Description Well, I've been playing pokemon White (and admittedly it's part of the reason why I've been so scarce around dA) and had to do some fan art.
I've never liked very many bug pokemon before, but suddenly this generation had a ton of awesome ones! I have a scolipede and a larvesta on my team right now c:

Could I use this picture for a group Icon? It's dedicated to Bug Pokemon.

I agree, bug pokemon have been taking a back seat-- but this generation has so many kick ass looking ones. I also have a Scoliopede on my team as well, best bug this generation, hands down!

IceandSnow In reply to BlackVelvett [2011-04-05 06:00:46 +0000 UTC]

Yeah seriously! And they also generally have such low stats after the beginning of the game, with a few exceptions, before this generation. I totally didn't know until this year that bug type was super effective against dark and psychic- it makes it really useful to have a bug pokemon around!

BlackVelvett In reply to IceandSnow [2011-04-06 03:21:50 +0000 UTC]

Agreed! I didn't know how great Bug Pokemon could be- and they're so much easier to train. Earlier generations had them evolve so early that it took longer for them to gain XP. Luck Egg ftw!

MY ONLY QUESTION is whats your opinion on the scale of these pokemon?

IceandSnow In reply to TheKrakensMaster [2011-04-03 21:11:42 +0000 UTC]

WELL.... I'm not entirely sure. I probably should've looked up their heights before I drew them!
I do know that larvesta's evolution is apparently HUGE... like bigger than a person :0
I would love to have a giant moth, ehehe.

I've been playing White a lot too XD I adore Larvesta! It just looks so soft and cuddly with its...BUG FUR. And I love the way you drew Scolipede! It's too cute!

Dragonling140 [2011-03-23 01:52:41 +0000 UTC]

Awesome pic!

Yeah, most of the bug types this gen are awesome. I hate spiders, but I love Galvantula SO MUCH. It's ridiculous.

KiRAWRa [2011-03-22 21:38:46 +0000 UTC]

omg I absolutely LOVE the way you drew the larvesta XD so cute!
I honestly dislike just about all of the bug pokemon. I'm not even that big of a fan for the electric spider. Scyther is pretty cool, but I'd never have it in my party or anything.. the only bug pokemon I have ever liked, and have ever had in my party was Mothim. I dunno, bug pokemon just aren't my cup of tea I guess :/ But I still love the way you drew them here! XD

Dimensionsatire [2011-03-21 21:09:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I've never been a fan of bug pokemon either, favorite has always been Scyther and Scizor, and Ariados if I feel like it, but this gen...holy cow. Not much for the bottom left one or Joltik (Makes me think of an electric Spinarak) but Mothra (Volcarona) is a great concept and I'm just obsessed with Scolipede. I took it with me all the way, I solo-ed the wind gym with him, as well as two of the Elite Four. He gets less pwnsome near the end of the game, but he serves his purpose. His speed is still the greatest out of all my pokemon, including legendaries, and his attack is nothing to scoff at either.
I never thought I'd like a 5th gen pokemon so much, but there ya go.

IceandSnow In reply to DropDeadIno [2011-03-21 20:49:13 +0000 UTC]

I haven't said my team because I'm not sure if it'll be staying the same! For some reason in this game I keep loving everything and being indecisive about which pokemon I want on my team... agh ;___;
But right now...

Snuggles the samurott
Bowie the Zeburaika
Wallace the Scolipede
Pepper the Larvesta
Litho the Archeops
and Caan the.... ghost robot guy

TuxedoDemon [2011-03-21 01:23:08 +0000 UTC]

Aaaaaagh, yesyesyes, I love Scolipede so much, and I want one on my team, but it's a bug/poison type and can be creamed by like everything. :C And Galvantula has low stats and kept fainting and costing me battles, adorable as it is. I think I might end up with Volcarona on my team though, hah.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

IceandSnow In reply to TuxedoDemon [2011-03-21 01:59:22 +0000 UTC]

I actually haven't had much trouble with mine though. My scolipede seems to have decent enough stats that even when a super-effective attack hits him, it doesn't do too much.
Man, it really does seem like so many of the pokemon in this generation have low defense and are too easy to faint. I keep changing the members of my team because of that problem D:
I can't wait till my larvesta evolves! But man, it sure is a lot of work getting her up to lv 59.. it seems so far away, she's still only on level 40 right now. :c

SoraNachi [2011-03-21 00:34:38 +0000 UTC]

Awesome pic! The pokemon in this gen are love especially the bugs! My favorite are venipede, scolipede, larvesta, and volcarona.

cellel [2011-03-20 23:29:27 +0000 UTC]

I've always felt sorry for bug pokemon. They just have way too many weaknesses, and other than Scyther back in the Red/Blue days they've all been kinda fugly. I'm thinking I might have to raise up a Joltik though, their evolved forms are so fluffy and huggable!

kisira [2011-03-20 18:09:17 +0000 UTC]

Volcaronas are badass. Hands down.

I think prior to Gen V the few badass bugs were limited to fully evolved high attack threatening things like Yanmega or Scizor.

Indeeeeeed! And I just love moths, gwaaahhh <3

And yeah, seriously! Bug pokemon always had such low stats. And their designs weren't as cool as these either, generally.

oooh I hope you do more from that game I love your pokemon fanart

I have on my team currently: Sawsbuck I named him Orin, Samuott (final form of oshwott?) I named him Triton, a Lampet that I called Flick, my Zebrastrika that I named Flash, and my Unfezant Gusty. I had Triton, Gusty, Flash and Orin from the moment I got them so they are my favorites XD

IceandSnow In reply to mialythila [2011-03-20 20:30:47 +0000 UTC]

And awwww, I have Samurott too. His name is Snuggles ;B
Sounds like a good team you've got there!

mialythila In reply to IceandSnow [2011-03-20 20:42:51 +0000 UTC]

HAHAH that is awesome! I thought Triton would be fitting considering when he evolves he is a bad-ass water thing with a white bushy mustache XD. Oh will you draw them in all forms?

I forgot that I have a Beartic that I named Glacie on my team XD forgot about her. But yeah Gusty, Trion, Orin and Flash are the bad-asses on my team XD. Gusty poned the strongest pokemon the last gym leader had in two hits.

AWWW YEEEEAHH :3
I'm still a little unsure about which pokemon are going to stay on my team, but right now I have Samurott, a Zeburaika named Bowie (heh), an Archeops named Litho, a Larvesta named Pepper, a Scolipede named Wallace and one of those ghost robot guys named Caan

HAhaha I love your names XD Love them XD
How far are you in the game now? I am on Victory Road. I are nerdy XD I actually do not keep any bug pokemon. I am thinking once I get through the Elite 4 then I am going to take out my other pokemon that I wanted to use but couldn't then get them leveled up and evolved.

I'm a little guilty of overtraining my pokemon by beating up a bunch of wild pokemon. Eheheh.
I think I need to do that some more, actually, since I just changed a couple members of my team and need to get them caught up. xD
