Fire Type Heart (a PMD short film) | Tribdinosaur

Rio the Charmeleon and Kurt the Wartortle rescue an abandoned egg in the snow.
A labor of love, created in a week. It's a kind of story I've been wanting to tell for a while.

crying @ the club so hard the pokedex registered me as a water type

[@Tribdinosaur]

just wanna say this is one of the funniest comments I've gotten in my years posting xD how very on-theme

[@Scrunklyboy]

@@Tribdinosaur I specialize in being silly, I fucking loved that animation you did keep it up bro

[@xspiderfanx]

so you're a Sobble then?

[@Ronaldability]

nah what the hell happened to me i became friggin fairy type

[@jasorooni6014]

Two dads,one fire type,the other water type,and they have a grass type daughter,I absolutely adore it

[@Number1JettDawsonShrimp]

that caught me out for a sec too, hahaha nice to see there was an innocent explanation for it tho

[@Tribdinosaur]

@@Number1JettDawsonShrimp Hehehehe I'm happy that people have told me that line surprised them. That was my plan, and I'm glad it worked.

[@kingmidas1909]

I.... I am two years late. But I'm not exaggerating when I say that this brought me to tears, happy tears at that. You deserve more recognition. These animations are gorgeous and the music fits perfectly. Also, incredibly good storytelling and voice acting. This is literally one of the best animations I've seen on this platform. I might be late to this, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy it.

[@mercurymerc6518]

You speak for us both, my friend.

[@TorutheRedFox]

[@Madalovin]

Got me tearing up with this. "Dad made me feel like our differences were never a problem" is a statement I wish to uphold.

[@LycanMOON]

That little fire beard is absolutely adorable I must say

[@PaytonPaw124]

*kicks door* I CAME AS SOON AS I COULD this is truly beautiful and adorable

[@arcikkus8227]

yes it is!!

[@Tribdinosaur]

I'm so happy that you were so excited enough to kick the door down! 😄

[@PaytonPaw124]

@@Tribdinosaur trust me if I love something enough I will destroy something in my way or I will do something threatening or drastic

[@blueblade8075]

I can think of no story within PMD more heartwarming than that of Kurt and Rio's. Now I wonder what they're gonna name the little fellow?

[@Tribdinosaur]

They named her Kali! The photo at the end briefly shows it~

[@Gnoosh5]

I LOVE how well animated this is especially 2:15 because when They talk together it makes it feel so much more alive

[@Gnoosh5]

I also love 1:21 when Rio said "I dunno how else to say it so I'm just gonna say it" was really good because it felt alive because normally people would just say it

[@abyssbun444]

He rejected humanity, now he raise M O N K E (but seriously though, this short warmed my cold heart, keep doing what you do man)

[@Kirble-ll5gr]

Even two years later, this is still loved and appreciated. You made something to be remembered.

[@voch123]

When Kurt mentioned his Pops, as someone who doesn’t know much about this fan universe I immediately thought Carracosta and got excited since SPMD is my favorite PMD game. Then it showed Machoke and I still thought it was adorable but then Carracosta ACTUALLY showed up and I freaked out

[@Tribdinosaur]

Yesss hehe I too love Super Mystery Dungeon! Honestly it's a good coincidence that Carracosta is a water type, so he fit perfectly in the scene I needed

[@zytche6466]

just got recommended this today and i can safely say that it's the single best pmd content i've seen, i love how real the characters and the conversations feel and it's just too cute, as an ace who wants a relationship, what Rio and Kurt have is THE ultimate relationship goal.

[@timothytheinkwolf505]

1:11 Ryo kissing Kurt's cheek like that is so adorable 💙💙 Edit: This animation and everything that involves those two always makes me thinking of my boyfriend. You have an...essence that makes my heart warm as I remember that special person Thank you Trib!

[@jessicawelch7755]

Family with a fire-type, water-type and grass type…… how sweet

[@TheDrakeagle]

sometimes youtube just tees up something exceptionally cute.

[@Lunaria_The_First_Maiden166]

Oh my word, I have only seen like three animations so far but I am hooked on this stuff, you seem to have made everything I wanted to see in Pokémon come to life Pokémon with different parents to their actual evolution line, robotic/prosthetic limbs on Pokémon, Pokémon that actually speak to each other and do more than just fight, eat, sleep and be caught by trainers Thank you❤

[@zacktaylor8178]

theres something so special about your style of storytelling. its not like your a professional voice actor with top of the line equipment, but something about your dialogue, your voice for these characters, and the quality itself- it all feels so cozy. in the hands of many others this sort of stuff could easily fall short, but somehow you make pacing that could be awkward just perfect and so grounded feeling. everything about it feels so grounded and cozy

[@GeoGamerArtistVlogger]

Don't mind me I'll just be over here SOBBING

[@DavidRycan]

2:10 damn near gave me whiplash. This was such a heartwarming animation. Pun not intended but definitely appreciated

[@faielyne]

I know it’s a super emotional short and all but I can’t stop thinking of the two visiting the dad like “HELLO FATHER WE’VE ACQUIRED A CHILD.”

[@Tribdinosaur]

Sounds alright to me since Rio & Kurt work in a Rescue Team! They must've come across lost eggs before.

[@octosquid48]

Never before have I seen something so astronomically *cute*

[@yarn1471]

i can feel your emotions from these animations Steven Universe has same kind of feelings it's probably my favourite thing ever

[@withermlgpro9576]

I know I probably won’t say anything new that anyone else here hasn’t said already, but I just wanted to say that I LOVE your animations, especially your Pokémon Mystery Dungeon animations. Lately, I’ve felt so lonely and I’ve been wanting to fall in love with a guy like this, but I’m not having any luck so far; but then you make sweet animations like this and remind me that not everyone out there is just after sex, there can also be sweet guys out there like Rio or Kurt. So I just wanted to say thank you soo much, and please don’t ever stop making these amazing animations! ❤️

[@Tribdinosaur]

Thank you so much for watching my work. If I can, I really want to read all the feedback that watchers add to my works, so I appreciate you for sharing that effort with me. If there's anything I've learned about romance over my years of trying and heartbreak, it's that the worst of our worries are never true. If we worry that there's no one out there for us, or if we worry that everyone out there is the same, it's just not true. Any proof you need is the fact that you believe it, meaning it's not impossible for someone out there too to have a heart like yours.

[@withermlgpro9576]

I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to say this to me. Thank you so much for your wise words, they mean so much!!! I really do hope I find someone out there with a heart like mine, and I hope that you will be able to keep sharing these sweet little stories you make with the world, because we need more stories and people like you in this world, because I believe if we do, it really would be a world more like the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series that you created: a world filled with love and care. ☺️

[@PacThePenguinBoi]

I know I'm late, but you don't know how much I absolutely adore this. I'm not a dad, not yet, but I love these themes. I've been a Pokemon fan my whole life, and I'm gay, and god this hits home to the challenges I face in my life, contemplating daily. It's amazing and so heartwarming, I love it, and I need to send this to my boyfriend. Thank you so much for this sentimental piece of art.

[@BacchusDiem]

HYGOUGHHGOHGUGHGHO...... THIS IS SO TENDER AND GOOD..... I LOVE THESE TWO.....the fire goatee on rio is also a fun character design feature lol!! thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!

[@Tribdinosaur]

Thank you muchly! :) I really enjoy the effect of Rio's fire goatee, even though it adds a lot more work for me 😂👍🏽

Oh my GOSH I am so late but this is exactly what I needed to see tonight. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us this was so wholesome and heartwarming. My heart is crying in a good way. This was so good oh my gosh

Where did we all come from??? It’s been two years! The algorithm works in mysterious ways I guess. Hi! This is really good! I aspire to create similar projects one day.

[@Tribdinosaur]

Trust me, I am just as surprised as you!! A sudden influx of new comments on my old projects! :) I wish you well on your creative journey too!

[@KPhiyo]

Just to let you know that your art from 2 years ago is still touching hearts... This is the first video of yours I've seen, but now I'll certainly watch them all. The very intro is absolutely precious. The fact that the Pa Machoke is well (not just a nostalgic memory) and how both characters talk together in that scene make this my favourite part. Lots of love!

[@LevisGay]

I need this as a slice of life anime series it would be so cute

[@sum1stolemycheese]

The way they flinched when the egg cracked was my favorite reaction! 🧡💙

[@uniconwizardsb1122]

@@Tribdinosaurthat was a really amazing moment, like some other comments said the best boys talking over each other really makes the scene feel alive and that these two have good chemistry, and that combined with the subversion of expectation really just puts icing on the cake! And thank YOU for making me smile ear to ear all night for the first time in months! ^w^

[@Kyata101]

Your animations are always such a wonderful treat to see. Your hard work really shows with every video you put out. It amazes me how you don't have more subs and attention. If any animator deserves more praise for their hard work, it'd definitely be you.

[@Tribdinosaur]

I'm very honored; thank you for all these wonderful compliments! If I can make people smile with my works, I'll share in the happiness too. Even better if I make a few tips from it, and it makes it easier to work on more.
