Haru with Dragon types would work well! Plus, her outfit kind of resembles Lance's colours. I think her and Lance would be good friends.

yes haru is born in the year of the Dragon - 1988. same as me! woooo! anyhow if I remember correctly every elite 4 has a ghost/dark specialist? that would Mami for me..

on that note I always picture Mami wearing sleaveless shirt with tight leader pants with a ponytail hair. that's just my thing btw.. xD

Review of my first team :

Diance (if he is simply equivalent to Mew,Celebi,Jirachi,Manaphy and Victiny, he should not be too overpowered i think? And being Rock/Fairy give him a poison resistance that is interessting for fairy team. Also inspiration for your design. Still need to see him to say yes or no for this one i guess)
Togekiss (Must be in this team)
Sylveon  (Same)
Whimshicott/Klefki (They would have that same prankster role and Klefki having immunity to poison and steel resistance could be better than Whimshicott with a double poison weakness)
Azumarill (Fairy being resisted by Fire, Steel and Poison, Water can be great for this team)
Mega Gardevoir/ Mega Mawile (Gardevoir would probably fit better i think + he have super effective STAB on poison type. Mega Mawile would give a chance to Whimshicott to be a better pick then Klefki)

Also starting to think about Dragon type team. There are so many good dragon this type still being the strongest one with an average base stat of 610. With the fairy immunity to dragon, it only make dragon less overpowered but still a really strong type.
The mega-evolving pokémon of that team would be Garchomp i guess? Latias and Latios also have mega-evolution I think but not really sure. Also it could be an other type pokémon who mega-evolve to Dragon like Charizard-X, Ampharos or Sceptile.

Between Kelfki and Whimsicott, I gotta say Klefki does sound like the more wiser choice, but I love Whimsicott a lot so I'm biased LOL
idk either is fine with me. I do like Mega Garedvoir over mega Maxile though.

Tyrantrum must be on Haru's Dragon team. Maybe she could use him first as a stealth rock setup.

@Crei I like you design idea. I can kinda picture it in my head and I like it >:3

Random thought: I think Champion CAN-TA should use a Spinda of some sort  

I think with Gardevoir, Klefki will be the best choice. With Whimsicott, instead of getting a pokémon immune to poison, we get one that have a x4 weakness to it. And if we don't have that poison immunity, 5 pokémon of the team have that poison weakness.

Tyrantrum for Haru will be good because of how so many dragon have that X4 weakness to Ice and Tyrantrum is the only non-legendary pokémon with a STABED super effective move vs Ice pokémon (other than Charizard X) The best typing would be Steel/Dragon for resisting Ice, Fairy and Dragon with only weakness to Fighting and Ground and super effective on Fairy and Ice. The problem being : only Dialga have that typing.

Other pokémon that i think could be good, Dragalge for his poison type that give him fairy resist and super effective vs them.

Trying to avoid having too many x4 weakness to Ice is hard. Otherwise my team would have Dragonite, Salamence, Flygon and Garchomp or something like that but i think having only one or maybe two of them in the team will be enough.

And the other possibilities are Hydreigon, Goodra, Haxorus, Altaria (x4 Ice again) and Kingdra. All good pokémon really don't know what would be the best. Actually didn't mention mega-evolution that are also possibilties and all legendary dragon that are not really possibilties I think.

Actually going to try those team on Pokémon Showdown to see how good they can be but can't do it for fairy now because of Diancie

I wasn't 100% satisfied with the Haru design so I drew another one up.


Is this one better?

Actually i think both are really good. I think i prefer the last one but also really loved how that red thing was in the previous one.

Actually had to do concept like this in class recently. And you make me feel bad about what I gived to my teacher at the end. The level was not even close compared to your's.
 I guess i'm just as bad as i was thinking at doing concept art on photoshop I prefer animating my 3D object instead of conceptualyzing (is that a word?) them.

I'm glad you made another Haruna sketch! I actually like elements from both drawings.
I like the fur from the first one but prefer her top and earrings from the second.

I think SCANDAL would be impressed with what you've made so far~ ^_^

Hmm ok so there's parts from both that you guys like. I guess I can join them together? Keep the fur the way it was in the first pic but add the corset from the second pic?

I really want that 3DS ; o; Especially since the one I currently have is having some problem with it's wireless communications :/

EDIT:
Ok so I finally drew something for Mami.



I know it's not as flashy/glamorous as some of the others, but I just kept thinking "loose, flowy pants" and "jersey" when thinking of what to dress her in LOL
At least her pants are glittery?

So yeah, is this good or should I try something more flashy/glamorous?

whoa! nice drawing of MAMI! and HARU too.

hmm.. i think a pony-tail with that outfit will look awesome since its boy-ish(style).. my opinion only.. calm down. xD

about HARU. i agree that the previous top suits her better..

i wish SCANDAL can see your art.. its really good.

^Thanks! It's really not that great tho haha

Anyway, I gave Mami a ponytail!



I think you're right. It does fit better

Also, I can't decide which one I like better D:



The one on the left (the original) feels more concise, but it also feels like it's lacking something. I really like the top of the one on the right (it's designed after the torso of a mega Garchomp) but it's not connecting with the skirt all that well. idk what to do @n@

Oooo the Mami one looks good so far! The jersey and loose pants work well.

Hmm, I think for the Haru one, you could try changing one of the colours from the top to match the silvery sparkle of the skirt part. Maybe the black sides or those white triangles, that kind of resemble dragon teeth? I think the red part should at least stay.

I want that 3DS too! But only reason i would have a second 3DS would be to trade between X and Y version. Don't think it's really worth getting 2 3DS only for that xD.

Ono, you're saying that it's not that great but, seeing how from the first Haru to what you have right now, the progress not only of the design but also of the quality of the drawing increased i think you can make it that great ^^ (if it's not already)

Also agree with you, ponytail fit better on Mami. Also the design make me think of the Dark type maybe?

For Haru, when i saw the first one with the corset, I was thinking you made the fur go around her arm because of how it would look weird with the fur going in front of her hidding the corset. Actually what look weird i think from the last one is that with the separation between the corset and the dress hidden behind the fur, it look like it is the same thing continuating and because color from one part to the other are not the same, it look weird. I think it would need a hint of the dress behing under the corset like seeing the dress in the upper part or seeing the end of the corset. That's what i think but i don't really know.

Actually making the room where they would be could be fun too (OMG my head is making it something too big, like creating gen 7 from the idea of scandal behing elite 4 LOL)

ohhhhh!!! wow! you did the MAMI pony tail! nice! looks better in that outfit.. goodjob! and thanks! and yes. you my friend draw amazingly good.

about the two HARUNA drawings.. hmm.. the left one looks perfect to me.. @_@

->the alternating red/silver/red works unlike the 2nd which overflows with red.. maybe you can accessorize the 1st like add a choker necklace or something or even make her shoes high-heels and you really should put the "joker tear" that HARUNA has on in YokoAri, you know the glitter thing below her eyes.. that's unique.. last time I've seen it is on Destiny Gundam.. just sayin' XD

From that Mami design, I feel like she would use Dark or Ghost types  .cool. 

OK, so I tried all the things you guys suggested and it still didn't look all that right. But I think the reason why it just didn't want to look concise was because the glittery silver skirt and that corset just don't match. So I created a version where the silver skirt is gone and replaced with something that actually goes with it lol



Now the decision is which one is to be the final design. The original or the new one?
The fur on the new design is now not so much a long strip of fur but rather something like a jacket. Where you just put your left hand in and bring the head of it around your right shoulder.

Also, I was thinking about the Tomo design and I think I'm gonna give her earrings. Big, playful earring like the pixel hearts she wears in her ENCORE SHOW outfit.
Except that what the earrings will be will depend on which type we decide she will specialize in. I'm thinking Ice or Electric. Those are my top two choices haha

the new skirt is fabulous~ but strangely i still like the 1st one.. a lot.. 

it has this HARUNA feel to it.. @_@
yes! dark/ghost for MAMI with punk/rock BGM.  
i can imagine that MAMI art with a Haunter behind her staring menacingly at us.. :O

oh TOMO.. wow.. let's see.. it has to be playful and wonderful.. lol    
and the earrings. one electric and one Ice - one on each ear. that would be soo cool!

WHOAAAAA nice artworks !!! *O* 
I need this Pokemon SCANDAL version !! :O

The same for me !! >.< 

"Imagination ?!
What are you doing ?! 
IMAGINATION !!!
STAHP !! >0<\"

Ono why you make this so hard to choose? Both are so great that I can't choose the one that I prefer lol.

for the type we have :

Rina : Fairy
Haru : Dragon
Mami : Ghost or Dark (Actually didn't think about ghost at first but when you say it could be better. And I think Ghost would be stronger than dark for monotyped.)
Tomo : Electric or Ice (Electric make me think of a team with Thundurus (Prankster) in a rain team.)

@Panda My imagination didn't stop after 7 gen. It created 3 universe where Scandal in Pokemon would exist. First one being a gen 7. After was thinking if a Z version come, it could be possible. And then the one that I love the most : Pokemon Stadium 3 on Wii U with gen 6 ( yeah i was a big fan of Pokemon Stadium on N64 and was really sad a 3 never came out with gen 3 xD) The idea of Pokemon stadium 3, I was thinking about how the new thing nintendo announced with Super Smash Bros 4 where you have figurine saving information that can add thing to your game could be in this and how you could train your Pokemon from handheld version in the game and how those figurine that you can get in your Pokemon Stadium could be transferable to your 3DS game with maybe sometime exclusive thing or Rare event Pokemon and things like that. Maybe actually Scandal Elite 4 would be made in figurine and be in a sort of challenge mod where only scanned figurine would be and then i thinked, wow i'm going too far LOL (NINTENDO MAKE THIS HAPPEN)

@Ono Sasazaki:
For the Haru one, I'm leaning towards the second one more. It feels more "Haruna", you know? (Outside of her typical leather jacket of course x) )

For Tomo, a pixelated lightningbolt and snowflake could be nice. I love it when Tomo shows off her fun earrings like that. Like these metal-star ones from a while back:

@Captain Panda Thank you~

@Lexian I feel like I'm leaning more towards the second one too. If anything it's because we've already got Tomomi with her glittery cape and Mami with the glittery pants LOL And with that glittery skirt/top, too much glitter???xDD

Also, we need to decide on what type Tomo will specialize in really soon. I unintentionally started the final pic for Tomo lol



I vote for Ice. I know it's got way more weaknesses than Electric, but I'm biased, I guess. Ice is my second favorite type haha Plus ice is just so pretty  .happy.

I'll vote for ice too! It's got a bunch of pokemon I'm sure Tomo likes. Lapras, Dewgong, Snorunt, Swinub, Glaceon....maybe even Jynx! xD Since Tomo is known to be a total foodie, maybe throw in a Vanilluxe :D

noo~ but i like the 1st one.. :<

anyway agreed at Vanilluxe. definitely.

^You're talking about the first Haruna design?

SECRET BASE NEWS FOR ORAS!
http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/the-secret-is-out-on-super-secret-bases/

yes the 1st Haruna design.. I mostly like it because its drawn better.. the 2nd is more solid and consistent tho. my opinion only.. XD

wait.. new Pokemon games are coming this November!? is that a remake of the GBA games? wow!
