First off, let me tell you this pokemon looks great, and I appreciate your proving that you do indeed know the true meaning of the word, "raptor".

However, I don't think this pokemon fits in with the line at all. It kind of feels as if you've put all your effort into creating a super badass beast, instead of focusing your creative energy into making an interesting final form for this pokemon.

Appa-Dee and Treemu were both flightless birds with definite connection to plants. Raptorist is a flying bird whose pokedex entry doesn't describe it as resembling a plant in any way, shape or form. Given the flightless tree thing the previous two had going on, I think a moa lookalike with a bit of California redwood mixed in would make an incredible final form, but instead, it's a flying bird that has no connection to the previous two or the grass type in general besides being green.

Don't get me wrong, the design itself is fantastic, and you're a hundred percent better and drawing birds than I am, and a thousand percent better at making fakes. There is more than likely a little personal bias going on, due to my being an apparent wall against being wowed by all things plainly ferocious and deadly. This would make a fine fake in and of itself with a little tweaking, it just doesn't feel right for this line.

I'll still say that I think Appa-dee and Treemu are some of the cleverest fakes I've seen recently.
