Artist's Comments

I call this critter "Bowlbit", a combination of bowling ball and rabbit. While this is my own creation, the inspiration was Pokemon (owned by Nintendo, in case you live under many rocks).

[EDIT - After doing a test of the curve on the tail, I found it was my sketch that was mistaken, not the people who pointed out that it "looked weird". I have since corrected this.]

If Bowlbit was a species of Pokemon, I would describe it approximately as such:

Type - Normal
Bowling Ball Pokemon

Ability: Hippity Hop
If this pokemon avoids a ground attack, it does light damage to the attacking pokemon (about the same as what weak poison would do each round).

Bowlbit would have above average HP and speed, average attack, and defense, and below average special attack and defense.

Default attacks:

Tackle
Growl

Level up attacks (in no particular order):

Bounce
Rollout
U-Turn
Double Edge
Body Slam
Minimize
Amnesia
Agility
Headbutt
Zen Headbutt
Dig

As for TMs, I'm not gonna bother going through the list to figure out which ones this critter should be able to use, but it would likely have access to quite a few while not necessarily being able to use them well (type normal and low special attack, after all).

As for HMs, Rock Smash and Rock Climb would be about it, I think. I wanted to say strength, but I think the poor guy would roll out of control before successfully pushing a huge rock out of the way.

I may make an evolution for Bowlbit at some point, which would basically be the same except for looking different and having beefed up stats (with special defense getting the biggest boost).

And yes, I HAVE put way too much thought into this. Thanks for pointing that out, you MEANIE.

What would its having low Special Attack have to do with its TM compatability? There are some physical attack TMs...

Creative design, though, Shive.

I remember back in the day in 'Nam, when me and the other fellers used to eat pataters every meal o' the day. Sometimes they was mashed. Others was fried. But one thing always remained:

They was pataters.

Hmmm.... Cute, bouncy, and has antennae.

Seems... familliar... somehow =p

True, but I'm thinking of things like Fire Blast, Thunder, Etc. Many of the most powerful generic "lots of critters can use these" TMs use special attack, particularly among the ones you can buy extra copies of.

Simple and cute. Pokemon indeed! :P
:iconchris-jg:
Very Pokemon design you got there. I was thinking I'd missed one in my research when I spotted it. XD

The tail looks like it should connect behind the ears... I dunno if that's just me but it doesn't quite look right... :shrug:

Still waiting for a UK releace date for D/P... Gettin' bored... ¬_¬

I think a good name for the evolved bowlbit would be Metabowl. it might have sonic, thunder, and maybe volt tackle as new attacks. maybe recover and rest as new defensive moves.
:iconroya111:
Very cute little guy you got there Mr. Shive.

One catch phrase away from living in a sitcom.

Thanks ^_^

The Tail does look a little weird in the final version, but the sketch I have tells me that the tail placement is accurate. It is merely obscured by the ear.

*(normally) shy EGS fan* Adorable! :3 Original pokemon are always interesting when they're believable. Too many are overpowered ripoffs of existing ones. If I could draw I'd probably upload a creation or two.
