More Dark Gym Art

On March 17, 2012, I posted this: http://eastcoastpokemonleague.blogspot.com/2012/03/dark-gym-art-2-down-22-to-go.html hinted at this project and now I have come back for more.

This mascot of my Dark Gym is all about speed. She's quick to Assist her fellow teammates and Beat Up any challengers who are up to no good. Once you feel the breeze of her Icy Wind be prepared to have your plans for the Night Slashed. I just hope the challengers of the ECPL's Dark Gym have a strong jaw, because in one Quick Attack, this wild cat will land a pretty nIce Punch on your face.

It's Weavile !!!

Let's See ... Who Should I Battle With?

Dark Gym Art, The Last One ... Maybe

I've been through a Whirlwind of events since first training Dark types in Ruby/Emerald. In Pursuit of completing my Dark Pokemon bead art challenge, I found my way to Return to one of the first dark Pokemon that I trained for combat. On a Sunny Day, it has the potential to be one of the fastest Pokemon to Fling opponents into a corner and have them balled up in a Defense Curl. If you and your team choose to battle this Pokemon, I'd suggest a Double Team effort, because in a Flash you will feel the Strength of his Explosion. It's ...

Every dog has his day and today this dog is eager to Take Down all challengers. When Mightyena is on the trail of a would-be Thief, it's always ready to Bite and sink teeth into anyone this Odor Sleuth can sniff out. If the Snarl from this Pokemon's jaws doesn't deter you from trying to Snatch an item, then let Me First warn you. It will Howl for Payback.

This Brave Bird is the cock of the walk. Wherever it decides to Roost it has the Assurance that it will Quash all conflicts. This Aerial Ace has the Moxie to Retaliate against any foe. Taunt him if you dare, to be blunt, he just doesn't give a Pluck. I'm talking about the Don(karasu) of course, A.K.A. the head Honchkrow.

I took my second crack at training Drapion in bead form. It came out a little more Toxic than I had hoped. My aim was to Dig through my large bucket of beads to find the right match-up that would Cross Poison with Dark and come up with a combination that would keep fans of this Pokemon from getting up in a Roar. I hope you all will Return for the next installment.

This one was having a problem keeping his pants up. I didn't want it to go through any Frustration trying to pull off a Hi Jump Kick and end up with his Head Smashed. Hopeful now that I have fused Scrafty's sprites with an iron, I can Rest easy. I'll be back with more. I've had too much juice to drink, so it's off to the men's room to Drain Punch.

If you want a crustacean pokemon, don't fall for some cheap Knock Off, go for the true king of Crunch with a Crabhammer to back it up. If you ever find yourself trapped in his Vicegrip make sure you Protect your neck, because you'll be one step away from a date with a Guillotine. If you play your hand wrong, you will just another victim of his Superpower. Clearing this stick from your craw can be quite daunting! IT'S CRAWDUANT!!!

This Prankster is quick to pull off a Trick or two which will leave opponents who fall for his Toxic Taunt, with a Mean Look on their faces. His ghostly charms are sure to Astonish even the most advance Pokemon trainers. They will be quick to learn that no one on the corner has Swagger like Sableye.

I didn't exactly stop making bead sprites, but i did decide to dump my latest creation. Either it didn't have the right Individual Value, I didn't put in enough Effort Value, or I didn't show the correct Ability to design this sprite. It just wasn't in my Nature to keep this Knock Off bead sprite. Here's some images from the video of my battle with Drapion.

Up close the colors didn't look right.

When it seemed that I could not get this pokemon to work ...

I was left with no choice but to set it free!

Boo. Did I scare you, or was it my new Pokemon sprite? Where you spooked by the Ominous Wind in the air? Well I wouldn't want you all to hold a Grudge for keeping you in suspense for two sentences. So, I'll leave you with this Memento.

It's Spiritomb!!!

I had a slight problem this morning when trying to fuse together this guy's Iron Head. The way it currently is, it looks more like it went through a Guillotine. Despite the Sucker Punch thrown my way, this young Pokemon will be the next to go up on the wall. Give a warm welcome to Bisharp AKA "Shredder".

This would have been "14 Down 10 To Go" but I had an awful Spiritomb that ultimately did not make the cut. But rather chose to cut the paint off my wall when he was escorted from the premise. So instead, I will unveil the Pokemon that I have but never used in a non-EV, non-E4-leveling up battle ...... Mandibuzz. He's such a Bravebird for weathering through this Whirlwind of events.

I've made it to the half way mark after putting the final touches on Krookodile.

The newest addition the the wall is the dark master of illusion, Zoroark. For this Pokemon, when trainers fail to quickly spot, are sure to fall for it's Nasty Plot.

Here to Intimidate all opposing bead sprite teams, Krookodile is here to Crunch all competition. I still need to go back and see what his stomach will look like when it is all light-grey. Can you Dig it?

On this run we have Tyranitar, Cacturne, and Sharpedo.
Tyranitar: I may have to revisit this Pokemon after I find a new image. It looks more goofy, when the actually Pokemon is more menacing.

Cacturne: This picture shows one black bead out of place and now I can't remember if I had changed that before ironing it. I had to change out 3 colors to get my final layout of this guy.

Sharpedo: I did not like the Black/White box sprite of this guy at all. I chose to use the Ranger 2 sprite. It is considerably larger than the rest of the box sprite Pokemon. Sadly some of the beads got a little too warm and melted close. Overall, it didn't come out too bad. I just may choose the Ranger 2 sprite for Drapion because that has another "What is that supposed to be?" Black/White box sprite.

I forgot to do the Play-by-Play after ironing and mounting Darkrai. So here is a 3 in 1 post. Recently up on wall we have Houndoom AKA Hotdog, Hydreigon AKA Dread, and Murkrow AKA "I forgot to name him".

Well, I got the largest one out of the way. With just shy of 2000 beads, it took me from Monday night to Wednesday night. Although, Tuesday I was a little preoccupied. Just assume by Thursday morning that it will be ironed.

Absol. The dream world version still eludes me, but my Super Luck version still packs a punch.
