What if abilities changed the appearance of a Pokemon?

Some hot dogs! I love shiny Houndoom so I had to draw one. Also Mega Houndoom just might be the best Mega evolution design there is.

Have we gotten a houndoom line review yet?

I love how GameFreak's response to Pokemon's Satanic Panic problem was to make a hellhound the next Gen. And not just a hellhound, but a really good hellhound! I like that they went a more subtle route with Houndour than the Cerberus option by basically taking a Doberman and adding hellish motifs to it—black with fire-orange accents and white bones all over its body. Also nice are the shackles, which are likely a nod to how Cerberus is sometimes said to be chained.

Houndoom is even better, and does everything an evo needs to by expanding greatly on the original. Now a full-grown Doberman instead of a puppy, Houndoom has gained a pair of ribcage horns on its head, moved the skull to its chest, added an extra layer of shackles, and added a classic pointed devil tail. These all build upon the base design and themes wonderfully, and both stages are very distinct.

My only (very minor) nitpicks with Houndoom are that the skull on its chest could've been more skull-shaped as it looks more like an alien head, and the head is a weird shape. I hear a lot of complaints that it has no ears, but it has no ears because it has horns and there was no room for both on the original teeny tiny sprite. However, the Diglett-shaped head isn't quite anatomically accurate, making it look a little strange once you separate the horns from it.

(Also, side note: judging by the sprite above the chest skull and ribs were supposed to be a collar, which is a really neat idea that I kind of wish they kept. No big deal either way though, it still looks good regardless.)

I hear a lot of people say they wish [X] mega was an evolution, and like 90% of the time I disagree with them. Megas are generally handled differently than actual evos—evos often make drastic changes to the body shape and progress the Pokemon's theme in a notable way, while megas typically stick close to the original design and just add Stuff(TM). There is some overlap, of course, but generally speaking a good mega won't necessarily work as an evo and vice versa.

All of that is to say that mega Houndoom is one of the only megas where it could (and should) have been an evo. Every theme is expanded upon, the body shape has advanced pretty drastically, and there are about as many changes between it and Houndoom as there are between Houndoom and Houndour. It doesn't technically matter one way or the other, but megas are a rarely-appearing gimmick whereas evos are permanent, and this is a great design that should be used more often.

Anyway, this design is pretty perfect. It has a more muscular body than Houndoom with greatly improved head anatomy and longer legs (especially evident when you see all three lined up next to each other). The bone elements go from the small skull on Houndoom's chest to a giant wrap-around skull with tusks, as well as bigger horns and more ribcage bones. The shackles on its legs have also been broken, which is a great detail, and it's added a pitchfork motif in both the tail shape and the face markings.

My only minor nitpicks with this design are that the red claws feel a little distracting; keeping them orange might've balanced the colors better. Also, the orange on the chest should've gone under the bottom of the skull, as it creates a bit of a tension point as-is. Otherwise, this is pretty perfect all around.

Overall, a great line. There's a clear theme, each stage progresses in a logical and obvious way, and the designs are well-balanced. 10/10 would go to Hell again

Tsubayuki regains her composure quickly after her initial shock, and looks back up at the giant before her to answer them.

"From what I know of it, yes. However based on what my mother has told me about it, how mega evolution affects you depends on what pokemon you are."

"For us lopunny, we undergo a change in personality that makes us far more aggressive. This is most prominently shown in our general behavior and how we fight." She explained.

Her gaze began to drift back down as she was now seemingly looking past the giant, at nothing.

Tsubayuki's tone was more somber as she reminisced before she realized she was starting to get off topic and returned her attention to Pikavee. "Do excuse me for rambling a bit." "In short, yes. I am indeed afraid of losing control of myself due to how mega evolution effects me."

"I do not wish to repeat the actions I made the last time."

- Hmm... perhaps you should ask about said actions.-

Alr, meet the Guild, the basic government of this new pokeworld

They oversee the basics really, agriculture, banks, waste management, that stuff

I'll draw more of them but for now I'll just drop off the ones I like the most

Delila, the whole defense budget goes directly to them because that's surely a good idea to hand all that power to a psycho from space, but they really are nice

Next is thrunn. They control the distribution of knowledge and money. Quiet giant who spends most of their time in their observatory

and last is Diane, shes usually not at the roundtable because shes at home take care of her son or working out.
