  1. CAP 18 CAP 18 - Name Submissions

    Pyroteuthis From pyro and teuthis. Arcanoloa Kanaloa came up when I googled "octopus god". Represents wild forces, is a god of the underworld and a teacher of magic. Arcane basically means magic. Fine by me.
  2. CAP 14 CAP 3 - Sprite Submissions

    Both snail shells and lava lamps come in a variety of shapes in the real world, but I'm surprised no one has done a gender sprite where the shape of the lamp was the gender difference. Nothing wrong with changing patterns or sizes, but I thought for sure I'd see a cylindrical or squiggly lamp on...
  3. CAP 14 CAP 3 - Part 7 - Second Flavor Ability Discussion

    Color Change Unreleased or Event Color Change. Flavor Reason: Because lava lamps can change color. All of the ones I've owned changed colors. Non-flavor reason: Plenty of people have made arguments for unreleased abilities, so I'm not going to repeat them. We've already had a chance to play...
  4. CAP 14 CAP 3 - Part 7 - Flavor Ability Discussion

    Illuminate is the ability that makes the most flavor sense. The only other abilities that make any sense flavor-wise (based solely the physical art, and not concepts of the poke's personality or coordination) are Weak Armor, Flame Body, and Color Change, but those all have competitive uses in...
  5. CAP 14 CAP 3 - Art Submissions

    DougJustDoug: Re: Colors, for associating with radiation, have you attempted using blacks/dark-greys to represent silhouetted bones? It may end up not being very cute, but the advantage would be two-fold. 1) It may evoke thoughts of X-Ray images in the viewer. 2) It may help differentiate...
  6. CAP 14 CAP 3 - Art Submissions

    If anything, DJD, the design is almost too literal, though I'm glad to see designs getting away from snakes and lizards. As a firefighter I can tell you that thick, oily, smothering black smoke is definitely toxic and just as dangerous as the flame itself. But this seems intentionally...
  7. CAP 13 CAP 2 - Art Submissions

    Woah woah waoh! Hold on a sec! I like the idea of one (long) leg, but that is probably just because I like Turnip-Head from Howl's Moving Castle. However, if you're going to have two legs, they can NEVER EVER bend, even in relation to each other. He must wobble along the battlefield like a...
  8. CaPmon Sprite Revamping

    If ToastTyrant13's nohface was wispier looking, in both shading and shape like Doran Dragon's, it'd be pretty solid. Alternately, if Doran Dragon's nohface took a cuteness cue from TT's, eliminating the spines altogether, keeping some cute "ears" and shortened the mouth from Kitsunoh's vvv to a...
  9. Problems/complaints

    Skulloton victory taunt vs Fidgit: "Hm...Maybe I ought to build myself and extra set of arms or four..." "and" should be "an".
  10. CAP 10 Krilowatt Playtesting

    This CAP had a big difference from the rest right of the CAPs, and it showed up right in the beginning. My CAP history may be off, so correct me if I'm wrong. The first three CAPs had a very general concept of "Lets build it and see what happens." CAP4's concept was to be a utility(?) pokemon...
  11. Pokemon Black & White, aka Gen 5. Coming to Japan in Fall 2010.

    Starter silhouettes were revealed. Serebii seems to be handling the traffic the best.http://serebii.net/index2.shtml
  12. CAP 10 Krilowatt Playtesting

    Hmm.. Is MirrorWatt the best StandardWatt counter?
  13. Pokemon Black & White, aka Gen 5. Coming to Japan in Fall 2010.

    Hmm. If Rapidash evolved into a Fire/Steel type that looked like a motorcycle, with only 50 more BST (25 of it in speed), but still had a limited Fire/Steel movepool, and maybe a few wheel/spin or smoke-esque flavor moves, would it be OU?
