Legendary Scorbunny just screams "Scorbunny and Mewtwo's twisted offspring" for some reason, imo. I can only imagine what a legendary Cinderace would look like with some resemblance to Deoxys and Mewtwo. (maybe make it Fire/Psychic and sprinkle in references to G-Max Cinder in there, too? Hell yeah, buddy!)
I'm using your chespin to make a fakemon Im putting in my future game Dirtmaw: Aqua and Ember, he's the ember (fire) legendary (or forlorn as I call them) so thanks for the constant inspiration, keep up the good work hoops P.S: I added a hoop on its arm as a nod to your chespin legendary being the refrance P.S (again): please notice me I want to be noticed by a youtuber
My vibecheck meter must be off cause most of them did not read as Legendary to me at all 😅 But the ones that flopped as a Legendary would have been super cool convergent forms or alternate evolutions!
I think it’s because legendaries lately have been a lot more detailed and deviate from the usual simple format. Most of these read as megas/final evolutions, but that doesn’t make them bad designs at all. I want them all lol, especially fennekins!
@@michaelcastro8200 Oh yeah, I like all of them too! I just feel like even Legendarys in the earlier gens that weren't as detailed like Lugia still had that powerful/mystical vibe. I think it's probably the proportions that are throwing me off more than anything. I really like the fennekin one too as well as sprigattito's! The fennekin would make a great replacement for an alternative middle stage. Not too detailed but elevated the concept further
These were awful designs... there was a Mudkip face on mega swamp body.. An issue is that there was no purpose behind the designs. Guardians of forest? Volcano god? Use the region they're from to create lore. Gave us 16 designs and all misses. . Cyndaquil on the thumbnail seemed cool, but zooming out realized its really stiff
There’s a fangame I played recently where your starter actually WAS the legendary. It’s called Ad Astra Per Aspera, if anyone’s curious. Good fakemon, good story, all-around solid Pokemon fangame.
Really liked all the designs in this video, definitely some of the best designs I've seen that I would love to see in game! That Blastoise, Froakie, Sprigatito and Scorbunny designs are chef's kiss. Congrats to you and the artist! Keep up the awesome work buddy
Here are top favorite Starter Pokémon Legendary Form: 1.Greninja 2.Charizard 3.Skeledirge 4.Meowscarada How about more Legendary Form of Sobble, Grookey, Oshawott, and Torchic?
My favorite legendary starters of the lot are as follows: Bulbasaur(#5), Charmander(#6), Fennekin(#1), Tepig(#2), Piplup(#3), and Sprigatito(#4). I like the design choices for these guys. For example, legendary Fennekin definitely looks like something I’d want to run in a game, even as a final starter evolution. Same can be said about Sprigatito too. Tepig’s legendary design kind of reminds me of Ganondorf’s Demon King form from Legend of Zelda. Excited to see more of these legendary starters! P.S: I think it’d be cool to see Shadow variants of legendaries. Something to think about.😉
So many designs in 1 video 🤩 So cool! I prefer the ones based on the starters themselves. My dream mechanic in Pokémon is like Mega evolution for first stages so you could for example have Squirtle on your team the whole game since it has a powered up form it can go into during battle
Great video. After watching it, i now wish for a Pokémon game where the starters actually have a role when it comes to the box Legendary Pokémon. Just the mythical Pokémon are in some movies.
@HoopsandHipHop i wanna see you do a video where you make new Pokemon/Fakemons based on popular non-Pokemon anime characters (Nokotan, Sailor Moon, Luffy, etc)
I could see the Squirtle Legendary as Water/Dark since it causes tsunamis and wreaks havoc. And I would love to see another video of this covering the rest of the starters 🙂
If this video gets a second part, I wanted to see how would the Legendari-fied Starters integrate into the lore of their region, since a lot of Legendaries have their ties to the region with only a few exceptions such the Bird Trio just being rare powerful Pokemon
Legendary Rowlett definitely looks like a Mythical Pokémon in the same vein as Mew, Celebi, Jirachi and Manaphy, but in a Darkrai way, if it makes sense. Feels like a fusion of Celebi and Darkrai.
But the Legendary Beasts *ARE* cats. From one of the artist's interview I've seen in Google Images. Saying that Entei's a lion, Raikou's a tiger, and Suicune's a leopard.
With the Squirtle line being my very first choice (I started with Red/Blue gen with Blue) the artwork for Squirtle was perfection IMO, keep on with the great content 🤙
I think they should do this as an actual evolutionary gimmick, Like gigantimaxing, or like Mega evolution, But this could be legendary evolution, Or a legendary form...
These designs were awesome, my favourite was legendary Froakie, I actually like it more than Greninja because it carries over from Frogadier really nicely. What if more starters final evolutions were more like their previous forms?
Okay for the name for the Cyndaquil and since it’s legendary form is based on a volcano, how about the name “Nuphlosion?” which is a combination of “pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis” and “Typhlosion”
Awesome work overall. really like Rowlet in particular. And yes I would love to see the rest of the Starters. Regarding Empoleon, it's Steel Type is very well presented in it's design. It has the crown features, the claws and the razor-like wings. It's defiantly represented there. And as for Meowscarada I get why people wanted it be non-humenoid but it still looks excellent, it's defiantly the best looking final starter evolution of Gen 9 for sure.
These look great which out of these are my favorite that being Fuecoco, Piplup, Mudkip, Tepig, Chespin, & Squrtle, but as for the Rowlet instead of a legendary it reminds me of bird version of Marshadow
0:43 Oh, Deadly Nadder! The How to Train your fan in me is geeking out! 5:48 I heard you liek Mudkip remix! Now I want Ogerpon and Legendary Fuecoco to be buddies! The Scorbunny and Sprigatito might be my favorites! Please continue this! I would love to see your take on Torchic! Would it be more birdlike, like a phoenix or something? I bet it would be so cool!
Cool vid my man love it as ever. Suggestiomn for the futre though, please go through the gens in order when you talk about them. Watching this gave me whiplash lol. Also video idea "What if the Eveelutions were legendaries".
The new Legendary version of Cyndaquil is still pretty cute in my opinion. I've always loved Typhlosion and Hisuian Typhlosion, as well, though, lol. Even though I love Fennekin's canon line already, this new version is also still very cute. Foxxos; go fig. The new Scorbunny form is also pretty cute. It may still look kind of intimidating, but still, not bad. But, of course, when aren't bnnuys cute? And no, that's not a typo, lol. The Sprigatito Legendary, as well, is still very adorable. I personally can't say that I would take any of these over their final evolutions, though; especially in the case of Delphox or Meowscarada. I do personally tend to like a lot of the anthropomorphic Pokemon like Lucario, Blaziken, Lopunny, Delphox, Meowscarada, or Cinderace.
You can easily make legendary Emboar based off Ganon from The Legend of Zelda series as Ganon is a demon boar. Plus I think the original Emboar’s design is inspired off Ganon.
8:11 Okay, I'm not gonna lie: I'm content with Delphox's design, but that "Legendary Fennekin" looks like a really solid alternative that I'd also be more than happy to have. Plus it would shut those anti-bipedal fans up good and proper.
You know what? I'm making the call, and I think the legendary versions of Charmander and Bulbasaur are gonna be the box art legendaries for Pokémon Crimson and Ivy.
