What If Australia Was A Pokemon Region?

After many people requested it, I'm back to talk about another "What-If" Pokemon Region! This time, we talk about Australia, and what it might be like as a Pokemon Region! I go over all the possible locations it might include, a story that revolves around the dangers of Pokemon, and of course all the new Pokemon ideas that could be in it as well! If you think that Australia is just a country with spiders that can kill you, be prepared to think again!

[@uranium68]

Considering Emus are the only animal that not only went to war with a country but won... twice... I think they deserve to be a legendary

[@alyramalfoy3889]

i agrey

[@nemeasium6346]

My favorite part of our history :,)

[@ThePfeffernusse]

The Australian Navy also shot at venus during WW2 because they thought it was a Japanese high altitude bomber.

[@dubbleyou248]

The emotion leg should be an emu

[@goldenuniverse5375]

Jason Dittmann We dont talk about that.....

[@Stormrider1138]

To be perfectly honest, as an Australian, I believe if we had an Evil Pokemon team, their base would probably just be bunch of tin roofed sheds linked together with tarps.

[@thirteenfury]

Stormrider1138 Team Bogan?

[@marshie3089]

Stormrider1138 oh my god that would be hell funny in the game

[@0zzyninja]

And they ride around in VL commodores attempting burnouts.

[@sirsquidlington8914]

[@indimemes7633]

XDD Tbh I could imagine this too.

[@biscuitface7245]

"when you have arceus that could cough and destroy an entire continent", That is groudon my man Arceus coughs and entire multiverse is born

[@whyaretheredemonnoises3188]

As an Australian aboriginal it's really nice to see the recognition in this video (:

[@ncmprt]

"Emus aren't dangerous" That's what the human soldiers in the Emu War thought, and look what happened

[@ina733]

it should be part of their lore HAHAHA

[@darrienjones8917]

decisive emu victory

[@mattnorris7124]

Maybe in an alternate timeline where we had Pokemon instead of machine guns, we might not have lost

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

Matt Norris you think pokemon are the humans ally? We merely adopted the pocket monsters, the emus were born with them, molded by them.

[@Gavalixy]

WAR TO THE EMUS!!!

[@brae9119]

A professor based off Steve Irwin would automatically become my all time favorite.

[@popey1739]

why do this to us :(

[@Scrota]

Good idea

[@cin7943]

OH MY GOD DJGDJDHD

[@quantumgargoyle3888]

Agreed

[@full-timelesbian1075]

A tribute to a fine man, Hope the Irwins are doing fine.

[@ambymon6578]

As an Aussie, this is my life and I love it. You did amazing with making my country proud, it's not often you see someone talk about all the parts of Australia that aren't dangerous. Also, just a bit of help: Melbourne: Pronounced "Melben", and Brisbane: Pronounced "Brizben"

[@eatyourcereal2293]

Ayy my Aussie brother

[@pineapplemaster5057]

Ayyyyyy

[@henry7486]

Ayyyyyyyyyyy

[@sebastianlayun1258]

God bless Australia, I love your country so much and I can’t wait to visit it again 😁

[@theelementalscientist6631]

Don’t forget CANBRA

[@Mjgaming54321]

Two things: Emus are mean Kangaroos have more powerful fists..

[@dilldpickles8153]

So, dark type emu, in a museum it could reference an "Emu War" in the Pokemon version of that it could be, *ahem* The Emu's could've been eatin' up all of the berry bushes, so the government would've sent a group of old-timey trainers to use Pokemon 4-ever type pokeballs to catch all the emu's, but they all caught only 200-250 emu's, so the emu's could be the starting bird type of route 1, and it could also be the region's zubat.

[@soundwave-superior7372]

When a friend from outside the country comes to Australia and sees a Emu, I wanna say “ Careful, we lost a war to those things “

[@Rainy_R]

Why must my dirty mind go off right now...

[@brycewayne2517]

We have emus at our school they are evil to everyone but me and the math teacher

[@fauziothman8592]

Dark/Flying Emu pokemon with emo theme...haha

[@Hawkatana]

Well since Canberra is the Pokemon League, that can only mean one thing... Victory road is full of roundabouts.

[@regulargoat7259]

+Hawkatana HELL YES. But my local area's got more roundabouts than Canberra. Which is quite sad. What would the league be? Parliament house? The gallery? Questacon? Questacon xD yes.

[@matildalyons8191]

Hawkatana yeah actually it would be

[@matildalyons8191]

ShadowMewCynthia omg i love questacon but i think it would be parliament house or even the war memorial

[@Awesomepossum-yr6hk]

LOLOL I've been through canberra And its too true XD

[@tomdamian5603]

Yes!

[@CaptainAutism123]

I wish you made the Tasmanian tiger as a fossil Pokémon

[@mateorios1636]

Mutaburrasaurus

[@yuvrajsingh8960]

SAMe

[@JohnSmith12648]

If Aus was a region Tasmania whould probably be post game

[@m44n7unu7]

Thats a good idea! :O

[@superultrahero9961]

I agree for fossil Pokémon there should be something that resembles the Tasmanian Tiger resembles Muttaburra saurus and whatever prayer/creatures or things like Tasmanian Tiger that went extinct either along time ago or extinct recently as fossil Pokémon for Australia so like whatever Pressler creatures that were found here in Australia and nowhere else things like Megalovania or short face kangaroo and prostrate crocodiles and wombats anything that was their boyfriend in Australia and no one else should be that are extinct I think should be a fossil Pokémon . also I’m seeing a few word mistakes and spelling mistakes so I’m not gonna go back through them but I really hope you can understand what I’m saying and give him and this was all done by the speech thing

[@jaylentravers2050]

Thank you for being the first American to notice there isn’t dangerous animals roaming around everywhere. But we do have a lot!!!! Of them

[@luvrickarrd6876]

Yeah but some are cute and weird noise makers like koalas lol

[@FROGDUDESPOND]

Yeah we do and lots of flys

[@harrysmith8361]

The elite four would be Scomo, Albanese, Petter Dutton and Pauline Hanson Champion could be Robert Irwin or his family

[@therealsaltysebba9958]

Harry Ranga The Loser scomo the team leader

[@penggao7034]

SaltySeb “Team Government! Leader: Scomo!”

[@zcopey]

Yep

[@donnamitsuki281]

_what if the elite four is the whole Irwin family_ His kids are all grown up now,his son is pretty much doing what his dad did. The personality seems to be in the DNA

[@Lonelyjordie]

The evil team should just be a bunch of emu's you gotta go to war with

[@bladegaming5853]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA yepyepyepyepyepyep

[@youngswank5097]

Lonely Jordie u dumbfuck r u tryna get us all killed

[@matthewnagel7081]

wait, what is that stampede coming at us?? OH SHI- AAAAAA *DED*

[@theb3es536]

and they're dropped in by magpies

[@juanpresidente9804]

Team emu

[@UFBUtifuleyes]

Perhaps for a second fossil-based Pokemon, it could be based on the Tasmanian Tiger or the Marsupial Lion from ancient Australia?

[@youngswank5097]

UFBUtifuleyes or megalania or the giant kangaroo

[@arturoayala1004]

Maybe why not 3 or 4 fossils, to make this a unique region?

[@minaashido1403]

Lions should be from an Africa reagion

[@minaashido1403]

They could be there legendary

[@minaashido1403]

And Ofer cats in the cat familly

[@flibbernodgets7018]

I think a cassowary would be good to include, either as a mono-steel version of Skarmory or its own new pokemon.

[@jamiethedinosaur869]

Either Dark/Flying or Fighting/Flying. Actually, considering the Great Emu War, a Fighting/Flying emu-cassowary evolutionary line would work.

[@Attaxalotl]

It's a lovely day in australia and you are a horrible cassowary...

[@sarahross975]

Dark fighting, cassowaries cant fly and they're mean creatures!

[@mrmanager1311]

Australia would be a great region, so much diversity to work with. - Love the big desert area - Be cool if you could actually dive around the Great barrier reef - There so many cool new pokemon you could create just to do with the regions animals alone - Professor Irwin is also a must

Every Aussie trainer ever!

[@muteryu273]

I think the Legendary Pokémon would be Ghost-type due to spiritual lands such as Uluru, and/or the rainbow snake from the dreamtime stories.

[@benbuurman254]

Dreamtime stories have so much potential for cool legendaries

[@jjrn2536]

And the bird should be pshic sense it messs with emotions EEEEE I CANT SPELL

[@leah.vertrau]

As an Australian, I agree. That's the best idea I've seen in the comment section!

[@DarthMolgy]

What about Tidalik? I mean, if the Rainbow Snake creates rivers, it's counterpart could be something that drinks all of the rivers.

[@leah.vertrau]

@@DarthMolgy Yes That would be awesome!!

[@benpirom]

As an Australia, may I ask why there is no Pokémon based on beer

[@Caerulis]

lmao

[@derekli8757]

@that one animator could be a bottle Pokémon that’s ghost type since it’s disrespectful to litter and so it becomes a Pokémon kinda like shuppet

[@jairedlyons]

The Australian region could also have the middle be a new wild area.

[@mlggames2384]

For the starters a water/poison platypus. A grass/fighting kangaroo. And a fire/dark dingo

[@shazybean131]

Don’t know if you knew this but Dingos are actually British. Look it up.

[@Sky-pv3nj]

Shazy Bean I just looked it up and dingoes are native to Australia. Look it up

[@shazybean131]

RainbowDash19997 - They have been for a long time, you’re not entirely wrong, but after the First Fleet lead by Captain Cook from Britain lands, they brought a lot of animals not found in Australia, including Dingos, and after the dingo population dwindled in England, they’re now only found in Australia, so they are indigenous to Australia as of now, but they aren’t originally from it. I’m an Australian, don’t believe one single article on the internet.

[@shazybean131]

Awesomesnowycool Congratulations! You learn where Dingos are originally from, and thatpeople in comment sections can be incredibly tenacious. Now go watch a different video.

[@pbarnes9274]

First of all dingo only dark kangaroo fair keep same types but platypus only water they becom stronger being all 2 types

[@ClayCampbell]

For all non-Australians... Melbourne is pronounced Mel-Ben, Canberra is pronounced can-bra and Brisbane is pronounced bris-Ben. (Also cairns is pronounced cans)

[@sarahsweetblood]

It's not really pronounced like Mel-Ben or Bris-Ben though, more like Mel-B'n and Bris-B'n because you don't really say the "E" in the Ben

[@ClayCampbell]

Toothie Tooth you’re 100% right mate

[@LuciferXFallen290]

Melbourne is more like Mel-burn

[@maxgoodwin4403]

Can-Bruh

[@trever570]

Nah it's brisbin and melbin, also he pronounced emu wrong as well it's not e moo it's e mew

[@CarlosDGChh]

Please make MEXICO, one of the most amazing and biodiverse countries in the world, full of culture, drastic change of landscapes, mythology, story, references understood around the world. You can also connect it to your US regions!

[@emmaray6215]

Great idea! The legendary could be a ghost type based of El Chupacabra

[@emu954]

Though I'm from Australia, I've been wanting a region based off Mexico for a while because it would be so interesting. It would also be really cool to get a mythical based off an Alebrije! And Axolotls live in Mexico, so a pokemon based off it would instantly be my favourite.

[@xuanluu4873]

There’s another youtube channel named Subjectively that is doing the Mazah region, a fakemon region based on Mexico. Really cool, highly recommend

[@MerSorax2007]

And can you also make a video about a Pokémon region based on The Netherlands? 🇳🇱

[@raftroth9394]

Maybe the evil team may have travelled their from Galar as it is based on the UK

As som1 that lives in Australia thank you the fact that it’s not just desert EDIT: WOW 75+ likes thanks so much EDIT: 200 likes :P

[@mitchellgruninger9992]

The majority of Australia is forest, bush, swamps/marsh, mountains and farm land. The middle of Australia is mostly desert and rock but not like the stereotypical deserts like in USA and Egypt.

[@CyanLovesYou]

[@meikahidenori]

We keep seeing Australian themed pokémon cropping up in the games (especially the last two entries) so who knows?

[@meikahidenori]

@A Random Dude we already do, Unova was supposed to be an American inspired region

[@rutherford5247]

Unova is New York and Castelia city in Manhattan city hehehehe

[@Glory2Snowstar]

Looking on the bright side, the Sun and Moon games take place in the same continent as Australia! So there’s hope!

Good job

[@lavii3355]

The reason why nobody did this is because it’s in the video...

[@GregPhillipsInc.]

You guys are idiots

[@matts3549]

I love how in depth this is! Gives me a lot of inspiration for my own region based off a country I’m working on. Lots of cool ideas and fun ways of looking at the real world!

[@Super_Camera_Man]

Say hello go the galar region. Everyone says “mate” over there.

[@doubleslashkarma]

But more British. We have two species of "mates" British "mates" and Australian "mates"

[@azurecorviknight4189]

Well Australia's probably gonna be next

[@user-cs2ns9zo6b]

Just so you know that started in Britain, which galar is based on

[@prehistoricfanboy101]

Azure Corviknight I have imagined many Australian fakemon and I am PREPARED

[@donnamitsuki281]

Where the hell do you think they got it from????

[@TheMustardMan8]

Team Noble actually makes much more sense as an evil team when you consider that Australia was used as a prison continent they sent exiles to, and even after these men were free, they still got suffocated by the land-cheating high society. But then, I'm just rambling half-asleep what I remember hearing on the Ned Kelly series on Extra History, so what do I know?

[@ClasherofWorlds]

TheMustardMan8 yeah you're pretty much right, Australia was used in the past as a place where England could send convicts to, I forgot what happened to them if and when they get released/ escaped from the barracks and stayed in Australia

[@pinkpegacorn4283]

you are true, and I know, I live there!

[@regulargoat7259]

+TheMustardMan8 Welp, you're right, but it's a little more complicated than that.

[@ammeiku3325]

Ah man, i was hoping for a Tasmanian devil inspired pokemon.

[@laurovision]

Amme ikuzus me too! Also imagine a blue-ringed octopus Pokemon, or an ibis pokemon!

[@zollsa1]

Amme ikuzus that definately needs to be one

[@alannaclark7265]

Amme ikuzus or a Kookaburra

[@baconman77baxter22]

Amme ikuzus h

[@MrSamMaloney]

I really want a Tasmanian tiger inspired legendary.

[@leelambert1559]

Okay, I’ve got an idea: two different dlc regions based on Christmas Island and New Caledonia/Vanuatu. Christmas Island would be very much like the isle of armour, taking a few new Pokémon that could actually be based on Indonesian culture. Speaking of the isle of armour, I feel like the normal region could have the National Park Jungle you mentioned be the wild area. New Caledonia and Vanuatu could have two cities based on their capitals, and have most, if not all, of the area be ocean. Perhaps having underground glass enclosures for traveling and scuba diving to enter the wild area. This would also mean that you might encounter Kalosian people on vacation on New Caledonia.

[@Lusitano9514]

This is one of the most awesome pokemon videos I have seen in a whiiile man, you did an absolutely spectacular job and I would literally melt with excitement if this concept ever became a real game!!! Ultimate props to you dude this is amazing ❤❤❤

[@TheDemoLegend]

I love how much time and effort was put into the video. The quality really shows and I love how much you looked into Australia, as I'm Australian

[@niphfm]

I was legitimately expecting the video to be plagued with kangaroos, koalas, didgeridoos and Vegemite lol. BTW, I'm Australian as well.

[@scarletthellfire5670]

i love brissbane as well

[@noahrosenqvist664]

Sweden

[@TheDemoLegend]

He's foreign and doesn't use Aussie capitals much at all, aside from Sydney.

[@TheAce1737]

+YT "doesn't use Aussie capitals much at all" Proceeds to use Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane, and Hobart. That's all but one - Darwin. You tried.

[@saulkage4223]

If this was an actual Pokémon game I’d buy it, and I haven’t event gotten a Nintendo product in years tbh.

[@saulkage4223]

Don't Subscribe to me Yes it is they’ve owned 1/3 of the franchise since the first game. They own it along with Game Freak and Creatures. Also Nintendo owns the intellectual property that is Pokémon, so saying it’s not theirs is like saying COD isn’t an activision series because Treyarch and other companies manufacture the game.

[@BadAtNames17]

Me: Oh cool my town is up next! Narrator: brisBAYNE Me: 👁 👄 👁 Update: KARENS 15:48

[@nickrussell8279]

Same, as someone who lives in Brisbane, I had the exact same reaction you did when I heard mispronounce it.

[@milkytales]

An Australian Pokémon region would be DOPE. Game Freak, make it happen!

[@starkyuubi8507]

Another fossil Pokémon you could’ve done for this region could’ve been one to represent the thylacine (aka the Tasmanian tiger) as it is actually extinct today as well, so it would be cool to see it again but as a strong and rare Pokémon. *edit- omg I've never had this many likes before thx so much!!! ;3*

[@Paddy656]

That's actually really good. Seeing as it only recently went extinct, I think it would be an interesting take on fossil pokemon.

[@allisonjuno7654]

well its not for sure that its extinct. lots of respectable scientists arent convinced

[@dalesmithers5883]

Good point

[@angelicwarrior118]

Star Kyuubi I would say it should be a rare Pokémon, but not a fossil.

[@andrewanderson1752]

I’m Australian and i didn’t even know we had castles 🏰

[@amarimochi]

me neither XD

[@kylethomas9130]

Been watching Shadiversity, an Aussie who's a medieval enthusiast... I don't remember him mentioning castles down under....

[@pokesics522]

It's not you're fualt

[@lisetteh.1222]

same

[@GreenDinoRanger]

Pretty awesome concept. Interesting location choices, brilliant region layout, love the character and location designs. Would be great to have seen more. Although honestly, Team Noble is a little off for the region for a couple of reasons. It can get bloody hot here in Australia, especially in the summer months so those grunts in their medieval armour would be dying of heat stroke before they accomplished anything in the desert areas. A duke and duchess theme for the villains would mesh with the colonial history Australia has rather than a royalty theme, which screams England. The king (and queen) being the Professor's parents rather than a brother makes a little more sense given the age difference between them. A parent's love and grief for their child tragically taken away can be a powerful motivator. Last nitpick - Emu is pronounced eem-you

[@bananaman259]

The regional bird should be a magpie and you see it in trees and it randomly comes and swoops at you

[@Coolhand24_]

As an Australian, I'm impressed with the amount of research you've done. good job, but your pronounciation could use some improvement....

[@oscarlest9872]

Lucas Kane agreed

[@thomasjones6216]

Lucas Kane - what do you think the starter pokemon would be? I keep coming up with a fire breathing bandicoot, but obviously you'll know your wildlife better than me what are your thoughts? thanks

[@Coolhand24_]

Thomas Jones For a fire pokemon, I'm thinking there could be a fire type koala. They're small but they can be very dangerous, maybe they can evolve into a drop bear.

[@thomasjones6216]

Cool, and what grass and water??

[@stoopidapples1596]

I would say water could be a seal, but that already happened, so, my next best idea would be a penguin, but that already exists as well, so I got nothing.

[@dylan-fi9ed]

The evil team should’ve been our politicians 😂😂 I’m sure other Australians would get that

[@SSJKenpachiZaraki]

for sure omg. that's honestly what i was expecting to see

[@xxbrozannaxx_6787]

As an aussie I'm really happy you acknowledged the fact that we don't just have deserts. But I feel like you could've added more...like The Great Dividing Range(its a huge mountain range the stretches from Victoria to Queensland.) and maybe you could've added some more towns in Victoria such as Sale.(its not that big though) its the first city of Gippsland which is a big area in Victoria. Those were just suggestions but I really liked your ideas. Good job mate! :)

[@jakdee1295]

Ew, Sale 🤮

[@benbuurman254]

Gippsland could be combined into a single smaller town

[@benbuurman254]

Lakes Entrance would be cool too

[@duelforce6812]

or maybe add some aquatic pokemon as you know Australia has the largest reef in the world

[@Wet_sheen]

I know everyone seems to think were just a giant baron red dessert

[@FrostedJr]

Hearing you say Brisbane gave me a seizure. Good video though.

[@thisisasaneaussie6231]

This is probably one of my favorites of the series, also I'm jamming out to the relic castle in the background

[@dinodude8899]

I feel like Womborable and Wooloo would be the best of friends....

[@lizapiashko9105]

I noticed that the professor and king have some similarities to the legendaries. Their views on the safety of pokemon- The professor looked at what happened LOGICALLY, and the King reacted Emotionally (as one would do IF A POKEMON KILLED THEIR SISTER) and decided that all strong pokemon are dangerous

[@dragonbreath475]

maybe add a 3rd legendary pokemon based on reason on something that fits logic and emotion.

[@dragonbreath475]

maybe something like truth or intelligence

[@jamesattack7420]

And it’s LITERALLY THE PLOT of incredibles 2

[@moogleydoot]

I love the story you came up with! My ideas: -a fossil pokemon based on the thylacine -an evolution for the wombat pokemon that looks like the extinct giant wombat -an hp stealing move that looks like a boomerang being thrown -a super rare pokemon based on a panther. (There have been a bunch of sightings of them in real life) -a dark type magpie pokemon (or maybe a regional variant) that swoops you from above -A poison/grass type pokemon based on the gimpy gimpy tree -when you visit the melbourne based city, the weather changes super quickly

[@zanir2387]

The Champions could be a crocodile Dundee look alike

[@assassinaterwolf7877]

All these ideas are honestly amazing! The panther one especially!

[@ambymon6578]

ALSO! Did you know that the Queen Victoria Market and it's parking lot, is a giant graveyard? It was Melbourne's first official cemetery and housed the remains of an estimated 10,000 early settlers. It would be a great place for ghost pokemon.

[@metleon]

Since you're starting in the southwest, anyway, I feel like you might as well make the friendly, early route rodent a Quokka. Then again, a Wombat still fits really well, since Wikipedia says that it's depicted in aboriginal Dreamtime as an animal of little worth.

As an Australian myself, I have a few things to add, Mainly two larger cities which are also rather important, or more important than some areas you mentioned. The first city I want to mention is Newcastle is just north of Sydney and is famous for its coal industry, in fact it exports the most coal out of any port in the world. This coal is mainly harvested in the Hunter Region near the Hunter River. From this city, you could have gone through one of the mines and travel through the cave system, from it. Between Newcastle and Sydney could be a more plain open field style of route as it is neither a mountainous area, rain forest like area or a dry desert. The second city I want to mention is the Gold Coast, it is mainly famous as a major tourist attraction area, it could have been easily been at the exit/entrance to the cave once you leave as close by the city is the hinterland which has many caves and rock formations, the area is also very similar to a rain-forest and could act as a major contrast from where you go into the cave/mine in rolling hills and leave the cave in a place which is lush jungle. This lush jungle like area would be rather short and will give way to the city, becoming less dense as you come closer to it. The city itself is mainly built around its tourism industry and its extremely scenic coast and beaches. It would fit the whole casino, nightlife and hotel them much better than Cairns, as unlike Cairns it actually has these things in real life. further more, there could be a location just south of the city or just in the southern area of the city, could be an area based on the areas like Coolangatta, Kirra and Burleigh, which are mainly known for their surfing culture and the world renown surf break in the area. This area could be a kind of pokemon reserve to catch certain pokemon like Alolan Raichu, Wingull and Buizel which could fit in the whole surf culture of this area. As for the route to go from the Gold Coast to Brisbane, you could go north and take a partial water route based on the North and South Stradbroke islands and Morton island, you would enter the route from surfing over the broad-water which separates the islands and the mainland and then landing on the shore of the isles, there would be three isles with small amounts of water separating them, the final island which will be based on Morton island, will be very close to Brisbane and it would be possible to take a short surf from the island to the mouth of the Brisbane river. In regards to Tasmania, it would make much more sense for it to be accessed via Melbourne, rather than Adelaide as Melbourne is where the ferry which connects Tasmania to the main land is located.

[@gravity1537]

I love what you've done with the region, and I have my own suggestions for it as well! 34:15 Given how you said the Legendary pokemon as well as the queen's full team, I'd assume that's 7 pokemon. Perhaps you could take a leaf out of Greevil's book from Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness? 38:21 Since Golem already has a regional variant in Alolan Golem, perhaps it could be a Ryperior regional variant with crystals for horns instead, or a Gigalith regional form since it already has crystals integrated with its design. Either way, I love the concept of a crystal pokemon! 40:41 I like the idea of an ability that enhances kicking moves, but an accuracy bonus is not only a bit underwhelming but negates the risk-reward element of moves like High Jump Kick. Instead of that, maybe you could have an ability along the lines of Strong Jaw that enhances the damage of kicking moves?

[@RoseSupreme]

I really love this... having your home country inspire a Pokémon region is one of the best honours ever.

[@anndoherty8255]

I feel like you missed a great opportunity to have a tasmanian devil pokemon and a mythical tasmanian tiger pokemon that are only available on Tasmania. It would make a great motivation for people to go there. There are also plenty of old castles there, it would be interesting if perhaps it was revealed that the tasmanian tiger going extinct had something to do with Team Noble, and maybe you free the last remaining one from their lair. Just a thought. Great video.

[@MidnightDragonProductions]

Some of my friends and I are developing a fan made Pokemon region based on Australia, and I’m one of the concept artists for some of the Pokemon we’re making, as well as helping out with the geography for this region. Some of the Pokemon we thought of included: Electric/Fighting kangaroo Ground/Fairy bilby Fighting/Ground cassowary Ice/Poison goanna lizard Dragon/Psychic pseudo legendary based on the Rainbow Serpent Dark type Tasmanian devil Dark/Water bunyip Komala evo based on a drop bear These are just a few we thought of, but yeah. Really enjoy these videos btw

[@Fox531CD]

This was great. Using Steve Irwin as the basis for the professor was both heartwarming, and hilarious, even for someone like me who only saw him a little bit. Not only that, but it fits into your chosen overall theme perfectly. And with the nature of Australia, well, stars just aligned, didn't they? I love it when that happens, don't you? As far as Team Noble, you didn't mention it, but you probably already know this from research, but Australia was initially used as a penal (prison) colony. That fact actually fits perfectly into the chosen these with Team Noble restraining/imprisoning dangerous Pokemon. Just wanted to mention that since it didn't come up, and it could be part of the region's history, somehow. I don't know. Oh, and a slight critique on the artist. Great designs from your artist, though I think the Princess needs adjustment. The crown blends in with her hair a bit too much IMO. For a second, I wasn't sure what the crown was. Since the Prince's crown is the same color, either both crowns probably should have been a different color, or the Princess's hair needed to be a different color. About Regional Komala. I like the idea (even if it freaks me out), but I think you hit a snag here. You wanted regular Komala to be a staple here, right? That's all well and good, but it presents a problem having both regular _and_ the Pokestralia variant there, as the regular ones, if they're native, should have adapted into the regional form, should they not? So what gives? There are a few solutions: Either have the regional Komala only live in a very isolated area where their population could develop differently (fitting the real science behind regional variations), or let the regular Komala be a recent import (thus not adapted). As an extension of the second, you could make the Alolan Komala the one that varied. As in, the Dark type Komala was the original one, it got imported to Alola, and adapted into the Alolan form for whatever reason. If you're going for black widows for a Joltik variant, personally, I would have preferred a black widow design featuring their iconic red hourglass (on the females anyway). Also, considering how black widows are, their balanced gender ratio would need to be tilted heavily toward the females. I guess I'm not entirely sold on making a regional variant of Joltik be a black widow vs an original Pokemon. Other than that, I loved the other Pokemon designs. Had no idea of the prehistoric platypus (though you should have also taken into account that platypi have poisonous barbs, not saying they need to be poison type, but that should probably be in there too). Singer is a very smart new ability, and I liked that you used the Rainbow Serpent. But if I may offer some ideas? I was a little disappointed that you included Tasmania but didn't make a Tasmanian Devil Pokemon. Seemed like a missed opportunity there. You could also use a living boomerang Pokemon. XD Maybe cliche, but hey, it's unique to Australia and it could be interesting to work out, maybe getting a steel edge as it evolves? Another possible source for a very scary Pokemon is the Australia cryptid the bunyip, a very scary, man-eating, water monster of various descriptions. I can't really explain it here, but if you're interested in a good source to learn, try "Tales from Australia: The Bunyip [Creepypasta Reading]" by Scribbler Productions here on YT. She did her research and she does a really good reading too. Sorry for the rambling long thoughts, but that's all I have to say.

[@Sly-zn4sp]

You wrote more in there than i did on my english midterm

[@TheTimmo666]

I agree with everything Fox has said especially about the platypus. Given it's only males that have the poisonous barb it would probably be more appropriate to include it as an ability as Fox suggested. I would also like to add that basing a grass-type bird pokemon on a cassowary would probably make more sense as they live in the rain forest whereas emus live in the more arid areas of Australia so either rock or fire might be more appropriate. And given doduo/dodrio are based on ostriches and are still flying types why couldn't the other flightless birds retain that as a typing? Not sure cacnea and cacturn are great for the region as cactii are not native to Australia. We do have some similar plants which get mistaken as cactii though so maybe regional variants or a new pokemon?

[@mitchellgruninger9992]

True that the professor could be a Steve Irwin like character with a famous Gumtree like name however Steve Irwin came for the East not west. Plus you get way better towns starting towns in the east.

while i really enjoyed the ideas you had for the region i have one thing that kind of bugged me in the port headland town. there is an Australian legend that takes place near that area where a red kelpie dog who would wander the desert areas outside of the town. he was very friendly with the people who lived near there and he became quite popular spawning a few books and then years later 2 movies adapted on the books story. even after Red dog passed the people of the town had a statue placed in the town of Dampier to honour his legend, the statue is still there today. I would think that a Pokemon representation of red dog would be a really cool tribute to his legend maybe make him a mythical Pokemon and act as a roaming Pokemon.i feel that this Pokemon would have a connection to wild Pokemon and act as a guardian that now only shows itself to a human it can really trust. of course this is the main character and the Pokemon presents itself to the player due to their strong bond to their Pokemon. if you would want to know more about red dog i would suggest to watch it its a really good movie. other than that detail that i thought would be cool. i really did like this video and the ideas were really creative. :)

[@toastedtrap4443]

Ok to go with your idea man what if the red dog mythical trusted us so much it became a party member towards the middle or end of the story? Another thing i thought would be cool is that with the red dog mythical Since we're be going to the pokemon league we'd ultimately would become champion and have to as our duty help protect wild pokemon from like poachers.
