I think braixen could have a really cool split evolution. The whole fennekin line is supposed to basically be a combination of the Japanese kitsune fox and classic western-style witches, but Delphox ended up leaning a lot more into the witch esthetic. So a split evolution that leans more into the kitsune part of the concept could be a cool contrast to Delphox
I feel if they're gonna stay with the whole humanoid form while incorporating more kitsune-elements, they'd end up with something adjacent to the common "calamitous vixen"-archetype anime foxgirl... the kind that's dressed in a loose kimono, to stray away from Delphox's look, since otherwise Delphox is already kinda between that... and while Braixen already catches a lot of flack for pandering to furries, that, I feel, could just reignite that entire thing. I'd rather see them lean in completely on its fenneck/desert fox-angle, maybe even a bit more Egyptian/African inspiration.
It depends on what we want. If we want a split evolution of Braixen, it's probably for the best to stay way from Delphox motifs. But if we want a reimagining of Delphox, then it's different! I personally am of the opinion the final evolution of Braixen should just be bigger Braixen, with even more witch elements in the mix. I absolutely hate the whole fur-dress concept of Delphox. Not only looks off and gives me off vibes, it makes it look more bulky and less slim. 100% lean more into an anime style, with a whole broom she can ride on, or a staff. I think a great inspiration on how to idealize the Fennekin line is, the Warp Digivolution of Renamon, Sakuyamon, in the Digimon Tamers anime. Human shaped kitsune with a magical staff and armor plating, switch the plating for witch/magic elements and you're set.
I think it'd be fun to not only combind this with James Fairy type suggestion but also have it go back to being a quadruped, maybe also instead of Pyromancy type of Mage it could be a healer type mage that learns mostly healing moves
I would LOVE a split evolution for Floragato where it keeps its slight fencer-esque stylings and goes full Puss in Boots! I get its meant to be a yoyo trickster, but sometimes that feels like a weird tacked on aspect of its design, that doesn't fit the performance/showmanship theme as well as it should. The designs of the Sprigatito line have very loose theming, and I think a Puss in Boots styled final evo would fit in well for that very reason!
I think that is one the biggest issue people have, (apart from how effeminate it looks) meowscarada doesn’t feel like a natural progression from floragato. The magician aspect just seems to come out of nowhere.
@@intergalactic92 Yeah! If Floragato had like, card trick elements instead of the yoyo trick theming it'd work WAY better. It'd also be better if Meowscarada kept the flower on its vest, instead of it being a collar imo, as well as keeping the vest extended further in the front by a bit like Floragato.
As a meowscarada fan i must say i would love that much more than the magican theme. I always liked the design and look but felt like something was missing or the design was a bit of a blank canvas. With this you could easily keep the mask and the black legs resembling stockings/boots and add cool plant inspired fencing gear or clothing that's well integrated into the design so it feels natural and sleek.
@@sitara_sketches_sometimes Yeah! After seeing Floragato in leaks I was so hyped that my Puss in Boots theory was right, then Meowscarada dropped and I was like "Bro where its sword at?" And then Quaquaval and Skeledirge were revealed in-game and I physically scrunched up my nose at the former, such a waste of Quaxly's potential on such an ugly design with no thematic throughline. Skeledirge is the best fitting design, and even then the performer theme comes out of nowhere with that line too, it just gets a sombrero in its second form.
yea, but wouldnt that mess up the secondary type triangle delphox has w chestnaught n greninja ? (which is physic, dark n fighting, which creates a triangle since physic is weak to dark, dark is weak to fighting n fighting is weak to physic)

Your Comedeep is one of my new favourite fake-mon of yours, perfect concept, design and I did not think that letting pooplio go in the clown route would ever work but you convinced me. Great job King!
Well, I didn't even know I wanted an alternate croconaw evolution, but there he is. Good job on that one. Also good job working on a new grovyle evo when I know you love septile so much, that beast is everything I wanted my grovyle to be. As for raboot's new evolution, I really appreciate the effort you made to not make it look like just a humanoid rabbit in a football strip. The way you can give pokemon features that look like clothes or invoke the idea of clothes without just straight up looking like it's wearing human clothes is nothing short of amazing.
I’d love a torracat evolution that stays quadrupedal and is more explicitly tiger-like. A grass/dark thwackey evolution that’s more aggressive looking and wields a giant wooden club would also be cool to see, since that’s what I expected grookey to evolve into.
I love this concept. Gamefreak should've done this forever ago. We would've gotten cool new Pokemon and Gamefreak would be making bank. Win-win! I wanna see an alternate Bayleef Evo, ngl.
I was thinking they were gonna do that on the lead-up to Sun and Moon, sorta like Lycanroc, give us a day and a night-evolution for the starters, one humanoid one beastial... it didn't end up happening of course, but that would've been the perfect moment to introduce something like that. Well, at least we've got something _kinda_ like that now, at least for the Hisuian starters...
This is a super cool and unique idea! If you do a part 2, I'd love to see you do Litten or Sprigatito, given the huge backlash they got from being bipedal in their evolution. Also, if you ever do second stage evolutions, please do Chespin... I love Chespin, maybe my favorite starter Pokemon and I like Chesnaught (not as much), but Quilladin 😭
@@MetaknighttheloneswordsmanMan, same. If it wasn't for its Wrestler like design, it'd be passed over for inclusion into Smash. One of the other reasons why I enjoyed Incineroar.
I had an interesting idea a while back for some starters. Basically, they start off mono-type, Grass, Fire, and Water. But, when they get to their third stage, they each get a split-evo. Not only that, but both are dual-typed, being the other starter types. Grass will become Grass/Water or Grass/Fire Water becomes Water/Grass or Water/Fire Fire changes into Fire/Grass or Fire/Water It doesn't help that each final-evo has different stat arrangements. What do you think of this idea?
I absolutely adore Feraligatr and all the other crocodilian lines in Pokemon so it was really awesome to see them get some love!! I absolutely adored Crocolith and Graptor as they're two of my favorite starters!
Cinderace is not a Pokémon I dislike, but I like Emberush so much more. It feels way more like an evolution of Raboot to me. Great video, I’d love to see a part 2.
Your Feraligatr improved on perfection. Your posing and shape language is amazing now. I always loved both your videos and your art, but remembering your older art shocks me sometimes. You’re really inspiring for how much you’ve improved through evident practice and hard work
This needs to happen to Wartortle and Dewot, they are completely different to their evolution. Wartortle was initially intended to be a different evo than was made but was changed quickly to lower the amount of Pokémon. Dewot evolved into a huge massive seal which didn’t make sense so it would look great for there to be a 2 legged Monster that is light blue with a giant Shell in it’s hand. Perhaps it could be bite it’s shell to as it’s signature attack. Wartortle could be a Flying Water type with huge Wings around it with amazing Clouds around it. It’s signature move would be Wet Cloud that is a special attack doing a 120 attack first round but second round the opponent gets +1 Defense
This is such an innovative idea, I did think it would be interesting if their colors would the the shinies coloration of the og evos but this is overall so fun I love seeing your process
I absolutely adore what you did with Brionne and Raboot evos. Both look legit and very natural. My only personal nitpick with the grovyle evo you made, it looks like the head was the only part of the body that didn't evolve, but the coat of foliage is a great next step. If I don't compare it to grovyle, the whole design ties together well on its own. Good design work as usual!
Ok. This is a very cool concept. And it's clear this can give a lot more alternate ideas for these Pokemon, including giving some monotyped mons dual-typings. I would personally like to see what could be done with Blastoise, giving a Wartortle split evo an alternate take either by giving it the Steel typing we thought it would've gotten with its Mega, or maybe give it the rock typing to mix it up and add to its bulk. Other ideas I can personally think of include giving Pignite an alternate evo that isn't a Fire/Fighting type to see what could've been done, and possibly have it more reflect a different royal status. Maybe do something for one of the Americas to match the region and contrast with Samurott's Asian influence and Serperior's European design. Adding at least one Grass type in the mix, while I like Meowscarada, maybe you could give Floragato a split evo that could give it a Steel Typing based on how its vines and fur are said to get hardened based on its dex entries. For a fourth option? Hmm... really, I think the only one I can offer up would have to be a Gen 6 mon. I know a lot of people don't like Delphox and I see a few people offering up Braixen split evo ideas, but I'm going to go with Chesnaught. Sure, we got the Warrior, the Mage, and the Rogue, but if any Gen 6 starters get more evos, it should be based off another RPG class, and personally for Chesnaught, I think it should have something linking it to a Barbarian to more emphasize its strength and power. If you did Braixen, maybe add in a split evo that makes it more in line with a healer perhaps?
I enjoy your videos a lot, and this one was great as usual. I have a small suggestion for the future videos tho: could you add the og Pokémon (or the pre-evo or the evolved form or whatever the inspiration for the point of the video is) somewhere in the final image, like a bubble in a corner, for comparison? Or a "before -> after" slide or something. Anything that makes comparing the two easier than having to google the og one and flip between tabs 😂
Before Rillaboom was revealed, I imagined Grooky's evolution to be a female-looking mix between a londonian guard and a majorette for some reason. I tried to design it, but never came up with anything good. It'll be interesting if there's a part two to this video doing something like this.
Great video! I like that you went with the split evolution route so that it works really well for people who liked the original final evolution AND the people who wanted something different. Feraligatr is my favorite starter pokemon, but I really like what you came up with for Crocolith! It's cool that you made them a quadruped instead of bipedal like the original. I hope you're able to make more of these 😄
Graptor looks amazing, and I wish it actually existed. I'd love a part 2! How about split evolutions for Monferno, Prinplup, Servine, and Torracat? I never liked Inciniroar, and was always disappointed by it, so many a split evolution would make a better version?
Love Emberush! I didn't jive with any of the final stage Gen 8 starters, but I really like this design. Electric Surge might be too overpowered of an ability though xD
I definitely want to see more. Particularly a fully otter samurott, a quadrupedal emboar and incineroar, a more glyptodont-inspired chesnaut, and a less angular skeledirge.
I absolutely love Emberush!! A Roy Kent demeanor is perfect!! Comedeep is also sick I would just fix his head proportions a little to extend the neck maybe but I think it’s a great design.
I love this so much If you're planning on making a part 2 I'd love to see a new take on intelion that keeps it more grounded (as in not standing on 2 with a straight back lol)
I would love to see a Dartrix evolution where it keeps its fancy design and motifs. Perhaps it keeps the flying type or changes to something which further emphasises the more elegant evolution.
I like Primarina and Cinderace, but these new split evolutions are awesome. Especially Comedeep! I was expecting a Water/Fighting Pokémon because we thought Popplio would become that type, but this is better. Dark is my favorite type lol
I personally feel like the only chance we'd actually get to see split evolutions for starters is if the middle stages got regional variants. My favorite ideas like this I like to gravitate to is a Fire/Electric Charmeleon, a Water/Ice Prinplup, and a Grass/Rock Thwakey, each of which getting a new evolution.
Graptor to me feels more like a (very cool!) Grovile variant, as a Treeko split evolution. I think it's because of Velociraptor being used as reference, it's an animal that barely reaches a person's knees after all! I think it gives it small Pokémon energy, all things considered.
I’d really want to see this done for Torracat if you do a part 2. I loved my Litten and Torracat back when I first played Sun, and while I appreciate Incineroar now (mainly because of how cool it is in Smash), back then I hated how they massacred my boy, to the point that I gave my Torracat an Everstone. Torracat is my favorite Pokémon of all time, but it would have been cool if its evolution was my favorite.. you know?
Back when torracat was shown I was really hoping we'd get the fast fire/ground type that would be able to highlight its offensive ability (something that a slow, derpy lava camel can't). When they trolled players with a wrestler that barely avoided a lynching with the dark type, I was...not happy. I'm not quite as salty about it now, but I like decidueye better so I've just never used it when given the option.
This is cool. I've actually done something similar for the starters in my fakemon region, except the split comes from the base form, you can either evolve the starters by level up like normal, or give the base form a particular item to get a different set of evolutions.
Graptor looks AMAZING! I love it! This is such a cool idea/concept. I'd LOVE for you to do this with the Litten and Sobble line. While Incineroar grew on me, I'd like to see what you could do. Like a reverse of what you did with Popplio's final evo here. Maybe instead of the bulky, bipedal wrestler, it'd be a quadrapedal, lithe tiger. And I think I'd have liked Intelleon's design more if it wasn't so damn SKINNY!
Just something I picked up on after binge watching your fakemon creation videos, but I really enjoy how much Emberush looks like a fusion between two of your original fakemon from your "Making fakemon based on anime characters" videos, namely the fakemon based on Deku with the pose and the one based on Naruto with the colour scheme, coming whole circle with the soccer aesthetic keeping in line with Raboot so it looks more cohesive. You have a very neat talent in creating simple or uncomplicated designs and still incorporates so much like Jersey design looking like natural fur patterns and how the ears should look when in motion so it's more aerodynamic, and dude the way you draw eyes is very important too. Every single fakemon in this video has very emotive eyes that, even if the design wasn't obvious, give us an idea of what evolutionary family they ought to belong to. Maybe my recency bias with the anime fakemon isn't allowing me to put any of the other designs over Emberush, even though Graptor, Comedeep and Crocolith are all easily S tier designs in their own right. 😁
I loveeee all of these final evolutions. I was wondering if you could do a part 2 to this video and add a split evolution to Fucoco's final evo. I liked the bird motif in the evolution line, and I think it should've been expended upon more. Plus, I really hate the final evolution of Fucoco lol
I love how Comedeep's signature move even serves as an opposite to Primarina's. Sparkling Aria heals the burn of any Pokemon it hits, while Bubbling Slap inflicts burns.
I've always imagined Wartortle could split evolve into a flying type with his wing like ear fluffs. How Blastoise turned into a Water Tank, I could see a Water/Flying evo based on a Jet plane
I’ve never had a problem with the starter final evos showcased here, but your designs are SO much better. I would love to see these in game. I think Comedeep feels more like a split evolution to counter Primarina. If you ever do more of these, maybe a split evolution for Wartortle? I always felt like Wartortle was setting up for a final evo with a bigger tail and more of a wise but powerful turtle feel.
Honestly, I would love to see a Torracat split evo, as a huge Litten fan, I was kinda disappointed with Incinaroar so I would love to see your take on it.
I would love to see a grovyle evo that goes back to its gecko roots rather than becoming more of a dinosaur. Like a giant grass/psychic gecko that creates invisible barriers to climb.
Croconaw feels like Paradox Feraligatr I love it! You KNOW if GF ever did this they’d give Zard an alternate evo, perhaps a terrestrial drake or more of a physical brawler. Bayleef feels like it could use an alternate for sure
I think you missed an opportunity when you named the ability liquid laugh rather than bubbly laugh Holy crap I want crocolith to be real so freaking bad!❤
all of the Kalos starters final evolutions feel pretty separated from their previous evos so maybe a more weapon-like Quilladin evolution to contrast Chesnaught’s armored look, a magical girl-like kitsune from Braixen, and a calmer looking Frogadier evolution that keeps the bubbles
This whole concept reminds me of the starter Hisuian forms, just taken an extra step further. Would love to see what you’d do with beloved starters like Charizard and Greninja
Honestly right before Sun & Moon I thought spilt evolution for the starters was going to happen & in the next video about this I can see the first starters where Squirtle gets a evolution with it getting a duel typing while the others get just one, but that aside I love these designs especially Comedeep & Crocolith
i'd love starter split evolutions. Would make for a way more interesting endgame. fearaligatr was my starter in pokemon silver, and crokolith looks just amazing!
gotta be honest, Cinderace is one of my least favorite Pokemon, I really don't like its design... of course it's a personal preference. But Emberush... uff... that thing is beautiful. I would do whatever possible to alter our timeline to make Emberush the official evolution of Raboot.
i liked the original sceptile more tbh the split evolution you made looked more like a middle evolution but it still looked good. I also wished that comedeeps colors were as dark as it's shiny and the original colors would be switched with the shiny's.
Scyther's evolution in legends arceus sets an interesting precedent, Cleaver is what happens when a Scyther evolves naturally in the wild, makes me wonder what other pokemon that require trade would also evolve into if they naturally evolved in the wild, another example is poliwirl evolves into poliwrath if done do naturally in the wild (needs a water stone but still works) but evolves into politoad if trades with kings rock
I haven't seen the video yet, but I legit did a similar concept with my own starters for my own region! I plan on redesigning them so they feel more like starter pokemon since I do believe that there are actual rules to starter designs unlike other pokemon designs.
Could you draw a split evolution for ivysaur? I was thinking something along the lines of gloom where the new evolution goes a bit tropical. Instead of becoming a giant frog the main body could perhaps go bipedal and be like a burly man in haka pose. Some of the tattoos across the arms could become vines and the roots of the flower bulb could maybe grow around the torso (as some light armor) and legs (bit of a straw skirt design). Then instead of one big flower on the back, it could perhaps grow several smaller flowers to give a bit of a Hawaiian shirt vibe? I dunno, in my head it looks cool.
I don't know how spicy of a take this is, but I think Samurott should get a water-fighting (to keep the Samuri theme) or a water-ghost replacement (to go into the fact Dewott looks like a ninja)
I prefer sceptile, and the split evolution for brionne looks like it could still evolve, but I love the evolutions for croconaw and raboot, the missed opportunity for the second typings used here were well executed imo.
Honestly I feel like if you were going to do a split...I feel like a split for inceniroar would be best. I personally adore Inceniroar but I know its a jarring evolution for it to stand. Idk what you would do with a Big tiger but id be interested to see.
the one trend i hate in starters is the hard left turn from the middle stage to final stage, sceptile wasn't as bad about it but it still dropped a lot of thing from grovyle that were working well (also i was charmed by mystery dungeon grovyle). primarina i was always confused at the backlash, yeah standard starter gender ratios but they were already going in a mermaid performer back at brionne (subtler but still). you'd think they'd never seen a male dancer or acrobat with how much of a tantrum they threw...
Love Crocolith, would be sweet if we got something like that for the hopefully evetual Legends Kyurem, rock typing obviously brings fossil pokemon to mind
Idea! Charmander is based on the fact that salamanders are associated with fire, but it ends up turning into a dragon? Maybe a deep red salamander low to the ground could remedy this
All of these are amazing!! For a new dartrix evolution, maybe one that actually stays grass/flying type? Not the most interesting idea, but I'm curious as to how you would design it. Amazing work as always!

So a split evolution that leans more into the kitsune part of the concept could be a cool contrast to Delphox

Dewot evolved into a huge massive seal which didn’t make sense so it would look great for there to be a 2 legged Monster that is light blue with a giant Shell in it’s hand. Perhaps it could be bite it’s shell to as it’s signature attack. Wartortle could be a Flying Water type with huge Wings around it with amazing Clouds around it. It’s signature move would be Wet Cloud that is a special attack doing a 120 attack first round but second round the opponent gets +1 Defense
Middle evolutions I would to see in a possible second version of this video :D
Quilava, Dewott, Servine and Floragato
This is such an innovative idea, I did think it would be interesting if their colors would the the shinies coloration of the og evos but this is overall so fun I love seeing your process
such a dope concept. love all of these
Loooove Crocolith. Croconaw’s pelt colored patterns always felt so random.
I love Crocolith! I never thought about any different Feraligatr, but it looks super good, and could be a legends Arceus starter
I absolutely adore what you did with Brionne and Raboot evos. Both look legit and very natural. My only personal nitpick with the grovyle evo you made, it looks like the head was the only part of the body that didn't evolve, but the coat of foliage is a great next step. If I don't compare it to grovyle, the whole design ties together well on its own. Good design work as usual!
Ok. This is a very cool concept. And it's clear this can give a lot more alternate ideas for these Pokemon, including giving some monotyped mons dual-typings. I would personally like to see what could be done with Blastoise, giving a Wartortle split evo an alternate take either by giving it the Steel typing we thought it would've gotten with its Mega, or maybe give it the rock typing to mix it up and add to its bulk.
Other ideas I can personally think of include giving Pignite an alternate evo that isn't a Fire/Fighting type to see what could've been done, and possibly have it more reflect a different royal status. Maybe do something for one of the Americas to match the region and contrast with Samurott's Asian influence and Serperior's European design.
Adding at least one Grass type in the mix, while I like Meowscarada, maybe you could give Floragato a split evo that could give it a Steel Typing based on how its vines and fur are said to get hardened based on its dex entries.
For a fourth option? Hmm... really, I think the only one I can offer up would have to be a Gen 6 mon. I know a lot of people don't like Delphox and I see a few people offering up Braixen split evo ideas, but I'm going to go with Chesnaught. Sure, we got the Warrior, the Mage, and the Rogue, but if any Gen 6 starters get more evos, it should be based off another RPG class, and personally for Chesnaught, I think it should have something linking it to a Barbarian to more emphasize its strength and power. If you did Braixen, maybe add in a split evo that makes it more in line with a healer perhaps?
I would LOVE to see a split evo for Blastoise! Even though I love Blastoise, I think see another evo that looks more like Warturtle would be EPIC!
I love Comedeep’s eyes!!! Great job.
I enjoy your videos a lot, and this one was great as usual. I have a small suggestion for the future videos tho: could you add the og Pokémon (or the pre-evo or the evolved form or whatever the inspiration for the point of the video is) somewhere in the final image, like a bubble in a corner, for comparison? Or a "before -> after" slide or something. Anything that makes comparing the two easier than having to google the og one and flip between tabs 😂
I love the natural progression through the starters evolutions
Before Rillaboom was revealed, I imagined Grooky's evolution to be a female-looking mix between a londonian guard and a majorette for some reason.
I tried to design it, but never came up with anything good. It'll be interesting if there's a part two to this video doing something like this.
Great video! I like that you went with the split evolution route so that it works really well for people who liked the original final evolution AND the people who wanted something different. Feraligatr is my favorite starter pokemon, but I really like what you came up with for Crocolith! It's cool that you made them a quadruped instead of bipedal like the original. I hope you're able to make more of these 😄
Graptor looks amazing, and I wish it actually existed. I'd love a part 2! How about split evolutions for Monferno, Prinplup, Servine, and Torracat? I never liked Inciniroar, and was always disappointed by it, so many a split evolution would make a better version?
Love Emberush! I didn't jive with any of the final stage Gen 8 starters, but I really like this design. Electric Surge might be too overpowered of an ability though xD
I definitely want to see more. Particularly a fully otter samurott, a quadrupedal emboar and incineroar, a more glyptodont-inspired chesnaut, and a less angular skeledirge.
I want a cuter final counterpart to samurott. What bothers me is that his face completely changed shape and doesn’t look at all like oshawott.
This may be one of the best concepts for a video I've seen from this channel yet! I'd be ecstatic for more in the future.
PLEASE MAKE A PART TWO I WOULD BE SO HAPPY! Anyways i love these evolution's crocolith especially but the other two were amazing too
I absolutely love Emberush!! A Roy Kent demeanor is perfect!! Comedeep is also sick I would just fix his head proportions a little to extend the neck maybe but I think it’s a great design.
I love this so much
If you're planning on making a part 2 I'd love to see a new take on intelion that keeps it more grounded (as in not standing on 2 with a straight back lol)
I would love to see a Dartrix evolution where it keeps its fancy design and motifs. Perhaps it keeps the flying type or changes to something which further emphasises the more elegant evolution.
Comedeep looks so cool, definitely my favorite of the split evolutions 👍🏻💙
How about inteleon but an assassin that uses daggers instead of a sniper and keeping a bit of that emo vibe that drizzile has
I like Primarina and Cinderace, but these new split evolutions are awesome. Especially Comedeep! I was expecting a Water/Fighting Pokémon because we thought Popplio would become that type, but this is better. Dark is my favorite type lol
Love the new popplio evolution, i have always wondered how a male version of primarina would look like and you did it perfect,
That’s what I was gonna say! It was really amazing, i wish it was a real Pokémon
Primarina are like 85% male...
@@Jarino507 i know and thats kinda wierd when you think about it lol
@@cesarp.3035 Not really. People get so hung up on gender norms. They're magical animals, it's not like they have to adhere to that.
@@Jarino507Why are you taking this so seriously 😭 the original commentor was just having fun 😅
I personally feel like the only chance we'd actually get to see split evolutions for starters is if the middle stages got regional variants. My favorite ideas like this I like to gravitate to is a Fire/Electric Charmeleon, a Water/Ice Prinplup, and a Grass/Rock Thwakey, each of which getting a new evolution.
Great video concept! It'd be nice to see a side by side of the new and old final evolutions.
I'd also love to see Incenaroar in the next video.
Graptor to me feels more like a (very cool!) Grovile variant, as a Treeko split evolution. I think it's because of Velociraptor being used as reference, it's an animal that barely reaches a person's knees after all! I think it gives it small Pokémon energy, all things considered.
I’d really want to see this done for Torracat if you do a part 2.
I loved my Litten and Torracat back when I first played Sun, and while I appreciate Incineroar now (mainly because of how cool it is in Smash), back then I hated how they massacred my boy, to the point that I gave my Torracat an Everstone.
Torracat is my favorite Pokémon of all time, but it would have been cool if its evolution was my favorite.. you know?
Also yeah I mainly hated Incineroar because he stood up when its previous forms were on all fours.
Back when torracat was shown I was really hoping we'd get the fast fire/ground type that would be able to highlight its offensive ability (something that a slow, derpy lava camel can't). When they trolled players with a wrestler that barely avoided a lynching with the dark type, I was...not happy. I'm not quite as salty about it now, but I like decidueye better so I've just never used it when given the option.
@@gidiotIt's not necessarily that Incineroar stood up that I'm not a fan, more just because it looks really goofy.
This is cool. I've actually done something similar for the starters in my fakemon region, except the split comes from the base form, you can either evolve the starters by level up like normal, or give the base form a particular item to get a different set of evolutions.
Literally not a single bad design you've made here
You absolutely fixed the Popplio line. Maybe your best ever design.
How can you fix something that was already perfect?
4:56 Comedeep, SICK!
Graptor looks AMAZING! I love it! This is such a cool idea/concept. I'd LOVE for you to do this with the Litten and Sobble line. While Incineroar grew on me, I'd like to see what you could do. Like a reverse of what you did with Popplio's final evo here. Maybe instead of the bulky, bipedal wrestler, it'd be a quadrapedal, lithe tiger.
And I think I'd have liked Intelleon's design more if it wasn't so damn SKINNY!
Primarina is honestly one of my favourite starters, but Comedeep looks sick af!
I love your videos keep up the good work
a part 2 would be pretty cool
samurott and incineroar would be interesting as they kinda did the opposite in terms of legs
Just something I picked up on after binge watching your fakemon creation videos, but I really enjoy how much Emberush looks like a fusion between two of your original fakemon from your "Making fakemon based on anime characters" videos, namely the fakemon based on Deku with the pose and the one based on Naruto with the colour scheme, coming whole circle with the soccer aesthetic keeping in line with Raboot so it looks more cohesive. You have a very neat talent in creating simple or uncomplicated designs and still incorporates so much like Jersey design looking like natural fur patterns and how the ears should look when in motion so it's more aerodynamic, and dude the way you draw eyes is very important too. Every single fakemon in this video has very emotive eyes that, even if the design wasn't obvious, give us an idea of what evolutionary family they ought to belong to. Maybe my recency bias with the anime fakemon isn't allowing me to put any of the other designs over Emberush, even though Graptor, Comedeep and Crocolith are all easily S tier designs in their own right. 😁
I loveeee all of these final evolutions. I was wondering if you could do a part 2 to this video and add a split evolution to Fucoco's final evo. I liked the bird motif in the evolution line, and I think it should've been expended upon more. Plus, I really hate the final evolution of Fucoco lol
I love how Comedeep's signature move even serves as an opposite to Primarina's. Sparkling Aria heals the burn of any Pokemon it hits, while Bubbling Slap inflicts burns.
I've always imagined Wartortle could split evolve into a flying type with his wing like ear fluffs. How Blastoise turned into a Water Tank, I could see a Water/Flying evo based on a Jet plane
These are so cool!!! I would love to see a Venusaur one
I’ve never had a problem with the starter final evos showcased here, but your designs are SO much better. I would love to see these in game. I think Comedeep feels more like a split evolution to counter Primarina.
If you ever do more of these, maybe a split evolution for Wartortle? I always felt like Wartortle was setting up for a final evo with a bigger tail and more of a wise but powerful turtle feel.
Honestly, I would love to see a Torracat split evo, as a huge Litten fan, I was kinda disappointed with Incinaroar so I would love to see your take on it.
I like the crocodile evolution. Do another part of the split evolution
I would love to see a grovyle evo that goes back to its gecko roots rather than becoming more of a dinosaur. Like a giant grass/psychic gecko that creates invisible barriers to climb.
Croconaw feels like Paradox Feraligatr I love it! You KNOW if GF ever did this they’d give Zard an alternate evo, perhaps a terrestrial drake or more of a physical brawler. Bayleef feels like it could use an alternate for sure
I think you missed an opportunity when you named the ability liquid laugh rather than bubbly laugh
Holy crap I want crocolith to be real so freaking bad!❤
all of the Kalos starters final evolutions feel pretty separated from their previous evos
so maybe a more weapon-like Quilladin evolution to contrast Chesnaught’s armored look, a magical girl-like kitsune from Braixen, and a calmer looking Frogadier evolution that keeps the bubbles
Okay, you just made Feraligatr EVEN BETTER!! I really like this design! Definetly the strongest one in the entire video
This whole concept reminds me of the starter Hisuian forms, just taken an extra step further. Would love to see what you’d do with beloved starters like Charizard and Greninja
Honestly right before Sun & Moon I thought spilt evolution for the starters was going to happen & in the next video about this I can see the first starters where Squirtle gets a evolution with it getting a duel typing while the others get just one, but that aside I love these designs especially Comedeep & Crocolith
i'd love starter split evolutions. Would make for a way more interesting endgame. fearaligatr was my starter in pokemon silver, and crokolith looks just amazing!
Primarina is peak starter design love her 🥺
I love this! You definitely need to continue this. I'd love to see new evolutions for Bayleef, Braixen, Pignite, Torracat or Thwackey.
gotta be honest, Cinderace is one of my least favorite Pokemon, I really don't like its design... of course it's a personal preference. But Emberush... uff... that thing is beautiful. I would do whatever possible to alter our timeline to make Emberush the official evolution of Raboot.
i liked the original sceptile more tbh the split evolution you made looked more like a middle evolution but it still looked good. I also wished that comedeeps colors were as dark as it's shiny and the original colors would be switched with the shiny's.
I looove the grovyle split evolution!! But I love the male sealion too!!
I would like to see Incineroar get one making it quadrupled or something like that
Comedeep is everything I could’ve wanted from Popplio’s 3rd form. Thank you making this exist. Wonderful 🙇🏻♂️
Amazing as always

Scyther's evolution in legends arceus sets an interesting precedent, Cleaver is what happens when a Scyther evolves naturally in the wild, makes me wonder what other pokemon that require trade would also evolve into if they naturally evolved in the wild, another example is poliwirl evolves into poliwrath if done do naturally in the wild (needs a water stone but still works) but evolves into politoad if trades with kings rock
I haven't seen the video yet, but I legit did a similar concept with my own starters for my own region! I plan on redesigning them so they feel more like starter pokemon since I do believe that there are actual rules to starter designs unlike other pokemon designs.
Could you draw a split evolution for ivysaur?
I was thinking something along the lines of gloom where the new evolution goes a bit tropical.
Instead of becoming a giant frog the main body could perhaps go bipedal and be like a burly man in haka pose. Some of the tattoos across the arms could become vines and the roots of the flower bulb could maybe grow around the torso (as some light armor) and legs (bit of a straw skirt design). Then instead of one big flower on the back, it could perhaps grow several smaller flowers to give a bit of a Hawaiian shirt vibe?
I dunno, in my head it looks cool.
I don't know how spicy of a take this is, but I think Samurott should get a water-fighting (to keep the Samuri theme) or a water-ghost replacement (to go into the fact Dewott looks like a ninja)
I prefer sceptile, and the split evolution for brionne looks like it could still evolve, but I love the evolutions for croconaw and raboot, the missed opportunity for the second typings used here were well executed imo.
Honestly I feel like if you were going to do a split...I feel like a split for inceniroar would be best.
I personally adore Inceniroar but I know its a jarring evolution for it to stand. Idk what you would do with a Big tiger but id be interested to see.
I Like how you conceptualize each split evolution👌
the one trend i hate in starters is the hard left turn from the middle stage to final stage, sceptile wasn't as bad about it but it still dropped a lot of thing from grovyle that were working well (also i was charmed by mystery dungeon grovyle).
primarina i was always confused at the backlash, yeah standard starter gender ratios but they were already going in a mermaid performer back at brionne (subtler but still). you'd think they'd never seen a male dancer or acrobat with how much of a tantrum they threw...
Cinderace is my favourite Pokémon, and i think Emberush is sick. I would train one on a playthrough team for sure
Love these designs and would love to see a sequel
Love Crocolith, would be sweet if we got something like that for the hopefully evetual Legends Kyurem, rock typing obviously brings fossil pokemon to mind
I hope you do a part two.. Would love to see an alternate unfurry quadrapedal Incineroar, Meowskarada, Inteleon
These are all awesome and have a different path for people to chose as an evolution, love your work!
00:35 click here to start the video
I love Crocolith, it’s like a combination of Feraligatr and Ursaluna!
Idea!
Charmander is based on the fact that salamanders are associated with fire, but it ends up turning into a dragon? Maybe a deep red salamander low to the ground could remedy this
All of these were better than the actual forms. Feraligatr always had a badass design and you managed to make him cooler
I would love to see a sleek and fast Torracat evolution! 🔥🐈⬛
Prefer Sceptile to your fakemon but the rest are amazing. Crocolith is probably my favourite
All of these are amazing!! For a new dartrix evolution, maybe one that actually stays grass/flying type? Not the most interesting idea, but I'm curious as to how you would design it. Amazing work as always!
