    These look really great!

    I hope you do their evolutions too.

    Edit: a typo

  3. RattieTheGliscor

    these would be fire convergent evolutions 🔥✨

  4. Odd-Guard-2533

    This strikes me as Gen 2. But they look great regardless

  5. Ooooh they’re soooo great! I loooove Litten!

  6. Lucaanastasi

    Oh god I love them!
    Please do the evos!!!

  7. Kininger625

    I would actually consider using poplio for the first time

  8. RegyptianStrut

    I kind of disagree that Rowlett would be elongated if it were designed for Gen 1. I also think most of his appeal is lost with the new shape

    Round animal Pokemon like Jigglypuff and Venonat existed in gen 1, and Hoothoot in gen 2 (the first owl) is an early example of a circular owl.

    Good art regardless! Litten especially looks better to me here

  9. Navithehalfbeast

    Litten is really cute, I wish it would’ve stayed quadripedal.

  10. 2 of these 3 look very similar to the scrapped gen 2 starters. You have to wonder if there was some inspiration there.

  11. MoJazzee

    These are amazing! There is just something magical about those early gens and the watercolor style pictures of them. Please do the evolutions or other gens starters in this style!

  12. Darktagger

    Look at the Popplio mouth flaps! I would have loved this design in-game.

  13. Pyritedust

    I love the Rowlet here, especially the sprite, it’s adorable.

  14. Isaac470

    Poplio and Rowlet’s sprites actually look so good wtf

  15. mr_clappedy

    These go so hard. I love the retro art style.

  16. alliusis

    That Popplio is gold. I love normal Popplio but this is just freaking adorable, I want my Mr. water puppy. 

  17. JohnnyTheLiar

    Really great work! The sprites feel pretty natural, it made me think of playing Blue version again and seems like it would fit right in.

  18. ForgottenWaffle

    I think yours look better than the official

  19. Godziwwuh

    Amazing how emulating gen 1 and 2 styles is instantly superior.

  20. laithdano1

    THIS IS REALLY AWESOME AND AMAZING alolan starters as GEN 1 perfectly on the spot !!!

  21. I like this version of Litten. He reminds me of Squanchy from Rick and Morty. 

  22. RYUMASTER45

    please tell me you have few more like this, this is what I want right now
