Strictly my own opinion ofc, while I think gijinka adopts are very popular, sometimes they feel limiting in how they can be used as an OC. I personally have a hard time justifying some gorgeous gijinka out there because I just dont know what I would do with them. That said, your gijinka are gorgeous and Ive always adored your misdrevious and suicine designs. Im sure you would have zero issue with finding people to buy designs like that and if you're just looking to rehome some fun exercise characters, you'll be absolutely fine

An alternative could possibly be moodboard adopts? Buyers offer presenting moodboards instead of OCs. Or those emoji adopts where you or the buyer just play with a series of emojis and see what comes of it? I've seen a lot of popularity with both of those.

Price wise, Im not sure what would be best to suggest. You're still putting out very high quality art, so definitely don't undersell yourself. I've seen some people charge a lot more for adopts than I myself am usually up to paying at the same time people are fighting each other to lay claim first. I find it easier to spend more on commissions of characters Im already attached to over new concepts, but that's a me thing. If you're unsure about prices, auctions are typically pretty successful and can possibly help narrow down your range

Usage you definitely want to kick NFTs and AI usage in the ass from the get go, and probably want to include some sort of personal vs. commercial use for designs. Those would be the biggies I can think of

Hope my rambling here is a little bit helpful! I look forward to seeing what you do next!

That's so fair! I do think since my approach is primarily to use them as a fashion theme inspiration it would be reasonably easy to divorce them from the pokemon that they sprung from at least, but I definitely understand that gijinkas are a very specific niche of design.. I'm glad to hear you like them though! 🥺❤️ And thank you so much for the advice!!
