I’m commenting as I watch. This is so fascinating to see your thoughts from a design pov which wasn’t my first thought when developing them. This is amazing
FINALLY A NEW REGION REVIEW. I love getting to see other creators and their creations get a spotlight and I’m super glad Brandon checks these regions out.
This is such a charming video! I kept cracking up, the energy was clearly just THERE while this was being recorded. And I always like seeing Pokétubers raising each other up, plus I'm a big fan of Bird Keeper Toby's channel, so this was sweet to see.
For someone who doesnt draw themselves, I think youre really good at seeing what design elements are successful and which ones arent. Reminds me of my art teacher.
Agreed, he has a keen eye and great articulation skills on fakemon design even as a non-artist. I’ve been designing fakemon for years and I still find useful notes here EDIT: eg the second stage fire starter’s feedback is really well explained! EDIT 2: ok they’re all well explained. Wow
I super appreciate it! I have been trying to put more of a focus on my own Fakemon over this last year but for December and Toby I decided to do this ❤️
@@PragMagik Hello! How does this sound for future? Make new pokemon for Egg-group combos not yet used. Some examples. Human-like/Mineral (maybe something based on Terracorra warrior?) Human-like/Dragon (There's literal dragon kung fu, some maybe a fighting type?) Human-like/Water 2 Monster/Water 2 Monster/Human-like Bug/Field Fairy/Dragon
I actually really liked this Region Review a lot more than the old ones. With the old reviews it was very simple and more like a reaction than a review, so I didn't really like watching them, but here you went into more depth and gave each mon the time and constructive critique it needed. This is exactly what I'd expect from a Region Review and I hope that if you do any more they're as thorough this one.
I think that middle stage starter Pokémon keep getting better and better. Paldea’s middle starters all have unique personalities and designs from the rest of the line with quacwell being a ballerina,floragato havjng a yo-yo, and crocalor with the egg and sombrero.
yay! finally it's back! 🌌 and damn, why did gululabi (27:50) deyassified upon evolving to satyrcorn (28:33)?! "gurl, she's not sissying that walk" 😭 i would give it everstone if it was real. (or i also think that maybe it's another "glameow to purugly" situation)
I am in awe, there has never been a fan made region i liked the way i like this one, this is seriously the best region i've seen, every single pokémon from this dex is perfect
My team (this isn't my original team from Solympia, it's if I had discovered Solympia in 2023) Washido (Water/Flying) Tridoom (Ghost/Fire) Togekiss (Fairy/Grass) Dozermon (Normal) Fragmite (Electric/Rock) Avalisk (Poison/Dragon)
17:43 no you were right it's vigoroth, the tempest dex there is a lot of typos like this one and another were one of the primordials having a wrong type when toby showed the dex entry.
My own personal critique is the difference in art style when it comes to Pokémon we see earlier in the Pokedex versus the ones we see later on. I don't know 😭 it's hard to explain? Some look wonky as if someone has just started designing Pokémon while others look like they came from someone who has experience making them. (the regional Togepi line looks like someone just edited the official art instead of actually drawing them 🤐 which could be why the grassy bits on Togekiss aren't really your thing) I get that this is a fan project! So you get more freedom because of that but certain designs (like Hypmothic) are too busy/over complicated. I'm really sorry if any of this seems mean! No hate towards the artists because they all did a good job. Even if I'm not a fan of some Pokémon here. 😅
Adorsem might be a lancelet, because they're all gelatinous and also have a spine (but only kind of, as it is made of more brittle material like skeletons of sharks and rays).
I'm gonna miss toby so much 🥺 Btw i just double checked and blue beetle Pokémon was made by Alex Allan I saw he made almost all of the designs, they're on his insta
Thank you birdkeeper Toby . Loved your Greek region.. I have ideas for a Greek region Greek region: Starters: water horse( hippocampus ) , fire goat( krikri), grass bear ( brown bear) And I have Pokemon to represent the Greek gods Pragmagik if you need ideas for region I'm here 👍
Since I haven't seen a comment on it, Gululabi is based on a type of goat (Damascus Goats) that have long curly ears! They are extremely cute when they are young, but when they reach adulthood they become incredible old and frazzled looking, which is likely what is referred to through the evolution.
I think I might have the same ideas as you in my Ireland based region i accidentally made 2 out of the three starter lines the same type as the final evos in the cornera region and one is also the same animal being a deer there are some more simular mons but just a funny coincidence i didn't even know about your channel when i designed them
This question may have been answered, but Keoke Keoke is based on the maned wolf. Which is neither fox or wolf but fits this perfectly. The legs are long due to it walking over the tall grasses where it lives. It is from different areas of South America!
Am i the only one thinking that a fighting type would be hella busted in this Region? So many fighting weaknesses haha. But overall very cool and creative designs. Love it.
It’s sad that BirdkeeperToby leaving but he’s got a life to live so it can’t all be about what the fans want. He hast to do what’s best for him. I watched his fakemon region. And I really liked it a lot. I really like yours a lot as well. Also, I do remember the Power Ranger movie. In fact, I’ve been a Power Ranger fan since it first aired on TV the classic Power Rangers and I’m 38 years old in 2023.
Yeah, I'm showing my age too. Those things were like suits of armor the rangers had to fight to get their powers back or whatever 90's bs they were on LOL. But to comment on the druidigoyle, it looks like a statue come to life, powered by draconic energy or something. It definitely has a slight uncanny feel to it, as uncanny as a pokemon can be I guess
Whats a good program to use to start designing my own pokemon? I assume most people use photoshop but i was hoping to find a software that isnt expensive or maybe even free. Any ideas would help I really want to get into it on my free time
Ash Team will be Pikachu Goldliath Petawattrel Xelevate Serappin Palamage Chlorodon Minotar Ace of the team Washido Dozermon Avalisk Thundra Symorgue Spook- Hoot
he kinda already did one in a way, with oricorrio of every type. i don’t know if he wants to make an “of every type” for EVERY pokémon with a type change
So I wonder what mega evolution would be like if it was more tainted by the pokemon's emotions like it's more controlled with the trainer to mega evolve but what if the mega evolution was tainted by hatred or some sort of darkness in the pokemon
I LOVE that you are being kinda critical in this video. In some of your previous ones you've been a little too scared of criticizing things too harshly.
Aw dude thank you for this :3 Means a lot
Thank YOU dude! Appreciate you so much ❤️
I’m commenting as I watch. This is so fascinating to see your thoughts from a design pov which wasn’t my first thought when developing them. This is amazing
I agree, I think Hypmothic should be Bug Psychic, I think maybe I didn’t because of possibly another Bug Psychic in the region
Yeah Druiddigoyle is totally a convergent form
Would like to see you remix and update some fothese designs like Draken
It’s really cool to see this series return! This is a great way to see Toby off
Hats off to him
FINALLY A NEW REGION REVIEW. I love getting to see other creators and their creations get a spotlight and I’m super glad Brandon checks these regions out.
“How funny would it be to imagine a frog inflated and helplessly floating”. I can imagine it cause it’s in Shrek
THATS WHY THE IMAGE WAS SO VIVID

To add to your pseudo legend talk, Gibble in Platinum is extremely worth it imo

1:05:52 it's the maned wolf, which is neither wolf nor fox haha they are very shy and smelly
On April fools you should do a " Region Review" but it's just you dissing your own region without ever mentioning it's your own region.
I don't like april fools
I think that middle stage starter Pokémon keep getting better and better. Paldea’s middle starters all have unique personalities and designs from the rest of the line with quacwell being a ballerina,floragato havjng a yo-yo, and crocalor with the egg and sombrero.

i would give it everstone if it was real. (or i also think that maybe it's another "glameow to purugly" situation)
that's a pretty accurate representation of the real gulabi goat! super cute babies and almost unbelievably ugly adults :-)
*THE RETURN OF A LEGENDARY SERIES*
Fr
I wouldn’t call it a return per se, this is a special case for Toby and for December 😊
1:06:01 - I think the long-legged creature you are referring to is the maned wolf!!
I love that Minotar is like my starter Minarden which is my final grass starter. Gonna miss Toby 😢
I am in awe, there has never been a fan made region i liked the way i like this one, this is seriously the best region i've seen, every single pokémon from this dex is perfect
My team (this isn't my original team from Solympia, it's if I had discovered Solympia in 2023)
Washido (Water/Flying)
Tridoom (Ghost/Fire)
Togekiss (Fairy/Grass)
Dozermon (Normal)
Fragmite (Electric/Rock)
Avalisk (Poison/Dragon)
These Mon designs are so unique. I’m impressed.
Chlorodon is based of a dinosaur called Iguanadon, which has that thumb-like shiv, which is super cool
17:43 no you were right it's vigoroth, the tempest dex there is a lot of typos like this one and another were one of the primordials having a wrong type when toby showed the dex entry.
He meant he thought it was vigroth
My own personal critique is the difference in art style when it comes to Pokémon we see earlier in the Pokedex versus the ones we see later on. I don't know 😭 it's hard to explain? Some look wonky as if someone has just started designing Pokémon while others look like they came from someone who has experience making them.

Really nice review Brandon 😊
Adorsem might be a lancelet, because they're all gelatinous and also have a spine (but only kind of, as it is made of more brittle material like skeletons of sharks and rays).
Regional Slaking reminds me of Skips from Regular Show
I totally forgot those rock monsters from the power rangers movie
I'm gonna miss toby so much 🥺 Btw i just double checked and blue beetle Pokémon was made by Alex Allan I saw he made almost all of the designs, they're on his insta
Thank you birdkeeper Toby . Loved your Greek region..
I have ideas for a Greek region
Greek region:
Starters: water horse( hippocampus ) , fire goat( krikri), grass bear ( brown bear)
And I have Pokemon to represent the Greek gods
Pragmagik if you need ideas for region I'm here 👍
Video ideia: what if other trainer’s ace pokemon had the bond phenomenon (like Cinthya and her garchomp, for exemple)
Now I would love to see that, especially 1 between ash and pikachu
Pragmagik, for the more Bible-accurate term for an Angel is Seraphim which is the highest rank of the Angel Heirarchy.
The breed of Wolf you were stuck on is called the Maned Wolf!
YES, I miss these
I Missed this series so much...
Since I haven't seen a comment on it, Gululabi is based on a type of goat (Damascus Goats) that have long curly ears! They are extremely cute when they are young, but when they reach adulthood they become incredible old and frazzled looking, which is likely what is referred to through the evolution.

When i first seen charcadet i was like hold up ive seen this design before and just couldnt put my finger on it...and here we have cyrocks 😂
This question may have been answered, but Keoke Keoke is based on the maned wolf. Which is neither fox or wolf but fits this perfectly. The legs are long due to it walking over the tall grasses where it lives. It is from different areas of South America!
The primordials are basically the treasures of ruin
I love how the route 1 bug keeps the Zelda themes though!!! I can def see the Gohma motif in the last evo!!
Am i the only one thinking that a fighting type would be hella busted in this Region? So many fighting weaknesses haha.
But overall very cool and creative designs. Love it.
OMG I LOVE THIS SERIES PLEASE MLREEEE
Happy to see this return but Brendan i have a question what happened to the leweka review video?
I’m guessing it’s gone because Mykel Ryan is going to entirely rework the region
1:05:50 I think you were talking about the maned wolf?
That’s the one!
YEEEEEAH! If you get permission, you could use some of these for regional forms.
I was just thinking it had been too long since we had one of these!!!
Popoyle is making me hungry , It's reminding me of Shrimp Tempura 😂❤😅😊
you putting piggy music brings back nostalgia 😅
The Solympian Lapras is probably one of my favorite fakemon
It’s sad that BirdkeeperToby leaving but he’s got a life to live so it can’t all be about what the fans want. He hast to do what’s best for him. I watched his fakemon region. And I really liked it a lot. I really like yours a lot as well. Also, I do remember the Power Ranger movie. In fact, I’ve been a Power Ranger fan since it first aired on TV the classic Power Rangers and I’m 38 years old in 2023.
Watching this is helping me get better at my Fakemon region
Ok but kabootops and omenstar could be references to the latios/latias movie where they have the revived skeletons attack
1:09:54 both forms of lagoladon look more similar to a Kirin than a Wolpertinger
Where did images come from.... 😮
Is it just me or does the Slaking look like muscle man from Regular Show 😂 18:51
Me when region review is back and Big up Toby what a legend
Finally the region reviews are baccçcck!!!let's ggggg9oooooo
Yeah, I'm showing my age too. Those things were like suits of armor the rangers had to fight to get their powers back or whatever 90's bs they were on LOL. But to comment on the druidigoyle, it looks like a statue come to life, powered by draconic energy or something. It definitely has a slight uncanny feel to it, as uncanny as a pokemon can be I guess
The move when a fire type loses its fire typing is called burn up.
I love how after the DnD like Alakazam to a Druid-igoyle
Finally reacting again
36:14 Draken could be based off of Dracula, since Dracula translates to "Son of Dracul" or "Son of the Dragon".
39:03 Missingno never had an Omastar form. It was only Kabutops and Aerodactyl.
I've been wanting to make my own region. It's all in 🧠. Unfortunately that doesn't make me good at actually doing the art
You should check out infamous trainer's region it's awesome
seen that Power ranger movie and I am not even 18 yet
I think it would be cool to region review other Pokétubers.
Please do a region review on Subjectively's Mazah region!
Whats a good program to use to start designing my own pokemon? I assume most people use photoshop but i was hoping to find a software that isnt expensive or maybe even free. Any ideas would help I really want to get into it on my free time
Ash Team will be
Pikachu
Goldliath
Petawattrel
Xelevate
Serappin
Palamage
Chlorodon
Minotar Ace of the team
Washido
Dozermon
Avalisk
Thundra
Symorgue
Spook- Hoot
ATM I’m making my own Pokemon region they don’t look as good as these but I’ll try my best can’t wait for a new video I love watching you so much❤
i liked it and your opinion of em by the way you said it i think for aangs little air trick but it might be called a scooter
What happened with devar region?
when y'all vibes different but the sex be hitting
Yes i know the power ranger movie. Also fauna is animals the word you're looking for flora.
I want you to make meloetta of every type! Can you? Can you?
he kinda already did one in a way, with oricorrio of every type. i don’t know if he wants to make an “of every type” for EVERY pokémon with a type change
I want the bird (I am a big fan of birds) isn’t usually either a Bird or a reptile for me as of starters
So I wonder what mega evolution would be like if it was more tainted by the pokemon's emotions like it's more controlled with the trainer to mega evolve but what if the mega evolution was tainted by hatred or some sort of darkness in the pokemon
Lobo guará
I think that was the species you were trying to mention
✋️ I know the Power Rangers movie Mr. PragMagik
It is a coconut which is why it hatch from the coconut
When I saw the grass starter I literally predicted the fire second type would be ground and water would be flying 😮 not even joking
Vol-per-tin-gurr, I believe is the pronunciation.
Driconium looks like Blue-eyes White Dragon from YU-GI-OH
Driconium is legit velkhana and I love it
I LOVE that you are being kinda critical in this video. In some of your previous ones you've been a little too scared of criticizing things too harshly.
Yo you feelin ok bro?
Follows the starter theme too
1:24:02 alpha omega looks like the aang avatar state giant ocean spirit fish
Ash should really travel to Solympia
Can you do a video of Ogerpon of every type?
I'll be sad that BKT will leave 😥 he's awesome
To be fair Lizards are just four wheel drive snakes.
Ticlone is the "Eye of the storm" 😂
Would love to see a review of artworks218_ Mahala Region as well as the Fabela Region 🙏🙏🙏😁😁😁
Bro pls do ogerpon mask of each type
I didn’t think anyone else watched that movie
I got a slight Void from Berserk vibe from Vamprain. Am I the only one?
Was looking for this comment
Yes I still remember the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie and the rock monsters they fight to get their new powers.
"Were back" 🥶
Hey, Brandon. Could you please pop your latest Devhar region video in the Devhar playlist? Thank you so much. :)
