Name: Larvite (LARVa + mITE)
Pokedex Type: Larva Pokemon
Height: 1'00" Weight: 2.3 lbs.
Element Type: Light/Bug
Description: Larvite is a small insect with two segments: its round head and its ovular body. Larvite's head is about the same size as its body. On the front of Larvite's head is its single large eye. The design is simply a circle inside a slightly larger circle. The eye is entirely yellow. Larvite also has two wing-like appendages sprouting from the upper sides of its head. These wings are about half as big as its eye, and are tattered-looking, with four pointed 'digits'. Larvite has 4 tiny legs on the bottom of its body, which end in points. On its rear is a tiny spike, its stinger. Larvite's body is entirely white. Its footprint is a tiny spot.
Pokedex Data:

They are born by the thousands in nests in trees. Many of them never live to reach adulthood.
-------------
Its wings aren’t developed enough to fly so it stays grounded, using its eye to find food in the dark.

Evolves into Luminite at level 22

Name: Luminite (LUMINous + mITE)
Pokedex Type: Searchlight Pokemon
Height: 2'02" Weight: 7.4 lbs.
Element Type: Light/Bug
Description: Luminite is now a three-segmented flying insect. Its head is round, with a yellow eye on front. The eye's design is a circle within a circle, but a set of lines connects the circumferences of the two circles. Luminite's wings are much larger, but still tattered-looking, with the four 'digits' from before. Luminite flies in the air, so its body hangs below it. Luminite has four sharp legs on the front of its body. The glowing abdomen is actually its three stingers retracted. Luminite's tail, when unretracted, is longer than Larvite's, and forks off into three stingers, each about the length of its thorax. It usually keeps these curled up and retracted until attacking. Luminite's body is entirely white.

Pokedex Data:

Its large wings generate static with every flap, which it uses to charge its stings.
---------------
It uses its glowing eye as a searchlight. The light flashes different colors to communicate.

Ability: Prism Body (Raises Special Attack if hit by a Light-type move)

LV 1 Tackle
LV 1 String Shot

Why does it need Volt Sting, out of curiousity?

Well, it electrically charges its stings, but if its not a good idea, I can change it.

Volt sting would be a physical electric (or bug, you didn't specify) attack usable by insects, it's existence is just as valid as any other move.
Besides, I like these a lot! layout is clear, no spelling errors that I can see, design is simple and still interesting, a solid suggestion all round!
One thing though, the segment
"Its abdomen is circular, and it glows. The abdomen is actually its three stingers retracted."
isn't necessary, as the proceeding sentences describe the same thing more clearly. Having both of these parts in the description may confuse people.

This seems to have the Electric-Light confusion of our version of the Lanturn line. On the other hand, it's kinda clear that Electric plays the role of the "tertiary" type here so I think it's okay.

Perhaps you could downplay the electricity aspect in the flavor text though.

By downplay, do you mean change the text in Luminite's first entry field?

Oh yeah! I just noticed that type dealie. I don't think that the suggestion is well-served by having a signature attack it can't get STAB from. I say make volt sting bug-type, we don't yet have one that inflicts paralysis.

Ah, okay. Any other things you think I should tweak? And should I change Luminite's first dex entry?

I'd try and leave in the "static" but take out the "electricity", since people are more likely to notice that word and then ask why it's not an electrical bug.

Gosh, I do love these. Very nice work. However, Larvite's second dex bugs (pardon the pun; unintentional) me, and not just because the first sentence is redundant with the "light energy to use its eye as a light" bit. Simply "energy to use its eye as a light" will suffice. It also seems that the two sentences, while adding to the Pokemon, are a bit mismatched in forming a dex. If I may offer some alternatives which you are free to take or ignore...

It concentrates energy to use its eye as a light. The energy can also be fired as laser beams. (94)

Its wings aren’t developed enough to fly so it stays grounded, using its eye to find food in the dark. (102)

If you choose to use the first dex there, I'd add in the moves Eye Beam and possibly Laser somewhere. I also can do stats, given the appropriate time to review the suggestions (which I will do on my lunch. I really want to help these guys get made. I love the concept so very, very much.)

Stats

Larvite:
HP - 34
Attack - 40
Defense - 39
Speed - 41
Special Attack - 32
Special Defense - 40
Total - 226 (Compare and contrast with other caterpillars' 195 and Surskit's 269.)

Luminite:
HP - 70
Attack - 75
Defense - 61
Speed - 66
Special Attack - 75
Special Defense - 67
Total - 414 (Compare and contrast with other caterpillars' final stages with 385 and Masquerain's equal 414.)

I feel that those stats look pretty good of what I was thinking they would probably be. And I was trying to compare it to other bugs, like Ariados and, like you said, Masquerain, so I think I'll use these.

If you mean word on approval of this entry, then it's gonna be a while yet since we operate on a chronological basis. We are working on implementing a less time-consuming system, but we need to get all the staff together first @~@
