Designing an Entire Pokemon Region in One Hour — Scribblio Region Fakemon Challenge

What if you were given a budget of only $30 to design 151 total Pokemon. You'd want to finish in under an hour. But can this be done? I took the challenge

[penpaladin]

Will probably do a follow up vid at some point! If there are any designs I didn’t finish that you’d like to see polished in part two, let me know!

[feckaroundandfindout]

I think you undersell your designs a lot, while yes, all of them could use some more time, that proves the point that 30$ is an offensive amount of money to offer for 151 designs. I think your natural creativity really shows! Like, you may not have liked the squiggly one, 85, but I love it. I can imagine it twisting itself into different shapes to show its emotions, like a heart, a star, or a straight line when shocked!

The road blocking bear should be called Bearicade, bear and barricade for the pokemon at 11:17

[suspiciousshadeofgreen]

7:17.
You cannot. CANNOT tell me. That the Pokémon company would not make a Dragon/Normal Raccoon Dragon Pokémon called Dracoon.

I think this is the most fun I’ve ever had watching a Fakemon video.

Also, nothing wrong with the ones that aren’t “based” on anything. We need more of those.

[isthattoast]

The box art Legendaries could be servants or retainers to the Mythical who were sealed as statues until they are needed by their king once again

[thepigvillage]

This has a stronger Gen-1 vibe than any other Fakemon region ever, to be honest. Pulling inspiration from everywhere all at once and making lots of little guys that make you say "that's nothing if not a Pokemon, because literally what animal would it be", just as Kanto feels for me. I think you should embrace the stream-of-consciousness weirdness and make this a fully-fledged region! Though, do touch ups wherever you feel like they're needed of course.

[garden_guardian]

The Pokémon at 13:38 could be basically immune to sleep. When one falls asleep the other wakes up.

[TheBHolder]

I think Foebaa would be a good name for the final evolution of the “evil mammal” @3:54, it has the word “foe” for the dark typing, which can also be interpreted as “faux” since it is disguising itself as a sheep, “baa” for the sheep inspiration, and together it almost sounds like “faux pas”, so you could even work that in to its personality!

[shiromarcelo]

Personally, I prefer it when the pokemon dont really reflect a certain region. it gives it a Gen 1-3 vibe where they just take inspiration from anything. I also really like it when you cant really tell what animal or thing a pokemon is based on (chansey, slowbro, flittle, glimmora) or just generic monsters (nidos, rhydon, aggron)

[MrSwag-zvpg]

To cut down on the number of dog pokemon, what if that "wolf in sheep's clothing" mon was actually a sheep this whole time? Maybe it's big claws could be made entirely out of wool or something and it could instead be a sheep in wolf's clothing...

[pokedexfillers]

This is one of the coolest videos i’ve seen on youtube! Like seriously what an idea!

[allgreatfictions]

If I'd paid $30 and got this, I couldn't reasonably be disappointed. Honestly, though, this is great to see someone just go full first draft on pokemon designs.

[galaxygato]

This kinda feels like an awesome character design exercise! Just leaves you with the most important parts of each design cuz there was no time for extra details or overthinking!

[Bdabear]

I think the story behind the mythical is that a mage cast a spell on the king and turned him into a gremlin, he was so filled with shame that he ran away. His two sons/the box arts became so filled with grief that they asked the mage to take away their pain by turning them into Pokémon so they can find their father(they did not know that their father got turned into a Pokémon or that the mage did it btw) so the brothers became Pokémon then fought over their ideals and how to find their father, so they traveled the world looking for him all by themselves

[OozeyDrew]

The more I watch this video, the more cool it would be to see Pen make an entire in-depth fakemon region of his own

[FrancLusaite]

Really interesting approach to design. I think you are actually way closer to the earlier Pokémon designs (generations) than later generations or other fakemons. No big concepts to follow, not trying to insert too much logics, just some cool or cute monsters with special features that make them stick out for their typings. I’m amazed, the result is great. Would love to see all of them fleshed out

[gendarmyy]

Everytime you draw them with more time, it instantly solds the concept for me

[Dante]

This is the most accurate to the original pokemon style that I've seen anyone do.
Most artists are just a little off, but I wouldn't second guess if these were real designs or not.
Good job.
