I Turned Pokemon Silhouettes into New Fakemon

[@truegreen7]

CALM DOWN GUYS! Whenever I design fakemon for a silly unrealistic challenge such as this, I don't use the official Pokémon art style. That's why the linework and shading is different in this video. I've done it multiple times before. This is not new. I guess you have some previous videos to catch up on ;)

[@ChesuMori]

Honestly, it would be cool to see the shading just a bit flatter. A lot of your designs would look great as Dream World art

[@truegreen7]

The shading is as flat as it gets. Literally can't get flatter.

[@ChesuMori]

@@truegreen7 Hmm... maybe I should've said, flatter and lower-contrast? I do pixel-based art for video games, I don't know anything about real art 😂

[@panchampangoro4999]

@@ChesuMori honestly I was going to say just this, it really looks like Dream World art (Edit: I mean this in a good way ofc, DW art is so clean)

[@TonyTonyChopp3rMan]

idk i kinda like this way more then the official pokemon art style

[@Ange_Red]

Imagine adding these fakemon in the "Who's that Pokemon" game? It would cause a lot of rage! 🤣

You could do a 4 artist where you give them a silhouette of your fakemon and see who gets the closest

[@kennymation5344]

That's actually a really good idea

I would love a group video where everyone makes a team for a different, randomly selected Disney princess! Maybe 3 known pokemon and 3 of the artists fakemon specifically made for their princess. Like a Mushu style fakemon for Mulan, a Flounder fakemon for Ariel, an Olaf style fakemon for Elsa, etc...

[@josefinameyer7183]

Cool sponsor! Remember tho, ring wearers, when wearing rings on both hands, clap one hand's fingers into the others palm. Otherwise they might crash into each other and get damaged!

[@DukeDarkshadow]

I'd really like to see more of this idea, but a lot less rotation. I think a big part of the challenge is taking the silhouette already as it is right-side up and making that into something brand new and very different. Like you said with Bulbasaur: "How can I make its bulb not a bulb?" Or with Pikachu: "How can I make its hand not a hand and its tail something other than a classic tail?" The idea to turn the shadow of its hand into a furry elbow was genius. But I think that by rotating them, it makes the challenge much easier so it kinda takes away from it. It's almost as if you're given an entirely original silhouette that you have free range with even though it's still a classic Pokemon. Still another fantastic video though Ron and a great idea. As far as ideas for future designs if you were to do a Part 2, how about a Voltorb/Electrode but something that isn't just a simple ball? Maybe all its appendages are tucked inside the shadow outline that you just can't see? How about some of the bird or fish Pokemon? I feel like taking those silhouettes and making them into anything other than birds or fish could be a huge challenge. Maybe some classic Legendary silhouettes like Mewtwo, Groudon, or Dialga and making them into everyday common smaller Pokemon.

[@chriSPBtian]

Yep. I was going to say exactly the same.

[@Luanmm]

I completely agree!

[@DarthCobalt55]

Hawlucha one looks like a kirby boss

[@latexu9589]

0:03 That reminds me of the famous "Jigglypuff from above" scene in Indigo League.🤣

[@Milo-pi7jc]

Fun fact if you rotate a Piplup 180 degrees, it looks like a weird floating bug

[@paigelego4027]

Loving the return to classic “Who’s that Pokémon?”

[@agentstrike7501]

I don't even like Bug-types like that, but now I want a Pikaspew plushie.

[@FunkMonk-k0ng]

8:19 "I didn't have to think hard on... Hehe-" wait what?

[@nonexistendworm3449]

When seeing rotated Boldore's silhouette I pictured this ominous claw shaped eldritch thing. I also flipped some toys upside down to get inspiration for my drawings.

[@-Demarques-]

Ron’s designs in this video look different than usual. Maybe more bold or crisp. I love it.

[@M1200100]

Yes, I was thinking the same! I think it's bc his lineart is thicker? His rendering also looks slightly more graphic

[@mirandablair7384]

the way bellicent is so succesful is so shocking ! for me i think it's them, and the bulbasaur that are the most succesful at transforming the silhouett :) would definitely love to see more !!!

[@michaelparham1328]

This could make for fun game in the future. Make a fakemon with an existing silhouette, and guests have to guess the original pokemon.

[@SomeGuyOnYoutubey]

“Who’s that Pokémon?!?” “Pikaspew”

11:01 harlucha looks like it can be a branched evo for haunter

[@mystora7159]

The artstyle looks a bit different than normal I feel like but I actually quite like it, and the colors are very nice too

[@hakiMakiman]

I feel like another interesting way to do Bulbasaur's silhouette would be to turn it into a frog with its tongue out.

[@mertensiam3384]

Bulbasaur is already a frog tho

[@CyborGibbon]

When I saw the start of Crystall I literally started chanting "Pangolin! Pangolin! Pangolin!"

I’m gonna give this one a try 😂 love the idea

[@randihorvath]

We can't just ignore the fact that at 8:20 he said he didn't have to think "hard on" when it came to Gardevoir, followed by that chuckle lmao

[@Blank-zq9gg]

This would be plus four of "Who's That Pokemon"

[@JosephTrimarco]

You should overlay two silhouettes and make a Pokémon from that! Another great vid Ron

[@Metalfear4]

This is such a clever idea! The mons turned out great too!

[@Faceliness]

That's a fun challenge! These silhouettes can also help people who struggle with bodyshapes. Love your videos man!

[@FloWoodEnT123]

A 5-Fakemon video is a gift 💜 It seems like your art style changed a bit for this one, but I can’t put my finger on it 🤔 Anyway, Guidevoir and Bellicent are my favorite designs this time!

[@jonatanmonsalve11]

That's just his sketch style; that's the style he uses on the speedpaints before showing the clean Sugimori-style final result; he just keeps the sketch style on these slightly less serious videos because it's just for fun and allows more arts for less time spent

[@lightcreed962]

Reminds me of that one episode where there was a silhouette of a ball-like Pokémon such as Voltorb but turns out to be a different angle of Jigglypuff. As for the designs, I really enjoyed them a lot from this video but the one that stood out to me was Pikaspew like imagine an April Fool's and this Pokémon showed up but regardless keep up the good work

[@SuperJJx]

I love ethe first one!! The mane and fluffy tail is unique for a Bulldog.

[@avisperspective6145]

The execution of this concept is inspiring. I'm definitely going to try this.

[@keithjanthony9823]

Honestly feel like the bulb would have been better as a coiled tail

[@BonnyJohn]

Dude these are so fun! Bulbun could be my all time ever favorite Pokemon it were real; Harlucha is so fun too twisting the silhouette like that. Also, dope shirt brother!

[@TheEgotastical]

These are incredible.. Pikaspew and Harlucha especially. Please do more of these! Such a cool idea, I could even see Pokemon doing it as a convergent style group.

[@unrexlisticgengxr]

As Pokemon Fan, I love this concept and how u approached it, might wna try it myself! As an Art Fan, I love how you've made the outline stand out a little more than ur older fakemon, a subtle change that i acc really like!

[@Danny199]

Ron you are so incredibly talented! To be able to make something in Pikachu's silhouette that somehow, doesn't look like a Pikachu anymore, that's skill. Hope you continue this series ^^

[@sharosenpai]

basically, it's just another term of, "Gengar is just the Silhouette of Clefable."

[@hikariizuki1693]

From Bulbasaur silhouette, i can see a little smug rhino, the ear become it's horn. as for Gardevoir, a jellyfish or a blanket octopus

[@lightningdragon666]

This is actually an amazing concept.

[@CubedSausagefromScarparius]

Harlucha is from Kirby or maybe Balan Wonderworld

[@Zackfish12345]

Ngl I was skeptical about the pikachu silhouette, but you really pulled off giving it its own identity! You’re super creative🤙🏼

[@redumbreonandgreenchicorit9176]

“This looks like less a Pokémon and more a boss in a video game somewhere” yeah……permission to use that face, please, I love how insane that face is.

[@ASCENSiON_]

I love your new rendering style on these Fakemon!

[@lucasknyles]

This is an amazing concept and video. Spectacular work. I think overlapping the silhouette before the final reveal like "Who's that Pokémon?", or during the lore portion would show your talent as an artist and be a nice reminder/comparison of the concept for the viewers.

[@ninxflametail9134]

Ngl this looks like a fun challenge! I might try this one day, it looks like fun! Also Bulbun my beloved 🥰

The fact that he decided that Gardevoir would be the backup thumbnail Pokémon is so sus

[@BRUHjonathan]

I like the slightly different art style in this video

[@averyseldin8485]

I could honestly see Pikaspew and Guidavor as actual convergent evolutions. I like it!

[@sonomirko]

I really love what you did here. Such good results, especially Harlucha! I'd love a challenge and some of my favourite Mons like Voltorb, Muk or Smogon next.

[@K3wlG33k]

Guidevoir's name also sounds like it contains a corruption of the word "Devour" a very "dark-type" sounding word imo. The corruption could also be linked to or inspired by the words "Noir" or "Void" for that added darkness feeling. They "guide" or lure their prey to the shoreline in order to drown them into the ocean's "dark void" and "devour" their bodies later. Just thought I'd add onto that part of Ron's pokedex entry. Perfect water/dark entry if I don't say so myself. 👍

[@verdi-gris]

DUDE, bulbun is adorable! i do think it's a missed opportunity for a bao/soup dumpling on the back though

[@someoneindeed]

Another brilliant video idea, it's amazing that you made all of these work so well

[@trulyunknowable]

There's a cool idea here for a sort of convergent form, where instead of two different pokemon evolving to have similar features, but where one species evolved to imitate other species

[@rookciousrook9289]

WHEN I SAW THIS, IM LIKE THIS IS SUCH A INTERESTING CONCEPT ?

[@DrFeelGoood]

This concept is so cool and your fakemons are very convincing and creative

[@TheRareware64]

You took "Who's That Pokemon?" and made it 20% Cooler. Great work on all of them!

[@adorablush]

You changed up your style, very crisp and clean! It looks really good!

[@buglord1]

For bellicent i could see a new ability called Leaf Shed: every time this pokemon is hit be a physical attack it sheds a leaf of its gown boosting speed and attack while drastically lowering defense

[@SoftwareLearningify]

I’ve seen this kind of thing before and always wanted to, I’ll probs do it after the video, love the concept btw! Your vids are Always amazing

[@Xanthelei]

As a Bulbasaur fan from Pokemon Blue, I adore the bulldog you pulled from his silhouette! I think out of all of them, he's the most Pokemon-like. I'm really loving GF's trend towards adding cute small dog breeds to the stable of Pokemon (I still count Boltund even though he gets to be a medium to large size in the end). 10/10 would catch and use!

[@calebcardinal3867]

I loved these for the gen 5 starters!! So glad you did this!

[@six3daydream]

All these years I feel like you’re still getting better. Good stuff man I’d say these are some of your best🔥

[@omsaipolamreddy9528]

honestly when ron was initially drawing crystall, i thought it could very well work as a rock type cyndaquil regional variant

[@brandonnicholas6900]

This is a fun series, keep it up! I think Bulbasaur was the best one. Don't love that you kept that hand in for the Jellicent, though. Even with the caveat, adding to the silhouette still feels like a broken rule. And while the rotation was a cool gimmick, I hope in the future you can stick to the pokemon's original orientation. I think that's where the fun and real challenge is at, to work within the confines of the presented silhouette. Or if you do rotate it, maybe make it an separate fakemon evolution to the original orientation fakemon.

[@kionplays4497]

I tried this too after watching it was so fun! Love the vidz

[@theunknownmax6571]

This was a really cool challenge. I especially liked when you flipped the silhouettes around. My favorite being Boldore, great job.

That bulldog one is really good and should def be a convergent form/regional fake. It still trips me up looking at it and I got to do a double take😄

[@PapaDeuce27]

Have you ever thought of making a fakemon off of the substitute doll that's in the game? It obviously looks like it's a doll of a pokemon, but it doesn't look like any in game. Its like a little dinosaur lizard guy and think he would make awesome fakemon to give a canon story behind the dolls inspiration.

[@HalzyonMC]

Please do more of these, randomly found this video and it got me to subscribe! Incredibly clever idea and wonderful execution.
