Redesigning YOUR Fakemon - Fan Submitted Pokémon 

PART 2 is out NOW - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iDVASgLDBgw.html

Guys! The drawing I used as an example of a “bad” design was an intentionally bad drawing I found on google. It’s not a submission. You’re crazy if you thought I would embarrass a fan like that. Anybody who thought that must leave a LIKE as punishment ;)

I love how you give constructive criticism to the submissions. You don't give too many compliments, which tends to give off the opposite impression, and you say exactly what you mean while still being kind and emphasizing the strong points of the art.

I missed this when it dropped, and I'm honestly in shock. I'm honored to see Shockalope reimagined by you, Ron.

Bismoth is so amazing, props to the original artist. Also holy shit I wish it were real, imagine bug/steel one of the best types in the game, then it also has an evasion raising ability making it an excellent weather mon, and based on its design and overall look I would imagine it learn a move like quiver dance, which lets just say those 3 things would make this mon busted!!!

Pls make this a series like all of these designs are so good and creative, I could never

I can see Shockalope being a Pikachu clone for a region. Prior to Legend Arceus, I agree with Pokemon design should be streamlined and cutesy. After Origin forme Dialga and Palkia, I'd say anything goes plus Pokemon seems to be more and more humanoid ever since XY.

Congrats to the winners & honorable mentions! Y’all came up with some solid concepts, and Ron killed it with the renders! I might make a more polished render of my entry, but I’m glad I participated. And to everyone: let’s keep creating art. We can only improve if we keep at it.

Shoutouts to the original design of Beetya, I really, really love it. It gives off an incredibly specific vibe to me: A secondary antagonist in a late 90s/early 2000s anime comedy that'd be aired with an unfortunately cheap dub on Spanish TV on Saturday morning. I grew up watching those shows and love them to this day, so it has this nostalgic-but-new feel to it that really works for me.

i hope this turns into a series. this and the other series you recently made with co-fakemon artists are really great contents. keep it up guys! would definitely want to join in once i have enough time to draw.

So nice you drew Ari's pokemon! I really hope they enjoyed it!

Gotta say, I'm loving this redesigning series. Hope we get to see more!

With the ability iridescent and the type bug/steel, Bismoth can take advantage of any weather condition. Defensive buff in sandstorms, evasive buffs in normal and sunny weather, and it’s only weakness can’t hit was hard in rain. It seems like a really cool Pokémon for battle

Another cool thing about a series like this is seeing how different people would interpret a premise. My first impression of Shockalope would've been to make its horns into a taser-like shape that conducts electricity between them, but the idea of having a Pokemon simply have electricity emanating from it all all times does lean more into the fantasy that Pokemon has established.

Tons of great designs! Shockalope is adorable and I absolutely love the concept of Bismoth. A+ to all the perfectly punny names too!

I made a fakemon with the same Bismoth pun, mine was a regional varient of frosmoth though. While working on it I found that same artwork you reworked!

The BEETboxing pun is SO GOOD! I love a good pun

Even though none of my designs got in, seeing other people’s whose I saw get submitted in real time is still super cool.

i love truegreen for this, he's so nice! and he's doing this to give people the joy that he never got as a kid artist! and he even told the people that he rejected that its only because they were already perfect! isn't that the sweetest?

Small fun fact: "Sra. Miau" (the first honourable mention designer) is pronounced "Señora" Miau, not literally "Sra". Sra. is a shorter version of Miss in Spanish and Portuguese, just like Mrs. for English :)

Bismoth looks awesome and may be my favorite (though that might just be my Steven Universe fanatic talking), but these are all great and I love the video concept in general! Videos where you get to be a part of them are always my favorite, and I'm looking forward to pt. 2! Good luck to everyone who submitted :)

I just discovered your channel this week and have watched it every single day. I’m in love with your art and love seeing ways to improve my own fakemon designs!

My idea for a Shockalope evolution would be a kangaroo with these huge lightning antlers. I think it'd work because kangaroos already look like rabbits and are associated with boxing so the fighting type would make sense.

Damn. “ones that weren’t good enough to begin with” is pretty harsh. I hope that doesn’t discourage anyone. You did your best, and that’s great that you tried and submitted! Keep at it and your art will improve, creativity has no limits ❤️

This is actually such a cool idea for a series. Loved all you're previous art videos and am excited to see what's next

I love Beetya so much! Such a good redesign and so colourful/cute!

This has to be one of the Top 5 best videos you've ever made. I can't stop re-watching it over and over. Not only are you super talented with your art but, people are so creative with their designs. I especially loved Bismoth line as the concept and designs were genius and clever. It's great to see you redesign fakemon from your fans and congrats to the creators who got their fakemon shown in this video, including the honourable mentions

I loved this video, definitely need a part two. All of the designs were amazing!

Another strong set of designs, Ron! You've got some really talented fans who really helped finish this race with you! The way I see it, they passed their batons and you finished the race! I'm particularly fond of Beetya and Bismoth, and as always, enjoyed the extended lore that accompanied the work. Great job everyone!

i really love your artwork! i've been watching you for like a year now, zero regrets! can't wait for part two!

This is so good !! please keep this series!! it's so fun seeing fan artworks being redesigned by you!! like always, awesome content!

I just love Beetya! You nailed it's design man, Congrats!

I love this! I hope it becomes a new series

I’m hoping this becomes a series. You did a fantastic job redesigning these fakemon. I hope the original creators were really happy with your designs overall! I plan on participating in the second part once it’s announced ^^

I really love what you've done with these designs. The ideas themselves were already incredible, but the small steps it takes to look like an actual pokemon is so impressive. The changes may be really small, but it makes such a huge difference.

Ahhh I love this series! You are really great at simplifying concepts and making them more coherent. As an artist I tend to overcomplicate things so I find it hard to design Pokémon!

Ooh here’s a video idea. You should design fakemon for all the type combinations that don’t exist yet (ground fighting / fire grass / fairy dragon)

Woah what? This is super helpful for design, actually. Great work, dude

I like these designs, keep up the great work! Looking foward to the next video!

Your videos and your art are really amazing, keep up the great work!

Can't wait for more episodes of this, keep it up!

one of your best videos of late Ron, and they've all been consistently amazing so that's a high bar -- keep up the good work! I especially appreciated the decision to update a kid's drawing, I want a Taphoon on my team --- nicely done.

These were very cool that everyone sent in. Keep up the good work

I’m excited! Just added my submission. I hope it shows up! I’m also loving those designs, congrats to those whose designs you choose.

This is such a nice series would be interesting if you did maybe a spin off version where you either draw an evolutionary line or drew an evolution or prevolution to a design you liked. Keep up the amazing work

I would totally use Bismoth, Shockalope, shiny Beatya and Taphoon. Good job to the original artists.

Both the originals and redesign are great, I’ll definitely submit for part 2, I’ll have to think of which one to submit though, probably one from the first half of my dex

Ron you would be an excellent teacher, and I already want to come up with something to submit because of how much your work inspires me and how much I love Pokemon. Excellent critiques you provided as well

It is super awesome that you are doing this! Some people may have the coolest ideas for Pokémon, but not the artistic talent to do it justice.

Wow that was super cool! Kind of funny how 3/4 were puns in some way. Taphoon is very good as well

Love your art! One thing i would love to see is "Monster allergy"'s mosters as pokemon, even though they already look kinda pokemon-y.

These are some of the best designs yet. TG7 does such a good job replicating that gen 6 style imo.

I can see Bismoth being banned in OU because of its Bright Powder ability and a lack of Fire-Type moves that bypass the accuracy check

loved this, definitely make it a series

This was very fun to watch and I’m sure the guys who submitted their designs got really happy

Honestly, these are some incredibly creative designs. Fantastic job guys

I love your video’s! You inspired me for making my own Fakemon!

I would love a part two. I would love to see you tackle my final evolved form of my water starter for my Deleo region.

I really loved the concept for Bulldoze, a great punny pokemon, I love ground types which are more animal like such as Hippowdon, Ursaluna etc.

Definitely do a part 2 This is amazing

National Park in the background was so nice, what I find interesting about it is that in HGSS the music sounds exactly like the styles from BW even more than other pieces in the soundtrack.

Just some constructive criticism: With most of your designs/redesigns, I feel as though the mons are very balanced. Like with Beetya, the fists, head, torso, legs, and leaf are all the same size. If you were change the proportions a little, we could really see the emphasis on that fighting type. With Bismoth, I loveddddd the size of its wings in the original design. Now with your redesign, it looks like the wings are underdeveloped which doesn’t make it feel like a fully evolved mon. Hopefully, this helps when you design more!

This really warmed my heart :)

5:39 omg! A real BEETboxer Pokémon…get it?..no….alright tough crowd

That Taphoon you drew is giving off some big time BADGER! BADGER! BADGER! energy.

Man your art inspired me I need to follow your stuff where I can

Daaaaamn, now i wish i got this memo. I had an old journal with around... 50-90 pokemon designs? I don't quite remember. But i do wish i could retcon that thing and turn it into some huge, genuine project

All the artist original pokemon where amazing, and i love your pokemon videos and it inspired me to make my own region pokemon friend or foe, or the tidalan region

A beetroot pokémon? Happy Dwight Schrute noises

Love the video, just submitted my design for part 2 😁😁😁

loving everything about this!

Tempting me to make a Twitter, I’d probably show off my rabies Pokémon Neuroyte. It’s a ghost ground mangey coyote design that’s part of a split evo you get it by having the pre evolution get knocked out by a Neuroyte making contact with it which in turn puts a piece of the evil spirit possessing Neuroyte inside the pre evo. As a result the pre evo loosing most of its free will becoming a prisoner in its own body and evolves into its decrepit form and is filled with rage and aggression towards everything even its trainer. However if the trainer doesn’t give up and still shows compassion towards Neuroyte their bond can become stronger than the evil spirit and Neuroyte can unlock the memories it had with its trainer and gain control over itself once again

I would absolutely love to see your take on the pans/simi line - if they had a third evolution :D

If I had Twitter I would definitely submit my final evolution or my route one bug. It’s a bug fire type. Based on dragon flys andfire flys.

These are really cool designs great job

I LOVE Shockalope! 😍 It's so cute! It's my favorite!

After TrueGreen7 is finished with his version of Derbit, the original version looks like a mega-evolution kind of TG7's.

This video is so good I love all the designs

Please do more of these, you really nailed the Pokémon art style!! Also sad now because Shockalope isn't a real Pokémon

Dude that with Beet Boxing was so good ! pokemon often does this kind of things ! and the desing was on point !!!

You could make a video on how would be the pokemons you created fighting each other, if some would form any type of team etc. I'm not a fan of the pokemon series nor games, but your content is pretty cool to me.

Damn, these look so good and like real Pokemon! Amazing job

Unfortunately I'm not strong enough for Twitter But these are pretty neat~ Loving the fact that there are honorable mentions too because so many people have great ideas and are super talented :2 Always great seeing different ideas and what people come up with you know

A great video as always!

I absolutely love the concepts of Bismoth, Uluroo, and the Jackalope one. The Bismoth line is 100% my favorite 🥰

This new series seems realy interesting.

This is a great idea! Please do more!

yaaaay! i’m gonna submit some! this video idea is so cute

This inspires me so much, someday I’ll do something just like this!!! 🤩

nice drawing ron!

Super cool video! Looking forward to more :)

Sir, Thanks for the advice! I wished to draw like Sugimori styled modern drawings.

Hey there, I'm the artist for Powtage, one of the honorable mentions!! Thank you so so very much for including them in the video, even as little as you did! I'm improving already, and am currently designing a Grass-Type that is MUCH more Pokémon-y! Congratulations to the winners of today's video, and best of luck to those submitting for the next!

Both Beetya are a lot of fun! Enigmon has a lot of cool mon to check out

Can't wait for part 2!

Omg! This need to be regular series

You truly are the best Ron

Taphoon was a cool idea, I'd totally have one of those if it was real.

im making my own pokemon region and one is Janglebell, its a cactus mixed with jesters and loves to play pranks, i love the design

The “Pokémon style” became more flexible when the ultra beasts were introduced
