Post your self made sprites in here with an option to write a small description.

Opinions welcome on work, keep it constructive, no needless flaming.

I assume it's okay for me to have made this thread? Here was my only sprite so far, since I'm fairly new to this spriting business.

It's a replacement for Geodude which implies over time it evolved to have arms and eyes.

we also had my archelon based ancestor of turtle pokemon
i also suggested a common ancestor to the pig pokemon
someone else suggested a common ancestor of zubat and aerodactyl
someone made that shaman looking mr mime

what else was there?

I brought up in the thread that there could be a cousin of Aerodactyl, the Aerobat, in caves taking the place of what normally would be Zubats.





Though not a lot of logic to go on I admit, I'm a fan of the idea and thought it would be worth posting here for thoughts.

i wasnt a fan of the aerobat, but like i said in the thread, we should all vote on it

if it passes, i wouldnt mind spriting it if no one else wants to

Here are some of the sprites so far, feel free to add.

Here are some of them we've come up with so far.

The Pidgeot is an example of the recolors we could do to some Pokemon to make them more exotic.
The Aerodactyl pre-evo is so that it could be seen and caught earlier in the adventure. Evolves into Aerodactyl 25-30ish?
Magikarp was supposed to be more powerful in the past, so Magikarp & Gyarados' roles are reversed.
An ancient Krabby.
An ancient Mr. Mime (Mr. Mage?)
An ancient Raticate.
Tentacool variation with 4 tentacles
Doduo pre-evo, based on Dodo. Duduno.
A volcanic Torterra. Perhaps an ancestor to both Torterra/Torkoal.

the archelon pokemon so far
thoughts?

he also needs a name

archepin comes to mind, but it kinda sucks

Archetypal

Just an idea?

archetypal....not bad...

Yeah you know, cause of Archetype being like the original model for something, thought Archetypal (or an alternative spelling) would work for the original version of the turtle pokemon.

Looks great so far, Archelon. I like the name Archetypal, but it is a real word.

Yeah, Archetypal is a word. Could just spell it differently.

Arkhatypal, Archeturtal, Archatipal.

Up to you.

I like Archelon as a name itself.

yea, i get the meaning

how can we change up the spelling so that its not a real word?

achetyple

arketypal

arketypul

I like Archturtal. Has a kind of triple meaning-- Turtle, Archelon, and Archetypal.

Dropping off my ancient paras-thing.


As for the name of the turtle, I don't have any good suggestions except if you can't come up with something to work with the Arche- thing, maybe look for some synonyms?

Tar pit Muk/Grimer?

archeturtal then

also, what was said about its evolution in the thread?

i proposed giving it a branched evolution, both more suited for life on land. one thats part grass and eventually becomes turtwig and one thats part fire and becomes torkoal

Or, we could make one grass and one fire Archturtal, and make them appear in different regions to suggest the start of evolution to their respective descendants.

A bit like the unown?

Keep the same name but one is fire, one is grass, one is water etc.

Hmm... I'm not sure if the larger mushrooms suggest that this is an ancient form of the creature. Perhaps a common ancestor between Paras and Nincada would work?

That makes pretty good sense.

I was thinking for the charmander/charmeleon/charizard line we could make them look kind of like godzilla, with the back spikes and whatnot.

Heres a speed sprite of godzilla charmander, yes/no?

what if in the past, the unown were all one being and that would be the main legendary
