You don't need to worry too much. I'm mostly just trying to show what I've received, both good and bad.
This is intended to help artists see the overall condition of the game's art, so they know what's missing and what needs work.
I do have to give Bubba91 a lot of credit though. He's contributed an insane amount of art, and that's very kind of him.
It's only natural that the quality would vary a bit. Like any artist, he has hits and misses, but I don't want to discourage him.
- The unusual Ghastly is partly my fault. I plan to make ghost pokemon intriguingly mysterious and legitimately scary. Bubba91 experimented with various designs based on that idea. Also, something very surprising is going to happen in the game when you attempt to arouse a Ghastly.
- I personally thought his version of Diglett was hilarious. And I suggested that
something like this might be a neat idea for Dugtrio.
- Some pokemon just don't lend themselves to looking attractive. Making a bird character look attractive is very difficult, so I really can't fault him for that. But like any dedicated artist, he wasn't afraid to try. Drowsee was especially difficult, and it took a lot of work to figure out how to make an attractive Drowsee. Caterpie is another tricky one. But he managed to come up with an ingenious design for Onix, so it might be possible.
- Since my original plan was to only have about 30 pokemon in the game, not all of these are necessarily going to be in there.
