I agree with Zayphora's VM, the Herdier sprite you post when locking a thread is well, a sign you are a Herdier Fangirl.
I'm even considering getting another Lillipup on GPX+ and name her Nica, as a homage to you. I'll let her evolve into Herdier but never let her evolve into Stoutland.
You are my fave mod Nica!
