These are super cool! I love the details of how the characters handle their pokéballs in particular... I haven't encountered a character who paints their pokéballs to distinguish them before, but it makes a lot of sense! (And would be a fun project.)

Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad you like that detail c:

And it makes sense; Tank's a natural artist so of course he'd have fun painting them. Kidd is a flashy coordinator so naturally he'd lean towards stickers, and Benedict is a reckless League challenger so he doesn't have time or patience to decorate his weapons of choice :copyka:

Eyyy, this is really cute. Kidd looks a lot happier here, heh.
Thank you :D! I was very proud of myself for finishing it.

And yeah, Kidd would've been a lot happier if he had even one friend in his childhood. Well now he has two!

"You can run from a trainer battle, yes yes, but do you really want to, hmm?"

This art is amazing. You obviously have a LOT of thorough ideas, and you execute them very well and cohesively. These characters are just fantastic. I love Nook's battle pose. So cool.

There's so much to like about each design, I can't pick a favorite. I feel like Benedict appeals to my typical taste in characters. I like his colors and his outfit is a glorious balance of Gender and Being Ready! His hair is cute, and i LOVE his feather patterns.

Tank's shapes are my fave! His ears??? SO CUTE. and his outfit! i would wear it! including the uneven pant legs! Hes also such a creative omg. Really love how you drew all the accessories. They look very precise.

IRL, I am Kidd. The outfit, the stolen pins. I love his yellow accents. I like all the differing poses and expressions between all the main three.

The way they look in the childhood drawing is sooooooo cute, I love Benedict!!

Thank you so much :D!~

Tom Nook is a lot stronger than he lets on, and his ace shows it :eyes: (he's very Johtonian so I had to give him a Johto ace)

A lot of their character designs come from canon, but with a generous sprinkling of fun clothing. Benedict's hoodie was a necessity since I love big comfy hoodies on both myself and characters, Tank's outfit had some Goh inspiration (the baggy pant legs) and a sprinkling of Jojo flair (the ripped crop top and fun jacket), and Kidd is just a fancier version of his Animal Crossing self (and of course, the big old scarf).

And yes, Benedict's always had long flowing hair (based on some gijinkas I did of him before I started the fic). His haircut is loosely based on mine (same length, except a different color).
