I do kind've like the guy who you lost respect for's idea of Farfowl, though chances are it's plagiarized. Have you ever considered making him a split evolution of Farfetch'd and the other type? (Swan I believe you said?) Like, either based on personality value, or if ____ is holding a leek, it will evolve into Farfetch'd? XD
Hm ... I'm already facing a problem with split evolutions in my region because I have a bunch already. The official games usually have a small number of split evolutions to make them rare and more sought by others. In my opinion though, I don't think Farfetch'd needs a pre-evo, since it already has below average stats and a very basic moveset (correct me if I'm wrong). An evolution would suit it better.
However, I might consider your suggestion as it seems pretty nifty to have in a game. Also, the evolution for Mr. Soon-to-be-Named Duckling is based on a duck, since there are so many duckling/swan pokemon made by others. ;D

Well, this might be a better name for the middle evolution than the duckling, but I thought of Aquack, from aqua + quack. Or you could use Quackling (quack + duckling) or Ponduck (pond + duck, although again, this would probably fit an evolution better).
Thanks for the suggestions Cyberglass, but I can't pick a name for the evolution before finalizing it's design; that's why I'm going to keep Aquack and Ponduck on hold until I'm done spriting it.
Best I came up with was:
Anatidae + Marine = Anatine or Maridae? (Anatidae is the species name of ducks, whereas, they are Marine life.)
I love those names. There's one problem within them though, and that's because they're too complex for my basic-stage duckling. Like I mentioned in my reply to Cyberglass, I'll be putting those two names on hold until I finalize the evolution's design(s).
o-o naming is a challenge... I accept thy challenge in the name of SPARTA!!!!
Anywho... o-o
-Laloon - (Lagoon + Loon (a species very similar to ducks)
-Toddle - (Toddler + Waddle)
-Lagoose - (Lagoon + Goose)
-Cooti - (Coot, pun on Cutie)
-Bubbay - (Bubble, Baby, and/or Bay)
No comment about the names here, they all suit a basic stage. Nice Work! *thumbs up*
Hi Dots, I'm new on Pokecommunity and I think your sprites are the best on here :D
I've got a few suggestions for the un-named bird pokemon;
Flochick (Float and Chick)
Floddle (Float and Waddle)
Swaddle (Swan and Waddle)
Pondot (Pond and Tot or Pond and Dot)
Wartot (Water(swapped letters around) and Tot)
Paddill (Paddle and Bill (swapped D for D)(Play on word of Paddle)
And maybe for an evolution
Torrult (Torrent and Adult)
Currult (Current and Adult)
Tsunerent (Tsunami and Parent)
Shorlenger (Shore and Teenager)
You've got a pretty long list there. =D I can't judge the ones for the evolution at this time though, so we'll have to wait until I'm finished spriting it. ^^'

Cyberglass's Suggestion(s):
~
Quackling -
It's adorable, but it's too long for my preferences. A simpler, more effective name might have worked with those words. There's still a chance for winning though, since you have two names on hold. ^^
Colbex's Suggestion(s):
~
Laloon and
Lagoose -
It's a duckling ... end of story. I'm sorry to say, but those two names don't fit with the criteria even though I like the pun in the first one and the beat of the second. ^^
~
Cooti -
I like it, but it's not a winner because I don't find it so appealing or striking. T^T
~
Bubbay -
Nice pun on the words; however, it's too long and I don't think it suits a pokemon species name. Sorry ...
~
Toddle -
I really like this one. ^^ It's a pun on words but it still stand alone as a proper word. It also has the right ring/beat for this pokemon. ^^
Rhy-rhy's Suggestion(s):
~
Swaddle -
I can't use 'swan' in a duckling pokemon's name. =(
~
Flochick and
Floddle -
I'm not such a big fan of those, even though I like them. I guess having Floatzel (did I spell it correctly?) around with a similar typing contributes to that.
~
Pondot -
I love it. Only problem is that it sounds more like 'pun dot' than 'pond-ot', I still like how my username is included though. ^^
~
Wartot -
Again, existing pokemon are bothering me. Why must Squirtle's evolution be called a similar name: Wartortle. T^T
~
Paddil -
I like that. It sounds sweet and fitting for a pokemon. ^^
***
And the winner is ...
...
...
...
. . .
TODDLE! (This was a little obvious ... right?)
Actually, it wasn't. I was stuck between Paddil and Toddle and it seemed like a tie, so I just picked the one that sounded softer. No harsh feelings anyone, okay ... ? I'm sure you'll all get a chance later on. ^^
(Toddle, the Duckling Pokémon)
There's no real reason why I picked the name ... I just happened to like it and all. It's adorable and it suits the concept perfectly in my opinion. ^^ Also, you're deserving of a sprite Colbex, so send me the request as a PM, and I'll see what I can do. I just want to let you know that I'm still not done with PokemonSkySD's request though, and I'm currently in the middle of the final exams, so there's going to be a little delay. T^T

I can't believe I neglected to post in my thread for four days. It has to be the pressure from the finals that prevented me from writing this lengthy post. Do forgive me guys, okay? ^^

Oh and by the way:
The fat duckling thing should be called fatuck which evolves into psyduck!
I am so ignoring your post Bzhuan.

And I guess that's all for now. ^^
