A Meme that's going around DeviantART, that my good buddy Arvalis got me in on.
Draw yourself as a trainer with six of your all-time favourite pokemon. (legendaries excluded)
I tried to add my own realistic / creepy style to what we used to know and love as those cutesie, cuddly pokemon. Most of them worked out - but Raichu just wouldn't cooperate when it came to looking intimidating, so he was the one that ended up looking a little special.
Feel free to hop this bandwagon and make one of your own, by the way! Besides making you look like a gigantic nerd, it's actually pretty fun.
Enjoy!! :D
The People Have Spoken
Average Score: 9.9 / 10
the overall peice is amazing, but the Golduck KICKS MAJOS A$$
amazing i love every single of your art ill love to see more thx the animation in the art was brillaint :}
I love your take on them, especially Scyther - if any of the original Pokemon deserved to look badass, it was that dude. Okay, and Charizard, but that's sort of beside the point. The detail that went into this - especially the diaphanous insect wings and the scars and tattered wings on the purple dragon (is that one of the newer ones? I don't recognize it) - is so awesome it almost makes me want to watch the cartoon again... maybe you should make a Pokemon flash cartoon! :P
Nice touch with the maple leaf, too, and is that a Pokedex on your belt? :D
The only problem is that it sort of looks like you're about to throw that Pokeball, but if that's your entire team behind you (which it must be since you can only carry six, unless you're cheating :O), then it must be empty. It does make a badass pose, though, so who cares?
YOU COULDVE HAD A FREAKIN GYRADOS WHICH IS JUST FRAKIN BADASS but the golduck got to it first (the poor thing prob tried to splash attack :3 ) amazingly well done, i love the raichu, the rapidash, and the umbreon especially, this is how pokemon should look (yes even the raichu, that yay when things or laughing, it just strangles them with its tail then give them an idea what an old fashioned execution was like :3 ) very very awesome
Is one of you're Pokemon eating another? Now that's teamwork.
You have an amazing drawing talent,
You tend to draw alot of oversized boobs (wich might be a little strange for a girl, but hey, someones gotta do it)
You liked pokemon (*cough* dont we all say we stopped liking pokemon after reaching a certain age? :P)
And again, amazing extraordinarily good drawing skillz! (awesome job on making those pokemon look realisic, and raichu's face is ftw)
Say more?
Do I wrong or the Rapidash has a Canada flag shaped leaf on the gluteus?
Very original and good, by the way. :D
Author's Response:
lol You would be right with that one!
Hottest of unicorns fromt he coldest norths. :D
thats kool as hell but the wierd thing is i wanted to draw the same type of pic today!
If they started drawing this way they would get a whole lot more viewers
That's the most Scyther ever!
I don't have a favorite team per se, but I do have favorite pokemon that I enjoy using so here's my list. Oh, and Eevee and all her evolutions are favs. of mine, but won't be on the list:
Fire: Typhlosion or Vulpix/Ninetails
Water:Tentacruel or Milotic
Electric: Electabuzz
Grass: Tropius
Ground: Cubone/Marawok
Rock: Kabutops or Onix
Ice: Froslass or Lapras
Psychic: Alakazam
Dark aka My Favorite: Sneasel/Weaville, Absol, and Murkrow/Honchkrow
Steel: Scizor
Bug: Ariados
Normal: Persian and Kangaskhan
Dragon: Dratini
Poison: Arbok and Crobat
Fighting: Hitmonlee and Lucario
Flying: Skarmory and Areodactyl
Ghost: Haunter and Misdreavus
There you have it, my favorites. Excellent work again, maybe you can make another with different teams....
seriously this a great picture love how you added your own style to it
Your realistic style looks terrific. And besides, it suits very well your choise of pokemons (I love all of them, btw).
On the other hand, Raichu makes an awesome contrast with all the others, and gives something "special" to the image. No matters that you drawed him like that by "accident" (because you were unable to make him look "realistic").
Just one little thing, not everyone draw as good as you do (some of use don't even draw good)... so, is not that we don't join the meme because we don't want to... but because we can't. :P
this picture kicks some serious ass. Amazing art.
I like your style very much and the fact that its pokemon is all that much more special!!
Man the style is perfect, the fact that if these things were gunna keep up with the generation that spawned the obsession with them, would have to some day beef up the image and make them look more badazz style and you did that perfectly!!
Man i wish I could draw so I could do this but sadly no loves for me!! but the best round up has to be ---Kadabra, Gengar, Venusaur, pidgeot, Dugtrio, Gyarados all the way!!!
but it's nice to see another fan out there who isn't afraid to show it.
Back to the drawing....
I think if they had used this style in the show it would be much better off, as more teens wouldn't be afraid to admit watching such a badass looking series.
{Too late now though ;-; }
I love how crazy scyther looks, i mean that is just cool. I'd be interested to see a Scizor evolve from that.
Umbreon is definitely the most realistic as many people forget the fox(Evee) is closer to a dog than a cat(i think)
Canadian Rapidash-hottest unicorn from one of the coldest places
Raichu does look like he was spaded, XD but just fyi there are some cool pics of him out there
As for Golduck, neck seems a little long to me but hey still awsome
and finally, Aerodactyl. He was just so understated, so under appreciated in the show that it was ridiculous. But this, this is what a pterodactyl/dragon poke'mon should look like, end of story.
p.s. your ability to portray yourself is simply astounding, you must have alot of confidence in either yourself or your abilities to draw you over and over, even if it is just cartoon form
cool drawing.
haha to Rakyth - a Pontiac is a make of car....
I never used any of those pokemon in ure roster lol. You made psyduck look awsome. One of my least fav pokemon and u made em look kool (:
good job its awsome ;D
Awesome job on making a scary Scyther, though. I only recognize 3 of them, and you can probably guess which 3.
The flamy..horse...one pontiac?:X I forgot the name! D: has a nice, muscled style to it.
That I like.
Dragon looks fat IMHO but then again, so were most of the warriors in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms :P
Raichu looks sodomized, which may or may not be good, depending on if you find that funny[I do]
On the bluething, you did a nice job on making it look violent and lethal-Wouldn't want to mess with that guy. It's the uhh..psyduck's digivolve-SADFG Not digivolve, uhh...whatever right?:D xD
Can't say anything about the last one, cause I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like[Pokemon have always looked funny]
..[the older ones]
[Could only name Scyther ._.]
Author's Response:
Hah - thanks for the in-depth analysis, there. :P
Glad Scyther turned out so well. :)
From left to right: It's Scyther, Rapidash, Raichu, Aerodactyl (the fat dragon), Umbreon and Golduck. :B
i see the Canada's leaf on the that unicorns ass. pretty fliping sweet. That sycther is something out of my nightmares O.O. still love it though <3
You always have looked like a Pokémon trainer to me...
These have to be the best drawn pokemon i've ever seen. I would definately catch all of them if they looked this real.
DO A SPLASH ATTACK!
With monsters that actaully LOOK dangerous.
If I'm correct, the show's audience was actually meant for teens.
Maybe they need to make another version of Pokemon, one for older audiences.
It's that nostalgia that really keeps the gamers playing the new titles.
This looks COOL.

So...that's your squad of pokemon huh?
Mine was a pretty Elemental Based Team
-PIkachu
-Flareon
-Garadous
-Ivysaur
-Golem
-Haunter
-Charzard
This is very VERY good. I like this new meme people are doing. I get to see some off my favorite pokemon changed into AWESOME stuff! Love it :D
Pokemon that look like they should. If pokemon were real, this is wat i would want them to look like. Not that wimpy small crap. This is new, and its awesome! I just not sure wat to say. Pokemon WAS one of my favorite shows, and I always wanted to have one. The muscles and shading, terrific. I also admire yur choice of pokemon. Where you are standing , I wish I could be there. A large cheering crowd would be nice, but other than that, just terrific
Amazing
You get an improve in some classic creatures, i always thinks that pokemon was better if they keep the first 150, and don't try getting rich making more... creatures... ¬¬
great details again
Scyther look more buggy... and with a spike nick... wild
rapidash looking more serious, with an arce leaf tatto
Umbreon alert, with an ear ring and an ankle chain
Raichu with is cloth neck... thing... i don't remember the word.
Aerodactyl with some scars... furious and a little scary
And a goldduck, sure about his powers, torturing a magikarp
nice background to... sadly is empty, looks like a practice evening
(I guess that'll be annoying making that lot of people).
nice work with the muscles in the pokemons, with lights and shadows...
good belt too
And for finish, an opinion
(if this is a review, why i post an opinion?? because i use the review first for justify the stars)
yeah, make me remember the funny way to play gba pokemons.
nice work with your hair at the wind. put this "We are NOT a team, We are THE team"
great work again
if pokemon were real i think thats what they would look like
Looks like Golduck got him some breakfast.
lol great picture
makes me wish my game boy and pokemon games weren't stolen so I can play some more.
Good job, great color choices, solid composition.
very nice.
5/5

Hey, thanks! :)
lol I used to own a bunch of the games way back (which is why I picked mostly original pokemon) but I have no clue where they ended up! :C
