I don't have any color in mind for the fur, honestly. All I know is that it should be a dark color, to help bring out the gold and eyes. Its belly might be a lighter color, for contrast, but not too light. Claws would probably be white or grey, it'd be too much gold if they were golden.

For me, having an evolution line like that would be kind of like having access to, say, a Deino right at the start of the game. You can't find Pigeot anywhere in the wild, but because you catch a pidgey near the start, nobody considers Pigeot rare at all.

I just had a thought - wouldn't it be cool to have a mini-oasis in the middle of one of the desert routes? Some palm trees and (unfishable) water. And the only pokemon available is a Psychic or Fairy trickster pokemon, because the oasis is actually a mirage created by that pokemon?

Leave the name for now.
You guys need to expand your influence from basing the entire thing on Australia. Who actually gives a shit about Australia outside of the country? BW and XY are hardly influenced by NY and France, and Gen VP isn't influenced too much by South America. And at least South America represents a bit of variation from the norm for Anglos.
I like the idea behind this project and it reminds me a lot of Gen VP in the early days but to me this is starting out too narrowly focused to get far. Instead of thinking ahead to games and such you need to focus on putting as much thought into what you have now as possible. Scrutinise your mon concepts. I think at the moment you have too many different ideas and 'ideas guys' to really get much done. You might start drawing in the practical types though, which i think has already begun really.
But yeah I'd say ditch the flag and carry on.
As far as design critique goes, to me you're turning animals into pokemon rather than making pokemon inspired by animals.
SEQguy !!q/bO+XgZdBC
>>16668711 >>16668711 >basing the entire thing on Australia. But that's pretty much what the point of this game project has been from the word go. PokeAus is not Gen/vp/. We didn't set out to say, "let's make a game, and let's just use X real-life region as a loose basis". It was more like, "Hey guys, what if Australia was pokeymans?" Or at least, that's how I think it went down. It's been almost a month since this thing started.

I mean, cutter rabbits are inspired by the European rabbit pests that came to Australia and Bubbalo is based off a water buffalo, an animal kind that is found in Austrlia but originally came from elsewhere. But as far as I know, that's the only sort of foreign mons I can think of.

>>16668903 I could go a few ways.
One, I could map up Melbourne and Hobart, and link them into the mega-map.
Two, I could start linking together Victory Road/ Kosciusko, Sydney, Maryborough and Brisbane and create a secondary, eastern mega-map.
Three, I could fix up Routes 5, 7 and 10 on the current mega-map.
Which would you rather see me do first?

As for other ideas... I'd love to see animals in different environments to real life. Like how Hippowdon lived in sand instead of water. Could we get a sand shark?

Just got done drawing and coloring the first stage of my Bottlebrush mouse idea. I wanted to go with a very plain color because the first form is influenced by the seeds and the brown branch that the bottle brush grows off of. The next forms would become a bit more vibrant and such, of course.
