Special thanks to The Smogon Project for providing the base sprites for the mega evolutions. Check out The Smogon Project here: www.smogon.com/forums/threads/… So these are the Reverse World forms of the Kanto starters. Originally I tried drawing them, but the Bulbasaur line is a PAIN to draw, and so is Charizard in all its forms. Thankfully I remembered that I had these sprites done a while back, so here they are.The eagle-eyed reader can probably spot inconsistencies with how Chapter 6 of Pokemon Burst: Blue Moon described Mirror Charmander and Mirror Squirtle. In the story, Mirror Charmander was sandy-colored, while Mirror Squirtle had agem on its back. These are natural variations between different individuals and are NOT necessarily shiny forms. I still haven't decided on what their shiny forms will be like, but am considering basing the shiny forms on the original color scheme of the original versions of these Pokemon.Notably, the colors of the Bulbasaur and Charmander lines are each based on a character from Twitch Plays Pokemon. The grey color of the Bulbasaur line is based on Greysaur/Daaash from the Pokemon Brown run, and the white color of the Charmander line is based on Effie the White from the Moemon run. While we have had notable Squirtle line characters as well (Shellock from Randomized FireRed, SquirtLee from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon), the only one to have an unique color was Olive the Blastoise from Randomized White 2, and these sprites were designed long before the Randomized White 2 run. (Also, I like the Boldore color scheme on the Squirtle line better anyway.)EDIT: A bit of natural history on these three starter lines.Mirror Bulbasaur is based on the surinam toad, a toad species that carries its young in holes on its back until they develop into froglets. If you're in for a slightly disturbing treat, you can probably look up videos of this process on YouTube, although they aren't recommended for the squeamish. As it happens, the power of Mega Evolution allows the eggs on the parent Venusaur's back to hatch, and post-evolution, the young Bulbasaur scatter back into the wild. No, they don't get sucked back into the eggs. That would just be cruel.Mirror Charmander takes inspiration from the horned lizard, which is where it gets the spikes on its back. These spikes aren't just for defense, but also for attack -- the Charmander can ignite them to glow faintly or fiercely, depending on its mood. Unlike its Pokearthian kin, Mirror Charmander has a covering over its tail that allows it to submerge itself completely in water and survive. It still doesn't like to get wet, though, so be prepared: trying to bathe any kind of Charmander is a painful exercise.Mirror Squirtle has a shell harder than diamonds, which is why few species will try to eat it. However, it was overhunted for quite a different reason back when it lived outside the Distortion World. In the past, their extravagant shells were considered a status symbol, and the species was hunted to near extinction for them. As the crystals on their back were reflective, Giratina noticed their plight, and extended a tentacle to help them flee into the Distortion World, where there were no humans to hunt them. To this day, the Mirror Squirtle still live and thrive in the Distortion World. They embody a literal representation of the diamondback terrapin.More Mirror Pokemon are on the way!
