    I like the concept of Squirry and it's evolutions a lot, but the design of Squirry looks very "plain" right now. Compared to your last one, it at least took a concept such as using a mask overlay as its face, which made it interesting. Remember that Pokémon tend to have very different aesthetics when placed against real world animals, which is what makes them unique.

    If we look at another squirrel for example, such as Pachirisu, you can tell it's based on a Squirrel, but has features and designs that let the viewer know it's not "just a squirrel". Considering you have a mask theme going on for the evolutions, why not play on that? An example could be making it look very rugged with a bandit mask, and when given the beautiful mask items, make it more extravagent. Like Cinderella or something.

    Long story short, I think the concept has lots of potential, so make use of it! :D
    You don't necessarily have to use the mask overlay thing from the last design again, but in my opinion it's much more fun to look at than that normal face it has now :)

    I have to agree that Normal types are hard to make non-plain, but there's never any harm in making it a wee bit different!

    Since you used Rattata as an example, let's dissect its design a little more. First, you're right that it's a plain design. In this case, it adds nothing to it different from a rat, such as wings, or claws, or anything of the sort. It's a plain rat.

    However, if you look beyond that, you'll begin to notice why it's so different from a rat. Here's a list:
    -it's purple. There's no such thing as a purple rat.
    -the tail curls at the end, something very unusual in rats.
    -the whiskers are thick and part of the face, rather than thin hairs like a real rat
    The idea behind Rattata is that it isn't tryin to be some special Pokémon with flare. But, it still manages to convey that it's different even if it's those very small changes, which make a big difference.

    I understand you're trying to make it plain, so maybe some ideas is to play around with things like a tail shape, or a design on its body! :D

    Sorry if I'm coming off as a bit fussy, though. I just really like the concept and evos and wanted this guy to be as unique as them :)

  • Just got home after being gone for two days, so I'll update the main post in a little bit!

    But, as far as mega evolutions go guys, keep in mind that the total base stat increase should be one hundred, and HP does not increase

    oops, as far as stats go I don't know much so I just made it have similar total stats to mega-mewtwo and made them all the same number :P feel free to have someone else come up with better stats

    Thanks for critiquing it :3.

    The problem with making the design more complicated is that Squirry is designed with plain in mind. I mean, for one thing it's normal type, and often times normal types (Rattata, for instance) have a plain design. I designed it so that it appeared rather dull compared to it's evolutions, which utilize the masque to become more flashy and unique.


    Anyway, I see what you mean about making it more than just a cartoon animal. I can try expanding on it's basic design a bit, but I'll have to think about what I could add.
    I've found that part of the trick to making plain animals look more Pokémon-y is to change the shape of the body parts. Rattata, besides the curly tail that Sunfished already mentioned, has a much larger and rounder head than a real rat, in order to make its face more expressive.

    Since Squirry and its evolutions focus on the masks it wears, I would suggest making the face rounder and more prominent, maybe with some tufts of fur where the masque will go. Right now its body has the most focus, since its legs and head are small and lack details.

  • Ah! Nearly two weeks since there's been a post here. I'm slowly adding designs to the first post, and here's an old design I'll be adding in as well. I didn't completely finish the info, but I figured I may as well post what I've got for now. c;

    I might try to get an updated design in, or maybe see if someone wants to make a sprite for her, but as far as the technical info goes, the main thing I need to fix is her learnset. She learns a new move basically every two or three levels, which is a bit cluttered. What I might do is see which ones can be converted into TM/Tutored Moves and take them out of her level up moves. I'll also need to do egg moves, so there's that.

  • How about Aeneas, Anchises and Ascanius respectively? :3
    You mean, like, from The Aeneid? How did you come up with these names?

    Edit: sorry, that sounds kind of rude. I mean, I don't get the basis or etymology of these names, like, I don't get the bug-y connection.

    Also, as comments, I'd like to say those are very amazing sprites Esper and Kamushi! :O
    I really love how clean and "sharp" your sprites are, Esper, but at the same time I'm amazed by how intricate and well detailed yours are, Kamushi.
    I'd love to see more fakemon done in those styles!

    I'll add Furvia here once I redesign her. I'll see about completing the designs for Delcrofet and maybe redoing the Bapye line. Or if anyone wants to make some sprites for them, that would be neat. c:

    I'm also looking to grab Laelab and Oneirox, but I'm waiting for a response from the original designer of Laelab. Oneirox's original designer hasn't been on pc for over a year, so I'm not sure what I'll do about that lol.

    Now I'm going to start adding designs to the first post. :3
