    If you're looking for redesign ideas for these guys, you could design them as fish that evolve into differently-shaped schools of fish!

    This is one of my favorites so far! Turning the Unown into amino acids is cool and the execution is impeccable! I can imagine chains of these guys zooming around in the background, sometimes getting too dizzy and accidentally evolving.

    I've never cared for Pokémon, didn't grew up with it, haven't played it, the whole craze just didn't affect me in any way... But in a past day I've binged all of your videos... Your idea of making cute science-based little critters brings joy to my biology-nerd brain... If I were a teacher, a would've used your designs to illustrate relevant concepts in class...
    So, great job, keep up the good work, and don't overwork yourself... I'm subscribing, to see more weird little guys from you...

    I could easily see uniown having an alternate form or something that's a mythical with a second form like diancie for the tertiary and quaternary structures

    • @danielf.7151
      @danielf.7151 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I worry that these may be too busy visually. while the secondary structures only describe sections of proteins, the tertiary structure is the whole protein. and quarternary structures are when multiple proteins(either different ones or multiple copies of the same one) come together.

    This was so cool. The moment you said "aminoacids" I was like oh, I know where this is going. What a nice bridge of concepts. Great designs too. Your commentary was also very entertaining. You have a very specific kind of charm with the jokes you make and the tone of how you say them. Keep up the great work!

    Probably wouldn't work with so many base variants, but a cool idea would be to have the ability to build the evolution chain of say three base variants and have stats vary based on which base forms you used or the order they are in.

    I think just because they look so different from Unown, you can easily call them something else and it can work without a C&D at your doorstep

    These look great, man!
    Kind of a shame these may not make the cut; Unown is perfect for your region for the reasons you showed in this video!
    But you, of course, also explained why you won't have them in your region, so that's fine too!
    In the event that you do, it'll be great to see Unown get some love after all these years of neglect.

    I really like this concept and definitely think you come back to them for your own project.
    The secondary evolutions are the weakness in my opinion, they remind me more of bubble seaweed/bladder wrack more than anything protein related.
    My favourite thing about the first line is that the look like little abstract birds, taking that into consideration, my mind goes to 'long bird' for an evolution- I guess you could do something like an ostrich but it doesn't seem appropriate, so I then hopped on to the idea of bird adjacent things, like worms, bird cages and bird feeders
