>>28142803>>28142803Probably the Warquila line. I started monitoring the project early and that was the first family I was around for the designing of. I'm a biologist and a birder so I had a lot of input on the concept, design, and various facets.
In the end, I came up with the names, species, and Pokédex text for all three of them. Aquilor was actually Aquilior, but someone misspelled it on a compilation poster and that remained ever since.
I love that it ended up decent for an early game bird with respectable attack and speed, Drill Run, and Moxie. I did argue against using red with gray and darker gray for fear of emulating Staraptor too much, but it did turn out really cool. And I'll finally admit that the star Kamina glasses I was unsure about ended up looking great.
