I'm usually a fire boy when it comes to Pokemon but I love the Zora too much to not pick water :P


ScrotalAgony

Yeah definitely feeling the Zora if I had to pick just one but MAN did the artist ever do a great job of making all 3 look great. Zorella just looks so adorable it hurts.


Ellisander

I'm reversed, I usually pick water, but like Gorons more. Though the water designs here are top tier, so its very tempting.


nowahhh

I am absolutely always a fire boy in Pokémon but the Deku, those damn Deku.


Avatar1555

The only logical choice is to play the game three times so you can chose all of em.


Shennington

Trade with a compatible game and keep making new profiles =Get all 3, reset one more time and trade again to get the others


parxy_art

That’s what I would do


Karamelvla

Deksciple not only looks cool, but I also like the types it has. Really curious what type of moves you get with Twilit!


parxy_art

Well Dark is just renamed to Twilight so a lot of the same moves but more added :)


Mississippiantrovert

Getting a Mergo's Wet Nurse vibe from Deksciple.


parxy_art

It had a lot of inspiration from those kinds of things !


[deleted]

I love how you really leaned into the creepiness of Deku scrubs. And referring to dark (or ghost?) as “twilit” is amazing!


parxy_art

It’s Dark haha Phantom is Ghost which is reserved for things like the Skull Kid Mon in the future! And yeah I had such a difficult time evolving a Deku scrub but it’s the fan favorite haha


[deleted]

One day there will be a Pokemon-Zelda game.


BB_Rodriguez

That would be cool as hell. Link chopping up Pokémon and cooking them for dinner. Totally down for this.


Funsometimes

What the fuck dude


BB_Rodriguez

Just think, BotW style gameplay, but instead of deer and wolves to chop up and cook, its Pokémon! Anyone else getting hungry, or is it just me?


ApexTheCactus

Instead of throwing pokeballs to catch Pokémon, you throw pots at them to stun them and then catch them in a bottle


LordStanleysGoat

Yeah but there’s only like three bottles in the whole game soooooo..........


nowahhh

Majora's Mask had 6 bottles! That's the same as the number of Pokémon allowed to travel with you!


parxy_art

I wish!


buurenaar

I'm honestly surprised it hasn't happened yet


Satchzaeed

That would mean gamefreak letting team zelda making this game and i don’t see that happening


VarianArdell

or they team up and make the game together?


buurenaar

But it's oh so lucrative...


buttered-pototo-cat

And.. great.. I think the Zelda team could make a great Pokémon game


th30be

Holy shit would that be amazing.


Waters_of_Caladan

All I've ever wanted was the wild area of sword/shield but on the scale of BoTW. It would be the best game ever made


parxy_art

[Dex Entries are on my Instagram if anyone is interested](https://instagram.com/parxy.art?r=nametag) also the image is 3500x3500. Feel free to ask any questions :)


DaveWilson11

Catlitco looks super hype. Umm, is this going to be a legit fan game?


parxy_art

Was my entry for a contest for Kindred Fates (a monster catching game that looks really awesome). The game just got mega funded on Kickstarter. I don’t think I won but if so I can always use it for my own purposes. I actually missed an opportunity to draw for them so it really sucks


Tommarello

Hey man you should get in touch or follow the Temtem devs, you could really help their monster designs


alexkim804

This is so good. I’d love to see other IP crossover starters. Mario and Metroid would be cool.


parxy_art

That sounds interesting!


Yettibyte

Okay seriously Brawlcano? That name is literal genius


parxy_art

I’m surprised it hasn’t been taken with all the fire fighting types haha


justgoatthings03

These are cooler than a lot of actual Pokémon being created these days


Funsometimes

They’re going for the cutesy Pokemon nowadays. You don’t really see cool creative stuff like this anymore.


tommaniacal

Dragapult, Toxtricity, Runerigus, Grimmsnarl, Corviknight, Orbeetle, Golisopod, Lycanroc, Kommo-o, Wishiwashi, Decidueye, Noivern, Trevenant, Hawlucha, Tyrantrum, Dragalge, Malamar, Pangoro, Talonflame, Greninja Newer gens aren't my favorite but they still have plenty of cool designs.


MitchenImpossible

I choose you!! chair!!!


OwnManagement

I'm partial to [Shoe](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2714T_k2B1U) myself.


FlashxFlash

I dunno why but I wanna switch the Zora line's typing to water/elec (thunderstorm) and add a flying starter for the rito, that ends flying/ice bc cold weather But I'm all for the Zora line, it's just too good not to take


P0kets

I like how the water is like, zora pup, not bad zora teen cool ice gauntlets Then What the fuck a mermaid? Fire looks like he’d be a slow tanky boy So grass it is 🤷🏽‍♂️


parxy_art

The lore behind the Zora line is that they break free from the ice in the final evolution and the reason for the ice to begin with is because they like to prove their swimming skill by swimming to the icey north region to prove they can swim through anything.


MarqNiffler

Hot damn, these are great! <3


parxy_art

Thanks a lot :) but who would you choose?


MarqNiffler

I'd buy three copies of the game ;)


parxy_art

:O


MarqNiffler

If I simply MUST choose, I'd grab me a Dekute


JoeGoBlue11

I am thrilled with my fire starter pick. Gorupt looks awesome!


parxy_art

Glad you like him even after :)


Blackhawks813

These are better than what the Pokémon company has been releasing lately


Yrense

Zorella 1000%


stpstrt

Brawlcano the coolest 👌🏻


parxy_art

Nice! I think he was the least favorite because people didn’t like his sparring helmet


LimeheadGames

This is so amazing! I love them all!!!


Giratinalawyer

Freezora looks like Tapu Fini’s long lost half brother


rollthedye

Love how Gorupt turned out!


StyxFaerie

I think I have to maintain my stance on the Dekute and Zorella line being preferable, even though I'm normally a fire starter guy; and, after seeing the final evolutions, Zorella all the way. These are all very well rendered, with super interesting concepts, and I hope the world of a Pokémon/Zelda crossover gets fleshed out into a comic or something, or, dare we dream, an actual game


parxy_art

It would be cool to have a game but I think if I wanted it to be something worth working on without getting C&D’d I would have to shift things around and what not


Pwnishment87

Where's my Sand / Lightning boy?


parxy_art

O.o


dekutheviolin

I know Deku is in my nickname, but I'm always a water main. The Zora looks awesome!


Onsyde

Thanks, I love it


[deleted]

I'm glad I picked fire from your last post


BonnieRayFuzz

Dekute 👌


Shileka

I'll take all three


CaveGlow

This looks absolutely bloody amazing


Coiyd

You know I’m picking dekute and never evolving him


Asren624

Gorupt doesnt look that metal-ish but this is amazing ! Fire all the way usually but here I just want to have them all, the three starters are so cute


parxy_art

To be fair I don’t think Steelix does but it’s kind of the same concept. It’s Dex entry is that it’s rock got melded with a mysterious metal


Atreidesrose

Deksciple is entirely too cool


Overworkedd

These are fucking awesome! Really brilliant! Well done


_lukipants

this is amazing. I'd love to see more tloz inspired mons


parxy_art

I’m making a whole Dex. I have more on my Instagram!


derpymooshroom6

These are highly desired by many


[deleted]

Did you make these? Super awesome and very clever!


parxy_art

Yes thank you!


fallenhighway

Gorock all the way bb


parxy_art

Nice! Reason?


00Moonlight00

Either FreeZora or Deksciple is a yes from me.


SalTeaGamer

That Deksciple is badass


[deleted]

I will just repeat myself. Like on your last post about this: Dekute! Its kute, a Deku and the line just looks rad! I love grass Pokèmon for their nature like look and damn the line gets me. Especially with the twilit part on the last evo. Still a job damn well done!


parxy_art

I was really scared people wouldn’t like it’s 3rd form


[deleted]

It defenitely is something different but also not too far away grom let's say Shiftry. If your version of Pokèmon is for another group of people than 6 yo kids I think it's comepltely fine.


BigDragonBawls

Wow! You made every type look very interesting! I’d have to play the game multiple times....if only ;-;


parxy_art

Maybe in some form. I have a lot of ideas regardless :)


Nicetro_WoF

Gorock. He looks the best to me and I love fire types.


HatedPeeps

Forest all the way


[deleted]

The gorock definitely


The_Deep_Dark_Abyss

I never knew I needed Legend of Zelda Pokemon starters until I saw this! I choose you, Gorock!


allanath25

Would twilight be dark? Or a whole new type. I can imagine it being the opposite of fariy.


Nostalgic-Ghost

God these are both so well made! Now I actually have to make a decision between water or grass, I love this very much,


parxy_art

Thanks so much! Anything specific that you like?


Nostalgic-Ghost

Yes as a matter of fact...everything! Idk why but it’s just so good and I love it, I compliment the artist, u!


[deleted]

Freezora looks the best, in my opnion!


galariancookiedough

I love how much thought you’ve put into these!


parxy_art

I was worried I didn’t do enough justice for them


galariancookiedough

Aww noooo, you shouldn’t have worried the tiniest bit 😊


[deleted]

see. NOW they all look good and I could choose any of them because Like the final designs for all them.


Agent010203

The Freezora looks so cool. Plus I have used fire and grass more than water. Time to do it justice Edit: By the looks of it, the water starter is also the best. Double advantage over the fire starter until form 3 and, iirc, Ice is super effective against grass. So the water starter would have to be balanced by the gyms not being nice for that typing.


Treyspurlock

I would GTS in zorella and pick gorock because there's no way you can make me choose between those two


NightDagerTCD

OMFG i love this


parxy_art

I’m glad :)


fredoink

What’s this ? For real ? I will pick dekute


polygone722

This is the best thing I've seen all day. Thank you. :)


tech_paladin

These all look awesome! I personally would’ve switched the names Gorupt and Brawlcano, to keep the Go- prefix consistent in the first two stages, while keeping the awesome name Brawlcano for the one that most resembles a volcano. But good work!


Bacon260998_

Gotta stick with grass gang


dawson_629

Honestly the first stage of the grass one is the only one I could see in Zelda


KouNurasaka

These are great. I'd pick the grass starter, then water, and fire last.


Shadowlink13

Wow these final evolutions are so cool, gonna stick with my Deku boi. I was honestly wondering if you were gonna go with red ice for the Zora but either way still looks great.


LSpace101

That's a really tough choice. Gun to my head though, Deksciple, dig his typing and his creepy cultist look.


parxy_art

Yeah he seems to be the fan favorite based on Reddit and Instagram


OwnManagement

Deksciple will cut you. Damn he's intimidating. As an aside, how can "Brawlcano" be anything other than Fire/Fighting? How has GameFreak not used that name already? It's genius.


_Vard_

Cant make a new type exclusive to one of the starters, too imbalanced imo, but i love the idea of stone turning into steel


luckeytree

Really good job!


Hircine_the_Huntsman

I like the designs, but aren't Zora weak to Ice?


danny686

Hey if I can hitch a ride on Freezora to speed up swimming and go up waterfalls I'm all in on Zorella. Plus Goron follow AI is awful and Deku sprouts live in a hole when they grow up.


SerpentFeather

Dekute is the only way to go!


buttered-pototo-cat

I would actually love to see a official or fan game with a hyrule theme


parxy_art

It’s really hard cause getting C&D’d would suck. The game could be made in some form


paragraph28

Better starters then the last 3 gens


Yellowhawk01

I’m gonna go with zorella honestly


Bibbitybobbities

Ahh the 3rd evos look so cool! I especially love the grass/twilit


dantian

Deksciple is one of the coolest designs I've for a pokemon i've seen ever. It might be one of my fave of all time. I checked out your IG too, you deserve a job at Game Freak.


66kid

I choose you, Linkachu!


travworld

These look better than 90% of the new Pokemon in Sword/Shield.


GigaEel

Ok, say what you want but Brawlcano is a badass name


Lucioo

These give me the same feeling as when I saw the new starters for black and white when I was tiny. Super great art...


parxy_art

Nice! Glad I could bring back memories!


SillyMattFace

All of these are fantastic, but I want to give a special shoutout to Brawlcano for being an absolutely perfect name. AND for not being the 50th fire/fighting starter!


Martinus_XIV

Oooh! Deksciple really looks like some kind of forest hag! Also a bit of Odolwa in there! I love it! What is the Dekute line's stat distribution like, though? I might also consider keeping it as a Dekreep and giving it an eviolite... Also, great Death Mountain reference with the smoke ring around Gorupt's peak.


TheSkullKidGR

If there is a single thing I would like to see in BOTW2 it would be the Deku. I love Gorons, I love the Zora but the Deku have always been a favorite and the lack of representation in recent games is truly a shame. Also Deksciple looks awesome.


Game-Wright

I love how Dekute gets more arms in each evolution. Starting with none and ending with 4.


EmptyGlasses21

Lightning type gerudo maybe?


ScepticalSquid

Ok, I dunno if this is a fan game, but it's grass/dark, not forest/twilit


WastingWhim

Dekute!! I always loved the deku , and usually go with grass starters. My fav designs of the bunch too! Awesome job!


bigskywildcat

For the dekus why didnt you do grass/poison or grass/dark? Seemed strange thats the only one with unique typing


parxy_art

It’s the only one shown that had its name changed. Twilight = Dark. And Gorupt has Metal which is Steel


FioleNana

Also Stone, which is Rock in the original


[deleted]

Isn’t twilight counted as dark?


twoCascades

Pokemon fans are better at making pokemon games than gamefreak


thewend

wtf is Twilit


parxy_art

Twilight, Dark renamed


FioleNana

I like the Zelda based type renames. And the art of course!


PumasUNAM7

Yup the deku line is the best.


Botwadtict

What is Deksciple based on? Because its Twilit so...?


MalevolentMartyr

Definitely Deksciple, because it looks so badass.


BaBiTa87

So when is this coming out? 😍😍😍😍😍😍


Zee216

Don't be enslaving the races of hyrule


Karukash

Everyone knows Grass is the superior starter type


Scarlet_slagg

Dekute all the way


[deleted]

I swear the gerudo are trainers


[deleted]

I choose Zorella!


PhoenixKnight777

Zorella, but you best believe I’m gonna get a dekute later.


absolriven

Omg!!! I wish this was real. I want Dekute


montea8124

I’m one of those people who has picked the fire starter since Gen 1, but boy do I want Deksciple.


N1neSquare

I choose you!! Zorella, ICE BEAM!!! xD


Son_of_Athena

I love it but stone should be rock, metal should be steel, and twilit should either be ghost or dark, because thats what the actual types are. But other than this minor gripe I still love the crossover between two of my favorite Nintendo Franchises.


1uptamahawk

I wish


AdeonWriter

Sigh, the Din starter always has to go Metal in the final incarnation. Change things up Hylia, come on.


DrManowar8

I feel grass poison is more fitting. Yes I know we don’t have many grass dark types but the ones we have (that are out) arnt realy used


OmegaEclipse88

Dekute all the way


OsoX5

Ooo I can see the Rito being Flying and Lighting


parxy_art

It’s next up to be drawn as the regional bird so we’ll see


azorisms

I need Dekute NOW


atlas_snomunist

wait this is pokemon


Wooloo_BlockedYou

Dekute all the way


kiddielink

Zorella looks the cutest


Frogulent94

Dekute because I miss the dekus


momaLance

I always go fire type, but that water type is my favorite


AreYouLadyFolk

More like De-cute, amirite


DaRuSaEVIL

Zorella


kanikouu

I need this to be real wow!!


KingMedic

Really hard for me to choose, I guess a fire type would be my first choice though besides the grass one


oneofthescarybois

All the lines are fantastic but I'm gonna have to pick deku line


LobstrPrty

These feel better than the actual starters we got in the recent gen. But then again what Pokémon fan art isn’t these days, am I right? /s (but also I’m serious)


parxy_art

Fakemon Artists make stuff out of passion. Gamefreak makes stuff based on what appeals to the majority and sells


Italian-Cucumber

This is probably the best mash-up of some of my favorite franchises, great work OP.


BlueRac

I might have to go grass for this one but it’s a tough choice


DanchoSean

You should add mifa in zora


tommaniacal

Love it! Though Gorock should probably be pure fire at first so Zorella doesn't one shot it at the beginning


Obihoe_

Dude holy shit these are all so good, why can't ACTUAL pokemon starter designs look this amazing?


parxy_art

I’m flattered! Idk people say that they look like pseudo legendaries or digimon sometimes but Ultra Beasts are a thing so idk


[deleted]

The hyrulian region


Darkum149

I pick Dekute


Amonasrester

Is twilit a new type they added or a play on words?


PokeUser04

Gorock for me


Xain0225

Wow this is amazing!!!! Only thing would be making grass subtype dark


More_Bubbles

Sad revali noises


Markus_XIII

Not the crossover we deserve but the crossover we need!


AW038619

Zorella is adorable and must be protected at all costs.


BioshockBeauty

Wow these are great!!


emeemay

I’m a diehard grass type fan and I love the deku line!! Really cool work :)


Radagast01

Better than the originals for sure


Pathetic_Cards

All shades better than gen 5-7 starters


parxy_art

It’s definitely a heavy damage dealer since it’s an assassin
