People really need to stop ragging on you and telling you a bunch of **** you've already heardbefore, it really makes me angry. >_> Guys, really, when the same crit gets said over and over again for PAGES it's no longer helping. It's just kinda mean.
And despite what they are all saying, some of these are very orginal and VERY well designed. A few are probably a little too close to official ones, but you have shown major improvement and some of your newer ones are amazing!
I ADORE Twurphur, Mantill, Halungus, Amulob, and Spluddle. The designs are inventive, original, and well-drawn. Your art is very high-quality.
My only real complaint is that it feels like you are afraid or reluctant to try new color designs or add small details.
I seriously just want to take a paintbrush and put spots on Spluddle's back. Or dip his feet/hands with color. Or add stripes to his tail, or the fin on his back.
You said your reason for not wanting to add more detail is to not make your sprites have too much detail and stop looking like pokemon; I think that if you make your fakes more busy they will look a lot MORE like pokemon.
Look at some of the official pokes, they can be extremely busy with lots of stuff all over them. Empoleon, Infernape, Garchomp, and Seviper are good examples. Try and be a little more experimental with color, too, I'm not fond of the plain brown on your dinos/dogs.
I love your stuff, I really do. But why not try and be a little more experimental?
btw, Twurphur is pretty much my favorite fakemon ever. oxo I'm also tempted to do fanart of Spluddle, he's so darn cute <3
