Winning this was an awesome feeling and it was super fun to design Zarcoil and (half of) Frizzard's megas. Thanks man, for the opportunity and for picking my entries.
your render ia just perfect!!! are you open for guiding people who are striving to reach that level? some tips and that kinda stuff would be pretty usefull 😅😬 congratulations!
I’m just imagining a funny skit where a Mega Roadraptor is soaring through the air with a trainer on its back, and the Mega Evolution runs out and dissipates midair, and they both look down, dumbfounded, before falling. Like a Wile E. Coyote skit.
Not sure if its intentional, but I love how Mega Porygon Z seems to be a nod to the Pokemon Red and Blue glitchmons (Context, in the original pokemon games, there are glitchmons. A lot of which has a new type called a "glitch type," which gives it no weaknesses, but no resists either.)
@@MerryThiccmas in gen one it was a glitch type, if you did the glitch right and caught Missingno, then it would be the bird type. It has no weaknesses and no resistances if i remember. Correction: it wasn’t a glitch, but it was just cut mid production, and Missingno was a bird/normal type, so i think that Mega Porygon-Z would be a sick nod to that honestly
Yeahh! Its here! Im so happy with how all the megas look! Huge thanks again to Jxgxvxm and the dev team with creating the mega roadraptor design! It was a huge collaborative effort between us all and im super proud with the outcome! Huge thanks to Jack aswell for rendering the megas for this video and the next ones to come!!
To be honest, the megas I'm hoping for the most are for the starters. My biggest gripe with X and Y is that the starters didn't get megas. They are supposed to be your partner, why not give them a cool new form.
Particularly egregious since Alola and Galar got the memo and gave their starters access to the fun. I doubt Paldea's starters will get unique Terastal forms like Ogerpon did, but it is simply a bonus in my eyes anyways.
These are all so clean; super proud of your community and chiming in with my favorites: Roadraptor and Laguna especially! The final pair came out so sick as well!!!!!!!!!!! keep it up jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think anyone will complain about new Mazah Content. These Megas are amazing. Makes me really nostalgic and a bit said, since there probably wont be new official Megas. Congrats to the winners!
Lets gooo!!! I'm really happy the video is finally here, all the designs are so clean. Honestly tho, the devs and Flareblitz contributed the most in the Roadraptor colab, I'm happy to be a part of it so thanks ya guys. Also Mega Laguna is still my favorite design and I'm glad the designs were in the same vid, looking firward to the next parts as well! Tanks Jack for making these videos and going out of your way to do this, that's really awesome.
I’m sad I missed the announcement for this, I definitely would have entered the contest. Congratulations to all the people who won and entered art, it’s all so amazing to see!
Mega Frizzard and Mega Porygon-Z where sick. Mega Frizzard had that body-language to where it looks slow and tanky, but hits like a truck. If it was animated it would fight brutishly and recklessly, I’m sure it would go up and slug someone, then shoot a point blank ice-beam.
The laguna mega is perfect, the transition of the evo line is very natural. I went through the mega submissions and i would love to see you illustrate the jumpluff (bandersnatch) mega or any macrabra mega.
Eyyyyyyyy Finally it's out! I also joined in the contest for the hell of it although I didn't win (mine are Mega Mimikyu's, Two of em, kinda like Charizard and Mewtwo) but despite not winning it was still a fun time. Thanks for the opportunity to compete Jack!
So it's been a while since you posted this video, when is part 2 coming out? And when do we get a look at the other gym leaders and other important characters? Since Valentina's first appearance back in October 2020 I wanted to see the rest of the gym leaders have videos where you draw and explain about them, but there hasn't been anything and I would like to know when is it possible to see more characters in the future.
These are so amazing! Love the collaborations and can't wait to see more from this series, props to everyone. All these designs are so great it's hard to choose a favorite but mega Roadraptor for me sells that fantasy of mega evolutions for me.
Mega Laguna was my favorite from this bunch. It’s adorable and while I’m typically not one for cute pokemon, they look so cool that I’d definitely want one on my team
I gotta say, I love mega laguna's design so much I love cute looking pokemon of course, and I already liked the laguna line, but not enough to plan on using it when I play the game but now? This thing will be in my team no matter what!! It's so adorable and so powerful looking and I just love it so much
I’ve had an idea for mega pyukumuku where he gets more back spikes to change the base design a bit with a more angry expression and he has an entire human sized boxer coming out of his mouth made of the white innards
It's awesome that you're learning 3D! It can be daunting at first for 2D artists, but it's a really nice skill to have and can help streamline the illustration process, say, modelling something real quick to put it in perspective If you're considering to continue learning 3D, I'd honestly give my recommendation to Blender over Maya. They are both quite similar and in the end get the job done, but Blender's toolset is much wider and more useful for hobbyists, whereas Maya is optimised as an industry modelling tool and as _modelling tool_ only. Sculpting and rendering are best done with programs other than Maya, whereas Blender has good enough functionality built-in. That's not to say that experience in Maya is useless, as you're still getting experience in 3D modelling which applies to any 3D modelling software. However, at some point you'll really start to feel the limitations of the program you're working with, at which point the differences between the two start to stand out.
This contest was really great, it was fun to draw these, and I even won. Thank you for holding this contest, also yokaiju version of what I drew was amazing. ( air conditioning dragon go pew )
I think Mega Ledian should have an ability that gives priority to punch attacks when low on hp, to increase the Shonen Hero aspect of it, maybe as a secret ability or something. Game Freak really missed the potential for Ledian in Sword and Shield, it should have had a Gigantimax form that referenced Ultraman, the character the pokemon was inspired by.
@@animefan25 oh, I can see it! Still, I think there is some reference to Ultraman there, considering so many early gen pokemon are based on the series, and Game Freak isn't afraid to combine references, I wouldn't be surprised if it was based on both.
I like how the Pokedex descriptions mix the power of the xy/oras descriptions, and the description of how these forms are dangerous when extended from Sun and Moon
I love these so much! The two lizards are definitely my favorites, the mons really needed some more appreciation! But each one deserved the spotlight, Laguna is INSANE, was in my top picks from the megas as well, really good job to everyone!
Mega Laguna is soooo good!! I love the way the tail looks both like a full moon and a big fluffy snowball. It really delivers on the theme of the Laguna line _and_ the ice type
Will say, Mega Frizzard looks smaller than normal Frizzard. I think this disparity is literally just the pose for me. I do love how Mega Frizzard just looks like Gigalith or Coalossal (aka Galarian Golem). It fits in well with established design ideas for Pokémon, while putting its ow spin on things. It looks like it could’ve existed in Gen 4
Love these designs! Just curious as to why Roadraptor’s mega ability is Gale Wings, seems a little redundant as it’s probably outspeeding everything with its massive speed!
I’ve always thought Ledian was such a cool design! All the way back when Gen 2 first came out. Glad to see it getting some love so I’d have to go with Mega Ledian!
Frizzard and Zarcoil really came around on me when I realized they're built like Megaman Mavericks/Net Navis and the megas play into it that aspect expertly
Dozens of new mega evolutions? Don't mind if I do! Loving all the creativity displayed by the community, enhancing the region to new heights it wouldn't have reached otherwise~
Glad to see the mazag region again, would love to see more of the non-pokemon aspect, official (jack drawings) of the dev teams gym leaders trainers rivals or a map update
Mega Laguna is definatly my favorurate, love it when the early route mon get attention an especially a mega design as cool and as graceful as this one!
I know it would be weird if potassopod had a mega but it would be cool if it made use of a Pokémon like Dhelmise at the same time, kind of like a shipwreck
Personally, while Frizzard and Zarcoil aren't my personal taste, there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. They look genuinely like pokemon one would rarely find out in a desert area. The megas are absolutely amazing and a huge kudos to Yokaiju (Hope that's correct) to the designs.
Thank you and yeah that's right on the name Frizzard was a team effort actually, Jojo and I made our own seperate designs that the devs asked us to combine.
Really miss the more cosmic ear pattern in Mega Laguna's original design, it reads a tiny bit more as an Ice type now (and Ice/Fairy is an excellent type for it, don't get me wrong), but its ears were what did it for me originally, what made me fall in love with that design
mega ledian is probably my favorite..its always been one of my favorite bug pokemon, and pokemon from gen 2. as for a mega, if it hasnt gotten one already..tropius. another favorite of mine
Remember when he talked about not adding any crab pokemon? Then made a regional crabrawler and a new evo as well as a regional krabby AND a regional evo AND NOW A MEGA FRIZZARD WHICH LOOKS LIKE AN UPRIGHT CRAB
Those are brill! Not a day goes by that I don't feel like Game Freak wasted the potential of Mega Evolution in picking pokémon that absolutely didn't need it instead of making forgotten pokémon more viable. That could have been some love for Smeargle, Sunflora, Ledian, Volbeat, Unown, etc, etc. Oh well.
Mega Ledian is exactly what a mega for Ledian should be - adding the fighting type, leaning in to the whole Super Sentai motif , emphasize the star patterns, and give it stats to make it actually usable. *Perfection*
Mega frizzard just looks insane. I think it’s hands bothered me the most. I really liked the details added. The moon rabbit is hands down my fav. Unlike the others it feels like looks similar enough to be a mega. I like the ledian design but it looks different enough to be a new third evo

Winning this was an awesome feeling and it was super fun to design Zarcoil and (half of) Frizzard's megas. Thanks man, for the opportunity and for picking my entries.
You absolutely killed it!
you KILLED it! i love them both! i didnt like frizzard and zarcoil much before this, but their megas are AWESOME! keep up the great work!
Their megas have become one of my FAVES from the mazah region, and pokemon in general!
Dude your art is crazy good !!!!
your render ia just perfect!!!
are you open for guiding people who are striving to reach that level?
some tips and that kinda stuff would be pretty usefull 😅😬
congratulations!
It was insanely difficult to narrow down the hundreds of amazing submissions we got to the final winners. Congrats to all of y'all!
I’m just imagining a funny skit where a Mega Roadraptor is soaring through the air with a trainer on its back, and the Mega Evolution runs out and dissipates midair, and they both look down, dumbfounded, before falling. Like a Wile E. Coyote skit.
Maybe the Roadraptor would keep flying for a while, but the minute it looks down...
Mega Laguna has such a Sailor Moon vibe to it, it's amazing 😍
The original submitted artwork for it actually did make a sailor moon reference with its shiny!
Not sure if its intentional, but I love how Mega Porygon Z seems to be a nod to the Pokemon Red and Blue glitchmons
(Context, in the original pokemon games, there are glitchmons. A lot of which has a new type called a "glitch type," which gives it no weaknesses, but no resists either.)
That was a big inspiration in the design process, yes
@@MerryThiccmasYou did amazing! I'm always a sucker for random geometric shapes
Definitely my favorite Mega out of these first submissions
I kinda wish that it got the Bird type instead of the ??? Type honestly. It wouldn’t be too far out either, considering it’s a digital duck.
@@wyvernknight bird type? wut
@@MerryThiccmas in gen one it was a glitch type, if you did the glitch right and caught Missingno, then it would be the bird type. It has no weaknesses and no resistances if i remember.

Same
Same! When/where was it announced?
To be honest, the megas I'm hoping for the most are for the starters. My biggest gripe with X and Y is that the starters didn't get megas. They are supposed to be your partner, why not give them a cool new form.
This! Posting a video today fyi
Particularly egregious since Alola and Galar got the memo and gave their starters access to the fun. I doubt Paldea's starters will get unique Terastal forms like Ogerpon did, but it is simply a bonus in my eyes anyways.
It should have happened in Z or X and Y 2
I agree
These are all so clean; super proud of your community and chiming in with my favorites: Roadraptor and Laguna especially! The final pair came out so sick as well!!!!!!!!!!! keep it up jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The mega porygon Z entry sounds like an SCP document.
My man really turned roadraptor into a legiana from monster hunter
These are so amazing! Love the collaborations and can't wait to see more from this series, props to everyone. All these designs are so great it's hard to choose a favorite but mega Roadraptor for me sells that fantasy of mega evolutions for me.
The video starts at 5:33
yep ive definitely watched this entire video in 30 seconds and can confirm its good
edit: the video starts at 5:40 btw
closer to 5:34 i think
thank youuuu, so much pointless stuff at the beginning
@@IriKoro rude >:[
Mega Laguna was my favorite from this bunch. It’s adorable and while I’m typically not one for cute pokemon, they look so cool that I’d definitely want one on my team
Do we get a part two?
It'd be funny if Mega Porygon Z's shiny was just entirely a flat purple so it looks like its textures just didn't load in
I gotta say, I love mega laguna's design so much
I love cute looking pokemon of course, and I already liked the laguna line, but not enough to plan on using it when I play the game
but now? This thing will be in my team no matter what!!
It's so adorable and so powerful looking and I just love it so much
This isnt a part 2 yet pls dont forget about part 2
I’ve had an idea for mega pyukumuku where he gets more back spikes to change the base design a bit with a more angry expression and he has an entire human sized boxer coming out of his mouth made of the white innards
i didnt even knew there was a contest, but big congrats to the winners and particiants!
These are so cooooollll!!! Thank you for revisiting Mazah for us ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Saltitan. Mega Ledian is my new favorite mega of any Pokémon game, fan or official!!!!!!
I am so happy we get more Mazah content! thank you Jack for your dedication to this seemingly never-ending project! :)

Game Freak really missed the potential for Ledian in Sword and Shield, it should have had a Gigantimax form that referenced Ultraman, the character the pokemon was inspired by.
Wait a minute. Ledian was based on Pulseman, a character from one of their earlier games.
@@animefan25 oh, I can see it! Still, I think there is some reference to Ultraman there, considering so many early gen pokemon are based on the series, and Game Freak isn't afraid to combine references, I wouldn't be surprised if it was based on both.
I just finished binge watching the whole series for the first time, I’m so happy to see more
Man, you’re the best. Amazing artist and humble to recognize others. Keep it up!
I like how the Pokedex descriptions mix the power of the xy/oras descriptions, and the description of how these forms are dangerous when extended from Sun and Moon
I love these so much! The two lizards are definitely my favorites, the mons really needed some more appreciation! But each one deserved the spotlight, Laguna is INSANE, was in my top picks from the megas as well, really good job to everyone!
Mega Road raptor kind of looks like a Secretary bird! That's amazing!
I really love how mega Laguna incorporates the full moon.
Mega Roadraptor reminds me of the Savacou, a lightning bird from Taino mythology
I remember coming across you when you were at
I was the one that designed ledian! Super excited to see what u did to it. (Also sorry my username is so hard to pronounce 😂)
Ledian, zarcoil, and roadraptor were my favorites. Im definitely adding all three to my team when the full game comes out
I love mega Laguna’s silhouette, it looks like a ringed planet
Mega Laguna is soooo good!! I love the way the tail looks both like a full moon and a big fluffy snowball. It really delivers on the theme of the Laguna line _and_ the ice type
This bunch of megas is AMAZING. Amongst the coolest stuff in the region. Great work.
These are absolutely amazing; I love the moon bunny! These megas were really great; Stellar work’ and Ledian was cool too
I can imagine Jack as Gru in that "guys I have bad news" meme but replace bad news with "Mazah region updates"
Is Sunflora getting a mazian form since its type was changed to Grass Fire in the untamed demo just like ekans?
Where is the part 2😭
Will say, Mega Frizzard looks smaller than normal Frizzard. I think this disparity is literally just the pose for me. I do love how Mega Frizzard just looks like Gigalith or Coalossal (aka Galarian Golem). It fits in well with established design ideas for Pokémon, while putting its ow spin on things. It looks like it could’ve existed in Gen 4
Hi,I like your art and do you have any recommendations for what I can try to draw fanart of ❤
Congrats to everyone these designs are amazing!! I love Mega Laguna and it will probably be joining my team!
I do really like the dolphin-like tail in the original Porygon design! It's lost in the final rendering but it looks great nonetheless!
Love these designs! Just curious as to why Roadraptor’s mega ability is Gale Wings, seems a little redundant as it’s probably outspeeding everything with its massive speed!
I’ve always thought Ledian was such a cool design! All the way back when Gen 2 first came out. Glad to see it getting some love so I’d have to go with Mega Ledian!
Darn i completely forgot about this comp! :/ oh well happy to get more Mazah and congrats to all the winners🎉
I feel like mega zarcoil could do with a few adjustments not to the design itself but to make the stance less stiff
Thank you for the amazing content, I would like to see the mazah starters mega evolved❤️🔥
Frizzard and Zarcoil really came around on me when I realized they're built like Megaman Mavericks/Net Navis and the megas play into it that aspect expertly
Dozens of new mega evolutions? Don't mind if I do! Loving all the creativity displayed by the community, enhancing the region to new heights it wouldn't have reached otherwise~
This is the single best ledian form I've ever seen, it's awesome
you say it like we‘d be disappointed that Mazah is not done yet 😄
keep em coming! ❤
Glad to see the mazag region again, would love to see more of the non-pokemon aspect, official (jack drawings) of the dev teams gym leaders trainers rivals or a map update
Every one of these Mazah region videos is SO MUCH FUN!!! My FAV from this batch is Mega Laguna!!!
love how mega porygon dex entry read like an SCP file
im in love with mega roadraptor =3
though the entire line looks awesome
Thanks for entertaining me. Lots of fun =)
Where's the part 2😭
Mega Laguna is definatly my favorurate, love it when the early route mon get attention an especially a mega design as cool and as graceful as this one!
Where is part 2?
That’s what I’m thinking!
these designs be slappin! well done yall!
absolutely amazing works!!
I know it would be weird if potassopod had a mega but it would be cool if it made use of a Pokémon like Dhelmise at the same time, kind of like a shipwreck
Are we all just gonna ignore the nasty segway into the sponsor. Very clean, good job.
I’ve been waiting for more of jacks lore character design videos they have been missed this year
Personally, while Frizzard and Zarcoil aren't my personal taste, there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. They look genuinely like pokemon one would rarely find out in a desert area. The megas are absolutely amazing and a huge kudos to Yokaiju (Hope that's correct) to the designs.

Excited for more!
Definitely loving the more Tokusatsu themed designed on Ledian would make a great rider counterpart to Lokix if Lokix gets a Mega equivalent too
Mega-Porygon's entry reads like an SCP
Where is part 2?????
Maybe after the next mega evolution video you can draw up some more characters for the Mazah region.
Mega frizzard just looks insane. I think it’s hands bothered me the most. I really liked the details added. The moon rabbit is hands down my fav. Unlike the others it feels like looks similar enough to be a mega. I like the ledian design but it looks different enough to be a new third evo
7:01 theres more lore dammit
Mega Laguna is a treat of a Pokémon design, what a great submission ❤️
i'm don't know if i'm more excited for the legendary megas or the starter ones
