Here’s the problem with the goddamn X-Men: their arch-enemy is a guy who can control metal with his brain. “I hate all of you,” Tony says, once Wolverine manages to slice Tony’s dented helmet open like a sardine can.

Tony has a problem with some of their allies’ enemies (chp. 1)

semaphore fans: is this acceptable to read as "frog" or would it be better with the "letters mode" flag in front? 🐸🐸🐸

I fetched some fake pokemon creatures a while ago, but they were all hand drawn and colored, and I'm not really a great colorist on physical stuff.

So another go at Semaphray and Skuallyrojer, but as proper sprites at 2 (two) angles and with shinies.

To include more details that weren't disclosed before, they get new abilities with:

• Trade Winds, which doubles the user's speed if they gain a new item after not having one, like an inverse Unburden

• Ransack, which steals any item from any Pokemon that gets knocked out

Another poll???

Oh yeah, you know it.

Again, this question was revealed to me in a dream, and so I pass it onto you to answer.

THIS is the semaphore flag system, it is used to communicate over long distances, most usually at sea:

And THIS is the international code of signals, again, it is primordially used to communicate between ships at sea, the main difference being that these flags are hoisted somewhere in the ship, forming a sentence, and they're aren't waved around like the other one:

I've got so many damned bird designs

Semaphray and Skuallyrojer are two birds based on birds, the Long-Tailed Skua and Parasitic Jaeger respectively, as well as sea faring flags. First guy's a Normal/Flying with sailor decor, a tail evoking a bunch of flags on a boat's stern, and some plumage tufts meant to resemble rigging. Its two wings are also colored like Japanese semaphore flags, AKA that one Mario Party minigame where captain Shyguy dooms you to death at sea if you choose the wrong flag. Second is a sailor turning into a Dark/Flying pirate (can you believe there are no overt pirate Pokemon?), with its birdy little features turning into a captain's coat and ruffled ascot. Its white and red wings turn into black and red, meant to be like the naval flags of quarter / no quarter.
