Never really thought about it, but bug type works quite well for a fourth starter, it's weak against fire and strong against grass, and neutral to water. Particularly works in Gen 1, weak to Charizard's flying and fire, and strong against Venusaur's Grass and Poison (under the Gen 1 match-ups)

Not really. It makes the bug type balanced, but it unbalances the other types. grass has two weaknesses and fire has two strengths. It would be better for the fourth type to be normal. It would have no weaknesses and no strengths.

Honestly, steel strengthens both fire and water while making grass weaker, so yeah, too much imbalance.

Jestibear gives me life. Also Gen 9 DID actually introduced a move that is just telling a bad joke--Chilly Reception--so that's even more fitting. For a signature move i could see one combining the effects of Follow Me and Recover--putting itself in the center of attention then eat the food they throw at it, making it be a bulky support Pokémon.

I was thinking of a new move for it "comedic flop" it would work like magnatude, since you never know how a joke will land. A magnatude 10 would deal 100 damage to the opponent (emotional damage) and a magnatude 1 would heal 100hp (from the berries thrown for its bad joke) every magnatude in between would do a combination of healing and damage so a magnatude 5 would be base power 50 and heal 50hp.
How is there little to no talk at all about the 4th sinnoh starter?😮 I felt and feel as though the design was the most realistic of the bunch, definitely my favorite by far 🎉🎊

For the Gordon Ramsay Pokémon, maybe it’s signature ability could be “Expert Chef.” If it’s given a berry to hold, it takes two turns to consume it once activated, but it’s effect is doubled. So if it was given a Sitrus berry, it wouldn’t activate until the turn after it goes below half health, but it would heal twice as much.
For Cowly, I feel like it could've also been a Necromancer class, which is typically reserved as a class for dark or evil characters in RPGs, often times the main antagonist, so it'd be capable of raising onstructs made from clay and sediment, and infused with the souls that it steals away from other Pokemon it defeats, which would play into its signature move Horde Rush, a ghost type move that summons a substitute to protect it on the first turn, and if the substitute is not broken by an attack, on the second turn it will deal damage to the opponent, dealing more damage based on how many Pokemon are left still able to battle on your opponent's team, as well as dealing less damage based on how much damage the substitute took without breaking

For the Gordon Ramsay's Pokemon a signature move could be "Taste Test". If the opponent Pokemon is an 'ingredient' Pokemon the move does a fixed amount of damage the taste test while healing the user a small amount, and if the Pokemon isn't an ingredient type after the fixed damage taste test since it's bad the user yells at or makes the Pokemon eat the bad dish possibly causing food poisoning or being paralyzed!

I think some of them look out of place when compared to the other 3 starters, but overall, these look good, especially paldea. I love how the bear's final evolution has like red on the left side of his face, looks cool
I like the Norse-inspired Starter for Gen 4, as I am a Norseman, but I also think Egyptian Mythology could work as it is, in my opinion, part of the big 3 Myths, Greek, Norse and Egyptian.
Love the Thor goat so much! Super proud of that design and all of the others, hope everyone enjoy them

The second gen pokemon being a dinosaur gave me an idea. It'd be cool if there was a generation of Pokemon where the starters you choose from are actually "Fossil Pokemon" right? But instead of having the second typing of Rock like all fossils do, they were able to "improve the process" of reviving fossil pokemon and they were able to keep their "original typings". This is cool for three reasons: 1. Its a unique experience to say you're starting with a fossil type pokemon. Perhaps you are given a temporary pokemon to help protect you while helping a professor try to recover some fossils, whatever the region's basic bird or rodent pokemon is. Then once you get those fossils the professor allows you to choose one of them to be your starter. 2. This opens them up for doing variants of all the fossil pokemon. "True species" or something idk. And then if they wanted they could open it up to player preference whether they want pokemon to keep their rock typing or not in future games maybe. 3. It could be a cool tie in with pokemon Scarlet and Violet, basically implying that the tech that was created by the professor of those games was repurposed for fossil revival.
I always wondered what if GameFreak had added enough Pokemon in each generation (from gens 1 - 5) for it to be possible to make full teams of a certain type? And what if they were designed so that they could gain the newer types introduced later on? Like a cute looking two stage dragon type gaining the fairy type.
Jestebear's signature ability could be "Wise Crack". It'd make it immune to status moves like attract, Scary Face, Mean Look, Growl and so on as it'd be so caught up in it's own bad jokes it wouldn't notice any responses other than the tomato berries 😂
This was such a fun idea! Seriously some of the best concepts and art design I’ve seen in a while. The Sinnoh goat and Paldean bear are my favorites. Thanks for this!
honestly this was one of the last videos i watched of yours because of the over used title but this is way more unique than the other videos ive seen that use pokemon that are already in the game. love it!
For Jestibear, I think it's signature move could also work similar to Bug Bite. If the enemy has a held berry, Jestibear gets that berry thrown at it instead and takes its effect, for example, a thrown Cheri Berry would cure its paralysis if it was able to move through it or a thrown Chesto Berry wakes it up if the move was called via Sleep Talk. Also I wanna assume it's a Psychic-Type move as that seems appropriate. My D&D group always joke that bad puns deal Psychic Damage.
11:12 Wait a minute... Disigueye is the hero, Incineroar is the villain, and primarina is the damsel in distress. IS THAT A MARIO REFERENCE!? Edit:I mean... Mario is the hero, Bowser is the villain, and peach is the damsel in distress.
Not to be controversial but I think The Bipedal starters are fine. Just throw in a quadrupedal one in that game as well and every game the extra can switch between the two types of standing
Jestabear would be really cool. Also, potentially, the first Pokemon in the games that can speak like a human. I know there's Chatot, but Chatot's just a parrot, it doesn't understand what it says, Jestabear would
Jestebear could have an ability called "Beary good" where if its holding a berry, its damage is increased and unnaffected by mental moves like attract and taunt.

So creative this was a great idea. Next video would be cool if you could turn starters into a different region mon. Like they did with hissuian mons

I find it hilarious how the middle stages are just real Pokémon. Also, I have an idea for Cubook. I’m going to call it Cooking Rage. If it holds a berry that would lower its stats or deal status conditions, it would throw it like Fling. Berries like Oran and Sitrus could raise attack by 1 stage.

Great video, great fan Pokémon. But I do have a problem with the fact that all of the 4th starters are all different types, it doesn't seem right to me that the other three are all the same type, but the 4th once isn't. Sure you could say that the 4th one will always be the wild card. But I think the 4th starter would be more believable, if they shared the same type across the generations.
@Dougbro1
Жыл бұрын
Fair, but I think the wild card type allows for the most creativity as opposed to being locked into one type. A lot of these bonus concepts rely on diverse typings. The point isn’t to be believable so much as it is to be creative while also sticking to the themes of the other regional starters.

@@Dougbro1 tbh, it becoming part Steel as a Normal starter probably the worse Dual typing it can get. Its Quad weak to Emboar, but also weak to other Fighting and Fire types, as well as weak to Ground types. In Unova, being weak to Fighting and Ground at the same time is detrimental, due to the majority of the FIghting and Ground mons in the game. So not many people are gonna use it regardless because of that... Lillipup line is way better to use overall (Its only weakness being Fighting and its not even a quad weaknesses. So a Doggo starter is gonna overshadow Lillipup line due to it being a starter, which leads to Lillipup not getting a fair chance making it absolete.

@@nickdentoom1173 Perhaps it could get a movepool and stats to make up for it, and it could become a better Special attacker while Lillipup’s line is physical. Plus “Lillipup becoming obsolete” relies on the assumption that none of the other starters are ever chosen instead. However, all of this seems to be missing the point of creating all of these to begin with. The point is to play with concepts, not make the next metagame-breaking Pokemon
SO GLAD THAT THERE'S MORE OF THIS I really do want more poketubers to create more of stuff like this and see what they can do with this concept. Also, I would think that the final goat evo would be able to fly with its hooves because its actually walking on electrons, quite like how goats can traverse in impossible inclines.

I love this video keep it up dobbs
For Galar, why not base the 4th starter off of Rowan Atkinson? Possible typings: - Electric due to the two scenes in Mr. Bean where his mere presence caused TV Static - Grass because, well, Mr. BEAN. Need I say more? - Bug in honor of Man Vs Bee, and Mr. Bean's encounter with that bee
So glad you gave then their final evos too. Seen concepts like this before that only did the first stage which was disappointing.

A custom ability for the Ramsey lion could be: Whenever this pokemon is damaged by a fire move, it heals all status conditions. Basically, if food is cooked properly, it becomes safe to eat. Not sure what to call it. Maybe "Maillard". It's a more versatile version of Well Baked Body. Though, it could get that also. Alternatively it could have "Deglaze", which is the same as "Maillard", but for water type attacks.
Nice concept! My favorite of the bunch would be the alolan one, and the Sinnoh starter would be the next.

To be clear, I'm using ChatGPT for punctuation. Any facts I state, I know; I'm just bad with punctuation. Sigh. But where, yes, volcanoes didn't help anything. Most of the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions were caused by, well, the meteor. After the meteor hit, all the debris that got ejected into space came back down into Earth's atmosphere, heating the Earth's surface to be around the same temperature as a gas oven for a couple of hours. So, no, a volcano didn't cause the extinction and the end of the era of the dinosaurs, my dude. If you want to cite the Jurassic extinction event, unlike most mass extinctions throughout history, the Jurassic one is still kind of up for speculation. Yes, there was increased volcanic activity, but also a meteor or comet hit Earth in that era too. Unlike the Cretaceous mass extinction, the Jurassic mass extinction event was multiple smaller extinctions that took place close together. As for the Triassic mass extinction, that had really little effect on the dinosaurs sense they first appeared in the fossil record around then. Now, it did have an effect on the overarching archosaurs and ether animals, but, yeah. If you want to know what archosaurs are (for those that don't know), it's the family of the dinosaurs and the surviving dinosaurs' avians, but also extinct and modern crocodilians like crocodiles, alligators, caimans, and gharial. For those wondering about lizards and snakes, they are also related to the archosaurs but in the morph Clade Archosauromorpha. Snakes and lizards broke off into the other archosauromorph, forming Lepidosauromorpha, which is made up of extinct species but two groups survived: Rhynchocephalia and Squamata. Rhynchocephalia has only one surviving species, the New Zealand tuataras. The Squamata are snakes and lizards, but back to the Archosauria. If you were wondering if pterosaurs/Pterosauromorpha are part of Archosauria, you are correct. To be exact, they are part of the Ornithodira subgroup of the clade Avemetatarsalia, of which Dinosauromorpha/dinosaurs are a part. I love dinosaurs and stuff like this about prehistoric stuff. For those wondering, I learned this when I was around 5-7ish. By the way, if someone wants to know about marine reptiles like the pliosaurs or plesiosaurs, they are not closely related to the archosaurs. Though a marine reptile, to be clear, Mosasaurus itself isn't closely related to other marine reptiles like the pliosaurs or plesiosaurs. The pliosaurs and plesiosaurs are part of Sauropterygians. To put it shortly, archosaurs and Sauropterygians are only related together under the class Reptilia. As for mosasaurs, they are part of the archosaurs, and their closest relatives are lizards in the order Squamata.
