Description
CONTEST ENTRY #2NOM NOM
this is for 's contest, this one has to do with the evolution of an existing pokemon design
i recently saw a medicham evo, and though it was alright, but with a lot of pokemon, it bugs me when people make evos, since they usually look exactly the same, just with a color change or added features (weavile looks like a fan-made evo to me)... so i challenged myself to make one that looked different in design
NIRVOMAH-fighting/psychic-UNLEASHED- when captured in bind or any such attack, the opponent receives harsh damage, also releasing the pokemon
his name is an obvious combo of NIRVANA and OM (the holy sound of meditaion) i based his design off of shiva (the main idea anyway) but researching hindu gods, i realized most have four arms and his ability is explained in the flavour text
"Through intense meditation as a MEDICHAM its mind is finally clear and pure. It's two arms can split into four at any time, so that if it's arms are tangled the others can burst out in a barrage of punches to release it."
mind you he is also at peace, but this is his more violent side!
i LOVE HIS DESIGN!!! leik cereally! but it took for ever to get it right!
NIRVOMAH is (c) to lydario
and pokemon is (c) to the creators of pokemon!

Oh... but I uh... probably through learning a new move, but I'm not sure what that would be as I surprisingly only just now thought about it. ._.

lol Hmm.... what if it was something like learning Calm Mind, since it's based off the 'Om...' sound? XD

THat would be good, except when creating an evolution to a pre-existing pokemon, you need to figure a way around the battle mechanics. Medicham could learn that move before, so it would have been able to evolve previously, but doesn't. Yanma, tangela, and ambipom all evolve by learning a move they were previously incapable of learning which plays with the game mechanics. I can't just have him learn calm mind, it's gotta either be a new move, or give him access to one he didn't know before.

True. I just figured a move that..... hmm.... well, I don't know what moves he has, but there could be a multi-hitting move since his arms can split apart.

Perhaps, but I'm not too overly concerned at the moment.

^_^ True enough. Or perhaps it could be leveling while holding some sort of slime item, slime due to his arms being able to split apart.

It's funny, usually I get annoyed with people who ask me these questions, because usually the answers are in the descriptions, but in all the cases you've raised, none of them have been. Usually when people add stuff to their favorites in such large quantities, I feel they're just consuming the imagery, but it's nice to know you actually read the descriptions I give and give feedback where applicable, so thanks!

No prob.^^ With Fakemon, I tend to read them more thoroughly for some reason. XD

Makes sense, learn form the people you have access to.

If pokemon were real, i'd want to catch a meditite and put it in my team.

This is one of the best evos I've ever seen. I especially like the ability. It seems totally reasonable for a game.

it demands a fzv..and so it shall!OM...i feel so enlightened lol

it had hindu inspirations, but it was based on shiva... not vishnu... if it was the would most likely be a reference to snakes somewhere
im sorry if i sound like a dick for asking this, but do you ever completely read my artist comments? because half the time the questions you ask are already answered in the artist's comment...

Pretty neat! I like it, it's the perfect evo to Medichan, I see alot of evo's but none of them seem to be all that good, cept yours. I like the design for the head and the color choices the most!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thank you very much
i might make the red a little less pinky/purple though

oh my gosh i love it!!! its great! i always loved the way Medicham recovered from an attack in Revolution XD lol great design! but is the second left arm supposed to come out of the actual arm? cos it just looks a bit wierd when they're not symetrical. other than that its really cool!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well they're supposed to be able to split and merge back into eachother... like in battle his arms slips, it was just drawn that way to show this... but im thinking of making it four arms all the time
but thanx. glad you like it

Mystical Creatures expressed exactly what I thought about this drawing. The four arms, ability, everything but even with that I still think the concept is a nice one. Reaching Nirvana seem like the logically choice for Medicham.

well thank you, its nice someone can appreciate that about the idea... thank you!

I like the four arms, it reminds me of deoxys in a way that on one side they aren't completely split while on the other side they are. Very interesting concept!

i dunno...
i feel that medicham doesn't need an evo, but i won't mind if he gets one. but this one feels kinda silly. why not just give him 4 arms instead of making them reverse-fuse from 2 to 4? what would he look like with just 2 arms? and the ability would be useless in a pokebattle because moves like bind and constrict are rather weak moves that people rarely use, so it wouldn't be of much use.
now don't lash out one me with "well, its my idea, so i don't care" crap. i'm just expressing my opinion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
DONT WORRY!!!
you gave more than credible reasoning behind it!
gah, this whole fiasco made me come off as an uppity prick D:
but yea, those are the exact reasons im changing it, though originally the splitting made more sense (since i though it needed six arms, and six arms would be inconvenient, so i wanted them to merge... but with two, its fine so... yea)
but thanx for the feedback :]

Amazing job! I like the idea that it have completly new face and 4 arms, not look like it added details!!!
I completely disagrees with poeple who think it is bad...actually, it is really GREAT!
