Thank you for the comments and suggestions everyone :)
Sorry, it took me a while to reply...expect a big"ish" update next week.
I don't know if this will conform with your requirements for design ideas; but I think you could expand on fakemons with more formes. Give them a twist of some kind, a item that changes its typing, or something coordinating with the seasons, you know? When I have fakemon-artist-block, stuff like that always worked as a nice conduit between innovations.
But besides that, I've always liked the idea of a filigree fairy~

I just went through and added tons of formes, thanks for the suggestion.
Sweetort, for instance will have a dark chocolate "bitter" form, an ice/dark type. The original being the strawberry "sweet" form.
Also, I am now doing a coo coo clock owl pokemon. To be a bit different from the Sawsbuck approach to a seasons theme, I decided to do a "nostalgia" or "holiday" species. Meaning, winter will be Christmas-related (Snow owl-angel); spring, Easter-related (Mother Hen); Summer, 4th of July-related (Patriotic Bald-Eagle); and Autumn, Halloween-related clocks (Witch-Crow).
Wow, those are some amazing stuff you've got there; love 'em. :] My most favorite would be Ponsese. That looks just simply adorable, haha. Is Rhombish supposed to be its evolution, or is it a completely different Pokémon? I also really like Harborosa, but whenever I look at it, though, I always get Murkrow. I'm guessing this is what it was inspired by? Also, is LeaderDaisy an actual Pokémon, or...? If it is, then that's pretty interesting. Keep up your work; really looking forward to see more from you!
Thank you very much :)
For Ponsense, I am doing chess piece evolutions, with card suits thrown in the mix given the random nature of the evolution. Rhombish is diamond(rhombus)+Bishop pokemon. I thought it was a fun idea given that pawns can "evolve" into any other piece on the board...well, not a king (though I will do one anyway :p)
Well, Harborosa is more of a Pirate/Parrot pokemon, though it does have a sinister disposition.
I tried to see if I could remove dex numbers so I could feature some gym leader sprites at the end of the dex...but it is obviously too confusing! I will make separate trainer cards soon.
I'm kinda using this idea, but I don't see why I can't share. A Rose Lion.
I know different concepts can come from the same origin. Why not share ideas with fellow designers?
Don't worry, I fused the idea strawberry had with yours. Now I am thinking a silver and gold Filigree Rose Lion (steel or steel/fairy). A regal and ornate/statuesque pokemon. The idea is loosely based on the popular lion busts. This worked out great since I cannot make anymore grass type pokemon; I have exceeded my limit!
