Redesigning Our Pokedex PART 2 (We're ACTUALLY done now 😉)

[@whatevaneusens5174]

THE GHOST LINE'S LOOKIN WAY BETTER WITH THIS ONE

[@Bodoque-yt3px]

Yaquina and yoronaqua look good but I think og liloriña looked better

[@everfluctuating]

@@Bodoque-yt3px i think the og felt a little too generic personally. i feel like the new design leans into its themes a bit better

[@nerdgator1379]

By redesigning Uranaqua with thighs, Jack has officially made the region’s thirst trap Pokémon.

[@expdelphi1486]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@SkittleBombs]

melumuse was bent over from the beggining

[@daneroberts1996]

What do you mean? Gastronaut has literally been there from the very beginning

[@Cherrytangela]

I mean, she was already a thirst trap in a way.

[@randomchiz]

I'm hoping the Sepia is a callback to the Mermay challenge, and how a lot of the images for Argyle's logs had a sepia tone to them

[@charliemcfadden5882]

It's gotta be right?

[@dyinlivin]

im thinking it could also be a play with the past/future theming of the region and also perhaps with the slow destruction/fading of these environments due to climate change!

[@Subjectively]

Ding ding ding!

[@kaniyaru117]

That was my thought, too!

[@Halberds8122]

Me too

[@mediocolor8159]

I really like the idea of getting all the way to the bottom of the ocean and just finding Melumyst blasting some deafening metal vocals down there. That's the kind of life I'd want to live if I were a Pokémon Edit: Wow, this comment blew up a bit. I guess a lot of people want that undersea screamo life, too

[@dotthedot9080]

Imagine going down there and she's just dueting with Darwin from TawoG singing "without you" lmao

[@8scoot8]

Are the sirens shinies meant to mirror the way that the main mermay drawings are drawn? If so that’s so cool! Love all the redesigns in this video and so happy to see the Mazah region get wrapped up, can’t wait to see what comes next. Well done!

[@ShriveledSpleen]

I think you figured it out!

[@IronCrown]

My initial thought was that this was meant to be to represent the pollution and destruction of ocean environments, but that makes more sense!

[@-ix-3152]

They're very clearly references to the other Mermay images he drew.

[@CoreKatalyst]

I won’t lie, mermay is definitely one of my absolute favorite series from you and to hear you’re wanting to make an enigmorph centered monster collecting game-series is so exciting to me! I can’t wait to see what you do with that! ❤

[@Subjectively]

Yay, thank you! We’re excited too!

[@paperbort3669]

The sirens seriously look so much better than before. I like how completely distinct they are from eachother while also clearly being related. Also, I love how the shinies reference the sepia tone of your Mermay Art (that's my guess anyways)

[@noodlesandeggs1512]

I’m loving how much of your new designs look more “floaty” and less stiff. I really noticed it especially in the sirens redesign. I have been on the journey from the Mazah Pokédex ever since it’s inception so I’m happy to see it finally done

[@Rexthepowerful]

I'm going to miss the Mazah region so much! I used to watch it from when the starters episode came out and by the time a year had passed, I watched every episode over and over and you inspired me to create my own fakemon region and I really appreciate all the hard work you've put into this, since you led me to starting my art back up, it really makes me sad to see it's ending but thank you for all you've given me, for all you've given us, we appreciate you Jack, Goodbye Mazah

[@TheUltima_Werewolf]

Same here!

[@starr_tots]

after 3 years of loving this region. it finally being over doesn’t make me sad like i thought it would. i feel proud? yknow despite not doing anything and just watching. it’s a great feeling. thank you for the last 3 years of efforts

[@thedaylights7996]

The Maza region project started as I made a lot of major changes in my life, and now as I move into a new section of my life, subjectively is too. Its been wonderful to watch this project grow for the past few years.

[@kiaz1st]

Mad that the maza region era has been going on for so long, and that it’s finally come to a close! When you released the first video I had no idea it would turn into the behemoth project that it is, but I’m so glad it did. There’s something to be said about long, steady projects that we can all watch grow and pour our love into, but I’m also glad to be seeing it finally finished. It’s such a relief to get to the end of a project, and to look back at it happy with what you’ve created. I’m SOOO excited to see what concepts you jump onto next, apoctober is a story I’ve been wanting to see more of and has really hooked me, but I know that whatever challenge you take on next is gonna be a creative feast, I can’t wait!!

[@gibbsterV]

I wished that there was more that could be done with this but I just have to accept that this is over but of course we shouldn't be sad that it's over. We should be happy and grateful that it happened. Your deep dives while making these has helped me and so many others grow as artists and while you might not make any region I hope you continue to do Pokemon and change and inspire us like you did over these past few years

[@treadingwater86]

I absolutely love Yoronaqa's new design and how expressive it looks, as well as the way the dress is cut reminding me of ghostly fire. Amazing job!

[@lforc25]

I LOVE the siren redesigns, as someone who, admittedly, didn't watch the original Mermay videos, when I saw their designs on other videos, their concepts didn't read to me at all. All I got was "Oh, they're vaguely otherworldly and alien but they're from the ocean"

[@chevyharrison3471]

Stunning edits, Jack! Thankful for everything you've done for the Mazah region. It's how I discovered the channel. I can't wait to see what direction you take the channel!

[@bdee3097]

I can’t believe this series is over after three years! I’ve been watching this project develop since you made your first drafts for the starters, before you even planned for this to be a full region!

[@Steveofthejungle8]

Congrats on ending this giant project! Could you maybe upload a video just showing the Pokémon and their dex entries in order?

[@deepfriedfish]

Jack, this has been some of the most inspirational and funny enough educational content I’ve seen on KZbin in a long time. I can’t thank you enough for this series of content, and while I hate to see this end, I cannot wait to see what’s to come!

[@Just_Skyla]

Man I remember when the sirens were first being posted with Mermay... It's incredible to see how far you guys have come! Looking forward to whatever comes next!

[@Jack-sy8mr]

It’s been an incredible journey, and it’s bittersweet for it to end, but I’m sure what comes next from Subjectively will be absolutely incredible, but that’s just my..subjective opinion 😉✨

[@rat7791]

The end of an era, very bittersweet, but you should be so proud of the work you've done and how far you've come along as an artist. It's so incredibly admirable.

[@thenoisemaker8335]

I really appreciate the slight change you made to maizmen's redesign, and while I still prefer the og, this is definitely a LOT better (personally) to look at compared to the version you made last time with the brown stalk. The yellow/cream colour fits a lot more here and isn't jarring to look at, will happily use this on my team! Been following this for years now and while I probably won't watch much else on your channel until you make a possible 2nd fakemon region, or just make another video on a game I like, I will pop back here every now and then. Also as someone who is doing art at a higher lvl in college, eventually university, watching this series has genuinely made me a better artist imo, as well as watching some of your other videos on 'overdesigning characters' or 'creating strong creature designs'. Looking forward to what you do next, and thank you for making some of the best looking (and real looking) fakemon on the site. 👍

[@mr.doggothegreat7287]

What an amazing note to end this era on!! It’s like a bittersweet farewell to one of my favorite chapters! I also can’t wait to see what the future holds for this channel ❤

[@garbagegilbert5811]

I’ve been following along for almost 3 years now. Since the lilorina video’s debut. It so awesome to see how far you’ve come as an artist. This series is what inspired me to start drawing. It’s a bit of a bittersweet feeling seeing it end but I’m excited to see what you’ve got in store for the future!

[@BellameeAce]

The first draft for Melumonder (I probably spelled that wrong) is so WIFE I can't believe it's not the final design! Still mad respect for not quitting until you're satisfied, no matter how many times it takes. Still, bro that first draft is so etherial and alluring. If I saw that in the pokemon universe I would definitely let it drown me lmao

[@matthewarmento4363]

Having been here since the beginning with the starters, I just want to say it's been a blast watching Subjectively create not just the Mazah region, but define more of themself as a channel altogether. The art you produce, the info and fun you share with your audience have drawn in such a wonderful community, and I'm proud to say I'm part of it. Thank you Jack for the awesome region, can't wait to see what you bring next. And I'll be checking the untamed project for more info

[@salcaudata100]

It's been a real treat to watch this project grow and change over the years, and I couldn't be more grateful for all the help and advice that came along the way. Congratulations on hitting the finish line!

[@HoodedHavoc]

As someone who loves bats, I found Chespika originally kinda fun; the redesign I found took a way all of its energy. I really love how dynamic the final design is. Definitely something I'd like to use on my team.

[@ghoulboards]

I hope that you are encouraged by your work! A few friends and I have been following your channel since the beginning of this series and we are all in agreement that you have nailed the pokemon art style better than any other artist we've seen. Honestly, better than the pokemon team themselves with some of their designs which is crazy. Kudos to Subjectively.

[@jonglover5141]

I’m in the middle of the video but I have to say the ghost underwater lady line is so phenomal such a considerable upgrade. Was saying wow audibly when I saw the designs

[@flounderingfish2480]

I love all the changes shown in this video! Chespika looks like such a cute troublemaker that I would love to have on my team! Liloriña’s evolutions I don’t have much to say, but I love the slight personality shifts for them (the moody teen and the red-handed killer definitely tell a story of an “entitled” character resorting to very drastic measures, but that’s just my take). And the sirens! Absolutely love what you’ve done with the sirens! Younger me would be so insane over them, let me tell you. My guess for why you chose a constant sepia color palette for the shinies is maybe old pictures? Before colored pictures were a thing, people would only have grainy black-and-white or sepia pictures, and maybe the shinies nod to these old-timey pictures that started confirming oral tales of these pokemon which were at first dismissed by skeptics. That’s my guess on the siren shinies, at least.

[@windmill9998]

thank you so much for this amazing adventure!!! it's been such a blast seeing a new Mazah video in my notifications, and i've learned so much about not just Pokémon designs, but character designs in general! thank you guys so much for everything so far, and good luck going forward!! i can't wait to see what you do next!!!

Honestly this is my favorite pokemon region ever, including the main games. I realy can imagine myself using every pokemon in my team wich I can't say for even my favourite's like platinum's, emerald's and black's pokedex! I finaly just want to say thank you for making something to look forward for over 3 years and thank you for making some of my favourite pokemon/creature design's ever!

I'm from Mexico and I'm thoroughly impressed that you can keep cultural consistency while creating designs that would definitely fit in the world of Pokémon. Can't wait to see more, and if GF ever decides to make a Mexican or Mesoamerican region (which I think they eventually will, due to all the mythology, culture, and history they can borrow from), I really hope they hire you.

Having been here since pre-mazah on this channel and being a fan and being so excited every time a new Mazah video came out and having since started to make my own fakemon region(with an artist friends help) I feel as though an amazing chapter has come to a fitting close. While I'm sure everyone would love for there to be more Mazah or Fakemon region videos I'm certain that anything that Jack and Clair make in the future will be amazing, informative, entertaining and all around brilliant. Thank you so much for giving pokemon fans, artists, and creatives like myself something to inspire us. Cannot wait to see what comes next, and hopefully, one day, I can share my creativity with people and inspire and entertain them in even a small semblance of what you have done

I believe the sepia filter on the Siren shinies reflects the images in Argyle Finch's journal - faded colours to match the 1950s ish aesthetic of the old sailor's encounters drawn out at the same time as the sirens.

Lads and Ladies, we missed the chance for Chespika to have a flying elbow sprite.

Well dang. Mazah's really ending now. It's been a wonderful journey! I started watching this series with the Super Self Indulgent Smaugust videos. And I first commented on the redesigns for Peroxotal. It was so much fun watching you draw Fakemon in an official manner, and watch your style evolve over the course of three to four years! I also love how proud yet humble you are about your art. You make good points about improving your skills and being open to others' opinions. This is something that I've learned when I work on my KZbin videos. Even if they weren't related to art or my Fakemon region Erblin, I got to learn how to handle my videos and make them palpable for everybody else. Before these critiques, I had text dialogue that was too fast to read properly. So it's important for everyone to try and listen to our fans and get another perspective on how we can draw art pieces or edit videos! I'm still working on Erblin today. And even though I'm hard on myself and get easily burnt out, watching and learning from others gets me excited to create things! And I have to thank you Jack for being one of those artists who gave me not only inspiration to create, but also motivation! Oh! Sepia sirens? Argyle Finch themed posts were colored in a sepia style. That's a big reference! I like it!

[@matthewnolan4958]

I've been with you since before the start of the Maza series and although I'm sad to see it come to an end, I'm so happy to have the old videos to look back on and enjoy again.

[@aidandoyle3570]

This has been my FAVORITE thing to keep up with on all of KZbin. I would always wake up, make breakfast before work, and watch the newest Mazah region update video. It was a weekly ritual for me. And fantasizing about what my team would be if there was ever a game. Seeing this series come to a conclusion is very sad for me, but as an artist, i 100% understand the need to put it to rest and move on. Knowing the fan game is coming, and will provide an eternal life to this idea, brings me lots of joy. Thank you for having such a brilliant mind, and for creating this amazing region. I cant wait to continue to support you with your future creations!!

[@two-robinjays]

incredibly excited to see that new collectible monster concept you teased! it’ll be super interesting to see how your study of what makes Pokémon designs appealing translates into making an equally appealing but distinct thing of your own. again, can’t wait to see it!

[@kingkurtis]

I absolutely adored the developments of the mazah region from the start and this was a lovely conclusion. As part of the contrast it might be fun to see you do some designs that could fit into other beloved series but with lower stakes like digimon, they can just literally be anything from over designed to under designed. A sonic OC would be interesting but you would end up getting a lot of that fanbase, for better or worse. I think it would be interesting to see you approach environment design from a character design perspective. My guess for sepia is that is how their depictions are in universe, as the locals have either sketched them out with primitive art supplies or they have just recently gotten film and so the pictures are in sepia, I'd assume the latter though as berries for colourful pigments would be quite an early development for artists. (which thinking about it would make for an amazing shiny design, like cave/ruins painting colour palette)

[@nbkarkat]

please keep doing content (not necessarily pokemon, just in general) like this alongside your monthly challenge series (WHICH I LOVE)!! i love your creative process, your designs, your input and ideas. it's been prevalent in this series, in the league of legends series, in all of the videos that i've enjoyed!

You could easily incorporate lore of Meloetta into the Sirens. Meloetta being inspired by the Sirens to the point that it gained its Psychic-Type after encountering the Sirens in Mazha. (Since Meloetta is Normal/Psychic while in Aria Forme, and Normal/Fighting in Pirouette Forme)

What an incredible feat to have pulled off alongside your community; I know you’re going to miss the Mazah region but the feeling of completing an endeavor as ambitious as this must feel absolutely incredible too! I think you nailed these last final designs, and Melumist was a particular standout of proof of your growth! Congrats again to you and the channel again and best of luck moving forward with your new ambitions!!!

[@Subjectively]

Thanks Bonny!!

[@ToasterPig2346]

Love the whole region, huge fan of all of these redesigns, it breathes so much more life into each pokemon that they go from just some pokemon I would never choose, to ones I would absolutely use in gameplay. The Melu quartet changes I think are my favourite, before this, I didn't even notice the deep see creature mimic on Melumist, but now because it's so visible and clear it's 100% my favourite out of the 4! Also good luck on your future youtube endeavours, big fan of all the freakazoid creatures so anytime those appear I'll be watchin' 'em

[@hopejaworski9097]

Melumyst was already my favorite of the four sirens, and the redesign for her is perfect!

[@WYD28]

16:22 I love melumourn!! The details on the coral legs are amazing! I love the pink tint on them!! 19:41 I'm surprised melumist was your least favorite! I love how insect like it is with the fake eyes. A deep sea pokemon is such a cool idea!! Oooh ok yes I love the new silhouette!! It looks so much like a giant maw of a creature! Like seeing a Deep sea gyarados mouth! I love it!! This would be terrifying to see!! 22:05 I love the body shape here!! The kelp like hair of the final design is so good!! The sepia toned shinies are really fun too. A lot of people are saying it's to mimic the merman story which might be true but they also look dried out. As if human contact injured them somehow. Either way they look cool!! I miss the chunky feel of all of them but overall the design decisions you made are so cool. I love all the redesigns in this video. I cant believe you're done with this region!! What a ride! I learned so much!! Looking forward to whatever else you guys come up with!

[@xsaviorsoul460]

Congrats on officially finish the mazah region!!! I hope you create a video where you introduce all of them again in a long video like "Introducing the Mazah region pokedex" or something.

[@TJ_Walks]

Absolutely love the changes on Mayzmen; I think it's the dimensionality in the arms that's made the big difference, but I also like that each of the faces has its own bit of real-estate

[@sam_bamalam]

What an incredible journey! This was a fantastic journey to follow. I noticed two details that stunned me. First, the gap in the silhouette of Melumyst between its head and back. That pushed the design so much into incomprehensible territory without making it unapproachable. The second was the joy I felt when Melumuse became the new Hatsune Miku with “hastune miku, you are looking so waterfall today” energy. The definition of hair, legs, and the connection made via arcane river imagery is captivating. Of course, I could rewatch this and come up with many more things that struck a chord with me. But congratulations on this incredible accomplishment! I look forward to seeing what comes next.

I can't believe I've been watching your channel for years now! I loved your content before the Mazah region and I am looking forward to following the amazing projects you tackle next.

i've loved the mazah series, its helped me so much with my own character design, and while its bittersweet to see it finished, i cant wait to see whats next!!

[@elliotreid7401]

Love the red hair on Melumaunder. The contrast is great, but it also calls to mind either blood in the water or poisonous jellyfish tendrils, giving the design a sense of implied danger that the original completely lacked.

why an amazing project to have watched over the course of a few years! congratulations on finishing it and i’m excited to see what’s next for the channel!

It’s fun to think how they would move in Pokémon Snap. Could you just imagine being in the pod underwater and coming across these new designs 😄

[@vamppooni]

YES! i finally met a person like me! whenever i see a fakemon i always think oh my god that would look so cool in pokemon snap

I started watching this channel before the mazah region project started, and I'm going to be sticking around far after it as well. I love all you're current content, but I started following this channel because the art was wonderful and both Jack and Clair having the most charming personalities, and changing what you're focusing on isn't going to change those things!! I'm exited to see where you're going next, and good luck with all that :) (loved all the designs this episode too btw aha)

[@alexaliss8233]

I've been watching since before the Mazah region and I'll still be watching after! All the best in moving forward!

[@gamermoment3744]

That is so cool that you did sepia shinies to reference mermay! Actually so sick!!

[@Axecon1]

Nice job with the updated designs!

[@BeyMaster0609]

I remember finding this channel with the Pokémon armour videos and the first video for making the starters. Can’t wait for the game

Is it just me who feels like Yoronaqua and the sirens were changed from mysterious, enchanting, dangerous beings to more... sexy women? Getting rid of the blank space in Yoronaqua's skirt was a fine enough reason to give her legs (second-best improvement after Melumourn), but I can't figure out a different reason for making Melumaunder skinny with long red hair (worst next to Melumuse). There's still a lot of great parts of even my least liked improvements, but I feel like the Sirens lost a lot of the Pokemon feel. I'm curious as to if anyone else feels the same way.

[@testerwulf3357]

I mean..that is what sirens are! Sexy water women. And they weren't meant to be dangerous..one is around humans a lot and even makes people and pokemon feel happy, it's ok to miss that aspect but it was never actually intended so it makes sense that was tossed out..I personally think they're still a bit mysterious and enchanting (this kinda stuff is all subjective). It portrays that perfectly to me and there's quite a few human-like pokemon (with that even being an egg group) so it's not really "not pokemon" feel-wise as human designs have always existed and continue to grow towards the style more similar to these sirens (in older gens they were monster looking but as we progress they start to look more human and even traditionally "sexy" I suppose you could call it)..just because you don't really care for human-like designs doesn't mean they aren't "pokemon-like" exactly! I was never really a fan of human-like pokemon spare a few, but I do like these sirens a lot as they're not animals turned human they're just human-like beings turned pokemon (as I'd call it).

The second siren's first draft in this video stole my heart tbh ❤
