Description Entry for ~mistieredpanda 's contest. The goal was to design a "missing link" between two existing pokemon. Acopteryx (Archaeopteryx+copter) is the link between the Treecko and Spearow families. Typing is Flying/Grass. It's single stage. I was inspired to do this by the way Grovyle looks.

great to see a pokΓ©mon honouring one of the most famous transition species. nice original pokΓ©mon man. to me 'fakemon' sounds kinda unflattering since a lot of them are rly good ideas XD

I'm glad you like it! I guess I see what you mean about the word 'fakemon,' but to tell the truth it doesn't really bother me XP
Thanks for the fav!

Did you base this off of the microraptor? I just watched a show about it. It is a four-winged dinosaur that some people believe is the missing link between dinosaurs and birds. Cool design by the way .

Nope. its a dinosaur that they discovered a bit ago in China or something. Archeopteryx only have the usual two sets of wings. And youre very welcome .

Oh well I blame Google, I did an image search for Archeopteryx and I did see different kinds of forms but this was my favorite. Miniraptor it is, but unless you have another name idea, I'm sticking with this one.

No the name is great. I just thought it was cool because I just watched a show about Microraptor and then I saw this which reminds me so much of it. The cool thing about Pokemon is that you have some room for interpretation. Crobat has four wings and is based on a bat even though no species of bat has four wings.

True enough. By the way, I really miss seeing your Fakemon, and I was looking forward to seeing the Tentacruel evolution. If you need any help with anything, feel free to let me know.

I could just use more time. Time and inspiration . School this year is taking a major toll on me. When school ends at the end of this month I should start releasing more Pokemon more quickly. Sorry to make you wait.

You're apologizing to me? No reason for that, I was just worried about you and wondered if there was any way I could help.

"Missing Link Pokemon"
I like that

Reminds me of Aerodactyl, fact that its single stage

And its nice to see a different perspective than sideways
I can see your gettin' better!

I really appreciate the praise, I have been trying to get some different perspectives in there, but it would have been hard to show this one from another perspective than this and keep the detail, even if it had been in an action pose.
