About Pikaclones

[@SpookyShadyGemlin]

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.

[@nunyabiznes33]

Yeah, a prehistoric Pika would be nice.

[@floofzykitty5072]

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.

[@BudDinktrap]

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

[@ballisticbuddha]

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.

[@daveprice5911]

gives strong saiki k energy in my eyes

[@gaminganimators7000]

Probably intentional as they're making their own game

[@michaelcarlton1484]

I actually really like the glasses on the original Chippu. I can see those animations working really well.

[@ZitroKingCX]

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...

[@FrostGlader]

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.

[@TDIfan10]

There was Wynaut as well. But those two babies were the only Pokémon related to old species.

[@jaschabull2365]

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.

[@TDIfan10]

@@jaschabull2365 what about Chingling and Budew?

[@jaschabull2365]

@@TDIfan10 I said "only". Unlike in gen 3, gen 4 had lots of evolved and unevolved forms for pokémon from gens 1 and 2.

[@MoonMoon-cl4co]

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

[@skwovetsquire2862]

Same

[@nullpoint3346]

I love the idea of them.

[@indisplutably]

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.

[@DemoR]

To add to the full cheeks idea: turn them into speaker diaphragms that blow out like the stuffed cheaks when playing sounds?

[@yugimuto1639]

​@@DemoRyou sir are a genius

[@bunbox]

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.

[@joshikyou]

I first chippu reminded me of pibby, but other than that, it indeed was adorable

[@fortello7219]

The first design on Chippu is by far the best. You should pull more from that version on designs

[@jennifer-a-y]

Yes.

[@128Gigabytes]

100% it was cute af

[@ArchieN1761]

I really got sad when irndrifted away

[@Yuboh_Con]

Wrong opinion (I liked the first design)

[@gameplanetanimations]

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.

[@borgus11]

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

[@LeBongFairy]

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

I really like that you make your own music for the videos, avoids copyright and it’s cute

[@techno_otaku]

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! ☺️

[@jjacks50]

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.

[@Zadanoire]

*honestly both versions 1 and 3 of Chippu are really cute but HOLY SHIT the final form is perfect!!*

[@capuchinosofia4771]

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

[@noahnaugler7611]

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

[@Dingobabee]

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

[@Echeveria]

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

[@theman5921]

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]

This is not true, it was just a normal image of Marill

[@nyuh]

a day when n0rtist uploads is a good day :) edit: whoa i loved seeing you iterate through chippu designs really inspiring !!

[@OceanFragments]

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.

[@SomniaCE]

I love all of Chippu's designs but the glasses really were my favorite iteration. Such a cute idea!

[@SapphyTaffy]

Pikachu is technically an invasive species; each Gen (except Gen 2) have their own Pikachu-like species.

[@ksternberg7407]

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 👍

[@7RStudios]

This is a great walk through the artistic process. Thank you for sharing!

[@luckypeanut9943]

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 !

[@ilyatepeyolotich6459]

Huge chunky pikachu is soooo great in your style

[@dwreanchinotan]

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.

Pikablue was a latino rumor that if you feed 50 water stones to pikachu he would become pikablue once traded to the new pokemon game(silver wasnt even in beta when the rumor came out) it came from an oficial pokemon magazine(only had 4 issues beacuse it had rumors like that or the classic truck mew)

[@TricksterZorua]

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.

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

The world needs more Pachirisu clones, don't kid yourself.

[@lob0_940]

holy damn found bout ur channel on ever green 7 and i dont regret looking it up! your videos are so cool!

[@qs-ii1872]

Pika-blue was a leaked Pokémon misunderstood as an evolved form of Pikachu, leading to the fanbase giving it its name. Once it appeared in the anime prior to its revealing in-game, setting its status as special in the eyes of many trainers. Probably already aware but I wanted to specify the context there.

[@Billyblue98]

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.

[@AIRYHFJONEIRL]

I love your art so much it's just so squishy

[@RubberCrowy]

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.

[@endobendo7457]

Had an idea for a little science based Pokémon based on redshift. (Process of light losing energy and decreasing in frequency as it travels through space) My idea was the Pokémon would start out a purple/violet color with a fire/psychic typing because it’s high energy. As it evolves it becomes red and gains an ice/dark typing symbolizing it loosing its energy. I thought it was pretty cool cuz it changes up the traditional red = fire type and does the opposite. Plus it gives an easy explanation of redshift.

[@AngryMothNoises]
