Should You Evolve Your Villains?

What's up my geeks and gamers? I am once again back with another video and it's about the evolved skins in Skylanders Trap Team and if some are good and others are utter garbage. I hope you all enjoy it!

Chef Pepper Jacks evolved skin is actually also accurate because the headchef at a restaurant usually wears black

[@Slimyoweo]

That does make a lot of sense

[@diamondguy-xs4lg]

didn't know that but I like it either ways, he's my favourite doom raider of all time

[@Zonatedjaguar90]

I think the returning villains should have had variants of their evolved versions

[@Slimyoweo]

Yeah that would’ve been a great idea, super marketable too

[@Zonatedjaguar90]

@Slimyoweo I love how there is still an active skylanders community its my favorite franchise

[@Slimyoweo]

Same it gives me such gratitude that a lot of ppl still care about something that’s just so small yet so impactful

[@Zonatedjaguar90]

@Slimyoweo people definitely underestimate the impact that Skylanders had on gaming as a whole I got back to collecting Skylanders in 2021 I completed my ssa and giants collection got blackout and ro bow and now I have 75 Skylanders with 92 more to go

[@Slimyoweo]

Wow man that’s quite impressive gotta hand it to u, I was really into collecting them again around 2021 as well but now I hardly go out of my way to look for them but if I ever find any new ones I always make sure to pick them up

[@nintendofriendchicken2350]

I don't like the look of many of the evolved villains but I love the look of the completed wanted posters. I wish there was a way for you to choose to have them evolved or not

[@Slimyoweo]

Yeah it’d be great if they gave us that option

[@chikin52]

You could reset the traps (Through Giants I think) so that the poster stays but the evolved form reverts to the original.

[@djwitheredbonnie4560]

Massive respect to you for making this video, I'm more or less one of the few people who got into Skylanders at a very late year, but still love it to no end to this very day. I've always liked some of the evolved skins, but had a huge bone to pick with at least 80%. Very thankful to see that I'm not the only one who's had an issue with the severe lack of color choices for most of these characters (that's my opinion though, since I don't care for the colors green and blue). Thank you for making this and keep up the great work!

[@Slimyoweo]

Thank u very much and yeah Activision and Toys For Bob definitely could’ve taken a bit of time to make the villain skins, and even quests too, to just be all round better.

[@MagcargoCarrier]

Evolved forms = Shiny forms

[@Slimyoweo]

That’s what I’m saying

[@Elgi72]

The Alt Deco Vilians like Outlaw Brawl and Chain should definitely be evolved.

[@Slimyoweo]

As in they should’ve made those alt decos the normal evolved skins?

[@bradburleson5611]

I never knew that all the evilikins evolved with the same color scheme, but also, You cant discount the fact that you need to evolve all villains for 100%

[@Slimyoweo]

Yeah unfortunately you need them to be evolved for 100%, idk if the Wii giants toy reset exploit is the only way to reset them or if you can just use a fresh save file to get the original skins but still it sucks

[@agentbluedino1396]

I think we should pick from the skins like change it out

[@Slimyoweo]

Yeah that’s a great idea they should’ve done that

[@fujji5150]

W vid I love seeing new skylander content and keeping this game alive you deserve a subscribe for that

[@Slimyoweo]

Thank you I appreciate it

[@PrimalKevYT]

I love how they called these ''evolved'' they literally just get a color change.

[@Slimyoweo]

Yeah true

[@Joe-yx1gq]

To be Fair I could say the same for Evolved Godzilla in GxK bro got the Trap Team Treatment but it does still look Really cool with any color not Just blue

[@PrimalKevYT]

@@Joe-yx1gq he got bonus annorexia

[@SorielHDTBers]

I think Golden Queen’s evolved form looks pretty cool. Also, I think all the evolved forms that give additional functions should just be deemed better anyway. (Like Shrednaught, Krankcase, and Golden Queen.)

[@Slimyoweo]

I get that, evolved abilities are 100% better, but I still don’t like golden queen’s evolved skin

[@memy3087]

I enjoyed seeing someone show there take on the evolved forms.

[@Slimyoweo]

Thank u very much

[@Ejgwizard-sl4gx]

Bro your so awesome “BOOM” you have earned a sub

[@Slimyoweo]

Thanks man appreciate it

[@Kalleybi]

Still u missed the part where the evolutions change depending on the version of the game/console, for example, in wii version, Rage mage doesn't turn his armor into gold, instead the only thing that changes is his clothes turning from black to blue (i prefer that evolved rage mage), and the evo for bobm shell changes as well, i'm not sure abt the otrher villains tho Ah, the evilikins doesn't turn blue in the wii version

[@Slimyoweo]

Honestly didn’t know about that

[@Kalleybi]

@@Slimyoweo Ow, I see, you shoult check them! I honestly don't understand why they made that decision but yeah, the design team didn't put a lot of effort in the color scheme being nice to look at u.u

[@Slimyoweo]

I’ll check them and maybe do a quick post talking about them but if there’s that many that r different, I might have to do a sequel. I agree though they put hardly any effort in some of the skins

[@Kalleybi]

@@Slimyoweo It would be nice!, Also, great video, it's cool seeing sum recent Skylander content

[@Slimyoweo]

Thanks, yeah not a lot talking about it these days, at least not a lot of talking that it should get

[@axelnilsson5124]

The only villains I never evolved were the Doom Raiders because unlike every other villain in the game there are non trappable versions of those characters so we can just assume that the trappable version is like a distant member of the family or something while the Doom Raiders are individuals where there’s no other than them and they were only shown in their devolved appearance in cutscenes and such

[@Slimyoweo]

That’s fair I like that

[@outbackranger1088]

Golden Queen’s evolved colors should’ve had more of a ruby, sapphire, or emerald coloration to it.

[@Slimyoweo]

I agree, the silver just doesn’t suit her

[@outbackranger1088]

@@Slimyoweo Or hell they could’ve even made her gold, silver, and bronze as a reference to the Olympic medals.

[@Slimyoweo]

True that would work

[@gxalcremieshiny4229]

who else had that glitch where Tao Kwon Crow wouldn't change sprites? He just straight up wouldn't evolve visually

[@Slimyoweo]

I never came across that myself but that is odd

[@sxrpentk1ller290]

great video, a lot of valid points i love to see that people still upload skylanders content like me. The point you made with kaos is valid. i bought a kaos trap second hand and it had his evolved state saved into it :(

[@Slimyoweo]

Thanks, yeah getting things like traps or creation crystals second hand are such a pain. There is a way to reset them apparently with a copy of giants on the Wii

[@shui804]

Golden queen went from Golden Queen to Silver Queen frfr

[@Slimyoweo]

Frfr, not a good change in my opinion

[@shui804]

@Slimyoweo I like it simply cause of what a horrible downgrade it is. Design wise, it's atrocious yeah.

[@jimmyp2431]

I think nightshade looks like that because it is supposed to look like Robin Hood

[@Slimyoweo]

Never thought of that honesty

[@mrminemachine8]

I think all the defaults are better, but the chompy alt should have been a cruncher from ssa

[@Slimyoweo]

I get that, and I totally agree with the chompy

[@HAYDENCRAFT-nn9wu]

Pain Yatta’s evolved is supposed to be candy corn

[@Slimyoweo]

Oohhhhh that makes sense

@@Slimyoweo light traps a bit too expensive for me, I'm happy with the other traps for now especially the tech trap (trolling thunder is goated)

brawl and chain reminds me of a blueberry donut hole

Yessir I appreciate that

Green Justice ✊

[@dizzykrogan]

Oh yes, an entirely mustard yellow character who looks like you unlocked the gold skin for them is much more better than the version with an actually cohesive color scheme.

[@Slimyoweo]

Yup I’m back and thank you I’m happy to be back

[@nefarioustechsupport1243]

I like this video but it’s annoying me how you keep saying activision when referring to decisions about the evolved skins, those were made by toys for bob, not activision Toys for bob developed ssa/sg/stt/si Vicarious Visions developed ssf/ssc Activision published the games, and while they had influence over creative decisions, they did not actively develop the game, merely provide funding during development as well as market the game and get it on store shelves

[@Slimyoweo]

Thank u for the feedback and I know that tfb and vv r the ones who had those decisions, I just said Activision and although I did realize that while editing, I just didn’t bother to go back since the video was already a bit tedious. Next time I will fix mistakes like that

[@PizzaMan879]

I actually like Kaos’ evolved more better due to the Red symbols and silver trim on the robes. Feel free to disagree, but I just prefer the evolved.

[@Slimyoweo]

That’s totally fine man just different opinions is all and I respect it, it’s a just opinion, I just prefer the original Kaos skin is all
