Fakemon artist Elesteva is hosting a little challenge on Twitter and Instagram to create "proto" and "neo" forms of existing pokemons, based on a recent rumor about a new mechanic on the new Scarlet and Violet games where pokemon will take new forms similar to Megaevolutions were they will change into a past or future form, and I decided to participat

I made a "Proto" form for the Torchic line, they are Fire/Dragon type and are based on Raptors and Terror Birds, kind of a reference to the idea of modern birds evolving from dinosaurs, and chicken specifically being the closest modern relatives of the T-Rex

They have a signature move called "Blazing Axe" which is a more powerful version of "Blazing Kick"

you can follow this challenge on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #ProtoNeoForms

Hope you like them
