So, I decided to design some starter Pokemon to go with my legendary Pokemon, Regasus.
The grass type is Tawnog and it's based off of a groundhog. Its name comes from "groundhog" and "Punxutawny Phil" (the name of the groundhog for Groundhog Day in Pennsylvania). I chose a groundhog because the region I have in mind is based off of my home city of Pittsburgh, PA. Tawnog evolves into a grass/normal type (would've chosen grass/ground, except we already got one of those for a starter in gen 4).
The fire type is Kinder, the fire goat. Its name is actually a double play. It's a combination of "cinder" and "kid" (a baby goat) and the word kinder itself is German for kid/child. I chose a goat because, well, I like goats and I think they'd look badass with fire. Kinder evolves into a fire/psychic type (with its final evo being based on a ram).
The water type is Hippa, a water hippo. Its name is basically a corruption of hippo, but could also be a combination of "hippo" and "aqua." I decided on a hippo because it makes sense. xP Anyway, Hippa starts off quadrupedal, but it evolves into a bipedal water/fighting type.
Lastly, the names of the starter evolutions:
Tawnog -> Hograss -> Punxaton
Kinder -> Ignihorn -> Flaries
Hippa -> Drippotta -> Hydrotamus
This is my first attempt at designing starters, so I hope I did alright. xP
No more comments? I just finished spriting these starters! Shiny forms included. :3
The first two are good / pretty much match the style... the hippo can use some work though, particularly in the legs.No more comments? I just finished spriting these starters! Shiny forms included. :3
You're a great artist. My favorites are Regasus and Troy Ponymalu (xD). Everything looks clean and crisp.
I wish Regasus was a real legendary! It's a really cool design.
Keep up the good stuff!
