#jingell

Today's entry in the Paradex is perhaps the most overthought: the bell-festooned cats, Jingell and Bellboyant. The first entry in the dex to require more room than my template permitted, this design originally had even more text to it than the pictures above. I'm entirely convinced that the only reason these Pokémon were scrapped is because they're hard to draw with the GBC sprite limitations.

Bonus Lore: Bellboyant has a reputation for being fierce and uncaring. This myth is perpetuated by people who’ve never seen or heard Bellboyant’s graceful charms and its tenderness toward loved ones.

Design Notes: The original designs for their signature moves are listed under the cut.
