Awesome updates! I especially love the VS image you posted with the grass starters; Petaldon's pose looks really cool. =D
Sneakrat also looks good, though my only issue is that its arms and feet (mainly arms) look a little flat... kind of like a cutout. But even so, I love its design and smile, adds to the personality. :3! Nice work!

#133 -- Eevee - Normal
#753 --lv@Wind Rock-> Galeon - Flying
This is essentially blasphemy, or as close as it gets, since I'm probably the number one person to try talking people out of making eeveelutions that don't make sense.
Because the concept behind Eevee is that it is a perfectly normal pet-like pokemon,
which upon exposure to a pure source of elemental energy undergoes a complete transformation, essentially fully gaining said elemental abilities.
That's what Eevee has always been about. And that's why I still stand at calling "********" whenever I see people make ones for silly types (especially Bug, Ghost, Dragon). I mean, what's it gonna be exposed to; a beetle rock, feel the aura of insectness and turn into a different kind of animal? Go and make a new pokemon that evolves into different species then, Eevee was never meant to do that.
The other types could be argued about (Ground/Rock/Steel, Fight/Poison), but my main counterargument is that these don't have that certain elemental feel, they're too much about physical stuff/minerals and startegy/technique.
So how the heck did I get to Flying?
Obviously anyone sticking wings on an Eevee and changing its colour is just as silly as any of the above.
It's Normal/Flying by all means in that case.
If a freaking balloon and a dragon with clouds for wings don't justify being true Flying pokemon, then a winged rodent doesn't even remotely.
One really core element has always been Wind. But there is no Wind type in Pkmn. For a good reason though. There simply isn't much you can do with it that wouldn't just as well fit into a few other types. There's things like Leaf Tornado and Leaf Storm, which would obviously stay Grass even if Wind existed as a type. Same if there was Sandstorm-esque moves etc. It's more of a side-effect or an extra. Just like light could be an attribute of Electric or even Fire (And Flash is Normal, with the only pkmn learning it being a Bug type, Volbeat..), making it a type doesn't make sense with how types are set up.
But moves that incorporate wind, but have zero relation with any actual type, the move does usually end up with being Flying, but even here you have exceptions like Whirlwind and Razor Wind where Normal seems to work just fine.
Thinking about all this, making an eeveelution whose look would not scream "Normal/Flying!" seemed like a big challenge. The result is Galeon.

I like the fire starter, it's original because the water starter looks too much like Totodile/Mudkip and the grass starter looks too much like Treecko.

Wow! Everything looks super awesome! The region maps even look official!
Plus, how did make those badges? I tried making some and they turned out horrible.

If you thought Excadrill is broken. Heres one with some extras:
#758 --Sand Stone-> Krushlion - Ground / Bug
I made the badges like ages ago.
Well I drew them, scanned them, did the lines in PS, then coloured and added the effect by drawing half opaque blue stripes over them..
Everyone seems to wonder about the badges, and I'm like, the process was nothing special, just messing around and trying to figure out how photoshop works back then.
The real work was coming up with genuine shapes for them.

Wow, I really don't know what to say. You've clearly put an insane amount of time into this project, and my did it ever pay off! All of this is simply amazing — the Pokémon, the region. You've got my support all the way.
