I think you undersell your designs a lot, while yes, all of them could use some more time, that proves the point that 30$ is an offensive amount of money to offer for 151 designs. I think your natural creativity really shows! Like, you may not have liked the squiggly one, 85, but I love it. I can imagine it twisting itself into different shapes to show its emotions, like a heart, a star, or a straight line when shocked!

This has a stronger Gen-1 vibe than any other Fakemon region ever, to be honest. Pulling inspiration from everywhere all at once and making lots of little guys that make you say "that's nothing if not a Pokemon, because literally what animal would it be", just as Kanto feels for me. I think you should embrace the stream-of-consciousness weirdness and make this a fully-fledged region! Though, do touch ups wherever you feel like they're needed of course.

I think the story behind the mythical is that a mage cast a spell on the king and turned him into a gremlin, he was so filled with shame that he ran away. His two sons/the box arts became so filled with grief that they asked the mage to take away their pain by turning them into Pokémon so they can find their father(they did not know that their father got turned into a Pokémon or that the mage did it btw) so the brothers became Pokémon then fought over their ideals and how to find their father, so they traveled the world looking for him all by themselves

Really interesting approach to design. I think you are actually way closer to the earlier Pokémon designs (generations) than later generations or other fakemons. No big concepts to follow, not trying to insert too much logics, just some cool or cute monsters with special features that make them stick out for their typings. I’m amazed, the result is great. Would love to see all of them fleshed out
@shiromarcelo17 күн бұрын
Personally, I prefer it when the pokemon dont really reflect a certain region. it gives it a Gen 1-3 vibe where they just take inspiration from anything. I also really like it when you cant really tell what animal or thing a pokemon is based on (chansey, slowbro, flittle, glimmora) or just generic monsters (nidos, rhydon, aggron)

I rarely write comments, but you did an amazing job, in just 30 minutes you made over 100 beautiful designs. Of course $30 is an insulting amount for 140-160 Pokemon designs. Don’t underestimate yourself, in such an insignificant amount of time, equal to ~23 seconds, you managed to think through and draw a design with meaning. Also, most of the Pokemon that you thought were quite simple or poorly designed look great to my taste, for example that fire/fairy rodent, especially considering how the official ones are now starting to look Pokemon. And your design of the villain's dog is incredible, reminds me a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing, I'm fall in love with it. I also admire your designs, Rhino, the first stage of Pokemon with a bat, turtle with a fortress and Medusa Ghost, and cat with bubble thoughts, they are fire🔥 Yes, there were many similarities between them, for example, almost every third Pokemon had fur like coat or “pumped up” arms, something like that. BUT for such an amount of time it is still incredible. I love your channel and your creativity, keep up the good work❤❤❤

I think my one critique is that a lot of the three stage evolutions don't feel like they have a big dramatic change, which is likely due to them being doodles instead of fully thought out designs, but could also be addressed by taking out the middle evolution and just having it be a two stage. I feel like two stage evolutions are also a lot more common.

I thought that this region might fit the Pacific Ocean - an ocean based region. This includes the Moai pokémon, the squid starter and the ice turtle would be found in the south of the region, close to Antarctica. The rhino could be the Bornean Rhinoceros - obviously a stretch here, and the kangaroos come from Australia. This part of the world includes it all, but some major compromises would have to be made in order for it all to not be too far apart, but Pokémon already seems to have no problem with that, as show in games such as Black and White. All the seals, and small bird Pokémon perfectly fit the population of all the small deserted islands in the Pacific. The electric and sound Pokémon could be found in a bigger city. Probably Wellington or Auckland. Maybe the games could be called Sky, and Ocean.
