Considered scrapping this line since Primarina is a thing, but since Popplio didn't go in the direction I expected, I drew it together anyway. Actually not a starter but it did manage to become similar to some of them (like Empoleon and Samurott), but I hope I managed to make it stand out.
Actually thought about making it Fairy typed in the beginning, but now I chose a more offensive typing. It has more Sp Atk than regular Attack since there are so few things that can utilize Aura Sphere and Focus Blast on the STAB side, and I feel the moves work well with water mons thematically. Could work as a Water/Steel typing too, but I have one of those already.
As you can see, I haven't given the names much thought yet, so feel free to come with suggestions.
>>31456210I can definitely see sheep being a good firemon base, although the fire at the end of it might as well be removed since it just seems so nonsensical to have it there besides really emphasizing how it's fire type. Also, some people will compare it to Kidling, so be prepared for that.
>>31454452Others have already said what I wanted to, it's essentially a bipedal dragon where you've added typical fire type traits (flame marks on both hands and legs for instance) to justify its typing, so it just comes off as something that you drew based on its typing alone. As in, no particular concept behind it, so it becomes a forgettable design. Also find it odd how its signature move is a punch when it has really long claws, but you do you.
>>31451912Been ages since you last posted this exact image, so at least flesh it out some more rather than just posting the same image expecting different replies. Come on man.
