Description Roachem (Roach + em)
The Roach pokemon
Bug/Dark

"Although one of the smallest pokemon, Roachem refuse to go down easily. They gorge on waste and use numbers to take down their foes."

No one would give me a good Roach pokemon design so I designed one myself!
Everyone kept drawing really realistic roaches...
I'm really pleased with it, it's so round and angry but so so weak - which just makes it cute.

I'll have to design an evo or two...If anyone wants to give it a go feel free.

I'll be adding it to the mmo this evening In my mmo there are wild pokemon down alleyways.

I literally came up with a random name for the title, so if you can think of a better name let me know! It's based on roach, them and the saying "sic 'em!"

Yes, I hate them too! I read an entry about roaches once in my homework and it said that "they keep themselves clean!" But I seriously don't believe them :>

Not bad!
The sprite is great, however the design seems a little plain, non?
But I'd still catch this guy... ESPECIALLY if he's fast.

Kyle-Dove In reply to PizzaPotatoNBacon [2013-01-16 00:37:29 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it's meant to be plain, it's basically one of the first 3 pokemon you'll find in the wild lol like rattata. His evolutions will be much more badass!

I can imagine encountering a swarm of these guys and - like the Shy-Guy crowds in Paper Mario - would lose power the lower the overall health.

Masten610 [2013-01-15 16:10:31 +0000 UTC]

It looks like it needs a simple, yet cute name to go with it's design. Pestly is the best I can come up with though.

Kyle-Dove In reply to Masten610 [2013-01-15 16:14:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I totally agree. Pestly is a good name! I'll wait to see if anyone can come up with something better.

Thanks! I'm really happy with it, its one of the few pokemon I've made that I didnt design on paper first.

I suck at english names also xD

Erm;
Inscasect (Insect + CityScape)
Creecroach (Creep and Roach)
Roachall (Roach and Small)
Minuscroach (Minuscule and Roach)
Nuscrance (Nuisance and the letter's cr; which make it sound insecty)
Scavach (Scavenger and Roach)
Oachinch (Roach and Pinch)
Oachirt (Roach and Dirt)

I've got tons more :3

Kyle-Dove In reply to Master-Pixel [2013-01-15 15:07:04 +0000 UTC]

Ooh those are some good names, I suck at names lol.
Some of them seem a bit hard to pronounce though, such as minuscroach, nuscrance, scavach, oachinch and oachirt. Any starting with Oach- doesnt really sound insect related either.
I like Roachall, but I'll wait to see if I see a better name.

Master-Pixel In reply to Kyle-Dove [2013-01-15 15:14:22 +0000 UTC]

I don't really like them; but it could change into like have a third type (moves wise only) and learn flying moves; it's cape could be it's wings also or something like that :3

Yes, yes you did. I was refreshing and I was like mmhmm no one will have commented yet - and I was wrong haha. Yes it would definitely evolve, and then you'd find the evolution in the wild in some of the later cities.

I thought about roach and chemical but it's not really poison or anything, and that would be hard to pronounce (roa kem? roach kem?)
