For Frogadier, it abandoned the Frubbles upon evolving to Greninja, maybe there could be a split evo, a kunoichi, that focuses to use the frubbles more, maybe a more stealth based mist ninja using frubbles as traps

Not where I saw it going to but it's nice indeed. I always imagined a split evo would be a blend of Goku and the Ninja Turtles. Body plan of the turtles but the cloudy tail swoops in front of the feet (like that cloud Goku used for flying except light blue, not yellow). It could hold a metal staff that has one both ends the shapes of Blastoise's cannons. Make it water/flying but with ability lightning rod (because of the staff)

Oh my God. Serperior is my favorite pokemon of all time. Your split Evo absolutely did it justice. I love it. I want it tattooed on me.

That last evolution is sooo good on so many levels. Really like seeing the inspiration you too from Napoleon, vampires, even the Apple aspect. And the color scheme is awesome

Aquarrior: "Err...umm...thanks!"

With Blastoise and Incineroar being two of my favorite Pokémon, Aquarrior was so cool! Such an awesome way to evolve wartortle. Flareath left a lot to be desired for me though. Its facial expression seems a little basic and it just looked kind of uninspired imo. Frondosaur and Slithereign are peak designs!

Slithereign is BEAUTIFUL! But I can't believe that you somehow didn't give the evil, vampire snake any fangs lmao

@flowerfaerie8931

3 ай бұрын

No fangs actually works though. It’s a vegetarian, it just likes to frighten and toy with others because it’s evil. It doesn’t need fangs to hunt because it eats plants, which makes it a bit clearer that its aggressive attitude is active malice and not because it’s predatory.

LOOVE that you continue the trajectory of the color schemes from start to finish!! It always peeved me how so many middle stages are just blatantly a different color for no reason lmao

I kind of wish with the Wartortle split evo that the "turtle" in the naming stayed so it could finally match up with the naming on the Bulbasaur and Charmander lines. Squirtle line is the oddball of the Kanto starters with the naming schemes (at least with the English names, not sure about other languages)

Serperior has been my favorite Pokemon for over a decade, while Snivy and Servine are less appealing to me, so I was fascinated to see you design Slithereign! Everything about it, from its color scheme, multiple origins, and even its name are absolutely imperial! I might even possibly love it more than Serperior, given enough time! Keep being amazing, and keep making wonderful videos like this one!

My biggest gripe with the blastoise line was them not doing anything with that sweet tail, so glad you added that into the design.

0:16 That transition was equally as badass as the Pokémon you made

Amazing work here. This is what the Legends ZA starter trio needs if we get a mixed set. Not variants, but split evos. It would be a nice prepwork for Gen 10 and a celebration for Partner Pokémon. This alones would create 27 new mons.

Slithereign is an awesome design. At one point, I thought you said Slytherin from Harry Potter and that Pokemon is EXACTLY what I would think a person from Slytherin would have

The Blastoise split evo was perfect. Exactly where I'd have wanted it to go The meganium split evo is a nice idea but has a major issue: it looks too much like tropius. Clearly the flower was necessary. I'd recommend changing the leaf shawl around it's body into the flower and adding a new flower related part on the the head somewhere The split evo for incineroar is in the right direction, but needed a bulkier sabre tooth tiger like body to keep the bulk of og incineroar, and tweaking the face a bit The serperior split evo is a nice change, love the pop of red. Visually it looks like it could do with a rose or dark flower

I always liked the squirtle line, so I would say I would have both an aquarrior and a blastoise on my team!

Frondosaur looks so regal but also very friendly. Honestly between it Typhlosion and Feraligatr, I picking Chikorita almost every time.

Haha definitely

• Aquarrior looks like if Gamefreak made the Squirtle line in a more recent generation • Give Frondosaur a few tweaks and it could be a pre-evo of Tropius • Once again, Flareath is what the fandom wanted instead of Incineroar lol • Slithereign honestly looks like yet another ancient regional forme. Funny enough, I actually had a concept for a Grass/Dragon Serperior alongside a Fire/Fairy Delphox and a Water/Ice Primarina. AMA

As a HUGE Incineroar fan who isn't really keen on quadruped redesigns (not a furry btw), even I have to admit that Flareath does look really cool. I also think Aquarrior and Frondosaur are great designs as well. Keep up the good work, Ron! 👍

It almost feels weird when I say I really like Incineroar or Floragato because a lot of people hate when starters stand up and I get that but to me, I just think the idea of a wrestler cat and a cat with a yo-yo are cool. That being said, Flareath is a pretty good alternate version of what we could've gotten.

Thank you for giving the Chikorita line something. Like I love Typhlosion and Feraligatr, but Meganium deserves better.

I love Aquarrior. Blastoise is my favourite starter, but this is a lot more oriented to my taste in design. I never liked how Wartortle lost that foam tail and wing ears, so bringing them back feels good.

10:24 that caught me off guard LMFAO but love these designs

Ya know, I recently had started to appreciate Blastoise more after not liking it much when I was younger. Aquarrior is so good that it completely undoes all that Blastoise progress I’ve made. 😂

I know I wasn’t the only one who thought that quaxly was going to evolve into a cool pirate bird and was disappointed with what we got. Maybe in the next episode of this series you could give it a split evolution that looks more like a pirate or a sailor.

Love the first two. I wish the alternate incineroar looked more like a panther in the night, with accents of fire (blue) that would light up. It would come off more hidden, but striking when on the attack. And the Serperior alternate could have looked more like a basilisk. Just because it is serpent driven, doesn't restrict the shape. Then again those are just design thoughts of mine

Slithereign is so beautiful. Great Work!!!

Considering how Legends Arceus sorta made Split evolutions, but didn’t alter their names, the concept is interesting.

Drizzile could have a split evolution that focuses more on the "laziness" described in its dex entries, using its tongue for long-range fights and laying traps rather than unnecessarily moving its body. Inteleon is still said to be lazy, but has lost both of the other aspects after evolving. (noticed there's already a comment suggesting a similar thing for Frogadier, whoops.)

Hi

Frondosaur is EXACTLY what I expected Bayleef to become! You did such an amazing job transitioning it!!!

Slithereign's design is amazing!

watched this and immediately went back and watched the first part! really like this series, hoping to see a fire/fairy braxien next time! i LOVE delphox, but i really wanna see what you could cook up with giving their evo a different type! if not fairy, maybe ghost? i could see a braxien evo with long, ghostly sleeves similar to how i've seen chinese spirits depicted...

I love Frondosaur and I never liked the way people treated Meganium I like its evolution line.

I’m still convinced that Tropius was meant to be an evolution but they scratched it off and decided to use it as its own design

I really love Slithereign! The colour scheme is great and it looks very sininister. The design's still balanced though, there's something cute about it that I can't put my finger on... 🤔 Also RIP to the poor shiny psyduck from the intro 😭

Aquarrior and Frondosaur are my favorite of this batch, Aquarrior especially. The wing ears can also be linked (retroactively) to Mario Kart Blue Shells!

Frondosaur would've been my go to Johto starter fr

This is sick and your videos are what got me into making fakemon

Not that i have ANYTHING against Blastoise, quite the opposite, but They NEED to bring back Squirtle’s original final evolution back somehow in an official capacity. split evolutions for the Kanto Starters IS a good idea, but the pokemon franchise is also not a stranger to the Multiverse Theory…what if we returned to the Kanto region in an alternate universe, where Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur turn into different pokemon entirely? What if Kanto region were totally different, containing SOME of the pokemon we know and love, maybe some are altered slightly, but maybe theres also pokemon we HAVEN’T seen. It could even be an opportunity to bring back early pokemon ideas that were never used. A game like this coukd honestly be VERY FUN.

Love it, Flareath? Direct improvement.

Thank you SO much for doing Bayleef. I love it so much, and it doesn’t give love… man you’re so awesome

Awesome split evos! Thank you for continuing the series=3

I really want you to make Bond Phenomenon forms for other Pokemon. It feels unfair for just Greninja to get them. I'd love it if you created forms for the other Kalos starters which is like this, and perhaps even other starters from other regions (I'm banning Kanto and Hoenn cause they already got Megas, Galar for the same reason). Basically, with Bond Phenomenon forms, I'd want you to make them attribute far more to their inspiration, and make their already strongest element even stronger (eg. Greninja becomes even more sleek and agile, so Chesnaught would have an even better defense)

Aquarrior looks like he's ready to take out the first place driver in a nearby go-cart race. Slithereign is just phenomenal! These are all such solid designs!

Excellent designs, seriously impressive.

NGL, that Bayleef evo is fire and I wish that was what Chikorita's canon final stage was. Not that Meganium is THAT terrible, but it just feels bland compared to Typhlosion and Feraligatr. Frondosaur is everything Meganium should've been, and I'd totally choose Chikorita if it evolved into that.

I feel like Chesnaught has some potential for a good split given it's rpg inspiration also Cinderace since it loses the mask and primarily black color scheme of Raboot to return to a mainly white body. So making him based on another breed of Hare perhaps as a rival Soccer player, perhaps with a different role than a striker or just try to make it less human like to make it more distinctive

The rendering in this lot is next level, they look so darn official

Aquarrior and Slithereign - those are my party members!

I’ve always liked greninja but it feels like a stand alone Pokémon compared to the rest of the evolution line. I’d love to see a design that incorporates the frubbles and colors from the previous stages. The switch to tung and a dark blue and tan color pallet always felt off to me.

I love aquarrior, it does everything wartortle was trying to do.

I perfer the first 3 of these split evolutions over the original 3rd stages. They feel more connected to the previous evolutions. Slithereign I enjoy just as much as Superior. They would all make amazing split evolution options in the games!

I always thought blastoise was lacking due to the fact it doesnt take much inspiration from its previous evo (wartortle) and alwayd thought it would be cool if blastoise looked more like wartortle as he is so cool so seeing Aquarrior makes me very happy.

Slithereign looks like a "Legends" Variant! Soo good!

0:46 R.I.P shiny psyduck

amazing work as always :>

I love wartortle and always thought blastoise's design was so far off from it--that's why I'm not a fan of it. So I love this concept. Aquarroir is cool, but I'm not feeling the spike on the shell. I also always wished meganium would've kept the swishy leaf and that incineroar stayed on four legs. Great vid!

wow Aquarrior is a really good design

Slithereign was really badass ngl

I love all your videos! I kinda wish you'd show pre-evolutions on the page when you show the evolutions though. It stood out in the video, like when talking about the color progression, it'd nice to be able to see each mon on the screen at once so we can actually see the colors and the other details you're referring too.

This made me think of something... There is another set of types that would work for starters, I can't remember what it is right now, but I think it involves psychic... It would be very cool if they used this alternate system for your starters primary types, but each mon's final evolution has a 3 way split, giving you the choice to add grass, water or fire late game.

I’m a huge Blastoise fan (favorite final evolution) but I do like the split

Slithereign is BEAUTIFUL

thick fat dragon is kinda almost broken. The only thing more broken is dragon steel. also, dragon starters is almost a taboo. I truly LOVE the design, but it's broken. Skill link bullet seed is almost the same thing, just add a kings rock. (i love broken pokemon, because they're fun to troll with, but not a fair fight.)

Isn't Slithereign an absolute TREAT for the eyes. So far one of my favorite fakemon from you, it's so cunning and grim, I love it

That Beta Blastoise story makes squirtle perfect for a legends game. Perfectly opportunity to reuse the idea.

Me: Doesn't notice the Avatar references until i look at the comments. Also, me: Hears him, say Slytherin instead of Silthereign

I absolutely love slithereign !! When i was little i was mad that in the final evo they took serperior's legs lmaoo now it really grew on me and your design made me adore this line even more💚💚💚 BUT!!!! to make my inner child happy i made my own redesign or rather a regional form of serperior. instead of taking the route of french nobility i went for a sassy model with heels since this line already has an attitude and servines legs look like little heels lol BUT IT WAS FUNN

This is amazing like always, keep it up!

I like all of this new evolutions! I was always curious about the warturtle to blastoise as was mentioned here. The wings just disappeared

I’m completly in love with Frondosaur!

Was i the only one to think Blastoise face swap made him look more like an alt evo for the Nidoran line 😅😅😂😂

I always had a soft spot for Meganium, as it was my first ever starter Pokémon, but I have to say Frondosaur is absolutely perfect!! I would maybe tweak the colors a little and make the tail longer, but the overall design is immaculate!!! Great job

I know this would take a HUGE retcon. But i have always thought it would be a good idea to have magikarp/gyarados and feebas/milotic be the same pokemon just different genders. Gyarados always being male and milotic always being female like the nido's. Again would take more retcons than disney is doing with marvel but still. would be cool i think and the evolutions together even make sense.
