I think pokemon look more creative when they aren't all the same color. If every electric type had to be yellow ad it's main color the pokemon franchise would be awful after 3 generations or less
As much as I enjoy white fluffy designs and how adorable you made glaceon look, I believe it's supposed to embody ice itself and how sharp it is while still looking elegant, so if I were to redesign it I'd lean harder on that idea. That being said though, redesigns are a thing of personal taste, so they're all valid :)
I love the redesign that you did! But I do have a slight problem with your glaceon redesign.. sure it’s very cute and pretty but it doesn’t look like a ice type eeveelution, it looks more like a fanmade flying type eeveelution. It’s too fluffy, the ears looks more like wings and the fluff on the legs are very used on fanmade flying type eeveelution. I still like the design! But I would make it a flying type instead of a ice type
I like all the redesigns, but i feel like the diamond pattern that glaceon has gives it a more ice feel instead of snow. I feel like the fluffy white with a bit of blue would have looked more like a glaceon redesign if it had those diamond shapes at least a little, like the ears. I do LOVE the addition of fluff because that makes it feel more warm and cozy, and since it’s an ice pokemon i love that idea. The vaporeon is also cool, but i feel like the tentacles and addition of pink and white make it look more like a mix of vaporeon and sylveon. I do like the additions of the colours but i feel like it looks too much like sylveon The jolteon is definetely my favorite! That tail is AMAZING and i love the redesign overall, maybe a few more spikes, but i definetely love it The flareon is also really cool. I don’t have a problem with it’s original design, but i do agree that it had so much more potential as a fire pokemon, and i also love the black and especially the flames as fur and tail, can’t wait to see the next redesigns!!
I don't think there's anything wrong with Flareon's original design. I DO really like yours aside from the eyes (looks too... superhero-y to me). The coloring is very striking, although I think it makes it look like Rock/ Fire instead of pure Fire. Or maybe even Rock/ Dark. That color scheme would make a SICK shiny, though. Your last Flareon idea could work for a Dragon Eeveelution after some tweaking. The neck "fluff" could be made into a spike collar instead. Oooooh, ideas. Dragon Eevee is really hard to get right. I'm on the fence about your Glaceon. I get what you're saying with making it fluffy and it is really cute, but I think it should be dialed back a bit. Maybe removing the fluffs on the legs? Idk. I don't see anything wrong with the original Jolteon, but I actually DO like yours. It's cuter than the original. This is the best of this bunch IMO. I don't really mind that Jolteon doesn't have a tail, or much of one, but I like the bolt tail. I think your Vaporeon has too much going on. Original Vaporeon, while not my favorite Eeveelution (there are way better Water-types), is probably the most creative Eeveelution design tied with Sylveon. It is a fish/ mermaid, but somehow it makes sense as a form of Eevee. It's the perfect combination of fish and mammal. I think the neck thing is because they translated Eevee's neck fluff into the typing for the first 3 (all in good ways IMO. I wonder why they stopped), and it makes sense just to make it into fins. I do see what you're saying about the 1600s collar and that is actually kind of funny, but Vaporeon has never felt weird to me. Also, the pink communicates a type combo to me- either Psychic or Fairy. Yeah, this one is too complicated to be an Eeveelution. All the Eeveelutions are fairly simple.
This was exactly what I was thinking. For a single type his vaporeon has too much going on. I feel like he didn't really redesign flareon just changed a few aspects like colors. I also agree with his glaceon being too fluffy, I personally liked his left design a bit more.
I agree with most of what you said, I do think glaceon was much better as it was, didn't needed to be fluffy and all white to being able to tell it's an ice type, and it just looks too basic to me It's clear that Vaporeon's redesign is way too detailed compared to the others, could work as a new design for a new generation pokemon, but as an eeveelution ? Not really
lightning’s purple though, not to mention dark stormy skies, plasma balls, etc purple fits electric very well, and i love the very subtle deep purple in og jolteons ears, gives it a little more dimension
The problem I have with a lot of these is that for single types they just have too much going on, or are too incredibly basic, Or just don’t look like Eeveelutions at all. They look like separate Pokémon. I like all the current Eeveelutions (maybe discount Flareon but I still love him) and I rlly feel like, you did more harm to the designs than good I like flareon’s redesign but the black makes it look like a dual type and it doesn’t look like an eeveelution Glaceon is just alolan vulpix 2.0/a white fluffier eevee with a horn, it’s so basic even more basic than original Flareon it’s so bad /: Jolteon’s new non spiky look makes it look basic too in my opinion. The tail is cool but it doesn’t blend well with the rest of the design… Vaporeon is the only one thats stupidly complicated and to a fault. The different colors give dual type vibes and it just has too much going on. There was literally nothing wrong with vaporeon’s original design and though I like this one it’s not an Eeveelution, it just doesn’t look or feel like on at all, save the proportions but still.
That's what I was thinking for Jolteon and Vaporeon. I like the Jolteon redesign tail's concept a whole lot, but it looks almost awkward when placed on the body that it was. And otherwise, the body was.... Lacking. However, I really love Vaporeon's coloring, and I think the shading is absolutely beautiful, but it looks like it lost all of its Vaporeon-ness and instead just got combined with Primarina. It looks water-fairy imo. Pretty? Yes. Just not fitting.
I think they're all great designs, but some of them just don't feel like Eeveelutions honestly. Flareon's original design I think is just fine, and when you look at it, you would know that it's a fire type. While the design you've made does do the same, I think the fire on the eyes and the black is over doing it. For Glaceon, I personally absolutely love it's original design, just like you'd know that Flareon's a fire type, you'd know Glaceon is an ice type. The design you made for Glaceon IS cute, but I feel like it also looks a bit too flying type, but also I think it looks a bit too much like Alolan Vulpix. As for Glaceon's colours, to fix it, an easy thing to do would to be to swap it's colours and it's shiny colours. I think Jolteon is awesome in it's original design. Again, it perfect shows that it's an electric type, and yes I'm going to say that again for Vaporeon with water type. I don't think a huge blue tail works for it, and it's purple I feel fits better than blue. Vaporeon, yup, it fits perfectly with the water type, I have no problem with it's tail, and I don't think many people do. It also does combining a mammal with a fish awesomely. I feel like the design you've made for Vaporeon is way to over designed though, especially for a gen 1 Pokemon, though he design could absolutely work for a completely different Pokemon! And, again, I'm not saying any of these designs are bad, they're awesome, but I feel like they just don't fit in with the Eeveelutions. Also the Eeveelutions are meant to really show what type they are, and the originals do that perfectly.
I totally agree! I feel like the flareon redesign looks like a rock/fire type, glaceon like a flying type and vaporeon like a fairy/water type. They don't feel like redesigns, but more like combining a type with each. I do think some of the designs could be less simplistic but they were made that way because you didn't have a lot of possibilities on the gameboy etc, and I feel like that just wasn't taken into account here. That's why they either don't feel like eeveelutions (like jolteon) or are just eevee type combinations. Imo you could give flareon some more details, change glaceons colors and maybe the pattern, give jolteon a cool tail and change vaporeons neck crest, but thats all i would do. Especially since i wouldn't feel the need to redesign vaporeon anyway.
Here’s my opinions on the redesigns, because why not? Flareon: I definitely think he got a good glow up! I like his original design, but I think he definitely deserves the remake because he’s too simple. Glaceon: This might be my least favorite because there is too much white and it’s just… simple… I guess, I just don’t like it. The original looks cool, and I agree, the colors are meh and the tail is fracking flat, but I think the redesign could use some work. Jolteon: Ngl, the redesign is sick. But, I like the old one better because it has more dimension to it, but I would definitely put that redesign tail on the original. Looks cool. Vaporeon: The redesign is too complicated to me and it looks to feminine that everyone would consider it a female Pokémon. It’s cool and all, and the color combo is cool, but it’s not my favorite.
Also I personally really like the one dimensional tail on Glaceon. I also like that Jolteon doesn’t have a tail, it’s an interesting way to set it apart from the other evolutions.
i prefer the original designs to be honest but your work is awesome as well! i think the new designs need more lore to fit in, for example, glaceon probably is the way it is because it controls ice instead of enduring ice.. vaporeon probably got that thing around it's neck from eevee. flareon has all this fur that does resemble fire although it looks too ordinary i agree.. and jolteon.... okay i can't excuse jolteon that much, it should have had a better design in my opinion.. but i think the electric tail is a bit much, all eeveelutions are tame with their designs... mayne a bit too tame
These look like they could be official Pokémon. I love the Vaporeon redesign. Also, I appreciate the use of sound effects from Ori. It shows that you have good tastes.
@@charachoco6735 Honestly most of them don't work as eeveelutions. For example Glacieon now looks like a flying type and Vaporeon, while really cool, is waaaay too over designed. Vaporeon didn't really need a redesign, they worked perfectly as they were. Plus, most official pokemon work way better than these do.
These designs are really cool. The Vaporeons (both of them) are my favorite. I don’t think any of them would fit as actual Eeveelutions. They’re too over the top. The simplicity of the Eeveelutions is part of their charm. Flareon and Jolteon give me major Fakemom vibes, also. I know, shocking. The Fakemon look like Fakemon. Still cool, just notably Fakemon-y.
I agree on that one. It's more closely resembling Eevee than Glaceon. Honestly it shouldn't be that close resemblance of Eevee it's just a white Eevee with blue eyes and a crystal horn sticking out of it. I like the other interpretation of Glaceon better
I do really like these designs and I think they are awesome but the thing is, Eeveelutions are meant to be more simplistic. I've seen some other designs and they are way too busy. You don't go into busyness a lot and I thank you for that. Also I think you shouldnt change every single thing about them. Possibly take one aspect and change it a bit to your liking. Otherwise I love these a lot
You seem to be aminimalist artist which I LOVe. The Fakemon community could use more minismalist artists. With that said, I think your Glaceon looks more like a Flying type than ice. I agree with the color pallet, but the fluffy part created type ambiguity. Your Flareon is waaaaay better, but saying the original doesn't look like a fire type is an overstatement. Nothing will ever be better than original Vaporeon, it is pure perfection. By far the best design in the entire franchise
Hmm... 🤔 Your redesign for Flareon here actually does look awesome as an alternate Flareon! You really pushed the Fire typing with this one and it came out beautiful, those flaming eyebrows even lean into the "Fire as passion" motif for extra... Flare. 🤭 I never had any issues with OG Flareon, was one of the cuter Eeveelutions in my opinion so I can never say I hate it but it really does look like they held back too much with OG Flareon. Now, here's where it's important to note people have different tastes. I like OG Glaceon, I think it still reads as an Ice type but going in a different direction. Rather than "generic fluff for arctic creature" Glaceon attempts to look sleeker because ice is smooth. Glaceon looks like an animal that's a living embodiment of ice itself as opposed to a creature that lives in icy climates. While I love your redesign and it is adorable I can't help but feel there's two issues with it that actually make it feel like it doesn't go over as well for me. The first is its color scheme is far too simplistic, like you pushed Flareon's Fire typing beautifully but Glaceon actually feels scaled back. It has an icy horn, but that just feels like a Seel/Goldeen "fix", perhaps more ice crystals along the body would have helped? The second is because it's so simplistically colored, combined with all the fluff, it actually has a confusing design since it could just as easily be a Flying type cloud Eeveelution as much as it could be a camouflaged, snowy Glaceon. Adorable design but not doing the job it was meant to do, it could have used another iteration. I can agree that OG Jolteon definitely could have used a tail and having a tail made of lightning for your redesign was an excellent creative decision! Gen 1 tended to go with spiky fur or projections to give off the Electric type vibe but it does sacrifice the impression of speediness that most Electric types are that a sleeker design would have helped to convey. Your Jolteon design is nearly perfect, but it does feel like a small something is missing. Perhaps a bit of additional scruff on the hindquarters? Even as-is it's, shall we say, stunning! Oh my... Vaporeon's redesign could actually be really good with further tweaking to make it not an Eeveelution but as an Eeveelution it is... A bit much. Compared to the official Eeveelutions and to your redesigns your own Vaporeon surely stands out, the closest one to match it in terms of design complexity is Sylveon, but even then your Vaporeon ends up looking more complex by comparison. The pink also may have muddled it a little in regards to trying to convey its Water typing, it ended up looking more like a Water/Fairy type. Calling back to a bit of justification for OG Jolteon's use of purple, it was used only in very small amounts to act as a way to add a pop of color (as purple is yellow's RYB complement) and draw attention to its eyes and ears, an excellent decision when making art showing only its face. The pink could have worked but it would have been better off as an accent color.
The Vaporeon design on the right just-- it sends me. I absolutely adore it. Maybe under certain conditions, an Eevee can evolve into either Vaporeon designs you came up with! Like, the left design could be an evolution that's the result of a more positive environment whereas the right design could be the result of a more violent environment. Shit, I just world-built in the comments... but yeah, the idea of having different evolution outcomes depending on situations and/or environments would be really awesome. Maybe I can do something like that for my own Pokémon based worlds. Thank you very much for the inspiration Skynix Art!!!
Nooooooo the Jolteon slander! My favourite eeveelution! I do like how you aren't afraid to say that "this design is not good" though. I like a lot of them already, but I kinda agree with your thoughts on Flareon. It doesn't look much like a fire type, and your redesign of Flareon was definitely an improvement!
I love these designs. The only thing that bothers me is that eeveelutions generally have one main color, with only accents being made in another color (like espeons pearl or umbreons rings).
I feel like most of the existing designs each have their own “personality” based on their design. They have their own things, and your designs seemed to really get rid of them for the most part.
Your redesigns are lovely. I love everything , but the originals are Iconic and I really I just found myself dumbfounded when you said you don't like the designs. I see nothing wrong with the originals (No hate)
That flareon design is really good Even more if you think as him normally being like flaming ashes and spark particules while normal/Idle and turning into Intense burning Flames from its body when in battle.
The flarion look amazing and so do the rest. Though the electric type looks a bit to soft. It could use sharper edges and a bit of a pattern to make it look less bland. I love the water one although its head peice looks a bit to big and the neck piece has the same problem as before. Also the ice type could use more ice on its body. Altogether you did an amazing job at the redesigns.
the biggest missed opportunity was how Funko made Sylveon’s figure have black eyes rather than its light blue eyes, which what makes it stand out from the other eeveelutions Also, as much as Glaceon is my favorite Eeveelution, the thing that bothers me the most abt its design is how the entire back part of its head is bald lol
Hoooooonestly the angler fish Vaporeon was a missed opportunity!! Eeveelutions ARE more cute than scary but it was such a cool design and I feel like we don’t see enough of it. I do love the design you chose, it’s absolutely beautiful, but I feel like there’s already quite a few jellyfish Pokémon out there. The other design would have just given Pokémon a bit more diversity, even tho you drawing that design wouldn’t have made it official or anything. And yes, I know, Lanturn does exist, but that’s like a bright and cute Pokémon, while angler fish live in the depths and are dark and spooky. And I feel like the Vaporeon would have been a nice nudge to the fish without it literally just being an angler fish. Regardless of my unimportant opinion on this strange matter that for some reason concerns me, I loved the video!! I think your designs were really cool :)
Honestly I would love to see both of your Vaporeon designs be like both official designs as like ones like a shallow water or like warm water version and the other ones like a deep sea or like cold water version that would be sick
While I enjoy game-Glaceon, it's angular and has little "hair tendrils", I love how fluffy and snow-like you interpreted Glaceon! It's like the deer-fox from Hilda. Other than that, I love the additional colours/reimaginings overall! Vaporeon looks less "fish-type" and more a broad undersea 'mon. Although its "ruff" reminds me of a painting, specifically as it's a "cat".
I dont know why they experimented with Vaporeon design but didnt with Jolteon. Also the second Vaporeon design can be "unlocked" if you use "Dark stone" (idk if its a thing) on Vaporeon. It would be cool.
I do think the glaceon redesign feels more like a flying type! It is very cute though! I loved the vaporeon redesign, it looked like a jellyfish hat or something.
This are my thoughts: Flareon: It is a really cool design with the body looking like it's burnt because of its fire, but I prefer the first one because it shows that it is a pure fire type because the final redesign of Flareon looks like its type is dark/fire. Glaceon: I really really like the glaceon redesign I think it looks so much better than the original, but it kinda looks like a evolution of Alolan vulpix. Jolteon: I like the redesign because the original looks to spiky and I really like the electric tail because it looks really cool, while the head and body is simple. Vaporeon: I don't really like the vaporeon redesign cause it has to many things going on, I don't like the thing on its head cause it looks to big for its head, but I like the color scheme and the mermaid tail if you put that on regular vaporeon and changing the fins/gills on its neck to be different or smaller I think it would be better. (THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION SO DON'T COMPLAIN)
as a flareon enjoyer- ....I got nothing- my fav color is orange, fav element is fire- flareon is both- I am just a sucker for cuteness as well and let's face it, eevee and it's evolutions are cute- second fav is umbreon tho so yk-
Okay I'm so sorry but this comment is more well bad so if you really liked this video dont read anymore of this comment. Anyways Eevees are suppose to be SIMPLE so you can really see they represent fire or dark or fairy yeah know? and so redesigning the Eevees would be really hard especially because Eevees designs are actually REALLY GOOD and a lot of people like them. But the worst part about ALL of your designs is that they dont SCREAM, "I'M A WATER TYPE!" its more like I look like im based on the ocean and I also kinda look like a fairy and water type! So for your fire type it kinda seems like a dark and fire type.For your electric type it kinda seems like a yellow physic type. (and I already talked about the water type in one of my examples.) And your probably thinking, "what about the ice type?" Well I also said Eevees are suppose to be SIMPLE! All of your Eevees are no where NEAR the simpleness of the originals. I'm so sorry I thought they were BEAUTIFUL designs and you are really talented but they aren't really the Eevee redesigns we needed/wanted (I say that because I believe Eevees need no redesign. in my opinion of course.) Again so so sorry you are EXTREMELY talented. :(
i dont personally like these myself, dont get me wrong, the concept look cool but, wrong when it comes to eeveelutions about flareon, yes, it is not the best representative of its type, but its not as bad as to switch its whole concept around, i like the concept of fire around its neck and tail, but its executed wrong and without a reason, specially since as its pokedex entry mentions " If its body gets too hot, it will fluff out the fur on its collar to cool down." which wouldnt make sense with literal flames around it. a flareon with flame based fur woulve looked better. glaceon, i feel like this one feels like a cloud of fur, like a flying type, specially since glaceon is meant to be cold and survive on any habitat without the need of warmth, and as its pokedex entry aswell says "Glaceon, the Fresh Snow Pokémon. Glaceon freezes the surrounding air by controlling its body temperature." confirming it doesnt need warmth. jolteon. again, the tail looks cool, but it doesnt have a reason and looks off (and it not having a tail doesnt make it too wrong based offits reasons) , and the fur being more smooth takes away its whole concept of having static on its fur, as it also says in its entry "Jolteon's prickly fur is made of electrically charged needles and generates negatively charged ions" and "When angered or frightened, the hairs on Jolteon's body become like needles that are fired at its opponents", and it kind of makes it look rather bald. and vaporeon, again, it looks like itd have fairy as a secondary typing, as it feels like a mix of a sylveon and glaceon, the colors feel exagerated compared to other eeveelutions , "Vaporeon is a Pokémon that shares physical traits with both aquatic and land animals" which in this case would ignore the land animal part and "It can detect moisture with its fins, which vibrate when rain will fall soon." which applies to its neck kind of finns. and its straight up too much details. most of these dont have a reason to be, and feel so off from the pokemon world. this is not meant for harm nor hate, and im sorry if the text was too long, im just mentioning what i personally dont like off this as a fakemon designer
1. who cares about pokedex entries, they're wrong anyways 2. your being a karen 3.your right about vaporeon having too much detail 4.you are............................................. a NERD!!!!!!
*Opinions* Flareon redesign: Really cool! The fire-fluff is part of what I always hoped for with Flareon, gives it a real pop, y'know Glaceon redesign: I'm not a big fan of this one. It looks cute, yes, but it doesn't fit the name nor the ice typing. I like to use what I call the hot pink test, if you shift the hues to hot pink, does it still read as that type? Your Glaceon design fails the hot pink test. Plus Glaceon is named after, well, glaciers, if they were named snoweon maybe it'd be better but until then... Eh Jolteon redesign: I wish you did more. The Jolteon design you presented does almost nothing besides the tail, I think you need to exaggerate the spikes more, frankly I wish you went with the other concept. Vaporeon design: it's amazing!! I enjoy the colors, and it adds a lot. Maybe it's a bit too much, but that's all I could possibly complain about.
I like all of these final designs, but i feel the ones you didn’t choose for glaceon and jolteon were actually better than what you did. A little bit of complexity isn’t a bad thing, even on an eveelution. Which is interesting, because completely of detail drove you away from choosing what I think was the better jolteon redesign, but drove you to choose your final vaporeon design. How are the situations different?
Hey ya know what. I came here thinking I would be disappointed but you actually brought up some really cool redesigns. My only complaint is that maybe Vaporeon still looks the way more detailed one of the 4 while the other 3 are on par detail wise. It's still a huge improvement over regular vaporeon tho. Great designs!
I love the redesigns, but I have to admit I much preferred your other Jolteon mock-up. It had a lot going on, sure, but that's what made it visually interesting and overall more appealing than the tame, sleek look you went for. You say it was "just doing too much", but then gave Vaporeon a jellyfish hat and mermaid tail ^^; But, honestly, I do truly love your redesigns and I can't wait to see more.
I like the Flareon redesign but it doesn’t match the Pokémon at all. Flareon is super shy, sort of reserved and very sensitive and empathetic. More like a candle or embers rather than a full on fire.
Your flareon looks really cool, but I kinda don’t feel like it fits with the rest of the eeveelutions. What I feel makes them look good as a set is how cohesive it all feels. They don’t have super direct type symbology, just a few attributes that point to their type (flareon is poofy, vaporeon is fishy, jolteon is spiky, etc.). They also all each have their own unique main color, which helps distinguish these very similar Pokémon. Other than those, they stay super similar across all of them. They all have the same basic body and the same face, even having the same eyes with a few just having different colored eyes. This similarity is even down to their sizes, as every one but Sylveon is the same height.
9:50 I really really like the vaporeon redesign, and I’m actually a huge fan of both concepts! I think that the second one, the darker one would be like a dark/water type. Just my thoughts! Loved ur video, and actually agree with most of your points :)))
I love these designs they are all really cool, I’d love to see your take on the types that eevee has yet to evolve in! Your design philosophy is really cool!
Excuse me flareon is the single greatest pokemon of all time thank you very much! I feel like yours looks more like a fire/dark type than pure fire, however i do enjoy the shapes of the neck floof and the tail so ill give you that. I do like the design, i just dont think its better than actual flareon As was stated by others I think the glaceon looks more like a flying type. I really really liked the concept for the jolteon that you didnt end up picking so..oop I really enjoy the colors and tail on the vaporeon but im not sure about the jellyfish top part. the gem looking things are pretty though :3
for vaporeon you should've chosen the one on the right because rather then already having more cute eeveelutions, there needs to be more scary ones like umbreon.
I love all of these! Though I do think that Vaporeon doesn't really fit in with the others, I think that it stands out because it's much more complex and detailed compared to them, but I still love it regardless. Good vid!
Hey, I just wanted to mention that your designs look more believable as dual types. For example, your Vaporeon design looks like a water/fairy type. But no hate, you’re designs are still amazing.
Only the Vaporeons are fitting Flareon is okay, IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE MADE OUT OF FIRE, not every fire pokemon needs to be on fire 24/7... Glaceon completly doesn't fit, IT CONTROLS ICE, NOT SNOW. It should be icy, not snowy Jolteon ended up being another pikachu, it's also way too similar to Leafeon These Vaporeons should be more of an region-based thing. Based on what water is nearby, first one for lukewarm and the second one for deep
I absolutely love the designs and they are very unique takes on the pokemon of yore, I just feel like the designs are not quite... uniform to the type. All of them could easily be mistaken for other types Flareon's black body although it looks cool and I love the design trope, could easily be mistaken for a dark type instead of a fire type. Or Glaceon could be taken for a flying type. Its use of rhombus shapes to represent crystals of ice and use of cold shades of blue was clever. Jolteon lacks the speediness you'd expect from electric types - I feel like you could've left some tufts of fur on its face and hind legs to imply speed. I love the concept of Vaporeon too, going for something more closely resembling a real marine lifeform, but once again, we run into the type dilemma bc pink colors could imply Fairy type
Unironically enough almost all of these redesigns were a massive miss. Yeah they're all nice but they're all way too much for what are Gen 1 Pokémon. Flareon you could pretty much TELL was a fire type, especially since their fur was meant to represent fire and while it would've been better for it to be actual fire making Flareon completely black and increasing the fire is too much. Glaceon as a concept is made of Glace and eon. Glacier eon. It's meant to be an embodiment of ice, not exactly snow since it's called "Ice Type" for a reason, especially since Glaceon's dex entries specifically point to its *ice* based nature. Jolteon is...Okay somewhat, but the addition of a tail made of electricity is just not hitting it, as it just makes it seem more like a Digimon than an actual design that Gamefreak would give. Plus Jolteon's always seen with static energy hence its spiked appearance, it's *supposed* to be spikey, it having a tail or not isn't all that important since not even Sylveon has a tail iirc. Your Vaporeon design was just doing too much. It took away almost ALL of the charm that Vaporeon's actual design has; which is the perfect mix of mammal and fish.
I really love the redesigns! They look so cool! 🤩 Also as soon as I heard the sound effects, I immediately knew it was from Ori. I am a hard core die Ori fan lol, you have good taste. 👌
I LOVE these redesigns- your art is so good! I also like your approach on popular Pokemon, I feel like a lot of youtubers act like those Pokemon are overrated, but you actually appreciate them! Definitely subscribing!
I think the ice type redesign is really fitting & cute, the only thing that I think makes it look like flying (like others are claiming) is the fur around the face/ears and the ears themselves, I think if it had shorter, more pointed ears, it’d satisfy more people’s ideas of ice, I love it still great work on all of these ! Ur awesome !
I love the redesigns on all of them, especially flarion, but I have a slight problem with the water-type Eevee (Vaporion) I just think there is way too much going on and i never had a problem with the original vaporion, though I still believe its a great design though.
Honestly they do look good and I personally like the Flareon design but the Vappreon design, if it was in game, would kinda look like it has a secondary Fairy typing. Anyways great work and thanks for the video
Great decisions for the designs. I definitely like them better than the originals because of the the colors mixing better and designs that fit better with the types.
i absolutely love both of your ideas on the vaporeon but i have a bone to pick with the jolteon redesign because i think the original one’s eyes show a lot of character while your redesign gave off a kind of ethernal, nonpassionate feel. your art is amazing and i love the creativity and thought you put into the designs though 💛
I think I'm one of the weird ones who love all the original designs with Umbreon, slyveon and Flareon being my faves. But I love yours too! They're great.
I loved Vaporeon's design (it's my favorite Eevelution after Espeon), it's definitely my favorite from the video! Its bright colors and its design mix the elegant and the fun And Flareon's is brutal, it really looks like a fire type pokemon and not a recolored Eevee (this comment was made from google translate, in case the grammar is wrong)
Flareon: Absolutely love the redesign! The black fur looks like coal and the fire looks amazing Glaceon: There isn’t enough blue in the design and I can mistake the ears for wings. I would like it if you used the misty tail or put some chunks of ice in the fluffy fur to make it look like ice in the snow. Ice types are also sharper, but the redesign here is more round. Jolteon: The redesign isn’t sharp enough to see as an electric type. If you made the ear fluff and around the neck the same electricity as the tail, the electric vibe would be more pronounced. I’d also use a sharper head structure. Vaporeon: I think the jellyfish head is a bit too much. I personally would have kept the same ear design as the og but made it longer and match the tail. Around the neck is cute, but you could have also used bubbles or shells to complete the mermaid/water type vibe. Love the tail.
Super small nitpick but next time it would be nice if you didn’t block the sketch/lineart with photos. Seeing the sketch and Lineart are some of my favorite parts to watch! Also can’t wait to see more redesigns the colors you use are so pretty!
“I don’t think purple fits with Electric-Type Pokémon.”
R.I.P. Raikou, Galvantula, Frost Rotom, Thundurus, Toxel, Toxtricity, Pincurchin, & Morpeko.
Yeah. Not everything about the pokemon has to look electric type. The purple just looks nice.
I think pokemon look more creative when they aren't all the same color. If every electric type had to be yellow ad it's main color the pokemon franchise would be awful after 3 generations or less
I 100% agree but I feel like we should acknowledge that toxtricity is purple due to its poison type.
Purple looks good with electric types imo. Complementary colors and all that stuff.
@@cryptidclaws3640 Okay, but counterargument: 🤓
As much as I enjoy white fluffy designs and how adorable you made glaceon look, I believe it's supposed to embody ice itself and how sharp it is while still looking elegant, so if I were to redesign it I'd lean harder on that idea.
That being said though, redesigns are a thing of personal taste, so they're all valid :)
Though I can see that, I personally like the imagery of them being closer related to snow!
They literally turned Flareon into burning coal.
I love the redesign that you did! But I do have a slight problem with your glaceon redesign.. sure it’s very cute and pretty but it doesn’t look like a ice type eeveelution, it looks more like a fanmade flying type eeveelution. It’s too fluffy, the ears looks more like wings and the fluff on the legs are very used on fanmade flying type eeveelution. I still like the design! But I would make it a flying type instead of a ice type
This was exactly what I was thinking! You summed it up perfectly!
This one s what I thought too!
It does look like a flying type!!!!
But he said it looks like Alolan Vulpix
That or a snow type which doesn’t exist
I like all the redesigns, but i feel like the diamond pattern that glaceon has gives it a more ice feel instead of snow. I feel like the fluffy white with a bit of blue would have looked more like a glaceon redesign if it had those diamond shapes at least a little, like the ears. I do LOVE the addition of fluff because that makes it feel more warm and cozy, and since it’s an ice pokemon i love that idea.
The vaporeon is also cool, but i feel like the tentacles and addition of pink and white make it look more like a mix of vaporeon and sylveon. I do like the additions of the colours but i feel like it looks too much like sylveon
The jolteon is definetely my favorite! That tail is AMAZING and i love the redesign overall, maybe a few more spikes, but i definetely love it
The flareon is also really cool. I don’t have a problem with it’s original design, but i do agree that it had so much more potential as a fire pokemon, and i also love the black and especially the flames as fur and tail, can’t wait to see the next redesigns!!
i agree with the glaceon part
@Rat_in_a_bucket exactly! The redesigns overall are great tho haha
Vaporeons head in this just makes me question how it’s swimming as fast as it’s supposed to with so much blocking it 😭
I don't think there's anything wrong with Flareon's original design. I DO really like yours aside from the eyes (looks too... superhero-y to me). The coloring is very striking, although I think it makes it look like Rock/ Fire instead of pure Fire. Or maybe even Rock/ Dark. That color scheme would make a SICK shiny, though.
Your last Flareon idea could work for a Dragon Eeveelution after some tweaking. The neck "fluff" could be made into a spike collar instead. Oooooh, ideas. Dragon Eevee is really hard to get right.
I'm on the fence about your Glaceon. I get what you're saying with making it fluffy and it is really cute, but I think it should be dialed back a bit. Maybe removing the fluffs on the legs? Idk.
I don't see anything wrong with the original Jolteon, but I actually DO like yours. It's cuter than the original. This is the best of this bunch IMO. I don't really mind that Jolteon doesn't have a tail, or much of one, but I like the bolt tail.
I think your Vaporeon has too much going on. Original Vaporeon, while not my favorite Eeveelution (there are way better Water-types), is probably the most creative Eeveelution design tied with Sylveon. It is a fish/ mermaid, but somehow it makes sense as a form of Eevee. It's the perfect combination of fish and mammal. I think the neck thing is because they translated Eevee's neck fluff into the typing for the first 3 (all in good ways IMO. I wonder why they stopped), and it makes sense just to make it into fins. I do see what you're saying about the 1600s collar and that is actually kind of funny, but Vaporeon has never felt weird to me. Also, the pink communicates a type combo to me- either Psychic or Fairy. Yeah, this one is too complicated to be an Eeveelution. All the Eeveelutions are fairly simple.
This was exactly what I was thinking. For a single type his vaporeon has too much going on. I feel like he didn't really redesign flareon just changed a few aspects like colors. I also agree with his glaceon being too fluffy, I personally liked his left design a bit more.
tbh Glaceon is such a downgrade. It’s just alolan vulpix. It don’t look like an Eeveelution. None of them do really.
@@FlurrysDumpster fr
I agree with most of what you said, I do think glaceon was much better as it was, didn't needed to be fluffy and all white to being able to tell it's an ice type, and it just looks too basic to me
It's clear that Vaporeon's redesign is way too detailed compared to the others, could work as a new design for a new generation pokemon, but as an eeveelution ? Not really
@@FlurrysDumpster water kinda
lightning’s purple though, not to mention dark stormy skies, plasma balls, etc
purple fits electric very well, and i love the very subtle deep purple in og jolteons ears, gives it a little more dimension
He seems to really like fur.
The problem I have with a lot of these is that for single types they just have too much going on, or are too incredibly basic, Or just don’t look like Eeveelutions at all. They look like separate Pokémon. I like all the current Eeveelutions (maybe discount Flareon but I still love him) and I rlly feel like, you did more harm to the designs than good
I like flareon’s redesign but the black makes it look like a dual type and it doesn’t look like an eeveelution
Glaceon is just alolan vulpix 2.0/a white fluffier eevee with a horn, it’s so basic even more basic than original Flareon it’s so bad /:
Jolteon’s new non spiky look makes it look basic too in my opinion. The tail is cool but it doesn’t blend well with the rest of the design…
Vaporeon is the only one thats stupidly complicated and to a fault. The different colors give dual type vibes and it just has too much going on. There was literally nothing wrong with vaporeon’s original design and though I like this one it’s not an Eeveelution, it just doesn’t look or feel like on at all, save the proportions but still.
That's what I was thinking for Jolteon and Vaporeon. I like the Jolteon redesign tail's concept a whole lot, but it looks almost awkward when placed on the body that it was. And otherwise, the body was.... Lacking. However, I really love Vaporeon's coloring, and I think the shading is absolutely beautiful, but it looks like it lost all of its Vaporeon-ness and instead just got combined with Primarina. It looks water-fairy imo. Pretty? Yes. Just not fitting.
@@yeetbeaver6162 mhm, agreed
Vaporeon looks more like a glaceon tbh
I think they're all great designs, but some of them just don't feel like Eeveelutions honestly.
Flareon's original design I think is just fine, and when you look at it, you would know that it's a fire type. While the design you've made does do the same, I think the fire on the eyes and the black is over doing it.
For Glaceon, I personally absolutely love it's original design, just like you'd know that Flareon's a fire type, you'd know Glaceon is an ice type. The design you made for Glaceon IS cute, but I feel like it also looks a bit too flying type, but also I think it looks a bit too much like Alolan Vulpix. As for Glaceon's colours, to fix it, an easy thing to do would to be to swap it's colours and it's shiny colours.
I think Jolteon is awesome in it's original design. Again, it perfect shows that it's an electric type, and yes I'm going to say that again for Vaporeon with water type. I don't think a huge blue tail works for it, and it's purple I feel fits better than blue.
Vaporeon, yup, it fits perfectly with the water type, I have no problem with it's tail, and I don't think many people do. It also does combining a mammal with a fish awesomely. I feel like the design you've made for Vaporeon is way to over designed though, especially for a gen 1 Pokemon, though he design could absolutely work for a completely different Pokemon!
And, again, I'm not saying any of these designs are bad, they're awesome, but I feel like they just don't fit in with the Eeveelutions. Also the Eeveelutions are meant to really show what type they are, and the originals do that perfectly.
I totally agree! I feel like the flareon redesign looks like a rock/fire type, glaceon like a flying type and vaporeon like a fairy/water type. They don't feel like redesigns, but more like combining a type with each. I do think some of the designs could be less simplistic but they were made that way because you didn't have a lot of possibilities on the gameboy etc, and I feel like that just wasn't taken into account here. That's why they either don't feel like eeveelutions (like jolteon) or are just eevee type combinations. Imo you could give flareon some more details, change glaceons colors and maybe the pattern, give jolteon a cool tail and change vaporeons neck crest, but thats all i would do. Especially since i wouldn't feel the need to redesign vaporeon anyway.
Here’s my opinions on the redesigns, because why not?
Flareon: I definitely think he got a good glow up! I like his original design, but I think he definitely deserves the remake because he’s too simple.
Glaceon: This might be my least favorite because there is too much white and it’s just… simple… I guess, I just don’t like it. The original looks cool, and I agree, the colors are meh and the tail is fracking flat, but I think the redesign could use some work.
Jolteon: Ngl, the redesign is sick. But, I like the old one better because it has more dimension to it, but I would definitely put that redesign tail on the original. Looks cool.
Vaporeon: The redesign is too complicated to me and it looks to feminine that everyone would consider it a female Pokémon. It’s cool and all, and the color combo is cool, but it’s not my favorite.
I'm not trying to be rude but- the eeveelutions designs are supposed to be simple
I agree
Also I personally really like the one dimensional tail on Glaceon. I also like that Jolteon doesn’t have a tail, it’s an interesting way to set it apart from the other evolutions.
i prefer the original designs to be honest but your work is awesome as well! i think the new designs need more lore to fit in, for example, glaceon probably is the way it is because it controls ice instead of enduring ice.. vaporeon probably got that thing around it's neck from eevee. flareon has all this fur that does resemble fire although it looks too ordinary i agree.. and jolteon.... okay i can't excuse jolteon that much, it should have had a better design in my opinion.. but i think the electric tail is a bit much, all eeveelutions are tame with their designs... mayne a bit too tame
If I remember right volteon fur is spiked because like static as a way to defend itself like a hedgehog kinda thing
I absolutely agree with Glaceon. It looked too much like a flying type imo
These look like they could be official Pokémon. I love the Vaporeon redesign. Also, I appreciate the use of sound effects from Ori. It shows that you have good tastes.
I do not like my new design >:(
i havent played ori in a while thats nice to know tho
I KNOW a ori game save sound effect when I hear one
No, they are not like official pokemons, they are WAY better (for most, I prefer base Jolteon for example)
@@charachoco6735 Honestly most of them don't work as eeveelutions. For example Glacieon now looks like a flying type and Vaporeon, while really cool, is waaaay too over designed. Vaporeon didn't really need a redesign, they worked perfectly as they were. Plus, most official pokemon work way better than these do.
These designs are really cool. The Vaporeons (both of them) are my favorite.
I don’t think any of them would fit as actual Eeveelutions. They’re too over the top. The simplicity of the Eeveelutions is part of their charm.
Flareon and Jolteon give me major Fakemom vibes, also. I know, shocking. The Fakemon look like Fakemon. Still cool, just notably Fakemon-y.
NONE IS TALKING ABOUT THAT INTRO????? ITS SO PERFECT
As much as I believe glaceon is Near Peak design, I do really like your interpretation, though it looks like more of a flying type to me.
I agree on that one. It's more closely resembling Eevee than Glaceon. Honestly it shouldn't be that close resemblance of Eevee it's just a white Eevee with blue eyes and a crystal horn sticking out of it. I like the other interpretation of Glaceon better
I do really like these designs and I think they are awesome but the thing is, Eeveelutions are meant to be more simplistic. I've seen some other designs and they are way too busy. You don't go into busyness a lot and I thank you for that. Also I think you shouldnt change every single thing about them. Possibly take one aspect and change it a bit to your liking. Otherwise I love these a lot
The Glaceon redesign was my favorite!
Same
I personally prefer the anglerfish eevee over the other one, I'd just make it rounder and the colours softer.
You seem to be aminimalist artist which I LOVe. The Fakemon community could use more minismalist artists. With that said, I think your Glaceon looks more like a Flying type than ice. I agree with the color pallet, but the fluffy part created type ambiguity. Your Flareon is waaaaay better, but saying the original doesn't look like a fire type is an overstatement. Nothing will ever be better than original Vaporeon, it is pure perfection. By far the best design in the entire franchise
I really like your redesigns though I don’t necessarily see them as an improvement from the original. They are more a fun alternative version.
Hmm... 🤔
Your redesign for Flareon here actually does look awesome as an alternate Flareon! You really pushed the Fire typing with this one and it came out beautiful, those flaming eyebrows even lean into the "Fire as passion" motif for extra... Flare. 🤭
I never had any issues with OG Flareon, was one of the cuter Eeveelutions in my opinion so I can never say I hate it but it really does look like they held back too much with OG Flareon.
Now, here's where it's important to note people have different tastes. I like OG Glaceon, I think it still reads as an Ice type but going in a different direction. Rather than "generic fluff for arctic creature" Glaceon attempts to look sleeker because ice is smooth. Glaceon looks like an animal that's a living embodiment of ice itself as opposed to a creature that lives in icy climates. While I love your redesign and it is adorable I can't help but feel there's two issues with it that actually make it feel like it doesn't go over as well for me. The first is its color scheme is far too simplistic, like you pushed Flareon's Fire typing beautifully but Glaceon actually feels scaled back. It has an icy horn, but that just feels like a Seel/Goldeen "fix", perhaps more ice crystals along the body would have helped? The second is because it's so simplistically colored, combined with all the fluff, it actually has a confusing design since it could just as easily be a Flying type cloud Eeveelution as much as it could be a camouflaged, snowy Glaceon. Adorable design but not doing the job it was meant to do, it could have used another iteration.
I can agree that OG Jolteon definitely could have used a tail and having a tail made of lightning for your redesign was an excellent creative decision! Gen 1 tended to go with spiky fur or projections to give off the Electric type vibe but it does sacrifice the impression of speediness that most Electric types are that a sleeker design would have helped to convey. Your Jolteon design is nearly perfect, but it does feel like a small something is missing. Perhaps a bit of additional scruff on the hindquarters? Even as-is it's, shall we say, stunning!
Oh my... Vaporeon's redesign could actually be really good with further tweaking to make it not an Eeveelution but as an Eeveelution it is... A bit much. Compared to the official Eeveelutions and to your redesigns your own Vaporeon surely stands out, the closest one to match it in terms of design complexity is Sylveon, but even then your Vaporeon ends up looking more complex by comparison. The pink also may have muddled it a little in regards to trying to convey its Water typing, it ended up looking more like a Water/Fairy type. Calling back to a bit of justification for OG Jolteon's use of purple, it was used only in very small amounts to act as a way to add a pop of color (as purple is yellow's RYB complement) and draw attention to its eyes and ears, an excellent decision when making art showing only its face. The pink could have worked but it would have been better off as an accent color.
never heard a better intro song bro, absolute BANGER
The Vaporeon design on the right just-- it sends me. I absolutely adore it. Maybe under certain conditions, an Eevee can evolve into either Vaporeon designs you came up with! Like, the left design could be an evolution that's the result of a more positive environment whereas the right design could be the result of a more violent environment.
Shit, I just world-built in the comments... but yeah, the idea of having different evolution outcomes depending on situations and/or environments would be really awesome. Maybe I can do something like that for my own Pokémon based worlds. Thank you very much for the inspiration Skynix Art!!!
Nooooooo the Jolteon slander! My favourite eeveelution! I do like how you aren't afraid to say that "this design is not good" though. I like a lot of them already, but I kinda agree with your thoughts on Flareon. It doesn't look much like a fire type, and your redesign of Flareon was definitely an improvement!
I love these designs. The only thing that bothers me is that eeveelutions generally have one main color, with only accents being made in another color (like espeons pearl or umbreons rings).
That Vaporeon design is just incredible, the amount of detail is spot on, fantastic work! :0
I feel like most of the existing designs each have their own “personality” based on their design. They have their own things, and your designs seemed to really get rid of them for the most part.
they are soooo cute, i really like the black around the eyes of the second design of jolteon.
Your redesigns are lovely.
I love everything , but the originals are Iconic and I really I
just found myself dumbfounded when you said
you don't like the designs.
I see nothing wrong with the originals
(No hate)
That flareon design is really good
Even more if you think as him normally being like flaming ashes and spark particules while normal/Idle and turning into Intense burning Flames from its body when in battle.
Vaporeon does look great! It looks like it lives in a magical sea would definitely fit in the serie
Me, a flareon fan just standing here 🥲
The flarion look amazing and so do the rest. Though the electric type looks a bit to soft. It could use sharper edges and a bit of a pattern to make it look less bland. I love the water one although its head peice looks a bit to big and the neck piece has the same problem as before. Also the ice type could use more ice on its body. Altogether you did an amazing job at the redesigns.
the biggest missed opportunity was how Funko made Sylveon’s figure have black eyes rather than its light blue eyes, which what makes it stand out from the other eeveelutions
Also, as much as Glaceon is my favorite Eeveelution, the thing that bothers me the most abt its design is how the entire back part of its head is bald lol
Umbreons are also pretty notable
Hoooooonestly the angler fish Vaporeon was a missed opportunity!! Eeveelutions ARE more cute than scary but it was such a cool design and I feel like we don’t see enough of it. I do love the design you chose, it’s absolutely beautiful, but I feel like there’s already quite a few jellyfish Pokémon out there. The other design would have just given Pokémon a bit more diversity, even tho you drawing that design wouldn’t have made it official or anything. And yes, I know, Lanturn does exist, but that’s like a bright and cute Pokémon, while angler fish live in the depths and are dark and spooky. And I feel like the Vaporeon would have been a nice nudge to the fish without it literally just being an angler fish. Regardless of my unimportant opinion on this strange matter that for some reason concerns me, I loved the video!! I think your designs were really cool :)
I completely and whole heartedly disagree with the flareon hate.
Based
Fr
But like that crazy but who asked?
F for flareon
stop flareon bullying ;3;
( cool redesigns
I do not appreciate this slander, against my boy flareon
Flareon is so elegant and beautiful, don't shit on it.
This redesigns are just wonderful!
Ikr
Love the glaceon redesign!!!
BUT WHERE ARE THE CUTSIE BANGS
Honestly I would love to see both of your Vaporeon designs be like both official designs as like ones like a shallow water or like warm water version and the other ones like a deep sea or like cold water version that would be sick
While I enjoy game-Glaceon, it's angular and has little "hair tendrils", I love how fluffy and snow-like you interpreted Glaceon! It's like the deer-fox from Hilda.
Other than that, I love the additional colours/reimaginings overall! Vaporeon looks less "fish-type" and more a broad undersea 'mon. Although its "ruff" reminds me of a painting, specifically as it's a "cat".
POV: Your a flareon fan and seeing flareons redesigns makes you hate it-
I love how creative you are. But I feel like the original ones are still better than your redesigns.
I dont know why they experimented with Vaporeon design but didnt with Jolteon. Also the second Vaporeon design can be "unlocked" if you use "Dark stone" (idk if its a thing) on Vaporeon. It would be cool.
I love the Jolteon and the Flareon. Great Job!
I do think the glaceon redesign feels more like a flying type! It is very cute though! I loved the vaporeon redesign, it looked like a jellyfish hat or something.
This are my thoughts:
Flareon: It is a really cool design with the body looking like it's burnt because of its fire, but I prefer the first one because it shows that it is a pure fire type because the final redesign of Flareon looks like its type is dark/fire.
Glaceon: I really really like the glaceon redesign I think it looks so much better than the original, but it kinda looks like a evolution of Alolan vulpix.
Jolteon: I like the redesign because the original looks to spiky and I really like the electric tail because it looks really cool, while the head and body is simple.
Vaporeon: I don't really like the vaporeon redesign cause it has to many things going on, I don't like the thing on its head cause it looks to big for its head, but I like the color scheme and the mermaid tail if you put that on regular vaporeon and changing the fins/gills on its neck to be different or smaller I think it would be better.
(THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION SO DON'T COMPLAIN)
as a flareon enjoyer- ....I got nothing- my fav color is orange, fav element is fire- flareon is both- I am just a sucker for cuteness as well and let's face it, eevee and it's evolutions are cute- second fav is umbreon tho so yk-
Okay I'm so sorry but this comment is more well bad so if you really liked this video dont read anymore of this comment. Anyways Eevees are suppose to be SIMPLE so you can really see they represent fire or dark or fairy yeah know? and so redesigning the Eevees would be really hard especially because Eevees designs are actually REALLY GOOD and a lot of people like them. But the worst part about ALL of your designs is that they dont SCREAM, "I'M A WATER TYPE!" its more like I look like im based on the ocean and I also kinda look like a fairy and water type! So for your fire type it kinda seems like a dark and fire type.For your electric type it kinda seems like a yellow physic type. (and I already talked about the water type in one of my examples.) And your probably thinking, "what about the ice type?" Well I also said Eevees are suppose to be SIMPLE! All of your Eevees are no where NEAR the simpleness of the originals. I'm so sorry I thought they were BEAUTIFUL designs and you are really talented but they aren't really the Eevee redesigns we needed/wanted (I say that because I believe Eevees need no redesign. in my opinion of course.) Again so so sorry you are EXTREMELY talented. :(
I always imagined Jolteon to be a bit like a corgi - no tail at all, but very fluffy butt and back legs 😂
i dont personally like these myself, dont get me wrong, the concept look cool but, wrong when it comes to eeveelutions
about flareon, yes, it is not the best representative of its type, but its not as bad as to switch its whole concept around, i like the concept of fire around its neck and tail, but its executed wrong and without a reason, specially since as its pokedex entry mentions " If its body gets too hot, it will fluff out the fur on its collar to cool down." which wouldnt make sense with literal flames around it. a flareon with flame based fur woulve looked better.
glaceon, i feel like this one feels like a cloud of fur, like a flying type, specially since glaceon is meant to be cold and survive on any habitat without the need of warmth, and as its pokedex entry aswell says "Glaceon, the Fresh Snow Pokémon. Glaceon freezes the surrounding air by controlling its body temperature." confirming it doesnt need warmth.
jolteon. again, the tail looks cool, but it doesnt have a reason and looks off (and it not having a tail doesnt make it too wrong based offits reasons) , and the fur being more smooth takes away its whole concept of having static on its fur, as it also says in its entry "Jolteon's prickly fur is made of electrically charged needles and generates negatively charged ions" and "When angered or frightened, the hairs on Jolteon's body become like needles that are fired at its opponents", and it kind of makes it look rather bald.
and vaporeon, again, it looks like itd have fairy as a secondary typing, as it feels like a mix of a sylveon and glaceon, the colors feel exagerated compared to other eeveelutions , "Vaporeon is a Pokémon that shares physical traits with both aquatic and land animals" which in this case would ignore the land animal part and "It can detect moisture with its fins, which vibrate when rain will fall soon." which applies to its neck kind of finns. and its straight up too much details.
most of these dont have a reason to be, and feel so off from the pokemon world.
this is not meant for harm nor hate, and im sorry if the text was too long, im just mentioning what i personally dont like off this as a fakemon designer
1. who cares about pokedex entries, they're wrong anyways
2. your being a karen
3.your right about vaporeon having too much detail
4.you are.............................................
a NERD!!!!!!
*Opinions*
Flareon redesign:
Really cool! The fire-fluff is part of what I always hoped for with Flareon, gives it a real pop, y'know
Glaceon redesign:
I'm not a big fan of this one. It looks cute, yes, but it doesn't fit the name nor the ice typing. I like to use what I call the hot pink test, if you shift the hues to hot pink, does it still read as that type? Your Glaceon design fails the hot pink test. Plus Glaceon is named after, well, glaciers, if they were named snoweon maybe it'd be better but until then... Eh
Jolteon redesign:
I wish you did more. The Jolteon design you presented does almost nothing besides the tail, I think you need to exaggerate the spikes more, frankly I wish you went with the other concept.
Vaporeon design: it's amazing!! I enjoy the colors, and it adds a lot. Maybe it's a bit too much, but that's all I could possibly complain about.
I think you're designs ARE SO MUCH BETTER, but I think in vapourion both designs look stunning. ❤️
I like all of these final designs, but i feel the ones you didn’t choose for glaceon and jolteon were actually better than what you did. A little bit of complexity isn’t a bad thing, even on an eveelution. Which is interesting, because completely of detail drove you away from choosing what I think was the better jolteon redesign, but drove you to choose your final vaporeon design. How are the situations different?
What if these could be mega evolutions?!
Flareon 2:51
Glaceon 5:38
Jolteon 8:00
Vaporeon 10:29
Hey ya know what. I came here thinking I would be disappointed but you actually brought up some really cool redesigns. My only complaint is that maybe Vaporeon still looks the way more detailed one of the 4 while the other 3 are on par detail wise. It's still a huge improvement over regular vaporeon tho. Great designs!
I have never seen a more chaotic intro in my life..good job my man 🤣
I love the redesigns, but I have to admit I much preferred your other Jolteon mock-up. It had a lot going on, sure, but that's what made it visually interesting and overall more appealing than the tame, sleek look you went for. You say it was "just doing too much", but then gave Vaporeon a jellyfish hat and mermaid tail ^^; But, honestly, I do truly love your redesigns and I can't wait to see more.
As a Flareon fan i can confirm that was my pov.
I like the original flareon design better, i think it fits its design well.
I like these all better than the other ones but the other ones were cool to!
I like the Flareon redesign but it doesn’t match the Pokémon at all. Flareon is super shy, sort of reserved and very sensitive and empathetic. More like a candle or embers rather than a full on fire.
Your flareon looks really cool, but I kinda don’t feel like it fits with the rest of the eeveelutions.
What I feel makes them look good as a set is how cohesive it all feels. They don’t have super direct type symbology, just a few attributes that point to their type (flareon is poofy, vaporeon is fishy, jolteon is spiky, etc.). They also all each have their own unique main color, which helps distinguish these very similar Pokémon. Other than those, they stay super similar across all of them. They all have the same basic body and the same face, even having the same eyes with a few just having different colored eyes. This similarity is even down to their sizes, as every one but Sylveon is the same height.
In glaceon and flareon I prefer your designs , in the others I prefer the originals

I really really like the vaporeon redesign, and I’m actually a huge fan of both concepts! I think that the second one, the darker one would be like a dark/water type. Just my thoughts! Loved ur video, and actually agree with most of your points :)))
Yooo the jolteon one?? This one reeeally feels like an eeveelution, great job!!
I LOVE YOUR VAPOREON!!! i wiiiishh it was an official design, it looks so good!
I love these designs they are all really cool, I’d love to see your take on the types that eevee has yet to evolve in! Your design philosophy is really cool!
Excuse me flareon is the single greatest pokemon of all time thank you very much! I feel like yours looks more like a fire/dark type than pure fire, however i do enjoy the shapes of the neck floof and the tail so ill give you that. I do like the design, i just dont think its better than actual flareon
As was stated by others I think the glaceon looks more like a flying type.
I really really liked the concept for the jolteon that you didnt end up picking so..oop
I really enjoy the colors and tail on the vaporeon but im not sure about the jellyfish top part. the gem looking things are pretty though :3
Flareon redesign looks very cool! Keep it up with your amazing designs
for vaporeon you should've chosen the one on the right because rather then already having more cute eeveelutions, there needs to be more scary ones like umbreon.
Brilliant designs! The only thing, with vaporeon some of the colours were very sylveon but still absolutely beautiful! Amazing designs!
I love your versions! they came out so good!!
Really cool designs! I like all of them!
You: **Says F*ck Flareon**
Me: *WHY ARE YOU RUNNING? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?*
I love all of these! Though I do think that Vaporeon doesn't really fit in with the others, I think that it stands out because it's much more complex and detailed compared to them, but I still love it regardless. Good vid!
Hey, I just wanted to mention that your designs look more believable as dual types. For example, your Vaporeon design looks like a water/fairy type. But no hate, you’re designs are still amazing.
Only the Vaporeons are fitting
Flareon is okay, IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE MADE OUT OF FIRE, not every fire pokemon needs to be on fire 24/7...
Glaceon completly doesn't fit, IT CONTROLS ICE, NOT SNOW. It should be icy, not snowy
Jolteon ended up being another pikachu, it's also way too similar to Leafeon
These Vaporeons should be more of an region-based thing. Based on what water is nearby, first one for lukewarm and the second one for deep
The Vaporeon redesign is everything!!! I love it so much
I absolutely love the designs and they are very unique takes on the pokemon of yore, I just feel like the designs are not quite... uniform to the type. All of them could easily be mistaken for other types
Flareon's black body although it looks cool and I love the design trope, could easily be mistaken for a dark type instead of a fire type. Or Glaceon could be taken for a flying type. Its use of rhombus shapes to represent crystals of ice and use of cold shades of blue was clever. Jolteon lacks the speediness you'd expect from electric types - I feel like you could've left some tufts of fur on its face and hind legs to imply speed. I love the concept of Vaporeon too, going for something more closely resembling a real marine lifeform, but once again, we run into the type dilemma bc pink colors could imply Fairy type
Your version of the classic 3 eeveelutions look so cute omg! 😭 if they actually looked like that I would use them!
Unironically enough almost all of these redesigns were a massive miss. Yeah they're all nice but they're all way too much for what are Gen 1 Pokémon.
Flareon you could pretty much TELL was a fire type, especially since their fur was meant to represent fire and while it would've been better for it to be actual fire making Flareon completely black and increasing the fire is too much.
Glaceon as a concept is made of Glace and eon. Glacier eon. It's meant to be an embodiment of ice, not exactly snow since it's called "Ice Type" for a reason, especially since Glaceon's dex entries specifically point to its *ice* based nature.
Jolteon is...Okay somewhat, but the addition of a tail made of electricity is just not hitting it, as it just makes it seem more like a Digimon than an actual design that Gamefreak would give. Plus Jolteon's always seen with static energy hence its spiked appearance, it's *supposed* to be spikey, it having a tail or not isn't all that important since not even Sylveon has a tail iirc.
Your Vaporeon design was just doing too much. It took away almost ALL of the charm that Vaporeon's actual design has; which is the perfect mix of mammal and fish.
I really love the redesigns! They look so cool! 🤩 Also as soon as I heard the sound effects, I immediately knew it was from Ori. I am a hard core die Ori fan lol, you have good taste. 👌
I LOVE these redesigns- your art is so good! I also like your approach on popular Pokemon, I feel like a lot of youtubers act like those Pokemon are overrated, but you actually appreciate them! Definitely subscribing!
Man Jolteon is just perfect, there is no way to improve that
Flareon is my favorite, I don’t understand how it doesn’t work for you
I think the ice type redesign is really fitting & cute, the only thing that I think makes it look like flying (like others are claiming) is the fur around the face/ears and the ears themselves, I think if it had shorter, more pointed ears, it’d satisfy more people’s ideas of ice, I love it still great work on all of these ! Ur awesome !
Your redesign is amazing I love it so much!!!
I love the redesigns on all of them, especially flarion, but I have a slight problem with the water-type Eevee (Vaporion) I just think there is way too much going on and i never had a problem with the original vaporion, though I still believe its a great design though.
Honestly they do look good and I personally like the Flareon design but the Vappreon design, if it was in game, would kinda look like it has a secondary Fairy typing. Anyways great work and thanks for the video
Honestly I prefer your designs❤
Good job! I especially like your Glaceon
Great decisions for the designs. I definitely like them better than the originals because of the the colors mixing better and designs that fit better with the types.
I LOVE YOUR ART!!!! Its soooooo cute. The eeveelutions look so much better!!!!!!!!!!!
i absolutely love both of your ideas on the vaporeon but i have a bone to pick with the jolteon redesign because i think the original one’s eyes show a lot of character while your redesign gave off a kind of ethernal, nonpassionate feel. your art is amazing and i love the creativity and thought you put into the designs though 💛
I think I'm one of the weird ones who love all the original designs with Umbreon, slyveon and Flareon being my faves. But I love yours too! They're great.
I loved Vaporeon's design (it's my favorite Eevelution after Espeon), it's definitely my favorite from the video! Its bright colors and its design mix the elegant and the fun
And Flareon's is brutal, it really looks like a fire type pokemon and not a recolored Eevee
(this comment was made from google translate, in case the grammar is wrong)
Flareon: Absolutely love the redesign! The black fur looks like coal and the fire looks amazing
Glaceon: There isn’t enough blue in the design and I can mistake the ears for wings. I would like it if you used the misty tail or put some chunks of ice in the fluffy fur to make it look like ice in the snow. Ice types are also sharper, but the redesign here is more round.
Jolteon: The redesign isn’t sharp enough to see as an electric type. If you made the ear fluff and around the neck the same electricity as the tail, the electric vibe would be more pronounced. I’d also use a sharper head structure.
Vaporeon: I think the jellyfish head is a bit too much. I personally would have kept the same ear design as the og but made it longer and match the tail. Around the neck is cute, but you could have also used bubbles or shells to complete the mermaid/water type vibe. Love the tail.
Super small nitpick but next time it would be nice if you didn’t block the sketch/lineart with photos. Seeing the sketch and Lineart are some of my favorite parts to watch! Also can’t wait to see more redesigns the colors you use are so pretty!
