FAQ:
"Is Lamoby a starter?": No. We voted, it's a route-mon if anything.
"Is Hokus a Pokemon?": No. We voted. It's to be scrapped.
"Foxhound / Rabbit rivalry?": Maybe. We voted, it was split.
"Is anything completely confirmed?" Not really. We're still in the early stages of the project. HOWEVER, starter polls are up (water starter survey is still wip)

Some notes regarding results diagram interpretation courtesy of Foxy:>The image containing all the suggestions is the big green box >The poll results are listed below it >The designs with the blue boxes around them got the most votes in their respective question >The red box above each category of base concepts displays how many votes it got on the last question "which base concept should we design the grass starter around?" >The land bird design there is crossed out as I'm pretty sure Raptor/Toba was going to use them for something so if the land bird wins the run off, we'll have to design something from scratch.

>>17000425 Because the surveys have a 100-voter cap. And 100 people have voted on Part 1, but some of those people failed to vote on Part 2. So now other people have to vote on Part 2. Which is kind of strange.

(1) >N (1) >my mom shit out 2 (1) >more grassy (1) >They're equally non-mouselike, but given the choice, 2 is cuter and has more potential. (2) >2 is too bland of a oshawott clone (1) >Leaf umbrellas are awesome (1) >First one is too over-designed, 2nd one looks a bit too generic but it's closer to the mark. (2) >Number 1 is good design but not for a starer (2) >looks unique and the design works well for a fairy or flying secondary typing. 2 looks too bland, although it has a lot of potential. (1) >idk if mice could really be made into starters? the only big rodents we really have are rakali and they're water rodents (1) >2 is too basic (1) >2 has no design and no concept (1) >Number 2 seems more "bro" like. (2) >I don't like both (1) >Kawaii as fuck. (1) >Hard to imagine a final stage thats based on a mouse (2) >1 is adorable but doesn't look like a starter. 2, however, is too Oshawott-like and I don't see the theme. (2) >1 looks cute and simple. I like it's bush behind with the leaf tail. 2 has bland colors and looks nothing like a starter, let alone a grass one. (1) Foxy !QqL8nX9URE

All comments made on Q2(The numbers in brackets are the option they voted for):
>1 looks more like a kappa than a platypus (2) >The image 1 looks really weird. It could be okay with evolutions in the direction of a golem, but I still think 2 looks better. (2) >not fond of either but 2 just doesn't do much beyond slapping a leaf on a real platypus (1) >No. 2's Final is pretty solid(but kind of reminds me of a Grass Swampert). The pre-evo for no. 2 could use some work, though. (2) >1 doesnt even make sense (2) >wynaught (2) >Was there ever a choice? (2) >Even though 2 looks like psyduck 1 is just horrible (2) >1 doesnt look like a platypus (2) >The color (2) >What the shit is the first one? Robo-platypus made of grass? I dig the first stage of option 2. With a bit of work it could be excellent. The other stage displayed needs a lot of work. (2) >Number 1 doesn't look like a pokemon: too robotic for a grass type. (2) >1 much to humanoid for a starter (2) >1 looks like a bear and in no way looks like a platypus. I like both of 2's, the starter and the evo, looks like a swift poison/grass high speed mon (2) >Itd be nice to have such an iconic animal as a starter but would need a LOT of work. And would need ot be water type because seriously? grass type platypus? (2) >1 looks like a robot, its eyes don't make sense, its mouth doesn't make sense, whats that on the chest? why so many things? 2nd is adorable (2) >1 is fugly (2) >1 is better but i'm all for water starter platypus, not grass (1) >both are bad though (2) >I'm pretty sure 1 is Banksia based. (2) >pls no (2) >Grass is weird for a Platypus (2) >While I don't really like either, 2 (which heavily reminds me of the psyduck line) seems pretty bland and lacks secondary elements typical in Pokemon (1) Foxy !QqL8nX9URE

All comments made on Q3(The numbers in brackets are the option they voted for):
>Leaves as the sail is the most interesting concept. May turn out a bit too much like Emolga otherwise. (1) >1 is the best, of course, but 3 and 4 are okay if you change the 3rd evolution: none of that two is decent enough. (1) >they all look like neopets, please redraw (4) >far and away the best looking one, if a little rough (1) >I really like No. 1, and would like to see some more from this artist for evo concepts. 4 and 5 just look really boring, with both final evo''s looking really weird. (5) >it doesnt even have evos and its better than these shitty furbait half abortions (1) >If it's going to be a glider, I say it should LOOK like a glider. I dislike things like 1 because I liked it back when Pokemon looked like animals, not inanimate objects... fuckin' leaf. Only suggestion is to make 4 look a smidge tougher. It looks like a secondary evo. Its secondary looks like a primary, too. (I'd prefer that; at least it has "wings") (4) >It's the only realistlic one who doesnt look like a neopet (1) >they all look pretty bad (2) >Option 1 is all that's even close to what a starter should be. Options 3 and 4 look like fur-fag shit. (1) >Best final evo concept. Number 1 also is good concept (3) >1 for a first stage, I really like the design, although the final stage of 3 looks good. (1) >I think Number 4 is good, but the middle evo is wrong. I think you should have first stage from pic -> third stage from pic -> new final evo (4) >Probably one of the better ideas, but they definitely need a lot of tweaking. But hey, there's no rush. (3) >But the prevo with the pink ear tufts is the cutest (4) Foxy !QqL8nX9URE

>It's cute, and kind of unique as a starter, goes mouse -> sugar glider -> flying fox from the looks which is genius. Mid evo could be redrawn to not look so similar to the 1st evo (4) >sugar glider is good idea but damn, all of them looks shit as hell (1) >3 and 4 are both pretty good, though I think 3's final evo is a bit out there. (4) >holy fuck they are all disgusting (1) >Sage has a Grass/Flying starter, we shouldn't (4) >I really like 1 and 4. Overall I prefer 4. I'd love to have a little grass/fairy sugar glider. The pink and light green work well together and the graceful ribbon like tails on the last stage are a nice touch. (4) Foxy !QqL8nX9URE
>>16999637 This is option D of the submitted designs. A (Tree) Kangaroo based grass starter. If you had to choose, which is going in the best direction in terms of design and concept?
All comments made on Q4(The numbers in brackets are the option they voted for):
>2 and 3 look like weird bears (4) >In my honest opinion, 5 looks really well. 1 is okay, but 5 is awesome. (5) >none (4) >I really like 5 a lot, but it looks better suited to be a route mon rather than a starter. (5) >A mix between 2 and 3 would be best. (3) >5 looks the best, and feels like it'd be the easiest to get a good final evo out of it. I can't say that with any of the others, with 4 looking to much like a real kangaroo at the end, and 3 & 4 looking...gross. Sorry, but all stages for 3 & 4 just look unappealing. (5) >WHY DOES THIS ARTIST KEEP DESIGNING GRASS TYPE STARTRERS THEYRE ALL SO BAD THE THIRD EVO LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THE FIRST TWO EVER (5) >would hug (4) >What the hell, 4 is the only one that looks like a kangaroo. (4) >It is colourful how a rain forest animal should be, 5 is shaymin clone (3) >Don't like any of them at all, but picked option 4 as it's the only one that even looks slightly like a Kangaroo. The rest are absolute trash, please don't waste time using them. (4) >Can honestly say I don't like any of these sorry (5) the colours on 2 and 3 look ugly, there is no standout features on them. 5 would work well for a starter. 4 looks too much like a real kangaroo, not a tree kangaroo and doesn't look strong at all, would work for a second stage. (5)
>This was hard. I don't like the yellow lucky charms vomit on 2 or 3. I like the yellow if it's not gooey shit, and just colouring only. I only like the third stage evo - the first two are not nice. Picture 1 has a good example of a nice first stage for this line. I think 5 is a nice concept for a non-starter (2) >I DID NOT SEE 4 BEFORE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FUCK EVERYTHING ELSE (4) Foxy !QqL8nX9URE
>>17006080 (cont.)
>Not much to say here, just like it the best. 5 is cute but not a starter (4) >only "5" is good, the rest looks like ... shit (5) >3 is the closest to being starter material. 5 looks like a route-mon, like Sunkern. (3) >but not as starter (5) >4 is the best one I've seen yet (4) >3 all the way. I'd love the idea of a pollen storing grass Kangaroo. The tribal mage theme is really good. Love everything about it. (3) Foxy !QqL8nX9URE
>>16999637 This is option E of the submitted designs. A Lizard based grass starter. If you had to choose, which is going in the best direction in terms of design and concept?
All comments made on Q5(The numbers in brackets are the option they voted for):
>5 is good too (3) >fairly good, i'd be happy even though it's been done (3) >these designs are better as normal pokes and not starters (5) >although 5 looks close to wonderful (4) >What the hell is 5? (3) >3, please, and NOW. It''s simply awesome. It has the originality and the style. I LOVE it. (3) >first 2 forms are great, wtf @ 3rd form tho, why are there insect wings? (5) >5, 5, 5 - definitely 5 if that's the best looking starter period - I don't care if there are two lizard starters that looks freakin' boss as fuck (5) >I fucking love No. 3! Just give it more of a Grass Pokemon feel to it, and I'd suport it 100% (3) >cute (4) >looks fun, i don't know. 3 is good too. (1) >They look like pokemon,plain and simple. (5) >Fuck yeah! Dinosaurs! (4) >Love the derpy look, hope it doesnt turn out to be itjustgetsbigger.jpg like others here (2) >Avoid 1, too similar to Snivy (3) >simply because we(Australia) dont have chameleons as a native animal. (1) >I really like the concept of a chameleon grass starter in general, and option 5 looks pretty cool. But for the love of god, at the very least the first stage needs to have half-shut eyes and it will look like an absolute bad-ass bro 10/10 would train. (5) >Number 1 looks too much like Snivy. Don't like the bug concept number 5 has going on (3) >The goanna with a megalania final would work well. The triceratops/chameleon would work well also. 5 has too much going on, I can't see the inspirations or what it is based off (1) >My favourite of the bunch, but worried it might be too similar to thorny devil fire starter. (3) >I don't really think lizards could work as the starter but it should definetly be a route mon. (5) Foxy !QqL8nX9URE
>>17006860 (cont.)
>5 makes a good grass/bug pokemon. 2 is cute, but derpy is more suited for a late two-stager.

(4) >change final evo (5) >Too close to Thorndle (4) >1 looks like a mischievous little runt but too much like an actual lizard. 5 is my pick.

Hey, maybe some evo concepts could fix it. I just don't really know what's up with No. 2 (1) >this is probably one of the best grass type starters (2) >That face (1) >2; mostly because its evo cycle is the most complete/detailed.

I'm just reposting this as an alternate to the grass starters. I did the other mouse starter that looks similar but I wasn't too sure with how people edited it with the sugar glider. Instead I'm trying to find a nice in-between with the mouse and kangaroo. Still trying to pick a tail, though I've had a couple people say the bottom right it the best so far.
I'm thinking with the final stage it'll be more tree kangaroo-like in stature so it'll look more stocky and maybe continue the leaf around the near theme to make a robe.
>>17009689 I'm hoping we keep that. Took a lot of time and effort to draw that. I was quite happy when people took enough interest to step in and help out on the final stage.

Just reiterating my point from last night; Lamoby must be in this game. What is the "trivia" behind the name anyways? Hopefully the original artist sees this, I wanted to give you props for making by far my favorite looking pokemon, fakemon or not.

yo. this project still need a concept artist? I've been in a drawing mood lately and would like to actually contribute to something interesting
Anonymous
>>17020324 Sure. We can always use more artists.
Someone last thread suggested the idea of a Rock type which followed the theme of a rocky, armour-plated animal (like Rhyhorn ==> Rhydon), but with a Cane Beetle or similar bug as the base concept. A concept sketch was already made by one guy, but I'd like to see your take on it too.
Another idea which has been posted a couple times, but for which concept art has never turned out well before, is the idea of a poltergeist-possessed piece of farm equipment, like a tractor or plough. Want to try your hand at that?
I think one of the other things we need is more idea-people. A lot of people left over the Christmas holidays, and haven't come back yet, resulting in very slow threads with few fresh ideas being thrown around Anonymous
>>17020605 sure. I'll try up a quick sketch of several ghostly lookin farm pieces and then a try at the beetle real quick. it'll be some rough sketches but I can always lin-art it up if it comes out nicely.
Anonymous
>>17020324 Thanks.
Another idea posted a few threads back was for a Pokemon based off of a Marsupial Mole. Since the mole has no eyes, but has a big, calloused shield-like plate on its face which helps it bore through the earth, one idea was to integrate the mole with a knight-theme, with a knight's shield for a face, and possibly some other secondary thematic elements integrated into it.
This pic shows two other peoples' take on it. So yeah, if you want to give an alternative interpretation with your own concept art after doing those other two, that'd be awesome.

>>17023005 It might be, but that depends on someone coming up with a design that's both not-a-tractor as well as not too overdesigned. If such a design does not emerge, it probably won't make it in.
Anonymous
>>17023070 that is the main issue here is it's not like rotom which has a ghost form and takes stuff over - which makes it acceptable to look so much like what the object is.
from a design perspective it's odd because if you don't make it look enough like a tractor it looses the pokemon look, while if you make it too pokemon-ish it looses the concept all together. That's why i tried looking at several references and tried to combine it with a rough shiledon-ish head. but then from everything behind that is like... wtf.
I could try doing the non hooded style, and do a cofagrigus / rotom ghost hands deal or something for some effects to give it a more ghostly look. but the concept alone is kinda goofy lol.

>>17023381 >>17024976 not gonna lie, these my original thoughts for the ghost tractor/plough/farm whatever, but my issue with it was that I assumed theses posessed farm pieces would be the modern ones still in use by the population, so I ended up not doing it, for some reason a cotton gen was the first one that came to mind lol.
anyway, I could still try one of those for a style, it does fit the decrepid, ghostly feel better, and might be easier to work with. taking a break right now though.

>>17024596 actually. another thought on this. what if it's just a combination of smaller farm tools held together by the ghostly aura thing? perhaps not even that if there's a good way to fit everything together.

>>17025095 I think the original idea behind the mon was that it would be a route-blocking thing, like Snorlax or Sudowoodo. It's easy to imagine a derelict tractor blocking a road, but not a pile of handheld sickles and spades.
Still, we could abandon the route-blocking aspect and think of it more as an ordinary inanimate-object-based Pokemon, like Voltorb or Cofagrigus.

Quoted By:
>>17025160 ahhhhhh. see that adds a whole new dimension actually. that's interesting. So the idea is that it should be a larger farm object then for sure. Unless of course people would like to change the original concept.
Well I could continue to iterate on the tractor thing I have going on. Another idea is to draw the poltergeist-pokemon itself somehow as an individual, but I'd hate to make a Rotom clone lol. Thing with rotom tho is it's specifically attuned to electric objects, maybe this can be the same but it fixates on gas/oil or some crap? just a random thought

>>17025902 >>17025961 I don't know, one of the drawing points originally was how we swore off of polls, since it was generally agreed (looking at gen /vp/) that the majority's decision wasn't necessarily the best one. We never figured out an alternative, and the amount of new and old people jumping in and out inevitably led to misinformation about both the popularity of ideas and whether or not they had been addressed or dropped. Some people took advantage of it and revived unpopular ideas, some of which gained traction since the platform grew smaller. Either way, these polls give us a clear idea in a pool of stagnating water. The poll questions still held bias, and your only options were what you were given. Also, bankly isn't a platypus wow
Anyway, a common mantra being thrown around even now I guess is the 'it's not set in stone', and that's a bullshit way of snowballing ideas so that you can disregard conflicting opinion. At the beginning, it's 'not set in stone', and when it's around long enough it's 'this is what the majority wanted/it's been popular for a while'.
In terms of direction, it's one thing to push south, and it's another to have 30 people pushing vaguely south while working harder to push in the direction they want it to be in.
I'm sorry I don't have much alternatives to offer, but the current process is very obviously not working out. It's easy to blame it on december, but the real question is what to do once the new year arrives. I wish you guys the best, and I guess I'll keep tabs posted in case you still want to talk.

>>17026419 SEQ's polls (imo) were beyond biased. Every question was worded differently. Some questions had two answers and some had 4. Taking from an anon in a previous thread:

Some of the questions included "great as is". others didn't. He was trying not to show his bias, but it was there.
>>17026475 Foxy's are better but they still need some work. I know he's been recently taking advice from one of the survey runners from gen/vp/ so that's a thing.
SEQguy !!q/bO+XgZdBC
>>17026475 oh hi. I heard someone mention my name.
I was responsible for that poll.
See, when I made that poll, it was only an incomplete draft. A lot of the questions were poorly or inconsistently phrased because I was getting bored and tired, and I just wanted to put together -something- to see whether people thought the poll had sufficient coverage. But then people started misinterpreting the poll as a finshed product. I always intended to use people's input from the original draft version to improve the poll, include more options, make the questions better, etc. But because of limitations of the polling site I was working with (it disallowed polls of a certain size of questions or respondents), as well as a loss of energy and motivation, coupled with some people telling me to forget about working on polls and go back to working on maps, resulted in that thing never getting worked on again.
By the time I was starting to think about going back to that poll and fixing it up, Foxy had picked up the slack on polling. And he's doing it ten times better than I ever could.
>>17026503 The poll was flawed, yes. And because I was rushing to put it together (since I was starting to lose energy and just wanted some basic feedback on content and such, as I explain above), a hell of a lot of my bias leaked into the polls. My bad.
SEQguy !!q/bO+XgZdBC
Quoted By:
>>17026526 Though, on the plus side - since those people told me to fuck off with the whole polling thing and suggested I do map work instead, I started working on routes.

Currently, Foxy is trying to sort through the various niches and dex-roles with polls, starting with the starters. Once the starters are polled and we know which designs to focus on refining, he's gonna poll the early-route rodents.
Meanwhile, people are coming up with ideas for other Pokemons, since those ideas' niches might be the next to be polled.

>>17038394 You mean [pic related]? Personally, I think it's all right. The gold/silver could be more naturally implemented (especially down the back). But that's just my shit opinion.
>>17038553 I really like it. I'm curious to see how it would look with less dithering though. Reminds me o the gen 3 style. Anonymous
>>17038686 Yeah, but if you use multiple colours on the sound bars, it overcomplicates the design and risks going over the limit for number of colours on a sprite. The all-green approach simplifies this.
Also, since a lot of people compared Arachnoise to Gen 3, here it is next to a Gen 3 Charizard. Note that Arachnoise is actually 65 pixels tall, meaning that it's taller than the standard 64x64 limit used for a lot of Gen 3 sprites.

I had an idea for a reef pokemon that was made up of different types of coral and other organisms found in reefs. They would all act together as one pokemon. The evolved form would have a humanoid shape. The problem is that the design and concept I'm thinking is alot like Barbaracle. DO you think this is a good idea, and what would make it different enough from Barbaracle?

>>17039807 The sprite size limit changes from generation to generation, but I'm pretty sure we're rolling with Gen 4 size limits for this one. Or was it Gen 5 limits?
Either way, I remember seeing a size guide like this posted in previous threads. Note that the "third evolution" limit can also refer to second-stage evos in two-mon lines, as well as to single -stage Pokemon if they're particularly big ones. The "maximum limit" size should probably be reserved for Legendaries.

And feel free to take creative liberties with the spriting if it helps you fit the design in better.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dromornis_stirtoni And although we already had an Ice fossil type, the Leaellynasaura seems interesting! That one artist's rendition looks really Ice-Type, was thinking maybe working with that? Plus it gets extra points in interest because it used to be in what is now Antarctica before the split. Still thinking of making it seem more interesting, though. Maybe something with the tail.

>>17051084 >>17051152 >>17051200 Actually, we could start thinking about the different gym leaders while these polls are getting sorted out.
We've got the following Gym types, in accordance with the FAQ:
1) Grass
2) Ground
3) Steel (or Fairy)
4) Poison
5) Dark
6) Ghost
7) Fairy (or Steel)
8) Psychic
So, what sorts of occupations could be matched up to these types? This is what I think:
1) Grass
A botanist could work well, though another option might be a veteran soldier who fought on jungle battlefields.
2) Ground
A miner would be the obvious choice here, given the proximity to Coober Pedy and Olympic Dam. Still, there may be a better option.
3) Steel
I like the civil engineer idea posted earlier, though a fitter-and-turner or welder could also work.
4) Poison
Pest exterminator, perhaps?
5) Dark
Chopper fucking Read.
6) Ghost
A museum curator might work here.
7) Fairy
My initial temptation is to suggest a man who looks like he's been taken straight from a Mardi Gras parade, though maybe just an ordinary ballet dancer (either male or female) could work
8) Psychic
I'm thinking a scientist might be the best option here.
