Can we just applause Brandon for his sheer dedication to these Fakemon videos? Not only does he come up with great design motifs, but also ties themes and lore to create a very realistic Pokémon starter trio, and does this all for a mere type-swap video
Being an Egyptian and having Feraligatr being my favorite from Johto, the convergents of the Totodile line is my absolute favorite! The others are sick as hell too
Chilean here, i LOVED the fact that the artist used the colo-colo as inspiration, since it was my favourite legend when i was a child (when we were young, we usually had to take legends for spanish class, and the mapuches legends were usually the biggest choices). Also fun fact, the person Colo-Colo also inspired the name of the biggest or one of the biggest national futbol (soccer) team in Chile with the same name and with the face of the hero as their logo.
I would love to see a dark, fighting and psychic type versions of the gen 4 starters because this was specifically the gen when people thought pokemon would change the type trio.
The only thing with that is that Dark is immune to Psychic rather than resistant, but that could be changed with a new ability. My thoughts were to have the basic fire/grass/water starters, and have them evolve opposing types, ex. Fire/Dark, Grass/Fighting, Water/Psychic with a new ability (I call it Darkvision) where psychic type attacks can hit dark types for resistant damage, as well as give a small boost to psychic damage (1.1x or something)
Let's see what abilities would they have? Megamorph- Sand Stream and Sand Rush, Hidden ability- Sap Sipper Typholoon- Drizzle and Snow Cloak, Hidden ability- Competitive Pharoligatr- Moxie and Rough Skin, Hidden ability- Defiant
A while ago I created my own rock type Chikotita line. It was part of a project where I did exactly what this series intend - to create alternate alternate universe starters with different typings and names. The difference is that my line was called Lithorita - Baylith - Meganeral and had the amethyst as its gem of inspiration. This granted the final stage a secondary Psychic type cause of the correlation of said gem with mystical properties
I also made my own Rock type starter for my own region based off the garnet and ancient golems. The members of the line are Guarnet, Ansharnet, and Guarelemm. Kind of funny how we both made Rock starters based off of the garnet that eventually get part Psychic typing (though the second stage in this case gains it).
I instantly noticed the Conquest connection. Though, it's funny the Starter Types are those that aren't their Main Type. Hideyoshi's Specialty and Perfect Link is Fire/Fighting (Infernape), but he's the Fire-Type Leader (with access to Reshiram). Ieyasu's Specialty and Perfect Link is Steel/Rock (Aggron), but he's the Steel-Type Leader (with access to Registeel). Nobunaga does have Rayquaza, but he's the Dragon-Type Leader (and his Specialty and Perfect Link is Dragon/Electric with Zekrom to match as original Legendary, and Hydreigon beforehand).
You got my attention with the Totodile in the thumbnail 👀 So glad you're continuing with this concept! Cool to see the starters with different types. Also, really liking Windaquil's 'stache.
Fun Fact, those Japanese historical figures were also present in the ‘Warriors’ Franchise; the game being Samurai Warriors: Chronicles. It’s a really fun game that I had for the 3DS, and it also provides an interesting look in the fighting of the clans of early Japan, and how the nation was formed.
I love the creativity and quality of the pokemon you create! They could also be convergent evolution pokemon, like toedscool and wiglett, instead of AU starters, but if that is the narrative that you think is better, then I respect that. I hope you have a great day :)
fun fact! ancient egyptians would basically let crocodiles hang out at sobek temples, and they would take care of them when a crocodile died, they would mummify it because it was holy
you should do the Dark-Psychic-Fighting type trio for Hoenn Fighting Sceptile Psychic Blaziken Dark Swampert And maybe for Sinnoh you could do Fairy - Steel - Fighting Fairy Infernape Steel Torterra Fighting Empoleon
Ok I love this This one was simply pure genius With the new theming, historical ties and all that~ Loved it, and all the designs are super cool too! Now I wish we'd have a separate game with these fellas in there xD Along with a handful of the other Johto/Kanto pokemon receiving some ties to irl ancient cultures. Would be super!
I Love this design. Everything makes sense and is backed up by reference. I could totally see them as a Regional form or a Convergent evolution and would pick them over the originals.
1:02 that is actually my fave gem and i have always wanted to see pokemon do that so this was exciting to see. Also i am surprised they have never done this especially with larpas' name coming from the lapis part of lapis ;azuli
I really like these designs! Would love to see the Totodile line as a regional variant for an Egypt based region, and while Cyndaquil has always been my favorite and I like the flying type, I kinda wish it had been light blue instead of gray for the darker parts of the body in the line. The body looks monochrome, and kinda off, but I'm no artist and that is just the unimportant opinion of some rando on the internet lol
If I could request something, I had an idea for a Pokémon that I’d love for you to flesh out, because I kinda suck at that, my idea is a fairy/ghost type based on bedsheet ghosts and the saying “the dead never rest”.
Your art is so good I'm out of words... Could you please share your creation process (how you color or how you contour the lines)? I would love to hear from you how do you choose your palette, which kind of texture you seek in a brush, how you blend the colors and decide where the light source come from, as well as how you come up with the poses. Could you, please?
It's always great when you collab with Elestva for your designs, you two make an amazing duo for creating fakemon! Speaking of which, does Elesteva accept commissions for Pokemon designs? I tried to contact them but they didn't reply
Hey Brandon I'm arran I'm new to your fan base I've rediscovered my love for pokemon thanks to both you and one of my good friends also I would love to see you do more of these what if starter pokemon had different types and I would love to see this as a new series on your channel
With how much we’ve lately been seeing Pokémon from separate evolution lines who are still very similar to each other (E.g. Tentacool and Toadscool), this feels like it could actually be incorporated into a real Pokémon game. They wouldn’t have to be the starters you choose from at the start of the game, but they could be a set that you can choose from later as the story progresses (something similar to the 2 Kanto starters you get to pick from in Sword and Shield’s Isle of Armour DLC). Or they could just be wild Pokémon.
Outstanding work, dude. I forgot to subscribe the last time I watched a video of yours, but I am all in after watching this one. 🎉🎉🎉 very, very well done. I'm so impressed and so excited to scroll through the rest of your work today.
The Windaquil is easily the best like out of these, though, Todonile is a close second. Regardless, you really cooked on the lore with all of them. Good job!
8:40 ngl the color scheme for Pharoligator is remarkably similar to Falinks. Red, yellow, black and white. Pharo's is just a little muted in comparison.
If I chose these starters, I got some nicknames I'd go with. Megamorph: Dwayne (the rock) Typholoon: Gaius (that guy from Trails of Cold Steel who won't shut up about the wind) Pharoligator: Sobek (the Egyptian crocodile god)
Fun fact Ishtar is Aphrodite. The cult of Aphrodite was not originally Greek, it was brought to Greece by followers of Ishtar and with time the name changed to Aphrodite.
Heres an idea, pokemon groups swap roles, example eevee as an elctrick type partner pokemon with a pre-evolution and a evolution as pichu and raichu equivalents and a pure normal type pikachu with several different branching evolutions of the various different types, the evolutions can use raichu as a base to give Pikachu the sams consistency eevee has between all their different possible evolutions
PragMagik: "Evolves into Megamorph" Me: Metalazard better name! Lazard being the the later half of Lapis's name root and that mythical creature is more lizard-like. Meta from metamorphic is fine.
When your done with swapping the types of the starter Pokémon of very region could you maybe make an animation video of what their Pokédex entries would be and if that video gets tons of like could you make another version of that video but their Pokédexes entries were literal or even maybe make them realistic like as if they were in real life please?
One suggestion is possibly a pseudo dragon combination since they seem to be the most common way to make a pseudo legendary what if there were a dragon combination of each type, so far we have Dragon/Flying with dragonite and Salamance Dragon/Ground with Flygon and Garchomp Dark/Dragon with Hydreigon Dragon/Fighting with Kommo-o pure dragon with Goodra Steel/dragon with hisuian goodra Ghost/dragon with dragapult Ice/dragon with Baxcalibur Leaving the following dragons combos remaining Dragon/Rock Dragon/Fire Dragon/Water Dragon/Electric Dragon/Normal Dragon/Fairy Dragon/Poison Dragon/Grass Dragon/Psychic Dragon/Bug And before anybody asks I only mean as pseudo legendaries I know there are Dragon types with some of the combos like Dracovolt and Eternatus but they are not pseudo legendaries. I say biggest rule for this is that they need 3 stages like the other pseudo dragons

Cool, nice Type swap for these Pokémon characters
Woah 4 days ago???? Wanst the video was 3 days ago?
“Your a wizard Harry.”
@@MonotoneReal Harry Potter
I love how you don’t force your vegans on others And the video was Awesome keep up the good work
Fun fact : Rock, Flying, Fighting makes another perfect type triangle, both offensively & defensively
The one thing I've found that doesn't work is that Fighting and Flying don't resist themselves, which may or may not matter.
@@EpicRandomness555 neither does rock, it’s only fire, water grass, electric, dark, steel, psychic, poison and ice
What about Psychic, Bug, poison?
@@dinodude8899 Poison isn’t strong against Bug.
What about the type triangle of grass,poison,and ground
Can we just applause Brandon for his sheer dedication to these Fakemon videos? Not only does he come up with great design motifs, but also ties themes and lore to create a very realistic Pokémon starter trio, and does this all for a mere type-swap video
Nothing is a mere anything to me! I try to take on every video with the same level of dedication as the last if not more!
@@PragMagikeither way, it’a crazy that you came up with such unique lore for your fakemon!
1yr later and only a reply from the creator, the commenter, and 113 likes? Lemme fix that
All of these are too perfect! Great work
Truly 3 for 3! 👏🤩

Best one yet
Damn you watch Pokémon
Being an Egyptian and having Feraligatr being my favorite from Johto, the convergents of the Totodile line is my absolute favorite! The others are sick as hell too
I feel you My only thing is instead of Cairo I probably do Thebes.

@@elenfermero5156 jaja igual
EL EQUIPO MÁS GRANDE DE TODA LA GALAXIA
Ironically, rock-flying-fighting is one of the trios that works exactly like grass-water-fire, so this actually works really well
That's not what ironically means
@@user-pp6pr5fg8wBro, facts. It’s the same deal when people say “ironically” instead of “coincidentally.”
This is kinda the opposite context of where you'd use ironically
Nope they are not self resistant - (fire resist fire)
I always get amazed by how you represent different countries's myths,history,gods and lore,etc... to pokemon. And this one was no exception!! ❤❤

He could make empoleon based on Minerva's owl from roman mythology
I like to see turtwig as fighting chimchar as psychic and piplup as dark cause piplup being a dark type is just funny to me
Let's see what abilities would they have?
Megamorph- Sand Stream and Sand Rush, Hidden ability- Sap Sipper
Typholoon- Drizzle and Snow Cloak, Hidden ability- Competitive
Pharoligatr- Moxie and Rough Skin, Hidden ability- Defiant
The fact I didn't know he's vegan means he's one of the good vegans

I love the creativity with all the Pokémon, I really like that Pharohligatr is quadraped, I can't wait for hoenn!
Huh. Today I learned you’re a single dad. Cool!
wait really. cool
Same here
Never in my life have I ever thought of a flying Cyndaquil,but as always It was AWESOME!! ❤
It's been a while since these type of videos but the designs have just been getting better!
Honestly, the names being similar makes these work well as convergent Pokemon which is still great
I can't believe how much I like these. If they were real, they would be my favorite starter trio
Fun Fact, those Japanese historical figures were also present in the ‘Warriors’ Franchise; the game being Samurai Warriors: Chronicles.
It’s a really fun game that I had for the 3DS, and it also provides an interesting look in the fighting of the clans of early Japan, and how the nation was formed.
Oh, hey, it's a certain Gator I saw early. I love all these lines, such an upgrade from the original Johto starters.
If gamefreak ever made a game with different starter type triangle, I'd buy that game in a heartbeat.
I love the creativity and quality of the pokemon you create! They could also be convergent evolution pokemon, like toedscool and wiglett, instead of AU starters, but if that is the narrative that you think is better, then I respect that. I hope you have a great day :)
fun fact! ancient egyptians would basically let crocodiles hang out at sobek temples, and they would take care of them
when a crocodile died, they would mummify it because it was holy
Omg i was so surprised and happy when you mentioned Lautaro and the mapuches!!! I am Chilean and tbh i wasn't expecting this kind of representation
you should do the Dark-Psychic-Fighting type trio for Hoenn
Fighting Sceptile
Psychic Blaziken
Dark Swampert
And maybe for Sinnoh you could do Fairy - Steel - Fighting
Fairy Infernape
Steel Torterra
Fighting Empoleon
WINDAQUIL!!! the name is so good and the design is adorable!!
Ok I love this
This one was simply pure genius
With the new theming, historical ties and all that~ Loved it, and all the designs are super cool too! Now I wish we'd have a separate game with these fellas in there xD Along with a handful of the other Johto/Kanto pokemon receiving some ties to irl ancient cultures. Would be super!
I Love this design. Everything makes sense and is backed up by reference. I could totally see them as a Regional form or a Convergent evolution and would pick them over the originals.
3:59 MEGA MORPHIN POWER RANGERS!
Megamorph is a 200% upgrade from meganium
Because he likes it better
1:02 Steven universe reference 😱😱😱
Damn, that’s an incredible reimagining. Every one of those is an absolute banger and the historical references and basis are top tier.
They all look awesome, I think I even like Megamorph more than Meganium. But I'd still choose Totonile.
These are all so interesting!! I’m excited to see what the other generations have to offer
1:02 that is actually my fave gem and i have always wanted to see pokemon do that so this was exciting to see. Also i am surprised they have never done this especially with larpas' name coming from the lapis part of lapis ;azuli
They’re all soooo perfect!! The lore, inspiration, design, everything is amazing!! Well done! I’d love for these to be real
I like how Windaquil's evolution is kind of a reverse of its name, Quilwind
I really like these designs! Would love to see the Totodile line as a regional variant for an Egypt based region, and while Cyndaquil has always been my favorite and I like the flying type, I kinda wish it had been light blue instead of gray for the darker parts of the body in the line. The body looks monochrome, and kinda off, but I'm no artist and that is just the unimportant opinion of some rando on the internet lol

Hey, just so you know he mentions the artist in the beginning and has a link to their Instagram in the description. He does this for every video. ^.^
@@ImpGoddess Thank you, I saw this so late at night didn't noticed it wasn't his art, hahahaha Thanks again xD
@@Skele_Rat no problem, it happens XD
These designs are amazing! I have always loved the chiqorita line, and those designs were just perfect for them
0:01
Pikachu (Electric) and Eevee (Normal) crying in the corner.
As a chilean person it caught me really off guard that you use mapuche inspiration :000 either way I think all designs are amazing
As a Huge Sceptile fan, I want to see a Fire type Sceptile
Damn, u really did deep researching while doing this type of vids, very good concept, great stuff!
I love how these starters are all ancient civilisation themed
THE LAYPEECE IS REAL! 🤩
🎶 Can we get much higher? 🎶
I love all of these. *What else do you want me to say? These are dope*
In my opinion,the hoenn starters are the best starter trio and, I cant wait for the next video of Hoenn starters!!
Are we not gonna talk about that the fighting type one killed shiny Magikarp and turned it into part of its armour that’s just bad ass
These are great. Cant wait for hoenn
Also, can you please make charcadet evos for every type?
Rock and dragon for its power 4:00
Flying and fairy for its wisdom 6:08
Fighting and ground for its strength 8:26
Megamorph is my favorite out of these starters. The lapis inspiration is so pretty.
It's always great when you collab with Elestva for your designs, you two make an amazing duo for creating fakemon!

PragMagik: **mentions the mythical Colo Colo**
My brain, immediately: KOLO, KOLO KOLO, KOLO KOLO TOURE.
The Windaquil is easily the best like out of these, though, Todonile is a close second. Regardless, you really cooked on the lore with all of them. Good job!
Sobek is one of my favourite gods, and crocodiles are one of my favourite animals. Well done to you for using both, Brandon.
8:40 ngl the color scheme for Pharoligator is remarkably similar to Falinks. Red, yellow, black and white. Pharo's is just a little muted in comparison.
8:40 its back kind of looks like a falinks helmet! i doubt it was intentional, but if it was its a nice detail given rome and egypt's history.
You said armor for The 3rd evolution of Totonile(I forgot the name), then it should be a steel type.
if u ever do more of these then i wonder what they would look like
Nice designs
Pharoligatr is my absolute favorite out of these three. It's design alone just screams "I will kill you if you get too close to me!"
Ok so these were extremely awesome! Can't wait for a gen 3 type swap
If I chose these starters, I got some nicknames I'd go with.
Megamorph: Dwayne (the rock)
Typholoon: Gaius (that guy from Trails of Cold Steel who won't shut up about the wind)
Pharoligator: Sobek (the Egyptian crocodile god)
I hope there will be more of these, and maybe there could be AU versions of the legendary Pokemon ?
Fun fact Ishtar is Aphrodite. The cult of Aphrodite was not originally Greek, it was brought to Greece by followers of Ishtar and with time the name changed to Aphrodite.
The Typhloshion art you made is amazing
I absolutely love this concept! I've realized Cyndaquil is my favorite starter no matter what type it is
"this isn't the cute, friendly, derpy Totodile you know and love" he is cute and I love him 😍
Love that you used a Smite splash card art for Sobek lololol
I'm in love with that version of feraligatr aesthetic. Badass
"It usually hides in the tall grass on Route 45."
Me, an intellectual: Starters can't be found in the wild in Johto
Missed it again , besides that everything looks great as always
Heres an idea, pokemon groups swap roles, example eevee as an elctrick type partner pokemon with a pre-evolution and a evolution as pichu and raichu equivalents and a pure normal type pikachu with several different branching evolutions of the various different types, the evolutions can use raichu as a base to give Pikachu the sams consistency eevee has between all their different possible evolutions
Pharolagatr's look has me wonder if there may be aspects of the Ouroboros Lizard, a desert-dwelling reptile that spikes up when attacked.
How about for the hoenn trio the combination would psychic, poison, and bug
8:35 YES CROCO BOY i knew he had to has been a source of insperation
Keep up the good work these designs blew me out of this world 👏
Another great trip! Well done 👏🏼
Super cool!
I would have picked the Cybdaquil line until the end (which was still super dope) but that new Feealigtr is TOO COOL to pass.
PragMagik: "Evolves into Megamorph"
Me: Metalazard better name! Lazard being the the later half of Lapis's name root and that mythical creature is more lizard-like. Meta from metamorphic is fine.
When your done with swapping the types of the starter Pokémon of very region could you maybe make an animation video of what their Pokédex entries would be and if that video gets tons of like could you make another version of that video but their Pokédexes entries were literal or even maybe make them realistic like as if they were in real life please?
Amazing work, so much research went into this
Cant wait for other starters
I Honestly Wished That A Starter For Every Type Because I Feel Like Not Everyone Wants To Keep Getting Water, Grass Or Fire Starters
Keep on with more starter trios😊!!! 😊Hoenn next!!!
personally those were better tan the gen 1 designs you did loved them all you did great
One suggestion is possibly a pseudo dragon combination since they seem to be the most common way to make a pseudo legendary what if there were a dragon combination of each type, so far we have
Dragon/Flying with dragonite and Salamance
Dragon/Ground with Flygon and Garchomp
Dark/Dragon with Hydreigon
Dragon/Fighting with Kommo-o
pure dragon with Goodra
Steel/dragon with hisuian goodra
Ghost/dragon with dragapult
Ice/dragon with Baxcalibur
Leaving the following dragons combos remaining
Dragon/Rock
Dragon/Fire
Dragon/Water
Dragon/Electric
Dragon/Normal
Dragon/Fairy
Dragon/Poison
Dragon/Grass
Dragon/Psychic
Dragon/Bug
And before anybody asks I only mean as pseudo legendaries I know there are Dragon types with some of the combos like Dracovolt and Eternatus but they are not pseudo legendaries.
I say biggest rule for this is that they need 3 stages like the other pseudo dragons
Another perfect type trio is Fairy, Steel, Fighting
Is it bad that the colo colo description reminds me of those rats from cloudy with a chance of meatballs
That Totodile got me more hyped than I was prepared. Omg
