1:56 Due to all those metal spikes, I thought it's hidden ability would be iron barbs, especially since the only mons who already have Iron Barbs as an ability are spikey steel types like ferroseed and togedemaru.
Chesnaught stans unite! (And your version is EPIC. I love the shaggy pelt.) That being said, if offered one of these three, I'd definitely pick Fennecoy. The whole line is awesome, and I love how it's unabashedly faerie and very bard. The ear-wings and the fluffy pants are clever touches and totally sell what this creature is about. I'd have to think of some deservedly epic name for my Fennecoy... Piper comes to mind.
8:31 as a flute player i have to point out that the flute is pointing the wrong way. the hands are in the right places though so thats better than most media lol
I like that you did barbarians, and I love that bard I always play as a bard, and I like the monk but I feel like if you changed the pose because it looks to much like ninja but I still love how it looks
Was surprised you went for monk for greninja. Talking about sneak attacks with cloakie made me think rogue. Also, while there is no ninja subclass, it could have been neat to see the froakie line use the samurai subclass!
@@PragMagik completely fair! My brain just immediately goes to rogue when people talk about surprise attack. I haven't played Way of the Shadow Monk or heard about them so it was cool to learn about!
There's a legend in my country called Matinta Pereira, it consists of an old witch who turns into a bird during the night, then she will start to sing on people's roofs and will only stop when they promise to give her something. On the following night she will return to pick up what was promised, if they don't give her anything something bad will happen to the person. I always had this idea of a Flying and ghost/dark type delphox that is based on this legend, I even thought of a signature move called ominous bird, it deals damage and steals the target's stat changes, but if they didn't have any it would curse them, dealing damage at the start of every turn. But I need to say I loved your delphox design too, I like the bard class and this one feels amazing!

Hey, man! Really loved this video. My favorite part was you infodumping about D&D, and drawing comparisons between classic TTRPG tropes and the Pokémon designs you are influenced by. I could totally watch a full video of D&D + Pokémon content! Maybe that's something you'd be interested in in the future.
This video was such a treat, I love the D&D elements so much! The concepts and art on these designs are great, Prespin is the cutest thing with those little fangs!
I actually ADORE these! I just started playing D&D, and all the designs just hit that sweet spot! Personally, I'm probably picking Presnaught, but all the designs are so clean!
Most games I don't have a problem choosing a starter. There is typically a clear choice. If I got a game with these starters I wouldn't be able to choose for weeks
you had me in the first stage of prespin, i'd assumed the acupuncture bit was going to play into the monk class' supportive attacker role. but i absolutely clocked the drunken master inspo in frogalist. monks are such an underrated class in 5e. not to mention HIMEJIMA SWEEP 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Symphox absolutely is fantastic! Its bard inspiration looks brilliant and its design is awesome, particularly because of the fur in it's ears looking like fairy wings!
Fenniken is my favorite fire starter hands down and I don't understand how anyone could hate it. Although I do like its redesign and type swap - yeah, I'd still choose it. But the Chespin line's redesign puts it in the running for a choice too
i love this video so much! the fact u turned my favorite kalos starter into a bard based pokemon makes me so happy! im pin a campaign of dnd right now and seeing this gives me a solid boost of excitment for my next session.
Give me monk frog! 😁 Side note: for a hidden ability just give it iron fist. It´s the way of the open hand monk so just give it more punching power works or give it a new ability that gives its punching attacks a chance to flinch an opponent to refrence stunning strike.
Because of these three lines and their originals, we've got 6 of the 12 standard classes in 5e D&D. Are we gonna see videos about the other six one day?
also for symphox you can do a kind of vicious mockery style move, where it's a sound based move that is not affected by weaknesses resistances and immunities and deals stacking damage based off of the amount of weaknesses the hit pokemon has (obviously it can be blocked by anything that cancels out sound moves)
Imo the Dragon Steel, Fairy trío would be a good type trio. Yes I know Dragon is not supper effective against Steem but most Dragons learn moves that are.
You nailed all of these. I actually love the original Kalos starters(funny enough I prefer Delphox and Chesnaught over the more popular Greninja) but you and the artists nailed these alternatives. That being said we love all things fairy fae and bard, and Fennecoys line is the line for me.
it was fun trying to predict which subclasses you were basing these off of once I knew that was what you were doing, even if my predictions weren't always right
Love Fennekin and Braixen but not a crazy fan of Delphox, so I definitely prefer this version. Fairy-Type Fennekin line is so neat and definitely is absolutely amazing. Foxes are my favourite animal so I feel like this does my favourite animal more justice lol.
10:41 Wait, Bards can be Whisper-themed? Huh, gives a bonus layer to Raine Whispers, since they're a stagefright-prone Bard witch and they have a fox palisman.
I never really liked the original chesbin middle evo it was the weird, overtime I started to love him i don’t now why but i started to love the big lug and this just made me love chesben line more
So, Chesnaught would be a viking/berserker, Delphox would be a bard (I thought it was gonna be either a cleric or a paladin), and Greninja would be the monk? 🤔😕
This was fun. I've been kind of thinking about this a lot recently, I even posted this thought in the comments of 2 Fakemon artist channels the past few days, and that is Pokemon as Zoids, I think it could be a fun shift, and you could even do the inverse of turning some Zoids as Pokemon as a sister video to that one. For those that are unfamiliar with it, Zoids is a franchise centering around mechanical animals (some living, some prehistoric, and some mythological), with the anime series that has, which are quite a few now, positioning the Zoids as giant mechanized combat units that are based on various animals and creatures (Living, Prehistoric, and mythological); most of the Zoids anime series, but not all of them, focus on some heavy war stories with the primary characters being brought into the overarching conflicts in some ways. I have a few ideas on Zoids that could act as templates for the transition, but I'll only really share those thoughts when asked, mainly because I would like to see happens when my input is just the idea of the project, not actually going entirely off my ideas, for now.
Fairy type I really thought would be leaning towards Bard, as well, high Charisma, and I just could NOT see the Fennican line being Bards, you pulled it off super well!!! I thought it might become a Paladin with its middle. 😅
I look forward to the next one, given the aloha starters are prime for some cool new types. I can't exactly influence you on that, but my thoughts are litten dragon, popplio dark, and Rowlet fairy
3:53 It's because of the eyes and nose, at least for me. Plus, it doesn't evolve cleanly to Chestnaught, though maybe that's because Chestnaught becomes whiter in the final form. I'd definitely use Presnaught if this were the reality.
it wouldn’t be that long to get into the differences Wizards learn their magic, Sorcerers are born with their magic, and Warlocks sell their soul to a supernatural entity for their magic
I actually have had a mind for a starter trio for my celtic based region to be based on dnd classes as well the trio I went for were Druid (bear) (Grass), Bard(fire also a fox but fire ground was the plan and it having an ocarina) and Wizard (Puffin)for water (dinavation specific)
Fun thing about the Drunken style of fighting So apparently, the story goes that a master martial artist with some enemies went drinking one night and as he was walking back to his house, he was attacked by said enemies. He was absolutely smashed but he beat his enemies to a pulp like it was nothing! And that’s where we get the drunken style from.

Hey thanks your inspiring me
I think your link isn't working! At least for me.
Link failed
Petition for you to make a pokemon region based on Poland day 1
How much does the red magic mobile phone cost
DND nerd here, I absolutely LOVE how you based each of their stages off a different subclass! Especially Grenastic!
Same here
7:31 - Okay, as a fan of both the Delphox line and Fairy type Pokemon. I'm picking Fennecoy in a
heartbeat!
Seconded as a Bard Main!
Same choice from me, fellow Delphox enjoyer
YOU GET IT!
@@meganpayette5996 same bc I freaking love her so much.
SAME
Symphox : “I want to roll to charm the dragon-type”
Rest of the party: “Of course you do.” roll eyes.
With the Fairy type, the dragon is more likely to be intimidated 🤣
@PragMagik Which the dm is semi required to allow.
1:56 Due to all those metal spikes, I thought it's hidden ability would be iron barbs, especially since the only mons who already have Iron Barbs as an ability are spikey steel types like ferroseed and togedemaru.
Can't wait for Alola. Popplio is one of my favorite starters and idc what u say
I'm really curious what type it would be, it's just such a water fairy line, maybe a dark mermaid/pirate type
Poplio IS my favorite starter
I respect someone who sticks to their opinions even if people who disagree try to kill you.
I love Popplio! I wonder what type I’ll get? Steel? Dark? Psychic?
Poplio is amazing the uncultured are the only who dislike it
Chesnaught stans unite! (And your version is EPIC. I love the shaggy pelt.)
That being said, if offered one of these three, I'd definitely pick Fennecoy. The whole line is awesome, and I love how it's unabashedly faerie and very bard. The ear-wings and the fluffy pants are clever touches and totally sell what this creature is about. I'd have to think of some deservedly epic name for my Fennecoy... Piper comes to mind.
2 ad breaks in the same evoline was a fucking kick to the chestnaughts
8:31 as a flute player i have to point out that the flute is pointing the wrong way. the hands are in the right places though so thats better than most media lol
That could be intentional as well
@Thepurpleoracle81 i think its more likely that the art is just mirrored than intentionally wrong 😅
I like that you did barbarians, and I love that bard I always play as a bard, and I like the monk but I feel like if you changed the pose because it looks to much like ninja but I still love how it looks
Was surprised you went for monk for greninja. Talking about sneak attacks with cloakie made me think rogue. Also, while there is no ninja subclass, it could have been neat to see the froakie line use the samurai subclass!
Well since the original Froakie was a Rogue, why do you change him and make him a Rogue again?
Ninja qualifies as a more Rogue-ish class so I tried to go with something less like a Rogue
@@PragMagik completely fair! My brain just immediately goes to rogue when people talk about surprise attack. I haven't played Way of the Shadow Monk or heard about them so it was cool to learn about!
They're not just RPG classes, they're JRPG classes because western fantasy doesn't have Ninjas, just Rogues
@@BaithNa same thing
@BaithNa I mean, the jrpg genre conventions are adapted from western rpgs. and we do have plenty of ninjas, our monks are not western monks.
I think I would choose the Delphox line.
Hmm... I would if this alternate universe if these starters would get megas? Probably not lol
These are all so great I wouldn’t know which one to choose. The designs, the lore and the DND references are all outstanding!
Between the Quilladin/Chesnaught love and mentioning MIRACULOUS LADYBUG you got me real dang happy this time around ❤
There's a legend in my country called Matinta Pereira, it consists of an old witch who turns into a bird during the night, then she will start to sing on people's roofs and will only stop when they promise to give her something.

Don’t think I didn’t see you sneaking Magic: the Gathering art into your vid… I loved it! Great vid, Brandon!
I'm constantly impressed by the level of quality in both the art, ideas, and presentation. Super cool stuff!
This video was such a treat, I love the D&D elements so much! The concepts and art on these designs are great, Prespin is the cutest thing with those little fangs!
I actually ADORE these! I just started playing D&D, and all the designs just hit that sweet spot! Personally, I'm probably picking Presnaught, but all the designs are so clean!

Just play the game three times.

7:16 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH OMG, I LOVE HER SO MUCH 😍😍😍 (fyi fennekin is my favorite) .
BTW, I've always wanted to know what a fairy type version of her is like.
each design is dope as heck gren hit the gym del got pants and ches got a bloody fuckin axe
Bardest Bard that ever barded is the most barded thing I've ever heard
Grenastic is hecka sick! If I may drop a bit of poetics, I'd call him a certified *Battletoad.*
When i saw Greninja fighting type variant he reminds of Rivals of Aether Ranno 🐸 13:13
Fennekin looks so cute. I would choose it over the others everytime
Love the the story and idea for chespin and fenniken❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the wonderful and great work ❤️✨
Fenniken is my favorite fire starter hands down and I don't understand how anyone could hate it. Although I do like its redesign and type swap - yeah, I'd still choose it. But the Chespin line's redesign puts it in the running for a choice too
I choose Chespin when I got X Version, so definitely choosing Prespin too.
I wonder if I'd get a female first try as well.
What you did to the Chespin and Finniken lines is epic! 🙌
Did anyone else notice how each redesign is weak to the other non-redesigned Versions of each other?
i love this video so much! the fact u turned my favorite kalos starter into a bard based pokemon makes me so happy! im pin a campaign of dnd right now and seeing this gives me a solid boost of excitment for my next session.
7:19 pretty vegeta
P.S I love the designs of all of these, and I wish these were regional variants
I'm preparing a DnD game with my friends (I'm going to be an artificer Bugbear) and this is giving me good ideas to help my DM with characters
These are amazing! I love all of them so much. The Delphox is my favorite of the three :3
With how trevenart made quillash, i think they hate quilladin too 😭
I would say my favorite of this video is the Fecoy line! I love the bard ideas!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Delphox! 10/10 would put on my team immediately!
You upgraded my boy Fennekin! Fennekoy №1!
4:52 BRANDON HE/THEY USER THIS IS SUCH A DEMIBOY WINNNNN (as a fellow demiboy myself hi your so rad and i love how open you are about your identity
As a D&D player, these are SO COOL!
Give me monk frog! 😁
Side note: for a hidden ability just give it iron fist. It´s the way of the open hand monk so just give it more punching power works or give it a new ability that gives its punching attacks a chance to flinch an opponent to refrence stunning strike.
Because of these three lines and their originals, we've got 6 of the 12 standard classes in 5e D&D. Are we gonna see videos about the other six one day?
Just like how you don't understand Quilladin haters, I don't understand Delphox haters. It's my favorite design and it has an awesome typing.
Continue this series much more frequently. I am Brazilian and I love your videos, especially these ones with initials.
Kudos for making a Braixen I actually like the design of
Ya know i could still see battle Bond being a good hidden ability for the Fighting Frogs, since a lot of fighters pride what bonds they have
Making miraculous into Pokémon the miraculous themselves or the humans that hold them your choice
I mean, now we know he has watched it, anything can happen here
also for symphox you can do a kind of vicious mockery style move, where it's a sound based move that is not affected by weaknesses resistances and immunities and deals stacking damage based off of the amount of weaknesses the hit pokemon has (obviously it can be blocked by anything that cancels out sound moves)
Imagine if there were Pokemon/Trainer Fusions with these Starters... Possibilities would be possibly endless
Imo the Dragon Steel, Fairy trío would be a good type trio.
Yes I know Dragon is not supper effective against Steem but most Dragons learn moves that are.
You'll be pleased for what was done for Hoenn in this miniseries
Well, first stage should be ground type
The fighting type froakie line is my favorite
my favorite starter (fennekin), my favorite type (fairy), my favorite class (bard) and my favorite color (pink)? this is perfection
Idk why but listening to people giving ideas for pokemon and explaining ever little detail is really soothing ☺️
7:16 Me seeing fennekoy makes me feel like ginjaninja when they saw pegayuni (which is a fakemon that moxie made)
And @actuallyRea
You nailed all of these. I actually love the original Kalos starters(funny enough I prefer Delphox and Chesnaught over the more popular Greninja) but you and the artists nailed these alternatives. That being said we love all things fairy fae and bard, and Fennecoys line is the line for me.
Saying that you're going from RPG classes to D&D classes is like saying you're going from cars to automobiles
10:24 LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
YEAH YEAH YEAH LOVE IT LOVE IT
it was fun trying to predict which subclasses you were basing these off of once I knew that was what you were doing, even if my predictions weren't always right
genastic is basically Ranno from rivals of aether. they even are both monks
The concept if the monk greninja is dope.
My two favorite things! Pokémon and D&D! Chespin is my favorite starter of all time too
I’m gonna hug prespin because he’s the best of them all , he would never hurt a fellow steel type Pokémon
Love Fennekin and Braixen but not a crazy fan of Delphox, so I definitely prefer this version. Fairy-Type Fennekin line is so neat and definitely is absolutely amazing. Foxes are my favourite animal so I feel like this does my favourite animal more justice lol.
10:41 Wait, Bards can be Whisper-themed?
Huh, gives a bonus layer to Raine Whispers, since they're a stagefright-prone Bard witch and they have a fox palisman.
Fennekin is my favourite fire starter, fairy is my favourite type, and I love playing bard characters in DND..
I love love love the delphox line!🩷
I never expected a miraculous reference but this is fun!
I absolutely love these videos.
I never really liked the original chesbin middle evo it was the weird, overtime I started to love him i don’t now why but i started to love the big lug and this just made me love chesben line more
So, Chesnaught would be a viking/berserker, Delphox would be a bard (I thought it was gonna be either a cleric or a paladin), and Greninja would be the monk? 🤔😕

This has got to be my favorite episode yet (definitely not my D&D bias)
I loooooove the color scheme of the Fennekoy line! 💜💜
ngl I really love the idea of basing the starters on dnd classes!
edit: oh my god you did my man Delphox so justice, I love it a lot!
All of these are such good designs. I'd be STUCK at the Starter Choice screen for a while. Especially since I love D&D and all the classes represented
Fairy type I really thought would be leaning towards Bard, as well, high Charisma, and I just could NOT see the Fennican line being Bards, you pulled it off super well!!! I thought it might become a Paladin with its middle. 😅
Now this is what I’ve been waiting for
I look forward to the next one, given the aloha starters are prime for some cool new types. I can't exactly influence you on that, but my thoughts are litten dragon, popplio dark, and Rowlet fairy
I love Cloakie’s Evo. I played a blind Tiefling monk in a campaign. It was fun.
I knew froaky’s line was based off monks when he mentioned his version of frogadeer, I yelled “Way of the drunken monk!” Out loud
As someone who plays a monk, it was great to see Greninja become one!
So I am a DnD nerd, I've been playing for just over two years now and I guessed every class and subclass that each one was based on 😅
3:53 It's because of the eyes and nose, at least for me. Plus, it doesn't evolve cleanly to Chestnaught, though maybe that's because Chestnaught becomes whiter in the final form.
I'd definitely use Presnaught if this were the reality.
Amazing. I think this is the best video of this type yet.
where can i get this art i would love to include these in a ttrpg game i run
Seeing a fencing inspired starter made me happy as a fencer
I demand we get an entire video dedicated to D&D themed Pokemon, please
it wouldn’t be that long to get into the differences
Wizards learn their magic, Sorcerers are born with their magic, and Warlocks sell their soul to a supernatural entity for their magic
I actually have had a mind for a starter trio for my celtic based region to be based on dnd classes as well the trio I went for were Druid (bear) (Grass), Bard(fire also a fox but fire ground was the plan and it having an ocarina) and Wizard (Puffin)for water (dinavation specific)
I especially liked these type swaps given I also love dnd so it was nice to see the new designs and wish they were real
Please compile all Paradox starters in one vid. Unless you have one and I missed it. Scrolled down to 2 years ago to find one but to no avail.
Great video awesome concept.
I love how the new chespin look. It's so cute
And the 4th secret starter represents SWEET DIAGIONAL MOTION 🤩
So you just really took it upon yourself to fix Chesnaughts line? Thank you, he really needed it.
I want more of those DnD inspired starter pokemons, they are sooooo cool
Fun thing about the Drunken style of fighting
