What if Pokemon Had a 4th Starter? 

Oh, you mean Pikachu?

Never really thought about it, but bug type works quite well for a fourth starter, it's weak against fire and strong against grass, and neutral to water. Particularly works in Gen 1, weak to Charizard's flying and fire, and strong against Venusaur's Grass and Poison (under the Gen 1 match-ups)

When you realize for the first time today the starters have a common theme this whole time...

Jestibear gives me life. Also Gen 9 DID actually introduced a move that is just telling a bad joke--Chilly Reception--so that's even more fitting. For a signature move i could see one combining the effects of Follow Me and Recover--putting itself in the center of attention then eat the food they throw at it, making it be a bulky support Pokémon.

How is there little to no talk at all about the 4th sinnoh starter?😮 I felt and feel as though the design was the most realistic of the bunch, definitely my favorite by far 🎉🎊

I'm pretty confident that Mudkip is intended to be a mudskipper, a type of fish that's capable of going on land and is very well adapted to traversing land *also Triaptor's line is fucking awesome*

I like the Norse-inspired Starter for Gen 4, as I am a Norseman, but I also think Egyptian Mythology could work as it is, in my opinion, part of the big 3 Myths, Greek, Norse and Egyptian.

Thought it was just going to be a random Pokemon from the pool available already; very impressed by creating a new one for each generation.

For Cowly, I feel like it could've also been a Necromancer class, which is typically reserved as a class for dark or evil characters in RPGs, often times the main antagonist, so it'd be capable of raising onstructs made from clay and sediment, and infused with the souls that it steals away from other Pokemon it defeats, which would play into its signature move Horde Rush, a ghost type move that summons a substitute to protect it on the first turn, and if the substitute is not broken by an attack, on the second turn it will deal damage to the opponent, dealing more damage based on how many Pokemon are left still able to battle on your opponent's team, as well as dealing less damage based on how much damage the substitute took without breaking

For the Gordon Ramsay's Pokemon a signature move could be "Taste Test". If the opponent Pokemon is an 'ingredient' Pokemon the move does a fixed amount of damage the taste test while healing the user a small amount, and if the Pokemon isn't an ingredient type after the fixed damage taste test since it's bad the user yells at or makes the Pokemon eat the bad dish possibly causing food poisoning or being paralyzed!

For the Gordon Ramsay Pokémon, maybe it’s signature ability could be “Expert Chef.” If it’s given a berry to hold, it takes two turns to consume it once activated, but it’s effect is doubled. So if it was given a Sitrus berry, it wouldn’t activate until the turn after it goes below half health, but it would heal twice as much.

For Gesturebear I think I nice ability to have would be a signature ability named Gestkidding. Gestkidding: When using a sound based move, have a 10% chance to confuse all opposing pokemon. If move already has confusion as a secondary effect, Boost probability by 20%

Hey, Dobbs, I just wanted to point out... all of these extra starters *should* have consistent typing. In every generation, starter types are consistent.

I think some of them look out of place when compared to the other 3 starters, but overall, these look good, especially paldea. I love how the bear's final evolution has like red on the left side of his face, looks cool

Love the Thor goat so much! Super proud of that design and all of the others, hope everyone enjoy them

I always wondered what if GameFreak had added enough Pokemon in each generation (from gens 1 - 5) for it to be possible to make full teams of a certain type? And what if they were designed so that they could gain the newer types introduced later on? Like a cute looking two stage dragon type gaining the fairy type.

The second gen pokemon being a dinosaur gave me an idea. It'd be cool if there was a generation of Pokemon where the starters you choose from are actually "Fossil Pokemon" right? But instead of having the second typing of Rock like all fossils do, they were able to "improve the process" of reviving fossil pokemon and they were able to keep their "original typings". This is cool for three reasons: 1. Its a unique experience to say you're starting with a fossil type pokemon. Perhaps you are given a temporary pokemon to help protect you while helping a professor try to recover some fossils, whatever the region's basic bird or rodent pokemon is. Then once you get those fossils the professor allows you to choose one of them to be your starter. 2. This opens them up for doing variants of all the fossil pokemon. "True species" or something idk. And then if they wanted they could open it up to player preference whether they want pokemon to keep their rock typing or not in future games maybe. 3. It could be a cool tie in with pokemon Scarlet and Violet, basically implying that the tech that was created by the professor of those games was repurposed for fossil revival.

13:27 Ah yes. Fidough. My favorite Pokémon from Galar.

This was such a fun idea! Seriously some of the best concepts and art design I’ve seen in a while. The Sinnoh goat and Paldean bear are my favorites. Thanks for this!

For Jestibear, I think it's signature move could also work similar to Bug Bite. If the enemy has a held berry, Jestibear gets that berry thrown at it instead and takes its effect, for example, a thrown Cheri Berry would cure its paralysis if it was able to move through it or a thrown Chesto Berry wakes it up if the move was called via Sleep Talk. Also I wanna assume it's a Psychic-Type move as that seems appropriate. My D&D group always joke that bad puns deal Psychic Damage.

Jestebear's signature ability could be "Wise Crack". It'd make it immune to status moves like attract, Scary Face, Mean Look, Growl and so on as it'd be so caught up in it's own bad jokes it wouldn't notice any responses other than the tomato berries 😂

Not to be controversial but I think The Bipedal starters are fine. Just throw in a quadrupedal one in that game as well and every game the extra can switch between the two types of standing

honestly this was one of the last videos i watched of yours because of the over used title but this is way more unique than the other videos ive seen that use pokemon that are already in the game. love it!

Jestebear could have an ability called "Beary good" where if its holding a berry, its damage is increased and unnaffected by mental moves like attract and taunt.

11:12 Wait a minute... Disigueye is the hero, Incineroar is the villain, and primarina is the damsel in distress. IS THAT A MARIO REFERENCE!? Edit:I mean... Mario is the hero, Bowser is the villain, and peach is the damsel in distress.

Jestabear would be really cool. Also, potentially, the first Pokemon in the games that can speak like a human. I know there's Chatot, but Chatot's just a parrot, it doesn't understand what it says, Jestabear would

Great video Dobbs. Keep up the great work. Love your videos and personality.

I actually really like these concepts! I think sometimes you miss some opportunities, but I really think this one hit the mark!

So creative this was a great idea. Next video would be cool if you could turn starters into a different region mon. Like they did with hissuian mons

There should be regional variants of Kanto Starters: Bulbasaur line: Ground (later psychic as Venusaur) based on pyramids in Ancient Egypt Charmander line: Dragon (later fairy as Charizard) based on Medieval times and fairy tales Squirtle line: Ice (later steel as Blastoise) based on Icebergs Starter theme: Historical times

Jus love yo ideas fr n yo artist is sick wit it

Kabuk would have an ability called "Clear Plate" where it would do extra damage to any opponent holding a consumable item, such as a berry, or water/lemonade. It would only work once per battle, though.

Welp... We are now know what we choosing 😎🗿

"Will be the first flying-tyoe without wings" Gyarados and the forces of nature are in a corner crying now

These videos are soo good. Keep up the good work.

I'm sorry but these designs are... AMAZING! The bear and the goat are so freaking cleaver but i loved all the ideas i need them to be real now!

The alola theme was fast sounds familiar like he said aloha to the alola

Yay new video, been waiting

I LOVE the designs!!!

We need a vintendo collab dobbs please give us one🤌🤌

I personally think Galar has a second ‘theme’ or ‘sub-theme’ being the stages of life. Y’know, how they start as basically children, then become teenagers, then adults with careers.

OMG, I came into this video thinking it was going to be some random ideas thrown here and there. But DAAMMM. I was so pleasantly surprised. So much research and logic has been put there. I learned so much about existing pokemon and how they were created. This is really impressive.

I freaking love these!!!

Imagine Nintendo adding 4th starter to Pokemon after this

Kabuk would def just have an ability like: "exquisite meal" Double the positive effects of berries while in combat. maybe it can also work on his partner in a double battle

"The volcano that led the dinosaurs to extinction" That was a meteor, my guy. If you're talking about the one right before the Triassic, then sure, but the KT event was definitely a meteor strike

Holy Cow! Thats pretty neat!

Great video, great fan Pokémon. But I do have a problem with the fact that all of the 4th starters are all different types, it doesn't seem right to me that the other three are all the same type, but the 4th once isn't. Sure you could say that the 4th one will always be the wild card. But I think the 4th starter would be more believable, if they shared the same type across the generations.

SO GLAD THAT THERE'S MORE OF THIS I really do want more poketubers to create more of stuff like this and see what they can do with this concept. Also, I would think that the final goat evo would be able to fly with its hooves because its actually walking on electrons, quite like how goats can traverse in impossible inclines.

I find it hilarious how the middle stages are just real Pokémon. Also, I have an idea for Cubook. I’m going to call it Cooking Rage. If it holds a berry that would lower its stats or deal status conditions, it would throw it like Fling. Berries like Oran and Sitrus could raise attack by 1 stage.

Awesome video!

I'll watch this later bro 👍🏼

Actually, Gordon Ramsey is Scottish. Was was born in Scotland

I think that the fourth starter should have been something in the entire Mesozoic because tododile might represent the Dino like crocodilians in the Triassic.

6:26 “it will be the first flying type without wings” :Raygauza hold my beer

What If pokemon had no starters? [softlocked forever]

That'd be cool

Points for all the hardwork, thought, and originality to this premise instead of just taking easy cop-outs. Kudos!

I love this video keep it up dobbs

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!🥳🎉🎈🎂🎁🎊

Hi

6:12 Omg that looks dope! So amazing!

The first of your videos I’ve watched Subscribing

Man I’ve been doing so good in History and Science thanks to this video.

dobbs when making the fourth sinnoh starter: this is the first flying type with no wings tornadus: am i a joke to you?

This is BRILLIANT!! 👏

3:55 actually, Mudkip is a mudskipper. It still maintains the adaption theme, though.

This was very interesting and I like them all.

Dobb my dude, you out-did yourself! *Chefs kiss*

For Galar, why not base the 4th starter off of Rowan Atkinson? Possible typings: - Electric due to the two scenes in Mr. Bean where his mere presence caused TV Static - Grass because, well, Mr. BEAN. Need I say more? - Bug in honor of Man Vs Bee, and Mr. Bean's encounter with that bee

So glad you gave then their final evos too. Seen concepts like this before that only did the first stage which was disappointing.

That crab that evolved to have a Samurai head looking shell is the coolest nature fact I’ve learned about this year, which is saying something because I subscribe to multiple nature facts RU-vid accounts

Omg so good. You guys are creative. Next is a rom hack to get these guys playable

This was much more clever than initially expected

Most awesome vid!!!!!

These designs are really good!

For the galar starter, since it's mostly talking about Gordon Ramsey, it can have the anger point ability since he gets mad at his contestants

Nice concept! My favorite of the bunch would be the alolan one, and the Sinnoh starter would be the next.

A custom ability for the Ramsey lion could be: Whenever this pokemon is damaged by a fire move, it heals all status conditions. Basically, if food is cooked properly, it becomes safe to eat. Not sure what to call it. Maybe "Maillard". It's a more versatile version of Well Baked Body. Though, it could get that also. Alternatively it could have "Deglaze", which is the same as "Maillard", but for water type attacks.

The jokes alone earned a sub, time to fall into your channel and watch all videos.

A lot of his ideas...and the idea of a 4th starter sounds great and refreshing! I wish that pokemon would do this! 4 starters instead of 3!

"The first flying type without wings" Gyarados- "Am I a joke to you?"

Cool Video. Liked Gen 2 and 4 the Most

2:11 the volcano that made the dinosaurs go extinct 💀

'First flying type without wings' Gyarados: Am I a Joke To You?

Thanor IS SOO SICKK!!! Favorite of all of them! Though would have loved to have seen what you would have done if you did a starter based on Egyptian mythology

that is awesome!!!

To be clear, I'm using ChatGPT for punctuation. Any facts I state, I know; I'm just bad with punctuation. Sigh. But where, yes, volcanoes didn't help anything. Most of the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions were caused by, well, the meteor. After the meteor hit, all the debris that got ejected into space came back down into Earth's atmosphere, heating the Earth's surface to be around the same temperature as a gas oven for a couple of hours. So, no, a volcano didn't cause the extinction and the end of the era of the dinosaurs, my dude. If you want to cite the Jurassic extinction event, unlike most mass extinctions throughout history, the Jurassic one is still kind of up for speculation. Yes, there was increased volcanic activity, but also a meteor or comet hit Earth in that era too. Unlike the Cretaceous mass extinction, the Jurassic mass extinction event was multiple smaller extinctions that took place close together. As for the Triassic mass extinction, that had really little effect on the dinosaurs sense they first appeared in the fossil record around then. Now, it did have an effect on the overarching archosaurs and ether animals, but, yeah. If you want to know what archosaurs are (for those that don't know), it's the family of the dinosaurs and the surviving dinosaurs' avians, but also extinct and modern crocodilians like crocodiles, alligators, caimans, and gharial. For those wondering about lizards and snakes, they are also related to the archosaurs but in the morph Clade Archosauromorpha. Snakes and lizards broke off into the other archosauromorph, forming Lepidosauromorpha, which is made up of extinct species but two groups survived: Rhynchocephalia and Squamata. Rhynchocephalia has only one surviving species, the New Zealand tuataras. The Squamata are snakes and lizards, but back to the Archosauria. If you were wondering if pterosaurs/Pterosauromorpha are part of Archosauria, you are correct. To be exact, they are part of the Ornithodira subgroup of the clade Avemetatarsalia, of which Dinosauromorpha/dinosaurs are a part. I love dinosaurs and stuff like this about prehistoric stuff. For those wondering, I learned this when I was around 5-7ish. By the way, if someone wants to know about marine reptiles like the pliosaurs or plesiosaurs, they are not closely related to the archosaurs. Though a marine reptile, to be clear, Mosasaurus itself isn't closely related to other marine reptiles like the pliosaurs or plesiosaurs. The pliosaurs and plesiosaurs are part of Sauropterygians. To put it shortly, archosaurs and Sauropterygians are only related together under the class Reptilia. As for mosasaurs, they are part of the archosaurs, and their closest relatives are lizards in the order Squamata.

The "bullets" used by the British were called musket balls, they had been in use long before the American Revolution. The Spanish conquistadors used them when they landed in the Americas in the 1500s. So no, the Redcoats weren't among the first to use them.

Paldea's starters are in no way based off of spanish holidays, the region isn't based solely on Spain, it's based on both Spain and Portugal.

that would be my fav gen 2 starter! props to the artist

The first Pokemon without wings to fly- this guy *Rayquaza has left the chat*

That's goemons great adventure in the background!!!

Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :) Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu.

For the galar’s ability should be Devine Meal, an ability where it restores the opponent’s health by 25% but lowers their speed and gives them confusion.

These are some really cool sprites.

if I had a nickle for every what if there was a fourth starter pokemon from Sinnoh being an Electric type Goat based on Thor I'd have 2 nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice. This is a reference to the 4th starter vids by HoopsAndHipHop, he did Sinnoh about what 9 months ago? He also had a Thor Goat to go with the Sinnoh Trio.

answering how the goat was climbing that hill is because goats have adaptates his paws to climb areas that no natural predator could climb or go to a plant that normally wouldn´t hit and it hook like a hike tool wich is why goats can climb areas that would be impossible to us humans

The Paldea starters also have the theme that when they evolve they have an inverse weakness circle

For kabu, I have the ability name cook it. Ability is something like when foe pokemon try to use the berry ,kabu steal it and hold it and increasing berry power like if berry heal then it will heal 1.5x or if berry remove specific static condition it will remove any static condition on user pokemon. But this ability can only use 1-2 times only.
