What if EVERY Starter Pokémon Had a Regional Variant Evolution? #1

Regional variant Pokemon have been a thing for a while now, but it was only recently in Pokemon Legends Arceus that we saw regional variants of Starter Pokemon. To this point, only the starters in those games have received regional variants, but what if EVERY Starter Pokemon had one? In today's video, we are going to begin to explore that idea, as I showcase some regional variant evolutions that I have created for the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn starters!

If y’all haven’t noticed, the 3 Kanto starters secondary types are all later added types!

[ThisAintGood.]

Can we take some time to appreciate these artist?

[piotrop]

Those variants of Blastoise, Swampert and Sceptile look amazing

[PragMagik]

I think all these are super cool, especially the Charizard and Swampert! One thing I would like to see maybe in future iterations is having a region in mind for all of them (like you did with the Unova ones) Just to tie them a bit further into the whole Legends idea!

[byakko]

Charizard will get a regional variant someday. It's the only existing special form it hasn't gotten yet and Gamefreak can't allow its favourite to be left out.

[treezpz]

Absolutely in love with that Swampert design and concept. It honestly hurts that we’ll never see these specific designs used in an official game. Good stuff.

[DustyGogoat]

Great concept and video. All of these are well thought out. So many regional starters are just like “blastoise with fire” or “charizard with bubble”. Great job to you and the artists!

[thomaseichler]

Considering Meganium's Stats, I think making it part Steel type is a great idea because it adds to some of its defenses.

[mopeluso]

I thought of a Fire/Steel American Football Unovan Cinderace

[BlaxxShadow]

Loved ALL of these variants. As a Blaziken stan I wasn't expecting to be even more blown away by Swampert, Meganium, and Venasaur's designs in particular. All of these were fun to see and learn about. Would love to see the others!

[isabelhunt]

That feraligatr design is crazy! Love that the design on its stomach is a face as well

[Theartistblock]

Amazing designs. I love vids like these from you. They're always a home run buddy

[robbymanable]

Here are some ideas I have for Regional Variants for Starters:
Venusaur: Grass/Flying and the flower on its back turns into helicopter rotors
Charizard: Fire/Rock because I always felt it had a common ancestor with Aerodactyl
Blastoise: Water/Electric as a reference to hydroelectric power
Meganium: Grass/Fairy because I feel the cherry blossom theme fits it better
Feraligatr: Water/Dragon to make it look more monstrous
Sceptile: Grass/Steel in order to make its Leaf Blades even sharper
Blaziken: Fire/Flying and based on the Latiken fusion concept art
Swampert: Water/Poison to connect it to Clodsire

[RoyArkon]

Great ideas, especially for Charizard, Feraligatr, and Sceptile. I always had them as my favorite starters from their respective gens and I would go with them with these regional variants as well, although both your Swampert and Blaziken ideas are great as well. Also Feraligatr doesn't need any spicing, he's simplistic, and that's one of the things that make him awesome.

[attackfrogs]

oh, i LOVE that poison sceptile. that colour combo on it is SO good.

regional variant themes i've thought about of primarina and incineroar have been like, a metal (maybe specifically black metal) singer version of primarina, and a dancer (maybe specifically ballet?) version of incineroar.

[professorkauri]

Love the regional forms for Venusaur, Charizard, Sceptile and Swampert! Swampert’s new design would be my top favourite

[AngelPerez-tunk]

Regional variants for Final Stage Starters is one of the best things Legends Arceus did and I NEED more in future games.

Thank you for providing an idea for it. The Regional Variants you created for a oissuble Legends Unova game are still so peak. Regional Swampert has won over my heart,

[StickMaster]

If they where not only a regional variant but also a regional evolution like Linoone into Obstagoon, it would be cool to name them after their Japanese names such as Fushigibana, Lizardon and Kamex

[realblox]

sceptile has always been my favorite grass type starters and seeing it get a regional variant, especially one based off a really cool dinosaur, was amazing

[WilliamX]

It would be amazing to see the rest of the starters that exist as of now to have regional variants.
