Stepping Over SmashCAP

Remember this?

Some pokemon, quite a few pokemon, feel left off, unfinished, and just plain lack fullfillment of their potential. Every Pokemon game features evolutions of previous generations, or pre-evolutions. Now, generally, in past projects, I liked to keep things limited, but here, I'd like to push our creative borders, while still retaining withing the rules of Pokemon. I don't want to evolve Pokemon with 3 chains or evolve legendaries. Other than that, anything goes. We can create moves and abilities for the new evolved forms, and create our "dream" evolution.

Guidelines

1. General discussion as to where the pokemon can go, either on an aesthetic level or a play style level. Both are important, and we should get a general feel for where the pokemon can go. We may disagree, but no decisions have to be made in this stage.

2. Art submissions and name. Here we try and create a general look for the pokemon. Its not entirely a competition. One who is lacking in artistic skills can draw a rough sketch and ask for a more artistic person to detail it for them. There will be a poll, yes, but its still not a competition, as we have sometimes treated the SMASHCAP threads.

3. Stats and ability. Now that we have a general direction and an aesthic direction, we can create a the stats. We are doing this AFTER the art for a simple reason, SMASHCAP is for primarily competitive reasons. This is half and half. Aesthetics are just as important as competitive play here.

4. Movepool. Here, we have the option to create new moves if we feel need be, and to finish off the final bits of the pokemon while the last bit of work is being finished up on the final step.

None of this is set in stone. With past examples many people submitted artwork while others theorymoned new moves and changes to the base stats, etc. Most notable is the artwork and all that jazz that is the center of the creativity. :3 Spriting is also a completely optional step but then again.

Lastly, but most importantly, Rexlax is amazing and you know it.

So, this is similar to Evolution: A Step beyond CAP but with a more abstract style of creating pokemon? Alright.

I don't have artwork for these, but I was thinking, especially after Gen V's relatively disappointing starter finals, what would happen if ALL the starters got branches:

[collapse=Gen V Spoilers, only rough ideas]
Branch Starter Evolutions:
Bulbasaur > Ivysaur > Venusaur [Grass/Poison]
Bulbasaur > Ivysaur-AltForm [larger back legs, semi-bipedal] > bipedal monster with Venus Fly Trap on back [Grass/Poison]
Charmander > Charmeleon (Red) > Charizard [Fire/Flying]
Charmander > Charmeleon (Yellow-Orange) > Yellow Hadrosaur [Fire/Electric]
Squirtle > Wartortle > Blastoise [Water]
Squirtle > Wartortle (Slightly darker colors for the ears and tail) > Lionturtle with Tsunami for tail and waves for ears [Water/Psychic, based on what Wartortle looked like it was heading to]
Chikorita > Bayleef > Meganium [Grass]
Chikorita > Bayleef-alt, similar with a mossy mane and leaves on it's back > Stegosaur with leaf plates, a coconut-tail, and a moss around it's neck and the top of t's head [Grass/Ground]
Cyndaquil > Quilava > Typhlosion [Fire]
Cyndaquil > Quilava (darker coloration) > Fire Wolverine with long claws[Fire/Steel]
Totodile > Croconaw > Feraligatr [Water]
Totodile > Croconaw-Alt [more velociprator esque] > Tyrannosaur [Water/Dark]
Treeko > Grovyle > Sceptile [Grass]
Treeko > Grovyle (more drab colors) > Komodo with Grass Hair [Grass/Ground, based on the long leaf crest Grovyle got]
Torchic > Combusken > Blaziken [Fire/Fighting]
Torchic > Combusken-alt with wings instead of claws > A Phoenix [Fire/Flying]
Mudkip > Marshtomp > Swampert [Water/Ground]
Mudkip > Marshtomp (stays dark blue) > Bigger Marshtomp with large-ish claws, more spines, and powerful arms [Water/Fighting]
Turtwig > Grotle > Torterra [Grass/Ground]
Turtwig > Grotle (shell is still brown) > A turtle with a bush for a back [Grass]
Chimchar > Monferno > Infernape [Fire/Fighting]
Chimchar > A firey Baboon with flaming nostrils > Japanese Mykak [Fire/Ice]
Piplup > Prinplup > Empoleon [Water/Steel]
Piplup > Prinplup (with more white and black) > An emperor Penguin with a "natural" ice crown [Water/Ice]
Smugleaf > Grinleaf > Smirkobra [Grass/Electric, needed a dual typing, plus it looks like it has mini lightning rods on it's head already]
Smugleaf > Grinleaf (but with slightly browner coloring) > Slydon (Following Grinleaf's design, this becomes a long tailed, bipedal dinosaur with a theropod-esque design, but with the rest of the Smugleaf line's build) [Grass/Rock]
Baycon > Luchaboar > Boarbeque [Fire/Fighting]
Baycon > Pignite, a flaming boar with a ball tail> Warhog, flaming boar with a firey mane, razor-blade tusks, and a bomb for a tail [Fire/Dark]
Wotter > Lutrain > Narwalrus [Water/Rock, it needed this typing . . . badly]
Wotter > Lutrain with white fur > Anhydro (A legit Samurai Otter, like this, this, this, this, this, or this (technically not a samurai, but whatever) basically, anything other than what we actually got. >_>) [Water/Fighting]
[/collapse]

Essentially. Also, I made this so Spire could post his artwork. -.-

 

[Spire]

Whoa. I did not see this thread. Alright UberMario, I think I want to just draw all of your ideas with slight revisions here and there if I see fit.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I'll deal with the fun statistic changes once the drawings are up, haha.
