Guys. Ya’ll are aware that I tried to make Baritorn Ugly YET likable, right? If you like Baritorn, that’s a good thing, not a failure on my part. Glad you enjoyed.
Something i've noticed, is that if an ugly pokemon looks like it wears clothes, people will site the clothes as a reason they think its ugly, but if a pokemon is beautiful they will site the clothes as a reason why it looks good. Almost as if the presence of clothing esc body parts exentuate the preexisting features of the pokemon.
I was coming to the comments section to make a similar remark, the ugly pokemon is ugly cause its wearing cloths, the pretty one is pretty cause its wearing cloths. yep checks out
Honestly, even if I find a pokemon's design good, I still get weirded out by the idea of some Pokemon where their "Clothes" are actually a part of its body. Like Lucario's shorts or Gardevoir's dress. I know there are plenty of creatures where they have long or bushy aspects to their body but, when I see stuff like that on pokemon, I get confused. like.... does Gardevoir feel pain when the dress is harmed? Can Lucario cut the "hair" that is their shorts or is that actually pure muscle and skin? Can those aspects grow back if cut? Like.... how does it work?
I personally find Aromatisse cute. Like a teddy bear that you want to squeeze or a really fluffy cat. I want to shove me face into its fluff whenever I am stressed.
While I agree, I wouldn't really recommend shoving your face into it lol "The scent that constantly emits from its fur is so powerful that this Pokémon's companions will eventually lose their sense of smell" - Sword dex entry
Am I only one who didn't think Baritorn was ugly? I really love the design actually, it's very Halloween plus I love bats. And the face reminds me of a dog like the Bull Terrier. He's cool, I'd have him on my team, gladly :3 *(Mission failed successfully)*
Other than the comb over I can't find a single ugly thing about him. Not failed successfully, his entire goal was to make an ugly pokemon and it isn't.
@@joecoral5551 well I say failed successfully bc I can definitely see one ugly thing about it, which is the nose but barely xD It ain't nothing like a drowse nose
The fact that i was sure Tsareena would be on the pretty side of the list says a lot about me as a person and an artist lol. Side note this video made me realize my favorites are objectively pretty/cute or super ugly pokemon, nothing in-between.
I was not expecting Phantom Of The Opera to be referenced even slightly in this video, but I respect and understand it. I swear, Phantom Of The Opera references come up in the most random places lol
i do think it's interesting how weird or scary feminine pokémon are considered ugly AND unlikeable rather than the more masculine ones being revered for being those things. personally, i really like jynx and bruxish. they're fun and camp. the goal wasn't to be beautiful- they take more of a drag approach to femininity and i think that's fun
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they originally intended for Jynx to be just as ugly as its former counterparts, Magmar and Electabuzz. It definitely feels that way, anyway. And they pull it off.
I think Tapu fini should have been in honorable mentions. The design is so cool and unique but I guess I'm biased because I love water pokemon and Tapu fini has my favourite colours
I kinda wish we got to see all the data on from the doc, I wanna see some of the oddball picks people had for these pokemon. (As an example, I unironically put male unfezant as my pick for prettiest pokemon)
Unfezant would definitely be seen as pretty by everyone if it was a real life bird. I don't get why people say that it is ugly, it's a pheasant, and pheasants in general are pretty. I'm glad someone thinks like me, I thought I was alone on this one!
I've never thought Barbaracle was ugly. I've always seen it as a pretty cool looking mon. I don't personally like it very much but it's never been ugly really
I think Baritorn is pretty fun! I guess yeah not like…super traditionally attractive which was the whole point..you’re going for ugly not bad…but it’s animalistic and kinda dorky cute 😂
I was actively getting more worked up waiting for Bruxish. The breath of victory I let out when it came in at 1 was like having an out of reach itch scratched. 😂😂
I often question the hate people have for Bruxish. Yeah it's ugly, but have you seen a reef triggerfish? They are pretty ugly too. I can give it a pass for that, but I guess many others don't
@noahberan6498 tbh the color scheme/ design is a big thing for me. Then there's the lips 😣. And the eyes that look like they're trying to lure you in 😫. Now that I think about it, if the colors were different, I think I'd be neutral about it. 🤔
I love Baritorn, I definitely think it's a bit 'ugly' but I love it because of that. I mean, I love bats and my favorite is the ghost-faced bat which I would consider a high contender for 'ugliest looking bat'. XD And of course, Heliallure is gorgeously designed, I can definitely see it being the 'popular girl bully'.
I can definitely see these two Pokemon being good in vgc too. Baritorn has one of the best type combinations in the game being ghost fairy, and it's ability allows hyper voice to become like a mini astral barage that can also boost it's special attack with the item throat spray. I could also see it running support moves like tailwind or taunt. However it's viability would probably drop once the power level of the format rises, since it would basically be just a slightly worse flutter mane with access to tailwind. As for Heliallure, it's a fire fairy type with access to drought just like oxinerate, but with better stats. It's unfortunate that it wouldn't be legal as it is a mythical.
Hey now! *Barbaracle* *is* *NOT* *ugly!* That's mammal favouritism talking! Our barnacle friend is a beautiful colonial organism complete with five heads and lovable cheeks! The only ugly thing here is y'alls attitude! (•̀⤙•́)
@@sammy_slammy I thought so too! But the Barbaracle plushy doesn't have faces on its soles so... 5 it is. (Would've loved if the feet were grumpier versions of the head but... eh)
Finally someone who gets it! I love invertebrate Pokémon, and in my opinion they tend to have the cutest and coolest designs of the roster. I think Binacle’s adorable and Barbaracle is awesome.
@@liveinamber1307 Ah- So by plushie, five, but by Dex, seven. From the Sun Dex entries, "When they evolve, two Binacle multiply into seven. They fight with the power of seven Binacle." From Sword, "Seven Binacle come together to form one Barbaracle. The Binacle that serves as the head gives orders to those serving as the limbs. ...And nothing from Gen 9. Which is a little sad.
I started appreciating Jynx more when I stopped seeing it as an awkward woman in a dress and started seeing it as a sea anemone with a slug-like foot and a vaguely humanoid upper body. But anyway, these are both very well-done designs. Baritorn also looks a lot like it could be a Dracula-inspired Pokémon.
Sea anemones are almost entirely immobile, so it makes sense that Jynx would have an alluring voice and bright colors to attract prey. But I think it would look more animalistic if Jynx had noodly arms or the arm segments looked inhuman.
I wasn't all that impressed with the pretty Pokemon either... reminded me too much of Meleotta. In general I prefer Pokemon to be animalistic than to be humanoid.
I low-key love Baritorn's snoot - I generally preference Pokémon with longer snouts, and baritorn is actually pretty silly. Wouldn't make it to my Team, but I'd apprechiate it from afar.
I don’t know if it was intentional to make Heliallure look like ballerina Christine, who falls in love with the phantom’s voice, but it is absolutely perfect for the theme ❤
I think I'm one of a few that doesn't get why barbaracle gets hate. I think it looks somewhat cool. I could definitely understand why someone would have it as their favorite.
Helialure is really pretty! I think you nailed it with the pose and color scheme. And in your defense, I don't think you could have made a pokemon uglier than Crabomniable if you were blindfolded...
Truegreen did a great job. It’s also cool to see how both feebass and milotic pretty much achieved their goal and we’re both beloved. I do feel like barbaracle kinda just looks messy or confusing rather than explicitly ugly. Even when I knew he was a barnacle I still felt like I didn’t know what I was looking at.
personally i would make the clouds a pastel blue. i know it doesnt match the sunset aesthetic but the color blue actually calms people down, so they associate blue with good things. i feel like that would look a little better
seeing the list of the prettiest pokemon and seeing most if not all of my all time favorites on the list/in the honourable mentions (lurantis, alolan ninetales, lunala, gardevoir, mega absol, and not to mention primarina and diancie, who are my second and first favorite pokemon of all time) certainly says something about my taste in fictional monsters
Between these three, I love the ultra beasts (with the exception of Celesteela) and I think the Galar fossils are kinda neat. Not as fond of the paradoxes, primarily the future ones, but moreso because they feel derivative rather than ugly.
@@scootermcpeanuts6699 Agreed (I do like Celesteela though). I ended up picking Scarlet due to losing a bet (I make a bet with a long time friend before each version of the games if we want the same version), but I’m glad I did. Koraidon grew on me, Sada’s cool, and Past Paradoxes are so much more creative. They could’ve ran with the idea of “traditional” evolution and adaptation rather than all robots. Think regional variant but on a more drastic scale. It’s kinda a shame that a lot of fan art for Future Paradoxes are cooler than most of what we ended up getting.
@@BlastHeart96 Yeah, some of the past paradoxes are pretty neat. I do like Sandy shocks and sliver wing a fair bit. If anything I’m just salty they basically replaced the fossil Pokémon who would have been perfectly fitting additions to the past and future games. I also picked scarlet because I wanted to do a mono-poison playthrough and dragalge and skuntank are both scarlet exclusives. I think my main issue with Celesteela is it’s really overdesigned and basically incapable of emoting. It just looks very stiff in my opinion.
I don't care that much about it, but I personally wouldn't see it as the ugliest pokemon. I guess I'm just put off by different things. Ugliest pokemon to me would be like Slaking, and still Garbodor. Ugliness is subjective just as beauty is after all. I also didn't find all 10 pokemon in the beautiful section beautiful.
@@determineddaaf3 yea I don't really care about a pokemon's looks, but people out there do apparently I mean, why do you think lopunny and gardivoire are so popular? Doesn't help that the pokemon lore had humans actually marry pokemon
Personally, I’m not someone who can just fully hate a design, especially when it comes to Pokémon. I just need to have at least some idea of its concept. However, I can admit that, for the first few times I play a new game, I’m most likely to use Pokémon that appeal to me most. Usually, because I’m likely to replay the games anyway, first come first serve, and I plan to get to the rest of the Pokédex eventually.
I... actually like Bruxish. It's weird looking, and I think that's okay. Also wait I kinda like Baritorn... it's a neat concept and really fun. And Heliallure...... I won't say what I think of it... for fear of being labeled sus...
I have an interesting idea for you Ron! Randomize a Pokemon, Typing and maybe other attributes height, weight, stats, etc. Maybe if it goes well it could be a series 🤷🏼 I apologize if you already did something like this I’m relatively new to your art stuff.
Baritorn's head was a great start but the rest of the body and the colour scheme look way too cool. I know it was supposed to be ugly yet likable but the pokemon actually ended up looking pretty good. Maybe unsettling human hands or something like that would have worked better for the ugly factor. Bat pokemon always look cool to me.
Now that Truegreen7 has explained the lore for Baritorn and Heliallure, I can't help but ship the two Fakemon, even though he just created them. Don't look at me like that, you know you ship some Pokémon too.
Heliallure is funnily enough one of my favourite pokemons you made, since I love Meloette and Primarina. It was a great designed pokemon! Also loved the Phantom of the Opera inspiration
I always love these kinds of videos because the concepts and designs often get my own creative juices flowing. I like both new designs, but Heliallure could fit in perfectly as one of the many Light type Pokémon concepts and designs I’ve thought up over the years. I hadn’t really put too much thought into my own Helios based concept, but the crown and even Heliallure’s simplicity has the gears turning.
I really like Enamorus's design. I think it pulls off being both feminine and beastial at the same time. One of my only regrets of not fully completing Legends: Arceus. I like the pinkish red of Heliallure. Although it would be better if it was the sunrise Pokémon as the old saying, "Red sky at morning, sailors take warning" would elude to its less than gentle personality.
Finally. Someone based and who isn't just hating because everyone else does it or because they want to belittle everyone who actually do like a design.
i think what we have learned is that people base too much of their opinion of things on the way it looks. "this thing looks ugly or unattractive to me so i hate it" is such a bs and childish mindset
I actually love bruxish, she's like the drag queen of pokemon and I love it for that. Honestly slaying the whole game and the color scheme is actually satisfying to me.
I love Aromatisse and Bruxish for their funny, tacky selves (and think Enamorus is alright too.) That could be because I'm a queer guy who loves drag and camp and femininity that's not trying to be conventionally attractive. (Also I grew up as a girl, and always hated the idea that I should grow up to be a conventionally attractive woman. Whose looks aren't for me to express myself, but for others to base my value on.) edit: LMAO I'm that somebody who considers Grimmsnarl a hunk! I love monsters and I love hair, what can I say
Ngl Enamorus irks me not bc it’s an “ugly woman,” it just doesn’t match the others of its set bc they went weirdly hard on giving it gender stereotypes against the others
I personally dislike Binacle and Barbaracle because eyes where they don't belong make me extremely uncomfortable (especially on the palms of hands) I dont think they are particularly ugly or scary, and they are still well designed, just very unsettling and off-putting to look at for me personally
