Something I figured out in Pokemon design is that all of them have to take into account how they'll be transformed as merch. That includes plushies, keychains, etc. Simplifying most shapes (complicated forms becoming just circles/triangles) or having just 3-5 colors as opposed to an entire spectrum just fits the Pokemon design perspective more.
THIS!! SPECIALLY with starters, my philosophy for them is that if i cant see them turned into plushies in the same shelf of sanrio and kirby characters plushies, they need to be simpler/cuter, since startes NEED to be plushie-able for comertial reasons, and achieving that is what gives you the official look
Agreed. There is another factor that I think gets taken into account when designing Pokémon: the anime and possibly in-game features and/or battle formats. Let me explain. Most or at least numerous people understand that Incineroar is based off of heel wrestlers, tigers, and a professional wrestler known as Tiger Mask. However, a thought occurred to me recently, and I apologize if I'm late to the party on this. I think Incineroar was designed with both the Battle Royal and the character/alter-ego Masked Royal in mind. Either Incineroar came first, the Battle Royal came first, the Masked Royal came first, or these ideas came about simultaneously. Additionally, Pokémon need to be designed with both the anime art style as well as the Pokémon anime in mind, regardless of whether or not they'll be plot relevant. If you can't set them in even one anime episode, the design may either need to be reworked or scrapped.
18:00 For different colors, it would've been cool if it was like aging copper going from orange to a greenish color to show the progression of the pokemons age.
That would tie in the Steel typing perfectly! It'd also make the wise, ancient dragon aspect even more prevalent. So many designs are made by talented people that just lack that little bit of a second opinion and some brainstorming, like what Gamefreak actually has! Stick these artists all in a room together and have them make a Pokedex working together, and it'd come out perfect!
Well while my designs did not make it into the critique part I saw them on screen (0:27) for a split second😁 that’s close enough for me^.^ congrats to all the designs that got chosen. These kind of videos are super helpful even if your designs do not get picked. Amazing opportunity for artists to learn and develop their skills. Hope the video does well!
Awesome to see so many great Fakemon artists in this one! And some really valid critiques! Even though Pokémon are simple at their core, they’re still hard to master designing!
As someone who's planning on designing Fakémon soon, I'd absolutely love for this series to continue with a part 4! I feel like I've learned a lot from your critiques before even having drawn a single Fakémon!
I always learn so much about how to improve my own character designs whever I watch your art videos. Videos like these that give genuine critique while also being so positive are so encouraging 💚💜!
Yeah that's what a lot of people who critique stuff do wrong. They're overly critical on the design. Ron instead gives positive feedback and says oh if you tweak this a little, then it might work better. Positive words encourages people to change something rather than being critical and saying change this or it's not good
Ron I think you might be right. This batch of Fakemon is too strong. I can't keep up with all these guys! I'm jealous! DX But seriously, this was fun to participate in! Even if my little fireflies didn't make the video, I'm happy that they got noticed in some way. It's also nice to learn how to make a more convincing Fakemon, even if the artist and or philosophy are different!
The expression of the Steel type is actually referenced in the colors. All I have to do is point to the Statue of Liberty. When copper oxidizes, it becomes that pale green color. I suppose the color doesn't make sense for it's 1st form since it's not a steel type yet. Perhaps the first form should be more brown like copper and without those scale-like plates. It's second form is mostly copper/brown, but perhaps those pale green scale-like plates begin to appear. Then it's final form kept as is.
I think a really fun series would be for you to look at, not Fakemon themselves, but art of creatures from other monster collection games, and compare and contrast the different design sensibilities of them vs Pokémon. It could be interesting to see what makes something *not* look like a Pokémon, even if just in a “here’s what to avoid when specifically making a fakemon” kind of thing If this idea interests you, I’d suggest looking at designs from Cassette Beasts, Monster Sanctuary, and Spectrobes
Just to critique your critiques: -Litten is not an obviously fire starter in any of its evolutions. -Dragonaire and Serperior are long snake proportioned Pokémon. -Falinks, Mousehold etc are Pokémon made up of multiple Pokémon. Love all the advice and critiques, as well as all the fakemons! Just wanted to counter argue a couple things.
Critiqueing your critiques of my critiques: - Litten is very much charcoal with red accents. Like I said, the accents can hint at the typing in the starter, unlike the example in the video. - Those are perfect examples to SUPPORT what I’m saying. Dragonair’s neck is thinner to accentuate its head, making it look less like a snake and more like a dragon. Serperior is very much WAY thicker than a real snake and has a huge head. Compare its proportions to the fakemon in the video. - I never said multiple Pokemon in one wasn’t possible. Just that the anatomy of the fakemon in the video is a mystery. (But that may also be the point)
I’ve only done one Fakemon before, very recently (as in literally yesterday) but my main problem is that I *cannot* mimic other artstyles. My art style is very unique and noticeable and a large part of the way I draw, and I can’t draw in any other style without it looking really horrible.
The “overly detailed, spiky mouth Pokémon” at around 14:30 - 15:00 Could easily be fixed by slightly simplifying some things and making the mouth a zipper and calling it a Bannet evolution. It already looks like it tbh
You’re right these are great submissions and your critiques are very valid with little tweets some of those fan designs can give the official Pokémon a run for their money
@6:39 i think the word you're looking for is: Vibrant. for the starters the Red (Fire), Blue (Water), and Green (Grass) are for the most part more vibrant.
Please do part 4 I've been waiting for a long time for this to happen you're the only reason why I practice for this art style a lot I have liked subscribed and I have notifications
I hope that there'll be even more of these because I submitted my own Fakemon which is "MissingNo but an actual Pokemon". It has a lot of insipirations and I'm extremely proud of it.
I love this because for some of these I screenshotted them and put them in CSP and made my own edits to them, which I think really helps me in making better art myself, because you really start to think about the design choices. And then when I continued the video, found you saying many of the same critiques. And in some cases I had different ones, like with the steel kirin thing. I'd personally cut out the middle stage and make the prevo copper coloured and then have the mature version be a bit more vibrant to resemble patina.
Didn't get a chance to work on it in a while but I actually do have a fakemon in the works, a concept for a pokemon idea me and my physical therapist came up with when she miss heard me say whack a mole and said guacamole, Thus gwakamole was formed And for lil background on this bab, i like to think that it is known for staying in darker areas like caves, only really coming out at night, but one other place you may find them, gardens, mainly ones that grow fruit and vegetables, like normal moles they would be known for digging around in yards, and sometimes you may catch one's nose sticking out, often mistaken for a patch of grass, I'm working on whether or not to make two separate designs for male and female, cause the first sketch i did had a baby version on it's head that looked like an avocado pit (still working on pre evolved form not even a name yet) definitely will revise my work and hopefully submit it by next time
Hey Ron. Another kind of video that might work really well is asking for ppl to submit fakemon design ideas (without visualization) and choosing some of them to turn into fakemon
So, i have an idea to make a fakemon .... AND IS!!! Genreon, a baby pkn, pure fairy type, and have a thing who no pkn haves, IS SPLIT WHO HAVES SPLIT, genreon evolves 1st time when lvl 20 if it female is evolves into giloshe, and middle stages have two unique moves: lie streak, and true feast. If giloshe used lie streak 20 times is EVOLVES INTO: liemite, it have fairy and psychic typing, that pkn loves to tell lies, like most stupid boy in your class fell in love with you. And more and also i forgot about male evo..
And it giloshe used true feast 20 times it evolves into gilobeauty, a Fairy and fire type (because it hot girl because hot temperature you filling what you burning in fire) And that pkn all ways now true. And is genreon male on lvl 20 it evolves into gilohim a fairy fighting type, VEEERRY INTERESTING. if gilohim used lie streak 20 times it evolves into liegite, fairy psychic typing also, he also loves telling lies, If gilohim used true feast 20 times it evolves into gilomite, fairy dragon type, he also knows the truth Ye that all information about that pokemon, it maybe interested you, and all ways make it..
Interesting to hear the critiques, but totally align with how Ron works! Every time I was a "creating fakemon" video, Ron will overdo certain features and then redraw over and over to get the balance right with fur, scales etc... It's only natural to want to add the extra detail, because it adds to the artwork, but to meet the unspoken requirements of Pokemon design, Ron is spot on, less is more! Some really awesome designs in their own right though!!
I have an Idea for Fakemon 4, like you see the new fakemons and those that you have a "It's amazing...but" maybe make a sketch not really a full on redesign so it doesn't take so much
Im making my own Pokemon region based on Ireland the starters are a grass deer a fire squirrel and a water seagull and this video will help me design my fakemon
Grass deer already exists with the Deerling line, but that's not to say it can't be used in another way. Do you have any concept art for these? As an Irish native myself, I'd be interested in seeing your take.
@@theherohartmut I already made them here is the dex so far I already made all of them just need put them in the format also this is the first dex that I made the designs virtualally as such most of the designs especially the older ones aren't to good of designsdrive.google.com/drive/folders/1cNg2iWLJt4MOeWgKXe78FDPnNMj0TSir
my fakemon be like: A Literal Earthquack A Mail Man Cyborg A Underwater Lion A Snowman Squirel A Nuke That Is The King And A Legendary Bug OR A Fire Cat Miner Personaly I Choose Fire Cat Miner Team Types Ground Grass Normal Steel Water Electric Ice Dark Fighting Bug Dragon Or Fire Rock Names Earthquack Mailborg Thundrion Squinter Nuking Alphanet Or i forgor
Most people aren't mimicking the artstyle of pokemon, so maybe next time give them drawing advice to pull the piece together or how to incorporate other meanings instead
Except trugreen's point is how well they make fakemon look Canon, By your logic I could make anything and call it an exact replica of what a pokemon should be. He litterally just critiques them so if they want to make it more Legit. They wouldnt send in their arts if they just want him to ignore Pokemon Elements.
Finally someone that point the major problem of Fakemon Overdesign! they are not bad, just overdesinged, looks almost like Digimon(I love Digimon but c'mon)
for the snakes i would suggest the colors to swap so it matches the verse to differentiate milk snakes and coral snakes "red touching black safe is jack (base), red touching yellow kill a fellow (evo) but thats just my idea
@@goddessdeedeebubblesofimag7789 There's no need to be rude and condescending about it. Saying "and he;s giving constructive criticism" is just as effective. This came off as really rude and mean. And no, not all constructive criticism is helpful just because it's given. The one that really bothered me in this was the spike section. It looked good just as is, not everything needs to be a specific way and it was good and fine just as is.
Yep! And they sent it into him to hear his opinion and see if they can improve anything! Most artists want constructive criticism to make their designs better. That was the entire point of sending them to him in the first place.
I’m planning on creating my own fakemon line that is a regional form of espurr and Meowstic, but what’s different is that 1. Espurr is able to evolve into many unique forms, similar to eevee and 2. They’re all based on different feathered dinosaurs. It’s not like eevee where each evolution corresponds to a different type. Instead, each evolution has a unique type combination based on the biology of the real animal and putting a Pokemon spin on it in some cases. This is not meant for any fakemon region, this is just simply a passion project focusing on not only giving my favorite Pokemon some love, but also combining that with my love for feathered dinosaurs.
I just wanted to say, at 2:00 I think the fur tuft on the head IS supposed to represent fire, lol. But idk I didn't design it, and yeah it still is kinda hard to tell it's fire type
13:04 actually, if you look at this design, there's a real issue with colors. The general idea seems to be: a purple tiger with black stripes and white head, legs and arms plus the white skull on the torso. But then have a black tail with purple stripes for some reason, that purple diamond on the torso (which should certainly be black), and the light purple belt and that thing at the end of the tail that are of the same colors as the emanations. Maybe one of those details could be kept, but you could also easily simplify the design to be more efficient. That pokémon doesn't need a belt, a diamond, a special thing at the end of its tail, and its tail doesn't need to have a different color scheme.
Good art everyone. Some of these are incredible, and then some of them just bring me a chuckle. Goofy lil guys. edit: I need a Gorf (the round seal boi)
I've had this pointed out in another pokemon video, that *most* steel types don't read steel (Especially the more organic pokemon, ie. not the literal metal pieces and A LOT of the insect pokemon). Jirachi, Alolan Diglett/Dugtrio, Alolan Sandshrew/Sandslash, Trash cloak Wormadam, Cufant...It's almost always their secondary typing that takes the wheel and steel is just a second thought.
I’m thinking about starting a Pokémon region… Can you give me some tips or tricks please! By the way can you redesign your starters so we can see how you’ve “evolved” since then?
For darksilvania's pokemon I think they could be clothes I mean if you look at their hands it seems like they could have made the clothes themselves and they want to hide in those clothes just luke Mimikyu does
Thank you so much for giving me inspiration for my own fakemon region i am make and coding a game which should be done in a couple years i would love if you were the one to first person to play it Ron since you inspired me so much

Yeah that's a pretty good way to describe it, they need to work as toys/plushies/etc
Also in older gens they had limited colour palettes to work with so they had a strict limitation on the number of different colours
THIS!!

Shoutout to Darksilvania, I've been following him for about 10 years, and he's always been one of the best Fakemon creators of all time.
The flamingo one is perfect. I love him so much. Edit: I love the dragon horse too. Most of these are so good! Lol
The expression of the Steel type is actually referenced in the colors. All I have to do is point to the Statue of Liberty. When copper oxidizes, it becomes that pale green color. I suppose the color doesn't make sense for it's 1st form since it's not a steel type yet. Perhaps the first form should be more brown like copper and without those scale-like plates.

@@goddessdeedeebubblesofimag7789 There's no need to be rude and condescending about it. Saying "and he;s giving constructive criticism" is just as effective. This came off as really rude and mean. And no, not all constructive criticism is helpful just because it's given. The one that really bothered me in this was the spike section. It looked good just as is, not everything needs to be a specific way and it was good and fine just as is.
He’s just saying his opinion and trying to help you the best possible way he can
Yep! And they sent it into him to hear his opinion and see if they can improve anything! Most artists want constructive criticism to make their designs better. That was the entire point of sending them to him in the first place.
this are so cool. would love to see more. i have my own fake mons but doubt i'll ever share. lol maybe someday.
I love watching these since I can actually learn tips and tricks for fakémon drawing
I’m planning on creating my own fakemon line that is a regional form of espurr and Meowstic, but what’s different is that 1. Espurr is able to evolve into many unique forms, similar to eevee and 2. They’re all based on different feathered dinosaurs.
It’s not like eevee where each evolution corresponds to a different type. Instead, each evolution has a unique type combination based on the biology of the real animal and putting a Pokemon spin on it in some cases.
This is not meant for any fakemon region, this is just simply a passion project focusing on not only giving my favorite Pokemon some love, but also combining that with my love for feathered dinosaurs.
I just wanted to say, at 2:00 I think the fur tuft on the head IS supposed to represent fire, lol. But idk I didn't design it, and yeah it still is kinda hard to tell it's fire type
Thanks for featuring me at the end!! I can totally see how the proportions could be changed a little for sure :)
'How can you have three pokemon in a coat?'
Tandemaus: ......
Falinks: >:(
Well, those look like actual pokemon, while just having three pokemon in an actual coat just looks weird
Well maushold and dugtrio/wugtrio exists @Irish_Mann
13:04 actually, if you look at this design, there's a real issue with colors. The general idea seems to be: a purple tiger with black stripes and white head, legs and arms plus the white skull on the torso.
But then have a black tail with purple stripes for some reason, that purple diamond on the torso (which should certainly be black), and the light purple belt and that thing at the end of the tail that are of the same colors as the emanations. Maybe one of those details could be kept, but you could also easily simplify the design to be more efficient. That pokémon doesn't need a belt, a diamond, a special thing at the end of its tail, and its tail doesn't need to have a different color scheme.
Good art everyone. Some of these are incredible, and then some of them just bring me a chuckle. Goofy lil guys. edit: I need a Gorf (the round seal boi)
Gorf was my favorite hands down.
The term "Pokemon artist" make it sounds like you actually designed official Pokemon
I've had this pointed out in another pokemon video, that *most* steel types don't read steel (Especially the more organic pokemon, ie. not the literal metal pieces and A LOT of the insect pokemon). Jirachi, Alolan Diglett/Dugtrio, Alolan Sandshrew/Sandslash, Trash cloak Wormadam, Cufant...It's almost always their secondary typing that takes the wheel and steel is just a second thought.
I absolutely love these!!! Plz do more
Yet another TruGreen7 W video, I love your videos
This series is just so good
How does dude not have 1 million yet?
17:45 for that I suggest making it look more colorful like milotic scales
I wanna see truegreen7 set up a challgen where a fan can get their pokemon in his up coming new region
Wow, that's a lot of the first fakemon. I wonder when he'll go to the second?
I’m thinking about starting a Pokémon region… Can you give me some tips or tricks please! By the way can you redesign your starters so we can see how you’ve “evolved” since then?
6:00 i think that if the pink pokemon’s off-white was a lot more saturated, i think it would fix the problem!!
For darksilvania's pokemon I think they could be clothes I mean if you look at their hands it seems like they could have made the clothes themselves and they want to hide in those clothes just luke Mimikyu does
4:27 dugtrio is currently glaring at you as you're saying this
blazapex look like a Kamen rider character
Lucario being steel was the bane of steel type designs
Thank you so much for giving me inspiration for my own fakemon region i am make and coding a game which should be done in a couple years i would love if you were the one to first person to play it Ron since you inspired me so much
How can I start designing my own fakemon?
Please make a full tutorial Ron
It'd be crazy if TrueGreen decided to critique popular pokemon-inspired games like those ones on Roblox, or something of the sort.
I love how these fakemon actually look real also I love armastone
i love watching these videos,
one day i wanna get into one of them :)
I don't have Twitter, is their another way for me to send you my art
Wait he's talking about pokemon needing less colors and xerneas has like the whole rainbow.
hey make another one of these! but maybe use other social medias cuz i dont use twitter cuz i want to show u my cool scratch based pokemon!
it could be argued that the red and orange accents remind to fruits instead so its fine as a starter for a more tropical region, just like rowlet6
13:25 insert seel for comparison (ik gen 1 is gen 1 but still, is seel is a pokemon I'd say GORF is plausible. Although mb not nowadays though.)

Scarlet Entry : It ressemble a certain pokemon introducted in a paranormal magazine described as the pokemon that put humans who stare at his eyes in a never ending nightmare and stun them forever with his Psychic powers. We haven't found a cure yet
Violet Entry : It's possible Iron Blades an Absol from the future described in a old book, may actually be this pokémon
I know it's a métal réskins but so does every future paradox pokemon
