What if Pokemon was set in the MIDDLE EAST?

[@truegreen7]

This definitely made my weekend. You’re very good at reviewing Fakemon.

[@dudemcmuffing1954]

I watched all of you fakemon videos and I love em' 💜💖💖💖💖💖

[@jzef6378]

Keep up the good work I love ur region

[@thunderboargames8369]

GOOD 4 U!

[@OskarDoesStuff]

Hi btw I ❤️ ur vids I’ve watched all of them and I love Asone

[@SM-be5dh]

Love your vids man!

[@Galaxia7]

57:15 I'm pretty sure this pokemon is based on the paraceratherium which were related to rhinos actually. They were found across Asia so I'm pretty happy they thought of that neat animal to include ! And I'm pretty sure that pokemon is *huge*, you'd probably be able to ride them if they were in one of the games - since paraceratheriums were among the largest mammals that ever existed!

[@suchomimustenerensis]

For the longest time it was until the discovery of Paleoloxodon Namadicus(Ironically Paleoloxodon also has the smallest species of Elephant)

[@midnightsky8400]

Let’s go!! One of my favorite KZbinrs reviewing another favorites region! This video has made my day ^^

It's so cool to see you make one of these vids on a region a lot of us have watched come to be! Ron seems like a really genuine and inspired person! It's cool to see his completed project like this

[@e.bthepirate9783]

Magik: I don't really know what the theme is... Also Magik: *Just guessing it literally seconds after*

[@PragMagik]

What can I say? I have a special talent 😂

[@PurgatoryProductions1]

what is this, a crossover episode? seriously, i was so excited when this came out. i've been following asone since truegreen7 posted the first video and it was great to see your reactions. i've had my team planned out for a while now: Azrael the Oxcinerate, Stick-Buff the Phasmasc, Faith the Asonian Camerupt, Pickles the Felance, Glacier the Cryovibos, and Kronk the Carbonk.

[@mranima748]

The whole idea is that strutridge sticks it’s head in the ground, an urban legend about ostriches so when it does that it looks invisible

[@neosphere9248]

Imagine if gen 9 was officially announced a day later- oh. wait. Hopefully gen 10 then?

[@hideyourlocalvaporeons8710]

Love how the gen 9 starters were just shown a day after this video was made lol

[@santiagocain9599]

Yeah pretty funny

[@Spring_roll_VR]

Lol

[@clear_rd1426]

Lets gooooo! I was so hyped for this! Like always amazing video Brandon, keep up the good work

[@billdeco08]

Grass/Rock, Fire/Electric or Fire/Fairy, Water/Psychic. Not bad, I would go with either the Grass or Fire starter (Nothing against the water starter which looks cool). But because I want the Asone Camerupt I don't want to have 2 water types on my team which would overlap

[@algotkristoffersson15]

but their other types are different, who cares about the overlap? the only time that realy matters is if their exactly the same

[@erikhernandez-robledo8433]

I know that this is a little late, but the "phasma" comes the term phasmatodea, the genetic grouping of stick insects (including the descendants, the leaf insects)

[@blufftroutformerlycyclone_6970]

I legit clicked as fast as I could the minute I saw Asone Region in the title.

Speaking of middle eastern stuff, pakistan has many interesting folklore creatures that could be pokemon. My personal favourite is the Halmasti: it's a horse sized wolf creatures that breaths fire and is considered a bad omen. Which could make for a great regional varient of absol or a new pokemon all its own.

[@PahadiSher]

pakistan is NOT a middle eastern country, despite all the wishes of its native south asian population. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Amaling]

The work behind this has been super cool, but tbh the middle east being just one video is a bit... how do I say this, brief? A conglomerate of countries clocking in populations nearing 500 million depending on how many countries are included (the depiction here with Asone seems to include enough to hit that mark), and the birthplace of civilization... when we got entire regions made out of Hokkaido and Hawaii? This is just a pokemon fan project, but I still think these type of discussions are important

[@Kønq-ueror]

I like to think that Precephant is a giant pokemon with huge mountains on its back kinda like what detective Pikachu did with Torterra

[@jacobs5546]

It is. It also raises mountains with it's trunk, so fun fact.

[@Nikowo1610]

I feel like you've probably been harassed about this a ton, but please do Lockstin's Kaskade region sometime He's got a really different way of designing Pokemon and I absolutely adore them

[@seeeel5083]

The water fossil is based off of a whale ancestor that scientists believed it was a dinosaur so that is why it has the dark type

[@PaigeDWinter]

Middle Eastern region. Proceeds to give us African animals, a winter weasel, Loris, which are Indian/Southeast Asian. and yaks.... which are from Himalayas/Tibet/Mongolia/etc? **cries in Arabic**

[@m0tm0t2]

Innit I was thinking this. I hate it when people from western countries (which I also am too) make fakemon regions based on HUGE areas. The Middle East is massive and very diverse. There’s SO MUCH you could do for each country but he’s decided to make a region based on all of it and then proceeds to place anything ‘exotic’ into it. Smh I know a region doesn’t have to have solely Pokémon inspired from that place (eg pancham in kalos) but my god at least make a better effort haha

[@jessicaswinbourn.320]

Strutridge and its evolution are based on ostriches, a flightless bird, so you could say they are 'grounded'.

[@kyrosrexlaghayon1459]

27:59 those volcanoes are now inactive and there’s water inside them that’s called a caldera

[@jaden1903]

Now Lockstin’s Kaskade region

[@tomschwenninger5181]

Can you review the Kaskade Region next please?

[@awesometoadultimate8562]

My team (in dex order) Bellumar (Water/Psychic) Captorrent (Water/Flying) Porcimpale (Poison/Steel) Vivitess (Grass/Fairy) Thundoryx (Electric) Barbayena (Dark/Ground)

[@wyattfair8315]

Next up the kaskade region by lockstin&gnoggin

[@shadowcow3486]

Id love to see a Mazah Region review aswell

[@PragMagik]

👀

[@mranima748]

It isn’t finished yet But I’d love to see it when it’s done

[@MajoraZ]

​@@PragMagik I actually do consulting work for history/archeology channels on videos on Mesoamerican (aztec, maya, etc) stuff. I quite like the Axolotl and Sun Stone lines they have: They did a good job capturing the style of monumental aztec sculptures with the former (may sound like a simple thing to do, but it's a pretty specific aeshetic and most people don't bother to try to capture Mesoamerican art motifs well) and it being water/fire is a nice (albiet accidental, they didn't know this) allusion to how water and fire being paired together in Aztec art is a metaphor for warfare. For the latter, the design is nice, but it being ground rather then rock is (again, albiet accidentally) fitting since they based the design on the "ollin" glyph in the middle of the sun stone, and the Ollin glyph primarily is associated with shaking movements, like in earthquakes (which is why it's on the actual Aztec Sun Stone monument: The monument has, among other things, glyphs representing eachhow the world ended in each age in the Aztec creation myth, and the current age is supposed to end in a giant earthquake) As I said, though, some of those references in the designs are accidental: I haven't seen anybody do a Mexico/Mesoamerican Fan region that REALLY has done a ton of research into Prehispanic and Mesoamerican history. I've helped with a notable fangame, but I only joined after their pokedex was finalized so I there was only so much I could do. I'd REALLY love to partner with artists to do a region myself and help, but so far I haven't been able to make that happen.

[@snowingsea1239]

@@MajoraZ Mudkip is based on the Axolotl

[@leonardooberdadealmeidamon2305]

Eleafant is mah boi! It's evolution looks like a perfect for long walks and trips so i am picking it. And he looks like someone that loves the sun.

[@toldentops1430]

The “phasma” in phasmask is a reference to Phasmatidae, the family of insects that stick bugs are in!

In case anyone was wondering, we likely don't have a dolphin pokemon yet is due to Japan's controversial history regarding their treatment of dolphins & the ethics to do with it

[@evanmaus4794]

This is my favourite fakemon region and an inspiration for my own regions

[@GalaxiaKnightX]

And thus for this region. My starters would be Bellumar for my starter. Because I always go water starter no matter what, then it's Vivites, Dunkraft, Cryovivos, Menhis, and Bradyate.

Eleafant. Perfect naming

[@Galaxia7]

1:05 since they were a trio of "invader pokemon" I think the third one was based on greeks/Alexander the great While I've since before that type of headdress for the second one but I can't remember exactly from which civilization, either Persian or ottomans maybe ? I like a lot their concepts for the legendaries/mythical pokemons here

Does anyone know Hanoch Rozen? He's an Israeli mime who came up with the relative popular "The Robot" mimic show. A Middle East region could come up with a Psychic/Steel regional Mr. Mime just because of him (just like Mr. Rime is based off of Charlie Chaplin)

[@asmodeus58XX]

Also, the importance of fire in Jewish holidays is a perfect way to finally get in Fire/Fairy, in the form of a Chandelure variant/convergent based on the Menorah. Litwick is now based on a candlestick, while the middle evolution, Shabburnat, is now two candlesticks based on Shabbat candles. The final evolution, Faerorah, is based on the holy fixture of the temple, all seven candles burning brightly.
