I'm for either Cadablog's newest "Knightmon," or Vader's horse-thing.
I think this topic needs more chains, though.
Ladies and gentlemen, Smogonites of all ages, coming to a theater near you...
I present: THE SQUIRRELINATOR!

This roadkill is back for revenge!
It started off as a joke drawing, a side bit from my first concept. But it turned out to be more interesting. Go figure.
So basically what we've got here is a Terminator Squirrel, complete with Acorn Bombs and, much to the recent fixation of the CAP community, a drill arm. Not to mention, those wheels let him go up to...uh...a high speed (provided it's under the speed limit)!
It's great for a scout, as one of the first animals that comes to mind at the word "scout" is a squirrel. Plus laser eyesight, satilite hearing, government funding, blah, blah, blah...
This can be treated as the joke art it is....but right now, it's unique.
Any suggestions for Squirrelinator 2.0?
EDIT: ALso, I'm aware it could be more ghost-y. Suggestions there would be appriciated too.

Here's a clean version of Poke in a box. I quite like this colour scheme based on popular colours in jester outfits. I also wanted to keep the complexity of hands and other extremities down to make this easier to sprite.
I figure that how this is set up this design could have a good range of speeds from explosive to slow. I'll have to draw out some movement sketches to give you an idea of how this would fight and generally get around.
This got lost last post and I don't think I got much feedback so it would be appreciated this time. ;p
Edit: I think the hands are the weak point at the moment so i'll mess with those later on. Taking suggestions for anything.

WoW Caladbolg, you definitely got my vote no matter what else is entered in the thread.![]()
New version of Knightmon. More fragile, faster-look, no legs, etc.
EVGETA WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT HIS ITEM
IT'S HOLDING A CHOICE SCAAARF
very original and cool in other words!
I actually like the eye set-up, as they remind me of binoculars/telescopes, which a good scouter would have. But that's just me.I also love Atyroki's one. The V.2 Colour scheme is better. It deinately looks like a ghost/steel and its skinny gangly look makes it seem like a "scout."
With the goggles though. To me they make him look more like a psychic and looks a little "Specs"y. More like a special attacker. Maybe change the eyes to a more "Steel" look, though its up to you, it looks awesome.
I'm getting that you think I made that, but I didn't. It's Vader's. I seriously still think Vader should try modifying it into a centaur (man-horse) headless horseman.Though I do like the post by Black_Dranzer because it is different. It is a VERY cool looking poke, it instantly stood out for me. The horse thing adds its 'scout'ness and it definately looks like a ghost/steel.
I think the stems/hair/pointy-things (lol) on the back make it seem a bit too solid. I think it'd look better either stream-lined or sort of blown-back ethereal look.![]()
I think it's perfect! But anyone else can feel free criticize it. In fact, anyone can tell me it's ugly.
I think it's sweet how one trip to photoshop will all of a sudden move everyone's attention. I thank you all very much for your support. I added Eyes, a mouth (that is stationary, since it's a mask) and expressions to the false faces. also, a last minute smudge 'o the ankles.

More criticism please! Should I include a triangular nose? The design is sort of straying from a fox... so... yeah...
I think that's what makes the concept work tbh.... plus things with more than 1 face just weird me out. ^_^It has Steel plates over it's ball joints, each with FALSE eye-marks, to influence the idea that it's tricky and malevolent.
Also, I really, truly, from the bottom of my heart detest the idea of pokemon actually wielding swords or spears that have the semblance of being man-made, when the pokemon games never make a reference to those weapons; it just seems anachronistic.
