I like it, even though it looks like something I am probably allergic to

Yeah, like a root growing from the back. Thanks for the C&C!

I think it's the eyes that make these look off-style, but that's not necessarily a bad thing - all these early Pokemon games are kind of off-model. My concern here is that I don't quite get the anatomy on Footsie and Roomple - are they supposed to be carrying... root vegetables of some sort... on their backs?

thanks for the feedback! I agree about all except the rush, did 12 iterations :(

i seem to have trouble finding the problems. 

If you ask me, it's a bit messy. There are some jaggies in parts and the outlines aren't clean in others. It's not bad, but it seems a bit rushed.
