SO I was not aware of Blastoise's French name. I honestly only know the English names and some Japanese names. Translation things like this happen all the time in media and this is a purely hypothetical anyway. Tortank's French name would obviously have to be Blastoise now, just to further the confusion 😂
Starting back in Gen I, the localization of Pokemon names in French has an interesting history. French culture has a rather unique opposition to loanwords or any outside influence to the French language which is enforced by the French Academy, a sort of cultural and linguistic regulatory body of which there is no counterpart in English. Most Pokemon names in languages other than English and Japanese are a "literal" transition of the Pokemon names in either one of those languages, but the French Pokemon names are the exception. The majority of French Pokemon names do not attempt to "French-ify" the English or Japanese names and are instead totally unique creations. Sometimes they're even better, such as Zubat and Golbat being Nosferapti and Nosferalto respectively. A lot of this info comes from Nob Ogasawara, the English translator of the first 4 gens who did an amazing interview with Did You Know Gaming.
Hello Pragmagik I have an idea If this region became 2 games like scarlet violet Then turtanator and drampa could be exclusives and counterparts like oranguru and passimian Love the content keep it up ❤❤❤
Yes! I was so disappointed when I realized that Spidops doesn't evolve, so this was perfect to see! And the amount of concepts that fit into it without the visual design feeling overdone was amazing!
Honestly I could see Arakakara being an amazing Pokemon paired with something like a Future Sight Galarian Slowking or something, and if it keeps Stakeout, even better. You False Retreat into Slowking, who'd bulky and can respond with an attack, status, or setting up a future sight for later. Then once it swaps itself back out, Regenerator heals off the damage it sustained if it was attacked, but if they swapped in fear of Slowking, then Arakakara comes in and nails the switch in with double damage. Depending on stats, this thing could be a monster
It would be cool if Dramparade had a signature move that protects allies and adds the normal typing. Like a version of safeguard. Only useful in doubles, true, but plays into the inspirations you have for protecting against spirits since it makes them immune to ghost moves.
@@JacobPDeIiNoNi Pretty much. Give it a LITTLE more going for it than Soak, Forest Curse, Magic Powder and the like, with maybe 5pp. The safeguard aspect also makes it useable on it's own too.
I had a similar thought that Dramparade should protect it's allied from ghost moves. I went down the path of having it as an ability though, something like a ghost type lightning rod.
I love Tortank. It might be confusing since it is very close to Blastoise's French name Turtank, but easy fix is clearly just to call it something else in French if it was a real Pokemon. I suppose in that case it would be a non-issue, but I could still see it causing some international confusion.
I love that you went with a split evo for Barboach as a tribute to your mods 😭 It's so cool to see a gen 9 pokemon like Spidops get an evolution. Arakakara looks sooo cool! I had a viewer mention how much they liked a Spidops fakemon evo recently and immediately knew it was the one from this vid. What a great and memorable design!
I'm so excited to see more info about Devhar region!! It's one of my favorite fan regions, it's so original and creative! And since India is the most populated country on Earth and an entire subcontinent with such a unique and wonderful culture, you really hit on something great
Dude every single fakemon / regional form / evolution you make / display on your channel are SO AMAZING. Pokémon seriously needs to hire you. I’d love if every single one of them was true
False Retreat would be a NIGHTMARE in Singles. You mean I can fake switching, and if the opponent guesses wrong they'll be stuck eating a mini-First Impression that _WILL_ confuse them? It'd be banned from OU on the grounds that everyone would hate playing against it. It would make Toxapex look like a fun opponent.
As a part Manipuri person myself, it's nice to see some representation for an often overlooked part of not only India, but all of Asia, so, no doubt, Dramparade would be one of my favorite dragon type Pokémon!
I love how you do your research to give all these fake Pokemon more depth and have them make sense to your region or to the concept of the Pokemon itself 🎉🎉
You're doing gr8 job representing India in this fan region of yours. What wouldn't be cool is a new Bewear form/evolution based on the "Chipko Movement", which is basically a non-violent resistance aimed at protection & conservation of forests from being destroyed. So I can imagine it hugging trees with its arms spread around the tree's trunk to defend them from loggers. But given this is a relatively simple design idea, I wouldnt be surprised to hear there already exists a Bewear form based on just that. Oh well, I'd still like to see your take on it cuz I studied about it just a few weeks ago for my Geography test & I think it's a clever concept I came up with.
With Bisharp & Duraludon getting a new evolution in G9, it's safe to say that any 1st or 2nd stage (with no Mega Evolution) no matter the BST can receive a evolution which is exciting to hear.
You are right about the Spidops haters hating it... I'm one of them XD I mean, I think it is a good concept, but I don't like how it looks. However, that new evolution you came up with is such an absolute unit and I love it. If that was its final evolution officially, I would no longer avoid that line
I like the blend of concepts for Klawrbor. It'd be cool to have on a team with other large plant-animal pokemon such as Venusaur, Torterra, Tropius. Could maybe throw in an Alolan Exeggutor, (certainly large and plant-like, but not all that animal-esque), and a Meganium, (a decent but simple plant-animal fusion, but on the small side), to fill out the team.
Barboonch's design looks so freak 'in awesome and I would love if it was a real Pokémon, I also love that it has the same typing as Sharpedo another two stage Pokémon I love.
Dude, the drampa evolution made my day because I love the Pokémon and when I showed my friends my rainbow drampa card they said it was fake because they didn’t even know the Pokémon! Basically I’m saying I’m happy because someone FINALY acknowledged this fantastic Pokémon!❤❤❤
i can see the psychic beads actually being really cool cause it works with all psychic moves, stuff like calm mind into stored power would be dope lmao
It would have been nice to see the Mega Evolution of Meditama, where it goes totally into a higher being level or a God level where its eyes goes fully open and all shining with knowledge and some other things around it (as I cant totally come up with this moment 😅).
Hey, I don't know if you're done for ideas, but I've been interested in a very unrepresented culture, the Garo people, in Northeast India. They have many awesome pieces of folklore, particularly the Wakmangganchi Aragondi, a 7 headed mountain pig, and the Ajaju, a tall, Chameleon creature with many tongues and the ability to mimic voices. They're so unique so could make excellent fakemon! 😊
I'm making my own Pokémon region as well, but unfortunately can't draw any of them due to a lack of skill, interest in learning and knowledge. However, your stuff is still a big inspiration, and I'd love to see my own Pokémon stuff be just as good quality-wise as yours, love the content
I've had an idea for a third evolution for Starmie called Starmageddon. This idea was inspired by Evangelion, more specifically inspired by Ramiel's design and attack style. I even came up with an ability called Doom drive that would either boost special attack each time a beam attack is used or boost beam attack damage by (1.3 or 1.5x)- (similar to technician or sniper). I also came up with two possible typing's which are psychic/steel or psychic/rock. Starmageddon would have a lot of defense and a high special attack stat. I would love if an artist can design this idea and maybe even suggest it to this channel for review.
Drampa is like a grandpa Pokémon so it should get counterpart that is Grampma or Drampma where it's a ground dragon (or ground/normal) grandma looking Pokémon. It could be protective of its owner lore wise like a grandma would be with her grandkids. Maybe it's gimmick is where it surrounds the Pokémon after them a ground type shield. You would have to use a super effective (to ground) attack to destroy it otherwise it goes away after 3 turns. It could also have a move that heals a random ally Pokemon (like grandmas help mom/dad with their kids and like how they cook/care for them restoring health.)
I actually have 5 fakemon of my own. Their names are Sharctic, its evolved form Megaberg, Blastquito, Heatfly, and Magmantis. Species names- Sharctic: The Ice Shark Pokémon Megaberg: The Iceberg Shark Pokémon Blastquito: The Mosquito Pokémon Heatfly: The Fire Fly Pokémon Magmantis: The Mantis Pokémon Sharctic looks like a small blue and white shark with ice on the fin tips and teeth made of ice. Megaberg looks like a large glacier in the shape of a shark with glowing blue eyes. Blastquito looks like a large mosquito with a flamethrower end in place of the typical stinging thing mosquitoes have. Heatfly looks like a giant fly with flames on its back and head. Magmantis looks like a large red humanoid mantis with fire wings and bladed... arm things that mantises have.
I do like how you made Turtonator’s fan-made evolution the same way as the Pangoro evolution that was shared in another video of yours, while also referencing to how one gets a kingambit by having bisharp defeat three bisharp who are leaders of their own respective pack.
These new evolutions were epic! I'd recommend making a new pokemon based on the Indian superhero Shaktimaan. He's one of the OG superheroes from India who originated during the 90's. And the character is now also getting a solo movie soon. Trust me, people will go crazy from happiness if you make a pokemon based on Shaktimaan
I'd like so see more baby pokempn again. Kangaskhan. Tropius and Skarmory are the first 3 that come to mind for me and newer gens seem to have so many standalones that make a pokemon not feel complete
A second gen Pokémon that's based on a mythical worm. It's basically known for being "promising" but never delivering on that promise. People had imagined it evolving into a dragon but when it finally got an evolution, it just had an extra body segment.
The reason Dudunsparce is basically Dunsparce with one extra segment is because the entire line is supposed to be based off the joke youkai the tsuchinoko, which roughly looks like Dunsparce and is known for rolling itself into a hoop and rolling around.
Thank you so much for the arachnophobia warning. Just yesterday, I watched another Poke-tuber who created a spider-based Pokemon and used a video of a tarantula with no warning (at least not out loud. I had my eyes closed and only peaked to see if he had moved on, only to be met with said video). A verbal and visual warning is very helpful.
As a Indian sikh, that Arakakara looks so good you putted punjabi assent in its design like that turban and beared absolutely loved it 😊and kesh actually means hairs i thought you meant different something
I was really keen for Tarountula, thought it had a goofy design. Sadly I felt like Spidops was a bit of a let down, it’s art is super cool but the in game model just couldn’t do it justice. So seeing it get some more love with a fan design like Arakakara is super cool.
I would like there to be counter to Roserade that is like a fire or ice grass type bipedal Pokemon. There being a psychic ghost variety of Mismagius. A counterpart that is like a fighting/flying type Togekiss.
I love the new designs I think the issue with any cross generation evolutions is it devalues any of the original, which in some cases they weren't used to begin with, they should've just made the ones you've shown as they're base evolutions
Honestly as Sikh I love Arakakara, and the inspiration is great and love the representation. But oh god I almost died with the pronunciations (once again I know you tried your best but holy heck)
KIND OF late but signature move idea for arakakara: Webbed Scimitar. Bug Move. Arakakara takes 1 turn to weave its webs into a scimitar, and deals 130 damage the next turn. The damage is doubled during harsh sunlight and charge up is reduced on Grassy Terrain.
I love that meditama's focus beads have an added effect beyond just being an evolution method, I'm not a huge fan of when items get added for the sole purpose of evolution
Don't know if anyone already stated it, but Tortank is actually already used by France to named their Blastoise. I love the name Arakakara, the design of Meditama, maybe it also could have a mega as its counterpart Medicham (though, obviously, not all branch evolution have megas to both of them - Slowbro, Glalie; but they're cases in which both branched evolution got a mega, e.g. Gardevoir/Gallade). Barboonch is also quite great design and I even also love the mangrove Pokémon Klawrbor, though, its name is a bit difficult to pronounce.
I would just like to say for future reference that meditaion is about clearing your mind for a way to escape reality, not having your mind full at 2:13
SO I was not aware of Blastoise's French name. I honestly only know the English names and some Japanese names. Translation things like this happen all the time in media and this is a purely hypothetical anyway. Tortank's French name would obviously have to be Blastoise now, just to further the confusion 😂

Hello Pragmagik
I have an idea
If this region became 2 games like scarlet violet
Then turtanator and drampa could be exclusives and counterparts like oranguru and passimian
Love the content keep it up ❤❤❤
I’m very happy turtonator got some love in this video because it was the Pokémon that made me get into the franchise.
Can u guys try to make a gba version of this
Did you know that Tortank is the French name of Blastoise 😅.
He must have known 🤔 But then why not saying anythong about it
So in French, we’ll name it Blastoise
@@danielnkunga6640 yes
I do now 😁
its okay the english and german names for charmander and salamance are swapped so im sure theres worse
“It’s wholesome as heck!”
Drampa Dex Entry: *Are you sure about that*
Which one?
@YAYAYAYAYAYAY503 I would do that😅
@@jasonprantner5727lol the yay yay yay in the username of the guy you responded to made this comment so much more hilarious😭
I think I like arakakara the most, from it design to the new move it gets, and I also just like strong looking pokemon, amazing work as always🎉
Yes! I was so disappointed when I realized that Spidops doesn't evolve, so this was perfect to see! And the amount of concepts that fit into it without the visual design feeling overdone was amazing!
ARAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAK

Arakakara should exist so the worst Pokémon evolves into something good
yesssssssssss

Whoa! Thats some awesome fakemon right there! Keep up the work and a awesome thank you for the artists making this video possible!♥️
Tru dat
They are so talented !

The name should be Festival Veil
I Wonder if Dramparade’s shiny is colored Black?
6:52, "from Ambush Pokémon to I am bush Pokémon" 🤣
Now we need a barboonch emote
YES
When I saw this I just thought autocorrect corrected barboach evolution to barboonch emote but now I understand
The Durian Tsarenna Pragmagic showed us in a previous episode would also be a good fit for this region.
I love Tortank. It might be confusing since it is very close to Blastoise's French name Turtank, but easy fix is clearly just to call it something else in French if it was a real Pokemon. I suppose in that case it would be a non-issue, but I could still see it causing some international confusion.
It's actually tortank, like, the exact same name lol, we'll just call him Blastoise in french then
Nah, Blastoise is called Tortank in French. So just change this one to Turtank.
@@lestudioyokai Ah I see I got it confused with the German one Turtok
Fun fact: for some reason, “Mauville City” is in Johto in French, but a Hoenn city in English.
I love how bulky Arakakara is, its so imposing

are you fluent in english

Ughhh can Pokémon just hire Fakemon artists already? These are so great. Globally expansive (without being surface level 🥴) and well thought out.
Well there would still be people who hates it though
@@ZidaneKianoCan't please everybody.
Nothing is universally liked.
I have never realized there is no pure Bug-type 3-stage Pokémon line right now.
ADHBUUDHAM!!!! ❤😊😂 YO, INDIAN HERE. YOU NAILED THE DEVHAR EVOLUTIONS FOR THE POKEMON!!! YOU'RE MY FAV FAKEMON RUclipsR NEXT TO RON AND MYKEL RYAN.😁
I love how you do your research to give all these fake Pokemon more depth and have them make sense to your region or to the concept of the Pokemon itself 🎉🎉
Arakakara is possibly my favorite fakemon design....ever. Its so INSANELY good.
Every single one of these designs is immaculate. I'm ready to adventure through Devar!

Watching people create pokemon regions. I learn more about the place the region was based off if than I ever learned in school
Barboonch looks amazing and the concept is also really cool

I just found this channel, this is my first video ….but oh my goshhhhh I love this designs and the idea of your region , imma go binge ur channel❤
I love how Dramparade becomes fluffier and rounder on its underside and Turtank becomes sharper and spikier on its back. I adore Pokémon parallels✨

The Focus Beads must've been what Hans Riemann used to beat Magnus Carlsen that one time.
I actually have 5 fakemon of my own.
Their names are Sharctic, its evolved form Megaberg, Blastquito, Heatfly, and Magmantis.
Species names-
Sharctic: The Ice Shark Pokémon
Megaberg: The Iceberg Shark Pokémon
Blastquito: The Mosquito Pokémon
Heatfly: The Fire Fly Pokémon
Magmantis: The Mantis Pokémon
Sharctic looks like a small blue and white shark with ice on the fin tips and teeth made of ice.
Megaberg looks like a large glacier in the shape of a shark with glowing blue eyes.
Blastquito looks like a large mosquito with a flamethrower end in place of the typical stinging thing mosquitoes have.
Heatfly looks like a giant fly with flames on its back and head.
Magmantis looks like a large red humanoid mantis with fire wings and bladed... arm things that mantises have.
Spiders is my favourite bug type
And now with its new evolution "Arakakara", It's even BETTER
12:40 Tortank is the French name for Blastoise xD So yeah cant be used I guess ^^'
I love how Devhar is coming along. Definitely feels more thematic and connected to India than Paldea does with Spain.
“From the ambush Pokémon to the AM BUSH Pokémon” had me rolling
Dude dramparade has gotta be one of my favorites of these, I wish Pokémon would work on making Pokémon like this
Paldean Klawf: I ambush people.
Devharian Klawf: I am bush, people.
Really impressed with the art and lore/background of each new design-you got a new sub here
Your rapid firing these videos dude!
I do like how you made Turtonator’s fan-made evolution the same way as the Pangoro evolution that was shared in another video of yours, while also referencing to how one gets a kingambit by having bisharp defeat three bisharp who are leaders of their own respective pack.
3:46 look at it’s tail it’s pac-man
These new evolutions were epic!
I'd recommend making a new pokemon based on the Indian superhero Shaktimaan.
He's one of the OG superheroes from India who originated during the 90's. And the character is now also getting a solo movie soon.
Trust me, people will go crazy from happiness if you make a pokemon based on Shaktimaan
0:57 Every time you come near it, ,,drums of liberation'' starts playing
I have to say, the designs you’ve co-created for this project have been consistently amazing! Loving this work ❤
I've fallen in love with Meditama, it's such a cool idea and a perfect split evolution for meditite
False retreat would go crazy in competitive.
Would definitely be very prediction reliant (bug isn't that strong of a stab type after all)
But ye, it would be crazy
I'd like so see more baby pokempn again.
Kangaskhan. Tropius and Skarmory are the first 3 that come to mind for me and newer gens seem to have so many standalones that make a pokemon not feel complete
THANK YOU FOR THE SPIDER WARNING!!!
Should’ve had Meditama’s ability called Enlightenment
True that, true that
Why does Barboach evolve into UGIS
I woulda turned spidops into Pavitr Prabhakar (Indian Spiderman)
Your inspirations are incredible. Admirable work!
“The great Deku tree”
Now I have an understanding of why Midoriya looks like a bush.
Meditama makes the meditite line an A tier instead of a c tier for me! Amazing design and shiny!
My God, this dude has so much knowledge on literally anything and I don’t even know what’s a Dunsparse.
A second gen Pokémon that's based on a mythical worm. It's basically known for being "promising" but never delivering on that promise. People had imagined it evolving into a dragon but when it finally got an evolution, it just had an extra body segment.
The reason Dudunsparce is basically Dunsparce with one extra segment is because the entire line is supposed to be based off the joke youkai the tsuchinoko, which roughly looks like Dunsparce and is known for rolling itself into a hoop and rolling around.

As a Indian sikh, that Arakakara looks so good you putted punjabi assent in its design like that turban and beared absolutely loved it 😊and kesh actually means hairs i thought you meant different something
This fakemans are so good, they look like actual licensed pokemon

fun fact : tortank is the french name of blastoise, so you may have to change the name to avoid confusion for frenchs people like me
Honestly as Sikh I love Arakakara, and the inspiration is great and love the representation. But oh god I almost died with the pronunciations (once again I know you tried your best but holy heck)
I’m glad you gave Drampa some love I hope he makes it in in the dlc
I think the regional klawf would’ve worked more as a convergent klawf, being a literal tree, not just a tree crab a tree that’s also a crab.
Arakakara is so insanely cool. As a big spidops fan you've done it justice!
KIND OF late but signature move idea for arakakara: Webbed Scimitar. Bug Move. Arakakara takes 1 turn to weave its webs into a scimitar, and deals 130 damage the next turn. The damage is doubled during harsh sunlight and charge up is reduced on Grassy Terrain.
This man putting in more work than the entire Gamefreak team...
Klawrbor is sooooooo lit!!! Mangrove roots looking like legs works SO well for a crab design!!!
I love that meditama's focus beads have an added effect beyond just being an evolution method, I'm not a huge fan of when items get added for the sole purpose of evolution
11:30 thank you for including my tribe
I swear, gamefreak needs to give this man a job in their company
These are some of the best fakemon I've ever seen
Mangroves remind me of my home in Florida. And now I really want a manatee pokemon - as manatees are my favorite marine mammal.
Extremely well-thought-out as always
Don't know if anyone already stated it, but Tortank is actually already used by France to named their Blastoise.
I love the name Arakakara, the design of Meditama, maybe it also could have a mega as its counterpart Medicham (though, obviously, not all branch evolution have megas to both of them - Slowbro, Glalie; but they're cases in which both branched evolution got a mega, e.g. Gardevoir/Gallade). Barboonch is also quite great design and I even also love the mangrove Pokémon Klawrbor, though, its name is a bit difficult to pronounce.
I would just like to say for future reference that meditaion is about clearing your mind for a way to escape reality, not having your mind full at 2:13
Still waiting for a pikemon to be based on "Kathakali"🙂
Klawrbor has my heart forever
Love that reference to the gooch catfish in Barbonch. I wish that more dark natured fish would be referenced in Pokémon.
Really surprised at the amount of research done on India for the Dewar region.... waiting eagerly for more stuff
thank u for the arachnophobia warning! saved my night. wish more people would start doing that
