I held off my optimism. I'm pleasantly surprised. It would be great to see a joke region based off of the American north east. New England New York New Jersey Pennsylvania. Plenty of room for memes and cryptids. The devil of New Jersey for example. This has potential to be a family friendly alternative to pokemon clover. I hope you take the satire and light hearted vibe and run with it. I think you're right. Great things can come from originally joking intentions
As someone who lives in New England, just an hour from Boston itself, I’d say that this is phenomenal acting! The outfit and accent are both great. Definitely make sure to destroy those r’s, though!
Kidkickoff- Grass and fighting. Gobshot- Fire and steel. Shrimple- Water and bug. Kidkickoff→ Rampetrun→ Goatopple Gobshot→ Chickboom→Turflare Shrimple→ Crawdid→Lobstar
"It's much harder for me to NOT draw a crab than it is for me to do... almost anything else" Carcinization hard at work even in art I see. Okay but Shrimple is PRECIOUS and I adore them, the heart tail and them being just eepy lil guys... shrimple is the kind of pokemon I would keep on my team, unevolved, purely for the vibes. And also, as a New Englander this entire video was both a vicious callout post and a loveletter. The turkey based fire starter had me rolling, I love the energy of all three being lowkey troublemakers. Feels fitting to the region.
It almost works where their only real weakness is the other starter types. Odd one out is Fire/Rock with an additional Ground 4x weakness on top of Water. Grass/Steel and Water/Ground are top tier defensively
Nah... I tell you what, I prefer this idea... Grass Fighting, Fire Rock, and Water Flying (don't ask me how a shrimp flies... it's not rocket science *wink*)... that way, you get four times super effective weaknesses, without giving the shrimp any advantages by making it only weak to grass and nothing else... you saw how broken Swampert was with that type combination... you can't just give that too the shrimpy boi... it goes against the bit!
THESE ARE LEGIT FAKEMON! All three of them are actually cool and odd ideas and I love the fact that it is both an April Fools joke and a serious video. 10/10 would love to see evolutions for these three one day!
I absolutely loved this, an April fools bait n switch where the designs are genuine yet still not taken seriously and meant to be jokey. I don't even care if this ends up just being a one off or a full series, this was shrimply wicked
I have wild turkies that hang out in the front yard of my house and the thought of baby Gobshots potentially creating fires around my house sounds anxiety inducing. Especially if they get into our tool shed. 😅
Prank or not, it's so fun to watch you make funny little guys, especially when they're Pokemon. I'd watch you make anything and respect your desire to make whatever calls to you, but I do hope Pokemon will stay in the rotation as much as you'd want it to be because nothing brings me joy quite like seeing you work on a Pokemon Design.
Ideas for speculative evolutions: Kidkickoff is definitely just going to become a stereotypical football player. Perhaps its horns encircle its head to form a helmet, even though that's already pretty close. Perhaps the name Patrigoat for the middle evo, and Quarterbilly for the final evo. I have an interesting idea for Gobshot though... What if its future evolution took inspiration from Petrels with their tube-like noses. Imagine two massive barrels on top of their beak resembling a shotgun. I'd recommend making them a fast offensive fire/rock type. (This totally not a reference to the spitfire bird from the future is wild, whaddayamean?) Perhaps the name Shellcluck for the middle evo, and Blunderbok for the final evo. And finally Shrimple: how about furthering its surfer inspiration? There's also the fact that lobsters keep growing throughout their life. So what about a wise old lobster on a board made of its former exoskeletons (also, I imagine them talking like Xavier, from Xavier Renegade Angel, but like, repeating their name over and over again). Maybe its middle evolution 'serves' a volleyball, again, made of its former exoskeleton. Perhaps the name Prawny for the middle evo, and Dudester for the final evo.
Kidkickoff: starts as the mascot, becomes a rambunctious fan with one of those giant foam fingers and maybe some snacks. ends looking like football gear holding an egg or a rock and gains the fighting type because... obviously. Gobbshot I'd imagine would reflect the revolutionary War history of new England, maybe evolving into a little soldier with a musket, and maybe ending as a general with a Sabre and/or a blunderbuss, going steel typing to make it the worst option lol. Shrimple I think should be something Lovecraftian due to New England being featured a lot in his work... and probably dark or psychic if so.
You probably saw this coming, but I would absolutely *LOVE* to see a new Fakemon region, especially one centered around New England. I think the Starters, while perhaps a bit more jokey due to the context, could be fleshed out just a smidge and still be decent (for example, a better name for Kidkickoff. It's a bit wordy). Their secondary themes are also pretty simple: - Kidkickoff would obviously evolve into a football player, perhaps Grass/Fighting or Grass/Steel referring to the tough nature and absolute punishment players take on the field in the name of the game - Gobshot could evolve into a bonfire or fireworks display, possibly with a Fire/Fairy or even Fire/Electric typing to reference their fiery and volatile nature. Plus, I just think the huge tail of turkey being a massive fan of flames would be amazing - Shrimple I think could refer to New England's historic nature, given how it was the site of the first and second initial colonies that would give way to America. Just the orthographic shots alone made me think of the blue uniforms, patriot hats, and coattails of the historic Minute Men and other contemporary figures; this could translate to Water/Fighting or even Water/Electric, mimicking old muskets and other firearms. New England is also often either the setting or launching point of many of H.P. Lovecraft's stories or media inspired by his work, which I think could serve as ample inspiration for new Ultra Beasts or even the Legendary Pokemon of the region. Granted, Eternatus already kind of fills this niche, being an unknowable Pokemon from another dimension with tremendous power, but the fandom seems rather divided on whether it was executed properly or not; this could serve as a chance for you to take a crack at it. There is also ample opportunity for connections to the Unova region, which would undoubtedly be nearby, being mostly based on the state of New York (though technically serving as a 'mini America'). Whether that means regional variants, cross-generation evolutions, or new characters, I just think there's a lot of potential. Either way, while this was partially an April Fools prank, I think I speak for everyone when I say that we would all love another Fakemon region. There are so few content creators on RUclips that make such a project and actually stick with it to completion, much less do it well enough to have an entire community come together to make a fan game based on it!
A legit fun trio of starters. This reminds me a little bit about how Gen 9 seemed to have a good number of "taking the piss" Pokémon like Toedscruel and Dundunsparce. I think Shrimple calls out to me the most, which is pretty uncommon for water starters. Guess it speaks for the design when its inspiration is literally just "crab."
I recognize the whole April Fools thing, but I seriously want this to continue. You have some of the best fakemon on youtube and it's always great to see them, followed by the amazing fanart that sprouts from it. I love it!
Even if you don't go through the whole region, I shrimply *must* see all three these guy's evolution lines. The fire and water ones are especially good! The grass guy is also good, but that pointy ass rubs me the wrong way lol
a region where all starters have a 4x weakness to the 3 primary types would be hilarious. imagine having to pick between fire-rock, water-ground, and grass-ice and your rival guns for the counter
kidkickoff, beyond having an incredible name, is truly one of my favorite fakemon designs i’ve ever seen???? it reminds me so much of the rev rams from pac man world 2, and the idea of combining tackling rams with football imagery is too much i love that little cretin-shaped creature
Fire/Rock that eventually becomes Fire/Steel (flint and steel) would be pretty sick and a nice reward for a more difficult early game as a Fire/Rock type
Personally I think fire/rock on gobshot could fit into a nice secondary type chart for the final evos, have shrimple be water/bug and kidkickoff be grass/psychic (which unfortunately doesn’t hit rock super effectively but you might be able to give it a signature move that works like freeze-dry) and you could have a theme of the secondary typings being underwhelming types to compliment the goofier interpretation of the region (to clarify I love rock, bug, and psychic types they’re just generally overshadowed by more powerful types)
It’s one of my favorites and it can certainly be useful but it’s easily overshadowed by fairy types because fairy (debatably the single strongest individual type right now) can be used in almost any situation psychic would be useful (barring facing a poison type) and handle it just as well if not better
here’s some ideas cuz i’m a nerd, regional aipom line based on mechanics and monkey wrenches, regional normal/fairy mimikyu where it wears a paper bag puppet it could even evolve into a paper bag with two other bags on their arms so it could be 3 puppets, a bird pokemon that cleans teeth and resembles a toothbrush and cleans the teeth of a toothy glutinous pokemon, bug/ice regional bug based on snow shovels and snow plows, telephone pokemon but i don’t have a real idea for that
GUNPOWDER TURKEY! It's adorable! Absolutely would train! I do hope you carry on with this region, honestly. As much as I love the other videos... I do miss those regular Fakemon videos.
Grass goat: gras fighting. Starts off in football but slowly transitioning into rugby. This pokemon being fighting type is about the skill that comes from the dissapline needed to play, it's skilled, it's determined, it's practiced, and this tendency to hurt itself lends to an idea that it plays rough and doesn't quit, that makes me think of rugby and it's scrumming. I think it's final form should be rugby themed. Fire turkey: fire steel, the pokemon uses it's flint bill to ignite the gun powder, this pokemon could become an actual cannon as it evolves creating a way to harness its gun powder, turkey's are also related to peacocks and I think you could hunt at it using the Flint lock ballistics aswell. It could start off as a rock type or go in a unique evolution path. Fire ground -> fire rock -> fire steel. This would be a cool idea and I'd love to see you use it. Normal shrimp: lean into it, make this cradad (you say it's a lady though so im going to use that) make it so used to being average that it stands out and doesn't know it, or doesn't care that it is, because at the end of the day that doesn't change much. If I was making this mon I'd go humanoid and use arachne and the spider crab as inspiration, or you can go bulky and use the dungeonous crab, this pokemon seems to be the most relatability out of the 3 and having the more relatable mon be humanoid in the end of its evolution seems like a logical thing to do. Edit: oh I thought you were done with the shrimple description... Learning from the shrimple and this zen mindset seems very psychic type. That works to.
I genuinely love the new line of videos yeve made the last few months, but it's nice to see ye still make some fakemon every so often, the turkey that's both hot tempered and explosive in more ways than one is particularly inspired 😂
Best starter designs you’ve ever done. But I think Kidkickoff would be spelt Kiddkikkoff or something stupid like that, because they don’t love to put real word spellings in their names, especially not old gens
The head on shrimple looks like a mix of a captain hat and the front of an old timey ship which i feel like fits the theme of New England and its history lol i could imagine it getting a big foamy mustache then beard as it evolves into a mighty ship captain
If you wanted an ADDITIONAL idea on top of that, it could turn into a water-ghost type by the final stage to reference the ideas of ghost ships, while also kinda being a nod to all of the horrible things that the colonists did once they got here :|
The way that I unironically want a pokemon region based on New England. It has a diverse biome (there is even a desert and there used to be volcanos), an interesting history and culture that can be tied to Unova, Kalos, and Galar, and a ton of potential for there weather gimmick to be expanded!
All jokes aside, I LOVE how you add crustaceans to things. Normally people don't bother drawing them at all. As someone who loves crabs, lobsters, crawdads, etc. its so nice to see them from you!! 🦀
Wicked! I think there's some good core concepts here. Maybe push the grass starters body closer to the ground to make them look a bit more resilient, possibly put some actual pieces of flint on the birds body or head to make it's theming more obvious (I like the idea of it possibly also having a really long neck to slam down its head with), and maybe make shrimple's body arch up and forward instead of forwards and up to insinuate a more slouched posture with some simpler shapes. (I think it would also be funny if it's evolutions were Shrimple -> Shrimplas -> Shrimplasat) Cute mons!
Aye man, I'm totally down for another Fakemon region, even if it continues to be this goofy and the videos for it are infrequent. Also, I love what your doing with the Enigmorph project. You and Claire keep up the excellent work.
Okay hold up let him cook! But honestly for and April fools joke with a New England accent, these are actually some pretty creative concepts. I absolutely love the shallow yet in depth concept behind Gobshot, it reminds me when starters are revealed and we only know what’s on the surface without deep diving into the lore. Joke or not 10/10 designs. P.S I’m dying over a pun Segway into an actual name of Shrimple 😂😂😂
An idea for the potential evolution of gobshot: using its gizzard and/or crop to store rocks for ammunition and/or gunpowder. For those who don't know some birds swallow rocks in order to help grind up food in their gizzard. And in the olden days gunpowder, and I believe also the ammunition, would have been stored in pouches. Rock-type would be fitting.
It'd be cool to see at least one more video with these guys where you flesh them out a bit and give them evolutions. I think a gobshot evolution would look great with one of those old school judge's wigs.
I LOVE Shrimple. They are so damn cute! X3 I also noticed that you said "her" when talking about them. 👀 Looking forward to seeing her further evolutions. Hope they will be absoluteely *Wicked,* lol! 🤭
i LOVE these designs! they feel so authentic and look great as a trio, i want to leave thjs this to you but know the community really enjoys this content.
I was not expecting these to be genuine, but both the names and the designs are honestly great. I would totally play a Pokémon game dedicated to being a parody of New England if it was made
I Love These! Even If you dont make an entire new Region i would adore to at least see the next two evolutions because These are Just too adorable!😍 (Shrimple is my favourite)
I'm also making a New England region but I went much more classic Americana with the starter inspirations (highway robbers, Headless Horseman, and Captain Ahab) so this was an interesting perspective
I honestly love Gobshot so so much. Though all of them are very cute and goofy. I'd honestly like to see a video on their evolutions if you do make more videos with them
what a fun video!! i just finished reading a biography of andrew wyeth, and i could totally see a really bonkers looking pokemon based on Wind From the Sea with curtain arms and a cute little window face :-) such a pleasure to see this amount of creativity and production value in my sub box, especially on april fools
Just a note from one New Englander to "another". Its never too cold for Iced "Caahfee". Would have been a little more believable ;) IN ANY CASE. Love this. Thanks!
It would be incredible to see this become a full region. I’ve always wanted to see a good New England region and I know it would be incredible in your hands.
Something I noticed right off the bat (probably intentional but just wanted to be sure). Kid kickoff kinda looks like a football in addition to the patriots logo. Maybe that could be leaned into more or include something about it being thrown, mistaken for a ball, or used as a ball officially in its fictional version of football (other team members could be evolved forms?). A fighting secondary type seems appropriate b/c physicality of football (maybe in evolutions). + depending on any secondary typing of the water type starter this could cause the starter type-triangle to go both ways (haven't finished watching, so IDK what the water type even is). maybe a water/bug typing could work(shrimps are anthropods, got to that part of the video). Would also lean into the idea that the water type starter is easy to train (since that is supposed to be a bug-type thing). Though maybe not since the bug type is horrendous. But also I do like a strong bug-type. edit: Gobshot could drop the fire type on evolution in favor of Elec as an april fools joke(lithium instead of flint? maybe they get accepted into MIT and pursue a Computer Science degree), thereby reversing the starter type-triangle weaknesses. Also this way Shrimple could pick up psychic or flying(somehow) instead of bug. Another idea: Gobshot second form is an old-timey dualist, third form drops fire type for ghost type (like Hamilton) (shrimple picks up psychic type). Still has the effect of reversing type triangle but with a more cohesive (albeit dark) continuity of concepts for Gobshot. Also I think a starter dropping their primary typing would be a good April fools joke. A monicle-type thing could be worked into the design to sell old-timey-ness (not a new idea for turkey characters; see disney's chicken little, or don't because it's a bad movie).
Why do I legit love these guys? Im a Shrimple stan and honestly would love to see more of these goofy type videos every so often, makes the world feel just a little bit brighter, great work my dude.
These ideas are genuinely very fun but I want to be clear that I (and many other people I’m sure) really enjoy your other content! Your fakemon designs are fantastic, but so are all of your designs for Subjectively are great so! it’s great! really enjoy your stuff, ALL of it - Wicked :]
I usually hate april fools day cause every bit of content on YT becomes a joke. I know a lot of channels put a lot of work on an April Fools joke, but it can get tireing for people like me who don't really have any other way of watching stuff. But I'm glad we got a wiff of fresh air here Your ideas for "Not New - England" starters are silly and as incredible as always.
I just had a stupid idea for a convergent evolution for a New England region... basically, the pokemon had the same basic idea as Dhelmise... but, instead of being possessed seaweed wrapped around only ship parts, it's a bunch if Polteageist who were thrown into the bay during the Boston Tea Party, and eventually all came together around certain ship parts since most of there actual containers where destroyed... and the result was an entirely new pokemon!
You should give simple an ability in which if too many the opponent misses or uses stat-changing moves too many times in a row that shrimple will just fall asleep. Then as it evolves and realises the importance of stat changing and weather moves for strategy, that if too many stat/weather moves are used whilst it's on the battle field, it's accuracy goes up as it pays more attention.
the concept of the crab is jack showing his omnipresent experience of not knowing what to do with something shelled in the water and just saying fuck it and making it a crab
Man these designs slap! I imagine the grass starter evolving into Grass/fighting or Grass/Dark. I imagine Shrimple evolving into Water/Fairy with a colorful crustacean or waiter/waitress theme idk. With Fire/steel would be cool for the gun turkey. Give it big cannons like a fire blastoise.
I don't care what anyone says, Kidkickoff needs to become a Grass/Rock type or Grass/Fighting with either Reckless or Rock Head as a hidden ability, and access to AT LEAST 3 of these 5 moves: No Retreat, Take Down, Double Edge, Head Smash and Wood Hammer edit: In that case, I'd make the Gobshot line Fire/Ground, with access to Powder (it's a bug type move, but it just straight up throws gun powder at the target), Mud Shot and Mud Bomb, and Scorching Sands
i love this concept a lot actually! it's your call, but i'd love to see the continuation of this wicked region. i'd totally pick up a shrimple. she's so cute.
Unironically the Fire Starter is one of my favourites even compared to the official lineup of starters, the concept is fantastic and the name is perfect. Visually and conceptually it’s very easy to imagine it running around and causing some chaos. I’d be very happy to see more as it comes if you end up making more Wicked Videos Pal.
Starter final typings, propossal. Grass/Rock, rams/goats have heads as hard as rocks. Fire/Electric, as the sparks from the flint starts the fire. Water/Ice, because some crustaceans thrive in cold waters.
I got it (read this in the accent that was done for the video)... for their type combinations... you got de normal typing in Grass/Fire/Water... but then... but then... and i tell you you're gonna love this one... you also got an INVERSE one... where de grass starters' secondary type is super effective on de fire starters' secondary type! And yada yada... Anyway... so heresa my little idea... You got a turkey, who will be a plucky little, Rock Fire type (likely making him pure Fire early on, you know, for de early game) Then, THEN, you got da sheep... and that little sheepy you know what it's gonna be, we'll, you see, since Football is a very physically intense sport, full of all the tackling, and runnin and stuff... so, the sheepy, he'll be a Grass Fighting type little stinker... And then, de last one... the little shrimpy boi... well, since you got a fighting type and a rock type... that leaves but one option... flyin'! How exactly that lil' shrimpy boi flies... well...... you tell me... itsa... its not rocket science ***WINKS VERY OBVIOUSLY MAKING THE SAME FACE FROM THE AGATHA WINKING MEME*** (if you don't know what that is then looks it up you uncultured swine) *____________________________* Edit: OH, and I just had a brilliant idea that just popped into my lil' brain... for the theme among the starter pokemon... it could be GUN! Where the Grass starter... he's got them big GUNS!💪💪💪 The fire starter... he's got these GUNS! 🔫🔫🔫🔫 And the Water starter... well... ummm... so looking at the dictionary... when gun is used as a verb... it can mean "to open up the throttle of so as to increase speed" ... so... yeah... GUN!!!🚀🚀
I tell you what... you know what my favorite idea of this is... it's that it takes a little guy whose pretty Shrimple... and makes him... you know... a little more Shromplex (And now I have to leave because the comedy police wish to crucify me for making a very stupid joke... smell ya later losers!!!)
honestly, best april fools video i've ever seen. Though i dont wanna bother waffling about cool evo or typing ideas, i do wanna say that shrimple's shiny better make her blue shell a dark gray slate-ish colour. That would be cool i think.
We love the outfit with the accent, really selling the region. And the names are A+
Mad respect for committing to the bit!
I held off my optimism. I'm pleasantly surprised. It would be great to see a joke region based off of the American north east. New England New York New Jersey Pennsylvania. Plenty of room for memes and cryptids. The devil of New Jersey for example. This has potential to be a family friendly alternative to pokemon clover.
I hope you take the satire and light hearted vibe and run with it. I think you're right. Great things can come from originally joking intentions
I was so confused because I read the title as a new England region... like Galar lol
As someone who lives in New England, just an hour from Boston itself, I’d say that this is phenomenal acting! The outfit and accent are both great. Definitely make sure to destroy those r’s, though!
Kidkickoff feels like the American answer to Scorbunny on some "Football Vs. Fútbol" argument.
YES that's perfect!! Kidkickoff thinks scorbunny is his rival and scorbunny doesn't even know who he is. The type disadvantage works as well
Trainer: You just sneezed and flew ten feet in the air!
Gobshot: Really? It felt higher than that.
Jack hating every New England thing he brings up (Tom Brady, hunting, sea food) is so funny and very New England of him
I love my home. why? stop askin' me all these fuckin' questions, glass-eyes.

April fools pokemon get double weaknesses. Boom.
Beautiful. Give them all once off weakness policy type abilities too. Oh lmao you thought i was 4x weak? April fools >:) im not

Ideas for speculative evolutions:
Kidkickoff is definitely just going to become a stereotypical football player. Perhaps its horns encircle its head to form a helmet, even though that's already pretty close.
Perhaps the name Patrigoat for the middle evo, and Quarterbilly for the final evo.
I have an interesting idea for Gobshot though... What if its future evolution took inspiration from Petrels with their tube-like noses. Imagine two massive barrels on top of their beak resembling a shotgun. I'd recommend making them a fast offensive fire/rock type. (This totally not a reference to the spitfire bird from the future is wild, whaddayamean?)
Perhaps the name Shellcluck for the middle evo, and Blunderbok for the final evo.
And finally Shrimple: how about furthering its surfer inspiration? There's also the fact that lobsters keep growing throughout their life. So what about a wise old lobster on a board made of its former exoskeletons (also, I imagine them talking like Xavier, from Xavier Renegade Angel, but like, repeating their name over and over again). Maybe its middle evolution 'serves' a volleyball, again, made of its former exoskeleton.
Perhaps the name Prawny for the middle evo, and Dudester for the final evo.
Patrigoat is a God Tier name!
I require the Blunderbok
I'm a shrimple man, I see good ideas, I upvote them.
Wonder what the tying theme for the starters are

EASTERN TIME? Thats the biggest prank of them all
Kidkickoff: starts as the mascot, becomes a rambunctious fan with one of those giant foam fingers and maybe some snacks. ends looking like football gear holding an egg or a rock and gains the fighting type because... obviously.
Gobbshot I'd imagine would reflect the revolutionary War history of new England, maybe evolving into a little soldier with a musket, and maybe ending as a general with a Sabre and/or a blunderbuss, going steel typing to make it the worst option lol.
Shrimple I think should be something Lovecraftian due to New England being featured a lot in his work... and probably dark or psychic if so.
Straight at midnight? This is amazing
You probably saw this coming, but I would absolutely *LOVE* to see a new Fakemon region, especially one centered around New England. I think the Starters, while perhaps a bit more jokey due to the context, could be fleshed out just a smidge and still be decent (for example, a better name for Kidkickoff. It's a bit wordy). Their secondary themes are also pretty simple:
- Kidkickoff would obviously evolve into a football player, perhaps Grass/Fighting or Grass/Steel referring to the tough nature and absolute punishment players take on the field in the name of the game
- Gobshot could evolve into a bonfire or fireworks display, possibly with a Fire/Fairy or even Fire/Electric typing to reference their fiery and volatile nature. Plus, I just think the huge tail of turkey being a massive fan of flames would be amazing
- Shrimple I think could refer to New England's historic nature, given how it was the site of the first and second initial colonies that would give way to America. Just the orthographic shots alone made me think of the blue uniforms, patriot hats, and coattails of the historic Minute Men and other contemporary figures; this could translate to Water/Fighting or even Water/Electric, mimicking old muskets and other firearms.
New England is also often either the setting or launching point of many of H.P. Lovecraft's stories or media inspired by his work, which I think could serve as ample inspiration for new Ultra Beasts or even the Legendary Pokemon of the region. Granted, Eternatus already kind of fills this niche, being an unknowable Pokemon from another dimension with tremendous power, but the fandom seems rather divided on whether it was executed properly or not; this could serve as a chance for you to take a crack at it.
There is also ample opportunity for connections to the Unova region, which would undoubtedly be nearby, being mostly based on the state of New York (though technically serving as a 'mini America'). Whether that means regional variants, cross-generation evolutions, or new characters, I just think there's a lot of potential.
Either way, while this was partially an April Fools prank, I think I speak for everyone when I say that we would all love another Fakemon region. There are so few content creators on RUclips that make such a project and actually stick with it to completion, much less do it well enough to have an entire community come together to make a fan game based on it!
Lovecraft Country-themed Pokémon region would be so good! You want a water type gym? How about this quaint little village, it's called [INNSMOUTH]
holy.... bump!🤩🤩
think fast chucklenuts
A legit fun trio of starters. This reminds me a little bit about how Gen 9 seemed to have a good number of "taking the piss" Pokémon like Toedscruel and Dundunsparce. I think Shrimple calls out to me the most, which is pretty uncommon for water starters. Guess it speaks for the design when its inspiration is literally just "crab."
I recognize the whole April Fools thing, but I seriously want this to continue. You have some of the best fakemon on youtube and it's always great to see them, followed by the amazing fanart that sprouts from it. I love it!
Even if you don't go through the whole region, I shrimply *must* see all three these guy's evolution lines. The fire and water ones are especially good! The grass guy is also good, but that pointy ass rubs me the wrong way lol
The accent is killing me 😂
This made me realize how much I miss your Fakemon videos. I hope we get to see more of the Hahbah region.
The cut off from serving cu- was SO GOOD!!!
I was looking for someone else who had also heard that lmaooo
a region where all starters have a 4x weakness to the 3 primary types would be hilarious. imagine having to pick between fire-rock, water-ground, and grass-ice and your rival guns for the counter
MAHZA.. this accent.. its beautiful. Thank ya fo tha food sir
kidkickoff, beyond having an incredible name, is truly one of my favorite fakemon designs i’ve ever seen???? it reminds me so much of the rev rams from pac man world 2, and the idea of combining tackling rams with football imagery is too much i love that little cretin-shaped creature
The commitment to the accent is cheff kiss
Fire/Rock that eventually becomes Fire/Steel (flint and steel) would be pretty sick and a nice reward for a more difficult early game as a Fire/Rock type
Personally I think fire/rock on gobshot could fit into a nice secondary type chart for the final evos, have shrimple be water/bug and kidkickoff be grass/psychic (which unfortunately doesn’t hit rock super effectively but you might be able to give it a signature move that works like freeze-dry) and you could have a theme of the secondary typings being underwhelming types to compliment the goofier interpretation of the region (to clarify I love rock, bug, and psychic types they’re just generally overshadowed by more powerful types)
i love water/bug for shrimple cause of shrimps is bugs
i thought psychic was good though.
It’s one of my favorites and it can certainly be useful but it’s easily overshadowed by fairy types because fairy (debatably the single strongest individual type right now) can be used in almost any situation psychic would be useful (barring facing a poison type) and handle it just as well if not better
Or we make gras dude fighting and get a flying crab lol
Boring.
Fire Rock Grass Fighting Water Flying. Real shit
…..*Promptly Kidnaps all three for cuddles or Grass boi’s case, Treats and playtime*
here’s some ideas cuz i’m a nerd, regional aipom line based on mechanics and monkey wrenches, regional normal/fairy mimikyu where it wears a paper bag puppet it could even evolve into a paper bag with two other bags on their arms so it could be 3 puppets, a bird pokemon that cleans teeth and resembles a toothbrush and cleans the teeth of a toothy glutinous pokemon, bug/ice regional bug based on snow shovels and snow plows, telephone pokemon but i don’t have a real idea for that
Electric Bellsprout convergent evo that evolves from a cup on a string to a telephone
@@Rickstau88 that’s dumb, it’s way more than perfect for this joke region >:3
GUNPOWDER TURKEY! It's adorable! Absolutely would train!
I do hope you carry on with this region, honestly. As much as I love the other videos... I do miss those regular Fakemon videos.
Not entirely sure what to think of this but "kidckoff" might be a smoother name
Grass goat: gras fighting. Starts off in football but slowly transitioning into rugby. This pokemon being fighting type is about the skill that comes from the dissapline needed to play, it's skilled, it's determined, it's practiced, and this tendency to hurt itself lends to an idea that it plays rough and doesn't quit, that makes me think of rugby and it's scrumming. I think it's final form should be rugby themed.
Fire turkey: fire steel, the pokemon uses it's flint bill to ignite the gun powder, this pokemon could become an actual cannon as it evolves creating a way to harness its gun powder, turkey's are also related to peacocks and I think you could hunt at it using the Flint lock ballistics aswell. It could start off as a rock type or go in a unique evolution path. Fire ground -> fire rock -> fire steel. This would be a cool idea and I'd love to see you use it.
Normal shrimp: lean into it, make this cradad (you say it's a lady though so im going to use that) make it so used to being average that it stands out and doesn't know it, or doesn't care that it is, because at the end of the day that doesn't change much. If I was making this mon I'd go humanoid and use arachne and the spider crab as inspiration, or you can go bulky and use the dungeonous crab, this pokemon seems to be the most relatability out of the 3 and having the more relatable mon be humanoid in the end of its evolution seems like a logical thing to do.
Edit: oh I thought you were done with the shrimple description... Learning from the shrimple and this zen mindset seems very psychic type. That works to.
At this point I don't even know if the accent is meant to be a joke or not XD
I genuinely love the new line of videos yeve made the last few months, but it's nice to see ye still make some fakemon every so often, the turkey that's both hot tempered and explosive in more ways than one is particularly inspired 😂
Best starter designs you’ve ever done. But I think Kidkickoff would be spelt Kiddkikkoff or something stupid like that, because they don’t love to put real word spellings in their names, especially not old gens
The head on shrimple looks like a mix of a captain hat and the front of an old timey ship which i feel like fits the theme of New England and its history lol i could imagine it getting a big foamy mustache then beard as it evolves into a mighty ship captain
If you wanted an ADDITIONAL idea on top of that, it could turn into a water-ghost type by the final stage to reference the ideas of ghost ships, while also kinda being a nod to all of the horrible things that the colonists did once they got here :|
I honestly didn’t expect this to actually be real. Truly this is an April Fool’s moment-
"it's so hard for me to NOT draw a crab"
SO TRUEEE
I wasn't expectin' the midnight upload 💀
The way that I unironically want a pokemon region based on New England. It has a diverse biome (there is even a desert and there used to be volcanos), an interesting history and culture that can be tied to Unova, Kalos, and Galar, and a ton of potential for there weather gimmick to be expanded!
Being from Maine, the New England stereotypes are spot on 😂
All jokes aside, I LOVE how you add crustaceans to things. Normally people don't bother drawing them at all. As someone who loves crabs, lobsters, crawdads, etc. its so nice to see them from you!! 🦀
I prefer this type of "prank" over the "haha it's just 5 minutes worth of Windows paint text" every day.
Wicked! I think there's some good core concepts here. Maybe push the grass starters body closer to the ground to make them look a bit more resilient, possibly put some actual pieces of flint on the birds body or head to make it's theming more obvious (I like the idea of it possibly also having a really long neck to slam down its head with), and maybe make shrimple's body arch up and forward instead of forwards and up to insinuate a more slouched posture with some simpler shapes. (I think it would also be funny if it's evolutions were Shrimple -> Shrimplas -> Shrimplasat)
Cute mons!
Aye man, I'm totally down for another Fakemon region, even if it continues to be this goofy and the videos for it are infrequent.
Also, I love what your doing with the Enigmorph project. You and Claire keep up the excellent work.
I love goofy projects they can be so creatively freeing sometimes.
Also I adore Shrimple
8:29 that was not what i was thinking 💀
I live in Boston!! I love this so much, I'd love to see more of the region.
Okay hold up let him cook!
But honestly for and April fools joke with a New England accent, these are actually some pretty creative concepts. I absolutely love the shallow yet in depth concept behind Gobshot, it reminds me when starters are revealed and we only know what’s on the surface without deep diving into the lore.
Joke or not 10/10 designs.
P.S I’m dying over a pun Segway into an actual name of Shrimple 😂😂😂
An idea for the potential evolution of gobshot: using its gizzard and/or crop to store rocks for ammunition and/or gunpowder. For those who don't know some birds swallow rocks in order to help grind up food in their gizzard. And in the olden days gunpowder, and I believe also the ammunition, would have been stored in pouches. Rock-type would be fitting.
Some of my best ideas usually come from a stupid place.
It'd be cool to see at least one more video with these guys where you flesh them out a bit and give them evolutions. I think a gobshot evolution would look great with one of those old school judge's wigs.
I LOVE Shrimple. They are so damn cute! X3
I also noticed that you said "her" when talking about them. 👀
Looking forward to seeing her further evolutions. Hope they will be absoluteely *Wicked,* lol! 🤭
i LOVE these designs! they feel so authentic and look great as a trio, i want to leave thjs this to you but know the community really enjoys this content.
I should have known this was an April Fools video! Everyone knows that New England doesn’t exist.
I love these little guys. I love the fire starter way more than torchic. And shrimple, peak
I was not expecting these to be genuine, but both the names and the designs are honestly great. I would totally play a Pokémon game dedicated to being a parody of New England if it was made
I Love These! Even If you dont make an entire new Region i would adore to at least see the next two evolutions because These are Just too adorable!😍 (Shrimple is my favourite)
As a new englander i am so hyped about this! love the representation
I'm also making a New England region but I went much more classic Americana with the starter inspirations (highway robbers, Headless Horseman, and Captain Ahab) so this was an interesting perspective
As a Rhode Islander, this video was wicked funny lol, well done
I honestly love Gobshot so so much. Though all of them are very cute and goofy. I'd honestly like to see a video on their evolutions if you do make more videos with them
what a fun video!! i just finished reading a biography of andrew wyeth, and i could totally see a really bonkers looking pokemon based on Wind From the Sea with curtain arms and a cute little window face :-) such a pleasure to see this amount of creativity and production value in my sub box, especially on april fools
Just a note from one New Englander to "another". Its never too cold for Iced "Caahfee". Would have been a little more believable ;)
IN ANY CASE. Love this. Thanks!
It would be incredible to see this become a full region. I’ve always wanted to see a good New England region and I know it would be incredible in your hands.
Something I noticed right off the bat (probably intentional but just wanted to be sure). Kid kickoff kinda looks like a football in addition to the patriots logo. Maybe that could be leaned into more or include something about it being thrown, mistaken for a ball, or used as a ball officially in its fictional version of football (other team members could be evolved forms?). A fighting secondary type seems appropriate b/c physicality of football (maybe in evolutions).
+ depending on any secondary typing of the water type starter this could cause the starter type-triangle to go both ways (haven't finished watching, so IDK what the water type even is). maybe a water/bug typing could work(shrimps are anthropods, got to that part of the video). Would also lean into the idea that the water type starter is easy to train (since that is supposed to be a bug-type thing). Though maybe not since the bug type is horrendous. But also I do like a strong bug-type.
edit: Gobshot could drop the fire type on evolution in favor of Elec as an april fools joke(lithium instead of flint? maybe they get accepted into MIT and pursue a Computer Science degree), thereby reversing the starter type-triangle weaknesses. Also this way Shrimple could pick up psychic or flying(somehow) instead of bug.
Another idea: Gobshot second form is an old-timey dualist, third form drops fire type for ghost type (like Hamilton) (shrimple picks up psychic type). Still has the effect of reversing type triangle but with a more cohesive (albeit dark) continuity of concepts for Gobshot. Also I think a starter dropping their primary typing would be a good April fools joke. A monicle-type thing could be worked into the design to sell old-timey-ness (not a new idea for turkey characters; see disney's chicken little, or don't because it's a bad movie).
Why do I legit love these guys? Im a Shrimple stan and honestly would love to see more of these goofy type videos every so often, makes the world feel just a little bit brighter, great work my dude.
Shrimple evolves into Clawplicated
These ideas are genuinely very fun but I want to be clear that I (and many other people I’m sure) really enjoy your other content! Your fakemon designs are fantastic, but so are all of your designs for Subjectively are great so! it’s great! really enjoy your stuff, ALL of it - Wicked :]
This video was awesome! What a gift these three all were. And the accent too, sounds like you really had some fun with it.
I usually hate april fools day cause every bit of content on YT becomes a joke. I know a lot of channels put a lot of work on an April Fools joke, but it can get tireing for people like me who don't really have any other way of watching stuff. But I'm glad we got a wiff of fresh air here
Your ideas for "Not New - England" starters are silly and as incredible as always.
I just had a stupid idea for a convergent evolution for a New England region... basically, the pokemon had the same basic idea as Dhelmise... but, instead of being possessed seaweed wrapped around only ship parts, it's a bunch if Polteageist who were thrown into the bay during the Boston Tea Party, and eventually all came together around certain ship parts since most of there actual containers where destroyed... and the result was an entirely new pokemon!
You should give simple an ability in which if too many the opponent misses or uses stat-changing moves too many times in a row that shrimple will just fall asleep. Then as it evolves and realises the importance of stat changing and weather moves for strategy, that if too many stat/weather moves are used whilst it's on the battle field, it's accuracy goes up as it pays more attention.
the concept of the crab is jack showing his omnipresent experience of not knowing what to do with something shelled in the water and just saying fuck it and making it a crab
This IS wicked X'D Love the commitment to the bit, and quite frankly, this is a fantastic concept X'D
Wicked!!! I absolutely adore Gobshot omggg😭
Jokes aside, I actually love these designs 😂
Also incredible thumbnail!
Man these designs slap! I imagine the grass starter evolving into Grass/fighting or Grass/Dark. I imagine Shrimple evolving into Water/Fairy with a colorful crustacean or waiter/waitress theme idk. With Fire/steel would be cool for the gun turkey. Give it big cannons like a fire blastoise.
Call it Tankurkey
begging you to continue this as a fellow new englander
Wicked! I love all three couldn’t decide which I would choose as my starter
Hahbah region sounding goofy when the Hawaii region is literally the word for ‘hello’ with an extra L
I don't care what anyone says, Kidkickoff needs to become a Grass/Rock type or Grass/Fighting with either Reckless or Rock Head as a hidden ability, and access to AT LEAST 3 of these 5 moves: No Retreat, Take Down, Double Edge, Head Smash and Wood Hammer
edit: In that case, I'd make the Gobshot line Fire/Ground, with access to Powder (it's a bug type move, but it just straight up throws gun powder at the target), Mud Shot and Mud Bomb, and Scorching Sands
i love this concept a lot actually! it's your call, but i'd love to see the continuation of this wicked region. i'd totally pick up a shrimple. she's so cute.
Unironically the Fire Starter is one of my favourites even compared to the official lineup of starters, the concept is fantastic and the name is perfect. Visually and conceptually it’s very easy to imagine it running around and causing some chaos.
I’d be very happy to see more as it comes if you end up making more Wicked Videos Pal.
Starter final typings, propossal. Grass/Rock, rams/goats have heads as hard as rocks. Fire/Electric, as the sparks from the flint starts the fire. Water/Ice, because some crustaceans thrive in cold waters.
I got it (read this in the accent that was done for the video)... for their type combinations... you got de normal typing in Grass/Fire/Water... but then... but then... and i tell you you're gonna love this one... you also got an INVERSE one... where de grass starters' secondary type is super effective on de fire starters' secondary type! And yada yada...
Anyway... so heresa my little idea...
You got a turkey, who will be a plucky little, Rock Fire type (likely making him pure Fire early on, you know, for de early game)
Then, THEN, you got da sheep... and that little sheepy you know what it's gonna be, we'll, you see, since Football is a very physically intense sport, full of all the tackling, and runnin and stuff... so, the sheepy, he'll be a Grass Fighting type little stinker...
And then, de last one... the little shrimpy boi... well, since you got a fighting type and a rock type... that leaves but one option... flyin'! How exactly that lil' shrimpy boi flies... well...... you tell me... itsa... its not rocket science ***WINKS VERY OBVIOUSLY MAKING THE SAME FACE FROM THE AGATHA WINKING MEME*** (if you don't know what that is then looks it up you uncultured swine)
*____________________________*
Edit: OH, and I just had a brilliant idea that just popped into my lil' brain... for the theme among the starter pokemon... it could be GUN!
Where the Grass starter... he's got them big GUNS!💪💪💪
The fire starter... he's got these GUNS! 🔫🔫🔫🔫
And the Water starter... well... ummm... so looking at the dictionary... when gun is used as a verb... it can mean "to open up the throttle of so as to increase speed" ... so... yeah... GUN!!!🚀🚀
I tell you what... you know what my favorite idea of this is... it's that it takes a little guy whose pretty Shrimple... and makes him... you know... a little more Shromplex
(And now I have to leave because the comedy police wish to crucify me for making a very stupid joke... smell ya later losers!!!)
Ok but the concept behind Gobshot is genuinely amazing and I actually love it
This is the most unhinged breakdown of the fakemon designs I ever heard best April fools 😂
honestly, best april fools video i've ever seen.
Though i dont wanna bother waffling about cool evo or typing ideas,
i do wanna say that shrimple's shiny better make her blue shell a dark gray slate-ish colour.
That would be cool i think.
As an Australian who was fortunate enough to spend a few weeks in Boston, i'm loving you flex your regional accent!
