>>15027538Well I don't have terrible problems with the starters. I see room for improvement, but I love the themes of them. Especially the grass bird. Those wings very nice of an idea. The biggest problem I have with them would be that the X on the evolved water guy, and the knee and hand plating seem to be slightly out of place. A smoother transition there might improve it. If you really are serious could you link a higher res version of them? I can't tell you a whole lot from these low res, and with the case of the first two low quality images.
It is hard for me to suggest too much improvements as the pokemon seem to fit together in terms of art style. Which is good, but it makes it hard to criticize too much without being more familiar with the pokemon and the rest of the game.
At the end of the day I have seen a lot worse designs from Gamefreak so I wouldn't feel bad about the starters even if you have issues with them.
