In previous threads anons gave their suggestions, then I would make a sprite based off of the winners. The dex is now half done! We are making great progress!
This started as just an art project to pass time, but we'll use Pokemon Crystal to put these guys in Crystal. While the Pokemon will change to be the ones shown in the dex sheet, don't expect anything on the level of Pokemon Prism or something.

>what's going on now Dex anon is working hard on the early game stuff, so we need to fill in any remaining early route mon info, we also need to decide on the pokemon we'll give to early trainers! Feel free to give them mons that aren't finalised yet, just use best judgement based on where they are in the dex if you think they'll fit. Also, what game text should be changed? Either from necessity or for flavor. Again keep the text from earlier parts of the game in mind like the Slowpoke Well portion of the game, things that are VERY Pokémon-specific and would clash with what we’re doing. If you can sprite, it would be really helpful if you felt like giving some of the overworld and pokemon icons a go (meowntain and star cats are done!)

the dex so far! today i will be working on back sprites, so i declare new mon season open. have at it anons!

the party icons and the specifications dex anon gave last thread, if you want to try spriting them then the priority is to swap out any that are straight up official pokemon. the more ambiguous ones are probably fine to leave but maybe we'll eventually do a whole new set?

example of the trainer planning an anon posted last thread. this is good stuff! feel free to use mons that aren't sprited yet, just use best judgement based on the rough description of the mon and where it is in the dex. if anything ends up not fitting we can always swap it out later.

right, gonna get going on back sprites again since dex anon quickly caught up with that i made before! today for me is the spinos, and then taking a chunk out of the assorted early route shitmon. thank you all for taking part and rising to the challenge of planning out the stats and practical implementation of all these mons!

>>43524918 Oh, I've got you. The description is just the original 'roll' from the first thread, being
>"How about a cute grub that evolves into a kaiju wearing beetle armor?" I went back into an earlier thread to grab the sketch you were talking about, which apparently came with its own description.
>The idea basically being a trainer finds a cute unassuming grub, expects it to evolve like most bug-types, but instead of turning into a cocoon it turns into a massive, obese and dead-eyed grub. Came with lore ideas involving fratricidal tendencies to force an evolution and stave off extinction. I think the fratricide thing was something about it being so fat because it eats other members of its species, which makes it evolve when it wouldn't otherwise, but because it's unnatural it just kind of turns into a fat grub?

Made a better google doc that's actually updated with information about more of the mons so far, including info that wasn't included on the previous version:

Also something I don't think has been addressed yet is the concept of beta mons finally seeing the light of day in this project. I believe that was what the rest of the Dex space was going to be for according to OP, but I can't quite recall. Anyway, here's an image of some of the beta mons that should definitely make it in if we go that route.

Alright, I can see that I have upset some people by calling it the "updated" google doc. Won't overstep that one again, although I do think that some stats/typing need readjustment at least in the future. I'll rename that doc just to "suggestions" doc so people know it's not DexAnon's. I'm glad he's making this project a reality for OP as a game, even if I find some of the decisions disagreeable. Ex. Maulossus I thought should be Fighting/Normal so it can be dual-type like the other single-stage dogs, and then the stat changes for the sake of in-game balance since I felt like some beginning-game mons were too strong.

>>43529851 Ideally the Upwhale line would be Water/Psychic the whole way but sadly abilities don't exist in Gen 2. So without Levitate it's hard to imagine how Stellocean is hovering, but I'll just imagine it's floating off the ground but ineffectively enough to still get hit by Ground-type attacks like Magnemite.
>>43529859 Funny enough, DexAnon actually buffed the original stat-spread of the Furnit line I brought up on some older threads by a giving the mud birds a couple more points of stats. In fact he even buffed lines like the Wormeek and Tido lines after I thought what I did was already making them strong. Still I know Rock/Ice fails defensively though, so hopefully it has good stats in the final version.
Also I said earlier in this thread I was done trying to come up with movepools for these mons since I have no idea what the final move list will look like for this project anymore. Remember my suggestions doc isn't official and what's linked in the first post is the official doc.

I tried to make a version of the electric cave monster but I will admit this one was challenging. Since we already have a worm line I gave it a more serpent look.

>>43532364 Looking at the wasp again I think we could use it, I was really struggling to come up with a design for it, kept trying out all sorts of horrific doctor kind of tropes without finding one that looked good. But parasitic wasps are quite beautiful, and going from a parasite riddled grub to a surprise twist beautiful if deadly bug has appeal! I think it needs adjusting to make it look more like a parasitic wasp. Right now it looks like a generic wasp and parasitic wasps don't really look like that. They have very long narrow waists and super long ovipositors (not stings), the ovipositor particularly is the vital visual signature. I'd be down for this wasp if it was adjusted away from a regular yellow jacket shape a bit.

Since the attacko has all those limbs (as shown in the backsprite), their grafts are maybe edible
If it’s the squid, what on earth is a squid doing in a well? But it’s more logical to have their tentacles or something be the food.

I think we should tackle some of the more ambiguous prompts while OP keeps crushing the sprites. As far as I can tell, the water shitmon doesn’t really have a direction. I went with a blobfish -> mermaid. It’s kind of keeping that Magikarp/Feebas tradition and could tie into the actual blobmon depending.

Working out a concept for a normal/ghost rendition of the dress waifu, based off of the brown lady and the corpse bride folktale. It’s hands are supposed to be large fans and its dress is supposed to somewhat resemble a ribcage and sternum.

>moneybag slander Preposterous.
People who dislike Pilfoard (the moneybag) are discouraged from playing the game
Pilfoard was the first front/backsprite combo and therefore the first mon implemented. He is in the DNA of this project, even if (no offense pilfoard sprite maker) his sprite is obviously a league below OPs. However Pilfoard is a special case as it was my test sprite for various functions. and future submissions like that wont go through.
Edge cases like really high effort sprites (whales/cats) will be accepted but other design proposals are probably going to be cannibalized by op. There probably won’t be another 1:1 design import like the snow leopard again, amd future designs will be more synthesis (like the bat) than recreation (like the leopard). Just putting that out there

You also obsessively cling to this purely imaginary idea that op and dexanon are somehow on your side here despite all evidence to the contrary. You are so seemingly flustered by a bipedal snow leopard (whose alleged sex appeal seems pretty delusional to me also) that you are warping reality around it. Again, keep seething, doesn’t change the fact that a bipedal snow leopard designed be an anon you don’t like is going to be one of the top tier mons in this dex and there is nothing you can do about it

I'm tired of the snow leopard shitfest. What should we brainstorm next for op to design? Basing myself on the google docs:>Goose line "Intimidating Canada Goose", looks like a delinquent with a toothpick, maybe give it a helmet as a topgun reference?>Eucaliptus Koala Line Stage 1 - Eucalyptus leaves for ears, Stage 2 - it has a "Log suit" since its fighting type the log suit looks like an armor?>Squid Kaiju Line Since squid kaiju was suggested to replace slowpoke, start with a cute squid with tentacles that finish in a creamy color? Then as it evolves becomes a kraken-like creature (revealing a hunter becomes the hunted situation for the fishermen).

Woah hello anons, I dunno how this happened but I'm here to propose a ceasefire Both sides have valid points, it is true that I had started this as an art project and expected to make everything myself and that stuff with different makers is noticeably stylistically different, but it's also true that I am aight with just rolling with what people decided they want to do, and if that's putting in random sprites and designs that's ok if it's decent quality. But all I want is for everyone to be happy, so the solution I propose is this: two game versions like a proper pokemon game. One version to satisfy the collaboratives who want their own designs in the game (which I appreciate), and then when everything is finished, another version for the purists who aren't keen on random mons and want me to make them all (which I also appreciate). That way people can keep designing stuff, but also everyone will get something made by me, and people can choose which version they'd rather play with. Is that a solution both sides can be happy with?

>>43541953 wouldn't it be easier to have the one true version made by the thread and make a open github to let people remove/add feature to their will ? That way if they don't like some mons they can remove them and add whatever features they see fit

>>43541953 That works for me, i was happy to play the regular version but im looking forward to eventually seeing your takes on some of the other ones. Weighing up the version differences is part of the true pokemon experience.

>>43541953 I mean it could be the right solution but would that less-than-double the time you put in this?

>>43541953 As the person who sketched the snow leopards (which I even admitted I wasn’t in love with) and someone who really likes the sky whales, I wouldn’t even be upset if you just tweaked them anyways. I personally never expected op to 1:1 any designs at all, and while I appreciate it, I haven’t been Stan-ing for them to stay as is. A totally different anon designed prevos to the cats based on my design and op just kinda put them in. I definitely don’t need my design in a special version of the game, I only did it in the first place because I wanted to suggest a different direction from pic related, which I didn’t like at all. I never asked for all of this controversy lol, just a series of coincidences

>>43541953 Fine by me.
I'd rather have one true version made by you and you only and make an open github to let people remove/add their OCs to their will.
But yeah, I just want a game with your designs and nobody's else.

>>43542025 >For the geese I was thinking of the old story of geese growing from barnacles The what
>A myth about the origins of the Barnacle goose is that the Barnacle Geese emerge fully formed from the common Barnacle (Cirripedia).[1] The migration patterns of may birds including the Barnacle Geese were not fully known until the late 19th or early 20th centuries. [2] Early medieval accounts of migration often drew on popular myths to explain why some birds seemed to disappear and then reappear during the year. Holy shit I didn't knew about it

!xtgH9PP/UU
>>43542048 Haha right. People came up with some wild theories. In a weird way I see where they came from, the long necked barnacles do look kinda like goose necks and heads, and apparently they thought the internal creature looked like a foetal goose, with the feathery legs looking like goose feet? Makes an odd sort of sense when you've never seen a goose egg but have seen the eggs of every other bird, and where you live in a world where vegetable lambs are a totally plausible creature too.

>>43542067 Yeah I might do one based on that for one of the remaining slots, they're a fairly noteworthy creature in the plot of the game I'm making too. Crazy stuff. I got to flick through an ancient bestiary once, amazing drawings of all sorts of wild stuff that people just wholly accepted as fact, described scientifically right alongside foxes and snakes.

Yo if you guys like the barnacle myth you might think this is cool
https://www.uliwestphal.de/elephas-anthropogenus/index.html It's like a taxonomic tree of elephant depictions through the ages, and when an elegant is copied from another drawing it ends up a little more distorted.there's some great stuff on there, so of the one off stem ones are super weird. One of my favourites is the one that just ends up a deer with a super long tongue, as each successive artist thinks the drawing before them far too implausible and badly drawn and normalises the animal a little more into something more familiar and plausible.

>>43542207 Same! My band’s first album artwork is based on the “here there be monsters” sea monsters on the fringes of old maps that signified uncharted waters. We combined that with an old-timey star chart and the evolution of whales

Full disclosure: my job is starting to pick back up, and I have some important deadlines in the next two weeks. I may end up slowing down, but will be back to the thread's "normal" by 5/24. At the very least, the replacement of old mons with op's sprites isn't too bad and I can pretty much put em in as they come, but I'll be leaning on the thread for secondary asset generation more.

>>43541953 I appreciate you putting in the effort if you really can take the workload. The fruitbat line was a good scenario where things were pitched but you rendered it to work. Let's be honest, you can't have 10/10 designs for 100+ prompts without more time to develop them all. I think some anons have never worked in collaborative design and don't get the fun in making designs together, I just dont understand the butthurt and sperging out over purity and principle and blah blah blah. It really is your discretion to decide what goes in ultimately. Haters will keep hating regardless. They can stay salty.
