PART 2 IS OUT -With Harry Gold, PointyHat, n0rtist and technically a few more artists you might know ;) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bsWirMZqnb3QcX0.htmlsi=NBb_wRKNmNP5LuSP

the double vampeer was crazy haha

Vergo’s callback to the way orcas actually evolved is wild

Enlightenfent is probably the most brilliantly executed Fakemon I've ever seen. It just gets better and more layered the more you look at it, somehow without being overdesigned or overly complex.

Thanks for letting me cook with you Ron, and as always loved working with our wonderful company of artists

Thank you for having me for this video, Ron! What an absolutely fun one to be a part of!!!

I love the idea of Ronk having multiple evolutions based on how you raise it, and I think Stongre and Awakiln could actually be two sides of the same coin, Stongre evolving with higher physical attack and negative Friendship values while Awakiln would evolve with higher physical attack and high friendship. Meanwhile Enlitenfent and Knohm could evolve with high physical and special defense respectively

Thanks for having me on Ron! This was a lot of fun and especially cool to see all the different takes on the evolutions! 🤠

As an Indian person, I approve of Enlitenfent. Very cool design, I think it portrayed it's inspirations beautifully.

Orcrunch gives the same vibes as Luxray, an extremely cool shoe-in for every team!!

The Orcrunch line omg I’m obsessed, I love how she combines like evolution nerdiness with Pokémon. Literally my hyperfixation+special interest.

DAMN Vergo cooked hard on this one, Awakiln goes unbelievably insane.

Thank you so much for having me back! I loved this challenge and had a lot of fun making my fakemon. I look forward to more videos in this series!

I love gnawtacroc, and orcrunch honestly looks perfect. Duplicetus is great and has a perfect name and i think it deserves a third evolution.

I absolutely love gnawtacroc's line, also being 'not a croc' and reminding me of the evolution of whales slowly going back into the sea is a really nice touch :D

This was a great twist on the 4 Artists Fakemon series, and it was nice to see other artists interpretation on one Pokemon, and to see on which path do they take the Pokemon. Haven't begun the video yet, but I know it's gonna be a certified true green banger, just like every video in the playlist.

After how much they've worked together, the idea of Vergo reaching directly into Ron's brain to pull out his ideas sounds completely believable.

the elephant guy and awakiln are awesome. Particularly I love how awakiln is made of shapes that you just don't see being used in pokemon designs. It's got holes! And it is in the avatar state! Please continue this series the collaboration is awesome!

Enlitenfent is such a believable evolution

I always love Vergo’s approach to character creation. This was a really fun variation on the 4 Artists series.

Vapdeer cry would for sure be "blah blah blah"

Ronk and Bouldai would be such a great counterpart to Drowzee/Hypno, Spoink/Grumpig, and the Musharna line

I'd love to see more of this twist on the four artists design fakemon, maybe someone else that is on the group could create the base form to try and create from that? I would love to see something created by Bonny or Bilsu and what you and the others come up with.

30:38 "Enlightenment is overrated guys become ogre" I love that line it's so freaking funny. 🤣😂🤣

I though the jewel slits on Enlitenfent’s face were the eyes, and the slits above were eyebrows, but now I also see the thin line eyes and a jewel smile

My favorite part of this is all the artists gushing about each other it’s so cute 😭💖

Was I the only one that look at the second pre-evolution and thought "That's a koala"???

Everyone did such a good job on these, but I got a couple of highlights: Orcrunch is. So beautiful. I'm in love with this thing, damn. Like... No words, no notes, nothing. My new favorite thing right there. Ronk is such a cute little guy, damn. And Enlitenfent is so cool! Knohm kinda looks like it has a moustache (and then Ron mentions it in the video, oops). Awakiln's face reminds me of dunsparce... But by god, I love the concept of this thing. And Bouldai is so darn cute, too. Both in design and concept, I love it!

Great designs! My favorite of the batch has to be the Orcrunch line. Everything about it flows so well with the base form. Also shout out to double Vampeer

I love how Bonny always makes sick presentations before showing his fakemon, I get so hyped and I appreciate his commitment to this series Everyone did a wonderful work!

What fun! I made a musk deer/vampire deer Pokemon a while back! It is surprising, that not one, but TWO different artists knew enough about the actual animal enough to make them into fakemon for this video! ❤️ The different takes on them too are wonderful! 🥰 Lovely as always seeing how you bring the community together Ron!

As soon as i saw Hyoneer i couldn't think of anything but hyena. The spots, the head placement, the personality. A cheeky hyena pokemon would be an amazing evolution.

I really love Vergo's evolutions because when I saw the fakemon and the ability I really thought about the blue whales ancestor the Pakicetus Edit: YOOO WAS PRETTY CORRECT

We want nay we need a game of all truegreens creations. Gamefreak hire him before palworld does.

29:10 🤩💖 I love the design for Awakiln because it actually looks reminiscent of Koloktos from LoZ: Skyward Sword It's so cool, I'd definitely have it in my party.

So we aren’t going to talk about how cracked Knohm is? Look at its Stats, abilities, and Main moves

This was a fun idea for a video. I hope that you do this again in the future. I liked both takes on Vampeer and Phantler. I loved Vergo's Gnawtacroc and Orcrunch. The moment I saw Orcrunch, I thought to myself, "I NEED IT!" the same way Spongebob needed water in that episode where he first went to Sandy's place. While I enjoyed the Ronk portion of the video, my only critique with Ronk and Bouldai was that it didn't register with me that they were meant to be pig-inspired until you stated it. I thought that they were humanoid.

You know, I'm okay with Hyponeer having a branch evolution

Matter Mind I see being one of those "the impact it has is the one with the most beneficial to the user effect" type abilities. IE whether the attack is Psychical or Special depends on the stats of the target.

This is like when they reveal the first stage starters for a new gen I love it

competitive player here, Awakiln would be very good in OU depending on its moveset. Physical draining kisses, future sights, earth powers, power gems, and more would be insane in the meta, and that special defense is a godsend. I can see an assault vest set or a bulk up + shore up set

Orcrunch looks SO SICK Edit: Awakiln too, wow Vergo is one hell of an artist

Please do Holiday Icons as Pokemon!: Cupid Leprechaun Groundhog Uncle Sam etc.

I would love to see this become a new four artist series

Bouldai gives off big Uncle Iroh energy

it was so fun to see all these different designs! tbh i saw ronk as more a koala than a pig, am i the only one?

I love the idea of Ronk having split Evos!! It works very well with the Buddha statue origin!

Omg I need Orcrunch

Enlitenfent would be on my team in a heartbeat

I really want another speculative evolution Pokémon episode. I really liked that and thought we could use more Pokémon like that

Gnawtacroc is one of the all time best names of anything ever!

I’m not an artist in any regard, so I am always so impressed by the artists’ skill and creativity!! Bravo to all the artists involved

Part two would be excellent. That Orca one is insaaane.

Damn, Vergolophus' Orcrunch is SO COOL! I desperately need an Orca pokemon like that on my team!

i like how the ronk evos went: enlightlened, REALLY enlightened, REALLY REALLY enlightened, ogre demon

I love how they're so supportive of eachother omg... y'all are so sweet 😭😭😭

This has given me an idea that could be fun. A fakemon evolution relay. Basically you all design a three stage evolution, but with every stage it is passed to the next artist just like this and allow them to interpret the previous artist's ideas

Can we have GinjaNinja, DedBedSpread, Cuppaphee, and Moxie here for part two?

Ronk turning into Stongre which is inspired by oni accidentally also turned into a Buddhist reference with Shuten Douji who in some iterations was a monk turned oni

The way Vergo does the Dex pages is so cool looking. Honestly i wish this was how they were in the actual game. Like the dex could actively show the pokemons environment in the dex itself

These videos always have such great vibes. With so much negativity and competitiveness in the world, it's so heart warming to watch these talented people get together for the purpose of not only sharing their art but also uplifting each other. I love content like this, big thanks to everyone involved!

And here I was so confident that Ronk was based off a koala rather than a pig

28:15 "It loves the art of fighting." Ok, so it's the opposite of Dan Hibiki, then... 🤔🧐

I could definitely see Bouldai being the counter to Grumpig

Awakiln has got to be my favorite! Vergo did an incredible job drawing designing it!!

this was an amazing video, would love to see a similar one again

This is an amazing way to build on your previous 4 Artists series! A wonderful episode and I’m excited to see more

@TrueGreen7 comes up with the most unique, interesting challenges! The artists NEVER disappoint either! What a great video

Before watching this:😊

Loved this idea! My favorite of the video was probably Gnawtacroc, I just loved the energy and pose. Knohm was a close second! Great job to everyone though :)

Awakiln is easily the best fakemon I've ever seen. I love the concept, colours and design in every possible way.

I can easily see Ronk evolving into any and all of these potential evolutions based on the Friendship Mechanic: - 0-50 (Malevolent) = Evolves into Stongre (The hatred that it harbors for its trainer has corrupted it, turning it into a Malevolent Monster. Trainers that own Stongre are rarely trusted due to the circumstances that lead to its evolution. Stongre are known to attack their trainers unexpectedly, so it is advised to exercise caution while training this Pokemon.) - 51-101 (Anxious) = Evolves into Awakiln (The anxiety that this Pokemon feels can be seen through it's constantly shifting sand body. Whether the consciousness of this Pokemon resides in the inner core's body or the outer shell remains a mystery. Despite it's anxiety, Awakiln are proud of who they were and how far they have come.) - 52-152 (Neutral) = Enlitenfent (This Pokemon is in a constant state of tranquility and neutrality, many which consider to be a state of enlightenment. Enlitenfent is a solid mass of psychic energy in a rock casing made hard by its mental fortitude. It focuses its psychic energy through it's trunk, he only part of its body capable of movement.) - 153-203 (Benevolent) = Bouldai (This Pokemon is constantly trying to help others and do good deeds because of its benevolent nature. Its upbringing has caused its kindness to grow exponentially. It never acquires possessions or attachments, and loves bringing joy to children. It will occasionally gift random strangers with precious stones.) - 204-255 (Narvana) = Knohm (This Pokemon has reached a state of Narvana, separating its spirit from its physical form. Eternally calm and knowledgeable, Knohm are often sought for guidance. It uses the Gem on its head and the remains of its stone body to channel spiritual energy. While pacifist in nature, it will not hesitate to defend itself or others.) Also, I feel like your description on Bouldai... it should have abilities focused on throwing away or being unable to use items. Kluts and Unburden would be interesting to see, especially on a 65 speed Pokemon (effectively becoming a 130 speed Pokemon, yikes). (Edit) Arguably Bouldai and Knohm can be swapped

I’d like to think that the second Vampeer would be a regional form for the first one.

my favourite of any of the series' that ron does is when he brings other artists in like this! no matter what everyone comes up with, it's always so incredible to see everyone's amazing ideas!

All of these are brilliant. The artists did a great job. I was so happy to see a couple of my favorites here! Knohm is a wonderfully executed concept. I love out-of-the-box ideas like that. I just wanted to show him a little bit of love in the comment section. 🖤

I am dying over the double vampeer

Would be cool to see you and your guest create a Pokémon based off of word chains. Like Flower-Power-Lifter could be a Grass Fighting weightlifting Pokémon and when it evolves a new word can be added to modify it further like Sun-Flower-Power-Lifter.

I think all of Ronk's evolutions would make a great split evo like the Hitmons. They're all so different yet so plausible to the original!!

sand regional variant that evolves into vergos would be cool

Loved this concept, definitely want more collaborations of this type in future.

Oh now this is a fascinating idea. Taking something you designed and saying hey design an evo for this could really give you ideas for future mons. Plus everybody has such unique ideas it also shows how different people are when it comes to their own design concepts

nintendo needs to hire y’all fr id love to see these kind of well thought out designs in the games :))

Amazing video Ron! Def would love more like this.

So i did a follow along where i also draw the evo myself. It's pretty fun even though i didn't put much thought into the design or anything.

20:14 That… has to be one of the best Fakemon names I’ve heard in quite some time!

Would absolutely love to see more of these type of vids

this is my first time watching this series and i am just in awe at the lore, designs and thought process behind them every time

they all did amazing but vergo killed it. loved the dex page and the designs. as a water type stan im amazed

This was such a strong episode! Hyoneer and Ronk were perfect starting prompts to inspire the other artists, and what each of them came up with were so good! I loved all of them! I hope you make another video like this in the future. It was really cool to see how different artists' creative minds come up with unique designs.

This might be my favorite of the collab artists videos.

This is such a great idea. Next time I want to see them make a 2nd and 3rd stage evolution to your base pokemon, So that they can transition well and make extreme concept but still makes sense.

During Vergo's discussion of Ronk and how it could evolve, I got the picture in my head of it needing to learn Waterfall to evolve. Given the recent games' trend of moving away from HMs and towards Ride-share Pokémon, it would be crazy cool if you could have Ronks in your party evolve by having either Calm Mind or Focus Punch in its moveset, but only if you go _up_ a Waterfall while they're in your party. And that's how you get the Stongre/Awakiln (or Knohm) split

Orcrunch would easily be in my top 10 favorite pokemon of all time. It resembles Obstagoon, but it is extremely clean in its design, colors, and linework. That Pokemon is absolutely amazing!

This was a great format idea! I loved seeing the different directions one idea could go. You should definitely do this again!

I love how for the silhouette of knohm It doesn't show the ray of light because usually in other pokémon that have rays like that it does

For me, I would have given Ronk a Terracotta Army-inspired evolution. *Terrorcata,* the Stone Warden Pokemon Rock/Fighting "Terrorcata are Ronks that were willingly placed in the tombs of kings and emperors, serving as spiritual guides to the fallen rulers, as well as to protect their tombs from evil spirits and burglars. They can lie motionless for centuries during their eternal vigil, but have surprising speed when called to action."

hyaneer’s design really reminded me of the thylacine, and the entire orcrunch line was so gorgeous!!

Seeing other takes on the evolution for Ronk made me happy because I always want to learn a bit more on buddism and how it's incorperated into Pokemon.

Absolutely crazy episode! 5 artists with similar inspiration but such different ideas, really awesome! Cool to see Ronk back, I loved the original your walk pokemon series.

Of course I want to see more of this, though I would love it if the concept was expanded to using fan-submitted concepts as the bases.
