Massive earthquakes are happening all around the globe causing a tremendous loss of human and animal lives then tsunamis happened. After all of those events, some sort of interdimensional portals suddenly appeared on certain parts of earth in the visage of huge surface cracks and ruptures, like fault lines splitting countries and continents, on the earth's surface, products of the earthquakes. Then they appeared out of the portals, the pokemons. After 50 years, the appearance of earth is now quite different from that of it's former self, continents are split, and some countries are either split or severely damaged or sunk, only few governments are existing, barely 500 million humans are left trying to survive this new damaged world full of these mysterious, mythical and magical creatures that could either kill them or help them survive.

I imagine the Charmander family's fire attacks are made by a kind of flammable venom. It's either less potent as a Charmander, or they simply don't have great command over it yet, so you get weaker attacks like Ember, and their venom gets progressively more potent as a Charmeleon and Charizard, so you see more powerful attacks like Flamethrower and Fireblast. I figure since most actual reptile bites are infectious due to filth, corrosive saliva, or actual venom, that would kinda follow through to these guys haha

Legends: Arceus was close

8:30 I like how creative the depiction is, the ears of the bat sorta like Gastly's eyes

Because Squirtle has a coiled up tail in it’s normal design, I like how the realistic version has that tail uncoiled to allow for better swimming.

Just imagine if mother nature just said:"It's evolving" And also I do wonder how long the evolution takes since real world evolution takes 100's of thousands or even millions of years

Imagining these realistic Pokemons saying their names in human like language is kinda terrifying

Iirc in his description they don't. They make animal sounds (like in the video games)

I've always loved his interpretation of the Eevees and Reshiram!

These are honestly amazing.

Yoooooooooooooooo the Gengar line as bats, with the ballooning gastly and translucent wings for haunter is absolutely the sickest thing ever

Fun fact: the original Nidoking is based on the Godzilla kaiju Baragon

Rydon probably too.

The Gastly and Haunter ones are mind blowing. Nintendo should canonize this interpretation of them haha

The Groudon one reminds me of that time someone made a "what if", pseudo-documentary style film where they "find" a dragon preserved in ice and spend the rest of the "documentary" alternating between scientifically explaining how they worked (example, "their fire breath and flight relied on bladders filled with hydrogen") and showing CGI of various types of dragon at different points in Earth's time (starting with the Cretaceous period, and ending with their extinction at the hands of Medieval humans). I think said pseudo-documentary was called Dragons a Fantasy Made Real.

Why is no one mentioning ghastly's ears looking like the eyes?? It's AWESOME

I remember looking at this guy's art years ago and loving it, and I still love it today.

I like how the ghost pokemon’s are actually bat’s, it’s really clever and creative.

Live action, more adult (rated R) movie with these concepts would be absolutely insane!!

The ears on the bat-like Gastly also mimic the silhouette of the eyes, which was a GENIUS way to keep the design recognisable beyond just purple floating ball

I've always seen Palmers work as being foremost about Turing Pokémon into bizarre version of normal day animals with realism taking a slight backseat (in a good way). I absolutely adore his work and I would have never imagined a video like this would be made on him. I also can't believe that he worked on the detective Pikachu movie, I honestly have no idea how I could have forgotten that lol.

The combination of your editing skills/enthusiastic explanation and his outstanding illustrations made for a very interesting video. I'll be definitely waiting for a second part!

I think we went from Pokemon to Monster Hunter, this is awesome

I am at a loss for words how beautiful every single one of these illustrations are. My brain is turning into jelly.

I would love to see a more real life version of golisopod, my favourite Pokémon 🗿

It’s an isopod…just bipedal? And a lot larger?

I wished we got a whole line of promo cards like this from this dude. I buy those.

This was very interesting. Loved it!

I believe for Scyther he made a wrong re-imagination, it had to be more like an insect than a dino

I'd think garchomp would be more of a semi-aquatic cause of its tail design, maybe more similar to a crocodile

As a ground type it is weak to water. Garchomp was always nonsensical to begin with though. Take a hammerhead shark smash a raptor into it, make it ground type and weak to water and then depict it flying without any technical ability to do so.

I’ve been a fan of this creators work for years. I absolutely love how thoroughly the mix in their Pokémon to the point where most people wouldn’t even fully notice the ones found in the picture. Like how there’s ninjasks around the venusaur as well as their sheddings (shedinja) and the Bulbasaur is eating a nincada. Charmander is carrying a caterpie in its mouth and there’s a staryu on Blastoises arm as well as a few tynamo. I still remember when he got hired for detective Pikachu and I’m so glad he was it just made the movie designs all that better.

While I love Venasaur as my harboured favourite of the Kantrinians, the thought in real life of its' Vine Whip either splitting me in half across Lavender Town or shattering my insides is terrifying

So realistic. Yet so awesome!

I’d like to imagine The Snivy line becoming more carnivorous as they evolve, with Serperior bing a full on Carnivore whilst Snivy bing a Herbivore. That’s if you look at them in the wild, but out in the place called “Captivity“ it is a lot different, since you can force a full on Carnivore to become a Herbivore. I also imagine that a Charmander can eat a Magikarp, while it is fishing with its parents at the closest river near its home cave. Tho, until we can get a full on Pokémon food chain, I don’t think this opinion will ever be fact, speaking of which, I’d like to see a Pokémon food chain, where each and every Pokémon is put in a food chain just like the real world food chain, and to make things less complex, it’s only will take place on the wild, there, done 😎

Magikarp is canonically eaten by Pidgeot, who snatch it out of the air when it splashes. Pidgeys also eat Caterpies, Chandelures eat souls, and Sandeghast & Swalot eat everything they encounter.

@@pistincup352 That would mostly depend on things. We can assume Totadile is a carnivore, and that Cynaquil is an herbivore, based on the animals they're inspired by. Any Pokémon MADE of rock or steel would have to be getting that material from somewhere, and Onix & Aron are known to eat rocks and steels respectively. Poison-types either make their own poison, or eat OTHER poisonous pokémon and absorb the toxins. Some poisonous frogs for example eat toxic bugs and fruits, which causes the poison to build up in their blood. Zubat likely makes its own venom, but Trubbish gains its poison from the rotten garbage it eats. Ursaring is a bear, so it likely eats both fruits and meat. Wabbofett lives in caves, so perhaps it eats cave moss or fungus?

Honestly, I don't get why Arcanine had to get feline features. Personally we had 3 dogs who had such so huge manes a lesser male lion's. They were brothers from a bedding of nine puppies. They were all glorious, huge members of their species, all of them lived long and healthy lives on our farm. Their father was a Kuvasz, their mother was a Newfoundland dog. I miss them so much, since the last of them died nearly 10 years ago. Personally, Scyther is my favourite. It's reimage looks beautiful! :D

Usually I'm not too fan of anime/cartoon stuff getting to realistic, but these look really cool Nice work
