They are loners, keeping to themselves in dark forests. Ability: Moxie Extra Notes: Version Exclusive. Counterpart is Telszap.
Well, I'll critique this like it would be if it were in an actual game ^^ Your idea of a new type, the war type, doesn't really seem like something that'd fit in the Pokémon world mostly because it isn't a traditional element, you know? Although, I can see the reasoning behind it's weaknesses. War involves fighting, and war can cause mental illnesses that damage the psyche. So that part is pretty cool. Although, I'm not sure why it's supereffective against dragon, normal, and fairy, and why it doesn't affect ghost. If anything, I'd say it should hit ghost with neutral damage since ghost types are kinda broken (immunity to trapping moves + abilities, ability to run away from any battle, etc) With your Pokémon, your first one, Urchione, I'm not sure if the intention was to be a sort of parallel to Pyukumuku, but that's certainly what I'm reminded of. All your Pokémon have really interesting designs, and this is probably me being super nitpicky, but Wolthunder's tail reminds me a bit too much of Pikachu's. If anything, maybe make it more similar to a wolf's tail? I understand the thunderbolt design, but like I said it looks really similar to Pikachu's. Since you mention version exclusives, do you have any ideas for what the names of the games would be? All in all, what you've shown so far is pretty good, could use some fine tuning, but you're off to a good start!
deep breath: ehh, ok. you completedly overcomplicated my reasoning behind fighting and psychic, but i'm not going to say what the original reasoning was because yours is way better. Dragon is because, well, war-riors would slay dragons. Surprised you didn't get normal. What happens to normal people in a war? And fairy...ehh, i dunno, fairy is good and war often triumphs over the good if there isn't enough good? eghhh idk. and swords aint gonna hit those floaty things. actually, urchione was made before pyukumuku, i do believe. and for wolthunder, eghhhh, i cant be bothereddddd hot and cold. there's even legendaries. fire eagle and ice narwhal. and some weird plant thing. and an interdimensional squid. and-- thank you.
Oh, sorry! I didn't realize I was really making things more complicated than it actually was. I guess I'm a bit too harsh ^^;;; Sorry about that.
No, not in a bad way. your reasoning for fighting and psychic was way better then mine XD. i just went for fighting would fight against the war and some people could consider psychic kinda magic with would also be used against the war?? idek
Despite being in my signature, I feel like this thread is being pretty ignored because its on the 3rd page of the art corner. I'll be trying to update this more. ...so, yeah. this is just a casual 'bump, really. edit: oh hey 500th post huh edit again: the lake only lets 10 images per post. so this is ruined. aghh.
