that is too damn cute

Awwwww❤

​@@BonnyJohn yeea❤😊

I also see it evolving and it’s trainer not liking it anymore 😢

@@harryfitz3789 it wouldn’t get that far cause I’d harvest it’s shell for profit

Was actually thinking about that for the final form as well! It absolutely tracks, but I felt like the message I wanted to convey was the discipline element, which is why I went with "Measure twice, cut once."!

HOOOOO 0.0

Detonant too ! Since he becomes stronger after being downed at 50% or less HP

I had been thinking about the shiny locked element while creating the Pokemon, and even more so reading the comments. I think since the Pokemon games, while for all ages, usually resonate with a newer and younger generation with each new sequel, I'd imagine they could give the player a Shiny Empteegr as part of a storyline. It'll be very hard to evolve and help it fight but the gamer would again, persevere, and be rewarded after a long arduous journey with their Empteegr. I could definitely see an antagonist in the game having a Teegrr and being confident, making fun of the player and Empteegr for being weaker/different. The younger generations could learn a nice lesson along the way!

it might be cool if its not part of the official dex, or if catching one form automatically registers the rest of the forms

An alternative to justify it could be an epic gift Pokémon. If you do something obscenely hard like complete all the battle towers, complete all of the Pokédex except Empttegrr, or level up a Pokémon to level 100; a random NPC in an obscure place will gift you an empteegrr. Or will mention a strange colored Pokémon in a route.

@@BonnyJohn😊

It could be a mon you get from a very special side quest like how you got a Lucario in D/P/PLT Like you go to an optional area find a Empteegr and have to help it escape that area and then it will form a bond with you and let you capture it. Maybe also make it a one time thing where you can mess up and it will just run away and never come back.

I'm glad it resonates in that way!

Not just that. It's also a call to people with emotional scars. At first it was ostracised cause it was different, then it began hating those scars, then it finally became one with it. Crap, as someone who's been through insane stuff in his life this hits HARD.

@@BonnyJohn Bit of a late reply but with Empteegr being all white to represent albinism and/or leucism and Kintorai being all black it represents the opposite side of real world 'shinies', melanism which IRL melanistic animals actually do pretty well in the wild.

One thing I'm wondering about; what about the normal variant? The video skipped its evolution.

The only issue is that it means it does not actually have a shiny version. Just a variant that exists as rarely as its shiny rate.

General Iroh is so great

@@SlacktivistWeeb REAL

@@SlacktivistWeeb yeah

Looking at your pfp, yeah i can see that

@@mynaymissnek3097 live laugh nabstablook

We love you

I wanna say? I loved Kintorai and its line. It made me feel seen as an autistic person, because, being different and having disadvantages in life already make pushing through, harder? But in recent years I'm finally starting to see the light and see myself flourish, despite being hurt and setback for years. To be real, I feel as thought I started as Teegrr but lost my stripes, before turning my weakness to strength. Which is why I actually thought you'd be developing what Teegrr turns into alongside empteegrr. I was under the assumption that Teegrr would be a nod to gifted kid syndrome, where, some children, mainly undiagnosed autistic kids, are more advanced than their peers and excel in some places but fall behind in others, that when they move up and grow up, they find they can't keep up with their peers anymore because they weren't taught the same way. So my thought was, when Teegrr evolved, its stripes turn dull and it's stats get worse because it's burnt out. It can't hunt like it used to, and it doesn't know what happened, what went wrong, what's wrong with it. I thought it would still turn to Kintorai in the end, because it still found its place and learned to push through hardship and find what works best, which still ties into the messages you chose. All in all, really saved the best for last and cannot wait to see more, I just wanted to share that little thought in my head.

I just want to say your storytelling in your art this video...absolutely beautiful.

Bonny! Welcome back! It was a blast to have you on board! I honestly loved your last 4 Artists presentation and these mons are just as amazing, if not better than the ones you made previously.

I absolutely love your Kintorai concept! Like others, it left me completely speechless (and teary-eyed) because of how amazing it was!

I love this quote, But I don't know why but the 1st thing that came to my head was a night vision pokemon. Like it evolves into a pokemon that can see using Infrared adapting to quote "Look at the Bright side"

For real

I agree

yo pragmajik i love your content

@@MasonButHistory bro the correct spelling of my name is RIGHT there 😂

I like how you did the cornera region and all it’s really cool Pokémon Keep up the great work!

Funny Irish Bed Man

just wanted to tell you that i think snorzzzoi is such an amazing concept, and the name is so creative too, I'm not a dog person, but i would use that on my team

Glad you went off, king! I've been a fan for days on end! Your mons were especially impressive in this episode!

here is another proverb "every poo poo is pee pee time but not every pee pee is poo poo time"

Detanat gave me so many Kamen Rider vibes ngl

Definitely the most wholesome episode by far IMO!

I had no idea I'd been watching that long --this utter joy of a journey melted away all sense of time, and I feel richer for it.

and squeal over the other Fakemon she likes which I like, it shows how good the 'mon is

She's damn good at it!!!

She loves reptiles and dinosaurs…

@@ichigopockychan and dragons, can't forget the dragons

Ahhh, I LOVE FMA so I really appreciate this comment! Also, slight correction - Kintorai embraces his scars/stripes -- Hostiger, the middle form, despises its scars!

@@BonnyJohn eh, potatoe, pototoe

It really embodies the ,the nail sticking out gets the hammer, and how they would have persevere & adapt to survive.

👀

What if it’s ground electric rather than steel electric, to reflect that it wasn’t as hardened by life, while also showing that it has a natural advantage

That regional form idea is so unhinged I love it

🙏

Thanks for such a kind comment

For sure that was the focus of going with the shiny here! I know the idea of a shiny is to not have any specific advantage over their counterpart so Empteegrr is definitely in its own little corner to explore that concept

In the words of Ed Sheeran, - pick up the pieces and build a lego house. Kiktorai is the most badass lego house ever built

@average agreed >:D

I agree lol this episode had some of my favorite fakemon I’ve seen them being baskilisk and the kilofellow line all of them being in my top ten favorite fakemon lol

Glad you liked our work!

It’s no proverb.

Perhaps it should be a proverb...

The Pokémon is a lotus-flower-chip-shaped ship to reference the reason that phrase was said was because they were looking for Uncle Iroh’s lotus-flower chip.

That is where the "kin" in "kintsugi" comes from. Though unrelated, there is another "kin" thar stands for "forbidden".
