Flurp, and nameless ducks (though one is Wallard)
Flurp is my newest sprite, so it is still in the tweaking stages. Its feet need a lot of work, but everything else is fine imo. I like the way the water ducks look, but the problem I have with them is that they are fairly boring. I'm not a big fan of Water types anyway :/.
Incomplete lines of the other starters. Flurp the fire frog takes a similar role to the Totodile line; it can take and dish out hits but is a little on the slow side. I thought it was about time we had a fire starter who wasn't a lightning brawler (though Blaziken has sort of average speed).
There's nothing much to say on the Water ducks. They have great special stats and good Speed.
Ninjami, Ninjamya, and Ninjaruka.
These three have a very special place in my heart, for they were the first Pokemon I made up, many years ago. I like the way Ninjami looks the best. Ninjaruka is one of those sprites I liked a lot at the time I made it, but now I find her pose really bland and unbalanced, especially compared to Dandijack (who I sprited not long after Ninjaruka). And now that I look at it, Ninjamya is having smoothness issues with its belly and right leg (its right).
Ninjami is a Poison/Fighting type who is found fairly early. It is not a Rattata equivalent. It is fast and has good Attack. The final form, Ninjaruka, becomes Dark/Fighting and also immune to Poison.
Iglet, Pignite, and Pignition
I am fairly happy with these sprites. Pignition may get a re-sprite one day. Its legs bother me a lot and it looks too much like Pumbaa from the Lion King.
People tend to complain about lack of Fire types in Pokemon games. Iglet will be found relatively early. While Iglet is very timid and shy, Pignite is rather feral and ornery. Pignite makes its home in wetlands where it messes up the ecosystem by devouring any plantlife or Pokemon eggs it can find. Wild Pignition are extremely feared Pokemon. They are Fire/Dark type.
Fledglet and Scrowl
I'm mostly satisfied with these sprites, except Scrowl's wing. Birds are really hard for me for some reason.
Your generic early-game bird. Fledglet is a little different in that it is pure Normal type who becomes Normal/Flying upon evolution. This line does have a 3rd form who is not sprited yet.
Porcumine and Burrowatt
Electric/Ground Porcupines. Porcumine is actually the first one I sprited of this batch. I like how Burrowatt looks, except that its shading and quills seem off. I imagine them as being similar to the Sandshrew line in terms of strength, but probably better Special Attack.
Porcumine is very timid by nature. It prefers to stay buried under ground, and will shock an enemy and then run away rather than fight. Burrowatt, on the other hand, is extremely territorial. It bravely challenges anything who enters its territory, swinging it dangerous, spiked tail.
Scorchops, Triscorch, Saburr, and Sabredon
I like how all of these sprites came out except for Saburr's face. It looks too flat. All of these are re-dos of older sprites. I should post some of my laughably bad old sprites sometime.
The fire dinosaurs, once starters, are now fossils, with the ice cats being their counterparts. The dinosaurs are Fire/Ground while the cats are pure Ice.
Thrickle, Coyobi, and Gileye
Gileye may get a redesign in the future. I am not liking its chibi proportions, especially since it's a non evolving Pokemon.
All three of these Pokemon are desert dwellers. Based on the horny toad, pure Grass Thrickle shoots blood from its red eyes to scare off predators, if its thorny hide doesn't work. It has an evolution named Diabuaro, who does not have a final design yet.
Coyobi the Ground/Psychic coyote, and Gileye the Poison/Dark gila monster, I can see as being counterparts in a way. Neither evolve and their typings are super-effective against eachother.
Woolbee, Bumbuzz, and Crownarch.
Woolbee took about 3 or 4 tries til it came out the way I liked. Both Woolbee and Crownarch I made today, Bumbuzz is a few months old. I'll probably tighten up Crownarch's outlining as time gos on and I notice more flaws.
This bee line (snerk) is not terribly ground-breaking, but they are interesting in a few ways. Woolbee evolves at a low level (between 10 and 15), but Bumbuzz requires the extremely rare Royal Jelly item to evolve into Crownarch. The entire family is pure Bug. Bumbuzz's ability is Levitate while Crownarch has Thick Fat. In addition to its ability, Crownarch has very high defenses and many support moves to make up for its poor speed.
Names Pending
I like these guys. I find purple (and blue) hard to work with, but they came out ok, I think. Need to improve on the big one's floofies, though.
If the little one looks like an Eevee to anyone... it's because its design is based on an old Ice Eeveelution of mine from about a decade ago. I miss eeveelutions having a mane as their trademark :/. Anyway, the small fox is obviously based on the arctic fox. This Pokemon is rare because it was over-hunted for its fur. When it runs, it whips up a small, chilling whirlwind to distract its foes.
The evolved fox is blindingly fast. It is associated with harsh, winter winds. Nobody knows if its eerie howls are produced vocally or by its breezes.
As for names. Someone suggested Spritz, which makes me think of sodas. It may work for the smaller one, whose placeholder name is Wispup. Other name ideas are Breezoro (lol Zoroark) and Howlopex (from howl and alopex, the order of arctic foxes). Names are hard :/.
Wemur
It is a pure Electric type who eventually becomes an Electric/Fighting gorilla. Not much to say about it. Because it is more "exotic" than my other mostly North American Pokemon, it may be found only in the Safari Zone or its equivalent.
