Eqynox by CRwixey

Description

Eqynox didn't look so good after being shrunk down, but my computer refused to load the bigger one. Said it was "out of memory". Must be the evil influence of this creature that's messing things around... o_o'
The name's a combination of equine and nox, which loosely translates as "night".

0.3 mechanical pencil, 0.1 drawing pen and felt tip markers. Background added with Ulead Photo Express 2. Comments welcome! :)

Malevolent equine entities that mysteriously appear only when the moon is new or waning. They’ve made a habit of mercilessly haunting anyone who has the misfortune to cross their path. Eqynox have little power alone and must hunt in extremely large packs to compensate. They gain a disturbing amount of pleasure from damaging saplings and flowers by slashing them apart with their razor sharp wing-tails.

Wow, sounds like a real jerk Pokemon. Nevertheless, it is EXTREMELY cool-looking. :D

CRwixey on November 4, 2010, 7:33:14 AM

Yep, Eqynox is just about the jerk-iest Pokemon of all time, apart from its evolution. And Tyranitar.

_ren_tao_fan_ on November 5, 2010, 9:23:46 AM

Yeah, Tyranitar's kind of a jerk, too. XD I have one. I painstakingly raised it from an adorable Larvitar into a behemoth. -w-

CRwixey on November 5, 2010, 9:53:08 AM

I used to have a Tyranitar too, back in Silver, also painstakingly raised from Larvitar... it seemed great at the time. I'm not so keen on it now it has Sand Stream...

_ren_tao_fan_ on November 5, 2010, 9:31:23 PM

I know, right? You can't bring Tyranitar out when you're trying to catch a wild Pokemon because the sand stream will eat away the last of the wild Pokemon's HP, and you can't bring it out in a Trainer battle because then you won't be able to bring out any other Pokemon, because they'll get hurt by the sand. It's really annoying. I have a Tyranitar in FireRed, but I stopped using him. Tyranitar is still plenty useful in my Crystal game, though. :D Or was, until my game crashed. D>

CRwixey on November 9, 2010, 3:39:29 AM

Wow, how did your Crystal version crash? Thankfully I've never had the same happen to me, but then I didn't play Crystal that much.
Maybe Tyranitar could work as part of a "Sandstorm" team, where everything is immune or denefits from Sandstorms, but they'd probably get mangled by Grass and Water Types...

_ren_tao_fan_ on November 9, 2010, 5:40:08 AM

Well, it didn't really "crash." Its internal battery died, so I lost all my beloved Pokemon (SOB *sniff*) and now I can't play it anymore because, since its internal bettery is dead, it won't let me save the game. D:
Amd, I guess that could be done, but I like to diversify my teams, so having only a couple types of Pokemon in my team wouldn't really work for me. XD I'd die.

CRwixey on November 12, 2010, 2:42:20 AM

I've heard tales of internal batteries dying before, I'm amazed it never happened to me as I used to play my Game Boy to death. I know what it's like to lose all your 'mon, I accidentally wiped my Blue verison's data with an xploder GB cheat device... I still miss them. :(

I prefer diverse teams too, I'm no good with single/double type teams, although I've heard weather-based teams can work well.

_ren_tao_fan_ on November 22, 2010, 7:39:44 AM

Weather-type? Like, water moves become stronger when it's raining?

CRwixey on November 22, 2010, 8:14:39 AM

Pretty much... and Sunny Day reducing Solarbeam's "charging up" time to only one turn while doubling Fire type moves etc. I can't get them to work as it's hard to find enough Pokemon who benefit from the weather status who don't all share the same weaknesses.

_ren_tao_fan_ on November 23, 2010, 7:48:39 AM

Yeah, it seems kinda inconvenient, to look around for the best weather Pokemon.
I just team up with my favorites. :) Haunter, let's face it, is a weakling, but I love mine and I battle with her all the time.

CRwixey on November 23, 2010, 8:25:10 AM

Me too. It was ages before my Blue version Haunter evolved, but I still loved it. ^^

I still stick with the old "Blastoise & Raichu" combo for the Battle Tower, which is probably why I keep losing somewhere between battles 21 - 28...

_ren_tao_fan_ on November 23, 2010, 10:10:09 PM

I use a Raichu, too. He doesn't have the best HP, but he can do a lot of damage. I haven't tried the Battle Tower yet... how many battles are there?

CRwixey on November 24, 2010, 7:50:56 AM

From what I've seen, Battle Tower never ends... you fight "blocks" of seven trainers, one after another (your three-strong team is healed after each fight) until you lose.
They start of pretty easy but fights 21 onwards are more difficult. The game's AI seems to have an incredibly unfair advantage... they score critical hits suspiciously frequently and you can Double Team the heck out of your monsters but the opponent's attacks still hit home. :<

_ren_tao_fan_ on November 27, 2010, 2:04:11 AM

Ouch. D: That sucks. I'll have to look out for that. Maybe I should try Battle Tower. I know you get prizes, but do you have to get to a certain point in order to get anything?

CRwixey on November 27, 2010, 8:47:30 AM

You get a silver trophy for a winning streak of 50+ and (I think) a gold trophy for 100+ wins. You get a bronze one for beating the Battle Tower's "Tower Tycoon" at battle 21. In Diamond/Pearl/Platinum the trophies can be placed in your underground "secret base"; they're placed in your bedroom in HeartGold/SoulSilver.

Each of the three Pokemon that took part in battles 21 and 50 get given special ribbons, in they win.

You also get a silver/gold print for your Battle Recorder in the Gold/Silver versions. I don't think you get anything else apart from battle points, except the satisfaction of beating some of the most evil Trainers in Pokemon history... :)

_ren_tao_fan_ on November 27, 2010, 10:35:01 AM

Hey, pride is pride. :D I'm just happy that I can beat Red/Ash without much difficulty. (Or, at least I could...)

CRwixey on November 30, 2010, 8:41:38 AM

I guess so, although I can't remember the last time I felt proud during a Pokemon game... or any game, come to think of it. I tend to feel I could've "done better" all the time...

I'm finding Red/Ash easier now than the first few battles, but that Lapras drives me nuts if I don't have a strong Electric attack. ><

_ren_tao_fan_ on December 1, 2010, 3:55:23 AM

Yeah, the Lapras is a problem... even my Electric moves don't always kill it in one hit, so then it goes and uses some insane move like Blizzard on my poor Raichu D:

lashanta22 on November 4, 2010, 11:47:11 AM

Can barely see it but it looks cool and I love the wing

CRwixey on November 5, 2010, 9:54:51 AM

Yeah, it turned out too dark. I had so much trouble with the background, that and the computer messing up repeatedly. I've decided to do the evolution's back by hand to make it easier on the eye.

lashanta22 on November 5, 2010, 6:51:41 PM

oh ok well it is still awesome looking

TheHexGirls on November 4, 2010, 10:47:42 AM

cool. :D

CRwixey on November 5, 2010, 9:53:32 AM

Thank you! :)

Falconlobo on November 4, 2010, 7:17:40 AM

cool nice wing^^

CRwixey on November 4, 2010, 7:31:45 AM

^^ Thanks!
