We Designed NEW POKEMON for Legends Z-A!

[@BonnyJohn]

I want to give all of my love to our panelists today, for joining me as a friends and artists for today’s collab video

[@MrScraftineer]

Okay I gotta be real... I HATE cinderace as a starter I think it just hits the uncanny valley of humanized starters for me.... BUT IF YOURS WAS THE ACTUAL CINDERACE... Oh it would have been the favorite of the three for me no question I love it so much! Great work and your other talent was absolutely amazing!

[@armania_9064]

Great work by everyone also it’s nice you tapped into the potential Cinderace has there as a Sports figure making it a goalie using its ears.

[@lightningstriker8884]

My prediction for the kalosian starters is serperior, cinderace, and empoleon, their typing might be grass /fairy, fire /electric, and for empoleon even though I was thinking water/ fighting for empoleon, I actually see water ice as a better option

[@onyxsylvian]

@@BonnyJohn I'd love to see a sequel where y'all make Mega Evolution predictions; one Pokémon that would be obvious and the "wildcard" or personal want.

[@BonnyJohn]

👀

[@Subjectively]

Thanks for hosting, Bonny! I had a great time with you and the rest of the crew, and I can’t wait to do it again!

[@MrScraftineer]

Jack I LOVE your Kalosian Meganium! The upgrade Meganium needs I agree with the notes John made as your really helped make it understood that quadruped starters HAVE MERIT in sharing personality and even anthropomorphic qualities. Grass Fairy is also a typing that fits well with Meganium

[@BonnyJohn]

Thank you for joining us man! You were such a pleasure to have!!!

[@armania_9064]

I love the Meganium choice as a starter doing more with the plant and dragon theme and it matched with Bonny’s Fire and Water starters so a starter trio was made this video which I think is awesome.

[@Allister-ft9zm]

Awesome designs! I WANT the Meganium to be real so bad

[@alexaliss8233]

Hearing Jack mutter "Ron Stoppable" when Ron is introduced and going completely unacknowledged is sending me.

[@truegreen7]

A good time was had. There was a panic attack, but a good time nonetheless.

[@BonnyJohn]

I'm glad we were able to defuse the situation with laughs throughout. Thank you for being the man and joining us for this video! I had a blast and I appreciate you!

[@bloonsbrawl7784]

The new art style is just beautiful ron

[@ETheFourth]

I swear, that Ludicolo might be my favorite fake regional varient i have ever seen!! 10/10 combined with that new artstyle holyyy wow

[@RoderickWalker-z9d]

@@truegreen7 hi 👋

[@kalebbeaumont]

Absolutely love the new style! (want to put it out there as well I like your usual style as well, do not confuse people complimenting your new one with hating your old one, both are amazing!)

[@vergolophus]

HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!! What a fun time!! Thank you for having all of us!!

[@BonnyJohn]

IT WAS MY ABSOLUTE PLEASURE!!! Thank you for joining and share with us your gorgeous art!

[@Mathewrath]

I WILL subscribe to your channel. You can't stop me >:)

[@Tine_of_Nice_Dreams]

The pidove was my favorite, just absolutely stacked with fluff

[@MrScraftineer]

Okay! So if it is a convergent evo Hydreigon! You could call it Deido, Zweiruff and Hydreibrus!!! These are super amazing I honestly love the videos you are apart of! As a fellow Dinosaur lover!!!

[@Terra_Egg]

@@Mathewrath same

[@wispyfox6854]

That's a crazy artstyle change for Ron but im so on board with how it looks very like ancient with the way his lineart looks i also love the texture.

[@twangerrrrrr]

Reminds me of gooompy past regional form art style

[@ElbyHere]

Can't believe Ron achieved such mastery over the Sugimori art style that he got bored and has finally moved on to a new style entirely his own, haha. For real though, I love it. Everyone's designs here are sick as hell.

[@Syiepherze]

The convergent Hydreigon line could be called: Feino > Zweido > Fidreigo

[@THEexrodus]

Vergo wanting to name the convergent Hydreigon "one-two-three" in french made me think of doing it like "Undreigrois" or somethin which is close to pronouncing the original name

[@procato949]

I was thinking Hundeutroi which are the french numbers un deux et trois but it also has the association to dogs with Hund-Hound!

[@elokval]

idea for the name of the hydreigon convergent: Houndreigon

[@blaireshoe8738]

ok, this name really sells it for me. It's much better than "Dogdrio" which is where my mind couldn't help going 😅

[@edmaiunbound4135]

I adore Ron's new artsyle! I'm a sucker for bold sketchy line art, and the dynamic poses and dramatic perspective is chefs kiss also i would die for that pidove, my heart cant take the cuteness

[@ASCENSiON_]

I agree with all of this! Ron's new art style really makes these Pokémon's visuals look so much cooler, and I desperately want that Pidove.

[@Possumbreath]

These all rule so hard!!! Especially love to see Ron trying a new style, the chunky lines and textured coloring are lovely. I also love the detail that kalosian cyclizar is aggressive and intimidating because of the giant dewlap wheel. The dewlap wheels are my favorite part of the gen 9 legendary lizards and I love seeing people draw in the biological basis for them

[@triplejustice3795]

I genuinely ADORE Ron's new artstyle. It's very reminiscent of the watercolor artwork of gens 1 and 2 but also has a very modern feel to the rendering. I feel like this style works really well for more original creature designs. I would love to see some Ron originals like this! Also I LOVE Kalosian Cyclizar, an absolutely genius concept that's executed perfectly! Chefs kiss to Ron in this video, he popped off

[@CooperGal24]

XD That Pidove design, the way it's standing, it's reminding me of this one parrot that has a funny kind of walk! The one where it looks like it's marching instead of walking or hopping, like in one of the videos! Pretty sure anybody that saw that video knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about! Also, I thought that Subjectively got the color idea for Vespiquen from the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, with the red colors and the design, the fluff on it's head giving it a "Bigger head" look. Like how the Queen of Hearts was drawn in both Lewis Carrol's book and the Walt Disney movie.

[@arininquotes8396]

I didnt "get" convergent forms until i saw convergent Hydreigon as a cerberbus, and then it clicked.

[@FunnyFany]

Ron's Ludicolo be like >:(

[@beckhampang191]

That MEGANIUM IS PERFECT. That is really my favourite Meganium regional design as well. Like so much better

[@Garvant_]

Love the cinderace form but i feel like it really needs a secondary type to separate it from its original counterpart gameplay wise, i feel like something like the ground type would be good to really nail the defensive low to the ground nature of being a goalie also would be good to strengthen that ancestral diggersby connection Edit: i see youve addressed that 💀

[@anthonytonythegeek5561]

I mean we have BloodMoon Ursaluna and White striped Basculine

[@tehesprite502]

@@anthonytonythegeek5561 Bloodmoon Ursaluna's a specific member of the Ursaluna species, and White Striped Basculin evolves into Basculegion.

[@treigile2742]

All these designs are great, but the pennyfarthing Cyclizar is my favorite. I can just imagine a counterpart for it being a Cyclizar with Miriadon features whose back wheel is significantly bigger than its front one.

[@luckas221a]

you wanna see a cyclizar with a big badonk???

[@hag8752]

One word… Unicycle

[@coolguy5133]

My idea for regional variant: Kalosian Lopunny Type: Steel/Fighting Ability: Arceus' blessing: Attack, Special Attack and Speed raises two levels per turn if Arceus is in the party. Signature Move: Holy Lance; when imbued the power of an Arceus Plate, the Attack changes type Inspiration: Joan of Arc Note: I wish I could draw.

[@Aaa-vp6ug]

It would absolutely be banned from ubers

[@coolguy5133]

@@Aaa-vp6ug and a Judgement Smeargle holding and an Arceus Plate wouldn't? Also, her truest potential only works if Arceus is in the party, wicth in competitions, we can't have Mythicals, so she would just be another Lopunny variant.

[@Aaa-vp6ug]

@@coolguy5133 many Ubers teams have Arceus to begin with, and I’m talking about the 2 free dragon dances every turn thing.

[@samsandwich211]

I very strongly prefer Ron's new style. It's so unique and it feels like he's really hit his stride

[@ASCENSiON_]

Agreed!

[@plubcol]

Dude this video is incredible. Ron especially cooked with this new artstyle. It looks so damn good. Great job to everyone involved!

[@Cornbread33y]

Oh WOW, love the art style change from Ron, god damn. This is a really nice rendering style :O

[@NeilThmpsn]

Lombre can now remember the move Torment, and leveling up knowing this move triggers the evolution.

[@rekcroom]

OMG RON’S ARR STYLE HERE IS SO GOOD!!! PLEASE GIVE ME MORE!!!

[@seraph_rj5700]

15:22 has any pokemon ever evolved by minimum friendship? An Unhappiness evolution?

[@DPUDDZ]

Ron's new art style has taken his designs up a few notches love it.

[@balrogdahomie]

It’s funny that Jack said the inspiration for that color scheme was just the hue slider, because Burgundy the color was actually named after a region in France Well, more accurately, it’s named after a wine from that particular region of France, but you get the point. There’s a French connection there.

[@smoakdragon]

The gasp I gasped when Ron’s Ludicolo was revealed👀 What a cool direction on art style! Love it!!

[@avisperspective6145]

Vergolophus did a gargoyle that has an awaken form. I don't know if this is a Disney's Gargoyles reference but this made my heart sore. It even can't fly just like them, I love it.

[@eddie-roo]

I think that’s just real world gargoyle lore

[@nowits1005]

i LOVE kalosian druddigon so much! the concept and execution is absolutely perfect, and i was already a fan and supporter of the silly little lego brick dragon. also, ron's style change was absolutely breathtaking, would love to see more of it!

[@anyathepanther7977]

14:50 "once the Apocalypse hits and we are still playing Pokémon." I can see that happen.😅

[@ASCENSiON_]

Each and every single design was brilliantly done! My favorites are easily Kalosian Cinderace which fixed the massive issues I had with its Galarian form's lame design and broken stat distribution, Cyclizar whose design is absolutely hilarious, Pidove which I love and desperately want to see evolve, and Meganium for taking its design and personality in a cool new direction! I've really been enjoying Ron showcasing this new art style more and more too.

[@deepeshvasnani1100]

Damn I love Ron's new art style. He usually doesn't start too far from official art in lighting and colours but this style manages to be offical-looking while being unique

[@oblivionslefthand]

Cinderace: I love the ears. I really like that I can look at this guy and go "Oh! It's Cinderace!" Flipping the colors gives it a cool twist on the usual design, and the new helmet is less silly. A+. Empoleon: Ok, I see it. It's definitely a bigger divergence than Cinderace, almost feeling like an alt.evo, but I do like it. Flipping the decal and making the claws pauldrons are great touches. Ludicolo: Seeing them side-by-side really helps. The drooping hat with the flower really makes it feel so different, but that's the only major change aside colors. Great minimalist design. Cyclizar: This one threw me for a loop. It felt like there were a LOT of new details until I realized they were Koraidon's. Cool seeing Ron take advantage of a unique opportunity like this. Pidove: He so fluffy! And that's actually a really interesting way of being able to shift the proportions of a variant. It looks very different at first, but then you see all the patterns line up. Hydreigon: Turning the dragon into a cerberus is very inspired. Also, the tail being based on the wings is very cute. Druddigon: This one has a lot more proportional shifts and tweaks to it. It feels more like a redesign or convergent than it does a variant. Still cool, though. Vespiquen: Same body, but we layered fluff and confections on top of it; a good way to change design elements without altering the base. I like that I recognize elements from other bees. Meganium: This is an instance where there are not a lot of changes, but they're very bold and in the right locations to make a big impact. It works very well. Also, Vergo freaking about about dinosaurs was very cute. That made me smile.

[@KuroBraixen]

Love that without even coordinating with each other you got a full fire, water and grass starter trio that could end up happening LOL

[@peterrealar2.067]

I can't say I agree with NOT adding a second typing for Cinderace's regional evo but the design is definitely FIRE. Pun intended. But Kalosian Empoleon is INCREDIBLE. Yes, I agree with Scorbunny and Piplup being THE starters. Some crazy ideas here. VERG'S ARE AMAZING!! I'm sad no one tackled the regional Serperior. But the shiny regional Meganium is more the color I see as the normal color.

[@heekoo_8287]

wow what an awesome collab! kalosian cyclizar and druddigon would 100% be on my team

[@Aghul]

I love how in Cinderace, all the red and blue parts were inverted on this new design! It's a really neat detail and really fits the theme of both versions being on the same team but in different positions! Also, I didn't think I could ever love Pidove but Vergo's version is SO ADORABLE. And Druddigon?! Amazing! 10/10 would put on my team. Subjectively's "the hue slider" comment really got me xD

[@velvetomen]

[@pnutbteronbwlz9799]

[@jorgehaswag7294]

Loving the art style switch up from Ron! Even though it doesn’t look like official art, it kinda looks like an alternate direction that sugimori’s gen 1 style could’ve gone in which is way more expressive imo

[@TyTyTheShyGuy]

Ron’s new art style is really neat! It kinda gives me like marker vibes with the coloration which I enjoy

[@french-teapot]

Cunine - Deuxggo - Troisberus, are my suggestions. XD That thrid one is super hard to find something that sounds cool though. I love that Ron is trying something new; always good for an artist to try different things, and if finding his own style means it being non-Sugimori-esque, then good on him! These are great designs all in all! The regional Meganium is definitely one of my favourites.

[@StephenMeek]

A tapestry Pokemon would be awesome. I could see a flying carpet/ tapestry/ Ittan-momen inspired design. Or like the furniture covered in sheets that may be inspiration for the sheet covered ghosts we see around halloween. (Incidentally, that could have a connection to Egypt's Medjed too.)

[@zachalex3247]

I'm an opera singer and I'm expecting Skelidirge to be the fire starter in the FRENCH reason

[@kit_kristof]

Big +1 for Rons new art style! So awesome. I always felt personally his more traditional Pokemon art style didnt quiiiiite look like legit Pokemon. I think something about the eyes, but they weren't ever quite dynamic enough either. (this is from a terrible artist, I know I couldn't do any better, just an opinion) This new art style is super unique and dynamic, but also still works to present fakemon (especially for these Legends style games too)

[@Tay-v2p]

OMG, all of them are amazing and you and the other artists have killed it!,I expecially want that Druddigon and Empoleon on my team, also I was surprisingly shocked by Ron's new artstyle,I like it and Ron if you're reading this comment I want more in this new artstyle please.

[@NoodleKai007]

Dude when Vergo revealed her Druddigon with the mention of brumation I shouted "GARGOYLES" and I am so glad she took that route (even mentioning fhe show!) cause it was one if my favorite shows as a kid. I run around like a feral brainrotting animal if anyone mentions it now lmao 😂

[@ohcadin6590]

Fun fact, fans are pretty sure that the starter Pokemon for ZA were revealed through the Pokemon TGC. One of their recent card packs has the trio of Litten, Turtwig, and Totodile on them, which is especially notable since the starters for Legends Arceus were pre-revealed the same way... Edit: what i find really fun about this that all three of these starters are my favorite starters of those generations... which is fun because in Arcues they were all my second favorites of their generation...

[@claytongriffith8323]

Ron that artstyle is dope

[@YashokuArt]

Ron's art style in this video is really appealing to me! And the Ludicolo gave me Brute Bonnet vibes a lot - a Pokémon I have never really connected to a Kappa before

Meganium is my favorite starter and one of my top favorite Pokemon of all time so I love that she is getting the love! 100/10 would shiny hunt! 😍

[@PhantomPhoenix105]

[@umbreonhyperdream]

*Kicks open door politely* What did I miss? The three guys was so funny for no reason. Lop eared Cinderace is my favorite (I love its G-max form). I love Kalosian and the reason for the ears being that way is genius. I love the shiny too (100% I would caught this thing if it was real) I do love Empoleon they're cool and kinda underrated, it's nice to see it get attention (and the type combo it deserves). I like how the pattern is flipped. It has a gun. Penguin gun. Amazing shiny again. (I wouldn't be too surprised. The love for the water type starters seems more diverse compared to the others) Ludicolo's color scheme is so pretty. The cool colors are very chilly which is very fitting for a dark type. I want to give him a hug and a pack of stickers. (Idk what's the funniest option? Maybe you give it a single friendship reducing item before leveling up?) Beef cake Cyclizar caught me off guard. Big fren :] He looks like he'd just punch you in combat and I find that hilarious. (I'm not good with statistics) Kalosian Pidove is so poomf. It's perfection. Regional fake Deino is amazing already love. The goodest Cerberus. Goodest boy. I'm going to cry it's so cute!! The harness pattern from the treads is genius. Prebby shiny. (Yes without hesitation) That Druddigon is so metal! It looks a lot cooler then the actual Druddigon. FORM?! It's friend shaped. In a probably have to fight you to the near death before hand kinda way. The shiny is pretty. (Stone, I just think it looks cooler in that gargoyle state) Vespiquen is cool but hard to draw so I don't associate with her. She's bougie! and fluffy perfection! She looks so polite. The shiny reminds me of Whirlipede and Scoliopede 😊 (I love when the different forms have differing personalities, I think it adds to the world in universe and I just think it's neat) Smug horse lizard will beat to you to death with its head vines. Again very pretty colors. The flower it so good it hurts to look at. Cute. The flower is such a pleasant pink it the shiny, I love it with how soft the colors are it's surprisingly fitting for such a diva like pokemon. (No I just don't like Chikorita)
