Save ahead, release it, place in sleep mode and do other stuff, if it comes back the next day, go ahead and save again. If not, call your friend a filthy liar and reset to recover your shiny 😂
I feel like the alternate version shouldn't have a phantom arm at all; it's perfectly happy without it and never develops the desire for a fourth arm/leg.
I agree, though I think it would be better if the shield wasn't treated as a replacement arm to respect its contentment with its body and instead have multiple psychic shields floating around the mon
it seems like pokemon took inspiration from moxies fakemon, the new vertion excusive pokemon in scarlet and violet, with phantom armor and normal armor
Yeah, I think the other evolution could be a fairy type due to not being bullied and being supported which made it a happy pokemon. Something like the white cat from the aristocats with pink and all.
I love how “subversion/inversion” was a surprise underlying theme in all these fakemons! The pure little okapi becomes reckless to the point it needs restraining, the slightly-unusual-but-mostly-unassuming rabbit turns into a flying embodiment of “WTF IS THAT?!”, the body positive little kitty becomes dark & so done with life, and the skunk *Literally Flips!* Brilliant! xD
I NEED a positive evolution for Zera for closure. I just want to see this adorable fox/cat live a happy life where those around it give it the love and respect it deserves.
Thinking about designing a positive evo...Maybe like, same phantom limb concept, but it can sprout a new number of extra limbs depending on the number of 'mons in your party (its friends)? And with lighter happier colors :3
Combining ideas from all the above comments: Evolves with friendship into a one-armed Nekokira (from part 1), with a color scheme resembling Alolan Ninetales (white with blue highlights), whose strength increases with each party member (from the Nekokira “Power of Friendship” ability).
@@UGNAvalon what if max friendship and a metal coat, I mean m, just imagine, you get a 3 legged animal, and you give them a prosthetic leg. (Metal coat), it could be a fairy steel type. The metal leg could be embodied into the body, and have a steel armor. Or to be normal steel, and have an ability to prevent fighting damage.
Moxies design made me fucking tear up, just imagining a kid that has gone thought something terrible and lost a part of themselves now have a Pokémon to relate to, not to much with the evolution, but having a body positive Pokémon is a good mood
Yes! It's unfortunately a really real thing for disabled people to be frowned upon, mocked or thought of differently. Most modern day insults actually stem from clinical terms for disorders/disabilities, so the bias goes deep and I'm just glad knowing that they're being recognized in the first pokemon in such a positive way.
Honestly as a teenager who was mocked a lot (not for body image things, but still relatable situation), I would've loved a Pokémon friend that was like "we're done with these assholes, let's punch them". I know that's not a "healthy" thought per say, but still an epic power fantasy for a kid/teenager.
If this were to be used in the anime it could start with ash encountering this ghost type gym leader and winning, after the battle ash notices that one of the leader's arm is odd and asks about it, gym leader reveals it and tells their backstory. Backstory starts with the gym leader as a young kid who later gets in an accident resulting in losing his arm, gets mocked by some bullies and have a rough life, parents decide to give the kid a zera as a companion. One day, kid's father gets into an accident, continues to gets bullied untill one day during another bullying incident zera runs out of the house to help its human companion and while doing so evolves into zerave, zerave now acts a third parental figure for the kid.
Zerave is literally such a good idea! Totally my favorite and made me feel something, I like the "if it were treated better, it would've evolved differently" like a vindictive antihero that I can really get behind. I love its "I'm so done with this." expression.
I found it really funny that Moxie mentioned taking some inspiration from Zoroark for his 3 legged pokemon because I have a plastic Zoroark toy and one of its arms broke off, so I’d play with it imagining a one armed Zoroark that would sometimes make an illusion to make it look like it still has its arm. I guess you could call it abnormal.

If i had a coin for every time that Artorias was mentioned as a inspiration in this series I would have two coins, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
Dang, I actually got emotional with Zera's concept, design, and description. Kudos, Moxie. Also, love seeing Brazilian folklore being referenced. Kudos, UmbreonLibris.
I think it would be cool if Shopeshoo had two different evolutions, like you can go on a side mission kinda deal to get a cure for its affliction, and when it’s cured it immediately evolves, but if it gets to whatever level without getting cured it evolves into Papillope
Skurupira has gotta be one of the best designs for anything I’ve ever seen. The butthole chest plus move pool is pure genius 👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣 Also Zerave’s design philosophy is incredible and I wanna use it 🤣 I NEED a part 3 🤞
I think seeing a third evolution to Ron’s design would be very interesting; perhaps a spit line where in one the angry okapi breaks loose and goes on a rampage; while the other has the exoskelton completely consume the internal okapi. Not sure how to trigger either of these evolutions.
For this one, since this is based on aggression versus passivity, if the Okaperil has an Attack/Special Attack/Speed raising and Defense/Special Defense lowering nature (to suggest it is more inherently aggressive), then the Okaperil will evolve into the aggressive form. If the Okaperil instead has a nature that raises Defense or Special Defense and lowers Attack/Special Attack/Speed will change into the exoskeleton evolution to suggest that because it is not as aggressive, the exoskeleton took over. Naturally, any other nature would leave the Okaperil as-is, which makes sense. It reflects that either the Okaperil and it’s exoskeleton are in exact balance or the exoskeleton can restrain the Okaperil from being too aggressive. This will otherwise be a normal level evolution to suggest the Okaperil and the exoskeleton are starting to get used to each other. A nice level would be level 41 - not too far to suggest extreme difficulty in exoskeleton/Okaperil interaction, but reflects that it will take time to see if the exoskeleton or the Okaperil wins.
The angry okapi would be now Okapressor (okapi + aggressor) and would just be dark type to show that it is just about attacking based on anger and nothing more. The exoskeleton taking over would turn it into Okapsorb (okapi + absorb) and would be normal/ghost, to suggest that it is just the exoskeleton left.
@@iantaakalla8180 I love the concept of a Pokemon's nature affecting it's evolution. Having nature's effect more than just stats and actually effect the way the Pokemon grows would make them become more than just flavor text. Though maybe it should be a three way split evolution so you don't have to deal with the frustration of getting a shiny that doesn't evolve (like male Combee or Salazzel). Its third form would be where the two find balance and it focuses violent craving in a more righteous direction, having its anger target evil (kind of like the Sword's of justice). Okabution (Oka + Retribution) Fariy/Fighting. The main body's thirst for violence is satisfied as is the exoskeleton's desire to avoid harming innocents.
That is a nice way to incorporate a third evolution path, and Okabution sounds like movies Venom and Eddie Brock. A symbiote/Pokémon craving violence who is restrained by a person/exoskeleton making sure the violence is redirected healthily.
I would love to think of it like the fan made "wolf in sheep's clothing" evolution of Wooloo I've seen. Where if Okaperil evolves at, say, 45 or so with 0 friendship it'd evolve into the aggressive form (Gonna go with Okaperish) but if it evolves with max friendship instead it turns into the Exoskeletal form (Thinking Okabind) Of course this is hypothetical I would just like the idea of both sides of friendship lending to the different lines.
Zerave is easily the coolest fakemon I have ever seen. Kudos to all four of you for this sick series and the fantastic artwork that comes from it. I would love to see you guys put together a romhack or something.
I could see the phantom limb pokemon being a split evo for the hero cat from the last video. I know they're not the same type of animal but their similar blue glowing parts made me think that it could be that if accepted for who they are, they are kind and develop their aura as a sword but if treated poorly, they become distant and focus their power on a new arm.
I can definitely see that! Just give Nekokira (the hero cat’s final form) Zera’s color scheme & eyes, maybe adjust the fluff (eg the chest) to more closely resemble Zerave, and then keep the Power of Friendship abilities!
Making Skurupira the color of Skoward’s shiny is genius. The idea that on all fours it just looks like Skoward in a small pack of them and they stand up, afraid, but one just turns to you and rushes you with that spooky face.
Papil, in addition to that virus, also sent me huge butterfly signals. I'm a Type:Null fan, and I love when an already chimeric creature is given a third kind of creature as inspiration to really set it apart. Maybe someday a concept like triple fusion could be used for theme.
@@ananonymousyoutubeuser8769 Not quite! Papillomaviruses (like HPV, human papillomavirus) cause papillary protrusions to form in different areas of the body. Lapin papillomavirus, the virus being represented here, causes horn-like facial papillae. The word "papilla" is from the Latin for nipple, because papillae are biological protrusions that resemble teats. The Latin for butterfly (the root for the French papillon) is actually papilio - one L, not two.
Shopeshoo is SO GOOOOOOD!!! It has sectioned parts, but a single color "conecting" them which makes the design look complex withtou getting cluttered! Really great work! I'm indeed impressed
I was hearing this as a background video. The moment he mentioned Brazil Folclore,without noticing,I was just SUMMONED to watch where he was going. I hope there are more Brazilian fans like me,hugs from Brazil! 💚
Brazilian here, I was so happy when I saw the Curapira being referenced. All of the designs are amazing, but because of bias, I'm going with Skurupira.
Moxie is two for two on cats based on Dark Souls bosses Edit: This series definitely needs more videos Edit 2: For the next challenge, you guys could do ‘Pokémon that evolve with unique methods’
Moxie is nailing it in the concept department (both Episode 1 and 2). Zerave and Zera are among the coolest Fakemon I've seen in a long while. I'm becoming more and more of a Moxie fan as I go through the episodes Just like the previous episodes, y'all did great! This should be a regular content moving forward
I LOVE the design Moxie went for. I feel like Zerave’s phantom arm could be a bit more ghostly, right now it kind of looks just icey to me. It could be cool if it can “turn it on and off”, so that maybe the arm only shows when its fighting or such. I think that would be great.
I could see Zerave and it's counterpart having 'annoying' evolution means. One needing to have it's stats attempted to be lowered multiple times in a battle, and the other having it's stats raised multiple times. Maybe 3 stages each way?
Skoward and Skurupira is my absolute favourite of the whole series. First of all - the concept is just amazing! It's gresh and clever, but not wacky or forced in any way. I can easily imagine an anime episode about it. The only thing - I think Skurupira fits more into Dark/Posion than Posion/Fairy type.
This series is very wholesome and just feel-good. People expressing their honest creativity and the positive criticism, it seems so supportive and interesting. All the designs look superb.
This is honestly the best pokemon series on youtube. The pokemon designs have been kind of lack luster from gamefreak and it's cool to see some good ones for a change.
I feel like if Shopeshoo and Papillope were real pokémon people would definitely hate them just because of how bizarre they look. I feel that they'd get the same critiques and criticisms that the Ultra Beasts got at first, that they look "Too weird" and that they "Don't look like pokémon". That's the most clear, noticeable difference that separates fakémon creators from pokémon creators in my mind. Fakémon creators can and do as clear as day lay bare each and every step of their design processes, inspirations and overall thoughts on each and every one of their individual fakémon for everyone to see from the moment they're created so you understand them basically immediately. Meanwhile on the other end, pokémon creators just kind of... make them... they exist now... think whatever you want about them. Deal with it. I feel like there are SOOOO many real pokémon out there that could be liked or even loved by a lot more people if Game Freak just did that very same thing, explained them. Talk in detail about the design processes behind several of their many different pokémon to paint a picture of how and why they land on the final designs that they do. They could make a short TH-cam series out of it, I'll take anything. There are just too many cool pokémon out there that I don't think get the respect they truly deserve and it's bothered me for a long, long time. I apologize for rambling but other than that these pokémon all look amazing to me! You guys absolutely knocked it out of the park! I love them all! Can't wait for the next one! 👍
people say that as if bizarre and weird pokemon are a bad thing. they're supposed to be monsters, not regular animals. they don't have to have pages of lore and inspiration. they can just be a thing that exists for no reason. that's what makes alien pokemon/ultra beasts so interesting.
@@mezzovii Agreed, I love the Ultra Beasts! I hope we can get more of them someday. If we can still get new Regis after all of this time then I'll always have my hopes!
DUDE I LOVE THESE KEEP THEM COMING! I've never actually paid any money to a poketuber for anything and you're making me consider it with this series. Y'all have such great designs and I hope the Pokemon company is keeping their eyes out for talented people like the ones you're promoting here.
Wow I love these! The okapi and jackalope ones had such cool evolution ideas, and the phantom limb fox is so good!! I would love to see the alternate design omg. Really looking forward to another video! Me and a friend were so inspired by the first one that we started doing our own pokemon+evolution based on prompts. It's been so much fun!
Random idea, but for Zera and Zerave, they could have gender dimorphism where females have the right arm missing and males have the left..? Just a thought.
I adore UmbreonLibris' design so much! He really embraced the odd designs the creators can make! It gives me a new love for when they go wild with the design process 🥰
I would absolutely, without question use Zerave. I've always wanted a Fighting/Ghost, the design is great, the concept is great, it just really resonates with me.
The first episode of this inspired me to make a Fairy type jackalope Pokemon, so it's so cool to see a jackalope with the totally opposite feel in this video!
I think the Zerave line was my favorite from the video, although they were all great designs. Also an update, I've finished most of the fakemon I'm working on & the last one will be done soon. I look forward to posting my submissions starting next Saturday.
These are the first videos of yours I've seen, and I've loved them. I've always been a bit dismissive of fakemon but these videos have made me want to design my own. It's really cool seeing the development process. I personally would love to see you guys do some pseudolegendaries, but I appreciate I'm new to the community and have probably missed them being done a thousand times!
I could imagine Skurupira in the anime, Ash and the gang come across one and ask the pokedex if the mark is it’s butt, and then the Pokédex tells them “No one has ever withstood its full power moon last”.
I love these so much, definitely do a part 3. All of them are great and I love the stories that lead up to the final evolution. I also love how Moxie gets his inspiration, it's so cute how he used a cat and his uncle as his inspiration 💙
This series is my new favorite thing on youtube. Please continue for many many episodes. Diffrent topics/diffrent artist/possibly same topics months appart to see what new things happens. I loved all the art in both this one and the first one.
I love this series, though I do have one suggestion. You could end the videos by revealing whatever the next prompt is, so that people can make their own designs off of it and compare how they interpreted it versus the artists in the video. You could even have a thing where people can send their designs in to you to be featured in a quick slideshow in the video after the artists go over all of their fakemon but before revealing the next prompt, with or without the artists in the video providing brief commentary. This was just an idea that popped into my head, though, and the series is still great regardless.
Never end this series! I love how wholesome and encouraging you are to each other. I love Moxy anyway but I love seeing these new (to me) artists and how amazing you are with each other. 👏🏻👏🏻
Skurupira's design is awesome! Imagine approaching one from what you think is its back because you think it's a shiny, but then it just STANDS UP and starts chasing you. I'd nope the hell out of that one lol
These are so imaginative and cool!! Ron's concept for evolution and the exoskeleton restraining the Pokémon inside is just wonderful. Awesome lore behind the design Papillope is a design akin to Sigilyph where I love it because of how bizarre and otherworld-y it looks. I especially like the claw ears and the eyes Umbreon's skunk mon is so freakin' funny in concept but also pretty menacing with that face in the evolution! I LOVE the shot of it turning around to look at you from behind Moxie's is SO freakin' rad. Like, I am so sad I didn't think of the concept of a phantom limb Pokémon sooner because it's one of the coolest concepts I've seen for a Fakemon Great job everybody!
Loved these! Especially Jack’s, I thought of the Horn virus on rabbits as a design before the video even really started haha! Also, the wing protrusions reminded me of the Wolpertinger, which is basically a Jackalope with wings haha.
These designs are incredible! My fave is Zerave, I love everything about it - the inspiration, story, colours. It makes me think of a more feline Lucario/Zoroark and it’s unique typing is something I’d love to see more of.
Came for Moxie2D, stayed for everyone's amazing designs and concepts behind them! Game Freak needs to start hiring y'all as freelance concept artists, cause holy crap!
Last time you guys did this, Moxie2D made a cute cat Pokémon. So I said that made me realise how unsatisfied I was about official "cat" Pokémon lines. And then they announced Sprigatito. So now I'm gonna say that Zera made me realise how unhappy I am that we haven't had an Eevee evolution in a while.
I loooved all of your designs and concepts! The skunk line was really my favorite and the whole moveset etc was such a nice touch Thank you moxie for the ghost type:) Also zerave would be such a great ash pokemon with its secret form^^
Ok I just had a sick idea…so there’s a series made by someone where it’s their own Pokémon world and this series would actually make like a sick Pokémon game with all these Pokémon, like a world of Pokémon that only have 2 evolutions would be awesome and I would love to see a series of that with the Pokémon that is from this one.
Everyone just keeps getting better and I can't wait to see what comes next. And Moxie may be humble about his "limited" source of inspirations but the execution is what matters and he sure does deliver.
@@zeppie_ ooh now I get it!! When he is looking away: *me nodding my head, looking confused at you while saying the words "who did he even mean??" without sound*
Honestly all of these designs are so good that they make me wish they were real. I can't pick a favourite, they all have great concepts, can't wait for you guys to make more of these, they're so creative and cool!
Shopeshoo seems like a pokemon that very obviously has a variant or had a variant in the past. I wonder what it would normally evolve into if it wasn't infected.
with the alt evolution of Moxie's design, I feel like it would pull more from zoroark with it's hisuian typing, being ghost/normal, and it would be on all 4's (obviously with a missing leg still) and it would just look like a bigger version of the original
as a disabled person and a Huge pokemon fan, I absolutely LOVE Zera and Zerave! I adore them, the designs are kickass, and the lore/inspirations are excellent
honestly love the skunk pokemon. I've been playing a lot of pokemon legends arceus and attempting mass outbreaks you sometimes see the evolved version of the pokemon you're hunting. I can just see a skoward outbreak going on and then all of the sudden seeing a shiny one walking backwards and it'll just look uncanny and mysterious and I'm all for it. Also not previously knowing the evolution's typing you'll just think it's just a normal type only to find out it double resists fighting moves risking your pokemon to be one shot by surprise. Such an cool concept for a pokemon game like legends arceus and I hope gen 9 continues to be this.
Something that I always adore about creation is the inspiration behind each work. The lore behind each piece truly adds such perspective to the world around us. That is evident by how surprised everyone was by each others pieces. Brilliant job.
I vote you turn this into a full fledged series of just drawing pokemon from prompts lol. Even if it turns into a once a month thing I absolutely love this
Your guys excitement to get back together and do more is inspiring! It's great fun to parttake in your guys adventure and playing with prompts and being excited about each others creations.
Imagine getting a shiny Okapure and your friend tells you that you’ve gotta release it and wait a day for it to evolve… would you believe him? 😂
*chuckles* i would ask if one day in game or irl save then release and further actions depend on what friend said

The 4 Pokemon from last video were all heroes, and these 4 look like an awesome set of villains, even if that wasn't exactly the intent
Not at all
so part 3 will be the hero's sidekick and part 4 the villain's right hand ? ;)
I see them more as anti heroes than villains
I still really want to see their villain concepts tho 🤞🏾
Moxie2D is so underrated, I really how he makes his creations from adorable to wicked and do it so seamlessly. His concepts are always A+.

I think seeing a third evolution to Ron’s design would be very interesting; perhaps a spit line where in one the angry okapi breaks loose and goes on a rampage; while the other has the exoskelton completely consume the internal okapi. Not sure how to trigger either of these evolutions.
For this one, since this is based on aggression versus passivity, if the Okaperil has an Attack/Special Attack/Speed raising and Defense/Special Defense lowering nature (to suggest it is more inherently aggressive), then the Okaperil will evolve into the aggressive form.
If the Okaperil instead has a nature that raises Defense or Special Defense and lowers Attack/Special Attack/Speed will change into the exoskeleton evolution to suggest that because it is not as aggressive, the exoskeleton took over.
Naturally, any other nature would leave the Okaperil as-is, which makes sense. It reflects that either the Okaperil and it’s exoskeleton are in exact balance or the exoskeleton can restrain the Okaperil from being too aggressive.
This will otherwise be a normal level evolution to suggest the Okaperil and the exoskeleton are starting to get used to each other. A nice level would be level 41 - not too far to suggest extreme difficulty in exoskeleton/Okaperil interaction, but reflects that it will take time to see if the exoskeleton or the Okaperil wins.
The angry okapi would be now Okapressor (okapi + aggressor) and would just be dark type to show that it is just about attacking based on anger and nothing more.
The exoskeleton taking over would turn it into Okapsorb (okapi + absorb) and would be normal/ghost, to suggest that it is just the exoskeleton left.
@@iantaakalla8180 I love the concept of a Pokemon's nature affecting it's evolution. Having nature's effect more than just stats and actually effect the way the Pokemon grows would make them become more than just flavor text.
Though maybe it should be a three way split evolution so you don't have to deal with the frustration of getting a shiny that doesn't evolve (like male Combee or Salazzel).
Its third form would be where the two find balance and it focuses violent craving in a more righteous direction, having its anger target evil (kind of like the Sword's of justice). Okabution (Oka + Retribution) Fariy/Fighting. The main body's thirst for violence is satisfied as is the exoskeleton's desire to avoid harming innocents.
That is a nice way to incorporate a third evolution path, and Okabution sounds like movies Venom and Eddie Brock. A symbiote/Pokémon craving violence who is restrained by a person/exoskeleton making sure the violence is redirected healthily.
I would love to think of it like the fan made "wolf in sheep's clothing" evolution of Wooloo I've seen. Where if Okaperil evolves at, say, 45 or so with 0 friendship it'd evolve into the aggressive form (Gonna go with Okaperish) but if it evolves with max friendship instead it turns into the Exoskeletal form (Thinking Okabind)
Of course this is hypothetical I would just like the idea of both sides of friendship lending to the different lines.
Zerave is easily the coolest fakemon I have ever seen. Kudos to all four of you for this sick series and the fantastic artwork that comes from it. I would love to see you guys put together a romhack or something.
I could see the phantom limb pokemon being a split evo for the hero cat from the last video.
I know they're not the same type of animal but their similar blue glowing parts made me think that it could be that if accepted for who they are, they are kind and develop their aura as a sword but if treated poorly, they become distant and focus their power on a new arm.
Ooh I love that
I can definitely see that! Just give Nekokira (the hero cat’s final form) Zera’s color scheme & eyes, maybe adjust the fluff (eg the chest) to more closely resemble Zerave, and then keep the Power of Friendship abilities!
Making Skurupira the color of Skoward’s shiny is genius. The idea that on all fours it just looks like Skoward in a small pack of them and they stand up, afraid, but one just turns to you and rushes you with that spooky face.
Papil, in addition to that virus, also sent me huge butterfly signals.
I'm a Type:Null fan, and I love when an already chimeric creature is given a third kind of creature as inspiration to really set it apart. Maybe someday a concept like triple fusion could be used for theme.
Papillon is French for butterfly so maybe the pathogen name is latin for butterfly?
@@ananonymousyoutubeuser8769 Not quite! Papillomaviruses (like HPV, human papillomavirus) cause papillary protrusions to form in different areas of the body. Lapin papillomavirus, the virus being represented here, causes horn-like facial papillae. The word "papilla" is from the Latin for nipple, because papillae are biological protrusions that resemble teats.
The Latin for butterfly (the root for the French papillon) is actually papilio - one L, not two.
What's a butterfly signal?
@@soldierstride554 It's that little voice in your head that says "butterfly". Imagine you just got a "chili dog signal".
@@runningoncylinders3829 The hecks a "chili dog signal"!?? xD
Shopeshoo is SO GOOOOOOD!!! It has sectioned parts, but a single color "conecting" them which makes the design look complex withtou getting cluttered! Really great work! I'm indeed impressed
This is becoming a series and I'm loving it.
Zerave might be one of my favorite fakemons yet. Easily one of the best designs so far. Love it’s eyes and the tail and it’s fluffy neck!
Moxie just nailed it
"Zerave" just looks so awesome and you all missed the signature move
Phantom slash which is just awesome for Zerave
I was hearing this as a background video.
The moment he mentioned Brazil Folclore,without noticing,I was just SUMMONED to watch where he was going.
I hope there are more Brazilian fans like me,hugs from Brazil! 💚
Brazilian here, I was so happy when I saw the Curapira being referenced. All of the designs are amazing, but because of bias, I'm going with Skurupira.
Is this a motherfocker Brasil reference?? I'm in!
Indeed
curupira realmente é muito legal
Representô
The skunk one was my favorite by far- and i love watching videos like these! Please do more!
Moxie is two for two on cats based on Dark Souls bosses
Edit: This series definitely needs more videos
Edit 2: For the next challenge, you guys could do ‘Pokémon that evolve with unique methods’
Moxie is nailing it in the concept department (both Episode 1 and 2). Zerave and Zera are among the coolest Fakemon I've seen in a long while. I'm becoming more and more of a Moxie fan as I go through the episodes
Just like the previous episodes, y'all did great! This should be a regular content moving forward
I really hope this continues as a series.
That Zerave evolution line is so cool thematically; I want one!
I LOVE the design Moxie went for. I feel like Zerave’s phantom arm could be a bit more ghostly, right now it kind of looks just icey to me. It could be cool if it can “turn it on and off”, so that maybe the arm only shows when its fighting or such. I think that would be great.
I could see Zerave and it's counterpart having 'annoying' evolution means. One needing to have it's stats attempted to be lowered multiple times in a battle, and the other having it's stats raised multiple times. Maybe 3 stages each way?
That would get tough to make happen
You could get a Zerave early if you know of an early-game Pokémon that like to spam stat-lowering moves or something.
@@iantaakalla8180 Early route bug with string shot XD
Skoward and Skurupira is my absolute favourite of the whole series.
First of all - the concept is just amazing! It's gresh and clever, but not wacky or forced in any way. I can easily imagine an anime episode about it.
The only thing - I think Skurupira fits more into Dark/Posion than Posion/Fairy type.
This series is very wholesome and just feel-good. People expressing their honest creativity and the positive criticism, it seems so supportive and interesting. All the designs look superb.
This is honestly the best pokemon series on youtube. The pokemon designs have been kind of lack luster from gamefreak and it's cool to see some good ones for a change.
I feel like if Shopeshoo and Papillope were real pokémon people would definitely hate them just because of how bizarre they look. I feel that they'd get the same critiques and criticisms that the Ultra Beasts got at first, that they look "Too weird" and that they "Don't look like pokémon". That's the most clear, noticeable difference that separates fakémon creators from pokémon creators in my mind.
Fakémon creators can and do as clear as day lay bare each and every step of their design processes, inspirations and overall thoughts on each and every one of their individual fakémon for everyone to see from the moment they're created so you understand them basically immediately. Meanwhile on the other end, pokémon creators just kind of... make them... they exist now... think whatever you want about them. Deal with it.
I feel like there are SOOOO many real pokémon out there that could be liked or even loved by a lot more people if Game Freak just did that very same thing, explained them. Talk in detail about the design processes behind several of their many different pokémon to paint a picture of how and why they land on the final designs that they do. They could make a short TH-cam series out of it, I'll take anything. There are just too many cool pokémon out there that I don't think get the respect they truly deserve and it's bothered me for a long, long time.
I apologize for rambling but other than that these pokémon all look amazing to me! You guys absolutely knocked it out of the park! I love them all! Can't wait for the next one! 👍
people say that as if bizarre and weird pokemon are a bad thing. they're supposed to be monsters, not regular animals. they don't have to have pages of lore and inspiration. they can just be a thing that exists for no reason. that's what makes alien pokemon/ultra beasts so interesting.
@@mezzovii Agreed, I love the Ultra Beasts! I hope we can get more of them someday. If we can still get new Regis after all of this time then I'll always have my hopes!
exactly. very well said. every pokemon designed explained will be more interesting and most of us will gravitate to them even more
I really like shopeshoo. Papillope is eh. I'd prefer a simpler but effective design like rabbit with spiked helmet, with maybe bigger-than-body feet.
I fucking love skurupira honestly, my boi
DUDE I LOVE THESE KEEP THEM COMING! I've never actually paid any money to a poketuber for anything and you're making me consider it with this series. Y'all have such great designs and I hope the Pokemon company is keeping their eyes out for talented people like the ones you're promoting here.
Never clicked on a video faster, the first video of this series was the one that inspired me to design my very first Fakemon!!
Same!!!
Wow I love these! The okapi and jackalope ones had such cool evolution ideas, and the phantom limb fox is so good!! I would love to see the alternate design omg.
Really looking forward to another video! Me and a friend were so inspired by the first one that we started doing our own pokemon+evolution based on prompts. It's been so much fun!
This is so cool. You and Jack are already powerhouses of the fakemon scene. And the other guests are phenomenal as well. Loving it
I love how cute subjectively Pokemon is and how it turns into a beast
Random idea, but for Zera and Zerave, they could have gender dimorphism where females have the right arm missing and males have the left..? Just a thought.
God I love Moxie's designs... like all of these are interesting or cool but Moxie is giving me things I find aesthetically pleasing.
and also cats
I adore UmbreonLibris' design so much! He really embraced the odd designs the creators can make! It gives me a new love for when they go wild with the design process 🥰
I would absolutely, without question use Zerave. I've always wanted a Fighting/Ghost, the design is great, the concept is great, it just really resonates with me.
I’m a sucker for foxes in fiction, it’s rare that creators make a dud Fox character. I love it on principle but it’s also just so well made
fighting-ghost? did you forget marshadow?
@@surge0509 No, I just don't use legendaries.
@@surge0509 Marshadow is event exclusive
We now have Annihilape now
The first episode of this inspired me to make a Fairy type jackalope Pokemon, so it's so cool to see a jackalope with the totally opposite feel in this video!
I literally cried when I read the ability of Zera. So beautiful. Awesome job
I think the Zerave line was my favorite from the video, although they were all great designs.
Also an update, I've finished most of the fakemon I'm working on & the last one will be done soon. I look forward to posting my submissions starting next Saturday.
These are the first videos of yours I've seen, and I've loved them. I've always been a bit dismissive of fakemon but these videos have made me want to design my own. It's really cool seeing the development process. I personally would love to see you guys do some pseudolegendaries, but I appreciate I'm new to the community and have probably missed them being done a thousand times!
I could imagine Skurupira in the anime, Ash and the gang come across one and ask the pokedex if the mark is it’s butt, and then the Pokédex tells them “No one has ever withstood its full power moon last”.
I love these so much, definitely do a part 3. All of them are great and I love the stories that lead up to the final evolution. I also love how Moxie gets his inspiration, it's so cute how he used a cat and his uncle as his inspiration 💙
This is now my favourite series on your channel.
This series is my new favorite thing on youtube. Please continue for many many episodes. Diffrent topics/diffrent artist/possibly same topics months appart to see what new things happens. I loved all the art in both this one and the first one.
I love this series, though I do have one suggestion. You could end the videos by revealing whatever the next prompt is, so that people can make their own designs off of it and compare how they interpreted it versus the artists in the video. You could even have a thing where people can send their designs in to you to be featured in a quick slideshow in the video after the artists go over all of their fakemon but before revealing the next prompt, with or without the artists in the video providing brief commentary.
This was just an idea that popped into my head, though, and the series is still great regardless.
Never end this series! I love how wholesome and encouraging you are to each other. I love Moxy anyway but I love seeing these new (to me) artists and how amazing you are with each other. 👏🏻👏🏻
Skurupira's design is awesome! Imagine approaching one from what you think is its back because you think it's a shiny, but then it just STANDS UP and starts chasing you. I'd nope the hell out of that one lol
These are so imaginative and cool!!
Ron's concept for evolution and the exoskeleton restraining the Pokémon inside is just wonderful. Awesome lore behind the design
Papillope is a design akin to Sigilyph where I love it because of how bizarre and otherworld-y it looks. I especially like the claw ears and the eyes
Umbreon's skunk mon is so freakin' funny in concept but also pretty menacing with that face in the evolution! I LOVE the shot of it turning around to look at you from behind
Moxie's is SO freakin' rad. Like, I am so sad I didn't think of the concept of a phantom limb Pokémon sooner because it's one of the coolest concepts I've seen for a Fakemon
Great job everybody!
I'd love to see Zeraves counterpart in the next episode.
Maybe if you hatched a Zera from an egg and raised it with high friendship, there could be a split evolution. I think the idea of that is super cool!
Legitimately the best pokemon art content on the internet!
As soon as I heard moxie reference the "phantom limb", I was like "Wait. This is gonna be a Ghost type, isn't it?"
Loved these! Especially Jack’s, I thought of the Horn virus on rabbits as a design before the video even really started haha! Also, the wing protrusions reminded me of the Wolpertinger, which is basically a Jackalope with wings haha.
These designs are incredible! My fave is Zerave, I love everything about it - the inspiration, story, colours. It makes me think of a more feline Lucario/Zoroark and it’s unique typing is something I’d love to see more of.
I absolutely loved the skurupira. I had a children’s book of folktales growing up in Brazil and the one that skurupira is based on was on there.
Came for Moxie2D, stayed for everyone's amazing designs and concepts behind them! Game Freak needs to start hiring y'all as freelance concept artists, cause holy crap!
Last time you guys did this, Moxie2D made a cute cat Pokémon.
So I said that made me realise how unsatisfied I was about official "cat" Pokémon lines.
And then they announced Sprigatito.
So now I'm gonna say that Zera made me realise how unhappy I am that we haven't had an Eevee evolution in a while.
Yup
These designs are so cool!! Skoward and Skurupira are my favs!
I loooved all of your designs and concepts!
The skunk line was really my favorite and the whole moveset etc was such a nice touch
Thank you moxie for the ghost type:)
Also zerave would be such a great ash pokemon with its secret form^^
Ok I just had a sick idea…so there’s a series made by someone where it’s their own Pokémon world and this series would actually make like a sick Pokémon game with all these Pokémon, like a world of Pokémon that only have 2 evolutions would be awesome and I would love to see a series of that with the Pokémon that is from this one.
I would love if Jack made a pokemon out of all of his silhouettes, they all just look so cool
3:26 I had a pretty similar reaction seeing Sigilyph for the first time back when I played BW as a kid. The thing looked divine, I tell ya.
Everyone just keeps getting better and I can't wait to see what comes next. And Moxie may be humble about his "limited" source of inspirations but the execution is what matters and he sure does deliver.
This series needs to continue is soooooo awesome and detailed
I really like his Pokémon. He should make more dragon types.
His? Who of the Four lol
You're bring so vague no one knows who you're talking about.
@@jannomeeuwessen4886 you know, his! *gestures vaguely towards the video*
@@zeppie_ ooh now I get it!!
When he is looking away: *me nodding my head, looking confused at you while saying the words "who did he even mean??" without sound*
Um which one of the guys are you talking about?
Wow all these pokemon were absolutely amazing. I think I ended up liking Zera and Zerave the most.
Please never stop doing these
Need more of this series, please!! Amazing designs, amazing artists!
Honestly all of these designs are so good that they make me wish they were real. I can't pick a favourite, they all have great concepts, can't wait for you guys to make more of these, they're so creative and cool!
you guys are really inspiring me to get better at character design. Absolutely amazed
Shopeshoo seems like a pokemon that very obviously has a variant or had a variant in the past. I wonder what it would normally evolve into if it wasn't infected.
These pokemon designs are so cuuuuutteee
with the alt evolution of Moxie's design, I feel like it would pull more from zoroark with it's hisuian typing, being ghost/normal, and it would be on all 4's (obviously with a missing leg still) and it would just look like a bigger version of the original
as a disabled person and a Huge pokemon fan, I absolutely LOVE Zera and Zerave! I adore them, the designs are kickass, and the lore/inspirations are excellent
i love okapure
Moxie is a beast! Loved his last one and this one.
I love when Pokémon go in crazy directions when they evolve.
honestly love the skunk pokemon. I've been playing a lot of pokemon legends arceus and attempting mass outbreaks you sometimes see the evolved version of the pokemon you're hunting. I can just see a skoward outbreak going on and then all of the sudden seeing a shiny one walking backwards and it'll just look uncanny and mysterious and I'm all for it. Also not previously knowing the evolution's typing you'll just think it's just a normal type only to find out it double resists fighting moves risking your pokemon to be one shot by surprise. Such an cool concept for a pokemon game like legends arceus and I hope gen 9 continues to be this.
Something that I always adore about creation is the inspiration behind each work. The lore behind each piece truly adds such perspective to the world around us. That is evident by how surprised everyone was by each others pieces. Brilliant job.
Please never stop making these!! They are so well though about with so much detail.
These designs are awesome! Well done to all involved! And so happy to see UmbreonLibris getting the recognition his channel really deserves! 👍
I vote you turn this into a full fledged series of just drawing pokemon from prompts lol. Even if it turns into a once a month thing I absolutely love this
Man moxie always brings the amazing desings, others are great too, but moxie just blows it out of the park
Your guys excitement to get back together and do more is inspiring! It's great fun to parttake in your guys adventure and playing with prompts and being excited about each others creations.
