Description
Grookey, the Chimp Pokémon

- Mostly unchanged, just minimal design tweaks to make it cuter.

[From Thwackey] Barverso, the Apprentice Pokémon
Name etymology: Traverso (old kind of flute), Barbary (macaque), Bard, Verse.

- I wanted the line to resemble Barbary Macaques, trolls and flute players, and Barverso starts to show those traits more. The log it carries is a replica of Maestrimoss flute, using the trope of an apprentice using a fake replica of the weapon they'll receive once they complete their training.
- Barverso would be the main workers of the colony, doing most tasks from assigning Grookey their sticks, to foraging and babysitting, hence the sticks.

[From Rillaboom] Maestrimoss, the Tune Pokémon
Etymology: Maestro, Trill (of a flute), Moss, Troll.
Now Grass/Fairy

- Instead of a Rock n Roll drummer, I decided to go more mythical and go for a flute master, incorporating troll aspects, such as the moss coat, to give it fairy type vibes.
- Their flutes are carved by hand once they evolve, and each creates a sound distinct from other Maestrimoss' flutes. They can control the forest itself when playing.
- While Barverso are the main workers, Maestrimoss are the main leaders, guiding and protecting their group from any outside threats. They may look soft, but they are both skilled and strong, and can either control the woods agaisnt you or attack you directly with their sturdy log if you threaten their group.
