- There are tons of new Pokémon in the Paldea region, and most of them are successful in terms of design. However, there are still a few Pokémon from Generation 9 that feel flawed for one reason or another. Today, let’s take a look at their designs and how we can improve them.

The Scovillain redesign makes it look like an evolution to it, which make me love it even more!
While I do think your redesign is well made, Baxcalibur isn’t based on a Spinosaurus at all, rather the Concavenator that was first discovered in Spain
Edit: If you’re going to reply telling me it’s Godzilla, don’t. This was just supposed to be a fun fact. I didn’t ask for this
It doesn't look like conca at all
@@ekaitzjuradoenciso2055 …what makes it more of a spino than a concavenator to you? The latter of which makes way more sense to base a Paldean mon off of, and it matches the ice chunk on Bax’s back
@@ekaitzjuradoenciso2055it doesn’t look like Spinosaurus either
BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD 🤠
No it's based off of Godzilla lol
I would die for this Spidops. I’m so sad this wasn’t in the game
Thanks so much!!
@@TamValleyProductionsI like your new gholdengo design but I think what would've been cool is like a golden coin tonge that's big and somewhat menacing and goofy. And maybe have the chest bottom snapped in half as feet? Idk I'm just talking and not disrespecting your design I love it!
Your change for Spidops nearly brought a tear to my eye. There was so much potential for Turountula, and they just went and botched it. Your design is what we needed.
Thanks so much!
Spidops is so bad. It doesn’t even look like the ego for turounchula
I love the reptilian take for Scovillain! One of my biggest gripes with it's original design was how it seemed to have no direction. It has lizard elements like the claws and the tail, but then has this bland humanoid body, and the two heads that just seem to be slapped on there with no thought. I love how the redesign has actual cohesion, and kinda looks like a badass grass version of Hydreigon.
That’s a great way of putting it! Scovillain just needs some direction to commit to.
It looks like your art is getting better! Your Spidops legitimately looks like a design that’d fit right into Pokémon 100%
Hey, thanks so much!
There’s something really unsettling about Spidops official design, it looks like something you wouldn’t expect Pokémon to look like which makes it more unsettling when you see it in game. Same with the pepper plant based Pokémon, they feel like there’s a missing final evolution for them.
I kinda agree, they both look a bit empty and artificial which is super jarring compared to many final evos, especially given their menacing/predatory personalities.
Best fanmade Gholdengo that I’ve seen so far!! Would’ve actually been worth it to get all the coins to use that on my team. Great vid, your redesigns are awesome!
I like your Ghouldengo design because it looks threatening enough that it could kill you, but not so threatening to completely remove the goofiness of original Ghouldengo.
Exactly! Having a balance in every Pokémon design is hugely important, I’ve learned.
definitely like each one of these designs 100x better.
Glad you like them!
i was genuinely baffled when i found out Grafaiai and Shroodle were connected, so i'm a big fan of the redesign making them look a lot more connected!
Holy hell, that Scovillain redesign fixes everything I didn’t even know was bad about the design. I need more of these
i absolutely agree with the Pokemon you chose for the "least cooked", but some comments on Shroodle! The "tongue" is actually buck teeth, Shroodle is not based on a lemur, but rather on a shrew ("shroo"). Shrews are unique in that they are one of the only venomous mammals and produce a potent venom in their saliva in order to kill invertebrates and mice for food!
that said, i LOVE your spidops and i wish they gave it something a bit more akin to your reimagining! the thin legs and pedipalps just look so nice
btw the fact that shroodle evolves into a lemur is because it's most likely based on a treeshrew, a species closely related to primates and resembles some of the most ancient primate fossils.
Exactly what I commented shroodle is a shrew it’s literally in the name like you literally changed what shroodle even is ._.
Still better than whatever tf its original design is supposed to be.
My favorite redesign of Spidops I've seen yet!!!
As a big fan of Scovillain for it’s silly cartoon villain design, I really love your take on it.
My one major problem with Scovillain was how it felt more like a middle stage than a final evolution, and your spin on it does a good job at remedying it.
There is a LOT I could go on about, but I really enjoyed watching this.
Also, I want to say that I genuinely wish there were more artists (like you) who would "redesign" Pokemon WITHOUT throwing away the concepts entirely & changing the visual design's identity.
I really hope this can become a reoccurring series on your channel!
I’d love to do more videos like this. Thanks for watching!
@@TamValleyProductions That would be awesome; I'd definitely watch.
Oh, & you're welcome. ✌️
That Spidops redesign gives me major gen 2 energy. Like it's a love child between a Scyther and an Ariados. Maybe it's the soft version of the colour values you used or the brush style or something else you used that gives it a very early days Sugimori style vibes. Kudos my guy!
Bax looks AWESOME! Good work!
Although I like how it looks, your Shroodle redesign doesn't really look like it could be Grafaiai's pre evolution.
It looks more like another potential evolution for Shroodle since it's proportions are so similar to Grafaiai's.
Maybe if you made it more similar in proportion to baby pokemon like pichu or Igglybuff I could buy it.
That’s fair, I was definitely more adverse to making it round just because of how much I disliked the original Shroodle. But I see what you mean! So many baby Pokémon are rounder in proportion that it’s hard to ignore that trope when designing one. Interesting how my own biases affect the redesign.
All of these are waaaayyy better then what we got
I didn't think I could actually like Spidops but you nailed it! That Scovillian is also just 12/10. Wish we got that style!
Thanks so much dude!! 😎
These are great!! Gholdengo looks so much better in your concept!
Right? I know original Gholdengo has a lot of fans, but this redesign might be my favorite of the bunch. Thanks for watching!
@@TamValleyProductions The original Gholdengo has a lot of fans???! Its AWFUL. Hideous, wacky waving inflatable arm string cheese mascot. Every fan redesign Ive seen so far is WAY better, yours is one of the best so far
Great work on all these! Spidops and Scovillain stood out to me in particular. If these were the designs in the game, I would’ve used them in a playthrough, even if their stats are not great.
Right? It’s a shame the original designs are both lacking visually and stat wise, because a lot of them could have been way more popular and charming.
@@TamValleyProductions My thoughts exactly. Looking forward to more of your redesigns (if you're planning to do more, of course).
Love the changes you’ve made, this group of Pokémon youve chosen have disappointed me as I’ve been playing Scarlet- wishing so bad right now that your designs were the official ones instead!
My favorite has gotta be Spidops, I loved its pre-evolution so much and was so disappointed by the evolution… BUT THIS REDESIGN IS FANTASTIC! It looks so much more natural and less awkward, fantastic job!!
Thanks so much!
I would love a Baxcalibur with three plates on its back
I love the scovillain redesign, and I agree with how disappointing the real one is
Your Gholdengo is great I love how the chest is part of its face but it’s not just a copy of the trope
I love all your redesigns except Shroodle, but I specially enjoy Spidops. It changes so little but improves it so much. I also like the desaturated pallet you picked, it reminds me of the Gen I artwork, particullary that of Scyther.
Thanks for watching!
Scovillian was super disappointing to me too. I love the concept so much but the execution feels boring and disjointed. I love your redesign, it makes way more sense!
I LOVE Scovillain’s design that you did it felt off to me when I saw Scovillain’s design in the game
You gave these Pokemon suuuch a glowup omg, I especially love the shroodle and spidops.
I'm way too attached to the Scovillian we got, but your redesign is good. Would work well as an evolution imo. I also prefer the Gholdengo we have. Your Shroodle and Spidops redesigns are perfect and I wish they were real. Mixed feelings on the Baxcalibur redesign.
In my option Gholdengo looks fine the way he is. It’s on brand for Pokémon. And it also shows how the coins we were collecting were melted down etc. I like the other changes though
Melted down? He possessed the coins.
Yeah the only redesign I didn’t like was Gholdengo’s redesign, it just lost all of the personality.
I get that Gimmighoul is a greedy coin gremlin and all but to me it evolving into Gholdengo seemed like it became good and turned over a new leaf especially since it has "Good As Gold" as an ability.
Is Gholdengo’s design a bit bland? Sure, but the personality makes up for it in my opinion.
These redesigns are fantastic! You really did fix all the biggest issues of the original designs
I would personally add more legs to Spidops. He seems weirdly weighted on two legs, and would appear even more spiderlike with say four or six bottom legs.
Baxcalibur looks so much better! I feel like your version would be way faster and it looks like it could run on all fours for more power/speed
Right? A sense of motion was definitely missing in the original design. Seeing it stand awkwardly in-game just felt incomplete.
I much prefer this design over the one we got, but I have to disagree. It still looks bulky and cumbersome and that's mainly because of the legs.
We have a fairly realistic dinosaur body plan (albeit, very stylized and cartoony), but then the legs look like boneless cylinders with no distinct structure, as if they were inflatable tubes. They also stick out to towards the sides like a crocodile rather than downwards, which provides less leverage.
Overall, it's good, but this one element is very distracting because it contrasts with the rest so heavily. Basically, just model the legs after a real spinosaurus and we're golden.
That gholdengo looks so much better, actually like a Pokémon. It’s fun seeing the designers expand on traditional Pokémon designs but there really needs to be someone to redline stuff
I love that your Scovillain looks kinda like Alolan Exeggutor, both being Pokemon based on fruit-bearing plants
Critiques;
-Shroodle looks a bit too much like the animal it’s based off. While official shroodle is too far, this shroodle doesn’t go far enough and is just a squirrel with paint on it
-Spidops is cool but I would’ve kept some of the more militaristic features. Maybe a simplistic band between the eyes rather than just nothing. Also, I would keep the bottom legs bundled; it would imply that the Pokémon is nimble and fights using a mobility advantage and its own strategy, which it does.
-Dragon Scovillain is cool, but the whole idea you completely missed is that it’s a mafioso pepper. It’s a gangster, too hot to handle. While this can kinda be seen in this scovillain, I feel like it needs to be humanoid for that personality to come through. Scov’s problem is that it’s the weird middle line between animalistic and humanoid, and needs to step off that line. You stepped onto Animalistic, but the concept would’ve come through better with humanoid.
-While I mostly agree with your Baxcalibur, It A. Doesn’t really look pseudo-legendary to me, more fossil-pokemon like, and B. The whole sword back deal is its entire thing. Bax slides on its sword toward foes to finish them off. I really couldn’t see this remake doing that. I would go with a more wave-shaped crest.
-I like the new gholdengo, but it feels way too similar to existing “it’s a ghost possessing an object” mons. That humanness that gholdengo oozes makes it unique among the roster. While this gholdengo is cool as a stand-alone design and as a mimic mon it comes through well, I would’ve instead integrated Mummy traits to Gholdengo and removed the weird hair, making it cooler but still having it be human like and friendly.
Wow all redesign are great and made all these mons more likeable than their actual design
I love how your take on Shroodle both resembles Mort (even in pose) and removes the Manny Heffley-like snoot that's not present in Grafaiai.
The pose was semi-intentional. Gotta pay tribute to the legend.
@@TamValleyProductions shroodle is a shrew look man at least research what the Pokémon are based on baxcalibur isn’t even a spinosaurus I mean like come on dude💀
I died when I got up to "Manny Heffley-likd snout" 💀
love the shroodle and gholdengo redesigns
Beautiful, I love these so much more
Spidops, Scovillain and Baxcalibar are really amazing!! I get they were going for an ice Godzilla for Baxcalibar but I feel they should have sticked to the Spinosaur theme they were going for
Right? Huge missed opportunity for something unique…
They weren't going for a Spinosaurus theme at all tho. The whole Frigibax line is based on Concavenator, a species of Theropod dinosaur found in Spain known for having a small spike-like hump on its back.
@@seandewar47 oh that’s interesting to know
Omigosh! Your scorvillian is dope! I can already see me sending it out the pokeball in a battle hearing the cry and everything!
I loved shroodle, i didn't even know it was graffiti evo!
This is a cool redisign
And spidoes ties better into it's pre vo
I don't think Spidops or Baxcalibur needed any changes at all, but your Scovillain and Shroodle are good. I have mixed feelings on this Gholdengo, but it's still an improvement on the old one.
I mean like shroodle is a shrew it’s literally in the name like you literally just changed what shroodle is like at least research what the Pokémon are based on💀
@@DewyHasArrived fr I thought he said he was going to keep the inspirations but then changes the entire species it's based on
@@First_love_late_spring He did this for baxcalibur as well. My main issue is that WHERE IS THE EXCALIBUR MAN
new shroodle is so cute. i actually really like him (even though i dislike grafaifai already)
new scovillian is also much cooler! I wish I could've seen a redesign of the stupid preevo, too!
Holy hell that Shroodle redesign is WAY better. I woulda appreciated the new Pokemon more with these kinds of designs. If I'm not mistaken, the previous Pokemon designer was English. Perhaps you can take over the reigns now 🤣
Your Shroodle is SO CUTE! It made me go aw
Shroodle looks like a lizard to me. I’ve never been so confused by a Pokémon’s design
Right, it’s way too abstract and plain confusing. I couldn’t figure out it was a prevo to Grafaiai for quite some time.
Your Gholdengo redesign is awesome! I hate how the official mon scraps the mimic concept entirely
First off how dare TH-cam unsub me from this underrated and amazing channel and 2 game freak hiring Tam when?
8:01 fun fact I made an evo for scovillain that literally makes it a hydra :p
its not a dragon type but who cares?
I love these redesigns so much! My one gripe is that Baxcalibur's back fin is supposed to reference Excalibur, which is fucking awesome, and I just don't see that in the redesign.
Looking at your Goldengho I imagine when it sleeps the coins drop on the ground and the chest dropping as well, as you see the eye close, and when it has to move around, since it is a ghost type it could move around by bouncing around or just acting as a wave of coins, since I imagine that would be faster then keeping all those coin sin place
I love that idea!
@@TamValleyProductions It would make sense, since we see with Goldengho how it just kinda forms its board, logically the rest of the coins would do the same, and since the brains/pre evo is in the chest, the rest would just be controlled by ghost energy
I think baxcalilbur is the perfect way it looks like because it looks like Godzilla
These redesigns look awesome!
Shroodle is based on a shrew (doodle) admidably a big step from an aye aye but the face is supposed to look like a gas mask, like one might wear when they do grafiti
Considering how Applin got a lot of attention from Gamefreak in the Gen 9 DLCs, just 1 generation after its introduction, I wouldnt be surprised if they did something similar for Scovillain, since it can very well get a third evo and become the Grass/Fire home run it deserved to be
Your redesigns look really good! I wonder how long it took for each redesigns.
By the way have you watched Totally Not Mark’s video on redesigning Gen 9 Pokémon? He got his artist friends to redesign some Pokémon.
You and the artists in his videos are great at making the Pokémon feel right.
Talking about how some designs are perfect while showing Cetitan was the right move. That thing is perfect.
Love these designs-especially Scovillain’s!
Cetitan grew on me soooo much. Just outside my top 10 for the region.
@@TamValleyProductions it’s my number 1! Love my giant whale abomination so much
I might actually use that shiny Spidops sitting in my box since basically the start of the game if it looked like this redesign.
For Goldengo, I think just having surface texture that conveys that it's made out of coins would go a long way even before the redesign.
You should make an alternate Arctibax evolution for its inspiration, the Concavenator! The main one here can be the Iberospinus form.
Great stuff
one thing i would do for baxcalibur is change the tail into a sword or add a sword stuck in the back
these are all top tier just sad that pokemon is changing their way of making pokemon nowadays
you said you were going to keep the essence of pokemom, but you took the backscalibur sword
THESE ARE AMAZING AHH
big fan of the gholdengo redesign! nice work :)
I will say, even though I like this new spidops, it loses a lot of its ogre spider inspiration. ogre spiders have two big front eyes and place their legs together, hence why the legs are ‘bundled’.
Pls make more of these . Depressing times can for once stop while the video is playing my brain went through stages of happiness watching this 💙💙 + they look a lot more like pokemon than the original versions
It makes me so angry how all of these are better than the official designs. Great job!
The first one designed should be the middle evolution between shroodle and grafaiai and itd be perfect
Spidops resembles every spider creature and now lacked aspects of the Special Ops. The eyes and it's torso gave it away but not executed right.
Shroodle is not based off of a mouse lemur it’s based off of venomous species of shrew, the concept of shroodle and grafaiai revolves around venomous mammals
The work you put into these redesigns as well as the descriptions for each one is really cool. Spidops’ redesign looks really great and more like Tarountula. Shroodle looks a lot like Mort from Madagascar and Grafaiai. Baxcalibur looks great but I thing the proportions are a bit too similar to Arctibax. But that Scovillan redesign was flawless. Really the only redesign I was not a huge fan of is Gholdingo. Granted it’s an improvement over the original but I would of liked to see more of a “reward” Pokémon since it is very hard to evolve. Maybe it could have a mischievous but fun mimic head and it’s body is golden but you could see the ectoplasm of the ghost seeping through.
Til that that's shroodle's tongue and not its teeth
Spidops redesign is perfect. As for the other 4, I would personally prefer if they were a 50/50 mix between the official designs and yours
Shroodle is based on a shrew. It's not abstract plus it's like remoraid and Octillery
Your gholdengo is what we needed. Tha k you.
The design of goldengo is amazing
I think you've should keep the bottom of the treasur to make his hips
The tails of scovilain should be in chilli pepper form 😁
Those redesigns could serve as their evolutions
I wish Scovillain had just.... more flair? Leaves or spikes to make it more interesting, yours is waaaay better!
Right? It had so much potential.
Shroodle: NO
Scovillain: YES
Spidops: YESSSS
Baxcalibur: meh
Gholdengo: NO.
I like this redesign (even if i person really enjoy ghouldengo and scovillain already) but my favorite from this video is baxcalibur you improve it a lot
Your scovillain looks like an evolution.
the re-design of baxcalibur looks like space-Godzilla
It might have not been obvious right away with Scovillain, but it also has some basis from the comedy and tragedy masks which is shown on its faces
Yes! I love that détail which is why I thought it was essential to have two equally highlighted heads.
Your Baxcalibur designs would be one of my favorite pseudo-legends, it looks so much better. As it is, Baxcalibur is mid-tier. Love your Gholdengo too.
Thanks so much!
Scovillain looks great!
Shroodle: Not a fan. Looks too much like either an early concept for Grafaiai or someone drawing it from memory.
Spidops: The only thing I like is the head being a bit more menacing than the official one. The thing holding it back is reducing the limbs to 6, as I think it the original had a unique way of walking that helped it stand out from other bug types.
Scovillain: I would say that it is an improvement over the original since you changed the green head to yellow, the lack of arms is not doing it for me personally.
Baxcalibur: A fine redesign, but looses charm when the original is a more obvious parallel to Godzilla based on posture, back plate, and coloring. Also when I saw it, I thought of 98 Goji/Zilla.
Gholdengo: By making it more aggressive, it losses the original freildy charm in favor yet another ghost type. I admit that the use of the chest is a nice touch, but that is it.
Scovillain really needed another evolution I was excited when I first saw it in the wild thinking it was the first stage of a Pokémon line, and underwhelmed learning it was the final one.
I’d love to see a redesign for Flamigo! I was so excited to get a flamingo Pokémon only for it to basically be literally just a flamingo
If I make a part 2 to this eventually, Flamigo will be one of the first ones to get a redesign.
Your Gholdengo redesign absolutely blows the original design out of the water. I'm still not sure if it's a good design for a Pokemon, but I certainly like it way more than the "totally radical humanoid mascot". Gimmighoul is described as being very possessive (pun only slightly intended) of its treasure, so it only makes sense that its evolution would be a bit "nasty". (though I understand that the Gholdengo we got could be friendly because you helped it to collect coins, so it's not a _complete_ misfit)
Your Spidops looks like an actual pokemon rather than a minecraft character.
my problem with the scovillain is that the entire point of the heads being the classic drama theatrical masks, with one comedy and one drama, instead your version has both comedy heads.
Nice redesigns! I do like original Gholdengo although it is a weird evolution. I think the “hair” is supposed to be like rolls of coins, but fused together. Your variation is also cool, but maybe a bit predictable.
I was hoping (while playing the game) Gholdengo was going to look like Gimmighoul became a goblin/gremlin (but still short, like 1-2ft tall). Like it possesses the chest (with the circle looking like an eye) as one form, and then jumps out to reveal its true goblin form that does more damage or changes type or something. So it still has that mimic aspect of “treasure chest is alive” while its body becomes more monstrous to show how aggressive/protective it is. Maybe if you use the coin move, that’s when it changes forms to pick up the coins, and then the same move makes him jump back into the chest. Kind of like how Aegislash can swaps between forms with a move.
That’s a really awesome idea!
Shroodle is based off of a shrew, which is one of the only venomous mammals
Hence it’s poison typing
But I still enjoyed the redesign regardless 😊
Baxcalibur is my favorite Pseudo legend for what it is but i appreciate the redesign, however, i think it'd work more if they made it stand on 4's.
killroy has a huge history it got popular during WW2 with the American troops and spread to other ally nations
and was drawn so many the places the (bad guys) started to think it was the calling card of an international spy ring
I mean personally I just think grafaiai needs a evoltuion, like I get when pokemon only have one evolution but a final evolution needs to look like a final evolution
You know what I mean. Thats just one problem scarlet and violet has
