Probably not. But, that's okay.

I know i'm addressing crickitots on this one, but, oh well. You may or may not have noticed the recent abundance on PH (placeholder, fyi) pokemon. It's not likely that they'll be coming terribly soon, but, they're there none the less. I haven't done anything for a while, so, i thought that i could prepare myself this summer (which starts in 2 weeks, finally...) by giving myself an idea of what some future numberings and types could look like in the dex. This is so i'm not hemming and hawing over what kind of pokemon should go where. I still have a bunch of ideas that i don't know where the heck to place, but, they'll make it somewhere.

Yes, i am now experiencing technical difficulties. My scanner is fairly old, and it has had a history of IDS (INSTANT DEATH SYNDROME). I've been trying to resurrect it after my bug pokemon were uploaded, but, i guess the coolness of them has overloaded the scanner into severe hemorrhaging and brain damage-- which is a shame, because i'm particularly proud of my bird pokemon. I'm not very good at drawing birds, and i still think Amidee and Agilidee turned out good, so that's saying a lot. I'll try to get them up asap.

I also have listed the normal pokemon; scurrel and scuriduo. I've got a larger project in mind and these critters may or may not migrate out of the region.  It seems really far off, but, i'll let you know about my big idea when i get to 75 pokemon in this region. If you're lucky, it will be when i release 50 pokemon. But, that may be when i'm going to release some forums.  But that may come sooner. Oh, i'm so indecisive!

So, i decided there weren't enough epic bugs in the pokemon world. I think that i've come up with a great compromise though.

Thus far, the greatest number of starter bug pokemon has been 6. I'm going to bring you 7. Does that seem like overkill? It is, and it isn't.

I will be introducing to you, little Reincater. This crawly little fellow does double time on the creepy (that is, if you think bug pokemon are creepy in the first place). In order to evolve, Reincater searches out skulls in order to create it's perfect cocoon. How sweet, eh? Once Reincater finds it's skull (it prefers cleaner and older skulls over fresh ones...) it wiggles it's way inside and spins silk around the skull. The skull provides wonderful protection and a very high defense in it's evolutionary stage, Crysnium. After some incubation time, the skull and the spirit from which the skull came from, fuse with our previous Reincater to hatch a new, fully evolved pokemon. What is this pokemon's name? Well, there are 5 possibilities that can emerge from Crysnium; a Bug/Ghost spider pokemon called Mandaran, a Bug/Dark mantis pokemon called Zygomant, a Bug/Psychic grasshopper pokemon called Sphenorth, a Bug/Light beetle pokemon called Occoleo, and last, but not least, a Bug/Dragon dragonfly pokemon called Tempodon. Gotta collect them all. But, there's a catch.

The way to achieve the hatching of a particular pokemon is determined by the type of skull to which Reincater fuses with. Some of these skulls may be more common than others, and some may only be obtainable further on in the journey. This is what i've done to instill some population control. You can probably imagine which ones might be rarer. -coughtempodoncough-

Anywho. These bug sketches are done and they will be up within a day or so hopefully. It's my march break, and i hope to keep on sketching some more. Still debating about my bird pokemon. We'll see!

I think i secretly hate him. Or, at least the design for him. And thus, i created an impasse for myself, as i don't like to reward myself with starting something new until i complete a challenge i've previously created. So, this calls for a redesign for dear old Thornasaur. Thus, i will move on to digital art for Kuble. Actually, i'm working on it as we speak. Pretty sweet, huh? I've also been sketching up a storm; some for Loud, and some for another project that i don't own to which i had made previous commitments to. What have i sketched? Well, i'll just let you in on one of them... Our elite dragons! You know... like, the three evolution beasts that usually come towards the end of the dex? Gotta come up with some better bug pokemon though. The trick is making them unique in some way...
