Let me tell you something nice. The game has been in development since 2015. This means...they did not take inspiration from ultra beasts. WEEDle and game freak came up with the same idea!
I think this could be a great thought if it was provable, but you also have to realize that in development doesn't mean complete. The game was only released relatively recently and Sun/Moon would've come out a year into the games development. This definitely means that there could've been some inspiration, as the game was still in it's early stages of development and it'd almost be impossible to tell which is true. I really hope that these were completely original thoughts though!
@@The_Mang they made videos showing their concepts since the start of the development and they released 2 beta, one that is a remake of the 2nd movie and another that is only the first part of the gameplay, they even made a video on how gamefreak "copyed" them, they were just joking about the fact that they got the same ideas
@@The_Mang as someone who followed the game development from almost the very start i can guarantee you that the idea was completely original, in the sense that it wasn’t inspired by game freak itself. People have been speculating about old pokémon with different typings and design for a while
@@faberquidam I never really thought of it like that, but to be honest, you're absolutely right. Delta pokemon have been a thing in the card game for a long time and I didn't even think about the fact that regional variants are just another way of achieving that same effect, I've always seen them as their own standalone mons even thought when it comes down to it they are just retyped old pokemon.
this fangame does better at feeling authentic and complete than any other imo; the original music, the fact that every fakemon (which are some of the best fakemon I've seen) has an animated sprite and official-style art, the portraits, and the difficulty balance are all on point. it's a real treat
@@michelecastellotti9172 probably because no matter what game freak does(even if they make a good game like gen 5) people will still send death threats to them
@@michelecastellotti9172 I disagree, for a fakemon it was incredible but lacks when compared to Pokemon. It seemed to primarily focus on solving issues that pokemon has which was great but in design seemed very uninspired. It's hard to beat Pokemon in design since their world, lore, and pokemon designs are the main focus and their talent but even without that the pokemon, character, and world just were not well designed but the games were well developed. It is incredible for a fan game but still is not close to being as good in design.
@@primaloftheabyss3139 i speak from my point of view, hysteric dumbasses have no value nor voice for me, if a game is good, good, is it bad? I will provide proofs with reason and constructive criticism in hope to be heard (i wont, but meh)
Hey, after pointing out that the father was Silver, just with a play on his name, I looked at the mother named Clover that looked familiar, searched through bulbapedia and she looks like Leaf from FRLG.
First of all, really cool to see you playing through this Callum, looking forward to it! Secondly, yeah I think Eldiw is pronounced "El-dew", but I'm not sure Oh yeah, a couple tips of advice: > Yemin can potentially have Technician, making Arm Thrust a lot stronger! > It's worth fighting certain Pokemon like Phantump until they drop an item after it's fainted, it might prove useful in making them stronger!
Fun fact: they announced alternate version of pokemon before sun and moon had even a trailer up XD they are actually original idea they had, both weedle team and gamefreak
More like "through difficulties,we reach the stars" ,the original "Per Aspera,Ad Astra pervenimus" is a common phrase to translate for those that study latin in Italy.
I haven't watched the whole thing yet but in her memory she was 5 and then her mom said that that happened 11 years ago. So the protag starts their journey at 16? That's a lot more reasonable than 10. XD (Also, the memorial. 0-0)
I picked Shyleon because it's a baby *WHO MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS* - I really like the variation in pokemon designs this game has and how they look on the Gen 5 motor with the moving 2D sprites, it really shows the WEEDle team has put a lot of effort into each design and doing something different with each one of them, however some of them are IMO a bit too busy and detailed for my taste but I can still see why they look the way they do - this is a really high quality fan game
Why game freak hasn't tried to work with people like this is beyond me...seems like they'd take a look at stuff like this and take inspiration...especially given the following they have But that aside...this gives me Golden Sun Dark Dawn vibes for some reason
okay I just found this and your channel like last week. Dude you are chill. I don't know why, but your videos feel like that one cool kid grew up, but still has his way from school :,D (I don't mean it rude, I simply like it, it's kinda fun.
For whatever reason watching your playthroughs has been way more fun for me then playing the games. Been keeping up with the daily uploads for a while now. Keep it up
I understand the preference of something that looks more like pokemon tho my preference is to play something that doesn't look like another gen 3 rehash so I really appreciate games like this that have custom art. Xenoverse in particular has a lot of well made art like the maps and such. The custom UI also looks nice. I'm not a huge fan of the art style of characters but not to say it's bad quality. Move animations are usually lacking in fangames so you do have a point there but idk if that should be a deterrent. If a fangame is using EBS(elite battle system) then animations are better (which this one is).
10 minutes in and I downloaded this game. You seem like a person i could trust with roms because alot of them don't feel like pokemon games, but this one I have a feeling will be different. Imma play it right alongside with ya
Hey man you said you don't usually play fan-made games because they just don't feel like Pokemon to you but to me this looks exactly like Pokemon the way I remember it. I went from playing silver to playing x and y, and the change was absolutely HUGE. And I'm probably just being a typical millennial but the format of silver to me was much more enjoyable than the 3-D style for me and because of that after only seven minutes it looks great to me. Unless of course I'm so out of touch with the current formula that it doesn't feel her look like Pokemon to what you were used to, which I have no idea about
Games like these are what inspired me to want to make a Pokémon fan game, just the feel of making a region that feels real and looks so beautiful, it’s inspirational Good music, good designs, the works I’m so glad you’re playing this
Yo i just realised the parents are leaf and silver ( specifically from the manga ) as clover (mum) has a jiggilipuff like leaf and versli is just silver rearranged
I was wondering why some of the artwork seemed weird and off to me, and then I noticed that some of the character's art work is simply edited official pokemon trainer artworks Like for example, the female scientists at 34:40 were originally black(see the x and y female scientists)
A promising upcoming Pokemon Fan Game is Order & Choas in the Leweka region based off Africa! There's so many pokemon that have been created that look amazing!
16:53 I was playing PokeMMO like two days ago, and I felt annoyed when I had to train my other Pokémon who could barely fight. I personally wish they at least gave you a Exp Sharer.
Wait, a mother figure stops a child from leaving the origin to search for something by fighting it and at the same time acting as a tutorial? and the word determination? doesnt seem familiar...
From what i've seen of this fan-game, it's got a lotta cool things and also some busted as hell forms of pokemon. I should probably install this myself at some point. I hope you enjoy this game cal, the art style may not be your cup of tea but it looks to be a real good fan-game.
Versil and Clover? Hmmm. Like, Silver and Leaf? Or am I looking too much into it? Honestly, looks pretty dope honestly, Idk if I can play it properly on my dumb laptop, but HoodCal got our backs 💖.
I wish he would have read the gravestone. If Versil is really Silver, which he looks like an adult version of, the dead grandfather would probably be Giovanni and I bet the grave would have referenced that
This seems to have like a star theme which I like. The per aspera ad astra, which means something like through hardship to the stars, the archievements... this is just so sick!
So, imagine if someone decides to make a full 3D pokemon fan game and burn it onto a modded switch cartridge. That would legit be incredible. Nintendo should allow fan games of a special quality to be allowed on the switch, so long as they get a large cut of the sales. Like, 90%.
Hi Callum, my name is João Miguel, and I am your fan from Brazil!! This night I had a strange thought: “Imagine making a video about how Pokémon names change in each country”. So, i dont know if you like the idea, but, if do so, I would gladly help you with names and pronunciation, like see how each country speeks the Pokémon names!! Any way, Im your fan since ORAS, love your vídeos by!!
CHECK TRASH CANS!! they actually put items in a lot of them in this game. im glad you are covering this its easily the best fan game ive played im actually on my second playthrough now wich i started immediately after i beat the first. you are wrong in thinking there will be a lot of water types to choose from they took into account that theres a lot of water types there are like 3 new ones, 1 is an x species and 1 you dont get until post game, the other doesnt evolve and ssince its an electric type it competes with a few other more interesting mons. the shiny rate is increased and you can get hidden abilities rarely in the wild (i got a shiny hidden ability beefle that was the star of my team cause its final form gets huge power with a base atk of 134) you got the second best yemin its hidden ability is guts but when it evolves its gets pure power. yours will keep technichian and it has a good moveset for that ability. there is literally only 1 complaint i have about this game and it is the move animations. they are pretty much all the same. like each type has 1 or 2 animations for every move. this is literally the only pokemon game fanmade or otherwise that i can play with the sound on. also when you get to the evil teams female commander her theme is AMAZING i sat and listened to it for a solid 10 mins before i actually fought her. enjoy i know youll love this game
❤🌟
the music you make for the evil team is the best thankyou for makeing this game
Amazing Game but I am having one problem when I enter trainer battles it takes a long time to load the battle how do I fix this issue

I absolutely adore the design and style of this game. Game made by a group named after my favorite pokemon line to boot, all of this is great.
Ad Astra Per Aspera is actually a song, I sang it in choir. I believe it means To The Stars
"Look what a beautiful day it is!" Literally the middle of the night taking a 5 year old child for a walk
Fun fact: they announced alternate version of pokemon before sun and moon had even a trailer up XD they are actually original idea they had, both weedle team and gamefreak
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I'm actually loving your new pants layout for this video
Per Aspera, Ad Astra is google Translate approved to be "With difficulties, to the stars"
Thats correct, the end of the game confirms this
More like "through difficulties,we reach the stars" ,the original "Per Aspera,Ad Astra pervenimus" is a common phrase to translate for those that study latin in Italy.
The Latin in the title sequence after the mom battle translates to "through difficulties to the stars"

Ad Astra Per Aspera is my college’s motto. It means “to the stars, through difficulties/anything”
