Let's Make CRYPTID Pokemon

[@FreedomAnderson]

I’m working on my own region currently and my starters are all based on cryptids. The grass type starter is based on a Jackalope. Also, Lapras is my favourite Pokémon and I love the redesign.

[@parthwader7312]

Is it a rom hack if it is then I am so playing it

[@indrajeetmitra9077]

Me too

[@madamsafwanmsabri8245]

Share the link if you finished it my guy would love to play it

[@mariahwickham3125]

I think the fire starter should be a dragon with a horn of fire 🔥

[@FreedomAnderson]

Thanks for the support everybody but it’s just a friend and myself coming up with concepts and drawings. It won’t be a KZbin video or game.

[@JoblessMusic]

THAT LAPRAS IS SO COOL! That Rock dark Mon is a must have on any team.

[@annabelleuchiha4415]

Me with lucario:😈

[@Royce-oh]

Sableye is actually already based on an American cryptid! The Hopkinsville Goblin of Kentucky! It’s really interesting and I’d suggest looking into it.

[@PragMagik]

Oh I know! Same with Lapras being based on the Loch Ness monster! That’s part of why I picked them!

[@Pokewhisperer_Adrian]

Prag, Would the rock type sableye and tomeye be also found in galar since the original story of the tommyknockers was in Cornwall England?

[@PragMagik]

I mean, they aren’t in the actual games so I would say no.

[@Pokewhisperer_Adrian]

@@PragMagik , I mean speculatively speaking since tomeye is based on a cyptid based in Cornwall England and since galar is based on the U.K. I though perhaps for regions like Unova, The spinoff Orre(Based in Pheonix, Arizona) and Cornera. Maybe tomeye would originate from Galar but maybe become more well known from miners in Cornera with what you said in the video. P.S Sorry this comment is long but I was trying to say if hypothetically speaking would that be the case.

[@dipnoh8609]

@@Pokewhisperer_Adrian The fact that only Hoennian Sableye is found there and the vast amount of Roggenrola and Rolycoly, It is no surprise that this form doesn't exist in Galar. Both of the Mines are small and completely block the sunlight except for the entrance and exit. Furthermore, Carkol rolling down the mine tracks pose a danger to Pokémon, including Sableye, so they tend to hide in the darker parts of the caves/mines

[@apex2000]

Migrated?

[@AreYouSlRlus]

@@PragMagik *PFFT*

[@mr.lonelyhill5480]

6:45 Huh, I would have figured that the snoliath line was gonna be based off the *Glacier Island Carcass* , a giant 42ft fur bearing reptile’s preserved cadaver supposedly found frozen in a large glacier on the titular Alaskan island in 1930

[@PragMagik]

I hadn’t heard about that one but that actually applies really well to it as well!

[@FizzyGhost08]

@@PragMagik cracked at new inspirations my guy.

[@GaeredLinn]

Okay, Now I love the pseudo legendary and It's typing! If this game became real, I would put Snoliath on my team.

[@zcayt]

Same

[@Noah-ck1nf]

I would put bolterror on mine

[@ZKiryuDX]

I'd put cornera lapras and bolterror

[@allenle6188]

Bolterror looks so cool

[@jebwoodlock7003]

look up soaring skies

[@CrowInAHoodie]

I’m in love with the sabeleye line- I’m so adding one to my cornera team

[@kigut7443]

I really love Tomeye! The design is very clever and it ties into sableye's original habitat really well. It doesn't feel like a half-assed regional variant done to make a favourite pokemon look a little different, but it feels like a real adaptation that a pokemon had to make in order to survive! I also love that it's friendly to miners. :") I love them and will protect them with my life.

[@markuswithak5084]

I vibe with that antisocial Lapras really hard

[@sharksuperiority9736]

I adore the pseudo legendaries, the first two forms are my favourites, but the final stage is still super cool

[@kurtpryor6334]

Growing up I spent a lot of time at my grandma's condo on Bear Lake and I love that anyone acknowledges this wierd cryptid that I was convinced my uncles made up.

[@waverider6302]

I also made a Slide rock bolter (the rockslide whale) Pokémon. Though my was a regional rock ground Wailord that was also based on beached whales, because these Wailord were beaches on mountains somehow

[@Aghul]

I LOVE the Sableye evolution! 10/10 would put one on my team!

[@MidnightDragonProductions]

My friend made a Fakemon based on the slide rock bolter as well, except his is a Rock/Dragon regional form of Wailmer and Wailord

[@PuppyLuver256]

Oh, nice! I made a rock-type Sableye variant for my region too! Well, rock/psychic, hehe. Since my region, Cantessy, is based mostly on Kentucky with elements from the rest of the states that hit the Appalachian mountain range, it only made sense to "bring Sableye home" in some manner because they're based on the Hopkinsville Goblins. And then I evolved it into an agate-covered Flatwoods Monster just because XD

[@dragonslayersworkshop8598]

I absolutely LOVE the Snowliath and Bolterror lines! Also on Boltini and Bolterror, you drew some inspiration from the molduga from BotW, didn’t you? Coincidentally I was playing the game while watching this video 🤣 but I love these new cryptid mons.

[@luistorres9882]

Bolterror look sick.

[@forthelolz1121]

Really enjoyed the video tbh. It would be pretty cool if you did more fakemon based on cryptids, mainly fearsome critters like the Jersey devil or snallygaster.

[@zacharybartolo5111]

I love cryptids! So I LOVE cryptid pokemon! My favorites were the Jackabbit, Regional Lapras, and Bolterror!

[@luistorres9882]

Bolterror look sick.

[@brotquel1592]

Shiny Snoliath could be black, referencing this way the Partridge Creek Monster (basically a black furred/feathered ceratosaurus, AKA a carnivorous dinosaur with horns.)

[@unholynoise3087]

The bear lake monster is named "Isabella" because there was some sort of competition and a little girl won, the reward was having the monster named after you.

[@dootznbootz]

Happy to see the Hodag! Living in Wisconsin while also having a lot of ancestors in the logging business, I heard it's story a lot through my childhood

[@legs4miles]

The video gave me a ideas for a Pokemon gimmick, basically pokerus started to form mutant pokemon, and it starts to spread making pokerus more common. Pokerus is still beneficial for Pokemon but gives them new forms. Also there would be a device that would infect pokemon with pokerus.

[@gvolving7259]

Been watching your Pokémon videos for a while now I find it so interesting the research you do on the Pokémon. For you to find a cryptic based on Cornwall is crazy as I live in Cornwall! I live in the county of famous mining. That version sableye is such a cool idea! Keep the great content coming 👍

[@PragMagik]

That’s super cool! Thanks for watching from the U.K.!

[@gvolving7259]

@@PragMagik thanks so much for the reply ! Watching your videos has gave me a lot of inspiration for my own Pokémon videos, thanks for the great content!

[@autismandgaming4532]

Sableye is a Pokemon I have a weird appreciation of, so your concept of a regional sableye evolution is surely interesting

[@FizzyGhost08]

Tomeye looks so cool and I wish Arctile stayed quadruped in its final form

[@alexx_77delta54]

My favorite criptid fakemon is Sabledy and his New evolution + the psoude-legendary line and the Boulder Whales!!!🤩🤩 And the Cornerian Lapras cool, really cool!😎👌

[@Elkion_Designs]

It is fun to just hear about someone saying stuff about bear lake. I live about a 1 hour away from bear lake, and the northern area of bear lake which is in Idaho.

[@PickledPeterPicksPrettyPickles]

He basically predicted baxcalibur

[@theironduck2524]

Thats what im saying the typing, concept, and line progression is the exact same

[@charade9091]

and the cetitan

[@shaunaksworldofdinosaurs4182]

He literally made paradox form before scarlet and violet. Amazing job on that Laura's!

[@stevencisneros9306]

Bolterror & Snoliath are awesome cryptid Pokémon!!!

[@xxmension04xx47]

I love how you gave Bolterror G-Max/Dynamax coloured eyes

[@Ledinosour673]

Bolterror is just wailord's mad brother. CHANGE MY MIND.

[@KudaKeileon]

"a jackalope is a jackrabbit with the antlers of an antelope" 1. Antelope don't have antlers. They have horns. These are not the same thing. The distinction is that antlers are made of bone and are shed, while horns are usually made mostly of keratin and are NOT shed. 2. Jackalopes have the antlers of a deer, usually a red deer or similar species.

[@PragMagik]

Oh cool! Thanks so much for the info! But what I would really LOVE to know is who asked?

[@blingblingz_]

Bro predicted cetitan

[@anthonytonythegeek5561]

2:15 i actually used this as a partial reference for a jackalope/ wolpertinger mon for my region, it was a fairy/ poison type ad also was based partially on Kamen rider build (for all my toku fans out there)

[@wynautwarrior2161]

YOOOOOOOO! Thank you for the Colorado Representation! The Slide Rock Bolter isn't that well known so I'm so glad there is a fakemon based off of it!

[@davidratulescu]

This video caught me off guard

[@ixeemilianoestradaperez9014]

Cetitan,loves this video

[@Pepe-jt7ps]

Bolterror special skill: creates a tall hill and slides and brings a huge rockslides/landslides(depends on the biome) to attack the opponent.skill name "mount/hill slide"

[@brianmoyachiuz905]

I love how crypids are close for being Pokémon themselves

[@leonardosantin3173]

It amazing how Americans have more werewolves than any country 1:09 plus tomeye looks dog like it was the tail, the claws and the ears that gave it out plus he looks for minerals like a dog looking for something Edit: imagine a Scooby Doo variant

[@CeaselessEntertainment8468]

I wish there was a cryptid pokemon based on The Bloop, a hypothetical marine animal first heard in 1997, Could be some sort of Water/Ghost type due to the haunting sound it made

[@cheyennec.4298]

I really like the sabeleye line; I'm a sucker for ghost type. But I like them all because I love mythology/cryptids.

[@triccele]

Actually, your jackalope fakemon doesn't have horns, but antlers. They are different things. Great fakemon btw.

[@J4M35_neomon]

Boterror is going to be in my team. 10/10 amazing

[@anonymousgoblin792]

7:56 I can also see a bit of The Partridge Creek Monster inspiration in that design too.

[@patshank6145]

Hey man, you just copped a new sub! Somewhere between Pokemon, mythical legends, and a bonus drinking game, you really grabbed my attention. This is the first of your videos I've had the pleasure of viewing but I can assure you, it won't be the last (hence the sub).

[@BeluLaFan1]

Incredible cryptmon hehe XD My favorite is Boltini and his evolution.

[@Thetruediobrando]

This new region of yours is so good

[@WelshGiraffa]

As a fan of Sableye to the point it would be my shoulder Pokémon I like your regional variant also funny enough I also came up with a yeti themed pseudo but are Ice/Fairy type the line goes from Yetice the Snowball Pokémon that hide from humans by digging into the snow then Slushsquatch the Snowball Pokémon that uses ice crafted picks to climb steep cliffs and stores supplies it’s backpack made of ice the final form I had a name in Cryoptid a corruption of the words Cryptid and Cryo but I’m not liking it but it’s classification is the avalanche Pokémon and uses reflective ice goggles to deter any nosey humans on its territory thus making it a myth in most areas

[@Bedefan197]

WHY DOES BOLTINY LOOK LIKE THE NEW CETITAN THING AND WHY ISNT ANYBODY TALKING ABOUT THE SIMULARITYS!

[@charade9091]

fr thoooo

[@Bedefan197]

MHM

[@nidohime6233]

Just a thought, but I think what made the legendary birds so legendary at the time is how "normal" looking where compared to other Pokémon, yet anything known about them was so little. Think about it, in the world of Pokémon people are used to see kaiju like monsters capable of burning entire cities, and befriending creatures that should be at least extint in our world. But what captives their imagination are a bunch of beautiful birds. Just birds, but birds that no one is sure there exist in the first place. Many fans think a legendary should always be this godly beings with fascinating lore, when in reality the most remembered where those when no one knew if there where real or not in the first place. In that regard Meltan was the best mythical in recent times, no one was sure if it was a Pokémon or just a placeholder, and people where wondering for days about it. That is how you make a "cryptid" Pokémon.

[@PragMagik]

While I agree with the sentiment, the Pokémon are based on real world Cryptids. They aren’t meant to be Cryptids in and of themselves. Except Lapras.

[@Squishy_Seal]

I just adore me some good fanregion pokedesigns.

[@imalltheragex2000]

4:53 IT'S MY BOI SABLEYE!!!!! 6:12 Sableye is my favorite pokemon so seeing this just makes happy :)

[@Puffymcstuff]

These fakemon are elite. So impressive.

[@bugs1930]

I know this Pokémon would not be found in the cornera region (because it wasn’t spotted near or in that area) but a cryptid Pokémon based on Moth-man would be very cool! Perhaps dark-flying?

[@strawhattreyturner6401]

Awesome video bud :) these cryptid Pokémon are awesome! :)

[@TheWatcher199]

I think Snoliath and it’s evolutionary line is my favorite, with Sableye’s line and Lapras being second and third

[@gaminggranny1541]

I was thinking of making a regional variant of Buneary's family as a Dark type off of the fake taxidermy to add to it's tricky nature - and that slopes disease does give me an idea to incorporate that later on.

[@ferandreparkes2242]

This guy is really underrated

[@SquirreLJ7]

Making 'mons about cryptids is straight-up just a good idea. I feel like cryptids are the closest the United States has to yokai. xD It's really cool how Boltini and Bolterror sort of did for the Ground type with Wailmer and Wailord what Cetoddle and Cetitan ended up doing for the Ice type (if that makes any sense). Also, holy frick, this even has an Ice/Dragon type pseudo-Legendary; it's, like, almost a prediction video; that is really cool.

[@RescueSquadCulp]

Lapras's evolution is clean👍

[@masqueradenoir5767]

This is something a lot of people don't seem to realize but zarude is technically a cryptic Pokemon as it is clearly based on the British cryptid of the fiskerton phantom

[@BeanKally]

We need to show appreciation for Isabella

[@dr.bananagamez8594]

Ice Dragon Snoliath, Pseudo Legendary. Ice Dragon Baxcalibur, Pseudo Legendary.

[@dr.bananagamez8594]

The last thing I expected to see was a Hodag. I love those little dudes.

[@hunterboisvert6101]

Your lapras variant sounds like a good plot based reason to bring back the dive HM!

Cryptid Creatures, dude I can name 5 right now based in the northwestern. I follow cryptids ever since I was 20yrs old. -Colossal Claude -Batsquatch -Devils Lake Monster -Dogman -Gumberoo I hope these help you to get more cryptid fakemon.

[@FlowerfuI]

I was playing pokemon, but this is way more important! But sadly ive already got spoiled of some of them in Instagram!

One awesome thing about the fakemon regions is there's no Charizard favoritism.

I kinda feel like giving these Pokémon abilities, stats and the like would be kinda pointless, since you’re never gonna make a fan game for this, however, I do really like this series, and you look like you’re having a really great time with this, so i’m okay with it.
