Making Ultra Beast Starters

[@Wailerman]

Subtractive light primaries makes a lot of sense, seeing as they live in the same dimension as Necrozma, who is mostly in a state of deep black crystalines

[@matthewwilliams8267]

Maybe it should've reflected the Alola starters secondary types- Poipole gaining the Dragon-type somewhat reflects against Primarina's Fairy type. And with Poipole being somewhat Magenta, it compliments Litten, while the Poison Typing is super effective on Rowlet. Hm... may have to write this down. Edit: Using a different method, i came to a different combo: a Rock/Ghost and an Electric/Psychic. Essentially, their main typing is strong against one of the Alolan Starter's main typing, but (and bear with me here) the second typing is WEAK to the second typing of the Alola Starter that is WEAK to the Alola starter the UB Starter's primary type is strong against. To explain: Poipole is Poison type, which is strong against the Rowlet line. Rowlet is super effective against Popplio, and evolves into a Water/Fairy, so Poipole evolves into a Poison/Dragon type, making a secondary somewhat triangle.

[@Wailerman]

@@matthewwilliams8267 very interesting, if you end up doing anything with it, let me know, I'm genuinely interested

[@Schrobenius_Avindor]

@@matthewwilliams8267 Poor Poipole and Naganadel, they can't use any Poison moves for that Rock/Ghost with only going for Neutral with Dragon, feelsbadman 😞

@matthewwilliams bro,make a fan game NOW

[@riggityrooahh7665]

I love how each of these starter's shiny forms come back to the theme of secondary light colors, with Naganadel becoming yellow, Glasage becoming magenta and Shockorb becoming cyan.

[@SheepStar8]

Agree, secondary light colors are underrated.

[@sirondium]

In my headcannon the "ultra" dimension has 4 starters with the type square of Poison > Fairy > Dark > Psychic. Just makes sense considering there's only two stages of evolution, and to make it more different. That being said, your RGB --> CMYK link is awesome.

[@cameoshadowness7757]

That's pretty cool

[@bingoviini]

Psychic beats poison beats fairy beats dark beats psychic... And the cycle continues That's genius

[@erinkarp]

A type square would be super cool, and would fit CMYK perfectly

[@Kasey-the-alien]

Interesting

[@broging_bread]

that's a great idea ngl

[@kaiandtheskitty]

What I find so interesting about the three is that two you made are humanoid looking whereas Naganadel is a beasts like the two are some heroes fighting a monstrous beast for justice

I have always wondered about what a Pokémon game set in Ultraspace would be like. Thank you for making this video

[@Echodot04]

Sun and moon were my first games and I really hope someday to get a legends Arceus type Alola game focusing on the wormholes

[@thewizardslime6764]

Omg yes I had an idea for a game that is in the normal world but there's heavy ultraspace influence so there's ultrabeasts everywhere and the regional gimmick is turning normal pokemon into ultrabeast forms of themselves (most pokemon would just have weird auras and distortion effects but some would have unique designs like idk imagine an alien Pikachu)

[@Echodot04]

@@thewizardslime6764 I feel like if they made future paradox forms for that region it’d make a lot more sense because instead of just bringing your Pokémon to places with extremely different and strong Pokémon, someone makes various Pokémon out of robots for you to use.. but I’d absolutely love distorted forms or maybe you only have your legendary with you for a while until you find the Pokémon of those regions

[@gonzacabro1126]

​@@Echodot04 I mean, I would absolutely LOVE a Legends Marshadow Game ( The name in this case being an example ) set in ancient Alola, having new alternate forms, regionals, alternative evos and of course new Ultra Beasts

[@MylaMMIX]

Ultra space is such a cool concept and I feel like it was kind of underused. I really hope they revisit this concept sometime in the future.

[@johnroberts524]

I would love a legends game set in Ultra Megaopolis

[@memerreal-tk3mb]

@johnroberts524 I still can't get over that name,it really feels like a child named it which makes sense since the (usually) kid friendly theming of pokemon,except for the innuendos and stuff

[@briishcabbage568]

Having the zodiacs just function like "mythical" pokemon could be neat - they might not have any MAJOR story influence, but they exist and can be grabbed.

[@somebody975]

Or maybe like gen 1's legendary birds, where they're just hanging around at the end of some dungeons and don't have much lore beyond "powerful and unique boss monsters"

[@ToasterwithToast.]

I find it funny how dragon is weak to fairy but (in a way) it’s the opposite now, kind of helps it fit the vibe of Ultra Beasts being a weird parallel universe Pokémon. Also really like the designs you made for the other Ultra Beast starters, fits the vibe too and very uniquely creative.

[@StabbyCat3000]

The only thing I could think about during this whole video was “Peach likes pink, and Princess Daisy likes PoiPol”

[@Hutch2Much]

i would’ve gone with ice/flying, that way each pokémon’s primary type would be super effective against the others secondary type great video! really creative thought process here

[@codexolotl]

It’s so nice to have someone talk about TLEs and use them in a design! I feel like they tend to go unknown and unappreciated by a lot people who don’t even know what they are let alone how cool they are! Good job on the design and educating people on the super cool phenomenon!

[@memerreal-tk3mb]

wtf are TLEs

[@unlinkingduck]

Haha a sprites and elves concept has been one I’ve entertained for a long time, nice to see someone else give it a shot

[@ghifariasoka8272]

Electric/Fairy is a type combo that I think should happen more

[@ronangould5989]

It's just so op tho. Doesn't mean gamefreak won't do it even legendaries like Zacien crown get obscene combo types like steel fairy

[@ghifariasoka8272]

@@ronangould5989 Fairy in general is kinda busted. I think there's a reason we haven't seen a Fire/Fairy and Ground/Fairy pokemon, and why it took us so long to get Fighting/Fairy one. But Fairy is also room for really unique designs outside of "uwu cute critters", and even the cute for the sake of cute ones have interesting designs

[@hadalwisp3075]

I'm creating my own ultra beast because of the inspiration that your video gave me, and I started thinking about Stakataka and Blacephalon and what their problem would be and I came to the conclusion that Blacephalon is not only a clown, we need to remember that it's also inspired in fireworks, which have caused problems either in the environment or in the fauna itself. As for Stakataka, it is a set of beings in the form of blocks that seem to be bricks, it's a building, the point is, it would be the representation of how cities expand and consume the wild area, preventing animals from coexisting with the urban areas

[@miracilousmirica1994]

oh what a coincidence, recently I had made Ultra Beast starters of my own! though they were more traditional in the Grass/Ground/Poison trio and looked a bit more 'animalistic' so to say, like alien animals and things like that still I really like these, they're all really cool!

[@mat3mar900]

My original monster catcher idea also used the cyan/magenta/yellow colors as a baseline for the types, cool to see someone else make the connection

[@mat3mar900]

also I really love how Shockorb looks! Pretty in a way but also looking dangerous

[@takarijbartleby]

I had an idea of an archipelago floating in Ultra Space as a parallel to Alola. The Ultra Beast starters would be Flying, Fighting, and Rock. This trio of type of the only perfect triangle without any involvement of the Starter types.

[@johnrox3554]

Amazing ultra beast!!! Love how you kept the themes instead of just making a generic edgy starter

[@DamonDraven]

I feel like the ice starter could have gained the Flying type instead of Fighting. That way each starter's initial type would matter equally by being super effective against another starter's secondary type: Ice beats Dragon, Poison beats Fairy, and Electric beats Flying. The snowflake concept is beautiful though!

[@maglev0789]

These designs are phenomenal at capturing the feel of the Ultra Beasts and I want a Yelectro. The process behind determining the types was also fascinating

[@starsilverinfinity]

Hearing you tie together all the Ultra City(?) starters together was amazing. As for the Zodiacs, i agree with another person tbh - you should make them like Mythical pokemon. However, I have my own idea on how they might fit into the story. They are based on literal mythical/superstitious topics - things which norrmally would not fit in amongst a region based on STEM topics - and as such I think they'd be a perfect stand in as a lesson one's awareness as a leaner - awareness of things that seem like science or seem official but are held up by dated beliefs and/or shady support work. As a learner you gotta stay alert for people trying to peddle ideas not out of interest of progress but simply their own gain, power, just causing trouble, etc - the sort of stuff you wouldnt want to attach yourself too. As literal Zodiac beasts representing these more. . .out there ideas from the past, they'd be a good carrier for the concept in the game I'd say

[@OnyxNinja09]

To make the 3 pokemon fully equal in their type triangles (without using pre-existing base starter types), the typings would have to be as follows: Poison/Dragon, Electric/Fairy, and Ice/Flying. The primary typing beats the secondary typing of the following starter in the triangle. Instead of having the Elec/Fairy type's secondary beating the Ice/Fighting type's secondary.

[@KaiteWDrey]

Those stats would be INSANE! You slap an assault vest on those two bad boys and they become a trick room behemoth and a bullet train made of titanium respectively! I really love the designs and they look crazy viable for competitive too having beast boost too. Edit: I loved this Designs so much I threw together some plausible stats for these two UBs based on the rough spread shown in the video. All UBs stats are prime numbers and all UBs have a base stat total of 570... all except Naganadel with only 540, since this new starters are based on Naganadel I used its based stat total and came up with this: Shockorb (UB:cage) Hp: 167 Atk: 41 Def: 113 Sp Atk: 137 Sp Def: 59 Spe: 23 Glasage (Ub:Spur) Hp: 101 Atk: 109 Def: 83 Sp Atk: 79 Sp Def: 67 Spe: 101 Of the two Shockorb would be the most competitively viable since it has the least amount of useless stats point assigned making a huge menace and a great tool In speed control teams.

[@GynxShinx]

Ice/Flying would've been better to make the primary type good against the other Pokémon's secondary type each time.

[@zabazor_makes]

Red, Blue, Yellow were misunderstood as primary colors. At the time when that theory was created, under the yellowed light of gas lamps, Red, Blue, Yellow looked like primary colors. But now that we have full spectrum indoor lights, Magenta, Cyan, Yellow are closer to true pigment primaries. Now a days, people who talk about color theory tend to agree that CMYK is closer to true primaries than RBY. So many of us have been mislead.😱🎨🖌

I think the only issue with relying on secondary types for the triangle is that it gives the Poison/Dragon a bit of an advantage. I don't know how best to explain it but; Poison hits 'forwards' for super-effective, and 'backwards' for neutral. Dragon hits 'forwards' for an immunity, and 'backwards' for neutral. Electric hits 'forwards' for neutral, and 'backwards' for a resistance. Fairy hits 'forwards' for super-effective, and 'backwards' for neutral. Ice hits 'forwards' for super-effective, and 'backwards' for neutral. Fighting hits 'forwards' for a resistance, and 'backwards' for a resistance. Electric/Fairy's secondary type provides it with an immunity to Poison/Dragon's secondary type (at the cost of a weakness to its primary type), but Ice/Fighting's secondary type only provides it with a weakness to Electric/Fairy's secondary type, and is resisted by Poison/Dragon's primary type AND Electric/Fairy's secondary type. It really gets the short end of the stick in regards to the starters.

[@allaroundfan1]

[@lasercraft32]

Oh man, that is GENIUS! The subtractive primaries is such a cool idea. I too made up my own starters for Ultra Space, but I went for the Poison/Dragon vs. Grass/Dragon vs. Ground/Dragon... Its not perfect, as Grass is resisted by Dragon, making it have a disadvantage, but it was the best I could think of. Your ideas are honestly cooler though. I based mine on parasitic and invasive creatures too (the grass one is based on Scotch Broom, while the ground one is based on Hive Beetles). I don't think I did a good enough job making them feel "alien" though... Yours feel otherworldly, while mine feel... well, _worldly._ :(

[@Clegatron]

I've got an idea for if you make an fire/ice type... Paradoxical hot and cold. Hot is when something is so cold it feels hot and vice versa. No one really knows why and it'd be a perfect fire/ice / ice/fire

[@KingTwelveSixteen]

I love the fully evolved ice-fighting one.

[@yuyosakakipokemonmaster]

I did the same thing, but it was Psychic to Psychic/Stellar (Fear of Colors/Heights: Based on Strobe lights) , Poison, and Fairy (Fear of Love). I made the starters based on phobias since there was a theory that the Ultra beasts are based on different phobias such as Poipole is the fear of needles and both Buzzwole and Pheromosa are the fear of bugs

[@anonymousfog501]

I had a concept for an ultra beast region that i so far haven't done anything with, but I did determine the Starter's types. But instead of effectivness and the like, the primary types *aren't related at all* Poison, Electric, and Fire were what I picked. They also happen to have a Status Effect associated with them that they are immune to. The three of them have completely neutral effectiveness to each other. For secondary types, i wanted a similar setup. I went with Dragon, Normal, and Psychic. All three have no effect on another type, and once again, neutral damage to each other. I don't know if I'll do Fire/Psychic and Electric/Normal or Fire/Normal and Electric/Psychic yet but at least I settled on what types I was gonna pick. Honestly I was so focused on type effectiveness I would have never considered colors.

[@gaster000]

I'd love to use Glasage. They look really cool and have pretty nice stats for their typing(Ice type is meant to be an offensive type, same for Fighting, so them being a fast attacker is great.)

I'm not too fond of Glasage being so humanoid, it looks too much like a regular Pokémon. Maybe I'd like it better if it had only one leg? But then it wouldn't really look *fast* enough for its stats. Shockorb, however? No notes. That's just my starter. Move over, it's mine now.

My only thought is that you maybe should have gone with Dark/Ice only because it fits the fairytale kinda theming Fairy and Dragon types have going on.

[@TLNT2103-zg3sb]

Out of curiosity, would Ice/Flying have worked? That way Electric could be involved in the triangle. (Poison beats Fairy, Electric beats Flying, Ice beats Dragon) Not complaining about Glassage, though, and there aren't nearly enough of Ice/Fighting or Ice/Flying in general.

Zodiac Beasts likely not being useful for the progress of the main game seems perfectly fine by me, since they're like an ideal concept to be the focus of a DLC expansion after all the work involved in fleshing out and polishing the critical story route and minor side quests is already over with.
