Pokabu, the fire type starter for Pokemon Black/White. I really don't like these starters, but I'm hoping that by drawing one of them they'll grow on me.
I tried to make him look a little different.
The grass type one is by far the best looking, but I've gone with the fire-type every single time previously, so I'm gonna continue that trend.

And here's hoping for some kind of epic, hardcore, badass evolution line. Please.

I actually really like Pokabu AND his evolutions, and i don't really like the other starters that much.
But, i will say Tepig is a really stupid name. Pokabu was much better.

this looks awesome...unlike it's evolutions. This is the first time EVER i think I'm going to use a grass starter or a water starter.

Don't look up their evolutions. It's just depressing.

And you're free to think that! I just don't like them as much as others.
(My opinion's also changed since this comment-The tepig evos are pretty cool.)

Love your take on Pokabu!
I didn't like any of the new starters at first, but there's a lot of great art of them around, and they kinda grew on me, especially this one.
I like that you made it more agile, it looks like a fighter now!

A very awesome rendition! You could probably make the worst Pokemon look great, not that we would consider any of them ugly.

Technically speaking, he would be number 497 in the natonal dex and number 4 in the Isshu dex. But he does look good

emovampiregirl1 [2010-05-17 21:35:57 +0000 UTC]

Awesome, i didn't really like the starters either, but this really makes him look coolio. I drew Pokabu (soon to be released in my deviant) and have liked him much more than i ever previously did. I like the grass one the best

i'm hoping that pokabu will evolve into some sort of dark/fire pirate boar. its ears sort of remind me of a bandana...

Very nice, I gotta learn to start drawing like this... (College for this kind of stuff) Hey, do you mind if I use this image in a signature sometime (may not but just wanted to check if it was okay with you).

Sure, I don't mind at all, it's nice to get my work out there, as long as you don't claim it. But I'm sure you wouldn't seeing as though you're decent enough to ask.

moxie2D In reply to Iguana-in-Darkness [2010-05-16 05:56:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it's fairly safe to assume it's #497, but before we have confirmation I'm gonna leave it the way it is, just incase we get a suprise or something.
Thanks

HattTrick [2010-05-15 22:44:28 +0000 UTC]

I know it's a very minute detail, but I really like how you added the palette in on the bottom right there. Subtle, but definitely gives a statement of style.

moxie2D In reply to HattTrick [2010-05-16 07:49:33 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, I needed something to fill up that space, and I figured adding a base palette should work well. Thanks for noticing

Chasethebase [2010-05-15 19:45:52 +0000 UTC]

Awesome drawing, and as the numbers stand Mijumaru will be #500 (Considering Arceus is #493, makes the grass starter #494, Pokabu #497).

Too many.

moxie2D In reply to Chasethebase [2010-05-16 06:28:03 +0000 UTC]

Haha yeah there's heaps. I'm going to wait until we have concrete evidence that those numbers are right, just in case. Thanks though
