Do we have HQs of the Sugimori art yet?

http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sugimori_art_of_Generation_V_Pokémon_revealed

The only that are still missing are: Daruma mode Hihidaruma, Meloetta, Kerudio and Genosect.

Does anybody have any ideas for the ninja/knight bugs' names?
I'm thinking Chobomaki --> Shellmet and that Shubarugo --> Chevargot (why mess with what's good?).
I've got nothing for the ninja's, though. :X

They're not. They're about half of the quality of most of the ones we already had, but hey--at least we have them, right?

This is the best I can find, however Mebukijika's alternative forms and Morobareru are a little miscolored.

EDIT: It seems they now have artwotk of Mebukijika and Morobareru in their true colors.

Mebukijika looks as awesome as ever in all of it's artwork. Speaking of Mebukijika though, I saw that update on the Alternate Formes page and I saw it's Dream World artwork. I think it makes Mebukijika look cooler, sort of like it's the fashionista of the Pokemon World. The Dream World artwork really is vivid. That's not to say I don't like the Ken Sugimori artwork though. Sure, that artwork that was posted on that site isn't exactly high-quality stuff and it wasn't properly extraced since you can see white around the edges, but we still get to see some cool Pokemon so there's no problem there. At least we have artwork.

And a real favorite, Scorchog! (I can really see that name in the game too)

Not to forget that Sylver (Creatopr of these) has made things that should've been in B/w. >_> But that is my opinion, Scorchog > Emboar

 

[Oshakpop]

GUYS! Within hours we will know the English names of the starters!!! FINALLY! I tried my hardest not to keep there names in my head, but alas!!! Lets hope there easy to remember! (What am I saying ofcourse they will be?)

 

[R_N]

Oh man I can hardly wait for the moaning and complaining and how NoA are the worst and should have used these clearly superior names

 

[Epwna is a Sceptile]

I can't wait for the English names to be revealed, though I hope Pokabu is named Flarrow(Flare+Farrow(young pig)). Best name I can think of for it.

 

[turtwig217]

I honestly usually end up liking whatever names they end up being, and even if they seem weird at first, they're easy to get used to.

 

[Gaiash]

I hated the name Turtwig for quite a while so I'm sure I'll get used to Tsutaja's English name not being Smugleaf (I'll probably still call it that).

Oh, I already saw those, they're not HQ.

Thanks anyways ^-^

 

[Slowemperor]

Get yourselves ready! A new battle is about to begun! Chronical complainers are readying their nostalgia googles and flamethrowers, serious critics are arming up their expectations and witty comments and chronical lovers are readying their diabetic love for the new names...

Whatever names come I'll get used to them. I don't care much about names as long as I know how to say and spell them.

 

[Dracoste]

We all get used to them, eventually. Its easier to know the English names so soon, so we don't have trouble reckonizing a Pokémon's name if someone forgot an "i" or an "o".

Oh, I already saw those, they're not HQ.

Hehehe. That's as HQ you can get them ATM(I haven't seen them yet in a higher quality) But we must be happy that we can see Pokémon in their Sugimari art.

*Gets nostalgia goggles and flamethrower ready*

Seriously though, whatever the English names for Tsutarja, Pokabu, and Mijumaru may be, they can't be all that bad. I'm expecting puns galore of course, but I don't think they'll be as bad as some of the previous ones. I few people accurately predicted some of the English names for 4th Generation Pokemon so I'm going to wait and see if anyone managed to guess the English names for Tsutarja, Pokabu, and Mijumaru. Watch them gloat about it for years to come :3

 

[Silver Totodile]

The English names? Don't think they will bother me that much; I always seem to either like them or just don't really mind. Don't think i'll ever get used to knowing Mijumaru as anything other than Mijumaru.

Also I doubt i'll ever call mamepato by its english name when it's released. I like it too much.

It's true once you get a name in your head the english name doesn't sound AS good. Like in my PMD3 i named my Mudkip Miju.

It'll tough to switch ...

 

[Dracoste]

It also could be possible that some keep their Japanese names(or with a some minor differences). I actually hope they keep Tsutarja's name, it sounds nice.

Or how they didn't use the ridiculous name Smugleaf.

I really don't get why some people get mad over the English names. They're easier to pronounce than the Japanese names, and you can actually understand the puns used in their names as opposed to Japanese where you can only understand most of them if you knew Japanese.

Starja doesn't meet nearly enough pun quotients for my liking
