[@Tony_AM009]

I personally like the look of your regional variants of Gothorita & Gothitelle, which I never thought I would ever say/type out. I've never liked the look of the Gothita line, so you nailed this. Given their inspiration, they would definitely need the Dancer ability. The Rock/Ghost variants of Sandygast and Palossand are clever. I also love your take on a Water-type snake Pokémon with Hoennian Sandaconda. I love your Fire/Dark-type variant of Crabrawler and the regional evolution Crabroiler. I love what you did with Unovan Riolu & Lucario. The coloration as a whole, the typing, the ice replacing the metal, the inspiration, as well as the gray hair being reminiscent of Hisuian Zorua & Zoroark(at least to me). The Fire/Psychic variants of Staryu and Starmie looks good.

[@JoPC54]

Hoennian fire/ground Gigalith line? Inspired on the desert and mt. Chimney on route 111 and 112, could be a Pure fire and pure ground type, like they adapted to both desert and the mt chimney or just a Fire and sand type that can be found on both areas

[@Terradragoon]

Fire/ground does need more love, but I'm not sure another slow one, especially in a region that's famously water-heavy, is the best direction.

[@JoPC54]

@@Terradragoon yeah, it would really suck to just be a really easy to outspeed fire ground type, but just the idea is cool tho, could also be a complete divergent pokemon tbh, maybe a Vulcanic Gigalith that is more focused on attack and sp.attack, although its really not original to just take a defensive mon and make it angy or something like that and boom he has 150 attack and 0 defense, also i just now realized that i wrote "sand type" lmao, I must've been sick that day and wasn't thinking straight because god damn

I remember making making a fanmade regional Alola varient for the entire Rults line based on hula dancers and fire dancers, even made 2 forms based on their gender. The females are the Hula dancers with the Grass/Fairy and the males are the fire dancers with the Fire/Fighting type.

[@Riolunator]

[@superflameking03]

I love stuff like this. I daydream of the day we could get a Kanto reboot instead of a remake and have, like here, come up with my own Kantonian forms as well. The ones I'm most excited about is a pure Fairy Ralts and Fairy/Dark Kirlia and Gardevoir that adapt to living in Mt. Moon because their kind spirits leads to them wanting to guid people through Mt. Moon (the dark type purely being for moon related purposes). Don't know quite what to do with Gallade tho.... maybe Fairy/Fighting or Fairy/Steel? (like in becoming a knight maybe.....)

Interesting concept for Sinnohan Crabrawler, although I see it starting off as mono dark-type, and it gains the fire-type upon evolution. Speaking of which, Sinnohan Crabrawler will evolve into Crabroiler by leveling up at Stark Mountain or by fire stone post gen 4.

[@madnessarcade7447]

Hot take Bdsp is misunderstood it may not have had platinum content but it did add it’s own new stuff like expanded underground, updated qol, modern type chart, modern movepool, ramanas park etc and it’s got wholesome vibes Also Ilca is more experienced now It was loved by the mainstream casual audience The more hardcore fans may not have liked it but they weren’t the target audience The game was designed to be an approachable game for beginner players so they had to make it look as cute and as welcoming as possible hence the chibi appearance

Great Video! One I will be hoping for until we get the poison/ice typing will be regional forms for Nidoking and Nidoqueen. I think giving them a viking feel, with ice armor and longer hair could really give the unused type good representation.

[@BrontoSmilodon1]

11:44 technically Crabominable was based on a newer trench crustacean called the Yeti crab and making it evolve on the mountain gave it that Abominable touch. So if anything sinnoh's crabrawler should be a spider crab with Ushi-oni highlights.

[@Mando58]

I love that two of my favorite poketubers finally did a collab

[@misterzygarde6431]

This was something I wish the Sinnoh remakes did, having Sinnohan variants of various Pokemon if only to give it better type diversity. But alas, they didn't have any time and had to stay "faithful" to a fault. At the very least they had the Grand Underground. Still, they could've had Platinum's expanded Pokedex. I myself had the idea of Water/Ground variants for the Sandile line that live in the swamp areas along with an Electric/Ice variant of the Electrike line that gained the Ice typing as to survive the harsher climates of Sinnoh. Now... I had the idea of Sinnohan variants of Rowlet, Cyndaquil, and Oshawott that'd evolve into Hisuian Decidueye, Typhlosion, and Samurott due to them having traces of those forms. Possibly as part of the Grand Underground alongside the other Hisuian variants.

You should do mega evolutions for these regional forms, not existing regional forms, but these ones just to be clear

[@RainMarrlen]

14:47 I legitimately said "Strange House! Strange House!" in response to this

[@featherflight8446]

Technically, Sinnoh was the first region to give us something close to regional forms with the Shellos line since they had forms dependent on which side of the region you found them in. And yet Game Freak did nothing with that until Alola when they finally explored the idea of Pokemon that adapted to their surroundings to the point where it altered their very typing. I’m really hoping future remakes of past regions fixes that problem since regional forms (and the later inclusion of exclusive evolutions) was one of their best and most creative ideas for the core games.
