How about, since I don't think Lapras is nessie enough, we give Lapras an evolution with a corny-sounding name: Lochpras. Lochpras would be much more nessie-like. Lapras would evolve at level 50, because I want this to be strong!

Make it so the Hard Shell trait undoes the Fighting weakness or give it Calm Mind or something hmmm? Or even just a speed boost...

Yeah, I think it's fair for him to have a 50/50 chance of getting the opponent in the arena trap's effect when they or he is summoned.
oh and lapras getting a evo? dream on, there's no way anyone would accept that if we put it into the game.

so what do you think? give any opinions you want, I don't mind. This is our game, so don't hesitate to voice what you want and don't want. And if you criticize me then please do not leave without explaining what I should do instead. Oh and I'd appreciate a better sprite for nalphin. Xs mean I have yet to finish that part of the form

I like the way that the stats and all are looking, the physical design just needs to be reworked. Nalphin looks more like it's got a unicorn horn rather than a Narwhal tooth, or the tooth is spearing its brain . The horn placement on the orca is better. We need to rework the coloring. The eyes aren't on the white spots, and it kinda creeps me out that this one's are. Also I'd like to see the underbelly look more like that of an orca's in coloration too. They've got like a saddle-like design on their stomachs. I get that it's supposed to look somewhat like Wailord, but I'd like to see the fluke and the dorsal fin reworked. Sorry if I sound picky, it's what happens when you go to Sea World camp.

I did terribly on the Nalphin sprite and I apologize, but I can't seem to get it right, I need that "nose" part and at the same time have a horn on it. Plus it seems kind plain.
Oh and what's a fluke? I don't know.
EDIT: That better?

I like this line, but the sprites will still need work... note that the patterns don't need to exactly match the real life... not even the colors need to be that close... and you should really try to make it look less like Wailord, give it a look of its own. and Remember that these pokemon have teeth and it wouldn't be a bad idea to have the Orca's mouth open if you can pull that off... Nalphin too needs work, as it is looking to be like a blue Dewgong... it needs to be Dolphin like, and maybe a bottle nose would be best to show that. A larger forehead with the horn sticking out and a nice bottle nose... once you've got everythignlooking generally correct, it can be edited to be smoother... As for colors, I think you should make the dolpphin a light blluish-gray and the orca white and a very dark navy blue... Icicle spear maybe? And please... I'm so tired of Swift Swim, they need a cool secondary trait... And here's a good spriting guide... it is for ADV sprites, but everything still applies to D/P, you just have more room. www.dragonflycave.com/recoloring.aspx

Sorry if I sound picky, it's what happens when you go to Sea World camp. Off-topic, but the unicorn horn (in mythology) is actually merely a narwhal horn with magical properties. If someone were to break off the unicorn's horn and drink the liquid inside, they would become immune to poison. So it's okay if it looks like a unicorn horn.

Well.... Tropius is a bannana tree... but a Fruit pokemon would be cool... I dunno though... If we do end up having a Grass Flying, Your going to have to compete with Helicropter.... but if competition is fine with you, go for it... It doesn't have to necesarrily be part flying since Kiwi's don't even have wings, it was just an idea kinda like Doduo which doesn't really seems to have wings either, even though it learns fly. And on the topic of the narwhal ones I just found a picture that's pretty cool. It's a narwhal's skull that had 2 tusks instead of one which is apparently just a very rare occurance. I think it would be cool to maybe have the orca have something like this, but then again that may be too much like a Walrien with 2 tusks.

I'm planing on remaking Nalphin completely so I'll remember to make more emphasis on the nose and put his horn at the end of it. And I'll make the orca have a open mouth and color it a navy blue.
Also, the trait was going to have an X instead of swift swim, but I just forgot about it. I'm planing on maybe having poison point or immunity, what do you think?

thanks for trying snak, but that doesn't look much better (no offense) I like the pose though, I think I'll try making a third sprite using that pose.

I don't think it'd hurt to make the horn more drill-like not unlike Rhydon.
Also, white circles down its side (I'm thinking 3) might be kinda cool, as it'll make it resemble something akin to a submarine.
Also, for some reason I want to make its tail fin into a sort of bionic propeller like Bouysel. Dunno why. I do think the tail fin leaves a lot to be desired, creativity-wise.
There's nothing stopping you from putting two dorsel fins on, either XD (I'm thinking make them sort of perpendicular to the... side-fin-things so that they create a sort of X when you're looking at it head-on).
Those are my suggestions.

Nalphin doesn't need a branch evo imo its current guy is built fairly solidly (as in it's playable and there's actual motivation to use him) as it is. I mean, what realistically would we use? A killer whale? Our "Narwall" looks like a killer whale anyways and a second narwall would be meh.
I was under the impression branch evos were being given if there was a really sound argument for it or if the pokemon needed a complete overhaul.

who said about giving him a branch evo? i don't think anyone said anything about that DH. What were looking for right now is a good Nalphin sprite whom we can't seem to get right just yet. (I'm trying though!)

It says Narwall alpha up there, it sorta implies the branch.
