Regional variant Pokemon have been a thing for a while now, but it was only recently in Pokemon Legends Arceus that we saw regional variants of Starter Pokemon. To this point, only the starters in those games have received regional variants, but what if EVERY Starter Pokemon had one? In today's video, we are going to begin to explore that idea, as I showcase some regional variant evolutions that I have created for the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn starters!

the ancient form of blastoise fix the problem for a Pokémon biological work maybe take it after changing it arm if connect to it's back after use for war maybe mutant it the Pokémon for it's canon be on it's back and the canons look unnatural even for Pokémon.
Charziard should've been a dragon type.
Let's be honest... you only made venusaur a cherry blossom because your sponsor.... not because you rhought it was a good idea
Ngl fam I love
The charizard
Feraligator
& Swampert
Regional variants I thought Swampert was gonna be a water/sound type due to its frills & fins but either way love how u pay attention to detail it's really refreshing seeing your fav starters get the Regional variant treatment 😁
Can't wait for the next ones 😁💙😁💙😁💙😁💙😁
The Thunderbird is also Native American myth about a bird so big the flap of its wings cause thunder.
If y’all haven’t noticed, the 3 Kanto starters secondary types are all later added types!
That's a cute detail!
That would be cool… if it kept the triangle steel resists grass so now venusaur can now deal nuteral damage… the same thing happened in sinnoh with empoleon but torterra is a ground type so it still passes
Isn't Bulbasaur a duel grass/poison type from the get go?
@@douglaspope-gz1eq yes
Oh I get it now he's talking about the fan designs not the cannon designs my bad
Can we take some time to appreciate these artist?
Yes these artists are amazing
🎉🎉🎉
I think he draws them himself
Nevermind lol
No
Those variants of Blastoise, Swampert and Sceptile look amazing
But now Blastoise can’t put their arms in their shell, which is kinda sad for a tortoise.
@@NokoTheTaco Yeah, but he can hide rest of the body and start shooting the enemies.
@@NokoTheTaco waits its a tortoise!?
@@Shrimpy_SpecialFlavor I mean the last half of Blastoise name comes from tortoise, but now that I see that, I wonder if Blastoise is supposed to be pronounced like tortoise 🤔
That sceptile is crazy !
I think all these are super cool, especially the Charizard and Swampert! One thing I would like to see maybe in future iterations is having a region in mind for all of them (like you did with the Unova ones) Just to tie them a bit further into the whole Legends idea!
Yes the Charizard is really cool 🔥
Charizard will get a regional variant someday. It's the only existing special form it hasn't gotten yet and Gamefreak can't allow its favourite to be left out.
Well, that and a regional fake.
I love Charizard’s regional variant
@@Luigicat11 That's not a form though. If you're gonna count that then you should count paradox too
@@albond
Well, if we're counting Paradox forms then we need to count both past and future since some Pokémon got both.
I love charizard
I thought of a Fire/Steel American Football Unovan Cinderace
I love that idea!
This is a great idea
Absolutely in love with that Swampert design and concept. It honestly hurts that we’ll never see these specific designs used in an official game. Good stuff.
Great concept and video. All of these are well thought out. So many regional starters are just like “blastoise with fire” or “charizard with bubble”. Great job to you and the artists!
Considering Meganium's Stats, I think making it part Steel type is a great idea because it adds to some of its defenses.
But it gives it a 4x weakness
it still gets a 4x weakness by being Grass/Ice - Fire
That feraligatr design is crazy! Love that the design on its stomach is a face as well
Loved ALL of these variants. As a Blaziken stan I wasn't expecting to be even more blown away by Swampert, Meganium, and Venasaur's designs in particular. All of these were fun to see and learn about. Would love to see the others!
oh, i LOVE that poison sceptile. that colour combo on it is SO good.
regional variant themes i've thought about of primarina and incineroar have been like, a metal (maybe specifically black metal) singer version of primarina, and a dancer (maybe specifically ballet?) version of incineroar.
Great ideas, especially for Charizard, Feraligatr, and Sceptile. I always had them as my favorite starters from their respective gens and I would go with them with these regional variants as well, although both your Swampert and Blaziken ideas are great as well. Also Feraligatr doesn't need any spicing, he's simplistic, and that's one of the things that make him awesome.
Here are some ideas I have for Regional Variants for Starters:
Venusaur: Grass/Flying and the flower on its back turns into helicopter rotors
Charizard: Fire/Rock because I always felt it had a common ancestor with Aerodactyl
Blastoise: Water/Electric as a reference to hydroelectric power
Meganium: Grass/Fairy because I feel the cherry blossom theme fits it better
Feraligatr: Water/Dragon to make it look more monstrous
Sceptile: Grass/Steel in order to make its Leaf Blades even sharper
Blaziken: Fire/Flying and based on the Latiken fusion concept art
Swampert: Water/Poison to connect it to Clodsire
Love the regional forms for Venusaur, Charizard, Sceptile and Swampert! Swampert’s new design would be my top favourite
Really enjoyed the video Hoops! You and the artists crushed this! Definitely looking forward to part 2 and 3!
Regional variants for Final Stage Starters is one of the best things Legends Arceus did and I NEED more in future games.
Thank you for providing an idea for it. The Regional Variants you created for a oissuble Legends Unova game are still so peak. Regional Swampert has won over my heart,
sceptile has always been my favorite grass type starters and seeing it get a regional variant, especially one based off a really cool dinosaur, was amazing
when I look at Sceptile I often think of the bulbs on his back as being like tesla coils and him being Grass/Electric. Maybe his tail becomes like an antenna. I think it'd be neat
These designs are so cool! I especially love the Venasaur, Sceptile, and Swampert! I would definitely love to see more in the future of the rest of the starters! 🤩
Really enjoy the connection between Blaziken & Thunderbird/Warpath from X-Men!
Amazing designs. I love vids like these from you. They're always a home run buddy
Thank you! I’m so glad you like them!! 😊
Excellent points supported with nice artwork, this was great!
If they where not only a regional variant but also a regional evolution like Linoone into Obstagoon, it would be cool to name them after their Japanese names such as Fushigibana, Lizardon and Kamex
The only problem with that, is that we don’t have a precedent for a Four-stage evolution line yet
@@TempestsFury I think they’re saying that the starters would have a split evolution instead of a fourth evolution. Charmeleon would still evolve into Charizard, but could also evolve into Lizardon.
i'd love to see them be in the official games in the future either with those variants or something close to it
These variants look awesome! These artists have done very well.
You're concepts are amazing guys! Keep going!
Loved your video, great job! Your starter Pokemon regional variant concepts were top-notch. It's obvious you put in a lot of creative thinking and dedication into each design, and it really shines through how intricate and detailed they are. Appreciate your hard work on this!
Based on axolotls, your water ghost-type Swampert idea is quite impressive. I loved how you tied together the axolotl's endangered status and regenerative ability in the design. This is a great example of how Pokemon designs can hold a deeper, real-world connection with meaning.
Keep up the great work and I'm eagerly anticipating your future videos! I truly hope that Game Freak sees your ideas and integrates them into upcoming Pokemon games.
It would be amazing to see the rest of the starters that exist as of now to have regional variants.
All of them are so good that I can't choose one of them. And YES we want to see more Starter Pokemon with Regional Variant
Dope as hell bro. Pokétubers are all so creative in the ways they help keep interest in the franchise fresh and alive. Alot of times the fans and Pokétubers concepts and thoughts are more creative than wat we are given by the games themselves.
I loved this bro, and your channel in general. Keep it up.
Great video! Some incredible designs here. Especially love the Meganium design, but feels like it could be Dark Grass, and the Sceptile design is amazing! The reasoning and design for Blaziken is very clever.
I can't wait to see them ALL!
The Blaziken variant is so well done, I love it. It’s difficult to give something a Native American/Native peoples motif without making it look like a caricature, but you NAILED it.
Please continue the series! Just subbed and you’ve got some great content here, keep it going!
Love all the designs! I look forward for a future vidéo just like this!
Your Charizard and Sceptile variants are awesome!!
Want part 2 asap
Quick ficture, Swampert has actually my first starter pokemon ever! I started playing pokemon emerald because that has the game my cousins where playing in the corrent time, so every time i see it beeing ficture in a video or in the main pokemon media i get really happy.😊
But this? This is AMAZING!! Has a Swampert fan and expecialist, i aprove your work!👍
For my, only the regional Sceptile can stay head to head with it!
And yes, YES i want more of those videos! PLEASE!!🙏
Regional variants are usually pallet swaps and slight alterations. Not taking away the back canons and giving it weird Mario turtle shell hands and a robot head.
Really well done. Loved this video.
Charizard and Sceptile look incredible. If their variants would look like this, they would immediately went to my favourite pokemons. I'd even say that they would probably be around or in my top 3 of non-legendary.
Man, these designs are incredible. Absolutely worth the effort.
Love this idea! Would love to see other Legends games later!
Great video! Can’t wait to see the other starters
I’d like to see the other regional variants for the starters. Keep ‘em coming!
This series is a sick idea! GG My boi swampert looks awesome. Really hope they get made sometime in the future 🤞🏻
As soon as I laid eyes on Sceptile, I knew immediately what inspired you. Oh my lord I love it.
I really like the Regional Sceptile you have, Hoops. In fact, I could almost see it alternatively working as a past Paradox form of Sceptile
man that swampert looks so menacing but the eyes make it so adorable i love it
I love the design of all the mobs plus it's so cool!
great work from the artists and the creator with the lore
Charizard was my first starter all the way back in Pokémon Red, but it's never been my 'favourite' pokémon. Now, this 'wyvern' Regional Charizard on the other hand looks amazing! The fact that it looks so cool just means that it will never exist, though...
Sceptile, Swampert, and Feraligatr look fantastic, as well! The spooky face on Feraligatr's body is such a cool design.
Feraligatr and Sceptile are dope af, good job!
I love that Cyndaquil got a regional variant evolution. Cyndaquil is my favorite starter
These are amazing! Best video ever!
Haven't gotten through the intro yet and i already want parts 2 and 3...i love these type of vids
Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :)
Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu.
I think an important thing to take into account with how starter regional variants we do have in Legends Arceus is that they strongly represent the region they are from by taking on the appearance of various kinds of jobs or positions of the era that region is based on. Typhlosion being a Monk/Exorcist, Samurott being chosen because of it being a Samurai and Decidueye being redesigned to take after a Ronin. If the intent of the redesigns is to be based on a potential Legends remake of any region, then that should be considered.
I absolutely love all of these!! 😍😍😍
3:50 seeing the names Haruhi and Mikuru on this footage really sent me back
Awesome concept and great designs 👍👍
All of these were amazing. My favourite has to be Venusaur. Absolutely stunning and my all-time favourite starter; hats off to you and the artists
Definitely an interesting concept that should be explored more
OH. MY. GOSH! Every single one of these are AWESOME!!!!!! I’d love any one of these new starters!!!! I also liked the logic and themes you based them off of!
1:27 this lil scene is so cute 🥰
For Venasaur, I always thought a grass/ghost regional variant would be cool. Venasaur would take on a greyish/green colour and the plant on its back would be all brown and discoloured, and covered in bramble/weeds.
Its ghost because the plant is dying. You could have it in the pokedex entry that it was brought to the new region but the pokemon struggled to absorb the proper nutrients and the plant on its back began to wilt, yet somehow the pokemon has managed survive.
great designs!! in love with ghost feraligatr
What an artist! They are all awesome!
All these designs are very cool!
I’d use any of these starters in a heartbeat. Well done!
Dude, you made three of my favorite starters (Blastoise, Meganium and Sceptile) all even better! I want all of them!
Chickens have nothing to do with the weather vane itself. Roosters stand on barn rooves, and when people installed their weather vane, the rooster would still want to stand on the roof. So they got the idea to put the rooster on the vane as decoation.
But the rooster has nothing to do with the vane itself.
All of these look amazing. Especially that septile and swampert
Imagine though: a future based Legends game that features your Blastoise variant with two other starter variants with a theme of robots/videogame characters.
This was absolutely amazing
I particularly liked the Venusaur and Feraligatr designs. I actually had a hard time deciding which my favorite gen 3 was, especially with all of the designs being so good. I'd probably be most inclined to go with either the Blaziken or Swampert, but I found the Septile to be good too.
Please make more of these videos!
I definitely want to see parts 2 and 3!
These variants look super cool. I watched all the prior videos that discovered the previously made variants so seeing them again was cool. I also enjoyed seeing the ones that debuted in this video. I would love to see something like this in the actual franchise! 💯
I love these designs!
I’d love to see another round of this
Axolotls are also named after the Aztec version of the grim reaper, Xolotl, the water monster. He is usually depicted as a black axolotl with a comically large mouth, so if you went that route, ghost could make sense but a water/dark type might be better since the grim reaper collects ghosts, and what bodies ghost types, dark types.
these were amazing! but i have to say it would be very interesting to see all of them paired up into fitting trios set in ancient regions of the pokémon universe just as with hisui and sinnoh to give each trio a set theme.
I kept wanting to shake the screen and shout, "DOES RAICHU MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?"
The Water types totally carried this video. All 3 were amazing in my opinion!
Have a number of complaints, but also a number of complements. I will say that in order for a few of these designs to work, you would also need to give regional variants to some of the middle stage evolutions.
First off with Venusaur, it's face seem a bit off; it may be the angle but I don't think it's face is wide enough. As for it's overall design, I don't think this matches well with it's prevo. Ivysaur had one bud on it's back that hasn't opened up with some tropical looking leaves that look like it's the bulb from its pervious form opened up. This version of Venusaur that looks like a spring chia pet (or Shaymin) has two flower cannon. In order to make this work, I would suggest making a version of Ivysaur with two buds on it's back and make the leaves less tropic looking (maybe also give them a pinkish tent).
Charizard Looks great. I love how it's become a Wyvern type dragon, and the way it's flame spreads across it tail is a nice touch. I would suggest giving it two extra claws on it's wings to even things out with it's clasic form and prevos. And while the dark type does work for it, I would suggest instead making it part fighting type (in witch case may I also suggest modifying it's legs). I only suggest giving it the fighting type in order to even things out with this version of Blastoise. Speaking of...
Blastoise is probably the one that I have the least complaints about. It's Megaman style works for it, and I can see that it's claws can retract into it's cannon shells to preform water attacks. I would suggest giving more definition to the claw in the illustration, it looks a little flat
The Joto starters are in a weird spot. They (along with Blaziken) are designs that you have already done/already have a official regional variant, so I don't think I should comment on them. I will say that having two ghost types is not a good match up though.
I like Sceptile's look, but like Venusaur I don't think you're taking it's prevo into account one of Grovyle's most defining traits are those leaf blades on it's arms, even when it evolves it's aspects (while less notable) are kept. I would normally suggest adding those leaf blades into this version of Sceptile, but that might clash with what you're going for so it might be easier to give Grovyle a regional variant as well.
Finally there's Swampert (if it wasn't clear I'm skipping Blaziken). I have no issues with it's design, but you should probably give it's prevo a variant. It feels a little weird for Marshtomp to go from water/ground to water/ghost when it evolves, so this would make things less awkward. While you're at it, it might also be a good idea to do the same thing to Combusken for the same reason
We need more of this. Like, now.
Absolutely want to see the rest!
Gotta say, dig that Blaziken variant you made. Nice work!
A grass/flying variant of Sceptile would also be really cool. Lean into its swift characteristics and pick up some Flying Lizard aspects. Love the Jurassic Park influence you went with though!
Please make more this is sooo cool
Some time ago I thought a concept for a legends galar game, what about a game situated on the XIX/XX century, where our characters are Bobbies, a president rose ancestor is the chief of police, and Hop's/Leon's ancestor is a version of both Sherlock Holmes and the professor Moriarty, and the villain of the game
Venusaur is my favorite Kanto starter, if not my favorite starter of all time, and I love the new regional variant you came up with. It looks so cute!
always a good day when hoopsandhiphop posts
The Swampert line is based on mudskippers, axolotl is just the inspiration for the spikes on its cheeks
Well tbh it can be both
I really like the blastoise design, but once you made the megaman comparison, I can’t unsee it
Ok this is the coolest charizard variant fake or otherwise that I’ve ever seen. Amazing work. All of these are great designs too. Knocked it out the park
All awesome designs, but blastoise felt more like a future paradox form
Venusaur: I forsake my poison typing to become a Sakura frog
The poison type: So you have decided to be destroyed by my hands I see
Heavily
