>>32560837if you want constructive criticism, he's too lanky for a first or second stage starter. If this is final stage, I could see it though. Also nothing really makes him stand out, and that's his flaw. When you look at pokemon (especially starters), they TEND not to be "X animal with weird color", like take a look at other water starters. Squirtle line = squirrel thing going on also cannons. Croconaw has that caveman thing. Swampert has the armor and fins. Empoleon has the royalty thing. Dewott/Samurott has the samurai thing. Greninja is a ninja. And Primarina has the siren thing for it. Now this design looks mostly like a blue cartoon iguana. It's nothing that stands out to me. Because of that it now LOOKS like a fakemon or a mon from a less popular series like Neopets or something.
For starters, I might suggest some slight changes in this pic as potential design ideas. Not shitting on your idea, just wanted to help you along in some way.
