Guildtober day 8 - collaboration with other teams or pokemon

Teams Overgrow, Irvine, and the Jetstream. My first three teams!

[fishyoctopus]

I´m probably super late for this party, but I decided to (finally) join the fun of the  「POKEMON CHALLENGE」

With the first family, I -more or less- stuck to the canon designs and palettes, but I decided it takes longer, and doesn´t really suit how I do things. So, starting from charmander, I´ll try to play more with shapes and color, and be as experimental and headcanon driven as I´ve been so far with human fanarts, WHILE keeping them recognisable.

They´ll be posted in family batches (evolution families), OR two family batches if both families only have two stages.

Hope you enjoy this and the upcoming drawings! All of them will be mainly traditional, with digital retouches when I deem them necessary, as to practice traditional art all year round :D

While it is common for some people with the capacity for Mega Evolution to jump at the chance, it's much less common for Venusaur to take that chance. Though Mega Evolution greatly increases their strength--to the point that they are capable of lifting cars with little effort--it also has several physical drawbacks. The weight gain that comes with Mega Evolution is a large part of this problem, as most Venusaur who Mega Evolve gain at least 60 pounds in the process. Though they lose most of it upon reverting to their normal forms, many of them still have extra "pudge" for at least a few weeks afterward. The extra weight is partially muscle and partially fat, for Mega Venusaur need extra fat storage in case of harsh winters or long periods without sunlight. It is believed the Venusaurite was originally created to help nomadic Venusaur survive in harsher climates, so the weight gained in Mega Evolution nowadays is a remnant of that desperation to stay alive.

Mega Venusaur have many more advantages over Venusaur than just their improved strength, most notably the fact that the resting periods that last up to two days for regular Venusaur are far shorter in the case of their Mega forms. Mega Venusaur require little sunlight overall, so the minority of Venusaur who choose to undergo Mega Evolution tend to do so during the winter to make things more bearable. Instead of taking an extended siesta as Venusaur would, Mega Venusaur tough out the freezing conditions and continue to work where other Grass-types cannot. They also seem to have a natural protective instinct, even if they were loners as Venusaur; however, the swollen appearance many of them take on in Mega Evolution cause most of the children they protect to hide their faces in terror.

The longest period of time a Venusaur has remained Mega Evolved for was approximately two weeks, but it is advised not to stay Mega Evolved for over a week in Venusaur's case. Those that remain Mega Venusaur for at least a few days will notice weight gain, lethargy, and in some cases, sudden onsets of vitiligo. Extending one's period as a Mega Venusaur isn't necessarily fatal, but in the two-week case mentioned prior, the Venusaur in question fell into a coma immediately after devolving. Though doctors on his case kept his body outside to gain the sunlight he may have needed to wake up, he never rose from his bed again. It is believed he is still alive and still unconscious to this day, which tends to scare young Bulbasaur away from Mega Evolving entirely. Though Mega Venusaur's unpopularity may seem detrimental, it has also made Mega Venusaur a rare and extraordinary sighting, to the point that they are considered minor celebrities in the brief periods of time they spend in this bigger, stronger form.

As one of the bulkiest Grass-types under the sun--with high levels of stamina to boot--Venusaur is a frequent choice for assisting with construction in rural areas. Rumor has it that if a Venusaur lives somewhere in town, they will eventually end up on the project somehow, even if through disability or old age they are incapable of providing physical aid. Those who are surprised by this widespread tradition need only to look at a Venusaur in action: even if they appear rather slender, they are impressively strong and very in-touch with the world around them. Though their personal scents are not as strong as Ivysaur's, they have a more profound effect in creating a general sense of calm and serenity in the immediate area. This effect is so subtle that most people don't even notice it, which makes it all the more useful when tension is in the air.

Despite all this, some Venusaur refuse to take part in architectural developments, mainly because they don't want any more natural land to be ruined by the installment of new buildings. Environmental destruction tends to be one of the only things that can truly infuriate a Venusaur, and when angry they are prone to engaging in violent battles with coworkers. The calming scents they produce don't help here--Venusaur are only affected by the aromas produced by other Venusaur. Though this anger can be seen as a serious disadvantage, it also makes many Venusaur die-hard conservationists who put their power into building spaces for zoos, nature preserves, and botanical gardens. It's rather common to see Venusaur serving as park rangers or zookeepers, if only to have occupations close to what they love.

Though it's been previously mentioned that Venusaur have incredible stamina, it does run out eventually, and that's what leads to one of Venusaur's biggest weaknesses. When a Venusaur's strength is entirely depleted, they usually need to rest for upwards of two days at a time to be able to function properly again. During this resting period, they spend as much time outside as possible, typically wearing open-backed shirts so their skin can absorb as much sunlight as it can. When a Venusaur is in one of these resting periods, their physical abilities are suppressed and they become even slower in movement than usual--Venusaur are not known for their speed to begin with, but on their downtime it's even more noticeable. However, it is believed that there is some special magic to Venusaur's recharging, for when they lay down to rest their weary bones, flowers seem to bloom around them in a matter of hours.

By the time their energy has come back, most Venusaur return to their previous projects with more color in their skin and a more pleasant, calming aroma around them than ever before.
