Bug report: I've noticed that with "Ikarus found her Moemon v2.0-1.4", I couldn't access the entrance to Mt. Moon. First I thought this may be an patching error because I also used the 386 patch at that time. So I repatched that version on a clean Fire Red (U) rom as well for testing purposes... only to find that I still couldn't enter Mt. Moon. I ran the test on Visual Boy Advance M and MyBoy. I plan to test the new update as well this evening and report back. Edit: I'm back to report that the bug described above is sadly also present in the new update when patched on a clean Fire Red (U) rom. :(

I vote for reverse trap Nidoking line and trap Nidoqueen line! Such a mix up would be interesting to see. :D Reverse(?) Nidoking trap concept [spoiler] [/spoiler] Nidoqueen concept [spoiler] [/spoiler]

@McMagister Aw, no more visible central incisors for Raticate maido? The teeths in your previous pic were one of her charm points. :o

I just hope that the Paras line will receive a little facelift as well in the near-ish future. [spoiler] Seeing all these adorable Paras/Parasect crossovers with Sakura Chiyo over at pixiv makes one want to own one too. :D [/spoiler]

Delicious! Gotta love the fiery stare of the second one too.

@McMagister The boyish Machop looks really cute! How are you envisioning her evolutions though? Will they retain this reverse trap look of this prevolution? Or are you planning to draw them more like kinniku musume?

Chocolate shiny Absol, pretty please.

Are you open for suggestions? 'Cause Kuso Miso Technique-mons would fit in quite well here.

True... replacing Grimer, Muk and Ditto with slime girls would be quite magnificient to behold. [spoiler] Less cosplay + more monster girl = more moe~! <3 [/spoiler]

No darker, bitter chocolate one? Ah well, guess milk chocolate brown has to do it.

Personally, I think it would already be sufficient if at least some of the overworld pokemon sprites were modified into moemon for immersion's sake: the zoo at Fuchsia City could especially profit from such a change. But it's also true that overhauling all moemon battle sprites is more important at the moment. Ah well, maybe at some other time in the future.

Closed eyes feels more unique to me and thus gets my vote. Heheh, that maid might look even more authentic (and sleepier) if she'd hold an empty wine bottle in her right hand. :p

Since I have a weakness for both golden eyes and violet hair, I simply *must* vote for the 2nd Dragonite. Although she would look even better if her backsprite's mouth wasn't purple. ^_^

Yup, ear muffs version stays truer to the pokemon in question and thus gets my vote as well.

@Magi The third option actually sounds pretty neat. Kind of like ear muffs, so to speak.

Eyes, pretty please with cherries on top! They add much to her charm.

The gender icons ain't much of a big deal. Just think of the males as traps and all will be fine. :p Come to think of it: will we ever see cute yandere moemons? They're the loveliest moe archetype of all and yet strangely amiss in this patch. :ph34r:

How about Kingler? Its current sprite badly needs a complete overhaul anyway.

Sorry @Moetal, guess I was a bit unclear in my last post. What I meant was Nidoking's left side, which is faced right due to his battle stance. The size of his right arm/hand (in which he holds his weapon), as well as his right foot, was fine as it was. I agree with you that purple hair suits Nidoking the best. For Nidoran (M) I'd recommend adding small green spots on his hood, as his upper half looks somewhat single-colored. Do you have anything planned for Nidorino?

A chokuto? Nice. The weapon has certainly been improved and feels more threatening than before. :) Not sure about the hair cut though... its darker green shade kind of erases the left eyebrow. Overall, that bandana adds a nice touch and makes it easier to identify the sprite as Nidoking. Might I suggest adding a horn above the bandana though, similar to Rapidash? Other than that, both the left foot and left arm/hand could perhaps use a 5%~10% enlargement, as they currently look rather tiny.

The armed one gets my vote. My only nitpick is that a bulkier weapon would probably suit Nidoking better than this cutlass. For example a falchion, broadsword, or even bludgeon weapons could all be believeable choices for him/her.

Here's a possible design for either Nidorino or Nidoking which doesn't look like a pimp. Personally, I like this reverse trap idol design quite a lot. [spoiler] [/spoiler]

Come to think of it, there's an unofficial patch for the Japanese Touhoumon floating around that chances the Pokemon cries into something cuter. It's called 鳴き声テーブル化パッチ if I remember correctly. Perhaps we can integrate it into the Moemon Revival Project?

I'm sure most of you have already noticed this, but both Drowzee and Hypno are in dire need of new sprites as well. Their currrent ones are... not very moe. At all. I found this nice Hypno design on pixiv, which could prove useful for creating a new sprite. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find anything for Drowzee. :mellow:

Here's another Metapod design that could work. [spoiler] [/spoiler] A Kakuna is fine too. [spoiler] [/spoiler]
