What If the RPDR All Stars 7 Cast Were Pokémon Trainers?

[@fortressbuilder93]

My friend, did you nab this idea from someone else?

[@RobbyForShort]

I believe you’re referring to either Uckey’s video from two years ago, or Buggs 235’s video from three weeks ago. No ideas were stolen! I took inspiration from Uckey’s video, Buggs took inspiration from my videos. All three of us are actually very supportive of each other. In fact, Uckey shared both mine and Buggs's videos on his KZbin Community tab so that we could reach a wider audience. All art is derived from other art, meaning there is no such thing as an original idea as evidenced by the multiple Pokémon x Drag Race illustrators on Instagram, like my friend Jake Rayburn (@spoonfulla_sugar), whom you should check out because he’s quite the talented artist.

The carbink to diancie idea also reflects Jinkx’s 2 different storylines. Carbink representing her on season 5, when she was the unsuspecting underdog who defeated rolaskatox on her own. And Diancie representing her on AS7, where she was the nigh-unstoppable frontrunner

THE LORE!

[@godfreyjoe2756]

TWO OF MY FAVORITE THINGS IN ONE VIDEO. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!

[@RobbyForShort]

Absolutely! This was very fun to make!

[@enzokalani]

This is amazing...! And I'm just imagining them all being a battle frontier, maybe one located on a grand mountain that reaches above the clouds cause of the Mount Olympus animated thing they posted before the season. Also frontier brains/battle facility masters tend to have legendaries. Plus you could say they added the legendaries to their teams after becoming champion during their travels before arriving at the frontier.

[@RobbyForShort]

This is a genius concept! I never played the Battle Frontier as a kid, so I don’t know much about the Frontier Brains.

[@enzokalani]

@@RobbyForShort me neither, I'm kinda just a nerd XD

[@RobbyForShort]

Same here! I love being a nerd!

[@enzokalani]

@@RobbyForShort Agreed! 🙃

[@AchroMinion]

I love your idea of giving Viv only Pokémon that are availabe in Galar. Still, Swanna would have been a perfect choice considering "All swans belong to the Queen". :D

[@RobbyForShort]

I know! I learned the swan thing after I finished the script and recorded the video.

[@RobbyForShort]

Thank you so much for watching this series! I’m so close to 1K SUBSCRIBERS, so it would mean the world to me if you helped me get this channel monetized! I have a fun idea for a 1K subscriber special, so stay tuned!

[@troykaka5223]

I'm so happy this appeared I'm my recommended 💜

[@RobbyForShort]

I’m glad you loved it, thank you!

[@agurbenur3716]

3:10 I would of imagined Lunala for that look but Cresselia works too! Great video!!🧡🧡

[@RobbyForShort]

Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed it.

[@7792pnaurfr]

Would have

[@anthonysothern-avery3531]

Loved the content who Pokémon and Drag Race fan! Definitely got a new subscriber!

[@RobbyForShort]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you loved it.

[@shnelbiez5129]

I especially love the choices for Jinkx! 😍 Well done!

[@RobbyForShort]

Thank you! Jinkx’s and Raja’s are probably my favorite teams I made.

[@munchlax686]

I don’t agree with the evie entrance look, it should be toxtricity, the Vivian look should be cottenee or whimscott, and monet’s should be Pincurchin instead of toxtricity. Again that’s my opinion. I love your videos 🥰🥰

[@RobbyForShort]

Absolutely! Not everyone is going to agree with my choices, but that’s what makes fun, the discussion! I’m so glad you enjoy these! Thank you!

[@sunnybloom7272]

This is honestly so well done! Always so I’m impressed by the quality of your rationale. Raja and Jinkx definitely had my fave teams but I’m a sucker for witches and deep cultural significance!

[@RobbyForShort]

As the great national door-opening hero Gia Gunn once said, “Absolutely!” I research a lot in preparation for these videos, but it really helps to have a boyfriend who knows so many fun facts. Thank you!

[@sunnybloom7272]

@@RobbyForShort lmao truest words of the icon but for real that’s so cute, the couple that researches together stays together!

[@Emmaxpac3]

The AS7 queens could have a battle frontier theme/idea as frontier brains are supposed to be better than any other trainer and they’re the winners from their seasons

[@SassyXan]

He’s just giving us a taste so we come back for more

[@RobbyForShort]

😬😬😬

[@tiger1ily420]

dude this is SO AWESOME

[@tiger1ily420]

you just made a video about both my special interests in one 😱😱😱😱tysm

[@RobbyForShort]

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! This took a long time, so I always love seeing all your comments praising the concept.

[@tonkababic9826]

Rpdr and pokemon are my fave combo

[@RobbyForShort]

Thank you! 🤩

[@peppersaltsman6044]

I'm so glad you're doing these! I agree with all your choices

[@RobbyForShort]

Thank you! They’re a lot of fun to do! I’m glad you enjoy them.

[@amazedpanda6815]

Honestly we deserve a Drag Race Gba rom hack

[@itta2000]

I’m so glad about your job!!! 😍🙏GBU

[@heybagley]

Shea paired with Shaymin? Perfect! I mean, their names are both homophonous on the first syllable respectively!

[@cynthiaobligeasmr]

The French Zubat line are actually named after Nosferatu, which I feel adds to the Dracula vibe. Nosferapti, Nosferalto, and Nostenfer.

[@RobbyForShort]

Amazing! Thank you for this little tidbit. You learn something new every day!

[@desipepper2345]

Roserade/Rosalia should be saved for Sasha velour 😅

[@RobbyForShort]

I’ll keep this in mind for a future video!

[@nicholasbosco8811]

Really thought you would have picked Jynx for Jinkx 😂

[@RobbyForShort]

I thought about it, I really thought about it, but it was so obvious. I also like to give them actual Chamipion teams that people can use for playthrough or competitive teams, and Jynx has too many weaknesses.

[@allw1133]

Am I the only one that thought that CoppeRAJAh would have been the most obvious choice for Raja? 😂😅

[@RobbyForShort]

I didn’t give the queens full teams of six so as to not spoil my other choices for future videos. 😉

[@ben-rodell]

1. You’re super cute 🥺😍 2. Pokémon & Drag Race together in one video? Plz keep the content coming!

[@RobbyForShort]

1. Thanks! 😬 2. You can check out my playlist of other Drag Race x Pokémon videos. I still have ideas for other seasons.

[@plutitogus]

You ate this up, I’ve been wanting someone to make this type of content for so long, thank you for existing 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@RobbyForShort]

Thank you! I’m glad you really enjoyed this! I have more videos like this on my channel, and still more to come. Don’t you worry!
