Description Alright! This is my entry for 's b4ck2b4sics Pokemon contest where we needed to create an original Pokemon that captures the traits of the original 1st generation Pokemon.

Immediately I knew I wanted my Pokemon to be bulky, angry-eyed, and colored similarly to the old Pokemon Artwork. I drew several ideas and in the end came up with a Pokemon similar to this. Once drawn on the computer and was constantly changing and modifying its design and colors. The last modification was removing the horn on his head, I was unsure at first, but after consulting my friend, he agreed it should go. It's name was actually a joke at first, and I was going to change it, but in the end I liked it too much and stuck with it.

Name: Bouldadash ( BOL-Da-Dash ) Name is derived from Boulder and Dash and sounds similar to Balderdash
Species: Wrecking Pokemon
Type: Ground/Rock
Height: 4'09"
Weight: 327 lb.
No Data on Evolution Line

This Pokemon dons tremendous armor that is harder than diamond. Despite its heavy and slow appearance it can run incredibly fast, leaving behind ruin and destruction. As it runs it causes small earthquakes that can be felt several miles away.

During mating season, they become extremely aggressive and competitive. There have been numerous cases where males would continue to fight well past the mating season due to its competitiveness and not get the chance to mate at all. Trainers should be wary and keep well out of their territory at these times.

Bouldadash is (C) to Nick-is-Safferion~!!!

Thanks very much.
Indeed, 1st and 2nd were my favorite generations.
Yeah, I hope if there is a next generation they'll try for more classic designs.

can you describe to me the shape of those little protrusions? are they simply like, rock/diamonds? or are they indented? because the black parts kinda looks like it

The black parts are indented, although I should have made them lighter. I guess you can say they're dramatic shadows? I hope that helps, if not I'll try to explain further.

Photoshop actually haha, I kept messing around trying to give it that watercolor look. I wanted to go traditional all the way but my scanner's busted still. Glad you're somewhat impressed, that means quite a lot actually!

Bwahahaha yup, Balderdash means nonsense. I was talking to a friend and we were talking about the Pokemon and at some point I called it Bouldadash as a pun on Balderdash. So I used it for a temporary name until I thought up a better one, but ended up using instead!

I used photoshop on it, I really should make it a habit of putting what I used in the comment box thing.
I really didn't want to use photoshop for this though, I rather had done it traditional, being that the original pokemon artwork were traditional. I would have too, but ever since my scanner busted its ass (that's right, scanners have asses) I haven't been able to scan anything. D:

The shiny version should have a Blue Shell. And learn Explosion. Fly, too, maybe.

That'd be wicked, but flying seems like something he just couldn't do... maybe I'll do a shiny version, and yeah he's probably have a blue shell, well more like a gray-blue-shiny-color. lol
