- Hi, I'm Damian Castaway. For those who don't know me, I used to be the head Voice Actor for the Pixelmon Mod. Recently I've switched to the Cobblemon Mod. From Pixelmon To Cobblemon: Why I Made The Switch
- Hry
I was the lead modeler on pixelmon back in the day
I quit because it's ran by assholes lol
that alone makes cobblemon better
Ah is that you SPG? Good to see you again
@@DamianCastawayYa thats me, and I'll be 100% honest, the only VA I remember is flairintha lol
Hiroku didn't remember me either lol. Probably best to repress the past and look to the future XD
And here I thought the models in Pixelmon are ripped straight from official games.

I used to play pixelmon hardcore until I found cobblemon, I made the switch purely out of the feeling of Minecraft. Cobblemon allows me to play Minecraft with pokemon that feel like they were always there. It’s the same way with fossils and archaeology compared to other dinosaur mods.
Fossils and archeology first mention in seven years
@@mesworld1350 F/A was mentioned in Minecraft live last year too wasn’t it?
They have every Pokémon programmed already, but not implemented. The ones that aren't implemented use a placeholder model until they get their own models and animations.
I really think what made me ditch pixelmon was that fiasco where they had snuck in malicious code to shut down servers they didn’t like that just left such a stain on it for me
Oh, well, fair lol
I come to Minecraft pokemon because there’s more to do than the original games and even fan games. Personally in this situation more is better so Pixelmon it is. But that does not mean cobblemon will not be AWESOME or even better than pixelmon. (In the future.) Good news is cobblemon does not show any signs of stopping. And every step they’ve taken seems to be nothing but improvements to the mod. And they’re not shy about it u can go see everything they’re working on their page. Anyways not enough native content for me to leave pixelmon over just yet. But so far it’s undeniable that most people eventually will move on to the future being cobblemon. Thanks for the vid!
Thank you for your input! I understand your point of view about there not being enough content in Cobblemon right now, and that's a very valid point! Like you said, the mod will continue to evolve and grow as new features are added. I too am excited to see what creative direction they head in!
My main problem with cobblemon for right now.
The pokedex isn't a completionary thing but a list of pokemon in the mod.
The missing pokemon.
The missing gameplay features like raids and other things, trainers, and other things.
I feel like it relies a little too much on side mods which can be messy to update both side by side.
The things I like about cobblemon are
the minecraft like look
the flying mechanics.
the general feel of it
[not an official cobblemon feature but I like the mod that makes legendaries obtainable through quests rather than a timer like pixelmon]
the fact you can fight mobs with your pokemon which is sort of like pokecube. My first impressions of cobblemon was pokecube meets pixelmon but more stable . I hope gameplay features catch up with cobblemon and pokecube so I can truly make the switch.
Idk why but when that ffxiv music started I got a very cozy feeling
Something I live and die by is that IMO, Pixelmon was overdone. I've been playing Cobblemon for a while now, and decided to go back to Pixelmon to see how it's coming along, and it was an immediate overload of the senses. I could barely think due to the sheer number of things going on, including a flashy notification that there's an item on the ground??? I don't think I'll ever go back to Pixelmon, just because Cobblemon plays more into the Minecraft experience, instead of trying to make a whole new game like Pixelmon
It does feel a bit crowded, doesn't it?
@@DamianCastaway I think a bit might be an understatement lol
I like cobblemon because the models look like they actually belong in Minecraft lol
I also but on top of that it
-machimes dont need stupid amount of rare materials like diamond just to Heal pokemon
-can Craft pokeballs with fair prices materials like master ball being expensive
-give some usless materials some actuall use like Cooper for Basic pokeballs
Pixelmon was great back before they started replacing all the blocky models with high polygon ones. It just stopped feeling like it fit into minecraft. And it's been that way for most of its life now. Cobblemon is fantastic for that reason alone, AND they have so much more lively animations
Was already pretty relaxed but Neath Dark Waters from 14 jumpscared me, back into relaxing. Good taste :)
This is acc cool as hell man, u should make separate videos on a starter guide and how u recommend playing the game, what version, what mods, etc etc etc...
For a fellow Phan of the Phantom Thieves? You got it. I'll just need a few days as I work the next few lol.
Was not expecting to hear ff14 music in a minecraft video.
I used to really like pixelmon but I feel like its trying to be a separate game more then a minecraft mod, and thats fine. Cobblemon very much feels like a side experience to the core minecraft experience. You still gotta do all the usual minecraft things to progress. Also the blocky models just somehow have way more personality then smooth realistic ones. Considering how cobblemon has existed for a fraction of the time pixelmon has, I think it was a lot of potential
I hope the ff14 music was a pleasant surprise lol. And I think you make some very valid points. Considering cries match animations and animations are varied with cobblemon. Including blinking.
I think the best prime example of Pixelmons animation and cry problem is Dialga (which I voiced lol). Dialgas roar happens on cycle, and almost never times with the cry. It's ALWAYS bothered me.
ceruledge sounds like he sharpens his blades, i hope when they animate him it will be like that
To be honest, the only things I'm actually missing are some kind of gyms and trainers. As a singleplayer, I need something to do.
Who else did you voice in pixelmon, I honestly didn't know that people actually voiced them. I always thought as a kid that the pokemon were voice where taken from audio in the show, this is a surrealing feeling
They started replacing my work over time but: Wailord, Aggron, Dialga, Giratina, Palkia, Gligar, Gliscor, Ditto, just a bunch of them. (Probsbly 66% before I quit). Most of which I was never given credit for most on the wiki
really enjoying the cobblemon mod myself! also cant help but notice the amaurot music lol
Yeehaw! I'm so glad I discovered this mod!
I love both mods, and am looking forward to the addon mod know as Generations core, which will add HD models to the pokemon, the potential of what is possible is only getting bigger, cant wait to see what else is done with all three of these mods
just saw this and i been trying to play cobblemon but i have a bad laptop but either way this one works alot better and i like it better cuz its is harder cuz of the mobs and stuff idk if theres any servers out there but this mod is cool
Plenty of servers out there. Best place to find them is on Cobblemons discord
I switched to Cobblemon because of the models. Pixelmon models suck. I recall that in past they fit minecraft well. I don't know when but they change it to look... bad. Not suit for Minecraft at all.
Cobblemon is just much more fun. For now I wait for the possibility of Gym Leaders, evil teams or AT LEAST events/mission. I really liked that part of pixelmon and I hope we will get that in Cobblemon.
It’d be cooler if they did animations for fighting, also letting them auto fight
I love both mods, but i really prefer cobblemon just bc its less laggy
😮 JOOOO AGGRON IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITES XD
I still like both. but id say i perfer cobblemon cus of it being easier to run and doesnt get rid of vanila mobs (Ik theres a way to get them back but lately its very difficult for me)
I think that's very fair.
i REALLY wish they would add some basic animations for combat
They did in the new update that's coming out. :)
@@DamianCastaway for all the pokemons? whens the update?
@@Elfenninacozyinn They just keep saying "whenever we release it". You can access the snapshots early their discord though. I'm actually filming a vid on upcoming features as we speak lol.
@@Elfenninacozyinn not for all Pokémon yet no, they're slowly working on making animations for all the Pokémon but right now only a small handful have in-battle animations. They did, however, make the animation system versatile and accessable for addon creators
Does cobble mon include up to date vanilla Minecraft gameplay?
It's up to 1.20.1 right now
I'll wait for cobblemon to add mega evolution. Then I'll play a little bit more.
There's a sidemod for it that adds all gen 1 megas via ores you can mine :)
@@DamianCastaway yeah... but I want it to be official tho. I am patiently waiting for it to be added.
@@actualHFDF to each their own. I'm waiting to see if Legends ZA will add new megas. Hopefully.
@@DamianCastaway if they don't add any new one people will riot
@@toxicdragon2789 oh most assuredly. But it is TOC, so my fingers aren't crossed. :)
HOW ARE YOU USING YOUR MONS AS MOUNTS please tell me omg is it a separate mod?
I'm using the cobblemounts addon. You can find it on the cobblemon discord. If you're using Fofge, you'll need a mod which bridges forge and fabric mods. I can't remember what it's called off the top of my head though
what mods are you using in ur world (aside from cobblemon)
I'm that world I'm pretty sure it was just Cobblemon and some camera mods
god i want this but i don't got no pc SIGH
Reasons i havent played this:
- not enough pokemon
- healing is limited
- no trainers or spawners or anything to make your own map
Pixelmon has their issues but at least the game is complete. And at least i can FKING HEAL
There is a healer in game. You just have to craft it :)
you can heal in Cobblemon by:
- Crafting a healing machine
- using berries
- crafting berry juice from berries
- brewing potions
- sleeping in a bed during night time (also restores PP)
- and they heal (and revive) passively over time
I recommend using a mod called JEI whenever you play modded.
You can use it to look up items and itll show you how to craft them.
But yeah the other two reasons are valid
@@DamianCastaway you misunderstood what I said. I am talking about the healers cool down. There shouldn't be a cool down at all to heal.
Edit: Jesus everyone in this comment section can't read. I never said you can't craft a healer. I said it's limited, which I mean the cd.
@@illusionaryheart3325 I mean the cooldown. Never said you can't craft a healer
Pixelmon does doe models 6 million times better but i am a polygonal mess fan
Bro use your brain the model look like that to be MINECRAFT style its intentionnal
They do good models, but they dont do fitting models, which is why i never got into Pixelmon.
Not to mention Pixelmon really doesnt integrate itself into Minecraft that well and comes with a ton of bloat. It's definitely more complete though, and it does a good enough job at adding Pokemon to minecraft that I understand why people still play it
Personally. The models in pixelmon just look lifeless.
Pixelmon look gmod
I know cobblemon will surpass pixelmon soon, for now I'll stay on pixelmon until we can catch all pokemon (legendaries included)
cold take, pixelmon models kinda suck
