Pokemon Generation V Auditions

Taking a break from gift art stuff and whipped this out. I had an idea in my head and I just HAD to draw it.

Generation V is on its way, but so far only two new Pokemon have been announced. Who will the new Pokemon be?

A bunch of (mostly) retired anime mascots standing in line. Can you name them all?

Art done with Copic markers... except for the text and the dots in the background.

Okay, no more guessing The answers are below:

Pokemon - Piplup and Pikachu
Magic Knight Rayearth (and Tsubasa, sort of) - Mokona
Tenchi Muyo! - Ryo-ohki / Ryououki
Inuyasha - Kirara
Lunar 2 - Ruby
Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind - Teto
My Neighbor Totoro - Totoro
Digimon - Agumon
Card Captor Sakura - Kero / Kero-chan
