    The Galactic admins look *way* more fitting in their current outfits imo. Them being dressed cleanly is a lot more appropriate for the "upstanding business" facade that Team Galactic hold up

    • @diostaku2
      @diostaku2 День тому +6

      Yeah, they look like a rock band or something like that with those designs, although maybe what Team Galactic was changed during development and therefore they also had to change the designs because of that.

      That name is really great but it sounds maybe more like a second or final evolution.
      Maybe something cuter like Bunnouy (kind of hard to pronounce cuz of the “buoy” part of the portmanteau. Laguamorph would be an awesome name for a final form as well.

    • @henriqueankerkronecaldas7141
      @henriqueankerkronecaldas7141 День тому +1

      That is more Blaziken level (Blaze and Hydro are concepts adjacent to Fire and Water and denote power, much like Scepter from Sceptile, but Torch and Tree are basic things and objects related to Fire and Grass). I would say something like Brookit, combining Brook (a small stream) and Kit (young rabbit) fits this first stage and also follows the two syllable rule of Mud/kip, Tree/cko, and Tor/chic. So we have Brookit, ?, and then Hydrabbit

  • @lordvexacus6011
    @lordvexacus6011 День тому +76

    Actually, Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour are Pokémon whose designs are based on the Three Wise Monkeys: Pansage representing "speak no evil", Pansear representing "hear no evil", and Panpour representing "see no evil" and Japanese Delinquents. The designs of their evolved forms imply that the three Pokémon failed in their assigned Wise Monkey roles. Simisage is patterned after Yankiis, who are known to be foul-mouthed and rude. Simisear's design is based on a bosozoku, who make loud noise by removing the mufflers on their motorcycles. Simipour is modeled after a kogal, who value their appearance more than anything else. Simisage, Simisear, and Simipour each represent a different subset of them. Simisage has the yankii pompadour and foul temperament. Simisear is bosozoku, as shown by its fingerless glove markings on its hands, the collar of fur on its neck giving it the appearance of wearing a jacket, and its hands reach out to grab invisible handles bars as if it's on a motorcycle. And Simipour is all dolled up like a kogal would-be.

    - Wash Rotom is a topload washing machine. That’s how some washing machines in Japan look like.

    @carito3293 День тому +10

    Call me crazy, but the rock dragon gives me Druddigon vibes. Even if the pokemon itself isn't revealed to be dragon type, it is very much so a dragon pokemon. Also the design is super spikey and edgy. But the thing that really hits me as Druddigon is the spikes behind the neck resembling Druddigon's head and the pose being a better-postured version of Druddigon in its official art and the gen 5 sprite. Could be wrong, but that's my guess (though it i much cooler than what we got, and I even actually like Druddigon)

    For the water starter Bunny, yeah, it obviously got turned into Scorbunny, however, i can also see it having heavily inspired Buneary here.
    ngl, i prefer the beta Treecko over regular Treecko.
    The gen 5 dino looking thing absolutley served as inspiration for Baxcalibur.
    Looking at the Gen 3 beta mons, i can see some Pokemon in later gens that were supposed to come out in gen 3.
    Lets look at the top row, the bear like creature. That 100% inspired Beartic, but not only Beartic, it also have Pink/Purple lines... so it might have served as inspiration for Mienfoo/Mienshao too.
    Top row, the Snake - Snivy line.
    Second Row, the Yeti... Abomasnow.
    Second row - Hippopotas (Hippo), but i can also see some Snom in it as well.
    Second row - 2 spaces apart from the Hippo - Beta Happiny perhaps?
    Creature next to the cactus with the green hair > Mareanie line.
    Interesting notice as well is that we have Simisear and Simipour there, but not Simisage... maybe they were supposed to be a duo at first before they came to the conclusion they could do a trio with them covering the starter triangle.
    People speculating beta Rayquaza... nah... its probably supposed to be a beta Milotic.

    Not happy that this is how we get new Pokémon news. Not blaming you for anything Hoops. Just the hype over this leak I feel encourages hacking, which real people's lives have been negatively impacted by with the amount of sensitive information of individual employees that was released.
    That being said, this is absolutely fascinating history of the development of Pokémon and the stories we love, that we would have probably never gotten to see.

    That og simipour sprite despite being much more similar to its final design is also clearly restaurant/food theme. The belly fur looks like an apron and instead if waving he's posing his hand like he's holding up a tray. He's a waiter!
    Also, that OG rotom wash was most likely just designed after a top loading washing machine instead of a front loading one. The hose and the plug definitely say still a washing machine, not a sink. I wonder if they also noticed the toilet similarity and thats what motivated them to change it.

  • @danielmalinen6337
    @danielmalinen6337 День тому +1

    I didn't expect HnH to cover the Teraleak on his channel. But I have to say that the concept art they did for the third generation reboot is interesting, especially the dog, early Cacturne and stone abomination. They apparently intended to take Pokemon in a more edgier and darker Monster Hynter style direction, but in the end decided to stick with their own Pokemon style. And perhaps the reason for copying the Monster Hunter style would have been that the Monster Hunter series was popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s and a competitor to Pokemon. But the leaked concept art can also be interpreted as mimicking the style of Digimon, another early competitor to Pokemon. But if Pokemon had been rebooted in that planned style, the series would look much different than it does today.

    I always think about an alternate universe where the Pokémon we have are beta designs and these are the ones we have. Also some of these all look like JRPG random spawns. I know Pokémon takes inspiration from Dragon Quest and you can really see it here.

    Really cool to see that Giratina got it's design right from the start (it's my favorite Legendary ever), also Absol's original design looks interesting, but final design is indeed better (another huge favorite of mine). Overall these beta designs look cool, but the final ones are better. I'm very happy that we did NOT get the beta Cubchoo though, Cubchoo is already one of the lesser designs and that beta design doesn't do any good for it either.

    So based on the betas, Scrafty, Togedemaru, Crustle, Snover (potentially abomasnow as well but was a yeti instead of a tree at the time), Mareanie & Ferroseed (potentially same evolutionary line due to placement proximity), Beartic, and Vespiquen all could have been gen 3 pokemon in a different universe, and Tapu Fini, Pecharunt, Polteageist, Clawf, Floette, Primarina, Phantump, and Malamar all had signs of being worked on but the similarities aren't enough to say for certain those pokemon were going to be them. Interesting. I think the pokemon I would have wanted to see get made the most are those flask fish. For some reason I really like em.
