Regarding the Gym Leaders being RELATED to other characters: Theses relationships have nothing to do with their in-game story or character, they are just fun design easter eggs so I thought I'd mention them in the video. Only Daniel, Noelle and Aden have explicit relatives, as a fun way to expand the lore of the characters they relate to. There is logic to all the relationships though: Daniel trained his son to be a strong trainer, who rebelled and left the region. Tera came from Sinnoh to research. Layla’s ESP is genetic and therefore produced two prodigies. Hakim is part of a family business. Suri gave Malva her career connections. Noelle has a stronger sister. Aden was an initial investor in his cousin’s companies. Asone is a huge region, that values family connections, like I said, so I made it part of the video, but since I spend 95% of each section talking about these characters and only mention a sentence about their relatives, I think I gave them enough depth to stand on their own. I hope you enjoyed regardless. But if it bothers you too much, just forget the relationships that Tera, Layla, Hakim and Suri have. It's that simple. I literally spent, like, a cumulative 30 seconds talking about it anyways.
So is Rafi not related to any other character? Cause you mentioned that each gym leader was related to an existing canon character, but no one was mentioned in his segment (or here). Or is that being saved for later?
@@SpiderRiderKya while not said Rafi resembles Raihan in appearance as well as the very self centred nature ( Raihan constantly taking selfie’s as seen in his gym battle and Rafi’s jealousy of the player) so I think the two are connected
The idea of bringing back HMs in a way that doesn't take up a move slot is interesting, as we've recently moved away from them. With the whole theme of Knowledge and Wisdom, it would be interesting to see the region's professor try to study the origins of TMs and HMs
I can see a way that it works is, the fact that the pokemon in the region are more intelligent, their brains have the capacity for one more move(slot), but it's only used for HMs
This is what I've posted on IG before on how I think HMs should work: HMs didn't age well. In the way that overworld obstacles have been handled since Gen 7 regarding game progression, I like the way that Let's Go did it, personally. I have always thought HMs should have been techniques to use in the overworld, but not in-battle moves. Like every Pokémon had 4 technique slots, and they are able to learn hidden techniques equivalent to what that Pokémon could conceivably learn (like Sandslash could have Cut, Dig, Rock Smash and Rock Climb, for example, but none of them in-battle moves. Those could still be Earthquake, Stone Edge, Brick Break & Slash, or whatever).
If you use the Poketactic Dodge, your move that turn is slightly weaker. (So Block is a viable option, if you can tank a hit and want to land a large blow)
Do you take criticism? All jokes aside, I genuinely think a lot of your gym leaders are kinda boring and can be designed better, so I wanna give you ideas on how to improve. Layla, for instance. She's kinda boring, just a girl wearing a T shirt and shorts. Overall I can't see the design being in a Pokemon game at all. The biggest thing that stands out is the shirt, in Pokemon, no design with a Pokemon on the shirt has ever just been that pokemon on a blank background, I feel like making it more interesting would be a good start. The 7th gym leader is also really bland, his outfit could use intricate patterns to stand out, or at least something. Personally, the worst offender is the 4th Leader, he literally looks like he could be an NPC trainer. The designs aren't bad per se, just boring and bland, I could not see them being approved to be in an actual pokemon game ever. I'd suggest taking a step back and looking at characters designs from the modern pokemon games to get a good scope of things, thank you if you read all of this and sorry for the inconvenience on twitter lol.
The amount of dedication and creativity put into this series is insane! Truly something else. Great job! Really love all the gym leaders but I’d have to say Layla and Hakim would probably be my favorites. Love these videos! So excited for more!
I'm so incredibly excited for all of this, I've always been a geography nerd my whole life so seeing a really underrepresented area like the middle east get so much love makes me really happy, and I ADORE the character designs, especially Rafi. I think you struck a pretty good balance between "characters that reflect the culture well" and "characters you'd realistically expect to see in a pokemon game". Excited for the next part about the rest of the plot!
i think he focused a littel to much on jewish culture and hebrew language also most characters look white/jewish but the middle east houses a large range of colors races and culture, making them all related to pre-existing wasn't a good idea sense it relay on already known character lore, design choice and other... also the naming methods are nice and all, but why mostly hebrew wordplay ? why not arabic, turkish, persian, amazigh , i know he's jewish and that what he know best but he choice the whole middle east so he better give everybody time to shine
@@axolotlinabucket1287 I mean I think he does a good job of showcasing different cultures races etc in his region, so I’d say I disagree with that. As for the naming methods, I can understand that but I don’t think it matters all that much. He’s probably not quite as knowledgeable on those places and their vernacular, or how to apply it to his naming
@@nebula8893 i mean yes his work is fantastic but couldn't he try to get someone to help with the language and name like let say hakeem (theres more than one way to write it) thats an arabic name, i think he said something about choosing the name becuase it sound like *"hawk" * but the name *"saqr"* would be a better fit sense it literally means "falcon" also the outfits are lacking cultural touch, rafi's, adan's and suri's outfits fit in as middle eastern inspired so way not more adan is an a city based of dubai and abu Dhabi yet his wear isn't kandura its just a similar looking arabian dress, like there so many littel details that he needs to put work on, i dont blam the guy on not puting them in, i don't expect from him to do hours of research on a damn dress but at least get someone to help so the other middle eastern culture in asone are not half-assed compared to the other ones

But do keep in mind that it has to fit within the realms of what’s realistic in Pokémon, so the extra attire you mentioned makes sense to me but a name like saqr might be a bit too hard for kids to understand. As Pokémon is a kids genre, I think that is a factor that should play a role when naming. Just my opinion though, I think it would be great if there was some extra inspiration but I also don’t think it jeopardizes the games immersion too greatly without it, especially with all the extra effort he’s done in order to keep the games horizons wide

One small nitpick regarding the 8th Gym leader, Rafi: I think that Serperior would be a more fitting choice to round out his endgame team seeing as it's a Grass type Pokemon with a royalty theme.
3.) coming up with ideas for Fakemon is a long process, but a lot of the time it’s about making connections. Does an animal from a certain place have a horn that looks like some kind of weapon? That’s a connection. Can you connect the natures of a folk creature and animal or object? That’s a connection too! It probably took him a while to come up with everything, but it paid off in a big way
Poketactics seems like a more complicated version of legends arceus’ agile style and strong style system. To the point where you dont nececarily need to limit their use you are just adding the defensive and counter styles.
The amount of work you've put into this region is inspirational. The gym leaders having unique relationships with each other is so interesting and the dynamics all feel realistic. Can't wait to watch the rest of the lore videos
From a few fakemon to a fully fledged fan region. I'm very proud 😭 Ngl, almost every gym leader have relative on another region is a bit weird to me. Like these random gym leader and chairman rose have relative that lives in the same region
this is like REALLY impressive. I wasn't all that excited about the asone region until I watched this video. Congrats on making such an awesome and immersive region, Ron!
Notice that the only reason the gym leaders hate hakim is because they are simple business rivals, or they hate literally everyone. That is because Hakim is the best
I love the gym leaders and their backgrounds, stories and relations with others, it's something you don't see much of in other games. I'm curious why they all have relations with other region leaders though. Interesting concept with the champion passing away, maybe the player could meet him at the start of the game, give them a personal connection
Nothing like 2 years of this series becoming even more awesome,and I think the lore of the Gym Leaders of Asone,was pretty cool. So that's nice,and can't wait to see more of Asone,and hope yall are having a great day.
This is freaking fantastic. I am simultaneously stoked for all of the backstory and characters you're going to introduce to us and upset because we'll never actually get to play this spectacular game! I fell in love with Layla immediately; ghost Pokémon have always been my favorite typing, and the town where she and the refugees live in harmony with the forest Pokémon is such a cool idea.
Clicked as fast as I could!! You're my favorite Poketuber and every day, your content impresses or inspires me! As someone who plays Pokemon for the characters, I'm really excited to see what you've come up with here!
I'm incredibly impressed with all the work you've done, it's such a breath of fresh air for the pokemon series and is great at feeling pokemon and cartoony, while also bringing in aspects of real life and the problems different groups of people face, and how those groups effect or are effected by the others. hope this gets more traction and more attention, because it so deserves it
Damn this is so cool. I've watched the development of the Asone region since the beginning and it was and is an awesome journey. I hope one day I can make a video like this for my region.
Ok i took a break from poketubers a while ago and just got back into it after your first asone video. Thank you for doing this because i am thinking about doing a fanmade region with a few of my friends. I totally forgot i wasn't subbed so here you go!
I will be suprised if people make a rom hack or fan game of this. I mean climbing a waterfall on the side of a building...Ron really has some very clever idea's! Here is what I think the gymleaders signature pokemon are: Daniel = Felance Tera = Mightyena/Peraterra Layla = Awflea Hakim = Captorrent Suri = Lorisurge Noelle = Burret Aden = Dunkraft Rafi = Unfezant
With my fake on region, I didn’t actually make and new Pokémon accept new legendaries. I call my Region “Verosa”. It has 3 starters water, fire and grass but instead they are Pokémon who are already starters, poplio line for water, Fuecoco line for fire, and the treecko line for grass. My eight gym leaders type specialties are Fighting, Rock, Normal, Bug, Electric, Water, Fairy, And grass.
If this was a real region it would defenitly be one of my favourites. I love the complex lore of the characters and the way Asone looks. Also great seeing some if these new pokemon together in teams. Awesome work!
The Poke tactics break the balance of pokemon battles. Wonderful idea but for someone as dedicated as yourself to the realism of this region I hope you’ll rethink their inclusion. Edit: Additionally making all the characters have a pre-established family member, although ingraining them in-universe, removes their autonomy. You are so creative, and we are receptive to these ideas. There’s no need to try and assure us they are pokemon characters by relation.
This looks amazing! That new battle mechanic is a litteral game changer, I like that. I also can't wait to see how Shemorera and Azarera fit in this story.
RON! important question, is this the same region as the one from the evil team video from like 3-4 years ago. idk i was just wondering while watching this series lol
This project is amazing so far, but seeing the full teams of these gym leaders makes me realize how many traditionally masculine, tough and scary Pokemon you created, and how few beautiful/cute feminine ones. It's a similar issue that even Sugimori had, which is why he brought in Atsuko Nishida to design some of the more "cute" mons, including the starters, Pikachu and Eevee's initial evolutions.
poketactics are interesting, feels like there could be more though; and in competitive play, 2 might be better, increasing strategy. looking forward to the map
Cappadocia is called "Peri Bacaları" in Turkish and Peri literally means fairy. I don't know if it is too late but I would love to see a fairy type gym on that town.
this is such an amazing project. i love it so much. seeing your artwork and creativity is so inspiring and shows us you REALLY care. i love that the leaders are all related and feel more like actual people. also, i love the poke tactics, i was just complaining to a friend that ash tells pikachu to dodge in every single anime battle lol
Hey truegreen7. I really love this series. Ive been running a pokemon d&d for 6 years with my close friends - we’re finally almost done with the campaign And im seriously considering making a sequel in the asone region. All of this great work deserves to be celebrated in a gameplay setting! Just wanted to let you know
Have you made a Pokédex for a some yet if so we’re could you find it. Also there is this Pokemon site called pokemon database and if you can could you pls make something like it for your region where it would tell people about your region and what happens in it. It also talks about all the pokemon in your region and gives you a description from each Pokemon season sapphire and ruby e.t.c . It also shows what moves the Pokemon can learn.
If Gen 9 is not this, I don't what to believe anymore, this is fan dedication and creativity at its highest. And I hereby applaud you for your amazing efforts, sir!
As much as I love the gym leaders and the new battle tactic, the fact that they're related to other gym leaders and elite four members kinda takes you out of the emersion and creates the "Small World" affect. It's cool if one, maybe two, are related to a character outside the region for a nice little easter egg. But when most, if not all, are related to an character outside the region, kinda feels like more a fanfiction and that you're trying to bank of the popularity of an already established character and hope that the love for them will transfer to the sudden relative that we're just now knowing about. So in my opinion, I'd dial back the relationships to other characters (I liked the 1st gym leader one though) to about 1-2 of them being related.
I used to work at a grade school and we had a lot of students whose families had moved to the US from Iran. They would tell me stuff about the times they visited and whatnot. Some of them also liked Pokemon so I wish I could go back and show them this series cause it's so cool to see this fan region and I bet they would love it.
I would love the chance to explore this region as a game, it's almost bitter sweet to get invested in this world. But thanks for sharing it. Suri was my favorite gym leader design, she's easily readable as a powerful and business woman. The visual of the last two gyms with the waterfall tower and diving palace are gorgeous! I can just picture the view of the town growing smaller beneath you as you ascend one fountain at a time. Amazing idea.
Ron, Toby, Lockstin, and Hoops push me to create my own region everyday. My region is called Geora which is based off of Georgia and Florida. I have my Pokedex finished and creating lore for my characters. Thanks Ron!
I really like all of the gym leaders, but I think it's unnecessary for almost all of them to be related to other canonical pokemon trainers in some way.
This is very very entertaining, I guess my only complain is that every gym leader is related to an other known leader, I mean they don't have to be in my opinion
Idk why but every time the relationship between a gym leader and a previously established character is shown, I get happy goosebumps. The only one I could guess straight away was Aden seeing the sleek eyes and hairstyle reminiscent of Rose and Peony. All the others, really gave me semi nostalgic goosebumps. It's a very very cool aspect you've worked into the lore for your region and I am all for it! I really admire your dedication Ron. Can't wait for the next video.
In my region my hm replacments are the ride Pokémon Scizor Ride: Cut Pidgeot Ride: Fly Magnezone Ride: Flash Rhyperoir Ride: Rock Smash Machamp Ride: Strength Weezing Ride: Defog Lapras Ride: Surf Whirlpool Sharpedo Ride: Waterfall Dive
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE create a spreadsheet or something of the like with all the pokemon you've created, it's very hard to keep up with what mon is what when you're not using them or battling against them yourself, and can't just google to figure it out.
My son watches all your videos and he TOTALY thinks you should pitch this to someone at the Pokémon company. Maybe one day this could be a real game or you could help the company itself develop more great games in the future!!! Well done!! 👍🏻
I like to imagine Daniel trying to use modern talk like you said he does but acting like that viral video of the news trying to talk like kids but just being cringe
I hate how you casually mention every gym leader is related to other people. It feels extremely lazy, especially with the lack of logic and background information.
I literally spent 95% of each section talking about their story and character. How could one sentence about someone their related to override that? For almost all of them their relations are just easter eggs. (Only Daniel, Noelle and Aden are explicitly related to others) It’s not part of their story or personality. You’re also looking at it backwards. Characters from many different regions are related to characters from this large region. Daniel trained his son to be a strong trainer, who rebelled and left the region. Tera came from Sinnoh to research. Layla’s esp is genetic and therefore produced two prodigies. Hakim is part of a family business. Suri gave Malva her career connections. Noelle has a strong sister. Aden was an initial investor in his cousin’s companies. All of the relationships make sense, but are implied, since they aren’t important. Just fun easter eggs. I can’t beleive that a cumulative 30 seconds in the video made that much of a negative impact. It’s not part of their story, just their design anyways, so I mentioned it. Pretend like I didn’t. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video.
What do you guys think of poke fusion as a region gimmick/mechanic??…like only select Pokémon are compatible to fuse with each other to create one new Pokémon like blastiose and Venusaur fusing creating venustoise in the anime… you must have both Pokémon in your party and the fusion can only be used once per battle and last for 3 turn…kinda like mega evolution
Designs are great, theming is really cool and I'm really interested with what's coming next... but why are they *all* related to other major characters? 1 or 2, sure, but every single gym leader is directly related to gym leaders from other regions? It seems like a bit too much for me to take in and believe, personally.
With what we know so far, for me I would love to see this be made into like generation 9 of the pokemon franchise, if not then maybe like a spinoff version. But if its too much for the makers I won't force them too. I am really excited for the next few videos about this and as well as upcoming videos. Keep up the good work
I am from the UAE and arbadi is just a dream come true your own home is a Pokémon location I know it’s not official but it’s very well done I want to see this game programmed I will pay money for this
All of these unfortunately seem to be on the boring side except for maybe Suri and Rafi. Art itself is fantastic but they all don't have any real personality it seems. Would love Layla if her clothes weren't so plain.
Did anyone notice how he never mentioned Rafi’s family like he did for the other gym leaders? I wonder who he is related too since it’s not obvious to me
Seeing vids on Ron's Asone Region never ceases to amaze me. Like, the amount of time, dedication, and heart put into this is insane. It's one thing to make a custom pokemon and call it quits, but Ron makes sure everything about what he makes, makes sense. He made a whole set of Pokemon, characters, story, and even a post-game! The amount of heart and dedication put into this is really inspiring. The only problem I have now is that I want this to be real lol
I love the depth to the Gym Leaders' relationships, as well as the thought put into the new HM and Tactic mechanics. There's so much care and detail in this series, and it's such a joy watching it develop!
What the freak our minds are connecteds because a was making the trial leaders(gym leaders of my region) are gonna have a relation with other gym leaders and elite four members 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just an idea, but you could have a mini game based after you defeat the second gym, where you can get involved in the archaeology around the region and maybe dig up fossils or artifacts that could be put in a museum somewhere, that you progressively fill up.
I’m not a fan of how all the gym leaders are relatives of other characters. They can just be original characters they don’t have to be related to anyone. One or two relations is fine but all of them is too much
0:58 hey thats like my region. Except that all pokeballs are banned and you need a license to have one. And pokemon are smart enough to leave or join a trainer of their own free will
I absolutely adore the mechanic of using an HM within the Gym to learn it and then having to fight to earn its use in the overworld. I love the gym leaders, too. I would be so hyped to play this game!
The only thing I didn’t like is that they’re all related to previous characters, these are good enough to be unique people without connections to other games
Regarding the Gym Leaders being RELATED to other characters: Theses relationships have nothing to do with their in-game story or character, they are just fun design easter eggs so I thought I'd mention them in the video.

Didn't the Grass leader in DP have a Turtwig?
I see why you think that, but one, it’s a starter, and two, most good gym leaders have aces from their home region
It's probably because he wants their endgame teams to have coverage, making Empoleon an appropriate substitute.

3) can't answer that one, his ideas are awesome aha
1. Drawing is like doing math or anything else
So it enough and you get good at it, and for some it comes naturally while others it takes time
3.) coming up with ideas for Fakemon is a long process, but a lot of the time it’s about making connections. Does an animal from a certain place have a horn that looks like some kind of weapon? That’s a connection. Can you connect the natures of a folk creature and animal or object? That’s a connection too! It probably took him a while to come up with everything, but it paid off in a big way
Can’t answer 2. There are way to many ungrateful people and apologists in this fanbase

Poketactics seems like a more complicated version of legends arceus’ agile style and strong style system.
To the point where you dont nececarily need to limit their use you are just adding the defensive and counter styles.
@Samuel Jecks yes. So. Not accusing him of stealing their ideas.

The amount of work you've put into this region is inspirational. The gym leaders having unique relationships with each other is so interesting and the dynamics all feel realistic. Can't wait to watch the rest of the lore videos
From a few fakemon to a fully fledged fan region. I'm very proud 😭
Ngl, almost every gym leader have relative on another region is a bit weird to me. Like these random gym leader and chairman rose have relative that lives in the same region
This would definitely be my favorite gen/region ever, it just has to become real :')
He needs to get someone to make this for him and produce it or even get game freak!
15:03 don’t click if you don’t want spoilers for this video
“Rafi is friends with no one” why did that just make me crack up
Rafi doesn’t get friends. It is illegal.
He’s on that sigma grindset 🥶🥶🥶

this is like REALLY impressive. I wasn't all that excited about the asone region until I watched this video. Congrats on making such an awesome and immersive region, Ron!
Pssh I've been excited
Notice that the only reason the gym leaders hate hakim is because they are simple business rivals, or they hate literally everyone. That is because Hakim is the best
I love the gym leaders and their backgrounds, stories and relations with others, it's something you don't see much of in other games. I'm curious why they all have relations with other region leaders though. Interesting concept with the champion passing away, maybe the player could meet him at the start of the game, give them a personal connection
Nothing like 2 years of this series becoming even more awesome,and I think the lore of the Gym Leaders of Asone,was pretty cool.
So that's nice,and can't wait to see more of Asone,and hope yall are having a great day.
13:19 oh damn that’s me 👀 (not literally, just share the same name) haha!
“Team Ozone”?
Team Sky would like to know your location
@Youngster Liam hail yeah🌨
You should compile the asonian pokedex and make it into a video since I forgot about many pokemon mentioned in this video
This is freaking fantastic. I am simultaneously stoked for all of the backstory and characters you're going to introduce to us and upset because we'll never actually get to play this spectacular game! I fell in love with Layla immediately; ghost Pokémon have always been my favorite typing, and the town where she and the refugees live in harmony with the forest Pokémon is such a cool idea.
You're creativity and devotion is unreal. Very nicely done, this is throughly enjoyable. I'd absolutely buy this game
Yoooo, always great to see more updates on Asone! Especially when I'm having my breakfast 💖😊
Clicked as fast as I could!! You're my favorite Poketuber and every day, your content impresses or inspires me! As someone who plays Pokemon for the characters, I'm really excited to see what you've come up with here!
I'm incredibly impressed with all the work you've done, it's such a breath of fresh air for the pokemon series and is great at feeling pokemon and cartoony, while also bringing in aspects of real life and the problems different groups of people face, and how those groups effect or are effected by the others. hope this gets more traction and more attention, because it so deserves it
Damn this is so cool. I've watched the development of the Asone region since the beginning and it was and is an awesome journey. I hope one day I can make a video like this for my region.
Wait! ASONIAN MIGHTYENA! Holy crud I've loved mightyena for a while and thought it really needs a regional form. I love it
Ok i took a break from poketubers a while ago and just got back into it after your first asone video. Thank you for doing this because i am thinking about doing a fanmade region with a few of my friends.
I totally forgot i wasn't subbed so here you go!
You and logstin are both working on a fakemon region and there both awesome
(A message to Pokémon please take inspiration from this region PLS)
Lol we have the same picture
I really like the careful thought out lore and story. This is amazing attention to detail !
I will be suprised if people make a rom hack or fan game of this. I mean climbing a waterfall on the side of a building...Ron really has some very clever idea's!
Here is what I think the gymleaders signature pokemon are:
Daniel = Felance
Tera = Mightyena/Peraterra
Layla = Awflea
Hakim = Captorrent
Suri = Lorisurge
Noelle = Burret
Aden = Dunkraft
Rafi = Unfezant
It’s cool to see u making a region, especially since ur great at art and pretty creative. Excited to see the many things Asone has in store :]
This might actually rival the Kaskade region!
So hyped for this!! This region seems crazy interesting!! 😍😍😍
With my fake on region, I didn’t actually make and new Pokémon accept new legendaries. I call my Region “Verosa”. It has 3 starters water, fire and grass but instead they are Pokémon who are already starters, poplio line for water, Fuecoco line for fire, and the treecko line for grass. My eight gym leaders type specialties are Fighting, Rock, Normal, Bug, Electric, Water, Fairy, And grass.
If this was a real region it would defenitly be one of my favourites. I love the complex lore of the characters and the way Asone looks. Also great seeing some if these new pokemon together in teams. Awesome work!
The Poke tactics break the balance of pokemon battles. Wonderful idea but for someone as dedicated as yourself to the realism of this region I hope you’ll rethink their inclusion.
Edit: Additionally making all the characters have a pre-established family member, although ingraining them in-universe, removes their autonomy. You are so creative, and we are receptive to these ideas. There’s no need to try and assure us they are pokemon characters by relation.
This looks amazing! That new battle mechanic is a litteral game changer, I like that. I also can't wait to see how Shemorera and Azarera fit in this story.
RON! important question, is this the same region as the one from the evil team video from like 3-4 years ago. idk i was just wondering while watching this series lol
Yes
@@truegreen7 nice
This project is amazing so far, but seeing the full teams of these gym leaders makes me realize how many traditionally masculine, tough and scary Pokemon you created, and how few beautiful/cute feminine ones. It's a similar issue that even Sugimori had, which is why he brought in Atsuko Nishida to design some of the more "cute" mons, including the starters, Pikachu and Eevee's initial evolutions.
poketactics are interesting, feels like there could be more though; and in competitive play, 2 might be better, increasing strategy. looking forward to the map
I’m soo excited for the rest of the videos, this is going to be epic.
Cappadocia is called "Peri Bacaları" in Turkish and Peri literally means fairy. I don't know if it is too late but I would love to see a fairy type gym on that town.
this is such an amazing project. i love it so much. seeing your artwork and creativity is so inspiring and shows us you REALLY care. i love that the leaders are all related and feel more like actual people. also, i love the poke tactics, i was just complaining to a friend that ash tells pikachu to dodge in every single anime battle lol
Hey truegreen7. I really love this series. Ive been running a pokemon d&d for 6 years with my close friends - we’re finally almost done with the campaign And im seriously considering making a sequel in the asone region. All of this great work deserves to be celebrated in a gameplay setting! Just wanted to let you know
The fact that everyone apart from Rafi has a relative outside of asone is amazing I love Sydney’s dad he has pure dad energy like peony
Have you made a Pokédex for a some yet if so we’re could you find it.
Also there is this Pokemon site called pokemon database and if you can could you pls make something like it for your region where it would tell people about your region and what happens in it. It also talks about all the pokemon in your region and gives you a description from each Pokemon season sapphire and ruby e.t.c . It also shows what moves the Pokemon can learn.
If Gen 9 is not this, I don't what to believe anymore, this is fan dedication and creativity at its highest. And I hereby applaud you for your amazing efforts, sir!
oof
Yeah, Gen 9 isn't like this at all.
Well there's still gen 10
These videos are always so fun!
I did hear a few galar/Asone mix ups there and was confused for a sec, but that’s not important
I’m shipping Suri and Noelle so much. I call this a total success!!
OMG I SHIP SURI AND NOELLE TOO!!!
SuriElles, unite!
omg youve done good research, ive met alot of egyptian people and tera looks exactly like my female egytian teacher, good job man
As much as I love the gym leaders and the new battle tactic, the fact that they're related to other gym leaders and elite four members kinda takes you out of the emersion and creates the "Small World" affect.
It's cool if one, maybe two, are related to a character outside the region for a nice little easter egg. But when most, if not all, are related to an character outside the region, kinda feels like more a fanfiction and that you're trying to bank of the popularity of an already established character and hope that the love for them will transfer to the sudden relative that we're just now knowing about.
So in my opinion, I'd dial back the relationships to other characters (I liked the 1st gym leader one though) to about 1-2 of them being related.
I used to work at a grade school and we had a lot of students whose families had moved to the US from Iran. They would tell me stuff about the times they visited and whatnot. Some of them also liked Pokemon so I wish I could go back and show them this series cause it's so cool to see this fan region and I bet they would love it.
Noelle has to be my favorite gym leader she's so pretty and is all about entertainment like me 😊❄
I would love the chance to explore this region as a game, it's almost bitter sweet to get invested in this world. But thanks for sharing it. Suri was my favorite gym leader design, she's easily readable as a powerful and business woman. The visual of the last two gyms with the waterfall tower and diving palace are gorgeous! I can just picture the view of the town growing smaller beneath you as you ascend one fountain at a time. Amazing idea.
me too
Noelle??? No Elsa
Lol i was reminded of that too 😂
Ron, Toby, Lockstin, and Hoops push me to create my own region everyday. My region is called Geora which is based off of Georgia and Florida. I have my Pokedex finished and creating lore for my characters. Thanks Ron!
I really like all of the gym leaders, but I think it's unnecessary for almost all of them to be related to other canonical pokemon trainers in some way.
Head cannon: During Aden's meeting, one of the individuals is Tom Bezzle of the Kaskade Region doing a facetime on a Rotom pad.
This is very very entertaining, I guess my only complain is that every gym leader is related to an other known leader, I mean they don't have to be in my opinion
Agreed
Idk why but every time the relationship between a gym leader and a previously established character is shown, I get happy goosebumps. The only one I could guess straight away was Aden seeing the sleek eyes and hairstyle reminiscent of Rose and Peony. All the others, really gave me semi nostalgic goosebumps. It's a very very cool aspect you've worked into the lore for your region and I am all for it! I really admire your dedication Ron. Can't wait for the next video.
Ascending Ozone Tower by scaling waterfalls that run down its side is IMMENSELY COOL. Def my fave Gym idea
I immediately love Daniel as a Gym Leader
In my region my hm replacments are the ride Pokémon
Scizor Ride: Cut
Pidgeot Ride: Fly
Magnezone Ride: Flash
Rhyperoir Ride: Rock Smash
Machamp Ride: Strength
Weezing Ride: Defog
Lapras Ride: Surf Whirlpool
Sharpedo Ride: Waterfall Dive
please tell me im not the only one who thinks rafi looks like BRUN- "WE DONT TALK ABOUT RAFI-"
I only Just noticed that Layla’s Psycoleon is shiny
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE create a spreadsheet or something of the like with all the pokemon you've created, it's very hard to keep up with what mon is what when you're not using them or battling against them yourself, and can't just google to figure it out.
My son watches all your videos and he TOTALY thinks you should pitch this to someone at the Pokémon company. Maybe one day this could be a real game or you could help the company itself develop more great games in the future!!! Well done!! 👍🏻
I feel like dodge should only allow you to dodge one attack per turn, this giving it a bit of a disadvantage against block in doubles.
I like to imagine Daniel trying to use modern talk like you said he does but acting like that viral video of the news trying to talk like kids but just being cringe
I hate how you casually mention every gym leader is related to other people.
It feels extremely lazy, especially with the lack of logic and background information.
They deserve there own story's
Not just be a gym leader cause they're related to other famous gym leaders as if theres some royal bloodline needed
I literally spent 95% of each section talking about their story and character. How could one sentence about someone their related to override that? For almost all of them their relations are just easter eggs. (Only Daniel, Noelle and Aden are explicitly related to others) It’s not part of their story or personality. You’re also looking at it backwards. Characters from many different regions are related to characters from this large region. Daniel trained his son to be a strong trainer, who rebelled and left the region. Tera came from Sinnoh to research. Layla’s esp is genetic and therefore produced two prodigies. Hakim is part of a family business. Suri gave Malva her career connections. Noelle has a strong sister. Aden was an initial investor in his cousin’s companies. All of the relationships make sense, but are implied, since they aren’t important. Just fun easter eggs. I can’t beleive that a cumulative 30 seconds in the video made that much of a negative impact. It’s not part of their story, just their design anyways, so I mentioned it. Pretend like I didn’t. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video.
What do you guys think of poke fusion as a region gimmick/mechanic??…like only select Pokémon are compatible to fuse with each other to create one new Pokémon like blastiose and Venusaur fusing creating venustoise in the anime… you must have both Pokémon in your party and the fusion can only be used once per battle and last for 3 turn…kinda like mega evolution
#BEST REGION EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also can you make a wolf Pokemon with its fur looking like stars
Edit: plz name it soulfang
I love how he mentions that the first gym leader is a memer
Designs are great, theming is really cool and I'm really interested with what's coming next... but why are they *all* related to other major characters? 1 or 2, sure, but every single gym leader is directly related to gym leaders from other regions? It seems like a bit too much for me to take in and believe, personally.
With what we know so far, for me I would love to see this be made into like generation 9 of the pokemon franchise, if not then maybe like a spinoff version. But if its too much for the makers I won't force them too. I am really excited for the next few videos about this and as well as upcoming videos. Keep up the good work
I am from the UAE and arbadi is just a dream come true your own home is a Pokémon location I know it’s not official but it’s very well done I want to see this game programmed I will pay money for this
All of these unfortunately seem to be on the boring side except for maybe Suri and Rafi. Art itself is fantastic but they all don't have any real personality it seems. Would love Layla if her clothes weren't so plain.
Did anyone notice how he never mentioned Rafi’s family like he did for the other gym leaders? I wonder who he is related too since it’s not obvious to me
Nobody
Seeing vids on Ron's Asone Region never ceases to amaze me. Like, the amount of time, dedication, and heart put into this is insane. It's one thing to make a custom pokemon and call it quits, but Ron makes sure everything about what he makes, makes sense. He made a whole set of Pokemon, characters, story, and even a post-game! The amount of heart and dedication put into this is really inspiring. The only problem I have now is that I want this to be real lol
I love the depth to the Gym Leaders' relationships, as well as the thought put into the new HM and Tactic mechanics. There's so much care and detail in this series, and it's such a joy watching it develop!
What the freak our minds are connecteds because a was making the trial leaders(gym leaders of my region) are gonna have a relation with other gym leaders and elite four members 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just an idea, but you could have a mini game based after you defeat the second gym, where you can get involved in the archaeology around the region and maybe dig up fossils or artifacts that could be put in a museum somewhere, that you progressively fill up.
i love it how they are all related to other gym leaders, elite 4 members or other important people in the main games.
Ron. How did you design the pokemon overworld? It looks gorgeous. Is there some kind of website or did you just draw it.
Idk why but when I was reading the title I thought it said arson region (.____.)
I’m not a fan of how all the gym leaders are relatives of other characters. They can just be original characters they don’t have to be related to anyone. One or two relations is fine but all of them is too much
0:58 hey thats like my region. Except that all pokeballs are banned and you need a license to have one. And pokemon are smart enough to leave or join a trainer of their own free will
Having grown up in Abu Dhabi, seeing Aden and the city he lives in brought back so many feelings for me. I love it!
Ok sorry if I missed it but why are they all related to gym leaders from other regions? What does that add? Also really bland character designs
I’m not sure how I feel about everyone being related to someone but everything else is cool
I absolutely adore the mechanic of using an HM within the Gym to learn it and then having to fight to earn its use in the overworld. I love the gym leaders, too. I would be so hyped to play this game!
I like how you gave Daniel Dark type colours in his outfit hinting to the fact that he is a Dark type gym later.
The only thing I didn’t like is that they’re all related to previous characters, these are good enough to be unique people without connections to other games
Mr. Ron plz make the gamer of ur region playable for android and also on 8:53 what form is that druddigon can someone tell me
