BEAUTIFUL shading and textures!
Skarmory really looks like he's made of battle-worn metal.

Nice sense of motion! And I like the attention to detail with the little chinks in the beak and wing.

It's been a long while when I last had a Skarmory in my party. And I must say the amount of detail and the swipe effect for it's signature move are quite eye catching to see if I do say so myself.

I was lucky to play the version of the game where the birb was catchable...
...Unfortunately it was a late game experience, and I had an established & hi leveled team already.

Not to mention Skarmory kinda sucks in-game gameplay wise, being a defensive type, with one of the better moves being available to it after breeding (as of gen 2).
...Thus, as much as I like the pokemon, I never have used it in-game.

Actually, I wanted to portrait the move better, and more dynamic (not as wave-hand as seen here), but I find the pokemon difficult to put into creative and nice looking poses, especially with its illogical wing anatomy. And frankly, I do like working with the pokemon, solely because of all the difficulties it causes.

I ended with a simple, and uninspiring if you ask me, slighty enlargered for the oomph effect, wing swipe. Hey, the birb has wings of steel, so getting a hit with those will hurt, regardless of any fancy effect, ya?
At least I recompensated the bland move portrayal with more in-depth body surface polish.

If you're referring to Slver/Crystal then yes you do come across the Pokemon quite late after reaching Blackthorn City.

I'v only used a Skarmory in-game once when I played Emerald, the Pokemon did help me out when it needed though. I know what you mean that it's strongest flying move at the time was Drill Peck, which Skarmory could only learn through breeding and not through level up.

I do admire that in Skarmory's Pokedex Entry in Emerald, it's wings could be carved and salvaged into swords.

Yup, the gen it was introduced in.

In 3 gen Skar was also a bit too late to my taste, and my team was established as well. Got very nostalgic when I saw it in the grass, tho. The Hoenn pokes looked so putrid to me, that I had a separate box just for 2gen.

Mhm.

Oddly enough, there only seem to be a handful of Gen 3 Pokemon that are my favourite (view my profile in regards to my favourite Pokemon if you wish).

Was still better than gen 4... 

In your profile's ID, I found it.

I always wonder how this pokemon flies... or does it just float?

Twarda8 In reply to WinterCritter [2017-05-10 08:54:33 +0000 UTC]

I would say it glides. The wings looks quite inefficent aerodynamically.
Or... maybe it's full of Helium?

Agent-G245 In reply to Twarda8 [2018-01-24 23:24:21 +0000 UTC]

I think some Pokedex entries say that its wings are hollow, and that's how it flies.

Twarda8 In reply to Agent-G245 [2018-01-25 08:40:55 +0000 UTC]

The surface the wings makes, or rather the lack of it, is not efficent to maintain the flight, speaking in real life physics.
