i dont really agree with the Tinkaton line, they look different enough imo to warrant it being 3 stages. Pawmi however? shouldve just scrapped the mid stage
I agree
You can scrap the middle stage in this line too
Why exactly?
The pawmi line also look different enough, it feels like the digimon is actually growing ya know
@@sharktenko267 um you sure you used the right example? Digimon become very different when they evolve
@@nazeersadek6705 ok ment pokemon sorry XD
Tinkaton line is one of the favourite lines by most this gen so funny to see it on the list.
Pokémon literally put Sena from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in the game how can you not love Tinkaton?
It goes from a baby with a toy mallet to small girl with a hammer to a teen-adult with a BIGG HAMMER. I don't see what's not to love.
Lmao totally agree. To me this line is like in the top 10 best designs in this game.
I like the fact it just knocks Corviknight out of the skys just because it can, such a mischievous little troll er i mean fairy
I honestly never thought I would love a pink Pokémon so much
Fidough to Dashbun = prepped food to Well cooked
Maschiff to Mabostiff= youth to aging
Greavard to houndstone = yk
So the 3 lines make sense.
I always like it anyways. Three is the perfect number of dogs, and better yet, they’re part of that Ghost Fairy Dark triad that Game Freak has been pushing lately.
Mabostiff also has it in the name they are based off like the mafia and mob bosses. And thats what the look is going for.
I think it makes sense for Arven. He says Mabostiff has always been there always when his parent/s weren't. Maschiff's dex entry says even crying children burst into laughter looking at its face. I'd imagine one of the professors knew this and gave it to him, or it just popped out at Arven and he loved it so much he decided to keep it.
@@TheDragon1276 i really love that fact about the line. Mastiffs and also pitbulls(which maschiff has some traits of) have historically been known for being good with kids.
I really like Maschiff. Greavard on the other hand was a great idea executed not so well imo
On the topic of Bombirdier, I'm pretty sure the intention there is that it 'throws' the things it carries by letting go of the satchel it has in its mouth so they just fall out - Game Freak just didn't bother to animate that actually happening because of course they didn't
But how does it get the rocks into its satchel?
@@thaumatomane probably with its wings on the ground then it use those wings to fly in the sky
@@thaumatomane definitely by using the wings on the ground. There aren't rocks in the sky so there would be no point in it having to fly while it collects rocks. It's obviously grounded while doing so
@@thaumatomane It scoops them up with its beak. Ravens and crows do it all the time. I also assume the bib is flesh and muscle because it's thick unlike the wings.
@@thaumatomane either on the ground when it's not flying so it's a one use sort of thing. Or its just uses magic like a normal pokemon. We have creatures creating earthquakes and thunderstorms, making a few rocks isn't a big leap
Mabosstiff honestly made arvens story hit me more than if it was the other dogs. I mean he looks like an old grandpa dog and given arvens back story it makes sense.
Bro the end of that made me tear up
I love Mabosstiff, he's a big old mastiff. Adorable face, and they grin when they're in battle, when he wagged his tail while looking up at Arven.
Exactly. And he is the most realistic dog in that region. Hits harder for pet owners. Toby is wrong on that one.
@@CiarlaArt yes
Same here.
Given that it’s based on a stork, I think gamefreak missed an opportunity to give Bombirdier an ability that let it carry a Pokemon egg so that you can still carry and hatch them without them taking up a party slot
That is genuinely the biggest miss of this generation, right next to Pawmi becoming a fire/electric type. Although, to be fair, maaaaybe a bird known for dropping the things it carries shouldn't be carrying an egg...
@@MeloniestNeon Eggs prematurely hatched...due to dropping...lol!
@@BrineOkale they really should, maybe Kangaskahn too
itll just drop it tho
@@BrineOkale whyyyyyy
Tandemaus and Maushold bring back the question of how exactly multiple individuals constitute a single Pokémon. It started with Exeggcute and Magneton but then you get into Falinks and mounted Calirex and these things...
Is mounted Calyrex really considered its own Pokémon though?
i mean mounted calirex is counted as 2, just their powers work as 1. But maushald....i hate that thing so much, the creatures arent even bonded/connected, theres no bigger leader, theyre just a family of mice...
There are a few ways i see this.
There are literal organisms on our planet earth that are actual made up of tiny smaller animals/orgnaisms such as man-o-Wars.
Then therr is another argument... pokemon have always been monsters. While they have been a stand in for animals and the majority take inspiration from animals...they are still monsters, supernatural entities that exist. There are examples in myth and folklore and legends of creatures that are only powerful when they work together or are simply more powerful when they do.
So we can borrow a few concepts here from other fiction to explain this.
1) these pokemon can have a hivemind...this imo makes more sense for stuff like magneton but it can work.. especially if the indviduals can retain some indviduality but have a shared sort of processing power. The way cerebus is handled in media(especially the game Hades) vome to mind. Cerebus is one creature but each head still has its own personality and prefrences.(only one head likes to be pet)
2) the pokemon can only achieve the power needed to use moves if they are near each other/work together. Falinks and Maushold come to mind here. And example that we can draw from myth here is hags or witches. This isnt a perfect metaphor but does kind of work. Hags and witches while often having their own power(how much depends on the media) have a common trope of being more powerful when three are around. And in dnd games hags specifically often have powers that are much higher level than the indvidual hags but requires teamwork from the other hags.
The biggest explanation for as to why a pokeball would allow both creatures is that a pokeball in universe is probably tuned to where the focus/nexus of infinity energy is. If there is only enough infinity energy in each creature when they are together than the ball probably registers to both or something.
Exeggcute, Magneton, and Calyrex
I can fully believe and explain but the rest I struggle as to how the pokeball registers them as a single individual.
@@andresmarrero8666 My best guess is that it doesn't. If it lets say tracked infinity energy it could be that the infinity energy is split amongst them or there is only enough for a pokeball to register when they are near each other. I get though if that logic still doesnt work for people though.
I love the Tinkaton line, their Pokédex entries make them out to be land pirates that plunder loot and hoard treasures and that's awesome
Bramblin's probably my favorite new Pokemon this generation.
I find them rolling about really charming and I really like some of their animations where they roll, but the eyes stay stationary. The seeds as eyes are kind of clever as well, being explained by their ghostly nature.
But mostly I think it uses the Grass/Ghost type well since a rolling tumbleweed is literally a dead part of a plant, sort of alike a wandering spirit. I also find their windy cry particularly charming.
The design may be simple, with the seed eyes being the only real unique aspect in the design. But I don't think it doesn't work. All of the other little charms it has, elevates it to the top for me, this generation.
I just feel like it could have been better as Paldean Tangela.
@@Wombatypvsgosh that wldve been really cool
Bramblin is the best design-to-name pokemon GF ever made.
I honestly love Bramblin, very satisfactory.
Yeah, I do not believe you, I honestly think you said this to get attention, sorry
Personally I think the Tinkaton line is one of the best cause it follows the story of this cute baby as it grows up and becomes a force to be reckoned with I also find it funny that the reason why the Taxi service use Squawkabilly is cause Tinkaton regularly sends giant bolders at Corviknights since they are rivals.
They stole Magikarp's origin being weak unimpressive fodder to a raging force that commands the field
Is that it? The Pokédex said Corviknight's predators were I guess more abundant or dangerous than Squawkabilly's, but it's *Tinkaton?* Huh.
It's ugly....its like playdough..I don't understand why people like it
@@technoraptor7778 its way to much hot pink to me, I would prefer a more kirby/jiggypuff like pink
@@albertthepeacock8020that is most evolution lines are, what are you even trying to say?
Bombirdier could just you know, let go of the satchel by you know opening it’s mouth to have the item fall. It really wasn’t that hard to think about tbh
And birds use their feet as hands quite often so that could explain the fillibg up with rocks portion
Yeah I’m really not sure why Toby was having trouble conceptualizing this. I’m not a fan of Bombardier either, but like,,, the mechanics are really simple
how does it pick up the rocks and get them in its satchel?
@@fawn7158 Lands besides a rock. Lets go of its satchel so its laying on the ground. Either picks it up with the beak or pushes it toward the satchel. Grabs satchel again
@@inukyubi9566 legs, plenty of birds use their feet to grab things
Bramblin and Brambleghast are among my favorite Pokemon this new Generation, and have saved me more then a few times. Its a shame that its getting dunked on but guess thats just the way of the world
i hate bramblin's evolution so much, i love the idea but its literally the same thing, such a disappointment, hope it gets a branched evo or s 3rd better evo
The idea is so good, but the execution of that idea was genuinely bad and nothing can change my mind
It's a great example of simplicity can be better. I love that line and they look good to me
@@matheussandbakk9959 mind explaining on how exactly the execution was bad?
If im not mistaken, it was supposed to be a convergent evolution of Dhelmise which Brambleghast pretty much hit the nail on the head with visually
@@crimsonemperor2219 It’s not a convergant mon as those are Wiglett and Toedscool thus far, which end in the same ending
Also you could at the very least add some entity inside. I don’t hate it, it’s just so disappointing for a tumbleweed Pokemon. Most fakemon designs of a tumble weed look way better in my opinion
I love bramblin but only because the only way to evolve him is by rolling him around a lot
I liked how when a sandstorm picked up they all got blown away
Sorry I do love Dudunsparce, I love the joke, I do like that we did not get the cool dunsparce evolution, it makes it cooler in my eyes
I used a Maushold on my team starting around the 7th gym mark on and I love it for being more double battle focused as I prefer doubles and I see it as, in my opinion, a cooler cinccino (especially having its signature move and bullet seed with loaded dice)
Maushold are more of a menace than the Hound. It has Technician. It boosts moves that are under 60. It's signature move Population Bomb hits up to 10 times.
Give it Kings Rock . You will more than likely flinch. Give it Wide Lens. makes the Population Bomb move 99 percent accurate from the 90 percent accuracy. Give it the new Dice item. Makes it more than likely to hit all 10 turns.
let's say each move does 5 percent each time it hits. Doesn't seem much but all ten hitting is scary. If you use Tidy up, that percent goes up to probably 10-15 percent per hit since it boosts stats and clear stuff off the field.
Storks are all over spain its quite an interesting landmark, seeing them all over the random pylons is great
Also i know triple tauros is fairly lazy on the surface but honestly there has never been a more fitting regional variant than the new tauros, the three bulls, the blazing bull, water buffalo, its probably got more nuance to its design and implementation than you may expect Toby :)
I don't like Bramblin all that much for myself but I love it for the wider world of pokemon. Bramblin rolling around the desert adds a lot to the environment. One of my viewers says that Bramblin's evo is one of their favorite ghost types now.
The thing that annoys me the most in this gen dex is that we didn't got any 3 stage bird or bug but Pawmi got 2 more evos, and it doesn't even change, at least the Tinkaton line change a little
Btw, I really liked the tumbleweed pokémon, it reminds me of Dhelmise a bit
when i say the bugs second evo i said to my self ok this is getting somewhere cant wait to see what it is next. and then i found out it didnt evolve and was a bit disappointed cause i think it had potential like imagine some cool bug ninja that would be sick. (also about the bird it does kinda suck but i love killwateral so much that i can let it slide)
Gen 3 also didn't have a 3 stage bird, I don't mind not getting another cocoon pokemon too.
Pawmi to Pawmo changes as much as Sandile to Krokorok or Nidoran Female to Nidorina. They get a bit bigger, stand up, and have very minor visual changes.
@@CiarlaArt krokorok and nidorina look way more diff to their 1st forms than pawmo does not even comparable lol
@@AveryMarcelOfficial I would not say 'way more different', But you're right they are different, just barely. Like Krokorok really is just a standing Sandile, they have longer legs, and the biggest change is the spikes. I'm not saying Pawmo isn't underwhelming, it is. Also with my examples both Krokorok and Nidorina evolve into completely different looking pokemon unlike Pawmi/Pawmo. Pawmot on the other hand is more like, Thievul, who is just a bigger Nickit with a moustache
Bramblin is actually my favourite design of the region and probably my favourite 3D model! When it ‘blinks’ its eyes just swivel and when it walks (rolls?) its eyes stay in place so it can see where it’s going. Plus brambleghast is an awesome followup that further pronounces its movements and adds a creepy smile to its branches. Hope this little guy grows on you soon! (Though with its Pokédex entries I’d be cautious of that)
Nah, it deserves the hate, terrible Pokémon.
@@Nodnarb59 you went out of your way to write this to me :( why?
Man I've been waiting for a mastiff inspired Pokémon for ever. I think they are some of the sweetest and cutest designs the Pokémon company has ever come up with. Then again, I love my big sad face drooly dogos.
Dudunsparce is not the Dunsparce evolution we wanted, but the Dunsparce evolution we deserved.
It is not, it just really is not.....
I thought it was hilarious honestly lol
The tsuchinoko is one hell of a meme yokai. Of course a mon inspired by it would have a stupid evolution. It's really y'alls fault for expecting it to suddenly turn into a cool dragon.
This is the only good comment defending Dudunsparce. People pretending it's a good or clever move are taking the fart huffing too far honestly.
I honestly thought when I first saw it that bombirdier was a sort of subversion/reversal of the stork carrying a baby trope where instead it would steal children or something like that hence the dark type. I know it sounds a bit dark but driftloon literally does the same thing, and it feels like that would make it less of a clutter of ideas than it is now imo
I was gonna give my thoughts on each Pokemon here but then I heard the Dudunsparce slander. I've been a lover of Dunsparce since Silver, eagerly awaiting his eventual evolution. Though I always worried that I may not like it because I love Dunsparce so much that maybe I'd be fine with him never getting one. BUT we did get one, and the reason I think its absolutely perfect: Its Just MORE Dunsparce. Nothing crazy, just Dunsparce, but more of it. I love it!
Nah, I disagree about Maushold and Mabosstiff.
edit: I in fact WILL argue with you about Dudunsparce! it's great, how do you improve Dunsparce without completely changing what people like about it? just make it more Dunsparce.
also I like bramblin, but I think the evo should be better
Dudunsparce is actually one of my favorite Pokémon ever! They took the most derpy Pokémon and somehow made it even derpier! It’s hilarious and I love it! 😆
All I'm saying is that if these dudunsparce haters wanted a lame fish to evolve into a cool dragon, Magikarp has been a thing since gen 1
@@CloutmasterPhluphyy I thought dunsparce was a land snake
@@Twinklethefox9022 it is a snake, but either way, it's a lame thing that is lame
@@CloutmasterPhluphyy that's kinda why it sucks y'know.
I love Duduncparce actually, it keeps it's cut look and just makes it bigger and funnier and I really like that. I also used one on my team with the Ground Tera type which only furthered my love for it
I think the Pawmi line is supposed to be an homage to different stages of super sayings or the anime trope of characters getting more powerful being represented with electricity sparking f around their body and their hair standing up …. That doesn’t make the designs better but maybe more appreciable
Bombirdier is interesting. Back in gen 2, originally there was a stork pokemon that was too close to being in the gen 2 games. It was scrapped at first, but then people wanted a stork pokemon, and so they brought Bombirdier up.
Tinkaton is a force of nature tho imo
I wanted to use it after I saw it but I already had dachbun that I grew very attached to.
gigaton hammer is literally my delete button in my playthrough
I adore looking at something and deciding “I am going to bonk you” and then simply bonking it.
I’ll be honest Revaroom was a team member since I first saw. I caught one and named it Jetta after my car and it had the reliable partner mark and I love her dearly
I like how it’s pre evo sounds like me after Taco Bell.
Carbrain
I love the tinkaton line cause there are a cool spin on the steel fairy type like mawile and its mega and i love the little girl who just bombards corviknights with rocks
You know what Bramblin should've done? Make the tumbleweed into a hamster wheel that a little rodent runs around in and the rodent is the Pokémon, not the tumbleweed. They could even go with a jail or delinquent theme as it's trapped inside the tumbleweed cage.
I think where the bramblin design really shines is with the wind rider ability. it’s also a cool concept to me that a lost soul got tangled up in it’s bramble. also I can’t believe wiglett got an honorable mention, I love the convergent evolution designs and think that the eel theme is different enough. I don’t like Tinkatink though, I feel like it doesn’t really look like a pokémon, I do like the concept of baby rattle to hammer and the color pink but to me it just seems like it could be a character in like some high fantasy rpg or something
Idk why GF keeps making two stage dog and wolf lines. Wish they would make more three stage lines. Honestly struggled to think up of one after I realized the Gen 9 dogs were all two stage. Then I remembered Lillipup. Same with single stage birds (especially the Parrot which might as well have been a Chatot evo).
Tinkaton is one of my absolute favorite new designs and I love her so much!
Dudunsparce is easily the best Pokémon in the game. There’s only so much that can be done to improve the perfection that is Dunsparce
The only thing they could have done to make the shitpost king better would’ve been to give a fourth segment.
I am genuinely pissed at that, there was so much potential and they fucked it up so hard.... I feel personally insulted
@@banbanthebandit4002 agreed I was laughing my asss off when I saw
I feel like if they gave Dudunsparce a new Evo like a lot of fan artists have given it, it wouldn't be the same Dunsparce the pokemon community has grown to love. I like the rickroll they did with Dudunsparce and I can't wait to hunt its shiny 3-segment form.
The tinkaton line is different enough for me, but I agree about the pawmi line. Also totally agree about dudunsparce and flamigo
I love the tinkaton and maushold lines they are some my favourite new Pokémon from this generation
Same. Maushold is cute, and tinkaton is just cool.
The Tinkaton line is amazing, both in typing and design, kinda was surprised to see it here. Also, while Bramblin is far from my favorite, I live in a place where I see tumbleweeds all the time and as a kid always wondered what it would be like, as a Pokemon. I definitely think they could've done better, but I have a FAR BIGGER problem with the Pawmi line. Talk about uninspired, like, what even happened there...
I love Tinkaton!! It definitely could have just been 2 Pokémon vs 3 but like they’re a lot of fun! Especially Tinkaton
I loved mabosstiff, I used to own mastiffs and they are absolutely adorable, and also it made me relate to arven and how he felt Cus I know exactly how he felt
On a side note, an alternate Tangela evolution themed on dead grass that looks like a cross between bramblin and tangela would be an awesome ghost/grass type. Tangela that got trampled on by people died and grew vengeful
lawn ornament design with pool toy lore & rubbery look= 10/10 for poking fun at the fans 2/10 for a serious go at designing a good mon.
dunsparces evo gets the same scores for the same reasons & i feel it was because we felt it was like flygon after X & Y (needing evo but they had artist's block)
While I don't care for it much either I will defend the Revaroom line in that the Pokemon is only the engine and they seemingly make the cars for themselves out of rocks. I kinda really like that concept/headcanon
i do too but weird how they float in the wild
My head-canon is that the rocks they're made out of are actually those neat magnetic rocks.
They certainly have that slight, glossy sheen for it to make sense.
Oh no, hard disagree on the last one. As somebody who has lived in a desert my entire life I was so excited when I saw that there was a tumbleweed Pokémon in the game. And the only reason it’s not on Scarlet team is because of the final evolution of my starter and that I found a full odds shiny before I was halfway through the game.
It is just a tumbleweed with eyes?
@@HectorT52 it’s a giant dead plant that got a wayward spirit tangled into it by the desert winds and now it’s possessed.
@@ParadoxBrony It is still just a tumbleweed with eyes disconected from its body, a 3 year old could draw it. They could have done much better just google tumbleweed pokemon.
@@HectorT52 I don’t care if you think they could’ve been better. I like Bramblin.
@@ParadoxBrony Good for you, I am just stating facts.
Pawmi’s evo is supposed to be like a baby learning how to walk for the first time also has some super saiyan inspiration with the hair
I think it’s charming
Dunsparce was my favourite pokemon for so long, it makes me so sad to say that since the release of these games it no longer can hold this title, Dudunsparce is my new all time favourite pokemon, dunsparce never needed an evo and i was so scared when i heard he was getting one, but I felt so relieved that they did dunsparce justice, a true gift to the dunsparce community, just added a lil more dunsparce i love it with all of my heart
Toby is about to upset most of the community with these opinions lmao
I totally agree with you on Dudunsparce... like... why?? Just why?? And I agree with Flamigo. It's so random.
I am so, so upsat at Dundundparce.... I adore Dunsparce , I wanted an evolution for so long and there was so much potential!!! And then they did that?! If I could backhand whoever is responsable...
@@SingingSealRiana I so agree. They couldve made it so much better
I love dudunsparce. Absolutely hilarious, and an absolute troll towards people with high expectations
If u wanted a lame fish thing to evolve into a dragon, Magikarp has been in pokémon since gen 1
aw, I love tinkaton (the first two are take or leave). I think it's more comparable to the abra / timburr line than the seel/dewgong one though. Also the lore of it hitting corviknight out of the skies and that's why we don't have corviknight taxis like in galar.
i think Duduncesparce is hilarious especially since the point of the pokemon is just kinda be rare and have nothing else to it
I'll give you that the Tinkaton line didn't need to be a full three stage evolution, but I will defend Tinkaton's right to exist itself. The final stage is a great pokemon and I love it.
Fully agreed on Pawmo and Pawmot, completely pointless and unpleasant designs.
Why are pawmo and pawmot getting hate it makes no sense to me, there is enough visual change that it feels natrual through the evolution line
@@sharktenko267 Honestly probably because the design gets less and less pleasant to look at each stage, it basically just gets taller and its hands get less and less proportional to its body,.
I’m surprised you didn’t add the dolphin Pokémon in there, because it’s literally a dolphin that evolves to a dolphin that can transform into a ugly dolphin superhero. Evolution for the Dolphins should’ve been a Orca or a Killer Whale.
i mean at least it has a form that looks totally different (and i like that form personally) unlike bramblin, pawmi, dunsparce etc
Orca's and Killer Whales are literally the same thing, it's just that Orca is the alternate name for Killer Whales
I honestly love the fact that we have 3 dog lines
I imagine Bombirdier picks up the rocks and stuff on the ground, holds them in its bib, and then opens its mouth to drop them from the air.
Wow I'm shocked Bramlin is your least favourite, I love it. I love the floating seed eyes, and it being ghost type is a perfect fit
I agree, and lets not forget that it and its evolution are based on Tumbleweeds which are DEAD plants and tumbleweeds are commonly found in empty deserts and GHOST towns and the interestingly thing about Bramlin's cry is based on the whistling you hear in the famous movie The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in the beginning of the film is what he completely ignored.
It was a waste of two Pokémon slots, it deserves all the hate it gets.
You're missing the point of dudunsparce, dunsparce is a meme pokemon, it was never supposed to be a cool dragon, it's based of a fat snake. Dudunsparce is a slap in the face to the people who can't appreciate just let a funny dumb pokemon be a funny dumb pokemon. Hell, part of dunsparce's name is SPARCE, excruciatingly normal and dull. This is the best evolution Dunsparce could have gotten.
I was venting to a friend about how bad gen 9 has made me feel, and one of the things I mentioned was Flamigo, even bringing up Seel as a comparison (only to justify Seel by saying that gen 1 was still testing the waters, whereas now it's been well established what does or does not make for a good pokemon design).
I also hate the Varoom line, but solely because I hate man-made objects as pokemon. At least the ghost type man-made objects can be justified as a ghost literally possessing a doll (Shuppet line, which I actually love to death), but Varoom/Revavroom are just car engines. I guess we've seen literal man-made pokemon before in Genesect and Magearna, but the car engines' dex entries say nothing about them being artificially created. Gamefreak wants me to believe that these things occur naturally in the wild? I think not.
I'm not so thrilled about the Tinkatink line either, but mainly because they look less like pokemon and more like the inhabitants of some random world in Spyro. Exact same critique about Gimmighoul, but Gimmighoul isn't a random Spyro character, it's the inhabitants of Hurricos (a world from the first homeland of Spyro 2 Ripto's Rage). The reveal trailer of Gimmighoul left me thinking, "Oh.... this just feels like mild plagiarism here."
Another thing, I noticed that this gen has A LOT of birds and dogs, but not just the new ones. It even seems like they brought in every previous dog/bird, which ultimately makes the balance/diversity in the roster feel very lacking.
My biggest complaint about gen 9 pokemon though, is Quaxley's final evolution. That thing is so hideous and disgusting to me. I'm very much on the hate train for the oversaturation of humanoid starters, and I think the explicit reason why they didn't reveal the final starters prior to release was purely to not lose any sales. I genuinely believe that's the reason for no starter reveal this generation. At least Sprigattito's evolution isn't ugly, but it's still yet another furry.
👍🏻
I'm guaranteed Dudunsparce is 100% troll. Nintendo never planned on having a Dunsparce evolution, and fans begged so hard for so long that Nintendo finally said "Fine, you want more Dunsparce? We'll give you more Dunsparce...." and then it's LITERALLY just more Dunsparce, more Du.
Tinkaton was a must pick in my first playthrough, and while it's different enough for me the pawmi line could definitely be a single pokemon
First playthrough? This game has been out one week?
I dislike the Pawmi line simply bcus the proportions are so wrong, for a fighting type. It looks like it struggles to use its hands
@@snuffles504 dual pack, also I beat it in 3 days.
@@deonardomendez9426 I wouldn't say I hate pawmi, I would say it's final evolution method is bullshit. At most it should've been a two stage, or just have the final Evo.
Pawmi is a pikaclone which means it needs to be available early… If it doesn’t evolve, it wouldn’t be useful in the mid to late game, this has happened in every single gen since gen 3. I love the fact that the Pikaclone is FINALLY useful
Marrill agrees!
Emolga? Elisa's gym has wrecked me quite a few times at this point...
I had this hypothesis that Maschiff ages into Mabosstiff, and when it passes away, becomes Greavard which in turn decays to bone, resulting in Houndstone.
They're about similar size and shape, but Greavard's jaw? It's ugly a Sin.
On the defense of *_Dudududududunsparce as an avid long time Dunsparce enjoyer myself_* - IMO it's the sort of design that goes to the point of ridiculousness and hilarity that it loops back around to being awesome in spite of it, and if we're being *_completely objective and realistic about this,_* considering *_the absolute non-existence_* of this pokemon in the franchise as a whole, this is as good of an evolution design as such *_an utterly forgettable, forgotten, not in any way notable_* pokemon like Dunsparce was gonna get
Dundunsparce to me is kinda funny. 99.9% the Pokémon in this generation are pretty cool to me. There are some things like pawmot not looking super different and tauros not evolving, but this generation is such a great story imo. The stories are so cool and the reason for the enemy team is a cool idea. More I think bout it, I wish Paldean Tauros had better shiny forms instead of a darker black.
I really disagree with the first two I love mabostiff and he is the best of boys
Well I wasn’t planning on needing to throw hands with Toby when I woke up this morning but here we are.
Flamigo is more than just a flamingo!! He is fighting type, and his body is shaped like an old boxing glove!! Made me like it a lot more than before haha
Disagree! A tumbleweed Pokemon COULD have been cool, but I do agree that Bramblin blew it; mostly because it should have been a Grass/Ground type instead of Ghost, making it a lot easier to get that still rare combo instead of copying the numerous recent gen haunted plants.
Bramblin definitely should've been a regional form of Tangela. You could have it so that maybe the area Tangela used to live in Paldea dried up, the mine area makes since. Then Tangela would've also dried which would make it look like a tumbleweed and keep the Grass/Ghost type.
bramblin is unique enough to warrant being seperate, its just needed a better evo
@@timurtheking I didn’t mean that it should be considered a regional form. I meant that the idea of a Grass/Ghost tumbleweed should have been applied to Tangela instead of making a whole new Pokémon.
Can we all agree that wiglette and toadstool should have just been regional Pokémon. There’s no reason they should be unique Pokémon themselves.
The problem with Bombirdier isn’t the logistics, anything it’s carrying can be scooped or dropped by the satchel.
The problem with Bombirdier is that it’s really really gross.
Tinkaton is one of my absolute favorites of the new gen
Dudunsparce kind of adds to what made dunsparce so charming in the first place
Gamefreak clearly didn’t want to betray what made dunsparce so charming in the first place
Also someone pointed out that it’s name is literally
Du dun tss
Like the punchline of a joke
And that makes it even better
So 3 dudunsparce sounded like:
Dun Dun Dun
The point of the regular Tauros is its ability Raging Bull. It's an incredibly powerful attack and its typing changes depending on the Tauros. The regular one has a fighting type Raging Bull, the fire one a fire type, and the water one a water Raging Bull. I actually preferred the base Tauros in my run through because the fighting Ragiung Bull was useful whereas I had Skeledirge for fire and water was something I could live without. I actually enjoyed what they did with Tauros. He felt very strong when I used him.
It bothers me that Arven doesn’t have Dachsbun instead of Mabosstiff since the rest of his team is food/cooking themed
I….
MAUSHOLD?!
i don’t think i’ve ever been offended by someone’s opinion until this.
it’s like
so freaking cute and amazing
and it’s weirdly strong
But it’s really uninteresting. It’s two white mice which evolves into three white mice. It’s cute but it’s an absolutely awful and lazy design for a Pokemon. I’d expect that from Gen 1 lmao
Maushold is super dumb
Tinkaton is definitely a fan favourite this gen. Great design in my opinion
It definitely seems like Game Freak are trying to convince us that "Pokémon have run out of Ideas..."
Mastosstiff when I saw it for the first time it became one of my favorites of this generation. I just really like it. Also mastiffs were bred to be war dogs but are basically just couch potatoes and tend to be good with children.
I'm shocked at tinkaton being on here she is by far one if the best pokemon of this generation I didnt think anyone would dislike this amazing design
She nasty looking
I’m not a fan of Tinkaton, however I did enjoy the pokedex entries because they seem to be quite the Ahole personality haha. I wish they did change the wielder of the hammer more between each stage, but alas, we can’t all be as cool as Squirtle :D
I'm a big fan of Tinkaton. Love the implication that they aim for Corviknight not because they eat them or need the metal, but because they think it's funny.
For me, the biggest problem with Bramblin was they decided to give it an evolution that looks basically the same. The evolution gimmick makes sense for a tumbleweed, but I would have found a tumbleweed Pokémon much more forgivable as a single stage.
I love Mabosstiff though. Because of its role in the story, but also because I would want one in real life.
bro the first time i saw brambleghast in the overworld i literally said " oh hey they even have tumbleweed" till it rolled up to me to battle lmao
See while I agree that the pawmi line don't change enough, they're still great designs. Just take out Pawmo so it's only a 2 stage and there's enough change between the first and final stage. Same for the tinkaton line
I’m sorry but Dundunsparce is the funniest thing Gamefreak has ever done and I totally agree with it.
I am really surprised Palafin isn't in this.
Also Toby you’re not alone in thinking Greedunt doesn’t belong to the Pokémon world I still see it as a character form family guy 😂
I actually kinda enjoyed dudunsparse. I feel like if dunsparce had an evolution in gen 2 that's how it would've looked. I honestly liked the tumbleweeds first form but hoped it wouldn't just become a bigger uglier tumbleweed. Unfortunately it did. I love how it's eyes are so creepy and turn around and look at you in battle.
Yeah the whole point of Dunsparce and the mythical creature it is based on is a joke. People thought they were some powerful creature but it was just a snake that swallowed a really big round thing. It's not supposed to evolve to be strong, it should be just more stupid.
Oh wow, Wiglet's line is my favorite and sad that its on here. Wigglet and Wugtrio were like my secondary partner pokemon.
It isn’t if, but you’d know that if you watched and didn’t just see the thumbnail, click and comment.
@@SchmergDergen he says "i thought there was no way in my mind that Wiglet would be on this untill i saw the rest of the pokemon." Implying he isn't a fan if it, and he's totally entitled to have that opinion. But maybe you should've watched the video, cause i sure did.
@@weepingvessel that’s not making the 10 though, doesn’t even mean it’s 11 either, and still doesn’t mean it’s on the list.
@@SchmergDergen he says its an honorable mention, technically apart of the list
Flamigo is more fun the more you look at it, it's kinda like a balloon animal with a knot at the neck and just the overall curvature of the neck and head, and the body looks like a boxing glove, hence the fighting type
While I do think Dudunsparce is a stupid evolution, we all know they did that on purpose, and I think its hilarious. We really wanted a Dunsparce evolution, so they said "Just make dunsparce longer". Its a mega dunce.
I disagree with like the majority of list. The one I can sort of agree with is that The Pawmi line could have been a two stage line.
Bombadier throws the rocks by letting go of the flap of feathers/skin it holds in its mouth. Literally bombarding the enemy.
Tinkaton i feel like there is enough visual difference between the three stages both the pokemon and its hammer.first one is a baby with a rattle, the second one is a young girl, and its a sort of crude hammer, and third stage is older in apperance(but still youthful) and has a very complex hammer. It's cutesy nature mixed with its mischevious dex entries made it one of my top favorites.
Revaroom, i think is a fun design. It doesnt seem any less fitting then magneton or the voltorb line one improvement i would have done is embrace the team star aspect of it, maybe it can have an item or place in fame qhere you could have it be decaled and change one of its typings based on it. I dont think the design *needs* that but it could have been fun.
The three different tauros i like. Them being different colors or had a few more difference. But i also get wanting a visual cohesion between the two. I do think more could be done with it but i dont hate it. Having the water and fire be diverging evolutions could have been interesting i would admit. These are the most likely to agree with besides the pawmi line.
Maushold and Dundunsparce, is well. I beleive a design can be simple, it can be goofy if it does what it is doing well. Maushold is a very simple design and is evocative of very sinplistic stuffed animals, especially older ones. If you look carefully therr are stitches in various places, the two main ones look like the have faint shirt and pants designs, in place in a way one might evoke by sinple changing thr pattern of fabrix on the stuffed animal. So they are a family of stuffed animal mice. A simistic design where i think the charm is them together. Seperating and saying its on its own is boring is like well removing voltorb eyes or charizards wings and saying doesnt that look weird or bad?
Dundunsparce...im sympaththic if people dont like it. If you wanted a "cooler" or "more serious" design, i can sympathize with it and no one has to like anything. But for me dundunsparce is a play on the word redundant which i think is a fun visual pun growing off the name of the original. The fact that it is a much larger version of the original in my mind is fine. It looks comfortable to snuggle up next to. And idk its goofy and i love it.
Flamigo, i like how uncanny it looks, from some angles it looks very fake . Like a plastic lawn flamingo but sometimes it looks like a real if slightly stylizied animal. I think the mininal design and that slight uncertainty of "is that an object or a creature" is fun. Its by no meansmy favorite but i appreciate the charm.
The new bisharp evo for me... i dont like personally, it looks too busy and top heavy. A lot bulkier than the sleek design of bisharp. But i get and appreciate the lore and I can see how someone else likes it. It would be on the top of my least like designs but i dont think i could hate it. It has its place.
Also if you look at Flamigo from the side it looks like a boxing glove. With the wing making the thumb. Kingambits walk animation is so funny and when you talk to it in picnic it flares it’s hair up into spikes and his move Kowtow Cleave he bows and slashes with its head.
@@LuisWolf1 oh you are right about the boxing glove thing thats pretty cool.
That Kinggambit info makes me appreciate it abit more. Its zany and it seems like they embraced. Its by far not my favorite but that info does make me appreciate it abit more.
I enjoy the fire breed and the water breed paldean tauros. Although, I think the color could've been done better, since it kind of just looks like a black and white copy of a copy of a colored picture. I like the idea of the water breed tauros (I'm using one on my team currently) different enough to a kantonian tauros. But the mono-fighting type tauros feels like it's just there to fill in space in the herds since the water and fire breeds are less common
For pokemon that barely change upon evolving to their middle or final, we've had them before so doesn't bother me. Gen one being the first, is the worse for it.
Middle stages:
Nidoran to Nidorina - Gets bigger, and stands up
Nidoran to Nidorino - Gets bigger, and longer spikes
Starly to Staravia - Taller with longer hair
Sandile to Krokorok - Bigger and Stands up
Deino to Zweilous - Bigger, additional head and 'wings'
Fletchling to Fletchinder - Bigger, wings changed colour
Final stages:
Pidgeotto to Pidgeot - Gets bigger and has longer crest
Dilett to Dugtrio - Just adds 2 more diglet
Mankey to Primape - Bigger and angrier
Poliwhirl to Poliwrath - Bigger and angrier
Kadabra to Alakazam - Cut off its tail
Ponyta to Rapidash - Got taller and a horn
Slowpoke to Slowbro - Stands up with a shell on its tail
Grimer to Muk - Bigger sludge
Krabby to Kingler - Bigger with more horns
Swablu to Altaria - Bigger and wraps its wings around itself
Vanillish to Vanilluxe - another ice-cream scoop
Type: Null to Silvally - Removed its helmet
Nickit to Thievul - Bigger and has a moustache
Dunsparce is my least favourite Pokemon and I've found everyone's pleas for it to get to an evolution over the years very tedious, so I find Dudunsparce being a massive disappointment absolutely hilarious!
My initial reaction to number 10: *GASP* You take that back!!! My love of the Tinkaton line comes from their absurdly strong signature move.
The Tinkaton line absolutely changes between evolutions. That seems like a weird complaint for this one. Also I assume Bomberdier just drops the flap that is filled with rocks so I'm not certain about that one either. Like you really think it's throws rocks physically?
Everything else I would agree with. Mabosstiff is fine imo but definitely the weakest of the new dog designs and Revaroom is a better version of what I was hoping for with Charcoal but there could have been more there. I will defend the Seal comparison briefly though because I think comparing it to Flamigo is a disservice to Seal.
Seal is just a seal. However, it has the horn, the tongue, and it's curved tail. If you took just it's silhouette you'd know it as Seal from Pokemon and not an irl seal. Flamigo has nothing that differentiates from just a flamingo. It such a lazy design and despite this not being the first time Pokemon has done simplistic designs, it is so simplistic it might as well be nothing.
Also personally I'd put Palafin on here and the new Pseudo-line. Palafin is kind of funny but my god is it hideous. First dolphin-mon and this is what they decided to go with? It so bizarre and seems lost in a theme that doesn't fit imo.
As for the Pseudo-line here, it's another example personally of just lazy design. It's straight up just Godzilla if it had less detail and only one spine. It looks like something a five year old drew. So disappointing for the first Ice-Dragon type since Kyurem.
One group of Pokémon that I'm not really in love with their designs is the Futuristic Pokémon, with one exception. They look a bit too robotic for me.
I get where they were going, but Miraidon still looks like it's a living being, and you can see how we could go from Koraidon to Cyclizard to Miraidon through Darwinian Evolution. But everybody else, they got through a machine.
The thing about Dunsparce is the that I don’t think it was ever supposed to be anything more and I have no idea why fans built up so much of a grandiose image of what just wasn’t there.
In other words, it is and always was just Dunsparce
The joke wasn’t us, the joke was Dunsparce
