Just a short one this time~
Every year it gets harder to find time to make these, but I don't wanna stop! So the plan is to maybe keep doing short ones like this, that way they're easier to make and hopefully lead to uploading videos more often.

Which Poke'human was your favorite? I gotta go with my boys, Elerin and Dantler. (Since some peeps are confused, Arin is Elekid cuz that's his fav alongside Scizor)

[@somerandolad]

I'll have to go with Feralligator. Oh, and JigglyPuff.

Love Espeon and Umbreon. And the Pika-girl was super cute!! Great work, as always.

[@appsmasher7932]

Espeon and Umbreon, though Arcanine did make me question my sexuality a little.

[@DaWombatGaming]

Espeon was too shmexy. Got me confused

[@RESIDENTHOB0]

I love how Arin's hair is clearly Pikachu colored, but is also just the regular brown with a yellow streak in reverse. Very clever!

[@Somerandomjingleberry]

I love how you designed the humanized ‘mons in such a way that the remarks that Arin and Dan make make specific sense in the situation. Like Arbok being one of those bad boy types with an open mouthed grin so Arin’s “he’s going hehehehehehehe” makes sense, having Blastoise pose in such a way that his ass is very much accentuated, and so on!

[@sarahcoulthard5780]
