I put up the fire starter poll, and where I previously said "Mayan-based" I put up "Mayan/Aztec Jaguar"

I'm voting this time. Big cats are nice but a Ram is something entirely new.

God it took me so long to make a good design, is it good? should it stand on all fours?..
I wanted to make a sprite but the design itself took too long...

Oh, and I voted on the new poll, I chose Ram because it's new and I think Growlithe and Arcanine are tiger like ( they're dogs ).

Plus I'm a Aries.

Update

I just felt like drawing my designs of the fire starters, I actually like the Tiger idea.

How about an eel mixed with an anglerfish sort of thing for the Water starter? It's eye could be on it's stalk.
~Drakocat~ I think that design is really cool.

The water starters have never been fish ever

OK then, maybe it could be a lobster? And I like the dolphin idea too.

well fishlike bodes would be a bad Idea, look at the snake, it has a crappy movepool due to not having limbs. A fish-body pokemon can't use any fist, kick, or claw moves, leaving a small selection of beam, tail, and tackleing moves.

it could use water guns and hydro pumps but yes, i agree that fish-like bodies shouldn't be used

my only problem with this is that it looks too much like cyndaquil with the flame spots. maybe go baegle's rout and make the wool fiery?

or magma wool, like how macargo's shell.

Water type ideas (not necessarily starter but i'm just gonna throw them all out there)
Kappa
Squid. Do we even have a squid yet? Octillery and tentacool, but...
Barracuda
Dunkleosteus

Also note when we decide on the starters, the Create-A-Generation thread might help us decide on what else to make

Fiery wool might be too much in my opinion. The first form is always easy-going.

I had an idea for a satyr sort of design. Upright and the lower half of its body is woolly. Eventually it would become the Horned God-like. Satanic and more fiery.

But that's just my ideas.

reposting this since we're on the topic of the fire starter. Now that I look at it, should it be a second form? (it looks more like one)
I just like the idea of a large ram with that wise, lazy eyed look.

or have it based on the by product of fire, the smoke,

the 'Smoke Wool' Pokemon would be cool (and has potential to be Fire/Poison, or Fire/Dark)

BTW can we start submittng design ideas in art form for the startrs?

I havn't made final stages yet.

My plan for the lizard is based on a rose with thorns (so it can learn Needle Arm, and wood hammer)

The Platypus will learn Poison Tail,(an a new move called Toxic Nail{overwrite twineedle in a Rom}) and I'm not sure on any special moves the Ram will get.

those horns

shoot out smoke

We need that. (or at least fire. It has to shoot out smoke or fire. What a cool detail)

the final form would put out fire (shiny form would be blue fire! *pyrogasms*) which is why the smoke produced gets progressively smaller.

moveset prediction!
