this is basically "this one sparks joy, this one does not spark joy."
Or the flirting vs harassmemt meme
Both are incredibly terrifying if you think of their face as a mask since they have unblinking eyes
Unblinking? They close them in legends
@@mikayel6175 I was referring to the sprite TBS used
@@airplanes_aren.t_real He just uses the (blinkless) idle animation, they do blink in this pose in every game it's used in
You know what doesnt ever blink? Gastrodon!
THATS WHY THEY SCARE ME!
If I have to be the only Ambipom appreciator out there, I will be
I always thought they missed the easy idea to give it a gorilla stance with the front arms and then a couple serious fists on the tails, really pump it up
That...actually could have been kinda cool.
Move away from cute monkey to tough...almost lemur or other monkey-like animal with long arms and a tail.
@@cymtastique yeah I guess gorilla was the wrong term, but move away from the spindly and give it more monkey
‘Someone to fall in love with it’ and that someone is ME, I got a commission from someone on Etsy to make me a shiny Aipom plush and I love it
And god dammit I love Ambipom too, I named mine Popcorn
Like they say, every pokemon is someone's favorite pokemon.
Popcorn!! What a cute name! I also love Aipom and Ambipom lol. Just little guys
@@eeyuup Hell, I've even seen people who love Simisage, the Pokemon (at least for a time) voted as the absolute least popular in the entire catalogue-
@@damienearl8302 how, simisage is honestly the coolest out of the 3 monkeys in Unova
@@_rosmarino Guess they're just a bit forgettable, maybe?
I bet the person who designed the unova elemental monkeys is the same person who designed ambipom
That information doesn't seem to exist on the internet, but Takao Unno was the responsible for designing not only Pansage Pansear and Panpour but also the entire Infernape evolution line, so you're probably right
@@zoboothemafoo How do you go from Infernape to the Pan-line?? Like what a drop in quality
I never noticed how weird those arms are on ambipom, now I can't stop staring at them
Aipom is the perfect definition of the legendary line "It is evolving, just backwards".
Ironically enough, that can literally apply to some Pokemon in the new games as well...
@@goldlight1322 They do evolve, but they barely change if at all, looking at you Pawmi and Bramblin
@@lassenker07 Not quite what I was referring to, actually. Spoilers below just in case anyone hasn't beaten the game yet.
I was actually referring to how some Paradox Pokemon (the Scarlet exclusives from the past, specifically) have evolved in the more traditional sense to become weaker versions. This is probably most evident with how Koraidon's entire species eventually became Cyclizar, losing a good deal of their power, the abilities to climb, glide, and even swim, among other things. It takes the entire Cyclizar species hundreds if not thousands of years to effectively regain those abilities as Miraidon.
@@goldlight1322 Ooh ok, pardon my ignorance
@@lassenker07 No worries. My initial comment was intentionally pretty vague so it's easy to see how it could be misinterpreted.
Live action Aipom is absolute nightmare fuel. They did the opposite of how bug Pokemon abstract away unsettling features by showing us the giant person-crushing molars Aipom would actually have.
And then they decided to push that further by making a scene where it gets nuclear raibies!
Yeah the blank eyes combined with human teeth while lacking a nose are terrifyibg
😭 😭 AMBIPOM I ❤ U
Edit: I watched the rest of the short ☹️
This comment is so sad lmao
"Look how they massacred my boy"
lol
Ambipom always stood out to me as a "beautiful in an ugly way" 'mon. Sort of like a pug. Also the hands are inflated gloves not cow udders
I love how the design of aipom in the Detective Pikachu movie can go from cute to scary lol
I like ambipom. Something about the weirder Pokemon designs has always appealed to me, and he's a lot of fun to use.
Same!!
I haven't even used him yet but I can't wait to do so! I love Technician!
Oh man, I didn't expect to find you here. I love your throne of mud fanfiction! Take care!
Ive been Mandela effected. I always thought Ambipom just got bigger and grew thumbs on the hands
I was wrong
I've always been really scared of ambipom. Like... Actively avoiding it whenever possible. I remember in Arceus Legends I found an alpha one and apparently made a noise like a wounded animal
I love aipom's idle animation, the little leg being held up is so cute and it's so bouncy
Its arms need hands. If they're gonna have elbows, they need hands. It's not chibi anymore, give it HANDS
I always hated how ambipoms tails had inflated rubber gloves on them
Aipom looks a LOT less scary than I remember lol
Ambipom is, unironically, my favourite pokemon.
it's starting to become a pattern that tb skyen doesn't like the evolutions of those who didnt have an evolution in gen 2
in this case he is totally right
To be fair, most of the cross-gen evolutions introduced in Gen IV are just... bad
One of the issues I find with the evolutions in DPP is that the design motifs and stylisation of the gen 4 Pokemon are so radically different from gens 1-3, it just creates a dissonance. They don't connect well as result. Gen 1-2 had a clear cut style. Gen 3 was the transitional period, especially with a heavy slew of new Pokemon. Gen 4 completed the style change and the other gens took what Gen 4 did and built on that. Imagine if Snivy or Scorbunny were designed back in the 90s, they would look considerably different. Harder edges, thicker lines, a bit gritty and not as intricately detailed.
I feel that pattern will likely be broken since Yanma isn't to far away.
Which will change when he gets to Murkrow and Misdreavus, I hope
I feel as though I’m one of the few people who like Ambipom and think it’s cute
UPDATE:
Not sure if it’s just me or anyone else but every time I look at Ambipom I get 1920’s-1930’s rubberhose cartoon character vibes from it mixed in with a bit of flapper girl vibes.
It’s the bob cut. And the hand-tails. And the cheeky grin.
Skyen: “It’s a creature for someone to fall in love with”
It’s me. I promise. It’s me.
For once I agree with Skyen's negative Pokémon opinion, Ambipomb is an abomination
I kind of agree... and _still_ love it. And no, it's _not_ because of how abominable it is.
Personally, I adore Ambipom. Course, I have a thing for Normal types lol
And nipples.
@@isidoreaerys8745 perhaps...
honestly i really love ambipom, i really find so cute :(
I've actually really like Ambipom. I dunno if it's cuz of the anime or the figurine I had as a kid or just that it's one of my favorite colors, or maybe all three lol
Whatever the...nose is (or what's on it) looks like a skeleton nose.. it makes ambipom look even creepier.
I can no longer Unsee the cow udder hands
I actually really love his dorky teen energy
This is my least favorite evolution. He starts out so adorable only to turn into a nightmare
The changes to Ambipoms face also ruin the magic a little. The cute round eyes are now elongated and weird, the impish smile is a lot thinner and feels like a grimace, and that nose just clutters the face. I think it would have been more effective to make Ambipom a bit more ape-like instead of exclusively monkey-like. Maybe have it hunch over a little, balancing on it's knuckles slightly, making it's face a bit more devilish, having more of a smirk than a smile. Instead of a bowl cut give a bit more spikes like Aipoms cowlick. the tail is fine, just get ride of the red and maybe move one of the fingers downwards to resemble a thumb instead.
TFW you’re the only one that really likes Ambipom
No you're not! I like it too. So does the guy above your comment on my end (Goldenheart388).
Ambipom is great, I don't understand the hate for it (apart from the face I think)
I used to not really care about Aipom but then I read the pokemon adventure/special manga and seeing Gold's Aibo act as a 3rd arm for Gold's shenanigans made me love him.
The manga really showed that it's not just Pokemon ability but also Trainer ingenuity that makes for Pokémon battles.
But while Gold was great with his pool stick, Giovanni's ability to throw a pokeball faster than you can declare an attack is just boss.
I wouldve loved to see a evolution of called NaPalm or something similar making it a normal fire type
But I love Ambipom he's just a little guy
I actually really like ambipom. It's face is weird yes, but I used in legends and I've grown to really like it since it helped out tons. Maybe it's nostalgia from the anime but I like it (plus it's shiny is good)
Ambipom seems like a great costume for a serial killer to take tbh I kinda love the idea of seeing it holding a knife and covered in blood
Ambipom is one of those pokemon I've never understood the hate for. I've always Adored it
I think I saw this guy before selling for $1.88 bucks at a gas station lmao
They them glove balloons from SpongeBob
Y’know, thinking about this, I feel like Ambipom’s somewhat uncanny nature might be why the devs of the fangame Pokémon Insurgence decided to use that initial uncanniness to their advantage by turning it up to eleven and making the delta varient of the Aipom line Normal/Ghost types. Doubling down on the uncannily long arms while giving them long, clawed fingers, on top of giving Ambipom blank, soulless eyes and that floating head really makes it look like something I wouldn’t want to run into in a dark alley while alone at night. Tbh it really makes me wish that the back sprite for Delta Ambi added onto what they did for Delta Aipom, with the idea of them staring down the actual player themselves. Maybe since Aipom can only really press up its face against the screen, after having gained more power after evolving, it could’ve had one of those creepy looking hands outstretched towards the screen while staring them down, as if trying to break out of the confines of the game to grab hold of them within the real world. But hey, that’s just my take on things.
I see what you mean but something about ambipom makes me happy, maybe the colours, they are really pleasing
Pokémon really just looked at Aipom and said
"What if Tinky Winky?"
Aipom evolves:
"Look how they massacred my boy"
Ambipon feels like a freaky fusion of Dora and Boots but they forgot to add their fun and charm to that freaky fusion, so know it’s a bastardized funless freaky fusion in a fantastical funny world
Aipom: Cute little cheeky guy Ambipom: Eldritch nightmare
Leave my baby alone! Lol
I completely prefer the anime version.
Aipom: I love him!
Ambipom: Oh no what happened
Eww, this needs a third form, now... Something cool or a juggler!
normal/fairy?
ooo, juggler is a great idea actually
I think Ambipom is cute.
Pokémon: gives aipom an evolution
TB: *violent objections*
Aipom: My goat
Ambipom: My goat is washed
Ambipom looks like a telatubby and my mind will never change
Ambipom is the first pokemon ive encountered that made me go, out loud, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?"
LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOI
'gregarious' has to be your favorite word I think
Ambipom is extremely adorable, and I will die on that hill
Ambipom looks like it's on several watchlists
Ambipom is just out of a horror movie.
I LOVE AIPOM AND AMBIPOM they're one of my favourite pokemons... I remember playing pokepark on my wii when I was little, I didn't even speak English back then so I had NO idea what's going on but there was a minigame to spin and jump with these little guys and it was so fun to me. For every pokemon there will always be someone to love it. Maybe these little guys aren't special to others but they are special to me and absolutely a buddy I'd love to have on a fun pokemon adventure! :)
I love Aipom. Ambipom looks like he peaked in High School
Now that you said cow udders, i cannot unsee it.
Thanks... now I will never be able to unsee the cow udder hands lol
You could say this evolution was a MONKEYS PAW wish.
I never thought of them as cow udders before this video, now I wish I can get back the past minute where I have not thought of them as that
The only reaction to seeing Ambipom
Now I will never be able to NOT see cow udders.
A video Lockstin and Noggin will be happy to see
I sometimes feel like Ambipom is the single Pokemon that makes me re-think about Gen 4 ever being good, when a third of it's designs consist of like...evolutions to previous mons that a large amount of people reasonably dislike.
Ambipom is one of those mons that looked better in 2d for some reason. Or maybe it's just nostalgia.
This man really be bullying fictional animals
I absolutely forgot ambipom existed
I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Detective Pikachu movie, but it’s a good thing I loved the Pokémon’s designs, especially Aipom.
These cheeky monke were adorable and slightly uncanny while normal, and hilariously terrifying when coked up on that purple mist.
This is what esports should be
And the jack-o-lantern nose!
Ambipom is an affront to good Pokemon design honestly.
I do enjoy Aipom and tried using one before but I haven't for a hot minute now. While Ambipom isn't my most favorite pokemon I do like it's cry. ^^
Ambipom is my favorite pokemon and I feel personally attacked
I totally just realized something about Ambipom after seeing it next to Aipom... It kinda looks like the purple Teletubby... 😱
Aipom looks like Tinky Winky 😳
I feel like I'm the only one who likes Ambipalm.
Nah he’s dope af love him
I live ambipom. Literally one if my favourite pokemon.
Just noticed Ambipom grows a mustache, even tho neither of them has a visible nose lol
99% sure that's supposed to be its nose
Aipom didn’t need an evolution… so many didn’t NEED An Evolution
Ambipom should be like a baboon or mandrill or something with those larger arms that are actually arms instead of udders.
I LOVE AIPOM AND AMBIPOM!!!!! I have Aipom as a plush in my gaming corner!!! 💜💜💜
I thought Ambipom looked cool!
Aipom has widespread appeal. Definitely a fan-favourite people love to death. Cheeky mascot monkey has many loyal supporters.
Ambipom feels so close to a good design. It growing bigger, similar to larger simmians and apes, and going ambidexterous seems like a natural evolution, but perhaps it's a little over designed. I myself am not a fan of the nose and haircut, and I do think the tails could do with some thumbs or joints to sell the hands look.
But otherwise Ambipom certainly hasn't knocked me off the evolution line, unlike many others. I know that there still a fair-few Ambipom devotees out there that are happy with what we got, but I can't help but feel like there was some missed large scale mascot-ability with the line that was lost in the transition between evolution.
I have the reverse idea when it comes to competitive. Aipom is just so cute that it's design tells me it can do much. Ambipom, however, can be quite nasty in competitive with a design to match. That mon helped me take my first Frontier Brain.
Ambipom kinda reminds me of a teletubby or something
I love Aipom, but Ambipom can rot in the deepest pits of hellfire
Ambipom was an abomination, and I still refuse to acknowledge it as the evolution of the adorable Aipom.
I eagerly await gen 3 reviews for lileep/cradily specifically xD
I always found Ambipom to be displeasing, but I could never place why. Thank you for validating and supporting my opinion.
I always liked Ambipom myself. I can understand why people don’t like its design but I’ve always had a spot for it.
It look like it's constantly making air quote
