[@722lovemonkey]

@@erikikoy Oh yeah, good point. Also, looking at Rotatona, it does look like the kind of Pokemon to learn trickroom, so yeah it could work. Still probably wouldn't be a top tier threat sadly. It might have the bad speed for trick room but it doesn't look like it has much else going for it.

[@fastmovingvolcanomatter]

@@722lovemonkey Metronome doesn't actually work with Rollout, believe it or not. Only works when you manually select a move repeatedly, so moves like Rollout, Outrage, Fly, etc. that continue automatically don't work. If the ability were programmed in the same way (which it probably would be irl), that wouldn't work either, which is a shame. It could obvs be changed in a new game though. I don't think it'd be overpowered or anything either, since even with two Metronome effects going at once, you won't do more than you would with a Choice Band until the 5th hit (ar which point Metronome hits 2489 base power and Choice Band hits 2319). But even then there's only a 59% chance of hitting 5 turns in a row, so not all that worth it.

Love all three of these, I especially like to see an evolution for Rotatona. Next, I think the region lacks some big cool guys beyond the starters. Every region needs those star pokemons like Luxray, Gardevoir and Machamp. The kind of pokemon that stands beside an elite 4 member. I think a manticore pokemon could be really cool, we haven't see anything like that yet. A giant eagle with an interesting second type (maybe Poison or Ice) could be fun. I'd also love to see a Fighting type based on jaguar warriors. I know 3 stage evolution lines take more time so maybe design the last stages now and fill in the blanks latter on ?

(A bit late, but...) I don't know if this was intentional, but there's something about the Chispeka lore of leaving in shame after defeat but then returning stronger after training elsewhere that plays interestingly with the themes of tradition, community, and generational gaps. I could easily imagine one being the "signature pokemon" of someone else who *also* lost an important battle, and out of shame, left to train with other people such as the trainer. There's even an obvious, very Pokemon character arc about finding a new definition of strength and a new way to obtain it, specifically one that's very different from what they're used to.

[@willashley23]

I love the designs you've come up with for the Maza region! I think it'd be really neat to play with the Aztec gods Quetzalcoatl, Xolotl, and Huitzilopochtli for the legendary trio, or just part of the region's Mythical Pokemon. The former two are twins and share a fascinating creation myth.

Since you're looking for suggestions , a hummingbird pokemon would be perfect as not only are they a very famous and unique animal which hasn't yet been "pokefied", but they also have cultural ties with the real life region Maza is based on! In old Aztec culture hummingbirds not only represented the main patron god of the mexican people(Huītzilōpōchtli), but they were also thought to be the reincarnated spirits of warriors returning to the living world, so I think a ghost/fighting or ghost/fairy based on this myth would fit perfectly on the pokedex.

[@robertgronewold3326]

I had an idea for a pair of regional variants that would go very well with this region. Alternate forms of Gallade and Toros based on bullfighting.

[@somethingrandom5503]

Another awesome video with amazing designs! If you want to hit some other possible "Pokestereotypes" of the generations, here are a few that are pretty common: 1. The 3-stage dragon. I'm sure you're saving this one for later, and you've already noted the prevalence of this trope. Think Dragonite line, Goodra line, Dragapult line, etc., etc. 2. The 1-stage dragon. This one is an infrequent but fun trope, with the likes of Duraladon, Drampa, Turtonator, and Druddigon. This is a rare trope, but my personal favorite of the bunch, just because it allows the designers to make some more out-there dragon designs. 3. Fossilmon! Sometimes they happen, sometimes they don't, but since you're making a region based on the place where the meteor landed that took out the dinosaurs, I'd loved to see some with this region. Another idea on this front might be to have older fossils now given new "Mazda Forms", where their proximity to the meteor has seemingly retained more of their primal power. 4. The fish. Many generations like to introduce a kind of commonplace fish Pokemon to swim around the waters and get pulled up by Old Rods. While older generations gave us a ton of boring fish, new generations stick to like, one or two more interesting fishlines. Whether they be Fineon, Magikarp, Luvdisc, Goldeen, Basculin, Alomolola, Bruxish, Arrokuda, or Wishiwashi, they're a staple of the games. 5. The gimmicky normal type. Ditto, Smeargle, Kecleon, Furfrou, Silvally, and Sawsbuck are some of them, although you could argue that Slakoth, Regigas, Eevee, and the Porygon line also fit. Gamefreak likes to make normal-types with cool battle or evolution/aesthetic gimmicks, it seems. 6. The foodmon. Since Gamefreak left Japan-based regions behind, they've started making sentient Pokemon based on the famous cultural dishes of the new regions. There's a little of that in your region already, but with Mexican cuisine being both incredibly cultural important *and* fricking amazing, I'd love to see even more. Especially if your region's "Chansey" somehow took reference from the Tamalina custom. Another thing of note, but modern generations seemed to be running on a "at least 3 new Pokemon lines for each type" rule.

The second half of Rotatona's dex entry screams fae folk and I love that

[@froggy12koreangirl]

Absolutely could not wait to see more SUBJECTIVELY, also happy December. I wonder what we shall see; TYPES! Perfect! -sorry I’m so excitd

[@MrSoler]

The ability momentum seems something I´d love to see in the games. I think it makes a lot of sense

[@A.Beowulf]

I couldn't come up with theme, but just some random ideas I've had for fakemon that might fit in, A Dragon/Fairy Axolotl An Armadillo that when leveled up while knowing Ancient Power becomes a Pokemon resembling Doedicurus And as a counterpart to the Armadillo, A Sloth that under the same conditions will become something resembling Megatherium.

[@ArtisticChimera]

First sketch of dragon bug type: exists Me: THAT'S A GOD DAMN FACE HUGGER

[@matthewdennis2911]

I thought the exact same thing when I saw the actual photo of it.

I'd love to see the evolutionary line of the Bug/Dragon Pokémon

[@vicenteisaaclopezvaldez2450]

You should do a fairy/dark pokemon based on the forest of the dolls: they could be guardians that after loosing their kids decided to roam the forests to protect children, and they aren't necessarily ghosts, since they're only dolls that stopped contact with their kids (mostly because they grew old), that's what makes them so mysterious.

[@shomu_og2841]

5:44 i can just imagine the evolution of this pokemon where like a spirit or soul starts to come out of the stone wheel then for ots final evolution it fuses with it

[@enzoisaiah1434]

pls continue the gym leaders series, i wanna see all concepts!! 😭❤️

[@visitinggoat6696]

5:05 Guys, i found a leak about clefkey's mega evolution from gen nine!

[@roadrunneruntd]

I like how Chispeka's dex info is basically similar to how wrestlers typically lose on their way out of a company and tend to return after an extended period working in either the indies or other companies.

[@primaryhoodies6386]

Man I really want this to be an actual game, the story concept and designs are amazing

[@FierceGalactaKnight]

I actually wanted to draw a Pokemon based off of twig spiders too. Glad you were able to make it work more than I could lol Actually, after seeing the whole video, all your ideas were ones that I was thinking about or have done my own interpretation of (I'm also doing a region based off of Mexico) and I'm glad to see your interpretation of these ideas. I love seeing artists interpret different ideas. This was an amazing video, and I can't wait to see more! For your next video, maybe draw a Pseudolegendary a la Dragonite, Dragapult, etc.

[@TemBr0]

Please fix the buzzing in the background, it's driving us insane

[@acetrainer_zack2455]

I actually fell asleep

[@Missingno_Miner]

Wait I thought that was a problem on my end lol

[@pkmnaj8281]

I think considering the environments, often found in Pokemon games might be the natural next step. A dessert, and jungle, a waterfront or even an urban area can open up a lot of ideas and finite the focus of the next designs you wanna make. This is by far my favorite series on the channel and im hoping we one day have a full 100+ mon Maza region dex to dream about. Keep up the great work Jack :D

[@flaviorocha9634]

I'd love to see ground/fighting combo. Or normal/ghost. Maybe the two legendaries the next generation. One focused on the offensive side while the other would be great defensive wall

[@sharksuperiority9736]

*Today is a good day!* -Quote Squirtle I seriously love all these designs, so much character Ariamano is a little too goofy for my taste, but I do like the design I really like Rotatona, it’s an object Pokémon that looks cool and has interesting, somewhat multi-levelled inspirations. Which are kinda rare in Pokémon, they exist for sure, I Love Chandelure, Runerigus, and Mimikyu a lot. I’m not sure if I would use a Rotatona though, we’d have to see Chispeka is ok, definitely my least favourite of the three. It really pushes the line of what is a pika clone, it’s quite bulky which is off putting. Plus it’s name isn’t japanese (Atleast as far as I can tell), which all 8 (9 if you count Pikachu, or 7 If you don’t count Pichu) have been. All and all a good batch, not one of my favourite batches but still some gems in there

[@no_no1404]

I would love a Hollowed form of Bisharp, something Aztec or Mayan themed.

[@Hershewed]

Bruh poison steel style sounds dope af Just imagine something using needle like claws or syringes to INJECT poison into it’s prey or enemies. Or razed sharp dagger claws that have a naturally produced poison coating on them. And maybe camouflage the poison on the shiny to make it look like something else, like honey or something.

[@zachmcmullen2741]

Ariamano looks pretty handy. Put it in a haunted forest, pair it with a "torso" Pokemon and a "head", maybe some "legs" suddenly it's a big mecca!

[@emanresU2020]

No one: Literally no one: Not a soul: Me when Ariamano was being designed: This new Dragon Quest Slime is coming along great.

[@Byborne]

Cool video. Could you just maybe get a new mic until the next one? There's a constant drone sound through the whole video. In general you could become better with sound editing. Other than that, great content!

[@LittleParade_]

I love imagining Rotatona's idle animation being it rolling back and forth in a fight! It's a simple concept and you executed it really well!

[@nathantragic1047]

I've never even heard of a twig spider until this video Ratatona reminds me of Bronzor in a way And that Pikachu clone is probably my favorite

[@abandoned__]

the first sketch looking like a subnautica reaper leviathan

[@toetotipthatsabart5048]

I’d totally have a Rotatona on my team. I love Little Guys!!!

[@Mewhunter5]

I would really like to see what concepts you could think of for a Normal/Ghost type, as those two types put together make whatever the creature is to be very unique.

[@constantinetasoulis2644]

The image displayed at 5:06 is one of if not the scariest images I have ever seen. Like imagine you see this in the wild and think it’s a normal Pokémon until it turns around revealing it’s weapons and shooting you dead.

[@theJuiciest]

Love this series honestly it’s the best on you tube 🤩

[@jepersprepur2809]

That fairy ground one I really like I was hoping he would show a possible evolution for it or maybe an alternative mode

[@logans.7932]

There’s a lot of Pokémon in this region with prominent hands/feet in their design. For that, I’ve invented a move. TM200: Shock Buzzer- The Pokémon approaches the opponent for an innocent handshake before surprising them with a contact-electrocution. Electric-type, Physical Move, 50 Base Power 80% change to flinch opponent (Or, maybe it’s a Dark-type move that can paralyze the foe)

[@chandlereverhart7339]

I love Chispeka! I normally don’t love Pikachu clones, but I’d 100% have this little guy on a team! I can totally imagine a fighting gym that is set in one of their caves, with Pokémon and trainers alike watching the battles like a spectator sport!
