    Regional variant Pokemon have been a thing for a while now, but it was only recently in Pokemon Legends Arceus that we saw regional variants of Starter Pokemon. To this point, only the starters in those games have received regional variants, but what if EVERY Starter Pokemon had one? In today's video, we are going to begin to explore that idea, as I showcase some regional variant evolutions that I have created for the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn starters!

      the ancient form of blastoise fix the problem for a Pokémon biological work maybe take it after changing it arm if connect to it's back after use for war maybe mutant it the Pokémon for it's canon be on it's back and the canons look unnatural even for Pokémon.

    Here are some ideas I have for Regional Variants for Starters:
    Venusaur: Grass/Flying and the flower on its back turns into helicopter rotors
    Charizard: Fire/Rock because I always felt it had a common ancestor with Aerodactyl
    Blastoise: Water/Electric as a reference to hydroelectric power
    Meganium: Grass/Fairy because I feel the cherry blossom theme fits it better
    Feraligatr: Water/Dragon to make it look more monstrous
    Sceptile: Grass/Steel in order to make its Leaf Blades even sharper
    Blaziken: Fire/Flying and based on the Latiken fusion concept art
    Swampert: Water/Poison to connect it to Clodsire

    Great ideas, especially for Charizard, Feraligatr, and Sceptile. I always had them as my favorite starters from their respective gens and I would go with them with these regional variants as well, although both your Swampert and Blaziken ideas are great as well. Also Feraligatr doesn't need any spicing, he's simplistic, and that's one of the things that make him awesome.

    Based on axolotls, your water ghost-type Swampert idea is quite impressive. I loved how you tied together the axolotl's endangered status and regenerative ability in the design. This is a great example of how Pokemon designs can hold a deeper, real-world connection with meaning.

    @CometX-ing Před rokem +1

    I think an important thing to take into account with how starter regional variants we do have in Legends Arceus is that they strongly represent the region they are from by taking on the appearance of various kinds of jobs or positions of the era that region is based on. Typhlosion being a Monk/Exorcist, Samurott being chosen because of it being a Samurai and Decidueye being redesigned to take after a Ronin. If the intent of the redesigns is to be based on a potential Legends remake of any region, then that should be considered.
