I really love Daddy Long Hands, especially when it's underground. It makes it look like some sort of Stonehenge-y monument. The only thing that bugs me a little are the orange hands. How about making it sand-coloured? And I really like its simplicity. I mean, Pokemon now is slowly becoming into Digimon with bulky and monstrous pokes (eg . Rhyperior, Bastiodon) and less with the cute elements (eg, Snorlax, Ursaring). I think that's what makes Pokemon a little more flattering with the audience than Digimon.
But I do love the idea of a symbiotic relationship Pokemon (reminds me of Slowbro, except its not really symbiotic, right?). And the great detail and background description makes it all the more endearing, despite its intimidating looks.
So well, here's my entry, if I can still submit. It may not be as great as the others but, meh, it won't hurt to try, yes? ^^;
(clicky!)
I based this on the wanyuudo, a burning wheel ghost of Japanese mythology. Except that instead of emitting flames, I have it emit smoke and fog (kinda like Koffing). And its face resembles Baltoy a little bit, because I also based its appearance from a Japanese clay doll. I didn't want it to look like a tormented face like the wanyuudo, and changed it into a more sorrowful and drowsy face. (Hope it worked out. ^^; )
It is born from poisoned and polluted soil fusing with old and wrecked oxcart wheels of an old era that was buried under the earth. It constantly appears to be wearing a sorrowful face because it remembers its 'past life' of being abandoned after being worn down, as well as contaminated soil, which it has a mysterious connection with. It is constantly in motion, travelling the world, sending a message to travelers on how polluted the earth (not Earth, but earth as in soil and dirt) has become due to the increasing number of buildings and factories being built.
Its three red gems that grows on its forehead and tiny hands are a real mystery, as professors and archaeologists have theorized that it consumes metals and gems, like Sableye, but it has never been documented to eat anything, despite having a mouth. However, what is known is that the gems are able to emit some sort of light and have a hypnotising effect whenever it waves its arms. It has never really been documented that it uses its gems to lure people, but rather to repel them, thus making this Pokemon to be rather timid.
The smoke and fog it emits can be deadly, but it has been fermented to become some sort of a sleeping gas or pepper spray. This Pokemon has also used its smoke to make people faint, thus buying time for it to flee. The smoke is also highly pressurized, that when it is emitted, it helps propel this Pokemon further and faster, similar to a steam engine. Despite being made of substances similar to soil, it is exceptionally sturdy. When it spins fast enough (together with the smoke boost), it can easily drill through a mountain.
