COMPLETED: 66 GOAL: 649
I'm still working on a couple of Pokemon that have me stumpted, so I thought I would post Azurill. I actually made him awhile ago, but hadn't posted yet. I was inspired by the game Pokepark 1. I thought he was pretty cute bouncing on his tail throughout the game. So I created him with that in mind. You will need some pipe cleaners to create his kinky tail.
