Please enter- we probably won't do these pokemon again in this challenge even if no one made them, so even if you didn't make them for this challenge, just enter!

I usually get what i want, just it has so many rips it's more like kirigami than origami. Then i make it again and it works better, and so on until i have a design.

Okay, it's november now, and unless someone says 'please make it another month' we are onto the gen 3 ledgends probably until the end of December.

For my(or anyone else's) reference, these are the gen 3 pokemon:
-Regirock, Regice, Registeel
-Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza
-Latias, Latios
-Jirachi
-Deoxys

If this list has missing/incorrect pokemon feel free to point that out :p
I'm planning to make Deoxys since it'll be a pretty interesting color change but only if i have time.

I'm thinking the normal form where one arm is the tentacle-like one and the other is a regular arm

Seeing as it is now December, i think, because December, as you all know, has christmas in it, i think, in a festive and a free kind of mood, for december, you can make any pokemon you like, whether it has been done in this challenge, or by someone else or not. Have fun with this, you have until new year!

Two deoxys?
The pokemon doesn't have to have been made for this challenge, it just has to be your design, if that helps anyone who can't be bothered designing now, but has done in the past.
Also, please note seeing as this month is a free challenge, i don't know what you'll make, so if you enter a pokemon into this challenge that we do in a few months time, you won't be able to enter the same model twice.

Here's my Deoxys!

ImageImage
Side view: got to put 5 fingers!
Top view: Do you see the stripe on the arm? :D

designing time: ~2 weeks
folding time: ~6 hours... i think?(2 box pleating/2 folding base/2 shaping)

48x48 box pleating, 45 cm uncut tissue foil square
Really satisfied by all the color changes in the model but didn't like folding it nor the end result too much since I used tissue foil(but shaping was easy :P).

I'll go draw out the crease pattern now before I forget it... (And maybe I should start studying for my finals. lol)
