The only criticism I have for these is that on Skoul the outline is a little bright (or maybe it's just me) on his lower back and into his tail. Other than that I really like them and may(more like probably because I can't make good fakemon and want to incorporate some into my hack) ask for your permission to use some.

Hm, these aren't bad as fakemon go, and I'm glad to see they're being put to use in hacks and fangames and the like. (You should work for Uranium!) However, I simply can't bear to see when a thread simply goes like this with no valuable discussion going on, so I'm going to give you some constructive criticism to help you improve in the future. Mmk? So listen close.

Your shading is the most noticeable flaw in terms of mechanics. While you're sticking with an upper-left lightsource all right, you seem to be a bit liberal with the highlights, and they get all over the place. A bit better selection can really put more oomph into 'em when you do use them. Also, work on texture shading-- it's different for if it's scales, fur, or metallic.

Your designs are the other big thing, and this is where I'm kind of disappointed, actually. :/ You've got the skills, but you're not making an effort to make good quality, creative fakes. Some Pokemon in the first gen were balls or simple shapes, it's true, but they made it work. Making a metal ball with eyes and slits for a mouth and trying to pass it off as a respectable fake way wow people who don't know the difference, but I really think you have the capability to go much farther. Don't settle for the mundane "fireball" or "snowman" or "dragon" motif. Think of new and interesting ways to incorporate all ideas. Concepts are as much a part of the fakemon as the sprite itself.

Okay! I hope that was at least somewhat helpful. :3 Keep spriting, while taking my suggestions into account~ (also, the CSS on your first post is rather... eyeblinding. x_x Just saying.)

I havent really worked on textures yet I know how to put in a fur texture but not scales
My designs...... yay I could probaly make much better designs but it is still pretty difficult for me to do a four legged fakemon
Ya I should probaly change the color for the css Ill change it to a nice dark shade of blue......

Thanks ZephyrPlusle I really like your fakemon work too

Ok you have alot of fakemon so this is gonna take alot of space.



Floturn:


The criticism: The right arm is a very noticeable flaw, its a little to thin and/or small.

The praise: Electric/Pyschic is something nintendo should have come up with first so props to you! I like the position and color choice that goes together with floturn. I notice no pixels out of place either.

*Lights dim*
The rating: 9.5/10. Thats an odd rating, I cant rate it 9 nor can I rate it 10.

Shellos ( North and south ) :

The criticism: The left lobe on S.N is on the small side and should be made bigger, while the tail is positioned to low.

The praise:
No double pixels, no shading problems... these are right near perfect. I like S.S design.

The rating:

S.N: 9/10
S.S 10/10

Flarit:

The criticism: That position looks so familiar... like it was on another fakemon or thats just me. The color is pretty bright so I suggest making it darker. It also seems to be floating, the bottom of the sprite needs to be flat and squiggly.

The praise: *Hangs sign* Critiques note: It gets anoying when I cant find words for this section. Therefore im skipping these to get right to the rating.

* Jaws theam *
The rating: 8/10

Gralite:
Its a bird! Its a plane! Its Super man! No no wait... Super man has a cape...

The criticism: The right wing looks odd in that position, try moving it down the body a little.

Dah rating yo: 8/10 ( yes the wing looks that odd )


The ideas ( Oh noez! ) :
1. Gastrodon north and south.
2. Shinys.

Thats all im going to do until you see my opinion. Hope you like it!

Almost all if not all are just edits of Pokemon (Ponyta, Dratini, Dragonair, Shellos, Shuppet, Gallade, etc) so they're not all that original. They do look very nice, though. (you should change the background color, though. It makes most of the sprites look two-dimensional.)

ok here are the others.




snowan:

the criticism: um... how do i put this... it doesnt have that special pokemon feel, probly because its just a midget snowman. as ZephyrPlusle said

you should follow his advice.

the rating: 6/10


catana:
very creative name lol.


the criticism:
the tail looks like it was caught in a bear trap, all crumpled up and small. maybe you should try making it bigger.


the rating: 9.5/10
oh folks and the crowd goes wild over this!


rallin:


the criticism: you have quit a shading problem on the head, id fix that if I were you.

the rating: 9/10


nistar:


the criticism: well i think the design is sorta odd for a dark/flying type, but thats just me 0.o. i also see some shading and pixel isues.

the rating: 8/10


skoul:

the criticism: the pixels on the tippy top of the neck bug me, they need to be more curved. the color choice is... odd.

a moment of silence please...
the rating: 8/10


skoulith:


the criticism: it looks like you slightly edited the head of skoul and then made the body longer and the armor spikes are a little sloppy.

the rating:8/10


these are some of my first reports. later on ill be looking up close at the pixels and pointing out directly what the problem is.

Your fakemon are really good. The shading on Snowman is a bit off. It looks a bit flat. Also, Floturn is especially creative and original. I suggest you try to make more like it ^-^ New Pokémon and fakemon have a tendency to copy and recycle the Pokémon already existing, which becomes very boring after a while. So, I really think your Floturn is very good, because it's made carefully and well and it is, as I said, very original.
Skoul and Skoulith have some oddities in their outline, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Sorry for not being more helpful on this, but I can't really tell what's off about those outlines. Maybe it's the random black pixels, I don't know.
I also really like your alternative forms for Shellos. Especially the upper one is a real masterpiece.

What really bugs me, though, is the blindingly blue background. I find it really hard to focus on the sprites for any longer than few seconds because the background starts to hurt my eyes. Nothing wrong with blue, though, but the shade of blue you're using is really tiring to the eyes. So, if there's any change you could change the color, I'd be really thankful. Also, I think some less bright color would give a better first impression, but of course that's only my opinion.

I hope I was at least of some help!
