Since we're having a huge debacle with the water starter, thought I'd make the thread here.
Here's where we stand now:
We're considering a bullfrog that's water/poison in it's final form, but we're concerned it may be too close to the Tympole line.
Also up for debate, a Platapus line, which Cheez Puf will elaborate more on.
...Why'd I just use so many big words?

As far as the platypus idea goes, the Water/Dark type combo appears to be the frontrunner, ahead of Water/Poison and Water/Electric.
Design-wise, blue would be a predominant color. Anatomy-wise, I'm stumped, because the platypus is already a rather odd-looking creature. A simple, clean approach free of added things would probably work. The platypus IMO is so odd-looking that it would fit right in the pokemon world as is.

Yeah, I'm gonna say scrap the bullfrog idea (sad to see it go since it was a really old idea of mine) but the Platypus sounds great. (Oh well, we can always use Sprokeet)
Hmm...names...maybe...
Eclipus (Eclipse + Platypus) for one of them

Who says we have to scrap it completely? Maybe it can be used as just a regular line.
Names? I'm stumped.

Hmm..I like Eclipus for one of them, maybe the second stage.

the 'pus' part makes me think octopus.
Plateclypse?

Hmm, 11 letters. Stupid 10 character limit.
Or just Eclipyus

Hmm...lol, we'll let Genghoul decide it. I like both

 Maybe this little guy can be the jumping-off point for the design? |

Oh, I really like it, nice sprite! Good to see you've still got some good skills!

This is actually a pretty old sprite with some minor modifications, but it's nice to see you like it.

Yeah, Idk if it'll be good enough for the official sprite, but the designs perfect. It makes a platypus, a weird animal, look very much like a pokemon.

I think it would be better with a different tail that resembles an actual platypus tail.

Lol I suppose. I just don't like critiquing other people's sprites, since I suck at spriting. I feel I don't have the authority to criticize those whose work is much better than mine.

I'm not referring to the sprite per se, but to the design in general.

Post by dtrain24 on Aug 7, 2011 1:34:47 GMT -5
Well yeah, the design is great. As you said, you should make a minor edit to the tail but I like it a lot otherwise.

Idea: second and third evos have black, moon crescent-shaped tails.

That idea is freaking awesome.

The final stage doesn't seem that intimidating...

I'll work on it

Pretty good, but I agree with Cheez Puf as well.

Names...
Aquapus
Tidalorn (Tide plus "orin", part of the Italian word for Platypus)
Orincean (Other part of Italian of platypus plus ocean)

Post by Genghoul on Aug 15, 2011 20:10:39 GMT -5
I like the last two, but Aquapus seems a bit generic IMO
