WHOOPS 😂 just noticed the huge editing error in the beginning. That was a picture of Matz’s username but apparently it must have been deleted somehow while rendering! You can find the link to their page in description so make sure to check them out!
ik this was 4 months ago lol but i don't think anyone explained - the nettulb line is based on stinging nettles, which is a very common plant here in the UK and Scandinavian countries, which stings you pretty painfully if you touch it. So nettulb was based on a nettle bulb :)
I was literally saying at the start, “if jormungandr doesn’t make an appearance, I’m gonna flip my shit.” Because they have multiple Pokémon already that have that type of body structure. And Jormungandr is one of the most known Nordic characters aside from Thor and Loki and Odin.
I'm impressied with how real these mons feel. THe designer kept very true to the design language of existing pokemon: I like a lot of em, especially the raven one, it's very rare that we get to see sleek bird pokemon, gamefreak tends to present us with very chunky designs. I find it a missed chance to make Helodian Ice type. Hel in a nordic sense, is not a fiery place, but a frozen place.
I think this is the coolest region I have ever seen. Coincidentally, I am Norwegian, but these designs are just too good and kept getting better. Someone, please make these as fangames
@@TheSamurai-xy2ep Scotland was nordic, it's only not considered nordic now because they joined the UK making their culture be subjugated. Unlike everywhere else in the British isles Scotland joined peacefully making its culture not matter to the government. It was nordic before Iceland was
This pokemons although cool design do a awful job in referencing Norway mithology or even Norway especifically, except in the most common know... the rest are mostly just normal pokemon that I would expect in any cold place, and not exclusive to Norway. Huge missed oportunity
@@dudu-fo7hz at the very least the starters should have all been directly related to Norse Mythology, the horse could have been Slepnier, the Dog could have been fire steel and been a reference to Fenrir with its collar turning into a chain, and honestly the water type felt more Asian inspired and would probably need to be something completely separate, maybe make the water one the horse instead and be a Kelpie and change the grass one to something else
@@Lockz1111 exactly. Norway has so many specific stories or associations that could be used on the pokemon designs. The designs are cool, but not something that I look and think "Yes, Norway".
Hoggoldiat is probably inspired by Gyldenbørste/Gullinbursti! It's the god Frey's golden-furred pig - the name literally meaning "Golden Fur". In legends, it's said to be Frey's mount, and it was able to run on water and through the air. I'm guessing it's also based on people who went viking though, from the typing. Also, the "bearserker" line is genius, 'cause "Berserkr" literally means "Bearskin". Sharboard is likely a reference to a place here in Denmark called "Cold Hawaii", because it's an A+ surfing spot and many people come there to do just that :) Side note: I freaking love his supposed take on a Seidr woman! (Huldra)
The heavenly and underworld legendaries are some of the most incredible designs I've ever seen. The nods to Arceus and Giratina, wrapping back to the iconic lore of the canon games is an amazing design choice. I need to stop watching these games, makes me sad no one's utilizing them. So many incredible designs just slaying the "real" games. :/
- the Flamur and Yowlark lines may be a reference to Skoll and Hati, two wolves who chased the sun and moon respectively. some sources theorize that Skoll is another name for Fenrir, who would bring about Ragnarok (the end of the world), and could explain the ghost typing and the thick collar on Infernound. - the Ravhern line was probably chosen because ravens are important symbols in Norse mythology, having Huginn and Muninn as Odin's eyes and ears in the world (in some sources he has the moniker of The Raven God). the skeletal portions of the design may be a reference to ravens being carrion birds, but also because it was believed that they were messengers between the world of the living and the dead, they could help Valkyries determine who was worthy to go to Valhalla. - Spargoat and Flaries may have been chosen because Thor had a chariot pulled by two goats - the Nettulb line is based on nettles, a type of plant known for its stinging sensation when you come into contact with it - Hoggoldiat may be a reference to Gullinbursti, a magical boar forged by dwarves Brokkr and Eitri to compete against the Sons of Ivaldi when the two sides were provoked by Loki into an artisan arms race (fun fact, this is the same heated competition that saw the creation of Odin's spear Gungnir and Thor's hammer Mjollnir) - Bearbarian line may be a reference to berserkers, which literally means "bearskin", because they would literally wear bearskins in battle believing they could "inhabit the strength and ferocity of the bear", and were usually seen as more savage (barbaric) fighters even to other vikings - Polaris is the "official" name of the North Star, nodded by the fact that it comes from the North Fossil - the UB system may be a reference to the Norse belief of the 9 realms: the regular Pokemon world is Midgard (realm of humans), Warraith from Helheim (realm of the dishonoured dead), Jotunas from Jotunnheim (realm of the frost giants), Flamernal from Muspelheim (realm of fire), Auroreil from Niflheim (realm of cold fog and mist), and Combhoax may be a reference to Loki and thus a combination of Asgard (realm of the Aesir gods) and Vanaheim (realm of the Vanir gods) because it is a shapeshifter but despite being considered a deity is neither Aesir nor Vanir (some sources claim he is half Jotunn) sorry for the word vomit especially if you already knew all this it's just i agree with you so much i love the designs for this region so i wanted to share!
Definetly infernound is my starter. The rest of the team, there is so many mons I like here. Distraken, thundrailer, grapaconda, dragrism, ymirstodon probably make the base team but there's so many that I like besides that
Honestly with the amount of heckling amazing Pokemon game ideas including fakemon and game mechanics that have been made in the community why doesn’t Game Freak just hire a bunch of them they would end up punching out so many awesome new games that would go flying off the shelves
A little correction; In the pronounciation of Conjagnathus the g is silent so it would sound more like conjanathus, this is because it is based on one of the smallest dinosaurs compsognathus which has a silent g, it's the little green dinosaurs from the jurassic park movies. Also fun fact they were most likely feathered based on their even smaller cousin synosauroptryx which was complete covered in feathers and had similar coloring to the red panda.
Glad you finally got to this. Its phenomenal piece of work. I love this n I asked for the shiny dex, was told to wait till they start production. I see they started doing shiny dex. Love that Clown shiny. Trolossus is definitely on my team, n definitely gave me Zarban vibes from DBZ. I went with Obscuring with my starter. Apparently Arcanine was also a legendary in 1st gen. If you looked at the ancient murals.
I saw this region reviewed on another channel a year ago I think, and the creator of this region reworked on some designs, and added some new Pokemons, and I really like their style. This Nordic one, the Greece one, the western american one and the African/Egyptian one genuily feel like something Gamefreak could come up with, but even better. I love these styles ! Thanks for showing us this !
As someone who lives in Denmark 🇩🇰 I love this video it was so much Nordic energy put in this video that I can’t even express it enough there was definitely a bunch of great Pokémon and some pretty cool Pokémon and cute Pokémon but yeah I love the video 😁
I know it's extremely picky and hard to do sometimes but it annoys me a little when really cool fan regions don't often make solo type mons other than regional forms. I genuinely like a lot of these but some of them feel like they could've been just a single type like Scaricious. Very picky, ik, but just a personal opinion. Their designs are great regardless, just wished there were some solo type mons as well.
37:57 I'm almost positive that Hoggoldiat is based on the boar of the Norse God Frey. The Boar's name was Gullinbursti, which means "the golden bristled one"
I haven't even watched the video yet, but the regional Aegislash (or Aegimallet?) was all I needed to see to click on the video. Edit: I love that it's based off of Mjolnir
I like how there's both Nordic myths like the mjolnor aegaslash and thor goat thing etc and Asian myths referenced like the amount of serpentine dragons like the dunsparce evolution or the archanine
I believe there are wolves that travel to different islands when they get old enough for the pack and start there own pack and so on with the next generation.
Fakemons are so fun. I am creating a fakemon region based on my homecountry (Italy) Unfortunately i can't draw and i don't have the money so i dont have any drawings, i just describe them. Its pretty fun though
Lots of good boys. An electric Growlithe/Arcanine, a fire good boy starter, a steel-type Rockruff/Lycanroc (I guess they're wolves but they're also good boys along with the water good boy starter), and an ice good boy.
This person is very talented. I really like the psychic and ghost types here! I appreciate the dragon and steel types too as those I feel are more challenging to create a concept with.
I started to make a region myself. Although it's based less around an actual place and more around things like mythology, Wicca, and things like that. I even made starters! Unfortunatley i cant draw them but i can tell u guys their names! also if u want you can say what starter you would choose. X3 water type - Fillyweed (evolves into Kelpesian) fire type - Pyroach (evolves into Scoarab) grass type - Faunfir (evolves into Wendifern)
You inspired me to draw up my newly revised region. I want to get the pokemon drawn and potentially commission some dex-entries for them all at some point.
wow. unknowing of this, i was brainstorming for my own Nordic Pokemon region, and the starter ideas were: grass steel type megaloceros (extinct giant deer) with elements from Andvari's ring, a cursed ring of myth that inspired lord of the rings a fire doggo who would have dwarf elements and evolve into some combination of a bear and Fenrir, another Nordic beast of myth the ideas for the water starter are still vague, but i was thinking about a water/fairy type witch heron would would have grey coloration in the middle stage, and more white in the last stage to reference Gandalf
As I'm from Europe... I believe a Grimmsnarl regional line would make a lot of sense being Grass/Rock... as we have a nordic troll that usually is are out of rocks and moss. But I believe Grimmsnarl itself will be a bit rounder in shape and possibly have a rounder and bigger nose.
Pretty solid designs. I think the water starter needs some reworking, but the final Evo isn't bad. Over all I think there's too many pokemon here with bones incorporated into the design. Also, there are two pokemon inspired by Viking ships, so they'd have to cut one or combine them 24:10 & 37:23 not to mention the Evo for the ghost type
I love how it's called Light and Dark, given I had the same idea years back. My idea was the Light Pokemon to be Seraph-themed with a signature move called Blinding Gaze, and the Dark Pokemon to be Lovecraft-themed with a signature move called Blinding Maw.
Now don’t get me wrong, the aegislash mjolnir is really cool but I kinda wish it looked closer to the mjolnir from Norse mythology rather than the one from marvel comics
I'm not 100% sure, but Flamur's name might come from 'flame' and 'mur', which, in Finnish, is the sound that dogs make while growling. The verb 'to growl' in Finnish is actually 'murista' :)
I think Muskur is based on a type of ox that lives in the northern Sweden called myskoxe wich means muskox if im not mistaken, a long haired, rather short ox that is said to run faster uphills than downhills.
You work with Mr buddy? He did this and a handful of other regions. Also a Cerberus isn't a thing for Norse myth. But wolves are associated with the moon and that is linked to water and the seas. Though wolves are also associated with the end of the world given Fenrir and his children devouring even the sun and moon. The Nettlub line though is just in reference to nettles themselves. It's a common plant in Europe and the poison parts can help or hurt. With the roots being able to help with diabetes, while the stinging parts hurt like crazy. Though the coloring reminds me of Scotish Thistles. As for Flamound, did you miss that it is the Mastiff pokemon? A Mastiff is a large breed of dogs. Also I'd be kicking your butt as far as starters go because I picked Obscuring. While I'd also take Trollosus and Majestings.
Beeboth and Ymirstadon have got to be some of my all time favorite Fakemon ever. I hope Prag reviews the Fakemon region based of Greece. The names for the "games" are Pokemon Wisdom and Madness.
I'm kinda disappointed, because in one of Sir PragMagik's insurgence live video (episode 4). I commented about the Norden region. And I thought I would get a shoutout But maybe he already has this region in mind. Anyways. My team consists of: Infernound (Fire/Ghost) - Honestly the best looking starter plus I love using the fire starter as my first pokemon in a new region. It also has pretty great physical attack. Norden Garchomp (Water/Dragon) - Easily one of the best typings in the game with only 2 weakness. Also this version of garchomp is more a special attacker than a physical one. Thunderailer (Electric/Dragon) - I honestly want Arcanine more since it has dark but when I learned it can still evolve and is one par with a pseudo-legend with a base stat of 590... you know you must get it. Thunderailer is a Special attacker. Trolossus - It is a pretty good mon ngl despite having a base stat total of 500. It has pretty good attack and speed but the ability is not great. Nonetheless it is great since it can take advantage of stab Earthquake. Valkirien (Fairy/Steel) - a very good typing, plus it is one of the pseudo-legends of the game, and it can sweep a ton of teams with that Sky high base attack and lightning fast speed. Dragrism (Dragon/???) - It's mystery typing is somewhat confusing but from my understanding it can be any type as long has you have a gem (the ones introduced in Gen 5, the power-up gems). It is also a Pseudo-legend of the game with balanced stats. Overall I think this is a pretty hard team to train up since it has 4 (actually 3) pseudo-legends but I do what I want. And I want to know your thoughts about it. Let me know!
Even though this is all awesome..I especially love the valkyrie based on Valkirien and Valhalgon. This does bring up a question. What happens if the canon version of the Nordic region pokemon end up being the same if not similar to these designs..is that fine? Or is that copyright infringing? Cause even though the region pokemon that people are making from Nordic, Phillipines, Egyptian, African regions. Their all awesome. But does that also make it harder for GameFreak to make pokemon designs based on said regions if that happens? Or maybe I'm just being silly. What do you all think? Aside from this. My team would be Obsuring for starters, Valkrien, Valhalgon, Nettlesque, Dragrism, Ymirstodon.
I don't really think so tbh, these designs are more like the earlier gens where they take inspiration from a variety of cultures and sources rather than just Scandinavia, but since gen 7 the official games have been leaning much further into the specific regions culture and only have a small few odd ball designs. So I'd assume if an official region were to exist it wouldn't really look like this since these pokemon are more foreign
I'm a ten year old and me and my freind are coding a pokemon region inspired off of sri lanka, starters are grass, poison, ground, those being Orchirp, Scid, Gairaffe, then the final evos, Orchidrion, Arachnodrill, Runeraffe, along with variants of the hoenn starters as your two companions. Teams also now go up to 8. The new type is the fungus type. There's a two mimikyu evos, copiyu or foloyu depending on evo, and loads more :)
The inspiration for the Nettlesque line probably should've been obvious based on the name, but it's based on stinging nettles. It has the poison typing because when stinging nettles come in contact with skin they release a chemical that causes irritation
I tried to make a region just to make fakemon because I thought it would be fun but my region originally was gonna be the three places I have lived before but it just eventually began to just not be based on anywhere but my starters are named sproutad the frog pokemon, flaimp the flambé pokemon, and slake the water snake pokemon.slake's name comes from lake and snake, flaimp's name comes from flame shrimp and flambé, and sproutad's name comes from sprout and tadpole they evolve into leafrog the leaf pile pokemon, flimp the flame pokemon, and oceanicobra the ocean water pokemon. leafrog's name comes from frog leaf and leap, flimp's name comes from flame fire and shrimp, and oceanicobra's name comes from ocean oceanic and cobra.the legendaries name is spotypmander coming from spotted salamander, and type. The regions main and only gimmick is pokemon can fuse to create never before seen pokemon. Edit:my most recent pokemon are named artfrog the paint pokemon, and artadpoile the paint brush pokemon artadpoile evolves into artfrog and they are both poison water types artadpoile's name comes from art, tadpole, poison dart, and dart while artfrog's name comes from dart frog and art and my regions name is the Xantor region. If anyone wants me to tell more I'll need 1k likes on this comment Edit:here's a free piece of lore:my region is thought to be an island but it isn't actually an island at all let's see if anyone can figure out what it is in the replies to this comment and if someone figures it out that is another freebie on lore for my region and more fakemon
My only gripe with the Norden region is that it's missing a Dragon/Fighting pseudo-legend based on the Dovahkiin, and a Ghost/Fire type regional Ponyta based on Arvak... (I freakin' LOVE Skyrim!)
I am mixed tbh, many of these are bangers but some of them, specially the armored/biped ones feel too similar to each otber, like theyre doing gardevoir/gallade many times in the same region. is due to the proportions, I noticed it instantly and is kinda distracting. Grapaconda and Ymirstodon real MVPs btw.
It'd be cool if Crowscure had an ability called bone darts and it functions similarly to rough skin and how if this Pokemon takes damage it deals damage to the other Pokemon but instead of doing so it embeds bone darts into the Pokemon doing damage over time
My team would be: Infernound, Grapaconda, Sealkie, Thunderailer, Bjorking and possibly a flying type from another region (My only complaint is the lack of Flying types in this).
If we brought it back thanks to the crystals found in Cornera ( Brandon’s region based on his home land and the only name I know is it name “ the four corners region “ ) it would’ve been water dragon 47:51
I think that nettulb might be based off of a konker, specifically when it is still in its spiky green shell before it breaks open to reveal a shiny, smooth dark brown seed with a lighter brown, rougher circle on top. Or i could be completely wrong because it almost has nettle in its name and its evolution is obviously based off of nettles
Bone guy's name is Kimimaro. One of the best Rock Lee fights by far! Anyway,I love the idea of a nordic region. The lore up there is so rich and diverse,that would be a cool fangame,for sure. The scars on Belurg just HAVE TO BE a One Piece reference! I loved that whale I defiitely wanted to pick the grass starter and then Grapaconda came along and ruined that for me. So ring boy it is now
Hoggoldiat is a golden boar made by the two dwarves Brokk and Eitri. Gullinbursti is made from pigskin and thousands of pieces of gold wire. Gullinbursti was given to the god Freyr, the boar is faster than any other horse over water and through the air

@@rexilenz Yes! Cookie Run!
There needs to be a Gyarados, Milotic, or Dragonair variant based on Jörmungandr. Dragon-Water or Dragon-Ground would be a fitting typing.

What if it was a legendary ?
@@daigonmocs0785 And it would need a Item or sum

- Bearbarian line may be a reference to berserkers, which literally means "bearskin", because they would literally wear bearskins in battle believing they could "inhabit the strength and ferocity of the bear", and were usually seen as more savage (barbaric) fighters even to other vikings
- Polaris is the "official" name of the North Star, nodded by the fact that it comes from the North Fossil
- the UB system may be a reference to the Norse belief of the 9 realms: the regular Pokemon world is Midgard (realm of humans), Warraith from Helheim (realm of the dishonoured dead), Jotunas from Jotunnheim (realm of the frost giants), Flamernal from Muspelheim (realm of fire), Auroreil from Niflheim (realm of cold fog and mist), and Combhoax may be a reference to Loki and thus a combination of Asgard (realm of the Aesir gods) and Vanaheim (realm of the Vanir gods) because it is a shapeshifter but despite being considered a deity is neither Aesir nor Vanir (some sources claim he is half Jotunn)

The regional glamoew line is based off of Norwegian Forrest cats.
Just like Galarian Meowth.
I love Flaries, especially because having incorporated Aries, being a fire sign with the logo of the goats horns. That's so cool! Such a great idea!
Fakemons are so fun. I am creating a fakemon region based on my homecountry (Italy) Unfortunately i can't draw and i don't have the money so i dont have any drawings, i just describe them. Its pretty fun though
Lots of good boys. An electric Growlithe/Arcanine, a fire good boy starter, a steel-type Rockruff/Lycanroc (I guess they're wolves but they're also good boys along with the water good boy starter), and an ice good boy.
Missed that ice/fighting/ghost wolf line.
This person is very talented. I really like the psychic and ghost types here! I appreciate the dragon and steel types too as those I feel are more challenging to create a concept with.
I started to make a region myself. Although it's based less around an actual place and more around things like mythology, Wicca, and things like that.
I even made starters!
Unfortunatley i cant draw them but i can tell u guys their names! also if u want you can say what starter you would choose. X3
water type - Fillyweed (evolves into Kelpesian)
fire type - Pyroach (evolves into Scoarab)
grass type - Faunfir (evolves into Wendifern)
1:07:45 this Pokémon design is really cool. These corrupted forms look amazing.
"She kinda looks like a cheerleader."
Ah... That explains the Poison type.
Ha ha, lol.
You inspired me to draw up my newly revised region. I want to get the pokemon drawn and potentially commission some dex-entries for them all at some point.
Hey Prag. Something tells me that you have never heard of the Stinging Nettle before. Bc I think that’s what the Nettulb line is based on.
wow. unknowing of this, i was brainstorming for my own Nordic Pokemon region, and the starter ideas were: grass steel type megaloceros (extinct giant deer) with elements from Andvari's ring, a cursed ring of myth that inspired lord of the rings
a fire doggo who would have dwarf elements and evolve into some combination of a bear and Fenrir, another Nordic beast of myth
the ideas for the water starter are still vague, but i was thinking about a water/fairy type witch heron would would have grey coloration in the middle stage, and more white in the last stage to reference Gandalf
These are so awesome so much better than the passed couple gens! Glad my boy Arcanine finally got some justice with cool forms! 😁🙏🏻
47:49 Predaurus looks like its a Tylosaur, marine reptile from the mesozoic thats basically an early snake relative
those are some seriously impressive looking concepts!
As I'm from Europe... I believe a Grimmsnarl regional line would make a lot of sense being Grass/Rock... as we have a nordic troll that usually is are out of rocks and moss. But I believe Grimmsnarl itself will be a bit rounder in shape and possibly have a rounder and bigger nose.
Pretty solid designs. I think the water starter needs some reworking, but the final Evo isn't bad.
Over all I think there's too many pokemon here with bones incorporated into the design. Also, there are two pokemon inspired by Viking ships, so they'd have to cut one or combine them 24:10 & 37:23 not to mention the Evo for the ghost type
I love how it's called Light and Dark, given I had the same idea years back. My idea was the Light Pokemon to be Seraph-themed with a signature move called Blinding Gaze, and the Dark Pokemon to be Lovecraft-themed with a signature move called Blinding Maw.
something i noticed in Bjorking’s design is the Ursaring’s arms on like the neck of Bjorking
You don’t understand how much I want this… like I’ve wanted this for years
Now don’t get me wrong, the aegislash mjolnir is really cool but I kinda wish it looked closer to the mjolnir from Norse mythology rather than the one from marvel comics
Me who only showed support for the cornera region:
Impossible
I'm so glad with how long this vid is otherwise I think I would be like a kid at the candie shop just wanting more and more of these mons
yo the intro goes so HARD 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
I'm not 100% sure, but Flamur's name might come from 'flame' and 'mur', which, in Finnish, is the sound that dogs make while growling. The verb 'to growl' in Finnish is actually 'murista' :)
Please review the Orohn region next time. That would make me realy happy, because i started with this region the bigest part of my Fakemon love.
The fact that I am part Norwegian and seeing the region/pokemon is really cool to see.
I think Muskur is based on a type of ox that lives in the northern Sweden called myskoxe wich means muskox if im not mistaken, a long haired, rather short ox that is said to run faster uphills than downhills.
You work with Mr buddy? He did this and a handful of other regions.
Also a Cerberus isn't a thing for Norse myth. But wolves are associated with the moon and that is linked to water and the seas. Though wolves are also associated with the end of the world given Fenrir and his children devouring even the sun and moon.
The Nettlub line though is just in reference to nettles themselves. It's a common plant in Europe and the poison parts can help or hurt. With the roots being able to help with diabetes, while the stinging parts hurt like crazy. Though the coloring reminds me of Scotish Thistles.
As for Flamound, did you miss that it is the Mastiff pokemon? A Mastiff is a large breed of dogs. Also I'd be kicking your butt as far as starters go because I picked Obscuring. While I'd also take Trollosus and Majestings.
Beeboth and Ymirstadon have got to be some of my all time favorite Fakemon ever.
I hope Prag reviews the Fakemon region based of Greece. The names for the "games" are Pokemon Wisdom and Madness.
the valhala coporation is the living embodyment of "if at first you dont succed, give up"
36:06 I imagine that it’s shiny as well as changing its colour it would also have the lures be the shiny forms
MIDNIGHT LICANROCK WENT FROM LISTENING TO ROCK TO HEAVY METAL WTF
5:22 wolves have webbed paws, which was evolved for ease running on snow, and to swim.
I'm kinda disappointed, because in one of Sir PragMagik's insurgence live video (episode 4). I commented about the Norden region. And I thought I would get a shoutout But maybe he already has this region in mind. Anyways.
My team consists of:
Infernound (Fire/Ghost) - Honestly the best looking starter plus I love using the fire starter as my first pokemon in a new region. It also has pretty great physical attack.
Norden Garchomp (Water/Dragon) - Easily one of the best typings in the game with only 2 weakness. Also this version of garchomp is more a special attacker than a physical one.
Thunderailer (Electric/Dragon) - I honestly want Arcanine more since it has dark but when I learned it can still evolve and is one par with a pseudo-legend with a base stat of 590... you know you must get it. Thunderailer is a Special attacker.
Trolossus - It is a pretty good mon ngl despite having a base stat total of 500. It has pretty good attack and speed but the ability is not great. Nonetheless it is great since it can take advantage of stab Earthquake.
Valkirien (Fairy/Steel) - a very good typing, plus it is one of the pseudo-legends of the game, and it can sweep a ton of teams with that Sky high base attack and lightning fast speed.
Dragrism (Dragon/???) - It's mystery typing is somewhat confusing but from my understanding it can be any type as long has you have a gem (the ones introduced in Gen 5, the power-up gems). It is also a Pseudo-legend of the game with balanced stats.
Overall I think this is a pretty hard team to train up since it has 4 (actually 3) pseudo-legends but I do what I want. And I want to know your thoughts about it. Let me know!
54:35 this is just greater dog from undertale and I love him
Hoggoldiat is based on the Golden Boar Gullinbursti which is a boar that was forged by the same dwarves that made Mjolnir.
Even though this is all awesome..I especially love the valkyrie based on Valkirien and Valhalgon. This does bring up a question.
What happens if the canon version of the Nordic region pokemon end up being the same if not similar to these designs..is that fine? Or is that copyright infringing? Cause even though the region pokemon that people are making from Nordic, Phillipines, Egyptian, African regions. Their all awesome. But does that also make it harder for GameFreak to make pokemon designs based on said regions if that happens? Or maybe I'm just being silly.
What do you all think?
Aside from this. My team would be Obsuring for starters, Valkrien, Valhalgon, Nettlesque, Dragrism, Ymirstodon.
I don't really think so tbh, these designs are more like the earlier gens where they take inspiration from a variety of cultures and sources rather than just Scandinavia, but since gen 7 the official games have been leaning much further into the specific regions culture and only have a small few odd ball designs. So I'd assume if an official region were to exist it wouldn't really look like this since these pokemon are more foreign
No the pokemon company can still freely make whatever pokemon they want with no legal repercussions and most fans wouldn't bat an eye
No, infact I bet the people would be happy
I would definitely choose the fire dog as my starter. Love that it evolves into a fire ghost type too. Reminds me of Skeledirge which I also love.
I'm a ten year old and me and my freind are coding a pokemon region inspired off of sri lanka, starters are grass, poison, ground, those being Orchirp, Scid, Gairaffe, then the final evos, Orchidrion, Arachnodrill, Runeraffe, along with variants of the hoenn starters as your two companions. Teams also now go up to 8. The new type is the fungus type. There's a two mimikyu evos, copiyu or foloyu depending on evo, and loads more :)
The inspiration for the Nettlesque line probably should've been obvious based on the name, but it's based on stinging nettles. It has the poison typing because when stinging nettles come in contact with skin they release a chemical that causes irritation
grapaconda looks like it makes puns constantly and i am here for it
36:33 is my reaction just. Throughout this whole video XD everything is SO COOL AND CUTE
When ravhern line showed up: oh hi rokidee
(I mean little first, then kinda like a fast flyer, aerodynamik, then BIG BIRD)
Yowlark and Cubhite are adorable
Yowlark's line is my favourite
I really like Johanna's design
I tried to make a region just to make fakemon because I thought it would be fun but my region originally was gonna be the three places I have lived before but it just eventually began to just not be based on anywhere but my starters are named sproutad the frog pokemon, flaimp the flambé pokemon, and slake the water snake pokemon.slake's name comes from lake and snake, flaimp's name comes from flame shrimp and flambé, and sproutad's name comes from sprout and tadpole they evolve into leafrog the leaf pile pokemon, flimp the flame pokemon, and oceanicobra the ocean water pokemon. leafrog's name comes from frog leaf and leap, flimp's name comes from flame fire and shrimp, and oceanicobra's name comes from ocean oceanic and cobra.the legendaries name is spotypmander coming from spotted salamander, and type. The regions main and only gimmick is pokemon can fuse to create never before seen pokemon.
Edit:my most recent pokemon are named artfrog the paint pokemon, and artadpoile the paint brush pokemon artadpoile evolves into artfrog and they are both poison water types artadpoile's name comes from art, tadpole, poison dart, and dart while artfrog's name comes from dart frog and art and my regions name is the Xantor region.
If anyone wants me to tell more I'll need 1k likes on this comment
Edit:here's a free piece of lore:my region is thought to be an island but it isn't actually an island at all let's see if anyone can figure out what it is in the replies to this comment and if someone figures it out that is another freebie on lore for my region and more fakemon
Before anyone comments this yes I did mean legendary's not legendaries and yes I did check after typing for spelling flaws
My only gripe with the Norden region is that it's missing a Dragon/Fighting pseudo-legend based on the Dovahkiin, and a Ghost/Fire type regional Ponyta based on Arvak...
(I freakin' LOVE Skyrim!)
Noticed how the Bjorking has like the skin/fur of the regional Ursaring over its shoulders, that's really cool
Plumpur killed me, I nearly through up cuteness particles😂😂😂
I am scared and amazed by Venopine because if it had above average defenses it would be an almost unbeatable tank.
I am mixed tbh, many of these are bangers but some of them, specially the armored/biped ones feel too similar to each otber, like theyre doing gardevoir/gallade many times in the same region.
is due to the proportions, I noticed it instantly and is kinda distracting.
Grapaconda and Ymirstodon real MVPs btw.
It'd be cool if Crowscure had an ability called bone darts and it functions similarly to rough skin and how if this Pokemon takes damage it deals damage to the other Pokemon but instead of doing so it embeds bone darts into the Pokemon doing damage over time
Bjorking was wearing ursaring as a cape thing
My team would be: Infernound, Grapaconda, Sealkie, Thunderailer, Bjorking and possibly a flying type from another region (My only complaint is the lack of Flying types in this).
Shenparong is the Dunsparce evo the fandom wished we got, but tbh I like the funny double/triple segment boi
amazing designs, game freaks give this artist a chance to work with you when you create new Pokemon
52:45 no I think Prikuill is definitely based on a hedgehog and Venupine turns into a porcupine
Crowscure is fucking AWESOME!
If we brought it back thanks to the crystals found in Cornera ( Brandon’s region based on his home land and the only name I know is it name “ the four corners region “ ) it would’ve been water dragon 47:51
This would become my favorite pokemon list and I haven't changed my favourite list since gen 3 came out so that should tell you something
Ahhh, nice. I love that the gym leader with the same name as me is the fairy type specialist, blessed.
I think that nettulb might be based off of a konker, specifically when it is still in its spiky green shell before it breaks open to reveal a shiny, smooth dark brown seed with a lighter brown, rougher circle on top.
Or i could be completely wrong because it almost has nettle in its name and its evolution is obviously based off of nettles
I made a electric type growlithe to,but I can't find that drawing,if I find it,I'd love to show it to you
Bone guy's name is Kimimaro. One of the best Rock Lee fights by far!
Anyway,I love the idea of a nordic region. The lore up there is so rich and diverse,that would be a cool fangame,for sure.
The scars on Belurg just HAVE TO BE a One Piece reference! I loved that whale
I defiitely wanted to pick the grass starter and then Grapaconda came along and ruined that for me. So ring boy it is now
11:05 that was the same idea I had but I made a chinchilla and it was named voltchilla same type
Hoggoldiat is a golden boar made by the two dwarves Brokk and Eitri. Gullinbursti is made from pigskin and thousands of pieces of gold wire. Gullinbursti was given to the god Freyr, the boar is faster than any other horse over water and through the air
These are easily the best designed starters I’ve seen for a while
