I love what you did for the Scapicorn line! But no matter how I look at it, Scapicorn looks like an evil eevee. A "Dark Eevee" you could say, perhaps an anti-Eevee. Or no.......an Eeveell!!! XD Most of that was just to set-up the joke, but I do like it and it does look like a Dark Eevee(sort of like Dark Link), so maybe it's a Shadow Eevee from a mirror dimension where instead of many evolutions to make it two-stage, it has only one possibility that uses level-up evolution and has 3 stages. And instead of a fox, it's a goat(?). I know that isn't your intention, but think about how much sense it makes! It's a product of Flareon The False Prophet!! XD
Sorry if these are out-of-order and I'm not commenting on every evolution line, but I'd like to say that the Berrini line is interesting, but I don't like their design. Just personal preference, I assure you there is nothing wrong with them that I see right away. Anyway, I DO like how cute and clever Berrinni itself is though.
I love your ideas for the Selkid line too. Turning the mythology around a bit is a nice touch. But the last sentence or two in the description for Sailee is a bit vague in a sense. I'm not sure if by "..., but will always return to a trainer they truly love." means that if it is an average trainer whom it can simply get along well with, it won't return to them since it didn't care for them deeply enough. Like being friendzoned but that means you never see them again after they tell you. I don't want you to change any of it, just tell me if that is indeed the case or "truly loves" actually means "doesn't dislike". As I've expressed, there is a big difference and the implications are easy to misunderstand potentially. Also, nice idea for how to catch Selkid!

Thank ya so much dude!!
Truth be told, I think the Scapiron line was one of our more creative ideas when working on the Elbion Pokedex with my two other friends. OKIEDOKE, so it does kind of look like an Eevee, and funnily enough I never noticed that until recently! Although that strangely makes sense. XD
Meanwhile no worries dude! I mean I personally did have a bit of difficulty designing the Berrini line, so I figured it was gonna be a bit too weird-looking for some people. Really, I think I like the concept more than the final design.
In the case of Selkid, thank ya very much! I think in-game the way to get a Selkid to join the party would be by picking up its skin which is a hidden item, and then giving it back to the Selkid who lost it. And then bam, either added to your party or PC!
Although I figure, they most likely suppose that trainers who'd get along well with it are a dime-a-dozen. At that point it'd probably figure it'd lead a more fulfilling life out at sea with others of its kind. But for those whom take time to really bond with it, then they realize that there are things worth staying on land for!

You know you do bring up a really good point. I mean I based a lot of this off of legends of real Selkies. How if you find the skin of a Selkie, it'll become your wife, but if it ever reclaims its skin, it goes straight back to the ocean with its other brethren.
I guess it's another case of Gameplay Vs Story Segregation, because this Pokemon probably wouldn't run away if it was actually in-game. Because heck, Pokemon in-game don't abandon their trainers.
Not to mention, in terms of its characterization, it seems to be the kind of Pokemon which is distinctly Fairy-like in nature, in that aside from being a mischief maker, it's the kind of being which truly belongs somewhere outside of human civilization. So I just thought it'd be in their nature to say "Yeah, you were nice and all, but my folks are waiting for me out there!"
Of course, that's just THEIR logic. Granted, neither of us agree with this train of thought, because Pokemon abandoning their trainers on a whim is just as bad as the other way around.

Say! In that case, do you suppose the better idea in this case would be this:
The PokΓ©mon doesn't abandon it's trainer. But they will become terribly homesick and ask to come home, even if just for a little bit. Ironically, the one way to ensure they will come back is to let them go in the first place.

Excuse me, Tipsy, but do you mind if you did a 10 thematic Pokemon picture themed on Obscure yokai? Here is the list.
Tsuntaro (Horned Boy): resembles a bearded demon with a horn on top of its head. It is good at changing into Mochi and Anpan bread. When people try to eat it, it changes into its true form and runs away. Sometimes it is eaten by someone, which frustrates it very much.
Tetsubin-kajiri (Iron Kettle Biter): resembles a spherical yokai with a beard and mustache wearing a headband. This yokai likes hardware, especially caustic casting products. It targets kettles and wind chimes, and if there is a kettle with holes in it, it must be a Tetsubin-kajiri's work.
Nokuchibiru (Field Lips): A big, round creature with huge lips. She wants to pierce her mouth, but she has no money, so she looks for gold in abandoned fields. When she sees a person, she runs away, embarrased.
(Male Counterpart of Nokuchibiru) Waraiguchi (Laughing Mouth): A yokai who is Nokuchibiru's husband. Unlike her, he appears in front of people and wants to hear funny stories. He gives people money in gratitude for making him laugh.
Kabura-daijin a.k.a. Kabura-no-otodo (Turnip Minister): A turnip-headed yokai. During the Heian period, a person appointed to be a minister was assassinated in a power struggle. Since he was killed in a turnip field, his regret possessed a turnip and brought it to life. When there is a bad politician, he appears to correct him.
Benitoro (Crimson Mantis): A mantis-like yokai. When a female mantis is killed while laying her eggs, she becomes reddish from a grudge and eats people from the head.
Nokinatto (Eaves Natto): This bagworm-like yokai hangs from the eaves of houses, dropping natto from its belly. When found, it falls down and disappears. The smell won't go away, even after 3 days.
Kana-ude (Golden Fist): A yokai resembling a golden humanoid with one horn that lives in gold mines, such as Sado Gold Mine and Izu's Toi Kinzan gold mine. When there is water lingering in mines, or when there is a cave-in, it informs people with a loud voice in advance, and when everyone is evacuated, the water overflows and cave-ins will happen. It is a mine guardian.
Makizappo (Firewood Blur): When walking on the mountain road in Kagawa prefecture, there is something that takes up firewood, comes up from behind people, and beats them. If you see it and say, "Respectable, Respectable", you will not be beaten. The identity of the striker is a stump.
Ryu-damashi (Cheating Dragon): People at shrines where Ryujin is settled and give offerings mistake this yokai for Ryujin and bring gifts to it so that it can grant wishes. Because it doesn't have those powers, it disappears after drinking and eating.
Ryu-modoki (Pesudo Dragon): This yokai resembles Ryu-damashi, but has its own ability requested from the real Ryujin. It lives at watersides of each place, administering water and watching over the safety of people. There are a lot of stories and old legends in which Ryujin appears, but such stories usually relate to Ryu-modoki.

Thank ya so much dude!! And actually now that you gave me the idea...
Now that I'm coloring these guys in, I'm totally giving it a cutie mark. And it could be that same Skull-and-crossbones pattern on Koffing. XD
