My favorite redesign is Scovillain, I really love the fact that the heads actually have different personalities now, and the little skull.

I would really like if Flamigo and squawkabilly were counter parts...Flamigo being a fairy fighting and squawkabilly would be dark fighting or dark steel could be cool

My one nitpick with scovillain is that I'd personally go for a more yellow colour, Even if orange probably looks better. I just like the comtrast in expression being just as extreme as the contrast in colours

Your redesign of Spidops could easily start up a crochet club with Leavanny!

Scovillian is my favorite pokemon from Paldea so I was scared to see what you'd do for its redesign. However, I can firmly say it did not disappoint and I'm impressed that you came up with a really unique new concept that I haven't seen done before, Froopy does it again! 🔥

Maybe a new name for the Spydops redesign could be Awrapnid (arachnid+wrap)

I think the biggest issue with Spidops was simply that it came off of Tarountula. If it as on its own, a garrat wire wielding ogre spider is a great concept, not so much since it evolves from a yarn ball with legs. I think you really fixed it with going back to focusing on the thread crafting motif. For the capsakid line, I feel like you fixed a lot with Scovillian's proportions, but I think it would have done better with a distinct torso rather than just loosely coiled vines. It makes it feel like a bit too fragile, like it could unravel easily. The petal ruffles were a good call though

2:19 Finally, a Pokemon I can draw Doflamingo with

Crushed it with baxcalibur, that thing would go straight into my party if it was the true design - and I usually hate the over complicated looks of pseudos! Nice work 👌

I’ve seen so many fan designs where they evolve Scovillain by giving it a third head and I always think that ruins the masks duality theme but your take is awesome

The redesigns are great, but I think one reason some of the designs were kind of lackluster is because they are Pokemon that need to move around the overworld. The designs you made are great, but I noticed that a lot of them really don’t have the ability to move (like Spidops, or Spoolder as I’d like to call it), and others look incredible moreso because of the pose, like Scovillain (which is still an insane design, but with the crossed legs, it’s hard to imagine how great it would look running around Paldea), same with Flamigo, who looks great here, but I don’t think it could just hop around on one wing the whole game, lol

Flamigo -> Gingamingo (from _ginga_ , pronounced "ˈʒin-ga", the main footwork in capoeira) Spidops -> Spindler or Spinder (from spin/spindle) Also I love that Baxcalibur is more quadrupedal-looking! Making the entire body the sword is so much more natural than the Godzilla attack pose. You could imagine it swimming through the ground and lunging to strike

I wish that Gimmighoul's evolution was comepletely different. I wish that it had become one with the chest and coins - becoming a full-blown mimic inspired Pokemon. It could still have arms made of coins to help it move around, and it would be a very defensive/tanky -mon. Gholdengo just looks too much like a string-cheese mascot covered in gold foil.

Fantastic video but walking out at the mention of Skeledirge and Scovillain 😢

The spidops redesign really is adorable! It fits the expectation from the previous evolution

When I first saw capsakid by accident before I played the game, I thought it was a little green bird with an eggshell on its head, it didn’t even register as a pepper to me at first. I can’t help but think about if they leaned into the bird look and made Scovillain a cool two headed pepper bird!

While I don’t really have any opinion on the others, the baxcaliber is great!

I actually prefer the original backscaler. I definitely like all your other changes though.

Ok I love og Spidops but yours is really REALLY good

The Spidops looks like it adds enough to base Spidops’ design to be a Mega Evolution, but I’d prefer it if Spidops got a regular evolution, considering how lackluster the mon is in battle. The Capsakid redesign looks like it could be a Ghost type regional variant, and it’s evolution there looks like a branching Regional Evolution, like Perrserker or Clodsire I REALLY like that Baxcalibur redesign. I’d imagine, in motion, its animation for its signature move, Glaive Rush would be a full on frontflip bringing the tail blade down on its opponent, instead of the canon one’s weird 50s Godzilla-style half-flip. Great designs. Kudos

I think my favorite redesign you've done is for Spideops(?)! I don't like how the pre-evo goes from being a cute little yarn spider to this weird tactical yarn ogre spider. I just feel like the two don't fit together (though I feel that about the other Bug line in SV with me honestly not liking the evos of the yarn spider and Nymble with me not being found of the pre-evo for the dung beetle mon). While I don't necessarily hate the redesign of the Scovillain line, I can't help but think of how it was one of the Gen 9 mons that should have been a 3 stage line with the whole seed/flower becoming two bell peppers then three, as I've seen a lot of people make. I will say I do like how you incorporated the white in the design to add a little extra color there as well as make the green bell pepper more orangey yellow to give it more fiery colors as opposed to all greens and then there's a touch of red in the head. (And the part about the skulls representing the Ghost typing, I can see that fitting Caspakid more than Scovillain in this redesign, but honestly skull imagery works well for the whole spicy theme in the line.) I wholeheartedly agree with taking out the middle stage for the Pawmi line. I feel like Gen 9 had a lot of unnecessary 3 stage lines when some I felt only needed 2 or could have just been a single stage mon with tacked on pre-evos. I admittedly had a knee jerk reaction to Skeledirge from the leaks, and I sort of regret that because Skeledirge's design has grown on me quite a bit. Sadly, I can't say the same for the pseudo legendary line. I get that it's supposed to be Shin Godzilla or whatever it's called, but I just like any of the mons in that line. They have got to be the worst pseudo line for me as far as design (and of course it has to be a type combination finally given to a non-legendary geez!)

Awesome as always, Flamigo is one of my favorite new mons from gen 9 because I love the simplicity of the design, but I do agree that it makes no sense to the fighting type, the way you literally just tweaked the design a little and justified the fighting type was perfectly executed, also, I'm a Brazilian myself so I was very pleased by the reference to capoeira hehehe

by far the best ones are buxcaliber and capsakid. baxcaliber is just what it was supposed to be. and capsakid is different and feel like a regional form of the original and I'm a bit upset you removed all the kappa inspiration (its in the name and the original design) but its really good on its own

Loved all of these; wish I found your videos sooner! Instant Subscribe, fantastic work. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

great work, i love them

OH MY GOD CAPOEIRA ok ok ok I did a gen 9 fighting types nuzlocke of scarlet and named my Pokémon after martial arts. Annhilape was Krav Maga, Pawmot was Karate, and so on. But I named my FLAMIGO CAPOEIRA and now I’m SCREAMING because it looks so good and is how I will imagine her from now on. Thank you Froopy.

Idk if that look quite works for Flamigo. I think it’d be a lot funnier if it was doing crazy martial arts moves while still looking derpy. Just with more of a prominent smile maybe.

The flaws you pointed out with Espathra and Baxcalibur are on the dot mine as well! I love the new concepts you went with for Baxcalibur, my only feedback would be a little more pattern and armor to break it up. It looks fairly small with how scrunched the pose is, and the massive blob of navy doesn't do that any favors. Maybe adding an alternating color scale pattern on the tail as well as some extra "armor" on the shoulders would fill in some gaps.

the pawmi line do i really like because it doesnt change a lot but still is 3 stage.

skeledirge is my favorite final evo from any starter. (even though owls are my favorite animal and ghost and grass are my favorite typings) its just so pointy and beast looking. but at the same time so soft on the inside. singing beautiful songs and being based on the synergy between bird and crocodile. it is a ghost type because it creates and uses ghosts not because he is one and the entire evolutionary line is so amazing. start of with a stem that seem to be born from a thought. then it becomes a full nest with a egg in it looking like sombrero. then it is a bird in the end that it controls with its voice. the design you made looked absolutely beautiful and i think it would be cool for a regional variant or for a gender based evolution.

Not a huge fan of the Capsakid and Scorvillain changes (except for the orange head on Scorvillain, that's 10/10) but the other 3 definitely had some interesting ideas that I like a lot more compared to the originals, especially Baxcalibur keeping the hunch pose instead of becoming cold Tyranitar, really cool commentary as well, great video man!

And once again, a redesign misses that Spidops is also a spec ops agent

Gotta love Shakespepper

your scovillain looks like a Digital Circus character in the mos positive way

Bro be taking my job. In all seriousness these redesigns are amazing and I love how different they all are I can't even pick a favourite

I would name the spidops redesign "spoolder"

I like the idea for baxcalibur, but the arms look really short for it walking on all fours. Especially with the sail in the front, it looks like it would have to be dragging that through the dirt and pushing with its legs to go forward. Good redesigns though. Makes you wonder how many iterations and what kind of feedback Gamefreak goes through during their own design process when they still come out with big duds in the final product sometimes

I like your work, but I have to disagree with you when it comes to Skeledirge. It’s my favourite new mon coming out of Scarlet and Violet. I like how it’s not humanoid at all, it’s head is empty, so when it’s animated, it’s little bird spirit friend can dance around its noggin and snout. It does have some Dia Los Muertos style patterns, but it’s not overtop, as it would be too cluttered if they added any more. I respect your dislike of the design, and it goes to show why Pokemon designs can be so divisive. The reasons someone may find a design bad or unappealing, is the reason why someone else may absolutely love the exact same design.

I love flamigo, but your redesign is pretty good. Something I would change would be the beak, so.. in that sense yours is better.

First should be a water/flying... Flamingos always stand in water.

I’m tired of all this spidops hate bro deserves more love

Spicy… or not spicy… that is the question

These are so cool!

There's pictures out there where people draw pokemon as if they were the missing link evolution picture and that's what the Pawmi line makes me think of

These are some of my favorites Pokémon from the region

I fr thought that was capsakid's skull untill now 🥲

Thank you for being brave enough to admit that Spidops is not a bad design

You could name the Scovillain Redesign peppolar like pepper and bipolar bc of its two moods

I would literally choose that Spidops redesign over the official one and have it on my team. It looks amazing!

My issue with scovillian is that his teeth are supposed to look like tge white seeds of a pepper so i expect its open mouth to look like w sliced ppen pepper... but it doesnt! And thats disappointing.

Nah bro you dont do my boy Pawmo like that Other than that, they're good

I'm rocking with everything except Scovillian. I think it went too far that it doesn't look a like a pokemon anymore, but the original already hit that territory

The ostrich pokemon palette sucks! It clashes a LOT!!! And has no clear focal point

I love all those, and yeah I'm not a big fan of gen 9... 8.. 7... 6.. design for the majority but I like normal spidops, I think he's really neat looking but yours is pretty cool too.

All great designs that are much more satisfying then what we have. Personally I believe Lechonk's evolution and the water starter are pokemon that need a redesign.

I love your scovillan redesging because scovillan is my favorite pokemon

I feel like im the only one who likes Scovillain lol. The Pokemon I have the biggest gripe with in Paldea is Maushold. It just looks too plain to me.

Spidops really needed that

Suggestion: Spidops to Weavider and Capsakid to Peppidrama.

i actually prefer the originals however i do love your take on these (I had a feeling spidops was based on the ogre spider!) Honestly though i want pokemon to branch out into different species of bugs en all like maybe one based on the Brazilian Wandering Spider known for its like red undermarkings on its legs! All en all,amazing artwork!

I think I'm part of the minority since every pokemon artist wanted to make a baxcalibur redesign and none of them are better than the original for me

I really dig most of these. The peppers are my favorites though.

I was super disappointed that Baxcalibur took so much inspiration from yk, Kaiju and _Britain_ when... The legend of Sant Jordi i el drac (Saint George and the dragon) was RIGHT. THEEEEEEEEREEEEE. IT WAS SO CLOSE! Waaaahhhh. It could've somehow referenced la casa Batlló, which is said to represent that story. IT COULD'VE BEEN SO PRETTY AND INSPIRED. But it would've been an entirely different Pokemon to begin with. Sigh. I really like your redesigns! I think my original problem w spidops is that it didn't *commit* enough to the concept. That's actually a something all the Pokemon you redesigned here had a problem with: commiting. And with these redesigns, you've helped them a great deal by making them _commit_ to their concepts. They look great! _Even_ Baxcalibur with its English inspiration.

Oeh baxcalibur leveled up so much! Well done Gabe! ❤

I'm so grateful to have found someone with the same opinion as me about Baxcalibur. He just looks too plain and flavourless, and goofy even. Probably my least favourite design because of the missed potential being the greatest in my opinion.

I will never stop defending Spidops I just think he's cool, but your design is still much better

You could give your Version of scorvillain a 3rd evo sp it actual has all 3 pepper heads Edit:Baxcalibur isnt based on godzilla, it's based on a Concavenator, which you used as reference.

Tarantoola (Tarantula + Spool + Tool)

the Scovillain redesign feels like its own pokemon rather than a remake, that it, you just made a new pokemon rather than make Scovillain better which i think are two completely different things. and i don't think "we already have Tyranitar" is the thing, but rather "we only have Tyranitar". though Baxcalibur definately does need a redesign, i still wouldve liked it to keep the upright posture. or at least lean forward more, less like Godzilla and more like Tyrantrum/Theropods, we definately don't have enough pokemon with that posture.

Skeledirge also disappointed me so much! And I love fire and alligators so that was a big L

I love this version of scovillian and capsikid, it's what we should have got from the start

Please Game Freak hire this boy!

My favorite redesign was baxcalibur as I always wasn’t a fan of it

It seems after Ken sugimori stopped doing the artwork for Pokemon they've gone downhill big time. What I hate about a lot of gen 9 Pokemon is that some of the animalistic Pokemon just don't even look natural or rather they look like robots. It's terrible enough that we have God awful future pardox Pokemon that are just robots and nothing else, but then we have Pokemon like Spidops, Veluza, Lokix,Nymble, Orthworm etc that just look mechanical. Even skeledirge, who I think is an otherwise great design has a weird underbelly which just throws off the overall designs beauty.

Okay, I actually like Baxcalibur , but dang your redesign is so much better

Pinching could evolve into a sea serpent pineapple tree or a different yokai that's a pineapple dessert, or you could do something with white pinnaples

I’d say flying water

I LOVE the redesign of baxcallibur I love Dino’s and I do love arctibax a lot, I don’t hate baxcallibur, I just don’t love it like the other pseudos

That's a perfect redesign for Baxcallibur... I was so excited when I saw the middle evolution and then it evolved and.. I was much less excited, LOL!

You missed the whole point of flamigo, which is "it's just a bird"

Spidops redesign my favorite

First of all, we watch your channel for inspiration so kudo's to you! You are awesome. But, since you asked our opinion... We like Flamigo's redesign very well. It respects the original artists views by not altering it too much, but the pose and attitude are so more clearly Fighting type that this is a serious improvement. Spidops' redesign feels like a mega to us... And... Very sorry to say this... But we love OG Capsakid and Scovillain... So we did not really like the redesign. For us the redesigns of them look not related enough to eachother. But let us say: it's just a different artistic choice

I like your redesign of spydop, the og with lack of pose in gaming looks awkward. Plus as it standing, its butts looks like its about to poop some log. About backcalibur, i remember someone drew it with old artstyle of pokemon, it looks way better.

Definitely like your Baxcalibur, Flamigo and Scovillain. Keep it up. Question, are u gonna put the rest of Paleon dex on DeviantArt soon?

My main problem with spidops is that i really wanted tarountula to stay the same body shape in the evo, and even possibly make it bug steel or something lol, also I more than agree with skeledirge, I love the concept and all, but I just hate how overdetailed it is and the fire looks wierd imo, it’s grew on me a bit, but the Sugimori art and I’m game model made me hate it lol I personally don’t mind scovillain, I just think it should get an evo and it kinda looks unfinished y’know?

Your designs blow the originals out of the water. Out of all the generations, Gen 9 dissapointed me the most in terms of the designs and their potential, so it's great to see that fans can get them right. In other words: " We were on the verge of greatness, we were THIS close..."

Subway wailmer and footlong wailord

I hate the way Dudunsparce looks. Please give it a redesign.

brambleghast and goldengho shoulde be redesigned too

In defense of flamigo(not that I care for it) seel is literally just a seal 💀💀💀

Pretty sure the 3 stage Pawmi line is meant to represent Darwin evolution. He starts out on all four, then transitions to learning how to walk on two legs, then fully mastering it. Also more excuse for cute pika clones. Pawmo can stay, just maybe add more neck fluff to make it look like a mid-point between Pawmi and Pawmot.

I hate pretty much all gen 9 Pokemon

Your Scovillain is so much better than the original in my opinion, as it gives it the personality that the original really lacks, keep up the good work!

Heres the thing nobody is "fixing" a Pokemon they're just making them fit there personal taste in design if a Pokemon is ugly it probably ugly on purpose for variety if every Pokemon was all cute or cool it get boring very VERY fast

Briliant

(pleas x-skus my bad spelling im dyslexic) for me persanly the spidops one seems like a good re-disine the flamego disine cod maby add back in the boxing glufs back in on the feet like give him more chunky feet and maby make them more red to to look like boxing glufs maby for bakeskaliber i like the re-disine i like that you adid some more red to make the red things on his arms look more coherint with there disine and i love the ider of making there body look more like a sword capsaykid re-disine looks fine to me but for the skullvinen one i think just the body dosint sit well with me take the twist in the legs and make it a bulbis lil plant body and then its fine with me but bisids all that love the disine's

Espathra is a beautiful lady

They are by far an improvement upon the originals. I loathe modern Pokémon designs. They’re made soulless, and prioritize marketability over respect for its origins and consistency, they make them gimmicky, too humanoid, or overly cute for stupid plushies and toys over quality creature design that feel like they belong in nature. Makes me want to make my own Pokémon generation and compete. I know I could come up with better concepts.

You’re designs is way better then the normal ones we got sucks yours are way better wished theses were what we got instead! 😮😢

For Spidops How about Spidool? (spider and dool)
