As the creator of the Leweka Region and director of fan games Order & Chaos, I’d like to thank you for not only asking my permission to make this video (sadly many don’t), but bringing the energy you did! I really enjoyed re-exploring my region through your eyes. ❤️🖤💚
I kinda miss a Meerkat Pokemon in the region. However, i am very satisfied with the rest of the selection of Pokemon and you most likely needed to choose which animal to use as inspiration for Pokemon.
@@nickdentoom1173 Watchog already fits the meerkat, Pyroar a lion, Zebstrika a zebra etc. all of which I love as is. So I was more interested in doing animal species that haven’t been done justice yet. However all of the Pokémon lines and many other old ones can be found in the Leweka Region.
@@mykemon_regions Which is totally fine obviously. I like your idea for the regional Rhyhorn line, i think the concept is awesome, seeing the real life Rhinos being basically extinct.
Talented people? This is all done by one person lol. Well, one person came up with the whole region and pokemon concepts but commissioned multiple artists to draw the pokemon he envisioned.
@@anonymousmonkey9491 Heck yeah! My toxtricity had fantastic defense and special attack. It was hard to bring her down. Sometimes, I had to throw her on the field so that I could heal another Pokemon, because I knew she wouldn't be taken down.
Africa is such a huge continent with many different cultures I cannot believe how they managed to make it perfect while basing it off a whole continent
Thank you so much! This has to be one of my favorite comments EVER. I had a lot of people doubtful I’d be able to do it in the beginning - and rightfully so! But I tried my very best to honor the vast culture and wildlife of all of Africa’s diverse countries. Best part is I learnt a lot in the process. 🤓❤️🖤💚
@@leonardofarias8843 huh? Sadly they’re not actually involved with the project or region at all. I just commissioned them to make the artwork for my original map which was designed by me. However, I am a huge fan of their work! ❤️
@@QMoore Australia would be so fun! I would absolutely adore a blue tongued skink pokemon, not to mention Australia has so many cool and interesting animals; I don't know a lot about Australian culture or lore or anything so idk if there's much there that's interesting but I bet they could find something.
@@testerwulf3357 with the land they can also add the islands from New Zealand as well the original people of the land of Australia to the game. It can be like Sun & Moon in a sense but without the trials though 😬😂
Maybe. They've branched into an England region instead of keeping the universal culture they had before. Beginning with Alola as Hawaii. So, they've obviously taken an international approach. Uh, and the Arceus game coming might count as a crossover or copyright infringement lol! Pokemon: Breath of the Wild Area.
@Former Child Model All fangames are on the internet and can be downloaded on a computer. Just search up the name of the region or "game" and you''ll probably find a download for it, or just search up "Pokemon fan games" and you'll find sites that have a whole library of them. For a lot of the games you'll need to open the file (use winrar if it doesn't open normally) and to start the game you double click "Game" P.S if the folder has a file named "Note" It's probably best to click it, it'll tell you something like a game-breaking glitch to avoid or something as simple as not having a certain text type available.
I love how ryhorn's regional varient seems to pay omage to the disappearing rhinos of today. With the ghostly horn because of poachers going after the horn and the sad look of a dying species
Sadly, such brilliance like that would probably get struck down by GameFreak or be seen as offensive by people who don't even play the game, but do find new things to complain about in media that doesn't cater to them.
The dude who made this region and pokedex is a total genius, he actually made a fossil based on spinosaurus, who used to be in egypt millions of years ago Edit: this is the most likes ive ever gotten, dang
Would’ve been nice if the other fossil were some kind of ancient whale. Because Egypt used to be under water during the Cenozoic period aka age of mammals.
These need to be real games, I would have paid good money for this one to be made instead of Galar Region trash I bet nothing in the next generation nintendo can come up with can top this!!!
The detachment I’ve had with Pokémon over the years is lack of originality at this point and brings me outside the universe as an older fan of the original Pokédex. But this video opens my eyes to all the potential there really is to be made with the creativity and the regions and culture. There’s no excuse for Game Freak to not have original creative Pokémon.
Something I noticed with the Rhyhorn regional variant. I think it’s concept is so good, pulling from the hunting of Rhinos in the real world. You can see its expression looks distraught, and it’s horn is gone and replaced with fire ):
as someone who is egyptian, I dont, this looks very stereotypical and also I dont understand why everyone look like they are from an african tribe instead of looking like actual egyptians
You do know Egypt is in Africa right, and blacks are /were considered Egyptian and Africa. Y’all stole a lot of shyt during the old days but His-story doesn’t teach you that
Idk how to say it but somehow this is actually what "regional" pokemon should be. you clearly see they took time to extract the designs from real life cultures and local animals. They also actually look like Pokemon too!
Man, that regional Rhyhorn hits real. It lost its horn and died, like how poachers and Chinese have been killing off rhinos by cutting off their horns. Rhino species have probably the most extinct members. They are the closest to having their entire family of species going extinct.
Also, no, I like Aromatisse. It is unique, not a generic flamingo or plague doctor. It's a cancan dancer, who used to have males crossdress, hence the slight chance of having a male Aromatisse.
The pokemon design philosophy of ken sugimori, if i remember correctly, is that the pokemon must look like it could be your friend. these pokemon designs absolutely fit that. this looks absolutely phenominal.
Moondrill is definitely based off the baboon from the lion King and I like it. Seriously, a lot of these are awesome. One thing I never get is why pokemon don't do more stuff like this. Great work!
These Pokémon are actually becoming games according to the director. They’re coming out around 2022 I think Edit: For anyone questioning me the pinned comment under this video says that games are being made, fan games. The creator himself commented
This is probably the the most cohesive collection of Pokémon Pokémon, characters, and concepts. This would be an amazing fan game if it used assets from gen 6 or 7!
1 minute in and your plotline is already more interesting than any Game Freak as given us in a while 😂😂 Also loved making the mains non-white characters. Thank you! Refreshing AF. The whole thing. Africa would make an EXCELLENT region.
@@leonardofarias8843 Who are you talkig to? Either way, your comment is really amazingly dumb. Yeah, stop crying is always a flipping dumb statement anyway. Isnt that common knowledge at this point? Dude, its 2021.
I love the ideas and all the amazing designs Africa doesn't get mentioned enough in Pokemon I love the rebirth forms and as a Nigerian this inspires me to make my own African designs Thank you.
20:54 this really caught my attention right here sharks followed slave ships because many were thrown overboard this guy really put a lot of cryptic messages in these designs, beautiful 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Okay so this is the first time I’m seeing your channel and dude... Your energy and excitement for these designs and regions is so wholesome and made me smile the entire time! Like, you’re so positive about this and talk so greatly about these designs (as you should!) and it just really made me happy because it’s so nice to just see creators supporting each other and bonding over something like video games and concepts like this
I'm from South Africa, and this right here is one of the absolute DREAM Pokemon games!! Can't get over all these creative designs; they are INCREDIBLE!!! Thekwatt reminds me of the Thunderbird myth, Gazap and Zapelle I ADORE, Gnusno and Childabeast are AWESOME, Civer and Shivet, Splastro and Dimenphin, Vesshark, OMGOSH Majestehk, the Boltah line, dude, there are just SO MANY THAT I LOVE TO BITS AND WANT TO BE ACTUAL POKEMON!!! Another very amazing one is the Rhyhorn Lewekan form based on rhinos being hunted to almost extinction for their horns. The design with the missing horn with the blue flame and the skeleton forming over its body with the ghost typing... Omgosh, just amazingly executed concept! I'm just blown away.
I really wish this fan region was real because out of all the fan made regions I've seen on Instagram, this is easily my favorite. I love the starters (especially the water elephant line), the Pokemon and the characters. It's all amazing.
I love when Pokemon fan games are made. Loving the new Pokemon type's and the region too. To the Creator & director of this game, you really did your thing with the Leweka Region. I hope we can see it come to life on the Switch in the future 1 day.
16:06 the reason I believe combadge is part bug has to do with some ecology. It seems to be based off the honey badger and not to get into a whole research paper but when honey badgers raid hives they get a lot of honey and bees stuck to them. I think this artist is a genius for incorporating ecology into this Pokémon to give it a unique typing contrasting to their looks.
I can see the Pokédex going “Syratel the badger Pokémon. After years of adaptation to combee and beedrill stings they’ve more or less become immune to bug venom. These intelligent Pokémon even incorporated the honey and hive stuck to them constantly into their attacks.”
Only 2 minutes into the video and I'm amazed I was never recommended on your channel sooner. The amount of thought, creativity and heart you poured into it, truly is unbelievable and inspiring! I'm at awe, and am eager to continue watching this video (and of course, more of your contents - I've subscribed right before writing these lines).
15:44 Syratel and Combadge seem to be based on the *honey* *badger* , from the mustelidae family (like the weasel & co !). A very tough animal who is able to fight against hudge predators. Honey badgers prey on small animals and insects. They also eat plants, berries... and, as can be guessed from the name, honey :)
amazing dex through and through, but the regional variants are what really got me!! brilliant design choices, I would love to see these come to fruition. Pharachu, Mummeon, Anubrios, and Arcanine are straight up amazing. and I really want a Mystekh
Oh, Syratel and Honbadge are Honey Badgers, and Honey badgers specialize in stealing honey from “bee” hives. That explains its bug and fighting-type. Fun fact: Honey Badgers are immune to every type of venom. This is because they feed on all sorts of venomous creatures (honey bees, cobras, etc.).
@@ignisardenti2486 lol it makes just as much sense, if not more than Altaria, Goomy, Mega Ampharos and Alolan Exceggutor being Dragon types despite being actual Dragons. Lol
@@casualscrollron3923 it’s not just because it eats bugs, but the fact it literally has beehives and honey as part of its anatomy being based on a Honey Badger. 🍯 🐝
I just love this region so much but at the same time I feel sad, because I had the idea to make a futuristic ancient Egypt region, including an Anubis-lucario evolution...but I guess I’m too late :,) But hey, this is so much better than anything I could make anyway!
OMG!!! GAMEFREAK, HIRE WHOEVER MADE THIS!!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! The pokemon designs, the region, the story, it needs to be made into an official game.
@@Pokemon32961If you want skin tones then might as well play the sims (even that game barely had any in their 4th installments). The ones they provided is good enough to atleast resembles the general ethnic of such skin color. You think whites have only 1 or 2 skin tones like the game?
Seeing as how Gamefreak seems to be running out of creative ideas. They should just hold a contest. Top 5 or 10 Pokémon ideas get put into the game. The artist gets their name in the credits, and maybe receive half price or full price reduction on the game.
I loved this, so creative! As a person who was obsessed with Ancient Egypt and Pokémon as a child this brought back all of those feelings of curiosity and excitement I used to get when reading/watching stuff about the mythology of Ancient Egypt, just with an extra Pokémon twist. Edit: Oh my god I love Heiracat, Basphinx and Nightmarach wow Edit 2: Aloeviate as a name for a healing grass type is probably the best thing I ever heard today lmao
This is the best regional game I have seen! From the concept, art, and characters, this pays homage to the original geography and history of the African continent and Egypt while still feeling fresh. The new pokemon designs are strong enough to not need much overlap with other regions; I would say no overlap needed (but the Pharaoh pikachu evolution is pretty sick). Usually, I only like 20 pokemon introduced in each game and usually play a core six for the entirety of the play through. I would literally have to catch 'em all in this one though. I also love the subtle touches like the ghost pokemon made from the urns they put the mummy organs in. CLEVER!!!
Why do fan animations always look better then actual designs? I literally liked every single design I wouldn't even know who to have on my team lol Game freak really needs to hire this guy and all the other people who make their own pokemon.
Nice to see such diverse characters and a beautiful plethora of Pokemon done so well. I am so invested in this and I am waiting for this game even if it takes 3 years!
This is the first time I liked the fire type the least! (All of these starters are amazing.) the water type being a genie is genius! Also the Sphinx is the only ground type I will ever have used if this becomes a reality.
15:45 it's a Honey Badger with the bee hives dripping honey, love it, incredible. All of these are amazing I'd love to see any of these in a legit game or to see a fan game get completed
Infamous trainer: I don’t think we have a poison and electric type... I don’t think we have a fairy ice type Alolan nine tails and Toxtricity: *loads shotgun* AM I A JOKE TO YOU
@@originaluseername memes don’t die it just comes to a point they can’t just be used in unfunny ways and thousands will laugh you will actually have to be funny when using that meme
I mean theres already a good bunch of dark skinned pokemon characters (and i think dark skin options in newer games?). Im more interested in an actual pokemon region based on Africa’s rich cultures and geography
@@timurtheking It's nowhere close to the amount of Asian and European influence pokemon has in the games. 4 regions are based on japan while 3 are based on European civilizations with token brown characters like Iris for example despite America being a "melting pot". The brown skin character customization was a good change. But that's all it is. It's nice to see actual black people being represented along with a culture. This is a very good change of pace utilizing many animals Africa has to offer as well. If anything Africa makes for a more ideal pokemon game considering the great outdoors in the actual wild catching pokemon and having an adventure.
@@TheRoyalPharaoh23 I mean i literally said Im interested and want an actual region based on africa in someway since it has many unique cultuures and animals
@@timurtheking I know i was just agreeing with you. However, I only now realize it may not have come off that way. Sorry, didn't want to give the impression I was attacking you.
^^ I'd use/get Coalbra, Thothesis, Roarschach, Basphinx, Nightmarach ( huge credit to the creator for managing to create a spider pokemon I would actually want to catch XD ), maybe Junglide, Male Peashock, maybe Croconile, possibly Warrboar, Zapelle, Frigilyph, maybe Combadge, Bombardillo, maybe Dasstone, Ferocish, Roylure, Pyriosa, Shivet, maybe Iciquil, Dimenphin, Vesshark, possibly Chromeleon, Majestekh, Thundah, possibly Becomoth, Akereign, Spinozier, Pharachu, Mummeon, Anubrios, maybe Lewekan Persian, possibly Lewekan Arcanine, Lewekan Tauros, Lewekan Bouffalant, maybe Lewekan Dewgong, Lewekan Noctowl and Dunboros. I think that's a record in how many fakemons that has caught my eye in one region =P XD
This video popped up on my feed and I gotta say I love this fan game idea! The pokemon are awesome and the trainer designs you showed are really cool too!
Haha, Combadge is a literal honey badger! This is a fantastic fakedex. I was curious how Ice-types would be handled in an African region, and the choices made here are awesome.
These are incredible naming-conventions and visual designs even compared to the official monsters. A newcomer would not be able to tell they were fakemon.
thundah could literally have a dex entry like "this pokemon can run at extreme speeds and it runs faster it reaches the speed of lightning and it leaves trails of fire behind it" idrk
Got this video as a recommendation from a friend and I gotta say, dude you are epic!! 😂 You're hilarious and your vibe is infecious man!! INSTANT subscribe 👍
