Pokemon Artist Reacts to YOUR Fakemon 3 

Petition for Ron to make another episode of redesigning Fakémon Edit: Man, that's a lot of people who are agreeing with me

I would love to see a follow-up where those that took Ron's advice and redesigned them, show them off.

Something I figured out in Pokemon design is that all of them have to take into account how they'll be transformed as merch. That includes plushies, keychains, etc. Simplifying most shapes (complicated forms becoming just circles/triangles) or having just 3-5 colors as opposed to an entire spectrum just fits the Pokemon design perspective more.

18:00 For different colors, it would've been cool if it was like aging copper going from orange to a greenish color to show the progression of the pokemons age.

I think all your critiques were pretty valid! Some great Fakemon in here!

Well while my designs did not make it into the critique part I saw them on screen (0:27) for a split second😁 that’s close enough for me^.^ congrats to all the designs that got chosen. These kind of videos are super helpful even if your designs do not get picked. Amazing opportunity for artists to learn and develop their skills. Hope the video does well!

I always learn so much about how to improve my own character designs whever I watch your art videos. Videos like these that give genuine critique while also being so positive are so encouraging 💚💜!

I NEED another episode of Redesigning Your Fakemon!!!!

Awesome to see so many great Fakemon artists in this one! And some really valid critiques! Even though Pokémon are simple at their core, they’re still hard to master designing!

"Thicker than the average snake" what kinda yogie bear spin off is that xD

Ron I think you might be right. This batch of Fakemon is too strong. I can't keep up with all these guys! I'm jealous! DX But seriously, this was fun to participate in! Even if my little fireflies didn't make the video, I'm happy that they got noticed in some way. It's also nice to learn how to make a more convincing Fakemon, even if the artist and or philosophy are different!

I think a really fun series would be for you to look at, not Fakemon themselves, but art of creatures from other monster collection games, and compare and contrast the different design sensibilities of them vs Pokémon. It could be interesting to see what makes something *not* look like a Pokémon, even if just in a “here’s what to avoid when specifically making a fakemon” kind of thing If this idea interests you, I’d suggest looking at designs from Cassette Beasts, Monster Sanctuary, and Spectrobes

Ron idk why I just thought of this when you said “bark” but we 100% need a design of a tree dog Pokemon named Bark 😂

The flamingo one is perfect. I love him so much. Edit: I love the dragon horse too. Most of these are so good! Lol

Shoutout to Darksilvania, I've been following him for about 10 years, and he's always been one of the best Fakemon creators of all time.

The expression of the Steel type is actually referenced in the colors. All I have to do is point to the Statue of Liberty. When copper oxidizes, it becomes that pale green color. I suppose the color doesn't make sense for it's 1st form since it's not a steel type yet. Perhaps the first form should be more brown like copper and without those scale-like plates. It's second form is mostly copper/brown, but perhaps those pale green scale-like plates begin to appear. Then it's final form kept as is.

Just to critique your critiques: -Litten is not an obviously fire starter in any of its evolutions. -Dragonaire and Serperior are long snake proportioned Pokémon. -Falinks, Mousehold etc are Pokémon made up of multiple Pokémon. Love all the advice and critiques, as well as all the fakemons! Just wanted to counter argue a couple things.

I’ve only done one Fakemon before, very recently (as in literally yesterday) but my main problem is that I *cannot* mimic other artstyles. My art style is very unique and noticeable and a large part of the way I draw, and I can’t draw in any other style without it looking really horrible.

As someone who's planning on designing Fakémon soon, I'd absolutely love for this series to continue with a part 4! I feel like I've learned a lot from your critiques before even having drawn a single Fakémon!

Did not expect to be in the thumbnail hxjdhd thanks for the feature! I submitted that cus it was all I had at the time, but I have more these days

Your art is crazy and you help so much with creativity your art is crazy and I love these vids

@6:39 i think the word you're looking for is: Vibrant. for the starters the Red (Fire), Blue (Water), and Green (Grass) are for the most part more vibrant.

Some people worked really hard on these to make them how they want them to look and how they imagined it

Great art & great video. Would love to watch one of these every month

You’re right these are great submissions and your critiques are very valid with little tweets some of those fan designs can give the official Pokémon a run for their money

I love this because for some of these I screenshotted them and put them in CSP and made my own edits to them, which I think really helps me in making better art myself, because you really start to think about the design choices. And then when I continued the video, found you saying many of the same critiques. And in some cases I had different ones, like with the steel kirin thing. I'd personally cut out the middle stage and make the prevo copper coloured and then have the mature version be a bit more vibrant to resemble patina.

Please do part 4 I've been waiting for a long time for this to happen you're the only reason why I practice for this art style a lot I have liked subscribed and I have notifications

Honestly I’m excited, although I can’t draw in the pokemon style you got me into drawing fakemon

A lot of these are amazingly awesome! love these vids

9:05 I agree that there is a lot of detail for a Pokémon design, but maybe with just a little less detail, I can totally see it as a legendary.

Thank you for taking the time out to give crit on my dinos!!

I hope that there'll be even more of these because I submitted my own Fakemon which is "MissingNo but an actual Pokemon". It has a lot of insipirations and I'm extremely proud of it.

Didn't get a chance to work on it in a while but I actually do have a fakemon in the works, a concept for a pokemon idea me and my physical therapist came up with when she miss heard me say whack a mole and said guacamole, Thus gwakamole was formed And for lil background on this bab, i like to think that it is known for staying in darker areas like caves, only really coming out at night, but one other place you may find them, gardens, mainly ones that grow fruit and vegetables, like normal moles they would be known for digging around in yards, and sometimes you may catch one's nose sticking out, often mistaken for a patch of grass, I'm working on whether or not to make two separate designs for male and female, cause the first sketch i did had a baby version on it's head that looked like an avocado pit (still working on pre evolved form not even a name yet) definitely will revise my work and hopefully submit it by next time

Love your videos you inspired me to make my own Fakemon

Oh, this was fun! I hope there'll be another video like it, and maybe a video on redesigning them?

This is so good! I love seeing you be constructive but critical in a kind way

the 4 artists videos are always my favorite! Its so cool to see how different people interpret the same description

I enjoy watching these because I learn so much about Pokémon design that I can understand

0:43 LOOK GARY, THERE I AM!

Would love to see more! I had no idea i needed more dope looking cow mons!

Your fans are so talented=3 Thank you for the video and knowledge=) I've learned so much! You are so nice and polite=)

Hey Ron. Another kind of video that might work really well is asking for ppl to submit fakemon design ideas (without visualization) and choosing some of them to turn into fakemon

I have an Idea for Fakemon 4, like you see the new fakemons and those that you have a "It's amazing...but" maybe make a sketch not really a full on redesign so it doesn't take so much

Hey, thanks for the advice :) i will take it for my future fakemon. Even if novatleaf its my first fakemon on digital art, i already know it has problems, even more when i realize that its a starter, am planning to rework him and his evos and i will take the advice of the scales and the wood aspect. Also great video, all of the advices are great and i enjoy it a lot.

Im making my own Pokemon region based on Ireland the starters are a grass deer a fire squirrel and a water seagull and this video will help me design my fakemon

I absolutely love these!!! Plz do more

I love watching these since I can actually learn tips and tricks for fakémon drawing

The BuHorror line is so cute!! I would go searching for a BuHorror for my team!

Ron please continue your podcasting career, i love listening to you talk

You were my insparation for my pokemon fangame!

Hope there's another episode of this. I'm currently working on finishing the final design of my own starters and would really love your opinions!

Good art everyone. Some of these are incredible, and then some of them just bring me a chuckle. Goofy lil guys. edit: I need a Gorf (the round seal boi)

Interesting to hear the critiques, but totally align with how Ron works! Every time I was a "creating fakemon" video, Ron will overdo certain features and then redraw over and over to get the balance right with fur, scales etc... It's only natural to want to add the extra detail, because it adds to the artwork, but to meet the unspoken requirements of Pokemon design, Ron is spot on, less is more! Some really awesome designs in their own right though!!

Amazing part 4 plz.

this are so cool. would love to see more. i have my own fake mons but doubt i'll ever share. lol maybe someday.

i'm glad darksilvania is getting more representation

i like the difference you make between "good creature design" and "Pokémon design"

so cool, i love these videos!!!

Yet another TruGreen7 W video, I love your videos This series is just so good

i love watching these videos, one day i wanna get into one of them :)

THAT'S MY FRIEND FEEBELLE AT THE END ALWAYS KILLING IT WITH THE SPRITES

Now I wanna see Ron make a video of just making overly detailed fakemon 😭

I’m planning on creating my own fakemon line that is a regional form of espurr and Meowstic, but what’s different is that 1. Espurr is able to evolve into many unique forms, similar to eevee and 2. They’re all based on different feathered dinosaurs. It’s not like eevee where each evolution corresponds to a different type. Instead, each evolution has a unique type combination based on the biology of the real animal and putting a Pokemon spin on it in some cases. This is not meant for any fakemon region, this is just simply a passion project focusing on not only giving my favorite Pokemon some love, but also combining that with my love for feathered dinosaurs.

I would love part 4!

for the snakes i would suggest the colors to swap so it matches the verse to differentiate milk snakes and coral snakes "red touching black safe is jack (base), red touching yellow kill a fellow (evo) but thats just my idea

I need to redraw my fakemon 😭 this sounds cool to join in on

I love how these fakemon actually look real also I love armastone

I wish Pokémon had more details (I say as a person who loves Pokémon.)

these are better than any pokemon ron has made

I've had this pointed out in another pokemon video, that *most* steel types don't read steel (Especially the more organic pokemon, ie. not the literal metal pieces and A LOT of the insect pokemon). Jirachi, Alolan Diglett/Dugtrio, Alolan Sandshrew/Sandslash, Trash cloak Wormadam, Cufant...It's almost always their secondary typing that takes the wheel and steel is just a second thought.

17:45 for that I suggest making it look more colorful like milotic scales

If I had known you were doing this I would've sent you mine but where do we send them Ron?

I wanna see truegreen7 set up a challgen where a fan can get their pokemon in his up coming new region

Aaaaand another video in the re-watch list

Nearly choked on my food when I saw Gorf

'How can you have three pokemon in a coat?' Tandemaus: ...... Falinks: >:(

segamastergirl has an awsome concept reminds me of the Raltz line up (I'd make a male version of the final form)

How does dude not have 1 million yet?

Ey, thanks. And yeah, that's something I've heard before where my stuff can be a bit too close to the real counterparts at times Glad you like em tho

Darksilvania's pokemon should be a regional variant to falink

I don't have Twitter, is their another way for me to send you my art

hey make another one of these! but maybe use other social medias cuz i dont use twitter cuz i want to show u my cool scratch based pokemon!

Wow, that's a lot of the first fakemon. I wonder when he'll go to the second?

Yeah when they make them too complex it wouldn't translate well into animation or plushies, and that's one thing I try to remind myself when I design a Fakemon. Too many stripes, spikes, floating elements etc. makes it near impossible to make into merchandise or to animate it quickly for TV - but these are very beautiful all the same.

its cool how Rip-R-Jax is based on jack the ripper if not a bit too dark to have a pokemon based on him(presumably a him) also Rip-R-Jax could collect discarded clothing to hide their appearance its not like pokemon that wear objects dont already exist cough cough mimikyu

Thanks for featuring me at the end!! I can totally see how the proportions could be changed a little for sure :)

The term "Pokemon artist" make it sounds like you actually designed official Pokemon

5:06 The Pokémon's name right here can be called Poisona

Pls make pt 4

I just wanted to say, at 2:00 I think the fur tuft on the head IS supposed to represent fire, lol. But idk I didn't design it, and yeah it still is kinda hard to tell it's fire type

6:00 i think that if the pink pokemon’s off-white was a lot more saturated, i think it would fix the problem!!

it could be argued that the red and orange accents remind to fruits instead so its fine as a starter for a more tropical region, just like rowlet6

0:46 how did they do so good

4:27 dugtrio is currently glaring at you as you're saying this

What is multiple Pokémon being in the coat it’s an outer shell and the and it’s one Pokémon. It just gets smaller body parts.

Is there another way to participate in these events without twitter?

It'd be crazy if TrueGreen decided to critique popular pokemon-inspired games like those ones on Roblox, or something of the sort.

Love Ekirion. Would totally have that in my party.

The kids in a trench coat one makes me want a dark type falinks stacked up in a trench coat

Finally someone that point the major problem of Fakemon Overdesign! they are not bad, just overdesinged, looks almost like Digimon(I love Digimon but c'mon)
