- Scandinavia. The home of the Vikings, Fjords, beautiful mountains, and Norse Culture/Mythology. It's a very interesting group of countries, and today I set my sights on them and talk about what Scandinavia might be like as a Pokemon Region! In this video I go over possible locations, brand new Pokemon ideas, and the potential story of a Scandinavia based Pokemon Region!

It's time for "Mr. Buddy: The Movie"
Just kidding, but for real, here's the longest video I've ever made! I've been working super hard on this one, so I hope you guys like it! (I'll be over there, passed out, if you need me)
Mr Buddy thank you Mr Buddy. It is so good to see a Pokémon video region of my home country
Mr Buddy Why is the Chinese Dragon fire when they are associated much more with water and life and recovery? Why not have the European Dragon be fire?
PLEASE EVENTUALLY DO THESE, Mr Buddy:
A. CANADA
B. ALASKA
C. RUSSIA
D. ROMANIA/TRANSYLVANIA
E. ITALY
F. SPAIN
G. MEXICO
H. BRAZIL
I. China
J. India
Sorry was such hard work, must say glad to see it, figured you'd given up on these region concept videos, since they so much work.
Mr Buddy what if the Iberian Peninsula (Spain,Portugal and Andorra)
Me as Scandinavian would absolutely love a Pokémon game like this.
Nintendo, hire this man.
Yeah Nintendo hire this man
Are u Danish?
I am Filipino I want region base off of Philippines.... roar
I kinda want a region based off Honduras
JS Rosenrød be a big map if it joins all Nordic countries but if they did make this Denmark Sweden Norway should have its own legendary
I'm honestly surprised that the three dragons of Norse mythology, Nidhoggr, Jormungandr and Fafnir, weren't represented as the starter pokemon. Nidhoggr could have been the grass one and learned some pretty potent poison type or life draining moves later to reflect his nature as a devourer of the dead, Jormungandr could have been the water one since Odin cast him into the ocean where he eventually grew so large he encircled the world, and Fafnir could have been the fire type since he generally showed all the stereotypical traits of a dragon and was the big inspiration for Tolkien's Smaug.
LadyMeiun I thought they were sorta based on them. One of the images was Nidhoggr, another was a snake. I figured they were Chinese and Japanese in appearance for aesthetic variety and because Nidhoggr and Jormungandr are typically portrayed as serpentine in some sense. I’m not sure about Fafnir though. There were other Dragons in Nordic Mythology though.
Jörmungandr is definitely not a dragon.
He is very much a serpent.
Nidhoggr is dragon-esque but I'm not sure.
Fafnir is straight up a dragon.
@@dirtyharry0191 Nidhögg is most defenitly a dragon
You know that the Kalos legendaries are based off of this trio right? It's a nice idea but Mr. Buddy probably didn't do it because it's been done before.
fafnir was even slayed by someone named sigurd
IKEA should have been a gym. It should have been impossible to get through.
YeS MaKe iT A MaZe OnE
normal type
The worst thing for me is when my parents take me to IKEA.
True, I had to stay two nights in IKEA before I got out.
@@ivyear308 wait for real ive never been there
I have two suggestions
1. You could make a sequel where Finland, Åland, faroe islands and iceland are in it like how they expanded unova in black/White 2
2. You could make Gotland a legendary location since it is the placera where the biggest viking treasure was found.
The animal that represents Gotland is actually the Hedgehoge, so it could be a location for Shaymin.
Gotland as a legendary location? AHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH Svalbard or even the lakes of Sweden or Bornholm are better
@@ludvighauger5044 Well, i had a logic reason.
@@Smirgergrad Gotland is represented by both hedgehog but also the gotlandic lamb
@@folo2007 Hedgehog is the only official, the Lamb is just on its coat.
Dear Gamefreak. PLEASE take notes! Seriously, for someone who absolutely loves cold regions, especially Scandinavia, a scandinavian themed Pokémon Region would be a dream come true.
Lyras Otaku
It is a cold region like Sinnoh we can see a bound between this regions
another dream come true would be a region based off Antarctica! A special south pole monument, towns and cities, penguin pokemon, the southern lights, etc.
No offense, but based on Gamefreak's recent track record, they'd butcher it. They ruined Galar & they were (a bit) wanting in Alola. They just care about money, and amassing it. It sucks, it REALLY does, but what can you do?
Why hasnt GameFreak hired him yet
Cus making games is one and making awesome videos is second
Because Nintendo doesn’t want to be like SEGA and listen to their fans
Well story department is one thing and developing is another
Yall are taking this comment way too seriously
Probably because it's in Japan, and Japanese don't really understand English. Even simple words that everyone else understands aren't something you can expect the average Japanese guy to know. So they don't really understand what he is even saying. That might be be why.
SUDDEN IDEA:
-The Prophecy is not referring to the player, but us actually talking about Sigurd.
Why this could work:
-Sigurd obtained one of the Starters from the egg, trained and befriended it over time.
-After Sigurd's change of heart, he makes it his mission to change Team Berserk and stop their Dragon-killing tyrannical ways.
-He promises to fight against Team Berserk alongside the player if they ever attack the region again.
I know it's just a weird little fan idea, but I think it's pretty good. It would subvert the cliché of the prophecy talking always about the main protagonist and it would be a cool plot twist. The player is not the one referred to in the prophecy, but instead is the one who acts as the catalyst for the prophecy to come to fruition.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this idea, Mr.Buddy. But I know that you're a busy man and I'm just a random fan so I know that might not be very likely.
Feel free to take this idea and use it, or some version of it, in the continuation to Team Berserk's story if you want to. I won't mind!
(But again, just sharing this idea).
He gives you luv! That's a good sign! c:
PokeChiefDude I think Sigurd should've died. An idea for his fate would have his body being frozen before shattering from a great height.
Team Berserk Grunt: Hey you, you're finally awake.
Nice Skyrim reference
Meme not approved
You were trying to cross the border, right?
Lmaoooo

As a Norwegian I approve of this message. Seriously though, I wasn't planning on watching all of it, but ended up doing so as your enthusiasm was contagious. Well researched, and a lot of great ideas made this a very enjoyable watch!
I am from Denmark😁

Norway, the perfect location for Trainer "Red", so many snow/ice covered mountains to select among... By the way thanks for doing my home country or at least one of them (hint: the other is the land of the hussars) :)
Commonwealth Realm hey didn't see ya there.
Is the other Poland?
Commonwealth Realm yeh
No Sweden.
Maybe we would see Red in many places, because this place has a lot hills and mountains if I remember correctly.
Here's a definition of Scandinavia (from a Scandinavian):
Scandinavia = Sweden, Norway, Denmark
Nordics = Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Faroe Islands
Scandinavia is based around the Scandinavian Mountains, which is on the border between Norway and Sweden.
also Finland is the best
Ja vi elsker dette landet som det stiger frem
@@oonkymppa5923 No it's not
@@maddoxvalerioolsson9735 yes it is
Sverige är bäst!
My fave thing about your pokemon regions is *the lack of fighting fire starters*
I can't even begin to think how much time must have gone into this. I'm really floored at the amount of detail, lore, and worldbuilding put into this video. I was stunned by its length at first, but I watched it all the way through and I'm really glad I did. This was brilliant! I subscribed in a heartbeat. Keep up the phenomenal work!
Pokemon company needs to see these video. They should hire Buddy and these fan artists.
I dunno how many people will make it to the end of this video, but there's a part where you can make your own team of Pokemon for the region, so reply to this comment with the teams you would use for a Scandinavian Region! (Where all my Lavendor fans at?)
Mr Buddy well, the vid is really long, bit i canfeel already that it's a good vid!😍😍😍😍😉
>Scroling through subscription box
>Proceeds to screech when seeing a new Mr Buddy video
My evil team would be Team Calor(Calor is Latin for heat I think)they will try to get rid of all the snow and ice in the region and try to make it a warm,normal region with no snow.They will use fire and fighting types to beat all the ice types.The 1st admin will use a slugma and a machop.They second will use a heatmor,ponta and pancham.Thwy final admin will use a Blaziken,houndoom and gurdurr.Then the leader of Team Calor uses conkeldurr,mega houndoom,arcanine,machamp and macargo.The reason the leader want to get rid of all the ice pokemon,ice and snow is because when they were a kid they were walking with their family when a wild weavil attacks them the leaders mom and dad save them but also die and from that day they have hated ice pokemon,snow and ice.If you read all of this thank you for your time!!😊
Mr Buddy, will be Iceland and Groenland a kind of orange island for the scandivia or will be the region composing Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia a kind of Johto to Scandivia?
Lavendor represent!
“I’ll only focus on the countries always considered Scandinavia” Me, a Finn, hoping he would ignore that technically Finland isn’t Scandinavian: I cri everytim
Would be cool if there was a region based on the whole norden. I could imagine island being a post-game area and home to a legendary or mythical.
As someone who has great interest in both Scandinavia and Pokémon, this video is really cool to see. :D After getting 2 regions based off of tropical locations, I really want Game Freak to take a 180 and make a region like this. Keep up the good work. :)
Wiimonkey2 well Sinoh is colder and snowy
Wiimonkey2 its werry interesting for me becous am from Norway
Fredmon Jag är svensk
Wiimonkey2 the issue i found before watching this video (as a swede) is i can’t find any place where fire pokemons would make sense unless we would count iceland as scandinavia. Due to few Active volcanoes and warm places.
Wiimonkey2 I
That sand dune in denmark could actually be interesting. You said that it moves around due to wind, so there could be a mechanic in game where its position changes based on the day of the week revealing new areas to explore.
Jacob Szmon love this idea!
maybe the unknown could have a regional form based on norse runes
YEEEEEEES
Damn that's a good idea
What about Odin's rune
Unown
Good idea.
It would be great to have a regional version of Gyarados inspired in Jormunandr!! Just an idea to think about not to depreciate your incredible work and patience. I admire you!!
Like a regional variant!
Long boi
If you mean Jörmungandr The Midgard Snake. That’s What Zygarde Is Based On. Would Still Be Awesome Though.
Zygarde is more like fenrir
@@thelivingdead1728
Fenrir is a wolf Giant.
I kind of want to see a region where the player and one of the rivals start off in the evil team, and steal the starters, and then you see the error of your ways and defect, and your rival will (who stays in the team) treats you how like blue treated red, and becomes an admin in the evil team. I think that might be cool
RED pokemon colosseum
Scandinavian/ Viking themed Pokemon
Step 1: Catch your Pokemon
Step 2: Train your team to be the very best
Step 3: Hop in a longboat
Step 4: Row, row, row your boat
Step 5: Raid England!
NamSoft69 what the
Well I am Saxon so I am in.
raid galar XD
I'm in
Row row row ya boat,
. . .
Wats that?
RAID IT
Wow, that regional variant of Gardevoir sounds amazing...
He should have made one for Gallade.
Me, a dragon type master seeing the evil team is dedicated to killing all dragons: *TRIGGERED*
Heh, that just means more ghost types for me to use
I love this region, I train Ice Types! :D
No worries, I learned how to use steel types
My trainer is a dark type gym leader and evil team member, his teams the same except my sister, glaceon.
Lance: So you have chosen... death.
Scandinavian Stantlers should be able to use FLY!
lmao
DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW
@@beckyandrews9747 sounds like Wild Charge to me
@@dysfunctionalcaterpillar790 The OP is referring to santas raindeer.
A Dark/Ice Houndour/Houndoom based on a Viking would be perfect for this region.
SonicLamb No, either a Fighting-Dark type or an Ice-Dark type Houndoom based on Fenrir.
Or based on Fenrir
I can't watch this all right now so I have put this into a watch later tab and am so excited to watch it on Sunday!!! :D
This could really become my favorite Pokemon game of all time. You really created an awesome, vivid and goosebump-worthy storyline. Gamefreak should take your script and start developing or I'll start a petition or a crowdfund I don't care haha. Massive compliment to you and everyone involved!
What if Ethiopia/ Central East Africa was a region? I mean we've never really had a African region. The evil team could be could be pirates like the ones off the coast of Somalia. You could also borrow Egyptian mythology maybe as the Legendary Pokemon. The region would also have a savannah in the southern most countries with small villages. The region also contains the island of Madagascar where you could catch rare Pokemon only found there.
These are just some of my ideas. Hope you like them.
Chespin907 I think it would be cool if Madagascar was the safari zone city.
The player would have to complete the game before their character starves
In before they pull a Diamond and Pearl and only have 2 Water-types in the whole region (starter and Bibarel)
Team Neo Plasma were pirates :/
And there could be a regional variant of the Honedge line based on the primary weapon of the African hero Mwindo, who used a magical flyswatter that could basically summon lightning and revive the dead. Sooo... Electric/Fairy type.
Honestly, I didn't expect to watch and stay interested the entire video, but you have definitely proved me wrong! I'm very impressed with every aspect of this video, especially how it relates to the real world, and would love to see this as a real game.
This is one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam. I'm not kidding. The amount of research you put into this is incredible and everything fits together so well. I really want this to be an actual game!
ME TOOO! D; but it will probably not
If it is I would buy it
Names: "Pokémon Lightning" and "Pokémon Thunder".
Meh. Based too much on Thor.
@@auhs6240 Hm. Probably right. =/
Perhaps Pokémon: Hammer Bold and Pokemon: Spear Brave (Reflecting not only Thor, but Odin as well.)
@@Pastamist Could work, actually! Ô_Ô
Yeah... I like it! Awesome job, man! Have a cookie! C:
Ah, yes, the best flavour of ice cream.
And because it's ice cream, it ties in with the cold & the snow! Very smart!
No more HM01, we've got AXES!
Finn here. You did right leaving us out of the region: Not only are we not part of Scandinavia. (It'd be called Fenno-Scandinavia if you count us in.) But we also have entirelydifferent mythology to draw on.
Oh right, you asked opinions on what location next. I guess I'm obliged to suggest Finland. :P
I really appreciate you making a video this long. I love how you are dedicated to doing Pokémon videos and making your fans/subscribers happy. Thank you
I must say. A little disappointed that nothing was based on Fenrir, but everything is still wonderful!
Still better than Hisui
Zygarde is already based on the children of Loki. 10% is Fenrir, 50% is Jörmungandr, and 100% is Hel.
I would freaking love playing this. The story, the geography, the designs, I love it all. (And I almost died laughing when I saw you made Trofors an area, it's my hometown, so that was super fun considering it has a population of 900 people )
Ever since I played XY, I've wanted a Pokémon region based on Scandinavia. I thought it would be cool with a place that is mostly covered in snow and ice. And I think your ideas are absolutely EXCELLENT!! Not just because I'm Swedish, but because they are all different and very clever!
First of all, to have the starter Pokémon being all dragon type is awesome! It's new and makes it more interesting. And receiving them as an egg instead of a lv 5 Pokémon is brilliant! I really want that aspect in the next game now. Also, having them actually being important to the main plot is fantastic and I'm almost angry at Nintendo for not thinking of this earlier!!
I liked the characters you come up with and the new Pokémon are absolutely perfect! I LOVE a legendary based on Sleipnir, and the Scandinavian form of Aegislash is genius.
This video was WELL worth an hour of my life. Amazing job! And a BIG kudos to the artists. The art in this video is stunning.
Um...No? Random, rude person? I never said that I thought Scandinavia was mostly covered in snow and ice. I DID however say that I'm Swedish, so from that context you could logically assume that I'm perfectly aware of what amount of snow and ice there usually are around here.
The point I was trying to make was that in comparison to other Pokémon games, where snow is usually restricted to one town or one cave per world, it would be COOL with a Pokémon game that is the opposite. Where most areas are covered in snow and ice instead. And as Mr Buddy has shown, a region based on Scandinavia would fit perfectly considering large parts of Norway and Sweden having a subarctic climate.
I wasn't expecting to having to explain this in such detail, but I hope this will ease your easily triggered mind.
It sounds like Sinnoh region of Europe, I Like It. Also I want the counting of routes to not start at 1 like in Hoenn and Sinnoh since Europe has open borders.
TheBlackSquirrel jag undrar bara vart ÅLAND är en av de viktigaste delarna av Sverige.
yes! I'm Swedish too! en region baserad på Skandinavien låter skitcoolt XD
men vissa delar av Sverige har typ aldrig snö. här i Skåne har vi plusgrader på vintern:(
I honestly can't wait until a Mr Buddy what-if region video has a enemy-to-friend rival, kind of like Silver in Gold and Silver
Robyn Carlisle Sigurd is literally in this video
They need to hire you: game freak devs have lost there motivation and they need someone fresh like you and your friends
Dashall Harvey you guys and your expectations are what is killing them
@@acetrainer_zack2455 Exactly
I’m also hoping you don’t think of _Galar_ as proof of that...
@@acetrainer_zack2455 That and the Pokémon Company's expectations. Game Freak has made a Pokémon game or two every other year to every year!
dislike because someone hade to and also you try thinking of an original idea with a time limit
When this scandinavian story ends it could continiue in the other nordic countries Finland and Iceland there could be more Pokémon and some new gyms and the story continiues... like after the events on this video.
What about making a direct sequel, with the areas of Finland and the part of Russia that's there as a second accessible region (like Kanto in Gold and Silver), and Iceland as Team Bezerk's homeland and a third mini-region in and of itself? A region currently ruled by the evil team has never been done before.
What if it is a sequel that happens like ten to twenty years after this. The main character would be the son/daughter of Sigurd while there are still some members of Team Berserk left (maybe leaded by Kára or her child). Sigurd wants you to defeat her because he is not able to do ist himself. He tells you that you have to travele to a new country. So maybe the story will start in Finland but you have to travel to Iceland maybe even greenland to complete the story. Because of the very unique landshape of Iceland there is a legendary that will only appear there. At least that sounds like some kind of story...
Yeah and theres just moomins all around and no one in Finland will talk to you C:
still in the first 8 minutes, but I've watched other videos of yours and I really think Nintendo should hire you!!!! I absolutely adore your process and level of detail and passion you put into these!!!!!
Melodicsiren facts
I totally agree
Agreed
I think it would be cool if there was a post story episode based on Raganrok, where Sigurd returns and warns of a new strong trainer trying to end the world. The player trainer, rival and Sigurd would have to find the All-Tree and travel through to the different worlds of Norse mythology to stop the new evil trainer. While on the All-Tree each of your traveling trio encounter and catch one of the three Kalos legendaries. The three must then use the power of the three Kalos legendaries to stop the new evil leader and evil Pokémon, based on Fenris Wolf.
Wayne Keller I kinda thought of something like that, I just didn’t include sigard or the world tree like you did...good job
Interesting thing about the starters is they have an important parallel with the Unova starters, as they too are based on European, Chinese, and Japanese royalty respectively
oh I am SO hyped for this. im gonna add to this comment as i watch it so its gonna be a little disjointed and very very long.
This actually came out to be like, a full-length essay, so in case you don't want to read all that here's a 4-point summary, aha:
1) I've always been kind of upset that I can't get an ice type in the early game, so I love the idea of a very snowy region.
2) The Norse-legendaries-in-France never made sense to me and I'm glad you brought up their connection here. Also, I really like Sublurk.
3) I love ALL these characters so much. Your stories are my favorite parts about your videos and Sigurd especially (and how HE is the one who fulfills the prophecy!) is just... wow. It's so good.
4) most of the rest of this is me gushing about how good this video is and posing random vaguely-related questions
anyway. the actual essay i typed out is below.
Starting with location!
Oh yeah, it's always kind of bugged me that pokemon games only have icy or mountainous regions late-game, and only one area of snow? I never get an ice-type early on in game which means they rarely make it onto my final team. I'd love to have a real snowy region for once, or at least just get the chance to catch a snorunt earlier than RIGHT BEFORE THE E4
I love this group of bog pokemon. I mean all the organizational pokemon-per-area are good but, the bog ones especially, probably because again ghost types arent all that common haha
(a sidenote, but the superhero-nerd side of me is hung on Thor: Ragnarok as a pokemon game. I'm not even sure how that would work. But related to that tangent, have you ever considered making "what if" videos based on preexisting franchises, like a crossover of sorts? as just a kind of example, my friend and I created an entire world based around the concept of Gravity Falls being part of the pokemon world, including the region layout, gym leaders, and plot, so it's definitely possible to put a very original twist on these things; it would just be really interesting to see you make a video about some other franchise taking place in the pokemon world, especially since it's a good excuse to deviate from the typical pokemon storyline of "beat the gyms, catch the legendary, be the champion" and make up whatever based on the source material; it forces you to plan the region around the characters instead of the characters around the region, too, which could be interesting. i also might have already asked you this so, sorry if it sounds like a repeat! this was a long tangent my apologies)
A hometown that's actually on an interesting location that could be a gateway to a deeper mystery or transportation? Please? -and yes, early-game ice types!!!
These places all sound so scenic. I can actually feel how much research and thought you put into this and it's absolutely amazing. (yess, ski resort...) ((your pronunciation of the cave made me laugh)) I love the idea of secret-base IKEA. And I totally agree on the call to make the bridge bigger to underline its importance.
I was wondering when Valhalla was gonna come up- it makes perfect sense for a league area! Also, that art is amazing.
Onto the new pokemon!
I really appreciate how you tied in the XY legendaries into this world; it always kind of confused me that they put Norse-based creatures into France. I'm LOVING these ralts/kirlia/gardevoir designs; did you know that hulder were actually often enslaved by elves, and the tail was seen as a reason for them to be inferior? At least, that's one interpretation I've heard.
And- ah yes, Mjolnir as Pokemon. Although, in my head Mjolnir would almost be a legendary or a standalone pokemon, mostly because it stands out the most as something that Thor and Thor alone can have, and there's tons of mythos about Mjolnir being stolen; a storyline about a legendary based on Mjolnir being stolen by an evil team would've fit right in. But I can't deny that these look cool.
I love Sublurk. I want one. (wow, Wolverine? I thought this was a Thor video, not an X-men one; jokes, jokes) Ohhh I love these trolls! This was a great way to reference both types of trolls and to expand on fairy typing.
TRIPLE DRAGON STARTERS!!!! AW YEAH!!!! I mean, it does make the starters feel somewhat homogenous or like eevee-varient ripoffs by dint of being different-typed versions of the same base, but you know what, I've waited long enough for a dragon type starter. Although, having only dragons to pick from at the start of your journey in an ice-filled region would pose an interesting challenge... (I want one of these fire starters- two. Ran and Shaw.)
This boar looks so gorgeous. And yes, Loki's son- you left that out of the video, although I can guess why, aha- this is gorgeous as well. I might've made a catchable non-legendary based on Sleipnir (maybe a horse that gets more legs as it evolves?), but it definitely makes more sense for this guy to be a legend considering there's only one of him. (What, no Ratatoskr? A giant screaming squirrel wasn't good enough for you? (jokes!))
Into the story- this is my favorite part of all your videos. I'm so hyped.
Woo! I love fanfictions! Hey, man, everything ever written is a fanfiction when you think about. Don't beat yourself up about it, your ideas are great!
Man I love your lore. This isn't really a comment directly related to the video but the lore you make up is always so good. It's my absolute favorite part of all your videos.
Fjolnir! I love him already. (is he Odin? wait, does that mean your rival is Thor? Or one of Thor's kids?)
I would die for Sylvatica. I've needed a lore-based character for so long.
This is SUCH a cool way to get your starter. Oh my goodness this is so creative and good? It's way more engaging than most games' "im a professor! here's 3 pokemon" shtick, aha- I love it! This prophecy thing is also such a great way to kickstart a quest.
Sigurd is the villain... phenomenal. (is he wearing kommo-o scales?! rude!) I really like the idea that the evil team has, by default, an advantage over the player's starter, no matter what they choose. It raises the stakes a little more.
The little berserk grunts popping up behind the stones was so funny to me. I don't know why it was very silly. AH YEAH THE VALKYRIE!!! (assorted yelling noises) I would die for her too.
(Ohhh, the evil team having your starter's type advantage is such a good idea...) Evil weather legendary? Nah, just catch a castform. That'll definitely fix it.
Aw, Sigurd redemption arc for best arc. Wait- if he actually has a redemption arc, does that make him the champion that saves the day and brings a new era, according to the prophecy? This is all speculation right now, I'm typing this as I hear about the battle for the boar.
OH! I WAS RIGHT! I love you Sigurd. ([screaming] PEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAACE)
I absolutely love this story... man, your stories are always amazing. Maybe Team Berserk even makes cameos in ""future"" regions, drifting from region to region like the vikings drifted from land to land.
Gym leaders; does this Freyr guy offer any information on the boar legendary, seeing as it's technically Freyr's in actual north mythos? I've been waiting for Fafnir all video and I have not been let down.
I've also been waiting for Loki all video- like, actually, wondering when he was gonna come up. And again, I have not been let down.
Oh, and my team:
Scandinavian Gardevoir, Sublurk, Ograss, Shuppet/Banette, Froslass/Glalie, and (of course) Ignizen. Is this a balanced team? Of course not. Are they my favorite pokemon in this region? Absolutely.
Dangit, I want to reply to this but I don't have enough time to write an entire response! I'm gonna go through piece by piece and reply to things!
I’m not reading all that but I’m assuming long story short you love the time and effort in these videos and would want this to happen. I agree. I love the commitment
I loved your essay. I would also add Miltank as a regional variable too. Maybe more second generation variants as all the ones we had were from the first one. We already have Stantler so Girafarigg also needs one. And as you are going to need a fire type if you choose grass dragon starter, maybe fire type versions of Sentret and Furret? SO you have something for the early game. If not you are going to be destroyed.
A note for nintendo: hire him.
Yarib yeah that's true I work for Nintendo and we have 720000 more alolan forms for the new region all from Kanto though
I totally agree!!
Yarib Good thing Nintendo doesn't develop the Pokémon games then.
Yarib Pokémon Sun & Moon, and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, were both pretty unique. they didn't play it *as* safe for those games.
Ni chan. Gamefreak actually makes the games
Nintendo just sells them and does the other little details
As a Swede I’d love a Scandinavian Pokémon game, with a “dalahäst” Pokémon :)
Grass Hope JA det skulle vara bra
or a pokemon based on the Gävle goat... it would be a fire type
It's the Voltorb of the area. Only knows selfdestruct :D
So a Grass type Dala Horse Pokemon
Omg yes
This is a really awesome idea! I’m a huge mythology nerd, so this makes me super happy! I love all the designs and lore!
Also I don’t know if this was mentioned but Sleipnir is the son of Loki in Norse mythology.
Just wanted to say:
I love this, I'm Norwegian and I just can't believe how well made this is! I love the Old Pokemon variants, they would fit right into our climate, I honestly think you improved Stantler (never liked that Pokemon). I like the idea that you played around with "hulders", and incorporated that into the ralts line, while making an entirely new "Nøkken". I saw it throughout the video before you revealed it, and I recognized it right away, which was really fun! although the concept is interesting, im not really a fan of the dragon starterline. Love the legendaries, and I love the designs on all the Pokemon, they are so well made. The story behind everything (Pokemon, lore, cities etc.) and how it ties together is just amazing! Never stop what you are doing please!
Hedda Ludvigsen I’m Norwegian too. I live in Stavanger :D
Im from Sarpsborg c:
Kristoffer coooool!
This is such a well made video! As someone from Sweden I have seen this video floating around for a while now but never clicked on it because 'ugh, yeah, vikings, we get it'. As much as I LOVE our mythology, it tends to be very hollywood-ized and most of our other culture completely ignored and therefor it´s really predictable, but this was so well rounded! I love it!!
I was in the same position and I could write an exact copy of your comment! I feel it really captures the scandinavian spirit well
Vikingar though
Norge! Norge! N o r g e ! ! !
Always nice when sweden gets some attention
I’m actually infuriated at myself for putting off watching this video till now. CAUSE THIS IS REALLY FRIKIN GOOD
This is very well done. My only complaint would be the starters. I love them being part dragon and how they tie into the story, I would just rather the fire type be based on a wyvern/Monsterous Nightmare/Noivern. Also, I think the water type should be more serpentine like traditional sea dragons from the area. Grass is good, though I would have it based more on Earth dragons, flightless wingless bulky creatures.
Also, I love Sigurd's design. Props to the artist for showcasing him as an accomplished dragon hunter. He has Kommo-o scales for armor and his axe is 2 Haxorus jaw blades. Not sure who the jaw bone around his neck is from, but I am sure it is another dragon like Dragonite or Garchomp. Too bad he did not have a Salemence wing cape.
All in all, amazing.
Fits in better with Scandinavian myth this way.
Weren't really ancient Norse wyverns, and while their were Sea Serpents, (CoughcoughJormngundrcoughcough) they weren't prominent.
Except Jormngundr.
Who would really be a better Water/dark or maybe Water/poison honestly, living at the bottom of the world and being... Just, so, so evil. And really venomous.
Not a dragon.
On Sigurd's design he has a Noivern's mane as his cape-thing too and I totally agree on the starters. You have plenty of room to base them all into Norse mythology.
I would be kinda cool if there was a scene that despite the bond between Sigurd and the starter, he understands that he got it through petty thievery and has to push himself to try and give it back. Then the professor says “no you can keep it” and Sigurd goes from distraught to ecstatic.
I noticed that Sigurd has armor like Kommo-o and an axe from Haxorus tufts. Very nice!
I love how much thought, love, mythology, and backstory you gave to this region. I absolutely love your "What if" series is amazing and I love hearing your "fanfiction" and the ideas you can come up with. Keep up the good work! This is certainly the longest, but best region idea you've come up with. Good luck topping it and good luck on your other videos.
Sigurd's design is siiick. Love the Kommo-o scales and the dragon jaw as a collar!! And the axe is a Haxorus jaw!
this is actually so innovative and the way you get your starters is so amazing, i would literally buy this right now i love all of your story lines
Denmark, Norway and Sweden are Scandinavia. the Faroe islands are part of Denmark. Finland and Iceland, along with Scandinavia are the Nordic Countries. People including those latter three are confused and mistaken, much like people often mess up Great Britain, the British Isles, the United Kingdom etc. when they haven't taken the time to learn the different distinctions properly. So yes, Your choice to stick to Norway, Sweden and Denmark was the correct one.
As far as your northermost locations go, on top of the northern lights, you could maybe also include the eternal night during winter and the midnight sun in the summer. On the topic of functional seasons, google "Jotunheimen høst" and see what gorgeous stuff could be done for fall. Also another idea is to model the shrines for the legendaries to look like ancient stave churches. Overall though I am absolutely astounded at how much solid research you've done on scandinavian geography and landmarks!
I. LOVE. EVERY. SINGLE. POKEMON. SO MUCH.
especially the dragon starters. they are. the best. And the story too. It's so fantastic. I love it so much. How did you even come up with all this? I want this game now. please.
I love how much work you put into this. It really shows how passionate you are about this video. The amount of research is just staggering and I always love hearing the hypothetical games’ plot, since that’s my favorite part of your videos (English major speaking). The characters are really strong and the way that you get the starter is super interesting. I’d definitely love to see Berserk’s story continue into another region, kinda like how N came back for B2W2.
My team would probably be the fire starter, the regional bird, the snover line, the regional shinx line, and the phantump line. Not very balanced, but whatever these are the ones I like. Though honestly I’d be happy with any starter. I love any Pokémon that starts off adorable but later on looks like something I’d ride into battle on.
For a future regional video, would you be interested in a region based on countries in Central America or the Caribbean? Just a very general suggestion.
Fun fact, Loke is Sleipner's mom. He turned into a female horse and got impregnated by a stallion. So that is why Sleipner is so special. Perhaps the Loke gymleader could have some kind of connection to the horse legendary?
Froyduhr Norse *LOKI*
Actually the story is odin turned into a horse impregnated a mare and she gave birth to slephniir. Loki is the father of Hel and Fenrir.
lunerlilly every version I've read had Loki get impregnated by a stallion. Never heard one with Odin being the sire
Froyduhr Norse and Discord's Daughter are right about this.
Loki turned into mare and got impregnated by a stallion named Svadilfari, later giving birth to Sleipnir. This gives Loki one of his titles "Mother of monsters". Like mentioned before, Loki is father to Fenrir and Hel, but also to Jörmungandr the world serpent.
All that Odin and Sleipnir got to do with eachother is that Sleipnir is Odin's mount.
Loke is his real name, Loki is the English translation.
I just found out about this series and I'm loving it! I would love to see your take on a Pokemon Region inspired by Brazil
Dude you've earned a sub just from the sheer amount of work and research you did for this awesome video, great job you killed it.
Z Rogers i agree. Subbed for the same reason.
If Game Freak doesn't use these ideas, someone has to make a fan game
Agreed. There are many good ideas, in this. Attention to detail, too.
TheShinyPyroar I will, but I need work from my classmates
Man, I want to play this NOW D: I really liked how you tied everything together, it gave the story some depth that the original pokemon games are lacking. Great video, love from Norway!
As a personal fan of dragon types, I have a huge bone to pick with Team Berserk.
You are not the only one. I like Dragon-Types too, so thrashing these jerks would be fun
@@LinKueiKhannel mount up, riders. We got a rival team to thrash. Team Berk will rise.
I'm from Sweden, and we learned in school than Scandinavia was Sweden, Norway and Denmark, and thoose conuntires togehter with Iceland, Finland and the islands counts at "The North", and people often confuse them. You've done an awesome job on this, I'd love to play through this, Nintendo, get on it. However I feel you left out the indigonus nomad same people that hear reindeer in the north. Maybe add a town based on one of their camps.
Blixthand if you combined Sweden Denmark Norway and Finland it's called fenno-scandinavia
Oh, did not know that, or maybe I forgott, We learned this in 4rth grade, which was almost 11 years ago for me, and then we never brought it up again. I'll remember this.
S P O O G actually the correct name for Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway is ‘Fenno-scandia’
same thing whatever
i go to a swedish speaking school where we call it fenno-skandinavien which translates to fenno-scandinavia
S P O O G sorry if i sounded rude lmao. that's not an excuse though, because even though we do call it Fenno-Skandien in Denmark, my uncle who is married to a swedish guy, always told me that it's called 'Fenno-scandien' in Sweden as well.
How about a region based on Italy? Plenty of Coastal towns, a volcano, the Alps to the North, and a large central city complete with a Colosseum? It's practically made to be a region, plus imagine an evil team with a Rennaisance theming? That would be super cool
As in italian, it's perfect. tho there are more places to be noted: the sleeping vulcano, the caves, the high road "we are full of them" . and for the Evil team rennaisance.. i think not. especialy since they are tryin to abolish Art in high and middle school . T:T please, we already are fighting for that
A renesaince-themed evil team? Sooo beats the Romans I thought of. I want this now
Dakota Harmon What about a mafia-based team (not the actual mafia, their role and location are far too limited). Also I'm pretty sure a Pokemon spin-off game had a region based on a part of Northern Italy.
kaeden le , That would be an interesting one to work with if they could differentiate from Team Rocket enough. It might just be that I haven't played a Kanto game in forever, but they were really mafia-esque if I remember right
Dakota Harmon The motives could be different to mirrior the real life mafia in that they literally run the town they operate in, and if you own a small business in said town and you don't pay the mafia... lets just say you're not gonna have a fun time, also the politicians in the town have active ties to the mafia, so usually they turn a blind eye to these crimes. The mafia (interestingly the 'mafia' didn't name themselves the mafia if I remember, they don't even acknowlage the name) also protects their clients and their client's property through means of fear and threats. So maybe this evil team can be a lot more down to earth.
Dragon type starters in a region full of ice...
I smell a potential challenge!
LillKrull like Fairy starters in a poison type region
Not really, because it is not A dragon type before evolution stage 3, And by then you have other pokemon to counter the ice ones
Lavendor Line: *inhabit a region filled with ice-types*
Lavendor Line: "guess i'll die"
You know, after watching so many of your creative videos, I've been thinking that GameFreak would have alot to gain by hiring you. You have so many incredible ideas that would honestly be amazing to play through, and I'm sure your creativity would meld wonderfully with GameFreak's.
And because of what SEGA recently did for the creation of Sonic Mania, I'm sure it's not impossible at all.
Good job with this, Mr.Buddy. Keep up the great work. You're the reason I have been working on my own Pokemon story.
I Know right he’s So AMAZING!!
He inspired me too
NINTENDO GET ON THIS. HIRE THIS MAN.
no no like my favorite region is Sinnoh simply because I love the snowy mountain cities like. I NEED this region that is all snow it would be gorgeous.
This is so well thought out with the research on the places and mythology and the story is really good like wow, I've always wanted to create a whole Pokemon region but never had the time for something this but YOU DID IT it's amazing! I need to play this game like, wow
Also I saw someone give the idea for a Korean region and I must agree as long as there is a reference to Kpop and BTS xD
AND IF YOU EVER NEED ART FOR ONE OF THESE VIDEOS I VOLUNTEER AS A TRIBUTE
INDEED. Your thoughts are exactly same as mine..
If Nintendo does not do this then i have something to say to them which is: F&%# you Nintendo!
tai so I take it you live in snow point city in the Pokémon world?
Finally finished the video and HOT DANG! It is amazing these videos only continue to get better and better every single time.
I live in Stavanger and Stavanger is also know for discoverng oil at the Coast of Norway. So Stavanger is the oil capital of Norway.
Wow. I'm only half way through the video but I already feel truly speechless. The amount of work and research behind this video is overwhelming but it's so much fun and interesting to watch. I love how you united the Scandinavian folklore with the Pokemon world. Also, I'm learning a lot! Like and new sub for you :).
Really good esspecially the character designs. I really liked the Professor. Also I picture something like Sigurd and Kara beeing in love. And her left arm looks unnatural there could be a backstory were the couple had a secret friendship with a Dragon-Type and one day the dragon got into a rage attacking Kara who lost an arm and while protecting Kara Sigurd also was injured and got scarred for life. And so Sigurd began to hate Dragon Types and started his siege against them. Kara follows him out of love but doesn't like to see him drowned in his hate but is determined to help him to seek revenge because she knows that he is angry not because of himself but for her. Just because I like a little bit of romance in Storys ^^.
There should be a fake out gym in the abandoned factory where the gym leader left a note that he left to that other city
Even as sad as I am that Finland got left out, I LOVE the roster you've put together. It just feels right.
"Hel" is the ruler of the underworld in Norse, not the place itself. The underworld is named "Helheim", which means "Hel's Home"
Hel was the name of the place and the person in earlier versions, and later versions called the place Helheim.
HA. Your source is Wikipedia. LMAO
HuskyCharmanderz ikr. What is a better source, a translated Wikipedia page or a person from the country of the mythology's origin, whom have been raised on stories of the mythos.
Seamus D
Helheim means Hel's Home
Your source is vague, and can easily have been misconstrued. Also it's from Wikipedia.
Yo....... Sigurd’s battle axe and tunic... Dark, but incredibly cool touch.
Ulises Alvarado were there any other dragon type references on sigard? Or just the axe and tunic?
Captain Munchlax The jaw-necklace thing is most definitely, but I couldn’t tell ya which dragon it belongs to! The fur could also be a Drampa’s but maybe that’s a stretch on my part
Ulises Alvarado maybe the hair and jaw are from tyrantrum
The fur could be a Noivern ‘mane’
JoftheTman that’s true
Beautiful. As a norwegian myself this was purely an outstanding and well-made video. I really wish this would be an alternative for a new region. The region would have some overall better oppourtunities for an original and innovating storyline than (in my opinion) other regions decided to go with
true! as I havent played the game in a quite a while I would definitely pick it up and play it (håper den får interessant og bra pokemons)
Hej från Sverige
JEG ER OSÅ NORSK! :D
My personal favorite fictional region of yours! Thank you all for your work!
I love this.
This made me come back to Pokemon, actually. Hehe.
Um...If its ok, may you please do a *Chinese Region* ?
Or maybe a *Korean Region* ?
You don't have to, though. I understand. You probably wont see this comment anyway hehe.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for all your hard work. :3
I really wasn't expecting the channel creator to like this. Thank you. :3
Once more, thank you for all the love.
isn't Sino the chinese region?
Sinnoh is based of Hokkaido in Japan not China
I think a region based on Korea would be a little... awkward for a Pokemon game, technically speaking, since Korea has some bad history with Japan. They invaded them during WW2, colonized it, and tried to erase Korean culture in favor of their own. That's why, until the year 2000, South Korea banned anything containing references to Japanese culture, and a handful of Pokemon episodes, among who knows what else, got banned as a result.
Just the fact that Stavanger was included made my heart swell, also weird hearing you talk about a street that I literally walked through today in a video like this, fun!
Togelover dude I feel you. I grew up in stavanger for a while and it was amazing.
IVE BEEN TO THAT STREET TOO
Mr Buddy I love the series and I'd like to recommend Ireland for a future region. It may be small but it has large environmental & geographical diversity and an interesting culture, tradition and mythology. The region could have little bits of all earlier regions (except deserts) and unique bogs and deserts
"This blizzard will surely destroy all the dragons."
Kyurem: "Oh, no. Anyway..."
This video really pleased my Scandinavian narcissism. Really, really good job! Loved everything, although, it would be cool if some of the nothern parts of the region was based loosely on the sami people. They are a native people in Scandinavia who is very known for their reindeer herding. Still, amazing job, and I REALLY loved the pokémon inspired by Nøkken. The tale of Nøkken really freaked me out as I kid. Cheers, Jonas from Oslo
The Sami inspired people would be awesome!!!!!!
I kinda figured that's what the main characters were designed on, the bright colors and really fuzzy and serviceable design looked like a lot of the Sami pictures I've seen. Though, the idea of a town or society based around raising, taming, working, and nurturing (scandinavia) Stantlers and winter Sawsbucks in some homage to Xerneas would be awesome, and maybe an in game means of capturing a Xerneas like they did with Palkia/dialga/giratina in I want to say Kalos or so.
Im truly impressed by how much detail you put into this! All the characters and the story were very charming, and I feel like Ive learned a little more about my Scandinavian roots from your research! This would make for a really fun and unique addition to the Pokemon series ^^ keep up the good work!!
I literally said out loud "Oh yes" when I saw the female evil team grunt, someone help me. Cute anime girls have taken over my life. Great video btw, love me some fanmade ideas and yours are always really good
gamefreak wishes they could be as creative as this
They are.
@@penguinmaster2361 not
@@penguinmaster2361 HAH good one man!made me giggle.
@@legendofrayquazagaming5125 oh they are. Their bosses just have them on choke collars for some reason
The cut scene where the old guy reveals he's Odin would be sick! he would drone on about gathering strength for the coming storms all the while slowly standing up as opposed to slouching all the time all the while dropping piece of clothing off to reveal the armor underneath eventually he turns you with his eyepatch now adorned with the all seeing eye before challenging you with the line "show me the strength that earns you the right to sit here in Valhalla"
I always imagined a Wolverine Pokemon as being a Dark type, though I thought of a new ability that capitalizes on its immunity to fear rather than its ability to cause it.
Wild Heart - Makes the Pokemon Immune to distraction or intimidation.
AKA, Inner Focus
@@legendofrayquazagaming5125 Inner Focus just prevents flinching. I had more in mind moves/abilities like Intimidate, Charm, Scary Face, etc.
@@aaroncunningham8307 Inner Focus blocks intimidate as of Gen VIII
Huh, that's new.
Thank you so much for making this! I really hoped for a What if Norway was a pokemon region after watching the Australia video. I made a comment about it 3 times i think, and finally the video is here! Good choice to make it Scandinavia instead of just one of country, it just makes it better :)
Awesome video! Really enjoyed it!
Keep up the good work!
(i am from Norway btw)
Greetings my Norwegian brother. Si meg hva var favoritt delen din av videoen.
Hey!
Likte veldig godt mytologien han har brukt, historien han valgte og grunnen til at Team Beserk gjorde so dei gjorde. Veldig bra gjort! Trur heile videoen e min favoritt del egentlig
+Sceptile4life Samme. Denne videoen er fantastisk, så jeg håper Nintendo & Game Freak ser den.
Ja da hadde vært fantastisk, men e vel liten sannsynlighet for da :p
Mr Buddy: “Generation 25 Confirmed”
Me: Like that will ever happened
Game Freak: We’ve Planned all the way up To Generation 100
Me: ...
I don't know if you're serious
I don't think that there will be 100 generations but 25 is believable. :P
I honestly think they should stop at gen 12, then go back to older regions with entirely new stories instead of remakes
@@franknfurter5336 yeah black and white 2 were AWSOME. It would be nice to see them do something like that again
@@franknfurter5336 Your prediction came true with Legends Arceus
Seriously, I know you throw out disclaimers of the story ideas being fanfiction almost like they'll be terrible, but it's far from that. You really have a knack for writing potential Pokemon stories! It might just be me but I greatly enjoy the conflicts you come up with! Both this, the story for the Australian region and even the story incorporated into Unova with Team Buddy all feel like ones that wouldn't be so out-of-place amongst the canon ones! This region itself is probably my favorite out of the ones you came up with (mainly because I studied up on Norse mythology in my spare time like the nerd I am) and I'm excited to see the next one.
In my opinion, I reckon the regional variant of the honedge line should be rock/ghost instead and have the ability that would be the electric-typed version of Dhelmise's Steelworker ability. It makes more sense to be, since its design is based on an inanimate object and whatnot.
Also think the evil team should also use some steel type pokemon as it resists dragon, and they hold characteristics similar to actual weapons. For example, bisharp (like how the "dragon slayer" girl in the BW anime).
Loved the video, loved your ideas and story. Keep up the good work 😁
This game isn't official and i'm already dying for the evil valkyrie sister
This neeeeeds to be a fangame!!! :(
Just wanted to stop by and say this is one my favorite Mr. Buddy videos, even all these years later. I love the story and the starters have special place in my heart.
This was the best thing I have ever seen! I love norsk mythology. The story is complex but easy to understand. And the leader of the Besercks change of heart is amazing!!
I feel Team Berserk's homeland or where they went after they were banished could possibly be based on Newfoundland in Canada because there are old viking ruins found there and there was evidence that the vikings did settle in Canada (I think they only stayed in Newfoundland), way before European Colonists settled in Canada, but no one knows why the vikings left or disappeared. Maybe Team Berserk's homeland is a Pokemon version of Newfoundland. I'd love to see how that would tie in to a Canada based region and how it would reference some Scandinavian based region's elements.
BJÖRN the BEAR of Team Beserk? Coming from someone that lives in Scandinavia, that was gold. If this was a real Pokémon game he better make tons of bear related puns.
Also Kára the valikyre, you have really done your homework!
Marvel: Avengers Endgame is the most ambitious cross-over event.
Mr. Buddy: Hold my bear...
TheFooxy Foox (lugs over ursine) No.
