I was like "wait, this looks like an actual video, maybe he isn't doing an April fools joke this year", and then thrusting arms came along.

All jokes aside, Iron Oracle looks very cool

"GameFreak would definitely make a Pokemon like this" 😂 brilliantly done sir, brilliantly done.

Thrusting arms is such a unique design, gamefreak needs to hire you asap

Present Carrier looks like something right out of Gen 2. You're so talented.

Starting off with a legit paradox fakemon was a genius setup 🤣 it wasn’t until Delibird that I checked the date I feel so foolish

When Gothitelle normally predicts the future, could paradox Gothitelle be a paradox itself and predict the past?

My thought process throughout the video: #1: I like the design #2: *wasn't really paying attention* it looks a bit too much like the normal version #3: WTF that is literally just mega Sala- Oh it's that day today. Fell for it again this year 😅

I actually really like Iron Oracle! (Love that you did make a real one mixed with the April Fools joke)

Absolutely love these new designs, each one is super unique and fully fleshed out

As soon as he was talking as if Hariyama wasn't a thing I busted out laughing, knowing this was an April fool's video first I just didn't know what direction he was going until he started drawing Hariyama 😂

wow I love Thrusting Arms, Iron Crest, And Present Carrier they all look so creative and unique they both are just really good I hope GameFreak actually adds these pokemon to the future games or the upcoming dlc.

I like that there was an actual fakemon at first, I love Gothitelle, so I appreciate this version

Oh god damnit, I fell for it. Iron Oracle is pretty cool though. Honestly adding a normal fakemon at the beginning helped sell the illusion that this was a normal video

He really lulled us into a false sense of security with that first one LMAO

I love Iron Crescent. Such a creative design that I totally have never seen before.

This video is the literal definition of "They had us in the first half, not gonna lie..." (Edit: Doing a legit Round 2 of Creating Paradox Pokemon would be pretty nice though.)

As a big fan of Gothitelle, I love Iron Oracle!! Also love how you said the first one was created by a genius scientist in the image of his late wife, following up on the fact that some humans and Pokémon get married 😅

Idk how GameFreak hasn’t thought of any design inspirations like these

Damn those are really good designs really looks like gamefreak would make them.

This video is the definition of "they got us in the first half"

When you first described thrusting arms I was confused but then I watched and I love it😂😂

Love how he eased us into it with a real fakemon

April Fools aside, i actually think the iron oracle is how they should've made the future paradox forms. Adding some new elements, making it look metallic and stick to its original design.

Iron crescent looks so unique! It looks so authentic too

4:38 Bro thrusting arm be lookin' fresh AF. It really mimics gen 3 design philosophy

I thought Ron was making a normal video and Iron Oracle solidified that statement but then Thrusting Arms came

I was drifting into a nap, so I caught all of Iron Oracle, fell asleep just before you described what you were doing with Iron Hands, and woke up right as you were finishing the description of Present Carrier. Because of what day it is and already doing the Sonic game today, my mind immediately realized what I missed, and I loved it.

Gotta say Iron Cap looks super cool! Definitely something Gamefreak would make. I love how the Pokeball blends in more and the shape getting rounder overall. The artstyle is *suspiciously* more Sugimori-esque, like, it just feels right. 3:28 is when I realized “Wait, something ain’t right”, exactly when you said “Sumo Wrestling”. But I actually really like the concept of giving Future Paradoxes their Past counterparts. Definitely something worth looking at. Perhaps Iron Valiant’s past Paradox form was also one whole Pokémon. Some sort of fusion with the details of Mega Gardevoir and Gallade.

These designs are very cool! I wish Game Freak would do something like this in the DLC. Present Carrier is my fav ^_^

That was a great fake out, definitely wasn’t expecting it after the first one 😂😅

I don't know why but I have been thinking a future form of Xatu that is basically a satellite. In Mystery Dungeon, Xatu is portrayed to stare at the sun. Maybe a satellite that study the sun.

Part of me really thought we might not be getting an actual aprils fools, but like always these jokes are top notch It was nice to have one actual design here though, iron oracle is super cool

Love the originality of Iron Crescent, such a unique mon :)

oh cool this actually ISN'T an april fools joke! thank you ron!

The fact he said “iron cap is among us”

Using the one new design to rope us in, fantastically done Ron!

I love how you designed past paradoxes for the future paradox pokemon and vice versa. You really capture a streamline evolution look to them!

Oooooh so this is gonna come out on April Fool's Day for the squares

Man, the videos this year are all just fantastic. The quality and humor put into them make them hard to overlook.

Hilarious 😂😂😂😂 but I did wanna see more "real" paradox forms otherwise i couldnt stop laughing once I realized what was going on

These paradox designs are phenomenal! You should be very proud of yourself.

“Iron Cap is Among us” is the best phrase in the video

This is even more clever than last year's video XD Making Paradox forms out of actual Paradox Pokemon as an excuse to just draw normal Pokemon is so clever! And I admit that Iron Oracle is actually pretty to be a joke on itself, it's like a joke and not a joke at the same time, and that's just perfect.

I love this paradox designs❤ Hope that gamefreak could do something similar in the future.

Gotta say... love your artwork, pretty authentic

Ron: “Thrusting Arms” Hariyama: “AM I A JOKE TO YOU?!”

Thrusting arms is definetly my favorite paradox Mon you have made , it has such great detail

I love how paradox Gothitelle looks even more like haikyuu's Kageyama than the original

Iron Oracle was the only one that was a real fakemon if anyone was wondering!

This is quite possibly the most creative April Fools video I’ve seen today, well played.

From the thumbnail I was immediately intrigued by the metropolis inspiration The serious breakdown of the rest of the designs 😂 great video

Iron Oracle is a good name, gothitelle does need some attention.

I love this!!! I dunno if you see this comment Ron, but I wanna see what Rayquaza looked like in the ancient past. Groudon and Kyogre had ancient forms, so maybe Rayquaza might have too?? Rayquaza is my favorite ❤

"Iron Cap is among us" *Well done.*

If future Hariyama is Iron Hands, that makes present Hariyama Flesh Hands. I refuse to change my mind on this

No offense, but Present Carrier doesn't look like a Pokémon. Game Freak would NEVER make a Pokémon like that. It's a nice idea though.

These still are better than most Paldean Pokemon designs (looking at you Flamigo)

he got us in the first half ngl

These Pokémon are amazing!!! I love it! April fools everyone!

THERE AMAZING 🎉🤩🥳

Thank you for being concerned about offending the Christian audience. That is very kind of you being worried about cultural appropriation

I feel like I’ve been transported to an alternate dimension

I didn't notice until 4:40 because my brain was still half thinking about old sci-fi movies instead of today, good job!

It's a shame that the official designs don't really change up the design.

I am so embarrassed that I fell for Thrusting Arms. As you started the segment, I kept saying "Ron, Iron Hands is based on Hariyama, what are you talking about?" And then the time lapse started and I remembered what day it is. Perfectly executed. Bravo, sir, bravo.

one could argue that this format of april fools joke doesn't work after you've already done it once or twice, but i'd argue that these are still worth the watch to see what commentary ron gives on these very new and unique and never-before-seen designs

It took me so long to realize this was an April fools day video

"Iron Cap is among us" i literally died

"Iron Cap is among us!" how did i not see that coming.

Thrusting arms is such a cool and original design I love it so much

I can’t believe all of these except for Iron Oracle was an April fools joke. Good one man. 😂😂😂😂

I was literally thinking that this man had made a mistake until I thought about what today was

I like how you could've all made those jokes but still to the time to create the first one, just in case. Also, 4:16

I like the fact the first was you making the Paradox Gothitelle, then you just recreated the Pokemon Art.

I just realized this was a April fools video 😂😂 I thought I was tripping for a second lol

Holy moly using Hel as the basis for Gothitelle's paradox form is absolutely inspired. I watched Metropolis a fee months ago and i was absolutely amazed by the quality of that film despite it being so old. Even if this is an april fools video that was such an awesome idea.

I love the mixup of starting with a genuine fakemon instead of being an obvious troll from the beginning

Not gonna lie. I laughed out loud at the "Iron Cap is among us (Amoongus)" 😂 joke, so I hope it was intentional. Great video for this time of the year!

Iron Bundle is already ancient "The robot was said to have been created by an ancient civilization." - Scarlet Pokedex entry

Lol the fake out was great and even if it was just part of a joke-Iron Oracle looks pretty decent!

I see what you did there. The first one made it seem like we were in for a normal video, but then the next two… You sly, sly insanely talented man

Hm, these were some very interesting designs and ideas, I think I like Iron Oracle the most. Also, I started to be suspicious the moment Thrusting Arms came along, very funny by the way. Anyway, if you ever actually do make another video about this topic, i will look forward to see what you come up with next.

I WAS SO CONFUSED BUT THEN I REALIZED WHAT DAY IT WAS LMFAO

These designs are so good, probably the best designs so far! Well done!

u definitely got me. after seeing iron oracle i thought this was a real video and then when u got to thrusting arms i thought “oh isn’t that too much like a regular hariyama?” and then when u mentioned salamence i knew something was up

This kinda gave me the idea of "skin-wrapping" pokemon, trying to guess what a pokemon would be like just by their skeleton alone.

Gothitelle is one of my favorite Pokemon and while I'm not a fan of future Paradoxes and would have loved to see her as a past Paradox, you did a great job with it and I'm super impressed. EDIT:: Got the 1,000th like on the video

It was so cool getting into the actual April Fools part because this was the idea I suggested.

When the Hariyama and Among Us Sus came on the screen, I was so confused.

I've had this video in my "Watch Later" playlist for a while and finally decided to watch it today. The full title of the video was cut off and so I didn't see the (April Fool's) warning before watching. Needless to say, I've been tricked and bamboozled.

“Iron cap is among us.” That was good.

The “Iron Cap is among us” line broke me!

Thrusting Arms is peak design... you are really getting the hang off the official pokemon rendering

when he said "iron cap is among us" is when i immediately loved this video

Ron, sometimes you are just an absolute gem- 😂

Lured in with a real fakemon only to be tricked on April Fools Day. Well played Rob, well played.

Iron Oracle looks cool. :D Wow, you've mimicked the Pokemon art style perfectly, they look so official. Hmm, what do you think a future paradox form for Sandy Shocks would look like? I'd imagine they'd have smaller magnets that don't have the metal shavings on the ends because like Iron Cap they're cleaned costantly. They could even call it Iron Magnets and swap out the rock type for steal. (It was 4:31 that made me skip ahead to check if the rest were also done like that.)

I am a German and find it hilarious how you say "Maschinenmensch". I don't even know why but this already made my day: :D

Man, all these designs are spot-on. Gamefreak should take notes
