Lol! I has- er, had - 99 deviations to look at, and (because who can blame me) I have a brief look at the thumbnails and 'X' away - but I saw this, under "poke-fanclub", and lo-and-behold, I didn't x it, because I liked the look of it, and whaddya know, here I am. Funny how small the world is.
But anywho, I like it lots! Simplistic, and the composition is nice. (Could do with some depth, perhaps?) It suits yours style - the only thing I don't like, is how the lines come together rather shoddily - but that's obviously a fault with the program and brushes, and not your problem at all. And the varying line thickness is good - but equally, that might just be the brush. So, it's good, very good.
Although, my favourite is still your 'nauts stuff - it matches your style so amazingly perfectly! And looks proffesional to boot, as well as impressive!

Lol 99. I x thumbnails whether I have 99 or 9 >_< Meh, it's not bad, similarly took me about 10 minuites to make like the Shaymin. I just like it more. And actually, the shoddy lines were my problem, I was just being...impressionistic? Well, I just wasn't trying to make a solid outline, but it looks a bit pants. And yeah, I tried to alter the line thickness using pressure; someplaces it worked, others...not so well :/
And you really like my 'nauts artwork? Realleh? Because, well, I don't feel the artwork has any personal charm. Most of it is based purely on the Scribblenauts artstyle. The only thing I can lend to it are facial expressions and composition -_- I actually fear by the end of it, I won't be able to draw anything BUT 'nauts-style stuff, replacing my existing style. Although I do feel the style itself is quite charming, it just, again, doesn't feel too personal.

Well, I can see it takes a lot from the Scribblenauts - but it's still undoubtedly yours. And the little extras - like the paper, 2D border around each part - really make it shine. Granted, I suppose that kind of thing doesn't come naturally. But I guess, when it comes to something like flattening and layering different parts, that's a technique more than a style, so I guess it wouldn't be personal.
And don't forget to be consistent! Like... in that big title page you did, all the pokemon were stylised somewhat - lapras and such. Don't forget to do that to some extent to every other pokemon, otherwise by the time you get to the end of it you'll be off on a tangent.

Sure, it's undoubtebly mine, heh, I mean, Scribblenauts was made up of really crude sprites after all; hardly art. And the papery stuff is a nice touch...but obviously inspired by the boxart and taken up a notch. Obviously I can be more personal when designing the PokΓ©nauts because, as you said, I should keep them stylised. I couldn't really do it that well with any of the PokΓ©mon so far; Pidgey was difficult to draw differently. But Scribblenauts has every creature constructed from pins and interlocking pivotal parts like machines; it's fun to draw things like that such as the Lapras. Should be interesting.
