Zinc can actually be made to mimic gold when coated onto copper and heated up. Much how Zincko tricks Pokémon into thinking it is made of grass it could also trick Pokémon into thinking it is made of gold.
Okay but Blissiken being a protecter of the sky... and Archic always screaming about the sky falling... I can already imagine a Blissiken swooping in to help the Archic with complete faith the little guy is telling the truth that the sky is falling and ready to help, only to fix the fallen feather and everything go back to normal.
"Zincko can use their grass-type like appearance to trick types that are super effective against grass into attacking them" The fire type ready to spew a flamethrower:
Given the fact that for Blissiken and Swampent had some dnd references to it, you can ALSO say that the overall theme relates to DnD since there are devils and fiends in DnD as well
I love the way you deisgn middle stages! Theyre always so awkward in the games, but you make em look so graceful and cool!and the fact that this time, the new designs FEEL like different pokemon rather than regional forms of the originals!
I love that they all have new names. They are still regional forms but giving them their own names does a lot. Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash really need that. Maybe just Snowshrew and Snowslash?
@@redjirachi1 They are supposed to be convergent forms. They are not related like regional forms. I'm just suggesting that regional forms get a small change, getting a name, but only the ones whose names don't make sense like Sandslash and Sandshrew. Alolan Vulpix and Ninetails don't need new names because the names still fit.
@@elmsigreen I think they are too closely related in concept to be convergents. Toedscool is a completely different kingdom of life and Wiglett is a fish. Sinistacha is just another type of tea
Would love to see dark, psychic, and fighting starters sometime too! These came out amazing though I'm actually having a hard time picking one because they're all great 😂
This gives me an idea for a game that has the traditional starter types at the beginning of the game, but later in the game you get a convergent evolution that follows the videos propsed typings rather giving you a starter from a past game. This happens in X and Y where you get to choose both a Kalos starter and later a Kanto starter.
I'm gonna comment this before I watch (bc I know it'll be great) but it would have been so fun to have dark/fairy/steel starters (i know it isnt a triangle but we live) just because they are the three types that weren't in the OG game
The imaginative chops flexed in the design of Blissiken is something to behold! I wish that were a real regional variant of Blaziken now. That design has so much character.
This probably wasn't intentional but im gonna say it anyways. Yall know how the Hoenn Legendarys are represented of the sea, ground, and the air. Same goes with the starters he made. Let me explain. Cobaltile is represented of hell normally thought to be below us under the ground. Blissiken keeps the sky from falling and is represented of heaven. The weakest link in this, swampent is seen is swaps and lindkip spend most of there time in the water.
If I chose these starters, I got some nicknames I'd go with. Cobaltile: Belial (one of the demons in the Ars Goetia) Blissiken: Gabriel (one of the archangels) Swampent: Ogopogo (a Canadian sea serpent)
this is perfect, hoenn was already my favorite starter trio, and I think you did an absolutely incredible job at changing them up. (I always wanted to see mudkip as a dragon type too)
@@PewterCityJim Why not start at the top and work your way down. I could give you some ideas. Like making a Litten into a Kidten, or a Owlet into a Dowelt, maybe a Sobble into a Joyle? Or you can skip Sooble if your not a Sobble person.
You know what would be a cool concept for an attack? An attack with multiple Hits, each differing in type and therefore effectiveness with lets say 25 base power like pin missile and rock blast. Could be a nice signature move for a legendary or mythical with an even stat distribution like mew or arceus
Omg this was a type trio I’ve wanted to be a thing! Im so happy to see you use it for this series! Okay after watching the video, the mixture of demons, angels, and dragons just feels like it’s pandering to my fantasy loving heart
Funny you mention MMPR White for the Blissiken. Considering the original Sentai team was called Gosei Sentai Dairanger; HEAVENLY Sentai Dairanger. Dont know if the artist did that intentionally, probably not, but its really nice you made that connection off appearance alone when theres that unintentional extra connection.
These are awesome. It's hard to not just nail the artstyle of "official" pokemon, but it's even harder to nail the "feel" of them, somehow you guys did both! amazing work. My only critique would be that the Sceptile and Swampert designs differ from the original look maybe a tad too much? They feel diverging evolutions more than just different variants, but that's super subjective anyway! awesome stuff!
This is actually a good idea to expand on the concept of Sinistcha. Unlike the convergent forms Sinistea and Sinistcha are clearly in the same genus, for lack of a better word. So these starters could act as close relatives of the regular versions
I need Cobaltile to be real! If you look, the tail almost looks like a tree, making it seem similar to Mega Sceptile as well Also Blissiken is a major Team Sky W
I really liked torchics evolution line, it gave me a nostalgic callback to angewomon from digimon, and how she went from a cat to this ethereal being, that no one expected.
Something ironic for the steel devil Sceptile, iron or metals were supposed to be a weakness of demons in myth. Though that has been lost with time. The fairy Blaziken is pretty cool, though. Except for the wing being attached to the head more than the back.
When I was a kid from this trio I'd pick Treeko no questions asked. As an adult I've been inclined to pick Mudkip but I still like Treeko and I think I'd still pick Treeko over Mudkip. With these designs I'm again conflicted about if picking Zincko or Lindkip. All three evolution lines look phenomenal btw. But here I find it a little bit easier to pick the Zincko line. The weapon and hellish theme is too tempting for me to pass on. And Zincko's evolutions look hella badass. Plus love the typing. Great video👍
I honestly think so long as you use the original typing on a different starter(ie how you used fire on the Treeko line rather than the Torchic line) then it still works and gives us something new.❤
a cool signature move for cobaltile: Scissors dance: Increases attack by two stages and speed by one stage, but has a 10% chance to fail and instead deal some damage to the pokemon using the move, similar to confusion self damage
I love the Hoen trio, and I'm safe do say that this trio is not just as great, but also even greater than the original! All starters and evolutions are a real BLAST! Treecko is my favorite, so when I saw Zincko, Silvyle and Cobaltile, I had no doubt it would be my favorite even here, but DAMN I WAS WRONG! I loved ALL OF THEM! Even as a big Poison-type lover, choose one of them is hard! I need these in a game ASAP 😭😭😭
Gods, I love Cobaltile! Its' colours and concept remind me a little of Glavenus/Hellblade from Monster Hunter, which also has some demonic elements with its' design - namely the horns - as well as a sword-shaped tail that it hones and sets ablaze in its' fangs and fiery breath to maximise damage when attacking with it; I like to imagine Cobaltile could do something similar, perhaps by using Fire Fang while sharpening and heating up the razor-like claws with its' teeth before engaging in a battle, making its' ensuing blows all the more devastating!
Would a dual Fairy/Flying move be better than either individually? I know that Flying Press is mostly less useful than just using a Fighting or Flying move since the combined effectiveness doesn't lend itself well at times.
my first pokemon game was my sister's copy of emerald so these guys are special to me, and you did them so well!! i love all these designs, but the archic line takes the cake for me (what can i say, torchic was my first pokemon)
I always wanted to see a variation or regional form of swampert that gives it the dragon or poison type. I swear to god, when I saw swampent. I... Just... *LOVED IT!!*
Tbh when I saw the treeko one in though since it's steel/fire torchic would be fairy/ice type and mudkip would be dragon/ground so they could be 4x week to the starter there normally super effective against
I want Blissiken and Swampent and I want them NOW Blaziken's my favorite out of the Hoenn starter trio, and I'm a huge fan of Axew's evolution line for the reason it starts off plain adorable and ends up looking badass AND adorable, like how you made Lindkip evolve
would you ever consider making a fakemon region for these three? i think you could potentially come up with some really interesting locations/concepts for them
PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MEGA EVOLVE THESE STARTERS IN A DIFFERENT VIDEO BUT WITH THE SAME ARTIST. The art style was amazing and I LOVED the concepts and designs of the pokemon. The treecko line was already my fav starter line/ sceptile being my fav pokemon and the variants are an eye opener on how they can be different and still amazing. PLSSSSSSSSSS MAKE A ANOTHER VIDEO ON MEGA EVOLOUTION FOR THESE POKEMON. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Cobaltile, Blissikin, and the entire lindkip line look so cool!
Cobaltile has turned into my favorite
Zinc can actually be made to mimic gold when coated onto copper and heated up. Much how Zincko tricks Pokémon into thinking it is made of grass it could also trick Pokémon into thinking it is made of gold.
Even in artist concept art, this trio is so hard to pick between. Job well done, Prag!
The mudkip 1 is my favorite
Im a sucker for fairy types but I’m so extremely obsessed with the Lindkip line this choice would destroy me
same
I love the Archic line; it’s cute and beautiful! I especially like how Blissiken keeps the slight strangeness of Blaziken.
I love that you can see the Digimon influence in Blissiken, I love the DnD reference too!! Definitely my favorite omg
And that's why I hate Blaziken. He's the culprit of the Digimonization of Pokémon
A fairy piplup line would be amazing
yesss
Fairy penguins _are_ a thing…
@@Enteringdullsville hahaha insert "if u know what i mean" meme
As would a poison-type Chimchar line.
@@racejones5939but what type is super effective against fairy?
Okay but Blissiken being a protecter of the sky... and Archic always screaming about the sky falling...

I always loved mudkip, seeing him as a dragon is amazing!
These designs are phenomenal. I would really love to see their megas , G max or tera forms .
Absolutely loved the blissiken and Swampent.
❤️✨️💫
Cobaltile looks so good in design, I would love if that was the regional variant of the Treecko line.
I love that they all have new names. They are still regional forms but giving them their own names does a lot. Alolan Sandshrew and Sandslash really need that. Maybe just Snowshrew and Snowslash?
Or SnowslUsh.
@@sandradermark8463 That's too removed from Sandslash. And it just sounds like the name of a frozen energy drink or something
I think rather than regional forms they could be a Sinistea/Sinistcha situation where they are closely related species but not the same

It feels very unique to have a devil-themed Pokémon not be a Dark type; also GIVE ME LINDKIP IMMEDIATELY
Would love to see dark, psychic, and fighting starters sometime too! These came out amazing though I'm actually having a hard time picking one because they're all great 😂
Fighting starter: Turtack (Turtle + Attack)
Psychic starter: Chimind (Chimp + Mind)
Dark starter: Pipound
I already loved the mudkip line, but this is A WHOLE ‘NOTHER LEVEL OF EPIC

A reference to my favorite song of all time (creep) in a PragMagik video was nit something I expected, but it really made my day
I very much love this swap. So much concept put into it!
I love this series.
You inspired me to make fakeMon
Same here
Same and a few other poketubers
I love the line for steel trecko especially cobaltile and swampent its crazy
I'm gonna comment this before I watch (bc I know it'll be great) but it would have been so fun to have dark/fairy/steel starters (i know it isnt a triangle but we live) just because they are the three types that weren't in the OG game

Archic is entirely too cute. It must be protected at all costs.
And yeah - Molly Ringwald was EVERYWHERE in the 80s.
Think you can do the Starter Pokemon NEW Types?
@@nigelwinslow I might take a shot at it at some point - nothing I'd planned to do, but it does look like fun.

Thanks for the great work 👍 😁

Once again, mudkip's line is my favorite. These are amazing reworks and designs !
Love seeing the research done to make these lines
I love these!! They're so creative :0
YOU ARE AWESOME AT THIS i LOVE YOUR STUFF AND IDEAS!
every choice is so well argued, loved every concept!
Omg this was a type trio I’ve wanted to be a thing! Im so happy to see you use it for this series!
Okay after watching the video, the mixture of demons, angels, and dragons just feels like it’s pandering to my fantasy loving heart
you are my fav fakemon youtuber!❤❤❤❤ keep up the good work❤❤❤❤❤❤
Still looking forward to the Kalos Starters. Kind of hoping you just do a full swap of their secondary typing
Never knew I needed to see a fairy type Blaziken omg I absolutely adore the entire line🥰
These are so beautiful ❤❤. And honestly you just got a follow for the uniqueness, for the design and the DETAIL. Can’t wait to see the rest
I love the reference to the zinc metal
Ghost chimchar could be interesting for when you do gen 4 starters
well thought out and great designs nice!
Funny you mention MMPR White for the Blissiken. Considering the original Sentai team was called Gosei Sentai Dairanger; HEAVENLY Sentai Dairanger. Dont know if the artist did that intentionally, probably not, but its really nice you made that connection off appearance alone when theres that unintentional extra connection.
The Treecko line, one of my favorite starter lines, with my favorite type of steel? This is amazing.
I also love Blissiken
Now I want a Blissiken after the JDF reference.
These are awesome. It's hard to not just nail the artstyle of "official" pokemon, but it's even harder to nail the "feel" of them, somehow you guys did both! amazing work. My only critique would be that the Sceptile and Swampert designs differ from the original look maybe a tad too much? They feel diverging evolutions more than just different variants, but that's super subjective anyway! awesome stuff!
I mean it’s a lot easier when you’re already using an official Pokemon as a base
I didnt even get the next starters before i fell in love with treeko and his new evo line fantastic. Really could see it in game. Awesome job.
Please keep going I love this series
This is actually a good idea to expand on the concept of Sinistcha. Unlike the convergent forms Sinistea and Sinistcha are clearly in the same genus, for lack of a better word. So these starters could act as close relatives of the regular versions
I've never liked Combusken nor Blaziken but those redesigns are amazing! That'd be definitely my starter 🩵✨️
I need Cobaltile to be real! If you look, the tail almost looks like a tree, making it seem similar to Mega Sceptile as well
Also Blissiken is a major Team Sky W
I really liked torchics evolution line, it gave me a nostalgic callback to angewomon from digimon, and how she went from a cat to this ethereal being, that no one expected.
These are so cool! Great job! You should totally do a tapu of every type after the starters!
“Zincko tricks types that are good against grass into attacking it.” When I blast it with a flamethrower, I think it’s gonna die.
God I fucking love that treecko line. Sharpness bitter blade paired with the insane and awesome designs bro absolutely cooked
Something ironic for the steel devil Sceptile, iron or metals were supposed to be a weakness of demons in myth. Though that has been lost with time.

Great video👍
Ooooh, Torchic is one of the few times I've strayed from the Grass starters thanks to Blaziken, and that loyalty carries over with Blissiken.
The Hoenn lines with different types was so good love the concept now I can’t wait for the Sinnoh starters
I honestly think so long as you use the original typing on a different starter(ie how you used fire on the Treeko line rather than the Torchic line) then it still works and gives us something new.❤
Ghost or Fairy fenniken is fitting
a cool signature move for cobaltile:
Scissors dance: Increases attack by two stages and speed by one stage, but has a 10% chance to fail and instead deal some damage to the pokemon using the move, similar to confusion self damage
that Chicken Little reference caught me off guard 😂😂
I LOVE LINDKIP!!!! You did amazing! I always pick Mudkip and it's not changing now!
I like how you made theses types look and the name and inspirations of them.
I love the Hoen trio, and I'm safe do say that this trio is not just as great, but also even greater than the original! All starters and evolutions are a real BLAST!

It makes my favorite gen 3 starter even better!
(But i still love base mudkip!)
I can’t wait to see the remaining trios! That is - if there’ll be any.
Would a dual Fairy/Flying move be better than either individually? I know that Flying Press is mostly less useful than just using a Fighting or Flying move since the combined effectiveness doesn't lend itself well at times.
5:48 getting team sky vibes
All of these are so cool, id want them all on my team
These are some of my favorite videos you do

When we get to Sinnoh I would love to see Chimchar as a dark type based on Six Eared Macaque
Mega Evolutions: guess you wonder where I’ve been-
“ descend into a hellish fiend” I looked up and my gecko was staring at me from the darkness…
I always wanted to see a variation or regional form of swampert that gives it the dragon or poison type. I swear to god, when I saw swampent. I... Just... *LOVED IT!!*
I really like your mudkip alteration. If it was in a real game, I'd choose it
2:49
"Which is not only a hit song by Radiohead-"
What the hell am I doing here then??? I don't belong here!
Maybe use Psychic Bug and Poison in next video? Please!
Trust me, many actual pokemon barely fit into those starter theories as it is, so I wouldn’t worry.
Shiny Zincko could be silverish
Tbh when I saw the treeko one in though since it's steel/fire torchic would be fairy/ice type and mudkip would be dragon/ground so they could be 4x week to the starter there normally super effective against
