Really happy about the fact that Brandon referred to Hinduism as "Hinduism" rather than "Hindu Mythology". His respect for communities is really admirable 🗿

I love that you didn’t mention that Hangar is also a place where planes are stored on a runway. In all seriousness, I love this little Aerial Ape.

As a proud Indian, my years of region planning has been killed by this video 😭 good job man :D

so honored to be included as a VA in this video 💛 the pokémon look incredible and you can tell just how much research you’ve done to create this region. amazing job, brandon!!

There seems to be a theme of spirits, with the professors, evil team, rival and gimmick all connecting to religion, spirits and other magical things

I would like to make a suggestion for Devhar's gimmick (if you haven't already made one), that being Avatar Forms, basically pokemon that are blessed by legendaries and mythicals with their power, since India is where Avatars were created

As a person from south India(kerala). I really want to see if you included landmarks such as the jadayu para or the padhmanabha swami temple. These are incredible peices of architecture and culture of India i hope you include them in your region. But so far the Devhar region looks Amazing!

As an Indian and long time pokemon fan, I never even imagined this level of excellence and fun in India based region. Love the workk, and respect you have for the culture.

Man you've done your research And maybe pissed of a few people But as a hindu myself I don't mind it Its a fan game afterall You are allowed some artistic liberties

Dholes are scary man, they can take down tigers if they wanted to.

Huepid and Chromantic are INCREDIBLE names, oh my goodness!

The team fate grunts look awfully similar to Essentia/Emma from X and Y, very curious if there’s a connection there or if its just a coincidence Also, the Huepid line are flawless, some of my favourite pokemon from this channel

I love how unique the rivals are!! PragMagik is a true genius

Team Fate's appearance reminds of Ghetsis's speech in Striaton City. Maybe the story will be similar to Pokemon BW. You don't know how much I love Generation 5. Now my team is Gaiox, Homreign and Amangrel.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; your idea creation has really stepped up a notch and I am here for it! Love all of these designs

Chromantic line is fantastic!! You got some incredible new designs and lines here, I’m in love with most of them, so excited to make my team for Devhar!

Ok. I’ll admit Chromantic is a name that should be official. The name and the ‘Mon is so good

How about a Revavroom of every type, based on different types of vehicles. Fire could be a train, grass could be a tractor, etc. Also at 12:28 that's the name of the Pokémon Infinity evil team lol 😅

Great video! One think i could comment on is the naming of you Pokemon. Most of them are great, if not all, but to truly represent the diversity of India it'll be appreciated if languages other than Hindi be looked at when it comes to inspiring Pokemon names. Less than half of India's population speaks Hindi as their first language, and India's other vibrant languages such as Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Odia, Kannada, Malayalam, etc should get some representation. Keep up the great work!

My predictions for the plot. Their would be 3 story lines like scarlet and violet. Parina would want you to help her explore some of the folklores and battle some legend pokemon around the region. And use their herbs and turn them into curry. Their would be 5 team fate boss you have to battle and team fate is not the main evil team and is trying to do something good, and there would be a much bigger evil team in the story. Victory road where you battle the (12?!) gym leaders. My predictions for one is your mom since your dad says to make your mom proud.(kinda like norman) Your rivel Kumar would try to cheat and then he gets expelled.(kinda like bede) Bro made an open world game thats like scarlet and violet before it was announced and the simularities in character makes it feel better!

Absolutely love the creativity and respect for the sources! It’s really refreshing getting such a unique take on India’s lore, culture and landscape. If I were to pretend you’re Santa and give you a wishlist (seriously it has been a gift to see your work), there are a few ideas I’d share: 1. The gimmick be something Avatar orientated. Someone had mentioned this in the comments and I loved the idea. The only addition I would make is to make use of the ideas of Astras, which are divine weapons of the gods invoked my mantras (correct me if I’m wrong). It could be a legendary per Pokémon type so each one has something to have an Astra of, although I think that’ll be hard work for you 😅. 2. For the overarching conflict, as fun as it would be to go for the cosmic scale, I would love one based on pollution. Given how important rivers are in India, having human disregard for their actions would be a compelling plot. Idk how it would relate to the legendaries but I thought it might be a cool idea. 3. Diversity - India is such a diverse place and it would be a near impossible ask to have you represent everyone. But I would love even the smallest references to the plethora of beliefs, iconography and peoples of India. I don’t expect you or anyone to read this, much less like this or take it on board. I just hope that by sharing my own love of this idea, I might help reaffirm the love of others for this brilliant project.

I have a theory about the story of the region That guy at 6:38 is saying a lot of stuff about being disqualified like “doing this and doing that gets you disqualified” so I think someone, probably a rival character, is gonna do something that violates those rules foreshadowing is cool so that’s what I think

Wow really well researched and great execution of the concepts. I really love the Hangur line, the Infernape line has some inspiration to Hanuman as well and its my favourite pokemon, Hangur is so cute.

He forgot about Lily pads for Padmaya. Fun fact the Greek version of Cupid is named Eros.

Absolutely love Ghargoyle!

I can confidently say you've done us Indians proud with this region. The research you've put it into this is amazing!

you should make mythicals or legendaries base on shiva and rudra mythology wise and record of ragnarok as well another idea pop in my head is a psuedo legendary base on navagunjara

I felt like being in a Pokémon arc myself. Anyway, Zorneo next? It's based on my country, and I guarantee you a sub when it's done. :D

This was really incredible,the research and work are very thorough and awesome,I am looking forward to Devhar region.

love the gharial you should do a video about crocodile of every type

I'm from India so I really like this region, Thanks!

I am an Indian and i have been watching pokemon since my childhood. I really admire the way you represented our culture in the pokemon Universe, respect man

Dang you really are fleshing out this region well. Out of interest have you thought of the special gimmick or whatever you would consider your Gigantimaxes, Megaevolutions, Z moves, etc. and are you going to make up a legendary for the region as well?

This is sick, holy. Your attention to detail is very admirable.

it's amazing how well you have researched and every detail you dwelve into has me in goosebumps. Kudos to you.

You got it really right my family would love this

I have been waiting for this video for WEEKS! 😍 Hoping that the next video will come out even earlier.

If this region includes regional variants I'd love to see a regional Copperajah that is more associated with deities

I am really glad that you are continuing this series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🌠

Was Eagerly waiting for this video 🔥❣️ Thanks for considering the Indian Subcontinent as Region in Pokemon

Please also make a fakemon based on the Indian Bengal Tiger. 🐯

The amount of hardwork he put into this is commendable... Keep going, eager to see the gym leaders and champion of this region!

I loved your art! It's so detailed.

Being Indian I got so happy when I saw the first vid and this one like all the others is amazing! Also holi is pronounced hul y .

Absolutely love all the designs!

Your level of research is insane. Amazing job!

Yooow~! I loved all the pokemon on this video! I would catch all and add to me team, beside Bulbeauty, i still prefer Bellsprout. I like his weird antropomorphific look.🙃 And big considence, i as playing here in my house has a rock crocodile before seeing this video, isn't it funny? Anyways, i can't wait to see our first encounter with the wild area. Prepair to complete your teams folks!

Man, indian culture and aesthetics always get me and seeing them translated into the Pokemon style makes me so happy! I wish there were a game like this.

Amangrel just reminds me of Looney Tunes' Tasmanian Devil.

The Pokémon krookodile is also a gharial and it's Japanese name is evil gharial when translate to English

Are you going to include Regional forms and also convergent evolutions like in gen 9? I would love to see that.

This region takes so many aspects of the region I was working on. ❤ love it. The gyms at anytime and pokemon team being chosen based on the badges you have, a non linear story, gender nonconforming customization, and even an antelope starter (although mine was fire). I love your videos and regions. So detailed and inspiring

Amazing work!!! I actually love this video but I have 2 things I like to add to this region: 1) You could change the trainers qualification exam from once in a lifetime like thing to something that happens annually. 2) Can Gharock have some physical difference between the genders of gharock since male gharials in real life have the structure on their nose while females do not.

The amount of research you did is amazing

Really Great video ! I am From India, and I really appreciate this thread of videos !

Loved it man ❤😊

I love the story and how how much variety there is and how the culture is actually being brought into the story it's so amazing to listen to this and whenever I see the three trainers that we could pick I immediately think siblings these three are siblings the battle of the same rival together

Your pokemon designs are always so creative, I'd happily add a Hangar to my team

I love this region so much! I’d find it very hard to select a team of just 6.

A regional pokemon form idea while watching this vid midway was Gardevoir as a "dancer" (Belly dancer). And regarding this ideas design, I thought a Gardevoir with legs similar to Gallade coud work for it, instead of a dress,. And Gallade maybe could have a form were it have a blade similar to a Scimitar sword.

awesome! I love it and i am honoured as an Indian that you spent a lot of your time on building this region. Also could you please add a gimmic to this region (like gigantamaxing or mega evolving not exactly but simmilar) that would be cool

Do you plan to make a regional variant of Honedge, Doublade, and Aegislash? There's a lot you can do since there are many kinds of Indian swords like the urumi and katar. The urumi could be more of an option since it's possible when not in use to wear it like a belt.

I think you should make a Tiger pokemon and a regional Copperajah, considering it's an Indian pokemon in itself, but make a normal type that is the original copperajah. Fun fact, mugger is a species of Indian swamp crocodile, the Gharial, but is used to describe saltwater, estuarine, and Ganga crocodiles

Hope y’all are doing good

Sir please make a legendary trio and a mythical duo for this region pleaseeeeeeeee

Love this. Huepid could have Decidueye's two signature moves and maybe add another of its own. Divine Arrow, perhaps?

Happy to see Indian region...and hats off to your research and creativity...try using peacock as its found in India and its national bird as well

Don't worry about the pronunciation of the region's name, we Americans pronounce Galar wrong even though we speak English lol

I Hope In The Next Video On The Devar Region We Hope We See A New Pansage Fakemon It Wuld Fit Perfectly To Pansage Pansear And Panpour

So scrappup was a teaser to this reigion very clever

Brandon's ideas + fakemon artist's = AMAZING NEW POKEMON 🤩

Padmaya's a candidate for my team, as I usually use one Fairy type, and at least one Grass attack on one of my Pokemon to deal with Water/Ground types. Either Wrestlangur or Amangrel could be my Fighting type, depending on what else I use on my team.

Maybe you could make a pokemon based on a tiger or a peafowl in the future. The designs are absolutely great btw.

3:58 kama the lord of beauty krsna was so good looking that kama fainted after looking at him that's why Krishna is called madan mohan जय श्री कृष्ण❤️

You speak so fast it’s honestly impressive

I love your video All praise from India So so accurate and loved all the names of pokemon Keep it up❤❤ 🇮🇳

I really like the concept of using a bindi like mark on the forehead of padmaya. I would definitely like to see it as the ace of the possible grass gym leader,just like we saw in case of Gardenia

Maia is also the name of a greco-roman goddess of spring and flowers, which also works well with Padmaya I think~ Also fun fact, the original gargoyles, the french gargouille, were actually water dragons! So turning an aquatic creature into a rock and dragon type based on gargoyles is so incredible!

Thank you for this video PragMagik to me this is respect cause i live in India

I could imagine hamoyan flying in his tail like a magic carpet in alladin, it's just the first thing that I thought of

You really reashered well I as an Indian am impressed....I Subscribed 😊

I love Gharock. I want that little stony crocodilian on my team now, I don't care if this isn't a real game.

Sooooo excited for this

4:23 🎶 A hopeless Chromantic all my life, surrounded by couples all the time

Damn, Ghargoyle is really the badass pokemon that I must have on my team, and the pokemon based on Lord Rama is majestic af

I like that you are making videos on a region based on my country.Hope gamefreak does this too..

Love the research..... looking forward to this series more n more with each episode... Almost all pronunciations were good Small note... the 2 'g' s in ganga are pronounced in the same way... i.e its ganga not ganja... Ps. Ganja means bald and ganga is our holy river

As a Indian this is so cool. All the pokemon and folklore are correct

I see a Pokémon with a bow or archer motif and I love it, make the arrow a prismatic light arrow with a spade tip and I love it even more! Also I really like Hangur being a flying type but not being based on a bird, with playing more into the wind elemental side of the typing.

All of these fakemon were absolutely awesome! Well done. My only complaint is that the lotus one doesn't have a 3rd stage.

One minor thing is that before western influence, conferences were done in a half circle and ment to be more of a conversation then a monologue. Minor but would be very cool to include for the conference.

I wonder if the main Legendary Pokémon are going to be based on the Trimurti, the three main gods of Hinduism, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. I think that would be cool.

Hangar bout to say "Third Arm Sash!"

10:00 Core memory unlocked

Loved it❤

Dude u made my home a winter based place and I am literally sweating it never snows here I am not complaining but it's funny

10:54 he makes me thing of scrappy from scooby doo

It would be awesome to see more Pokémon based of the Ramayana, I think a khumbakarna based mom would be awesome. Maybe fighting/ground referencing his strength, the mountain named after him and the elephant stampede that woke him up.

I guess a machamp regional form would be incredible. Because his design looks like some hindu gods.
