Description
EDIT: So the English names have been announced.Tsutaja - Snivy
Pokabu - Tepig
Mijumaru - Oshawott
I dunno how I feel about them. How do you even pronounce "Tepig"? I keep thinking it's "teh pig". xD I like Snivy, but what word combo is Oshawott supposed to be?
So the 5th generation is finally upon us! And with a new generation of Pokemon comes a new set of starters, the pictures of which can be found right here: [link]
The grass type is Tsutaja, the fire type is Pokabu and the water type is Mijumaru, but their names will no doubt be Americanized for the US release.
I'll admit that when I first saw them I thought "...WTF is this shit?!" But after looking at them for a while... Actually, I think I still kinda thought the same thing. But it's not like I have anything against the actual DESIGN of it. I love the idea of a fire pig, a grass snake and a sea otter thing. It's just the way they're DRAWN. Especially poor Mijumaru... So much potential for cuteness down the drain!
So I tried to see if I could draw them a bit cuter while still keeping to the original design. Now they have a bit of actual anatomy, and hopefully Mijumaru looks a little better. xD
I'm a fan of the fire pig myself. I hope it evolves into some sort of badass boar!

Oshawatt irritated me, shame really since it's evolutions are really bad ass, course there's something about Snivy I really like.

Oshawatt's second evolution , Dewott , is one of my favorites actually . Samurott is good at battling and all , but his design kinda trails off from his pre-evolutions and that irritates me hah XD;

Yeah, I personally love 5th gen (3rd gen will always be my favorite, though) but the only starter that I really like aesthetically is Snivy.

Ocelot- a dwarf leapord.
mix him with a few feautures of the sea otter, mess with a little bit of coloring,
and there ya go... one of the starters of the gen I greatly dislike.

I was really disappointed when I saw the Starters in the game...
But your painting style made me belief, that there was a good will behind the design... just a poor execution...
Great work on your part

Me: (to Snivy, snickers) Umad?
Snivy: Grrr... If only looks could kill...
Me: (has a "weird irresistible impulse" moment and glomps him)
Snivy: ACK! O-OSHAWOTT!! HELP! GET THIS CRAZY FIRE-LIZARD GIRL OFFA ME!!
Oshawott: HAHA! No way! Not after you made me cry!
Snivy: TEPIG! HELP!
Tepig: Uhhh...No. I'm not gonna get mixed up in this...Besides, I think F charmander X M snivy is a good pairing.
Everyone but Tepig: 0.o (shudder)
Tepig: WHAT?!
Hehe.. sorry, couldn't help but make a story-response...I'm a natural-born writer with chronic writer's block XD

I think Oshawott is supposed to be a play on "ocean water" and "otter", but I could be wrong.
...For some reason I immediately thought "Pumba" upon seeing Tepig, here. They're all oddly adorable~

I was a bit unsure about the new pokemon starters but the more I saw them around the more I got used to them. Snivy's my fave. Always choosen a grass in every game I played save Silver where I choose a fire. Also I believe tepig is supposed to be a rehash of pig and tepid. so like tepid water is slightly warm that applies to tepig cause he is one mean mother in his last stage of emboar.

I mean....I don't mind the 5th generation, but i think they're running out of ideas so they're making general copies of the pokemon that already exist. I admit, some of them are pretty cute, but nothing will ever beat the first few seasons. (aka, ash/misty/brock)

poor Oshawott....all he wants is to be loved while Snivy has to MUCH attention and i mad...thats what i think looking at this picyure....

WOW, your interpretation of the three are way better than the original. One dare the pokemon company mess up such a good show with crappy drawings. still keep up the good work.

I love your drawings. To me they look like what would happen if Disney got a hold of pokemon
