I made AI create a Pokémon Region 

The fact that chatGPT made a rival called Kiran, who starts out nice and gets meaner throughout the story, is such a coincidence as a character with the same name and personality just dropped.

Even AI cannot resist the urge to make Fire/Fighting types

THIS NEEDS TO BE A GAME, I would play the hell out of it. The side quests at the end grabbed my attention along with the new forms.

This is absolutely astounding. It is incredibly original (to my eyes at least) and sounds (and looks) incredible. As for the Zeraora gym, it could be like a Souls game where if you defeat the rest of his Pokémon and lose to Zeraora you still get the badge and a quote that goes like "this is the world out there and I just wanted to show you, but you fared extremely well!" or something.

I like how polite Mikey is to the AI.

I like how Mickey totally forgot to make new legendary, mythical and pseudo-legendary pokemons.

I absolutely love this. What if all gyms had a beginner, intermediate, and advanced level? You can beat them in any order and still have the duffuculty level match up. Maybe even make them re-challengeable so you could experience all versions (and add a fun, less repetitive way to grind).

I recently tried this out myself and got the Aurorica region, a mesh of Canadian, Italian and Cuban landscapes. The starters are Pyroval, a fire-flying type pheonix, Aquamoss, a water-ground type manatee, and Florastag, a grass-psychic type deer. I have 5 regional variants, 10 new pokemon, 3 legendaries, the evil team, etc. I have yet to finish everything however, but this video really inspired me in making Aurorica into a fanmade region and to finish the rest of Aurorica.

That water starter looked phenomenal. Props to the artist, especially with the 2nd and 3rd form

Dahlia is a existing leader, being a Frontier Brain, but it would be amazing if Indigoa was her home region, and she could mention that she came home to be a Gym Leader after the Battle Frontier shut down!

2 minutes in and everyone's favorite steel type gym leader has gotten herself a degree. Good for her man.

"We are NOT making another hot Pokémon!" Idk, we kinda need one that's chonky 😂

You know, having an Elite Four member as a twist villain would actually be pretty sick. And would overall just provide an opportunity for the Elite Four to have a representation outside the league instead of just the champion.

Would love to see the legendaries and pseudo-legandaries for this region. Maybe a part 2? Could also be neat to use human intelligence to polish it up a bit, just using the AI as a base.

There's a couple things that could be touched up with this for sure. Like maybe making Nyx the champion of the region for a even bigger twist showing us strictly why the Elite Four don't step in to fight her because they know they can't but otherwise I love most of the stuff it made up. Except the Zeraora in the first gym.

I tried this too, and got a similar problem that Michael got in this video: the AI said Pokémon that already have regional forms when I asked for regional forms, and one of them was Sneasel, which the AI gave a description that looked a lot like it's regional evolution, sneasler

Ellie deserves a bonus for all of the excellent art that was done for this video. Top three favorites were Luxray, Shedinja, and Flygon, with Florodon as my favorite brand new Mon. This was such a fun video, all around. Thank you, Mikey!

we need Mikey to pay a modder/ROM hack maker to make this region

I am honestly loving this new game. I also love that we're bringing back the Giovanni thing after a while, though you switching out Aurora wasn't actually needed. They could have been just pulling a Larry and working overtime and just changed their type from their gym. I headcannon that they're possibly related to one of the previous ice gym leaders (probably Grusha; they don't like to talk about their family much) and that they're pen pals with Larry, writing whenever they have free time. Also, what are the legendaries? Like the ones you potentially encounter in the late-game legendary quests or the one that Team Nocturne steals? Is Midnightra one of the legendaries? Is it a Psedu? Wait, are there new Psedus? I have too many questions.

This sounds as an amazing adventure I would definetely play. I just wanted to know how the psuedo legendary of the region would be, Mikey forgot to ask Chat gpt about it, but with what it described and a few more new pokemon, this would be an accurate pokemon fan game

I love how tangrowths dex entry implies that there are a few vineyards likely dying out in Indigoa, as it specifies between vineyards and lush vineyards

Its so funny that the AI latterly made Kieran without even knowing he exists yet. It basically made the opposite version of him where Kiran means "beam of sunlight" and Kieran means "child of darkness" and with the fact that Kiran sort has a nice fun relationship with you like true friends who taunt each other and Kieran starts to despise you near the end. I honestly find that crazy and im now convinced AI can predict the future in some kind of way.

ChatGpt: Professer Jasmine in Saffronville. Me: Im a professer in Saffronville now!

You forgot to ask ChatGPT to create legendary Pokémon for the region, and a mythical Pokémon.

As someone who lives in India I see this as a complete win with Mandjtv’s approval.

We need team sky to take over this region

For the people who want to try this: I would like a new Pokémon region. The first thing we must decide is what real-world location the region will be based on. Please tell me what real-world country, region, or area the new region should be based on along with the new region's name. It cannot be based on anywhere in Japan, New York, France, Hawaii, Great Britain, Spain, or India. Next, we need the name of the town the player starts in, along with the resident professor. Please tell me the town's name and the name of the professor. The professor should be named after a plant. Next, please tell me the three starter Pokémon professor (place name here) will give out to new trainers. There should be one Grass type, one Fire type, and one Water type Pokémon. Please tell me about (Grass starter name here), (Fire starter name here), and (Water starter name here)'s evolved forms. Like all starter Pokémon, they should evolve once, then evolve again, so each Pokémon should have a middle and final stage evolution. Do (Grass starter final form name here), (Fire starter final form name here), and (Water starter final form name here) gain any secondary typing? If so, what are they? Next, we need the player's rival. Will this rival be friendly, like Hau or Hop? Or will they be rude and taunting, Like Blue? What will this rival's name be? The Pokémon found in this region will almost entirely be existing Pokémon, but some of those existing Pokémon will get new forms. Please give me ten Pokémon that will get new forms, along with physical descriptions and typing of the new forms. The Pokémon should be selected from multiple generations, and no Pokémon that already has a new form should be chosen. (If you want new ones) The new forms for (whatever Pokémon) are great. However, (whatever Pokémon) already have alternate forms / evolution. Please offer 5 different Pokémon to give new forms to, and do not have to be fully evolved. Next, could you give five existing Pokémon with a completely different typing than their previous forms? (if you can be more specific, do so since it doesn't always work) We now need to decide the evolutions for some of these new forms. Does (whatever Pokémon) evolve into (whatever Pokémon) or does it evolve into a completely different Pokémon? Whichever you pick, describe it to me. (do this for each one. For 2 evolutions, ask it to do so) We now need to describe which new forms will get new evolutions. Please choose which of the following new forms will get new evolutions: (list them here) Please describe the new evolutions of (whatever the AI chose) Lets give some new evolutions to Pokémon that won't get new forms. Please give me three Pokémon, selected from various generations, that should get new evolutions and what those evolutions would be look like. What is the battle gimmick? Previous examples include Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, and Dynamax. Our Pokémon region needs Pokémon gym leaders. Who are the eight gym leaders, and what are their type specialties? They are only allowed to use one Pokémon type and aren't allowed to use the starter pokemon. What are each of these gym leader's strongest Pokémon? These Pokémon may be selected from any generation and can be some of the new forms or evolutions discussed earlier in this conversation. I do not want you to create new Pokémon for them. I want their strongest Pokémon to either be real Pokémon or Pokémon discussed earlier in this conversation. What will the evil team in (region name) be? What is their name, their outfit, and their goal? Also what Pokémon do they like to use? Who is Team (evil team name here)'s Leader and what is their strongest Pokémon? This Pokémon has to already exist or be one we discussed earlier. Finally, we need the champion. Who is the champion? What are they like? And what team of six Pokémon do they use? They can have Pokémon discussed previously in the conversation or existing Pokémon we haven't talked about. What would you like to add to the region that we haven't already discussed? You're Welcome

9:14 Kiran. Totally not Kieran.

This actually sounds pretty banger overall. Not saying you should commission a bunch of people to make this AI generated Pokémon game -but you should totally do that-

The longer this goes on, the more it showcases AI's current limitations

22:02 "Megas are dead" Sure, buddy. Sure. Check the news, cause MEGAS ARE BACK BABYYYYYYYYY

This was amazing! Please make more content like this! Of course, I would like to see more input from your part instead of the premise of the video being ONLY AI, because it is not great on its own, but is amazing as a tool or an assistant.

The art was immaculate in this! I’m Indian and would pick the water starter in a heartbeat, even though I’ve always loved my grass-type starters!

The fact that the ai made the leader of a team that wants eternal night have the same name as the Greek deity whose dress is literally the night sky, is amazing.

HOL UP WAIT A MINUTE! Kiran, the rival, is pronounced same as the rival from Kitakami, Kieran. And the description matches him, he’s kind at 1st but then he gets more insane, possibly causing him to be rude in the 2nd part of scarlet and violet dlc!

Mandjtv, I love your videos! They are fun, silly, and you have a great editor! You two (and your friends) keep up the great work! 👍

Ellie did a great job with the art. Most of the descriptions are so loose that they really did a lot of heavy lifting. Would love to see more of their art if they do anything outside of this. I especially like the Coralith line, which they did a great job at distinguishing the stages. I feel like a different artist using the same prompts might have kept them all looking very similar, just bigger from stage to stage.

I could see the first gym leader being battle twice before being given a badge. His normal team, then his Zeraora alone. It could be a challenge like Korinna's Mega Lucario battle where you receive a Zeraora. It battles the Zeraora then goes back to it's Pokeball because it wants you to mature, coming out for moments of bonding or protection until a certain gym where it joins you completely.

Great concept and impressive work on the art, Ellie!

mikey: make new and cool things chatgpt hears: "Larger and more muscular!!!"

Titancrush’s signature move would totally be a buff af version of shell smash! The art in this episode SLAPS

I would have laughed to death had the AI given him a Drowsy variant

This was so much fun! I would totally visit the region if I could. Great job on the drawings too! I wish you added a recap at the end with the illustrations or something.

Can we just take a second to admire the art for the Pokémon in this video??

Well, we ended up getting Kieran, a friendly rival who (spoilers ahead) gets meaner and far more competitive throughout the story, however Kieran seems to be going sort of insane at the ending of the main story

This should be made into a fangame immediately!

This was actually incredibly captivating! I’d love to see a series of these videos! Props to your artist as well!

this is just hidden treasure of area zero: kiran is like kieran (besides the name) in where they start friendly but become more competitive overall. indigio sounds like indigo disk, indigio being directly based on the word indigo, and these are a couple of examples on how this ai predicted teal mask + indigo disk

I'm a bit sad we didn't get to see the Legendaries of the game. Maybe a Part 2 can be arranged? 👀

The fact that he just says “we do not need to dive further” the moment he gets to the ‘complicated stuff’

The twist at the end is great! They'll never see it coming! I also love the idea of trials. I would love this to be an actual game!

Mikey, If this doesn’t become a game I will hunt you down and then go make it.

I learned a lot about AI today. Mainly how weirdly obsessed it is with oases.

You should definitely commission someone to make this into a romhack/fan game it has huge potential.

22:02 “ megas are dead” if only he knew 😂

I used Chat GPT to create my own Pokémon region idea like this while I listened to your video. It gave me a region based in Egypt and so far it’s pretty cool.

Every illustration 3:23 Vinybloom 4:13 Coralith 4:40 Blazeflare 5:27 Floravine 5:40 Arbormist 5:54 Inferlion 6:12 Pyrothorn 6:29 Aquarock 6:46 Mariscale 11:11 Luxray Coastal form 11:52 Golduck Monsoon form 12:09 Flygon Oasis form 12:54 Tangrowth Vineyard form 13:18 Shedinja Ruins form 14:59 Drifloon Breeze form 15:17 Misdreavous Lantern form 15:37 Phanpy Oasis form 17:17 Swanna Crystal form 17:28 Xatu Aurora form 17:47 Pinsir Obsidian form 18:45 Gustavine 20:04 Lumispirit 20:37 Donphan Oasis form 22:47 Floradon 23:33 Titancrush 23:55 Astralight 26:12 Dracorogue 26:34 Psychanther 27:55 Arboreon

I'd like to see a Part 2 of this where you take all of this information and polish it up some more using human intelligence to create the ideal Indigoa Region.

The Kieran foreshadow was crazy the description even kinda fits him

It feels like, with all the gym leaders having fully evolved pokemon, the elemental trials are the badge progression And the gym leaders are late game story relevant trainers.

I asked ChatGPT to come up with titles for main series games in this region. It first suggested Luminous Sun and Serene Moon (which honestly makes a lot of sense) but after I pointed out that Sun and Moon were already used on Gen 7 it had a couple better suggestions: - Dawn and Dusk ("Dawn signifies beginnings, adventure, and discoveries, while Dusk signifies challenges and mysteries to be faced in the region") - Agni and Varuna ("Agni represents fire, strength, power, and vigor. Varuna is associated with water, wisdom, balance, and adaptability") After this I asked ChatGPT to come up with the box art legendaries and oh man do I want to play this game now. Name: Ignistrake, the Ember Sovereign (fire/dragon type) Design: Ignistrake is a magnificent creature resembling a dragon with blazing wings and a proud, imposing stance. Its scales are reminiscent of molten lava, radiating intense heat and light. Name: Aqualith, the Ocean Sage (water/psychic type) Design: Aqualith is an elegant and graceful creature adorned with bioluminescent patterns that shimmer like the ocean's surface. It resembles a blend of an aquatic creature and a celestial being, and serves as a symbol of serenity and balance.

Would have liked to see Regional Mammal, Regional Bird, and Legendaries for Indigoa. Overall sounds like a pretty solid region. Zeraora in the "1st" gym makes me think it would need to be more of a S&V design with no set gym order. The Nyx twist was pretty solid. ChatGPT is limited, and struggled, but overall build a really diverse India-inspired Pokemon region.

I read “Vinybloom” as “Vinylboom” and thinking about that makes me realize that a vinyl record player based pokemon would be sick!

It is also funny that in the new Scarlet fire, DLC, the indigo disc, which is apparently the name of the region the attic think that’s really funny and how it mentions Kieran

I’d love to see this made into a fan game. Also, I’m surprised he didn’t ask it to make the box art legendary Pokémon for it

Shedinja ruin form is nice, it even avoids dying from sandstorm and being weak to water balances losing 2 weaknesses or maybe not.

Seems like a great time. Certainly worth a 2nd video where you resolve some of the issues. Mythical in 1st gym, but it is level 12 or has some negative equipment? Ace Pokemon that are fully evolved? This could be a 2nd encounter and their preevolution can be the gym ace. Seeing this with some proper revisions would be incredible.

I did this for myself, and I’m impressed with this response for one of the legendaries (it is based off Russia): Snowphantom (Ghost/Ice): A mysterious Pokémon that blends into snowy landscapes. Legends say it can traverse between the world of the living and the spirit realm.

Mikey: “I wish the evil team could be Team Sky, but the ai has to decide.” Ai: your wish is my command **creates a team that rips off evil future team sky**

Haven't finished the vid but the artist killed this. Loved every one.

This video was really awesome, and the art was great! You should make a part two about a DLC! I'm sure lots of people would love to hear more about Indigoa and its DLC.

20:12 some pokemon change their second type upon evolving. for example, surskit's second type is water but masquerain's second type is flying

I'd totally play a game in Indigoa. It sounds serene and beautiful to explore. Also, surprised you didn't make a mascot legendary.

I'm so proud of Jasmine. She realized that she and Amphy weren't happy running the Gym, so she did some research and became a Pokémon Professor! And in a new region on top of that!

3:01 likewise, it does not now that bdsp and legends arceus exist, as those were released in november 2021 and january 2022 respectively

Love the art it makes this even more fun. Cudos to Ellie they did a great job.

I LOVE that Coralith design. If they make this region real I’m picking that one

I'm actually suprised on the rival. SPOILER !!!!! We have Kieran now whose name is really similar. He starts out as a friendly rival but becomes more competitive and eager to win. Very interesting

I used almost the entire day watching this video over and over! It’s so good!

9:07 Like Michael and John

This is honestly pretty good! Obviously it takes a little human oversight and would need some slight edits like not using Zeraora in the first gym or repeating badge names from previous gens, but I would say that's basically the bare minimum one should do if they use ai for anything serious. Do not just use what it spits out without oversight and a coat of polish

Cufant and Copperajah are hinted to come from another region, most likely to be inspired by India because they’re based on Asian elephants. The Indigoa region should definitely have this line! Let’s have the Phanpy line in the oases and the Cufant line in cities :D

I'd shuffle the gym order around to make electric near the end, and maybe give the rock type gym a larvitar in battle and a tyranitar companion that you don't battle. And Nyx totally has both that really cool dark dragon (as the villain team leader) and the obsidian pinsir evolution (as the elite 4 member).

Arbomist with fairy typing: Hey Pyrothorn remember how you burned my garden one time? Mariscale with psychic typing: Yeah and how you boasted about being so buff? Pyrothorn with fighting typing: *cowers in fear*

Let’s just take some time to appreciate Ellie’s amazing artwork!

I would KILL to have either a Spin-off or mainline game to do something like this!! Especially with that Elite Four twist!

I missed this video when it released but this is a great idea! I attempted it myself as well, creating a region based in Canada and I have only done my Professor and starter evolution lines so far.

He forgot to ask what the box art legends would be!

It's so funny that it mentioned kieran and the personality matches up as well

The first GYM is usually like level 10-15, I don't think Zeraora is a big threat at such low level, especially if it is the only one Pokemon first GYM leader have. Besides, seeing someone in the game using mythical Pokemon is super cool. EDIT: fixed level curve according to replies.

In a separate video you should ask your artist to make shinys of all the new pokemon and show them off in a modded version of scarlet and violet.

Haha this is hilarious, I love watching Micheal argue with the A.I.

Can I just say that this is a fantastic video idea? Like genuinely. Can’t wait to watch

This was really fun to watch, I'm just a little disappointed that you didn't ask the AI to create a trio of Legendary Pokemon

I also did this challenge to create a new Pokemon, and got some pretty cool results! All I did was guide it's thought process through more specific channels, it determined the stat spread/cumulative stat total, moves, and description entirely by itself. The only things I genuinely intervened with was helping it revise the stats/ability (it had 160 for sp. atk and I was like nope), giving it a creature to work with based on what it gave me for ideas on what kind of creature it was, and tweaked the name so it didn't look like an eeveelution. I did make formatting changes to make this more readable, so it also didn't generate this all at once. Name: Aquaphlare Type: Water/Fire Ability: Elemental Fusion All water type damaging moves have a 5% chance to burn. All fire type damaging moves have a 20% chance to inflict the secondary effects of the move Whirlpool. This pokemon is immune to the frozen or burned status conditions. Description: Aquaphlare is an extraordinary Pokémon with a sleek and serpentine body. Its skin is adorned with intricate, bioluminescent patterns reminiscent of the black dragonfish, which emit a soft, eerie glow in the depths of the ocean. These patterns serve both as a form of communication and a means of hunting in dark aquatic environments. The Pokémon's body is predominantly a deep, iridescent blue, which gradually fades into shades of fiery red and orange, creating a stunning transition between its Water and Fire elements. Its dorsal fin and tailfin are elongated and resemble the wispy flames of a burning torch. Its eyes are large and luminescent, adapted to see in the darkest depths of the ocean, while the vibrant patterns on its skin intensify when it becomes excited or enters battle. Aquaphlare's unique biology allows it to harness both Water and Fire elements within its body, creating a fusion that manifests in its fiery patterns. When threatened or engaged in a battle, these patterns come to life, enveloping its body in a breathtaking display of water and fire, representing the elemental balance it embodies. As a formidable and versatile Pokémon, Aquaphlare has evolved to adapt to the challenges of its environment, combining the grace and bioluminescence of deep-sea creatures like the black dragonfish with the power and control of elemental fusion. Stats: HP: 90 Attack: 80 Defense: 90 Special Attack: 130 Special Defense: 80 Speed: 60 BST: 530 Moves: Surf Hydro Pump Water Pulse Scald Muddy Water Flamethrower Fire Blast Flame Wheel Heat Wave Lava Plume Haze Confuse Ray Will-O-Wisp Toxic Yawn Taunt Protect Safeguard Aqua Jet Thunderbolt Shadow Ball Ice Beam Energy Ball Psychic Dragon Pulse Earthquake Roar Mirror Coat Substitute Calm Mind

The Mariscale drawing looks sick

The Zeraora Electric gym may not be so bad if you were allowed to fight the gyms in any order, and could choose to fight the Electric gym last (or at least delay the battle until you have a good ground type) If that's not the case, however, then I better hope that oasis phanpy is available before then lol

Honestly this region sounds really cool. I think if it was tweaked a bit and leaned in a little more to India’s mythology it would end up being really cool!

i love how close kiran is so close to kiram in the teal mask

Walks into the first gym. '"WHY DO YOU HAVE ZERAURA?"
