Turning Memes into Pokemon

[@Dudfruit]

Fun fact: We tried suggesting Ron to make Trickroll mimic the shiny sparkle sound, but the one who initiated the idea was quickly put in jail for such a heinous scheme.

[@fredorellana9710]

Maybe it could be the prevo. Like a wimpy soyjak slab of clay that has to work on itself to become a Chad. I'd name it Mudork, maybe Clayjak. You could even make it's Pokedex entry reference how some Mudork live their whole lives resenting Gigadonis, never wanting to make the changes necessary to be their best selves.

@@NeonWafflez707 It can have a split evo, where if it has low friendship it becomes a black-pilled incel intent on exacting vengeance against the world. It's existence can be a cautionary tale of how being a beacon of friendliness and support will make people look up to you, and how letting your anger consume you makes you into a evil, bitter shell of who you could've been. Only name that I can come up with for it is Chumud, as in Chudjak, chump and mud.

[@Okamikurainya]

A mechanic similar to the PokeRadar, like one of those whistles that can call animals like birds, deer, bears and the like, could compliment Trickroll really well. You'd blow the whistle and a Pokemon will reply, but will often be Trickroll.

[@Regigigas_YT]

But as you get more gym badges, you get more and more different and stronger pokémon, brilliant idea!

[@BigPig83005]

This might be my favorite batch of Pokémon you’ve made when considering all four of them combined. They all have banger designs that perfectly nailed the balance between the source and an actual Pokémon.

[@KLGB76]

Trickroll and Nyabula are immediately added to my team.

[@ΓιώργοςΤσίρος]

Kashiba in terms of competitive play, apart from some iron defense/body press combo will not probably find any use. Trickroll on the other hand, with stab priority boomburst/bug buzz, 123 sp atk and a choice specs? Let's say it will never gonna let you down :) Probably ubers already. Great video as always!

[@milonchello1643]

Trickroll only good stat is the special attack, if it was in gen 9 it wouldnt even be ou. There is to much priority in the game and even a weak move like aqua jet will either ko or leave it pretty low.

@@milonchello1643 Assuming a Trickroll with max HP and SpA, with a modest nature and holding a choice specs. Extreme speed from dragonite only has a 8% chance to 2HKO Trickroll without tera-normal (unless choice banded), while Trickroll has a guaranteed 2HKO on dragonite through Multiscale and max bulk investment. It also has a guaranteed OHKO on choice band Palafin-Hero while jet punch is a 2HKO (once again, unless tera-water). It can OHKO all the Ubers ranked pokemon (and is not OHKO'd by Chien-Pao's ice shard either) except the ghost types, 2HKO's Clodsire, OHKO's Azumarill (while also living a aqua jet unless it has already used belly drum) and even has a 98% chance to 2HKO max HP+SpD assault vest toxapex. You would pretty much have to run a normal immune/resistant pokemon to counter Trickroll, because anything else either gets OHKO'd or can't destroy it before getting 2HKO'd.

Just saying but trickroll should have a evolution called Rickroller where it's a bug/electric type and you can do the rest if you do the idea for pt.2

[@SmartAlec86]

Nyabula would totally be the Pikachu clone of your region (I assume that's the intent, considering the Shiny variant).

[@PikachuX2073]

I'm honestly surprised you managed to make designs that I liked so much! I was expecting to at best not care for the Gigachad mon since the Gigachad meme was whatever to me, but I actually liked it more than I thought I would, and I legitimately would have all the Pokemon in this video on my team. Kashiba was my favorite from the very start, but I can say with confidence that I would be proud to the trainer of Nyabula, Trickroll, and Gigadonis.

I remember you had trouble with the Gigachad one. I was there but had no good feedback of my own.

[@cezaryg5365]

Hey, if you do second part of "Meme" pokemon, I have some suggestions: 1. A pokemon based on Trollface (perhaps a morgrem split evolution due to Impidimp-Morgrem-Grimmsnarl being loosely based on trolls, so it would make sense to have an evolution based on internet troll) 2. A pokemon based on TBH/Autism creature. It's simple design would be easily traced into a pokemon.

[@nickmullins3451]

Imagine Trickroll’s signature move “Earworm”, a sound based move that attacks multiple turns like whirlpool and fire spin

[@JmonsterNEO]

I think that Gigadonis could have a really cool gimmick, it could have a female variant called Gigatea, named after Galatea, the statue brought to life by Aphrodite for Pygmalion, that’s a special attacker and special tank counterpart to Gigadonis. And they could both evolve from a genderless Pokémon called Minimourphous that evolves based on their stats/nature with high friendship teaching the normally jealous and vain Pokémon to be humble and kind.

[@singinggrape9646]

Gigadonis is my favorite! Seems like something Pokemon would actually do haha. Your videos never disappoint.

[@onyxsylvian]

Pepe The Frog - An overweight toad / Kappa Pokémon that conveys both sadness and anger in a Pokémon with two forms. Robbie Rotten - A mischievous Pokémon that likes to trick people while acting somewhat egocentric. Maybe it'd be based on a raccoon?

[@fahmi247]

Good idea

[@wangsengsin2527]

Extension onto the Robbie Rotten idea, an old unpredictable trickster (kind of a wizard like character), who can be wise at times (since Lazy Town at heart is meant to be educational), but piss it off and he will troll you hard.

[@noodlesandeggs1512]

I think Gigadonis deserves a pre-evolution where it’s the soyboy (or whatever it’s called). It can be just a fat lump of clay that cries and complains a lot and makes it’s clay soft and fall apart. It can even have tiny rocks mimicking the glasses and facial hair.

I'm actually thinking about drawing my own Fakemon, but based on CatDog from Nickelodeon's CatDog. And I even thought about using Orthros (Or Orthrus, whichever makes more sense.), the two headed canine mythical creature and brother of Cerberus, as inspiration. But I'm still trying to decide how to achieve that but still retain the CatDog theme. A work in progress, but the thinking progress is doing good so far.

Gigadonis makes me want to see a Galatea-based counterpart Pokemon.

[@thejoabear]

From ability alone Kashiba would be a solid UU mon, which sounds odd but because of it's somewhat awkward stat distribution, massive weakness to fighting (a very common offensive type) ,a competition Gholdengo who fills out a very similar role and Kingambit being overall a better choice than both Gholdengo and Kashiba. Not to say that Kashiba is bad by any means I'm sure they'd definitely perform well with it's ability paired with what could be a potentially good moveset. (Kashiba would definitely see some OU usage just a massive amount)

[@AhmedHussain-ju6xd]

Bro you should have made a *suprised pikachu face* which is just a baffled pikachu

[@unlucky_clovers]

once i saw kashiba, i got an idea for an evolution. it doesn't really play into the meme side of things, but i thought it would be cool. it's called 'ookashiba' (the double o sounds like an 'oh more than an oo') and it would be normal/ghost. it would look more like a wolf, and the rings around its neck look more like wisps. it would gain the vital spirit ability. the name etymology comes from 'ookami', the japanese word for 'wolf', reflecting its design. but also from the japanese word for big 'ookii' referencing the fact that it's bigger now. the ghost typing and the wispy design come from the japanese belief that the wolf was a messanger between the spirit world (referencing vital spirit ability). wild animals were also meant to be linked to yama-no-kami, the mountain god. okok that was a lot, sorry for the long paragraph but i had to get my ideas out. also im writing this instead of my english homework so i should probably end here. thanks for listening to me rant lol byee :-)

[@spo0pti304]

in game trickroll's cry would be any random cry from other pokemon. each one only has one though so people would hunt for trickroll's with unique and funny cries like krikitune

[@tawnyacosta9091]

Nyabula and Kashiba are my favorite Pokemon in this video. Great work, as always. Please, do Pokemon based on the Pokemon Anime ( human ) characters. I'd love to see a Pokemon based on my favorite character, Nando. He's the bard who competed in the Sinnoh League/Grand Festival in Sinnoh.

[@ItsMeVenusaur]

Literally after the notification for this video popped up, I clicked the video instead continuing my art

[@Sailor11Sedna]

I want a Trickroll! I guess a “firin’ mah lazor” mon would be too easy? What else, a “hold m’beer” mon? It gives a held item to another Pokémon when sent out.

[@Rowan_Kieran]

All of these designs were on point and I look forward to more videos like this if you decide to make it into a series. This was a great idea and even better execution. :D

[@mbot1901]

Well since you asked... As a competitive singles player I'd imagine that Kashiba would probably struggle, Steel/Normal is a really rough type combination, being 4x weak to fighting, and 2x weak to both ground and fire (all 3 being very common offensive types). Being immune to ghost is cool but probably isn't doing it any massive favors. Apart from that, 85 attack really isn't great but with the right moveset this thing can definitely be solid at best, especially since good as gold is so good. I think that it will definitely see less use out of it than Gholdengo tho, since Gholdengo is both immune to defog and rapid spin being a ghost type, which is really the main reason why its ability is so obnoxious. Kashiba would be great at soaking up defogs, but it can't block rapid spin so it would definitely struggle more than Gholdengo, especially since the best spinner in the game right now, Great Tusk, is Fighting/Ground, which basically guarantees that the opponent gets a free spin. I think it would do well with a buff to attack, from 85 to somewhere like 100 just so that it has some offensive presence, but really its viability would rely on its moves and whether or not it would get reliable recovery. I can see something like Yawn, Body Press, Iron Head (or maybe a cool signature move that's like a steel type bonemerang?) , Slack Off, being pretty cool and fitting with the lore but that's just an idea. TL;DR: Probably not super viable in the current meta but a very cool idea and could be with the right moves (also I'm a nerd)

[@Nehu_22]

7:51 I really wanted the shiny to be Tac Nayn 😔 so mant people were suggesting it

[@doozsromhacks]

3:15 if you gave it slack off, then yes it would be quite good competetively. despite the 4x fighting weakness tons of amazing mons, even defensive ones have 4x weaknesses, and steel typing with the added benefit of reliablr ecovery, 65/120/90 bulk and good as gold is really, really nice. and it also gains a ghost immunity which is pretty huge. with reliable recovery it'd be pretty good maybe even in higher tiers, but without it it'd be a lower tier mon. nothing wrong with that though

[@CilanSteele]

Ron you are the most creative person I know. I could never see these simple memes and turn them into something with a unique design and concept. Please keep up the good work!

[@jordanloux3883]

[@Pancakes27]

Kashiba reminds me of Dandoodle but is somehow more cursed

[@stormylobby]

While making Trickroll a pun on the idea of an ear worm was a good idea, I also think it was a huge missed opportunity to have it based on a duck instead, seeing how the Rick roll meme was spawned from the Duck roll meme (which had the same bait-and-switch idea, but had the misleading link lead to an image of a duck with wheels edited onto it instead). Also think it was a huge missed opportunity to have Nyabula’s shiny reference Tac Nayn. This was a really fun video otherwise, though.

[@Jonasaurus7]

Always exciting to see a Pokémon I was in chat for in a finished video

[@gooeyfriend5987]
