Of the 649 Pokemon that comprise the 5 Pokemon generations, less than 55 of them are non-legendary Pokemon that cannot evolve. These are the Pokemon that are often forgotten, unless Game Freak decides to revive a Pokemon by augmenting the evolutionary line. An example being, Magmar; Magmar used to be a non-evolving Pokemon, until the second generation, when Magby was introduced as a pre-evolution. Then, in the fourth generation of pokemon Magmortar was introduced as an evolution from Magmar.

This pixel art contest will test how well you can revive a Pokemon's evolutionary line by creating a Pokemon, of your very own, to help complete a non-evolving Pokemon's evolutionary line.

And which timezone would this be?
Thanks for the question!

Due to the different time zones, I will extend the deadline through THURSDAY, 23rd @ 8:00 AM EASTERN. That will ensure that everyone gets a chance to work on the sprite on Wednesday evening.

Thanks for everyone who submitted an entry! The results will be announced soon!

Now the Results!!!
(I'll spare you the drum-roll)

First Place
Doranddragon's Relicanth Evolution





Creativity: 5/10- The concept is fairly basic; there is not a lot of significant changes other than size and maturity from the original relicanth sprite.
Design: 8/10- The mouth and face are very well shaped. The winding tail in the back has very nice shape, with the exception of the very end of the tail, which is a bit flat.
Execution: 10/10- The shading of the sprite is extremely excellent, very little to critique here!

Total - 23/30




Second Place
Emolga's Emolga Evolution




Creativity: 9/10- The bolt cape and storm cloud fur are extraordinarily incorporated into the sprite.
Design: 6/10- The arm and feet placements are a bit stagnate, since they are equal on both sides, but the thunder cloud design is very well shaped into the sprite.
Execution: 7/10- The shades are a bit too light on the head and ears, they should be a bit blacker. The cape could also use better lining and shading. The From the face down to the body, the shading is quite good.

Total 22/30



Third Place
Intoxicated's Druddigon Pre-Evolution



Creativity: 5/10- Conversely with the Relicanth evolution, the sprite seems to be basic in it's concept since the sprite is simply less mature and smaller.
Design: 7/10- The face is very cute! The mouth and tooth placement are perfect. I would have loved to see claws on the hands, and more shape to the tail; the top line of the tail is a bit to flat.
Execution: 6/10- The face and legs are shaded and colored well, I have a bit of a problem with the belly though; it needs to be simplified a bit, the darker shade is too dominate.

Total- 18/30




Honourable Mentions:

Spinda Evolution




Ditto Evolution
