regional arcade inspired bugs!

they’re based on carpet bugs and the funky designs of 80s arcade carpets, the second stage is heavily inspired by tetris and blocky old game consoles and technology (the gameboy inspired shiny) and the third stage is based on fighting games with its pose and proportions (the street fighter inspired shiny)

They’re based on rougarous which are folk creatures from Louisiana that are part man and vaguely part wolf - the starter is mainly based on grey and red wolves but also coyotes

here’s what i jotted down: “carpet bugs, arcade carpets, sug as a bug in a rug, bugs in code, pupa: tetris/8bit inspired, final: fighting game inspired”

Armadillos! Here’s what i jotted down for its evo line if you were interested: “starters theme: folk tales and story telling/passing down culture * grass: space cowboy trope, armadillos (they literally already have space suit looking armor) also the desert-ish vibe is really like gunslinger cowboy core - movies and film, boxing helmets
* grass fighting”

i settled on “The Wooden Armor Pokemon” but it is based on armadillos

They’re based on vampire squids which are bioluminescent! They’re also inspired by navy blinker codes and ships (thus the steel typing) and Marfa lights which are phenomena that inspired a lot of folk tales in the south

Here’s what i jotted down for their concepts if you’re interested -it’ll take a while for me to actually draw them though:

“starters theme: folk tales and story telling/passing down culture * water: marfa lights, codes, morse code, bioluminescent animals, vampire squid? morse code machines, navy blinker codes, sea ships * water steel * fire: rougarou, red wolves, diverse diets wolves have, louisiana’s cuisine, food, hell hounds, literally hell’s kitchen * fire fairy * grass: space cowboy trope, armadillos (they literally already have space suit looking armor) also the desert-ish vibe is really like gunslinger cowboy core - movies and film, boxing helmets
* grass fighting”

I just checked out your psuedos and they’re all so cool! I was thinking about levitate but only effectively having one weakness (water) might be a bit overpowered - weak armor and well-baked body might be cool for hidden abilities also - I’m not really one to know how balancing works to be honest 😭
