like starter Pokemon..."

He was absolutely right.


And golly - if I loved them before I don't what word to use now. Tiny pixel art is so fun. I also wrote up their evolutions and notbobby125 provided some superb descriptions:


Mouspurt, Mousplash, Hydrodent: A quick, hard hitting, but fragile Pokémon. It's final evolution is a Water/Fighting that focuses on kicking moves like High Jumping Kick. Its stance becomes bipedal with a foot in the air. Its ability is Giant Feet, which increases the power of all Kick moves (such as High Jump Kick, Low Kick, and Blaze Kick) by 20% (similar to how Iron Fist increases the power of all punching moves by 20%).

Ivyan, Ivyplume, Floravian: This is the more balanced Pokémon of this generation, but it's more of a support Pokémon who uses healing moves like Leach Seed, Wish, and Aqua Ring to help its teammates. Its final evolution is a bird, but the red cap on its tail becomes an arrangement of fruit. Its ability is a new ability, Tropical Fruit, which increase the effectiveness of all healing moves by 25% (even on moves like Leech Seed after it has switched).

Crablaze, Crabrupt, Infermit: The slowest and tankiest of the starter Pokémon, it is slow but can take a lot more hits than the other two. It's final evolution is a pure Fire type and the blaze patterns on it's claws has continued to grow so the body is almost entirely hidden when viewed straight on. It's ability is Claw Shield, which reduces the effectiveness of Rock and Ground attacks by 50% (which effectively means only water type attacks deal super effective damage against it).


So, credit to SAB1113 and notbobby125 for their rad ideas.

Haha, you did all of the work! I just said what I saw and you rolled with it... and look where it took you. They look amazing and I can't wait to see more from your fakemon universe.

Still, I won't settle without you having at least a little credit. ;D

WOW - that's fantastic!  


I don't think I'm as Pokémon savvy as you, but each of them sounds so fitting. I love how you've not only added effects to their physic features, but continued that into their whole evolution arcs. Very well done.


Say - do you mind if I add this to description and make this a three-way collaboration of sorts?

Oh my god, these are AMAZING! Love the revised designs and pixel art. Really hope, we get to see the evolutions at some point.

Aw, thanks so much! Yeah, the first sketches were great starting points, but it was super fun making them more "pokémon-y". Not sure if I'll take the evolutions beyond their names - but really glad you like 'em.

Aaaaaaand the current of inspiration sees a loosely hanging cable and jumps into another imagination network....

(Sorry for the bad metaphors; I can be a bit obsessed with them )

Well done, anyway, reminds me to start working on my fakemon too (I'm lazy )

Oh yea, definitely. Maybe you should do more of those randomly generated shapes for their evolution Might be fun, you know?

ZedEdge In reply to CR-tist [2018-05-18 13:28:50 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah - you're totally right! Not sure when/if I'll get around to doing more, but one could probably make a whole generation of Pokémon with a shape generator. I love it.

Thank you thank you! I was very tempted to add their evolutions - but to keep all my projects rolling, I'll probably just leave them as names for now.
