Mmmm... well, I guess if any of them really HAD to be destroyed, Yveltal would have been the one. I think the FB requester will be disappointed, but really that is for the best...
Gardevoir was one that I toyed around with several different combinations before I found one that seemed to be most cooperative to recoloring. I think originally I had the colors reversed, but talk about eye-popping! I never thought about keeping more of the original white, though plenty of the Nuclear sprites do, in fact, have elements of white thrown in. I might go back and do some tweaking on her.
So sweet of you both to go comforting her, though! I've got a plot bunny in the back of my mind about her, so I may do a fic sometime in the near future (once I get the fics I'm working on closer to completion/publication, anyway...)
Look forward to seeing your writing then, Eevee~! By the way, CURIE isn't too happy with what I did, but they understand what was at stake with that one. Rather not tempt fate with that one- we already have enough trouble handling Mewtwo and Suicune...
There there, Gardevoir. Bad things happen to good people, but it isn't you fault that you couldn't stop it. Some things are just unavoidable...
Like the wind, I come and go as I please... but I am always there to provide a comforting breeze.

Thanks! I actually have something in a beta read right now that will probably get posted in the next week or two (not related to the sprites, it's actually a more in-depth look at the Epsilon sidequest). I'll be sure to post a link when I have it uploaded!

Well, you saw what happened the last time someone enraged them! Next time, getting a 300+ paged book slaped in your face and not just a clipboard...

Yay, looking forward to see FanFiction....

"You know it was just a dream, a horrible nightmare conjured by a mind horrified at what the Pokemon at Epsilon had become. But even as your faithful companion nuzzles you affectionately, eyes shining brightly with both love and concern, you know the damage has already been done... you will never be able to see your loyal friend the same way again..."
- Paraphrased from upcoming fanfic release "Epsilon"
Beware approaching a Nuclear Dramsama; it harbors a terrible grudge against humanity for their role in the meltdowns that shook Tandor. If it sees any human, it will attempt to punish them by trapping them in a horrible illusion of the nuclear disasters that Dramsama itself endured.
Special FB Request: "Missingno" / "Nuclear Missingno"
A FB user sent me this image and challenged me to make a Nuclear sprite out of it...
I was given completely free rein to name it and come up with a compelling backstory, so... this is what I came up with!
What happens to a Pokemon when something unforseeable goes wrong in a trade? Do they return to their Trainers unharmed... disappear and cease to exist... or does something else happen to them entirely?
When data errors occur in a trade -- whether by glitch, deliberate hack, or rogue viruses -- many Pokemon are tragically torn asunder by the digital turbulence. Many times, these shattered pieces vanish into cyberspace, and the entire Pokemon itself fades into non-existence. However, if large portions of their internal code remain intact, they can exist as ghosts within the machine, glitches in and of themselves. These poor fractured souls, if discovered in a PC Box, can easily corrupt and destroy all other Pokemon they come in contact with. To the few Trainers who have encountered these horrifying glitch-Pokemon, they are commonly known as "Missingno".
On very rare occasions, these Missingno fragments can combine with one another to form new varieties of Missingo; while their code is inherently more stable, they are still capable of random glitches that can wipe out entire boxes of Pokemon. If Missingno fragments are fused as a result of powerful electromagnetic pulses from radioactive sources -- such as an atomic bomb -- they can become Nuclear Missingno; these highly aggressive and corrupted mutations will actively seek to replicate themselves and spread, destroying any and all Pokemon they come in contact with.
If you come across any Missingno -- Nuclear or otherwise -- it is always best to destroy them immediately; attempting to "take mercy" on them and keep them for rehabilitation will only result in the damage and corruption of far more Pokemon than the one you are trying to save. If you are so inclined, be sure to say a special prayer that Arceus will take pity on their fractured souls in the afterlife.

Ugh... I don't even want to give the latter thing to CURIE. NEVER.
.....even if I actually like the backstory you wrote.
And in some way, I like the nuke-version of orchynx frostydeer made a while ago a little bit more... even if I cannot really explain why, sorry for that.

Thanks. I definitely had an "are you freaking kidding me" moment when that came up in my requests. But the story was fun, and the sprite (while a challenge) was an interesting nice change of pac.! I'm not 100% happy with the Krabby legs, but I had copied/pasted/erased/redone them so often at that point that I just went with it.
Yeah... no, I'm like you -- I like @frostydeer's Orchynx better myself, particularly with the metal bands. I put my nuked starters up on FB last week, only to come here and see that one (great minds really do think alike!). Admittedly, I'm rather fond of mine's eyes, if only because that part was a pain in the arse to draw and I was just happy to come up with a halfway acceptable outcome with them.

We already have a nuclear Missingno; several, in fact. What do you think happened to all those Pokémon in those PC's at the Nuclear plants? Fortunately, they are quite obedient to my command.... maybe because they feel a kinship of shorts.
That Dramsama on the other hand..... we will decide if its appropriate addition to our forces.

Those nuclear starter sprites are great, and they couple well with the fanfic that was as well written and compelling as it was mildly chilling. Very good job!
