CloseWell I haven't finished the demo yet, but I like what I've seen so far, it's been rather amusing so far. I can't think of any good feedback at the moment, though its a shame that this community project got so much flak from one review. Personally I like the designs of all the pokemon you've guys created the fact the someone decided to be offended by Afropup seems silly to me I like the little guy and went out of my way to catch one. Any way keep up the good work Ratty and everyone else involved in this.

Just checking in after years of being away. I just want to say that this project is freakin' amazing, and I can't emphasize how impressive the whole project is. The new ideas you bring up seem pretty cool.
As for Afropup's reception...yesh. Yeah, I guess if I look at it a certain way, I can see what people are getting at. I honestly just thought a disco based pokemon would be great, and I like dogs so I thought mixing the two ideas...obivously, that didn't end up well.
I think incoperating the yellowish-brown idea is best. It looks barkish, which fits the line being grass-based, and would should the true intent of the Pokemon.
P.S. Pink Shiny is the most fabulous of the shinies.
Great to see you back! Sorry that your submission seems to be the subject of a lot of controversy.
I'll keep your input in mind as I select a finalized color scheme for this guy.

Well, yeah, those were recolouring the shinies. >.>
My take on the default colours are on the first page. :/

Although the other Afropup colors are cute, I think the main one should definitely be green. We all know it's a grass type, but new players will need something to go off of, and nobody would see a pink afro for the first time and think "cherry blossoms!"
I was also thinking that "dyed" or seasonal Afropups could be a triple triad reward and you can work/play towards a certain color you like. I know this is all just Afropup stuff and that shouldn't be a huge focus. just throwing ideas out there for it. Because beyond the controversy called to it I think all these re colors are cool and would fit into the pokemon theme for the crazy diffrrent pokemon like evee or Deerling. But I understand the extra work it would require and you probably dont want to exactly put more attention to it.
I do like the green haired one but the pink one is good too. He's all about that peace love and understanding and DISCO!

Why not have the minigame in the gym give a reward based on performance? Easy to pass and get a Potion, do really well and get maybe an early evolutionary stone or something?
I like the shiny colour and the purple/pink ones for Afropup.
I like the idea of you just saying, "I need 20 documentaries now." and choosing the best of what we come up with.

:P Cherry blossom afropup does sound cute I just have a preference for the green hair is all~
It also seems like the cherry blossom aspect is a bit of a cluttering of the pokemon's theme, but I could easily see it being just fine!

Maybe we could have afropup come in all sorts of colors? That could be a lot of work but it'd be fun trying to find the color afropup you want! (Including nofropup because it is beyond adorable/hilarious XD)
I also like the bottom right afropup, but I think his hair should retain some greenness.
Why-so? I think a cherry-blossom Afropup would be cute~

Eh... I want to get this project done sooner than later. While I like the idea, I think it'll lower the already large scope of this project to forgo that feature.
Yeah, while it's a nice idea, having to put it into the game can make for a lot more work, so it's best just to do a recolour of some kind instead. You have to think about realistic goals when it comes to finishing and while it is cool, it's not necessary.

... Don't worry I'm totally keeping that scene with the sailor. :P
I personally like the two recolors on the bottom right. The outline issue is due to the original palette being super-dark to the point where there wasn't much of a point in diversifying that color range. It's something I can easily fix, though.
Yes it stays!!! =D

It'd be cool if Afropup came in different colors like Deerling. Whether it be seasons or somehow if this could be done you could play different types of music/song to find certain colors.

I think it's okay for the shiny one since you will see them .. very rarely. And will have seen the standard one.
That said, I agree the standard one should be identified as grass-pokemon. I think some of the earlier wooden editions with a lighter brown would work well.

Remember that afropup still needs to retain the look of a grass type somewhat. He doesnt really have any indication other than color so be careful (as soon as his hair color is changed to a non grass type color its sort of lost).
Purple blue is my favorite out of the ones Libby has made by the way.
