[@brunoemf90]

@@kosakukawajiri5007 true, but at this point you’re better off doing a separate species a la Gardevoir/Gallade. Each pokémon can only have a base stat distribution, so if it specializes at one attacking stat or the other, the gender that does not use it is at a disadvantage. And if it’s the same, it’s less optimal because you’re not min maxing your spread.

I personally would have made female Diggerby a bit fatter or at least stayed the same as the male, because female rabbits have a dewlap, which is a chunk of fat by their neck they use to get fur, so it would make more sense for the female to have a bit more size to it, or at least the same as the male. And also, some of the choices you made to gender differences here are ones that don’t make much sense for an animal, like a doe doesn’t have a more feminine snout than a buck and hens don’t have smaller beaks then roosters. Otherwise great video and I like a lot of the designs, but I feel a lot of changes you made are more based on what we as humans see as feminine vs masculine rather than the evolutionary reasons why some animals have sexual dimorphism.

The important part is to make sure Odette has swan wings on the side of her head and Ron's version does.

something i always wished was for male combee to have an evolution where he becomes like a knight or something, and they could even have some fun with the way to evolve it like, K.o. two pokemon in a double battle with vespiqueen being on the field. like it would be so cool and match the royal theme

[@stormylobby]

The thing is, if they were going to have a Combee evolution based on a knight, it’d be biologically accurate to have it be female only as well. This is because female bees, or worker bees, take up all of the roles that keep the hive running. Meanwhile, male bees, or drones, are only useful for mating with the queen and ensuring that there’s a steady supply of future worker bees. Outside of that, drones do nothing other than sit around and eat all day. That being said, an idea for an evolution for male Combee that I think would be interesting, as well as accurate to bee biology, is a Bug/Ghost type evolution based on wraiths, as well as the role of “dark lords” that you’ll often see in fantasy, and maybe possibly even pull a bit of loose inspiration from the Asian Giant Hornet, that’s triggered after a male Combee takes so much damage from Ice Type moves (I’d say take chip damage from hail, but considering Gen 9 reworked it into snow, that wouldn’t work anymore) without fainting ala Basculegion. This is based on how, in the time leading up to winter, the worker bees will kick all of the male drones out of the hive in order to ensure that the rest of the hive will have enough honey in order to survive the cruel winter months, thus resulting in the drones slowly freezing to death. I imagine the explanation for this would be that, while most male Combee perish in the cold after being kicked out of their hive, a select few individuals that have the strongest of wills to keep on going, no matter what, will evolve into this hypothetical wraith bee-hornet (HWBH for short). After evolving, they’re filled with a burning desire for revenge against their former hive mates and will try to steal the honey that the female Combee make (thus the Asian Giant Hornet inspiration, as AGHs are infamous for attacking bee colonies, where they’ll kill bees via decapitation, eat their honey, and steal larvas and thoraxes of decapitated adults to feed to their own young), as well as try to take out the Vespiquen leading it. I’d imagine that this HWBH would have a new ability that acts like Levitate, but for Ice Type moves instead of Ground Type, as well as gets access to a fair few Ice Type moves itself. Embracing what caused it to perish to make it stronger, if you will. Maybe it could even have a new Ice Type move that acts like Freeze Dry that targets Bug Types instead of Water Types. Of course, one could argue that this wouldn’t make sense since most Combee are male, but I propose an easy solution to that issue. Have it stated in a Pokédex entry for Combee that researchers have recently discovered that there’s actually many more female Combee than males in the wild, however, females tend to stick in small groups to watch each other’s back to avoid predators, as well as humans. Males, meanwhile, don’t get anyone to look out for them due to being considered less important in the hive hierarchy, and are often forced to fend for themselves, especially in the months before winter. Not only would this explain the existence of HWBH, but also give an in-universe explanation for why there’s so many gosh dang male Combee in the wild in-game. Plus, it lets people choose whether they want an easy mon to find, but tough to evolve, or a tough mon to find, but easy to evolve.

Have Male Combee evolve into a Carpenter Bee. Carpenter bees are basically harmless to people, but they're large, and the males tend to fly aggressively.

I won't go into all of your designs (that would take forever) but I would argue that the biggest things that don't work in execution are the difference in overall size and the removal of parts (like the female heracross' horn). The games have been dabbling with adding size differences of individual Pokémon lately (Pokémon go being the biggest example), and the removal of body parts like horns would mean that they can't learn attack that involve those parts. I do think however that this is a good video, as you tend to think up of some interesting ideas. So I think this is at the very least a good taking point and thought exercise

Actually Nidoking and Nidoqueen are partially more similar, but also with the difference that Nidoking naturally learns Megahorn, while Nidoqueen gets Superpower. With these already existing Gender differences, there is no reason why the same Logic couldn't be applied on Heracross. Just remove Megahorn from the female's moveset, or replace it with another move that the male won't get. Besides... Gastly can learn the Elemental Punches. Primeape and Alakazam can learn Iron Tail.

I'll be upfront with my critiques, but to give myself context I struggle a lot defining masculine vs feminine traits, and resonate with the idea that they're very arbitrary and loosely defined as an idea. Take that in mind with the thoughts I'd like to share. I think overall your ideas came out well and I personally want to bring up my own thoughts is all, as subjective as they are. I'd honestly love to see what you do in the future with this concept and see how you change as time goes on! As proof of concept, there's a lot here that is rather well in theory, but there are some that either really work in practice, or fumble on the execution of the idea and why the original differs from nature. Take Heracross versus Ariados. Heracross loses a key feature of its design philosophy, but Ariados adds to their own. If I had one complaint that I did wish to address, and I could entirely be missing the point of this video and I apologize if I am, the beliefs you express versus the designs on display don't always align themselves as fully as I think they should. What do I mean by this? Using your Milotic example at 4:54 of "Femininity isn't exclusive towards women" there are a few of your designs that really don't push that point further or rely too hard on the tropes of masculine vs feminine rather than properly explore that to a greater effect. A lot of your female Pokemon for example tend to subtly have too many smaller features, such as height and proportion and doesn't really come across as applying that logic to its fullest or challenges that belief (Excluding ones like Dewgong, Cyclizar, and Ursaring to name a few that have more poignant choices). There are some that work, very well such as Ursaring, and others like Alakazam where it feels unnecessary. Really out of all the designs you've done, I think a majority have merit. Cyclizar, Conkeldurr, Stantler, etc. most of the designs have a lot of redeeming and sometimes endearing qualities. I do however think you went a bit heavy handed on one of them. Your Delphox. It might just be me, but Delphox doesn't read as masculine or feminine in my opinion. They're an archetypical mage. Yes, they are based on Witches which are more commonly a title given to women in modern culture, but their origins were gender neutral (Wicca or Wicce). I think leaning really hard on the wizardry themes both changes way too much, and also showcases the antithesis of the more healthy gender differences you've done previously. A small bit of beard alone would've been fine, or messing with how the fur to lean harder into looking akin to a robe would be substantial enough (Though that's more a gut reaction of an idea rather than a suggestion, it'd be something worth workshopping further). Regardless, whether you take anything from this or not is fine, I'm just happy to share my thoughts and hope you enjoy reading this if you are, there's no animosity from me just my general subjective thoughts. Keep up the good work you do! 👍

[@JesseBizarreArt]

@@Cajun_Seasoning Depends. Lovely details in general are a big factor for making high quality games when they contribute anything for the experience while playing. e.g.: if they make you laugh, add information, help with worldbuilding or are just adorable. If you look at Pikachu, the female has a heart-like shape at the end of its tail, which is just adorable and sweet. When it evolves it only has a little blunt spot compared to male Raichu and I don't think anyone benefits from that and certainly noone will change their opinion of Raichu based on that difference. And that is something that is true for very many of the pre gen. 5 differences. In my opinion, neither the specific Pokemon nor the game benefit from these and that's why they went on making fewer and more noticeable ones so that they actually have an impact.

I enjoy the colour variations and slight changes to a design, as like you said it makes the Pokémon feel more special. I really like the Lantern variation and the others that messed around with the body shape a bit more like Dewgong. The Sawsbuck design I feel was a big miss making them bright pink, as it just made it quite ugly and too overpowering. I feel you should of replicated the seasonal foliage on their front hair tuff instead, like winter Sawsbuck and have types of bushes for the seasons. Its a lot less subtle and achieves the same vibes as the male counter part. Also, the designs like Machamp just don't sit right with me and feel you've done the same thing you said others did, which was to give them an hourglass figure. Reducing the muscle mass has possibly done that. The pokemon is already too humaniod and so I feel something like smaller head crests and beaks for males as they are more prone to fighting or showing off and ware them down compared to the females, as to add more of the animalistic features into the creature design.

[@Vengeful_Goan_spirit]

The female Machamp design was lit

[@chesirecat2969]

Idk why but female Conkeldurr gives me Miss Trunchbull vibes. You know, the principal from Matilda.

[@MattFrost224]

It's great to see people appreciating realistic biology again! Thank you so much!

[@wen_and_only]

I love the differences and how thought out they are but I’m kinda sad he didn’t get more creative with the bearded/mustached Pokémon then just removing the beard/stache on the female forms. Many female animals in nature are just as hairy as the males and also have beards (ex: goats) this seems just like kinda adding human sexual dimorphism onto animals imo. Overall I still love the video and think Ron did a great job

[@professoryeetus8955]

agree with this! was a great video but i personally wasn't a big fan of the nosepass :(

[@oldstyle5114]

Eh, we're talking about pokemon here. They may take inspiration from real animals, but pretty much everything else is based on fantasy (as it should)

[@wen_and_only]

@ of course, it’s just a bit cliche and worn to apply gender stereotypes to animals, y’know? not that it can’t be done well (i think ron actually did a great job all things considered) but i’m so tired of the pixar crap where ppl make a set of animal characters where the male is much larger and the female has eyelashes or something despite being a species with no/little sexual dimorphism.

[@lovefurrysand_god]

This is actually very smart, i always wondered what gender differences in eevee evolutions were gunna look like

[@iwanttosleep4506]

hornless Heracross looks so bald. My favourite is definitely the Lanturn design. I always thought it was a missed opportunity to not have a smaller male Lanturn seeing how it was such a huge difference in real life. Female Conkeldurr was giving off that granny vibe and I love the subtle purple in female Machamp that really suited it.

[@Unownshipper]

I think this was really creative and also pretty informative too. Nicely done.

[@Pikmaniak]

DIGGERSBY THOUGH !? Sorry, that joke was from an old Shofu video, so hearing it said immediately reminded me of it.

[@seronimo__7735]

I think that video is from 2013. Nice to see it randomly referenced more than 10 years later.

[@cinnyadh]

im screaming about the diggersby tho reference, ive never heard anyone reference that and you just destroyed me LMAO

[@immagical7036]

5:30 “some species of these creepy *feesh”* 9:22 the fact you gave her BEWBS XD

[@thelucasmdutra]

I think Pokémon would be a better company if they hired passionate people like you. These are A M A Z I N G ideas.

[@Blue_EmeraldX]

Yeah, I feel like GF's female Heracross still wins out on this one; it still needs to be able to use Megahorn, after all, and those antennae aren't gonna cut it as substitutes. I'd like to see dimorphism for Greedent. The base form kinda reminds me of a male dwarf with that dark bushy beard pattern. Also, Bellossom leans pretty far into the hula girl look-a male form would be interesting to see for that one.

[@TiredGiant2112]

DON'T let this man cook again. 🙏🙏🙏

[@CallMeZero_99]

Amazing Video as always!

[@zorusion4888]

How the-

[@epictracks-monstertruckdie6770]

My best pokemon fail ever is probably thinking female hippowdon is a shiny one.😂😅

[@thememejester1792]

I would've added some vivid tail feathers for Blaziken, or at least in its crest

[@OverconfidentCromSupporter]

You absolutely nailed the Conkeldurr!!!

[@ricochet0928]

Honestly I think I'd like regular Machamp a lot more if it had the unitard design from the beginning. The fact that it looked like it was just straight up wearing underwear always looked weird to me

[@CantSay-lk6np]

The amount of respect this video contains is refreshing

[@waheedabdullah6371]

Draw modes of transportation as Pokemon: Monster Truck (Normal/Fighting type) Unicycle that evolves into a tricycle and evolves into a motorcycle (normal types for the first 2 evolution stages and steel for final) Ice cream truck (Ice type) etc.

[@eastonmoon]

I feel like this is your most simple yet most creative video recently

[@Jassygirljassy]

3:47 low quality or not this one is my favorite bc i love delphox, and I like both of them🥰😍.

[@jonalynn1030]

YOU TOOK HER HAIR😭 4:09

[@DigiRangerScott]

I don’t know how spaced out these are going to be but this was way more rapid fire. I hope this doesn’t burn too fast

[@Sepricotaku]

I gotta be the one to say it, I know squackabilly is meant to be a gang pokemon but the pompadour and the musical nature just takes me right to Elvis.

[@Ty_Weresilver]

I kinda cannot believe I'm saying this but female Probopass is rather cute. And you did well with female Machamp! I liked that a lot

[@Marcius-kx5nm]

Thats so amazing dude! Keep up the awesome work!!!

[@LittleYogaMan]

I always thought gender differences were cool. Glad to see you making more!

[@floozy3107]

I love Farfetch'd so seeing that amazing male Sirfetch'd design warmed my heart. Great job Ron!

[@sirefirefly]

I don't super like all the size changes, but otherwise great video!

[@southparkfirefly]

Oh my God...ususally i'm pretty meh about Heracross but that Female one is SO adorable! I love the little bobble antennae on it's own~

[@clover-bb5ps]

I'm super early! I watched the video opposite to this yesterday LMAO (nonbinary pokemon forms of some of the current gender different pokemon )

[@Victor-056]

3:50 Male Delphox: "You Cannot Pass! _I am a servant of the secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Ar'nor!_ The Dark Fire will _NOT_ Avail You, Flame of Or'dun!" **Blocks attack.** "YOU!!! SHALL NOT!!! PASS!!!!"

[@CooperGal24]

I was thinking and designed a fan gender difference of Primarina, if the male variant looked like a bigger sea lion with an appearance like a sea king, like King Trident from Disney’s The Little Mermaid or Poseidon from Disney’s Hercules. I still need to finish it, but I’m proud with how it’s looking so far.

[@NadiaX01]

4:22 What did you sayyyy

[@zachrodan7543]

Love the male delphox design

[@MAGNETICDOGZ]

I like a lot of these designs. They feel way more thought out than some other designs I've seen for gender differences in Pokemon, a lot of which basically amounted to giving the female Pokemon hair, eyelashes, and bra-like patterns (as a woman I just generally find that off-putting). I like how you drew inspiration from real-life animals! Male Lanturn and female Machamp are my favorites. I'm also usually not a big fan of male Pokemon getting beards or big mustaches as gender differences, but you made male Delphox work well - The beard doesn't feel too distracting and flows well with the rest of the design and its inspiration.

[@TeoReviews]

A whimpier male should be implemented? Nah. A bad ass Matriarch should be implemented for Ariados! Great video as always!

[@HDGamerofficial]

7:39 I dunno if it was intentional or not but Ron saying “Diggersby tho” got a happily surprised reaction outta me 😂 It’s only my favourite Pokémon reference of all time, no biggie

[@eskamoo0053]

Isn’t ursaring a sun bear?

[@Lolorti]

Those are amazing ideas. I don’t Know why we don’t get those gender changes more often. I personally would love to have them for every Pokemon just variety.

[@adam.n-steve]

And then there's Gardevoir and Lopunny

[@ammaokami4479]

I remember as I was playing Pokemon Moon purposefully blind, I caught a pair of Sandalit in the hopes it would be like Nidoking and Nidoqueen again. After the female evolved, I gave the male a few more levels before cracking and looking up how to evolve him. Finding out that they don't made me the most disappointed I'd felt in a long time

[@PorygonBugado]

So female heracross wouldnt have megahorn

[@leaderteammimikyu3024]

I don't like the new design, because it lose heracross unique identity. I think a hearth horn is better and it keep heracross identity.

[@KnightOMoon]

I loved all of these! They made sense and definitely added that personality you were going for!
