A couple of years ago (eep!) I started doing sketchies of starter pokemon I either chose or would have chosen. Part of the reason was to keep trying to do this "warm up sketch" idea I kept reading about (it doesn't seem to work for me) and another part was trying to post daily on steem (I failed, and given how tiring it was I started advising especially new artists to make a post schedule if they wanted to maintain some semblance of routine but not to try daily, and given how many people burned out trying I keep advising this).
A comment on the chikorita piece on deviantART recently reminded me that I hadn't finished the series so I decided to continue it.
And bashed out Piplup so fast I thought I better do the rest of them and post them in one post rather than posting several crappy sketchies over the next few days XD
deviantART however is getting them one at a time over the next few days because I can't be bothered combining them into one thing for it.
Gen 1 - Pyxi the Pikachu (original post)

My first ever Pokemon game was Yellow which is why Pikachu is my gen1 starter rather than Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle. Though if I'd actually had a choice I would have taken the Eevee which is still my favourite (tied only with the Eeveelutions XD).
Gen 2 - Chikorita (original post)

Didn't play but would have picked this one as it's kind of cute.
Gen 3 - Treeko (original post)

As above, didn't play but would have picked this one because cute.
Gen 4 - Blue the Piplup

I did actually have this one! I bought Platinum to go along with the bigs' first Pokemon games which were Diamond and Pearl.
Gen 5 - Snape the Snivy

the bigs bought themselves Black and White, and I tried it out without saving. Was a tough call between Oshawott and Snivy and Snivy ended up winning purely because for whatever reason it reminded me of Snape from the Harry Potter series.
Gen6 - Fennekin

The first (and possibly only) time I picked the fire starter (unlike my sister who always took the fire starters). Because fennec foxes.
Gen 7 - Rowlet

Almost picked the fire starter again here because the basic had the most sensible design of the lot. But I'm a real sucker for raptors so owl it would be, and I think I like its final form best.

This post also appears on my blog.
I have posted the pikachu, chikorita and treeko here before but finding anything on here is kind of nightmare XD
Thanks for looking! ^_^
Come hang out on Discord with us!

Haha! Pikachu would be the only overlap we would have (because... forced), but the fennec one would be a similar pic as well. I usually pick water, but Cynadquil is love. Cyndaquil is life!
If I'd had one of the games other than Yellow I would probably have picked Bulbasaur, so seems I'm mostly grassy XD
You wouldn't have picked Piplup?
Grass is almost always my last pick, I feel hahaha! Squirtle all the way down! I was on my TMNT phase (still am) so it's automatic!
Totes Piplup! Penguins may be assholes, but they sure as hell are cute to look at!
Blue the Piplup is my fav. ❤️
Favourite colour? Favourite animal? Favourite starter? :D
Fav your depiction of a Pokémon, but I liked the others too. I hate Pokémon as a general rule, but your art pieces were charming. :)
^_^
Now I'm wondering if you'd like my realistic pokemon more or less XD (I have this bad habit of sketching them semi-realistic and was going to 3d model some realistic ones but I only ever managed one and it was done in a hurry so it needs to be redone properly but time)
Adorable @ryivhnn I have to admit I know nothing of pokemon, I've never even seen an episode. I know a few years ago there was that ap game that everyone was into, either way these are pretty darn cute creatures and drawings :)
Thanks ^_^
I never really got into the anime to be honest, the characters annoyed me XD I did enjoy the games though (well the Gameboy and then DS games for a while before I got bored of the formula, and the trading card game to this day which I don't play much anymore due to time constraints).
I never played pokemon so I don't know any of these, except for pikachu since he is so famous but they are really cool, @ryivhnn :D Love Rowlet and Fennekin the most <3 But each of them seems really fab~
I don't actually know much past gen2, picking up bits and pieces as Pokemon Go is now the only pokemon game I play regularly (because it's easy to play when walking a dog). I still love my pokemons though XD
Thanks ^_^
I remember knowing all the names of the different Pokemon, around the end of the 90s. I wasn't necessarily interested in it - nor in the game - but my ( 9 year ) younger brother was and I was his big example so I made a sacrifice for him.
These days it's just a trauma that I try to forget about.
Just kidding about the latter part, haha
I just wasn't nerdy enough and felt too old for it, I guess, haha but it was kind of fun, for a bit :>)
P.S. I always liked and like your drawings
LoL I'm sure it wasn't as bad as all that and hey gave you something to do with your little brother ;D (even if it wasn't exactly your idea of a good time lol)
Yay I'm glad you like my drawings including the crappy ones? XD
Fennekin!
I blame miss 12 for liking foxes.
That liking foxes thing is exactly why I would have picked the fire starter for the first time ever 😆
Does Miss 12 play?
