D4rk3r: I like your reasoning here, but this design looks more like a Fighting-type to me than anything else. If we're going for a Rock/Poison type, it may be worth seeing if there are ways to indicate that. Perhaps the blue parts could be worked on to look like crystals, with facets and angular edges? I'd have to wait on the Mega form to comment on anything else, but at least consider that issue.
a deer: I always thought a porcupine would be Poison/Normal, but giving it rock armor - and a big nasty horn in the case of the Mega - is pretty creative. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if this design would fit either of the abilities we have so far... Maybe regrowing the quills could tie into Regenerator, but I have no idea how to justify Magic Guard without a little design tweaking. Mystical gems on the rock portions or a temple statue aspect like in one of your earlier drafts for the Mega would be a good start.
Slapperfish:
HISS HISS THIS IS SNEK A literal diamondback! AHUEHUEHUE XD *ahem* Anyway... I really like what you're going for, combining the snake with the hydra
and Medusa at the same time. I don't really have much to say about it other than the fact that it's really creative, though some supplementary material may be useful for me to determine where the extra heads of the base form come from (probably three necks growing from the front of the body). Apart from that, great job so far!
Yiam: I like the simplicity of a toxic waste golem - nothing really subtle or complex, just rocks and goop. What I
really like, though, is how it translated to a pretty detailed design. My main concern though is perhaps that it may be a little
too detailed - not that it doesn't look like a Pokemon, but the sprite and 3D models may be tougher to make than usual. Especially in the case of the mega (though I gotta say, the rib-rocks are pretty darn clever). I'd probably tone down the complexity of both forms to about the same as Gigalith, with simpler horns and ribs and probably fewer facets for most of the rock armor. (The art of the base form also seems to have the right hand be cut off at the bottom... A full-body shot for the final submission would be nice.)
Sgt.Moose: Creative as this design is (nice job translating the mole venom into disease!), I can't help but worry that you may be getting a bit too close to Drilbur for comfort, especially the pointed snout. I think a good way of distinguishing your mole from Drilbur could be to change the nose from the small heart-shape into a rosette of tentacles like a star-nosed mole, while still keeping the drippy nostrils. Who knows, the mega could even have stinging nose feelers like an anemone to further justify the Poison-type. Other than that, though, this is a creative design!
Bummer: Ah yes, the rock bull I commented on earlier. This is another big fave of mine, and I'd definitely put it in my personal top five of the entries so far, but I agree with some other posters that the color scheme of the mega could use a little tweaking. My suggestion here would be to make a greater contrast between the rocks and the radioactive bits... Perhaps the latter could be darker than the body color, and maybe more gray-ish, while the latter maybe a little brighter yellowish-green. I understand your reasoning for designing the Mega the way you did, though, so other than the color thing I have nothing else to say. Best of luck to you and your load of bull! XD
Neatski: The rock geode tentacle thing reminds me of that octopus which hides in coconut shells, which is a pretty interesting concept. I do agree that the first-draft mega form would serve better as a base, or perhaps incorporate elements of the mega into the base form if you still want to use that. The ink cannon seems like it could be a good addition to the base form, and the mega can expand upon that by adding a few more cannons and tentacles, too.
Yilx: This is another big hit for me, but color-wise, it seems too much like a pure Poison-type. If we're going for a Rock/Poison-type, I'm not sure if the dark colors being black would be a good idea necessarily. I guess it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to change the black areas to a dark brown hue to highlight the terracotta nature of this thing a little better.
Quanyails: I would never have considered a virus, but holy heck, that polyhedral shell makes
so much sense as a crystalline structure! Also kudos for using a tripod-ish design instead of the usual bacteriophage, because it not only breaks convention but also gives you more freedom to justify the abilities. It also looks really simple but ruthlessly effective, as a virus
should be.
mcFlareon: Yay, more reptiles! :D One thing your lizard reminds me of is the "
slurpasaur" trend in old cheap monster movies, where you put tape fake spikes and fins and other deely-bobbers onto an animal and bill it as a monster. The most common instance of this is putting stuff on a lizard and calling it a dinosaur, which is similar to what you're doing with the mega here. I don't know if this resemblance was intentional, but I find it pretty charming myself. Two changes I'd suggest would be to add a few more orange bits to both forms (probably extend the orange areas on the side spikes into stripes reaching the back for the base form, like with the face, and adding orange splotches to the back and underside of the mega), and giving the tail a little extra oomph e.g. giving the thagomizer to the base form and arming the mega's tail with a huge spiked club instead. Don't know what to do with the Magic Guard ability, but that I guess I'll leave you to decide.
Felis Licht: Welcome to the CAP Board! And great entry so far, both in terms of folklore and the design! I'd have to wait for the mega to judge anything, but it's pretty neat that you picked a pretty obscure legend for your entry - I didn't know a "killing stone" even existed until I read your description!
Drayen: Another dinosaur, huh? Aside from the head apparently merging with the leg like some others have noted, I also feel like the mega looks a bit
too similar to the base form. I understand that
Bummer's entry has a similar reasoning, but there are enough subtle changes to make it distinct. I'd suggest probably giving your mega a few extra spikes and horns, and maybe patterning the shield like a mask to justify the Magic Guard ability.
