PART 2 IS OUT -With Harry Gold, PointyHat, n0rtist and technically a few more artists you might know ;) - ua-cam.com/video/8_ryc98WlAI/v-deo.htmlsi=NBb_wRKNmNP5LuSP
Enlightenfent is probably the most brilliantly executed Fakemon I've ever seen. It just gets better and more layered the more you look at it, somehow without being overdesigned or overly complex.
@@nikolakarapejevski Yea, and have the other two be conditional alternate evolutions that skip the middle stage and go straight to fully evolved base stats.

Your are so amazing, its such an original evolution and it feel totally natural. Where can I follow your work, cause Ive seen you dont use your account?
@@superpikachusam1839 I usually lean more towards fantasy with my designs since that’s what my Zelda x Pokémon project is all about so cryptids are also fun to do 😄
I love the idea of Ronk having multiple evolutions based on how you raise it, and I think Stongre and Awakiln could actually be two sides of the same coin, Stongre evolving with higher physical attack and negative Friendship values while Awakiln would evolve with higher physical attack and high friendship. Meanwhile Enlitenfent and Knohm could evolve with high physical and special defense respectively
I like this better than my original idea. High Attack with Hate = Stongre High Attack with Love = Awakiln High Sp.Atk with Hate = Knohm High Sp.Atk with Love = Bouldai Neither Love nor Hate = Enlitenfent (The description they gave would need to be changed for Knohm, but it literally destroys its own body to evolve which could say something). (Edit) My post is basically just a spectrum from 0-255 Friendship. Lol
In my mind I think of Bouldai being the second stage while Enlightenfent, Stongre, Knohm and Awakiln could be split third stages, Stongre representing body (high Attack), Enlightenfent the mind (high Defense), Awakiln the soul (high Sp.Atk), and Knohm being the True Nirvana, the balance of them, the hardest to achieve and most powerful (with Atk, Sp.Atk, Def and Sp.Def all equal).
I absolutely love gnawtacroc's line, also being 'not a croc' and reminding me of the evolution of whales slowly going back into the sea is a really nice touch :D
This was a great twist on the 4 Artists Fakemon series, and it was nice to see other artists interpretation on one Pokemon, and to see on which path do they take the Pokemon. Haven't begun the video yet, but I know it's gonna be a certified true green banger, just like every video in the playlist.
the elephant guy and awakiln are awesome. Particularly I love how awakiln is made of shapes that you just don't see being used in pokemon designs. It's got holes! And it is in the avatar state! Please continue this series the collaboration is awesome!
Everyone did such a good job on these, but I got a couple of highlights: Orcrunch is. So beautiful. I'm in love with this thing, damn. Like... No words, no notes, nothing. My new favorite thing right there. Ronk is such a cute little guy, damn. And Enlitenfent is so cool! Knohm kinda looks like it has a moustache (and then Ron mentions it in the video, oops). Awakiln's face reminds me of dunsparce... But by god, I love the concept of this thing. And Bouldai is so darn cute, too. Both in design and concept, I love it!
I'd love to see more of this twist on the four artists design fakemon, maybe someone else that is on the group could create the base form to try and create from that? I would love to see something created by Bonny or Bilsu and what you and the others come up with.
Great designs! My favorite of the batch has to be the Orcrunch line. Everything about it flows so well with the base form. Also shout out to double Vampeer
What fun! I made a musk deer/vampire deer Pokemon a while back! It is surprising, that not one, but TWO different artists knew enough about the actual animal enough to make them into fakemon for this video! ❤️ The different takes on them too are wonderful! 🥰 Lovely as always seeing how you bring the community together Ron!
As soon as i saw Hyoneer i couldn't think of anything but hyena. The spots, the head placement, the personality. A cheeky hyena pokemon would be an amazing evolution.
I really love Vergo's evolutions because when I saw the fakemon and the ability I really thought about the blue whales ancestor the Pakicetus Edit: YOOO WAS PRETTY CORRECT
I though the jewel slits on Enlitenfent’s face were the eyes, and the slits above were eyebrows, but now I also see the thin line eyes and a jewel smile
I love how Bonny always makes sick presentations before showing his fakemon, I get so hyped and I appreciate his commitment to this series Everyone did a wonderful work!
29:10 🤩💖 I love the design for Awakiln because it actually looks reminiscent of Koloktos from LoZ: Skyward Sword It's so cool, I'd definitely have it in my party.
This was a fun idea for a video. I hope that you do this again in the future. I liked both takes on Vampeer and Phantler. I loved Vergo's Gnawtacroc and Orcrunch. The moment I saw Orcrunch, I thought to myself, "I NEED IT!" the same way Spongebob needed water in that episode where he first went to Sandy's place. While I enjoyed the Ronk portion of the video, my only critique with Ronk and Bouldai was that it didn't register with me that they were meant to be pig-inspired until you stated it. I thought that they were humanoid.
competitive player here, Awakiln would be very good in OU depending on its moveset. Physical draining kisses, future sights, earth powers, power gems, and more would be insane in the meta, and that special defense is a godsend. I can see an assault vest set or a bulk up + shore up set
I'd love to see this type of ability for a Pokemon, something like this: Solid Spirit: "Physical Attacks used by this Pokemon are treated as Special Attacks." Shifting Soul: "Special Attacks used by this Pokemon are treated as Physical Attacks."
@@SoloWing88that's a rat but Gumshoos and Yungoose I'm pretty sure is a groundhog Edit: I misunderstood what you said but yeah you're right Rattata literally is just a rat 🐀
@@AztecCroc It already has fairly ok (special)attack stats. Boost that up and it's not only tanky but hits fairly hard! It's really good tbh. It gives you the option to use it offensively if you want to without it being practically made of glass, or to use it as a decent wall; good versatility is impressive
The way Vergo does the Dex pages is so cool looking. Honestly i wish this was how they were in the actual game. Like the dex could actively show the pokemons environment in the dex itself
Matter Mind I see being one of those "the impact it has is the one with the most beneficial to the user effect" type abilities. IE whether the attack is Psychical or Special depends on the stats of the target.
Like how Shell Arm Smash can be either physical or special, in this case Matter Mind could make all moves run on your highest offensive stat relative to the individual combat.
Just found this channel cause I saw clearly mouse deer inspired mon. They are a recent infatuation of mine, partially cause I grew up with some folk tales about them, so it's always nice seeing them be 'discovered' by others. The lesser mouse-deer have the name 'Tragulus Kancil' after said folktales. Malacca's coat of arms which has 2 Mice deer due to the founder's dog losing to a mouse deer in which he responded "If even the mouse-deer are formidable then this place must be rich (in resources)" and I imagine it's just a level 1 dog vs a level 10 mouse deer. Afaik, only the African chevrotain (Water chevrotain) has the ability to hide away under water when fleeing predators. The SEAsian varieties (which are called mouse-deer instead of chevrotain) might but information is sparse to come by especially when sightings are quite rare nowadays. Last thing, sometime I get deer mice instead of mouse-deer when tryna find stuff, and 'Mouse deer aren't deer but deer mice are mice' was something that's just enjoyable to say to people when I bring them up.
Vergo not mentioning how she's referencing ancient whale evolution is nuts 😂 She once again referenced ancient animals where Ron's design is Pakicetus, the middle stage is let's say Peregocetus and then her final stage design is modern dolphins. It's really cool! Super subtle if you don't know anything about ancient whales but I love it! OH NO WONDER SHE DIDN'T MENTION IT YOU DID IT TOO!!! AHHH this is definitely my favorite fakemon you've done ugh I love ancient animals
This has given me an idea that could be fun. A fakemon evolution relay. Basically you all design a three stage evolution, but with every stage it is passed to the next artist just like this and allow them to interpret the previous artist's ideas
Hyoneer was a really good Pokemon to pick for an evolution challenge like this one. Double Vampeer was cool. both going different ways about it, i do prefer the cuter one tho. Gnawtacroc and Orcrunch are fantastic and made me think about a trio of Normal starters that get the second elements mid stage. Phantler looks magical. Dupliceteus would make a cool ride Pokemon. Ronk's evolution all went hard, but i still prefer the simpler Bouldai, i'd see it facing off against Grumpig and make Grumpig Psychic/Dark.
Loved this idea! My favorite of the video was probably Gnawtacroc, I just loved the energy and pose. Knohm was a close second! Great job to everyone though :)
I can easily see Ronk evolving into any and all of these potential evolutions based on the Friendship Mechanic: - 0-50 (Malevolent) = Evolves into Stongre (The hatred that it harbors for its trainer has corrupted it, turning it into a Malevolent Monster. Trainers that own Stongre are rarely trusted due to the circumstances that lead to its evolution. Stongre are known to attack their trainers unexpectedly, so it is advised to exercise caution while training this Pokemon.) - 51-101 (Anxious) = Evolves into Awakiln (The anxiety that this Pokemon feels can be seen through it's constantly shifting sand body. Whether the consciousness of this Pokemon resides in the inner core's body or the outer shell remains a mystery. Despite it's anxiety, Awakiln are proud of who they were and how far they have come.) - 52-152 (Neutral) = Enlitenfent (This Pokemon is in a constant state of tranquility and neutrality, many which consider to be a state of enlightenment. Enlitenfent is a solid mass of psychic energy in a rock casing made hard by its mental fortitude. It focuses its psychic energy through it's trunk, he only part of its body capable of movement.) - 153-203 (Benevolent) = Bouldai (This Pokemon is constantly trying to help others and do good deeds because of its benevolent nature. Its upbringing has caused its kindness to grow exponentially. It never acquires possessions or attachments, and loves bringing joy to children. It will occasionally gift random strangers with precious stones.) - 204-255 (Narvana) = Knohm (This Pokemon has reached a state of Narvana, separating its spirit from its physical form. Eternally calm and knowledgeable, Knohm are often sought for guidance. It uses the Gem on its head and the remains of its stone body to channel spiritual energy. While pacifist in nature, it will not hesitate to defend itself or others.) Also, I feel like your description on Bouldai... it should have abilities focused on throwing away or being unable to use items. Kluts and Unburden would be interesting to see, especially on a 65 speed Pokemon (effectively becoming a 130 speed Pokemon, yikes). (Edit) Arguably Bouldai and Knohm can be swapped
All of these are brilliant. The artists did a great job. I was so happy to see a couple of my favorites here! Knohm is a wonderfully executed concept. I love out-of-the-box ideas like that. I just wanted to show him a little bit of love in the comment section. 🖤
my favourite of any of the series' that ron does is when he brings other artists in like this! no matter what everyone comes up with, it's always so incredible to see everyone's amazing ideas!
This was so educational truthfully! I never knew that that the Thicc Buddha (Budai) was a bodhisattva I thought he was like the "White Jesus" of Chinese Buddhist. Like I new the "Happy fat person" metaphor but i didn't know they were different entities! I'm definitely subscribing!
These videos always have such great vibes. With so much negativity and competitiveness in the world, it's so heart warming to watch these talented people get together for the purpose of not only sharing their art but also uplifting each other. I love content like this, big thanks to everyone involved!
I feel like Knohm or Awakiln could be a new way to incorporate a mythical. We’ve had legendary or mythical evos before but taking a Pokémon anyone can get (Ronk) and having him go through some sort of special training or ritual or special item in a special spot, becomes a mythical pokemon
Oh now this is a fascinating idea. Taking something you designed and saying hey design an evo for this could really give you ideas for future mons. Plus everybody has such unique ideas it also shows how different people are when it comes to their own design concepts
Another banger concept coming from Ron with an absolute masterpiece of a video to go alongside it. I love when you bring in other artists for these kinds of videos.
Seeing other takes on the evolution for Ronk made me happy because I always want to learn a bit more on buddism and how it's incorperated into Pokemon.
Hyoneer had me thinking about Muntjac and their similar sharp teeth. You could make a cool normal/poison type Pokemon with Muntjacs as a base with their weird scent glands.
Absolutely crazy episode! 5 artists with similar inspiration but such different ideas, really awesome! Cool to see Ronk back, I loved the original your walk pokemon series.
Damn ! I'm sorry to breathe the same air as such talented artist as you all guys, your drawings are sooo beautiful and original ! Can't wait to see more of this concept 🔥🔥

I’m getting my bbq sauce ready your design chefs kiss
Vergo’s callback to the way orcas actually evolved is wild
I guess Ron did it too

I like this better than my original idea.
High Attack with Hate = Stongre

High Sp.Atk with Hate = Knohm
High Sp.Atk with Love = Bouldai
Neither Love nor Hate = Enlitenfent
(The description they gave would need to be changed for Knohm, but it literally destroys its own body to evolve which could say something).
(Edit) My post is basically just a spectrum from 0-255 Friendship. Lol
I think Ron's version could fit well as Rock/Fairy type instead to differentiate all five evolutions being hypothetically alongside each other.
In my mind I think of Bouldai being the second stage while Enlightenfent, Stongre, Knohm and Awakiln could be split third stages, Stongre representing body (high Attack), Enlightenfent the mind (high Defense), Awakiln the soul (high Sp.Atk), and Knohm being the True Nirvana, the balance of them, the hardest to achieve and most powerful (with Atk, Sp.Atk, Def and Sp.Def all equal).
The first thing that popped in my head when I saw the name ronk, was emperor’s new groove “Pull the lever Ronk! Wrong lever!!!”
The Orcrunch line omg I’m obsessed, I love how she combines like evolution nerdiness with Pokémon. Literally my hyperfixation+special interest.
Thank you so much for having me back! I loved this challenge and had a lot of fun making my fakemon. I look forward to more videos in this series!
Great work on the fakemons
Excellent work as always!
Holle
the double vampeer is suprising :v
DAMN Vergo cooked hard on this one, Awakiln goes unbelievably insane.
As an Indian person, I approve of Enlitenfent. Very cool design, I think it portrayed it's inspirations beautifully.

I always love Vergo’s approach to character creation. This was a really fun variation on the 4 Artists series.
After how much they've worked together, the idea of Vergo reaching directly into Ron's brain to pull out his ideas sounds completely believable.
Ronk and Bouldai would be such a great counterpart to Drowzee/Hypno, Spoink/Grumpig, and the Musharna line
Enlitenfent is such a believable evolution

Also, I feel like your description on Bouldai... it should have abilities focused on throwing away or being unable to use items. Kluts and Unburden would be interesting to see, especially on a 65 speed Pokemon (effectively becoming a 130 speed Pokemon, yikes).
(Edit) Arguably Bouldai and Knohm can be swapped
this was an amazing video, would love to see a similar one again
All of these are brilliant. The artists did a great job. I was so happy to see a couple of my favorites here!
Knohm is a wonderfully executed concept. I love out-of-the-box ideas like that. I just wanted to show him a little bit of love in the comment section. 🖤
my favourite of any of the series' that ron does is when he brings other artists in like this! no matter what everyone comes up with, it's always so incredible to see everyone's amazing ideas!
This was so educational truthfully! I never knew that that the Thicc Buddha (Budai) was a bodhisattva I thought he was like the "White Jesus" of Chinese Buddhist. Like I new the "Happy fat person" metaphor but i didn't know they were different entities! I'm definitely subscribing!

That… has to be one of the best Fakemon names I’ve heard in quite some time!
These videos always have such great vibes. With so much negativity and competitiveness in the world, it's so heart warming to watch these talented people get together for the purpose of not only sharing their art but also uplifting each other.
I love content like this, big thanks to everyone involved!
Of course I want to see more of this, though I would love it if the concept was expanded to using fan-submitted concepts as the bases.
nintendo needs to hire y’all fr id love to see these kind of well thought out designs in the games :))
Enlitenfent would be on my team in a heartbeat
Can we have GinjaNinja, DedBedSpread, Cuppaphee, and Moxie here for part two?

"It loves the art of fighting."
Ok, so it's the opposite of Dan Hibiki, then... 🤔🧐
Loved this concept, definitely want more collaborations of this type in future.
The thumbnail is absolutely beautiful. Great vid Ron!
I could definitely see Bouldai being the counter to Grumpig
Awakiln is easily the best fakemon I've ever seen. I love the concept, colours and design in every possible way.
I feel like Knohm or Awakiln could be a new way to incorporate a mythical. We’ve had legendary or mythical evos before but taking a Pokémon anyone can get (Ronk) and having him go through some sort of special training or ritual or special item in a special spot, becomes a mythical pokemon
I think all of Ronk's evolutions would make a great split evo like the Hitmons. They're all so different yet so plausible to the original!!
Oh now this is a fascinating idea. Taking something you designed and saying hey design an evo for this could really give you ideas for future mons. Plus everybody has such unique ideas it also shows how different people are when it comes to their own design concepts
Another banger concept coming from Ron with an absolute masterpiece of a video to go alongside it. I love when you bring in other artists for these kinds of videos.
Seeing other takes on the evolution for Ronk made me happy because I always want to learn a bit more on buddism and how it's incorperated into Pokemon.
Hyoneer had me thinking about Muntjac and their similar sharp teeth. You could make a cool normal/poison type Pokemon with Muntjacs as a base with their weird scent glands.
Bisuart's look like a herd that xernias could rule
Absolutely crazy episode! 5 artists with similar inspiration but such different ideas, really awesome! Cool to see Ronk back, I loved the original your walk pokemon series.
I'm a Creationist, but Duplicetus was a really cool concept and execution
Amazing video Ron! Def would love more like this.
Omg I need Orcrunch
they all did amazing but vergo killed it. loved the dex page and the designs. as a water type stan im amazed
All 5 Ronk evolutions are incredible! The first 2 in particular are probably 2 of my 5 favorites on this channel period
Bro a mega-evolved Orcrunch would be awesome
It already looks like a mega
Damn ! I'm sorry to breathe the same air as such talented artist as you all guys, your drawings are sooo beautiful and original !
Can't wait to see more of this concept 🔥🔥
I love the fact that you're exploring actual Evolution with the evolutions of the first Pokemon.
I want a Knohm shirt/tattoo.
This was a great format idea! I loved seeing the different directions one idea could go. You should definitely do this again!
YES! I've been waiting for this! I'm in One of Libris's Patreon Backers and he asked for our opinions with this one! :3
