I feel like customizable Crustang could be a neat twist on the idea of some or another Pokémon getting a greater degree of design customization that's been present in a few of the more recent games. Imagine being able to apply decals to your Crustang to get its look just exactly right for your personality.

That Pokédex entry for Crustang better lead to a bunch of fan art of various modified Crustangs.

Crustang is definitely better than Crabombible. It still looks a tad goofy, but unlike it's counterpart it pulls it off. I also love the idea of it being customized

When you mentioned customizable Crustang, I immediately thought of decorator crabs. If they were a Ride Pokemon, like in Kalos, it would be nice to be able to decorate them with stickers, paint jobs, or entirely new objects.

Aztec language pro tips from someone that studies it: “x” is always the “sh” sound “hu” is always a “wh” sound “cu” is always “kw” “qu” is always just “k-“ “ci” on the other hand is “see” “tl” is a single syllable, not two. You make it by forming the shape of a “t” sound and then pushing out an “L” sound on the sides of your teeth. Emphasis is always on second to last syllable. You can blame Spanish monks for weird spelling. Examples: Cihuatl - “SEE-watl” Macahuitl - “ma-KA-weetl” Axolotl - “ah-SHO-lotl” Huitzilipochtli - “wee-tsee-lee-POCH-tlee” Quetzalcoatl - “Ket-sal-KO-watl”

oh boy i can already imagine Crustang as a ride Pokemon in a desert/city area. With the most over-the-top groovy ass racing music ever. i can already see a frickin Crustang racing minigame you can play for some cool rewards. Crustang is such a cool lil dude I can also REALLY easily see Flitjitter animated in battle unable to stop moving with it constantly twitching and flying around erratically. It's so frickin hilarious (and, like another comment down here said, Turquoise and Amber sound like the perfect names for the Mazah region games. Matches the legendaries' colors and special earrings)

0:38 looking at this, I can really see Jack’s improvement in posing, design and art in general! If I remember correctly, the second version was inspired by a fan’s design, but still, the slight changes between the second and third really shows how much more understanding Jack has of the pokemon style and character design in general. Go you!

Concept: Mazian vileplume based on la Catrina. The big hat is a staple of La Catrina's design, and her as a representation of life and death feels like it could apply to vileplume pretty easily

There could be a mechanic where you can gather different metals to change crustangs shell

I love how original these designs are! And not just "fantasy animal with __ typing", if that makes sense lol. Crustang is probably my favorite from this batch! The concept and execution is just *chefs kiss*

I kinda want a third Evo for the hyper bug, I adore them, though I do feel like there's a bit of a missed opportunity to make the wings into something representing the filament of a lightbulb that glows with energy In my mind a third Evo could be based on a crash when the energy wears off, and/or inspired by thunderbugs, something big, mean, and possibly sporadic, even if it's sparked out or frazzled it could be very aggressive and still have some residual electricity, maybe it sparks like a broken outlet or twitches with uncontrollable surges that flow through it at times, part of me wants to make it a dark type but it's really not necessary I'm thinking something intimidatingly awesome like a mega beedrill or naganadel I love these videos btw, the designs are so cool

I can’t tell you enough how much I absolutely ADORE the pun in Crustang’s name. It seriously has to be the most clever name I’ve seen.

Something I like about crustang is that it keeps the big goofy look of crabomidable

I can definitely see you making a gym leader/contest star with a Crustang as their partner, thinking rough and tumbl, show-offish, and manly. Either way I love that the pokemon exudes "oddball perfectionist" personality. I also have to say that flitjitter RADIATES rival pokemon that you really want because of how cute it is but it's only available in like one place near the end of the game and is really out of the way, I'm not sure why.

Crabominable is a concept that I love, with an execution that makes me wish I'd never laid eyes on it. Such a terrible, terrible waste. Crustang though? Crustang slaps.

the cafecaracha line feels like it's missing a third stage in my opinion. maybe a more calmed down but still speedy and hyperactive mon that has fully lost the shell it had as a child. I'm just throwing out ideas but without a final evo it looks like the grubbin line without vikavolt, something you'd toss for a stronger mon post 2nd gym. Either way, this is definitely one of my favourite mazah mons so far, missing final evo or not.

Wasn't too sure about the design of crustang until you mentioned the customization, cuz y'know... Mustang. And i love that idea! Whole tournaments dedicated to showing off your crustangs drip would be amazing, maybe make em show off like lowriders that jump up and down/ extend, some sort of new furfrew Pokemon would be amazing

Crustang looks like something Robotnik would build and ride around

crustang has got to be one of the most fun concepts you've done for this region! if I had a single genie wish to have any of your fakemon in an official gamefreak game, it'd be the crab car.

flitjitter is SUCH a good design like it realy does convey being extremely high energy all the time also i like coffee but it never does anything to energize me or wahtever. i just like the taste blazea also has a really good design

Do you think you could do a pokemon that shrinks as it evolves?

I just imagine a anime episode set in the mazah region where Ash and Goh enter a contest on who has the best Crustang.

Crustang is one of the best designs in the series, i imagine an episode in the anime where it's like drag racing, maybe some references to chargabug racing, and then desert hijinks ensue

Crustang could definitley be a mascot of the whole region ✨ such a dope design

I was excited to see a crab Pokemon (because that is what I assumed from the silhouettes), because I love crabs so much, and imagine my joy at seeing one of my favourite Pokemon ever get a regional variant. Edit: and Crustang shares the type combo of my favourite Pokemon. I'm so happy I need this big guy on my team.

I love how in your Crabrawler design, while it is still clearly a crab, you kind of accentuate the desert feel with the pompadour which looks vaguely like the dard of a scorpion (especially with those pincers). Not sure if that was on purpose since you didn't mention it but I quite enjoy it.

This is my third time asking Subjectively: Would you please make a healer Pokémon? A chansey/indeedee equivalent that can vibe at the local Pokémon Center? It would be especially cool if you made it an aloe vera Pokémon.

Okay for starters I absolutely LOVE all of these designs, they’re all amazing. I like the concept of the Flitjitter the most, it’s a great concept, however the design of Flitjitter itself not so much.. it’s great don’t get me wrong, but it has the opportunity to be so much better in my opinion. For starters the pikachu tail wings could use some work, maybe the reminder of the coffee bean, just change the shape to something else, or you could make it so that it looks like the veins that are in bug wings are like actual lightning, not the cartoony zig-zag shape or something. But I think it’s biggest flaw is that it looks like a 2nd stage evolution and it works great as that! But I feel like it needs one more thing, or you could just re-design it so it looks more grownup/mature. You could do something like the crash you get after having a ton of caffeine, that would be neat. OR I had a great idea, I have Adhd and when I drink caffeine it actually calms me down, and it allows me to focus easier, so you could make it another branching evolution Pokemon, where it has some specific stats like hitmontop needs all even stats to evolve, it could become super calm/focused! It could be physic type bc that’s like the easiest thing to type a focus/calm Pokémon. Or it could become a FIRE type because of the whole debate weather it has the name of lightning bug or fire fly! These are just some of the first ideas I’ve had for Flitjitter bc I absolutely LOVE the concept! Thx for reading:)

Crustang’s pokedex entry reminds me of that one charchabug episode where they make a small cart for them and race them😂

on the subject of the possible names for the games of the mazah region lets look at all previous main series pokemon titles: red blue green yellow gold silver crystal ruby sapphire emerald fire red leaf green diamond pearl platinum heart gold soul silver black white black 2 white 2 x y omega ruby alpha sapphire sun moon ultra sun ultra moon lets go pikachu lets go eevee sword shield brilliant diamond shining pearl legends arceus scarlet violet we can clearly see that every pokemon game falls into one of three categories: it is named after a simple concept, like a color, a letter, or an object, it is one of those things but with an adjective in front (exclusively remakes), or it is named after one of the key pokemon in that game. the issue is that, in addition to being insanely unmarketable, "prey and predator" and "tradition and progress" are not simple enough concepts to be game titles. the closest comparison would be if pokemon black and pokemon white were instead called pokemon truth and pokemon ideals (switched obviously). its simply too heavy of an idea. SO, that leads us, of course, to the big question: what to call the games? a lot of colors are already taken: red, yellow, green, blue, black, white, scarlet, and violet, as well as gold, silver, ruby, sapphire, and emerald, all of which double as precious stones/metals. sun and moon are basically orange and purple, and dont match the mazah region, so we dont want those, and the color space is already pretty crowded (red, ruby, fire red, y, shield, and scarlet are ALL red), so maybe we can take a look at stones again? a quick google search brings up the following paragraph: This part of the world is famed as the source for an astonishing variety of rare and enchanting precious stones: agate and turquoise; jasper and obsidian; amber from the Chiapas caves and the legendary Mexican fire opal. Many of these stones are unusual and some unique to deposits in the region. an unofficial rule for every pokemon game is that the name has to have something to do with the box legendaries, something they have done since gen 3. this line of reasoning has led us into a rather fortunate coincidence: the legendary pokemon of the mazah region went on a rampage thousands of years ago as a result of the jewelry that the mazah people placed on them. hylarmos has blue earrings, while maripome has orange. jasper, amber, and fire opal are all orange, while turqoise is blue, and agate can be many different colors. its important that the names of the games be recongnizable; everyone knows what the moon is, everyone knows what fire is, everyone knows what the color green is. and so, here are the names ive come up with: Pokémon Amber, featuring Maripome, and Pokémon Turqoise, featuring Hylarmos. these seem to be the most recognizable of all the stones listed, and they both double as colors, which the previous 'stone names' have all done. i am submitting these as the names of the games (potentially (could be (in my opinion (if everyone else is cool with it))))

OMG I can totaly see an entire part of the game being about the Crustang thing, like the poodle pokemons in the french region but a bit more pushed. That would be great.

Crustang is perfect customisable ride pokemon and fighting one as well You could customise their paint job or decal and their shiny would allow exclusive decall on them.

I was expecting a Huitlacoche split evolution, but the pop corn one is amazing

I really love Crustang's design and I would probably have it on my team. It reminds me of Darmanitan, Metagross, and Genesect. Also the shiny is great.

The Crabrawler line would be good with a grass type. First, there's a COCONUT crab, and in real life the yeti crab actually grows emergency food on it's arms in the form of algae.

i think this video helped me understnad why i love the mazah seiries so much, because you're designing these pokemon as CHARACTERS, a lot of fan made pokemon are held back by the idea that they're just one of a wider species and so a lot of fans tend to shy away from giving their fakemon designs a built in personality or quirks, leading to a lot of kind of plain "real life animal but with an elemental power" designs, but these fakemon are designed from a place of "how would this pokemon act in the anime? what about it makes you want ot be freinds with it? what relatable or interesting personality traits does it embody?"

Thank you for doing Crabrawler some justice. I absolutely love Crustang! Blazea is also amazing, and the fact that were getting another fangame alongside the Kaskade region makes me incredibly excited.

Crustang is truly inspired, I love it, and that's saying a lot coming from an "I hate thing-style pokemon, like Vanilish" type player.

As an aspiring entomologist (though my specialty is wasps in the genus Polistes, which i recommend you check out because the variations in color between individuals of the same species r crazy and i am so passionate abt them) flitjitter is absolutely perfect. i wasnt super sure about its pre-evo but honestly? i was sold when i saw that silly little moth.

I wasn't at all sure about your design for Crabrawler initially, but honestly seeing Crustang totally changed my mind. It's such a great concept and I'm absolutely sold on both.

Maybe Cafecaracha and Vikavolt are always found near one another. Cause I definitely would put them on a team together.

I'm.... conflicted with Crustang, on one hand it's a great design and leagues better than Crabomidable; But on the other hand, it look more like it belongs to a separate pokemon line or its own single stage rather than a Crabrawler evolution.

Hah, you missed an opportunity to make Flitjitter an almost-literal "lightning bug" while keeping the characteristics from coffee. Love its bug-eyed look, though ;)

Definitely feel like Crustang is going to end up becoming a fan-favorite!

Crustang is so clever!!!! I adore them especially

The production value of these videos are amazing, keep up the good work man.

Personally, I love cafecaracha. They're cute and I think the electric typing is well shown.

BRO, the similarities between crustang and klawf are CRAZY

I really love these designs! I can already see some monster truck/wrestling/car derby going on with Crustang and you popcorn pokemon typing was a suprise but quite a good thing. I thought of fairy or flying because of the fluffyness but this is awesome! I have a idea for a legendary pokemon making your duo, a trio. I am a microbiologist and love nature overall. You made a carnivore and a herbivore but did you know about decomposers? They are creatures like bacteria and fungi. They feed of waste and dead materials and break them down to energy and minerals that provide sustenance for plants. Seeing that the Mazah region is a place where creatures like Titanatrop that need a lot of nutrients, you can make a biofilm (group of micro organisms that break down stuff, rust is the most common one) pokemon that feeds on waste and gives nutrients to all of the plants and ground in the Mazah region!

Crustang rocks! Also I’d love to see a redesign of how you think Crabominable could be done right, because I’m in the same boat as you since I love crabrawler but never want to evolve it.

Concept: Allow Crustang to learn Genesect's signature move Techno Blast, modified by the type of Drive it's holding. This would allow for functional customization of its appearance, changing at least part of its color scheme for each type of Drive, similar to Arceus with is Plates or Silvally with its Memories.

I've had a concept for a Pokemon I would love to see you tackle. Lavacado (Lava Avocado) similar to the earth having a hot core Lavacado would have a hot core and hot temper. When Lavacado used Explosion in battle it evolves into Magamole (Magma Guacamole).

IDEA a pokemon that has split evolutions but the split evolutions will evolve into the same pokemon like a fire and ground type will evolve into A. fire and water then B. ground and steel. then the to split evolutions will evolve into the same pokemon whom will be water and steel doesn't need to be the same types btw

I love these designs, I was on stream when you did the popcorn one, I think that you should make more fakemon based on the Aztec gods, as of now the fire starter is the only one

I love abstract representation of pokemon types! I think Urshifu's different forms are great examples of abstract type representations we have seen in a official way. Multi-Strike Urshifu has little to do with water in a literal sense, but its flowing strikes moves as such so it adopts the water typing. Single-strike Urshifu isn't really monstrous, evil, or malicious, but it's fighting style is so rough and brutal that it adopts the Dark typing. I hope we get more pokemon similar to that and the ones coming from Subjectively in the future, they are always so fun.

If this was an actual game, it would be awesome to have a body shop in one of the towns or bigger cities where you could customize your Crustang, if you had one. Also, it would be fun to have it as a ride pokemon: I have this vision of riding around town on a custom Crustang like a badass :D

i can see myself hunting a shiny flitjitter for weeks, i love the colours soo much! ♥

I absolutely LOVE Crustang!!! I adore crabs and my top two favorite Pokémon types are ground, then steel, so this hits every box for me. LOVE IT!!

Blazea looks so friggin' amazing, and I love the Crustang idea and surrounding design possibilities in game from its inclusion as well. When you said Grass / Fire, I was thinking either that or Ghost / Fire, as it being "popped" is kind of like the death for corn, and "ghost" would be more of a loose interpretation of that, similar to energy being a loose interpretation of Electric-- But Dark / Fire works plenty too.

Jack, you have improved so much from the first video in this series. I never really noticed it before, but now that I am rewatching the series I am seeing how much you worked and improved. Great job!

based on the dex entry for Crustang, it would have been a great opportunity for a pokemon with multiple versions of itself like Alcremie

personally, I've always hated the whole Crabrawler line, but Crustang is pretty rad

Yes! I remember asking for a Mexican jumping bean pokemon when you were first making your regional bug pokemon. And the designs look so awesome! Out of all of the fakemon that I've seen, yours have to be the absolute coolest

I feel that the Mazda region needs a butterfly based Pokémon. I’ve read a few things about how monarch butterflies always migrate to Mexico around The Day of the Dead maybe you can connect one of your Day of the Dead themed Pokémon with this somehow and make a completely new Pokémon or a regional variant for the caterpie line, or any of the other caterpillar to butterfly lines. I’ve also read that the Aztecs would call monarchs “ the harvester butterflies” because they would migrate back to Mexico when corn was ready to be harvested. You could connect the Zea-Zaya line with it maybe. It is also said that monarch butterflies are represented in the Day of the Dead as the souls of peoples ancestors returning to visit them for the Day of the Dead. This was just a thought I had that might look cool in your region.

I must say that this was an interesting video. I just have one question about Crustang. How on earth does it move? Does it move more like a car or more like a crab?

the caffeine bugs are most definitely my favorite pokemon you designed so far!! such a good concept and execution as always

I know it’s a little niche, but I absolutely love tiny Pokémon, like Joltik or Flabebe. I know you already have a few smaller Pokémon, but just a really tiny god slaying Pokémon is what I’m here for :)

Man I love this series!!!

I’m imagining the split evolution happens at a certain level, depending on how high the trainer’s friendship stat with them is

As someone who doesn't really mind Crabominable all that much, I have to say that Crustang is a really cool alternate evolution. It keeps the same towering physique and level of outlandish design of Crabominable, but it exchanges a design inspiration from real-life "crabs" for looking powerful and cool instead of powerful and monstrous.

Love the design of Crustang. Would absolutely be one of my 6. A cool riff on the customization of the shell could be that what you feed your crustang creates the patterns rather than painting it since they're steel typing comes from eating scrap metal

I like your crabrawler change but I LOVE flitjitter and it’s pre evolution.

These concepts and designs are always so amazing.

As a theater employee it would've been really cool if you made it so the corn husk for shiny Blazea resembled a traditional popcorn bag with red and white.

I absolutely adore the way ninjask is constantly moving, and flitjitter taking that concept to 11 is so amazing that it might be my new favourite pokemon of all time!

Crustang goes so hard. Love this guy

I see Subjectively Pokemon video, I click. This is my preferred cycle of life

3:08 this coloring actually reminds me of fighting types a lot. Glad you ended up changing it, because I would’ve assumed it was gonna be a fighting dual type if I encountered it in a game.

I LOVE crustang so much! I could see a gym leader with one as their ace, and the gym is themed like a car show

Your Crabrawler and Crustang designs feel so precisely targeted to my own tastes that I am honestly alarmed. Needlessly to say I LOVE THEM SO MUCH IT'S ALL I WANTED FROM THE LINE

Wow your regional Crabrawler and it's evolved form Crustang look more appealing and natural 😃

I would ADORE a Crustang on my Mazah team, maybe to reflect all the different bodykits and decaled shells the pokemon has an alcremie sort of flair, with a few minorly different variants like some funky decals or different tool arms

These designs just keep getting stronger and stronger!! I love the way you take the recognizable style pokemon has and add your own really interesting spin to the rendering. Cant wait to play the game!

I guess Zhusk got a bit too 'heated' in one of their conversations that they they turned into popcorn. Anyways, jokes aside, I really liked how all of these mon's turned out, especially Crustang!

I would love to use Crustang on my team

I love the creativity in this episode! I feel like we’re in for a real treat when they start working on a new region. I absolutely love the concept for the jumping bean line and Crustang is such a cool and versatile design. Like someone else said, I can totally see Crustang as a ride Pokémon

After being shown how close crabs look to the front of a car, I've never wanted to see a beach buggy crab hybrid more than I do now.

I just had a big idea and its something to do with the legendaries ok so just imagine this After the legendary Pokemons wear sealed away they left a little bit of there powers to new Bron babies but when the babies turn 18 the power disappear from them but when they had kids the power transfer to them and that power is the key to awaken the legendary Pokemons but after they awake they kids may or may not die from the amount of power taking from them For design I imagine the traditional one being more of a traditional woman how wears traditional clothing and her and her family knows that one day she will sacrifice her life to awaken the legendary For the other one I imagine a mother look to representing change a girl who wears modern clothes and very accepting to change I also imagine the evil pokemon team (you can call theme what ever you want) will kidnapped the kids into awakening the pokemon so that they could control theme

Each week you create my new favourite fakemon from the Mazah region😂

Flitterjitter makes a lot of sense because the coffee bean developed caffeine in the first place as a poison for BUGS. After bugs eat the coffee plant, they vibrate and move so fast that their hearts and bodies just give out. It also reminds me of those moths that evolved to look exactly like a hummingbird, which works thematically! Good work.

cafecaracha is soooo cute!!! i love its shiny too, the subtle color change into red & green is so good!

I was totally expecting a ghost grass type for the split evo. The concept I had in my head was completely different from what was shown here, as I was thinking a kinda pun related name, as sometimes a grandfather is called "Pops", so "Pops Corn". I thought that maybe though kinda morbid, and ghost popcorn grandpa would have been kinda neat, but nonetheless I think this design here is very cool.

We need more ghost types just saying

I can see Crustang rocking some cool treads! Like tank treads, combined with a treadmill, only they wear them around their feet-things(?) and there's three customizable bracing rods in the middle holding the treads parallel, spinning rims are so cool!

I hope you guys make a whole art book with the mazah region! With all your story descriptions and designs, I haven't been this hyped for a pokemon region in awhile , wish it was being made into a cannon pokemon game so badly T.T I love how much love and detail goes into your world!

Tf he literally guessed the theme for the gen 9 games!

Do you agree that Crabrawler should be called Crawbrawler? or maybe even Crawbrawl?

I love Cafecaracha and Flitjitter so much!! Ribombee is one of my faves and it seems like an electric type sibling of that bug line. The origin of it being based on coffee makes me love this line even more. All of these new designs are awesome though!

I absolutely adore the little guys in this ep. lil coffee bean and lil caffeine bug are so delightful! Flitjitter is probably my favorite though, we’re kindred spirits in many ways
