We FIXED our Least Favorite Pokemon

They gave Jynx a hair cut, a belt, and a bra that fits, and sometimes that’s all a makeover really needs

I always love when Pokémon just use their babies as projectiles and giving Bombirdier a little evil one is just so much fun.

I gotta be honest here, I didn't even know Jynx had those spikes until this video. Now I can't unsee it

The points on Toxapex are so real, I hate how it gets smaller!! Amazing redesign

Delphox redesign is great BUT should've kept the face the same. it looks like a cat now

From the silhouette, I thought Bombirdier had a Vullaby, which I think would actually be a fun lore thing. Bombirdier kidnaps Vullaby and raises as their own, but the vullaby enjoy it because they are dark type. It would tie in the maid side of Bombirdier by making them a sort of nanny. To make it less dark, it could be that Bombirdier returns Vullaby before Mandibuzz notices.

Ngl, hearing "To little kids athletes are heroes" at 1:25:05made me like Leon's design in SW/SH more. I always thought the cape was a little much, but it really does fit in with the athletes being heroes to kids thing.

I love how June brings up the gmax forms and then bonny instantly brings up the raid screen. Absolute genius.

37:42 You’re blowing my mind. I’ve played every generation and never realized those were spikes and not just parts of the dress. Now THAT’S a detail I bet tons of people missed!

With the notion of Greek myth and Grumpig "The Manipulator" my mind immeadietly went to the story of Circe's Island. She manipulated Odyseus' sailors with her island and hospitality before turning them all into pigs

I don't know if it's the angle, but the new Delphox looks way more like a cat than a fox.

Bonney is the student who did a power point presentation in detail and the teacher going "he did more than I expected A+"😂. This was amazing

I'm honestly surprised about Delphox being underwhelming to so many of the artists, I honestly thought the more raggedy forest witch aesthetic was spot on. Just different preferences for type of mage I guess but I really prefer the more mystical "leading you down a dark dank staircase" vibe, especially considering the name.

For me, my problem with Rillaboom has always been it's color palette. Thwackey and grookey have this great grassy green that's complemented so nicely by the orange accents, but then Rillaboom comes along and it's just a standard brown gorilla color with the typical darker green bush accents.

OH. I didn't even realize Jynx had spikes on the dress :0 I just thought it was a weird looking dress lakjdflakjdf Everyone did so good! The redesigns were great! I particularly liked the Toxapex and Coalossal redesigns.

Virgo for me is a must. They're the only one occasionally giving non positive feedback. It feels like in these collabs everyone has to fawn over each others stuff but their insight was really interesting! (Even though I strongly disagree with their Cetitan redesign)

oh my god. I've been playing Pokemon since I was at least 4-5 and I NEVER noticed the "spikes" on Jynx's dress. I have ALWAYS read those as part of the dress in the background, but watching the 3D model move around, it becomes so uncomfortably obvious. I was always mid on Cetitian, but I absolutely LOVE quadrupedal Cetitian. Puppy Cetoddle makes me want to CRY I need him. That Gmax Coalossal is INSANE

It’s crazy to be featured in a video on a channel that I’ve been watching since I got into Fakemon, truly a Fakemon artist’s dream! Thanks so much to Subjectively for having me and I hope that people like my redesign choices! Cinderace was a bit scary! 😅

The redesigns were all very good, but also made me appreciate the original designs with all their tips. Overall incredible art. And I wholly blame the length of this video on Bonny.

Love these videos being super long- so the artists can talk about their designs for more than a minute or two, and gives us something to play in the background that'll last a while

I don't think I'll ever get over how genius the Coalossal redesign is.

ahhh a CLASSIC subjectively video

I have always been confused why Coalossal gets the hate it gets. Your redesign made me understand why. The redesign looks SO good and really showcases that lost potential.

1:19:26 I love how Vergo just IMMEDIATELY chimes in with what dinosaur Ron is trying to think of. 😅

Thanks Jack for having me in this collab! An honor and pleasure to be able to collab with you and the others; this end result came out so great and I'm proud of everyone's work!

that G-Max Coalossal integrates the concept of hypersizing a coal pokemon so well. If G-Max Snorlax can be an island then G-max Coalossal can be a mountain

I'm not done with the video yet, but it's absolutely cray how much jynx and cetitan have been improved. Jynx looks so cool, and my main problem with OG cetitan is how clunky it looked, it looked like it couldn't move. Now, cetitian looks like it could charge at me at 6pmph, it really makes the design more menacing

The quadrupedal cetitan redesign is literally perfection, i already loved the design, but with four legs its so much better.

Your Rillaboom having the drum chest and more gorilla proportions is better but IMO it would look better with the bush hair… The Punk motif is something I personally like within Rillaboom

I wanna give a take on Heatran's design that I feel is never brought up, and its that while I understand why people don't like how awkward it looks, I feel that awkwardness helps it stand out more Heatran is basically living molten slag. It's unrefined, awkward, ugly, has all those bumps of hardened air pockets on its limbs and this makes it a very unique design as both a legendary and heck as a steel type in general. Most steel types feel refined, purposeful, like they were built or molded into the shapes they have. Heatran isn't that and I'd say your redesign feels like what Heatran WOULD look like if you took it to the forge and let the blacksmith have at it, but I feel it looses some of that unique edge to it in the process. Now it just kinda feels like Fire/Steel Avalugg, and while I don't think that makes it a bad design (Avalugg is a cool looking pokemon and so is this design), I feel like Heatran stops being Heatran the moment you try to make it look refined because it's the only steel type that attempts to get across the idea of molten, unrefined metal (Fitting since, at the moment, its the ONLY Fire/Steel type in the franchise) Also, the irony of changing it from being the Heat Dome pokemon while putting a literal heat dome on its back is hilarious to me XD

As a non Pokémon fan who knows so very little about Pokémon in general… That stork redesign is so cute and funny to incorporate the actual babies to be in on the schemes 😂😂😂

Wow, that Heatran bit makes so much sense. Gen 4 has a severe lack of fire types, the Chimchar line being the only newly introduced fire type line. Magmortar is introduced too, but it's an evolution of an existing Pokemon. However, if Heatran had been a regular Pokémon, it would have made more sense, as then it would have been the go-to fire type for people who didn't choose Chimchar. Also, there is this weird area you can only access through backtracking, called the Fuego Ironworks. A foundry that's just in the middle of nowhere. Foundries work with molten metal. It would have been the perfect place to get a Heatran pre-evolution. But now it's just there. The only notable stuff you get there is a firestone and flamethrower. And you don't really get any pokémon that can use a firestone, except by trading. Still, it might not be true, but it would tie together so many weird oddities from Gen 4.

For the rillaboom, I love the redesign, I do prefer the face in the unfinished version at 15:41 though, it feels more expressive, while the finalised one looks more like a beak

That Coalossal redesign is absolutely stunning hello?? Definitely one of my favorite fakemon designs I've seen.

i mean there is an episode of the anime where a guy just has a Heatran and no one gives a shit lmao

"Who likes Jynx?" Look, I got Smoochum from my Odd Egg in Crystal and I couldn't just abandon my baby ok?? But that redesign is a Jynx I could actually love without nostalgia

I’ve been saying the same thing about Jynx’s spikes for years!! I truthfully believe that in the sprite it was meant to represent the back of her dress! You have no idea how glad I am someone else sees it 😭

Ron's Jynx redesign is one of the best Fakemon I've ever seen. Not just the design, but the execution is perfect Sugimori style too.

I'm one of June's #1 fans, in fact they're probably my favorite artist on RU-vid, which is why it's interesting that their Delphox is such a miss for me. First of all, I do really like the staff. While I liked the original stick too, I really like how June preserved the naturalness of a branch while still making it ornate and fantastical. It works so well. I am a huge fan of fantasy mages of all kinds, but especially witches and wizards, which are the biggest inspirations behind Delphox's design. As a nonbinary person, I love how mages get away from typical gender expectations: wizards who are men can still have long hair and long robes that look like dresses, and traditional witches don't need to look pretty, even though they're women. There's a lot of overlap in that department. I love designs that embrace that kind of ambiguity between wizard-like and witchy, almost like Gandalf the Grey, or animated Maleficent. I feel like Delphox is one of those designs, where the implied long robes with long sleeves appear androgynous. The white lower face and cheek tufts can be interpreted as facial hair, but don't contribute an overtly masculine element either, and the ear fur is like long hair, but more in a wispy, wild kind of way that implies age and eccentricity, rather than femininity. It is precisely the fact that the fur obscures the anatomy rather than highlights it that makes this Pokémon reminiscent of fantasy mages as well as shamans and wise folk from various cultures, while also giving that androgyny that is so unique for a humanoid starter. Delphox goes a step further by mixing bright yellow shoulder pads that give a refined wizard look with a dark, desaturated red robe that looks scraggly like stereotypical witch's clothes. All of this is to say, while I don't think that Delphox is a perfect design, most redesigns I see (including June's) intentionally remove all the aspects of the design that make me gravitate toward it, things that I thought actually enhanced the concept. It's not an easy balance to strike, since losing aspects of ambiguity can be as simple as adding definition, but I feel like people get so hung up on wanting more Braixen that they rob Delphox of its most defining feature, the robe. The open skirt look June gave their redesign removes the possible interpretation of it being a genderless article of clothing, or that Delphox is anything besides just a modern witch. I won’t say it’s an incorrect interpretation, as “dress” is a natural jump to make from Braixen’s implied “skirt”, but it is still only an assumption to say that it is a dress and only a dress, and any of it’s missing or non-dresslike qualities are a mistake by the designer rather than an intentional decision to enhance the concept. Most critiques I hear of Delphox, though, say that it's either too feminine or not feminine enough, and all redesigns I’ve seen either make the robe prettier and more dresslike or scrap it completely. Again, I don’t think Delphox is perfect, it probably could use a redesign, but all the ones I’ve seen look like Braixen X Mismagius, with none of Delphox’s personality or visual features, sometimes not even resembling it at all. A big part of it, like I mentioned, is just people’s love of Braixen. Some people even had the same reaction to Greninja, starkly preferring Froggadier, but Greninja has a very strong design, so eventually that fell to the wayside. It’s exactly as BonnyJohn describes later in the video with Carkol, people feel like they were promised something, and so their redesigns of Colossal (the train ones) would only just be what they wished Carkol evolved into, not being Colossal in any way besides name. With Braixen, though, I feel like it’s a little less justified. Just because a pokemon is cute and pretty doesn't mean it’s promising you anything for its later forms, as we’ve seen time and again, but I don’t think people want to accept a feminine design becoming unfeminine (which doesn’t make them sexist or transphobic, it’s just not what they’re used to). The second part of the problem with these redesigns could just be the ungenerous interpretation of “Delphox = just a witch”. Even though many see the Kalos starter trio as being themed after the classic warrior, wizard and thief adventuring trio, the idea of Delphox as a wizard isn’t given much thought. People are harsher on designs that they believe didn’t meet the brief, even if they don’t know what the “brief” actually was, or there was none to begin with. Where I think TrueGreen’s redesign of Aromatisse really improved, and what sets it apart from other Aromatisse redesigns, is that even though he thinks plague doctors are cool, he recognises that the purpose of the original design was to be can-can dancer first with plague doctor only subtly implied, so he wasn’t fighting with the original design the whole time. As a long time TrueGreen7 fan who knows Ron has a lot of opinions on Aromatisse, I feel it was a good decision on his part to set that aside, which helps not to alienate original Araomatisse fans and gives the design a professional feel. That isn’t to say emotional designs and unprofessional looking designs are bad or anything, I’m just impressed with his work and using it to help articulate my personal opinion, that attempting to meet the original brief of the design rather than your first impression or opinion of the purpose of the design makes the concept stronger. If more people picked up on Delphox’s wizard and shaman undertones, we might have more diverse redesigns. Even if you only care about the most official inspirations, you might design Delphox to look like a fox spirit or a kitsune-mochi (fox witch from japanese folklore), but no one ever cares about injecting more japanese folklore into Delphox, they only ever care about injecting more femininity and western witchiness (at least from what I’ve seen). That brings me to the 3rd reason I think people always redesign Delphox in the same way and it never hits for me: people design from what they know and what they’re used to. Androgyny is very uncommon for humanoid designs, and Delphox is definitely a humanoid design. Yes, June is also non-binary, but they enjoy using traditionally feminine aesthetics in their art. While I too love pretty witches and sexy witches, I don’t like the idea that all witches have to be cute, pretty or sexy, or that a witch can’t also be a wizard at the same time. I feel represented by the original Delphox, something that’s rare, even if it doesn’t look as appealing as it could if it just looked like the redesigns. While I’d love it if there were a hundred pretty western witch Pokemon, we already have Mismagius, and we only have one Delphox. That’s really what I’ve been trying to say with this entire comment, that I just wished there was someone who would highlight or even just appreciate the unique aspects of Delphox: it’s ambiguity regarding its wizardness and witchiness, and its androgyny, rather than erasing that and making Delphox something else. I didn’t even mention the ambiguity between good and evil: while June and many other redesigners give Delphox an overtly mischievous or flirty expression, Delphox’s expression in their official key art is much more subtle. Much like an old folk in a cottage in the middle of the woods at night, there is no way to tell from first approach whether they will be a kind and wise guide or a sinister hag. While Gamefreak probably just gave it that personality because they didn’t want a sinister starter evo, it unintentionally marries the concepts of traditional witches and traditional wizards quite well. Like I said at the top of this comment I find June’s design interesting, I’m still glad I got to see it. While it’s not my cup of tea, it helped me realize all the things that I like about Delphox, and I think setting Delphox aside, it could have been a pretty good evolution for Braixen. June, Jack and the rest inspire me to draw all the time, now they’ve just inspired me to make my own Delphox! Tl,Dr: Delphox should keep the fur robe, in my subjective opinion ; )

If Jynx looked like that I would actually use it. That's sick

Heatran got SUCH a swaggy resdesign. I love the dumpiness of the old because it's relatable. But the design is just so cool

While Jynx and Valkyrie inspiration makes sense, theres actually another step to it. It was based on opera singers that wears the valkyrie armor, hence the pose. Feel kinda sad to see that's gone. Also, didn't see anyone mention this yet but Heatran reminds me of the infamous Demon Core

Markiplier is going to have fun with the new delphox 😅💀

I love Pokémon redesigns cause if people don't like the original they can make it how they want it to look with amazing ideas

Heatran went from very natural looking to extremely artificial looking. With the lore changes on top it feels like a completely different Pokémon to me rather than a redesign.

I think my main problem with the heatran re-design is that it looks to sleek. It looks more like a cooler volcanion

“If a Pokémon is supposed to be sexy, it should be sexy” Lowkey, didn’t think I’d hear a sentence like that from Ron of all people but here we are I guess

the way the new coalossal is rendered reminds me a lot of the animation references official pokemon artists use, i love it so much

I don’t think the normal Delphox design is perfect but I think I prefer it’s original with the new staff over the new one in it’s entirety. The clothing is too much for me, it reminds me of a Mega design more than a redesign.

Really love the grumpig redesign. It was always a pokemon i kinda ignored, but your redesign has so much personality that it would likely be among my favourites

58:11 “hope u like choo choo trains” got the most devilish cackle out of me before immediately getting blown away by that G-Max form, holy shit These look fucking fantastic yall, great work! Special shout-out to June, thank you for giving Delphox the love they deserve haha

I was really nervous about seeing the Toxapex redesign; it is one of my favorite pokemon from that generation. So when I heard about it not being cute enough... that scared me, but the reveal. Yes! Love it!

I honestly really love regular Delphox. I think it could use probably some ajustment to the ear shapes and a model that retains the pose and personality of the 2D art but otherwise I love it! Probably my favorite final evolution next to Empoleon and Hisuian Tyflosion. I love how much weight the fur dress has, like a wild witch draped in dramatic robes that contrasts with their small lithe hands and narrow face. I really appreciate the concepts of the redesign, but not so much the execution or the personality if that makes sense.

I thought the full Mazah Pokedex was the longest edited video for you to make. I never been happier to be wrong. Always excited to see some of my favorite Poketubers in one place, especially since Ron posted "4 Artists Design a Pokemon From the Same Description 9" with Jack in it. This is a great day! 😁

Just had the thought that we should totally see a galarian Lugia. Weve got the bird trio, we need their master to get a regional form!

I definitely love the Toxapex and Grumpig redesigns, they're probably my favorites from the video. Delphox is up there too but I think its muzzle should be a little more extended a la normal Delphox's, as its muzzle in the redesign looks more cat-like than fox-like. I think my least favorite redesign for this is Heatran. Like, I can understand where Bonnie is coming from with it, but their design for Heatran just looks weird to me. Its jaw especially looks like it can't even shut.

Almost an hour 30 minute video of edited Pokemon takes? Hell yeah

Mr Bonny John went so hard with the Coalossal redesign and even the G-Max!!! But June has the best line in any video with, “Greninja F#@$s” 😂🤣💀

I just wanna say I watched part of this video on my break at work and now my shift is over but I have an errand to do, but the feeling I got when I remembered I could finish watching this video later was so good🥺 like it just makes me so happy that I get to watch

I don’t usually like fan redesigns because in most cases they miss parts of the origins of the Pokémon but you guys did an amazing job!! I loved the majority of these. Also Jack as someone who watched your old videos about redesigning Pokémon and didn’t like them it’s really telling how much you’ve grown as an artist and I’m really glad I’ve revisited your channel a couple of years ago

Love how Vergolophus’ redesigns don’t change major design aspects/concepts, but rather builds on them in a more fantastical way. It’s also that you left a majority of the design alone and just fixed some minor features in a major way

While I COMPLETELY get wanting to have Rillaboom beat his chest like a drum instead of beat a drum having it A. Look like nipples and B. Not fit with the fact that the other starters final evolutions have an object they're associated with (the soccer ball made of fire and the gun made of water) is probably why they went with the actual drum. Plus it's just a little more interesting that he has drum sticks and a drum he conjures using grass magic rather than being a bog-standard chest beating gorilla. Extrapolating and abstracting the concept of a gorilla beating its chest into a gorilla beating a drum is a core part of interesting design and it let's them do the drummer hair you said you weren't a fan of and it works with Rillaboom. Your version, although I understand the fantasy, is really just an actual real-life gorilla with nothing inherently interesting or majorly different about it and that would've made for a more boring starter - it's a great design though, I love it, and I agree he should've had thumbs on the feet how'd they even mess that up. ALSO I TOO really want a chest-beating gorilla Pokemon. Hopefully we'll get the Flamigo treatment (I love Flamigo).

I know you wanted to make the face longer for Grumpig, but the expression with the eye shape and even the overall head shape made me immediately think of Salandit. The rest looks great. I really like the emphasis on the pearls and making them look more like jewelry as well as the incorporation of the spring-tail. I like that Delphox is more gender ambiguous than the very feminine original. While I agree the stick should have become a wand or staff, the one here (while amazing) is a bit too complicated for just being a stick in the prior evolution. Maybe tighten it up and make it more akin to the classic stylized club/shillelagh kind of staff wizards have. I'm so sorry. I know that new Jynx is supposed to be beautiful and cool, but the lips read as an eye to me and the gold lining around its breasts as lips, so I saw a frog with a wig! And now I can't unsee it. I'm just glad it doesn't have a complete, giant male reproductive organ on its front anymore. Yes! Quadruped Cetitan is a major improvement! Gives it a proper lumbering force vibe instead of an awkward bulk that's about to fall over! And Bombirdier with the chick is a really nice touch! While I'd like to evolve the chick, the Kangaskan vibe is just great as well. Maaaaaaaaaan! That lore for Heatran and its dormant form got me so hyped! But the final design was just as awkward as the original. It looks like a mid-tier enemy from Megaman NT. The jaw is so disconnected and dangling that it doesn't read as part of the mouth. It's body is so smooth and inorganic like a robot, and the perfectly sliced semicircle back is giving it the same problem as Avalugg.

The Coalossal and Delphox reimaginations are absolute perfection, holy crap. Absolutely chef's kiss, both are some of my favorite designs I've seen!

Ok....hear me out.....the Bombirdier redesign with Parental Bond would have actually been cool for the titan battles cuz YES it would be a tad bit busted and hard but at the same time it gives us two titan pokemon that technically have a partner. The final titan was technically Tatsugiri but due to it's ability and connection to Dondozo we got as arven put it "A two for one Meal" so imagine facing a Bombirdier with it Babomb chick (yes I am calling the chick a Baby Bomb which is a good signature move name) that has hightened states and a crazy signature move that gets boosted by parental bond and the hurba mystica boost.....THAT'S A FUN, COOL AND CHALLENGING BATTLE TO BE HAVE

The Bombirdier design is by far one of my favorites! In addition to Parental Bond, I like the idea of it having Population Bomb, but in the sense it’s dropping it’s chick in battle. I know that’s Maushold’s signature move, but it would work so well here!

I had been following Truegreen for years before I had found you I love the way you two bounce off each other, being so utterly chill

Its great to see you guys are taking the lore and what the pokemon are inspired by into account now. Its cool to see how much you've improved as artists since you've started.

Just gonna jot down ideas as I watch. This is gonna be really long: Grumpig: I like the sleezy expression and more interesting face shape, but the pearl motif still feels underutilized. Giant pearl+psychic makes me think carnival fortune teller or some other sort of street artist conman, and a double meaning for "manipulator" could be in how it manipulates the giant pearl(s). How about we remove the black orbs on the body and instead turn Grumpig into a contact juggler. It holds three giant pink pearls that it mysteriously manipulates in its hands, or rolls across its arms and shoulders, enticing passerbys to stop and be entranced as if they can see visions of their future in the moving orbs. All the while Grumpig is smugly hypnotizing them. Rillaboom: My gut reaction is that the drum chest was just too "flesh colored" and too areola-like, but it's slowly grown on me by the end of the segment and seems fine. Of the available colors, I probably would have defaulted to green as the furthest from real-world skin tones, but as the focal point of the design you really want it to stand out. Mixed feelings, I can't come to a conclusion. As a side thought, I really dislike real Rillaboom's hair because it feels like a noticeable turn in design philosophy to make pokemon easier to render in 3D. They could have been much more organic and floral with the leaves, but instead we get geometric ball. Toxapex: The changed perspective on the key art alone really elevates this design, and I'm inclined to agree that the original doesn't properly convey a sense of scale. It looks like the body has shrunk rather than the head growing. No notes, it's just slightly better in every way without any significant redesigning. Delphox: This is starting to feel a bit overdesigned. On the animal to furry scale, this is pushing the edges of how much anthropomorphism I care to see in pokemon, in addition to tool use and implied clothing. I'd like to see this design with more animalistic proportions in the face and posture, perhaps combining a more feral hunched body with the concept of an older and wiser witch using their staff as a walking stick. Aromatisse: I can't put my finger on why, but I always read Aromatisse as a bug pokemon. I'm glad that this redesign brings it back in line with the bird-ish design language of the plague mask. Not sure about the little Marlon Brando / Jotoro hat, though. It feels a little out of place and doesn't serve to push any of the established themes. Perhaps something more in line with a pillbox cap with lace veil would better accompany the concept of perfumes and femininity. Jynx: I hate everything about the original, and almost anything would be an upgrade. Under all the ugly, I always associated the original with western opera and never knew the proper inspirations. This redesign does a good job of conveying the ice typing and origins, but I worry that it appears too much like a levitating ghost type. It's better, but I still can't like Jynx. Cetitan: Four legs better. I feel that it's lost a sense of scale in the translation, though. Something about the original's bolbous head in the key art makes it feel more titanic as the name implies, and I like my whale pokemon to be big. For the four-legged variant, I'd like to see the legs slightly smaller in proportion to the body to imply a larger and more lumbering overall scale, something that can still run and walk but would much rather slide down with an avalanche. The proportions in the video would make a fabulous middle evolution to a more exaggerated final form. Bombirdier: Man I dunno. Kangaskhan is already weird in pokemon evolution terms, but is fine with they established pokemon canonically "growing up" without actually evolving. I guess I like this idea, and the adult form isn't really redesigned so I can't critique that part. It's good, I think. Man why did I commit to giving my two cents on all of these? This is tiring. Anyway... Coalossal: I too hate this one. Particularly the way it is designed to have a precarious pile of loose material on top that feels completely wrong and static in motion, and which doesn't really add anything to the overall design. It's just a pile. With the redesign, I'm liking almost everything, but that inverted chimney stack is still giving similar awkward energy as a precariously attached extension. It doesn't feel like it would stay attached in motion. I'd like to see it more firmly attached and more obviously cylindrical like a proper chimney for smoke. Though, if I had my way, I'd redesign the whole line to make the industrial nature much more obvious and go full train monster. Heatran: I really like the dormant/mountain phase of the redesign, and almost wish it stayed there. Take that mountain, and give it legs and a head that are smaller in proportion to the body than Heatran's original design to emphasize the sense of scale. In the actual final redesign, the attachment between head and body is awkward, and the body feels strangely UNDERdesigned for a legendary. It needs a bit of smaller detailing inside of the large panels of color to give a better sense of scale and push that legendary feel. Marowak: I'm glad that this redesign had the underjaw that implies a head underneath the skull. My biggest gripe with original Marowak is the weird fused skull-head despite the implication that Cubone is wearing a skull that should fit inside the final form's head. I'm glad that they chose not to overdesign by matching it to modern standards. Overall I think this is a very successful redesign, but as far as the weapon goes I wish that it still felt believably scavenged and not like a crafted weapon. Something like a stretched axe-shaped scapula or a scythe-shaped rib bone, instead of one that is distinctly built out of multiple parts. Cinderace: I agree with every issue that artist made about the original, but I'm not sold on the solutions above the waist. The fire crest and poncho are still not giving me athletic energy so much as angry martial artist. I would have liked to see the body fur sculpted to be more jersey-like, and have the hairband motif of Raboot further extended into perhaps a trailing headband of fire. Every thing below the waist is a success, though, and the rocket feet feel obvious in hindsight, like Conderace should have had those in the original design. Phew.. Why did I do this to myself?

It ain't easy being a Delphox enjoyer

i love how long this video is !!! i was worried at first, but im loving that each person has 2 designs! and the amount of detail you all put into these is really cool! i feel like im learning a lot about character design!!

Yes more redesigns please. Jynx, Coalassal, Bombirdier and Cetitan were my favorites.

Seeing Bilsu literally everywhere makes me so happy s2s2

It's so refreshing to see redesigns not from the notion of fixing terrible ones but polishing what is already full of potential! Quadrupedal takes make most of the mons I dislike immediately more familiar and friendly to me. :) Great job guys

Something they could've done with Rillaboom was keep Thwackey's ponytail stick thing. Huge hair tucked into a ponytail just barely containing it with the drumsticks alone feels like theres more personality

These all turned out amazing, I love them all tbh. They're beautiful and thoughtful designs and it was a blast to hear all the creative design choices and see the processes for every one. Awesome video 💖

One critique: you should show the full new design even during the drawing portion. Everyone talking about the design while I'm unable to see it and only see the process feels bad and make me want to skip ahead to where I can see the finished design again

I don’t normally fall in love with redesigns or fakemon but this new coalossal would be a top 10 for me if it were real, especially with that gmax

Love love loved this vid ❤️I subscribed all those years ago for pokemon redesigns, and it's back! It's a longer vid but every second is engaging, thank you guys!

I love all these re designs. Colossal always felt weird to me. It felt like more like a fire rhydon to me. This makes it so much better and its own creature. Game Freak just needs to hire you guys!

That sponsor gives off massive scam energy.

BonnyJohn is built DIFFERENT lmao, he puts so much effort in every time it's so respectable

So happy to see this series return! I've been a fan since the beginning, so I got a big hit of nostalgia when I saw this in my feed. As a fan of the original, I had a few ideas come to me while watching: - I'd really like to see a return of the collective brainstorming, rather than the "show and tell" format. I love to see everyone's individual styles and perspective, but having them all mesh together through group discussion really makes the collaboration "collaborative," for lack of a better word. Also, the individual's taste can be seen in their respective channel, whereas the clashing of opinions, building upon one another's ideas, and the shared creative process is unique to these videos, and one of the most enjoyable elements of the original series. - I'd also like if there were a little more editing to show what you guys are talking about when you're discussing specific comparisons between the new and the old designs. (19:58, for example). All of that aside, I loved the new video and I'm looking forward to the next one!

I honestly don't mind the redesign of Delphox. Delphox was one of my faves from Gen 6, but felt like there could've been a bit more to it. Seeing this redesign of it really puts a smile on my face!

I SO AGREE WITH JUNE, I loved Mareanie and Toxapex, but I never truly liked Toxapex's design!! I couldn't ever put my finger on exactly why, but I totally understand now! It really does feel like the body strunk, the second layer of body really does help soo much! AND DELPHOX it's so boring 😭 the dress is so lame, it's a wizard mage, it should be so much more ethereal and interesting!!

"bro is just ugly" is such a good critique 💀💀💀

Love this content! There so many that I've felt this about for so long. It's nice to see people who 'can' actually do what I've felt necessary

I love the heatran redesign absoulutely in love with it

I adore heatran's redesign, but I feel the same way about it looks too godlike. However I still think it can work in a different method: it's the ancestor to the Heatran, or a primodial evolution/similar the ancient paradoxes.

I can't believe it's already been 5 years since those original pokemon fix videos! I remember watching them back in the day, so seeing this collab video is such a treat 😭 Everyone did such a good job with their designs!

So excited to see you and Bilsu working together, I’ve been watching you both for a while and I clicked do fast the moment I saw the thumbnail. All the Pokémon in this turned out great.

Clicked this video purely out of spite for Grumpig, it is also my least favourite Pokémon and seeing it clowned on in the thumbnail brought me immense joy

I love the cetitan and cetoddle redesign! OG cetitan looks like it's powerful and cool, but the redesign keeps that while losing how stationary it it. this one looks like it can come and GET you. bombirdier is also fantastic! I love the motion doodles they did. Ginjaninja and Vergolophus are SO RIGHT with all their redesigns! would love to see them here again.

I absolutely loved most of these designs. Heatran was probably my favourite change, but I’m sorry, I love Delfox as she is. 😂. I’ll wear that one. Such a great job everyone!

This was an incredible video! Please do more like these! I watched it while I worked and go so enthralled i had to pause and come back later!

The Cetitan and Bombirdier redesigns give me life! Especially the quadrupedal Cetitan and Cetoddle. I want them both as plushies.

Seeing this refined-metal tall turtle-shaped Heatran gave me a new appreciation for the OG, molten metal unique to its dual typing and what I can only describe as undisclosed amphibian vibes. The dormant form is dope as hell though, and is a really stand-out detail that the original could have benefitted from. My headcanon is that the 5'7" is just a young Heatran who hasn't taken in enough molten materials to increase in size, or didn't have a large enough environment to really flourish- for example, ones residing in the planet's core would have more materials/room to grow than a volcano, but also wouldn't be seen by humans. The static nature of its design, the magma texture not looking flowy, definitely seems like an oversight.

That Cetitan redesign is so cute I think I might cry. All you did was give it an extra pair of legs! AND I LOVE IT!

The only thing I’d change about jacks rillaboom design, (other than maybe swapping the boob drum colours around to imply drums a lil more xD ) is I’d give it that rocker mane but halo it around the head like a lions mane as though it’s got a hedge/bush hood, and then the drumsticks can stick though like a hairpin
