>>12958156Okay, now that it comes to the Bug Leader I actually went out of my way to find a scanner to scan my first rough sketches for a bug leader that I did when I saw how many cool bugs loom around in this dex
yes, I like bugsAlthough I like the Kuzco concept because it suits the theme well, and I'm fine the samurai concept because it makes bugs look cool, I imagined the bug leader to be quite antisocial and seemingly weak, however excelling at pokémon.
I hope the scan is decent. If the Leader is male I thought of a antisocial pokémon-entomologist that doesn't care for much more other than bugs. Because I like Mortasque, I thought of it being his signature pokémon - perhaps he uses his Gym Leader Status to ward people off, much like Mortasque uses its patterns.
If the leader is female, it may be interesting to have her based off of Parisian nobility. She could have fled wherever Paris is for some reason, leaving behind her betrothed/husband/whatnot. Because the wonderful Poodle Moths work similar to waltzing royalty, she uses them. She is also antisocial in that she secludes herself
to grieve or something.
Anyway, literally my first thought when I saw the bugs on the wikia. I like the other concepts, but just thought I'd throw mine out here.
