And if you think about it Koraidon and Miraidon are just regular pokemon in their timelines, they are legendery in ours because only 2 of them were transported to our timeline
I think Alpacues herders would do a headcount every morning. If you have one more than usual, then pokegod Arceus is in your flock today. If not, you just have a normal Alpacues flock. "I am under immense pressure today. I have exactly 25 Alpacues, today i have 26."
I had made an entire theory that I may record and upload about Eternatus. To simplify it: Eternatus is a Sentient Black Hole and Dynamax Energy is Hawking Radiation.
A good way to explain this concept would probably be carbink and diancie and I feel if you keep them in mind it would give you more freedom when it comes to colours
That a Pokémon is a descendant of a legendary Pokémon or that the legendary is a mutation would be pretty funny Imagine being allowed to breed legendary Pokémon, but all you get is a relatively normal Pokémon with strange moves.
Feel like Sculptimber should have had some sort of Substitute ability, like when a substitute is out it gains an additional hit on moves like Parental bond, to really get into it's puppeteering skills.
That should be an alternate, as its other ability also fits like a glove. It could show how some are more interested in the craft, while others are interested in the puppeteering.
I was thinking more like, once every battle, it starts with a permanent substitute that switches in & out with it until it is destroyed. Substitute created with the move substitute will not switch with the pokemon (I just added it for game balancing since that seemed like overkill)
I think we shall get it along with many other new creatures...that is once they do feature a region based on Peru and the former Inca Empire... Actually now that I think about it since the heaviest creature was confirmed to have lived in Peru (Perucetus Colossus), there could be some story line that could and should involve Kyogre and Wailord.
I feel like Sculptimber was made by someone who admired Regigigas and built it in its image. Regigigas liked it so much he brought it to life and made it act similar to it.
These are incredibly cool! I love how you can read into the history behind Alpaceus in multiple ways, whether Arceus created it in its own image, or the myth of Arceus was created by ancient humans based on the powers of Alpaceus
Lethalaman's shiny looks so cool, I love it! Also, there's just something about Sculptimber that feels comforting, almost as if it is like a protector of children that get lost in the woods, kinda scary but soothing.
Opinion: There are way too many legendaries at this point.And their desgins are more and more extra and grandiose. These remakes are awesome and feels like they fit naturally into the world of Pokémon.
@@b1ockster57 does it really? It makes sense for each region to have its own legends. Legendaries and myrhicals are like the gods and minor deities of the pokémon world, real world cultures and religions have even way more than the ones in pokémon. Some of them aren't even that, mewtwo and genesect were made in a lab as weapons, koraidon and miraidon are just the past and future forms of cyclizar, necrozma and eternatus are from another dimension
@door-chan I think gens 1 and 2 had it right. 5-6 legends/ mythicals per region, and confined to that region, is perfect. Gen 3 began to do too much, but the designs and lore were all solid, so it still worked. Gen 4 was when they began to add too many. It was so cluttered. I can't even recall the ones from Gen 5. Add in access to old legends and it really is too much. They don't feel special anymore, and they should. I love Gen 3 (tied with Gen 2 as my favorite), but I think that's when the oversaturation started. They were incorporated into the story (well, Gen 2 actually did this with the beasts, and then ofc Crystal), and it was EPIC and really felt urgent. So I think they've been going with that philosophy for every game since, which tbh is feeling a bit tired by now. Especially since in Gen 4, they had a god, and how do you top that? So not only do we indeed have too many, they're kind of forced on us now. Gens 6, 8, and 9 dialed it back a bit with the number of legends, which is good.
@@lazyhippie6139Gen 3 and 4 have this problem of their legendaries legitimately feeling like creator deity gods, and I think its a problematic design choice. The weather trio, creation trio, lake trio, and Regigigas feel way too 'important' for the player to just be casually catching. Other generations still somewhat have this problem, like Necrozma being some injured god of light from ultra space, but thay works since its from another dimension. The more casual legendaries like Gen 5, (most of) 7, 8, and 9's legends so far work much better, as they're more local super strong unique pokemon, ones that would actually have a legend built up around them, rather then being religious tales passed down. Like Ogrepon is clearly no local god or something, its a super strong pokemon with no others in its species with a storied past. That an ideal design for a legendary pokemon imo.
I’m only at 10:24, so maybe he mentions this, but I love the little detail of Lethalaman making others “swell up,” as well as having Multiscale as an HA. Very creative way to reference its ties to the Dynamax phenomenon!
Poor Lethalaman that became Etarnatus. The poor thing must be living in pain constantly, or maybe sensations have become an alien concept, for the eons living without nerves...
Sculptimber is definitely my favorite one. Such a unique concept of being a wooden puppeteer. I also love your design for it, it’s reminiscent of Regigigas while having its own identity to the point where it’s very very believable as a fakemon. I could imagine Nintendo using a design similar to this in future games. Keep up the good work!
I like this idea! Would love to see the what the 3 birds, 3 beast, Ho-Oh, Lugia, and the Galar sword and shield legendaries look like as normal pokemon.
Arent the 3 beasts just a more enhanced Vaporeon, Flareon and Jolteon when Ho-Oh revived them? Even abilities match iirc. ...Down to Entei and Flareon both having dogshit movesets.
Imagine some simple farmey lady herding Alpaceus and she gets tired and decides to just hitch a ride on the one in front. They form a very strong bond which others find a bit concerning given she starts claiming it speaks to her. Lo and behold, she's become best friends with god and he's just having too much fun blending in to go back to his true form because he's being treated normal instead of put up on a pedestal with everyone kissing his feet.
Amazing work as always, I really loved the way you managed to evoke the original designs whilst paring them down and twisting them just enough. The Centuroar is aces!!
I have two ideas/questions that you don't seem to have videos about yet: - what if the Eeveelutions could evolve further? - what are your ideas for expanding the Rotom variation line?
Some signature abilities… Sculptimber; Puppeteer It gets Parental Bond when it has a substitute up Prismini; Refraction In Sun, it gets a special attack boost, and in Rain or Hail, it gets a speed boost Lethalaman; Rabid Poison All Pokémon poisoned on the field take Toxic poison instead of regular poison, but get boosts to attack and defense while poisoned Centuroar; Apathy Immune to all forms of passive damage, and heals 1/4th of its HP on the recharge or powering up of an attack like Hyper Beam or Solar Beam respectively.
Scluptimber and the concept behind it is so dope. In my head I imagined wat of it had a Day/Night form. Like I can see a haunted forrest version of it tht comes out at night. It'd b a Ghost/Grass
Personally I always headcanoned Eternatus as an elderitch baby. Think about it. The comet it arrived in is an egg, and Eternatus sleeps inside. It’s napping. Then when it's woken up, way before it was supposed to, it’s angry and scared and throws a huge fit. Kinda like a baby.
Loved all the designs! My favorite is Sculptimber but what if its ability was something related to the move substitute? Like creating a substitute when it drops below half health or something, I think that would fit the puppeter theme better!
I'm impressed by how much your art skills have evolved over time. Each fakemon on this batch looked normal but refined, while also making me wonder how they would look animated in the game. The lore for each of them is something I could totally see in canon, and I liked how you were careful to respect the lore of the legendary they are inspired by. To me, Arceus would retain it's mysterious presence as a god even if in canon it would sometimes hide as an aplaca to watch over people. Great work! Also unrelated but Prismini is lovely, such a cute angy thing
Uranium already exists, even if it's a fakemon. It's name is Urayne, and it's Nuclear type. Go play Pokemon Uranium, trust me. You will NOT be disappointed!
I'd honestly love to see this become a series! If you do continue, could you PLEASE do Rayquaza? I think it'd be funny to see the legendary Pokemon that's capable of dealing with Ground & Kyogre turn into a snake or smth lmao
The idea of a sculptor Pokémon is so fun, the way you described it I could imagine this being a game mechanic akin to Zorua. Imagine you encounter a Skitty you hit it once and text appears that that’s “It was just a wooden puppet…” and then the real Pokémon switches in “A wild Scultimber has appeared!”
my Headcannon is that Arceus gave the world alpaceus to walk among his creations every now and then, after a while other legendaries and/or mythicals asked arceus to use their energies to make these avarege version of them for the same reasons arceus wanted the alpaceus
the first couple designs look the best IMO it feels like the legendary pokemon would be looking down and going "oh I wonder how my children are doing today?"
I think Alpacaeus should have kept the wheel, but turned it into an actual fence. When a herd of Alpacaeus all sit down next to each other, it's nearly impossible to get past to what they're trying to protect.
I like the lore that Alpaceus could be like a reincarnation kind of pokemon, since it would acknowledge a religious idea pokemon has never explored before. Basically, the alpacas were Arceus's favorite souls and they lived a life of luxury and comfort because of their previous life's actions.
I love every single one of these and their detailed descriptions and lore. Really great job, they fit the pokémon world so well that they could easily be official pokémon. Can't wait to check out more!
My headcannon for eturnatus is that it was an ancient alien that had the power to sustain life beyond natural limits, hence the living skeleton and the ability for pokemon to become too large for life to be sustained normally in Galar.
Man you never disappoint with these! I couldn't come up with a criticism to one of these if I even wanted to these are just fantastic (I wonder what a non-legendary Zekrom would look like...)
I think sculptimber should be a grass dark type because it’s based off of a puppeteer, their whole deal is that they manipulate their creations, manipulation sounds like a lot like something a dark type Pokémon would do. Just throwing it out there.
Ok, I just thought of prismini evolving into a de-legended ultra necrozma that protects prismini and that idea just sounds awesome Also amazing designs for all these guys
I think Eturnitus is a paradox pokemon bc Eturnitus was suppose to come back 1000 years after the events of sword and shield but was brought back too soon, thus its future looking form
Is this a Mandela effect, or did Furfrou have a hairstyle based on Arceus? Also, I absolutely love Lethalaman's design. Would love to have one as a Pokemon partner.
Ron I watch all your videos and really enjoy a lot of them. This one blows me away. You are, without a doubt, the GOAT of hitting on a perfect pokemon concept. Not only do you have an idea of what a cool pokemon could look like, but you pair it with an incredible story every time, which both makes your design memorable and, I'm sure, more meaningful to create in the first place. Really splendidly done, not everyone has those chops.
Prismini is the only one I'm kind sketchy on because as you said in the intro, you weren't trying to make these Pokemon look like cute baby Pokemon or pre-evolutions. But that's exactly what it looks like. The others looked like completely basic Pokemon versions of their counterparts as you intended and they were all fantastic. I especially like how Centuroar and Lethalaman turned out. But with Prismini I just see baby Necrozma.
Necrozma is legit just "black crystal that is slightly humanoid" so you don't have much to work with, as opposed to others like Eternatus where it looks like a skeleton.
My comments: 1. I feel like you could have done more with the green dot on Alpaceus' cheek. Give it a function or make it part of a subtle pattern perhaps. 2. Centuroar seems a bit to big. I would say it should be somewhere between 6 and 8 feet instead. Pokémon are generally not as big as they look. (Charizard, Dragonite, Kabutops, Torterra). 3. Lethalamander looks like a better concieved version of Druddigon. Smoother and less clunky. Also a bit too big, but awesome design. Could perhaps be the male counterpart to Salazzle. 4. Sculptimber looks more like a puppet itself than a puppeteer. Perhaps if there was something string-like somewhere in the design to show it's the master of other puppets? 5. Prismini, are the hands rigidly attached to the arms, or does it have wrists to move the hands independently? How does it keep it's balance on those feet? I'd like asnwers to those questions. All very enjoyable redesigns, one of the most interesting videos you've done.
I must admit that Normal type is not simply "no type". The evolution Pokémon Eevee is normal, Ditto who changes its shape is normal, Regigigas, the boss of Regies is normal, and the god of Pokémon Arceus is normal as well. This is the "can be anything" type in the Pokémon franchise!
I’d imagine that if Prismini evolved into Necrosma, the idea for it’s evolution line would be a hero living long enough to be the villain. Like, Prismini would be loner who would help those in need, putting people and Pokémon before itself. Prismini would evolve into its second evolution and would be more of an anti-hero, doing whatever it wants, helping those who would give back to it, it would also use a new found ability to drain the light of its opponents rarely. And the final stage would be Necrosma, who doesn’t care for anything other than draining the light of all the universes that exist, fully becoming a villain.
Man. There are a lot of great fakemon artists out there and all, but I really am delighted and stunned by just how well you capture the style and feeling of real Pokemon. A lot of times, designs are beautifully drawn but look like they'd be more at home in other settings, or they end up really similar to existing Pokemon and don't shine on their own. WHICH??? Makes this video even more baffling given staying similar to existing ones was entirely the point, but you still managed to make every one of them look unique and entirely Like Pokemon. I could imagine running into any one of them in-game. Obviously Eternatus was the design that changed most, but with the others, I could absolutely imagine all of them as a Carbink / Diancie type relation too. Like you can see similarities between Carbink and Diancie and easily see how Diancie relates back to it as a sort of ascended-to-godhood form, but there's still a ton of difference and Carbink looks solid as its own stand-alone species too, it doesn't look like it exists to become Diancie. You captured that vibe in all of them other than Eternatus, and Lethalaman is just its own brand of awesome that works really well for the different angle you took. It would look especially at home next to Toxtricity and Druddigon, yet doesn't look redundant with either. Amazing work, genuinely!
4:27 Herder: *forgets to feed them* Herder: Wait a minute... Crap! I gotta go feed them! Herder: Here you go guys, sorry for forgetting! Alpaceus: *transforms* Arceus: How dare you. Face my judgement, foolish mortal. Herder: Wait noooooo
@@Garden_Warfare_Gaming Technically, both are considered mythical for post 4th gen in game postgame battle facilities and online battles. However, Phione can be bred an unlimited number of times and has a much smaller base stat total (480 vs Manaphy's 600), so I tend to consider it more "mundane" than "mythical".
Ahhhh, they are so amazing=3 I need a whole farm of Alpaceus! Different colours too=3 I want to befriend Sculptimber and Prismini=) What an awesome episode, You are so talented=3
I like to imagine Sculptimber backstory being an ancient artisan, totally not leonardo da vinci or gepetto, seeing regigigas in the distance and getting inspired to make Sculptimber to show what he had seen, but the puppet got brought to life by regigigas, seeing it and looking flattered, but not making it as powerfull as the other regis
I like to think that Prismini is the result of Necrozma getting stuck on Earth millions of years ago, and a species of Pokémon saw how powerful it was and, slowly over the millennia, evolved to look like and have similar abilities to Necrozma to be able to defend themselves.
I like most of these but I feel Primini should've gone the route of Carbink with Diance and just be a little light-absorbing prism that floats around until it becomes Necrozma when it's charged. Not as interesting design wise but I feel lore-wise it'd be pretty cool.
For Leathalaman: Another thing with fossil restoration and stuff (Reconstructing from bones) is that people for hundreds of years didn't realize dinosaurs had feathers. Leathalaman gives me the vibe it needs feathers and is based off of a salamander, right? The axolotl is a type of salamander that had feathers, and is associated with regeneration (Which I feel would be some nice irony) but while they're associated with regeneration, they will eat each other and are at heart, predators. That and we have no axolotl pokemon, I think it would be cool Also love how Leathalaman's shiny is literally the same colouring as the galarian zigzagoon line
This was really interesting and fun to watch. I think you came up with some great concepts and executed the designs well while still keeping some of the original inspiration. I hope this becomes a series!
Once again, you knock it outta the park with your designs 👏🏼 I absolutely Love Sculptimber, Centuroar, and Lethalaman, they really capture the original regular pkmn that allude to a legendary pkmn energy that this video is going for-not to mention they're just wicked cool concepts and executions in general AHH !! Wonderful job TG
I think a cool signature move for Sculptimber would be a new substitute which takes three hits to remove, regardless of damage. Three representing the original 3 regis, because 5 would be a little broken. Maybe the substitute takes 33% of his health instead of 50%. And with woodworker boosting his grass substitute's priority, he could use slower moves the next turn since he has a substitute up. Other options might include having the substitute add grassy terrain or sunny day.
you actually could have still kept a crystal motif with dialga :D but just had to make it quartz. Quartz is used in some watches, When electricity passes through a quartz crystal, it vibrates at a precise frequency. which helps in accuracy of telling time
I like to believe arceus is so powerful he can’t use moves like earthquakes without it being a world ending catastrophe so he sometimes becomes an alpaceus just to tryout all the cool attacks
While watching sculptimber, i was thinking for the name, something like hedgepetto. Since hes made of wood like Pinocchio, and is also a puppeteer. Still love it though
I love Sculptimber!!! I find it creepiest out of all of them in this video, but that's also why I love it!! I also love Alpaceus! It's so cute and fluffy!!!
4:44 You should've went with a sundial for Centuroar esp. b/c you hearkened back to ancient greece via the headgear, etc. 😊 the ghost-type grandfather clock is still cool but would work better with a stuffy Galar brit theme & the ding-dong should also swing freely as part of its design 😃
I like the idea of Alpaceus being a unique form of Arceus that is rare, but can appear if you’re lucky. And for the ring, I would’ve added a small ring of yellow fur to represent it.
Really love these. Altho Lethalaman looks so different from Eternetus that I i wouldn't have ever guessed their relationship. But regardless, it's still a beautiful Fakemon.
PART 2 is out NOW! - ruclips.net/video/X6LOak06kLI/видео.htmlsi=G2FZLy1Ujms9wF9A
just looking at the thumbnail makes me love this video
Just imagine being a random shepherd and one of your alpaca just turns out to be God
One heck of a role reversal
That's some Old Testament bullshit
“The lord is my shepherd but in this case, he is my sheep/alpaca and I will lead him to green pastures.” -some random shepherd, probably
I want to reply to this but my brain won’t make it up so that is really really funny
“I , Arceus is pleased with the kindness of you shepherd you will get a blessing” would be insane to hear from a alpaca that’s actually god
Alpaceus should have a similar ability to multitype, but it depends on how its hair is cut
Literally Furfrou but with a purpose, I love that!
Make it blankets instead
Furfrou but alpaca
I play a lot of gen 6 so I do not feel the pain you guys do over losing furfrou
-Opponent used Cut
-Alpaceus transformed into the Dragon type!
sounds exactly like one of the fakemon one of the artist did in "4 artist fakemon #8"
Cyclizar is a great example of de-legendary & leaves the possibilities wide open

Alpaceus headcannon: Alpaceus was bred from this unknown alpaca pokémon by this farmer who saw arceus and wanted to replicate it
Centuroar feels like the offspring of Dialga and Giratina. I love it!

Sculptimber reminds me of the beta design of Regigigas. Maybe not so much in appearance, but in personality.
Lethalaman's shiny looks so cool, I love it!
Also, there's just something about Sculptimber that feels comforting, almost as if it is like a protector of children that get lost in the woods, kinda scary but soothing.
Now we wait the preevo form,by the way your impression of scluptimber remind me of Disney Gepetto

The comet it arrived in is an egg, and Eternatus sleeps inside. It’s napping. Then when it's woken up, way before it was supposed to, it’s angry and scared and throws a huge fit.
Kinda like a baby.
Loved all the designs! My favorite is Sculptimber but what if its ability was something related to the move substitute? Like creating a substitute when it drops below half health or something, I think that would fit the puppeter theme better!
I'm impressed by how much your art skills have evolved over time. Each fakemon on this batch looked normal but refined, while also making me wonder how they would look animated in the game. The lore for each of them is something I could totally see in canon, and I liked how you were careful to respect the lore of the legendary they are inspired by. To me, Arceus would retain it's mysterious presence as a god even if in canon it would sometimes hide as an aplaca to watch over people. Great work!
Also unrelated but Prismini is lovely, such a cute angy thing
Draw a Periodic Table of Elements as Pokemon:
Titanium
Uranium
Nitrogen (or Liquid Nitrogen)
etc.
this could be so cool
Imagine if all 118 elements were Pokémon types and they all had type advantages and disadvantages over each other O_O
Uranium already exists, even if it's a fakemon.
It's name is Urayne, and it's Nuclear type.
Go play Pokemon Uranium, trust me.
You will NOT be disappointed!
I'd honestly love to see this become a series! If you do continue, could you PLEASE do Rayquaza? I think it'd be funny to see the legendary Pokemon that's capable of dealing with Ground & Kyogre turn into a snake or smth lmao
Sculptimber would look perfect for a grass version of one of the Regi's!
It would probably have to be renamed to Regimber
I Imagine Alpaceus having a signature move that lets it spit on other pokemon with holy water and it is super effective against ghosts
The idea of a sculptor Pokémon is so fun, the way you described it I could imagine this being a game mechanic akin to Zorua. Imagine you encounter a Skitty you hit it once and text appears that that’s “It was just a wooden puppet…” and then the real Pokémon switches in “A wild Scultimber has appeared!”
my Headcannon is that Arceus gave the world alpaceus to walk among his creations every now and then, after a while other legendaries and/or mythicals asked arceus to use their energies to make these avarege version of them for the same reasons arceus wanted the alpaceus
You nailed all of these, we need more :)
the first couple designs look the best IMO it feels like the legendary pokemon would be looking down and going "oh I wonder how my children are doing today?"
I like how you still connect these watered down mons with their legendary counterparts
I think Alpacaeus should have kept the wheel, but turned it into an actual fence. When a herd of Alpacaeus all sit down next to each other, it's nearly impossible to get past to what they're trying to protect.
"They are constantly getting stuck in fences. Smart farmers don't remove them, knowing they will just get stuck again"
@@elainegoates9792 EXACTLY!!
Theory: you put a diamond in Centuroar's chest and you get a Dialga. A sort of heart of Te Fiti scenario from Moana
I like the lore that Alpaceus could be like a reincarnation kind of pokemon, since it would acknowledge a religious idea pokemon has never explored before. Basically, the alpacas were Arceus's favorite souls and they lived a life of luxury and comfort because of their previous life's actions.
I love every single one of these and their detailed descriptions and lore. Really great job, they fit the pokémon world so well that they could easily be official pokémon. Can't wait to check out more!
My headcannon for eturnatus is that it was an ancient alien that had the power to sustain life beyond natural limits, hence the living skeleton and the ability for pokemon to become too large for life to be sustained normally in Galar.
Man you never disappoint with these! I couldn't come up with a criticism to one of these if I even wanted to these are just fantastic (I wonder what a non-legendary Zekrom would look like...)
"Prismini are born completely clear" yeah that's the sort of dex writing that bites you in the ass the second you hatch an egg
Idk why I love Sculptimber so much, maybe it’s how friendly and Ghibli it looks 💚
I think sculptimber should be a grass dark type because it’s based off of a puppeteer, their whole deal is that they manipulate their creations, manipulation sounds like a lot like something a dark type Pokémon would do. Just throwing it out there.
Ok, I just thought of prismini evolving into a de-legended ultra necrozma that protects prismini and that idea just sounds awesome
Also amazing designs for all these guys
I think Eturnitus is a paradox pokemon bc Eturnitus was suppose to come back 1000 years after the events of sword and shield but was brought back too soon, thus its future looking form
Is this a Mandela effect, or did Furfrou have a hairstyle based on Arceus? Also, I absolutely love Lethalaman's design. Would love to have one as a Pokemon partner.
Mandela effect
Mandela effect.
There was an Arceus-esque haircut in the anime, but not in the games.
Mandela effect... So that's how they now call making things up and misremembering lol
There was a very brief moment in the anime where it did.
Ron I watch all your videos and really enjoy a lot of them. This one blows me away. You are, without a doubt, the GOAT of hitting on a perfect pokemon concept. Not only do you have an idea of what a cool pokemon could look like, but you pair it with an incredible story every time, which both makes your design memorable and, I'm sure, more meaningful to create in the first place. Really splendidly done, not everyone has those chops.
Prismini is the only one I'm kind sketchy on because as you said in the intro, you weren't trying to make these Pokemon look like cute baby Pokemon or pre-evolutions. But that's exactly what it looks like. The others looked like completely basic Pokemon versions of their counterparts as you intended and they were all fantastic. I especially like how Centuroar and Lethalaman turned out. But with Prismini I just see baby Necrozma.
Necrozma is legit just "black crystal that is slightly humanoid" so you don't have much to work with, as opposed to others like Eternatus where it looks like a skeleton.
My comments:
1. I feel like you could have done more with the green dot on Alpaceus' cheek. Give it a function or make it part of a subtle pattern perhaps.
2. Centuroar seems a bit to big. I would say it should be somewhere between 6 and 8 feet instead. Pokémon are generally not as big as they look. (Charizard, Dragonite, Kabutops, Torterra).
3. Lethalamander looks like a better concieved version of Druddigon. Smoother and less clunky. Also a bit too big, but awesome design. Could perhaps be the male counterpart to Salazzle.
4. Sculptimber looks more like a puppet itself than a puppeteer. Perhaps if there was something string-like somewhere in the design to show it's the master of other puppets?
5. Prismini, are the hands rigidly attached to the arms, or does it have wrists to move the hands independently? How does it keep it's balance on those feet? I'd like asnwers to those questions.
All very enjoyable redesigns, one of the most interesting videos you've done.
I love these! They almost feel more lile Pokémon than their originals!
I must admit that Normal type is not simply "no type". The evolution Pokémon Eevee is normal, Ditto who changes its shape is normal, Regigigas, the boss of Regies is normal, and the god of Pokémon Arceus is normal as well. This is the "can be anything" type in the Pokémon franchise!
3:10 "Starting out with proportions of an alpaca"
*Draws a penis*
I’d imagine that if Prismini evolved into Necrosma, the idea for it’s evolution line would be a hero living long enough to be the villain. Like, Prismini would be loner who would help those in need, putting people and Pokémon before itself. Prismini would evolve into its second evolution and would be more of an anti-hero, doing whatever it wants, helping those who would give back to it, it would also use a new found ability to drain the light of its opponents rarely. And the final stage would be Necrosma, who doesn’t care for anything other than draining the light of all the universes that exist, fully becoming a villain.
Man. There are a lot of great fakemon artists out there and all, but I really am delighted and stunned by just how well you capture the style and feeling of real Pokemon. A lot of times, designs are beautifully drawn but look like they'd be more at home in other settings, or they end up really similar to existing Pokemon and don't shine on their own. WHICH??? Makes this video even more baffling given staying similar to existing ones was entirely the point, but you still managed to make every one of them look unique and entirely Like Pokemon.
I could imagine running into any one of them in-game. Obviously Eternatus was the design that changed most, but with the others, I could absolutely imagine all of them as a Carbink / Diancie type relation too. Like you can see similarities between Carbink and Diancie and easily see how Diancie relates back to it as a sort of ascended-to-godhood form, but there's still a ton of difference and Carbink looks solid as its own stand-alone species too, it doesn't look like it exists to become Diancie. You captured that vibe in all of them other than Eternatus, and Lethalaman is just its own brand of awesome that works really well for the different angle you took. It would look especially at home next to Toxtricity and Druddigon, yet doesn't look redundant with either.
Amazing work, genuinely!
It's funny, back in Gen 1 I thought that the Legendary Birds were unique mutations of Spearows/Fearows.
4:27
Herder: *forgets to feed them*
Herder: Wait a minute... Crap! I gotta go feed them!
Herder: Here you go guys, sorry for forgetting!
Alpaceus: *transforms*
Arceus: How dare you. Face my judgement, foolish mortal.
Herder: Wait noooooo
This concept reminds me a LOT on how breeding a Manaphy (Legendary) will result in a Phione (Not Legendary).
Both of them are mythical though?
@@Garden_Warfare_Gaming Technically, both are considered mythical for post 4th gen in game postgame battle facilities and online battles.
However, Phione can be bred an unlimited number of times and has a much smaller base stat total (480 vs Manaphy's 600), so I tend to consider it more "mundane" than "mythical".
Great video as always! I loved the arceus one!
Lethaluman getting stripped to bone is a thing that I don’t want to imagine
Ahhhh, they are so amazing=3 I need a whole farm of Alpaceus! Different colours too=3 I want to befriend Sculptimber and Prismini=) What an awesome episode, You are so talented=3
I like to imagine Sculptimber backstory being an ancient artisan, totally not leonardo da vinci or gepetto, seeing regigigas in the distance and getting inspired to make Sculptimber to show what he had seen, but the puppet got brought to life by regigigas, seeing it and looking flattered, but not making it as powerfull as the other regis
“I’m not gonna make pre-evolved forms”
Prismini:
As an artist myself, I'm pretty used to people thinking I'm drawing something sus during the sketch stage of my work. 3:10

How was this comment one day ago if the video was made 1 hour ago?
@@MrChronicallyOnline idk
Hey @truegreen7 i found you in the comments of pokemon talk.... Multiple times +2 respect
I feel like alpaceus could have been spelt allpaceus, to give it another reference to arceus with "all packing god" as the idea
I like to think that Prismini is the result of Necrozma getting stuck on Earth millions of years ago, and a species of Pokémon saw how powerful it was and, slowly over the millennia, evolved to look like and have similar abilities to Necrozma to be able to defend themselves.
I like most of these but I feel Primini should've gone the route of Carbink with Diance and just be a little light-absorbing prism that floats around until it becomes Necrozma when it's charged. Not as interesting design wise but I feel lore-wise it'd be pretty cool.
I like the idea that Prismini have a weird obsession with Pyroar and Swoobat
Lethalamon gives me drudiggon vibes and I love it
For Leathalaman:
Another thing with fossil restoration and stuff (Reconstructing from bones) is that people for hundreds of years didn't realize dinosaurs had feathers. Leathalaman gives me the vibe it needs feathers and is based off of a salamander, right? The axolotl is a type of salamander that had feathers, and is associated with regeneration (Which I feel would be some nice irony) but while they're associated with regeneration, they will eat each other and are at heart, predators. That and we have no axolotl pokemon, I think it would be cool
Also love how Leathalaman's shiny is literally the same colouring as the galarian zigzagoon line
This was really interesting and fun to watch. I think you came up with some great concepts and executed the designs well while still keeping some of the original inspiration. I hope this becomes a series!
i love sculptimber its so weird and eerie looking but the goofy leaf mustache beard makes it look somewhat friendly
2:35 "a lama stuck in a fence" I will never see them the same again 😂😂😂
When I first saw Alpaceus, I thought he looked like a lamb, going with the "Lamb of God" idea
...then you mentioned he's an alpaca
Once again, you knock it outta the park with your designs 👏🏼 I absolutely Love Sculptimber, Centuroar, and Lethalaman, they really capture the original regular pkmn that allude to a legendary pkmn energy that this video is going for-not to mention they're just wicked cool concepts and executions in general AHH !! Wonderful job TG
I think a cool signature move for Sculptimber would be a new substitute which takes three hits to remove, regardless of damage. Three representing the original 3 regis, because 5 would be a little broken. Maybe the substitute takes 33% of his health instead of 50%. And with woodworker boosting his grass substitute's priority, he could use slower moves the next turn since he has a substitute up. Other options might include having the substitute add grassy terrain or sunny day.
you actually could have still kept a crystal motif with dialga :D but just had to make it quartz. Quartz is used in some watches, When electricity passes through a quartz crystal, it vibrates at a precise frequency. which helps in accuracy of telling time
I like to believe arceus is so powerful he can’t use moves like earthquakes without it being a world ending catastrophe so he sometimes becomes an alpaceus just to tryout all the cool attacks
While watching sculptimber, i was thinking for the name, something like hedgepetto. Since hes made of wood like Pinocchio, and is also a puppeteer. Still love it though
I love Sculptimber!!! I find it creepiest out of all of them in this video, but that's also why I love it!! I also love Alpaceus! It's so cute and fluffy!!!
I got worried when he started sketching the basic forms for the neck and had of the alpaca 😮💨
Lol i just noticed
4:44 You should've went with a sundial for Centuroar esp. b/c you hearkened back to ancient greece via the headgear, etc. 😊 the ghost-type grandfather clock is still cool but would work better with a stuffy Galar brit theme & the ding-dong should also swing freely as part of its design 😃
I like the idea of Alpaceus being a unique form of Arceus that is rare, but can appear if you’re lucky. And for the ring, I would’ve added a small ring of yellow fur to represent it.
Really love these. Altho Lethalaman looks so different from Eternetus that I i wouldn't have ever guessed their relationship. But regardless, it's still a beautiful Fakemon.
amazing!!! you’re so talented!! You’re illustrations were top tier! Def would love to see this as a series!
Lore idea for alpaceus - it was one of the first Pokémon species to work with human Pokémon trainers
Arceus if he never got stuck in that damn fence.
