Wow, there's a lot to unpack here. I like how these old designs give a bit more insight into the design process. For example, Aipom seems to have been initially based more directly on an ahuizotl, without any monkey influences, and the proto-Sneasel looks more like an actual weasel. With the...

Icons! Gen VI style. Also, I decided to try my hand at some Gen II style sprites, starting with some of my favorite Gen IV evolutions:

Still haven't finished the rival's battle sprite, but I did finish another evolution line (including re-drawing the base form more on-model): Kaketaiji and Taitaika, Fighting-types. "Kaketaiji" is a combination of kakedashi, Japanese for "beginner", and Tai Chi. "Taitaika", similarly, is a...

I've been working on drawing more human characters lately; here is the vs sprite for your rival: See if you can figure out what's on her shirt before I finish the full-body sprite! I also went back and redesigned the pre-evolution of Urfin: Sandol is a Water-type, and is based on a sand...

My first time through, Garchomp killed my Ice-type (I don't even remember what it was) so I had to Toxic stall it with my Crobat, using Fly + Black Sludge to recover from the initial Dragon Rush... I'm still not sure how I pulled that one off. More recently, I've had some success with a Levitate...

Bewaift is pure Ghost-type. I'm not a fan of most Fakemon myself, so reactions like yours are exactly what I'm aiming for when I design. It means I'm on the right track. Save

The concepts are okay, but I see two main things you could work on improving: one, the evolutions don't look different enough from their base form; both the evolutions here look like they could be the same as before, but in a different pose. Compare with something like Rattata to Raticate, or...

Considering that there are potentially four tiki guardians, and Legendaries usually only come in groups of two or three, a new category wouldn't be out of the question.

Very nice! I envy your ability to sprite human characters. The only critique I have on this new batch is that some of the details on the white-haired woman (sorry, I don't recognize the character) look a bit indistinct, especially her fingers. Other than that, these look great!

I've had the first two of these finished for a while, but I wanted to post the whole evolutionary line at once. Pebblos, Stoulder, and Saurolith. Rock-type. These are actually not fossils, just a rarer cave Pokémon. Based on stalagmites and balancing stones, with sauropod forms.

Possamp & co. are intended to be Pikaclones, yes, so they do share the same basic body structure, but I did not "use" the Raichu line. All three were sprited from scratch, and I did not intentionally copy their poses from anywhere. I have never used the process you seem to be implying anywhere...

Thanks for the critique! I'm not sure what you mean by "scratch-made poses" and "bases", though... my general process is to sketch the design, then draw the pixel art from scratch using the sketch as a reference. The only times I can think of that would count as using a base is that I did base...

Only for the starters so far. I do have party icons for most of them, though. I've been debating whether to post them or just keep with front sprites until I release the actual game/demo.

It's been a while, hasn't it? Have some more Fakemon. Skrattail: the muskrat Fakemon. Water-type. Cattails form a large part of the diet of real muskrats, so it was only natural to combine the two. Vandecoot: Poison/Electric-type. I feel like the enemy team in my games will like using these...

I assumed the Steel-typing on Solgaleo was a reference to the White Tiger of the West in Chinese and Japanese mythology, which represents the element of metal in the Chinese five-element system as well as the direction West (corresponding to the setting sun), the color white, and the season of...
