Let's Redesign Some Paldean Pokémon!

[@Jack-we7no]

The Scovillain redesign makes it look like an evolution to it, which make me love it even more!

[@enter-clever-name]

While I do think your redesign is well made, Baxcalibur isn’t based on a Spinosaurus at all, rather the Concavenator that was first discovered in Spain Edit: If you’re going to reply telling me it’s Godzilla, don’t. This was just supposed to be a fun fact. I didn’t ask for this

[@sharkbyte-7]

@@TamValleyProductionsI like your new gholdengo design but I think what would've been cool is like a golden coin tonge that's big and somewhat menacing and goofy. And maybe have the chest bottom snapped in half as feet? Idk I'm just talking and not disrespecting your design I love it!

[@vivyblue]

I love the reptilian take for Scovillain! One of my biggest gripes with it's original design was how it seemed to have no direction. It has lizard elements like the claws and the tail, but then has this bland humanoid body, and the two heads that just seem to be slapped on there with no thought. I love how the redesign has actual cohesion, and kinda looks like a badass grass version of Hydreigon.

[@TamValleyProductions]

That’s a great way of putting it! Scovillain just needs some direction to commit to.

[@indesomniac]

i absolutely agree with the Pokemon you chose for the "least cooked", but some comments on Shroodle! The "tongue" is actually buck teeth, Shroodle is not based on a lemur, but rather on a shrew ("shroo"). Shrews are unique in that they are one of the only venomous mammals and produce a potent venom in their saliva in order to kill invertebrates and mice for food! that said, i LOVE your spidops and i wish they gave it something a bit more akin to your reimagining! the thin legs and pedipalps just look so nice

[@EmiyaHikari]

btw the fact that shroodle evolves into a lemur is because it's most likely based on a treeshrew, a species closely related to primates and resembles some of the most ancient primate fossils.

[@DewyHasArrived]

Exactly what I commented shroodle is a shrew it’s literally in the name like you literally changed what shroodle even is ._.

[@theserpent8667]

Still better than whatever tf its original design is supposed to be.

It looks like your art is getting better! Your Spidops legitimately looks like a design that’d fit right into Pokémon 100%

[@TamValleyProductions]

[@infamousinferno2506]

Your change for Spidops nearly brought a tear to my eye. There was so much potential for Turountula, and they just went and botched it. Your design is what we needed.

[@TamValleyProductions]

Thanks so much!

[@ChesireHeart]

Spidops is so bad. It doesn’t even look like the ego for turounchula

[@MoonlitGecko]

Best fanmade Gholdengo that I’ve seen so far!! Would’ve actually been worth it to get all the coins to use that on my team. Great vid, your redesigns are awesome!

[@BuckBlaziken]

There’s something really unsettling about Spidops official design, it looks like something you wouldn’t expect Pokémon to look like which makes it more unsettling when you see it in game. Same with the pepper plant based Pokémon, they feel like there’s a missing final evolution for them.

[@TamValleyProductions]

I kinda agree, they both look a bit empty and artificial which is super jarring compared to many final evos, especially given their menacing/predatory personalities.

[@candycoatedroxx]

I like your Ghouldengo design because it looks threatening enough that it could kill you, but not so threatening to completely remove the goofiness of original Ghouldengo.

[@TamValleyProductions]

Exactly! Having a balance in every Pokémon design is hugely important, I’ve learned.

[@CoolMintMC]

There is a LOT I could go on about, but I really enjoyed watching this. Also, I want to say that I genuinely wish there were more artists (like you) who would "redesign" Pokemon WITHOUT throwing away the concepts entirely & changing the visual design's identity. I really hope this can become a reoccurring series on your channel!

[@TamValleyProductions]

I’d love to do more videos like this. Thanks for watching!

[@CoolMintMC]

@@TamValleyProductions That would be awesome; I'd definitely watch. Oh, & you're welcome. ✌️

[@jacquelynthompson5346]

Holy hell, that Scovillain redesign fixes everything I didn’t even know was bad about the design. I need more of these

[@ExistingKirb]

As a big fan of Scovillain for it’s silly cartoon villain design, I really love your take on it. My one major problem with Scovillain was how it felt more like a middle stage than a final evolution, and your spin on it does a good job at remedying it.

[@abrarkadabrar7829]

That Spidops redesign gives me major gen 2 energy. Like it's a love child between a Scyther and an Ariados. Maybe it's the soft version of the colour values you used or the brush style or something else you used that gives it a very early days Sugimori style vibes. Kudos my guy!

[@redtokyo936]

definitely like each one of these designs 100x better.

[@TamValleyProductions]

[@thepickypixelartist]

My favorite redesign of Spidops I've seen yet!!!

[@MissyDoPop]

Love the changes you’ve made, this group of Pokémon youve chosen have disappointed me as I’ve been playing Scarlet- wishing so bad right now that your designs were the official ones instead! My favorite has gotta be Spidops, I loved its pre-evolution so much and was so disappointed by the evolution… BUT THIS REDESIGN IS FANTASTIC! It looks so much more natural and less awkward, fantastic job!!

[@TamValleyProductions]

Thanks so much!

[@leonardofarias8843]

I didn't think I could actually like Spidops but you nailed it! That Scovillian is also just 12/10. Wish we got that style!

[@TamValleyProductions]

Thanks so much dude!! 😎

[@InfamousTrainer]

Bax looks AWESOME! Good work!

[@SlowForest]

Although I like how it looks, your Shroodle redesign doesn't really look like it could be Grafaiai's pre evolution. It looks more like another potential evolution for Shroodle since it's proportions are so similar to Grafaiai's. Maybe if you made it more similar in proportion to baby pokemon like pichu or Igglybuff I could buy it.

[@TamValleyProductions]

That’s fair, I was definitely more adverse to making it round just because of how much I disliked the original Shroodle. But I see what you mean! So many baby Pokémon are rounder in proportion that it’s hard to ignore that trope when designing one. Interesting how my own biases affect the redesign.

[@piinkaaroon]

These are great!! Gholdengo looks so much better in your concept!

[@ChesireHeart]

That gholdengo looks so much better, actually like a Pokémon. It’s fun seeing the designers expand on traditional Pokémon designs but there really needs to be someone to redline stuff

[@MarsMakes]

You gave these Pokemon suuuch a glowup omg, I especially love the shroodle and spidops.

[@venomgaming7014]

You redesigning Gholdengo actually inspired me to create a branched evolution for Gimmighoul, with a more merciful evolution. I decided to follow the D&D mimic route and made it more monstrous. I called it Goldred, the golden mimic Pokémon (from Gold, Ghoul, Dread and Dredge). To evolve Gimmighoul into Goldred, you must give it 500 Gimmighoul coins and level it up. However, unlike Gholdengo, where the 999 are essentially given at the same time, you can give it a part of the 500 coins (for example, 124) and then wait a bit since it keeps track of how many you have given it. Goldred has its own, potentially more broken signature ability, called Golden Reflection. Take magic bounce, combine it with good as gold and you get Golden Reflection. In other words, it bounces back any status moves. And as for set-up, it basically “reflects” the boost onto both itself and its ally. With Gholdengo, you can’t set up or inflict status conditions or set up hazards. With Goldred, you can, but it’ll go back to you or boost Goldred and its ally. And yes, it has the same BST as Gholdengo, just taking 25 points off speed and putting them in HP.

[@blair94]

Scovillian was super disappointing to me too. I love the concept so much but the execution feels boring and disjointed. I love your redesign, it makes way more sense!

[@JohtoJonnyYT]

Holy hell that Shroodle redesign is WAY better. I woulda appreciated the new Pokemon more with these kinds of designs. If I'm not mistaken, the previous Pokemon designer was English. Perhaps you can take over the reigns now 🤣

[@Ihavenoideawhichnametochoose]

[@officersoulknight6321]

Critiques; -Shroodle looks a bit too much like the animal it’s based off. While official shroodle is too far, this shroodle doesn’t go far enough and is just a squirrel with paint on it -Spidops is cool but I would’ve kept some of the more militaristic features. Maybe a simplistic band between the eyes rather than just nothing. Also, I would keep the bottom legs bundled; it would imply that the Pokémon is nimble and fights using a mobility advantage and its own strategy, which it does. -Dragon Scovillain is cool, but the whole idea you completely missed is that it’s a mafioso pepper. It’s a gangster, too hot to handle. While this can kinda be seen in this scovillain, I feel like it needs to be humanoid for that personality to come through. Scov’s problem is that it’s the weird middle line between animalistic and humanoid, and needs to step off that line. You stepped onto Animalistic, but the concept would’ve come through better with humanoid. -While I mostly agree with your Baxcalibur, It A. Doesn’t really look pseudo-legendary to me, more fossil-pokemon like, and B. The whole sword back deal is its entire thing. Bax slides on its sword toward foes to finish them off. I really couldn’t see this remake doing that. I would go with a more wave-shaped crest. -I like the new gholdengo, but it feels way too similar to existing “it’s a ghost possessing an object” mons. That humanness that gholdengo oozes makes it unique among the roster. While this gholdengo is cool as a stand-alone design and as a mimic mon it comes through well, I would’ve instead integrated Mummy traits to Gholdengo and removed the weird hair, making it cooler but still having it be human like and friendly.

[@UnitePop]

Wow all redesign are great and made all these mons more likeable than their actual design

[@elmsigreen]

I love that your Scovillain looks kinda like Alolan Exeggutor, both being Pokemon based on fruit-bearing plants

[@Maothen]

10:25 Baxcalibur lost too much of his blade/sword like characteristics, his name would be meaningless with this redesign despite it lookiing really good. Maybe make his tail look swordlike?

[@cartoonjelly1688]

Omigosh! Your scorvillian is dope! I can already see me sending it out the pokeball in a battle hearing the cry and everything!

[@blair94]

Baxcalibur looks so much better! I feel like your version would be way faster and it looks like it could run on all fours for more power/speed

[@TamValleyProductions]

Right? A sense of motion was definitely missing in the original design. Seeing it stand awkwardly in-game just felt incomplete.

[@brunitop4753]

I much prefer this design over the one we got, but I have to disagree. It still looks bulky and cumbersome and that's mainly because of the legs. We have a fairly realistic dinosaur body plan (albeit, very stylized and cartoony), but then the legs look like boneless cylinders with no distinct structure, as if they were inflatable tubes. They also stick out to towards the sides like a crocodile rather than downwards, which provides less leverage. Overall, it's good, but this one element is very distracting because it contrasts with the rest so heavily. Basically, just model the legs after a real spinosaurus and we're golden.

gholdengo didnt need a redesign

[@ThisIsTheKendom]

In my option Gholdengo looks fine the way he is. It’s on brand for Pokémon. And it also shows how the coins we were collecting were melted down etc. I like the other changes though

[@wolfofsummerbreeze]

Melted down? He possessed the coins.

[@piranhalettuce]

Yeah the only redesign I didn’t like was Gholdengo’s redesign, it just lost all of the personality. I get that Gimmighoul is a greedy coin gremlin and all but to me it evolving into Gholdengo seemed like it became good and turned over a new leaf especially since it has "Good As Gold" as an ability. Is Gholdengo’s design a bit bland? Sure, but the personality makes up for it in my opinion.

[@yungmuney5903]

While I like your gholdengo and all, it also misses the whole point of why Gholdengo is the way it is. It is the 1000th pokemon (which is why it needs a thousand coins to evolve) and being the Pokémon that's supposed to celebrate that accomplishment, it's probably better off to give it a more friendly charismatic charm instead rather than another malicious ghost type possesing an object like a bunch of other ghost types.

[@siriusgray]

Shroodle looks like a lizard to me. I’ve never been so confused by a Pokémon’s design

Considering how Applin got a lot of attention from Gamefreak in the Gen 9 DLCs, just 1 generation after its introduction, I wouldnt be surprised if they did something similar for Scovillain, since it can very well get a third evo and become the Grass/Fire home run it deserved to be

[@noodlesandeggs1512]

The work you put into these redesigns as well as the descriptions for each one is really cool. Spidops’ redesign looks really great and more like Tarountula. Shroodle looks a lot like Mort from Madagascar and Grafaiai. Baxcalibur looks great but I thing the proportions are a bit too similar to Arctibax. But that Scovillan redesign was flawless. Really the only redesign I was not a huge fan of is Gholdingo. Granted it’s an improvement over the original but I would of liked to see more of a “reward” Pokémon since it is very hard to evolve. Maybe it could have a mischievous but fun mimic head and it’s body is golden but you could see the ectoplasm of the ghost seeping through.

[@laseridreamer4173]

Looking at your Goldengho I imagine when it sleeps the coins drop on the ground and the chest dropping as well, as you see the eye close, and when it has to move around, since it is a ghost type it could move around by bouncing around or just acting as a wave of coins, since I imagine that would be faster then keeping all those coin sin place

[@TamValleyProductions]

I love that idea!

[@laseridreamer4173]

@@TamValleyProductions It would make sense, since we see with Goldengho how it just kinda forms its board, logically the rest of the coins would do the same, and since the brains/pre evo is in the chest, the rest would just be controlled by ghost energy

Nice redesigns! I do like original Gholdengo although it is a weird evolution. I think the “hair” is supposed to be like rolls of coins, but fused together. Your variation is also cool, but maybe a bit predictable. I was hoping (while playing the game) Gholdengo was going to look like Gimmighoul became a goblin/gremlin (but still short, like 1-2ft tall). Like it possesses the chest (with the circle looking like an eye) as one form, and then jumps out to reveal its true goblin form that does more damage or changes type or something. So it still has that mimic aspect of “treasure chest is alive” while its body becomes more monstrous to show how aggressive/protective it is. Maybe if you use the coin move, that’s when it changes forms to pick up the coins, and then the same move makes him jump back into the chest. Kind of like how Aegislash can swaps between forms with a move.

That’s a really awesome idea!

Your Gholdengo redesign absolutely blows the original design out of the water. I'm still not sure if it's a good design for a Pokemon, but I certainly like it way more than the "totally radical humanoid mascot". Gimmighoul is described as being very possessive (pun only slightly intended) of its treasure, so it only makes sense that its evolution would be a bit "nasty". (though I understand that the Gholdengo we got could be friendly because you helped it to collect coins, so it's not a _complete_ misfit)

The thumbnail is what, in my opinion, the pepper plant should have been. I hate the way they did the first Fire/Grass type so dirty.

[@snoopysurfer582]

I feel that these designs miss the point on some stuff. For example scovillian. It looks cooler, but the heads no longer look like habaneros anymore for how the plant is vs how the neck and head structure of yours is. Also the original teeth are not actual teeth, they are pepper seeds, you just took them off with no reason. It looks cool, but it isn't a better design at all. I agree scovillian could use a redesign, but this ain't it. Also gholdengo, but that's not on you, that's on the translators. Gholdengo's Japanese name is Surfugo, it basically means "wealthy surfer" and that is exactly what gholdengo is, a surfer so wealthy that is literally made of gold. It is not a mimic, just a guy made of gold that likes to surf. PD. I actually think the designs are nice in general, just that the design loses some important features in the redesign. For example, I would love your scovillian design as a Dragon/Plant Mega scovillian if megas would still be a thing, but not as a redesign

[@justsomeguy7077]

Shroodle: Not a fan. Looks too much like either an early concept for Grafaiai or someone drawing it from memory. Spidops: The only thing I like is the head being a bit more menacing than the official one. The thing holding it back is reducing the limbs to 6, as I think it the original had a unique way of walking that helped it stand out from other bug types. Scovillain: I would say that it is an improvement over the original since you changed the green head to yellow, the lack of arms is not doing it for me personally. Baxcalibur: A fine redesign, but looses charm when the original is a more obvious parallel to Godzilla based on posture, back plate, and coloring. Also when I saw it, I thought of 98 Goji/Zilla. Gholdengo: By making it more aggressive, it losses the original freildy charm in favor yet another ghost type. I admit that the use of the chest is a nice touch, but that is it.

I disagree with the base Shroodle design criticism - it's got a pretty clear visual concept, whereas Grafaiai's face resembles a rebellious mask, Shroodle is a cap, with its dome shaped body and that cute rounded snout! Also, another comment pointed out that it is based on a shrew, one of the only venomous mammals, which is also a neat inspiration for the design! I really prefer the original as it looks like a goofy little guy, kinda like a kid that got bullied in middle school, who evolves into the thuggish, rebel Grafaiai that we both know and love! However, I really enjoyed every other design, particularly Spidops, as you made it look genuinely cool, maybe a candidate for a Bug/Fighting to complete the triangle of Rabsca and Lokix. Keep up the good work! I just wanted to defend Shroodle, since I love the little guy as it is...
