As a note, Koraidon used to have a name like all the other paradox pokemon, as was miraidon, the professor just renamed them after. They were called Winged King and Iron Serpent

I think having past forms based on not fully evolved mons is meant to imply that stone evolutions were a development later down the line (since misdreavus, jigglypuff, and magneton all evolve by stones now)

Even Koraidon & Miraido also have their "codename". Koraidon is Winged King Miraidon is Iron Serpent Oh and Roaring Moon is based on Mega Salamance

The naming convention for the Paradox Pokémon is actually kinda cool. For past paradoxes those pokémon are likely named after myths or legends of the ancient humans, for example "The Great Tusk" . As for the future paradox they might be name after their model, being all assembled machines for example "Model: Iron Valiant"

The "Great Tusk" "Scream Tail" type names are basically just the species names like "Electric Mouse"

My personal favourite quirk of scarlet paradox mons is how the prehistoric Salamence is based on it's Mega form.

im literally so in love with the art in this video. especially the lineless / chibi art. amzing video, well done! cant wait to see the next video for the future mons!!

If you notice something about the pre-evo Paradoxes, they’re all stone evolutions (well, Magnezone retroactively). Maybe that has something to do with it?

I love your paradox designs so much!! The honedge is just brilliant, and I love the designs for Dragapult and the Elder Bunker. Also your simplified style of the canon past paradox mons are adorable. Excited to see your take on the future paradox designs as well as the rest of the STEM region.

You should make a region of pokemon based on microscopic organisms.

I would have made acient dragapult water dragon since it use to roam prehistoric waters but ground type fits perfectly too, not all pokemon that live in bodies of water have to be water type. As the paleontology nerd i am i really enjoyed the Past paradox pokemon and this video. This video was amazing, I hope you make more videos like this. Keep up the great work :D

i really enjoy how you have added the new gimmicks into your own region with such short notice! I am writing this before i watch the vid, so i am very excited to see these designs!

On the naming convention of Paradox Pokemon, they all sound like rough translations of East Asian names and monikers. I remember hearing that in Chinese, since the characters represent syllables, they make combos to refer to other things. For example, 'electric brain' means computer, 'big bear cat' means panda, and 'flying machine' is, well, an airplane. I guess maybe the Paradox Pokemon names are translations of the names they had in their times assuming civilization either did exist way back when or still exists that far ahead. Since Game Freak and Nintendo are based in Japan, that would explain why the names sound the way they do. But I am not Asian nor do I speak any other languages besides English and a bit of Spanish at the moment, so take that with a grain of salt. Though personally, I would like it better if they took a route similar to the Ultra Beasts where they are referred to by these 'nicknames' until upon capture we learn their true names.

Pokedex entry's for Koraidon and Miraidon mention their paradox names being Winged King and Iron Serpent

I must say, the past Dragapult probably should be Dragon Water instead of Dragon Ground. From what we have found and studied of Diplocaulus, its thought the animal was completely aquatic. It still is one hell of a neat design though. And hell, if the paradox pokemon are replications of the past or future, being whats effectively an outdated paleo reconstruction would actually fit very well for that!

Now looking at it, Dragapult does deserve a past Paradox form. Hopefully it gets one in the DLC.

Crash Giant would definetly be my favorite, it looks badass but also elegant, a combo we dont see often in the pokemon games sadly

My favorite is Slither wing. It still retains the “Volcarona” in its design and I love the slight differences which follows: Terrestrial build, big and fluffier, and the abdomen being the shape of a tail.

Only thing I might change is I think piercing cut would work better as a Ghost/Rock type. Ghost/Fighting works too, but I feel Ghost/Rock would be more accurate for the stone arrowheads, plus it'd be a unique type.

I think that for marsh jet, you should have added multiple atlatl to replace the dreepy slots, and put a thinner, sleeker dreepy on those atlatl.

alright, i've for sure fallen in love with your art nort, but JEEZZZ my childhood love for ancient animals is EXPLODING atm with your art of the diplocaulus - so excited to see more of your work!

Ay! The king is back!! Loving the art style! Just found the channel yesterday and binged the videos! As a nerd, I love the content! ❤❤❤

As someone who loves Aegislash's design, I deeply thank you for that Past-adox version!

These are awesome! I wonder how you feel about the future paradox mons? For me the fact they're all robots in the same style and all have Iron in their names felt quite lazy. I'd love to see another take on what "future pokemon" could be but I'm not sure what could be done. If anyone sees this comment and has any ideas I'm Definitely interested to hear them 👀

May I drop off an idea for your Future Paradox Pokemon video? Consider the Iron Valiant. It is a fusion design of both Gardevoir and Gallade, two related but distinct pokemon. Perhaps you could make a different fusion design for Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan? Perhaps even Hitmontop if you can squeeze him in? You could call him the Iron Champion, or something.

I feel like the two-word names are not the true names, but the in-game classification of the Paradox Pokemon, like how Pikachu is the "Mouse Pokemon" (except the legendaries. Koraidon and Miraidon are 100% their in-game true names). For example, if more research was done on, say... Great Tusk, for example, it would probably become something like "Protophan, the Great Tusk Pokemon" rather than "Great Tusk, the Paradox Pokemon". Same with future forms, like Iron Treads becoming something like "Neophan, the Iron Treads Pokemon" instead of "Iron Treads, the Paradox Pokemon". Then again, this is just my dumb little theory. I know those were pretty mid-tier new names for the past and future Donphans btw, but I didn't just wanna call them "Donphan". Same reason we don't call both Koraidon and Miraidon "Cylizar".

great designs, loving the creativity! im also a big fan of the educational aspect of your videos, i just subbed today for the STEM mon and this video was a pleasant surprise! :-)

if i were to add a dex entry for one of these pokemon, it whould be piercing cut and here is what i imagined it to be: "Carved from ancient wood, Primal Cut causes a primal rage into those who tried to wield it and also makes its user hunt with it for all of eternity. It's said that anyone who was affected by Primal Cut is still roaming around the world with decaying flesh and in agonizing pain to this day."

The Flintstones motif in the background music when talking about Sandy Shocks was a nice touch

Imagine catching a piercing cut and it just goes “yabadabadoo”

Decided to make stat spreads for these four for fun, keeping in mind both the 570 BST (with exceptions) and the fact every stat from every past version is an odd number. Elder Bunker: 63/133/121/93/117/43 A more offensive take on Toxapex, behaving more like a tank as supposed to a wall. It looks like it should hurt, so it gets a meaty attack stat, solid special attack, and slightly higher HP and speed, all without losing too much defense and special defense, although there’s still a notable drop. Piercing Cut: 69/153/60/103/69/107 No shield here, so its basically blade form Aegislash, but with high speed to compensate for its permanent frailty. It’s mostly physical now instead of for some reason being mixed, that was always kinda weird, although special attack is still respectable. Marsh Jet: 107/121/127/51/87/ 77 Looks far less mobile than Dragapult, so the drop in speed is a given. That speed moved onto bulk, mainly HP and physical defense. It had to take a hit somewhere else due to having a lower BST, so I just nuked its special attack. Crash Giant: 153/103/97/113/71/33 Not much to say here. Special defense is kinda low, but that’s offset by that massive HP, with everything else being decent except that abysmal speed, but luckily Trick Room’s a thing. Sidenote on Crash Giant: Protosynthesis (the ability past paradoxes bar Koraidon have) works on sunlight. A water past paradox is not gonna like that lol

i think for scream tail, flutter wing, and sandy shocks on why they are the way they are is cause i guess moon stones, dusk stones, and areas with extremely dense magnetic/electrical fields back then

I've been thinking about a past version of Dragapult before it died. It seemed fitting too as Dragapult is violet exclusive (like how Salamence is Violet exclusive so Scarlet gets Roaring Moon to compensate). So your art satisfied me

I genuinely love these designs. The video quality was great and I really enjoyed the content, despite the funky mic lol. +1 like, +1 sub

I think Scarlet should have added Dragonite as a prehistoric that would work too It could be the blue dragonite everyone wants Although a past dragapult would be so cool

i love your designs so much! marsh jet might have to be my favorite. id love to see something like these in a possible dlc.

Hey i just found your channel, watched your other videos and now you put out a new video and im kinda excited before watching it! Great channel and great ideas!

A little random but here’s what it’d be like if all the Ancient Paradox mon (aside from Koraidon) had names just like normal mon: Great Tusk - Primitusk (primitive + tusk) Brute Bonnet - Mushrute (mushroom + brute; second half also sounds like ‘root’) Sandy Shocks - Maglodyte (magnet + troglodyte) Scream Tail - Gigglyguff (giggly (I imagine that it giggles pretty loud) + gigante (Spanish for “giant”, since many ancient creatures tend to be way bigger than their modern counterparts) + guff (as in foolish talk or ‘guffaw’, a boisterous laugh (thanks to @masterenlightenment5040 for this idea)); following the naming convention of the Jigglypuff line was the best idea I had in mind) Flutter Mane - Flutteruja (flutter + bruja (Spanish for “witch”)) Slither Wing - Slipterona (slip + pteron (Greek for “wing”) + -rona (same ending as Volcarona)) Roaring Moon - Roarescent (roar + crescent + fluorescent, which can mean vividly colorful but is mainly defined as emitting light after absorbing light or other electromagnetic radiation) Alright, time for a Bonus Round! Elder Bunker - Acanthulhu (Acanthaster (genus name of the crown-of-thorns starfish) + Cthulhu (in reference to both Sollasina cthulhu and the Lovecraftian fellow that it’s named after)) Piercing Cut - Archertip (archaeo (relating to prehistory) + archer + chert + tip (of a spear and/or arrow); the “Ar-“ can also derive from Artemis, the goddess of hunting, since Aegislash’s name already references Greek mythology with the aegis) Marsh Jet - Tetropel (tetrapod + propel; this might be the hardest to work on ngl) Crash Giant - Quividras (quiriquinensis & parvidens (two specific names of Aristonectes, the longest known plesiosaur) + -dra (as in dragon) + -ras (same ending as Lapras); there’s also ‘quiver’ since I’m pretty sure that’s how a small creature would react to something massive and long, aside from being in awe I guess)

Great designs! I just beat Pokémon Scarlet and I can see your designs fitting in perfectly with the rest. Looking forward to your future paradox video too!

I think I have a theory for some of them being non-fully evolved. jigglypuff is because it needs a moonstone to evolve right well what if the elemental stones that were needed to evolve them weren’t around in the past which is why jigglypuff gets is paradox form and not evolution. Same applies to misschievous. The elemental stones that are needed for their evolution weren’t around in the past so them having paradox forms and not their evolution is does kind of make sense when you think about it

I like how the past mons are mostly ones who got new evolutions after being introduced

the arrow head slashing cut, i love the fella :D

When I subscribed to this channel you didn't have 400 subscribers yet and now you have over 7k *keep it going bro*

That ancient Lapras form makes sooo much sense.

For the past Paradox Pokémons, I would like: - Great Tusk, - Roaring Moon, - Slither Wing, - Koraidon

I love Piercing Cut's design!

All the NFE past paradox mons are mons that evolve with stones or the charged area that magneton uses, so that might be something

I really love the concept of past paradox mons especially. I recently made a video with bad audio about 1 particular paradox mon that didn't appear in the game yet and how it ties into the lore of the legendary beasts. There aren't much facts and mostly it is a common theory what the legendary beasts used to be, but I feel interested in the lore for the first time since gen 2 what it means for the origin of the beasts, Ho-oh's powers and the Pokemon that people theorized were originally the legendary beasts. I think the past Pokemon not all being fully evolves is nice as a flavor since it shows that after time past and the climate changes and whatnot, the Pokemon that have the genetic materials of the past paradox mons needed to find another way to adapt, which came in form of literal evolution. Even Salamence who might have gotten stronger taps can tap into its pre-historic genetic material through Mega Evolution and I think that is a nice touch. Past Volcarona kinda looks like an inbetween of Larvarsa and Volcarona. It also focuses on physical attack like Larvarsa and its bug typing. The future version is more focused on the evolved Volcarona and fully embraces the advancement of evolution as it focuses on the special attack and speed stat of Volcarona trying to improve it. Not to mention embracing the Fire Typing and taking advantage of the Fiery Dance signature move Volcarona obtained after evolving from Larvarsa. There seems also the theme that non of the mons have Steel Typing which represents technology and future. Of all Pokemon that could get a Paradox form, I feel Gyarados might have been a good canditate for a past counterpart as it represents a Dragon that seemed to have been demoted for being too aggressive and even it's mega is Dark Type which is the Evil Type in Japanese. So I could see a giant dragon called Violent Serpent with Water/Dragon Typing that speciallizes in powerful offense and decent speed. But I think the developters went out of their way to only give Dragon Typing to the cover Pokemon. Maybe we could have also gotten a Pokemon that has the genetic material of several other Pokemon. Like something that looks like Luvdisc and Alomomola. Or a sea creature that has a horn like Golking, the fins like Seadra, fangs of Sharpedo, eyes of Garchomp and the body + colorscheme of Milotic.

Roaring moon and Iron valiant are variations of the mega evolution. Hence why they are placed differently in the pokedex and have a bst of 590 instead of 570

The past paradox pokemon remind me of David Peter's style reconstructions. Lots of weird feathers and spikes for no reason.

Man your art and video styles are so cool keep it up

Add a bite mark shape/bear trap shape pattern on the Marsh Jets face (like the star on garchomps head) and I would call the design perfect. For context, the species or group of species Dragapult is based on are very often found with their face/snout missing-because Dimetrodon would take bites out of their face. It’s a very rare occurrence in the fossil record where where predator/prey interactions can be clearly seen.

Lapras deserves more, love all the designs and the channel in general

Ayeee...love your style!! Wish you keep growing faster faster.

Incredible video bro! Honestly really beautiful art and script overall!

I love your art and you fakemons ❤️ the audio quality isn't the best if I've to be honest, but everything else is fire! Even the editing, while still basic, is very good and better than the one of other big Pokètubers. Keep up the good work man, I hope to see more from you soon!

I love your minimalist design of Korraidon, makes him so much cuter

Oh man, I didn't even think about the version exclusive psudeos trend with the paradox mons! Dragapult is one of my favorite mons (two of my favorite types and based on my favorite animal) and I wasn't even aware that we were robbed...

So cool you have original music arrangements for your vids

I believe in my theory that all of these past pokemon were the prehistoric mega evolutions of the time since the Roaring moon is almost identical to mega salamence. Maybe pokemon evolutions didn't exist back then instead, they just evolved no 3 stages. You just turn into anything at all.

It should be noted that the Past paradox mons that are yet to evolve only evolve because of specific stimuli introduced to them. This may be implying that their most natural state is in these specific unevolved forms, or it may simply be that the mechanism through which these Pokemon are brought to the present is simply only grabbing these unevolved Pokemon.

very happy to have stumbled upon you and your channel. I’m normally never crazy about fakemons but probably because i’m a huge science nerd i really like yours and the ideas behind them. I’m excited to see more of your stuff in the future!

One thing I'm noticing of Past Paradox pokemon that throw people is how uncanny the past mons are to modern versions. That's because like our own "recent" pre history animals of that time were uncanny to those of our own time. All the fossil Pokemon are of creatures that would be like actual monsters if seen in reality today while those of just after the mass extinction of the dinosaurs would look closer to our modern animals. Which brings a very clear topic. When did Arceus add humans to his world or other human like species to other worlds?

Ive heard the theory multiple times now that the time machine at the end of the game isnt really a time machine at all/cant actually bring past and future pokemon to the present. But then it makes why these pokemon from “the distant future“ or “the ancient past“ are called *paradox* pokemon. Sandy Shocks for example shouldnt theoretically exist since magnets and screws and thus magneton are modern tools, and yet here is a Magneton perfectly adapted to life of the ancient past.

Keep going man, you're awesome! :)

The thing about the “Not fully evolved” paradox mons. If you notice, all of those ones (Jigglypuff, Misdreavus, Magneton) they all evolve from stones.

Seeing Scissor described as a "new" mon blows my mind. I grew up with Pokemon since I was a kid. I did not know that Sciscor was brand new to Gen 2. It was put into melee to promote new Pokemon. *I THOUGHT MOST OF THOSE POKEMON WERE ORIGINALLY IN GEN 1.* *THEY PUT KANTO IN GEN 2 AND I GREW UP THINKING IT WAS ALL THE SAME GAME. GOD, I HATE HAVING ADHD.*

The past paradoxes aren't just prehistoric. Just like how future paradox pokemon makes everything a robot, the idea of past paradoxes is to turn everything into dinosaurs. That's why they put legs on pokemon that don't have them like amoonguss, volcarona and magneton. Volcarona also got the dino tail while magneton got its bolt tail. The sole exception is flutter mane which is meant to be a pterodactyl.

I love the Monster Hunter style icons. Really clean 👌🏻

i love that scream tail art

I like your videos, keep up the good work.

I feel theres a subtle punk theming in the past paradox Pokemon as well. For example, both Scream Tail and Sandy Shocks have eyeliner, and the latter powder steel also resembles a mawhawk.

I would love to see u make some future forms for mons, that would be really cool. Keep up the great work

Love the designs, especially Marsh Jet. Kind of makes me wish for a region that has proper living versions of the fossil Pokemon, as that would fit right in with these. Funnily, Hisui already gave us temporal variants, though a lot closer to modern time than the past Paradox Pokemon. I'm curious if they'll find a way to bring these variants into the modern timeline. One that makes sense I mean, nothing really stops them from just having them be there with no explanation, which is kind of standard for the series.

My only critique of the past forms would be dragapult. I think it's a missed opportunity to turn the jets on its head into something more primitive like a bow. It could have a thin membrane that connects the ends of the two head spikes to form the bow string and use its tail to draw it back. Its special attack animation can be that it rears up on its hind legs and curls its tail back, hooking it around the "draw string" and then falling back to all 4s, letting gravity do most of the work in drawing each shot.

Love your design ands art style commenting to boost the algorithm

this is a great video NORT!

well yes, paradox pokemon are, as the name says paradoxes, contradictions as they are. cool designs btw, i could absolutely see them fit in with the rest

absolutely love your channel!!

Do we wanna talk about "primal" volcarona? It was the perfect opportunity to see how did it replace the sun... ...AND IT'S NOT EVEN A FIRE TYPE!

4:04 - Haha, nice "Flintstones theme" easter egg! I've listened to too much SiivaGunner to NOT recognize that hidden "Flintstones" theme in there :) -Paintspot Infez Wasabi!

Will you also do a video on future paradox Pokemon?

I think the past forms are from unevolved pokemon because in the past those pokemon didn't gain their evolution yet. Perfect example is volcanrona. In the past it was more of its pre Evo because it didn't fully gained the ability to evolve into volcarona but in the future it already gained the evolutions

I love your designs

Past forms are immensely better than the future forms, idk why instead of creating futuristic forms they only made them robots for the future forms? Like future forms could have easily been more evolved, intelligent, humanoid in personality, and alien, while the past are lesser evolved, ragged, dumber, animalistic like they kinda are shown already. Like imagine a future paradox form of Tentacruel being a UFO with the Tentacles being alien ray beams or tractor beams. Or a better future form of Tyranitar, where instead of just a robotic tyranitar, go all out on the Mecha-Godzilla inspiration, a long tail, greyish metal skin, and firey red lights peering out between the metal plates. Idk I just had gripes about the future forms since I prefered Violet.

Wasn't the Paradoxes about Pokémon looking prehistoric, but being obviously hoax? For example: - Jigglypuff was still on the moon (Moon Stone Pokémon are supposed to be from the Moon, except Skitty I guess) - Salamence haven't evolved to fly yet and would be even less likely to have more feather than today - Magneton cannot exist without human manufacturing the tools - Volcarona couldn't be part dinosaur - Amoongus couldn't show Poké Ball pattern before the invention of Poké Balls, and so on. The reason that Dragapult has no Paradox form is that it did existed in prehistory, so bring it back a past version would not be a Paradox.

I love your Pokémon designs and ideas they look amazing! Keep up the great content

aegislash is my favorite pokemon, and I LOVE piercing cut

I love the Paradox Pokémon of these games!

I hope they give them actual names in the future ngl

Justice for Cavegirl Gardevoir WE NEED IT GAME FREAK

I like the concept and designs of the past paradox pokemon you have. For future note, i would recommend getting a pop filter for your mic. The pops when pronouncing some words is noticeable. If you have the funds, i recommend getting a blue yeti. They are roughly 84-100 ish but they last for a while and got some additional features.

I think when it comes to Paradox Pokémon, they're not so much Pokémon ORIGINALLY from the past and future. Rather, they're Pokémon SENT forward or backwards through time and pulled back/misplaced in the present after going through rapid mutations just to survive in an era they SHOULDN'T exist in. This would explain why Megneton has a Paradox form, but it's strictly a man-made Pokémon. Or why Pokémon like Jigglypuff turned out so savage; in a prehistoric era where most Pokémon are just shy of being outright killing machines, Jigglypuff had no choice but to adapt, and quickly. Assuming multiple Jigglypuff were sent back in time, my guess is that as their population kept slowly increasing in the past, they eventually adapted or mutated to hold their own against things like Aerodactyl or Tyrantrum. But since there weren't any Moon Stones in whatever era they were trapped in, as well as any Igglybuff they birthed would be too easy a meal for other Pokémon, what would later become Scream Tail lost both its baby stage and its evolved form. Though eventually, those Jigglypuff would be called back to the Present by Sada, hence why there wasn't any information about them from long ago and MIGHT explain why these Paradox Pokémon also appeared suddenly in the most recent past; the time machine's endpoint still had some kinks to iron out and some Pokémon got misplaced in an era where Sada and Turo were still toddlers. This just raises more questions and doesn't explain away everything, I know. But this is just how I think Paradox Pokémon came to being and why they're even called "Paradox Pokémon". Though, I'm more than happy to hear what others think about how they came to be.

I really like marsh jet because the design fits and I like the diplocaulus, and dragapult is a powerful and coo looking Pokémon. Thanks!

i love the dragapult design

I'd love if DLC had more Paradoxes

Another great video!

A cool edition you could do to piercing cut is having engravings like early tribes would do to mark their weapons

The past paradox Pokémon are the new fossils Pokémon
