Entry: 
It adores humans, and spends the day watching them from afar to learn about their behavior and preferences. It puts up a cute act whenever it finds a human, trying to manipulate them into giving it food. If rejected, it can throw a tantrum and become quite aggressive. It is said that experienced Manipups have such strong magic at their control that they can control the minds of humans into just doing their bidding, skipping the acting cute part.

Baby-Doll Eyes
Me First
Water Gun
Disarming Voice

I wasn't even supposed to post a fakemon this week, but I finished it so quickly this afternoon I thought I might as well just upload it already. Hope it doesn't feel too rushed.

Just like real baby pink river dolphins, Manipup it's actually gray, but it turns pink as it grows into adulthood: [image]
And a nod to the folklore, pink river dolphins can only assume human form at night, so Manipup has to be evolved into it's more human-like evolution in nighttime as well.
...Not much more to say about it, really.

Well, hope you all liked it, and see you guys next time!

Noooo, it's what it wants, don't succumb to it! And don't feed it either, it will make it stronger!
... But thanks, glad you liked it!

This little dolphin gave me some mixed feelings.

Five stages of discovering Manipup:

1. Aww, look at it, so cute!
2. Why is it called Manipup tho?
3. Aww, so cute, it begs for food, poor thing >w<
4. Wait, what? It can control my mind? Okay, the cuteness well just went dry.
5. Oh, that's why it's called Manipup! I get it now.

In his mind, he's actually screaming:
"You're all going to love me, you guys wanting it or not!!!"

EEEEEE! This thing is so CUTE and I wanna take it home with me and name it Flipper!

The suit-like markings of this little guy are a pretty interesting touch, as is the fact that unlike other first-stage dolphins (save for Darksilvania's Phlippin, I guess), he looks like he's standing upright which helps bridge the transition to Mermarize quite nicely. I especially like how you specifically homaged the fact that encantandos can only shapeshift at night with the evolution method, which is similar to Sneasel/Weavile (level up with Razor Claw at night), come to think of it. The fact that both are very sneaky and manipulative makes the comparison quite appropriate. Great job!

(Hnnngh now I want to draw Manipup and Phindus and all those other good dolphin fakemon swimming altogether now but I don't have the tiiiime X_X)

Glad you guys actually liked it! I'm having A LOT of second thoughts about it now... Maybe I'll update it's design in the future, it's bothering me up a lot right now.
If Mermarizes likes humans so much it disguises itself as one and kidnaps people, I wanted the pre-evo to want people's attention and use it's cuteness for that, so I went with a simplified baby version of it!  
The Prism Scale idea came from a friend of mine, but I really didn't want it to evolve by trading, so I remebered that Sneasel just had to hold the item, so seemed perfect to adapt that, and the legend just made
it even more fitting!
And I would love to see that!  
But well, it doesn't have to be right away, if you have the chance someday, I really would like to see that!
