The fun thing about hanafuda is that they actually DO have a connection with the Iberian peninsula! When the Portuguese traded with Japan they imported their playing cards which were made like cardboard tablets. After the ban on gambling in Japan hanafuda were invented as cards with flower motifs that looked more japanese. This type of card making fell out of fashion in Europe but the slappy paper wrapped cards were continued to be made in Japan!

[@c0mpu73rguy]

And it’s also what Nintendo started as more than a century ago, a hanafuda card maker.

As someone who already loved Meowscarada, that theme of a card suit, cherry blossom, magic cat is beautiful.

[@idkdy5972]

I love that you kinda did 1 of "every kind of mega" like 1 that just looks kinda like a new evolution (ie. Aerodactyl, or charizard X) 1 that puts focus on 1 design aspect and blows it up (ie. kangaskahn and slowbro) and 1 that just looks like a slightly different version of the base (ie Lucario, Blazkein, and heracross ) which I'm just realizing is mainly fighting types so maybe you're onto something there

they werent that good, unbalanced

[@0ceanicman]

Mega evolution is not a unique concept

[@renigate]

@@hi-wf9ql yeah but the concept was great, they could’ve improved upon it instead of completely throwing it away and adding random shit each gen

It's my least favorite gimmick by far, but I can see why people like it.

[@imnotgoodwithames5271]

I love all of the designs! I think you did an amazing job!

[@nerdtuga9180]

I love the Meowsquerade evolution! In Quackuaval's case I wish you made the feathers in his tail and head bigger and more colorful to emphasize the Carnaval exotic dancer motif

[@pineapplepearjuice6717]

Amazing video! I love how you expanded on each and everyone of the starters themes! On another note If you wanted to relate the cards to spain, the traditional cards here are wands, coins, cups and swords rather than the classical clubs, spades, hearts and diamonds, if you ever plan on revisiting this video's concept you could play with that aswell.

[@GetMadz]

woah I never knew that, thanks!

[@pineapplepearjuice6717]

@@GetMadz No problemo! I love sharing stuff about my country!

[@Sigmund_Froid]

Really love all the ideas that went into these designs! Mega Quaquavel looks awesome, and fits fight in with a lot of similar Mefas, like Lucario and Blaziken, as mentioned in the video! I especially love how the headband turned out, and the Rainbow feathers really elevate it to a top tier design! Mega Meowscarada looks pretty sick, though I kinda wish it expanded on the Puss in Boots concept more (though I think that's just my issue with Meowscarada to begin with) The Paw Eye might be too much as well, drawing a bit too much attention imo... The idea behind Mega Skeledirge is really sick, but I think the execution looks a bit Derpy... I think having Skeledirge be sranding slightly upright and having the Bird tower over it might sell the concept better! Still, pretty neat idea though! Mega Madz looks mad sick, really good design! Overall, pretty good! Would love to see more of these!

[@MunchyLikesOtters]

I LOOOVED every single evolution! Quaquavals tail changing colors was so charming, I just would have put the right part of Meowscaradas cape away.

[@EpicCreepuh]

It's impressive that you can get away with designing Pokémon in a different style to the original one without people claiming the designs don't fit the game well. I think it's thanks to the fact you drew the other Pokémon to make them all part of a similar style.

[@stormy_does_stuff]

Wow, another sprigatito enjoyer! Glad to see more of these 😊

[@erebys0845]

I love mega quaquaval, quite like meowscarada but despite regular skeledirge being my fav, the mega design of just adding a bird is kinda off, idk. i think its the length of the bird's legs plus how little the ribs connect to its body that makes the second design look odd. Overall tho, i absolutely love your quaquaval design, it is just *more* and, in this case, that is exactly how it should be. Love it.

[@solarboyaaron4652]

Meowscarada looks pretty good so I don’t really have any additions to suggest, Skeledirge could have the bird resemble Moltres and maybe be linked somehow into how Moltres are born? And Quaquaval is just. So so perfect. Love that funny samba dancing peacock so much.

[@wasntwas]

Finnaly! Someone else mentions meowscarades design was also based on a masquerade!

[@RandomBadAnimator]

5:55 "With flames over 5,400 degrees" madz: Ah yes four thousand and five hundred degrees

[@nyantails]

I think it would've been really cool if you made the Meowscarada mask look like a stealth bomber with the whole invisibility cloak, flower bombs, and just the whole sneaky vibe.

[@anthonytonythegeek5561]

The concept behind the mega Skelederge is beautiful, I love the idea that the borb becomes a majestic phoenix

[@azazelbuzz]

I am *obsessed* with mega Skeledirge. The bird talons becoming a ribcage is awesome!

[@MarcusMapua]

I also guess for another thing is that Meowscarada & Quaquaval will join the ranks of the group/faction of Starter Pokemon that despite the gender ratio, their design plus theme-origin heavily implies them to being Female Pokemon; just like they did with Delphox and Primarina

[@justanotherartist7463]

tbh these video style is really cool and I would LOVE to see more of it

[@dragonlancer78]

Just love that you have little buddy on beanbag next to you

[@TheLaggyAnimatorYT]

If you made the mega evolutions 3D models, I would honestly believe they sent you leaks for a 3rd DLC with legendaries! Awesome video and art!

[@NforRoNin]

Mega evolution was a blessing and a curse. It was the best mechanic but was so good no other mechanic will reach how good it was. Banger design tho

[@shi8387]

To add upon the description list of skeledirge, it's skeleton decal on its face is heavily reminiscent of dias de Los Muertos (day of the dead) decal, adding to the ghost theming. To further increase the ghost vibes, it's also a ghost pepper.

[@budkosin326]

Your fuecoco looks like a little buddy with legs from splatoon 3 he’s so cute!

[@Austin_the_Dalmatian06]

I would love too see more videos like these! As a huge fan of Pokémon, I must say, these are some great megas! Especially Meowscarada. You should definitely make more Pokémon videos like these. I would love to see them.

[@Joya97dm]

You are so talented! I'd love to see you collab with other pokemon or nintendo artists like Moxie2D to see what you can come up with

[@TheREALgeardogcat]

Mega Meowscarada definitely has to be my favorite! You did a great job on it! And Mega Skeledirge actually makes sense when it comes to bird! It's accessory gets the mega energy like Kangaskhan or Slowbro!

[@sumbreebro]

The omega duck. A fearsome and adorable beast

[@NeonTailz]

I think it would've been cool to have the fire bird on Skeledirge take it's soul and take it over. Then, reversion back to regular Skeledirge would put the soul back into it. I like an idea of a "shared body with 2 souls" kind of thing.

[@sallps9365]

I love mega evolutions,I'd wish that they would bring them back, awesome work btw!

[@blueblazeflame]

These designs actually look legit, I love these

[@misterzygarde6431]

I am already a fan of Mega Skeledirge and I could imagine it having Levitate what with the fiery bird lifting Skeledirge off the ground. Also it'd be nice if Protein and Libero's nerfs were undone since I think a Mega Blaziken situation would fit Mega Meowscarda. Also undo Battle Bond's nerf as well. Would love to see you do more Custom mega evolutions in the future.

[@mrcrisps2005]

Quaquavals eyebrows are just a headband now lmao That was very clever

[@GetMadz]

thanks! haha struggled with quaquaval but like how that part turned out a lot!

[@Murkrok67]

I really love your artwork for the official skeledirge , he was my starter

[@Sploof_]

I love this art style so much it's really beautiful and I love seeing stuff drawn like this

[@PhantomPainz_]

I feel like the bird should over power the Skeledirge and sort of resemble Moltrese to help that. The idea with this is after Skeledirge takes care of the bird, it now will take care of it. Plus their a team and you always have to lift up your team mates (literally or not).

[@X-Cite69]

I think everyone can agree that mega evolutions blow Tera types out of the water. Mega evolutions are extremely unique Tera types turn your Pokémon into a chandelier/Christmas ornament. Amazing video!

[@KTXPLOSION]

Yo these look amazing i wished that Skeledirge mega was more focused on it rather than the bird but overall ✨MATSAPIEACE✨

[@angelofhell3701]

Mega Quaquaval No. 009 - Scarlet Entry Due to the process of Mega Evolution, Quaquaval has sprouted much prettier plumage feathers. However, this is used to their advantage, aluring their foes with a hypnotic dance, only to strike with a powerful Aqua Step! Mega Quaquaval - Violet Entry Due to it’s Mega Evolution, Quaquaval’s fighting style has become faster, and many times stronger. It’s very kicks are on par with it’s rival’s, Mega Blaziken.

[@ZeraAxon]

0:57 The anger and excitement is perfectly in line with what I think the majority feels about that greyed out area

[@verylostdoommarauder]

Well, there is plenty of evidence for Kalos DLC. But I think that it's more likely that they would add Megas for the Kalos starters so that they can have a sort of contrast thing going on.

[@silveramyknux241]

One idea I had was, make Fuecoco’s final evolution mega have it’s body fused with the bird. Like it’s arms and foot be given the bird’s wings and legs or something.

[@maxmcculley675]

I would say the paradox Pokémon are the close to mega evolutions in looks and unique forms

[@supermemoluigi]

It would be funnier (and cooler) that Mega-Skeledirge keeps his feral crocodile appearence but it stands up in 2 legs with the help of the fire Fenix holding Skeledirge's Shoulders with his fire claws.

[@fishygobrrrrr493]

Another vid already?!?!? Good job madz👍

[@DMP64]

I'm from spain and I can't wrap my head around the idea they didn't make quaquaval dance flamenco, like, that is a missed oportunity.

[@ztheanimalcollector556]

This video is amazing especially the skeledirge mega in my opinion I could see game freak doing that or the other Idea you had with the chorus of fire birds but you should do more video like this and thank you for spending your time and creativity making these megas

[@Lily-20132]

I love mega evelotion just like u. Even if i didint experience mega evolution i still think its so cool. Im fuecoco team to and I love crocodiles. I love cats but i dont like most grass starters. I thought u would incorprate a magic wand and mabye a wand of grass/vines and mabye jungle blades. I really like The phoenix idea and I love it. In my opinion Quaxlys line is my least favorite of The starters. U acually took inspsration from mega lucario with more thing on the head but u did it on the tail instead. Luv ur vids madz :3

[@carmengomez8189]

Bravo "Applause" that's soo good. I wish they were all in the game

[@chillyshroom]

my fav is Meowscarada!! they look so cool!! this challenge is always so fun to watch, if you enjoyed it you should keep making some of these with your favorite starters!

[@MineNAdventurer]

One thing I think would be sick for Skeledirge's Mega is its firey bird merging with it to become giant fire wings making it resemble a Dragon as Crocodiles were originally mistaken as such creatures. The bird wouldn't really be merged fully, more just has become a much larger bird that rides upon it

[@macbat1826]

Its crazy how talented an artist you are! I think quaquaval and skeledirge were going to be really hard to figure out a mega for but i think you made their megas work so well!

[@rocioberni3186]

“Madz?” “Yeah?” “Are you making a website again?” “…nooooo”

[@agoodname7980]

Honestly I’d image the fire bird on Skeledirge would grow up, but at the same time helping Skeledirge to stand on its hind legs and look sorta like jetwing optimus from transformers or megadragonbowser from Mario + rabbids.

[@Nedoiko]

I love what you did with meowscarada! For skeledirge instead of a large bird, I'd maybe add multiple small birds with instrument shapes, during skeledirge s signature move, his main bird becomes a microphone, so it could expand from that idea

[@Monster674.]

Mega quakquavel Pokédex entry It’s said that it’s dances under the power of the mega stone can make them manipulate color to its whim and creating beautiful rainbow feathers that can make slaves through their hypnotic power! For both games because I can’t think of another entry!😂

[@Xman34washere]

Personally, I'd have done skeledirge with the tiny birds, but yours is great and I cannot draw

[@chickenanddoodles]

Dude Mega Quacquavel turned out so cool I think that one was my favorite!! I think Meowscarada was almost there but I was sort of expecting something with like floating cards maybe or like leaf thingies in the shape of different card suits, especially since 2 of them look a lot like leaves and clovers, spade ♠️and whatever the other one is called I forgor ♣️

[@ila_habsyi21]

Your Mega evolution design was great,but i think It's gonna be much more cool if the Phoenix come from It's mouth(i don't know if it would be silly for It's mouth to be open) and then circling It's body.Also the animation of the starter signature moves has to change like Flower Trick showing Mega meowscarada magic,the Phoenix in skeledirge charge into It's opponent in Torch Song,and Mega quaquaval lighten in Aqua Step

[@Eucalyptus_Sage]

Loved this video and the idea overall!!!! Now do it w every other non mega starters :)

[@Not_a_Lott]

honestly i really loved the 'choir of birds' idea for fuecoco's line but the giant bird on top of it is just so goofy that i think it's cool. maybe it has a special connection to moltres??

[@espeonplays_]

"give the cat a cloak" he said, and he was fucking right

[@ratman6754]

Skeledirge getting clowned on is such a nice change of pace. Meowscarada and Quaquaval always get insulted because “BIPEDAL BAD, QUADROPEDAL GOOD.”

[@HF-rr6kt]

You honestly nailed Quaquaval as much as you might of thought you didn't. Look up Carnival dancers as they are who it is based one. You'll get why it's fitting that everything just gets bigger and shinier.

[@barrymitchell7783]

LOVE this video pls make a part 2!

[@JunkJester6131]

I love these Mega designs, but if there's one I'd personally change, it's Skeledirge. The phoenix carrying it is cool, but alternatively, I think something better would be to have it phase into Skeledirge's body to make it a dragon instead of a crocodile. The Phoenix's beak would become a headdress of some sort, the talons would stay as a ribcage and feathers coming off the back would then resemble music notes. Bonus points if the music notes in Mega Skeledirge's wings have a pattern and, when played by an actual instrument, come out as the theme of Pokémon Centers.

[@TierowTheGoat]

personally i would have gone for a more t rex look for fuecoco but i think it looks cool

[@MsRGaymer4170]

Giving a Pokemon poker cards theme is also not very spanish, mainly because we also have our own deck of cards, that has coins, chalices, swords and clubs

[@ogknaut]

Woah, this is so awesome. Love your animation style! I totally agree with your instinct/restraint to change one major thing about Skeledirge, makes total sense when considering Slowbro etc. Just to make some kinda contribution- when you mentioned how squared Skeledirge's details are, it made me think that maybe the bird on its back could be tapping its (beak / talons) along Skeledirge's (back / stomach / snout) as if it was a xylophone? Really, I think a XYlophone reference would be a funny shout out to X & Y! Keep up the great work, just started subscribing :)

[@styx64]

Fuecocos bird is a reference to how birds will clean out bugs and other things I think it would be cool if for its mega to have its mouth wide open and have the inside looks a a nest or maybe a music staff

I love the Fuecoco mega but i feel like it would of been cool if the birds wings went on Fuecoco like a rib cage and the birds head is on top kinda like g max charziards wildfire move but if Fuecoco was under it

[@mayoshixi]

I think a Skeledirge mega-evolution could follow the same idea as the final boss from Mario + Rabbids kingdom battle. Skeledirge even has these blocky flames already!
