If VIKINGS Had Their Own Pokemon Region - Scandanavia and Norse Fakemon 

Considering that the Kalos legendaries, Yvetal, Xerneas and Zygarde are based on Vetrfolnir, Eithyrnir and Nidhogg (The guardians of Yggdrasil) it would be really cool if those same pokemon were brought back and had some Ragnarok like special forms equivalent to the primal forms for Kyogre and Groudon.

As a Norseman, I would have loved for Gen 9 to have taken place in a Scandinavia-based region, mostly due to how important the number 9 is in Norse Mythology. I like Scarlet and Violet, but I'd have liked a Nordic region :D Also, just for clarification, Ymir is only the father of all ice giants in things like Marvel, but in the actual Mythology Ymir is the father of the Jotnar, a tribe of supernatural entities that were the opposite of the Aesir tribe. They were gods in their own rights but represented chaos and evil rather then order and good like the Aesir did, for the most part. Also, contrary to what people think, mostly due to Marvel, Jotnar were not giants. A few certainly grew to large proportions due to the chaotic nature of their existence, and some of them even had the shape of animals, but most of them were human-looking, ugly ones, but human-looking nontheless.

Björn is just Scandinavian for Bear

All of these pokemon are wonderfully designed. The artist did a great job with them. I love the three starters, Crowscure, Bjorking, Fenristil, Dragrism, and Houndemn.

Squirrush/Squirrimber seems like an overt reference to Ratatoskr, the squirrel that climbs up and down Yggdrasil, carrying messages for Nidhogg and the eagles that perch at the top of the tree. The faces in the smoke of Valhalgon are the faces of Spiritomb, Haunter, and Rotom. Neat little reference there!

5:20 Its not a Phoenix but that could be Gullinkambi. As in some sources they are linked to be the same. According to Norse mythology Gullinkambi sits on top of the tree Yggdrasil. Here it wakes the Viking warriors every morning and it will crow at the beginning of Ragnarok😊

The Norden Region is by far, my favorite Fakémon region! It’s so cool, seeing you look through this region!

Biteobait’s alternate lure isn’t a shiny Magikarp. Based of the odd looking fins, the eye design and the pattern used, it’s supposed to look like a Feebas. Although if it were shiny , the lures could get the colours of each of their shinies.

6:00 well Garm is only called a hellhound, but looking at his home Helheim, Ice really is more fitting, Ghost of course fits perfectly. 8:22 most likely this is Fafnir themed.Fafnir was a geeedy dwarf who became a dragon to protect his treasure. Also the Rainbow/??? could imply the Gems color differ to change second type accordingly.

Someone needs to make a game out of this.

The Thundrailer Fakemon might be a reference to Tatzelwurms, half-feline, half-serpentine beasts from Alpine folklore (Switzerland mainly). Though they aren't specifically from Norse mythology, it is part of the greater Germanic mythology that Norse culture is a part of. It's also important to note that Tatzelwurms show up in the Norse God of War games as an enemy type, so it might reference that too.

Love these, such a missed opportunity not calling Mjolnislash Aegismash imo

(7:37) This could be a reference to Angrboda, the mother of Fenrir and jörmungandr. Seeing as Thundrailer is a wolf-snake hybrid thingy.

I’m begging somebody… anybody… PLEASE make these games as a rom hack or something! I love all of these mons so much. Kudos to the artist

The skeleton on Ymirstdons back is not just any dinosaur but the skeleton of the Pokémon tyrantrum

"The magikarp on biteobait can actually be golden like a shiny magikarp" *shows a feebas*

Pacielf be like: -Fairy type -Gains fighting type upon evolving -Immediately replaces that fighting type with grass type upon evolving the second time

I once dreamed of making a fakemon region around scandinavia, Vikings, and norse mythology. Haven’t gotten very far, but the region and gym leaders typing are based around Yggdrasil and the nine realms. It’s an entire archipelago that would’ve merged into one big landmass as part of the villain’s endgame.

I think I know what the glameow is based off of! The Norwegian forest cat! It's suuuuuuper fluffy and suuuuuuuuuuuper cute!! 😍

As a Swed, I love this video. Also I love Hulda. She does feel like a reference to the Skogsrå, or Hulda in English.

Absolutely heart broken that non of these are real 😭😭 I’d do anything for a Plumpound 💔💔💔 Edit: I want to add! That when I saw Valhalgon, I thought that it would definitely have a Dhelmise nearby. The designs match as an anchor to it’s ship

One of the best Scandinavian regions I've seen so props to the creator. I would definitely play this if it was a game. As someone who LOVES Viking and Norse culture and mythology this Fakemon Region really hits the sweet spot for me. Also if you think this one is good you should check out Mr. Buddy's Scandinavian region that he did a while ago. He's making his own pokemon-esque game now but his region videos are Top Tier. Lastly this is why I prefer fan-made regions, they're just done better and with more love and care then what Gamefreak can put out.

( 17:20 ) definitely a Draugr. Zombies that have the ability to grow in size, explaining why Warraith is so big.

Freya looks like my little sister when she turns into a teenager. The beauty from Pokémon X and Y looks like me when I turn into an adult.

I really like all of these Pokémon none of them are over designed which happens a lot when someone designs Fakémon, the concepts are all there, the colors are amazing and proportions are just right 10/10 would play this game

I think the Glameow regional line was made with the Norwegian Forest cat in mind. Norwegian Forest cats are fluffy domestic cats. They're precious fluffbuns! Though Lynx isn't out of the question, there, either.

You killed it mate!! They all look wonderful. Valhalgon was my favourite, looks stunning. Love those longboats

These pokemon are so well designed!! Props to the artist! I have a feeling that the mons that looked like druddigon were a pre-evo and an evolution of druddigon itself. Also, if you look closely at the angler fish mon its not a shiny magikarp its a feebas ;)

The legends look like they would have a Pokédex saying they guard the gate of hell and heaven in sync to keep balance

Oh and by the way I'm pretty sure Polaris is based off of polarity not polar and the only reason I think that is because you look at the neck with the two things at opposite ends it stands for polarity I'm pretty positive

If this came out as a game I would so play this, this looks so amazing. Fantastic work from the artists !

This is one of the best Pokémon thing I’ve ever seen!!🔥

why does Fakemon look better than a lot of Pokemon

1:11 Flamur looked like a fire rockruff at first lol

the phoenix,ice wolf, and grass troll look like a second set of starters

Greetings from Norway❤ this is a very good region and you can also learn a bit about northern mythology. Very good example for what a northern region.

I had a dream about a Nordic viking region awhile back. However, the games were split into 2 different timelines. The first was sent into the distant past. The game play looked more dynamic (think of Legends Arceus, but better), and the mascot was a Dark/Steel black bear. The bear had long, sharp claws while looking rugged. The other focused on the modern day; researching the events of the first game. The mascot was a mystical ground/fairy type moose.

Freya is actually a god from Norse mythology (the mythology Vikings believed in)

I Loved this! From someone who comes from Norway and has visited a lot of Viking sites. This make me so happy!❤

Fun fact about Thor. Each night Thor eats hes goats as he can resurekt them. Here is an outtake from Wikipedia «The Prose Edda relates that when Thor cooks the goats, their flesh provides sustenance for the god, and, after Thor resurrects them with his hammer, Mjölnir, they are brought back to life the next day»

( 8:32 ) the rainbow typing could mean that it’s second type depends on what color of gem it’s holding.

I would love to see Pokedex entries for these guys!

9:30 that’s feebas (or whatever Milotics prevolution is.)

My team: Obscuring Squirrimber Nettlesque Majestings Shamicine Valkrien

just so you know, the UB Deathless Warraith is actually based on the Viking's undead monster called a Draugr, according the the stories, since its the Valkyries job to ferry the souls of warriors slain in battle to Valhalla, however, sometimes the warrior fights off the Valkyrie and their body becomes a husk animated by their wayward soul. The one way to defeat a draugr is to burn them so they don't come back, but you must do it at night since they disappear underground when the sun comes up, kinda like vampires in a way.

The starter Pokémon going to choose is, Yowlark! My Pokémon Team: 1.Obscuring(Water/Dark) 2.Valkirien(Fairy/Steel) 3.Majestings(Fire/Flying) 4.Glaceil(Ice/Fighting) 5.Trolossus(Grass/Ground) 6.Thundrailer(Electric/Dragon)

Can’t believe how good these designs are

I think the rainbow typing means that is has a random type. like green gems could mean it’s a grass type

The linx like cat would probably be a Norwegian forest cat

Fan creativity is light miles better than the Pokémon Company

Only halfway through this video and it is already better than the past 4 or 5 reigons overall. (Maybe not galar and boarderline kalos and unova but 100% alola and paldea) fan art pokemon reigions should just be used they are so great. Wish this was real

Why the fucc is Game Freak not hiring these guys who made these?! These look canon

I've not started watching the video yet, but NORSE was the inspiration behind my own starter trio. A water snake for jormungandr, a grass wolf for fenrir, and a fire horse for sleipnir.

That Raven Pokémon was sick. I need it. And these designs are a whole lot better then the most recent actual Pokémon designs we’re getting

I absolutely would love to see a Scandinavian region in Pokemon but to clarify, Dunsparse is base on the Tsuchinoko which in no way has anything to do with dragons. For those who don't know, in Japanese folklore, the Tsuchinoko is a snake-like being. Tsuchinoko are described as being between 30 and 80 centimeters in length, similar in appearance to a snake, but with a central girth that is much wider than its head or tail, and as having fangs and venom similar to that of a viper. Some accounts also describe the Tsuchinoko as being able to jump up to 1 meter in distance followed immediately by a second jump while still in the air. According to legend, some Tsuchinoko have the ability to speak and a propensity for lying, and they are also said to have a taste for alcohol. Legend records that it will sometimes swallow its own tail so that it can roll like a wheel. Dundunsparse is suppose to be a further showing of that connection; however, I do agree that it needs one more evolution, but instead of a dragon, it evolves into a snake-like Pokemon with it's tail in it's mouth and be called Dunouroboros.

There is a reason why those pokemon have a halloween theme and that is because of the pagans the Halloween holiday has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (a Gaelic word pronounced “SAH-win”), a pagan religious celebration to welcome the harvest at the end of summer, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. The Halloween holiday has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (a Gaelic word pronounced “SAH-win”), a pagan religious celebration to welcome the harvest at the end of summer, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. The Norse warriors (and their children) certainly did not go trick or treating on the 31st of October, but this was still an important day in the Norse calendar. pagans who lived 2,000 years ago in an area now Ireland, celebrated their new year on November 1 when the world of the gods was believed to be made visible to mankind. Modern witches say it is a time of year when the “veil between the dead and the living is thin.” When did Pagans start celebrating Halloween? In the Celtic culture, which dates back as early as 1200 B.C.E., Samhain was a celebration that marked the end of the summer and kicked off the Celtic new year. The new year signaled a time of death and rebirth, which was symbolic of the end of a bountiful harvest season and the beginning of a dark winter.

3:19 Spargo is the GOAT

the dracaroon evolution line question mark theory: 1: you can give it an item to hold and the item will decide the other typing like with arceus and silvally. 2: Based on what area you evolve it it has the typing like if you evolve it at sea it will get water, if you evolve at forest it gets grass and etc.

Love most of the Ice and Grass types. They're my favourite types so I'm glad to see the love it got.

Bunlaze and Flambunn design is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

i think the split goats might have a little god of war influence, odds are high that i am 100% wrong on that.

Why is this not a game yet? Very well designed mons and really cool concept for a pokemon region.

I think the grass starter m,ight be based off of the Bog Horse which is basically the norse version of the Kelpie. Sometimes it's a fairy taking the form of a horse whouch could explain the Fairy typing. And I think the Fire Type and Water Type are based off of Skull and Hati, the wholes who chase the sun and moon.

This is a cool region, but it falls into something many fan regions fall into and this is that there are not enough single typed Pokemon to bring balance into a region. Its especially noticiable here, since aside from a few, all are dual typed.

I would be so obsessed with this as a game.

There is a phoenix in Norse mythology and sits at the top of Yggdrasil and crows at the dawn of ragnarock.

Also, Hulda sounds like "Huldra", which are Norse elves with superhuman strength, cows' tails and hollow backs.

What abour draugr? (relate to Dokkalfar and sprrigan) This plague-bringers range from pale to a bloated, dark-blue, oxe-size beast-like revenants, with "fire in their mouths" (relate to how berserk warriors used to chew on coals) they can leave their grave in a smoke-form (astral hemolytic vampire) turn into a sleep paralysis-cat that grow a bit more and more (similiar to the myling) they relate to other revenants, like the Vyracolakas, Upier-opir and the nachtzeher... hes one of the inspirations for pennywise's race, the Gleamor.

Obscuring is a reference to odins magic gold ring which multiplies by nine every night

(2:48 ) I think Squirrush/ Squirrimber are based on Ratatoskr, the Messenger of the world tree.

my favourite is probably infernound, thundrailer or helodian, i also do quite like majestings and dragrism, and lemmizen is cute as always, love the pika clones (well most of them haha)

All those starters are leagues above what Gamefreak has presented us with in the last 4 Gens and that's really sad.

Shiny magicarp looking a lot like feebass now a days

My favourite Pokemon were Valkirien, Ymirstodon, Buckdrasil and Valhalgon! I would also pick Flamur, the fire starter! What are your favourites?? ✨SUBSCRIBE! ✨

Conjagnathus: compsognathus Puphorn Line: old depictions of elasmotherium Polaris: Ampelosaurus or mamenchisaurus Beeboth Line: the wooly mammoth, the Frozen sceleton could be a reference to the famous mammoth Cube Predaurus: a mosasaurid

Say, did you ever considered selling your designs to the Pokemon Company, 'cause I really wish to catch some of these critters right away.

It's so hard to choose which starter to start out with Leafane, Flamur or Yowlark. If it were up to me and depends on the Gyms, I'll choose Yowlark for Infernal Light and for Celestial Dark...it will be either Leafane or Flamur. I love Cubhite, Glaceil and Fangarm and Dracaroon, Dragcrhief and Dragrism. The regional forms of Growlithe and Arcanine are so cute and awesome, the final form of Growlithe, Thundrailer is so cool! Please Gamefreak to make this into Mainline game!

( 9:46 ) that’s a reference to a Selkie. Pretty much a Norse mermaid.

Your friends make the 100 day videos so much better

Pokémon needs to hire this guy for his designs and names

My team would be: Infernound, Dragism, Bjorking, Regional Arcanine, Plumpound and Valhagon

My Norden Team: 1. Yowlark 2. Ravhern 3. Antellar 4. Squirrush 5. Dracaroon 6. Norden Glameow I call dibs on the Water Starter!! 💙🩵💦🐺🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 My Secondary Norden Team: 1. Leafane 2. Goattle, evolve it into Flaries 3. Fairen 4. Redweet 5. Bunlaze 6. Predaurus

Please let this become real, awesome Designs and very much Potential. Would love this sort of Game 🙏

Drakhantom would be cool that if it fainted it would be burning turning into ghost/fire type and if you use a revive or maybe a other new fan item you could in a sense remake/repair it and turn it into it's normal form

This is more better than last released 2 pokemons show

We really need to play this version , that so awesome 😮 , let's go

Norden means ‘the north’. Love it when Americans are so fascinated by our languages The pacielf line is probably based on the Icelandic ‘álfar’ or the danish ‘nisser’. Actually not sure if sweden has something similar

Bro Ymirstodon has a tyrantrum skeleton on its back

I feel like some of these third stages could just be another evolution for the first stage (split evolution) especially the bug/ice one

would be cool if all the starters where Lokis children the ''snake'' the wolf and the horse

This is amazing

8:23 Thatv type, must be... Lumination?

I’ve never seen a concept for Pokémon that I’ve wanted to be real more than this lol

We need all those pokemon in a pokemon game

Amazing 🤩

My team would definitely be Infernound/Obscuring Fangarm Trollossus Slayelf Dragrism Predaurus All of these are fakemon that I personally thought were really cool

We'll never get anything this good

The art is so much better than any of the newer generation pokemon. They really hit on all of their pokemon designs in this one.

Many of these second forms look like the final forms of real pokemon, this is better than the flamingo

Bro this is awesome if only game freaks would let people like you and others helps them to make some awesome pokemons games like theses
