    Regional variant Pokemon have been a thing for a while now, but it was only recently in Pokemon Legends Arceus that we saw regional variants of Starter Pokemon. To this point, only the starters in those games have received regional variants, but what if EVERY Starter Pokemon had one? In today's video, we are going to continue to explore this idea, as I showcase some more regional variant evolutions that I have created for more Starter Pokemon!

      terrid start, Incineroar needs a wrestler or related theme to play on and theres tons of great regional fakemon that keep it bipedal, to ZA alone theres like 3 great ones by artists on twttr now, and no regional starter changed their stance so changing only his just to please his haters is extremely unfair when its a very popular pokemon tobegin with

    • @HokutoShinkento

      Ignoring the hatedom is mostly an american thing and the japanese know the tiger mask and its wrestlign history, you removed every theme on a popular mon cause "what the people want" .. .no its a popular design as is thts used a lot (not including comp) and youre ruining it to answer to a circlejrk you see in social media that doesnt reflect the worldwide importance of the pokemon (seriously watch tiger mask), just due missing the point of the grappler/personality/tiger mask theme doesnt mean your idea is "unanimous" at all (you also missed the point of skeledirge and the duck but this was the most egregious one, a redesign solely for haters, may as well change pikachu to people who hate pokemon). You disliked the original design, fair enough, but because you completely missed the point (like when you thought zacian had flesh bits) it took off every bit of theme it had and even the tail and the stripes, so its not even a good normal tiger, viewers who dont care about the theme and do genwars may be fine with it but it ends a poor version to please american haters who never bother with the themes they have. Also if the excuse to the "criticism" is that theres more bipedals since, just add one thats is not, instead of breaking the theme, of all bipedal starter its probably the one that needs it the most for the theme to work other than infernape over a convoluted reflection of it that has 1% of the thought the og had.

      I tend to think Incineroar is more based around a cat due to the way I view the overall design; it just doesn't scream tiger whenever I look at it sometimes. I've always wanted to see a sabre-tooth Pokemon, so implementing the elements of a sabre-tooth tiger into Incineroar makes a perfect design! (I wished Meowscarada was based on a sabre-tooth tiger and not look like how it is as we see it now.) I first thought your regional Skeledirge was an Aztec variant, but an Egyptian crocodile is a good choice, and it looks so much better than regular Skeledirge (not that I hate it unlike Meowscarada). Regional Rillaboom looked like a Grass/Normal type, but I suppose being part Fairy isn't bad, it just doesn't feel like one what with the colors not reflecting its new typing. Seems regional Quaquaval has a bit of a roadrunner vibe when I take it all in, an eagle's not a bad idea too, and I like regular Quaquaval better than the other Paldean starters!

    8:15 The bird should have been on the crown on Skeledirge's head, flaming orange and yellow like it's original look to match the gold. Many pharaohs had ornate headpieces that often included some animal as a centerpiece, and the bird could have easily been Ra inspired with a small sun orb over its own head as well, controlling it with psychic powers.

      Incineroar has a great wrestling theme, good personality, and a decent tiger mask theme, so theres a million ways you can adapt that to a regional and keep it bipedal (za fakemon alone had artists doing a trickster, a warrior, a guard etc, tons of options for a grappler theme), changing the stance just to please the haters is very unfair when samurott didnt change and its a very popular pokemon in general. Im unsubbing.

    • @teno777

    Good idea for Incineroar to be quadrapedal, but tail actually looks worse. Because the flame is more or less a collar and it would work if it was a fire bone collar to represent the past, but the way your friend drew this Incineroar looks like someone removed his tail.

    As a Brazilian, I'm REALLY resistent to changes in skeledirge or quaquaval, before the pokemon s/v reveal we was theorizing that we might finally have a Brazil inspired game, so it's reveal and the fact that we don't even have a Portuguese translation yet killed almos all of our hope, so 2 clearly brazil inspired pokemon warms my heart, but i have to say i loved your skeledirge idea, it was kinda sad the lack of reference to sobek being the god of the waters and the nile, and even though i didn't really enjoyed shifting quaquaval's design to a more north American (with the eagle inspiration), the idea was pretty clever and quite broad enough to represent all the native tribes through all the Americas

Also he's not pointing a gun towards your head and obligating you to use it or trying to delete the original incineroar, even if it becomes real, would be just an alternative form, the OG incineroar would still exist and you would be able to use it

    4. Incineroar (Even worse than Rillaboom. It's even uglier, lacking even more charm and more like a regular feral animal. I'd expect to see this more as a Past Paradox than a regional variant of a normal Incineroar)

    @pierrephilippine7427 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Way before this video was released, i imagined the forms of these 4 Pokémon.
    Rillaboom: Grass/Steel. Since Cinderace's and Intelleon's forms are based on American's culture instead of British culture (respectively an American football player instead of a Soccer/European football player and an outlaw straight out of a western movie instead of a James Bond-like spy), i based the Rillaboom's form of Street music, with an iron barrel in it's back, holding iron bars and pipes instead of wooden sticks, and it's hair looking like more dreads.
    Incineroar: Fire/Rock. Incineroar is based on a typical wrestler, so i decided to take inspiration from an another form of wrestling: the pankration, a combat sport originating of Greece, but was practiced in various continents through the History like in Africa or Australia, and this latter is my other inspiration, since this form of Incineroar is based of a tasmanian tiger (an extinct animal which lived in Australia, and, unlike what it's name suggest, is a marsupial, not a feline). And to explains the Rock type, i said to myself: since the Aboriginals of Australia practice the pankration and old carvings representing tasmanian tigers were found, i gave the Rock type to Incineroar.
    Quaquaval: Water/Ice. Quaquaval's theme is dance, so i based it of the Kozachok, also called Cossack dance, a dance practiced in Russia and other easten-european countries. Just imagine Quaquaval doing this dance during all the battle (or just to attack), it would be hilarious.
    Skeledirge: Fire/Dark. Since this is the last of the four i imagined, i was way less inspired, but i based Skeledirge's new form of the band Kiss (Which has already inspired the Galarian Zigzagoon line), but more precisely Gene Simmons and his fire breath.

    I really like the Quaquoval evolution, but I feel like it's more of a lateral move rather than an improvement. Rillaboom is a total improvement on enother hand, but I feel like it needs to look flashier to be based off of both classic music writers composers and have a Fairy typing. Genuinely think the other two designs are steps down though, especially Incineroar.

    Quaquaval is based on a very specific kind of culture and dance. You should have done the same for its regional variant instead of assuming all Indigenous people are going to be represented by this thing. You should have gone with a specific tribe.

But he changed all of them because he hated the ogs and thought everybody hated it too. He just assume everybody must hate what he doest but at least keep a theme

  • @ryanolphie2166
    @ryanolphie2166 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    This batch is a mixed bag, some need little change
    Incineroar is a great design for what you're going for, I can even see this thing getting on two legs to preform certain action while moving on all fours (kind of like a bear). The only thing I should note is that you might want to make it's front fangs just a tad longer and a bit thicker, because I can see prehistoric tiger but not a saber tooth tiger
    I don't think you realize how that bird is important to Skeledirge's design, namely that fire sombrero it's prevo had was in fat the bird egg and it's nest (that happened to be made out of fire). You shouldn't take away the bird unless you plan on also giving a regional variant to the second stage that doesn't have the egg. The other thing with this design is that it feels more Aztec then Egyptian (at lest to me), I don't have an issue with this being Aztec looking but I know it wasn't your intention. I think a good idea that could fix both problems is to make that headpiece longer and more oval shape like those Egyptian name plates, and have the bird be perched on the edge
    I know you put a lot of thought into Riallaboom, but because I don't see the stick I feel that you're missing a thing that it's entire evolution line was building up to. Because the entire Grookey line had sticks that it would hit on any surface in a rhythm like fashion, a drummer was the natural end goal, and while this regional variant could still pull this off I see no sticks for it to hit things with. Other then that I think the design itself is good
    Quaquaval is great, but it does need some edits. The entire evolution line are water birds, and thus have webbed feet. Normally they would all be ducks, but (regular) Quaquaval is a bit weird as it seems to be a mix of a peacock and a coot. While I think you could do more, I think the simplest thing is to edit the claws to be more puffy like a coot to give it a more amphibious feel to match it's water type

It completely misses the point of every design inspiration

      "Spot on" in looking like an entire different thing lmao nice bait. That was the worst one: the proportions are generic like 20 other pokemon, didnt had tiger parts and had a fiery but instead, specifically said he just hated the og and then didnt include the wrestle stuff nor a replacement. You shouldnt ruin a pokemon for the people who hated the og. Rillaboon was the second worst cause it also lost all the themes and didnt had an equivalent but at least that one tried something, but pragmajik had a way better one recently that keeps the drum. The best was skeledirge but missing out on what the bird meant to be...

    The Incineroar part reminded me of a hot take of mine. Making starters quadruped for the sake of it takes away all of their personality.
    Example: Incineroar, look at any of its countless expressions it has on like Smash. Now compare it to Skeledirge, it's just a crocodile, it is emotionless, like yes, I like that it's head is kinda coffin, and stage with pyrotechnics themed, but the bird is the only personality it has
    Most pokemon: Have a lot of expression
    Skeledirge: 🐊
    Which is really funny ngl, but every time I see "I made this starter quadrupedal", it has less personality than Liepard, and I don't even know what's Liepard's deal

    Why does everyone keeps trying to make Incineroar quadrupedal, bro?

    Removing every theme on a popular mon cause "what the people want" .. .no its a popular design as is thts used a lot (not including comp) and youre ruining it to answer to a circlejrk you see in social media that doesnt reflect the worldwide importance of the pokemon (watch tiger mask to have an idea what it came from), just because you completely missed the point of the grappler/personality/tiger mask theme doesnt mean your idea is "unanimous" at all. You just disliked the original design because you completely missed the point (like when you thought zacian had flesh bits) and just took off every bit of theme it had and even the tail and the stripes, so its not even a good normal tiger. Also if the excuse to the "criticism" is that theres more bipedals since, just add one thats is not, instead of breaking the theme, of all bipedal starter its probably the one that needs it the most for the theme to work other than infernape.

      Yeah, I feel like this video was him taking Pokemon (at least Incineroar and Quaquaval) he doesn't like, and changing it in a way that it's no longer that Pokemon. His Incineroar might (emphasis on might) work a a Past Paradox Incineroar or a split evolution, and his Quaquaval might work as a Convergent Quaquaval. I like his Rillaboom and Skeledirge, as they feel like they are still the same Pokemon, just affected by a different region (plus in my opinion, the more Fairy and Psychic starters the better)
