When you’re finally done with the dex. Please do a video with them all in Pokédex order and you give your final verdict on each. And maybe do a tier ranking or something just for laughs, cos obviously they’re all great
the pompador on noseponch's head reminds me of battering rams. wouldnt be surprised if it learned all sorts of headbutt based moves. it's such a cool design
I love the redesigns. You have such an unique and interesting take on Pokémon. I’d love to see a Middle East region as I’m Persian. I think that they could be a lot of fun. There’s so much more than just ocean and sand lol
@Hedeki Tajiri I absolutely adore truegreen7’s stuff, and while I prefer subjectively due to his art style, the sheer content, and inspiration behind a lot of truegreen7’s mon and amazing. They both have actually inspired me to make a Region based on India, where my parents are from.
Whole heartedly agreed. The Mazah region is filled with beautiful creatures that I wouldn't be able to play favorites with. Even as a dragon trainer, I love the fossil pokemon and the cuter pokemon. One of my favorite pokemon of all is an undead bug types exoskeleton after all.
That darn pompadour is such a nice touch, i cant get over it. And while i am sad to see silicanthus go, the changes made improve massively on the original designs and really give them more character. Great work as always!
Nice new Nosepass line, although if I might make a suggestion, perhaps you could make new Ice types next. Since, as far as I know, there's only 3 in Mazah and Ice is my 2nd favorite typing. I just want to see more variety.
Again, all your new mons are really cool! It's hard to have a favorite, when there's so many good ones. If I may suggest something though, a Gogoat regional form/evo would be really nice! Perhaps it's loses the pelt it has because of the warmer climate. After all, there's already a chupacabra, yet no "cabras". The Gogoat line is one of my favorites, and I would love it to see receive some love!
Kinda dark but maybe like a new skidoo (gogoat preevo) that evolves into a ground ghost of a sorta drained gogoat ground from the grass type losing its life force and ghost for the animal part
"Good news is that there's an easy fix! Bad news is that means getting rid of it." Glad to see the character design stages from the Palkia video are still in play- truly a nonpareil example of Stage Three: Execution. In all seriousness- love these new variants, and the new looks for the old lines!! Can't wait to see what comes next(still eagerly awaiting the evil team but that's just bc they're my favorite part of pokemon)!
This was definitely a lesson I needed to hear, I feel like I've gained a lot from this! When you started fiddling with the forehead of noseponch it suddenly rang like a Pokemon design to me ten-fold! Excited to apply this framework more heavily to my designs now!
Ooh! Another regional form! Nosepass and Noseponch were a surprise to me as well. I liked how they looked. RIP Silicanthus. The whole line being a three stage was part of its original appeal, though it would seem that this trait was worn itself thin. That being said, the new Charcopal and Geocoprion look great and they continue to carry on the little guy's legacy. Now I'm curious as to whether or Elegoop and Tartusk will be updated as well.
If you do end up finishing the Maza region. I would enjoy seeing a “recap” video going thought some of the major design ideas and lessons that you learned over this series. (As well as your favourite Pokémon that you’ve drawn)
The Nosepass line are ones that really need another look at their stats and abilities. The designs are outstanding, but Plus isn't a great ability for it. Something like Sheer Force would work with its Dex description better, and allow it to mesh better with its evolution. Nosepaunch having Levitate is good and makes sense. It would work better as a defensive special attacker, though, to have stats closer in line to its pre-evolution and to let it fill a niche as one of the few SpAtk focused Fighting or Rock types.
Why would the floating Bancho Warrior with GIANT meaty fists be a special attacker? It goes against the fantasy and frankly with the current move pool rock and fighting have in terms of special moves gimps its potential to wreck house. What's it got? Power Gem and Focus Blast? Meanwhile Stone Edge and Close Combat seem like much better thematic fits for a seasoned stone warrior. Plus, Nosepass and Probopass are ALREADY SPECIALLY FOCUSED, you would just be swapping steel for fighting and gimping its viable movesets.
@@skeletingking You're 100% right that design wise he IS a physical attack and maybe defender, but i was more hinting at his pokedex entry, It's still a very nice design
I want a Geocoprion. This fossil line is so gosh darn cute!!!! And I really hope you make another Region. I love the artwork you do for your fakemon regions and it often brightens my day when I see it. And seeing new works or freshly redesigned works in this case, help me get my hopes enough to entertain the prospect of brand new day without my favorite tea. And some of the people who had sprung up in your community are amazing creators themselves, including one person who makes music that I use as inspiration when I write my books and make models in blender.
I love what you did with the nosepass line. I have never been a fan of the line, but with the creation of noseponch I can’t help but want one on my team.
I just want to say I get *so* excited when these videos come out, they’re one of my all-time favorite series on TH-cam. The way you execute your ideas and have so much inspiration for your designs is just so fun to watch and listen about!!
I loved the geocoprion line and I'm really happy with the minor changes, keeping the overall feel of the designs. Also nosepass is a pokemon I never use because of its design, but this makes it really interesting. The colour palette especially differentiates it
You really stick out from the bunch with your articulate expression of art and design literacy. Descriptors like "redundant" for the evo line are insightful indicators for your thought process! That's my favorite part.
I love Mazian Nosepas line, I think it's a big improvement over the original Nosepas line. Also might I suggest a Mazian Seel line with a Manatee evolution and/or a Mazian Honedge line based on the macuahuitl?
I love the new designs for Charcopal and Geocoprion. Honestly, I also thought they need a change, especially the pre-evolution. But making it a two-stager was still satisfying.
I really love the redesign videos, there's something nice about returning to a concept and improving it. Always end up drawing after watching your videos
I absolutely love all of these. It's very inspiring too. I think I would have just settled for the previous version of both noseponch and the fossils, but as soon as I saw your next attempts I was blown away. Elevated them from good designs to fantastic ones. Some of the strongest Mazah mons
The new version of Geocoprion is one of my favorite designs from the whole region dex, I would’ve loved to have it on my team if it was in an actual Pokemon game!
@@thebookless3381 like as long as nosponch is on the field and 1 turn after all pokemon other than noseponch get a -2 acc +1 attack, when he dies or gets switched ñut the effect will last 1 turn and then go away, dunno if i frase it better here
Another great video as always! It's really fun and informative hearing Jack's thoughts on design and then seeing him apply them in 'mon designs. When the Mazah region is done, I'd love to see one final overview video where Jack gives his final thoughts on each Mazah 'mon - elements he likes, aspects he'd change in retrospect, and so on :)
I really like Mazian Nosepass and Noseponch, I love the redesigns for Charcopal and Geocoprion too. I get why you scrapped silicanthus but it’s a shame it was scrapped. Would still love to see a Mazian Duskull line based on sugar skulls. Also I would be great if you did another region after the Mazah Region, this region is the whole reason why I’m so into Fakemon now.
I really love your update videos! The charcopal line was always one of my favorites in concept but I didn't quite love the designs as much as the ideas. But by revisiting them and applying your new Dex character design logic I feel they have taken their spot of one of my favorite evolutionary lines in the mazah region too!
I think these are my Absolute favorites you've done now. The pompadour is genius! And totally agree on ditching the first evo . Now i wanna see a third Super Fairy type stage for the Shark tho :}}}
Your designs this episode where phenomenal (as usual), but I really liked this episode, because your tips and ideas regarding balance and using reference was so insightful. Thank you for this one, Subjectively.
Love the new design and the updated fossils! I think if there’s one other design that could probably use an update focused on proportions to me it would be Perroxolotl. Something about it still doesn’t really scream pseudo-legendary to me and I think it has something to do with the proportions
i Actully realy like seeing you redisign old designs. Explaining how looking back with your knowledge now, they could be improved. even though the fan favorites can be hard to change ,:D
Watching the Mazah region series has helped me a lot to design my own fakemon. Heck, watching this channel has helped me with character design in general. This episode in particular helped me with a 3 stage carnivorous plant line. The second stage had the exact same problem than Charcopal and I never even realised until I watched this video. So I changed the proportions and now it looks much better.
I love seeing the... evolution... of the mazah region, and your art style. I'd be sad to see the mazah region come to an end, but when it does I would like to suggest doing a review video on what this project has taught you, thing we can take away, and your overall thought on the Mazah region
the redesigns look so much better! scrapping the first form was a good choice. i love the regional variants too, even though i never liked nosepass and probopass
i just binged the whole playlist after this popped up on my home page 2 days ago. i absolutely love all of the pokemon (and people) so far and cannot wait to see what you come up with next!
Your process of creation for Noseponch strongly made me think about a creature called Rocky from a game I played a while ago, dinorpg. But your end result rock has a lot more identity and personnality, it's amazing.
I thought I'd lost the types we now have in mazah: Normal 3 Fire 8 Water 16 Grass 14 Poison 6 Bug 5 Ground 3 Rock 7 Flying 9 Electric 3 Ice 3 Psychic 4 Dragon 6 Ghost 6 Dark 6 Fighting 9 Steel 3 Fairy 8 Correct me if I'm wrong at all. This means we should ideally avoid new water and grass types and try to aim for a lot more normal types and a few more ice, electric, steel, ground and psychic types, maybe a few fire! I think a nice secondary normal type similar to wooloo' s niche could work well and maybe even become 3 stage with some steel at some point in the line!
Also as a suggestion, (and I bet so many have seen this countless times before) but a Mon based on popocatepetl and itztaccihuatl could be a good addition as a fire ice type. It is a myth based on a romeo/juliet style couple who died and became a set of twin icy covered volcanoes, which match the south east of mazah's map. It fits the community theme of mazah, but in the relationship aspect and could start as a duo like zea zaya, put remain as a pair based mon
@@ghifariasoka8272 good idea. Electric psychic could be a cool combo. I hope for, avoiding legendaries, a pure normal single stage, a 3 stage normal to normal steel line, a 2 stage pure electric, a single stage electric psychic, a 3 stage ice to ice fire, and a 2 stage ground psychic. That's probably a lot for Jack but I think that's a nice way to round off all the missing types
@@SashedPotato He needs to do more with Bug ngl. I'd like to see a cicada themed around radio communication given how loud they are. We could get a Bug/Normal since Normal is a de facto sound type. Alternatively, Bug/Psychic or Bug/Electric
I really like noseponch! An idea I had while you were drawing the different iterations of them was to have a few different "hairstyles" to their head! I enjoy the current shape though!
I’d love to see your take on regions based on other parts of the world! I’ve designed a few mons for a Greco-Roman region, and would love to see you pull inspiration from those mythologies!
I love noseponch, how fun! And I really enjoy seeing your process for redesigning old fakemons, my only "complaint" would be I wish you did a bit of a side-by-side of the before and after of each redesign! I just think it's fun to directly see them next to each other like that haha :)
Duuuude, i freaking love the depths you go for this region based on Mexico, as a Mexican myself it's just so amazing, if you ever need another stone sculpture reference for heads or whatever, do give this a search "atlantes de Tula" they are another set if sculptures that while not as known as the Olmec heads, they do be having more elaborated head gear
The mazah region is really solid overall and I really like it. That being said I would love to see a new region and see your in depth research and inspiration on mythology applied to another part of the world
Don’t be afraid to revisit the Mazah designs later either! If, like you said you decide to do another region at some point, I’m sure fans would love seeing you revisit old designs occasionally to do regional forms of your Mazah mon!
Too add to the comments, I also really enjoy the videos where you revisit your old pokemon - probably even more than your new reveals (though the bananas were fun!). It's just nice to see the 'second draft' process and how you improve on the already good designs.
I know this is a character design channel mostly, but even if it meant bringing in guests I would love to see some more about the region itself! Landmarks and towns and routes and people!
Sad to hear about the end of the Mazah Region project, but it's better to end it while it's good than to push it. It's been an amazing journey, and I'm lookin forward to what comes next!! (yes, i know this isn't the last one but i wanted to say it anyway) All I think is remaining this is the story (plus more human characters), the Legendaries and a popcorn form for the Mayzmen line (you asked about this a while ago, and i'd still love to see it! also, i think it should be a separate form for all 3, and not a split evo - maybe it transforms when it gets burned or hit by a Fire-type move? and then to transform back it needs to be healed, maybe even specifically at the Pokémon Center and/or after fainting or something)
I love the attention that gets put into all the mazah region pokemon with their designs and updates. Really hope there's some kind of recap of the final designs when the dex is done!
Woah I love the new designs with scale in mind. The rework for the fossil Mon was so great. Character design can go on and on, but this step was necessary I think. Great job
These all look so good! I love the revisions for the fossil Pokémon too- would it be possible to include an Agatized counterpart to these fossils? It’s when fossilisation turns remains into Agate gemstones!
I really loved the new regional nosepass and evolution! But I feel like you could add one more nostril to the design of Nosepass. The redesigns of the fossils looked incredible too. In my opinion these are the best designs you made so far! Keep doing what you do because these are amazing to watch
You should do a regional variant of a starter Pokémon from another region. Not to use as a starter but as another Pokémon that can be found, I don’t think this has been done before and I would love to see how you make it. I love everything you do keep up the great work!
I would love too see a mention of The Original first stage like in its description saying that it used to have a pre evolution and its now gone extinct I don't know how good this is but yeah. 😅
I was already a huge fan of your Fakemons! including your Fossil Shark, but with this "redesign" and this little course on Proportion in pokemon designs... you make me want to redo my first concept of pokemon shark by applying what I learned thanks to you! thank you
Had some ideas for new eeveelutions for the mazah region.(the names are just placeholders) Champeon- fighting type eeveelution based on either luchadors or one of the Aztec / Mayan gods of war, Obsideon- rock or ground type eeveelution based on the obsidian blades used and Itztli, Medalleon- steel type eeveelution based on jewelry from Mayan and Aztec culture, A ghost type eevee based on day of the dead or any gods of death, like Catrina or xolotl A poison type eevee based on the plague aspect of xolotl A bug type eevee based on more edible bugs in Mexico
i love how you still pay attention and update the older designs, really shows how passionate you are with your designs! keep it up :)
Same bro they're amazing at this type of stuff 👏
Agreed! The redesign videos are some of my favorites!
Hopefully we can get some gym leader designs before you retire the Mazah region. I really wanna see the lore you'll conjure for each area and gym!!
i was thinking the same thing! in my eyes the Pokémon themselves are really only half of what makes a region. the other half is the story/characters!
Yeah! I loved the last gym leader episode
They made one gym leader one time but that was all the way since 2020
I love the idea that an office full of people, with nosepass to keep them calm, suddenly erupts into a frenzied fight when one evolves into Noseponch!
A Cownose Stingray would be very cute and I feel a good addition to the Mazah region. I’d love to see what you do if you have it evolve!
It’d especially cute if, at least the first stage, had a cow-like pattern. A diet of play on words ^^
Yes, love that idea!
YESS
Hell yeah! We need more ray Pokemon!
When you’re finally done with the dex. Please do a video with them all in Pokédex order and you give your final verdict on each. And maybe do a tier ranking or something just for laughs, cos obviously they’re all great
Seconded! A final verdict/overview video would be awesome
i never really liked Probopass but Noseponch is super sick! i also love the redesign for Geocoprion
the pompador on noseponch's head reminds me of battering rams. wouldnt be surprised if it learned all sorts of headbutt based moves. it's such a cool design
yea just imagine it with head smash.
I love the redesigns. You have such an unique and interesting take on Pokémon. I’d love to see a Middle East region as I’m Persian. I think that they could be a lot of fun. There’s so much more than just ocean and sand lol
YES
@Hedeki Tajiri I absolutely adore truegreen7’s stuff, and while I prefer subjectively due to his art style, the sheer content, and inspiration behind a lot of truegreen7’s mon and amazing. They both have actually inspired me to make a Region based on India, where my parents are from.
Love all your mons! If this were a game, I would have a hard time building a team of just 6.
Right? This would be a region i would probably struggle and would eventually keep more than 6 pokemons.
Whole heartedly agreed. The Mazah region is filled with beautiful creatures that I wouldn't be able to play favorites with. Even as a dragon trainer, I love the fossil pokemon and the cuter pokemon. One of my favorite pokemon of all is an undead bug types exoskeleton after all.
I would be the same thing, the Mazah region would be muh favorite regions ever.
Imagine doing a nuzlocke in this region I would be attached to everyone of this mons ☹️
it’s the only region i would choose the fire starter over water or grass
That darn pompadour is such a nice touch, i cant get over it. And while i am sad to see silicanthus go, the changes made improve massively on the original designs and really give them more character. Great work as always!
Nice new Nosepass line, although if I might make a suggestion, perhaps you could make new Ice types next. Since, as far as I know, there's only 3 in Mazah and Ice is my 2nd favorite typing. I just want to see more variety.
ice type is underrated, i agree with your suggestion completely
New ice would be great but remember is a tropical region.
Even in tropical region like Alola, there's some icy roads, so there could be ice types in Mazah too.
Ice/Fairy or Ice/Grass type based on Mexican ice cream would be dope
is psychic your first?
Again, all your new mons are really cool! It's hard to have a favorite, when there's so many good ones. If I may suggest something though, a Gogoat regional form/evo would be really nice! Perhaps it's loses the pelt it has because of the warmer climate. After all, there's already a chupacabra, yet no "cabras". The Gogoat line is one of my favorites, and I would love it to see receive some love!
Yeah, maybe a Rock or Ground typing since goats can climb nearly vertical surfaces thanks to their hooves, and spend so much time on cliff sides.
Kinda dark but maybe like a new skidoo (gogoat preevo) that evolves into a ground ghost of a sorta drained gogoat ground from the grass type losing its life force and ghost for the animal part
“Though suited for a life underwater, it can breathe on land just fine” is such a threatening sentence and I love it
"Good news is that there's an easy fix! Bad news is that means getting rid of it."
Glad to see the character design stages from the Palkia video are still in play- truly a nonpareil example of Stage Three: Execution.

I like how you included the fact that Geocorprion can breathe on land, fish pokemon being fine on land was always a little awkward
Or the reverse with Drakovish not being able to breathe on land supposedly.

You really stick out from the bunch with your articulate expression of art and design literacy. Descriptors like "redundant" for the evo line are insightful indicators for your thought process! That's my favorite part.
I’ll miss Silicanthus, but these new designs are so good!
I love Mazian Nosepas line, I think it's a big improvement over the original Nosepas line.
Also might I suggest a Mazian Seel line with a Manatee evolution and/or a Mazian Honedge line based on the macuahuitl?
As much as I'd love seel, we have a lot of water types, but we lack stuff like steel, among other types so maybe a steel ground honedge line?
@@SashedPotato personally I would replace the ground typing with fairy or psychic, although the region does need more ground types.
@@nightwolf89 it needs more psychic than fairy so maybe psychic?

I adore the small tips and such subjectivity gives for people who are trying to get into character design :,)
Well, someone's gotta say it, noseponch looks like crazy diamond with josuke's hair, and I love it

Aah, you always got to love those videos with that educational element. Good stuff!
This was really a good episode and the updates for your fossil do make sense. (really like the top and side view pictures)
Your process of creation for Noseponch strongly made me think about a creature called Rocky from a game I played a while ago, dinorpg. But your end result rock has a lot more identity and personnality, it's amazing.
I love redesigns! They show how much you've grown as an artist and are realy interesting to watch
Noseponch looks like a Kriby Boss, and I love it.
Love the new designs, I feel the regional birds could use some reworking 🦅⚡️

Normal 3
Fire 8
Water 16
Grass 14
Poison 6
Bug 5
Ground 3
Rock 7
Flying 9
Electric 3
Ice 3

Correct me if I'm wrong at all. This means we should ideally avoid new water and grass types and try to aim for a lot more normal types and a few more ice, electric, steel, ground and psychic types, maybe a few fire! I think a nice secondary normal type similar to wooloo' s niche could work well and maybe even become 3 stage with some steel at some point in the line!
Also as a suggestion, (and I bet so many have seen this countless times before) but a Mon based on popocatepetl and itztaccihuatl could be a good addition as a fire ice type. It is a myth based on a romeo/juliet style couple who died and became a set of twin icy covered volcanoes, which match the south east of mazah's map. It fits the community theme of mazah, but in the relationship aspect and could start as a duo like zea zaya, put remain as a pair based mon
There's an oddly low amount of Electric and Psychic types here. I'd like an Electric/Psychic type magnetic statue based on sundials
@@ghifariasoka8272 good idea. Electric psychic could be a cool combo. I hope for, avoiding legendaries, a pure normal single stage, a 3 stage normal to normal steel line, a 2 stage pure electric, a single stage electric psychic, a 3 stage ice to ice fire, and a 2 stage ground psychic. That's probably a lot for Jack but I think that's a nice way to round off all the missing types
@@SashedPotato He needs to do more with Bug ngl. I'd like to see a cicada themed around radio communication given how loud they are. We could get a Bug/Normal since Normal is a de facto sound type. Alternatively, Bug/Psychic or Bug/Electric
@@ghifariasoka8272 noticed that actually. Any bug will do but bug normal is a good shout, maybe also bug electric, bug poison or bug ground
I really like noseponch! An idea I had while you were drawing the different iterations of them was to have a few different "hairstyles" to their head! I enjoy the current shape though!
I’d love to see your take on regions based on other parts of the world! I’ve designed a few mons for a Greco-Roman region, and would love to see you pull inspiration from those mythologies!
I’m really loving that hairstyle in designs, it’s just fun, their design is imposing too with its mass in proportion in the hands.
I love noseponch, how fun! And I really enjoy seeing your process for redesigning old fakemons, my only "complaint" would be I wish you did a bit of a side-by-side of the before and after of each redesign! I just think it's fun to directly see them next to each other like that haha :)
The fairy sharks were my favorites when I saw them a year or so ago. Very cool to see them revisited!
Duuuude, i freaking love the depths you go for this region based on Mexico, as a Mexican myself it's just so amazing, if you ever need another stone sculpture reference for heads or whatever, do give this a search "atlantes de Tula" they are another set if sculptures that while not as known as the Olmec heads, they do be having more elaborated head gear
Oh Nosepaunch definitely has the move "Swagger".
I felt the same way about the fossil mons, the first ones were nice but these are a great improvement, good job
The mazah region is really solid overall and I really like it. That being said I would love to see a new region and see your in depth research and inspiration on mythology applied to another part of the world
I love how these videos also teach me about art. Keep up the good stuff!
Don’t be afraid to revisit the Mazah designs later either! If, like you said you decide to do another region at some point, I’m sure fans would love seeing you revisit old designs occasionally to do regional forms of your Mazah mon!
I love the progress and willingness to double back. The growth is at least half the charm of the series, it's not just the horde of inspired designs.
Amazing video! It's incredible how you keep improving what was already good in my eyes
Honestly all these regional varents and different choices for these for the region leave me utterly speechless. Keep up the good work subjectively 😁
You should make a sableye with a Aztec calendar on its neck and golden eyes, that’d be pretty swag
Too add to the comments, I also really enjoy the videos where you revisit your old pokemon - probably even more than your new reveals (though the bananas were fun!). It's just nice to see the 'second draft' process and how you improve on the already good designs.
I know this is a character design channel mostly, but even if it meant bringing in guests I would love to see some more about the region itself! Landmarks and towns and routes and people!
Im so genuinely goddamn impressed with how you logically adapt the regional forms. Maybe an adobe style palossand? Ive been thinkin about that a lot
Sad to hear about the end of the Mazah Region project, but it's better to end it while it's good than to push it. It's been an amazing journey, and I'm lookin forward to what comes next!! (yes, i know this isn't the last one but i wanted to say it anyway)
All I think is remaining this is the story (plus more human characters), the Legendaries and a popcorn form for the Mayzmen line (you asked about this a while ago, and i'd still love to see it! also, i think it should be a separate form for all 3, and not a split evo - maybe it transforms when it gets burned or hit by a Fire-type move? and then to transform back it needs to be healed, maybe even specifically at the Pokémon Center and/or after fainting or something)
I love the attention that gets put into all the mazah region pokemon with their designs and updates. Really hope there's some kind of recap of the final designs when the dex is done!
im a big fan of both nosepass, and i like how you reinterpreted the focus form the nose to arms
Woah I love the new designs with scale in mind. The rework for the fossil Mon was so great. Character design can go on and on, but this step was necessary I think. Great job
I like how each Mazah video now has lil tutorials/tips it’s a good idea in my opinion!!
These all look so good! I love the revisions for the fossil Pokémon too- would it be possible to include an Agatized counterpart to these fossils? It’s when fossilisation turns remains into Agate gemstones!
I really loved the new regional nosepass and evolution! But I feel like you could add one more nostril to the design of Nosepass. The redesigns of the fossils looked incredible too. In my opinion these are the best designs you made so far! Keep doing what you do because these are amazing to watch
You should do a regional variant of a starter Pokémon from another region. Not to use as a starter but as another Pokémon that can be found, I don’t think this has been done before and I would love to see how you make it. I love everything you do keep up the great work!
Regional variant starters are actually a preety common fan idea
Rest in pepperoni Sillicanthus you will be missed. (Jan 28 2021 - Feb 22 2022)
Those redesigns are fantastic and make The Geocoprion so much better!!!! Good job!!!
I would love too see a mention of The Original first stage like in its description saying that it used to have a pre evolution and its now gone extinct I don't know how good this is but yeah. 😅
I never liked the nosepass line but I really enjoy your noseponch! I can definitely see that big boy on my team! Great work
I was already a huge fan of your Fakemons! including your Fossil Shark, but with this "redesign" and this little course on Proportion in pokemon designs... you make me want to redo my first concept of pokemon shark by applying what I learned thanks to you!
thank you
Missed opportunity on Nosepass to use green Jade for the earrings on the shiny.
I absolutely LOVE that Nosepass line omg. TOP TIER
Loving these redesigns. Keep up the awesome work.
I love the Nosepass line, but you made them so much cooler
Your videos are an inspiration! I love all of them. The pokemon ones honestly make me want to make my one region
Love the new designs and redesigns, also Josuke Higashikata Rock
Had some ideas for new eeveelutions for the mazah region.(the names are just placeholders)
Champeon- fighting type eeveelution based on either luchadors or one of the Aztec / Mayan gods of war,
Obsideon- rock or ground type eeveelution based on the obsidian blades used and Itztli,
Medalleon- steel type eeveelution based on jewelry from Mayan and Aztec culture,
A ghost type eevee based on day of the dead or any gods of death, like Catrina or xolotl
A poison type eevee based on the plague aspect of xolotl
A bug type eevee based on more edible bugs in Mexico
