LET ALL THE SWAP TYPE POKÉMON IN A POKÉMON GAME AND THE GAME WOULD BE CALLED “Pokémon Swap”

[@pinkpearl9848]

Some kid at my summer camp apparently had an uncle who worked at nintendo, so maybe next summer I'll get him to get us that mewtwo

[@sandcastle1310]

it would be great if u can create your own fan made pokemon game hahaha

[@redacted2740]

I don’t know but it oddly makes sense for mewtwo to have different types and appearances it’s something about it supposing to be the perfect Pokémon that make me want this to be canon

[@groundon462]

That's actually some interesting lore regarding lapras and the extinction Pokédex entry. A kid in Japan was really sad after reading the Pokédex entry and decided to just keeping breeding and then releasing lapras into the wild. This story reached game freak and they decided to say in Pokémon sun and moon that lapras was no longer under threat due to dedicated conservation programs.

[@keps3934]

That’s very cul

[@pigismal1154]

they should have given that kid a shiny lapras code

[@BeanutButler]

[@plutoniiums]

Seeing Golem didn't exactly excite me lmao but the type swap was hands down _the_ *coolest* I have ever seen and the backstory is genius!

[@moxie2D]

Legit same, so happy with how it turned out

[@zetsu0737]

Ok

[@JoshtheOverlander]

For a type swap, I actually have a Smeargle idea that gives it a secondary Fairy typing and often paints fantastical and whimsical imagery for children. They're often partnered with daycare employees and babysitters to help take care of baby Pokemon and small children. For those who want a darker dex entry, they are highly sensitive empaths and when a child dies, it loses its drive to paint for quite a while.

[@PancakebatterLuigi]

I hate smeargle, and I don’t care if little timmy gets painted a fantastical picture of a dick if it means smeargle is in the area. I don’t trust smeargle.

Dark Golem looks amazing. Would have been cool to give him a new move "Implosion" since he's a black hole now.

[@poketipsa.r.p9273]

Yeah this is make sense golem can't teach explosion but he can learn implosion

[@TaterTheManlyMan]

Oooo yes

[@SuperBrawIer]

It should’ve been dark ghost type

[@HeronWolf]

Honestly I was expecting the fire Mewtwo to have a backstory based on Blaine, as the original mewtwo had some of his dna, and he is the fire type gym leader in gen 1

[@danortiz]

Me too. The lab being full of fire types and all makes a lot of Sense.

[@nolansaylor7710]

There is also mention of how the lab exploded, which was due to Mewtwo breaking out but still could be related. Maybe a new Mewtwo was being created and got a bit exposed to fire in the process.

[@TheAmericansinger]

Honestly, I definitely want to just see more of these. I'm a big dnd guy and this is totally giving me inspirations to throw at my players

If we're limiting ourselves to Gen 1, I'd like to see an Ice-type Arcanine since I feel Arcanine and Ninetails are more of the counterparts than Sandslash and Ninetails. Edit: Maybe Ice/Fighting, so it becomes a trio between the three, so it's a Fairy-Fighting-Steel trio, with a primary Ice type for all of them.

[@Thug_Nose]

The designs, the edited cries, the backstories are just so well freaking made. Well done bro

[@elicenyne]

Prediction: lapras surfed so many times it learned how to surf on the air

[@Mcdouble123]

Definitely

[@magmo6684]

.?.

[@El_Gremlin8187]

Correct (kind of)

[@otbaht]

I imagined haunter as something that is like living mercury personally. For golem I imagined a statue of a graveyard. specifically the statue of someone who was brutally killed and the darkness of the murder brok the statue reformed it and fused it with dark energy. For lapras I imagined something about it moving on fog/clouds as so much of its water evaporated it became lighter than air. Lastly for mewtwo I imagined the chemicals pumped through mewtwos body as he was created burned his body inside and out as they tested his ability to rebuild himself as recover is a common move he has. Eventually he surpressed his flames long enough to make them think he died and when they went to check on his he let it all out and escaped with the flames now always on as his body adapted to the chemicals to the point that its body would produce it like blood.

[@GamerGrovyle]

Dark Type Golem would probably make the meta require a opportunity attacker just to kill it after the first explosion.

[@Matticus1229]

Absolutely love these videos. Not going to lie these redesigns scratch an itch I never knew I had until I started seeing the websites popup where you can fuse Pokemon together lol. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing more of your content!

[@moxie2D]

That's awesome to hear, I've had the same itch for a while and I'm glad to finally be making these! I'm gonna mess with one of those fusion websites in one of the upcoming videos. Appreciate it!

[@akumayoxiruma]

Your Golem design is phaenomenal, it really looks like a type variant with interesting elements.

[@frostie4228]

Omg this video concept is good but the execution is BRILLIANT!! Even going the extra mile to animate a chibi game preview animation of each Pokémon is so well done! and the Pokédex entries to give them all real stories is such a classic Pokémon move where we feel them to be REAL characters with backstories and empathise with them- ugh I just CANT this is too good 😍😍

[@ACDBunnie]

Wow this is amazing. I watch a lot of drawing and animation channels and they all do a Pokémon video, "Pokémon except _______". But this is the best one I've seen. Not only does your art style make it look like these designs could be in the actual show and the way you incorporate elements of certain types is so intuitive and well done, but you do so much extra: the backstory, the stats, the pokedex entry, you even make a sprite. That's like so much. I don't see other art youtubers do that when they do a video on pokemon. It's cool. Please make this a series!

[@XxXxStrongerxXxX]

I honestly expected some blue flames at least on the mewtwo, would’ve provided a unique and some extra color to it! Otherwise really great video and awesome ideas!

I would like to see a electric type mimikyu or a dragon type Haunted

[@JoshtheOverlander]

Gonna go through each one and go over weaknesses and resistances based on new typings. Starting off with Steel-type Haunter, it's likely it would retain it's Ghost typing and simply replace the original Poison secondary typing with Steel. Doing so would give it all the weaknesses, immunities, and resistances of Aegislash, with the exception of Levitate giving it immunity to Ground, leaving it neutral only to Water and Electric attacks, weak to Fire, Ghost, and Dark attacks, and resistant to literally everything else with immunities to Normal, Fighting, and Poison (Plus the aforementioned Ground). Needless to say: *Holy Shit* Edit 1: Dark Golem, much like it's Alolan variant, would probably be Rock/Dark-type, which means it would have the same type matchups as Tyranitar. Not the worst spread at all, though this boom boy better watch out for Fighting-types. Edit 2: Since Moxie specified making his Lapras Flying and Fairy, that means I don't need to think over secondary typings that could've carried over from previous evolutions or original versions. Flying/Fairy Lapras has the same type matchups as Togekiss, more neutral matchups than the last two, an immunity to Ground and Ghost, and purely regular weaknesses to five separate typings. Edit 3: Eh, I'm not really vibing with this Mewtwo design. Although Moxie took inspiration from multiple Gen 1 Fire-types, it still just ends up looking like Charizard, which I know is the idea more or less, but it just feels underwhelming after the really stellar designs in the rest of the video. As for typing, it's pure Fire, so same matchups as any Pure Fire-type. If you were to give it Psychic as a Primary and place Fire as a Secondary, then the same matchups as Delphox. Pyrokinesis and all that. Also, Hidden Ability Flame Body? This Mewtwo is gonna be hatching eggs left and right.
