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
@@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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!!
@@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
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.
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 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
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.
Talking about how some designs are perfect while showing Cetitan was the right move. That thing is perfect. Love these designs-especially Scovillain’s!
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 🤣
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
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
@@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
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.
-Shroodle is much better and cuter, love the messy paint look! -Spidops is also much cuter and better, I LOVED Taroundle, so seeing it evolve into... that was ehhh.. not the best feeling haha. -I LOVE Scovillain on its own and I don't think it needs a redesign but I still dig yours a lot. -The Goldhengo vibes are cool, though I do prefer the original, it's a silly guy and I love that haha.
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
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)
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.
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.
I really like gholdengo's design and don't usually like redesigns of gholdengo but even I, the most steadfast gholdengo enjoyer must admit that redesign is really good, if not better that the original.
Thanks so much! I know the original has plenty of fans and the redesign was mainly based on my preferences and biases, so that’s partly why I made this almost a complete original new design. By no means do I want to erase the fandom that OG Gholdengo has!
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.
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 disagree with the base Shroodle design criticism - it's got a pretty clear visual concept, whereas Grafaiai's face resembles a rebellious mask, Shroodle is a cap, with its dome shaped body and that cute rounded snout! Also, another comment pointed out that it is based on a shrew, one of the only venomous mammals, which is also a neat inspiration for the design! I really prefer the original as it looks like a goofy little guy, kinda like a kid that got bullied in middle school, who evolves into the thuggish, rebel Grafaiai that we both know and love! However, I really enjoyed every other design, particularly Spidops, as you made it look genuinely cool, maybe a candidate for a Bug/Fighting to complete the triangle of Rabsca and Lokix. Keep up the good work! I just wanted to defend Shroodle, since I love the little guy as it is...
While I like your gholdengo and all, it also misses the whole point of why Gholdengo is the way it is. It is the 1000th pokemon (which is why it needs a thousand coins to evolve) and being the Pokémon that's supposed to celebrate that accomplishment, it's probably better off to give it a more friendly charismatic charm instead rather than another malicious ghost type possesing an object like a bunch of other ghost types.
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
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 especially love the Shroodle redo. I love Grafaiai, but Shroodle being his pre-evo baffles me. How does shrew become monkey?! This Shroodle looks like something I would kill to protect.
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
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.
I also don't really like goldango, but like the chest maybe even more than gimmighoul itself, so I absolutely love your take on goldango, but hes neck is pretty weird
It’s also a mouse Lima and a flying tree through a Muslim is a type of Lima like it’s a evolution is based on the IRA and the flying tree shrew is actually more closely related to lemurs when is the actual shrooms
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

Hey, thanks so much!
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.

Right? A sense of motion was definitely missing in the original design. Seeing it stand awkwardly in-game just felt incomplete.

However, I really enjoyed every other design, particularly Spidops, as you made it look genuinely cool, maybe a candidate for a Bug/Fighting to complete the triangle of Rabsca and Lokix. Keep up the good work! I just wanted to defend Shroodle, since I love the little guy as it is...
The scovillan and baxcaliber redesign where top tier, far better than the originals and that’s saying something because I like the originals as well
The scovillian redesign is so cool, i just think it jumps a bit too far from capsakid.
I would make it an evolution of scovillian
gholdengo didnt need a redesign
Your spidops design felt more pokemon like than the actual pokemon. It feels like something I wouldve seen in the anime as a kid lol
Thanks so much!
While I like your gholdengo and all, it also misses the whole point of why Gholdengo is the way it is. It is the 1000th pokemon (which is why it needs a thousand coins to evolve) and being the Pokémon that's supposed to celebrate that accomplishment, it's probably better off to give it a more friendly charismatic charm instead rather than another malicious ghost type possesing an object like a bunch of other ghost types.
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
Ahh I love shroodle now he's like a pokemon Mort. These are fantastic work
Schroodle built like professor E. Gadd
I like Gholdengo and it’s design but your redesign is really awesome too!
I want that new scalvillan to exist soooooo badly. Hopefully it gets an evolution in gen 10
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 would love the baxcaliber better if u just put the sword back on him, keep ir redesign but give him the sword
once again, the community teaching Game Freak itself
I especially love the Shroodle redo. I love Grafaiai, but Shroodle being his pre-evo baffles me. How does shrew become monkey?! This Shroodle looks like something I would kill to protect.
Thanks so much!
You forgot the "excalibur" part of Baxcalibur. You just straight up removed the sword on its back
I wish this is how scovillian looked in game
All improvements
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
The baxcalibur is perfect, I wish u redesigned frigibax too cuz I think it looks so freaking ugly lol
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!
This spidops would’ve been my ace without question!!!!
He’s one cool arachnid.
Scovilain should have a third evolution and it should be maybe a pepper hydra or something.
My only problem with the shroodle design is that it doesn't look like as a dramatic change to grafaiai
I didn't even realise scovi was based chilli pepper lol
I also don't really like goldango, but like the chest maybe even more than gimmighoul itself, so I absolutely love your take on goldango, but hes neck is pretty weird
Ur Shroodle is good, Ur Spidops is perfect, Ur Scovillian is reall bad, Ur baxcalibur is perfect, ur goldingo is awesome
It’s also a mouse Lima and a flying tree through a Muslim is a type of Lima like it’s a evolution is based on the IRA and the flying tree shrew is actually more closely related to lemurs when is the actual shrooms
