"No murder in our children's game"
Laughs in Pallosand, Mimikyu, Drifloon, Chandelure, Haunter, and Pinsir
and don't forget hypno
And the noctavispa guy he designed in the prev episode?
Uhm...well...yeah
gotta add on phantump who is a child that got lost and died in the woods
Litwick’s Sword entry says that the more SOULS of children Litwick has, the litter it’s FIRE gets. Which is as messed up as the other Pokemon you mentioned
“The actual blood-draining part of the chupacabra was going to be played down a little bit, and really only hinted at.”
“But, again, we’re going to skip past the murdering for our children’s video game character design.”
Mega Salamence is literally called ‘The Blood-Soaked Crescent’ because it CUTS PEOPLE IN *_HALF_*
A think little murder is okay for these guys.
Pokedex entries are just twisted, especially the ghost types.
@@_BigBirb_ The Mega entries in the later games are pretty messed up--but I think that's because they were trying to promote the Z-Moves... Given that Mega Evolution is directly correlated to the bond between Trainer and Pokemon, many of those entries better describe a forced Mega Evolution than a proper one...
I mean cubone's dex entry says it gets caught and eaten by mandibuzz while it cries over it's dead mother.
"No murder in our kid's game."
*Laughs in every Ghost type*
@@doodleraptordraws Sun and Ultra sun.
I've also seen lots of TCG Cubones with that description.
The fact that you used Houndoom as your representative for “Edgy people will find anything to love.” won me over.
Maybe the Lupacabra is the “regular” evolution while Zolupine is only evolved when leveled up in the rain.
*_[dumbs down the "extreme" themes of pokemon]_*
meanwhile actual pokemon: _take children away, feed off your lifeforce, brutalize their prey_
Thought the same thing, but eh, it could also be because of like. youtube monetization
Yea same also some of the designs or pokedex entries like hypno being a pedophile etc or dragging to hell eyc
"Golbat. Attacking with its sharp fangs, this Pokémon can drain three hundred cubic centimeters of blood per bite." - Ash's pokedex, Episode 32 of the Indigo League series
Lol and mimikyu's over here like *If you fucking look under my disguise you get die.*
What if the split evo evolves into lupacabra if it knows a draining move and zolupine if it knows a grabbing move?
For a Poison type, why not try a Gila Monster? One of the only poisonous (edit: venomous) lizards, also known for their strong bite.
Oooo that’s a good one☝️
Nice, also by continuing the bite thing, I think it would be nice to combine Gila monster with some kind of crocodile. They have a big teeth and mouth so they're bitting very well, plus I think there's not enough crocodile pokemon ngl
Yeah! That would be great
Id love that! Maybe try to incorporate its saliva as well, giving it a reputation for drooling everywhere leaving a path of smelly or dangerous infected drool
That would also work if it has no evolutions
Subjectively: Dark-types seem to be relatively rare in the Pokemon series.
Ice types: Are we a joke to you?
Dark Types Are Rare? I thought it had the most pokemon
@@rajkrish19 water and normal have the most but I'd definitely say dark type has a pretty sizeable amount
There are a least 15-20 ice types
Axeloy i feel like dark is overrated
@@xhydra870 52 ice types, 59 dark types but 128 and 138 for normal and water
The Loxosceles tenochtitlan spider was recently found in Mexico, it has potent tissue-destroying venom, also the females are know to be twice as poisonous. Maybe you could make a split single stage poisonous spider Pokémon. Where the female it more offensive and the male it more bulky. It might be too similar to ariados, but I think it could be a neat idea. It’s also named after the city of Tenochtitlan so you can pull in some more Aztec influences.
I like that idea. No spider pokemon illustrates the clear distinction between male and female spiders so I think that would make for a great poison-type pokemon. Perhaps they could be more bulky than ariados but not as tarantula-like a galvantula.
I love it
I look up that spider... I f***ing hate it
Venomous, not poisonous.
Maybe more gender formed and not a split evolution
I like the idea of a ghost-normal Pokemon without evolutions inspired in the día de muertos and the visual esthetics of catrinas
Oh yeahhh, and it wouldn’t be a bad typing either, weak to only Dark Type
While I like the idea, we need to save the Día de Muertos concept for the desperately needed fire/grass regional variant for Pumpkaboo and it's evolution. This region could be the origin of Pumpkaboo, and the ghost variant form in the other regions due to ancient trainers taking Pumpkaboo away from their homeland, not being able to care for them correctly during the long voyage.
You could make a termite Pokémon who makes mounds that resemble Aztec pyramides!
I like this!
You could have a termite priest to hold sacrifices on top of the mounds.
There's a place within Mexico City called Azcapotzalco, meaning "between ant mounds" or something.
A fun evolution method for this mon could be nature based, similar to the low-key high-key Toxtricity forms. You mentioned Techuppi being either aggressive or docile in its pokedex entry.
So basically, the aggressive nature Techuppi evolve into Lupacabra and the docile nature techuppi evolve into Zolupine?
@@pengil3 more or less, yeah.
@@pengil3 the docile would be lupacabra
They aren’t that aggressive anyway
i had a different idea, for lupacabra techuppi would need to ohko a sheep pokemon with a biting move (as if it's sucking all the blood and killing it like a chupacabra) as for zolpine trade evo with aipom
@@Lord-of-The-Crabs that would be very annoying
why not introduce a new way of evolution like evolving Techuppi on land will turn it to Lupacabra and in water it evolves into Zolupine
I was thinking of the regional non-starter Water type being an Axolotl.
Isn’t that what Wooper is based on?
Maybe a regional form of wooper?
@@EFlatPC so we have tons of fox Pokemon based on similar inspiration
As long as it has a different theme and basis, should be fine
regional Chancey
could be a sea cow
If you did a piñata inspired Pokémon, that would be cool.
Maybe a fairy-normal type punching bag pokemon that learn moves such as self destruct and has an ability that OHKO moves always miss, called something like "Turn Share"
Fairy fighting type
@@KainoPhoeno that's also a great idea
@@xdragon540 aw thanks. Yours is good too.
@@KainoPhoeno I was thinking that should be the type
I would have them evolve in different caves. The dark type with a moon stone in a dessert cave with lots of Zubat and the water type using a water stone in a grotto with lots of basculin
Couple general ideas that could be good to build off of:
1) Amazonian giant centipede
2) Golden poison dart frog
3) Gila Monster or Komodo dragon alternative
What if the Dark/Water type could evolve like Mantine does, while a Remoraid is in your party. Then, you could use the fish Pokémon from this region and use the same mechanic, assuming you will make a fish Pokémon. For Lupacabra maybe it evolves while you have a Wooloo or a new goat Pokémon in the party? Make the fish and goat easily accessible and allow the trainer to keep the Pokémon used to evolve.
I LOVE THAT OMG YOU NEED MORE LIKES N O W
@@emilymonahan5232 that's a great idea
@@emilymonahan5232 Yes! I liked the comment because this is genius! And for added realism, once it has evolved, the goat pokemon faints after losing all of it's HP!
DucktheGreat or alternatively, the goat Pokémon could have a split evolution as well where it turns ghost-type and co-evolves with Lupacabra
the wooloo disappears when it evolves
OOH, what if, for a pokemon that doesn't evolve, you went for another weird-looking mysterious one-like Sigilyph or Cryagonal, that kind of vibe. I think a pokemon based off the stone heads built by the Olmec civilization could be fun for that-maybe even as a never-before-seen rock/ghost type. Could be cool!
Actually you could do a regional variant of Nosepass and apply this concept to it.
Nosepass could be just a regional variant and evolve into a new Pokemon (Obstagoon for example). This new evolvution could be based on the Olmec heads and become ROCK/GROUND instead of ROCK/STEEL.
Long and short of it: I like this idea man
Sad that all of the Pokémon with great designs end up sucking. Be still my Carnivine loving heart
Another cool one would be an alabreje based Pokémon, it could have a lot of variants and not evolve, the Olmec heads are a great idea too!
That might be interesting. But we need to keep some of these ancient creatures/gods in mind for our legendaries.
For a Steel Type, why not try a Pokémon based on gold..?
Possible ideas:
Three stage evolution (base form- attracted to shiny things, 1st evo- decorates self to be unique among peers, final stage- decorates self to the point of gaudiness due to vanity)
All stages have “Au” included somewhere in their name
Has two main Formes, like Sinistea and Polteageist, Genuine and Pyrite (only difference is a VERY slight color difference, Pyrite is rarer)
Three possible abilities, Malleable (powerful physical moves shift stats, possibly 80 base power and above, must be hit by the move), Pickup, and the Hidden Ability, Accessorize (held item boosts stats, a series of gems could be found to give this Pokémon, each boosting a certain stat, certain items like Pearls or Nuggets of different sizes or a King’s Rock could also be used)...
au is gold in the periodic table. you are smart
Techuppi evolves into Lupacabra holding a Razor Claw during the night. Techuppi evolves into Zolupine holding a Mystic Water during the night.
For the dark type evolution, I agree with a lot of other comments I saw saying that it should evolve like that just by leveling up, it looks like the evolution by default.
But for the water/dark evolution I propose three things, going from the easiest to the hardest way to make it evolve:
1. By giving it a water stone. You just need one, pretty common way of making Pokemons evolve.
2. It evolve in its water/dark form only if it level up to a certain level in water. It would be harder to acquire because you'd need surf, or like in the last games, a Pokemon that can swim.
3. For the last idea, if like in Ruby and Sapphire, there's a way to go diving, it'd be really cool if it evolved in this form only if it leveled up under water. Since it's a monster that's supposed to drag people in the deep waters it'd make sense. Though, These areas represent only a small part of the maps usually and you'd need a way to dive first.
The latter two make additional sense given that the Dark/Water hybrid evolution is supposed to be fairly rare according to the Pokedex entry.
I think a fun Poison type that might break the mold and kinda shake up expectations could be a Llama, focusing a lot more on the spitting aspect of them, which is said to have an unpleasant odor to begin with, heck I imagine the whole animal can have kinda a funky smell, you can call it Llamust.
I love how all the other teams are malicious and then team yell is just like: cha cha real smooth, but it’s emo
The two evolutions could be based on nature, or based on friendship. For nature, the calmer natures could evolve into Zolupine (Which is why they have more groomed fur), and the more energetic and lively natures could evolve into Lupacabra. Or, playing into the Dex entry of Techuppi, if not taken care of (0-2 Friendship Level) it will evolve into Lupacabra, and Teppuchi with a 3-5 Friendship Level will evolve into Zolupine.
I feel really weird that there's still not poison type frog pokemon, except fot Croagunk. I'd love to see a colorful not a bipedal toxic frog!
It could be a pure poison type with color variants, or maybe poison-normal with the normal changing like kecleon to show the multiple colors
I've been working on a hybrid board game/card game for a while and I have a Pokemon based on the Poison Dart Frog called Dendribbit. It's Water/Poison type and it starts off as a tadpole raised inside the stomachs of Weepinbell or Victreebell; it's based on how many poison dart frogs raise their tadpoles inside of pitcher plants.
They come in a variety of colors - to mimic their real-life counterparts - but this just correlates to differences in base stats e.g. the red variant has a higher Attack, the blue variant has a higher Special Attack, the black and blue variant has a higher Defense, etc. They're primarily quadrupedal, but can stand on their hind legs to fire their blowgun, climb, or use their hands in battle.
The name is a mix of their family name _Dendrobatidae_ and the onomatopoeia "ribbit" a.k.a. the sound a frog makes. The tadpole/first stage is called Deniño/Deniña, which is a mix of _Dendrobatidae_ and niño/niña which is Spanish for boy/girl.
Pokedex:
Dendribbit each carry a blowgun that they've crafted by hand, with accuracy honed by hunting prey like Cutiefly. In battle, they fire poisons secreted by their skin that are so toxic they can cause instant - sometimes permanent - paralysis.
Poison-Psychic to allude (although not explicitly in a children's game) to the psychoactive frog venom of the Colorado River toad, which is found in North-Western Mexico
@@randomname285 Could be an alternate evolution
Since giving a Techuppi Hustle as its only ability is kind of cruel, maybe Strong Jaw as another ability for bite-based moves, making their bites extra nasty. For Lupacabra, it could have Intimidate or some new signature ability like "Blood Sucker" or "Vampire Fangs". Zolupine is fine, but if they could have a Hidden Ability, maybe something like Prankster or a more dark-based ability.
As for Lupacabra, since Zolupine has the Dark/Water dual typing, it could have a Dark/Fighting typing to make it more even, and because of its bloodsucking personality and ability Guts.
At the end you legit just did Urshifu lol
Since Ahuizotl is said to be made of water in the legends, Water Absorb would be a good second ability or hidden ability.
I would love if Lupacabra had some ability that makes bite attacks heal in some way, and maybe a dive ability for Zolupine like Cramorant has
Vampire Fangs: Bite based moves also heals by 25% of the damage (Same moves as Strong Jaw).
@@quackers2442 (Oh God this is late) Yeah that was in my mind the entire time, just with Dark being the new Fighting type
May I request a *Calaca* Pokémon? I understand that this video is like THREE days old, but I think it would be really cool to see a cute skeleton Pokémon (that is maybe perhaps wearing a sombrero and pancho), evolve into a cool edgy sort of one. Was thinking maybe it could hold a guitar and utilize sound based attacks, much like Rillaboom. For typing... perhaps Ghost/Fire? I thought it might be cool if it’s eyes glowed with an inner flame... Next, what about a classic Grey alien? Or even WACKIER, the UFO ITSELF as a living, breathing Pokémon? It could (lore wise), maybe be responsible for the abduction of numerous Taurus and Miltanks, and many villagers claim to have seen it, but only GLIMPSES as the Pokémon itself is incredibly speedy. Maybe a Psychic/Steel type? OH! Also, Jack, Claire, Ailish, Nick, Jane! What about...an Avocado Pokémon? Eh? Ehhh? I know it might sound a little funky... but I was thinking that maybe this could be like a regional BOUNSWEET or sumthin...that with the regular avocado for the template of the body, and maybe it’s cute lil face in the middle. Then, it would evolve into a more rough and tumble STEENEE, and finally,
perhaps a Regional evolution! One that can be (maybe), the male counterpart to Tsareena! Anywho, thank you always for your awesome inspiring videos. I myself love to draw, and would love to be a Subjectivist one day! Bleh, sorry, I’m rambling. Anywho, hope to see some great new Fakemon soon!
These are GRRRATE!! Same way (:
You have some great ideas too :)
Budew is kinda like an avocado but I like that idea!!
Poison dart frogs, maybe a set of them that all look different but are the same Pokémon.
Nice, cute and collectable. (or not cute, all's good with neon frogs of doom.)
What if it shoots ACTUAL darts? Like a frog that wears a mask and has a sorta quill or backpack that it stores its poisonous darts in, which it then shoots through a blowgun? And maybe its evolution will make it a bit bigger but not too different except its darts turn into poisonous arrows and its blowgun turns into a bow. I'd see the transition from the first form to the second form similar to Pikachu to Riachu.
Chariote Star Gem i love this idea and i need it to happen
Make it a Poison/Ice dart frog with the ability to freeze itself
Theres a mexican rattlesnake that would probably make for a cool single stage. Maybe a varient spider type for a evo poison/bug
For a spider we could have a fireleg tarantula that's either "poison, bug" or "bug, fire" depending on how you train it.
sky nerd or poison fire since spiders are arachnids not insects
@@ja_cow_ski spiders are often classified as bug types in Pokemon for example the Spinarak line and the joltik line.
sky nerd they don’t have eight legs so technically they are bugs but Araquanid is an exception (i think. It has eight legs right?) but regardless, I’m just pointing out that it doesn’t haaaaave to be part bug if it’s a spider, similar to how Drapion drops the bug type because it’s a scorpion not a bug
Gustaph7292 great idea but there are enough poison snakes
Though it isn't strictly a creature in central america, it'd be interesting to see what you could do with a gila monster as your inspiration, perhaps mixing in some food elements as a way of luring pokemon in before dealing a swift killing blow, or maybe have it be a cheery pokemon that causes others to become entoxicated by the puddles of toxins it leaves around
It could be like a Skink that evolves into a Gila Monster
Both do that thing where they flash their tongues at people
Hell you make a regional variant of an existing Pokemon based off a Gila Monster
Like Lickitung, make it a Poison Type and instead of Lickilicky, it could evolve into something else
We need at least a few regional variants
Mexico isn't in Central America tho.
Eddie R ah im dumb
What if the way it evolves depends on its friendship. The first one needs low friendship to evolve, while the other needs high friendship.
Mabye make Zolopine, as it’s based off of a guardian of fish, make it like pancham where you need a Pokemon of the water type or regional fish in your party when it would evolve otherwise
I would say since one of them is water dark and the other is just dark, that you have to be surfing or diving when your pup levels up to get the water/dark evolution. And then just be on land for the other.
That was also my idea
or be in a cave for the only dark type.
Alfred Forsman well the Dark/Water seems to have more uncommon with caves...
Could go the Spinda route for evolution, where there are different colors of Techuppi, and the colors would hint at what it would evolve to. More greens (cool tones), it would become the water/dark type, while more red (warm tone) would become the pure dark. It seems like a crime to limit the Techuppi color palette when the figures it's based off of are so colorful and unique.
I can imagine children running around towns, especially during a parade or festival, with mind blowing decorations.
(Seems it would fit right in the movie Coco with those animal guides and colors.)
what do you mean spinda route? spinda doesn't evolve
@@funtainment777 Spinda route as in gimmick, each one has different rng patterns.
This is only tangentially related but I really like pokemon that aren't clearly any one animal ie. Slow poke.
Also gengar exists. Read its dex entries they aren't exactly kis friendly.
I just noticed the background music is from FFXIV. I just ran that dungeon (Doma Castle) on my roulette today. Lol XD
I'd love to see a Mexican Pronghorn Pokémon here, given its relation to the inspiration of the region and the fact we haven't had a proper antelope Pokémon ever somehow. Type-wise, I am unsure, maybe Electric or Fire due to its speed? A leperous armadillo that's Poison type could also be a great include (and different enough from Sandshrew to feel unique); same with a coati Pokémon.
Yes
Pronghorns are great. They definitely need more love.
How about a horn of plenty Pronghorn since Pronghorns were a big food source. Plentylope, IDK
We must feed this post with likes so it actually happens
Ooooooh I'd love to see a coati Pokemon!!
For the evolution, as Zolupine is specified "rare" in the region, his evolution might be kinda tricky compared to the other form right ?
What about gaining a level close to a water spot, or directly while on water ? It could also evolve by gaining a level while the rest of the team is only composed of water types Pokémon, so that, as your Techuppi knows nothing other than water types, it evolves that way.
It could also do what glacion and leafeon do where you need to level it up while next to a certain rock or artifact relating to the type. Maybe some ancient statue of Zolupine located on the shore of a lake?
I like the "level up while surfing" idea, as it's kind of like the Icy Rock for Glaceon, as @Eli Kempema mentions. The "Only water types in party" idea is pretty fitting and creative, but I think that might be a bit too finnicky. That's not to say that Pokémon hasn't had more finnicky evolution methods (e.g. Runerigus), but that's just my personal preference.
@@LMC_Jarred It is finicky indeed but that's precisely the goal, a Pokémon is rare either when there's not a lot of this species, OR when actually getting it is quite tough, this Pokemon and the way it evolves could become a myth between trainers, and looking back to its inspiration, I think it's the objective
@@starplay6761 Fair point
LegoMinecraft369 it is kinda finicky but not out of the realm of reason. Pancham only evolves into pangoro if you level it up while you have a dark type in party. So i think it’d be fair if it only evolved to this pokemon if you have a water type in party (a whole team of water types is a little much though). It would explain why the water version rarely appears too. What’s more likely reaching lv30 or reaching lv30 while being friends with a water type? Just my take
I don't care which circle of hell they live on, they're all still good boys
Love this designs! The lore is great, the inspiration is great and I love the distinct colors!
First off, I would die a million times for techupi. But I would love to see a Pokémon based on the Aztec war and death goddess itzpapalotl. She’s a war goddess with butterfly wings so fairy dark or fairy fighting would probably make sense.
Ooh good idea. I'd go for fighting as the additional type as I don't think fairy fighting has been done, and fairy dark was done last gen with the impidimp line.
Personally I'd choose other Aztec/Mayan deities to base legendaries off of, say Tezcatlipoca in the form of a jaguar, but regardless I do love the idea that at least one of the legendaries should be based on one of the Aztec deities.
SunShadow 666, who says we can't do both? Lol... Hell, there are a couple gens with so many legendaries/mythicals it's hard to keep track.
Obsidian Butterfly literal translation of her name
Imagine that mon.
I've been sugesting for a couple of rock Mons,
Plusle Minum Style
Rock/Fire-Popocatépetl (Smoking mountain) and his gf
Rock/Ice-Iztaccihuatl(White Woman) aka Sleeping woman
in short, he went to war, someone tells her he died,she does of grief,he comes back finds her dead, takes her to a hill outside the city and the gods turned them into mountains
The chupracabra version evolves by normal means. It's the "natural" evolution. But Zolupine is the result when it evolves on water, or (to expand the chances) after fighting a water type.
Or using an water stone
@@masxe4106 It's supposed to be a very rare pokemon in the region, based on its description, and odd design. I think an obscure (but not difficult) situation would be better to make it feel more rare than if an item could do the trick.
@@SangoProductions213 then it could evolve at some kind of lvl if you have water type on your team or something
@@SangoProductions213 maybe water is scarce in the region but oasis' appear randomly and it has to evolve at one
@@Khan-_-Art1st I think that's a great idea
Techuppi is genuinely perfect. It's one of those rare Pokemon designs (albeit unofficial) that just looks "right". The proportions of its anatomy, it's body shape and particularly the colour pallete you've chosen, are just perfect in every way. Very well done sir, great work.
“Hui” is pronounced as “wee” btw. So wee-chol, and a-wee-zotl, ofc different regions have different way to pronounce things, but but generally that’s how it’s pronounced.
Why not an invasive species? A quick wikipedia search yielded the American Bullfrog, so maybe a frog mon that evolves into a water/poison type?
i personally really like this idea as i feel like a lot of the frog pokemon that were designed by gamefreak tend to not feel exceptionally well designed
A simple-ish goat pokemon could be nice as sort of a foil to Lupacabra.
Does Wooloo counts?
These designs are amazing and I really love them! Zolupine is my favorite of the three! I really love how it's face resembles the Aztech jaguar statues. Though I do have to point out that the Chupacabra being canine is a very modern thing. When the Chupacabra was first reported in Puerto Rico in the 90s, it was described as being a small, bipedal, reptilian creature with large eyes and spines running down it's back. The whole canine chupacabra thing only started around the mid 00s when a very bizarre looking canine creature started being reported in Texas and rumors spread that it was the Chupacabra (even though it looked nothing like the original descriptions of the Chupacabra) because it looked so bizarre and reportedly killed some chickens. A corpse was eventually found and stuffed and now the canine variants (furless, emaciated, strange looking canines, most likely poor foxes and coyotes suffering from very bad mange) have become known as the "Texas Chupacabra". A good choice for a Pokemon design, regardless. But I think Sableye is closer in design to the actual South/Central American Chupacabra (even though Sableye is apparently based on the Hopkinsville Goblin creature).
That Doma Castle music tho, great choice :D
Regarding the evolution methods:
for the pure dark, level up is probably the best bet, though which level is determinate on balancing and the finding location for the first stage and all that.
for the water dark you can maybe do a location based evolution. if its based off of a water guardian why not consider the Cenotes common in the Yucatan. they are basically huge sinkhole pits filled with water, which are connected to a massive underground cave system, the largest known underwater cave system in the world. So there could be a specific Cenote that will allow it to evolve into the water dark if it levels up inside it.
Regarding region ideas:
These Cenotes have alot of mythological significance especially to the Yucatec Maya civilization that resided on that peninsula. So maybe it could be the lair of some legendary pokemon based on Mayan myths.
Also there is a high density of Cenotes in that region that near perfectly mark out the rim of the Chicxulub Crater, the impact site for the asteroid that ended the dinosaurs. So that is also an area to play with for mythic stuff and maybe even have another alien pokemon. Maybe thats where the grass starter is commonly found.
Alternatively, the pure dark type evolves by leveling and the water dark one by using a water stone. Not enough pokes make use of evolution stones
or dusk stone and water stone
I was thinkig about evolve by move learning when the pure dark would lear a drain type move (lech life /absorb /etc) and the water/dark type learning a puch move (mach punch / comer punch).
I was also thinking location-based for the water type. And perhaps instead of one legendary having a specific cenote as its home, the region's roaming legendaries could circle around them... since new Regis are now a thing that's on the table, potentially water ground and fire type Regis? Though I'm not sure if there's any artificial constructs in Aztec myth... Plus, y'know, I'm sure there's something else that'd fit better for roaming legendaries.
There are alot of myths to go off of in the area, so Regis may not work best here, but roaming legendaries specifically roaming between the cenotes would be really interesting.
One inspiration can be the “alebrije”, in Mexican culture they’re like a chimera, in the way they combine different parts of animals, it could be similar to the flying psychic type of the 5th gen,(don’t remember the name), the difference is that “alebrijes” live in the land of the dead as a part of the “día de los muertos”
I always wanted one of those 😂
oh! i had a really interesting idea regarding an alebrije pokemon, i don't feel like re-commenting it but if you're interested you can go find that comment and see what you think of the idea
Do you mean those colorful Spirit animal like featured in Coco?
Marine Soler Yes
Hallebrije from truegreen7's video
I've always loved the idea of Cryobiological Frogs, so I'd love to see a ice/Poison frog pokemon. Maybe they can shift forms like Darmanitan?
i LOVE lupacabras shiny form. the colors combined with its design elements... *chefs kiss*
What about a Pokemon that change its "animal specie" when it evolves. Like remoraid. (A fish -> an octopus). I imagine a rattle snake that evolves into a gila monster but maintaining the rattle snake tail. Idk if there's a mythical creature that looks like that in real life but I think it will be cool looking.
I agree with this idea, and you could also maybe bring in Aztec medical practices or similar to help elevate the concept
The problem is, many people *hate* lines that do that
maybe (snake -> lizard-snake -> Gila monster
@@BlueDavrial I used to not like it caz it seemed boring and still does. But if you look at Octillary's original evolution line in recent leaks. Remoraid is a Gun, and Octillary is a Tank, which makes more sense. Wish they kept that in
I like that idea. Perhaps not as far-fetched (joke intended) as remoraid and octillery as the only thing linking them is the theme of military weapons and sea creatures.
I don’t know if you’d use this for a water type, but an interesting poison type Pokémon for this region could be based off of a stonefish, which is a ground-dwelling fish that stabs things with poisonous spines on its fins that lives in Mexican waters
Definitely a water spot. Although it's an great original idea and a stonefush is definitely pokemon material.
That almost sounds like Stunfisk
@@lovaniagengar7941 stunfisk is based off of a flatfish, like a flounder, which are flat, Bury themselves in the ground and produce electrical discharges. Stonefish are very round, poisonous fish. The only thing they have in common is that they are fish and can camouflage.
Sorry if I have come off as rude I just wanted to help you tell them apart.
@@_BigBirb_ that's neat, I honestly had no clue
Isn’t that stunfisk
The descriptions are probably my favorite part of this series, and as far as "friend shaped villains" go, your description of lupacabra trying so wildly hard and sets not hitting at all created such vivid imagery of a puppy flailing around when it plays that I fell in love. Phenomenal job so the way through
Awesome split evolution and great concept! You're making me want to embark on a journey in this Region more and more!
"Chupacabra"
Ooh spooky
"It means goat sucker."
Hehe Chupacabra
It’s still spooky and a horror story monster in Latin America
@@Godlikkomni I think you missed the joke
@@axolotl339 I didn’t I just wanna say that it’s actually very scary
Yes

Make a Pokemon based on the “Alebrijes” maybe could be a dragon fairy type pokemon
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
THIS IS A GOOD FOKIN IDEAAAA
YEEEEEESSSS
Lol This is funny because I made one of those for my region yesterday XD I love coincidences
A dragon fairy alebrije is a good idea
“Hope everyone is enjoying summer”
Me, almost seriously melting because of the heat: ehhh... nah...
normally england has pretty cold temperatures, but HOLY CRAP ITS SO HOT OVER HERE
I think it's really cool how you described the design basis for all those two-form early game dark types, i never even knocked that as a trope, let alone the reasons they were all cute fluffy animals!
i was thinking at first, based on techuppi's description, that it's evolution could be based on friendship levels, but since both of it's evolutions seem about the same temperament, it wouldnt make sense to have them evolve based on liking/disliking the player. i think i would go with techuppi>lupacabra through normal level up, then techuppi>zolupine if it knows a water-type move, or with a water stone, or something like that. really cool designs!
Zolupine should be Harder 100%, seeing as it’s “rare”
Or maybe it could evovle into zolupine if it's raining
My same thout proses!! (:
@@kiwi-vn2yy Or they could re-introduce the diving mechanic and you have to evolve it by knocking out a Pokemon with a physical water type move while under water.
Maybe a Coral Snake, it is an agressive Venomus snake from Mexico. And it could be a Posion/Dark type
Why has no one mentioned rattle snakes?
@@nathanheim9630 Ekans is a rattle snake
Maybe mix that with actual coral and make it a water type?
@@ZoomGameClips A posion/Water type would be cool
@@malekith347 so?
People, we can have more than one Pokemon based off the same animal
There's no rule saying there can't be
Maybe a Pokémon that is or collects a plant know as agave, a main ingredient in tequila. I know alcohol in Pokémon is more than a stretch, but 1: this is just for fun, and 2: it does have to be based off it, but it doesn’t have to known as alcohol based, Hanse the poison typing. The Pokémon could be a poison/fairy typing due to tequila being a drink for celebrations. it’s name could be tequiltar, the partying or wobbly Pokémon. It’s name comes from tequila (no da) and kilter: to be out of balance, because when your drunk you stumble all over the place swaying side to side like getting a carnival ride were you feel nauseous (just like being heavily drunk).
This is quite the fun video series and I super love your designs! Though I was super surprised to hear 'Gates of the Moon' in the BG. XD When my fandoms collide!
It would be interesting to see a bug/dragon type that was a swarm of Pokémon, like Argentine ants or some colony species. It always felt odd to me that the only swarm Pokémon was Wishiwashi, made up of fish, when attacking as a colony is basically the modus operandi of a lot of insects, especially ants, bees, and wasps. Maybe something like a first evolution of a dragon head, then a full dragon body, then a 5-headed hydra made of ants? I think it'd be a really cool way to cover the bug/dragon type and a unique idea for the region, if there was an invasive colony species wrecking havoc.
I really like this idea.
Maybe it could be the gigantimax form for noctavispa
Vespiquen kinda counts as a swarm pokemon.
Dragon/Bug wishiwashi
Him: Dark type evolution
Me: I hope it's a chiuawa that evolves into a chupacabra
Edit: YEASSSSSSSSS
Chiuawa?
@@lodgimoss hello spelling police
Someone call the spelling police
Here’s an idea I had, maybe to evolve Techuppi into Zolupine you have to level up while it’s raining like how you evolve Sligoo into Goodra
1:12 I love that the method on making a good pokemon design is, "Make it friend shaped"
Idea for a poison type with no/1 evolution:
Pokemon Name: Scalgila
Typing: Rock/Poison
The Scaled Lizard Pokemon
This pokemon is based of a gila, a poisonous lizard that is said to be the largest in the northern america, this lizard is said to be a ‘living fossil’ this could mean that it’s a fossil pokemon. However, I believe this lizard will not be a fossil, as they will be commonly found in deserts as they are very scaly and can be mistaken as a rock. Their signature move will be a gas that is used via its mouth, this pokemon will be quite slow but is a mixed attacker, physical and special with great defensive capabilities. This pokemon comes in many patterns and colours and is sometimes used to decorate a garden. If this pokemon were to have an evoloutoin it would likely be steel/poison!
This is my first time suggesting an idea so I hope this is alright!
Lol so long i didn"t read
I really like the idea of different patterns and colors, and it being used in a rock garden.
@@MGDrzyzga yup nice idea
Steel/Poisen, screw fairy
Had the same idea for a Gila Monster just a short while after you. Shows it must be an idea with potential.
How about a scorpion Pokemon since they are some of the most deadly animals in Mexico and are also venomous so the fit the poison type?
Scorupi and drapion already exist, sure they could do their take on it but I'd guess that they want to do something new
Maybe they could do an electric type scorpion since they show up in blacklight?
@@neubsly that'd be cool, I instantly got an image in my head of a Scorpion with magnet hands lol
you could add some small fins to zolupine to make it look more like a water type
For the pure dark evolution, maybe the evolution condition is to have the last pokemon that causes Techuppi to level up be an ungulate pokemon, like a mareep or gogoat?
I'd choose the maned wolf guy. He looks a bit like a werewolf, so I'd be all over that. Love seeing the more obscure canids get some love, like maned wolves and xolo dogs.
I really want a maned wolf pokemon and I think it's a shame that he couldn't fit the xolo into the pokemon because it's a really underrated dog outside of Mexico and a chupacabra would make a better sub-legendary or. Mythical pokemon.
furry
@@sentane8031 lmao
Me to.
I don't wanna state thr obvious here but he's REALLY good at this XD
I like this series so much! The amount of work that goes into these are amazing and I can’t wait for more episodes
Next do :-
Secondary bug (weedle, dewpuder etc.)
Regional formes
Poison / Dark Pokemon meant for evil teams
Pseudo legend
Annoying cave Pokemon
Volcanic (Or just another fire type)Pokemon - Vulpix, Turtonator
Fish Pokemon - Magikarp, Wishiwashi
Perhaps for the evolution methods they could evolve depending on where they level up at a certain level. If they're meant to be early game 2 stage pokemon then they should evolve around the mid to high 20s, so 28 maybe? To evolve into Lupacabra it has to level up in an arid desert, and for Zolupine how about a lake or a swampy wetland? As for the Poison type how about the Golden Dart Frog? They're skin is coated in a poison called batrachotoxin which blocks nerve impulses, causing full body paralysis and heart failure. Maybe it could have an ability that gives its Poison type moves a chance to paralyse as well.
This region DEFINITELY needs an axolotl Pokémon! Perhaps a dragon-type!
Dragon/Fairy type perhaps?
That's would be amazing
Dragon/Fairy definitely
the ahuizotl is one of my favorite mythical creatures! so cool to see it getting some representation. I also love the final design!
What if we made a regional versions of throh and sawk to be like a lone gunman and a sheriff? I think a gunslinger Pokemon or two wouldn’t go astray!
The evolution mechanic could be that they evolve into Zolupine when on water, and Lupacabra elsewhere?
I think it should be done using either a Moon Stone or a Water Stone.
I had an idea for lupacabra that he Evolves at X level when a party member is fainted, an on the nose reference to chupacabra sucking blood from animals
An idea on how they evolve:
At level 22, Techuppi tries to learn 2 moves, Rage and Thief. If it levels up knowing one, but not the other, that will determine what it evolves into. (Of course, rage for Lupacabra and Thief for Zolupine.)
maybe it could envolve into lupacabra if you fainted a miltank or other livestock pokemon and level up symbolizing that it sucked it blood or something like that, and for it to evolve into Zolupine that it has to learn dive and level up hinting to the drowning aspect, just an idea thought.(both during night, mainly because they are dark types, no special reason)
yo i really love all these pokemon design! I really love both dark types anyways one of or the best fakemon design I really like! Can't wait to see more!
For the fish Pokemon in the region i would love to see a whale shark Pokemon
*OR* (and preferably)
a Pokemon based on the parrotfish family. It could have the vivillon treatment where there is a collection of different patterned parrotfish, eg rainbow parrotfish, midnight parrotfish, stoplight parrotfish, Queen parrotfish etc. Or it could have different formes depending on the area of the sea but they all have their own types so the midnight parrotfish could be water dark, Queen parrotfish could be water Psychic etc.
I’d love to see what you could do with this idea
Maybe they have some involvement with other Pokémon and wildlife which live in and around coral reef and some formes could be hostile while others contribute to their eco-system.
How about a Pacu, those piranha fish with people teeth
KSound Kaiju
That would be cool too
but it gives me bruxish vibes **shudder**
Edit: I just read more about the pacu and apparently they eat testicles
Now that would make for an interesting Pokédex entry
@@clairekennedy7719 can't eat your balls if they haven't dropped yet
How about a Mammoth/Avocado pokemon. Avocado was originally on the edge of extinction, because Mammoths and other members of mega fauna were gone, and nobody eats it, but they were culturized by the huma s. I think, this will be a great choice for mexican region
That's such a good idea! I've always loved beneficial partnerships between pokemon, it expands the universe in a simple but rich way.
That’s a really cool idea
How about a giant sloth? Since they were the main consumers of avocados there :O
How about a Grass Type Mammoth that has avocados growing off its shaggy, mossy fur
Maybe they get into turf wars with Tropius as both wanna plant their fruit in the same areas which results in fights
Maybe a horned lizard? Ground/poison that squirts noxious blood in defense
I have an idea on how the evolutions could work for these mon’s: To evolve the doggo into the hand-tail one, he would need to faint a pokemon in a watery area, touching upon the drowning thing. And to evolve the doggo into the chupacabra, he would need to faint a pokemon in a field or something, referring to the sheep sucking.
This looks so cool can’t wait to see the trainers,evil team and legendary/mythical Pokémon you create
KDH4736 no I did
KDH4736 you know TH-cam’s broken right
I mean on some videos it says 0 views and 135 comments
Yep
As a Spanish speaker, Techuppi sounds too similar to "I suck you" in Spanish.
Jajaja si cierto, no me habia dado cuenta.
Hmm.
Makes sense. One of its evolutions is a Chupacabra.
it should stay for that reason
EL suck
Mega Matt that’s what Chupacabra would say to a sheep “I’m gonna suck your blood”
My family all own tons of huichol art. It's SO pretty. Thank you for highlighting it!!!
For the first pokemon, I think you did an amazing part with both color palettes and the design! It seems simple enough where you could think it'd be an original design. It's so simple you might think it's just a dog, but that's really good at times.
For it's first evolution, I thought it was too big and needed a middle one, but it's sometimes refreshing to break that pattern. From a gameplay aspect it's even super fun. I remember raising small tiny pokemon and then being super shocked and hyped when they suddenly turned into an awesome big guy. The fact that you even managed to incorporate a mythical creature (Chupacabra) as BAT concepts is also EXTREMELY fluid. Bats were very influential in Aztec/Mayan culture and a big part of Mexican culture and heritage too!
As for the last one, I want to point that (I imagine unknowingly) you actually implemented a very key element into the design of this pokemon: Alebrijes. They're little traditional (sometimes fictional) sculptures of animals and the like that are very colorful and at times bizarre. Your design implements concepts (IMO) from them, which shows me that you definetly did your research and understand the culture. VERY good job! I'd love to raise one of these pokemon and have them be my partner for life!
What about la llorona or "ghost lady of the river" for when you do ghost or water types? For when it comes to have a water and or ghost, that is one bit of Spanish folklore I know of a weeping woman who lost her child in a river. So she brings others into the river hoping to take her child back?
Ghost/water would fit perfectly
She was the baisis for one the songs in Coco. Pokemon based around "Dios de las muertos" would be awesome.
La llorona
@@osielangeles6368 the only change you made was a capitalization of "La". So I do not see what you were correcting for.
Looks like you got your wish!
Hey try a flying squirrel who is a fairy type. In its last evolution It gets Mexican design on the wings and the wings are so large that it can't fly. Rather, it is a thin squirrel who uses its wings as clothes now.
Why would large wings stop it from flying?
@@yokaiju8909 too heavy for their small body
Also it might be off balanced so if it tried to fly it'd just lose control and fall
@@Flaruwu the wings are what let it fly, and bigger wings mean more lifting force.
@@yokaiju8909 yes, but if the wings are too big it can't control them that well and it'll crash
As an MLP fan, hearing the name “Ahuizotl” made me real happy!
When i saw the hand tail and hear its dog like. I remember dareing doos arch emeny.
For the evolution process on this set, I could see the Chupacabra being the result of evolving in Mountainous terrain, and the Ahuizotl evolution being the result of evolving while on the Water/in a Swamp, hence why it's so hard to find them normally; people usually keep their little puppers away from the dangerous swamps and fast rivers!
I think a tanky Gila Monster Pokémon would be a good fit for a single stage poison type, it could focus on how its huge tail and tough scales make it like a walking canon that shoots venom at you, of course real life Gila Monsters don’t do this, but I think they could if they really wanted to.
Regional variant of Lickitung, make it a Poison Type and it could evolve into Lickilicky or have a new evolution
Single stage Pokemon aren't very memorable most of the time and have terrible stats most of the time
Imagine seeing a dog like creature climbing a mountain with a hand on it's butt
Same energy as a monkey climbing a tree with udders I mean a hand on its butt
I think it would be cool to base a Pokemon around the Ctenosaura also known as the spine-tailed lizard, maybe it could be one of those evolutionary lines that has a first stage that evolves differently under certain conditions like Eevee. Or just a single stage line :)
I have a idea of how Techuppi will evolve into it's two different forms. To evolve into Lupacabbra it needs to learn a health draining move, and for Zolupine it needs to learn a water type move that has a slowing effect. And both have to be at level 25.
