"Hey so you do pokemon designs. You design fakemon, right? What if. What if you-"

and I immediately went to twitter where people were talking about it. Somebody made a chart of all of Markiplier's Smash picks in loose categories. I poured over the video, noting every reaction to the pokemon he enthusiastically smashed and hard passed. I analyzed body types, themes, concepts, came up with a clear picture.

A presentation was made. canvasses littered with circles and notes. An audience formed as I designed it live. Color palettes were made, body shapes and concepts shot in and out of existence. We lost our collective minds as we reached for the perfect design. The exact kind of pokemon that would fit a specific set of criteria.

We did it.

We made a Psychic/Water type Deep-sea alien.

I wasn't done though. I waited patiently, hoping for the trend of pokemon smash or pass videos to reach more people. I didn't find many I wanted to do.

Until ProZD made one.

Nobody had analyzed his video like people had for Markiplier's, so I catalogued every single pokemon he Smashed, Passed, how much, the types of all of them, body types, themes. For at least a week, I was fixated. Captivated by the process. I couldn't replicate the storm that was my first design, but I didn't want to. This time, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I went live again, with friends and strangers alike, and made another.

Swolder, the weightlifting pokemon. Fighting/Fire type.
