Is there a way to make evolution for these Convergent pokemon?

[@therubyminecart5291]

This video is very cool!

[@slylanders1291]

I like this idea just enough that I want to give it a try as well. I find Antyke to be very adorable, and the most official fakemon design out of most other fakemon I've seen in my everyday life (when I'm on the computer of course). I like Porygod as well; it does seem to be something out of a special event like in Legends Arceus. Hamask is just straight up The Mask possessing a body (in this case, a poor little pig, and not green). I know of that movie btw. Not my favorite design. Can you reuse the pig's body and make a regional Lechonk with it? When you were showing Sumowoodo's sped sketching, I imagined the spinning dojo dragons pillars from Kung Fu Panda, but it's not a bad design anyway. I thought Hoppiny was going to be a rabbit (I mean rabbits and kangaroos both hop, although rabbits don't have pouches, so it makes more sense now). And Trapunch reminded me of HoopsandHipHop's Fighting type starter from one of his videos, with the orange skin and being a fighting type, plus Trapunch almost looks a bit like a turtle to me, without the shell though.

[@nablamakabama488]

I have a different bone to pick. In 7:36 you said that Metatheria are marsupials that laid eggs. But that’s incorrect. Metatheria is a group of mammals that includes marsupials as a crown group and their closest relatives as stem groups. Together with Eutheria and a few other extinct stem species, Metatheria forms the Theria wich are all assumed to have given birth to live young without an eggshell/ they are all viviparous. They also all have teats, a perineum and no coracoids. The close relationship you propose between marsupials and monotremes is an existing hypothesis without much support. The proposed group that includes Metatheria and monotremes is called Marsupionta. In other words: All placental mammals and marsupials seem to have a common ancestor wich already didn’t lay eggs over 125 million years ago, and therefor none of the stem groups of those 2 crown groups of mammals individually laid eggs either.

[@CaptainvonDore]

Thumbnail idea:Show the real concept behind one of the fakemons in the video at left side on the iconic Truegreen7 thumbnail background. Then show have an arrow pointing at the SILHOUETTE of the fake Pokémon you created at right side. This would: 1. Would spoil less part of the video (at least 20-25% of the video gets spoiled in the current thumbnail style). 2. It's still easy to recognise the creator from the iconic background. 3. Pays respect to Pokémon's connections with silhouettes.

[@PragMagik]

I love the proportions of Hamask, it reminds me of No Face in his more bestial form! Also Sumowoodo being like a split evo to Bonsly is such a Pokémon thing to do.

I would imagine if it evolves into Antine! 2) Porygod: This looks better than the whole "Bidoof God" bullcrap that's been going on on the internet. I would also imagine that Porygod Z would be based off a Beta Arceus as well! =D 3) Hamask: Of all the Ghost-types that I like (and some of the Pokémons that are based off of Japanese Youkais as well), Hamask's really take the cake on that one! 💜 I would imagine if its evolution was something different? 👻 🐖 4) Sumowoodo: Although I don't use Sudowoodo, I would like to Sumowoodo as my final team member. I would imagine if its pre-evolved form would also be sumo-based... 🤔 5) Hoppiny: I can't tell if Hoppiny's either a rabbit or a kangaroo, but it does look adorable. I would imagine if Blissey was based off of a mama kangaroo... ❤ and finally, 6) Trapunch: Back in my middle school years, I drew Gary Brolsma, aka the Numa Numa Guy, as a Trapinch.

It's funny because Sudowoodo evolves from a baby pokemon that does nothing but Cry, but Sumowoodo is a Sumo, and Sumo have a holiday dedicated to them in Japan where parents take their children to them so they can make kids cry. Makes it pretty perfect.

Sailmer (boat wailmer) Gorabyss (eldritch horror that evolves from giving a campearl a deep sea scale from the lowest point in the ocean) Carnivile (dark circus Pokémon. maybe a fake tent Venus fly trap) Darkray (Cresselia sacrificed itself to partially merge with darkrai.

A suggestion with this trend in mind: Busharp. We do already have sharp, prickly Grass-types, especially the ones who learn Spiky Shield, so this would be far from a new unique design unless.. it's also based on harp or harpy. & the 'har' in the name could be adopted into char or chirp. Idk I'm just throwing out ideas w/o truly realising how tough it'd be to blend these together coherently, but I've learned that fakemon artists like you are no slouch, being able to pull off some amazing feats sometimes, so I trust you with the concept provided to cr8 something incredible.
