Science Pokemon: Pt. 1 Unowns

This is Part 1 of my Pokemon Science Variant Series where I talk about different amino acids through some new Unown designs.

If you're looking for redesign ideas for these guys, you could design them as fish that evolve into differently-shaped schools of fish!

[@dahuntre]

Loved the commitment to the Walter White impression, keeping the voice for the whole explanation

[@Cryptidlookin]

Wasn’t expecting a Jerma cameo but I’m very happy

[@s_cabbage]

n0Rtist's videos are always so creative.

[@sleepykoi4617]

I could easily see uniown having an alternate form or something that's a mythical with a second form like diancie for the tertiary and quaternary structures

[@INFINITE021]

As someone who just had to memorize the amino acids, I can’t tell you how much I love these

[@gaminggranny1541]

I think just because they look so different from Unown, you can easily call them something else and it can work without a C&D at your doorstep

[@flamingtorrent2109]

"that's right! these wretched things EVOLVE" im cackling

[@egguu69]

This is one of my favorites so far! Turning the Unown into amino acids is cool and the execution is impeccable! I can imagine chains of these guys zooming around in the background, sometimes getting too dizzy and accidentally evolving.

[@Pokefan8263]

I feel like if you just gave them small arms and a differently shaped tail and feet then you could totally use the axolotl monster’s you’ve created

[@Arseniy_Arsenicum]

I've never cared for Pokémon, didn't grew up with it, haven't played it, the whole craze just didn't affect me in any way... But in a past day I've binged all of your videos... Your idea of making cute science-based little critters brings joy to my biology-nerd brain... If I were a teacher, a would've used your designs to illustrate relevant concepts in class...

[@guse7688]

You did what my teacher couldn't do and made learning about proteins fun

[@september-xyzx6096]

Probably my favourite video of yours so far. This will probably help out a lot of biochem students I know

[@beatofromuminekorealnotcli4574]

my mind was at such a vulnerable and unassuming state truly nothing could have prepared me for the walter white yoda i feel like i'm living in a different universe now a different plane of existence truly thank you so much

[@decarabiaumbra560]

I was not expecting amino acid unown to become my new favorite pokemon.

[@stephanovaldivieso4517]

Very creative concept! This reminds me of the times I used Chemsketch for my chemistry homeworks and essays in High School. Very nostalgic!

[@rainetopia7130]

The commitment to the Walter White bit was great

[@squirrel_plus]

as a stem major i cannot express how much i love this

[@AphidKirby]

THESE ARE AWSOOOOME I really hope u get to make ur own original creature version of these soooooo fun! UNIOWN YESSS

[@Shamazya]

Fun concept!
