Pokémon Tera Leaks as... Pokémon I guess???

[@Tony_AM009]

The Lickilicky/Lickisticki beta design helped explain why Lickitung needed to level up while knowing Rollout in order to evolve.

[@funnymonkey3961]

So does it lick the ground repeatedly as it rolls?

[@miriammercado-rodriguez1048]

Good question ​@@funnymonkey3961

[@quiddlydiddster]

That Disastorus drawing looks awesome. As a certified hater of all of the forces of nature, that design is what I wish they were. Also, Dracanon feels like a mix of Chesnaught, Carracosta, and Tyranitar to me, which is pretty great.

[@DavidJames-mr6rd]

16:20 The weather trio better known as the weather quartet now are based off the 4 Divine beasts. Which were a tiger, a black turtle with a snake, eastern dragon and a giant bird. Each one of these divine beasts also represent a cardinal direction.

[@grahamfowler2196]

Why do people always forget that it is a quartet. Enamorous is pretty fun and doesn't deserve to be shunned.

[@floweytheflower5261]

Ah yes, Thundurus being Seiryu, the Azure Dragon of the East, Thundurus being Suzaku, the Vermillion Bird of the South (the only vermillion thing about it is the gem), Landorus being Byakko, the White Tiger of the West, and lastly Enamorus being Genbu, the Black Turtle-Snake of the North Disastorus could be Kirin, the Center, maybe the therian form would be like a bulky giraffe

[@Esmeagolly]

⁠@@grahamfowler2196because Enamorous came so much later, which causes that disconnect

[@hatmaster7774]

Absolutely love your rendition of "Dracanon" here, it's incredible. Genuinely makes me a lil sour that this guy was scrapped

[@PuppeteerGaming]

For the Burrow pokemon, it's absolutely not anything Groudon-related. The sprite is in the gen 5 sprite style, and we have the broken-down joints of the sprite and an animation test of it on the gen 5 background with another gen 5 beta pokemon. From what I've read, the common consensus is that it's something related to Druddigon or Carracosta, though they both also had beta sprites revealed in this leak. I definitely see a bit of Archeops in the head, especially in your illustration. Nice work on these! You really do the designs justice.

[@Cookievr419]

[@draconisrex4217]

Awesome Designs for the Betamon! Lickysticki looks way better than Lickilicky, Dracanon looks Badass, and Cacterror looks very Interesting! Disastorus looks EPIC, I would Love to see it have a Therian Form! The Forces of Nature Quartet are based off of both Djinn as well as Japanese Deities(Thundurus=Raijin, Tornadus=Fujin, Landorus=Inari, and Enamorus=Ugajin), while their Therian Forms are based off of the 4 Directional Auspicious Beasts(Thundurus=Azure Dragon of the East, Landorus=White Tiger of the West, Tornadus=Vermillion Bird of the South, and Enamorus=Black Tortoise(and snake) of the North)! So, maybe the Therian form for Disastorus could be based off of the Yellow Dragon of the Center, that would be so POWERFUL! Orellia(?) looks Beautiful and her Segmant Partner looks very Formidable, I love it! I can't wait to see what's next!

[@dr.crazystein9536]

Flabébé, Floette, and Florges are one of the Fairy-Type Pokemons that needed the secondary type. Even if they come in colors depending on what region they're in. Stuffed Flower Toys = Fairy/Normal Cactus = Fairy/Grass Flame Lily = Fairy/Fire Water Lily = Fairy/Water Orchid Mantis = Fairy/Bug White Egret Orchid = Fairy/Flying Knautia macedonica 'Thunder & Lightning' = Fairy/Electric Pineapple = Fairy/Fighting Foxglove = Fairy/Poison Cabochon = Fairy/Rock Scorpionweed = Fairy/Ground Morning Glory = Fairy/Psychic Ghost Pipe = Fairy/Ghost Frost Flowers = Fairy/Ice Dragon Arum = Fairy/Dragon Black Bat Flower = Fairy/Dark Tri-Color Stainless Steel Plant = Fairy/Steel

[@techdraconis]

Instead of a turkey, I see a Rock Typhlosion in it. Maybe that is just me.

[@kayagorzan]

Let’s hope this one behaves

[@techdraconis]

@@kayagorzan Haha well it got "banned" before it was able to.

[@shinwanee8162]

Great work. If Disastorous is an amalgam of the Forces of Nature, may I suggest its Therian Forme be some kind of chimera, specifically the yokai Nue. Its common depiction has the head of monkey, body of a tanuki, limbs of a tiger and a snake as its tail. It is nocturnal, can fly and shapeshift, often disguised as a black cloud. It has an eerie bird cry and are regarded as an evil omen bringing bad luck. As for the turkey anatomy question, the red flesh is known as caruncles. The parts have names depending where it grows from the bird. Throat is the wattle, top of head is the crest or comb chickens have, and turkeys have snoods that grow from the forehead that dangles over the beak.

[@KazeTheCursedOne]

For a challenge for a steel type gym leader, how about a factory where you have to operate parts of a machine to progress through each section. As to what the machine makes, maybe it makes gym badges and after you make a gym badge you have to face her at the end of the machine to earn the badge you made from her

[@habungo1]

Congrats on 10k subscribers man! You deserve it!

[@thesterninator]

🎉thank you!!!!

[@AphidKirby]

Woaaahhh your art is soooo good you're perfect to take these designs to their full potential!

[@PriffyViole]

I think the Dragon guy is most likely the precursor to Druddigon and Caracosta, especially since it's a Gen 5 Mon. Pretty sure there's even a bit of Archeops in there, too.

[@deviousj5868]

I see a little bit of Chesnaut

[@PersonOfRandomnesss]

The same group that had it had beta druddigon and caracosta, so that's very unlikely. Definitely gen 5, so maybe haxorus, I can't remember if it was in there. It might just be a scrapped/stored design like noivern was

[@blenddii]

considering "dracanon" was a beta for gen 5, i think it actually eventually became druddigon

[@evelinepotter4551]

That was also my thought.

[@windowstudios45]

@@evelinepotter4551 it kinda looked like Carracosta to me…

[@PersonOfRandomnesss]

There was a beta druddigon in that too same group too (iirc). I don't think there was a haxorous though, and it seems closer to Hax than drudd. Carracosta is a decent shout too, but (again, iirc) it also had a beta in that same portion. It might just be a scrapped/stored design like noivern was

[@MrMynameis12]

With Dracanon's beta sprite, the pose reminds me of Carracosta, so maybe it's an early beta design of that Pokémon.

[@romro8088]

Because of its stance and spikes I thought dracanon could have been a draft for typhlosion but now that you say it's a turkey I cannot unsee it! Btw loved that you added cacterror to the poryco universe, it will be best friends with sporivine

[@AlonsoMaturanaanza]

This looks so good!

[@backyardr.c.6280]

The brown and red one might have been the original version of what became Baxcalibur.

[@PersonOfRandomnesss]

It was in the gen 5 section, so it would have gotten the noivern treatment (gen 5, then stored for later), bit noivern stayed much closer to the design.

[@Cryin98]

From the rest of the design discussion leaks it seems it actually eventually became Tyrantrum.

[@backyardr.c.6280]

@@Cryin98 Very plausible.

[@finnt2863]

20:00 footage got a bit nervous

yeah no idea what happened there. just went back and rewatched and that's a weird bug i guess :/

[@prcervi]

nice to see that even the pokemon deign team likes to start at 1000% on occasion before reeling it back in to make it more in line with standard pokemon art style also mystery kaiju mon looks like a beta carracosta

[@raphaelpanda8683]

Imo, Lickysticki could be really interesting with slighty adjusted stats (110 HP, 105 Atk, 95 Def, 60 Sp.A, 90 Sp.D, 50 Spe) and Speed Boost as its ability. Give it some driving related moves (U-Turn, Flame Wheel, High Horsepower) and make it evolve by leveling up after hiting max. power rollout.

[@moltenren3439]

this is probably the best leak you could have talked about 😰 its a hard time if your favourite pokemon is Typhlosion...

[@LucasF25]

Lickysticki - Gluttony, Oblivious / Thick Fat Cacterror - Water Absorb, Leaf Guard / Stakeout Dracanon - Battle Armor, Mold Breaker / Adaptability Disastorus - Cloud Nine / Prankster

[@levelselectleader]

Ahh yes, tornadus thundorus, landorus and orcanos, my favourite yokai

[@TearfulZorua]

9:30 im pretty sure thats an early design for druddigon. It looks very rocky and angular which fits well for druddigon who is the cave dragon for unova. Edit: 13:50 if you squint, the silhouette looks very similar to finished druddigon. The tail becoming the wings, the neck spikes becoming part of the large head, the stance being much the same. I wonder what led to them changing this design?

[@dragodracon7785]

@TearfulZorua They probably wanted to go with a more Western/Pop Culture stereotypical depiction of a cave dragon. Druddigon fits that bill well. Dracanon here really doesn’t feel like you would see it in a cave mostly due to the tail and it’s coloring. It feels like it looks more like if it got parts from a boat I would say?? They probably used the design here for both Druddigon and Carracosta.

[@PersonOfRandomnesss]

The same part of the leak that had it had beta druddigon (and carracosta) iirc, so likely not beta drudd It might just be a scrapped/stored design like noivern was

[@AzterZU]

I think you see the Turkey-like characteristics in "Dracanon" (cool name btw) just because of the colors, I legit didn't notice it but I see the vision Funnily enough the first thing I noticed about them it's that they have the same pose as Carracosta

[@EzraThunder]

The face of the pokemon at 9:10 looks like it could have been a version of archeops or druddigon imo

[@TheBMan95]

"Dracanon", as you call it, gives me like a early draft of what we know as Kommo-o or Druddigon

[@QueerMrPeabody]

REGIBERTS DRAWING IS AWESOME

[@Glitch1718]

9:36 it kind of gives me the idea of chestnaught in its body shape, so maybe its an early design of thst?

[@pedronunesmoreira5279]

Lickysticki could have an ability that increased the power of attacks that involve rolling by 1.5x. The name could be Wheel Force. And it would also have a normal-type signature move that would deal 60 damage and increase its speed by one level. This attack would be a rolling attack so it would have the ability buff. In a pokemon with higher base stats this would be quite op, but with 85 in attack this pokemon is just good.

[@wallflower4340]

Awesome, I love your renderings. Fabulous job 😅❤❤❤

[@KoreanSpy]

I see the turkey Pokémon ( Dracannon ) as one of the prehistoric mega fauna, the giant sloth (Megatherium), those things were killing machines and weighed a couple tonne. Very similar frame.

[@ShadowEclipex]

The renders done in the style like the Beta Cactaur have some Shin Megami Tensai vibes to them.

[@hondaaccord1399]

Lickysticki edit: Normal-Rock, which I know doesn't do well for type advantages, but his Rollout-required evolution method makes me think he would be a road-rolling wheel that eats things up as it trundles down hills Cacterror edit: Maybe Grass-Ground? Especially since it's so rooted in place Dracanon edit: I love drGon turkey 😊❤

[@realdjungleskog]

Love the upgraded Stern avatar. Missing recent battle scars though.

[@thesterninator]

If they remain scars I’ll have to add them lol

[@karlembleton4042]

I hope you're Lickysticki becomes the canon 3rd evolution to fix that branch! The disappointment of lickitung's evolution was too real. Great job!

[@aliciahuang6329]

Segmant battle sounds like a battle gimmick from the battle facilities. And letting your Pokémon choose the move also depends on natures and moveset.

[@pokemasta6019]

Dracanon: the Burrow pokemon. A dragon and ground type. This strange pokemon was created by Poryco from fossil pokemon from many eras in an attempt to bring different eras together. This led to an unstable monster that only desires to eat, sleep, and dig. Dracanon has caused a fortune of damage to the Poryco facility.

[@SonderSystem22]

Disastorus lowkey gives darkrai possessing one of the members of the forces of nature trio

[@Orion_Mr.Starlight]

24:29 sooo, about that...

[@iggywiggy11]

Dracanon’s sprite immediately looked like carracosta to me, this looks more like a land bound form though.. the tail could be used to whip up sand for cover while hunting. Love these designs and can’t wait for your next video :)

[@LavaTyrant]

Wow, you beat me to it, I might have to speed things up. Already made a thundurus and Simisear render so lets see if I can get a few more done and cook up a video 👀 Awesome work btw, your thundurus looks insanely cool.

[@deviousj5868]

That weird thing you call a turkey is a mix of Caracoasta, Chesnaut, and Druddigon.

[@danielmalinen6337]

The forces of nature quattro are based on Japanese Shinto gods and their therian forms on the four "Auspicious Beasts." And according to what was previously revealed, there were originally supposed to be four and the previously cut fourth member was retroactively introduced in the Legends Arceus.

[@InhiXD]

12:45 I think this pokemon is based on Cockatrice a dragon mixed with chicken, the arms with the spikes look like wings with feathers, and all the details you mentioned in the video

[@cloudstrife532220]

Segmant is a Durant, very nice.

[@boilingfire]

I actually think Dracanon is an early concept for Excadrill. Like the digging is there, as well as the colours and spikes. But I think they had too many dragon resembling pokemon there, so they changed it to a mole.

[@evelinepotter4551]

Disastorus looks like a Master to the Forces of Nature... Like Regigigas to the Regis...

[@jgr7487]

Dracanon looks like Drudiggon & Archeops had a baby

[@morphingninja]

I saw "Dracanon" and thought it might have some relation to Druddigon in terms of a few design elements, largely the chest/belly designs, the arm spikes and spikier outline. It feels potentially like a counterpart rather than an evolution or alternate design.

[@SonderSystem22]

Segmant reminds me of those zombie ants? I know paras/parasect already kinda did that but adding the steel is really interesting…

[@WillofTheGhost]

4:07 lolliollie and being a normal fighting type first part of the name is like licking a lollipop and second is that trashes around like a skateboarder using the Ollie skate trick

[@vanirie434]

Despite their scary visage and eerie call, Cacterrors lack the confidence and aggression of Cacturns. They prefer to be sedentary, and are often used as granary guardians :)

[@aliciahuang6329]

lickitung evolves into lickilicky after knowing rollout. And the beta lickilicky design or lickysticki is more wheel shape it's body more built for using rollout. Ability to give for lickysticki. No guard to make rollout land every time. Thick fat look at it. Sticky hold probably is. Extra ability gluttony.

[@BismuthBorealis]

... I always forget lickitoungue has an evo. For good reaaon.

[@ghosttoast9983]

The red thing on a turkey is called a snood

[@XanderMander006]

The therian form for Disastorus could be either a giraffe or an okapi.

[@Lilystudios27]

4:51 that's a straight out of a analog horror creature then a pokemon

[@engineeringsentry6625]

Thing to note. 1. While beta Lickilicky is neat, I prefer the final design as it contains more elements of Lickitung (The body shape of a smaller orb on top of a larger orb). 2. Beta Cacturne feel more in line with it’s Pokédex entrees (Stalking it’s prey till they die of exhaustion) of maybe it’s just the more edgy art style. 3. With the mention of “Dracanon” looking turkey like and it’s more obvious Kaiju design. There is something that Turkey’s and Kaiju’s have in common, Parade Floats, and something the has happen with Float are them getting caught on streetlight and other sidewalk hazards. So it’s easy to see it using its wide and armored arms to just walk through a street and wreck property. 4. The Beta Forces of Nature chest pattern look like Taoist monk (Maybe it’s the pattern that doing it), so maybe is contrast to the other Therian froms, instead of turning into a beast, it become more human with Taoist symbolism. 5. There is a zero chance that any of these designs will be used. Gamefreak wants to be unexpected, unusual, & never before seen compared to other Monster catchers or rpg’s as a whole. The leak have notes where a flying type evolution of Eevee was plan but ultimately scrapped for looking to close to one a fan made. Also in those leaks, there were plans for a Flamingo pokemon in gen 6, and while many cry for how better it looked compared to the one made in gen nine (Flamigo), it’s name was Flame- ingo, the literal playground 6 year old joke Mon. So no, if anything these leaks have killed any possible reuse as now there is an expectation.

[@DarkwingSnark]

Honestly? My instinctual thoughts was that the 'Dracanon' beta design was just an early concept of Baxcalibur. Though it could have also been a fossil pokemon that got scrapped.

[@BlastChup]

Can we all start calling that brown monster Shichimenchō

[@TheMetastasia]

9:30 it looks a lot like Kommo-o. Maybe it was meant to be a Mix of Comodo dragon and a frill-neck-lizard.

[@ZcareKrow]

14:52 actually this is just Thundurus, we have also the Thornadus design which is practically the same as this but with the actual differences the final designs have about the other two like only one horn, the tail or the coloration I thought i see the Landorus beta in a "beta battle testing" image where is with "Dracanon" and the bubble mouse one but I'm not sure it's really official

[@BlastChup]

I hope by za or gen 10 we get a very close recreation of the brown monster

[@lockeyrabbit]

tbh i think draconon was supposed to be an evo to tirtouga just look at carracosta, long arms, short stubby legs, beaked head, long claws, kinda a shell forming on its neck (the red part) and the scaley underbelly either it was gonna be an evo to tirtouga/carracosta cus it does share similarities to carracosta maybe it wouldve been a 2 stage fossil, or its own two stage turtlemon or maybe it was gonna be an original one stage turtlemon fossil that was a rock water before they had scrapped it and came up with carracosta

[@Stylus02]

12:00 my initial thought was a souped up armadillo

[@tonyfernandez2962]

Draconon was from the gen 5 leaks so it wasn't a beta Groudon I do feel like it definitely could have been a scrapped pseudo legendary final evo and it might have been scrapped because they couldn't find out previous evolutions for it or that it was potentially a scrapped 3rd fossil like Aerodactyl figuring that gen 5 was supposed to be a soft reboot to the series and gen 5 had a lot of similarities with gen 1

[@catboysephiroth560]

You know you're truly a master artist when you branch into something you don't normally do and nail the fuck out of it. Working in what you feel are limited constraints and doing wonderful work anyway is really inspiring to see!! Definitely subbing. Also, tiny linguistic nitpick- "pre-evolution" as a term for your fakemon is a little confusing, as pre-evo(lution) already refers to a pre-evolved Pokemon, and yours are regressions or de-evolutions. Pre-evo also suggests that they can evolve again, which DOES fit(maybe? If the regressed forms are capable of evolving?) but since the artificially-induced transformation is making a Pokemon regress, I'd suggest maybe renaming the resulting Pokemon a de-evo(lution) or re(gressive)-evo(lution). Devolving is already a minor topic touched on in the anime, and regression is going backwards from a better state of being. Idk, just seems more accurate to me. I love what you are doing here, and I hope to see more of it soon!!!

[@harry.t.radio95237]

My first thought when I saw the turkey/dinosaur sprite was that it was a beta Rhyperior, but I'm pretty sure it was found in gen 5? Maybe it was meant as a split evolution or something? I can see what you mean with it looking like a turkey though, the tail (?) *does* look pretty similar to a turkey's tail feathers. Edit: Thundurus and Tornadus are based on Raijin and Fujin respectively. I don't know too much about Japanese mythology, but apparently they're the Shinto gods of Lightning and Wind
