Description EDIT: DOWNLOAD TO SEE THE FULL PICTURE. SORRY I MADE THE FILE SO HUGE.

PROFESSOR TIPSY SPEAKING. THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMICALLY HUGE POKEMON YOU'LL EVER SEE. SOME.

Not to mention, today's a special treat! Rather than covering the overall Pokemon species, this speaks for specific subspecies of Pokemon that really manage to go above and beyond. Beyond the size their Pokedex entries usually describe them as. A bit, at least.

P.S, on the far left, there's 's character Weirda for size comparison. Rounded to about hmmmmmm, 5 feet. 

----

Australian Aggron

Aggron are actually not hard to find in Australia. The reason being for this is because Australia has some of the most iron ore reserves in the world. About 35 billion metric tons if you bother to count. And most of these are inside the large mountains that Aggron guard. All this iron provides a good source of minerals for their offspring to eat. Like many other creatures that eat minerals, they can go a long time without eating any organic material. 

But when they do decide to eat organic material, they're omnivorous, going for both plants and Pokemon alike. Normally, they're considerably more docile than other Aggron species, since they rarely have to compete to get accesss to iron deposits.


Black Oak Torterra

Torterra are classified by the types of tree most likely to grow in their back, which is directly proportional to the kinds of soil that make up its shell. Obviously, Black Oak seems to do the best on this Torterra's back. As a result, they drink just enough water to supply both themselves, and their resident tree, with water.

Many small Pokemon are known to take up resident on this creature's back. For the most part, it's completely oblivious or it doesn't mind their company. Being so big and heavily armored, it has little to worry about in the way of surviving in the wild. As far as it knows, it's generally invincible against most wild predators.

Steppe Mamoswine

These were the most numerous species of Mamoswine. This is because they had the ability to adapt relatively quickly to changes in climate. Be it shedding their fur, or putting on more blubber for long distance travelling, they were able to survive a long time before the end of the Ice Age. There's even authentic evidence that they've survived into the modern age, because unlike mammoths, they're omnivorous.

It's not farfetched to think that they're still alive, because they can eat grass, tree-leaves, carrion, and arthropods. Don't forget that their ancestors are more porcine than pachyderm. Luckily, hunters such as Beartic and Jynx can keep their numbers in check easily.

Cheyenne River Tyrantrum

This specimen in particular is named Sue, one of the most complete and extensive fossils to be found by paleontologists. Aptly named the despot Pokemon because from 100 to 65 million years ago, it was the biggest and strongest terrestrial apex predator of its time. Strong nowadays was unstoppable.

It had one of the strongest bite forces of all Pokemon. How much? 75,000 NEWTONS. Possible MORE. Darn near enough to shred thick, reinforced metal like paper, and WAY more than enough to kill anything it wanted for food. Because there was so little that could compete against it, Tyrantrum was able to do anything it wanted, be it sleep, eat, mate with Pokemon of other egg-groups, or simply entertain itself. Most have yet to learn that modern times are a lot different. 

Bloodshot Gyarados

Gyarados is said to be a sea serpent, but it's actually closley related to the oarfish. It shares anatomical similarities with them, but the two have otherwise become very different. Especially in terms of disposition.

A species of Gyarados that lives in the vicinity of the Kanto region, this is also one of the most aggressive Gyarados species. It's named because when they're about to go berserk, they can flush their fins and side-spots to be a bright, angry red. Another reason they go "bloodshot" is to turn their entire bodies a deep, blood red. This helps them hunt in deep sea waters for the occasional Wailord, or Huntail.

Gyarados who stay red for most of their lives are known as "shiny", and have a worst disposition than normal. However, they're rarer to find, because they mostly live in extremely deep waters.

Iron Island Steelix

First of all, I need to point out that Steelix are NOT SNAKES. They are in fact related to amphisbanians; hard-headed, legless lizards which burrow through the ground, and resemble worms. 

They're not too different from Onix, but only because they've changed so little. All that happens when they evolve is that Onix compress the minerals and metals in their outer skin to become tough as steel. They lose a majority of their previous weaknesses upon adapting a more metallic skin. Which, by the way, is harder than a diamond. Enough to grant it a defense stat of 200. And easily enough to enable it to dig MUCH further underground than Onix can.

Colossal Wailord
This is the biggest Pokemon known so far to ever exist. 

They live in pretty much any ocean you can think of, but the thing they all have in common is that they're found in places where life is abundant. Be it krill, Luvdisc, Magikarp, Basculin...Wailord can easily keep their population in check with mass-feeding. Because they're so huge, sea-birds and people alike have been recorded being accidentally swallowed by this species of Wailord, before being spit out. But only because it didn't see them. 

Colossal Wailord are known to be docile towards human beings once it sees them. They're docile to pretty much anything they don't call food, since they're COMPLETELY immune to predation once they reach full size.

Woooow I have my fanart yaaay and I am again honored to be pictured with the biggest Pokemon, like with Aurorus~!
wow why I have always to look so little? :V my bad luck lol

Ohh c'mon, seriously, I feel you made such an endeavor on drawing my OC- she's like a Durant here XD
why. this is second size of being pictured with amazing Pokemon. eh.

Anyway....the whole research is like delighting my eyes
I love your pretty well done descriptings and reports, it explains a lot

ohhh my. Sue....! dinosaur lovers love you. So I do too

Gyarados as oarfish...what about the mouth? I always seen it as Stomiiformes, because it has whiskers and such "style" of closing jaws.

Steelix~... pardon me, Steelix is one of my favourite Pokemon...
I think you should mention that after Onix evolves, it doesn't change much in anatomy, but outside it changes a lot, also its digging/burrowing style is different thanks
to crystals and large jaw.

"Because they're so huge, sea-birds and people alike have been recorded being accidentally swallowed by this species of Wailord, before being spit out. But only because it didn't see them. " oh my XD crossover time! pinocchio the Nuzleaf swallowed by Wailord

Another fantasting stuff from you

As for the art side, you did pretty designs; I would like to see how you'll improve with shading technique, because as for now it's too flat,especially on Aggron and Wailord
- I know you don't have plenty of brushes, but if you can change size of the brush, please try it- it will be so nice~!

Torterra looks awesome, while Mammoswine...has (I'm sorry!) ugly fur. If I can call it a fur- next time try to avoid making hair/fur tufts- I can tell you from my experience,
just quickly and instinctive brushtrokes will make natural looking fur ^_^ especially on the outline- the most lazy/fast desing can be making no fur inside, but only on outside
with most of hair tufts at places like the back, elbow, the head; try if you want- but if you prefer this style, I am not in your way just an advice

What's with Tyrantrum beard? is it made from feathers? or rocks, like the rest of the head? (by the way, I feel stupid I've never thought of feathers on tail tip )

Steelix drawing is.... eeeeeee~!
I leave it before it will eat me.

And better run fast, before Wailord will swallow me by accident I don't want to make research from the inside...no. I'm not going that far with my research.

You know I kinda thought about Gyarados being something like a Deep Sea Dragonfish, but I kinda figured that oarfish were commonly mistaken for sea serpents, and that with a few touches, it could look like an oarfish. So, I kinda wanted to bring an oar-fishy vibe, at least for this subspecies.

Also, I'm kinda wondering how to improve shading, since it does look pretty flat now that i think about it. I think I'll do that, have a bit of experimentation rounds after looking at some tutorials.

I was kinda afraid of that...I know that fur does NOT look good at all. I generally have a hard time doing fluffy things, and for a while I did do the lazy, half-assed kind of tuft fur. Just until I realized that wasn't gonna work out forever. I'm gonna do some experimenting on fur too!

And about Tyrantrum's beard...I looked at Arvalis's depiction of Tyrantrum and noticed he depicted the beard as an inflatable chin sac. I think it's genius, and I tried putting that on. Although in general, I REALLY need to work on my textures. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR REVIEW!! Now I know where I can continue to improve!

wow~ *O* that's a great thought around Gyarados, I must admitt!

Hmmm...since many Pokemon are like mix of different creatures...I think that both would be the best for Gyarados redesign
(more thinking for myself, no, your Gyarados is all right!)

no worries, man. I also wasn't so great at the beginning. Not to mention, more I leaved unfinished or even not started than finish something.
Or. Anything.

Ah. I see. Seems I have to find time and working brain to dig into his latest works, because he does as detailed and fullfilled drawings as description.
Textures are something less important. To save time, it's good to nail or master outlining style that will tell as well as texture/shading what's with the creature

You're welcome...but I feel awkward I did it sooo lately..but better than never

I have a question regarding the organisms of the Pokemon world: Is there be any possibility that other non-human people can exist? If the Pokemon series can use Fairy magic, then other sentient, non-human species should exist as well. I don't see why it can't work.

TipsyRa1d3n In reply to IntegerMova [2014-05-11 04:12:51 +0000 UTC]

Well, in a sense they kinda do.

Y'know Jynx? It's actually a hominid that evolved right alongside humans, that had SOMEHOW managed to make it into the present day long after the Neanderthals died off! They're intelligent enough to count as sentient, even though we battle with them.

Gardevoir? Another type of hominid! One that lost its reproductive organisms resembling a hominid's over time, but still very much like human beings in terms of skeletal and muscular anatomy. 

Mr. Mime. Medicham. Conkeldurr. Machamp. These Pokemon are non-human in the sense that they're only SOMEWHAT related to human beings genetically, yet they're different species altogether.

You've also got Gothitelle and Beheeyem, who left the planet long ago, but returned as something that resembles a human, but isn't.

At least I THINK That's what yer asking.

I'm not referring to actual Pokemon, but other types of enigmatic people that could live in the Pokemon world. I am, however, referring to those that can train Pokemon, but are not Pokemon themselves, and as such are not part of the Pokedex.

I envision there to be some sort of other races of people, such as wolf-people, cat-people, bird men, merfolk, elves, and even dragon men. They might be able to breed with Human-Like egg group Pokemon, but I'm not even sure if actual humans are able to do so.

TipsyRa1d3n In reply to IntegerMova [2014-05-11 04:41:33 +0000 UTC]

You know, now that you mention it, that's probably even MORE of a possibility.

Maybe they could have once been counted as Pokemon species, but have gained so many animal-like qualities that they've lost the need to have Pokemon qualities. Making them not Pokemon or animals, but that something in between.

I.e. a race of wolf people that could have once had something in common with Lucario, but lost it altogether as they evolved more animal-like qualities. I.e. no superpowers, but a heightened ability to feed, reproduce, and develop sentience.

I think in the Pokemon world, non-Pokemon dragons could definitely be a possibility. After all, they ARE practically a clade of highly developed archosaurs. Albeit they're so biologically developed that there's littel difference betwen a Pokemon and non-Pokemon dragon.

I thought about non-Pokemon dragons for the night, and realized that would actually be pretty cool. They shouldn't breathe fire, though, since they aren't Pokemon. I'm pretty sure these dragons wouldn't be sentient, though, since the dragon men I was referring to were once more related to humans.

Would domestic dogs exist in this world? Pokemon seem to outclass them as companions, so I'm not entirely sure.

TipsyRa1d3n In reply to IntegerMova [2014-05-12 02:30:38 +0000 UTC]

On the subject of domestic dogs, that's a question that has a lot of variable answers. I'd imagine that while they're not QUITE as good as Pokemon in terms of companionship, they're relatively easy to tame and train. Also, when compared to Pokemon, dogs are considerably less destructive. Enough to be kept on a leash by people.

But in the Pokemon world, dogs might have ONCE been the top choice of companion, what with so many Pokemon being way stronger than people. But with the increasing number of people able to tame and train Pokemon, dogs are say...going out of style? I THINK.

IntegerMova In reply to TipsyRa1d3n [2014-05-12 03:32:44 +0000 UTC]

I wonder if that also applies to house cats. They might already have gone out of style by now, since they're not really loyal like dogs or Pokemon. Are there any Pokemon that get along well with non-Pokemon pets?

One thing I don't get about this world's reincarnation is how a human, which is not a Pokemon, can become something like Gastly, Honedge, or Pumpkaboo in their afterlife.

What about bird men? They could be distantly related to Hawlucha, who may also be a Human-Like bird. They could be represented with eagle, hawk, owl, and phoenix variants.

(It's not really a popular idea in the fandom, although I know someone on here who is using the "multiple races" for some of his fangames.)

TipsyRa1d3n In reply to IntegerMova [2014-05-12 02:26:16 +0000 UTC]

Now that I think about it, it'd be pretty plausible to imagine a sentient bird-person existing. Albeit one VERY important factor they'd have is a huge heart, to pump blood to the whole rest of their bodies AND their brains at the same time. Meaning they'd probably have relatively short lives.

You know it's kind of weird to imagine a bird-person or an elf existing in the Pokemon Universe. But that's prolly because a lot of Pokemon are essentially our Earth's mythical creatures dialed Up to Eleven.
