Summer contest: Design a Pokemon!

So guys, with it being summer (Thank the stars ) I have decided to host a contest! Not only that, but it's also the 20th anniversary of Pokemon- what's better than celebrating with a contest?


Theme

The contest theme is 'Design a Pokemon' So... That means a lot of free roaming! All you have to do is design a new species of Pokemon c: It can be a legendary, or a baby Pokemon, a regular Pokemon; get creative! You can have the Pokemon as a single type, or a duel type- whatever you want really. Originality is what we're looking for here!

In the artists comments below- it would be great to have a bit of information on the Pokemon- Like a Pokedex entry really. A short summary of the Pokemon, along with it's name, height, weight, type; all the valuable information that we all need about your fantastic design <3

What really matters is the general concept of the Pokemon. Whether it's a Pokemon based off of an animal, or a Pokemon based off of something else- go wild with your designs! The originality is what really matters here, if you want a good chance of being noticed- try something that no one else has done yet! The contest will NOT be completely based on drawing-skill. We can have novices and professionals here.

Rules

TWO entries is the maximum here
Don't copy an official Pokemon's design- Or someone else's 'Fakemon' either. This has to be your design, no one else's! Pictures have to be 2015 drawn, no old pictures please!
The picture HAS to be coloured in. Traditionally or digitally-- or even a sculpture if you're daring c: (see why in prizes section)
NO disrespect to any of the judges or any other contestants. You'll be disqualified.
Only ENTER this contest if you/your family/guardians are okay with having the prizes mailed to your household.
NO cheating by asking all your friends to vote for your design. Lets have it as fair as possible!
  HAVE FUN!
