48. Venonat



Form: 7. Venonat takes the form of a furball insect larva. While its long antennae and large compound eyes attract studious attention, its teeth and poisonous coat give it a dangerous quality. Its V-shaped head hairs add to its likable features, but the nose and teeth just look out of place, and its limbs are quite simple.
Color: 9. The "purple=poisonous" principle is undertaken ...

NOTE: The official art has been corrected for each Pokémon. Also, Caterpie has one new Favorite Rendition.

46. Paras



Form: 7.5.

How it's supposed to hang from a cave ceiling with those, I don't know. Its ears look perfect for echolocation, and its large, open mouth is ready to eat crumpets and suck blood... and it's all out of crumpets.
Color: 7. Though it has but two ...

About time I updated BDP, ah? I'm not a big fan of the Balloon Pokémon family, but I did my best to forget bias. Here you go!

39. Jigglypuff



Form: 6. Now, most would just call Jigglypuff a circle with stubby limbs, but to be fair, let's look at it as it's intended to be. Its body expands when it sings, gets angry, or wants to be lighter. So, a spherical body shape makes sense. Its enormous eyes also ...
