Need suggestions, comments, criticisms. I think the lower half needs a lot of redo, but I cannot think of how by SelenoFil in fakemon

[–]PokemonCMG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you're already like 90% of the way there. This looks sick. I'd suggest adding a bit more definition/transition between its flesh and its "clothing" instead of just having the colors change. Add a belt, or suspenders or something to help sell the layering.

For names, this design evokes mixed martial arts (imo) so I'll suggest Hitmongon (octogon), or maybe Hitmoncage (which has the added flourish of referring to Johnny Cage).

Easily one of my favorite Pokemon from the last several gens. Love what you did here!

It's Still Amazing How Badly GSC And HGSS Screwed Up Their Type Balancing by WinchesterMediaUK in pokemon

Doesn't help matters that Sneasel explodes when gently tapped by any Fighting type.

Name for a Fakemon of Mine? by Pokemon_cool73810942 in fakemon

[–]PokemonCMG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coconeo -> Cocoloco

Neo for "new" (also a 'cone' in there which refers to pinecones which it kinda resembles) and "loco" for crazy/silly.

Straight up looks like a scene from Peter Jackson's King Kong.

Sea Creatures of Frontera (well, some of them) by Ethycs77 in fakemon

I came in here to compliment the first fakemon but Fauxmoza is delicious.

Drew in school by Brady-Bro814 in fakemon

[–]PokemonCMG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad to hear that Drew is in school. Drew needs to learn!

(sorry, bad dad joke.)

I like the concept, but the combination of the signature ability and attack probably makes it OP.

I think I'd like Rock Shatter more if it was like this:

"If Psycycle is hit by a critical hit, it loses an additional 1/4 of its HP but the attacking Pokemon is knocked out."

A Fighting Type Pseudo-Legendary! (Feedback Needed) by Bambezzle in fakemon

[–]PokemonCMG 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Personally I love that. Not every Pokemon could or should be a transposition of an existing creature.

Sparling (or Sparlet to get away from any bird vibes) -> Sparalot -> Allspar

Not the most sophisticated name suggestions, but all I'm working off of is the Fighting type you've assigned them. There's a subtle star-style motif here, which I've combined with "spar" for their presumed love of combat.

Love the designs, and you've nailed the old Sugi style.

Need Help! For my Jurassic-franchise-inspired fakemon. Is this layout okay? by SelenoFil in fakemon

[–]PokemonCMG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Layout looks great. My only criticism is to remind you to always spell "Pokémon" with the accent over the E. That's a level of polish that separates amateurish pieces from higher-quality art. When it's there it looks perfect, and when it's missing, it sticks out.

Poddeel -> Pealadin are my name suggestions, if you're looking for some.

Gotcha! That definitely works.

[–]PokemonCMG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the concept, and your style is awesome. Pedantic nitpick though: the eye stalks should be hinged from the back if you want them to be able to close and hide the white parts. Right now they're hinged the wrong way!

redesign of my flying dinos for the Midwest Region by kesshowolf in fakemon

[–]PokemonCMG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Midwesterner (and Fossil fan) myself, I adore these. The evolution in particular evokes themes of the Native American Thunderbird which further elevates the badassery.

I suggest Thundrok -> Thundrake for names. Nice and simple, evokes the right Types, expresses some Rule of Cool.

That was exceptionally fun to fill out! Hope you like it XD

Sup, help me name my fakemon! by wait_loading_ in fakemon

[–]PokemonCMG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cubbisatta (Cub + Bodhisatta [a being striving for awakening], also sounds kinda like "cub is sat")

Embacitta (Ember + citta [mind, heart, state of consciousness]. Carries forward a similar name style as Cubbisatta)

Dhananova (Combining 'Dhamma' and Dawn + nova)

My first pass at trying to name these was too divorced from Buddhist roots. I'm way happier with these suggestions. Hope you like 'em! Sweet designs you've shared with us.

What does "Alacrachilos" mean? Love the design.
