This gave me an idea. You should do a Pokemonth, similar to Inktober, where you give a pokemon prompt every day. It would be like the "drawing the same prompt" videos, but your whole community could get involved! You could even highlight your favorites in a video at the end of the month

I didn't have particularly high hopes of you actually showing my designs in the video, but I'm really happy that you did! Yout critiques are helpful, I'll definitely keep them in mind when designing fakemon in the future! I'm also glad to know that you think my designs are getting kinda close to official pokémon designs!

14:49 I never really thought about that but it makes total sense. Let's take Salamence and Clefairy for example. Salamence looks like it could burn a city down but a part of me sees it joyously flying around, loving it's new wings. Likewise, Clefairy looks absolutely harmless, but I could definitely see it slapping somebody around a bit. They both strike this balance of "mostly this, but not hard to see the opposite."

I think the eyelids on Mummeon are supposed to be closed rather than it just not having pupils, but still a fair point you make

[PragMagik]

Really cool to see your perspective on these mons! Some of them are my favorites from my favorite creators!

Thank you for featuring my design in your video! Your videos on creating new Pokémon from the things you’d see on your walks from back in the day were some of my biggest inspirations when I was first getting into fakemon, so it’s just crazy and almost overwhelming to me that my designs have been featured in your videos

[EsperBlocks]

Thank for including my art in the video Ron, it was really fun to see what you had to say about my designs, I will use the criticism you gave me in this video make better Fakemon in the future, thank you for your nice comments about mine, and everyone else's designs.

[HoopsandHipHop]

Thanks for showcasing my starters, there were a lot of cool designs here!!

[zachrodan]

an important thing to consider with regards to art style, and getting fixated on sugimori-style artwork: most of the pokemon cards are not in the sugimori style. I think the only ones that are in the sugimori style might be the ones with art by sugimori. some of my personal favorite pokemon cards in terms of the art are by yuka morii, who has an almost clay-like artstyle.
the pokemon card artists each have their own unique style, to the point that you can often tell which artist did the art for a card just by looking at the art style.

6:27 Mykel did a wonderful job with his Ghost Eeveelution! It's a fun concept, and I get that he was really nailing the dead vibe by giving it dead eyes. Sure it might be a bit too scary for marketing, but it's so cool that he went all in on the theme!

[AhmedHussain-juxd]

Yes. I want part two. I really want to see the art of different people and their artistic impressions

[alexgrissom]

As someone with no interest in designing Fakemon, I appreciate that you felt comfortable with actually critiquing these pieces of art rather than just saying "wow this is great!" for every one

[jackrutherford]

I designed Maskera and Monsterror, and I was really proud of the concept, so I was really awestruck to see them on screen! Thanks for the advice - I'll try it with a more Smoliv-like face and without the arms

[mykemon_regions]

Oh wow, thanks so much for reviewing my Fakemon! 😍 I love hearing feedback from like minded creatives and you did it with so much class. I would love to chat with you about my decisions and about Fakemon in general sometime.

Maybe the Unknown on the Mummeon's tail is a clue at how it evolves? Like you have to get Eevee to level 30 at night with a Unknown in your party (like how Mantyke evolves into Mantinne when Remoraid is in the party), or Eevee has to level up while in a double battle with an Unknown on the team? Which would be a very cool thing

[MaumesArt]

Oh man this just made my day, I always loved your channel and to see that you liked my Fire Starter, my favorite fakemon design I ever made, its just awesome, thank you!!

[ohcadin]

For Cottail, the major thing I would like to emphasize is to make it look much closer to the animal it is based on. At the moment it's hard for people to tell what it's supposed to be. I eventually figured it out after making the connection (bunnies are known to have "cotton tail" and the artist took it literally). I just think that the design itself needs to look more like a bunny or rabbit. While yes I know that some like Eevee are based on more than one animal, but for Eevee that's the point. Mostly I'd say to give it's face a more rabbit/bunny-like appearance and also do the same for it's proportions.

[AdeptCharon]

This is great!
I love that you make the distinction of design VS artstyle, cause I feel like too often people will dismiss great fakemon designs because they aren't in the official artstyle.

[DrEeveeYT]

wow you were so nice about my Raticate evolution! I think everyone here also deserves a round of applause as they're all so good!
