How do you usually find yourself coming up with ideas for new fakemon?
-It's pretty basic, really. Sometimes I see a weird animal somewhere, and try to make something out of that (like Matara). Other times I want to make a certain type, and start browsing other fakemon and different animals that might fit the typing (Chulember). I also visit wikipedia sometimes, and just start rifling through pages, looking for something interesting (Sprike).

What's your favorite fakemon that you've done?
-That might be Cascerb, but I also really like Arachage, Dehedra, Monolit, Matara and Occlusk (who will eventually get an evolution)

Ah, a few questions for ya.
1. Have you ever finished and uploaded a design you weren't quite sure about?
2. What kind of mindset do you strive for when you're coming up with new fakemon?
3. What's your opinion on the term "fakemon"?
4. What got you into designing fakemon?
5. If you could choose any three fakemon that you've created thus far to hand directly to gamefreak in the hopes of actually making them into true pokemon for an upcoming game, which ones would you choose?
6. Why Sugomori style?
7. Have you ever wanted to create comics or storylines featuring some of your fakemon and a trainer?
8. Have you ever finished a fakemon and been completely confident that it was exactly what you wanted?
9. What is the inspiration behind your current avatar?
10. Your semi-complete opinion on Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire as it stands so far? Personally I feel the lack of a major improvement over the secret base system sours the experience slightly, and I'm hoping they bring back the Battle Frontier. The other things they've shown so far look great.
-1: Loads of times. I almost always have things I want to improve after sumbitting. There has only been one fakemon I discarded after photoshopping. Some I discarded after drawing, others I haven't put into the dex after making them, like Tsetronic or Wallopod.
2: Originality, cuteness/coolness. Not sure how to answer that question in a better way :I
3: I got used to it, I guess. It only bothers me when people use the acute accent on 'Fake'
4: Pokemon, ofcourse. Also, regions like Pokemon Acanthite, and the Powermon series
5: Cascerb, Dehedra and Monolit
6: Because it's the official Pokemon style
7: Yep, but I'm not too good at drawing the same thing in different poses, or backgrounds.
8: ... I'm not sure. Maybe, but that thought probably changed somewhat later.
9: It's actually an older avatar; the whole group is here: Icon Collection I had always put a little white guy in my avatars, not really sure why '^^
10: I don't care all that much for the secret bases. I do really like the contests coming back. With the RSE story, I'm sure it'll be better than XY.

The thing I am looking forward to is: Could you possibly help me with creating a Pokedex for my Josen Region
I would be grateful for the help, because I cannot seem to get it to work right for me.
-Pokedex as in a pokedex template? Because I'm not gonna design a whole region of fakemon :I I can help with a template

Do you plan to evolve canon Pokemon in Orugoh? Or Baby Evolutions?
Have any ideas for unique typings like Poison/Electric or Ice/Fairy or Psychic/Ground?
-Claydol is already Psychic/Ground, right? Well, I do have Cactud and Nazcid in there (they respectably evolve into Maractus and Sigliyph) so I might put some more in I might do something with those other type combinations.

I have some fakemons in my gallery (Cherubell, Fallerihm, and Fallengle are the names), and was wondering if you could remake them? I would be so happy and grateful if you did.
What gives you ideas for making your own fakemons?
-I don't really do requests, and I'm not really planning on starting commissions up soon, sorry '^^
I answered the question earlier, but I pretty much can get ideas everywhere, at any time

Who is your best friend on dA?
Who is your biggest inspiration?
Do you think teaching art is hard?
Are much more lonely in reality than on dA?
Am I annoying you?
-HARD QUESTIONS I DID NOT EXPECT! I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings.
and 
came to mind, but this journal tells it better: Something about giving thanks
That journal also covers the second question, but I think
was a big inspiration as well.
Teaching art would be hard only because there's no real 'right way' to do it :I
I have friends (went on vacation for a week a month ago with 4 of 'em), but I'd definitely say so, yeah.
Not at all... GoombaPrince on the other hand

What do you think of my art? Any advice on the fakemon?
-Kinda wanna know how old you are to judge your art :I It's a decent start. I'd advice starting with drawing them on paper instead of on your PC. Try to draw inspiration from others you admire, use different patterns as design choices, and stick to one pattern per fakemon

If you were to do another region, what would the starters' secondary types be?
-Not sure. Grass/Flying, Fire/Electric and Water/Bug could be fun

What's your favorite Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game? If you own one of the games, what's the name of your team and the main members?
-Explorers of Sky I don't remember the team name, sadly, since it's so logn ago already, but I think I was a Luxray, and my partner a Ninetails. Also, the two Pokemon I took with me whenever I could were a Forretress and a Quagsire

A Journal Entry?! (about commissions)
I honestly haven't done these enough as of late (you can thank the Status Updates for that) but I wanted to shortly talk about something. Even after not having done commissions for a long time, I still very often get asked for them. I am now wondering whether or not I should start them up again, because I feel like I could make a lot of people happy by doing that. There's one reason I stopped doing them though; half the things I got asked to do, I didn't want to do, so if I do start them up again, I'll probably be quite picky with them, I'll likely only do one at a time, and make sure not to clutter my page with only commissions.
