Petition for Ron to make another episode of redesigning Fakémon Edit: Man, that's a lot of people who are agreeing with me

[@PurpIe.Potato]

Signed

[@ghifariasoka8272]

Seconded

[@Malta-nh7hj]

Yes

[@ArtyAnimates]

Another sign

[@Gigamungusintheflesh]

He can't ignore it if Lord Gigamungus signs

[@ALoversRose]

I would love to see a follow-up where those that took Ron's advice and redesigned them, show them off.

[@BJGvideos]

Or replied with their rationale at least

[@ldmassey]

Yes! I second this.

[@teasingmarmalade4537]

Yes I third this!~

[@Imani_ThePals]

@@teasingmarmalade4537I have never seen anyone use the little ~ before, and I honestly love that for you. Have a good one, fellow internet stranger 🤝

[@gabreyes9793]

Something I figured out in Pokemon design is that all of them have to take into account how they'll be transformed as merch. That includes plushies, keychains, etc. Simplifying most shapes (complicated forms becoming just circles/triangles) or having just 3-5 colors as opposed to an entire spectrum just fits the Pokemon design perspective more.

[@ArceusDX]

Yeah that's a pretty good way to describe it, they need to work as toys/plushies/etc

[@albond]

Also in older gens they had limited colour palettes to work with so they had a strict limitation on the number of different colours

[@solosaf6754]

THIS!! SPECIALLY with starters, my philosophy for them is that if i cant see them turned into plushies in the same shelf of sanrio and kirby characters plushies, they need to be simpler/cuter, since startes NEED to be plushie-able for comertial reasons, and achieving that is what gives you the official look

[@Tony_AM009]

Agreed. There is another factor that I think gets taken into account when designing Pokémon: the anime and possibly in-game features and/or battle formats. Let me explain. Most or at least numerous people understand that Incineroar is based off of heel wrestlers, tigers, and a professional wrestler known as Tiger Mask. However, a thought occurred to me recently, and I apologize if I'm late to the party on this. I think Incineroar was designed with both the Battle Royal and the character/alter-ego Masked Royal in mind. Either Incineroar came first, the Battle Royal came first, the Masked Royal came first, or these ideas came about simultaneously. Additionally, Pokémon need to be designed with both the anime art style as well as the Pokémon anime in mind, regardless of whether or not they'll be plot relevant. If you can't set them in even one anime episode, the design may either need to be reworked or scrapped.

[@Adewayy]

18:00 For different colors, it would've been cool if it was like aging copper going from orange to a greenish color to show the progression of the pokemons age.

[@MeloniestNeon]

That would tie in the Steel typing perfectly! It'd also make the wise, ancient dragon aspect even more prevalent. So many designs are made by talented people that just lack that little bit of a second opinion and some brainstorming, like what Gamefreak actually has! Stick these artists all in a room together and have them make a Pokedex working together, and it'd come out perfect!

[@PragMagik]

I think all your critiques were pretty valid! Some great Fakemon in here!

[@ArtyAnimates]

True

[@borealmind]

Well while my designs did not make it into the critique part I saw them on screen (0:27) for a split second😁 that’s close enough for me^.^ congrats to all the designs that got chosen. These kind of videos are super helpful even if your designs do not get picked. Amazing opportunity for artists to learn and develop their skills. Hope the video does well!

[@carriedehoff4597]

I NEED another episode of Redesigning Your Fakemon!!!!

[@eeveegirl5189]

I always learn so much about how to improve my own character designs whever I watch your art videos. Videos like these that give genuine critique while also being so positive are so encouraging 💚💜!

[@jorodgers9333]

I know and I like how he points out in detail good points and what need improvement

[@eeveegirl5189]

@@jorodgers9333 yes! He never just says it's a good or bad design. He always explains what makes it a great or not great design.

[@darknesswave100]

Yeah that's what a lot of people who critique stuff do wrong. They're overly critical on the design. Ron instead gives positive feedback and says oh if you tweak this a little, then it might work better. Positive words encourages people to change something rather than being critical and saying change this or it's not good

[@bilsuart]

Awesome to see so many great Fakemon artists in this one! And some really valid critiques! Even though Pokémon are simple at their core, they’re still hard to master designing!

[@LGreat16]

Hi Bilsu!

[@somescottishlassie891]

"Thicker than the average snake" what kinda yogie bear spin off is that xD

[@ASCENSiON_]

As someone who's planning on designing Fakémon soon, I'd absolutely love for this series to continue with a part 4! I feel like I've learned a lot from your critiques before even having drawn a single Fakémon!

[@richcantgame]

Ron idk why I just thought of this when you said “bark” but we 100% need a design of a tree dog Pokemon named Bark 😂

[@CaptainvonDore]

After reading this, I want it.

[@RedParagonG]

Ron I think you might be right. This batch of Fakemon is too strong. I can't keep up with all these guys! I'm jealous! DX But seriously, this was fun to participate in! Even if my little fireflies didn't make the video, I'm happy that they got noticed in some way. It's also nice to learn how to make a more convincing Fakemon, even if the artist and or philosophy are different!

[@calapai7]

Shoutout to Darksilvania, I've been following him for about 10 years, and he's always been one of the best Fakemon creators of all time.

[@ldmassey]

The flamingo one is perfect. I love him so much. Edit: I love the dragon horse too. Most of these are so good! Lol

[@balrogdahomie]

I think a really fun series would be for you to look at, not Fakemon themselves, but art of creatures from other monster collection games, and compare and contrast the different design sensibilities of them vs Pokémon. It could be interesting to see what makes something *not* look like a Pokémon, even if just in a “here’s what to avoid when specifically making a fakemon” kind of thing If this idea interests you, I’d suggest looking at designs from Cassette Beasts, Monster Sanctuary, and Spectrobes

[@SmartAlec86]

The expression of the Steel type is actually referenced in the colors. All I have to do is point to the Statue of Liberty. When copper oxidizes, it becomes that pale green color. I suppose the color doesn't make sense for it's 1st form since it's not a steel type yet. Perhaps the first form should be more brown like copper and without those scale-like plates. It's second form is mostly copper/brown, but perhaps those pale green scale-like plates begin to appear. Then it's final form kept as is.

[@devonmackey9467]

Just to critique your critiques: -Litten is not an obviously fire starter in any of its evolutions. -Dragonaire and Serperior are long snake proportioned Pokémon. -Falinks, Mousehold etc are Pokémon made up of multiple Pokémon. Love all the advice and critiques, as well as all the fakemons! Just wanted to counter argue a couple things.

[@truegreen7]

Critiqueing your critiques of my critiques: - Litten is very much charcoal with red accents. Like I said, the accents can hint at the typing in the starter, unlike the example in the video. - Those are perfect examples to SUPPORT what I’m saying. Dragonair’s neck is thinner to accentuate its head, making it look less like a snake and more like a dragon. Serperior is very much WAY thicker than a real snake and has a huge head. Compare its proportions to the fakemon in the video. - I never said multiple Pokemon in one wasn’t possible. Just that the anatomy of the fakemon in the video is a mystery. (But that may also be the point)

[@AnsophOfficial]

Yeh no,

[@zimmles]

Did not expect to be in the thumbnail hxjdhd thanks for the feature! I submitted that cus it was all I had at the time, but I have more these days

[@borealmind]

Congrats!

[@aaron-ellie1599]

Your art is crazy and you help so much with creativity your art is crazy and I love these vids

[@LT0124-Mythica0]

I’ve only done one Fakemon before, very recently (as in literally yesterday) but my main problem is that I *cannot* mimic other artstyles. My art style is very unique and noticeable and a large part of the way I draw, and I can’t draw in any other style without it looking really horrible.

[@herowither12354]

Don't worry about replicating the Pokemon artstyle. It's not as important as people pretend it is.

[@elijosc1963]

Yeah I say pokemon style isn't for everyone tbh.

[@Sami25596]

Please do part 4 I've been waiting for a long time for this to happen you're the only reason why I practice for this art style a lot I have liked subscribed and I have notifications

[@scarffle2]

Thank you for taking the time out to give crit on my dinos!!

[@ericcograd]

A lot of these are amazingly awesome! love these vids

[@DustyGogoat]

Great art & great video. Would love to watch one of these every month

[@bam-jedi-ram1741]

Honestly I’m excited, although I can’t draw in the pokemon style you got me into drawing fakemon

[@soulofflame9999]

Now I'm curious about your ideas. Care to share?

[@andrewjoseph2749]

@6:39 i think the word you're looking for is: Vibrant. for the starters the Red (Fire), Blue (Water), and Green (Grass) are for the most part more vibrant.

[@nazeersadek6705]

You’re right these are great submissions and your critiques are very valid with little tweets some of those fan designs can give the official Pokémon a run for their money

[@TheToneBender]

I love this because for some of these I screenshotted them and put them in CSP and made my own edits to them, which I think really helps me in making better art myself, because you really start to think about the design choices. And then when I continued the video, found you saying many of the same critiques. And in some cases I had different ones, like with the steel kirin thing. I'd personally cut out the middle stage and make the prevo copper coloured and then have the mature version be a bit more vibrant to resemble patina.

[@ArtyAnimates]

Love your videos you inspired me to make my own Fakemon

[@Noteturtle90]

I had the same experience!

[@ArtyAnimates]

Nice

[@subnautical3467]

9:05 I agree that there is a lot of detail for a Pokémon design, but maybe with just a little less detail, I can totally see it as a legendary.

[@CatOnACell]

i like the difference you make between "good creature design" and "Pokémon design"

[@theojames2581]

Same

[@Oceane1803]

I hope that there'll be even more of these because I submitted my own Fakemon which is "MissingNo but an actual Pokemon". It has a lot of insipirations and I'm extremely proud of it.

[@dragonzzzpawzzz]

Now I wanna see Ron make a video of just making overly detailed fakemon 😭

[@kurathchibicrystalkitty5146]

Oh, this was fun! I hope there'll be another video like it, and maybe a video on redesigning them?

[@benjaminacuna8013]

This is so good! I love seeing you be constructive but critical in a kind way

[@slateportraichu5416]

Your fans are so talented=3 Thank you for the video and knowledge=) I've learned so much! You are so nice and polite=)

[@midnightmoon7257]

Didn't get a chance to work on it in a while but I actually do have a fakemon in the works, a concept for a pokemon idea me and my physical therapist came up with when she miss heard me say whack a mole and said guacamole, Thus gwakamole was formed And for lil background on this bab, i like to think that it is known for staying in darker areas like caves, only really coming out at night, but one other place you may find them, gardens, mainly ones that grow fruit and vegetables, like normal moles they would be known for digging around in yards, and sometimes you may catch one's nose sticking out, often mistaken for a patch of grass, I'm working on whether or not to make two separate designs for male and female, cause the first sketch i did had a baby version on it's head that looked like an avocado pit (still working on pre evolved form not even a name yet) definitely will revise my work and hopefully submit it by next time

[@Cecona]

I enjoy watching these because I learn so much about Pokémon design that I can understand

[@sushigivesmelife2131]

I absolutely love these!!! Plz do more

Hey Ron. Another kind of video that might work really well is asking for ppl to submit fakemon design ideas (without visualization) and choosing some of them to turn into fakemon

Im making my own Pokemon region based on Ireland the starters are a grass deer a fire squirrel and a water seagull and this video will help me design my fakemon

[@theherohartmut]

Grass deer already exists with the Deerling line, but that's not to say it can't be used in another way. Do you have any concept art for these? As an Irish native myself, I'd be interested in seeing your take.

[@kmchx221]

Hey, thanks for the advice :) i will take it for my future fakemon. Even if novatleaf its my first fakemon on digital art, i already know it has problems, even more when i realize that its a starter, am planning to rework him and his evos and i will take the advice of the scales and the wood aspect. Also great video, all of the advices are great and i enjoy it a lot.

[@superflameking03]

Hope there's another episode of this. I'm currently working on finishing the final design of my own starters and would really love your opinions!

[@BabyChan33]

this are so cool. would love to see more. i have my own fake mons but doubt i'll ever share. lol maybe someday.

[@jacques5869]

Interesting to hear the critiques, but totally align with how Ron works! Every time I was a "creating fakemon" video, Ron will overdo certain features and then redraw over and over to get the balance right with fur, scales etc... It's only natural to want to add the extra detail, because it adds to the artwork, but to meet the unspoken requirements of Pokemon design, Ron is spot on, less is more! Some really awesome designs in their own right though!!

[@flatpigeon9349]

Good art everyone. Some of these are incredible, and then some of them just bring me a chuckle. Goofy lil guys. edit: I need a Gorf (the round seal boi)

[@WilliamLucian]

Gorf was my favorite hands down.

[@theojames2581]

15:02 love to see Lockstin’s Trevenant in the search results (and please correct me of my spelling of Lockstin)

[@TheViper079]

for the snakes i would suggest the colors to swap so it matches the verse to differentiate milk snakes and coral snakes "red touching black safe is jack (base), red touching yellow kill a fellow (evo) but thats just my idea

[@spitfirebird]

I’m planning on creating my own fakemon line that is a regional form of espurr and Meowstic, but what’s different is that 1. Espurr is able to evolve into many unique forms, similar to eevee and 2. They’re all based on different feathered dinosaurs. It’s not like eevee where each evolution corresponds to a different type. Instead, each evolution has a unique type combination based on the biology of the real animal and putting a Pokemon spin on it in some cases. This is not meant for any fakemon region, this is just simply a passion project focusing on not only giving my favorite Pokemon some love, but also combining that with my love for feathered dinosaurs.
