Elemental dragons for the trio XD
Yes. Pokemon is in desperate need of a Fire/Dragon. Wierd how they didn't choose one as the first Dragon. Maybe a pre-evo of Miltank/Taurous? it could evolve into Taurous if male and Miltank if Female.
Sorry, but Farfetch'd is going to commit suicide if he doesn't get an evolution. Banette rocks in OU. L 100 Farfetch'd gets eaten alive in Little Cup.
Heh, like I said once, it needs to have a split evolution. One way, it becomes a disco bird (leeks are like glowsticks), and the other evo is a samurai. :P

Yeah, it can have no gender, and it can evolve into Tauros if you level it up holding steriods and into Maltank with Birth control pills
Lol. Now your just making fun of me aren't you :`[
I just lol'd upon reading this.
That be soo freaking cool if that happen but then we be pushing it xD
I came up with a different animation for these two sprites:
The "script" for the first animation was intended to be like this, "Begin shaking slowly, building up faster and faster, and then bust out and attack". It was a nice idea. But, after seeing it posted, it was just too slow overall. Even speeding up the individual frames didn't really help. Here's the first animation (with two mistakes corrected) for reference to what I'm talking about:
So I decided the scrap the whole "slow build-up" concept. The new version has the resting pokemon shake a little bit and then move into action. It spirals more than in the first one. I also smoothed out the transition back into resting position after the spirals are complete. Here's the revised version:
I think the second one is faster and more action-packed, which makes more sense for this pokemon. Let me know if you think this is an improvement.

I just wanted to say that, I had some ideas for said Fire/Dragon type, and I'd like to put that off until I could finish up some research and do a little work on it. >.>
And Sunday, the idea I had for it, it didn't get EQ.
I have the artwork for the first pre-evo done, I'd just need to scan it, and do the drawings for the mid evo and final evo. The final evo taking precedence.

The "end" is the long paused frame with the wings up, and the initial "D" shows up in the lower right-hand corner. There is a slight shift frame after that to make the gif loop transition back to "resting position" a little smoother. I didn't have that frame in the first animation. As I looked at the loop, I thought it should not have such a jarring "reset".
I've done animated gifs before, but never involving pokemon or game sprites. This pokemon sprite animation stuff is new to me.
For future reference, exactly how did we go about making this Pokemon, Poll-wise? Obviously skip out the signature move part. Include the different parts of certain polls.
Something along the lines of:
Type 1
Type 2
Role
Image
Moveset
---------- << Pretty much where we are
Name
Sprite
Dex Entry
The End
Type 1
Type 2

My opinion on it.
Uh...
1) Typing - top 3 from here go to next poll, split into 2 polls because 17 > 10
2) Typing Pt. - Combos of top 3 individual types, or monotype of the top 1.
3) Role - Chooses the role of the new Pokemon
4) BST - gives a general range of the strength of the pokemon
5) Stats - People submit stats and vote on them, 2 parts because of an almost tie
6) Ability - 2 parts to help decide
7) Art - 3 parts to narrow it down to the one a majority wants
8) Movepool - mostly decided it part 7 discussion, finalized the moves not wanted and the final moveset
9) Original Move - now defunct
10) Name - current
That's how we did it this time. For next time, I would recommend:
1) Type 1
2) Type 2 (optional)
3) Role
4) Base Stats - Make it all one poll, but in 3 parts
5) Movepool - One of the most important steps, really got neglected this time
6) Ability
7) Looks - Ability, Typing and moves determine image, not the other way around (1 of our major mistakes, we started on the art before knowing its ability and the majority of its moves). Sprites would come after this, as like a part 2 or something.
8) Signature Move (optional) - Based off the design
9) Name
10) Evolution Line (optional)
11) Dex Entry
Faux tier) The End

It better be finished in a day, because that's when the new poll starts.
I say Hyra takes the next Create-a-Pokemon. This whole thing is seriously frazzling (yeah, I said it) my brain. I'll coordinate with people, but I don't like responsibility, and I can't keep track of things anymore. From what I understand, this is what we still have to do:
Sprite
Evolution Line
Dex Entry
I'll wrap up the movepool and egg groups. This whole thing will be ready to go on Tuesday. I'm serious about getting help on the next one though.
Earth Power ftw!
Make sure you let us all read exactly what you're going to send in to Nintendo. I think Tuesday is just a little premature for sending this all in.
Also if you never nead help feel free to PM me for anything. I'm happy to help.
Hey...at least you had a role that actually did something. Most of us execpt a certain few (Doug, Sunday, Hyra, Deck-Knight, etc) had either nothing to give or not enough to give when it came to making this guy.
Did we already suggested height and weight on this creature? Somewhere around 5' 7" and weighting around 115 pounds?
