Plusle and Minun evolution concept

So I came across a competition to create Pokemon mega-evolutions. It seemed like fun.
But then I went and chose subjects with almost no potential. Plusle and Minun are minimalistic, chibi and use a heavily over-used-in-Pokemon body type. Plus they're basically pallet-swapped Pichus. At first I was planning to make them fast looking quadrupeds (like the Pichu->Pikachi evolution crossed with Linoone) but my draft wasn't recognisable or cute enough.

So I can't call these "mega" so much as just a concept for normal evolutions. Unsatisfied, I didn't bother entering the competition. Might as well upload it though.

I'd like to say the clumpy legs are something todo with grounding or magnetic fields, but that'd be a lie; I just found it cute.

Here is my test run of the fur, where I learnt it from and an alternate version of the Plusle.
