Creating New Starter Pokémon! | Croneo Region

[@mranima748]

Pladmiral would be my fave, and also thanks now I have another region to watch since most of the ones I was watching were coming to an end/already ended

[@CroneoRegion]

Well luckily, Croneo is just beginning :)

[@thatonetiredfrog.2426]

I AM IN LOVVVEEE WITH FLAMOO AND ITS EVO! Furnox was a teeny bit disappointing but i can live with it, if this was made into a game i would definitely pick Flamoo.

[@Gamer_Dylan_6]

I wish Furnox kept the highland cow hair. If it did that, it would be 10x better. And it's called FUR nox. It should have fur.

[@borkasaur]

i love that you clarified that not EVERY emo person is just a moody teen, it's super refreshing! everyone pegs emo/goths as "just a phase" and i really appreciate you respecting it as the lifestyle it actually is! AAALSO all of your designs are so charming and fun and creative!! absolutely one of my favorite fakemon creators ive come across 💞

[@CroneoRegion]

I want to make sure everything I say, cover and show is as inclusive and understanding as possible as that's very important to me. Thank you for the kind words!

[@caolanochearnaigh9804]

Emos and goths are different, dammit!

[@ja_cow_ski]

I love the moody teen middle stages, and it’s about time the fire starter has one!!! I’m a huge Drizzile fan lol

[@anyathepanther7977]

The Ember Tag on Flamoos Ear is such a cute Addition😊 I always go for the Fire Type and this does not change my Tradition!

[@lindsaystevens4062]

Buttercub's design is particularly good as far as a lion cub goes because as young cubs, all lions will have spots. Most grow out of that as they get older, but some do not

[@silverstorm3729]

Amazing fakemon! I love all of them, I'm not sure which I would choose if given the chance. I think maybe Flamoo, the shift from cute to cool works so well, and a blacksmith fire ox just appeals to me somehow. Your process was really well thought out and cool to listen to!

[@CroneoRegion]

Just wait until you watch the SECOND starter video about a further 3 options

[@a_Champignoue]

Ok. I am late. Loving these. I have move ideas: Pladmiral: Poisonous Grenegg(grenade egg) 80 power poison type move Physical. - hits both foes Has a 20 % chance of lowering their sp def and an other 20% to poison. Other moves include aqua jet, liquidation, waterfall, sucker punch superpower Leonage: Fairy roar 60 power fairy type move Special. - sound. - hits both foes Boosts its and his allies attack stat by 1 stage and then attacks (kinda new mechanic-boosting before attacking) Other moves:noble roar, petal blizzard, moonblast, energy ball hyper voice, aura sphere Furnox: Blacksmith's Wrath 90 power Steel type move Physical Boosts itself andits allies defense stage by one then attacks and has a 20% chance of lowering the foe's defense. Other moves: earthquacke, iron head, blaze kick, stone head. Move your ideas and concept. Each starter has a signature move based on his secondary typing. Also i think Leonage doesn't sound really fairy to me, but that's my opinion. Edit: I saw the second video... My bad. Even though i think they should get different signature moves.

[@borealmind]

Lol the Plottwist at the End😅 Really didnt see that coming

[@ItsAmplified]

Gotta admit, Furnox is probably one of my favorite fakemon designs I’ve seen

[@jamiedeering3400]

Thanks for making a cat/lion/tiger and cow/bull starter Pokémon that start on all fours and stay on all fours. Something other fakemon regions and Pokémon company seem to be scared to do

[@CroneoRegion]

I have nothing against bipeds as I'm sure you can guess. I just don't think it's strictly necessary in order to have an anthropomorphic design. Ultimately I just use vibes to determine this and that's how they ended up that way

[@SoftwareLearningify]

I like the concept a lot, I’m probably picking the water starter, but I LOVE the concept of furnox, it’s super interesting and I like a lot of the more unpopular fire types like emboar and delphox a lot, so I don’t mind it lol I was expecting pladmiral to be a kind of ghost soldier or something because we NEEED more water ghost types, but water poison works just as well

[@scodeknight3178]

Actually you could argue with the role based on, roles of war, The grass type is like a farmer, and farms definitely played a big role in war, you’ve got a blacksmith and a flat out soldier

[@PokeBrawlYT]

This was an amazing video, it was so entertaining to watch, keep it up man! I would definitely choose the grass starter, but it was a tough choice to make, cuz all the starters were cool as Frick, and you can see in my fakemon videos that I like cool stuff. Anyways, hope to see more great videos in the future!

[@DerpHavenn]

i can also see 'liege' (as in one who rules, such as a king or emperor) as another pun for Leonage, since it seems to have that royal personage. azaleo's front paws especially look like gloves, giving it a sort of 'aloof prince' appearance.

[@lindsaystevens4062]

Those are brilliant! I'd choose Buttercub personally

[@timelyenigma]

"Currently part of the UK" Scotland Independence Now Also Temocoo has a cutiemark :)

[@tristarnova3454]

I think the theme of the starters are fighting aquatic animals for water, mythological domesticated animals for fire types, and ancient forest animals for grass types

[@Lincolnrocknroll]

Honestly, these are great fakemon! Just 2 small things I would like to say: 1- Starters tend to be somewhat simple, but some of these are a little overdesigned. The grass one could've had less yellow spots. 2- Pokémon who change color when evolving tend to have darker shades on the middle/final form. The fire initial would look more appealing (and starter like) if the brown parts had a lighter shade. I hope my comment don't let you down, cause I really liked the video. Good job.

[@CroneoRegion]

you're not the only one to mention about the over designed element. I personally feel the Fire starter turned out perfect but I get what you mean. making fakemon is a learning experience so don't worry xD

[@8CD8]

Water has the best first evolution, fire has the best second, and grass has the best third in my opinion. I think my favorite is definitely the highland cow one though, such a good idea and I would love to see a highland cow specific line.

[@kiamcaughman4836]

Definitely going with the Buttercub line, it's so cute & love the final evo

[@Sylaphy]

Oooh, these starters look nice! I think my favorite is the grass type. I've always liked cats. :)

[@CroneoRegion]

you may like one in the secondary trio in the second video ;)

[@KingBanjo1217]

Furnox kind of sounds like “Burn ox”, so that could also be a name inspiration, even if it wasn’t intentional.

[@theSBC1409]

A Pladmiral?... *gasp* PERRY THE PLADMIRAL!!?!!

[@yoda_2]

As a grass type starter lover I LOVE BUTTERCUB

[@venomgaming7014]

“Grass fairy has not been done before” Tapu Bulu:

[@CroneoRegion]

What game is Tapu Bulu a starter? Tbh I could have written that line in the script better, but I did think it was implied since I mentioned a Grass/Poison starter already happened

[@Bismarck-S]

Furnox is my favourite.

[@horisan5633]

Furnox line is solid

[@cabbage_what]

as a nova scotian i am excited to be mentioned

[@edenanimates1465]

“A platycruit?” “Perry the platycruit?”

[@PewterCityJim]

100% picking that Fire Starter. I know Mom is good for the cash, lmao!!

[@familiauribemoscoso7552]

I would absolutely pick Platycruit cuz Pladmiral is super cool and I LOVE platypuses

[@odistabettor]

really like the shinies

[@gimbo4025]

FLAMOO BABY COW BABY COW BABY COW that is the one i will be picking! im a huge fan of fakemon regions and watch most ones i come across. excellent job! i will definitely be subscribing and watching the rest in this series

[@halcyonacoustic7366]

Not gonna lie, Platenant and the Emo middle stages made me squee. So adorable!

[@leonardooberdadealmeidamon2305]

So i just wante to say that "Leo" is not just latim for lion, but also my name! Actually my name is Leonardo, what you can kinda say Leonage has on it's, and dispite Fairy-type been my favorite type, Flamoo is tio cute! I can't just don't choose it! Quick ficture, i have see this video after all the others with the only other exections been the other starter video, the one year aniversary video, the box legendaries video and the Scottish pokemon video.

[@leonardooberdadealmeidamon2305]

Also Matt, i'm just gonna say it right now, i'm not gonna be here on your channel ever again!

[@heyitgeg]

I love the fire starter's last stage. Imo it is the best of the three. One note I wanna make though is that you made the grass starter the weakest by giving the fire starter two types that are super effective against it and you gave the water stater poison type which is 4× effective on it since it has both grass and fairy. I love the designs but it is not very balanced.

[@CroneoRegion]

I didn't think too much about balancing within one another. plus by the time you'd fight them in their final stages there's plenty of Pokémon to combat them

[@heyitgeg]

@@CroneoRegion That's a good point, I guess I just usually see balance between the starter trio, and like it that way. Although its not always the case even with main series pokemon games.

[@pyrostorm1700]

This is really cool

[@Bismarck-S]

[@TrialosGames672]

I LOVE THIS!!! IM FROM SCOTLAND!! I LOVE THIS

[@amybremer8961]

i'll choose the grass starter

[@finnover9781]

It's also rather appropriate that you named that fire cow after Genghis Khan, seeing as he actually had red hair in real life (implausible though this may sound), and the cow clearly has red fur.

[@CroneoRegion]

It was my brother's suggestion! He's a blacksmith himself so he made a connection and I got inspired!

[@minccinoshiny]

I LOVE FLAMOO SM I WANT ONE

[@obnoxiosefe2180]

Not gonna lie platicruit's final evo could have been fighting if mewsifurr never existed and if platipusses (thats their real plurral name use it to annoy your friends) weren't toxic Edit:brand actually means uncontroled fire

[@CroneoRegion]

before I had the idea for the secondary trio, the Water starter was actually gonna be a fighting type

[@CroneoRegion]

It looks the same as both but thanks for saying they're all amazing :)

[@heartless2412]

@@CroneoRegion no problem! Love your concept of a Scottish region

[@DaSleepingKing]

i think flamoo shiny could work as its original for a more orginal fire starter color scheme

[@CroneoRegion]

I think the conventional colour schemes help to secure its role, and the shiny is designed to showcase the steel type. I'm glad you really like the shiny :)

[@niccololugli62]

I think that the designs are maybe a bit too cluttered and complex for official Pokémon standards, but I really like them and would definitely choose the water starter.

[@CroneoRegion]

I think their complexity is what makes them unique, but thank you for the honesty and I'm glad you enjoyed them :)

[@yeetyafi]

Great video Matt! I would pick Furnox.

[@pink_parade2900]

I love these though I am sad to see the highland coo drop off in the final stage.

[@CroneoRegion]

sorry to hear that you have that opinion. I'll do better next time

[@scodeknight3178]

Oh a Scottish region looking forward to this

[@Joulederschreckliche]

Very nice fakemon and love the spin on the "gifted" starters. You alluded to a special feature with pokemon eggs. Is there a video or a post where you go further into detail on them?

[@CroneoRegion]

It's to do with egg groups. I'm still working on finalising what the gimmick is. It'll basically be stat changes based on egg groups when the gimmick's item is activated

[@kayleighlehrman9566]

A Pladmiral? (puts on fedora) *Perry the Pladmiral???*

[@jackepicspeederwolfaj2294]

u couldve said furnox also had the word "inferno" in it but thats kinda a stretch

[@CroneoRegion]

I think furnace and inferno are derived from similar words anyways

[@BaxterAndLunala]

2:09: Yeah, like how 'Noveria' is a combination of nova and Siberia.

[@intergalactic92]

I like how you feel the need to caveat that "maybe the Zodiac thing isn’t true after all" yet still act as if supposed links for the other types (which were always more tenuous) are fact. Cool designs though.

[@CroneoRegion]

I think I did specify that they're theories but it's been about a year and a half since I watched it

[@damrflamingdragon7771]

I like them but the fire and water starter are both effective against the grass which imbalances it a bit

[@CroneoRegion]

I wasn't really thinking much about how well they interacted with one another, more just their individual concepts. Also, Empoleon from Sinnoh was weak to Fighting and Ground so had the same dynamic as Leonage.

[@Dr.Disney]

Dibs on Flamoo! All 3 are great!

[@Alice-zy6gj]

i know theyre your pokemon and you can do whatever you want but dont you think pladmiral fits better with a fighting type secondary? it would also make a second type triangle grassfairy>firesteel>waterfighting>grassfairy

[@CroneoRegion]

I was highly considering it, but ruled out Fighting since there is already a Fighting type Starter option. There's 6 choices not 3. The other 3 are in "More New Starter Pokémon"

[@Alice-zy6gj]

@@CroneoRegion oh sorry i didnt see that one

[@JPRAGG]

Pladmiral should have been Fighting to make a better type triangle

[@CroneoRegion]

I decided against it due to the existence of Mewsifur as a Fighting type starter

[@gabriellockwood2780]

So, Lt. Surge will appear at some point in this Region and recount his time in the war, and how hard it was to take down this army-even though his troops were equipped with Electric and Grass Types...

[@Bismarck-S]

I must say the grass starter has HORRIBLE matchup against the others.

[@CroneoRegion]

so does Empoleon tbf

[@SomeonesBestFriend11_SBF]

Leonage is quad weak to Pladmurals second type, I dunno if you did that on purpose and I've not read other comments but I thought I'd mention that, they all look cool in their final forms and cute in their first stage though.

[@CroneoRegion]

I don't see the issue, as Charizard is quad weak to rock, and Infernape is super effective against the other Sinnoh starters. It wasn't intended, but I don't see why there needs to be intent. I picked the types that best reflected the concepts

[@SomeonesBestFriend11_SBF]

@CroneoRegion infernape is still strong against Torterra, but a grass fairy wouldn't be strong against a water poison, type, it's like if you use grass on a Tenetacool, it's not strong against it

[@SomeonesBestFriend11_SBF]

Torterrs amhas an edge over both of it's alternatives, but at least it's still weak to Infernapes fiest type l, Empoluob is weak to both final forms but is still strong against infernapes fire with it's water half But your atarters' final forms are skething else, while the fire starters complatetlyndestorys the grass so does the water one by the end of the game anf with 0 super effective hits with poison resorts fairy and grass, so one of two ways for Leonage to super effectively hit Pladnural is withva ground ot psychic move, of course unless someone completely solo's withbtheur starter they'd have sonething to deal with it but still

[@CroneoRegion]

All I was saying is that unbalanced trios have happened before. I don't think it's too egregious. Thank you for the comment, I just disagree.

[@SomeonesBestFriend11_SBF]
