    This is something I thought about a LOT when I was 9 years old. I always wanted to try designing them myself, but I could never really draw anything that suited my brain's satisfaction since I wanted immediate results alongside just not being able to draw very well lol. I was very surprised to see your tweet and also see it start a new trend (and even seeing a friend of mine blow up).

  • @mauroperez2848
    @mauroperez2848 3 месяца назад +7

    The idea of pokemon being slightly different based on which ability they have is a cool idea. It would invite some nice creativity to their designs though it could come with a cost regarding competitive battles. Players can easily determine what abilities the opponents' pokemon have by recognizing their altered appearance, removing some surprise tactics.
    Regardless, this is a concept that I wish was explored more.

  • @Vanilla-qk5dr
    @Vanilla-qk5dr 3 месяца назад +1

    I have a dumb idea so here it is: Some Stemas don’t seem to fit in put in the wild, so to differentiate from Pokémon, make them only accessible through labs that can be found, where you have to fight a trainer for each lab, and different labs hold different stemas. I also think it would be fun to have hard scientists protecting the advanced labs, where multiple types of stemas can form in.

  • @Mathee
    @Mathee 3 месяца назад +1

    I really like the sillier onesXD That said, if this was to actually be adapted in the games, I could see it maybe working only with hidden abilities, and probably even then for a select few. The starters seem like it would work, since all the starters basically have the same base ability, just changed to apply to their main type, and then they have the hidden ability which is more unique. I feel like that could work

Of course, this is just a possibility, not a suggestion and we have no idea if this game will or won't get a sequel.

    At the time of this post, I just started the video, and I would like to say that Gen 3 introduced both form changes, and abilities in the Pokémon games. Game Freak could have done form changes based off of abilities starting with Gen 3, but it would be difficult because then they would have to take into account of other factors to fit each form.

    I have to tell you, there are 3 types of light receptor cells. Rods, cones and light sensitive ganglion-neuron-cells. Those are also in the retina and primarily focus on the motoric side of light sensation, like the reflex to turn your head to movement, to close your eyes because of movement and to change the size of the pupilla.
    btw. i like your ideas, but i see why you think it is not likely an option for mainline pokemon.

    Could you make a Fakemon based off of carbon? Also don't have it evolved but have it combined with other Fakemon to basically create a carbon dioxide Fakemon and a methane Fakemon by having it combined with an oxygen Fakemon add a hydrogen Fakemon and so on and so forth ...
    Also what if are you way to distinguish video game from Pokemon to make it feel different and not a Pokemon rip-off is to have instead of catching your Fakemon to have them on your team how about when you fight them they drop animal parts like bits of fur and teeth as well as little orbs that represent the periodic table or other materials and you basically combine these objects in a mad scientist chemistry set kind of thing and maybe do a Cooking Mama mini game to determine how good their stats will be like IVs in Pokemon

    I think ability "stances" could be really cool and more realistic. SV is already experimenting with multiple stances (out of battle, battle, flying, swimming, etc). For example a Raichu with Static would be more curled up and defensive looking, while one with Lightning Rod would be more active with its tail sticking up.

  • @genarftheunfuni5227
    @genarftheunfuni5227 3 месяца назад +5

    This is something that is both cool, but at the same time, a completely bad change. Here's a couple reasons:
    1- An entire bloat of new designs: Now, as cool as this concept is, we have to remember a little something... abilities didn't exist in Generations 1 and 2. This essentially means redesigning a lot of the Pokémon to have more variants. This isn't like when they gave over gender differences, where the changes were small, and not all Pokémon received them.
    2- There isn't just one species: There's something else this causes, and that's having a lot of different variants mixed on one Pokémon. Things like people being split on "oh i love arbok", "which variant", "shed skin", "dude that looks like, awful, intimidate arbok is clearly the best."
    3- Predictability: By doing this, you give away what your strategy is in multiple Pokémon. As an example, pick Clodsire. You never know if Clodsire is gonna run Water Absorb or Unaware. But doing this, the design clearly gives away what they're doing. The only predictions are in the movesets, but it's not as game changing as having to battle Clodsire on what strat it is, besides analyzing the team composition. Or Urshifu, on team preview alone, you don't know if it's Single or Rapid Strike. The prediction becomes a thousand times easier, and it makes competitive Pokémon less of a mind reading game than it already is. Which in my opinion, hurts multiplayer battles, because there's less gambles and brainpower required on winning a game.

    A good way to make this work ingame while still preserving the base desighn would be to have them transform when the ability activates.
    Like for examples gallade gets hit with a dark type move and as the stets raise he changes form.

    I’m hella interested in this because this is such a unique idea and I plan on using it in my own region.
    I just need to build up the motivation to work on it :/

      @@Ashera5469 I haven’t named it at all, I just call it California Region or a random collection of letters when I make a project doc for it

    the idea of a pokemon having the gimmick of changing form (and possibly evolution) per ability is a cool concept i hope game freak does at some point
