I love Kappas
I'd have to say the originality of some of these Pokemon are down right neat, but then there are ones where they look too similar to their conterparts that you piced together. Still I enjoyed seeing the ones that looked very original in design and concept.
I gotta face facts here, this was done amazingly well for this kind of thing. better than i usualy have seen.
If the finished products of soe of these Pokemon looked a little less like the Pokemon used to create them, and i know that is difficult to say since these are fakemon, theni could give this a perfect score. as is though, This proves that Nintendo can get their act together and make some REAl original designs, if a fan has done an almost better job with already created Pokemon.
Good Job!
Not sure what the "Vision" section is all about so I'll just skip that and be on my merry way.
Originality: Fakemon and Pokedexes have been done before (duh), so that doesn't make this the most original thing in the universe. What I really focused on was the concepts of some of these Fakemon, and some were very creative. However, others were sort of mediocre, and one would expect a bit more from Pokemon. Not saying you should change them or go out of your way to find far-fetched concepts, though, but try doing things that aren't obvious combinations or things that Pokemon has done before in the future. Some of the names also bug me because of how obvious they are coupled with how "forced" the name sounds. However, you managed to pull off a lot of the Fakemon very nicely- the ones based off of hot air balloons, kappas, plague doctors, wilting flowers, and drama masks caught my eye.
Technique: Eh, I'm a sucker for pixel art, so I think that this is magnificent just for that, but I'll just note here that some of the shading seemed a bit off. You got the shade-y part of the shading right, but the bright parts were somewhat overdone in Trapine and Glacone. I know it was only two examples, but those really stuck out to me. I understand that the bright coloration was intentional, but it looks sort of like an overdose of reflective sunlight maxima more than naturally bright colors. Also, Orphone's head looks a bit... er, blocky? If that's intentional, that's fine, but I might want to round that off a bit if possible. But anyway, everything else was masterful and it makes me wonder why you aren't working for an official game company yet.
Impact: Put quite simply, this is one of the best sprited Fakedexes (Is that a word?) I've seen. Wonderful job! This is definitely going to stick with me. Can't wait to see how it looks like when it's done!
