We should get an Electric-Rock Pika clone that's also a fossil mon that's the canonical ancestor of all Pika clones. Most of the mammals during the dinosaur times looked like rodents anyway. Also, I would definitely scream-sing with Chippu.
Paradox form called "Rolling Thunder". It's a huge pikachu with super fluffy fur puffed up from electricity that rolls around in a huge fluffy ball of electric destruction.
Agreed, at least on it looking awesome, but the concept of having a Pokemon's eyes react to the type of damage they're dealing/receiving is Nintendo AF.
I think it's interesting to note that for Pikachu evolving into Raichu in the generation it was released in then getting a pre evolution the next generation Marill evolving into Azumarill in the generation it was released in then getting a pre evolution the next generation as well The weirdest part about this is that Azurill is the only Pokemon that has connections to the previous two generations where as the rest of the Pokedex for gen3 are all brand new Pokemon evolutionary lines Sure there's no official source but it's such an interesting topic that no one really talks about...
There was also Wynatt. It’s evolution was introduced in Gen 2. I forgot how to spell it, but it’s pretty infamous from the Anime, being owned by Jessie after she accidentally traded her Lickitung for it. Gen 3 also introduced the Incense items. Prior to Gen 9, they were used to breed to get Pokémon that in prior Gens didn’t exist. The concept was greatly expanded in Gen 4. Wynatt, Azurill, Mime Jr, Happiny, Budew and Munchlax are I believe the Pokémon that were produced from Incense.
Yeah, I think gen 3 is pretty unusual in that it doesn't add any new forms to any gen 1 pokémon, which I think is something it only shares with gen 5, which is unique in not adding new forms to any previous pokémon whatsoever. It's also the only gen that only adds baby forms to the gen right before it.
Have you considered making Chippu much more chipmunk-y? Chipmunks have stripes down their backs that make a perfect place to implement the wave patterns. You could even have different forms for each different wave pattern. Also, if you depict Chippu with full cheeks, that would make for a nice nod to the Pikaclone cheeks without it giving off a "bootleg" vibe. If you think about the silhouette of a chipmunk and a squirrel, they are in fact *very* different. I think it'd be cool to see a design where you capitalize more on that.
I know not everyone might like the Pikaclones every gen- but personally really love them! It’s also ways cool to see what they come up with! And I especially love your design :D
I do like your final design, but heck. I LOVE your first design of Chippu! It's so adorable and I love the concept of using the tinted glasses for showing chiptune waves. >w< I dunno why you weren't really satisfied with it tbh, my absolute favorite of the designs. It'd be really cool if you did reference it in your final product.
I love that they're genetically all related, and emolga is just... my favorite little guy. I love sugar gliders/flying squirrels, and just adore the shape they chose the the ears and tail! And the fact that the anime made it a pocket sized diva who clashes with the smuggest of leaves is hilarious
Not going to lie, the first chippu was the best imo. You might have been too critical on yourself and scared if people would find it weird with your leaning in on the waveform concept.
chippu is so cute and puts a twist on pikachu clones, mostly pikachu clones and chonky but you made yours more like a slim body, and it kinda looks like a super hero
8:27 there's actually a kinda similar idea in biology called: deep sea gigantism! theres a popular video going around describing how it works, and affects animals like giant squid :D
This came out amazing! I really loved the progression you shared of your "pikaclone." While it may no longer be a traditional pikaclone in pokemon standards, the final product is best for your game concept. It's a silly lil guy :D
This was super engaging with the evolution of Chippu! Really fun video! I love all Pikaclones they're awsome, also I HAVE to say I adore the original Chippu SO much the goggles with the waveform patterns are just SO delightful!!
I enjoyed both the video's history on pikachu clones and that inspiring message! As a fellow artist, you're absolutely right in that not all designs are done in one go and those who inspire our creative goals pushes us to get an awesome result we'd never see coming! I'm definitely watching more of your vids! ☺️
Thanks for the thump on the head. I've been overthinking a textile design I've been working on and this video gave me a spark. It is a great day when Pokemon content gives life lessons. I responded the most to your little guy with the sunglasses that sort of resembled Raltz. Your final design was equally awesome. Good job on getting that sorted out.
great video, very entertaining commentary and I really liked the discussion of your design development over time. guess we CAN learn a lot from some little electric rodents...
Honestly, the thing that would help your designs stand out and have them all feel less indistinguishable in relationship to each other would to really lean hard into understanding shape language and pleasing, balanced proportions. Pokemon excels at it this, but I see alot of offbrand creature dexes not really picking up on that. That said, love your video and I wish you the best in your pursuits.
Fun Pikachu trivia: despite being categorized as the "electric mouse Pokemon", Pikachu was named after the Pika, which is taxonomically more closely related to rabbits and hares than mice
Hey, I just got this video reccomended and I loved it! I liked how you explained the pikaclone and the bits op science facts sprinkled over the video. ❤
The term pikablu came from an art piece called "Pikachu and friends" where some kind of water-type Pikachu with a tail similar to vaporeon's could be seen next to a pikachu
@@BeeBwakka 100% facts, it was definitely just Marill. We hadn’t seen it yet, and much like how we do now, we were quick on the draw to make theories and run with them.
Super cool to see the whole design process come along and all the different iterations come to life. These days there is so much fear in online artists of showing their process/failures/etc and everyone just wants to show a highly curated body of 'finished' looking art on their socials (no hate to people who do this ofc). I just love seeing artists have the confidence to show the stages that brought them to the end product, and not just the last version. Very cool video 👍
Gigantimax pikachu could he an extreme example of gigantism, where a mutation causes a creature to be extra large, and often causes different proportions such as being rounded or more muscular
Honestly I prefer the very first Chippu design with the wave glasses. I feel like turning the glasses into its eyes and adding other nerdy features would make it even cuter in a dorky way
I can say that your last design for Chippu is for me the best, it actually clicks as its own thing for me instead of a reference, so to me you accomplished that mission.
kinda liked the first of you sound rats. i would go bigger on the ears and have them curve together over the eyes instead of the glasses so it would have a giant visor looping in front of it's face. kinda give it a disc jockey look.
Haven't finished the video but I wanna say something for 7:01 While I do agree with how you're sayign Mimikyu isn't a pikaclone, I don't think a pokemon *has* to share the Electric type with Pikachu to be a pikaclone. Honestly I'd still say Marill makes a good pikaclone even if it wasn't intentional. Also I would not count Pichu or Alolan Raichu as Pikaclones for one important reason. *They are just literally Pikachu*. One evolves into Pikachu, and one evolves from Pikachu. They just *are* Pikachu.
Ok, I'll just say it. When I first saw your videos, I was skeptical. I just saved it to watch later and decided to move on. Then, I just decided to watch. My man, you have impressed me. You make very informative videos, and make it very fun. Dare I admit, your voice is super cute, and I can't help but smile. And I thought I could watch your STEM Pokémon videos, so it might be fun. Just gonna say, you rule boss. Keep being the absolute weapon you are, and don't give up on your project!
Seeing you talk through your struggles with coming up with designs and bringing them together is really inspiring. I have a region project myself, and sometimes it feels like things just aren't moving along with it, so it's very relieving to hear this kind of stuff coming from someone like you.
This was such a fun video! I really enjoyed it. The first iteration reminds me of like. A magical girl sidekick? Or like a cute vtuber concept! I think first Chippu and end pass Chippu are best friends and dj together on the weekends ~
Really enjoying your videos! As you go forward, try not to feel pressured to stick to “Pokémon formula”! It’s your project, you can do whatever you want!! And even within pokemon, oftentimes my favorite official things or fan games are things that look at things in new ways, or have a new perspective on things
I'm a little surprised at not sticking with Chippu's first design - that one is easily the best one imo. Love the concept, although its eyes are hardly visible because of the sound wave depictions. I would have put the holographic sound wave onto its stomach, resembling a bit how the old Tamagotchi devices looked. Those toys also beeped with chiptune style sound effects, making it seem ideal.
I really liked the penultimate version of Chippu, although the last one is also nice. I wonder if the tiny chipmunk would have a signature move that depending on harmonics (shape?) being played by the BGM when the move was selected would have different power and/or effects, kind of like a rhythm game version of Nature Power. Or perhaps that'd be fun as a regular Sound move rather than a gimmick signature move. Regardless, best of luck with the project!
In my opinion, I really like the first shown design of chippu. I like the colour palette, the silhouette, and the dynamic aspect with the glasses. I feel like for the current chippu I'd like to see the tail be dynamic similar to the glasses.
I like your Pikaclone idea. My favorite designs you used for Chippu were the first, which diverged from the usual color scheme and made it more unique, and the fifth. My idea for a Pikaclone is a lizard(or lizard-like dragon) that uses camouflage to mimic the appearance of a rodent-like, mammalian Pokémon for the purpose of deceiving not only other rodent-like Pokémon, but also Pokémon that would normally prey upon them, such as birds and snakes. It would also be somewhat of a reference to the killer rabbit from Monty Python. It would have either head flaps or horns meant to resemble the ears and a tail to either resemble those of other Pikaclones or one that could curl up while camouflaging & hunting. Initially, it would have two front teeth like Rattata to lower one's guard, only to reveal that the other teeth in its mouth are canine teeth. This Pikaclone would also have retractable claws like cats. It would evolve into a more dragon-like lizard. Either the whole line or just the evolved form would be an Electric/Dragon type. I have yet to figure out the names for both the Pokémon and the signature move, which would be an Electric-type signature move that resembles Dragon Rush. It's meant to be a reference to a scene from a battle between Ash & Pikachu versus Sabrina & Kadabra. Pikachu used Thunderbolt(or some other Electric attack), only for Kadabra to counter with Confusion(or Psychic), causing the attack to chase and strike Pikachu. The line would be fast physical attackers. The base form would have access to moves which would include Nuzzle, Spark, Scratch, Bite, Super Fang, Thunder Fang, Pounce, Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe, Dual Chop, Agility, and Hone Claws. The evolved form would have access to the signature move as well as moves such as Wild Charge, Dragon Claw, Dragon Rush, Outrage, Crunch, Dragon Dance, and Coil.
We should get an Electric-Rock Pika clone that's also a fossil mon that's the canonical ancestor of all Pika clones. Most of the mammals during the dinosaur times looked like rodents anyway.
Also, I would definitely scream-sing with Chippu.
Yeah, a prehistoric Pika would be nice.
Paradox form called "Rolling Thunder". It's a huge pikachu with super fluffy fur puffed up from electricity that rolls around in a huge fluffy ball of electric destruction.
Imagine if it looked like Gorochu.

The first design for Chippu looks awesome. I don't think it looks like a Pokemon, but as an independent design is pretty solid. For real
Agreed, at least on it looking awesome, but the concept of having a Pokemon's eyes react to the type of damage they're dealing/receiving is Nintendo AF.
gives strong saiki k energy in my eyes
Probably intentional as they're making their own game
I actually really like the glasses on the original Chippu. I can see those animations working really well.
I think it's interesting to note that for Pikachu evolving into Raichu in the generation it was released in then getting a pre evolution the next generation
Marill evolving into Azumarill in the generation it was released in then getting a pre evolution the next generation as well
The weirdest part about this is that Azurill is the only Pokemon that has connections to the previous two generations where as the rest of the Pokedex for gen3 are all brand new Pokemon evolutionary lines
Sure there's no official source but it's such an interesting topic that no one really talks about...
There was also Wynatt. It’s evolution was introduced in Gen 2. I forgot how to spell it, but it’s pretty infamous from the Anime, being owned by Jessie after she accidentally traded her Lickitung for it.
Gen 3 also introduced the Incense items. Prior to Gen 9, they were used to breed to get Pokémon that in prior Gens didn’t exist. The concept was greatly expanded in Gen 4.
Wynatt, Azurill, Mime Jr, Happiny, Budew and Munchlax are I believe the Pokémon that were produced from Incense.
There was Wynaut as well. But those two babies were the only Pokémon related to old species.
Yeah, I think gen 3 is pretty unusual in that it doesn't add any new forms to any gen 1 pokémon, which I think is something it only shares with gen 5, which is unique in not adding new forms to any previous pokémon whatsoever. It's also the only gen that only adds baby forms to the gen right before it.
@@jaschabull2365 what about Chingling and Budew?
@@TDIfan10
I said "only". Unlike in gen 3, gen 4 had lots of evolved and unevolved forms for pokémon from gens 1 and 2.
The Pawmot line at 10:44 is so dang CUTE!!! Your art style is wonderful!
Ok
Imagine hating a pokemon for getting it shiny when you didn't want it shiny smh
@@LuckyBenjamin_ yeah like a shiny IS a shiny
i havent gotten a single one yet
@Silver Shiny Hunter Why you so made about a shiny?
Have you considered making Chippu much more chipmunk-y? Chipmunks have stripes down their backs that make a perfect place to implement the wave patterns. You could even have different forms for each different wave pattern.
Also, if you depict Chippu with full cheeks, that would make for a nice nod to the Pikaclone cheeks without it giving off a "bootleg" vibe.
If you think about the silhouette of a chipmunk and a squirrel, they are in fact *very* different. I think it'd be cool to see a design where you capitalize more on that.
To add to the full cheeks idea: turn them into speaker diaphragms that blow out like the stuffed cheaks when playing sounds?
@@DemoRyou sir are a genius
The first design on Chippu is by far the best. You should pull more from that version on designs
Yes.
100% it was cute af
I really got sad when irndrifted away
Wrong opinion (I liked the first design)
I know not everyone might like the Pikaclones every gen- but personally really love them!
It’s also ways cool to see what they come up with!
And I especially love your design :D
Same
I love the idea of them.
I do like your final design, but heck. I LOVE your first design of Chippu!
It's so adorable and I love the concept of using the tinted glasses for showing chiptune waves. >w<

I first chippu reminded me of pibby, but other than that, it indeed was adorable
chippu is so cute and puts a twist on pikachu clones, mostly pikachu clones and chonky but you made yours more like a slim body, and it kinda looks like a super hero
Your first design was amazing! The rest were are also great but I really liked the first one
And the neon blue in all designs was also amazing
8:27 there's actually a kinda similar idea in biology called: deep sea gigantism! theres a popular video going around describing how it works, and affects animals like giant squid :D
There's also island gigantism.
I’m so happy I found this channel, every video is so good. Really lovely artwork too!
I really like that you make your own music for the videos, avoids copyright and it’s cute
Oh I love the final Chippu! So much fun seeing your process and appreciate the deep dive into one of my favorite Pokémon design archetypes :D
Your art for the stema region and super auto battlemon is amazing
*honestly both versions 1 and 3 of Chippu are really cute but HOLY SHIT the final form is perfect!!*
I also really like the first version! Maybe change the pink for the teal, but man, i really love the soundwaves being reflected in the 'glasses'
Hrd disagree, the first version is perfect, the last version is the shit
The music in your videos are such a bop, they sound so nice, especially in this one with all the chiptune :D
Love this lol it was nice. Also seeing your growth as an artist I love the Wubbzy joke. Lol

I love all of Chippu's designs but the glasses really were my favorite iteration. Such a cute idea!
Not gonna lie, I really enjoyed the original chippu and the eye forms, but glad to hear you had a fun (if not frustrating) time !

My first time seeing the term "pika-blue" was in Beckett Pokémon Collector, a somewhat popular unofficial magazine.
I like your Pikaclone idea. My favorite designs you used for Chippu were the first, which diverged from the usual color scheme and made it more unique, and the fifth.
My idea for a Pikaclone is a lizard(or lizard-like dragon) that uses camouflage to mimic the appearance of a rodent-like, mammalian Pokémon for the purpose of deceiving not only other rodent-like Pokémon, but also Pokémon that would normally prey upon them, such as birds and snakes. It would also be somewhat of a reference to the killer rabbit from Monty Python.

Initially, it would have two front teeth like Rattata to lower one's guard, only to reveal that the other teeth in its mouth are canine teeth. This Pikaclone would also have retractable claws like cats.
It would evolve into a more dragon-like lizard. Either the whole line or just the evolved form would be an Electric/Dragon type. I have yet to figure out the names for both the Pokémon and the signature move, which would be an Electric-type signature move that resembles Dragon Rush. It's meant to be a reference to a scene from a battle between Ash & Pikachu versus Sabrina & Kadabra. Pikachu used Thunderbolt(or some other Electric attack), only for Kadabra to counter with Confusion(or Psychic), causing the attack to chase and strike Pikachu.
The line would be fast physical attackers. The base form would have access to moves which would include Nuzzle, Spark, Scratch, Bite, Super Fang, Thunder Fang, Pounce, Dragon Tail, Breaking Swipe, Dual Chop, Agility, and Hone Claws. The evolved form would have access to the signature move as well as moves such as Wild Charge, Dragon Claw, Dragon Rush, Outrage, Crunch, Dragon Dance, and Coil.
