Pokémon Grey

[blueguy]

I've been trying very hard to brainstorm some new Pokémon lately. I decided I really didn't like Arcticub, so here's the new Water Starter. It's Brelaphant! I love it so much. :3 I just look at it and want to hug it and put it on my team. Okay, nerd moment over. ;D I hope you guys like it too. I think it's one of my best designs so far. Hopefully, I'm getting better.



I would really appreciate any comments, or opinions you guys have! Thanks. Later! ;P

It takes a lot to make me say this, so be proud.
It's so CUTE!
Alright, my only complaint is that, the blue makes it look a lot like phanpy, oh and I have an idea for the sprite that will make it look less like phanpy, make its trunk out stretched and curved upwards blowing out water and it's looking upwards.

Thanks. ;D Then I'm very proud! Omigod, you have 666 posts! : O But, uh, yeah, for Brelaphant, that's a cool idea for the sprite! I'll just have to see how well I'll pull it off. Although, if its trunk were blowing bubbles it wouldn't be in the spiral shape... Hmm... *thinks*

[Yuoaman]

That thing is so freakishly cute! I just... want... to SQUEEZE it!!! Great job blue.

[Hamako-chan]

Wow that looks so adorable!
I can't wait to see what it evovles into.
I bet the 3rd evolution will look kinda tough instead of cute.

Thanks! As it evolves, I plan for it to have very threatening tusks. It'll be a pretty large Pokémon in its final stages too. I'm still considering whether it will have a second type.

Wow, that's pretty cool. However, there's two problems I can see.
Change the tail; it's identical to Squirtle's.
The head is too far to the right compared to the body, which makes it look really strange; move it to the left by quite a bit.

Thanks! You know, you're right. I've shifted its body over a bit more in the sprite. As for the tail, I do realize it's pretty much a smaller version of Squirtle's. XD I like it though! But I think I'm going to change it too. Thank you for your opinions. ;D I'll update the art soon.

Hm, I can understand you not wanting Articub to be a starter because it looks like an ice type, but are you going to get rid of it altogether? It's the best looking fakemon I've seen in my extremely short time on these boards

And great game so far, keep up the good work

Oh and I'm not a huge fan of the elephant's trunk. I think maybe a regular trunk would look better as opposed to the spiraling one

That's a nice compliment. I dunno if it's necessarily true. ;D I think Arcticub wasn't one of my best sprites or designs. I still like the idea of a polar bear Pokémon though. And yeah, when you think of "polar bear" you don't think of Water-type really.

As for Brelaphant's trunk, it's staying. ;P That's what makes it unique!

Thanks! I'll probably be posting a screen with Brelaphant's sprite tonight, and I'd like to show my region map too.

The art looks great man! That might be my choice just so I can se the final evo lol.

Thanks! I've tweaked it a bit as per Wichu's suggestion, so the link in the first post is updated. Also, I've got Brelaphant's sprite to a near-finished level. Now I'll have to do the backsprite... *cries* Those are harder for me, for some reason. Maybe if I do a sketch it'll help. Anyways... here's a screen with Brelaphant's sprite (work-in-progress) and an obligatory night-time shot in Periwinkle.

[Hamako-chan]

Lol, nice screenies.
Have you made the icons for Brelaphant yet?

[Xelios]

Brelaphant look'z realllly cuddly.........!!!!!!!!!!

Hope he becomes fierce as he evolves.............!!!!!!!!!

[TheRexion]

Some of the sprites look good, but alot others are just plain pathetic. I'm not trying to be mean, you just should try a little harder

Wow. XD Harsh. Well, I'm constantly trying hard, and trying to improve. I appreciate your criticism, although it's pretty much useless if you just generalize like that. :/ If you point out specific examples of what you think is working, and what you think isn't, it will help me to assess what I can improve upon or change.

Yes, I've finished the back sprite and icons for Brelaphant, and I like them quite a bit! I'm not too good on back sprites, but I really made an effort for this one. And the icon is all animated and cute. : P

Right now, I've been tinkering and rearranging the Pokémon summary screen to be as DP-styled as possible. It's going pretty well.

[Blazers]

It looks awesome blueguy!
my only crit is that the sprite shouldn't be the same art as the sigimori.
It's still really good though, keep it up.

Thank you. Yeah, I think I'll play around with the sprite a bit more.

I'm still tinkering with the summary screen. I'm really happy with the progress!

[Yuoaman]

Everything is looking very good blueguy, that sprite looks pretty nice.

[blueguy]

Just posting a small update to show you Brelaphant's backsprite, as well as the summary screen as it is now. I'm going to be changing around a few minor details, and some of the colors etc., but I really like the D/P-style summary screen. If you compare it with past generations, it just flows so well and makes much more sense.

Also, tonight I'm going to be doing the Sugimori-style art for the Grass-type Starter. Expect a silhouette in the next few days or so.

Oh, and thanks to Waudby for locating the experience bar. ;D

Looks good bro! Nice work on that summary screen and the backsprite.

[Likewise]

It looks great blue guy!
The backsprite is a bit big, and some of the shading is really akward...
btw where did you get the summary screen graphics?

[Waudby]

I really like the small update, the sprites look really well done. Congrats.

And the summary screen is looking good too :D

It's probably bigger since I was referencing the size of other D/P backsprites, however, Brelaphant is a pretty hefty Starter. ;D I'm gonna tweak the shading on its sprites, actually.

Also, I ripped the graphics, so if you need anything in particular from D/P, I'll see what I can do. I think most things have been put on Spriters Resource, but there are some things that still haven't.

Thanks everyone. ^__^
