ARTIST REVIEWS GEN 7 POKÉMON TRAINERS — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Now, as you guys know, my first Pokémon
- 0:02game was Let's Go Eevee, but when Gen 7
- 0:05first came out, these [ __ ] were
- 0:07everywhere on social media. Everywhere.
- 0:10I didn't see everyone in the cast, but I
- 0:12saw a decent amount of people, and
- 0:13needless to say, I was very impressed.
- 0:16Very, very, very impressed. So, I think
- 0:18today we're going to have some fun
- 0:19looking at the Gen 7 design, cuz I feel
- 0:22like Gen 7 is when Pokémon finally
- 0:24solidified their character design in a
- 0:27way that just made it so charming, so
- 0:29fun to look at. Because now they all
- 0:32follow similar cues as to the Gen 7
- 0:34artwork. Let's get into it. Let's talk
- 0:35about Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon's
- 0:37character designs, and just go over the
- 0:38entirety of the cast. Let's go.
- 0:43Now, this is called the Alola region,
- 0:45which is Hawaii-inspired. We begin as
- 0:48usual with our main characters. Our
- 0:49first one being Elio, baby boy. As
- 0:51usual, we got hat hair, cuz it's
- 0:53Pokémon. We can't go without the hat
- 0:55hair. It's very casual. The look is very
- 0:58chill. It's very tropical, almost. We
- 1:00have like a nice nautical T-shirt, some
- 1:02shorts with like the sweatpants cuffs.
- 1:05Almost what looks like water shoes, no
- 1:08sneakers. These look like shoes that you
- 1:09wear on the beach. He actually has
- 1:11longer hair than other protagonists, I
- 1:13feel. But again, it's kind of giving
- 1:15surfer boy, a very, very relaxed vibe.
- 1:17It feels like a region that's kind of
- 1:19like designed for that, if that makes
- 1:20sense. This one isn't even like
- 1:22water-centric, like Winds and Waves was,
- 1:23cuz Alola is actually a decently varied
- 1:25region, but the vibe is tropical. He has
- 1:28great colors. Have you guys noticed that
- 1:30like the Pokémon protagonists tend to
- 1:32use like the glizzy color scheme for the
- 1:33most part? Like we use black, [music]
- 1:36white, red, and blue a lot in Pokémon. I
- 1:38wonder why. The vibe of Alola is just
- 1:40very calm. And like the day and night
- 1:43thing for Sun and Moon also generally
- 1:45adds to like that very much chill, don't
- 1:47think about the passage of time thing,
- 1:48which I like. Now, Sun and Moon also
- 1:51have the Ultra games. Like the design is
- 1:54cute, but why does he look so much
- 1:55younger? I don't know why Elio lost
- 1:57[ __ ] five years of his life. The
- 1:59design itself is fine. I think I prefer
- 2:02the OG though.
- 2:03Why do we have swim trunks with leggings
- 2:06underneath? I don't love that, but like
- 2:08I do like the idea of your swim trunks
- 2:10and your tank top and your backpack and
- 2:12your hat and that's it. Color scheme is
- 2:14about the same except his shirt is a
- 2:15little bit more of a turquoise blue as
- 2:17opposed to like a darker one. And he
- 2:19[music] has lost five years of his life.
- 2:20It's cuz they cut his hair. It's cuz
- 2:22they cut his hair. Like, let's go to the
- 2:24beach and build a sand castle. Like
- 2:26literally like
- 2:28The eyes are bigger. Oh yeah, they did
- 2:29change facial proportions just a little
- 2:31bit, not a ton, but just enough to make
- 2:32him look younger. I do think I like the
- 2:34shoes more on this one than in the other
- 2:36one cuz they look like the HIPPO POKéMON
- 2:38ALMOST.
- 2:39IT'S very kid coded. Yeah, it's very kid
- 2:42coded which is very funny because Elio
- 2:43in the original one was just older teen.
- 2:46Like take me seriously, I'm going to
- 2:47become a Pokémon champion as opposed to
- 2:49like the child that says that he's going
- 2:51to become a Pokémon champion but his
- 2:53team is like three Rattata's and a
- 2:54dream. They both fit the theme of
- 2:55tropical and like islander. So when it
- 2:58comes to design themselves, they're both
- 3:00on point. It's just really funny that in
- 3:01this one he feels so much younger.
- 3:03Selene, I have seen art of you that none
- 3:06of it should be in the Bible, but like
- 3:08but she's so cute. [laughter]
- 3:11She has the cute little baby hat with
- 3:14like that It's not meant to be a
- 3:15chicken. I'm pretty sure it's supposed
- 3:16to be something like a sea anemone, you
- 3:18[ __ ] degenerates. Like that looks
- 3:20like an anemone. She has like the really
- 3:21pretty black hair with the black eyes.
- 3:23Were these customizable? I think that
- 3:25they were. I like the really oversized
- 3:27t-shirt with like the flower prints and
- 3:29patterns and the little teal short
- 3:31shorts are adorable. Again, much like
- 3:33Elio, she looks stupid tropical. She
- 3:35does look like she's geared up for a day
- 3:37on the beach. The accessory, the
- 3:38bracelet, what what the [ __ ] was the
- 3:40gimmick in Alola? Were we still doing
- 3:41megas in Alola? Z-moves, what the [ __ ]
- 3:43is that?
- 3:45Oh, oh hubby just told me apparently you
- 3:46dance stupid and then the Pokémon did a
- 3:48mega attack. Okay.
- 3:50I do like the accessories, they're very
- 3:51very cute. She's like mostly leggy.
- 3:53Unlike Elio, she's wearing normal
- 3:55sneakers. So, if Elio is like the surfer
- 3:57boy vibe Wait, was this the gen with
- 3:59Incineroar? These are Incineroar
- 4:01sneakers. So, like Elio is like surfer
- 4:03boy and Selene is like we're going to go
- 4:04hiking in the jungle, which honestly
- 4:06with the heat woman, no. Also, she has
- 4:09like no blue in her color scheme. It's
- 4:10predominantly warm tones overall. Very
- 4:12very sweet, very cute. The hair is
- 4:13adorable. I would not touch that hair at
- 4:15all. It's just so adorable. I like the
- 4:18big bow on the front of the oversized
- 4:20t-shirt. I like that we get to see like
- 4:21a hint of [music] the undershirt that
- 4:23she's probably wearing. I like the sea
- 4:25anemone hat. I do. Just really good
- 4:27color balancing and shape play overall.
- 4:29It's a GREAT SILHOUETTE.
- 4:31WHAT HAPPENED? Are you guys sure this
- 4:33isn't a prequel? This is a completely
- 4:35different person. Why is she so widdle?
- 4:38Yeah, this is a completely different
- 4:40character. Like the skin tone is
- 4:41different. She has buck teeth. Her eyes
- 4:43are huge. Where did the sea anemone hat
- 4:46go? I like the hibiscus shirt and I
- 4:48really like the poofy shorts and the
- 4:49cute little sandals and the bag, too.
- 4:51Again, the design is baller, but this is
- 4:52not Selene. Same game, different
- 4:55reality. I hate that, though. In Ultra
- 4:57Sun and Moon, they feel younger. They
- 4:58feel like this is like an 11-year-old.
- 5:00And in the OG, they feel like 14 to 15.
- 5:03What do you mean there's no skip
- 5:04cutscene button? Okay, I did not know
- 5:05that your mom was hot in Sun and Moon.
- 5:09>> [bell]
- 5:10>> Milf. This is peak Islander vibes. I'm
- 5:13sorry. Like the peasant skirt, the loose
- 5:15t-shirt, the sunglasses, and like the
- 5:17long flowing hair. She's like outside
- 5:19hanging laundry. Yeah, like she's nice
- 5:21and tan. You can tell she spends a lot
- 5:22of time in the sun. She's putting up the
- 5:24towels to dry after you go to the beach.
- 5:26You're going to come home and she's
- 5:26going to have snacks for you. It's going
- 5:28to be really sweet, you know? It's a
- 5:30milf material. She's really cute. The
- 5:31design is like super simple, but it's
- 5:33still really sweet. She's so pretty. She
- 5:36has such a like nice island mom vibe and
- 5:38just very casual, very cute. Gives less
- 5:40of a you whatever the [ __ ] you want. I'm
- 5:41not like a regular mom, I'm a cool mom,
- 5:43okay? Like gamer subs.
- 5:46A ridiculous amount of flavors, 100
- 5:49servings per [ __ ] tub, good clean
- 5:51energy. No crash out, no headache, no
- 5:54feeling like garbage the next day
- 5:55because you you [ __ ] chugged too
- 5:56many. Not to mention, this [ __ ] is 40
- 5:58cents per serving, guys. It's literally
- 6:00the most affordable energy drink on the
- 6:02market. You can also try out AFK if you
- 6:03have trouble sleeping, or just do the
- 6:05caffeine-free versions. It's great
- 6:07flavor, an amazing way to kick soda, and
- 6:08all together very enjoyable. If you
- 6:10don't want to try any of the stuff out
- 6:11though, make sure you use code
- 6:12Kintimations at checkout for 10% off
- 6:14your entire order or go to
- 6:16gamersups.gg/kintimations.
- 6:17All right, ad break over. Professor
- 6:19Kukui,
- 6:21oh, he's such a [ __ ] boy. Tell me what
- 6:23[ __ ] scientist wears [ __ ] People
- 6:25who are into marine biology. Sea turtle
- 6:27is puking, hold on, and they [ __ ]
- 6:29fling their coat off and jump into the
- 6:30water, right? Like Also, I noticed the
- 6:33wedding ring. The man is married.
- 6:35Attaboy. Yeah, he's a married man.
- 6:38That's so cute. He looks, genuinely
- 6:41though, like the vibe I'm getting from
- 6:43this character is douchey, but in a good
- 6:46way. God, maybe it's because I'm Mexican
- 6:47and I spend a lot of time in like the
- 6:48beach in Mexico, in Acapulco, you see. I
- 6:50feel like he's the guy at the beach that
- 6:52sells knickknacks, you know? I like that
- 6:54he's super married. I do find that the
- 6:55very casual professor look to be very
- 6:57funny. Like the man bun, the hat with
- 6:59the rainbow on it. I think the hat with
- 7:01the rainbow on it might be a reference
- 7:03to the Hawaiian Somewhere Over the
- 7:05Rainbow song. He definitely looks chill
- 7:06as [ __ ] like he's going to just hop
- 7:08into the ocean at a moment's notice. I
- 7:09love his lab coat with no shirt on. I
- 7:12think it's really, really funny. The
- 7:13water shoes are a vibe. like Does
- 7:15anybody in Alola have normal shoes? I do
- 7:18like that we're showing off the wedding
- 7:19ring with no hesitation. That and this
- 7:21man being married.
- 7:22>> Did he even
- 7:23>> Um
- 7:25This is not in the game. This is not in
- 7:28the game. Oak's cousin. Wait, you mean
- 7:30this is not Oak after he retired after
- 7:32being almost merged by every Pokémon he
- 7:33touched?
- 7:34>> Huh?
- 7:35>> And so he went to Alola. This feels
- 7:37offensive somehow.
- 7:39>> [laughter]
- 7:40>> It's the regional Oak. That's just like
- 7:42an oak recolor. The way they grew his
- 7:45hair, they just stretched it out from
- 7:47the back. And then he just has like the
- 7:49Hawaiian shirt and shorts and sandals
- 7:51and that's it. It's a mullet. No, he's
- 7:54not. Wave, put up a picture. LIKE
- 7:56EL MORENO OAK
- 7:59>> [laughter]
- 8:05>> GOD, YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO GET ME
- 8:06BANNED.
- 8:07>> [laughter]
- 8:09>> OKAY, this one [ __ ] set me cuz it's
- 8:11just Professor Oak with like a tan and a
- 8:13mullet. Professor Burnet.
- 8:16OH, she's cute.
- 8:18Is this the wife? I feel like I've seen
- 8:20her somewhere before. Oh wait, no, hold
- 8:22on. You were in Gen 5. What the [ __ ] he
- 8:25bagged this baddie? Oh, she's so cute.
- 8:28Side note, I kind of love her outfit
- 8:30that she's wearing like half a wetsuit.
- 8:32And then for some reason she slapped a
- 8:34skirt on it so it we wouldn't just have
- 8:36like, you know, Professor coochie out
- 8:38and the tank top and Like is she wearing
- 8:40her wedding ring around [music] her
- 8:42neck? I mean, yeah, if you're a diver,
- 8:44fun fact, the water pressure can make
- 8:46jewelry like [ __ ] squeeze you to
- 8:48filth. So putting it around her neck if
- 8:50she's a diver is a better choice. That's
- 8:52so [ __ ] cute though. And then I love
- 8:54the hairpiece. Her hair style's actually
- 8:56really really cute, too. I can't believe
- 8:58that Kukui bagged this baddie. Very
- 9:00similar color scheme to her husband,
- 9:02which I think is super cute actually.
- 9:04Like they both have like green and white
- 9:05and gray on their person except the main
- 9:08point of contrast is that her hair is
- 9:11white and his hair's black. It's super
- 9:13fun, great play on shades. You can very
- 9:14clearly tell that she's been like diving
- 9:17and learning more about like the
- 9:18ecosystem and [ __ ] I love her body.
- 9:20She's like super slender, very like
- 9:22weird, almost very tall. I feel like she
- 9:24would be taller than he is. Is she
- 9:25taller than Kukui? Nope, she's shorter.
- 9:27Oh, okay. Then again, let's talk about
- 9:31shape language cuz the very very skinny
- 9:33torso and long torso and very perky
- 9:36bubba dubas. Yeah, that give her a lot
- 9:38of height. Not to mention that she
- 9:39already has a lot of leggy. Even the
- 9:41hairstyle gives her a lot of height, but
- 9:43it's really fun to hear that she's
- 9:44actually shorter than he is. Adorable. I
- 9:46love both of them, honestly. They make a
- 9:47good pair, and they have individually
- 9:49very good designs as well. How? Okay,
- 9:51I'm guessing this is your rival or
- 9:54bestie.
- 9:55He looks like bestie. He looks like he
- 9:58wins Pokémon fights out of sheer vibes.
- 10:00>> Go nuts.
- 10:02>> Aggressively chill bean. Just swimsuit,
- 10:05backpack, the t-shirt, the little man
- 10:08bun, and does not know the meaning of
- 10:10the word stress. This guy has grown
- 10:13stress-free so far. He's never [ __ ]
- 10:16encountered a single thing that would
- 10:17make him upset. He will literally vibe
- 10:19the bad times away. Do we have a rival
- 10:22that's mean in this game? I enjoy your
- 10:24besties, but I like me a rival that
- 10:26might give me a little bit of [ __ ] But,
- 10:28I will say that Hau just looks like
- 10:30super sweet. It's a very simple design,
- 10:33too, but the shape language is pretty on
- 10:35point. It's very square. It's very
- 10:37reliable, fairly relaxed, still very
- 10:39friend-shaped. A triangular composition
- 10:42on the design itself. I get water shoes
- 10:44cuz yeah. I actually do like his color
- 10:46scheme a lot. It reminds me the yellow
- 10:49swim trunks and then like the green
- 10:51hair. This guy is a pineapple. It's a
- 10:53pineapple. Pineapple.
- 10:57Lillie is one of Pokémon's finest, one
- 11:01of the cutest designs ever. Fun fact,
- 11:03she carries the [ __ ] Nebby around in
- 11:04that bag, and Nebby weighs like 2 tons.
- 11:06So, for some reason,
- 11:08she can carry that [ __ ] thing through
- 11:10thick and thin. Where do I even start
- 11:12with Lillie's design that makes me like
- 11:14it so much? Like, she's aggressively
- 11:16like Ojosama coded. Very, very cute.
- 11:19Incredibly dainty clothes. The big sun
- 11:21hat, the dress that has like a little
- 11:24transparent bit on the bottom, the knee
- 11:26socks, the cute little baby shoes. Very
- 11:29[music] white, very clean, very pretty
- 11:31color scheme. A little red on her bag
- 11:33and a little bit of green on the eyes
- 11:35and everything else is just like super
- 11:37clean and crisp, almost like
- 11:40scientifically so. I do know for a fact
- 11:43that this outfit was actually something
- 11:45she did not pick out, Lusamine did, but
- 11:48it suits her so well. It makes her
- 11:50aggressively French shaped and just the
- 11:52silhouette work on this alone is just
- 11:54worth to be studied cuz she's distinctly
- 11:57jellyfish coded. Especially like the
- 11:59dress. The dress itself feels very much
- 12:01like a jellyfish, a moon jelly. If
- 12:03you've seen one of Lusamine's designs,
- 12:06you will know why, but Lily is just such
- 12:09a cutie. The bangs, the cute blonde
- 12:11hair, the little defiant expression, the
- 12:13fact that she has like that duffel bag
- 12:15that has a legendary Pokémon in it. Very
- 12:17soft colors. She does not give tropical.
- 12:20Lily gives you the distinct impression
- 12:22that she feels a little out of place in
- 12:23Alola. Like she's still dressed for the
- 12:25weather. She's dressed for heat. At the
- 12:27same time though, it's not a very
- 12:29practical outfit place like Alola, no.
- 12:30She's always frowning, she's very sulky,
- 12:33but I think she's an adorable character,
- 12:34one of my favorite designs that Pokémon
- 12:36HAS EVER MADE.
- 12:40I THINK THIS IS THE CLOTHES THAT SHE
- 12:41PICKS FOR HERSELF, but I've actually
- 12:44seen her wear this fit in the anime. She
- 12:47looks so much happier. She's just such a
- 12:49nicer vibe overall. Like she still has
- 12:51braids in her hair, but now she has a
- 12:52ponytail, which is going to be great for
- 12:54the heat. Love, love, love the sailor
- 12:55uniform debates. It's so [ __ ] cute.
- 12:57Except now we're wearing it with ankle
- 12:59socks and cute little baby Mary Janes.
- 13:01Her backpack is pink and she's holding
- 13:03it with like the confidence. It feels
- 13:05more like her, if that makes sense. I
- 13:08like both outfits. I think that like
- 13:10aesthetically the first outfit tickles
- 13:12my fancy more. However, when it comes to
- 13:16like accurately portraying her
- 13:18personality, this one is better. And
- 13:20you'll notice the shading in this Lily
- 13:22is actually done with warm tones. If you
- 13:25see the outfit from the OG game, the
- 13:28shading is done in cool tones entirely,
- 13:30which contributes it to feeling very
- 13:32sterile. Yeah, Moonlily versus Sunlily,
- 13:34essentially. Ilima.
- 13:36>> Oh, is this the creepy rival?
- 13:38>> Not rival. Like, he kind of looks like
- 13:41he's a bit snotty. It's [music] like he
- 13:43would scoff at you if you get something
- 13:44wrong at school, like, or a gym leader.
- 13:47Well, kind of. Okay, so apparently Alola
- 13:50doesn't have gym leaders, so we're doing
- 13:52their equivalents, right? Kind of hard
- 13:55to get his type. I would probably say
- 13:57normal, if there is one. I don't know. I
- 14:00don't know. But, like, his design is
- 14:01pretty slick. He looks very chill, while
- 14:04at the same time feeling [music] very
- 14:06like snobby. Tell me that isn't the face
- 14:09of [ __ ] money. Yep, normal. Okay,
- 14:11yeah. Cuz like, he looks normal, but he
- 14:13still looks way too much design to just
- 14:14be a normal NPC. Only in places like
- 14:17Alola could you wear white pants like
- 14:18that. And they would not make your ass
- 14:21look gigantic. It takes a lot of
- 14:22confidence to wear white [ __ ] like
- 14:25this. But like, he looks like he's going
- 14:27to [ __ ] beat me in a Pokémon fight
- 14:29and then kick me out of the country
- 14:30club. And again, notice the shading
- 14:33undertones in this, predominantly warm.
- 14:35Cuz everybody in this game kind of have
- 14:37to look like they're in the sun. It's
- 14:39super pretty. He's gorgeous. His face is
- 14:41amazing. I like the droopy eyes. I love
- 14:43the blue eyes with like the pink hair.
- 14:45Super simple silhouette. Does not feel
- 14:47like a gym leader, but guess what? He's
- 14:49not supposed to, cuz they don't have gym
- 14:50leaders. So, it makes sense. I like it.
- 14:52Lana. I've seen an un- godly amount. Not
- 14:57so much of Lana, although I'm pretty
- 14:58sure it exists, of her mother. Like,
- 15:01I know the mom was anime only. She's not
- 15:03in the game, but I've seen it. Obviously
- 15:05water type trial captain. Look how
- 15:07[ __ ] cute she is, though. I love the
- 15:10designs in this, because like, we have
- 15:12the fishing pole. She looks like there's
- 15:14a fishing net in her hair. She has like
- 15:17a sailor silhouette and like a school
- 15:19swimsuit almost underneath her normal
- 15:22outfit. The big like fishing shorts are
- 15:24such a vibe with the little wave
- 15:26pattern. The same accessory that Ilima
- 15:29had as an earring, she has it off her
- 15:31belt. Super simple color scheme, very
- 15:33cute. The hair looks like a crashing
- 15:36wave on the bottom. It has great color.
- 15:38She's one of those Pokémon characters
- 15:39that you don't really see the whites of
- 15:41her eyes, but that just makes her look
- 15:42even cuter if that makes sense. She's so
- 15:44sweet. She has such a great [ __ ] like
- 15:46silhouette in general. And this one you
- 15:48can tell it's water immediately
- 15:50because all the elements are there. I
- 15:52did not know that she was a trial
- 15:54captain though. I was under the
- 15:56assumption that she was one of the
- 15:57protagonist's friends. What What a cute
- 15:59design. What a great use of [ __ ]
- 16:00silhouette and theme cuz she just looks
- 16:03like a very chill like fisherman's
- 16:06daughter type of vibe. Oh my god.
- 16:10Yeah. Yeah, that's
- 16:12>> [laughter]
- 16:12>> about what I expected for the fire trial
- 16:16captain. You know that penguin from
- 16:18Surf's Up, the one that [ __ ] makes
- 16:20that noise with his trophies?
- 16:21>> Yeah, it's a long story.
- 16:23>> Similar ballpark. Probably cuz his hair
- 16:25reminds me of like those like tropical
- 16:27penguins. If this is one of those dudes
- 16:29that like if you go to like the luau, he
- 16:31spits fire. I love this design though
- 16:33because A, he has like the ashy
- 16:35undertone that he has to his skin
- 16:37actually kind of makes him feel like he
- 16:38was on fire and he's cooled down. I
- 16:40really like the swim trunks though. I
- 16:43like the bright red with burgundy
- 16:46accents and [music] like the little like
- 16:48flared edges of the trunks that kind of
- 16:50look like smoke or like it's on fire.
- 16:53Great sandals too. And like he has like
- 16:55his little charm for like trial captain
- 16:58around his neck like his puka shell
- 16:59necklace. I don't know if he has tattoos
- 17:02or if those are just like scars or
- 17:04something, but they look really dope.
- 17:06The hair color is great. Dual-toned
- 17:08eyebrows. If you guys don't know this
- 17:10about Hawaii is that it's one of the
- 17:13zones that has like incredibly active
- 17:15volcanoes. So fire is as much a part of
- 17:18the island's culture as water is. So,
- 17:21it's kind of like nice to see that like
- 17:22they make the call to fire being a very
- 17:24important part of this dude's design.
- 17:26And not just cuz he's a fire type, cuz
- 17:27like the whole thing he has kind of
- 17:29reminds you about volcano. In fact, I
- 17:30would argue that his swim trunks almost
- 17:32look like a volcano, you know? He looks
- 17:34like he yells a lot. Again, it's a
- 17:37master class in simplicity because only
- 17:39thing my guy is wearing is swim trunks,
- 17:41sandals, and his necklace. I get fire
- 17:43type at an absolute glance. That's it. I
- 17:45can tell you exactly what his deal is.
- 17:47Very strong. Kind of like one of those
- 17:49dudes that like he looks like he's
- 17:50intimidating, but he's probably kind of
- 17:52goofy. He looks like a dumbass, but like
- 17:54affectionate, you know? Milo, ungodly?
- 17:58I'm out. There's so much But I love her
- 18:01design.
- 18:03>> [bell]
- 18:03>> It's so cute. Obviously, we have the
- 18:05grass type trial captain here. Very chef
- 18:07coded. I love that her overalls double
- 18:09as an apron. Very clearly wearing either
- 18:12a pink swimsuit underneath them or a
- 18:15bodysuit. How do you know she's grass,
- 18:17mama? Her hair is green and there's a
- 18:18big [ __ ] off flower on it. Also, her
- 18:20shoelaces look like leaves. This is such
- 18:22a like cutesy casual outfit. [music]
- 18:25Perfect color balance. The tan skin is
- 18:27absolutely beautiful. Very cheerful,
- 18:29very peppy. She really does feel like
- 18:31some form of tropical plant. That's the
- 18:32silhouette that I'm getting. Nice little
- 18:34balance and use of pink as an accent
- 18:36color on her swimsuit and on the
- 18:37headband. Otherwise, I think she would
- 18:39be way too cool toned, but I do like the
- 18:43gray overalls as well. They could have
- 18:44gone all green and made her overalls a
- 18:46lighter green, too, but I think gray
- 18:48fits really well. For some reason, Milo
- 18:51tickles everybody's fancy. I think it's
- 18:53like the kind of tomboyish playful vibe
- 18:56that she has. Press A to pound. Stop.
- 18:58Sophocles, electric type, obviously,
- 19:01lives in the air conditioning. Never
- 19:03leaves the house because you are not at
- 19:06all dressed for this weather. You are
- 19:08literally wearing like I should T-shirt
- 19:10tucked into your pants and big sneakers
- 19:13and a scarf. And in Alola, yeah, he
- 19:15never leaves the AC. iPad kid vibes for
- 19:18sure. I do really like though the typing
- 19:22on him is electric cuz it's not because
- 19:25of the colors or the Pikachu tail scarf,
- 19:26it's cuz of the Gameboy. And not to
- 19:28mention he has like the lightning bolt
- 19:30on his shoes. He has the Pikachu toy and
- 19:33the What is that? Elect- orm? You I like
- 19:37the gamer belt as well. He has a bit of
- 19:40a more vibrant color scheme which I
- 19:41really really like. Very expressive
- 19:43character. The hair looks like it's been
- 19:45electrified but he probably hasn't
- 19:46brushed it in like a week. The unibrow
- 19:48is actually super cool. It's not two
- 19:51eyebrows, it's one eyebrow. The little
- 19:52blush like the little like bleppy like
- 19:54it's a very cute character. Again, shape
- 19:57language-wise he's stupid friend-shaped.
- 19:59Incredibly round which is funny for like
- 20:02an electric type trainer / trial
- 20:04captain. The thing that has the
- 20:05intensity and the electricity scarf and
- 20:07the hair I think. He has the round
- 20:09Pikachu like Pokémon as his main. I love
- 20:11that. Molayne.
- 20:13Oh, flying. Or wait, no, I don't see a
- 20:15trial captain badge on you.
- 20:17Is it steel just because of his tie?
- 20:19Nerd. Like I love how Pokémon plays with
- 20:21shapes when they're designing characters
- 20:22cuz like you have like Sophocles which
- 20:25is like a [ __ ] round ball thing and
- 20:27then you have Molayne which is like a
- 20:28beanpole. Incredibly tall lanky ass
- 20:31character. Ridiculously fun proportions.
- 20:34Kind of oversized clothes. The [ __ ]
- 20:36one piece of steel on his tie and like
- 20:38the steel glasses. That's it. Those are
- 20:39your clues. That's your clues for the
- 20:41typing on this guy. No.
- 20:43Good color scheme overall. Great play on
- 20:45shapes. And again, I think that like the
- 20:47Sun and Moon team REALLY OUTDID
- 20:48THEMSELVES. OH, she's so cute. Ghost
- 20:51type. Ghost baby. Go
- 20:55I've actually seen this character before
- 20:56not in believe it or not but like I've
- 20:58seen a lot of artwork of her with her
- 21:00Pokémon cuz ghost type is kind of like
- 21:02her vibe. I love this. I love the design
- 21:05language. I love the color. I love the
- 21:07aggressive ooh woo energy. The grippers,
- 21:11the super cute eyebrows, the fact she
- 21:14has the charm on her hair clip. Acerola
- 21:17is adorable. She's so pretty. Like the
- 21:19color scheme is also so gorgeous. It's
- 21:21completely cool tone, which is really
- 21:22rare for Alola, but I like it so so
- 21:25much. This is one of the ones that like
- 21:27you see it and you immediately
- 21:28immediately know what the type is, which
- 21:31is yeah, ghost. Like the torn up dress
- 21:34that's just put together with patches,
- 21:36the hair being like kind of unruly, but
- 21:38very very cute. It's oversized, so it
- 21:41makes her feel even younger. I like the
- 21:43really one big gold bracelet for like no
- 21:45good reason. It's a good way to add some
- 21:47warmth to the design. The shape language
- 21:49here is completely triangular, which
- 21:50beguiles some intensity, but it's also
- 21:52very sloped and not at all super
- 21:54angular, which gives her a lot of
- 21:56softness. Her eyes are like almost empty
- 21:59in a way, but still very very cute. Like
- 22:01character design master class on this
- 22:03one. Rich homeless child.
- 22:06Apparently royalty or descended from
- 22:07royalty. That would probably explain the
- 22:09bracelet. Mina. Oh, I've also seen an
- 22:12ungodly amount of Nazi porn of you.
- 22:13Yeah, yeah, Mina. Great design. Super
- 22:16[ __ ] fun. The weird artsy kid. I did
- 22:19not know that she was from Alola. I like
- 22:21it though because she's very much one of
- 22:23those like wandering artist types. Like
- 22:25she has like the giant t-shirt she used
- 22:27to paint with. Like why the [ __ ] would
- 22:29she wear clean clothes ever if she's
- 22:31going to [ __ ] whip out a sketchbook
- 22:32no matter what. Like she paints with
- 22:33[ __ ] like pastels and wipes her hands
- 22:35on her shirt, I can guarantee it. I love
- 22:37the ring. I will say based on your charm
- 22:40and your color scheme fairy type. I
- 22:41would say fairy type for her because of
- 22:43the colors and because of the vibe and
- 22:44because like she's very like artistic.
- 22:46And fey have traditionally been very
- 22:49drawn to the artsy types. I adore the
- 22:52absolutely annihilated sneakers.
- 22:54Destroyed. I think it's supposed to be
- 22:56like ruffles on the top, but it looks
- 22:58more like she's been wearing those
- 22:59sneakers so long that they're about to
- 23:00fall apart on her feet. The ripped jeans
- 23:02are actually a really nice touch as
- 23:03well. I like that she's probably wearing
- 23:05like a a pink sports bra or a tank top
- 23:07underneath the [ __ ] giant t-shirt
- 23:09that she uses to like [ __ ] paint
- 23:10with. I also really like that you can
- 23:12easily tell she's an artist cuz she's
- 23:13carrying around a sketchbook. [music]
- 23:14Sometimes visual storytelling and
- 23:16character design, it doesn't need to be
- 23:18something bombastic. You don't need like
- 23:19the beret or like oh, big paintbrush,
- 23:22but just the fact that like her shirt is
- 23:24paint stained,
- 23:24>> [music]
- 23:25>> she has like funky colored hair. In
- 23:26fact, the tips of her hair look like
- 23:28paintbrushes. And she's carrying on a
- 23:30sketchbook, that's all you need. That
- 23:32But it immediately tells you what her
- 23:33deal is. I also really like the way that
- 23:35they use shape language to make her face
- 23:37longer,
- 23:38droopier, a little bit weird. You can
- 23:40tell that Mina is one of the older trial
- 23:42captains or Elite Four cuz her shoulders
- 23:44are a little bit more broad. She's only
- 23:45a really big head, but still. It's such
- 23:47a simple design, but it gets the job
- 23:48DONE REALLY WELL. OBLIGATORY Pokémon old
- 23:50man. Insane beard or mustache time.
- 23:54Almost always wears yellow, right? Very
- 23:56much that vibe. I don't know what your
- 24:00typing is. I'm probably going to guess
- 24:01something along the lines of ground
- 24:02maybe. Oh, wait. No, you're right.
- 24:04Fighting cuz he has like a fighting
- 24:05pose. You look like you and the
- 24:07pineapple are related. I feel like you
- 24:09might be like his grandpa. I love his
- 24:11like knot belt that is not even in the
- 24:13right place. Love the rope flip-flops.
- 24:16They look very traditional. I like the
- 24:18haori that he's wearing, like bright
- 24:20yellow, super fun, super playful. With
- 24:22the blue shirt, it's really nice. And I
- 24:24like that he basically just just really
- 24:26resembles Hala. Yeah, it's Hala's
- 24:28grandpa. But I like that it has like the
- 24:30one accent color, right? Like the one
- 24:32red. So that means that like Hala has
- 24:34every primary color on his color scheme,
- 24:36which is a really nice touch as well.
- 24:38Again, like everyone else in Sun and
- 24:40Moon, super simple, but super cool. I
- 24:42like it. Sumo coated, very much will
- 24:44push you, but to teach you A LESSON,
- 24:46CHILD.
- 24:49WHY DOES YOUR RENDER LOOK SO CHOPPED?
- 24:51What is that face? Dark type? Dark type?
- 24:55Dark type? He looks like he hasn't slept
- 24:57in 20 years. Only in Alola. Only in
- 25:01Alola would a cop wear flip-flops like
- 25:03this. Like, he very clearly looks like a
- 25:06cop cuz he has like the uniform. I like
- 25:08the red t-shirt underneath, but like the
- 25:10flip-flops.
- 25:13Dude, cop with grippers out. Meet
- 25:15Protolarry. He looks very done with
- 25:17life. The bowl haircut is [ __ ]
- 25:19sending me to Jupiter, chat. But, I love
- 25:21it though cuz he does genuinely look
- 25:23like a [ __ ] cop. Like, a cop of the
- 25:25tropics. But, yeah, Nanu has a pretty
- 25:27cool design. You can tell he's a dark
- 25:28type immediately, but his face looks so
- 25:30[ __ ] chopped cuz he hasn't slept in
- 25:31like 20 years. Oh,
- 25:34[ __ ]
- 25:35>> [bell]
- 25:36>> Why do the Sun and Moon girlies have so
- 25:37much This is why. The jewelry, the crop
- 25:42top, the pink, the [ __ ] the hips, the
- 25:45tits, the high heels. Come on, man. This
- 25:48woman is sex incarnate. The skin tone is
- 25:51beautiful. I love the shapes all over
- 25:54the [ __ ] cop. She's like the diamond
- 25:56rhombus or whatever you want to call
- 25:57those. The little like burnished gold
- 25:58detail jewelry all over her person. From
- 26:00her hips, two sets of bracelets, a
- 26:03garter, and then it's not even her
- 26:05shoes. Ankle bracelet. Also, Sniffa
- 26:09and Rockshun. Yeah.
- 26:12Like, dude, she's so hot. The body type
- 26:14is insane. I love the teal nail polish.
- 26:17Like, the teal is an accent color. It
- 26:18works so good against that skin tone.
- 26:20But, I like the primary color scheme is
- 26:22like pink [music] in different shades.
- 26:23If there is ever a time of year to dress
- 26:26[ __ ] and justifiably so, it's when
- 26:28it's hot out. So, imagine a place like
- 26:31Alola where it's almost always hot out.
- 26:33Mama, you have to dress like a turbo
- 26:34[music] [ __ ] It's I'm sorry, that's the
- 26:36law. 10 out of 10 on Olivia, I would
- 26:38say. Apple. Add fetus.
- 26:41Add super fetus. Rock type or ground
- 26:43type. Could be either one of those. The
- 26:44thing I like about this design is the
- 26:47eyes. Dude, she is staring deep into
- 26:50your soul. Giant eyebrows. I like the
- 26:52combo between like the tan jumpsuit and
- 26:55the purple colors overall. Look at how
- 26:58well repeated the shapes are. Like super
- 27:00big oval eyes, almost oval eyebrows, the
- 27:03ovals in her hair. It's just very round,
- 27:05very playful, very fun, but the gaze is
- 27:08piercing. If you want to make a
- 27:09character look like they're staring into
- 27:11your soul, give them like white pupils.
- 27:13That almost always does the trick. Rich
- 27:16[ __ ]
- 27:19>> Rich people.
- 27:20>> Flying type. The hair shape, the golfing
- 27:23mini dress with that like fluted edge on
- 27:26the wings, the [ __ ] golf club that
- 27:28has like the same color scheme as a
- 27:30Toucan's beak, and like that little
- 27:31badge that she's wearing on the side.
- 27:33Orange accents, orange knee socks. I'm 4
- 27:35years old. I don't know what it is about
- 27:37golfing and tennis outfits that make
- 27:38them so sexy. And then like she has like
- 27:40that mole on the side and she looks like
- 27:42such a [ __ ] I'm guessing that the
- 27:44Toucan Pokémon is one of the ones that
- 27:46she has cuz she has like that color
- 27:48scheme. Again, it's such a cool color
- 27:50scheme cuz orange and blue go really
- 27:53well together. So, the fact that they
- 27:54made like the blue more desaturated and
- 27:56they made the orange like bright as [ __ ]
- 27:58really helps the character stand out.
- 28:00It's a phenomenal use of abstraction.
- 28:03You're putting a bird on her person
- 28:04without actually putting a bird on her
- 28:05person. You're just playing with shapes.
- 28:07Master
- 28:09Um who could this be? I wonder who it
- 28:11is. This is why you're married. Like who
- 28:13is this incredibly fine specimen?
- 28:17>> [laughter]
- 28:18>> Oh, Pokémon wearing like this. I love
- 28:21this because like even though if I drew
- 28:23this guy he'd be ripped, but Pokémon
- 28:25just cannot do it. Like they will give
- 28:27him a square notch on his [ __ ] abs
- 28:29and that's it. I love it though. Shirt
- 28:31comes off, the lucha pants go on, the
- 28:33mask is insanely fun. Nice use of color.
- 28:36The shapes are super intense. I can
- 28:37still tell who you are, [ __ ] but
- 28:39still. Who is this mysterious luchador?
- 28:41The Ultra Recon Squad. Wait, how are you
- 28:44guys Pokémon characters? Your skin is
- 28:46blue. Super weird. I mean, it's the same
- 28:49designer, clearly. They're all wearing
- 28:50like the same uniform, but in like
- 28:52different styles. These must be from
- 28:54Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon cuz I've
- 28:55actually never heard of them before. I
- 28:57like the uniforms a lot, though.
- 28:58Predominantly cool tones, really cool
- 29:00helmets and visors. These have to be
- 29:01like legit aliens because Pokémon never
- 29:03does that. But you are dressed like
- 29:04clouds, so I'm guessing that you're bad
- 29:06guy. Really fun silhouettes, really cool
- 29:08color schemes, nice accent colors for
- 29:10everything. I would [ __ ] with this one,
- 29:12the blue one, yeah. Nice bags.
- 29:15This is another example, by the way, of
- 29:17what I like to call uh visual
- 29:18characterization, but this one is
- 29:19actually done with uniforms. It's
- 29:21Everybody has the same uniform, but it's
- 29:23tailor-made to their own personal taste.
- 29:25So, the Ultra Recon Squad, pretty cool.
- 29:27I like them. Duke O my lord.
- 29:32Bombastic, incredibly loud,
- 29:34rocker-coded, super fun. I love how
- 29:37spiky it is. I like how shiny it is.
- 29:40Aggressively bright red. Insane
- 29:43silhouette. Like, no chill, whatsoever.
- 29:46Nothing about this character is subtle.
- 29:47If the rest of the cast in Sun and Moon
- 29:49so far had been like pretty like
- 29:50subdued, Duke is like, "Eh, baby, I'm
- 29:53about to come in with like the most
- 29:55shiny latex you've ever seen, the
- 29:58spikiest stuff you've ever seen, and the
- 29:59craziest hair you've ever seen." It's a
- 30:00pretty fun vibe, I will say that much.
- 30:03The stand user could be anyone. More.
- 30:13Oh, Team Skull was like low-key kind of
- 30:15[ __ ] Team Skull was funny to me
- 30:17because they had really, really funky
- 30:19designs. They had like the big [ __ ]
- 30:22pendants. I like the girl grunts,
- 30:24though, cuz I love the short shorts.
- 30:26They don't look like bad guys, they look
- 30:27like they went to a skate park to
- 30:29[ __ ] paint some graffiti and then
- 30:30went back home. We're delinquents, but
- 30:32like not really, like I love the designs
- 30:34for them. I also really like that the
- 30:36entirety of the outfit is black and
- 30:38white, but then they have really bright
- 30:39hair, which is really fun to look at.
- 30:41And again, great play on shapes for both
- 30:43of them cuz they're both wearing very
- 30:44similar clothes, but they're executed
- 30:45super differently. They're just
- 30:46dumbasses. We love that about Pokémon
- 30:49though. The giant S medallion for Skull.
- 30:52Oh my god. It's actually so well made
- 30:54cuz it's an S, but it is also a skull.
- 30:57Like it's a skull kind of like tilted to
- 30:58the side, but I can see the S in it,
- 31:00too. Very nicely designed, honestly.
- 31:02Team Skull, they might be goofy as [ __ ]
- 31:04but they're very fun.
- 31:06[ __ ] you. Wait a minute.
- 31:09This is Lillie's brother, a billion
- 31:11percent. Okay, so Lusamine, did you just
- 31:13[ __ ] raise two miscreants? How absent
- 31:16a mother were you? One of them is
- 31:18terrified of Pokémon and lives in an
- 31:20attic, and the other one just became a
- 31:22hoodrat.
- 31:23Unlike Lillie, who has a very sterile
- 31:25look, Gladion seems to have gone the
- 31:27opposite route of he desires
- 31:29individuality desperately, you know? I
- 31:31don't know if he's the younger or the
- 31:33older sibling, or if they're twins,
- 31:35can't really tell you. But, this is the
- 31:37dude that like went to Hot Topic and
- 31:39never came out. This guy was probably so
- 31:40used to being dressed up like a [ __ ]
- 31:42porcelain doll because I know this is
- 31:44what Lusamine is like, that as soon as
- 31:46he [ __ ] ran away, he was like, "I
- 31:48need my own sense of style." He's still
- 31:49figuring it out. He's still figuring it
- 31:51out, but like he doesn't want it to be
- 31:52clean or sterile or bright. He's like,
- 31:54"No, give me dark [ __ ] colors. I
- 31:56don't care that I live in a tropical
- 31:57island. Red accents, big sneakers,
- 31:59destroyed sweatpants and jacket, goofy
- 32:01collar." Like he wants intensity, but
- 32:03underneath the very like spiked jacket
- 32:06and all that jazz, it's still very
- 32:09clearly a soft character at heart, I can
- 32:11tell you. Like you can tell that he's
- 32:13not trying to be a hard-ass. He's just
- 32:15desperate to be his own person. And
- 32:17again, I haven't played the game, so
- 32:18this is just me [ __ ] ballparking at
- 32:20I'm guessing what their deal is, but
- 32:22that's the vibe I get from this dude.
- 32:23He's just a white boy, a little bit.
- 32:25Alola, yeah.
- 32:29>> [bell]
- 32:29>> Goth coded, [ __ ] pink and yellow
- 32:32hair, lanky ass body, tattoo the tattoo,
- 32:36which is fake by the way, cuz like yeah,
- 32:39the crop top, the lanky sweatpants. You
- 32:42could put this chicken Splatoon [music]
- 32:44and she would fit right in.
- 32:45I also really like her twin tails. Skull
- 32:48like the hair's coming out of the eyes
- 32:49on the skull. Like she is going to not
- 32:52be nice to you, but you'll probably
- 32:55appreciate that. She has a lot of sex
- 32:56appeal, but like it's alternative sex
- 32:59appeal. It's very alluring. Also,
- 33:01you could interpret this look in two
- 33:02ways. Either she caked on darker
- 33:04foundation than her skin tone, or she
- 33:07put sunblock around her eyelids and let
- 33:10her other skin tan.
- 33:12It's a very ghetto look, actually,
- 33:13believe it or not. I also like that she
- 33:15barely has eyebrows. A super fun design,
- 33:18to be sure, and obviously a very like
- 33:20more important part of Team Skull
- 33:21[music] than the grunts.
- 33:26Your boy Guzma I know you. I know you. I
- 33:29love your design. I've always liked your
- 33:31design. Like
- 33:33This is probably the leader of Team
- 33:35Skull. Um
- 33:36idiot. I see this man. I see this gaunt
- 33:39ass face, his like wacky sunglasses, the
- 33:42gold bling. This is like the most white
- 33:44boy tries rapping thing I've ever seen.
- 33:46I love him, though. The [ __ ] smug ass
- 33:50cocky grin, the big chains, with more
- 33:53broccoli hair. Like this is like every
- 33:55teenager. I like that he dyes his hair
- 33:57very obviously, cuz like his roots are
- 33:59black, mama, cuz like and the outfit,
- 34:01too. Like the sweatpants, like baggy
- 34:04sweats sweats with like clean white
- 34:06sneakers. He has a white on the top and
- 34:09then black on the bottom closer to his
- 34:10skull. The
- 34:12He has black brows. Lord send me, I love
- 34:14this man. I'm sorry. This is one of
- 34:16Pokémon's best character designs, cuz it
- 34:18just has so much attitude. It's just
- 34:20like aggressively like dorky dad coded,
- 34:24but he owns that [ __ ] He wears that
- 34:26[ __ ] [ __ ] like a man.
- 34:29>> [laughter]
- 34:29>> I don't know, mama, something about him
- 34:31makes me smile like a doofus cuz it's
- 34:33just so fun. It's a great silhouette.
- 34:35He's fairly relaxed. Like for someone
- 34:37who's like supposedly a bad guy, he's
- 34:39not giving me bad vibes at all. Like
- 34:41Guzma feels like such a bro. Does that
- 34:44make sense? Okay, we're getting into my
- 34:47actual favorite designs in this [ __ ]
- 34:49gen, which is anything and everything to
- 34:51do with the Aether Foundation. First of
- 34:53all, both of these uniforms
- 34:56>> [bell]
- 34:56>> godly work. The sci-fi angle for these
- 35:00designs for the Aether Foundation is
- 35:01never not going to make me happy. Clean
- 35:03white and pure gold, hyper sterile, but
- 35:06with so much flair.
- 35:09I love the hats. I love the big sleeves.
- 35:12I love the big pouches. Giant sneakers.
- 35:14I am of the a school of bigger is better
- 35:17when it comes to character design, so
- 35:19seeing elements that are like huge, like
- 35:21they always make me really happy cuz you
- 35:22play with silhouette a lot when you do
- 35:24that [ __ ] Like these do look like
- 35:26researchers, field researchers, the
- 35:28people who probably run up to you to
- 35:30fight you if you're trying to [ __ ]
- 35:31get into the foundation. I like that
- 35:33girly pop is wearing tights underneath
- 35:35like the romper and the guy just has
- 35:37like a bodysuit and that's it. No belt,
- 35:38no nothing. It's super clean. I love the
- 35:42warm tones of gold accents as well. The
- 35:44hairstyles are super pretty. This is
- 35:46Pokémon quote unquote bad guy, I think
- 35:49these are actually the the bad guys in
- 35:50this game, designs at their finest.
- 35:53They're not dark or edgy or brooding,
- 35:55but something about them is unsettling
- 35:57all the same. It's probably cuz they're
- 35:59so clean, they're hyper sterile, their
- 36:01gazes are kind of empty. They look
- 36:03friendly, but fake friendly.
- 36:06Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.
- 36:12>> [bell]
- 36:13>> I want this woman to sit on me. Mommy.
- 36:15Mom. Mother.
- 36:18That skirt
- 36:20with that like capelet that squishes the
- 36:24phenomenally large bags, chat. Look at
- 36:27them. Look at them. And the big like
- 36:30pink like glasses with like the very
- 36:32like 19 like 60s coded hair that's
- 36:35there's so much hairspray in there. And
- 36:37much like everyone else in the Aether
- 36:39Foundation, she's a very cool toned
- 36:41undertone to the shading on the
- 36:42character. Very sterile, very clean. The
- 36:44boots are so
- 36:46The shoes are so good. I'm so sorry.
- 36:48Like I could probably go at length about
- 36:50how good Wicke's outfit is cuz it's got
- 36:52great silhouette. And again, a chaotic
- 36:54one as well cuz her hair has a lot of
- 36:56twists and turns to it. There's
- 36:57intensity in the design, believe it or
- 36:59not. I don't know if Wicke is entirely
- 37:00good or entirely evil, but considering
- 37:02the fact that she's in the Aether
- 37:03Foundation, she's at least morally gray.
- 37:06You can't see her eyebrows and there is
- 37:07something slightly like off-putting
- 37:09about her smile, but Mom other to it's
- 37:12If I was going to say something about
- 37:13Wicke, it's probably that like she's
- 37:14kind of breaking rank in terms of how
- 37:17she wears her uniform cuz most of the
- 37:19Aether Foundation is dressed in really
- 37:20light colors. Wicke having some pink in
- 37:22there, having some color makes her at
- 37:24least a little bit more approachable
- 37:25than other members of the Aether
- 37:27Foundation. So, if she is nice, that's
- 37:30probably why you can tell. Bye-bye. Oh,
- 37:33Faba. These are my favorite designs in
- 37:36Sun and Moon. I love the Aether
- 37:38Foundation cuz look at that [ __ ]
- 37:40silhouette. Look at those big bombastic
- 37:42shapes. Evil. Lanky. Angular. Kind of
- 37:46mean. Every shapes he makes makes a
- 37:48triangle. The nose being super sharp and
- 37:50everything. Like yeah, like unlike Wicke
- 37:52which has very like warm colors, his
- 37:54accent color is a very very kind of
- 37:57poisonous green. He does not look nice.
- 38:00He actually looks like he made Lily and
- 38:03her brother run for the hills. Super
- 38:05sterile, super off-putting. Like I love
- 38:07the outfit so much though. IT'S SO GOOD,
- 38:09CHAT. The giant collar, the [ __ ]
- 38:12pants tucked into like the shoes, the
- 38:14green accented sleeves, like oh. He
- 38:17looks like a Scooby-Doo villain a little
- 38:18bit. Is this a Hypnolely? Oh.
- 38:22No, not being the allegations, I guess.
- 38:24All right. Okay. Okay.
- 38:28>> [bell]
- 38:30>> But Lillie, SHE'S PSYCHOTIC. BUT I DON'T
- 38:31CARE. HAVE you seen my taste in men? If
- 38:33evil, why hot? She is terrible and
- 38:36awful, but fabulous. He's like the one
- 38:38instance where a Pokémon bad guy is not
- 38:41dressed like a clown. Mama, she's not at
- 38:43all dressed like a clown, but like you
- 38:45can still tell she's like the big bad of
- 38:47this gen. I'm really sorry. Again, they
- 38:49excelled with the Aether Foundation's
- 38:51designs. Look at that hair. The swoops,
- 38:53the purple highlights, the silhouette of
- 38:56the character being like super slender
- 38:58and skinny, but she still has a darkness
- 39:00to her design, like the black racing
- 39:02stripes on her thigh, the green and
- 39:04black pendant, the gold being a little
- 39:07bit colder in tone, the teal accents. A
- 39:10billion percent, are we sure that like
- 39:12Lillie and her brother didn't happen via
- 39:14mitosis? Cuz like there's none of the
- 39:16dad in there. I love how lanky she is.
- 39:19She has so much confidence.
- 39:21This is the type of like, okay, I'm
- 39:22going to call it, narcissistic mother.
- 39:24Again, I've never played the games, but
- 39:26this is the one character that would
- 39:28probably follow the narcissist's prayer
- 39:31to the letter. Like, nothing is her
- 39:33fault, ever. And if it is, I'm sorry you
- 39:36feel that way. A younger mother,
- 39:38obviously, but she does not look
- 39:41approachable or friendly at all. Unlike
- 39:43Wicke, who's incredibly soft and
- 39:45squishy, Lusamine is like angular as
- 39:48[ __ ] I don't feel like she would be fun
- 39:51to hug. There's no softness there. Even
- 39:54her eyes feel really empty. Wait, she's
- 39:5640? How the [ __ ] is she 40? Of anime.
- 39:59But still very much a character whose
- 40:01design is phenomenal, but whose story is
- 40:03not nice at all. And I do like that. I
- 40:05love morally gray women. Now, this is
- 40:08actually my favorite [music] design in
- 40:11Sun and Moon. The Ultra Beast is
- 40:13basically what happens to someone when
- 40:16they fuse with a Pokémon. In this case,
- 40:19it's Nihilego and it's um it's
- 40:21beautiful. It's a gorgeous gorgeous
- 40:23design. I don't know how we get here. I
- 40:25will probably play the game at some
- 40:26point. I just know that this happens.
- 40:27Notice how the color scheme inverted
- 40:29completely. There is no white, no
- 40:32sterile, no clean. It almost looks inky.
- 40:34There is eyes everywhere. I think this
- 40:37is actually kind of referencing a box
- 40:39jellyfish because those are the only
- 40:41jellyfish known in nature that actually
- 40:42have eyes, fun fact, and they have four
- 40:45protruding places where their tentacles
- 40:47come from. I genuinely like that we
- 40:49can't see Lusamine's arms in this. They
- 40:51seem almost fused with the Pokémon
- 40:52entirely. Her hair completely [ __ ]
- 40:54changes color. She no longer has the
- 40:57shoes or like purple black tights. It's
- 40:59such a goated design that I know that
- 41:01it's probably a spoiler, but A, game is
- 41:03old and I'm going to play it eventually
- 41:04and B, it's just such phenomenal
- 41:06character design that I feel like it
- 41:07deserved a merit. In the silhouette and
- 41:09its scheming, big evil jellyfish, like
- 41:12mother must have all control. That's
- 41:14like the vibe that I'm getting. It's so
- 41:16off-putting in the best way. I genuinely
- 41:19enjoy looking at it. This definitely
- 41:21feels like a corrupting influence in a
- 41:23way. Like it feels like the Pokémon is
- 41:25actually taking [music] her over almost.
- 41:27Like she's being swallowed, chat. And I
- 41:29also really like that her hair kind of
- 41:30looks like inkier. It's a gorgeous
- 41:32gorgeous gorgeous design. Love the use
- 41:33of color. Love the use of shapes. Love
- 41:35how distinctly Pokémon it is despite
- 41:37being a little bit more on the Pokémon
- 41:39body horror side of things. I don't
- 41:41think that they've done anything like
- 41:42this since, at least not from what I
- 41:44remember, and I really wish they would.
- 41:46This does not feel like a trainer that
- 41:48would throw a Pokémon at you and that's
- 41:50it. This feels like a Pokémon that would
- 41:52dead ass attack you. This feels like an
- 41:53actual last boss, which I love.
- 41:55>> [music]
- 41:55>> Very very very cool.
- 41:57Okay, we did every character with a
- 41:58render. I'm looking at like Mon and the
- 41:59other ones, but like they don't have a
- 42:01render. They have like concept art only.
- 42:04Like the quality's kind of dog [ __ ]
- 42:06>> [laughter]
- 42:06>> This has to be like Lusamine's husband
- 42:08or ex-husband. It's giving aggressive
- 42:11ex-husband energy. The vibe is beach
- 42:13hobo. Oh, But like he looks
- 42:16so much like his kids though. Like
- 42:18aggressively like his kids just more tan
- 42:20and hairier. But yeah, Cast Away is the
- 42:22right way to do it. Unfortunately, no
- 42:23render for him. He should have one. I
- 42:24like that even though his pants are like
- 42:26shredded, he's still wearing like
- 42:27sweater around his neck. But yeah,
- 42:29decent design, very much resembles his
- 42:31children. And unlike Lusamine who's very
- 42:33clean and polished and like sterilized,
- 42:35[music] he's like dirty. I like the
- 42:37glasses and the hair the hairstyle is
- 42:39really fun. Simple design overall. Tank
- 42:41top, jeans, that's about it. Yeah, I
- 42:43don't even know who this is.
- 42:45SHE'S FROM GEN 6. OH!
- 42:47OH, THAT'S WHY. OKAY, I do really like
- 42:50the vibe though, very tropical. She has
- 42:52like the bracelet for the Z-moves also.
- 42:54Cute pink sandals and pink sunglasses.
- 42:56Is she wearing like a baseball cap or a
- 42:59bandana? I think it's a baseball cap.
- 43:01Yo, yeah, this is incredibly
- 43:03tourist-coded. I actually kind of really
- 43:04like that though.
- 43:06Who are you? Dexio, some dude. I'm going
- 43:08to go with some dude. Is he a pair with
- 43:11this girly pop? Like very much tourist
- 43:13energy. Aggressive tourist energy, chat.
- 43:16I like like the bleached jeans and what
- 43:18the [ __ ] are those shoes, dude? Like
- 43:20[ __ ] turtle patterns, super weird.
- 43:23The t-shirt is also really cute. It's an
- 43:24Exeggutor t-shirt. I thought it was a
- 43:26dinosaur for like a split minute. I was
- 43:27like, "Wait a minute, no, this is
- 43:28Pokémon." They came looking for
- 43:29timeshares. Okay, we have Red and Blue.
- 43:31Tell me why they don't look like they're
- 43:32going on like the gayest vacation
- 43:34together, chat. I mean, it's Red and
- 43:36Blue. What's there to say about them
- 43:38other than that? I like the older vibe.
- 43:40I like that their faces are more
- 43:41angular. I like the thicker brows.
- 43:44Neither of these guys grew a beard.
- 43:46They're both very much dressed for the
- 43:47weather. Although I feel like Red it
- 43:49just did not like which one is which.
- 43:52I haven't done Gen 1 or 2 yet, so I get
- 43:55confused between these two idiots. Red
- 43:57is the guy in the hat. It's like, "Why
- 43:58do I feel like Red just put on a t-shirt
- 43:59and called it a day?" Blue feels more
- 44:01like he was like, "Yep, I'm [ __ ]
- 44:02taking a few days off. Leave me alone."
- 44:04And Red just looks like he climbed up
- 44:05the mountain. Woman in a suit, it's
- 44:06great purple hair, done. He's from GEN
- 44:083, ACTUALLY. OH, THAT PROBABLY EXPLAINS
- 44:10why I don't remember. Gorgeous face,
- 44:12very like Bishojo coded.
- 44:14It's a simple design. The hair is really
- 44:16the standout for me and the earrings as
- 44:18well, very cool.
- 44:19Uh, just lady in suit though, simple.
- 44:22Oh, god, like the image quality. Ugh.
- 44:26Why are you ratty? The smile is huge
- 44:28though.
- 44:29Yeah, this is very much giving vacation
- 44:31rat man. His hands are huge, Jesus
- 44:32Christ. Cuz he is a rat man. He is a bit
- 44:34of ratty. I like the dual cone hair a
- 44:36lot. Uh, and I like how like sharp his
- 44:38[ __ ] scarf is. He very much looks
- 44:40like he's on vacation. He's wearing like
- 44:42the onsen yukata almost. A clean design,
- 44:44black and white, pretty much monotone.
- 44:46It's pretty simple as far as designs go
- 44:48and definitely more relaxed than what he
- 44:50looked like before.
- 44:52But I like it. I like it. Also, why are
- 44:53we still wearing the [ __ ] dress
- 44:56shoes? Like if there's one person who
- 44:58should be in sandals, it's this [ __ ]
- 44:59sucker. Why not? Dark and classy. I like
- 45:01his vibe, I do.
- 45:03And with that, I believe that is
- 45:04everybody in Gen 7. Genuinely one of my
- 45:07favorite Gens that Pokémon has ever
- 45:10done, Sun and Moon.
- 45:11It's just so cool, chat. Like everyone
- 45:14is amazing. Everybody looks super great.
- 45:16Even the more simple designs have a ton
- 45:18of personality and overall, it's a
- 45:20standout to me. The character
- 45:22silhouettes, the shape language, [music]
- 45:24the use of color, the art style is
- 45:26solid, solidified. And from Gen 7
- 45:29onwards, we kind of like maintain that
- 45:31uniformity but in a really, really cool
- 45:32way. If you guys like this video, like,
