- Pokemon Snakewood is a classic Pokemon ROM hack that still gets mentioned till this day, but what if its designs were made today? In today's video, I'll be taking some of the most well known fan made Pokemon from this Pokemon fangame, then see how they would look as modern Pokemon remakes for the Fakemon!

As the lead developer of Stygian Snakewood (the snakewood remake) I gotta say. These sprites are incredible and it makes me happy that other people are remaking those sprites. It was quite fun experience for us when we were doing some of them ourselves.
Didn't expect for the developer themselves to witness and experience me remaking their sprites.. but I'm happy to hear you like the result!
Hold up- there's a remake of Snakewood in the works? That's wild.
Wait, tell me more about it.
I love snakewood
@@genericoeimprovisado1287 Search "Stygian Snakewood" on relic castle. it's still pretty barebones and the titlescreen is a placeholder but we're having progress and a demo is releasing by like may
I would love to replay snakewood? How is the progress going?
Reading that roclobster dex entry already knowing the B-52s already had me dead laughing
I would’ve gone out of my way to make the sprite even farther away from the pokemon style and just make it a photorealistic lobster that’s been horribly compressed by the 16bit graphics
based
I actually said “like the B-52s song?”
It was exactly like the B-52s song.
They're pretty high quality but the last one didn't catch the original vibe.
It was supposed to be a weird dragon creature with a Lotad for a head.
True, but I can see how he got the to design he did, because the original sprite is not easily readable. And I had to stare at it for a while to understand what it was. Tho, the added movement he would've added would make it significantly more readable.
While faceleech is probably one of the coolest fakemon I’ve seen, your animation and style really brought it to life
It kinda reminds me of a baby Deoxys, and I think having a baby Deoxys be based on the alien parasite trope would be perfect
i have a deep ironic love for snakewood (it's so edgy and dumb, i love it) and really enjoyed seeing these goofy fakemon get some care and attention! excellent work
hoping you do a followup video only because i need to see the best bad fakemon of all time HOMBONE get a glowup :P
Snakewood was wild, but I still have a lot of love for some of its designs. Qwilshark is generally well done and was a nice addition to the Qwilfish line long before it got an alternate form in Legends Arceus
Bro you sprites are getting even better, congratulations!
The time it takes to make them also increases😭
I remember Snakewood, I couldn't get past this one lady in the forest that had the Dirtkrow
I feel the need to point out That Rock Lobster isn't directly a reference to the song by the B-52's but its usage in Family Guy which made it a meme at the time
Seeing the snakewoods mons getting gen 5 sprites makes me want to see SMT Devil Survivor demons like Waira animated.
I love how the guy didnt get the rock lobster reference at the start
The lure head inside Yuck reminds me of that one kid from a game about killing or be killed. What was the name of it tho?
Jokes aside, I really love these reworks, and how you made Yuck less edgy and make more sense within the Pokemon world.
Michel, don’t leave me here. -_-
this is really well done!
I can't wait until gen 5 rom hacking becomes more accessible so I can see sprites like this in game (and hopefully a gen 5 follow mon mod)
goosuboa is prolly a reference to pokemon diamond/jade :0 they were pirated games that were just not very well translated versions of keitai denjuu telefang lol
That person inside red muk looked like frisk from undertale😂btw good job amazing work!
undertal?
@@bigcooltony437 I mean Undertale!
It wasn't intentional, but I can't unsee it now :o
LOL I CAN SEE IT
i've been steadily rewatching pikasprey's playthrough of snakewood from a handful of years ago while i shiny hunt and it's super cool finding this in the middle of watching that! my brother was super into snakewood back in the day, definitely showing him this.
Pikasprey is a w, glad to hear he was the reason you found this video haha
You gave that lobster scoliosis.
Hope you're doing the rest of 'em!
My suggestions are any of the Madio pokémon, the Furi trio, the glute, the literal Dragon, and last but not least Kajilianth, who's pretty weird and the sprite just looks like an egg.
What's incredible about Snakewood is how it's awful but still iconic
Your sprite art always looks so good!
thank you!
I wouldn’t mind more Sprite redesign of Snakewood
Thank God someone else did it because I started this project on my own, did a couple of sprites and got tired because of how much work it needed to be done 🎉
I like how the original A Monster just has a whole Lotad stapled to it.
oh no the fucking blue lobster again
Bro you are so good in fixed old designs,
Can you please redesign fakemon from pokemon jupiter
Thanks for the praise! If I'll ever make a follow-up, I will most likely do a mash-up of multiple different fakemon from popular ROM hacks!
I love many of these redesigned some of these! I liked how you tried to make A monster more unique too!
1:26 Dude sounds like Yoshi when he says “sprites”
Faceleech reminds me of a baby Deoxys, and a baby Deoxys being based on the trope of an alien parasite makes perfect sense
The guy who just talks randomly in B-52's songs is awesome
"Where's my telephone?"
Hello from the Telefang Wiki LOL, it was cool to see Ghosboar get a revamp!
Omg hi RacieBeep (your art is super good)
Also funny how it went from the original Telefang games to a bootleg version of them pretending to be a Pokémon game, to a Pokemon romhack adding a Telefang character in reference to said bootleg, to someone respriting all the sprites in said romhack
"What?"
"Your roclobster has evolved into rorockerub!"
I named it rerockerub because its a silly goober
Ngl, I'm curious from this how you'd do animated sprites of the PULSE machine pokemon from Reborn?
All n all, I liked Roclobster the best; both the original and remade sprites. It felt the most like an original Pokemon that would actually fit in with real ones.
2:10 I kinda feel like the extra neck wasn't as close to the original. But the colouring was great update.
4:40 I need to see this with the drooping animation later gens have - you know the trippy one especially the Alolan Muk has.
Usually, I don't play Pokémon Snakewood because it's too dark and scary. 😨
Anyways, here's my suggestion for your next video: Make Jackamo Monsters (from the Press Start series), Gen 5 Pokémon sprite-style! 👍
Sounds interesting! I'll give it a look, but let's see how this video performs first! I usually decide on continuing a series if the initial videos does well haha
@@RetroNC Okay. lol
you should do a second part with the fakemons of pokemon quartz
Oh my! Such a gorgeous work, by the way, what is the software you are using? The fact you can animate as well is very practical imo.
I used LibreSprite, but now I'm making the sprites on Aseprite - pretty much the same program lol
thank you for changing the monster's look. now i can comprehend what the heck i was looking at!
5:07 That's a denjuu from Keitai Denju Telefang.
your sprite art work is amazing!
if you don't mind me asking, what program do you use for your sprites?
Aseprite is my main :)
Dude I loved snakewood... It was tough and even if the entire thing was edge for edge sake. But mf I loved the time I spent with it.
As a sprite art fan this absolutely stole a subscribe from me! Amazing artwork, amazing bases to work on
I would’ve renamed rocklobster rolocker (ra-looker) and gave goosuboa a ability called fake hog where it tricks the opponent of being a weak lechonk so it lowers the defense and sp. defense of the opponent by 2
Now remake the fakemon from pokemon wack for the true WORST pokemon sprites lmao
Also nice resprites, they look really good !
This is so cool!!! Snakewood was,, an experience to say the least back in the day 😅 but this is super cool to see!!
Something that I think would be a fun project, of a similar calibur, would be redesigning some of the mons from Pokemon Sweet! I love that rom, it was my favorite back in the day!
Honestly gives me inspiration to make my own rom hack
I'd like to think that AMONSTER should've been a swirling whirlwind of these creatures, not a standing monster like you remade it into
I would kill to see more of the Snakewood sprites done in your style :3
Yoooo your sprite work is awesome
idk if Stygian Snakewood is a joke or not. its like the loudhouse 18 million word self insert fanfic. you dont really know if the guy who made the fanfic is serious or not its a mystery
My favorite redesign is Roclobster. I do think it looks like it could be an official pokemon.
New Rock Lobster looks like its missing it back
Just snapped its head off and stuck it on its head
God i love Snakewood. So stupidly edgy, but its so damn hard in places & it really feels heartfelt
Rocclobster, if not owned by the B-52s, wouldve made for an actually amazing pokemon
what would be yucks typing if it was in a normal pokemon game without the disease type? will it have a different type or stay poison? let me know.
The best classic romhack
I just played Snakewood back in October for my streams, and never had a game pissed me off as much as that did 😂
Awesome video on a game i know nothing about.
Some criticisms though.
Goosuboa needed a bigger redesign or to not appear here at all. The resprite is still a plagiarized design.
Your take on A Monster also isnt as good as the original honestly. It looks intentionally silly when the original had a cool pose going for it. Would've been cool to see a feral frankenmon that takes itself seriously in your style
Everything outside of that is great though
As much as the new Yuck looks amazing, I think the spikes on the back looked like exposed tips of a rib cage and making them thicker makes it lose that macabre effect
I already knew roclobster was a B-52's reference. But what makes the pokemon a dragon-type?
Im playing this game and its not bad , i like this game yeah it does have some pokemon sprite that do not look great but its a fun game
Oh my go- IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE THIS REMADE!❤
What do you mean infamous, this is the best romhack ever made
Agreed
Yessssssss
The human eating muk used to look like skibidi toilet, now it looks amaizing
Ah yes, the new form of muk:
Puhctek
What did you use to make the sprites? They look amazing
I can't live without Aseprite at this point lol
my only exposure to this hack has been from Pikasprey's video on it, and it is very much so a trainwreck, neat to see someone improve on a few of its designs, though!
This isn't supposed to be mean or anything, I'm just stupid, but I didn't know there are actual people who talk like Dracula. I knew it was a real accent but I thought Dracula was super exagerated version. Again, not rying to be mean lol I like the cool accent.
Could I have your permission to use your sprite of face leech as a base for a Deoxys/Remoraid fusion? Fully credited of course!
Yup, of course! You can get it from my DeviantArt page that's linked in my bio :)
Awesome!
The redesign of A monster was truly astonishing
Congratulations! You animated an Amalgamate!
Snake
Pokémon Wood Snake sounds too much like Woody’s catchphrase There’s a snake in my boot! 😅
Wish you did something similar with quartz
I think I like Roclobter's old sprite more
0:50 the moment I heard it I knew it sounded familiar so I looked it up and a family Guy video helped
Snakewood made me wanna punch a wall sometimes due to the absolute insane difficulty back then, but even so it has some kind of "charm" that i can't help but to love. No wonder Pikasprey went mad when playing this abomination of a game.
a Monster did metamorphosis
Your art skills are very cool!
Dude you need to share the rom so that we can enjoy it too!!! This is no fair 😂😂😂
Very cool sprite work👍
Bro needed to search for rock lobster
bro literally took out the snakewood from snakewood
I knowz it wasn't intentional but as a huge fan of the Snakewood ROM Hack I was a tad angry that the head you designed into Yuck looked like you ripped of Fisk's head from Undertale when the head in its mouth is that of the original male character you play as in the base game it was made from which a more 3D version of that was available thankz to the ORAS games Fisk doesn't need to be in Yuck's mouth please fix this
all other design upgrades look great and thanks for sharing info with the fans on mon they might have wanted in their games and ways to obtain said mon if possible ... not going to lie I was lowkey jealous of the helper guy for having Faceleech as a partner mon and I wanted one for myself
Oh...the child inside that thing is okay? 😨
No KingMadio redesign? 😢
XD
how dose he make the rom hack makeovers
I only wish you kept a monster's horrid slapped together design, like one arm on that thing has a lotad stitched onto an arm as a hand, new design looks good though but the lore states some insane guy stitched random shit together into an abomination.
You made a good design that seems more out of digimon, though i liked the numel hump being shoved into the head that's the good stuff.
Excellent stuff! What program do you use to make your sprites if you don't mind me asking?
Aseprite currently, though a free alternative I used at the time was LibreSprite!
Very cool and fun video. If you don't mind me asking however, what is the program you use for these?
The program I use is called Aseprite!
@@RetroNC Thank you!!
3:54 Frisk Undertale?!
More of this please
10:17 i think this is do on purpuse
Do you know the Iraq Lobster from Family Guy? It's the same song
damn thats good
thank you
I lowkey think the original Monster pokemon looks better 🙈
Frisk from under tale😢
Umm i got interested how do you make your pokemon rom hacks?
I’ve only played it and unbound
What did you use for this video, by that I mean the application that you used to design and animate the Pokémon
Aseprite/LibreSprite, both are pretty much the same thing
