- Sometimes Pokémon show up and you can't help but feel like you've seen them before, and as we do know they like to revisit certain ideas every now and then. But having similar Pokémon isn't always a bad thing, and in fact some of them can be better than the first time, so let's see which Pokémon rip-offs out there are the best! (Also I was wicked sick for this one so sorry if it sounds funny...)

In Bouffalaunts defense, it looks like an actual Buffalo. It's not it's fault they made Tauros look like a Buffalo.
Tauros looks more like a bull than a Buffalo or bison.
Bouffalant love
Bouffalant looks like an American Bison, which are not actual buffaloes
i Wanted bouffalant To Receive A New Form. A Fighting Type Variant Of bouffalant Sounds Awesome, Or Even An Ancient Paradox Pokémon Of bouffalant. Here’s Raging Horns, A Rock/Fighting Type Paradox Pokémon And it is An Ancient Ancestor Of bouffalant And it is Said To Be Strongest Rock & Fighting Type Pokémon, bouffalant is A BLAND Pokémon. So A Paradox Pokémon Of bouffalant is A Must. Maybe in The DLC.
They're both bovine.
I would say Toxapex being on this list is a bit of a stretch at best, and I would say Noivern and Araquanid wouldn't count as a rip-off of any Pokemon because there's enough differences between them that they would be their own thing without being a rip-off. Also, while yes there are a bunch of Pokemon based on mushrooms or have mushrooms in their design, I would say calling them rip-offs of each other isn't accurate and does it a disservice, plus it breaks your own rules you established in the beginning with the crab example. an argument for this breaking your own rules could also be used for Araquanid.
I'm really surprised more Gen 5 Pokemon aren't on this list, as Gen 5 easily has the most examples of rip-off Pokemon, Garbodor is Muk, Conkeldurr is Machamp, Klinklang is Magnezone, Swoobat is Golbat, Gothitelle is Gardevoir, Reuniclus is Alakazam, Gigalith is Golem, etc.
Well the idea was "good" Pokemon of similar inspirations, so that's why more Gen 5 aren't there...
@@emperorcubone "good" is a subjective term, I could think something is good and you could think that exact same thing is bad. It's not really clear what you're meaning, I'm going more the "Deadpool is a Deathstroke rip-off" or "Aquaman is a Namor rip-off" type angle, while it seems you're more going for the "this is a spider Pokemon that came after another spider Pokemon, so rip-off just because it's a spider that came after other spiders and no other reason" or "this is a starfish Pokemon that came after other starfish Pokemon, so rip-off just because it's a starfish that came after other starfish and no other reason" type angle, if that makes any sense.
Yeah the entire premise doesn’t line up if you ask me
Honestly though I think the destination between rip off and convergent evolution doesn’t make any scene and thing unova did the whole similar Pokémon brought on by filling a biological niche far better than paldea’s regional fakes
@@jmurray1110 I would say the difference between a rip-off and a convergent Pokemon is that a rip-off would be something that's the same creature, or at least a similar creature, that is essentially just a rehash of a pre-existing Pokemon, like Garbodor and Muk or Conkeldurr and Machamp, whereas a convergent Pokemon is 2 creatures that are completely different species evolving (in terms of real world evolution) to have similar features or aspects to each other, like Diglett and Wiglett, one is a mole and the other is an eel, but both have evolved to have some similar aspects to each other while still being 2 separate creatures that aren't rehashes of each other, if that makes any sense. In other words, I guess you could say one is essentially a clone, while the other one is more different creatures gaining aspects of each other while still remaining separate beings, if that makes any sense.
Most of this list was stretches. Also a lot of the gen 5 mons you mentioned didn’t surpass the originals.
I won’t lie, I am very confused by your definition of ripoff lmao
I be honest ,they all don't feel like rip off. I think what qualified them as rip off is they share same typing and stats. Like buffalo and tauro , who share look,typing, roles.
P.d. I see quality in spidops . It just need one thing to stand out
I so agree. I didn't feel any if these were rip offs. Bufalont, alomamola, gigalith and concelder feel like rip offs. These choices in this video all have a wide range of diverse species. There are so many star fish for example that I didn't feel they were a rip off. And don't even get me started in how drastically different each of the spiders are.
Araquanid is based on real life spider which lives under water, I dont think its a rip-off of Ariados because these are completely different species and concepts
Perhaps, but that'd be like saying "Marill has nothing to do with Pikachu." While technically true, they do bear similarities from the people making them, down to the baby added on later, so a likewise inspiration is just a part of being a rip-off when all the other factors seem to line up intentionally.
@@emperorcuboneidk about marril but the other pika clone work as ripp off because they share look ( electric pouches cheek) and electric type rodent.
U can even call them convergent
If was bug poison maybe
@@emperorcuboneMarill was INTENTIONALLY based off Pikachu lol. Hence why it used to be called Pikablu or whatever. Different species exists that just seem similar to others. Bouffalant is a literal Water Buffalo/Bison too, Tauros looks more like a bull if anything, so on. Sorta like saying a Zebra is a rip off Horse that we can't even ride
@@emperorcuboneehhh… I won’t lie that’s a bit of a stretch, like yes, they are similar, but similarity doesn’t mean ripoff. The way people use the word “ripoff” in this context is basically “an inferior imitation of something”, basically just a cheap copy, and I think Marill could be an example of that, but stuff like Araquanid and the other Pokémon on your list very much aren’t
When you also think about the pattern of the Mushroom Pokemon that appear in odd generations.
Think about Hoenn's missing types specialists
Bug, Grass, Poison, Fairy and Ground. You can see they made 5 trainers in the Battle Resort in ORAS.
You know what else has those types?
Paras, Shroomish, Foongus, Morelull, and Toedscool.
I wonder what typing Gen 11 Mushroom will have.
Okay, that's actually kind of crazy! What secret connections do mushrooms have to the Hoenn region?
@@emperorcubonemoist
@@AnaDazuva it's probably humid because of the legendaries being heat, water, and air
I'm gonna be honest dude, most of these are reaches
They’re all reaches. Being based on similar animals/objects doesn’t make them ripoffs. I enjoy most of these types of videos, but hearing him say Noivern was a Swoobat ripoff made me shut it off lol.
"We need a new Pokemon."
"A bull."
"We have one of those.
"Bull with an afro."
"Stop drilling, you've hit oil."
Sometimes they just get it right.
I can't wait for Gen 13 when we get 3 regional forms of Bouffalant...
Ok, let’s agree this video should’ve been named "Pokemon with similar inspirations" 😂 Besides Zoruark, I can’t see any of these as "rip-offs" of their counterparts and actually could’ve thought of others that might’ve fit the role better for this vid.
Agreed. Zoroark barely counts for this list. The others were a much better example, really.
@@GoinGreninjahe saying the opposite of what your agreeing.
None of them are ripoff. There just same species.
@@Watch-0w1 I want to ask you. What do you see as a new species? What do you mean when you say the word species? Because the way you use it is certainly different from most of us who use it. For example, Zoroark is a fox and Lucario is a jackal. How are they the same species? How is Gigalith the same species as Golem? How is a bison the same species as a standard bull? I can go on and on.
@@GoinGreninjabeside zoroark he didn't use tauro( good example of a ripoff or gigalith in this list so idk why u asking about them.
In he list he got a
Spider v spider
Mushroom v mushroom
Rocks v rock
Bat v bat
Starfish v starfish ( debatable)
Canine v canine ( debatable)
And ps. Don't say us. U don't count as a whole community.
@@Watch-0w1 I never claimed to act as an entire community. I just asked you why you use the word species in a different way than most people do. But now I understand since you're actually explaining what you're talking about, I think I get your logic somewhat, even if it's a bit of a reach, which even you identify later on with the last two examples. Using the word ripoff in the title made the video concept much muddier than it really should've been, to be honest. If he said similar concepts or lookalikes or the many other terms, it wouldn't feel so puzzling.
There's tons of animals that are similar to other animals so it only makes sense that Pokemon does the same thing
Bonus point to Noivern's cry sounding like dubstep
I love using Noivern! Used it in both Gen 6 and 7! Not only its super fast but it has a great movepool!
I didn't use Noivern until my second Kalos playthrough, but it was amazing!!
Alt title. Best Pokémon from common inspiration
These aren't rip offs. They just have the same inspiration, like the crabs. By this logic Pyroar is a "rip off" of Persian just because theyre both cats. Also, Rolycoly is just the regional rock.
I’ll let you know when I’ve got something stuck on the top shelf, you’re very good at reaching
Actually, Zoroark never live up to the hype that was anticipated. It has always been living under Lucario’s shadow unfortunately.
Not sure I'd go so far as to say revisited sorts of organisms would really constitute a rip-off, especially if the typing isn't that similar. There's more than one species of spider, so it stands to reason there will be more than one species of spider pokémon, and each of them have different typings to set them apart, as well as different species as origins. Same with sea stars, with crown-of-thorns being a pretty distinct species (if I were asked what earlier pokémon toxapex reminded me of, it'd probably be tentacruel or ferrothorn, they're more similar in type/general vibe). Noibat is hard to compare to zubat and swoobat, being introduced as a late-game encounter rather than the first thing encountered during an initial spelunking bout. And fungi is an entire kingdom, so calling mushroom pokémon a ripoff of another mushroom pokémon just because it's also a mushroom is like calling corsola a ripoff of meowth because it's also an animal.
Considering there are only so many broad categories of organisms and whatnot, revisiting some of those categories is pretty inevitable, and I'd only call it a rip-off if the similarities in design concept were more than just that origin (munna isn't just a tapir same as drowzee, it's also a pure psychic type dream-eating tapir like drowzee, making it more comparable). I guess the spirit of this video was more "pokémon which aren't the first to have their general origin", which I guess is a bit of a clunky title.
bro called a shrimp and a lobster a crab
This video’s title should be “Pokemon I like better compared to other Pokémon” cuz these ain’t rip-offs bud 💀
It's just shorthand to get the idea across; but I am curious, which ones would you consider a rip-off?
@@emperorcubone Skitty/Delcatty and Glameow/Purugly are rip-offs to the Meowth line. All three are Pure Normal and all three are a 2 stage lines.
I wanna see a three stage mushroom or a strong single stage pokemon
A lot of these don't feel like direct "rip offs" in the traditional sense (see Bouffalant and Tauros, for instance), but I do agree (and find interesting how) newer versions of the same basic inspiration are a lot more usable in recent gens.
EDIT: supposing we don't get a new type in gen 10, I'd like a grass/ghost mushroom. It's one of my favorite type combos, and it makes sense for a fungi.
Yes and no, I'd say the Mareep line are still better than Dubwool, but on the whole they can seem to pull it off more effectively now. Ghost does seem the most likely to come next...
No thank you. I hope we skip Grass/Ghost for at least the next 2 generations. We haven gotten them in every generation since introduction except gen 8 (But in gen 6 we got 4 and in gen 7 we got 2 and in gen 9 we got another 2). Grass/Ghost is the new Water/Ground at this point, when we also got them in 3 back-to-back generations.
@@nickdentoom1173 Fair! What would you like instead if we do get another mushroom? I think grass electric could be funky, but a status-centric set could step on Amoongus's toes. Well, if it had toes.
What a nice thing to wake up to after a crappy day previously
I'm happy to be of service!
Bro why’d you come at Spidops like that?!?! That was so uncalled for 😭😭😭
Is it though? It's such a boring Pokemon...
@@emperorcubone I suppose it’s all subjective. I personally like it because of the TCG. Spidops ex has a unique ability that increases your opponent’s retreat cost just by plopping it on the bench, and the Special Art Rare of that card creates a funny little scene when paired with the Artwork Rare Tarountula from the same set. And maybe that doesn’t do enough for you to like the Pokémon, but for me it does 🤷🏿♀️
When the only good thing Spidops can do is set up a Sticky Webs because of hanging on from a Focus Sash and then immediately take the fall without doing anything back or do a Memento and take the fall while weakening the enemy, you know that a Pokémon is questionable at best. And it doesn't even have that good a design either like Ledian while having stats similar to it. It's just severely unlucky in every possible way.
@@GoinGreninjalead Pokemon are essential. But I agree he too weak a need more. Like maybe the ability to setup sticky web on entry or arena trap.
They should have gone all the way with silk aspect.
@@Watch-0w1 They really should've. But even with an ability that'd set up Sticky Webs on entry, it still won't be seen too highly because it's so weak. It also needs some stat adjustments too like more bulk, for example.
i dont see the rip-off aspect from all the pokemon on the list
Wake up babe, new Emperor Cubone dropped
Noivern kinda looks like a Swoobat evolution.
It does have the same sort of fur around the neck!
@@emperorcubone the marking in the ear looks similar & Noivern's nose kinda resembles a stylized heart.
@@jgr7487I mean both of these pokemon are inspired by bat's of the Phyllostomidae family.
It's so tiring when people complain about GameFreak releasing "ANOTHER fish" or "ANOTHER bird". Like, there are a lot of fish and birds in real life too.
I think the problem is when it's just done in a boring way, like leaving them as pure Water, or Normal and Flying since we already have so many of both of those, but they keep coming anyway...
I didn’t even realize the mushroom Pokémon were a 2 region apart thing! Now if only they had maintained that kind of consistency with giving us new Eevee-lutions!
SO True! At the very least one in Legends Arceus would have worked just to squeeze it into the tail end of Gen 8!
Breloom...a "FAST"...sweeper? Uh...base speed is 70, which is below average...so, fast, it is not.
...the last thing that comes to mind when thinking of zoroark is lucario lol
I remember seeing quite a few fan art speculating Zoroark as an evolution of Lucario when it was first teased as a silhouette. I'm surprised you didn't mention Zeraora as I think it looks similar to the two, but I personally find its design worse than it's predecessors.
Zeraora does indeed bear many similarities to those two, and if it had a pre-evolution there would be no escape for it!
What makes araquanid even better is that out of all the spider Pokémon, it has arguably THE best ability out of all of them. It’s water STAB gets stronger, it now resists fire, and it can’t be burnt
Quite true. But its attacking stats outside of using Water type moves? It's not bad but certainly not the most reassuring. It makes sense since it's literally Huge Power but for Water types and prevents Burns, but still. Its speed is also not that good, meaning it'll sooner get hit than not. Yes, it has a lot of special defense but not much physical defense, so it loses out on one side at the least.
@@GoinGreninja I wouldn’t call it huge power for water moves as it’s a 50% boost and huge power doubles the attack stat. And honestly, a 92 defense stat is not that bad. Araquanid isn’t the best Pokémon around, but in terms of the spider Pokémon, it’s probably one of the best
@@drewbernert7050 I read the ability explanation in Bulbapedia and it directly states that it's a double increase. And its 92 defense, while not bad, it's not as good as could be because of its low 68HP. Pokémon like Toxapex have great bulk because both defensive stats are close to 150 while having a low HP stat of around 50, so it's not impossible to design such a Pokémon well, but it's not done in the best way. Regardless, I'll agree that it is definitely better than most of the other spider Pokémon out there...Except Galvantula with a Compound Eyes Thunder, at least and even then, they're evenly matched.
@@GoinGreninja huh, thought it was a 50% boost. And again, I was comparing it to SPIDER Pokémon, not to Toxapex. Even if I was comparing to Toxapex, toxapex is objectively better. It is better defensive typing, has one of the best defensive abilities with regenerator, and even with the lower hp stat, it’s overall bulkier. It has historically been the best defensive Pokémon in OU and if it wasn’t for the removal of scald, it would be better this gen
@@drewbernert7050 Yeah...I thought it was a 50% boost too back in the day. And I didn't compare it with Toxapex to begin with. I'm just saying that good defensive stats are possible with low HP Pokémon if done well, which an Araquanid is trying to be somewhat. And yes, I do agree that it is quite freaking good for a spider Pokémon, close to Galvantula level.
ah, yes, my favorite Pokémon: Mushrooms 🍄🤣🤣
Bouffalant? 😮
It's one of the Pokemon I've never used before that I like the most!
@@emperorcubone I haven't used it yet but maybe I should give it a try
9:18 lmfao! I love the Pokemon math! Loudred + Lunala = Noivern
5:57 a mareenie straight up broke my sos chain, it ate the corsola 😢
This feels like you just created your own definition for "rip-off"
If we consider tinkaton to be the new mawile since they're both small adorable feminine fairy/steel types that hit like a truck, then I love both of these pokemon gamefreak did a good job on both.
Hmm, I knew Tinkaton seemed familiar but I hadn't considered it reminding me of Mawile...
Digimon is not an attempt to replicate Pokémon's massive success
When i first saw what Zorua looked like i thought it was like a Shinx but dark
1:36 Bro, ticks are spiders, or at least arachnoids :P
20:18 this made me think about how much better shiinotic would look if it just didn’t have the mouth
I'm sorry but I don't count any of this as rip-offs
Are there others that you would? Like Klink vs. Magnemite?
@@emperorcubone yes I think they are kinda the same ideea tho I like them
If I could pick a Pokemon that needs a rip off it has to be Shiftrey because the concept of a Dark type tengu is so cool.
Another one of those could work, actually!
Huh! You know? I'm not sure if I ever realized the Odd Number Game Mushroom thing! Almost like the Grass Woman of every generation!
It's like the opposite of the "even numbers give new evolutions" trope, I wonder if it's intentional or not...
Gen 9 grass dude
Audino is the best rip-off in my opinion, it's really cute :)
The current term would most likely be convergent or lookalike nowadays but yes, a lot of them are usually cooler than the original, especially Gigalith. God I love it so much!
Is not. They're the same species. If u compare digglett and wigglet from a mole to a worm
@@Watch-0w1 They'ren't the same species. Does a mole become a worm through natural selection? Does a jellyfish become a mushroom with the same reasons? No. They just become so to take advantage of a certain niche within the battlefield while also coincidentally looking similar in some way.
I don’t buy the Toxapex line and Starmie line at all. You say at the start of the video that it shouldn’t be that they are just based on the same animals, but essentially all these two have in common is they are starfish. And not even kind of the same kind of starfish. (They’re are around 1,900 varieties of starfish) And one shared typing doesn’t really cut it either. In the crab section you showed three Pokémon, krabby, corphis, and clauncher, which all share a type. These two lines don’t look similar at all and there role in battle is completely different. I don’t see it.
Are you sick? Your voice sounds funny.
Yeah, I was actually. I'm feeling mostly better now though.
He's seriously saying that all of the mushrooms are great except for the best one!
A lot Bakugan seem to have similarities to various Pokémon heck there’s even an ability card called Poison Fang. And also another Bakugan that being Fourtress has a similar sounding to a certain Bug/Steel type.
I'll take your word for it, Bakugan is actually a series I've never really interacted with at all. I even had more exposure to Beyblade...
@@emperorcubone I will say that the Turtwig is a slight rip off of the Bulbasaur line since both are cold blooded creatures who grow more plant life on their bodies as they evolve. But that’s to say I hate the Turtwig line cuz Turtwig’s actually my all time favorite Pokémon and I love Grotle and Torterra too I just wish that Ash’s Torterra wasn’t done so dirty.
I play a lot of Pokémon Go, so something I really like about the mushroom Pokémon is that they all drop extra stardust when caught. Normally Pokémon only drop 100 stardust, but all of the mushroom Pokémon drop 500 stardust, or 625 when weather boosted
Huh, I didn't even know that! That's cool; I guess because they put off a lot of dust?
@@emperorcubone I always kinda assumed it was an homage to FRLG. Stardust can be used to teach a Pokémon a second attack, so the mushroom Pokémon dropping extra stardust could be an homage to how in FRLG the mushrooms being held by the Paras line could be used for the move relearner on the Sevi Islands
I'm not sure I'd say "ripoff" and would rather call it a "trend" but Pancham and Pangoro are my favorite "two stage bears." I love the fighting/dark typing
Could just make a list of Pikachu rip offs
Well it says "Best" and not all of them are that great...
They're convergent
Well Marril is the closest one to be a Pikachu ripoff except it’s the water type version that later got a pre evolution and got a buff when it became part Fairy
I mean like the real world there are creatures similar to each other or from same family I don't like calling them "rip-off"
Do you like rolycoly or nacli better? they both have great qualities and ive used both of them, so it's hard for me to choose sides. they also have cool designs in my opinion. I love the ideas of piles of salt and coal. People might say they are uncreative but the "pile of__" designs always are cool to me (except for muk and grimer)
So here's the thing; I do not dislike Nacli at all, but I did ditch mine so I could use a Klawf instead because I liked him better. My brother kept his and loved it, and I do intend to use one my second time in Paldea, but so far I haven't used it so it wouldn't be fair to say until then...
Poor magcargo. having to see another rock and fire fully evolved pokemon which is actually good in battle
I'm slowly coming to terms with Tauros and Bouffalant not being connected. However if they do anything with Bouffalant in the future I think they should base it on a "Bison latifrons." I stumped upon this animal doing some research, it is an 8 ft tall Bison, it would make an awesome past Paradox form.
I do love me some bison, so I'd be all for that!
The much bigger crime is that Tauros and Miltank still aren't connected. The least they could do is give Miltank a 50% chance to hatch a Tauros like with Volbeat and Illumise!
Does Charizard and Typhlosion count they have the same stats and moves minus fhe flying moves on Phlosion and Zard not getting Erruption.
I mean, all the starters are similar to each other, but expectedly so. If there were another Fire rabbit starter for instance that might be a problem...
i love bouffalant, it saved my pokemon black nuzlocke when I lost some important members of my team right before the elite 4
Not gonna lie i am pretty sure i used a spidops throughout the entire main story of SV, i have no clue why, it wasnt the worst i mainly used it as a sticky web setter and used it to lower Pokemon's stats until it fainted or i'd switch to set up
If that worked for you then I'm glad somebody liked it. I just usually want my Pokemon to live a little longer and not just be fodder for something else to get the job done...
Bouffalaunts should have been tauros’ evolution
I think calling these “rip-offs” is a massive stretch.
It was a short bit, but just to say, Digimon is not and has never been a Pokémon ripoff. If anything it’s a Tomagotchi ripoff.
Oh believe me, I know! I actually preferred Digimon back in the day (maybe still do) so I had to defend it from many an accusation on the playground...
Lol, amoonguss and coalossal are such bad designs it hurts, btw, rip offs are:
Hypno = Musharna
Tauros = Bouffalant
Muk = Swalot and Garbodor
Grumpig = Oinkologne
Breloom = Shiinotic
Persian = Liepard
Xatu = Sigilyph
3:00 huh. here I thought you were going to say it was a rip-off of Ditto, since both use illusions and Imposter abilities.
No hate, but zoroark was a reach and a half
nice
nice
the odd number gens including mushroom pokemon is something i didn't know i needed
and they usually have great shinies
i'm looking at you shiinotic, your shiny sucks
the orange mushroom of parasect is great
i love the reddish orange color of shiny shroomish line
shiny foongus line is a freaking masterball (this applies to brute bonnet)
and toedscool shiny is great, being monochromatic and then being colorful when it evolves
True, the shiny versions are very nice!
Mereanie and toxapex are so far from staryu/starmie I'm just unable to agree that toxapex is that mons ripoff... if anything toxapex is supposed to replace the tenta line as a spec defensive water poison type since the tentacruel line never got any competitive shine...
I feel like some of these are a bit of a s t r e t c h
Toxipex is a sea urchin, not a star fish but most of these make no sense so whatever.
It actually is a starfish, called the Crown of Thorns. You can do an internet search, if you don't believe me. And you'll learn another shocking fact...Which is that starfishes don't always have five limbs. Some species have even more, like the aforementioned CoT.
I don’t think Spidops is that bad, I think it has its usefulness as a support Pokémon.
Zororark not a lukario ripoff
Naw naw naw Bakugan was an original concept you can’t call it a rip off
You can also consider Mareanie/Toxapex a ripoff of Tentacool/Tentacruel, as both are 2-stage Water/Poison types.
When you think about it, it is basically a mashup between the two!
Until gen 4, every Normal type cat was a rip-off of Meowth and Persian, since they all were Normal type and 2 stage.
However, ever since gen 5, we haven't gotten a regional cat in every generation. Yes, gen 6 gave us Espurr, but you can hardly call it the regional cat and gen 8 didn't give us a cat Pokemon at all (We have more dog Pokemon than cat Pokemon at this point). However, we do have more feline than canine starter Pokemon (2 feline with Litten and Sprigatito and 1 canine with Fennekin).
Tallow/Swellow are a rip-off of Hoothoot/Noctowl (I don't count Spearow/Fearow or Doduo/Dodrio here, since they aren't since as the regional birds), while Starly line is a rip-off to the Pidgey line, as both are 3 stages.
Another potential rip-off are Pincurchin and Pyukumuku, especially design wise (Body type).
I don't know, I think most people still consider Espurr the regional cat, even if it's not a direct rip-off of Meowth. If it's just the bipedal nature of it that's it question then Purrloin would also be knocked out...
@@emperorcubone Thats true. It might be considered the regional cat, but i don't consider it as such (And no, not because of its typing, since i still consider Purrloin/Liepard the regional cat).
i Wanted bouffalant To Receive A New Form. A Fighting Type Variant Of bouffalant Sounds Awesome, Or Even An Ancient Paradox Pokémon Of bouffalant. Here’s Raging Horns, A Rock/Fighting Type Paradox Pokémon And it is An Ancient Ancestor Of bouffalant And it is Said To Be Strongest Rock & Fighting Type Pokémon, bouffalant is A BLAND Pokémon. So A Paradox Pokémon Of bouffalant is A Must. Maybe in The DLC.
Generation 11? What about Gen 10?
Well like I said, the pattern is odd numbered gens only...
Right, right.
How didn't u include the whole gen 5 here. Is all literally knock offs of the previous gens, specially since they had to make an equivalent of everything cus there were no previous gen pokemons on that one xD
Define rip-off, cause I think I'm missing something...
Digimon isn’t a Pokémon rip off it’s a rip off of something else
8:43 Flying/Dragon make Electric neutral
Yeah, that's what I was saying; it's more resistant to Electric than the other Flying bats would be...
Cmon don’t do spidops like that
You would enjoy cassette beasts it’s way better than Temtem
I've never heard of that one before!
@@emperorcubone look it up it’s fun
I’d love to see more Pokémon like Furfrou. Not a lot though. Just a few so it won’t lose its charm. Furfrou is more dog than Pokémon and that’s why I love it. It stands out for being more like a real life animal and that’s unique.
Would it also specifically be able to have different designs like Furfrou?
@@emperorcubone that would be cool if it did. Customization is always a fun feature 😁
I feel the same with Stoutland as well.. feels more dog than Pokemon.
But maybe make it more versatile
Like don’t restrict colours
Ticks are arachnids too so yeah bro you know so much about fake animals you should learn a little more about real ones
So first you claim that a similar real world species alone doesn't constitute a ripoff, but then you proceeded to fill half your list with Pokémon that have little visual nor functional similarities other than being of a similar species to the one they're supposedly ripping off. Way to break your own rules!
Pikachu
You mean the Pika clones, or are you saying Pikachu is somehow a rip-off?
Tauros should’ve evolved into Bouffalant
Cool idea. But what would it gain by doing so? Both of them look similar and their stats literally the same but rearranged also.
@@GoinGreninja I would’ve increased Bouffalant’s stats, particularly Physical Attack and Defense
@@macwelch8599Not a bad plan, all around, even if their linkage is a bit too much like fitting a square peg in a circular hole.
I think they could have been like Hitmomchan and Hitmonlee kind of thing
@@tiagocardosom That, I can agree with. A baby form that links up Tauros, Miltank and Bouffalant would've been quite nice, I'd say.
I'm ok with Rolycoly and I quite like Coalossal, but gosh dang do I despise Carkoal.
The idea itself is fine but it is so ugly and disonant. It looks like something out of Banjo Kazooie a lot more than it does pokémon. They made it a point to make it not just stupid looking but also ugly.
Talk about a middle evolution we could do without.
Hmm, the Banjo Kazooie comment isn't wrong, but that somehow gives it more charm. I'd love to see an old school low-polygon Carkol in a game like that!
even tho araquanid name is based on arachnid our little fella aint based on spider at all. Soooo not even close to being similiar/rip-off
It's literally based off of the Diving Bell Spider, who carries around a bubble filled with air underwater to hunt for prey. Gamefreak just inverted the notion instead. So yeah, definitely a spider, even if it's not exactly a lookalike.
Not sure why you think that; if it's just because it only has six legs, that's actually ALL of the spider Pokemon, so that would make them more connected...
@@emperorcubone Except Spidops which actually does have eight...But two for each side gets conjoined use with its legs and even its arms when it's not doing silkweaving.
Sorry man this video is bad
Well please elaborate, so that I might do better in the future!
@@emperorcubone normally enjoy your videos but I felt like this one just isn't hitting. I think it's just the term rip-off in the title doesn't work with what you're trying to convey.
@emperorcubone i think the vid is fine maybe a worst rip offs would be better maybe
Worst rip offs
