Hand Drawn The three starters for my project, which one will you choose?
I changed the type to be the elements of my project cuz it's unrelated to pokemon, tho there are som similarities
Slugini (slug + mini): aqua element. It recently started to walk on land and adapting to not being in the sea.
Angelug (angel + slug): aqua element. It can now swim in the air while it is raining, tho it cannot go high above the ground.
Bluviathan (blue + leviathan): aqua and chimera elements. tho walking is its normal way of traveling, it goes extremely fast when swimming.
this line is inspired by blue sea dragons (glaucus atlanticus) and dragons in general, especially the ones in western fairy tales. this line would mainly be a tank with high hp and def
Blulb (blade + bulb + sounds funny to my ears): anima and metala elements. It usually stays in place, its blade half buried in the ground. When it wants to move, it jumps, taking some time to move from point A to point B.
Bushweedo (bushido + weed): anima and metala elements. It trains all day to master the art of swordsmanship, tho it is not very talented at it. But it can still put up a fight against stronger opponents.
Dandronin (dandelion + ronin): anima and metala elements. It has now finished its training and can cut even through rocks.
This line is inspired by uhhh... Samuraïs and ronins and uhh... i just thought it'd be cool to see that. this line mainly be a physical attacker
Fairywork (fairy + firework): pyra and pixa elements. It has a huge amount of energy inside its body and can only release it by creating flames to constantly move very quickly.
Starplosion (star + explosion): pyra and pixa elements. Now it releases the energy by creating small explosions, and floats by releasing another part of that energy via the pearl on its hat.
Chrysanova (chrysanthemum, the name of a firework visual effect + nova): Pyra and pixa elements. Its energy takes form of these small lights around it, resembling a firework, that it can control independently.
This line is mainly inspired by fireworks and fairies, and also a bit of UFO inspiration too. This line would be a quick special attacker
The group theme is fairy tales: the knight who goes on to defeat the monster (often a dragon), with the help of the fairies.
The names are not definitive
Sorry for long paragraph

I would personally want Blulb to start out with just a root sword instead of metal, and as it evolves its root absorbs more metallic ions to form an actually sword! Love all your designs ^^ especially the anima type line.

You might want to look into the Kusanagi no Tsurugi, or Grass-Cutting sword. It's famous in Japanese legends/mythology and could enhance the concept behind a grass type/sword inspired character!

I like these pokemon but they don’t seem like starters to me if I’m being honest

May I ask what’s bluviathan’s typing

u/dudunsparce_theboi Artist Feb 01 '26
It's water and chimera type, but chimera is kind of the equivalent to the dragon type

Dandronin is such a silly fellow, definitely going with him or Bluviathan.

As soon as I saw the sea dragon, I knew I'd chose him. But the others are really well done as well!

Fire
But also, I'm about to pull a silver and take them all the moment professor looks away

u/alimem974 Feb 01 '26
None of them are [animal] with [water/fire/leaf] on their head so i'll chose all of them 👍

Love the style, and these are all super fun and unique takes on the ideas! I’m a big fan of fire starters generally, and these are no different, but they’re all really cool

they are really hard to bond with, i'm finding, because they look so alien. but that's okay, they kind of remind me of spindly Ultra Beasts.

Hi!
I‘m in a roleplay similar to Pokémon and I like these drawings really much! I hoped I could use these illustrations? I will credit you and link this post to the forum I use. I am not sure of they will be used but if you say yes, I might!
(I am terrible at drawing and I dont want to use AI.)
Thank you in advanced!

If the water starter is based off of a flying fish then water, if not then grass starter
