I've wanted to see an exploration of some of the unused pokemon and characters. Its nice to see your personal art interpretation of them too. Thanks for discussing this.
Isn't Honoguma one of the starters from the SpaceWorld 1997 Demo? If so, it post-dates Arcanine so the idea probably wasn't recycled into it. Granted, many Gen 2 designs were made concurrently with Gen 1 designs.
The emolga reminds me of what a red panda does when it wants be threatening. If you don't know what this is, I recommend googling it, because its absolutely adorable
