- in this video, i test my PvZ2 knowledge and game design know-how to redesign my least favorite plants from Plants vs. Zombies 2 and Plants vs. Zombies 2 China.
the art for this video alone took over half of the video creation process, i hope this one was worth the weeks of hyping up 😅 excited to continue progress on my next video…
finally, i’d like to give one last bih thank you to PocketPainter for helping me with the coloring and rendering in this video :)

Can you do rafflesia next?

Turning Bambrook into a silly looking practice dummy was such a genius change
love this comment, i just wanted to make a silly little guy
@@purplecubereal That's the only memorable part of bambrook
Will you make a deaf animation for Bamboo dummy? @@theoriginalalex
Kinda like PVZ1 Pumpkin. I like.
@@theoriginalalexBRO NEW MAGICAL ISLAND OUT CHECK IT OUT
I was kind of hoping Tomb Tangler would be redesigned into Blockbuster from PVZ Heroes, but the new design is funny lol
that’s honestly fair, Blockbuster is pretty cool
honestly I like how the pomegunate looked originally, I think it looks funny to have such a deranged and grotesque expression on a plant to stand out in the normally sort of cute and scrappy type designs the usual plants are
other than that this is some really smart designing and balance and probably a lot more than what the plants in question actually deserve
i can respect this opinion! i think og Pomegunate grew on me a bit too, but i just had to try my hand at desigining them
He looks like Trollface, darn it! That's always a good thing!
I agree with the pomeguanate design being good, the expression fits his very sleazy personality. Something I do love about the original Plants vs Zombies designs is that the plants could be so expressive. Pomeguanate's deranged expression like he is waiting for something to kill fits with the original plant designs
he looks like barney gumble and I love that for him
Honestly SUCH a great video. Game Designer here and it really is heartwarming to see all of the effort you put in. Glad I stuck with your channel!
aye!! thank you very much :)
I cant express how much I love your bambrook redesign taking such a nothing plant and making them so silly and inspired
thank you!!!
As a Bambrook fan, seeing my favorite plant become something entirely new is so infuriating grr >:(
...Is what one would say if Bambrook fans existed.
Bambrook Con
Max Capacity: 3
@@theoriginalalexI would like to go to this supposed “Bambrook Con”. As if one would even exist of course
@@AlIRounderthat's how they get the 3 people in there
Not a fan of Bambrook, but I like his official design more.
I am that one bambrook fan
no one has been talking about the Burdock Batter redesign
It's so CREATIVE.
Yeah, he isn't just for making peashooter stronger
He is also about THE MINTS, YEAH THE MINTS, LETS GO MINTS, MINTS FOR THE WIN
I know! I love his costume too!
i LOVEEE that you used the rhythm heaven baseball level song for burda batta's remake showcase
This was definitely that “different” video you teased in your Q&A and wow was this interesting. I really like how with Sundew and Burdock you focused on making them more balanced rather than trying to outdo what they originally were. Definitely shows how creative you went with these redesigns. This last part is starting to get old now but hey it’s true, nice job once again Alex. And your friend too!
thank you very much! you’re right about this one being that video i teased in the Q&A, although there’s another one i had in mind. this video took a lot of work though, so maybe i’ll get to that second one in the later future…
Interesting redesigns! I really like Pomegunner's new design and how you made Sundew Tangler a bit more distinct from Bramble Bush.
thank you!!
I think a huge problem with modern pvz2 international plants is that their sprites get stretched so much to the point they become extremely pixilated. It's especially obvious with sundew tangler and it looks horrendous. Either way, I really like your plant redesigns. I wouldn't mind seeing some more in the future!
that’s true, finding a high quality Sundew sprite definitely requires some search
If they wanted stretching they should've made it a vector so it's not obvious
This video is so well made, usually no one cares about level ups and costumes, but you did and that shows how much thought went into this video, good job
Ea/pop cap should add a bird plant. Idc if it’s called Plants vs Zombies. Air attacker would be cool tbh (this is a joke)
I would kill for a bird seed plant
Bird up
There is on in the Chinese version, but it’s more of a jet
The Bird of paradise exists in PvZH
There is a kind of berry called a goose berry sooo
More of this please! The PVZ2 Community lacks in the redesign content despite having lots of terribly designed plants. Breath of fresh air!
For the bamboo dummy (on its plant food) I thinks it should spin around so fast is makes a tornado to push zombies back!
ooh, that’s a good one
i love the little rhythm heaven refence in the burdock batter part
I love these redesigns so much! Also the schematics are so much more creative instead of just getting ganeplay footage! Good job 🎉!
really glad all that work paid off :,)
Your redesigns are really fun! Only complaint might be about the visual designs of Chinese plants... I don't think I'm the only one who loves these sort of... ridiculous, unhinged-looking pictures, am I? Also, while his inspiration IS very cool, the fact that Bamboo Dummy doesn't do backflips in his plantfood instantly makes him inferior to Bambrook, no questions asked
I agree with the Chinese crazy designs
I absolutely love the Bambrook redesign! You should do more!
thank you!!
HOMIE!! Get on popcaps design team.
These are actually adorable 😯
DUUUUUDE YOU USING PLUM AND LEEK COOKIE'S TRIAL THEME FOR BAMBROOK SECTION IS SO FITTING
That sundew tangler costume is such a great idea! By the way, this is my first video of yours I have watched. It is very well made, edited, and commentated. And the redesigns are lovley.
i’m glad you enjoyed this video! hope you get to see my next one :)
Bambrook is one of the few plants I know that has a death animation either when digging up or getting eaten by a zombie
oh yeeeah
Guess they felt bad for it
I just LOVE the absolute jump in quality these past vids😍
happy that you noticed!
the only redesign I didn’t really get was the one for tomb tangler, idk something about him just can’t be remade, also the mouth just doesn’t look right without the rock teeth. I mean for a modern arena plant it’s actually somewhat faithful to the pvz2 art style lmao, W vid tho
they were definitely the hardest one to redesign.
i think my biggest problem with the original is how much it sticks out from every other plant in the game (although, that’s very subjective) and tackle how overdesigned it is for the role i redesigned it to have (which is a defensive staller that tangles graves). however, i wanted to incorporate aspects of its original design as there were very intentional decisions to it, but make it more plant-like.
i also thought it’d be fun to reveal its “mouth” and “arms” for when its actually doing something, adding some allure to this already weird, unsettling plant.
just wanted to share what i was thinking when redesigning it :) i’m still glad that you enjoyed the vid!
@@theoriginalalexMaybe thorn teeth with a darker brown color could've worked? And they'd only sprout when it used it's mouth? It's just such a weird plant design honestly
Your design look so good and I think they are way better in your redesign, especially Bambrooks. And thanks a lot for the video, it did make for great content! :D
this was a really fun watch! definitely would love to see more of these!
The sundew tangler redesign is EXCELLENT. I really did not like their original look but yours is spot on!
THANKS!!
@@theoriginalalex But why is it pogging?
If youbever do a sequel to this (I hope you do, this vid is great), here's some ideas for plants to redesign:
Scaredy-shroom (obviously)
Lotus root (goofy face and weird design)
Seaflora (looks drunk)
And some honorable mentions:
Oak Archer (purely so that you can rename it to Balistoak)
Teleportato (wth is this spongebob close-up lookin ahh design?)
Noctarine (grossest plant ever)
Blastberry, pyro, and gloom vines (weird)
PLEASE OH PLEASE CONTINUE THIS SERIES! its so good!!!!
Yo I found you on the PVZ plush vid and I randomly stumbled on this one 1 month later. Your vids are incredible and so special compared to boring lets play vid like Zackscottgames does. Anyway incredible vid
thank you! honestly though, i respect the dedication to making over a thousand PvZ2 videos, could never be me
quite a good concept for a video series, and most if not all gamplay, and design changes are good ways to improve on the plants.
with the exception that i must say, i honestly prefer the original tomb tangler design.
that’s fair, thanks for the feedback!
The Rhythm Heaven music in Burda Batta is so good
Oh my god i love this???
If this became a series I'd hands down binge every of them
I love the redesigns you did! Not only in art but also in gameplay design. You really are creative and the potential you have is big. Im looking forward of more of the things you can make! :D
(ALSO W MUSIC CHOICES)
thank you so much!!!
All of these concepts are great, I especially enjoyed the whole redesign to bambrook since chard guard is one of my favorite plants to use. I only have two suggestions, the first would be to keep sundew tanggler at a very low damage rather than no damage, like 15 every half second, so it can ever so slightly help defeat the zombie it has ensnared and generate small ammounts of sun with the sunbean effect. Also less of a suggestion but the tomb tangler remodel feels a little off to me, and i think thats because it normally has a trapezoid like shape while yours is more rectangular, so if you were to widen its base a bit your design would be perfect in my eyes
i appreciate the feedback!
the other reason i didn’t get sundew the ability to do damage is to avoid the (hypothetical) situation of a player thinking sundew sucks because it barely deals damage and produces less than 50 sun a zombie, whereas if they dealt no damage, player would read that attacking zombies produces sun and not attacking zombies doesn’t produce sun easier
as for Tomb Tangler, i can list a bunch of reasons for why i settled on its design. the rectangular design was to make it closer to Grave Buster, tie it closer to a tree in design, and make it look like it would “fit” over a grave (as in, i thought og Tomb Tangler didn’t look like it was meant to be planted over graves at all)
@theoriginalalex that actually makes sense for sundew, I'd say it also keeps it more balanced in comparison to sun bean so it doesn't completely overshadow it (although most seedium plants do that anyway). Also I figured out my actual reason for finding tomb tangler odd, I wasn't watching the video very closely and I don't have the best eye sight so I thought it had pitch black eyes and was staring right at the screen and into my soul lol, after taking a closer look I saw it was looking towards the zombies and I like it alot more that way!
Over all great video! I loved your "PvZ 2 with PvZ 1 plants" series, and this was just as good, I can't wait to see what's next!
Let’s be honest we all were expecting scaredy shroom to be in this
absolutely love your art and the choice of music
i never knew that i wanted to see pvz plants that i've never seen before get redesigned to not be stinky
I'd love to see more of these videos. This was super entertaining.
"shrimp alfreato AUHHHHHHHHHHHHH" got me rolling💀💀💀💀💀💀
Being obsessed with designs, it was so nice to see all of these and their fun little abilities! The concept for all of these are honestly so good
thank you! :)
I gotta say this is your best video the effort you put in these is at the top of quality so far my favorite video of the year!
dang, i’ll have to see if i top that considering the year just started
this art is amazing
worth waiting like 17 decades
(or what felt like 17 decades)
I need this to be a series. This is stuff I do, but you do it so much better. Keep it up man
thank you! also we’ve all got our ideas, no need undermine what you can come up with
I really love your ideas, designs, and little example segments! As a cookie run fan, it was also a pleasant surprise hearing some bg music from Ovenbreak!
Can’t wait to see more!!!
This gives me an idea
I have made a few zombie ideas and let’s see how you design those
1. A zombie which is like a fisherman zombie on land that can break its hook with enough damage
2. An anti-blast zombie that can withstand almost every instant but gets double the damage from normal attacks (x2 damage from a pea, and 0 damage from cherry bombs for example)
3. A zombie that can use magic to make new zombies (depending on the world)
4. A zombie that can switch lanes if a projectile almost hits them, the way to kill them are instant plants or plants to chill or freeze the zombies, disabling the ability temporarily
5. A zombie that takes up 3 lanes but has a very, VERY high amount of health.
6. A zombie with a larger range to eat and when dies gives a special effect to the 3x3 zombies in area
Hopefully you see this Alex i spent a while making these
Hey, love your videos man, I think your plant redesigns look great
thank you!!
Bro this video is SO well made and you clearly put alot of hard work and dedication into it great job 😊😊😊
Nice video! I'd like to see you redesign more PVZ2 plants!
Love the use of leek cookie's trail theme for bamboo dummy
The bambrook redesign was so good! 10/10
glad you like them too!!
this should be a channel series✨
As somebody who's getting into game design themselves, this is Super fun to see! As a artist and beginner animator these mockups would be very useful as well!
Overall good job!
thanks! good luck on your game design expedition!
More of this, I love it so much. If not, it's still amazing to see a new video
I really like this concepts for a possible series (of course this can be just a single episode and I wouldn't mind anyways).
The Chinese version is notorious to give plants that are literal garbage or so op that you don't need anything else, and I feel like that the latest seed packets plants in the International version are no different so giving them a little rework sounds like a great idea! 🌿
genuinely awesome work!
I love them so much!!! You should totally try making a mod xD i really wanna see these ideas in action
Definitely do more videos like this, these concepts are fun as a casual pvz2 enjoyer
Happy 50k! You deserve it!
thank you!!
yooo this mock up art style is sick
I said “naked tree” lol. Those images now make more sense. I really like these designs. I also like how for Bambrook’s design, you based it off of the Wing Chun Dummy since it relates to him as he learned Martial Arts. That’s a really awesome detail and great reference for a design. I wonder if this redesigning of plants will become a series. Great work!
i’m glad you noticed those little details, thank you :)
Bambrook enjoyer here! Will say that i totally agree, Bambrook is a really strangely designed plant that is barely useful beyond earlygame PvZ2c and even when it is able to be used has such a small niche that there's little point to picking it over other defensive options (unless you somehow have it levelled higher than your other walls). Still, he helped me a lot in my early days of PvZ2c and I enjoy the way he animates so I'll own up to liking him and his design a fair bit; simple but kinda cool. Regardless, I'm happy with your take on the fella and love the way you designed both an alternative to Chard Guard as well as a very visually distinct bamboo-based plant. He'd fit right into PvZ2c with no problem! Excellent stuff you've made.
I really like the Pomagunner, honestly a great re-work but for some reason the smile of the original design really stands out to me because it shows the seedy interior, maybe Pomagunner's idle animation can do the seed-filled smile? Just speculation
i had an idea for his idle to be chewing the seeds in his mouth, just to remind the player that he is in fact full of seeds. however, giving him a big seedy smile is not a bad idea :)
Shrimp alfredo
I love Alfredo sauce
Chicken Alfredo.
Also, I want opinions here. What is the best type of Alfredo?
Food
🎵AAAAAAAAAA🎵
Yummy
Hearing all this rhythm heaven music in the background just makes me more and more impatient for a rhythm heaven video (Also love the exhibition match stuff with Burdock Batter)
Love the bambrook redisgn, it is like a huggable friend that i want :D
yeeah, that’s what i was going for :)
Love your channel but I’m curious if there is a chance of the monster school video being reuploaded?
i’ve thought about it, but i’m waiting to see if the removal expires in march. otherwise, i’ll keep seeing what i could do 👍
Ok possibly you could rename the video to something stupid like “how to make peashooter cake” and UA-cam’s algorithm wouldn’t recognize it
amazing vid, love this idea and the execution.
thank you :)
Dude this video is great! I love redesign videos :)
thanks!! :)
Omg I love all of these redesigns :33
Peak Rhythm Heaven Fever reference and even peaker redesigns. Had to follow Pocketpainter for that shading, too
LET’S GOOOO
Wonderful vid, Alex. You're probably the only guy who managed to get me to watch redesign videos.
Also, if this becomes a series, could you mention the part where in PvZ2C plants in costumes get an extra gimmick slapped onto their plantfood?
OH I FORGOT ABOUT THAT. i had that in the script for Pomegunate, where i mentioned his costumed effect would stay the same, but i forgot to have that for the other plants. will definitely remember that if there is a next time!
If I were to tweak these redesigns, I'd definitely give Bamboo Dummy the back leaf and face of Bambrook. Those are the two things I like about the original design.
For Burda Batta, I'd make sure it looks like Batta is "looking at the audience", as it just feels right for the character. I can't tell if Batta is looking at Burda or the audience. I'd also make their plant food effect look similar to that powered up frame seen in the concept art. (21:20) I like the two seemingly seeing eye-to-eye in that situation. Both with the same look in their eyes.
ooh, this is some good feedback, thanks! and just to clear up anything about Burda Batta, they’re both “looking at the audience”. Burda (the bat, not the batter) switches between looking at Batta and the camera during their idle
greenery vs dead beings video 🗣🗣🔥🔥
not even 5 minutes in and this is some top tier animation 👌
hahaha, i’d say they’re closer to an animatic than an animation, but the compliment is taken!
I love shrubbery VS reanimated the second
First video I have seen of you. Its great! Def gonna sub
hope you stick around for more :)
I really like the redesigns! All of them look so interesting when compared to the original ones, plus, the inclusion of PvZ2C plants on PvZ2 International was superb!
I also love the detail of using Exhibition Match from Rhythm Heaven for the music playing while showcasing Burda Batta (And the fact that the swings play when they should like in the game really tickles my brain). Overall an amazing video as always!
Honestly loving the new ways they are, their altered designs are also nice as well! I wonder if the new Bambrook still has an actual death animation like the og one lmao, I still wonder why he had that
even though it’s not presented here, i’d definitely give them a death animation
I love these new designs. They look way better.
I can buy SUPER THANKS just to have you make more of these!
I'd be interested in seeing more in the future, Vamporcini is one in particular I want to see a rework of
This is like designing fakemons and I'm all for it, will you make more of these please?
The moment I saw the Bambrook redesign I knew it was based on the wing chun dummies, I really like it, keep up the good work!
ayee, thanks!
THE RHYTHM HEAVEN MUSIC ON BURDOCK BATTER omg
If this were to turn into an actual series, I’d honestly be interested to see just what you would do with certain plants, as I know some plants desperately need redesigns or reworks, for one reason or another
I'm going to be honest you made these plants look so good they actually look like they would be in plants versus zombies 2 and then just really nice to look at
I liked almost all redesigns here, and Bambrook is probably the best one, while Tomb Tangler was the weakest.
I feel like to differenciate burda-batter from torch wood, he should be able to bat non pea projectiles like guacodile, cactus spikes, snap pea heads, maybe even tumble weed ect.
Otherwise cool redesign.
Also you pretty unique with your pommegunner rework because if it was me, I would have just made Level 3 Pommegunate, the base pommegunner.
The rhythm heaven bit with burdabatta was peak
dude this video is fantastic also I love Burda Batta so much you have no idea
not to toot my own horn, but i’m very happy with how Burda Batta came out :)
Ayo burdabata looks so sad and i LOVE IT
I have actually been planning a PvZ fan game and I would love to use these designs in it!
using exhibition match as the background music for burda batta was golden
Heck. YES. New video, PVZ theme, game design topics, AND making the PVZ2/PVZ2C plants actually good!? Had a damn good feeling you'd cook, and you sure did! Edit: Also really dig the demonstration artstyle and presence in the vid in general! Really did cook, bro!
thanks dude! i wanted to experiment with this one, hope it continues to leave an impression!
I love tomb tangler's costume 😂
yooo, i’m really glad that you like it!
I really dig this idea and I'd love for it to become a series if there's more plants you can think of reworks for, I especially dig what was done with Sundew. Also, the Bambrook rework ended up being basically just White Melon Sumo Wrestler, which says a lot about how original 2C plants are, though the design is definitely better than melon.
oh damn, i don’t even remember what White Melon Sumo Wrestler does. glad Bamboo Dummy was at least interesting design wise
I NEED MORE OF THIS
awesome video! makes me want to try to animate them. as one of the 3 tomb tangler fans i don't like the tomb tangler redesign though, the new abilites are fire tho.
Pomagunnet jumping and having a seizure is cute
This was fun... I want more vid like this, Anyways I always liked ur videos, keep up the good pace...
