Last but not least, here's the new-and-improved Aquasus! (Go ahead, get the obligatory joke out of your system. I'll wait.) The fins were a pain in the butt, but I'm happy with how they and the rest of the design turned out. With the Aquus line's new theme being the sense of sight, I decided to play up a couple aspects of the original design accordingly. The fact that it gets its wings at this stage now ties into the theme, with it being intensely proud of them and showing them off. They also have brightly shimmering markings now, with blues and greens reminiscent of peacocks. The patch of lighter blue next to the eye was a detail I added while coloring it, giving the impression of tears of joy. As for the main body coloration, that's partly just because I wanted a nice stormy blue-gray, and partly for contrast with the bright markings. The final evolutions for these starters are on my to-do list, but I'm thinking it'd be a good idea to break up the Fakemon with more original content. Or at least things that aren't Fakemon. I don't know for sure what, though. In any case, stay tuned!

The final evolution of the final starter! Those fins are kind of annoying to vector, though. Thank Arceus for symbols.

#009 Aquacampus(aqua+hippocampus) Sea Horse Pokemon Water/Fairy Gender ratio: 87.5% male, 12.5% female Breeding: Water 1/Field Base stats: 112/75/95/83/100/65 Ability: Torrent HA: Sea Breeze Evolves from Aquasus at level 32 Ct: It is a favorite among collectors. Some people say that particularly exotic varieties are the mark of an expert breeder. Ar: Aquacampus is capable of traveling by land, water, and sky. This versatility combined with its stamina make it an excellent Pokemon to ride. Signature move: Chromatic Circle - Type: Water - Category: Status - The user creates a protective rainbow that reduces damage from physical and special attacks for five turns. This move can only be used in the rain. (I really didn't want to recycle another move under a different type, but a Water-type rain-based Aurora Veil just made sense.)

Whew, two stages down, one to go. Unless I make Mega evolutions, which is fairly likely-ish. Then I'm not sure what I'll prioritize next. But in the meantime, here ya go:

#002 Paralisk (bird-of-paradise+paralyze+basilisk) Bud Pokemon Grass Gender ratio: 87.5% male, 12.5% female Breeding: Grass/Dragon Base Stats: 68/70/65/70/67/75 Ability: Overgrow HA: Petrify Evolves from Peckatrice at level 14 Ct: The thorns on Paralisk’s back are poisonous. Anything that dares attack it from behind will likely end up incapacitated for days. Ar: They hunt in small packs, using their keen sense of smell to track their prey, and their leaves for camouflage. If you see one in the wild, you are probably surrounded. #005 Wolpertorch (wolpertinger+torch) Hare Pokemon Fire/Fighting Gender ratio: 87.5% male, 12.5% female Breeding: Field/Human-like Base Stats: 60/80/58/77/55/85 Ability: Blaze HA: Rabbit’s Foot Evolves from Bunfire at level 18 Ct: Its evolution has made its upper body significantly stronger, adding powerful punches to its arsenal of attacks. It takes some time to get used to its newfound strength, though. Ar: Wolpertorch is well known for its blazing speed. For a long time, many people doubted that it even existed, because it rarely stands still long enough to get a good look at it. #008 Aquasus (aqua+pegasus) Sea Horse Pokemon Water Gender ratio: 87.5% male, 12.5% female Breeding: Water 1/Field Base Stats: 85/60/72/63/75/60 Ability: Torrent HA: Sea Breeze - This Pokemon flies without a care in the world. (Ignores opponents' boosts to Attack, Special Attack, and Accuracy when attacked. Also provides immunity to Ground-type moves.) Evolves from Aquus at level 16 Ct: Using its newly developed “wings,” Aquasus swims as gracefully as if it were flying through the water. However, very few of them are able to actually fly yet. Ar: This Pokemon is popular for its easygoing nature and for the lovely spots on its mane, wings, and tail. Some are specially bred for more vibrant markings.
