Pokemon Ephemerald The Rom Hack With The Weirdest Pokemon!

[@jaythepizza7600]

The Carvanha and Sharpedo are based off the Junji Ito manga “Gyo” where fish with robotic legs crawl out of the ocean

[@miscellaneoof]

And the volbeat is a reference to Mr. Tickle from Mr men

I'd make Reuniclus Psychic/Poison; I love Reuniclus to bits and it would make a lot of sense, due to the fluid surrounding it being toxic

[@exa_eille]

Oh heyyo it’s the game I made! Thanks so much for playing it, and for the prestigious score of 7.9/10 Too Much Water ;) I think your assessment that some are really cool and some are really dumb is totally accurate, both because I didn’t know how to spritrart at *all* when I started making this, but also because I didn’t want anyone to be boring. My goal was really to elicit a strong reaction out of people, whether it be “wow that’s badass” or “oh no what did she do to my boy” It’s super fun when my references aren’t undsrstood though haha (understandable, some of them are very stupid references). Sharpedo is a reference to a horror manga called Gyo. Forretress is a refefence to musician Porter Robinson, Volbeat and Illumine are children’s books called Mr.Men. The Kanto Starters and Eevee were typed Dark/Ghost/Ice/Dragon especially so they could be on the elite four teams. There’s a lot going on!

[@drmantistoboggan2537]

Loved the samurai champloo hitmon!

[@ShadeAlder]

I just want to point out how amazing you did. I was thoroughly impressed with a large majority of what I have seen thus far in my playthrough, and if I can help with your next project at all please reach out. Been drawing fakemon since I was 10 years old playing Gen 1 and I'm happy to provide anything that I can. Also I just spoiled Dragonite for myself and WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BOY!!!???

[@jaborsey_joseph]

How do you get it to work?

[@makisbizarreadventure4669]

Your Ninja Star Starmie was super cool in design and I hope we get something like that in the future. Loved it

[@zememerr2329]

I think the way I’d handle the whole Steel and Psychic thing is create a new Freeze-Dry type move that’s super effective on Steel Types but is a Psychic type move. Kinesis is a largely useless move, I think it’d make sense to turn into that because of bending spoons and all

[@bonniethefemboy]

I don't agree with the steel nerf, it was created to resist physic type moves. And letting it only have one immunity and bug type resit makes it extremely unbalanced.

[@hendriktropartz7619]

Its def. more balanced than before ... pretty obviously

[@Marblesoda821]

I mean steel resisting dark, ghost, and psychic just never made sense to begin with, especially the psychic resistance since logically speaking psychics have that whole "bending metal spoons" thing. Then there's the fact that it resists so many other types that losing one doesn't even matter since steel's mostly a physical type anyway.

[@creature6715]

It still has normal,rock,ice, itself,grass and dragon resists

[@okayfine3728]

Dragon, Grass, Ghost, Dark, Psychic, Bug, Fairy, Flying type moves doesn't do much damage to Steel while it is immune to Poison and only weak to Fire, Ground and Fighting.

[@Astraision]

@@Marblesoda821 In every game past gen 5 Ghost and Dark have been neutral to steel. Steel and Dark type were created to balance the psychic that is their entire purpose taking away Steels. Prior to fairy steel type hit two types super effectively. It's not supposed to be an offensive type so taking away it's only strength defeats the purpose especially when you take away the type it was created to counter. And your metal spoon comment is irrelevant as the only Pokémon ever shown to do this is the Abra line so what are you saying? The Abra line should be super effective to steal because they bend spoons? It's a stupid change no matter how you look at it completely unnecessary too.

[@VGGBrayden]

Volbeat and Illumise are actually designed after Mr. Tickle and Little Miss Sunshine from The Mr. Men Show

[@iurichiba]

0:24 uhmmmm is that freaking Picollo???

[@Braydonottv]

I’m am so glad I saw someone else notice that as well

[@SSJ2Devdon911]

0:24 nobody's talking about piccolo 😂

[@deoxeneverlasting4632]

One thing I noticed about this game is some pokemon are word play jokes. Like rattata with cigarettes = "cigaRAT" there's anime references, general themes like the oddish line, seedot like being a metal band, etc. Interesting takes on the mons

[@carlsoll]

6:48 That poor Oddish

[@mochaccino1796]

I would definitely make Porygon line Psychic/Electric type.

[@michaelmorris5229]

I think it would be really cool if Zwiggo would re-visit radical red as the new 3.02 update made so many cool changes

[@rocky_027]

Did it make game harder or easy?

[@smopal6418]

​@@rocky_027 they made it very easy bro 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@sunshinejameth]

Miltank, wigglytuff and farfetch'd are my favourites. Delibird is also amazing Some fun facts: delcatty is based off of the creators cat Volbeat and illumise are based off of the mr men and little miss series Horsea seadra and kingdra are based off of lyres and harps Every eeveeultion is part ghost type and are implied to be kinda dead Entei suicune and raikou are based off of the three lord from fire emblem three houses

[@davidbehrendt8812]

Would be cool if you let the new pokemon on the screen for a second so we could look at them 😉

[@mmkvat]

Agreed. Everything is just way too busy, especially with the combination of speed-up and the editing, it’s like watching a summary of a speedrun.

[@STINKGAMINGkk]

I have a solution it’s called pausing the video

[@mmkvat]

@@STINKGAMINGkk Wow, that’s not annoying at all, thanks for sharing your groundbreaking innovation!😂

[@motadooo]

Lugias typing should be dragon water or smth

[@jackhowe7887]

19:12. That just looks like a stand user.

[@justyouraverageapple6970]

Lugia has the flying type instead of water because it went underwater because the wind from its wings destroyed everything so it makes sense kinda

[@Ar0474]

I've gotta play this hack! Especially for that Torchic fighting type! As for my type change, I'd love to make Bulbasaur a Grass Electric type! Imagine still having vine whip but they're wires that shock their opponents!

[@metawolf987]

Even before seeing this, I honestly think the Pokemon series should have been rebooted in an alternate universe where almost all existing pokemon have different types, along with different names wherever necessary.

[@mamutepeq]

I'd make toucannon dark/flying type to set it apart from the other regional birds. It would make sense with it being super angry all the time and with how real life toucans steal babies and eggs from other birds' nests.

[@mistedscript2722]

The Volbeat and Illumise visual inspirations are based around the kids book characters "Mr Tickle" and "Little Miss Sunshine"

Hey @zwiggo. Love your videos. Have you thought of a 4x weakness challenge for any base game or ROM hack? This would be where every pokemon on your team has a 4x weakness to something (like your fav swampert to grass, or a masquerain to rock, etc.)

[@wailmerwithinternetaccess7934]

I would live to see Wailord as a Flying/Water-type!
