The reason Jardino is so fast despite its appearance is because its statline was carried over from the pre-existing Hoenn roster just like the other Fan Pokemon. Jardino is Sceptile, Descomune is Wailord, Ruycantor is Swellow, Kaosune is not Rayquaza but Groudon, and Babos is Skitty of all Pokemon.
I think the funniest part of this aspect of Quartz is that Trapinch got turned into a split evo. Because its evolutions are Vibrava and Flygon, one of them is just better than the other in every way. They were Dragon/Water and Dragon/Fire, though I don't remember offhand which one was which.
@@bouncycomix weah, sapphriegon (water/dragon) which was flygon, and rubygon (ground/dragon) which was vibrava, oddly enought the Abra line was turned into split evos but had their stats changed to rival eachother so I don't know what the creator had against ruby.
Ah, Pokémon Quartz. People tend to bullshit on it nowadays, but I remember playing back in 2010. Of course it had all these bizarre things, but, for that time, it was something else. Also, I'm an appreciator of hacks that totally change the history, region and pokémon, so, Quartz was a pioneer, wanting you or not. Anyway, great job as always!
I really do love these videos. It's always so fun to see the transition between the original and your remake. Btw, in case you couldn't tell, all fakemon have identical stats to the real pokemon they replace in the dex.
ok, the fact the stongest legendary's name is "Garotao", or big guy in portuguese seem to mean something about the creator of this hack's nationality... Altho the fact the hack's post had a reversed "!" might mean the guy actually knew spanish... and I can't pick a favorite redesign tbh, the mountain turtle, not Rayquaza and king bird were the coolest, but idk which was the best
I really loved the old designs but those new ones look fantastic! It felt like a bit that you hated on it (could also just be me so srry) but great video 10/10
I had an unfinished physical copy of this for a little while and man am I glad it's infamous. I miss playing it for the first time, not knowing what a rom hack was and believing it to be some rare official game. I'm feeling really nostalgic for this game how LOL
God, your redesigns are fantastic! Somebody needs to send this to Baro himself. I'm sure he would appreciate someone sprucing up the designs he made almost 20 years ago. (Oof, that makes me feel old.)
Oh wow, Jardino and Descomune are extremely interesting now that it's redesigned. Love me some plant dinos (I love Chikorita and their line). (Also: Nice! I didn't expect to get featured on the video. I'm glad I actually got to see some cool backsprites! )
Pokémon Quartz was actually my first ever Pokémon game. My parents didn't want to buy me a GBA or a DS, so I tried emulation, and the first I got to work was this romhack. I have a lot of nostalgia for it, even if I couldn't make it far in the game, both not understanding english and having never played RSE before 😅
Oh my god I remember this one! I was salty that they forgot the exit to that game’s version of Shoal Cave 😂 Also, that game’s version of Sootopolis had no entrance.
I remember I was at my mothers job for bring your kids to work day, and her coworkers kid was playing this. it was the first time i ever saw a pokemon rom hack and the one guy said "damn" and my face was just 😮
"...without the guy on the title screen" poor Senex from snakewood, people actually think that title screen with the zombie muk is hte official but the in-game one has Senex which is literally just an old guy so it's better that way
Perhaps next could be reimagining Pokemon Chaos Black? A rom hack that seemed to have some nice potential on the surface but ended up a bit disappointing because it didn't go all the way
Video idea: i send you pictures of my bad creature collecter monsters, and you redesign them while making fun of them. Then i ponder why im bad at making designs.
17:45 just to clarify, "osoe" doesn't mean "bear" in spanish, just "oso" The extra "e" is there because...idk it sounds cool i guess? lol Also i love your work you reacreate the fifth gen style really well!
Wouldn't really call some of these "ugly," some of these designs polished could've actually been Pokémon in my opinion. These were rushed to some extent because of the lack of black outlines, but still have some work put into them in terms of concepts so they're not bad. Pokémon Topaz on the other hand would be considered ugly and lazy because of some designs resembling others and others are just kinda sloppy.
Yeah, of course I overdo it a bit due to how TH-cam sometimes just is, but that doesn't make it an excuse for that being harsh against it. Valid argument!
Sapete perché la regione di Pokémon Quartz si chiama Corna? Perché la gente che hanno giocato al gioco si sono presi per le corna Eh? Eh? Capita? Per le corna,
@@voliol8070 I was looking for this comment before making one. No matter how you want to catch the attention of the viewer what you are saying is just disrespectful of someone's work. We've got all our art style, skill level and a certain amount of time we can allow to creation. Calling someone's else work "ugliest" sounds condescending and mostly doesn't embrace the sense of community we should carry over. Don't build your pyramid burying others as a foundation 🙏
I just feel that these new designs take me away a little from how funny the originals were, maybe it would be useful not to make them so serious, to keep a little of that ridiculous design :)

Fun fact, it also makes sense for jardino to be as fast as it is because, believe it or not, hippos are really fast both on land and in water.

Yup, for the time this actually was such a huge thing in comparison to what was usually made - can't shit on the Pokemon romhackings foundations!
Hippos are actually pretty fast. They can't swim and run underwater and there are videos of them chasing boats.
Not a huge Pixel-artist myself, but really liked this video
I really do love these videos. It's always so fun to see the transition between the original and your remake.
Btw, in case you couldn't tell, all fakemon have identical stats to the real pokemon they replace in the dex.
Thank you! And thanks for the note - while editing some of them did see familiar, but I just wrote it off lol
babos is very attractive wym
Well... i did say it's the peak shape didn't I🤔

He is spanish
@@kprojectskurt I mean, "garotão" isn't a word in spanish, so the creator of the ROM still gotta know something about portuguese
Jardíno actually looks like a pokemon I would use. I love hippos and Dino looking beings. And that one ticks all my right boxes.
I am a sucker for bird Pokemon of any kind, even the derpiest fan design. So that Ruycantor is my new favorite.
I really loved the old designs but those new ones look fantastic! It felt like a bit that you hated on it (could also just be me so srry) but great video 10/10
@@slime-studios nah. I was calling the original derpy. Both are great designs in my opinion lol
This video made me want to try for myself to recreate those designs.
Amazing work!
For the first one, it's crazy how much improvement the design got by just thickening it up
I love this series! You just make all these classic Fakemon so much better. Thank you for your services.
Thank you! I charge atleast one required like every month as a fee :)
I love Pokemon Quartz, took me back to my junior high days. Please do other sprites from Quartz
I had an unfinished physical copy of this for a little while and man am I glad it's infamous. I miss playing it for the first time, not knowing what a rom hack was and believing it to be some rare official game. I'm feeling really nostalgic for this game how LOL
The Jardino redesign is so adorable!!! I whould totally use one on my team!!!
Loved this video. I never played quartz but even i have seen some of these sprites before because of their meme status😂 i loved your redesigns!
Honestly - I've never heard of it before besides the memes either😂
Honestly, i would love to play this game again if you did all the sprites!! Well done!
God, your redesigns are fantastic! Somebody needs to send this to Baro himself. I'm sure he would appreciate someone sprucing up the designs he made almost 20 years ago. (Oof, that makes me feel old.)
He's a treasure for the entertainment he gifted to many for so many years😂
I need to see some of the Pokémon Wack designs remade. Especially Woot.
Good call, though currently I'm working on the next one already! (The one that got voted for in a poll)
Oh wow, Jardino and Descomune are extremely interesting now that it's redesigned.
Love me some plant dinos (I love Chikorita and their line).
(Also: Nice! I didn't expect to get featured on the video. I'm glad I actually got to see some cool backsprites! )
Yeah.. now to keep the backsprites a consistent part of the videos is a whole different thing lol
Yeah, I'd imagine.
You did say it takes just as much time before.
Sadly Pokemon Quartz DX was cancelled, but i'm glad you did this
Loved the redesigns!
I remember playing this hack back in the day. Since you asked, my favorite fakemon was Covoltz (IIRC its name)
2:59 swimming too close to the abyss?

I remember someone on Pokecommunity had do on a remake of quartz and cancelled midway
So now you gotta finish that person's dream. Make it real hack
All of these are actually great designs! I’d really be fans of most of them if they were real
Oh my god I remember this one! I was salty that they forgot the exit to that game’s version of Shoal Cave 😂
Also, that game’s version of Sootopolis had no entrance.
I remember I was at my mothers job for bring your kids to work day, and her coworkers kid was playing this. it was the first time i ever saw a pokemon rom hack and the one guy said "damn" and my face was just 😮
The way you redesigned Babos actually, amazingly, DID give it a slight charm. Though more in that ugly-cute kind of way than attractive.
holy balls your good at spriting. also this video was really funny
Do Pokemon topaz next. The game you play as team rocket. The starters are a chikorita copy, a fire dog and a fish that turn into a lobster.
My favorite's Descomune. Really love the tall mountain.
5:30 I mean, if we're being fair here, Hippos are surprisingly fast for their build
"...without the guy on the title screen"
poor Senex from snakewood, people actually think that title screen with the zombie muk is hte official but the in-game one has Senex which is literally just an old guy so it's better that way
THIS ROM IS AS OLD AS ME!
i'm only over a month older lol
I love your improved Babos
Perhaps next could be reimagining Pokemon Chaos Black? A rom hack that seemed to have some nice potential on the surface but ended up a bit disappointing because it didn't go all the way
The base designs are better then expected tbh
This is so much fun to watch!
Video idea: i send you pictures of my bad creature collecter monsters, and you redesign them while making fun of them. Then i ponder why im bad at making designs.
I actually think these designs are solid, but the improved sprite work makes it easier to apriciate them.
how did you make babos so grumpy and lovable 😔
I remember this it was one of my first rom hacks
Redesigning those? Now I'm curious.
17:45 just to clarify, "osoe" doesn't mean "bear" in spanish, just "oso" The extra "e" is there because...idk it sounds cool i guess? lol
Also i love your work you reacreate the fifth gen style really well!
The extra e is for erotic

Trying to find a pokemon game without and evil team, challenge imposible
Kaosune reminds me of devihell from pokemon rescue rangers rom hacks by Jagold, u should try to remake the legendaries of that hack
Good video RetroNC😎
i had a physical copy of this game
Could u plz continue the quartz sprites? Or even remake the rom with them?)

''Garotão'' just means big guy lol
Excellent work! Although, the color choices are a bit dark & desaturated.
Super cool vid in a super cool series
Easily my favourite series to do yet haha
Sapete perché la regione di Pokémon Quartz si chiama Corna?
Perché la gente che hanno giocato al gioco si sono presi per le corna
Eh?
Eh? Capita? Per le corna,
Dare you to do Topaz
drowning in the moon
Lol, Garotao just means "Big boy" in portuguese
This game need a Remake
My favorite plant is the clover and my favorite mineral is quartz, this is relevant because their both made by the same guy
They're so dumb. Unless they're using solely Heliolisks it makes zero sense.
Please complete the sprites 🥹
Why is it popular for the wrong reasons?
Don't call them the "UGLIEST". Even if they're unrefined, that's just plain rude.
