Sorry for the neglect.

Have some work doodles as compensation:

Some pikachus. I missed how in the original Pokémon red sprite it looked like it had a more flexible tail at the base and not just a flat cardboard cutout of a lightning bolt.

Some Palworld doodles.

A little foot from memory. I watched that movie everyday. This guy was probably the first thing I ever tried drawing.

The trashy Pokémon starters from this meme:

I liked the grass possum so I drew it some more

I’ll post more work doodles soon.

You know what? We got megas back so I can’t even be mad at this.

Pokemon Day Wish!

Tomorrow is Pokemon day and there will also be a Pokemon direct. I know I'm not alone when I say Game Freak needs to give us more LEGENDS.

Imagine a Pokémon Legends Celebi!

Could be a sequel to Legends Arceus, taking place in "mainland Japan" (Jotho and Kanto) during the Meiji era (industrial revolution). The main character from legends Arceus would still be looking for a way to go back to their time period (if you had save data on your switch from Arceus, you could use the same character) and they heard somewhere that the mythical Pokemon Celebi has the power to travel though time, so they go looking for it.

It would be fun visiting the already familiar places of Jotho and Kanto during that time period, but unlike in Hisui, in "mainland Japan" everyone was already used to having pokemon as partners.

the streets and roads would be filled with travelers and merchants with their partners, there would be more conventional battles, the towns would be more developed. Maybe no gyms yet but there could be a town elder that you had to defeat to show your worth, or an expert of some sort. The main character would have to go from town to town looking for clues to find Celebi and solving problems along the way. The game could be semi open like the original or totally open with level scaling and Kanto could either be accessible right from the start or would be the post game.

Imagine meeting the 3 legendary beasts that lost their lives in the burnt tower before they died!

The starters could be Squirtle, Torchic and Turtwig just so they could use the scrapped beta designs for the last evolutions.

...Ok so maybe Torterra looks like ass but you know, they'd fix it.

The game could use the exact same graphics and engine and I wouldn't even complain! Just add PVP and breeding, let us have abilities again, basically what was missing from Arceus. Keep the crafting, give us more stuff to do. Give us an old black and white camera to take pictures of pokemon in the wild for sidequests and pokedex research. Let us camp with our mons like in sw/sh using a rudimentary tent and cooking pot for meals. Let us RIDE our own pokemon! (Like in the let’s go games) and not some "rental" ride pals BS.

But as I stated on my first Pokemon rant, the Switch can do better and Game Freak MUST do better... *tosses coin into wishing well*

I drew these stickers (with the intention of actually printing them in sticker form) WAY back in the DA era of my life. I thought I had posted these but apparently never did. You can have them now.

[cubic-watermelon]

Y’all! This game is too real!!!

[cubic-watermelon]

I found more of these.

I used to find cool pokedex descriptions and draw them. have some more:

You've been extra nice! Have 2 Bonus pics!

Pokedex descriptions… what can I say?

Found this old Chespin from my DA days that I never posted here.

sometimes I need to look at old art when I feel like drawing but don't want to commit. I really like the Chespin line, I might be the only one. I had this phase where i'd draw nothing but these dudes.

Here's an art dump from way back when:

I really like this guy. And now I have Sir Chester (my shiny boy) back on my team in Scarlet. I missed him.

You've been nice, have a bonus:

Ppl that know me, know I love Pokémon!

Knowing that, did I get Palworld?

Listen, Ark with Pokémon is something I didn’t know I wanted until I got it!

For everyone that say the designs are rip offs, maybe like 2 or 3 designs are a bit too similar but I just don’t see the reason for all this controversy - maybe I’m missing something.

I say, the more creature collectors out there, the better!

Here, have a work doodle of NOT eevee:

[cubic-watermelon]

I wanted to draw my son Motheon so bad.

Had to fight the urge to lay down and die for it! It was worth it! My first official drawing of 2024!

I love my little baby! (Changed his design a little)

Can’t believe I forgot to post this work doodle. I really like it. Every time I answered the phone I drew a little bit more. I talk on the phone with clients a LOT.

I was having some deep thoughts that day. The whale represents big companies, the smoke is the pollution big companies produce. The fish are, of course, the little guys that feed big companies.

But TBH I feel a bit like a hypocrite myself because I like using Amazon.

PS: try not to feed big companies. *rolls away*

I was bored at work today. So I drew a friend.

[cubic-watermelon]

finished my first redesign of the bublbaby line. (I don't have any good ideas for the evos tho...)

it's the synapsid looking bulbasaur from that one sketch from a while ago! I know I'm not supposed to mess with perfection. but I like it.

It's based of the Lystrosaurus, a very successful Synapsid.

[cubic-watermelon]

I remembered I redesign the Chikorita line as creepy beets. I like them a lot still.

back in the old days ppl used to carve beets instead of pumpkins for the hollows' eve.

Recycled halloween pic 4.

[cubic-watermelon]

Recycled halloween pic 3.

I like this one a lot. I don't remember if I ever posted it here. I did inktober back in 2015 and this was one of the drawings.

and everyone should watch OTGW every October.
