[ART] Mutantyoshi's Fakemon

That second one is way too busy. Pokemon style isn't just about how you shade it or how the eyes look. Try to pay attention to what they do with shape and patterns. I don't think I'm good enough to examine it with real accuracy, but it seems to me that pokemon tend to be simple, sleek, and convey...something or another, usually.

So I typically see certain things emphasized on Pokemon. On the Sandile line, for example, the first things I notice are their eyes and their snouts. They have very distinctive shapes. There are only a few stripes on each one in certain patterns rather than being dispersed all over the body, and they seem to convey (at least, to me...) a sort of "bad" or "prisoner uniform" vibe with "bad guy spikes". Yours just kind of seems like "plant stuff everywhere just because". My eyes don't really have a point to focus on, so all the details just get lost.
