Early route mon of the Alker Region: Meofeather and Feliprowl! This cat pokemon has evolved flight to chase down birds. Based on invasive feral cats, owls, and griffins.

Name: Meofeather (meow + feather) Type: normal/flying Species: flying cat pokemon Ability: Quick feet Hidden ability: Run away Stats: HP- 40 Attack- 50 Defense- 35 Special Attack- 20 Special Defense- 45 Speed- 50 Base total- 240 Evolves into Feliprowl at level 26

Name: Feliprowl (feline + prowl +owl) Type: normal/flyng Species: swift hunter pokemon Ability: quick feet Hidden ability: gusty Stats: HP- 70 Attack- 100 Defense- 60 Special Attack-30 Special Defense- 70 Speed- 90 Base total- 420

One of my earliest designs, the concept of a flying cat has really stuck around! I liked that pokemon introduced the idea of invasive species so I decided to incorporate that here, fitting for an island region. These mons started developing fur patterns to mimic birds. I imagine they actually use the ear/wings to glide from tree to tree, still able to hunt like a normal cat. Their subtle griffin inspiration also ties them into the region's mythology theme!

drew @alker-region grass starter with mine. I just thought it was cute how  Cupirie would be sleeping Rooteo’s head because its spiky so it will be protected lol

Fanart for @alker-region‘s amazing grass starter, Bloomazard!  I’m in love with this gentle giant of a plant monster, I hope I did them justice!  (If you haven’t, be sure to check out the rest of the region!  It’s full of great Pokemon designs and the artist is awesome to boot!)

Fanart of two early-route mons from the @alker-region in GSC style. Had to take some artistic license with colours.

The winner of last week's poll, a drumroll for the fire-type starter line of the Alker region: Embat, Flarieft, and Blazerise! Based on flying foxes, heat rising, and butlers. The rest of the starter lines will be posted in the next coming weeks!

Name: Embat (ember + bat) Type: Fire Species: Fire bat pokemon Ability: Blaze Hidden ability: Forewarn Stats: HP-50 Attack-50 Defense-30 Special Attack-60 Special Defense-50 Speed-70 Base total-310 Embat evolves into flarieft at level 17.

Name: Flarieft (flare + lift) Type: Fire/flying Species: Flaming bat pokemon Ability: Blaze Hidden ability: Forewarn Stats: HP-60 Attack-50 Defense-43 Special Attack-80 Special Defense-80 Speed-100 Base total-413

Flarieft evolves into Blazerise at level 34.

Name: Blazerise (blaze + blazer + rise) Type: Fire/flying Species: Flare bat pokemon Ability: Blaze Hidden ability: Forewarn Stats: HP-70 Attack-64 Defense-60 Special Attack-120 Special Defense-100 Speed-120 Base total-534

Blazerise has a signature move: Flare-(fire type)The user sends off a burst of fire that enchants the target. This may cause confusion. Power: 85 PP: 10 Chance to confuse: 10%

Quite fond of this line...perhaps anthropomorphic starters have gotten tiresome but in my defense....Blazerise was conceptualized before people started making fun of starters being less like animals and more like someone's fursona. It was really difficult to redesign blazerise from its older design, and in the future if I get the opportunity to redesign it, I would want to figure out a way to incorporate the arms and fingers into the wings more seamlessly. I'm incredibly happy with Embat and Flarieft, I think the large flaming mane works wonders for their personalities.

and here is a lovely little side view of Embat

Early route bird line of the Alker region! Based on peacock sexual dimorphism and royalty. They have a pompous and haughty personality.

Name: Pavolet (pavo, genus name for peacock) Type: flying Species: chick pokemon Ability: Inner focus Hidden ability: Immunity Stats: HP- 40 Attack- 30 Defense- 30 Special Attack- 50 Special Defense- 40 Speed- 60 Base total- 250 Evolves into Pompreen at level 17

Name: Pompreen (pompous + preen) Type: flying Species: royal bird pokemon Ability: Inner focus Hidden ability: immunity Stats: HP- 70 Attack- 45 Defense- 30 Special Attack-75 Special Defense- 60 Speed- 80 Base total- 360

Evolves into Peacrown at level 34

Name: Peacrown (peacock + crown) Type: flying/fairy Species: regal peacock pokemon Ability: Dazzling/Subdue-Opponent's defense and special defense are lowered when this pokemon is sent out Hidden ability: Immunity Stats: HP- 70 Attack- 60 Defense- 55 Special Attack- 100 Special Defense- 85 Speed- 110 Base total- 480

Here are the old designs! Quite pleased with how the silhouettes were refined. I wish I would have been able to keep the male Peacrown’s tail feathers splayed, but I remember not quite being able to figure out a look that I liked. It was also kind of hard to make them look different from the Pidove line from generation 5 but I think the deep blues and teals do a good job. Pompreen’s facial plumage also evokes a masquerade mask, as if it were attending a costume party.
