All Fan Art in Mixed and Other

Haunter barely holds the title of favorite Ghost, as I may have discovered his replacement in Pokemon Y after this was drawn. However, like Goodra, character familiarity is necessary. It's also funny that Haunter has this really cocksure look on his face, but hasn't visibly won Death Reaper JOE any battles. That being said, he's his next most reliable Pokemon, second only to Misdreavus in that she actually has power to back her loyalty. The rest of them have personality quirks or ego issues that get in the way.

Haunter is from Alternate Universe.

Most of the small birds are cute, and that's good enough for me, but Fletching takes it to a whole other level, especially with that beautiful chirp. I didn't want to evolve mine, but life goes on, you know? If I had made that Pokemon X/Y based comic, this Fletchling would have been a minor character, I could've drawn any of the siblings, really. Fletchinder would've been more important, but Fletchling still wins out as a Pokemon in general. At this time, there's no plans to use any of the Fletchling line anymore.

In a move that surprises no one, I reveal my favorite Fire type to be Vulpix. Add Vulpix to the list of Pokemon that I've loved for as long as they existed. Vulpix starts off in the series as just the Cute Kid, but like Eevee and Joy in Poke Tales through Legends, you can noticeably tell her growing older, even within the series' floating timeline (very few characters in AU canonically age). Either way, she remains very stable, but knows how to just be a kid and have some fun while that ride lasts. Like Nidorina, she's known for having several hairstyles because if you've got it, flaunt it.

Vulpix is from Alternate Universe, and is also inspired by the Pokemon of the same name from my copy of Pokemon Silver.

"If I don't keep up with my training, my Trainer is going to haunt me in my sleep..." Hitmontop is mostly a background character, but he's a nice guy otherwise, and pretty loyal to Son of Nightmare. All of SoN's Pokemon are close to him because he takes Pokemon training seriously, maybe too much so at times.

Hitmontop is from Alternate Universe.

The last time I saw a Pokemon for the first time and declared it mine had to be Kirlia back in the 3rd generation. Well, Aromatisse was that for the 6th. I tend to have a thing with faving Pokemon the majority ignores, though. I sure know how to pick 'em, but to that end, it just makes me feel that much better about working them out to an interesting degree. Everyone and their mom has an Umbreon character, how can you stand out? Favorite Fairy by and large, and she kicks some butt too.

Chanel's a small town girl looking to make a name for herself as one of Paris's youngest up and coming showgirls. Not the burlesque kind, you. More like a Radio City Rockette. She can sing, she can dance, she can act and she can perform magic! Alas, no one cares. But hey, well that's life too~.

Chanel has yet to appear in any tangible work, but I do hold out the hope that she will, at least to the degree of Lisa Berkley. Currently, she is inspired by the Aromatisse of the same name in my copy of Pokemon Y.

It's weird that both Flaaffy and Ampharos are on this list. Ampharos is more of a technicality which I'll explain later. Right now, let's talk Flaaffy. Of all electric types, Flaaffy has been my favorite hands down probably forever. It's kinda plump though, which if anything helps it's case for cuteness. Anabelle is a woman of southern charm and generosity, despite not having much. She's another one of those domesticated types in a wild world, like a lot of the Poke Forest regulars. A diamond in the rough, if you will.

Anabelle is from Poke Legends.

The cuter dragons of the series I like. Dratini and Goomy's family are all neat, and so is Flygon (I forget if Vibrava's a dragon, and Trapinch certainly isn't, but he counts as a favorite elsewhere). However, familiarity makes me side with Dragonite, whereas a newcomer like Goodra, who for all intents and purposes is even cuter (a cuter fully realized dragon than Dragonite? And people thought Dragonite was as twee as it was gonna get), doesn't get the bill because I'm just not familiar enough with it. Needs more character attachment, that Goodra.

This Dragonite is rather run of the mill, laid back and easy going like a beach bum. However, you'll find he has the fortitude and smarts of an archaeologist and adept treasure hunter when it comes to learning about who he is as a "dragon".

Dragonite is from Poke Island.

This one called for Dark Type, a type of Pokemon I don't typically care about because I'm not in high school anymore. :P That said, I always felt Sableye was more solid than gossamer, so the traditional idea of "ghost" doesn't come up, and it just brings Dark to the forefront instead, Yami's soul stealing powers aside. Speaking of soul consumption, don't look into his eyes. Said soul consumption just... happens, if you do. This tends to leave him lonely and friendless.

Yami is from Chibi's Corner.

It's only fitting that this kicks off with Butterfree, probably one of the absolute earliest (reoccurring) characters in any Pokemon inclusive series I've had. Butterfree has also been my favorite Bug for the longest time, with Parasect closely behind. Butterfree gained the title of "Psychic Butterfree" from the Poke Forest denizens because of his immense power and apparent "Chosen One" status. He's been appointed as the guardian of Poke Forest by Lady Mew, meaning that there are other areas of Poke Island with their own guardians to keep order.

Butterfree is from Poke Island.

Created for a Tumblr marathon known as POKEDDEXY. The point was to draw each of your favorite Pokemon of each type, and then some as you'll see down the line. I didn't actually finish it until January, 2014, due to a late start, other obligations, and the fact that a portion of the art actually has some thought in it rather than really fast doodles. Well, of course I was gonna want to use them later, might as well make them at least half-presentable. This picture was created in the style of Pop'n Music/Rhythmic Pop'n.

Patterns from webtreats ETC. Also, inspired by an official piece of PNM promo art, so there's some similarities.

I'm still taken aback by the fact that there's Pokemon beyond Generation III in this picture. Gosh, who'da thunk it? There's also a bit of cosplay for those of you who also revel in obscure Japanese fun n' games, and just for kicks, two extras decided to... Pop'n... for a cameo (who won't be pictured otherwise). :D Not ashamed of that, nope.
