As a developing fakemon artist, it's always important to look back at your previous work and think "This needs a redo". Wherever needed, of course.

Ron has become so incredibly good at designing Pokémon. He was always good conceptually I think, but his art style and just technical skill have both massively improved.

I love love LOVE the new Starters! An amazing display of how far you have come as a Fakemon creator!

That’s such a throwback. The creating Pokémon from walks videos were literally what got me into the franchise. If I hadn’t been bored one night scrolling through KZfaq, one of the biggest aspects of how I spend my free time would be completely missing. It’s crazy to me that was so long ago, too.

So cool to see this become a series. It's awesome to see how far you've come as a fakemon creator, and getting to hear what you've learned as you've grown as an artist. Very inspiring!

I've been watching since he made pokemon from walks till the end of the Asone region and seeing these new designs are so cool! edit: Oh my god I did not expect 100 likes in 9 hours, thanks so much

Damn, the subtle changes you made to the pose and details of Invulover makes it look so much better! Another great addition to your channel! 🙌🏻

Eleafant is PRECIOUS. BABY.

I absolutely love the redesigns of the Asone Starters! The new Smokalf in peculiar is a HUGE improvement over the original!

Eleafant was adorable the second the sketching started and Dolflow looks really official! Absolutely love these new Fakemon and love seeing your improvement!

I thought I loved the old Dolflow but the new one is somehow even cuter even though it barely changed it is really cool to see how small changes can make such a big difference.

Oh my gosh, the improvement. Collectic is so fluffy and I love its shiny I adore Invulover's energy. Smokalf the baby has been updated! He is so shaped! Eleafant gives plushie vibes. Marketable baby guy Dolflow! I love how the slightest changes can have the biggest effect. Amazing

I love it how Dolflows arms/fins changed and now they look as if they were literal legs to walk on land, as it is a semi-water Pokémon, as all the water starters.

The new starters are making me cry they are so EXTREMELY BABY now, love your growth and discerning eye now!!

Even if I don’t prefer the redesign for some, I can still see the improvement in all the art!!

Fantastic updates to your work man! It must be so rewarding; the growth is clearly visible not in the art, but how you go over the previous flaws. Proud of ya mate!!!

It's nice to see a model on how to review past work in a healthy, constructive way. I think a lot of creatives (e.g., writers, artists, etc.) can easily fall into a trap of being frustrated or embarassed by our former works. Instead, you reflect on your past designs with curiousity! Love this!!

Eleafant is still my favorite of the three, but the glow up of the others also look great

Smokalf had a crazy glow up, I want it in my team asap

The thing about old design is that you appreciate the work you did put into you art, then you redesigned you are proud of how far you've come 😊 Your Fakemons are my favourite series because I am always in awe with the design and inspiration! RON, YOU KEEP IT UP LAD! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Invulover’s color scheme is amazing, really makes it pop compared to the original, and the rest of the regional birds. Might even be better than my favorite talonflame? 🤔 👍🏻

Surprisingly I think the knees are actually one of the most defining parts of an elephant, up there with the trunk and ears, I feel like your original design did need re doing but I think it would have been great if you somehow made a way for it to work whislt retaining those knees

I kinda like how the originals were more developed then normal starters. It made sense in the reigon because it's supposed to be the strongest one

This just shows how well Ron understands pokemon design philosophies.

I sayed "aw" lovingly by every starter redesign, they turned out all so cute!

your skill and art style have REALLY grown since then! stellar work as always

It’s kinda wild how just the simple changes made dolflow go from my least favorite in the trio to my favorite

I love seeing these! No matter how skilled you are as an artist it's all about having a good design philosophy. Smokalf is my favourite

I remember watching the original makings of these pokemon love that your improving on old designs

Your improvement over the last few years has been insane

Wanna try Akumatized Villains as Pokemon? I mean, the Toxic Chain, what the Loyal 3 wears, does seem to be like those infected butterflies that are filled with sadness, malice, and desire. So, if you're running out of ideas, let me help ya with it

Here's an idea: What if you design fakemon based on your viewer's descriptions? I'll start. Glowfly is a fakemon based on fireflies/lightning bugs. It's northern form is bug/electric while the southern form is bug/fire. It evolves into Embershock using a fire or thunder stone based on the form.

I love Smokalf's new hoof shape! also Dolflow is my everything

“I’ve been designing Fakemon on this channel for 5 years” gave me an actual heart attack, no WAY that was 5 years ago-

personally id love for you to keep redesigning your old fakemon because your art is so much better now and i think your old fakemon deserve a makeover

It’s amazing to see how far you’ve grown as an artist, and it’s been great to be along for the journey ❤ I look forward to all your future art endeavors, wherever they make take you!

if it servers to consolate you, I never thought those where extremly good designs xD! One exercise I aways did watching was "did I like this idea? what could I do to make it better? what would he do better if he was making it now?" but for real now, I was maratoning your vids on backward back then when I met your channel (got to know you thro Subjectively and was adicted to fakemon design videos), and was noticable how the quality of both your designs and drawings gave a sudden jump and improved so much in a very short time somewhere in the middle of it. It is awsome to see how far you got with something you love doing

Collectic = Much better, the legs have a weird line that makes it look partly split in the middle that one stripe beneath the wing confuses me. Inulover = The wing marking could be tweaked, I almost want to make it a stripe that fallows the elbow curve, but its pretty solid as is. Overall I love them and how you have improved.

The new designs are incredible and really shows how much you’ve grown as an artist!! Now you should redesign the rest of the starters lines

So good to see your art improve, I love watching your vids, and they cheered my up at some pretty hard times in my life. You're the goat 👑

I love the redesign of Dolflow it looks so much better 👏🏻💙

I love how Dolflow barely changes, it was my favorite back then and now its even smoler and cuter. Amazing!

Yay! A redesign sequel! (No Leaflat to go with Leaflutter, but hey there's always next time.) I have heard you stay your starter proportions are off a few times, so I expected those tweaks. The Poilover line though? That was a fun surprise! Awesome job!

it's so cool to see how much you've improved over the years! these redraws turned out fantastically

Oooh man, the asone region starters look so good now!!

These are massive improvements Ron, you’ve most definitely honed your skills designing official looking Fakemon over the years. The starters look incredible (I especially love the new Eleafant, my favourite out of the three) I want them to be real yesterday, and Inluver is leagues better than it’s original design.

seeing the dates blew me away, i can’t believe these videos started so long ago now! it’s been an amazing ride so far ✨

Your art never disappoints. But one thing I did notice is that whenever you make a Pokédex entry, it describes everything about the Pokémon, or at least a lot about it, but real Pokédex entry’s only describe one or two things about it, or reveal one thing or tell one story not all of that at once. Making your Pokédex entry’s shorter might make them seem more real. Other than that your art is amazing. Keep making art!

XD okay I appreciate the transition to your sponsor/ad "But before I redesign these Pokémon, how about you consider redesigning your nutrition goals!" XD it was just beautifully smooth I like XD

I know it would be a pain to do, and take a long time, but redesigning the Asone Pokédex with the knowledge you have gained about Fakemon would be cool to see. We could see how far you have come from when you started.

he finally redesigned smokalf! its bothered me for years that it looks too realistic! it looks so good now

I love the Smokalf redesign! Oxinerate was always my favorite of your starter trio, but Smokalf always looked too much like a regular calf (in my opinion). All the changes made here help it look like a pokemon and awesome first partner

These are all so adorable! Definitely makes them a lot harder to pick from!

I clicked this video because the cow fella looked like a neopets kau/ixi in the thumbnail but more deer-like, and your art style and process is really neat so youve earned a sub!

good lord I’ve been watching this man for like 8 years. I wasn’t even a teenager when I first started watching your content, and now I’m 20…

So happy to see how much progress you've made. It is so inspiring=) Love the redesigned mons=)

It’s really interesting how conceptually your original designs could all be Pokémon, but the new ones are more Pokémon like Pokémon 😆

My gosh, I love the thought that went into Smokalf's new design, especially the golden shiny!

i love the updated asone starters, theyre so friend-shaped now!!! :D

I think smokalf is now one of your best fakemon, not just in quality but also super convincingly like a real Pokémon. I'd want to start my journey with it for sure

Man I remember watching the original videos when they came out and thinking they were all the coolest designs I'd ever seen- The redesigns look lovely!!!

I’ve learned to no longer hate my old art but rather appreciate it because if I hadn’t made it then I wouldn’t have gotten to the place I am now. I no longer cringe when I see my old art, I get excited because of how much I’ve improved as an artist.

I subbed when you started your fakemon series and seeing how much you improved throughout the years is absolutely amazing and very inspiring!

I really love the redesign of smokalf, it now truly looks like a first form starter Pokemon.

It's So COOL to see how much you've learned and grown over the years in fakemon designing, it's really impressive not to mention inspiring !!! It honestly gets me pumped to draw - whether I'm drawing fakemon/pkmn or not ! I love every single one of your newer designs, so much thought is put into them yet kept on the simpler side to get the point (& shapes) across louder, how every design-pokemon or not-SHOULD be in my opinion !!! All in all TG, this got to be one of my fav batches of your fakemon yet, keep up the awesome work dude, would Love to see another~ !!!!

Hunting for paralysis resist Invulover: “C’mon, just open your wing, stupid bird!” *Opens wing* “IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THREE HOURS AND IT’S FREEZE RESIST?! AA-“

It feels really cool to be someone who has been here since part 1 and seeing these pokemon change through the years❤

It's so interesting to see how much your style has changed since those original drawings. I also like hearing you speak on your feelings about growing and learning through this process. Great video!

It’s so cool seeing you grow and adapt and learn, I haven’t been watching your most recent videos but I do have to say that I love how you spread out your shapes to more organic ones than the more poly-style at the beginning! This is honestly a really cool video to see and I hope to watch more of your videos!

I love elefants design but my slight critique is choosing a pose that shows off the tail without the ears covering it as much because it would help with the silhouette better.

I love the redesigns, only slight criticism of the smokalf redesign is it's looking less like a cow to me than the original, i think its the nose and mouth shape that's doing it.

They all look so much better, but dolflow is my favorite. It's soo cute!

Since Smokalf thinks so highly of itself, having a golden calf as a shiny is genius.

I draw fakemon and there's few things more satisfying than look at your old designs and giving them a much needed revamp

Invulover should change it's Normal typing to a type depending on the berry it ate when it evolved. Aspear- Ice Cheri- Electric Chesto- Psychic Pecha- Poison Rawst- Fire There's also the berries that reduce damage if the holder is hit by a certain Type of attack as well that this could work with as well. If it doesn't have one of these berries when it reaches it's evolution level then it'll have the Normal typing.

you've done great with the redesigns. i can see how much you've evolved as an artist.

Nice to see you’re revisiting some of these designs and making them feel a bit more Pokémon like

Oh my gosh, new Dolflow is perfect. It was already my starter pick before.

13:23 how to make a pokemon design go from c tier to A tier in one simple step:

The biggest thing that Ron did this episode is make one of the Pokémon look right instead of left

Emperor Cabinet gave me an idea. What if you designed a middle stage evolution for two-stage evolution Pokemon?

I feel like making the starters more chibi was an unnecessary choice. Starters nowadays are all chibi, and starters with more reasonably sized heads, like the gen one starters and your original starters, stand out for the better and look more realistic.

I love these videos because so many of your concepts are so amazing and it’s so nice to see them reach their full potential

Plz bring back the walk series, I loved watching them and designing fakemon on your walk and inspiring me to walk aswell

I prefer the original Eleafant. The redesing looks more like a baloon animal than a than a plant-rock-elephant. The rest of the new designs look great.

Im so happy you went back and reworked the asone starters! I felt they really needed a rework even when i firet saw em

I liked how old eleafant was a little bit bigger since baby elephants are not that small

I can't wait to see what the redesigns for the starter middle evos look like

The only issue I have with Invulover is that if it somehow became really good in competitive and you have your Invulover friend that you’ve owned for years but it’s immune to the wrong condition so that it isn’t good in competitive which means you have to get a new one and you can’t battle with your Invulover friend :( Maybe you can change the condition it’s immune to?

6:44 I think he should be flying poison. With it crazy bright patter , it can also have intimidate or poison touch as second ability

Smokalf was perfect already, I love him 🥺 Although I must admit it looked more like a middle evo of normal-type line. But honestly new Smokalf is overly cutesy IMO

The new starter designs are so CUTE! 😍Fantastic job; you've improved so much, and it's wonderful to see.

Holy dang, it's already been 3 Years?! Good lord, time flies. You've come a long way since dude!

Thats so wholesome, I'm in love again with your designs

Loved all your originals but the redesigns just make so much sense

The thing is new Smokalf scares me bcs its feet look likes toes and now I cant unsee it XD Awesome designs as always tho!

whenever I watch your videos I get kinda nostalgic because I've been watching your videos since I was 15 back before you did fakemon stuff and since then I've watched you grow as an artist and I'm turning 20 in a few months

i much prefer the old version of smokealf. the right looks more like a modern pokemon though, which is not something i always find desireable^^ i like both elephant designs, the dolphin much improved.

Always great to see and improve old designs. They still have the intended vibes but look way more like pokemon, great job!
