Also Mega Hisuian Samurott standing up references back to how Oshawott and Dewott were bipedal which I kinda like ngl. The line going from bipedal to quadrupedal has only ever happened one other time for starters, being Skeledirge's line. Its been a trend for the opposite to occur in recent generations, mainly with Fire starters. On that note, the physique is giving me Incineroar vibes a little bit for some reason.
Samurott can be bipedal. Samurott has always been able to stand up and draw both of its blades. It stands on all 4s for mobility. The only reason we dont see it stand up in games is cuz gamefreak is too lazy to give it a proper animation. Hell they didnt even bother giving it the sword slash animation in SV...
7:43 Top surgery scars?? Nah, they're just tattoo-like markings, but also I headcanon that Mega Samurott is seen as a Blajah counterpart in the Pokemon world
Hey Brandon! This is kinda silly but you being so open about being a demi-guy and just dropping it in your videos and not caring how people take it has been so inspring for me as a trans demi-guy. So thank you ❤❤
I kinda think it'd be fun if the regional forms AND the regular forms got megas at the same time, like imagine the marketing and stuff they could do with like mega alolan decidueye and mega hisuian decidueye. And it's more pokemon to mess around with, team building wise
Mega Alolan Exeggutor is so good. Still goofy like the original but also pretty cool with its Hydra inspiration. And those stats go crazy especially with essentially three STABs. Love it.
When I first saw the trailer for A-Z, the first thing I thought of was a mega for Galarian Slowbro! I also did a mega for Hisuian Electode. Great video!
So curious to see a mega evolution to Obstagoon as well as those regional fakes (Clodsire, Toadscruel, Wigglet). And Megas for the the Paradox pokemon would be so interesting.
Idk if the reference was intentional, but the Finnish word for the northern lights roughly translates to “fox-fires” as there was a belief that auroras were formed by a mythical fox whipping crystals into the sky with its flaming tail! Just thought it was cool that the nine tails kind of follows that myth!
That Mega Alolan Raichu just might be THE cutest fakemon design I've ever seen, and the concept is so good. What a perfect inspiration for a Mega Evolution that's big and friendly, while still fitting of how powerful Megas are!
I’m kind of surprised mega Alolan Raichu’s tail isn’t based off like Kirby’s star. Also “that’s some *literal* brain rot right there!” With the tone of voice and goofy cartoon character made me laugh lol.
Just a small note about Hisuian Samurott (and the other Hisuian starters), while you’re right in that Samurott doesn’t have a connection to Ainu gods, sea otters play a big role in Ainu mythology and folklore. There are two stories that I know of that feature an otter. The Kutune Shirka is possibly the most important piece of Ainu literature, telling the story of a hero wielding a magic sword seeking out a golden sea otter that is said to glint like a sword. The otter had a bounty on its head, and many treasures were promised to whoever was able to catch it. The second story is of the Ainu creator god having important business in the heavens and telling a nearby otter to relay crucial information to another deity he would send in his place temporarily. The otter would forget to do this, leading to humans being created as imperfect beings. The otter was then punished with lifelong forgetfulness, and it was said eating an otter’s head would make the consumer just as forgetful. The Kutune Shirka involving a sword and an otter fits well with Samurott, while you could say that mankind’s imperfections include the dark things people are capable of, and thus the Dark-type. Though Dark also just lines up with how the actual samurai treated the Ainu. All the Hisuian starters have something to do with two major parties most effected by the Meiji Restoration: the shogunate, which was disestablished (maybe that’s why Decidueye and Samurott are MASTERLESS samurai), and the Ainu, who were forcefully integrated into Japan (hence the connections to Ainu religion). Hisuian Typhlosion might raise an eyebrow on the samurai aspect, but it’s just more subtle. Its Japanese name is Bakphoon, combining bakufu (an explosive blast) and typhoon. But bakufu is also the term for “shogunate,” just using different characters. Its Fire/Ghost-typing not only references Kamuy-Huci like mentioned in another video, but it also leans more into the mujina, a badger yokai that is capable of creating ghostly will-o-wisps and transforming into either a Buddhist monk (hence the magatama beads around H-Typhlosion’s neck) or a tax collecting government official (aka a high-ranking samurai). So, yeah, all three Hisui starters are samurai + Ainu. Just takes some digging to uncover some of that information :)
I saw them more as connected to just general groups in Japan as a whole, ronin/samurai, shogun/daimyo, and onmyoji. It felt kind of obvious to me that that was their main inspirations
I don’t remember where I saw this but I remember hearing somebody say that the starters for Legends Arceus were jumbled because of the fact it was released so close to bdsp and you wouldn’t want to use the same starter so soon again, meaning that because we haven’t been to Kalos in so long there’s a very real chance that we just get to pick a Kalos starter
Video suggestion: creating fakemon suggested by viewers. I have: Themiseru, the theatre pokemon, its design would be a theatre mask wearing fairy/ fire or type.
Pokémon fans when mega evolution wasn’t in paldea: “we want Mega evolutions back…” Nintendo: *re-adds mega evolution in Z-A* Literally everyone: *OOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
Knowing that one of my favorite youtubers is a demiboy like me is so cool!! I almost never see other demiboys. Also, these pokemon forms are so cool!! I would totally believe these were real.
1:56 I don’t think you know how mega evolutions work. But it’s quite simple really, all you have to do is add 100 stat points to the Pokémon’s stat. (I don’t blame you for not knowing because I didn’t even know myself a couple of minutes ago 😅)
a few days ago i made azulian shellder and cloyster which looks like the slowbro one, then i made a mega evolution for it even though cloyster dosent have one. then i saw this video and was like, "holy cow, did they copy me," (edit: if ya wanna know what it looked like, it was azulian cloyster swallowing slowbro)
Up till I watched this video I always interpreted Galarian Darmanitan’s moustache and beard as ridiculously large lips, and I kinda hated it for it omg
What if there was a joint mega? Like if both Unovan and Galarian Darmanatan into Mega Darmanitan. That way you choose if you wanted your Mega to focus on the Fire or Ice type with their differing movepools
So disappointed to not see hisuian Lilligant here as some cool concepts could be done with her like having vines come out of her back to resemble the wings that an Samba (Brazilian Dancer) has and also have vines come from the little flower on her head! Making it resemble the head pieces that Sambas have!

Wtf is a demiguy?

Gotta love the decidueye on thw thumbnail.
Picked the best regional

great concepts as always, but also I do think the hydra from Disneys Hercules was more intense than you gave it credit for.
7:44
Brandon is ridiculous and funny, he makes me laugh.
4:23 THAT EXISTS
5:51 MONKMANITAN CONFIRMED
Also, it’s like Kirby’s warp star
Okay now do this with convergent evo's (I didn't mean to say this in a rude way that was not intentional)
Pokémon fans when mega evolution wasn’t in paldea: “we want Mega evolutions back…”
Nintendo: *re-adds mega evolution in Z-A*
Literally everyone: *OOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
1:19 missed oppertunity to put the derpy head as one of the main heads, and have one of the main heads be embarrassed that its now the tail
I liked his old cartoon tyle
Knowing that one of my favorite youtubers is a demiboy like me is so cool!! I almost never see other demiboys. Also, these pokemon forms are so cool!! I would totally believe these were real.
Have you ever done a video around the concept decidueye of every type?
6:47 ....Stolas, is that you ? 🦉

It didn't think it was possible but you actually made Alolan Executor look super badass!!!!
Oh wow... You went HARD. Just all the love for M.Exegguttor, M.A.Ninetales, M.G.Darmanitan, M.H.Decidueye and M.H.Samurott!
I’ve noticed you went back to the old thumbnail formula 👀👀
Yay original thumbnails are back!
1:56 I don’t think you know how mega evolutions work. But it’s quite simple really, all you have to do is add 100 stat points to the Pokémon’s stat. (I don’t blame you for not knowing because I didn’t even know myself a couple of minutes ago 😅)

Just a heads up the hydra picture At 0:50 is ai
LET'S GO I love this concept
Up till I watched this video I always interpreted Galarian Darmanitan’s moustache and beard as ridiculously large lips, and I kinda hated it for it omg
bro wake up the new pragmajik video is out!
What if there was a joint mega? Like if both Unovan and Galarian Darmanatan into Mega Darmanitan. That way you choose if you wanted your Mega to focus on the Fire or Ice type with their differing movepools
I honestly think you should do a urshifu or arcanine of every type
I named my female alolan raichu Poka
Mega alolan exeggutor awesome
the first thing that came to my mind is that mega alolan ninetails looked like hawaïenne snow ice cream
Me looking at Mega Raichu- “Look what they did to my boy!!!” 😢
YEAAAH OLD THUMBNAILS!!!
LESS EFFORT IN THE THUMBNAIL= *FASTER* VIDEOS!!!
Love your video..♥️ We are waiting for the devarh region pls
Idk Brandon the Hercules hydra was nightmare fuel my whole childhood
For some reason mega samurott gave me Odin from avengers assemble. All the hair gave me just Odin vibes. I love it tho
What do you think pokemon would look like when they're between forms like fire/fairy rapidash
We all know that in reality, they are just gonna give charizard another 2 megas
Where is the galarian mr mimi and mr rime???

Are you still doing the Devar region?
Am I the only one who would like to see knew far fetched variants, we have two and a corneran variant.
I'm not completely sure, but I remember that mega evolution hurts the Pokémon. I still love the designs, I just wanted to pointed out.
Bro where is the Devar region
Why nobody IS talking about the possibility that there will 2 starter to choose first the legend starter then the kalos starter with now a mega.
Can u please make a regional stunfisk that is naan for your region
Can you do alolan muk in the next one?
Wasnt there a normal samurot Mega that looks a little too simular to the Hysuian one?
Hey continue devahar region
That mega Alolan Raichu is cute.
Mega Alolan Raichu, with Alola being based on Hawaii, made me think of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole waaaaaaay before Budai, not gonna lie.
