Fans attempt to “fix” Dragonite and Conkeldurr plus other Pokemon designs! 

That is just machoke

but with a warrant out for it

Bro that be lookin like a golem from clash of clans 🥱🥱🥱💀💀

its looks like a diglett out of dirt. the brown skin and big red clown nose does it for me. 🤡

Can I get Machamp with no arms and lips

I didn’t even know it had circles on its head. I just thought, “2 circular, glowing objects are inside A jet black screen, those must be its eyes.”.

Cradilys fake eyes on the top of its head are fake eyes like actaul animals in the real world use as self defence so removing them is just stupid.

​@kartorrent7496 both it and Armaldonhave fake eyes

Well technically male Lanturn shouldn't, since angrlir fish males don't have the lure.

@@rippeebryer well, to be fair, male anglerfish are just living testicles

He looks so disgusting at the end too...

Make Conkeldurr a Potato

If it were me id get rid of him entirely he seriously gives me the creeps💀💀

@@smuglumine9379I understand that more than I understand wanting to change Conkeldurr.

That means they were already naked

Rare redesign W

I sorta enjoyed the small tail cause it made it look LESS like just a sauropod, but I do think the long one is nice.

Have to admit, whoever made that comment about the tail really had an eye for detail.

​I'm a Chikorita fan and honestly I'd love for mega Meganium in Legends ZA to have that longer tail.

@@katherinesmallbean3594This! The lil tail nub is cute imo

Even other Pokemon have done it. Case in point, Bellibolt. The big eyes on the side are fake.

@@Mobtrapper-hq8is Honestly, I don’t know why I’m still surprised at this point. Pokemon fans regularly show themselves to have a total lack of understanding of basic design philosophy

@@Dr_Mortis_SCP yea FR. I mean, Voltorb is a new (or at least, new at the time) and inventive take on the classic monster idea of a mimic, designed to more easily fool trainers, rather than D&D-esc explorers, but people will just look at it and say “boring ball, F-tier.”

@@Dr_Mortis_SCPfr they don’t understand that about all designs past gen 2 are good designs they have design bases and concepts you can’t just remove a concept because it doesn’t look great

Like the Basilisk in Dark Souls.

Ah fimally, naked old man as pokingmon

@@isaacnelson4503 pokingmon

“Hey, can you get rid of Lickitung’s tongue? It’s too gross looking”

Those features that stand out are the whole reason a pokemon is unique lmao, stated by the designers themselves

as soon as we hit Cradily this was my exact thought rofl

Yeah it bugs me too

@@dominichartzen683 especially when they don't even bother to replace it with anything new. It just leaves the pokemon looking like it's missing something.

I believe they made the conkeldurr look like that on purpose, but some people really do think stuff like that is better. plus, YOU CAN'T FIX DRAGONITE CAUSE HE'S FOKIN *PERFECT*

​@@RuLo0803he a big ol chucky dragon that likes giving hugs, he a goob boi

@@iateabigmac6978 My favourite dragon type since gen 1 "for obvious reasons" up until now

Obviously pokemon wouldn’t REMOVE dragonite! We just want a split evo..a second more serpentine choice

I mean just making a split evo dependent on whether you're on land or water would work

"Chandelure is too object-like mAkE iT mOrE hUmAnOiD"

​@akenohononiku916 as soon as u said object my brain said object show reference 😭

​@@akenohononiku916 becomes rilex lenov* ok. humanoid chandelure done

@@akenohononiku916 humanoi chandelure is just ceruledge

​@@Ztxrii_osc I HATE object show references

Hey, that's what I said!

I was going to say the same thing as well. I guess great minds think alike.

Red mane and stuff with ash-gray fur is really neat.

that's not how shinies work

I feel like if flareon came in a more recent game it wouldve looked like that

Poor guy didnt deserve this

that's just a slaking that stood up

*OI!*

Conkeldurr has done dirty, dude got naked

Nah thats my uncle jeff

Out of all the things to fix for Cradily they chose its spots. Yeah ok

​@@zackxeno1019 Yeah, I'd go with the weird nub legs. Feels like it should be dug into the ground like Diglet or have them taper down like tentacles/roots

@@RorikH honestly not a bad idea

​@@RorikHI mean it DOES learn Ingrain. Ingrain and Leech Seed makes it a regenerating tank... If it had better defenses. Zamazenta wishes it had as good recovery

they made cradily BALD

Agreed! Right up there with Luigi's death stare in Mario Kart

They could make that it’s Special Move animation.

The eyes are so unique, especially for an early gen pokemon. Changing it makes 0 sense imo, it's the best feature.

sounds like a gag in early pokemon seasons

Perfect animation for Mean Stare.

The pupil looked pretty cool but removing the eye spots was dumb

I can imagine some trolls would do it on purpose. 😅

They are.

Straight up!

yk i hate how the comments of these talk about the one or two bad ones and not the other great ones tbh

@@m4rcyonstation93Just in this video, there’s only one change I’d call an improvement (meganium’s longer tail). Everything else is cool but unfit for the Pokémon at best; literally taking away everything interesting about a Pokémon at worst.

@@user-xw7zk3tj7f I think the longer arms krook and the cosmos X are awesome. Flareon is a cool concept. And I think if Dragonite came out as that redesign nobody would bat an eye (maybe that's just me being a sucker for that kind of dragon though. Dunseraph is one of my favorite fakemon)

@@m4rcyonstation93i like how, in an effort to disprove you, he precisely proved your point by ignoring all the good redesigns 💀

Fr. I agree with you Cradily

Username checks out. Also, I totally agree.

Your pfp makes me realize how funny cradily looks like from the front. Now I like it even more

Also, the tufts already look like flames anyway. Why does he need to literally be on fire? It just overcomplicates his design and makes him less cuddly.

Not to mention it doesn't match at all with the rest of the eeveelutions. Their basic body shape and colors give across the point of their typing without actually putting it on them

​@@dellybird5394 Because how am I supposed to know if it's fire type if it isn't literally on fire? /S

i genuinely agree

Agree

Or the next regional form with a cool dual typing

Same. I was always so disappointed with Dragonite’s final form. It had this elegant look of Asian style dragons that all of a sudden exploded into Barney the dinosaur. I don’t care that it was supposed to resemble Western dragons, it looks kinda bleh. Charizard was a waay cooler look for Western dragons.

@@kristinahuchison2511should have just given charizard the dragon typing and made a propper evolution for dragonite instead of what we got. Personaly I’ve never liked the design of dragonite, nothing of it fits tbh

...new forms idea just dropped, people

I agree, but flareon is the fluffiest, so original has to stay, and this can be a mega or something

Honestly the only eeveelution that needs changing is Vaporeon. Why is it part fish when they could have made it a blue bubble eevee?

Only complain I personally have in the 1st fix is that both shades of orange look kinda the same, I definitely like the 2nd one more.

This would probably be better than removing them, let's be honest, he just looks like a blob without them

And remove that stupid grey soul patch goatie

You are a man of culture

*Mega Conkeldurr!*

Yes. I probably still wouldn’t like it normally like this, but that’s the one thing that holds the shiny form back.

Just get rid of Bruxish entirely

​@@gogetablue942nooooo i like him, he's fabulous 😭😭😭😭

...Why, exactly?

Or if it could set itself on fire

@@KKHellprobably to go along with the theme of eevee’s unstable dna or whatever it has going on.

@@Miraphes The fuck would Espeon and Sylveon be if all of the eeveelutions had the copypasta one's ability to literally become the element then?

​@@KKHellespeon can transcend it's fisical form and become a incomprehensible being of pure phsiquic energy, espeon becomes an estrogen pill.

It doesn’t need to be goofy. If dragonites regular design wasn’t, I doubt it would feel necessary. Nothing about Dratini or dragonair sets up a goofy final evo in the slightest (as opposed to the goodra line, for example). I think a mon going for a majestic/mysterious look like the redesign makes way more sense coming from dragonair personally, it’s just jarring change being so radically different from regular dragonite

@@JacobPDeIiNoNi nah, I love the goofyness personally. It's a personal preference

@@plebulusI like it too, Im not saying dragonite isn’t likeable for its goofiness, just that it isn’t strictly necessary. If that quality had never existed in its original design, it wouldn’t feel like it was missing.

@@JacobPDeIiNoNi not all things in a design need to be necessary, but I do really like that aspect, plus this was a redesign of dragonite, not a new evolution for dragonair. So it should still at heart be dragonite

@@plebulus You know, that’s fair. Since it is a redesign I understand wanting it to be closer to the original. I just think that aspect of dragonites design isn’t very important to the line as a whole, which giving dragonair a more fitting evolution seemed to be the main request posed by the comment, a request I think the design fulfilled. However if it were to feel like an actual dragonite re-design rather than its own thing it would need to be closer to the original’s charm and silliness to some extent.

I’m personally more intrigued at where the mouth is

​@@Mobtrapper-hq8isit's a plant.

@@adrianmcbride1666 ah got it.

​@@adrianmcbride1666 to be fair, being a plant doesn't even stop irl plants from having mouths, let alone in pokemon

@@patrickhector irl plants don't really have mouths though, and it isn't a necessity for plant pokemon to have mouths unlike animal pokemon.

Just because something is different doesn’t mean it’s good. Dragonite does look wildly different from its pre evolutions, but that doesn’t make it more creative. If anything it’s way less interesting than dragonair. Wanting an evolution to resemble its line one a fundamental level is a simple criticism but it’s not a bad one. Dragonite barely registers as part of the same line, it’s supposed to look somewhat different because of its origins but there are more elegant ways of doing that (see magikarp and gyarados.) And yes, just adding some fire to an animals body is a really uncreative way to make a fire type. An uncreative way that gamefreak also did multiple times throughout gens 1-2 (moltres, charizard line, typhlosion line). I suppose they all just copied rapidash as well? No. It turns out fire is just a good way of making something more clearly fire type. The cyndaquil and cradily ones are very dumb though I agree. But the others while uncreative have a valid criticism behind them.

​​@@JacobPDeIiNoNiBut making Flareon's fur literal fire voids one of Flareon's Pokedex entries. So while yes, it's a good way to denote fire types, it's not something to do to every fire type.

@@adoramay9410 I didn't know of that pokedex entry, but I looked it up and that's actually a really cool detail. I never thought that fire was the best way to make a fire type anyway, just pointing out that pokemon does it a bunch so it's weird to get mad at fans for it. But there are certainly better alternatives.

@@JacobPDeIiNoNi That's fair. I'm in no way against using fire in the designs of Pokémon. I just hear that complaint about Pokémon designs all the time and in many cases it would be a stupid design choice. "Ninetales needs fire" or "Flareon needs fire" etc. whereas both would be dumb design choices. But yeah, I get that Pokémon having fire isn't something fans should complain about either. It works sometimes. It's the bipedal vs not bipedal thing all over again, I guess.

They were supposed to cook, not commit arson

honestly like half of the ones in tthis episode were great imo-

​@@m4rcyonstation93not really, two were meh(Cosmog and Krookodile), three were terrible(Conkeldurr, Cyndaquil and Cradily) and one makes no sense given it's Pokedex(Flareon).

@@adoramay9410 tbf thats subjective. IMO, cosmog is nice and krookodile is so much better, and flareon is a really neat idea if the dex was redesigned for it. (preferably jolteon too) those three did suck bingle tho

@@m4rcyonstation93 The problem is that we can't go back in time and rewrite Flareon's Pokedex for Silver, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Soul Silver, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, and Violet. So even if Game Freak retconned Flareon in the next game, those old games are still going to cause a continuity error. The only way to make it make sense is to have it be a regional form of Flareon. I really don't like the redesign of Cosmog, and I don't know if I would even notice that change to Krookodile.

No

@@adrianmcbride1666 you're just worried you'd be attracted to it. It might look cool but idk how it could have little pokemon living on it's back if it did

Would lose the charm imo

@@HazeEmry no, I don't want a walking habitat to be essentially forced to exist sideways. If I had a chance of liking it, I would be all for it's creation. I do;VT say no to the creation of things I could like.

Maybe for a mega evolution. But making Torterra bipedal defeats the purpose of its design. You know, turtle with world on it's back thing.

Yeah i probably would prefer it like that, also is that cobalt drake?

@@Randomtheeng yes, with my Minecraft skin in place of the motif. Glad to see I’m not the only Beyblade fan here.
