>>46054641Cinderace:
>By juggling a pebble with its feet, Cinderace can transform it into a burning soccer ball. By putting a spin on the ball, it can launch attacks that its opponents struggle to evade. The shots it fires can leave an opponent scorched. Cinderace is skilled at offense and defense. Cinderace can get pumped up with excitement should it get cheered on. However should it start showboating, it will be placed in a tough spot. Due to its strong core and great balance, Cinderace can unleash powerful kicks from any position. In battle, it uses artful footwork to feint and throw its opponents off.Compare to passimian, which if it were a starter, it'd be comfortably in rillaboom's category.
Inteleon:
>Inteleon has many hidden capabilities. It has a long, extendable yellow membrane on its back that allows it to glide in the air and darkly-colored nictitating membranes that allow it to analyze for an opponent's weak point. This help it precisely shoot water from its finger tips at Mach 3. It also has a sharp knife hidden in its tail. All of this is basic biology shit, like blastoise being able to shoot a tin can from a mile away or whatever.
>Inteleon is highly intelligent, carefully thinking out strategies before entering combat to ensure a swift and decisive victory. It is also known to be quite chivalrous, and is completely loyal to trainers it sees as worthy.This is close, and it puts inteleon on the borderline, but I don't think it's enough. Strategizing, loyalty, and being intelligent are things some clever animals like crows can do. It's different from showboating for a crowd as you kick flaming soccer balls into goals.
Blaziken's only humanlike quality is that it "practices a form of martial art," which feels like a natural enough evolution of animal fighting styles to get a pass.
Inteleon and blaziken were the reason I made the thing to begin with since I think they're cut from the same cloth, so I'm glad they're getting this much discussion.
