Description
I beat my White a couple of days ago. I must say I love that game. Personally I think it's one of the best Pokemon games out there. Those who don't like the new generation and refuse to give it a try, I think you should try it anyway, you migth be surprised. When I started the game there were a lot of pokemon I didn't even sneeze at but now many of them are suprisingly nice.Especially the ones in my awesome team!
This is the team I beat the E4 with.
Sarosh (Samurott) - male - I picked Oshawott as my starter and I never regretted it. Sarosh hits hard although he isn't the fastest. However, he has never let me down and I can always count on him.
Castor (Zebstrika) - male - Holy. Shit. What can I say? Castor is one of my most reliable - if not the most reliable - battler. He's damn fast and his electric attacks always hit the target with a massive amount of damage. When Castor was still a Blitzle I wondered if he was really worth raising - and then he evolved. Castor has definitely proven himself and deserves the spot in the team.
Arathorn (Haxorus) - male - Originally I caught an Axew because I wanted a dragon type until I caught a Deino. However, Arathorn never left the team. His massive attack stat and awesome moves quaranteed the spot in the team. I really like Haxorus and Arathorn is one top Pokemon.
Pandora (Carracosta) - female - I got Pandora accidentally. I intended on getting an Archen because he could learn Fly but I kept pressing A until I got the other fossil. I hadn't saved for a while so I though I'd just settle with that. I planned to box the Tirtouga I received but when I was Pandora the first time I completely fell in love. Tirtouga is one of the most adorable pokemon there is! (sea turtles ftw!) So Pandora stayed. I really, really love her and her huge physical power.
Astaroth (Volcarona) - male - Now this is the pokemon I wanted to have since the first time I saw the sprite. Volcarona is inevitably one of the coolest, most beautiful and most awesome pokemon there is. Astaroth (I spent half an hour trying to figure out a name for him) was awesome when he hatched from his egg. Even as a Larvesta he was very powerful - and so cute as well! When Astaroth finally evolved I was so happy, I finally had my very own Volcarona! Astaroth's Special Attack needs to be praised, it's monstrous. Not only is Astaroth one of the coolest pokemon he is also one of the strongest pokemon I've known. I love him.
And the last but not the least
Shiegtur (Hydreigon) - male - Training Shiegtur was a real pain in the ass. Deino was, to put it simple, useless. Luckily Audino prowide great exp. ridiculously easily and Shiegtur grew up fast. He was fully evolved when I challenged the E4 and I think he could've taken them all by himself if I let him to. Ghestis was a joke, he didn't stand a chance. It took me some time to realize that those two other heads are actually Hydreigon's hands. The degisn is still cool and the type, oh, the type, is the definition to awesome. Dark/dragon. Oh love. Shiegtur is awesome. He's still stronger than anyone else although I've trained them all. If nothing goes as planned, he's always there to help me out, I can always trust him.
There, my lovely team! I though they deserved a proper picture, they're all so awesome.
I'm currently grinding for Cynthia. I got a heart attack when I was randomly barging in people's houses and ran into her. Luckily I didn't have to battle her right away, and now I'm avoiding that house until my pokemon are strong enough.
Just you wait, bitch, you're going down very soon!
Oh, and tell me if the picture is too dark. Laptop screen really isn't ideal for adjusting contrasts.

Thank you! :>
Axew indeed is hard to find unless you know where to look. It was some mountain, I think it was the same one that has Cobalion.
Anyway, that sounds like a nice team. I haven't even found a Tynamo for my pokedex...
Carracosta is pretty boss indeed. it's typing is pertty neat and with Shell Smash it'll be a beast, I can tell you. Also, it's a sea turtle.

Yeah, Tynamo is at the bottom of the electric cave. you have to walk a round a little, he's some what a ass to find.

I totally second that! I haven't tried to use Hydreigon with a Coice Scarf in a rotation battle but I can imagine the awesomeness.

I feel left out. I started with Snivy while /everyone/ I know picked Oshawott. @_@ Don't get me wrong, I love Oshawott and its evos but I like snivy and its evos just a little bit more. That aside, this is absolutely amazing. I really like your team, Volcarona, Hydreigon, Zebstrika, and Samurott especially. And I like the custom design of your trainer, too.
Your style of drawing 'mon really makes them all look so badass and quite eyecatching. I love how you made Zebstrika look like an actual zebra while still retaining some of the physical qualities that show its typing, and I absolutely love how you did your Hydreigon's wings and the fur around its main head. Just amazing. I love how they're all giving off a 'don't mess with us' vibe and I wish you the best of luck with Cynthia.
Okay, why the hell am I not watching you yet? I don't mind if you don't watch in return, my art's nowhere as good as this and I don't have much up at the moment. In regards to what you said in the artist's comments of another of one of your submissions, I would absolutely love, love, LOVE to see Mienshao drawn in your style.

ShadeofShinon In reply to TheDarkWings [2011-06-08 16:58:10 +0000 UTC]
Sorry for taking so long to reply! D: Sometimes I just forget to reply to comments and more comments keep piling up on them.
I had hard time choosing between Snivy and Oshawott. I bought both versions just so that I could pick both of them without erasing the save file. ^^' Serperior is really cool,too , I can't wait to have one (I still haven't started my Black ).
Anyway, thank you so much for the long, nice and in-depth comment! I really appreciate such comments.
As for Cynthia, that battle went way better than expected. My team was seriously underleveled but my Volcarona took Cynthia down almost all by himself. Quiver Dance is a wonderful move.
I've drawn Mienshao a couple of time but I haven't drawn a proper picture of it yet. I've started to love that Pokemon very much even though I still haven't used one myself. I'll definitely draw a proper picture of a Mienshao one day! :>

TheDarkWings In reply to ShadeofShinon [2011-06-08 22:18:23 +0000 UTC]
It's okay about that, and I accidentally swept you when I was pruning out my friends list, crap. I'll go readd you after I reply to this. x_x
I did, too! I solved the dilemma with my best friend since she got White and I got Black, I'd pick Snivy and she'd pick Oshawott and we'd breed them and trade babies to each other. But, then my Wi-Fi died and I haven't been able to find a replacement (my best friend lives in the UK). >_< Snivy is a challenge to use since it's kind of delicate and can't take too many hard hits. It took me three tries to beat Chili because I absolutely refused to use Panpour because of how much I can't stand it. >_>
Hehe, you're welcome, and again, I'm sorry my own art isn't that great. I always try to give in-depth comments on art I like and when I can think of what to say. Wow, great job beating Cynthia, that goes to show just how awesome Volcarona is! I still need to finish raising both of mine since I haven't played Black in forever. @_@
Mienshao is an awesome Fighting-type, I've got a female named Melanie, and I absolutely adore her. They're pretty much a glass cannon 'mon (hit hard, but can't take too many hard hits) but if they have the Regenerator ability and U-Turn, with a few switches in and out, they can stay in the battle for a while. Awesome, I look forward to it! And I rambled again, apologies, you don't have to reply to this if you don't want to. ^_^;

Wow. I just recently beat Ghestis myself, and it was quite a fierce battle for me. If you had a Haxorus and Hydreigon on your team by the time the credits rolled, then -- well, you were just overlevelled. My team was still hovering around the Lv.49-51 range.
Maybe I should do a group shot of my winning team sometime.

ShadeofShinon In reply to Stratadrake [2011-04-15 21:44:29 +0000 UTC]
Umm, not really. My team was lvl 52 (except for my Hydreigon and Volcarona because I wanted them to be evolved in the E4). But ywah, they were overlevelled.
Group shots of people's teams are always nice. :>

Absolute love! It makes me want to create several pictures, each for the regions teams I fell in love with. As for your team, there isnt a single one I would scoff at. Especially Samurott. The moment I saw the new starters I decided he was my favorite, and coincidentally is my favorite starter out of all generations. Although none compare to Arcanine, the new pokemon have a place in my pokedex for sure. And wow- this picture shows power and still retains a slight comic style. Bravo, defenitley a win!

I fell in love with Samurott the first time I saw him, too. I like Serperior, too, but there's just something more awesome about Samurott. Although my all-time favourite starter is and will always be Typhlosion.

I have Volcarona, Haxorus, and Carracosta too. Haxorus is love. Hydreigon's awesome too, but I spent too much time training a Braviary to bother, lol.
At any rate... this has to be the most awesome realistic(ish)-style pokemon drawing I've seen...all of these pokemon were badass to begin with, but you make them look like... gods, or something. Your style is amazing.

ShadeofShinon In reply to SarurunKamui [2011-04-15 20:05:03 +0000 UTC]
Haxorus is awesome but I like Hydreigon better because they don't only sweep everything but also take hits better. :> Originally I planned to train a Braviary, too, but I didn't.
Anyway, thank you very much! I'm so glad to hear you like it.

Hmm, to describe this. I'd start with epic and end with awesome! Great revamps, and the colouring seems so nice! Especially on Volcarona's wings. Love the Carracosta, definitely going to pick that one as well with my White game (Damn, now I got the HG Nuzlocke, Platinum and White to finish xD, combined with my studies!) Keep up the awesome work, and good luck with Cynthia!
