I love the character designs in this.
Also on page 17, the two leaders of team B remind me of pokemon. Not specific pokemon, mind you. Just pokemon.
Well, the guy on the right kinda makes me think of a Gardevoir or a Serperior. The guy on the left looks like some kind of super angular bird. Dunno what.
Looking at that page again, I almost want to complain about how long their necks are, though. Didn't notice it the first couple glances but suddenly it jumped out at me.
