  • Pokemon Snakewood is a classic Pokemon ROM hack that still gets mentioned till this day, but what if its designs were made today? In today's video, I'll be taking some of the most well known fan made Pokemon from this Pokemon fangame, then see how they would look as modern Pokemon remakes for the Fakemon!

    As the lead developer of Stygian Snakewood (the snakewood remake) I gotta say. These sprites are incredible and it makes me happy that other people are remaking those sprites. It was quite fun experience for us when we were doing some of them ourselves.

    Reading that roclobster dex entry already knowing the B-52s already had me dead laughing
    I would’ve gone out of my way to make the sprite even farther away from the pokemon style and just make it a photorealistic lobster that’s been horribly compressed by the 16bit graphics

    They're pretty high quality but the last one didn't catch the original vibe.
    It was supposed to be a weird dragon creature with a Lotad for a head.

    • @twistedmyth5860
      @twistedmyth5860 Před 14 dny

      True, but I can see how he got the to design he did, because the original sprite is not easily readable. And I had to stare at it for a while to understand what it was. Tho, the added movement he would've added would make it significantly more readable.

    Goosuboa needed a bigger redesign or to not appear here at all. The resprite is still a plagiarized design.
    Your take on A Monster also isnt as good as the original honestly. It looks intentionally silly when the original had a cool pose going for it. Would've been cool to see a feral frankenmon that takes itself seriously in your style

    all other design upgrades look great and thanks for sharing info with the fans on mon they might have wanted in their games and ways to obtain said mon if possible ... not going to lie I was lowkey jealous of the helper guy for having Faceleech as a partner mon and I wanted one for myself
