I can also help making the starters (divide the work with PokemonXP).
I like the maps, it's good to see people are giving a good use to my island/beach tutorial :D
EDIT
I made my very first scratch sprites ever of a starter pokemon and it's evolutions and they came out better than I expected XD:
You can decide their names, I will do the backs later, here they are:
Now I shall explain, the first pokemon is a poison type, it is a worm pokemon that lives near radioactive zones (that explains the two heads) and the horns are for it to sting its oponent with poison,etc,etc
the second pokemon (evolves from the first at lvl 14) has now the heads more next to each other but still separated, it has a kind of material between the heads that is made both of diamond and gold and therefore this pokemon is very valuable, the ring on its tail is made of the same material.
the third pokemon (evolves from the second at level 32) has only one head but it is now very fat and huge because of the genetic mutations it suffered while evolving, it has now the diagold (name of the material) on its head and the material is a sphere of radius 30cm.
The second and third pokemon are rarely seen as they hide from people because they are afraid teams like team rocket might try to kill them to get the diagold.
