Is they really linked to dragons in Japan, or the other places they translated the games exept England?

[@leetri]

@@turkoositerapsidi Nope. In Japan, dragonflies represent victory since they're great hunters and can't fly backwards (no retreat), they're considered as nostalgic since they're very common around rice paddies, and they can represent the soul of a passed loved one (which is why they're common in art). Here in Sweden (and in neighbouring countries) they are considered to be tools of evil; either being used to spin magic, sew the eyes together of sleeping people, or to weigh a man's soul for the devil to inflict misery upon them.

I love your analysis on what makes a good Mega design. One of the issues I've often seen with fan-megas is that some people often don't seem to understand that there's a pattern or process that they follow, and so they make the mistake of just overdesigning a pokemon by adding a bunch of uneccessary things to them. I love your Mega Turtinator and Flygon designs! They capture what makes a Mega design good, and they feel like the could actually be in the games! Especially the Mega Flygon. If we do get it in Z-A and it looks at least similar to that, I might use it on my team!

How competitively viable would Bug/Dragon type be though? I feel like nobody would use it over regular Flygon, since it would lose its immunity to Earthquake (because it no longer has levitate), and gain multiple new weaknesses (albeit losing 4x ice weakness). It would lose its stab bonus for ground type moves (it would also lose its immunity to sandstorms, though that's less important). Maybe the stat boost + tinted lens would make it worth it though. And I could see it being a strong U-Turn user...

[@turkoositerapsidi]

A bug resist ground tho. Maybe it would help if bug type would gets new resistance to dark and psychic. Also bug does already resist grass when ground is weak to it. But You do have a strong point. Maybe flygon mega could have a new ability to it where it would be immune to sand, but could also refer the lens.

[@ttmfndng201]

I think losing a ground immunity isn't so bad since it still resists it, bug dragon isn't so bad as an offensive typing with tinted lens. I think with the right stats being moved around to the right places, it could definitely be good. (see mega beedrill, though for mega flygon it should be a bit less min-maxed)

[@FelisquareTheViewer]

It's cool that you made a mega for turtonator, but while I was watching the video I was hoping that you would also make a drampa one since they are both counterparts, even so the megas for turtonator and flygon look incredible

[@AnglerSeaAngel]

[@meeb_consumer]

I've noticed that megas typically go to a theme of "turn it up to 11". They make pokemon more extra. Tons of megas have spikes everywhere, and even with cuter ones like slowbro or audino, slowbro takes the shell and makes it massive while giving audino an over-the-top sparkly appearance.

[@vincentmatamoros1757]

I love your mega flygon design even though it's different than what I was thinking up. I was thinking abt leaning more into the ground type than bug. Flygon gets bigger kite wings that are more suited for gliding, and it uses its tail to spin sand traps in the ground. When something is stuck it uses its large size to trap the creature in the trap. Basically the inverse of real antlions.

[@carterkc6429]

A problem I’ve seen in a lot of fan made megas is, instead of just expanding on the design, they just throw in new ideas for fun, with no basis in the original design. I saw one idea for a mega Zoroark where they just, made it electric type? For some reason? And when Subjectively’s fan game had a mega design contest in their discord, I saw someone redesign the burnt popcorn Pokémon to be covered in like chocolate sauce and stuff. It was really bizarre, because it’s not expanding upon the original idea, it’s just making a new idea with no regard for the original design

[@sam_the_yeen]

[@Justic_]

Another important aspect to Mega Pokemon-designs for me is that they generally try to keep the general "shape of the body" or at least aspects of it intact... which seems contradictory to your point about Mega Pokemon adding strong shapes, but both actually coexist. Taking Manectric as an example, it added a strong shape in form of its mane growing across its back into the shape of a giant lightning-bolt... but outside of that, Manectrics shape remained largely the same, as did its size. Going to one of the Pokemon that changed its body-shape the most, Swampert got super swole, and its standing with a hunched back compared to its original design which on the contrary probably let its lower back hang a bit more, clearly on 2 legs instead of the more quadruped approach of regular Swampert... but if you deflated those muscles just a bit, it'd reveal a very Swampert-like body, same as Mega Gyarados. This also comes out in the designs in this video, Turtonators general body doesn't seem to change much, but its shell grows immensely, and Turtonator itself adapts into a quadruped changing its sillhouette. Flygons general body-shape remains the same as well, even if it has this more metallic armor scattered across its body now, and its antennae and arms changed shape a bit more, but the main change to its sillhouette was mostly extending its wings with another diamond shape and the addition of a second pair of smaller wings. Basically, the magic of Megas is that they're both simultaneously a distinct form clearly derivative of the original, while still being still clearly that original underneath. Or, for a comparisson to Digimon that doesn't compare to Mega-level Digimon, its like how MetalGreymon is still clearly Greymon... unlike WarGreymon which completely changes more radically. Another part of Mega Pokemon that's been consistent so far though is that they keep their primary typing intact... which would mean that Mega Flygon becoming a bug/dragon-type when we officially get one is somewhat unlikely as of right now. In general, as you pointed out the fact that it wasn't a bug-type originally, despite already having a bug/ground-type in the same gen that evolved out of that typing in Nincada, somewhat feels to me like there's a reason that they prioritized it keeping the ground-type, although it is also part of the bug-egg group. Reading its dex-entries, they focus on it creating sandstorms that keep it hidden and its wings creating a sound that attracts prey, so... essentially the same type of hunting-method as Trapinch, staying hidden and laying a trap for its prey, just with it not staying underground but inside a sandstorm now. Perhaps, that's why its primarily a ground-type, because the focus is on it being a Pokemon that creates sandtraps. Basically, it being a ground-type is more important to its identity than being a bug.

[@kingcroc801]

Flygon Will never be bug dragon because if you look at every single mega evolution only the second type gets changed or added (gyrados goes from water flying to water dark) Flygon is ground dragon so only the dragon type will change (or stay the same)

[@lotuskeksic]

kites in croatian are Zmaj which also means dragon so the flygon design is waaaay cooler knowing that

[@TouhouEXPolaros]

The most Hilarious thing about his take of Mega Flygon is that it would take damage from Sandstorm.

[@zacmayes2802]

Even though tinted lens is a really good ability, if it was the type show in the video, it should have Sand Rush or Sand Veil since those abilities have the added effect of being immune to Sandstorm's damage. Maybe they'll rework sandstorm since it no longer is a parallel to hail (which is now snow)

[@aruraven]

I really appreciate you analyzing shapes and themes and all of that here. I honestly thought it was just make it spiker, bigger and digimon with the Megas. 😅

[@jonathanflanagan1504]

The reason I believe for why Flygon was never bug type is because by gen 3, Bug was still the defacto 'bad' type, and is the antithesis of Dragon, which was made to deliberately be powerful. This is reflected in the fact that replacing the Ground type with the Bug type would make Flygon worse, even today. The only positive for swapping the types is no longer being quad weak to ice, but the drawbacks of losing one of the best offensive types in the game for the WORST offensive type, as well as the poor defensive trade, is just not worth it.

[@papaotchere1364]

Great video as usual

[@DawnToDusk-gd9ei]

I didn't know you made some of the designs in kadomon, I had seen a couple of roguelike channels play it the art was awesome, and the game seemed really fun.

[@Someone-me1tx]

The design philosophy behind megas is that it accentuates their strongest feature

[@xaius4348]

I always thought of Megas as simply taking the original pokemon and over-designing it, which stands out quite a lot in pokemons general style of simple and effective designs, But over-designing isn't quite accurate, since the actually do become somewhat more focused in their visuals, so it really just applies to the details... But bringing up shapes and silhouettes is really interesting as a perspective. There may be more details, but they don't disruipt the silhouette, as some of them actually become simpler silhouettes overall.

[@kalosianporygon]

[@annaangelic2318]

If you’ve been playing pokemon go, watching the anime, or engaging outside of the core series of games, mega evolutions haven’t been made defunct. it’s interesting to see that popular fan consensus on mega evolutions is the narrative that they were dead rather than not preserved in the core series for about 5 years

[@waynelavoie1120]

The reason why mega ampharos gains the dragon type is cause ampharos's Japanese name (Denyru) Means electric dragon

[@sakuya1185]

I think Mega Flygon could resemble the real life fighter jets we have while also being in the theme of antlion. First, the first pair of wings would be angled like a wings of a jet, then having another pair of wings like the original antlion that could change it's alignment like a jet could. Lastly, the "wings" on the tail being more apparent to fully resemble a jet, also making the tail become straight of course.

[@nurhayatiabdulkadir79]

That one pokemon in the thumbnail: ah❤

[@brunitop4753]

I think instead of giving Flygon's wings another "segment" you should give it another pair of wings. And, instead of diamond frills on the wings, it should have a dark spot on the wing shaped like a diamond. This is in reference to the pterostigma, a spot in the wings of bugs like dragonflies and antlions that is heavier and more pigmented , which helps with balance when gliding. Basically, I like your idea for the design of Mega Flygon in the sense of adding to the silhouette with the kite shape, but the way it's done seems haphazard and makes it look busier, but not necessarily more powerful. My preferred design would look more efficient, fast, and sleek. Also, Mega Turtonator is perfect :D

[@christiancinnabars1402]

The main issue I have with changing Flygon's typing is that Dragon/Ground are both much better typings than Bug, and both of those types are also represented more in its design and lore. For Vibrava, I get changing it into a Bug type, and even for Trapinch I'm surprised it's a mono-Ground type instead of Bug/Ground. But Flygon clearly has a more draconic base design, and living within desert sandstorms is a huge part of its lore; it even whips up sandstorms itself, being the most likely cause for the never ending sandstorm on Route 111's desert in the Hoenn games. So rather than Tinted Lens, even though it literally has tinted lens, I think it should stay as a Dragon/Ground but then gain a signature ability that boosts the damage of Bug-type moves when it Mega Evolves; giving it effectively three types without the defensive drawbacks of actually becoming a Bug type + losing either its Dragon or Ground typing. Megas love being given signature abilities anyways. In fact, F it, I'm gonna put in some alternate potential stats for the Mega designs in the video: *Mega Turtonator* _Fun fact: Turtonator's belly is apparantly its weakpoint, so apart from being a compelling design on its own, this Mega design also works to be a logical evolution of the base mon; protecting its belly by becoming heavier and covering it with the ground._ Type: Fire/Dragon Ability: Weak Armor Stats - HP: 60 ATK: 78 DEF: 200 SP.A: 101 SP.D: 100 SPD: 46 BST: 585 A huge boost to its Defense and small boosts to its Special Attack and Special Defense allow it to do what it already did, but better: eat hits and retaliate with a strong attack. But the boost to its Speed plus Weak Armor also is pretty important, if not _the_ most important change; having 252 Speed EVs with a neutral nature allows it to outspeed Jolly Iron Boulder by _one point_ after a single Weak Armor proc. Weak Armor also allows it to run the strat of: Queue up Shell Smash for the turn, get hit by an attack that activates Weak Armor, use Shell Smash _after it is already hit_ due to its lower Speed, and now you have +4 Speed and +2 offenses without taking a single bit of extra damage from the defense drops from both Weak Armor and Shell Smash. And to do a bit of cheating, even though this is supposed to only be applying stats to the Mega designs, I'm also going to buff Turtonator's signature move: Shell Trap. Because as it is now, it is _beyond_ terrible. Have it activate against both physical and special attacks - Turtonator has enough trouble against special attackers as is - but also have it raise Turtonator's Defense by 1 stage whenever it is used. This makes it so the move is still slightly geared towards beating physical attackers while not being an empty moveslot vs half of the damn metagame. This also synergizes with Mega Turtonator's ability: reverting the Defense drop caused when it is hit by a physical attack. I'd even say to still buff it up to 200 base power from the current 150 base power despite all that, just to really offset the opponent _needing_ to hit you to activate it at all. So you can have both Shell Smash sweeper sets _and_ tanky Shell Trap sets. Add in some form of recovery, and you're golden. Or maybe Rest + Sleep Talk + Shell Trap + Body Press goes crazy. Who knows. *Mega Flygon* Type: Dragon/Ground Ability: _Desert Darner_ - Boosts the power of Bug type moves by 50%, and raises Attack, Sp. Atk, and Speed by 20% in a sandstorm. _The ability seems crazy, but remember that three abilities-in-one have already become a thing by Gen 7 thanks to Water Bubble. Then by Gen 9, you have abilities like Purifying Salt, Good As Gold, and Mind's Eye popping up left and right. Being reliant on Sand could even be a death sentence for Mega Flygon, but that depends entirely on the meta, so no qualms here. Just be glad Sand Veil wasn't thrown in there for good measure._ _And yes, I do know that Darners are exclusively dragonflies, not antlions. But Heracross becomes a freaking hercules beetle, so exact taxonomy isn't really a priority in Pokemon, especially when it comes to Mega Evolution._ Stats - HP: 80 ATK: 120 DEF: 110 SP.A: 110 SP.D: 80 SPD: 120 BST: 620 _Smaller boosts across the board, but base 120 Attack Earthquakes are still nothing to sneeze at. 80/110 physical defenses are also pretty solid. But the biggest factor is, again, the Speed increase. Base 120 Speed in combination with the ability allows it to outspeed even speedsters like Mega Aerodactyl while in Sand. This allows you to either chip the opposing team down with pseudo-STAB U-turns, or use the offensive pressure it has to force switches and set up some Dragon Dances. Or you can even eat up some hits thanks to its increased physical bulk to force out some Dragon Dances and sweep from there. The Special Attack increase is just there if they ever want to give Flygon access to Quiver Dance._

[@r.j.tammaro8383]

Im gonna go out on a limb here and say giving Flygon a bug type would be the worst possible decision. It carves its neiche by being a rock resist with levitate meaning it doesn’t care about any hazards. Along with great stabs and well rounded stats it’s good in whatever tier it ends up in whether OU, NU or otherwise. It’s a well balanced Mon it just needs some stat boosts. Giving it bug type loses ground stab AND makes it weak to rocks like why just make a new bug dragon please leave my boy alone

[@mbcmechachu]

As cool as the design looks I think I might be that rare breed of people who doesn't want a bug/dragon Mega Flygon. First of all it could still be based on a bug without being that type as it allows for creativity to be in place, by that logic Pokémon like Pincurchin & Inkay should've been part water type due to them being based on aquatic creatures. Secondly the Pokédex entries for Flygon constantly mention how it has the ability to create sandstorms. Why people want to give it a type that is actively hindered by sandstorms is beyond me.

[@oven723]
