ELEMENTAL VARIANT Pokémon Mechanic!

[@KN-oc7cu]

I love this a lot! The only thing I think i would change personally is that taking the item off can still be used by other Pokemon, but it just empties all of the essence when taken off. I think that's more intuitive and also means if you wanted to take it off to evolve your guy into the original type, the item isn't wasted. Plus it makes it easier to change your mind if I thought i wanted electric but i really want fire. I just take it off and give it back, selecting a new type

[@ferociousfeind8538]

Take the flask from the pokemon, and that empties the flask, ready for use elsewhere!

[@Cybemon539]

I definitely love the Ice Variant of Centyrant. It gives off a mystical/fierce sage vibe along with looking like a mix between a Centaur and a Yeti.

[@bilsuart]

True!

[@mauroperez2848]

The concept of elemental variants for different pokemon is ingenious. It fits perfectly with how some zelda enemies have different variants based on location and the elemental flask connects it beautifully. The Lycub line is just amazing. It's nice to see some pseudo-legendaries that aren't dragons. The evolutionary method for the line is nuts with how much you have to do to evolve into its middle stage. The elemental forms for Centyrant look crazy. If I had to pick a favorite by design, it would have to be the toxic/malice variant. The electric one is my personal favorite and the one I would want to use.

[@jessicastreeter8688]

No, the concept for different elemental variance of Pokémon is exactly what digimon is

[@chaosmiles07]

Brilliant idea! And expandable, too! If anything, Pokémon with new elemental variant types can just gain new elemental variants, and that can be your "DLC"!

[@bilsuart]

True!

[@leonardooberdadealmeidamon2305]

Agreed! It could give a new view to the pokemon games but, i actually already had this elemental variants on the last year, but mine are actually more like a transformation then a elemental variant if you can understand. What i meant is my mechanic is more like a mega or gigantamax then a secondary kind of regional variant, get it?

[@chaosmiles07]

@@leonardooberdadealmeidamon2305 So... like Terastal?

[@leonardooberdadealmeidamon2305]

@@chaosmiles07 Kinda. Actually it's a special mechanic that would be related to the legendary pokemon. Actually, it's terastal but with special forms.

[@Abegilr_Dragonrider]

I like how the knuckles and the eye on the Malice variant's hand makes a sheikah symbol. The lightning variant is also really cool!

[@Gazing-09]

Duuuuuude... This is boss! You basically optimize your team anyway you want now!

[@bilsuart]

Pretty much!

[@juanrodriguez9971]

Really cool designs and an interesting mechanic, I just wanted to point out that at first Centyrant's pose looked awkward because the arm may look like part of its back, but then the alt forms came and because that made sense why the pose is good, that way you can show its "hands" way better.

[@nexel9141]

This adds many opportunities for any pokémon that may not have the best default type offensively or defensively. great work as always and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the series going forward.

[@LegendofKal]

I think the flask mechanic is a great addition! It seems to work similarly to the evo stones of pokemon, but in a more streamlined way. Also curious if it's only going to be the 4 elemental types you can pick from in the video, or if it will include more, like how Eevee has the 8 'special ' types as its evos. Also that Toxic Centyrant looks awesome, the neutral color scheme with malice accents works very well!

[@bilsuart]

Thank you! The choices of variants is all depended on the source material so for example the Octoroks from BoTW have like 6 forms

[@LegendofKal]

@@bilsuart ah, that makes sense

[@justanotherwoodfox]

the malice one is my favorite, great work as always! as others have stated, it's nice to have a pseudo-legendary that isn't a dragon. this is amazing, can't wait to see what else you have in store :D

[@mich_sock]

Man, this is amazing! I seriously love this fan region! This is SUPER cool! I think that the way you make your Pokémon and all the designs you make are lovely! I can´t wait to see the rest of the region! The flask is an amazing idea and super interesting. I can´t wait for the next episode. Love your work, hope you never stop making! Can´t wait for the full dex. Man, I seriously hope that when the dex and lore is fully fletched out someone is brave enough to make a fan-game!

[@crithsoul]

I LOVED THESE SO MUCH. And the fact you were able to give a lynel based pokemon 3 stages is mind-blowing.

[@InfamousTrainer]

BRO THESE ARE AMAZING! Like Champleon ALONE is on the TEAM! 🔥

[@IAMOness369]

Bro that's honestly a pretty dope gimmick I really think you're killing this s*** my man keep up the amazing work!👍💯😎

[@MSLBRAWL]

I'm glad this idea was chosen, I wonder how it would be done but looks like you thought of it! Also I had idea for Twilight! So I'm certain people know in Legends Arceus where there are random space time rifts and that they have a certain area covered. So what if at random points Areas of Twilight open like that? That would be anybody's chance to get Twilight variants of specific Pokemon!

[@tetrabelle]

Love the new mechanic and loving this series. The care and thought you were putting in is incredible

[@kaiser-frunn2880]

Yooo Looking awesome you’ve done the mighty Lynel Justice XD The Elemental Variant Mechanic is super interesting! Though I feel for those people who like too 101% the Pokédex by getting all forms may find it annoying, an upgrade to the elemental flask at some point that allows an instant change to form may be wise (maybe Implement the great fairy upgrades for this though I do suggest making it a real challenge to either reach or earn the favor of this particular Fairy) Out of the Centyrant Forms I definitely love the Electric one the most! gives me major Rajang Vibes and I love that Crazy monkey XD This Video has also got me very interested to see how you handle Moves and Move Pools though it will prob be easy “X will learn Flamethrower/Ice Beam/Thunderbolt at X level depending on form” and all that Thank you for the great video and see you in the next instalment of Link Dimension ^-^

[@seedsmyth]

Absolutely love the mechanic :) Can't wait to see what other elemental variants exist in Hyrule :D The Ice Centyrant is definitely my favorite :D

[@MomotheToothless]

I feel like Deerling and Sawsbuck are better examples than Oricorio, but that's just a personal preference. Great video as always 😆

[@diaborodevil3161]

I like the elemental flask idea can’t wait to see more and toxic type is the coolest but I’d probably train a fire one

[@NoSystemFound]

I LOVE the ice lynel, and I do think the elemental bottle is a really neat way of giving them elemental powers. However, I feel like deafeting one of each Pokemon in the each of the field regions is a lot, and probably wouldn't happen naturally. Maybe something simpler, like all of them in one field religion?

[@AwesomeMan14g]

You are literally my favorite KZbinr right now

[@bilsuart]

Awesome 🤩

[@Sniper-fv2of]

I absolutely love this idea! The designs for all of them are all amazing. I personally really love how the Lycub evolves as well! Good job

[@MasterBlade111]

This has quickly becoming my favorite YT channel. I love this

[@bilsuart]

That’s an awesome compliment thank you!

[@evilgabe]

this makes me want to play it even more

[@dallinadams9422]

Just like Pokemon's regional alternate typing or the several evolutions of Evee. Very creative, provides more customization for your party. It would be cool if there were more differences between the variants other than just the skin though.

[@bilsuart]

I try to mostly match the source material for the variants so the Lynels in reality aren’t really much different looks wise but things like the Octorok Fakemon has more differences!

[@jillesvandermolen4594]

Love the electric one the best. It’s like a thundercloud with horns and claws and hooves. Great work and cool mechanic!

[@bilsuart]

Thank you! That’s my second favorite!

[@bloxfox6361]

Another great video as always, the flask is a super different and creative idea! Very cool!

[@Garmesis]

Everything about this video is amazing! I like the satyr intermediate evolution!

[@violetbrokeagain]

Big issue I have with the transition from Champleon to Centyrant is its proportions virtually don't change at all, which takes away from the feeling of progression in the design. Love the gimmick tho, it's something we haven't seen before and it fits great with the region!!

[@monelmonelmonel]

Yeah, I wish Champleon were smaller and hunch backed

[@thatoneguy5187]

Champleon is 5’5” and Centyrant is over 12’ tall so that would definitely make up for it.

[@violetbrokeagain]

@@thatoneguy5187 That's not what I mean. A good design progression should make increases in size apparent by simply looking at their relative proportions, like for example how first-stage starters have bigger heads relative to their bodies than their evolutions, which have about the same head size, but their bodies are visually much larger by comparison

[@the1sar598]

Definitely an interesting concept! My favorite forms of centyrant are the ice and malice ones. The color schemes on both are so good. Can't wait to see what other sorts of elemental variants we'll see!

[@shemhazi]

BRILLIANT! That Elemental Flask is a real game changer! It opens the door to so many evolutionary possibilities! And I would certainly have to agree with you on the Warrior/Toxic Centyrant. That one is the COOLEST! I'll be looking forward to seeing you on the next video!

[@dekri9687]

This is so cool! Keep up the good work!

[@bilsuart]

Thank you!

[@Poseidonjd]

Terrific designs! My favourite one is the Electric Centyrant.

[@bilsuart]

I like that one a lot too!

[@omegadarkraix632]

These designs and mechanics are really cool, love the way you took on the challenge of different elemental enemies in the game/story. I really like the look of the ice type lynel

[@meganpayette5996]

This mechanic you came up with is pretty cool. Good job!

[@bilsuart]

Thanks!

[@leonardooberdadealmeidamon2305]

Wow! That is what i call MASSIVE!! In between Centyrant elemental variants, the malice form is my second one, my favorite is the Electric-type one! It's just so cool and i love it!🤩🤩🥳😎

[@adamkruze6918]

Mechanics definitely make sense. Can't wait for more

[@bilsuart]

Thank you!

[@finiraelkhami8251]

It's a very cool concept. The only thing I would point out is how the Electric form of Centyrant only has a symbol on its fist whereas the other form have fists covered in their respective element. Still amazing tho

[@HitsujiMamoru]

I love the idea. This is shaping more and more like a very cool spinoff^^

[@ohtobealizard1178]

This is super awesome! It brings that little something to filling out the dex with the new elemental types. Like if the dex for the them wouldn't be truly complete until you have all versions of it. Loving it!

[@GoofyBananaOfficial]

THIS IS AMAZING! I LOVE THIS NEW MECHANIC! Still wishing it was a rom hack XD! Also hope you remember me when you get like 1 mil subs!

[@KillerBlais]

This is very cool! I thought the video would go thru the Zubat line but this is much better. looking forward to more concepts!

[@bilsuart]

It will be a part of a video with a Chu Chu and Octorok Pokémon :)

[@Drag_on_king]

It's so cool. Love the ice centyrant the most. I love the idea of various type/forms.

[@joelbarr1163]

Having the flasks XP-based would make them very quick late in the game. Are the hidden EV gains still a thing? I think that rare/strong Pokemon used to give higher EV gains, but the values were still pretty flat over the course of the game

[@StrangeStartrackerArt]

This is a really cool concept for a game mechanic.

[@ikatulo_yt]

What a great concept, honestly you solved a really interesting situation, turning Zeldas reuse of models into a regional mechanic is just genius

[@stephaniewilliams2168]

How cool! Though, realistically, if this was a game I don’t think I’d have the chance of getting one to level 100… As for the look of Centyrant, I liked the electrical and toxic colors the most. The eyeball on the fist is a good thematic choice as well! I could see it being used in the wild similarly to why tigers have spots on the back of their ears: fooling others into thinking it has another set of eyes. Except in this case, it’d be more like not having a blind spot to use against Centryant…?

[@bilsuart]

Those are my two favorites :)

[@Krisspear]

Genius execution! Love the series.

[@BlockOFish]

Yoooo, I love the element mechanic so much! And even though this fakemon design wasn't made by you, I feel it still fits your art style. I'm with a lot of other people when I say it would be incredible if this became a game, but I know that's probably not what you're aiming for after you answered my previous question. But, one thing for sure, the project you do make after this practice is done is going to be absolutely incredible.

[@bilsuart]

I did the the final coloring and linework for the art, Daku had provided a sketch so it was kinda like a duo piece! And thank you! I mean if this project ends up getting an overwhelming amount of support anything is possible. Just atm I can only afford to do the art and videos with the time I have :)

[@BlockOFish]

@Bilsu Art That's awesome! That does make more sense lol. That's totally understandable. You have my support either way!

[@farpopcorn1565]

I like the macanic but I feel that it should have like another name like (insert name) ice form, also maybe a small bit in the dex based on each form but that might be to much to ask

[@Quack_Duck.]

I like all of these lyonels especially the ice one, keep it up!

[@godofdescord9607]

love love love SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS

[@quandale-gayming]

Wow this is a great idea and great designs. The electric Lynel is my favourite.

[@rpgrage7711]

Dude this is insane I love this concept like flask is BRILLIANT and the amount of team building you can do with pokemon that would normally not have type diversity it's so cool plus MULTIPLE SUDO LEDGENDS man this is by far the best fan region/fan game I have ever seen Ps I'm a hoenn baby as well GEN 3 FOREVER

[@bilsuart]

Appreciate it so much!

[@Getsugaru]

I like that you took a common pattern in the Zelda franchise regarding enemies and turned it into a regional mechanic that does more than give a single-use in-battle effect. It's really interesting. Lycub just looks grumpy and I love it. That Champleon can evolve as early as level 21 if you can figure out a way to beat one of each pokémon for Lycub without it reaching level 2 first (and good luck finding some way to pull that off) is an interesting spin on pseudo-legendary pokémon, as it rewards players putting in the effort so early on; I know I'd be one of the people to try and evolve my Lycub as soon as possible. Centyrant, meanwhile, is definitely a pokémon that you could build several teams around, especially with the variation between types (of which I cannot pick a favorite; they're all too good!) allowing for flexibility in your approach. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a boss/elite 4 member who just has a team of five Centyrants, one of each type.

[@smolitj]

I love the electric one! It has some of my favorite colors clashed into 1 design. The elemental mechanic is really cool and I would love to see it used more on other fakemons!

[@shizathoth4534]

I definitely love a pseudo you get in early game. I personally came up with a pseudo early bird with the same logic in mind. It was only able to reach its final form with a mechanic in the hypothetical game that replaces HMs, coincidentally a Zelda reference: a flute that you use just like the Ocarina.

[@echonvoid]

I agree the malice is my fav too, but they’re all pretty dope! I love the mechanics too!

[@megandavis3372]

I absolutely love this!!!!

[@supercouchpotato9698]

I think something that I would take into consideration for the elemental Lynels is that BotW / AoC aren't the only zelda games to have Lynels. While I do like the idea of using stuff from AoC, I think that the Dark Lynels from ALBW should be included. Maybe as like a secret extra or something? For the record, I think the elemental flask is a genius concept that I wish I could come up with, but I just figured I'd drop my two cents. Great video btw!

[@bilsuart]

Some creatures in Zelda that have multiple designs will have more than 1 Fakemon line representing them :) for example Keese having all sorts of different designs

[@TheDopeDunk]

Sir this is truly amazing and beautiful please continue to share more drawings with us!

[@bilsuart]

Plenty more to come!

[@Lazular]

I really like this mechanic and this new lign of pokemon, but I think you should make Centyrant’s torso more muscular, like more badass, because I think the design give the impression he’s not really more powerful than champleon. Oh and personnaly I prefer the ice version. In any case, I find your work amazing and I can’t wait to see what it will be at the end !

[@zackhoylandeif7598]

I would travel around the entire world with wet socks that never dry just so that I could have that electric centyrant on my party . Btw, I love drawing fakemon but I am not really that great, I know it takes lots of practice but if you had any tips on how to draw more dynamic poses or more symetrical shapes or even just any tips on shading I would love to hear them, keep up the amazing work, I go through every week just to watch these amazing videos. You're so underrated, you are the reason I have started doodling more often now. Thank you.

[@samsandwich211]

I'm losing my mind I love these fakemon so so much

[@tophatius7534]

Very smart idea involving the elemental variants for pokemon, that way certain pokemon could be balanced as being harder to get based on what pokemon types you can access in your current area of the game, i think it is a very smart idea that has a lot of fun potential, and could even have some lore connecting it to eevee which is basically 'the' elemental variant pokemon. Also the Lycub line is the perfect blend of awesome and cute, and i imagine the shiny form would give it's different forms stuff like the silver lynel colours, gold lynel colours, or savage lynel colours. Keep up the great work!

[@veggiedragon1000]

The lightning variant is definitely my favourite! The black body and glowing horns is just so cool.

[@fierceditiesnaruto]

I love the Elemental Flask idea!

[@fabienmorival669]

I love the elemental mechanic, this is awesome work. Although, I'm not really on board with converting exp into "elemental energy" for the pokemon to evolve. I was imagining something like elemental seeds. For instance, if your pokemon is holding a fire seed when evolving and can evolve into a fire form, it will do so, consuming the seed.

[@bilsuart]

I really wanted this Pokémon to be something that rewards people for committing to it and exploring during their journey but I see what you’re saying :)

[@CoralineDark]

Hello! I’ve been loving your Hyrule videos so far and have had a great time tuning in to each new one that comes out :) you make some really good quality content and some beautiful art with great concepts! Since you do seem a bit newer, I did want to give a small piece of constructive criticism for your thumbnail: the symbol for the electric type is very low contrast between the white bolt and the yellow backdrop, making it pretty hard to see (especially if you’ve got any sight/color impairment and since yellow is one of if not the hardest visible color range for the human eye to see). Since you’re using gradients already, perhaps gradienting out to a light orange would help? Keep up the great work! I look forward to more videos in the future :)

[@bilsuart]

Thank you so much! It’s all still a learning process for the video making side of things and yeah I agree with you! The type icons are almost two years old and I planned on making new ones in the future that fix these types of issues and look even more cohesive :)

[@SilverFoxSpirit97]

I love the new gimmick! It's such a clever and creative way to include LOZ's elemental variants whilst keeping to a pokemon-style game. Plus, even without that, I think the concept is really fun! I've always loved split evolution lines so the idea of getting to chose what design you want is awesome, also I can imagine it could help with type balance in a party. And don't even get me started on all the cool pokemon being in the late game. I understand why but I always end up catching a full team before I get to them and by the time I'm in their spawn areas I'm too attached to my team to change anything

[@EraidFreefire]

Getting backni to this after a break. Definitely interesting, and hope one day it becomes a game Edit: the lynle forms are so cool

[@herowither12354]

I love this gimmick, it's a great idea!

[@wellover100]

I love the design of the elemental flask! it looks so munchy crunchy

[@PrincessDella]

This is a really awesome idea! I love the Toxic Centyrant the most~ Will we get explanations for the battle abilities of the other Pokémon sometime soon? It’s pretty much the only things we don’t have much info on besides evolution requirements, which I believe have only been discussed for the Lycub line and Spiritedge… Those could absolutely be their own whole big videos though, probably once the full Dex is revealed.

[@sladevalen]

I really like the mechanic of elemental variants and it has me excited to do a mono ice run if this ever becomes a playable game.

[@gywii]

This art and designs remind me of classic Fakemon designs which I feel we've deviated from. It makes me nostalgic in a good way.

[@sub0yeti440]

The love the lynel line and the idea having to ability to get it a secondary typing and the lynel pokemon getting this is taking the idea of the electric lynel or ice lynel in age of calamity: hyrule warriors which i like alot and works with other types of fakemon.

[@zerikaz55]

The king returns 😊

[@mateuszczyzewski9646]

Yooo the toxic one is soooo gooood! Definitely on my team!

[@SapphireMan]

When I first heard about your idea for different forms of certain pokemon but with different types, I immediately thought of Oricorio. But your idea is so much more fun to think about how it would work during actual gameplay. The Malice-Centyrant and Ice-Centyrant are my favourite of the two, though the others are all pretty close to levelling the playing field… Like how Eevee has 8 different things it can evolve into, is Centyrant going to get additional forms (Eg: Blue-Mane, Black-Mane, White-Mane, Gold-Mane (all from BotW)) later down the line? Looking forward to the next bit of news for this idea.

[@herobizarre6010]

I can't wait to see the Keese and the Wizzrobe pokemon, those are gonna be awesome!!

[@adamusprime403]

I like the malice one the most, also here's a suggestion, make the shinies reference the various Lionel types in BotW, like Silver, Gold, etc.

[@bilsuart]

The shiny is actually the gold one :)

[@HateSonneillon]

These are all great, I especially like the first stage. I have some critique though. The perspective on the bottle looks off like its bending away from the viewer. The mechanic is a good but it could be simpler. Like it doesn't need to take away exp, because now that exp would be lost if you take the bottle away and if you want to prevent it from evolving you just press B assuming other common features carry over into this. Centyrant looks cool its left arm also looks kinda flat though and the fur on the elbow almost connects with the tail. Still, excellent work, keep it up!

[@remingtonspitz5311]

Ooo this is super cool!

[@andrewcotter2036]

The elemental variant mechanic is so fuckin' cool. I wish official Pokemon games went a little more "ham" when it comes to variants and split evolutions and such. It adds so much customization potential, and is also kinda more realistic since actual animals in real life can often be divided into multiple subspecies. In your case, it fits so well with the LoZ inspiration you're drawing from. Mwah, chef's kiss.

[@bilsuart]

Thank you so much! Glad you like them and I agree

[@softpaw6234]

Maybe there could be 6 flasks hidden throughout Hyrule, behind side quests that might normally have a bottle in other games (buy the first from a merchant, collect cuccos, -shooting- battle gallery, etc)

[@robomoneky82]

Personally my favorite was the ice one, but If this becomes a game, I'd be most likely to use the shock one as I also really liked the water starter line

[@devonteedwards2093]

The elemental mechanic looks really cool,and the forms from them are pretty awesome

[@bilsuart]

[@WaddleMoogle]

Really like the Lycub evolution method, it's really unique! I always liked outside the box evolution gimmicks. Though would there be a way to keep track of the "completion" anywhere? (an item, a unique Lycub-specific sub-menu, a NPC telling you when you show them a Lycub). Though having it more opaque would add a sense of old-school mystery, plus there aren't that many zones (10) so it wouldn't take that long to track one opponent of each group by doing some investigation on the Pokedex and then fast-travel there (since you can visit each zone a Fly-equivalent would likely be available by that point, plus the shrine teleportation if you kept the BotW mechanic). Sorry for rambling again, I'm a game design nerd and your game is so original and poses so many interesting design challenges (in a good way I mean, like puzzles). Keep up the good work! Can't wait for the ChuChu line with your new type-divergence mechanic. 🍮

[@Unloaded_Save]

Hey, I thought that a fankit might be a good idea. As a new video would go out, you could add whatever new art (new mon, items, etc.) from the video to the fankit.

[@skylargruhlke1620]

I like the concept and the idea that they also look different based on the environment they are found in like how Lynels in Botw live in different places all over Hyrule

[@roast_beef]

Just found your channel and im already subscribed

[@GamerFromJump]

I think that you’d also want to include some way of tracking the enemies you’ve had Lycub fight to evolve it. I could see it being a Key Item. NPC after being shown a Lycub: “Ah! I see you have a Lycub as a partner. They’re quite challenging, but can become a powerful teammate under proper care. The Lycub evolves when it fights every Pokémon in the Hyrule Fields. But it must defeat at least one of each. Take this. It will help you to keep track of your Lycub’s progress.” _Obtained Battle Notebook_ The Battle Notebook will automatically have its blanks filled with any Hyrule Field entries you’ve encountered. Any battle your Lycub wins will check off that entry in the Battle Notebook. Once all entries are full, you’ll get the signal that Lycub can evolve. I imagine it will work like _Legends Arceus,_ where you choose to evolve at will.

[@bilsuart]

That sounds like a cool idea!

[@BeyondHydro]

Initially when this was being described, i thought the need for the all the different areas for the evolution was going to tie into the final evolution. I really like the way the elemental flack but was wondering if the requirement to be in every area at least once was going to be something shared by other pokemon that are also meant to be extremely tough, with the overlap of elemental variend potentially being slimmer

[@finntastic6225]

First off, amazing idea. This actually introduces a good mechanic that everyone will utilize and has a lot of flexibility to suit whatever your team needs. I have one critique for the lynel though, personally, I believe that the evolution requirements should be switched. The Lycub should evolve at maybe around level 20 or 30, however you think will be best for balancing. And then Champleon should have the “kill all field Pokémon” requirement to evolve. That way, it will feel special and unique when your Champleon evolves. Furthermore, it suits the “king of the fields” title. How I see it, if you change this then the evolution will be a lot more poetic. Only the champion of Hyrule Fields that is capable of displaying their strength in combat to everyone in Hyrule Fielss can become the tyrant of Hyrule Fields. Hence Champleon becoming Centyrant. Also, because of level requirements rising exponentially, it’s much more likely for a player to try to reserve their Lycub and not use it so that to obtain a Centyrant, they only have to reach level 46 instead of a much more difficult level 76.

[@Fungo4]

What would happen if the one holding the flask defeats pokémon of different types? I really like the idea of getting this super strong pokémon being an investment you could spend a lot of time and planning on right from the start and all the way through, almost like Lycub is your own pet protagonist. There could even be small but dangerous areas optimized for flask-filling, that could in fact be in-universe training grounds for Champleons (you might have to fight one to gain access). Though personally, I would suggest that evolving Lycub should require a bit less "collecting", perhaps defeating one of the apex predator in each region instead (no need to prove your dominance over every bug and rodent).

[@bilsuart]

That sounds like a decent idea as well :)

[@bilsuart]

And since you pick the type from the start of equipping the item, as long as it has one of the types it’ll be okay.

[@jeremyberner5164]

Great video !
