Followed the lead on Virtual Pokemon Pet signatures. Made sense. Rarely checked the stats thread, even as a Followed Thread. Discovered how to do it well thanks to the Entertainment & Media Olympics signature badge.
Coincided with wanting something special for the puzzle Gourgeist, also. Preferred not to use the event's Pumpkaboo art for a Gourgeist. Remembered handheld digital pet art from years ago. Suited this perfectly. May or may not keep up new versions for every Pokemon. Designed it to not be too difficult, artistically-speaking. Racks up time animating it, though.
