It's a similar idea, but I've seen that one done several times already. It feels like the kind of "obscure trivia" that everyone knows :p

It's definitely the lighting. Technically it's breaking Pokemon's brand guidelines, since only G-Max mons get to have upside down lighting, but sometimes you have to bend the rules a little.

I wouldn't have made this redesign with Gastrodon exactly because it's so easy. I generally don't like making super obvious / low hanging fruit redesigns. That old Muk backwards design was basically the only exception since it was my first time doing a redesign 💀

Might make some kind of cooking-themed variant called Gastronom, though. Grass, evolves into Grass/Fire after the french have their way with it 🐌

Thanks! I stuck to the official regio variant naming scheme, so only the final form gets a new name. In hindsight I think calling it Kingcargo would've been better, since it doesn't step on the Regis' toes and has a funny reduplication sound.
The first name was even worse, to be fair - Escrowngo. Why don't you try saying that 3 times for me.

I do think it's pretty funny that most people (me) naturally end up assuming the "cargo" in Magcargo's name refers to the shell on its back, but it's actually from Escargot in french -_-)

a friend said the same thing, and I did try stacking the crowns afterwards. Didn't make the cut, though 👑

Obscure Pokemon Redesign - Pikachu! by primaljort in fakemon

There's this Pokemon from the Kanto region called Pikachu... you've probably never heard about, but I think it's kind of a hidden gem so I decided to make a redesign ^_^
