Heya~ I've always been a fan of this project, you're showing some pretty neat stuff and are very good for a Fakemon-using game, among the top ones in this forum I'd say. Being a fakemon designer and spriter myself, I'd like to give you some critique and suggestions on the fakemon you posted in the update. They're by and large quite good, I just think that with a little tweaking they could be much more professional-looking. ;D My comments are in bold.
I like your designs as a whole. :3 I'd also like a follow-up to my suggestions, if you can.
Baydeel - Also found in the first few routes of the game. You'll find this one alongside Cripet, Parmal and a few others.
I'm not much of a fan of this one, reason being that I can't quite tell what it's supposed to be exactly. Yes, I got that it's a Normal (or part-normal)-typed earlygame Rodent of some sort, but beyond that I have no idea. What's that thing on its head? Is that a steel helmet or something? And what's that tail supposed to be? What makes this Pokemon unique? Sprite-wise, you could use a little more contrast in the brown area, and use a slightly less bright red for a more natural feel.
Corbloom - Corblooms have a 3 stage evoloution. They also change color according to the day...They're sort of like your watch lol. Does this palette seem odd to you by the way? We had a tough time deciding.
They change color through the day? That's neat! So they're kind of like a floral clock? I look forward to seeing how you implement that gimmick in future evolutions-- perhaps elaborate on the "clock" aspect and give it minor time-controlling powers? Anyhoo, the colors you've got look pretty cool, and I suppose they'll change so if I have a problem with one it'll be different the next hour. xD What bugs me about this is how the petals are sprited-- they don't really look like petals at all, more like random... uh, blobs of stuff, or hair. Look at Meganium for an example of how petals look in official Pokemon sprites, and fix them to look more flowery.
Cobblyx - Can you guess? Did you Guess? Is your guess Correct? Maybe, Cobblyx will be a prevo of Onix. Catch this little thing anywhere in rocky areas.
Cute name. This one's pretty good, although the pose bothers me-- how is it standing? The eye also looks kind of odd-- I'd make it darker in order to distinguish it from the face around it, because it otherwise sort of melds into the body.
Eton - Eton can be found during the night. This pokemon also has a 3 stage evoloution, but as it grows, so do it's colors...What do I mean by that? Well you'll find out.
This thing is cute. ^^ Dark-type, I presume? I like the craftsmanship on this sprite, but the legs strike me as off. Also (perhaps it's just my monitor, but even so), I find it hard to distinguish between its colors since they're all so dark. But whatever, this is one of your best in this update. =D
Laplit - Ah another prevo, this one however was made by my spriter GP_Arts, Thanks Gp. Laplit will be an uncommon pokemon but you'll be able to obtain one ;)
Good sprite, but the design is less so. It could pass for a younger version of Lapras-- the point of prevos is to simplify or exclude parts of the parent. I would shrink the shell to be tiny, or get rid of it altogether, and remove some markings (spots or underbelly, you pick), and make the eyes bigger and make it overall more babyish.
Largoose - Hmmm...Yes Largoose...I'm still debating as to whether this pokemon will be an evoloution to Golduck or have it's own evoloution line. It's your choice everyone.
It's palette looks dirty so I'll be doing some clean up on it's color.
Cool design! I'm not sure what you were intending with it, though. I'd make it its own species and say that it's distantly related to Psyduck, and give it a psyduck-esque prevo to back it up. You're right on needing to change the colors-- saturate them (make them brighter) if you want to make it D/P-styled instead of RSE.
I like your designs as a whole. :3 I'd also like a follow-up to my suggestions, if you can.
