I'll be using the recently released Tears of the Kingdom as an excuse to talk about some Mechanical Engineering and Simple Machines

    The mention of Ventaworm got me thinking: A creature that is the enemy of Ventaworm and has a science of Pigment/Color focus could be a very fun nod to the Stewart Semple/Anish Kapoor rivalry.
  • @Reptidin0
    Is it just me, or did the section on inclined planes 4:51 just give us a sneak peek into the development of the game? That certainly looks like a playable character we’d be walking around as…
  • @someoneawesome8717
    I don't know if you're going to see this as it's quite late but the first creature to come to my mind for a trebuchet was a grasshopper, with the elastic forces they use to launch themselves
  • @ogopogoagogo
    As for how a Trebuchet Mon could work, the first idea I had was a pair of duo Mon of an Eagle and Tortoise whose main ability works in tandem with eachother similar to Dondozo and Tatsugiri. With it being a subversion of how Eagles drop Tortoises from high altitudes to break their shell, only the Eagle Mon is using the Tortoise Mon as ammo to break down a much larger target.

    every day that nortist uploads is a good day!
  • @MJ-sy2en
    I'll take this as my graduation gift. I'm graduating today. :)
  • @phlan6850
    For an electrical mon you can have a resistor that has a split evo into a capacitor or an inductor
  • Not sure if you've used this concept yet, but for the clockwise/ counterclockwise mon, I would definitely look into chirality in organic chem. Essentially, properties of molecules with the same structure differ based on if they're arranged clockwise or counterclockwise. Could definitely be an interesting addition to your region
  • This is the coolest scorpion fakemon I think I've ever seen. Namely that final stage.
  • @1TitanicFan1
    Can't wait till my major Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering gets its own design. Keep up the great work.
  • Process engineering uses a lot of thermodynamics, and a creature based on the refrigerant cycle would be so interesting. It could be like a heat pump with fire and ice typing, representing how heat is never “created”, but is transferred from one place to another. Love this series, keep up the great work!

    0:03 machination is not just a fancy word for machine
  • @syweb2
    I really appreciate your voice and sense of humor, they bring a certain vibe to these videos that really brings them together.
  • @cosmetics72
    oh boy I love how the new video is here after I'm out of school
  • @KimFareseed
    5:14 And there you peak my interest again. Be it Robot Wars or Battlebots, heavy or ant weight, there is something about these machines that are so facinating to watch.
  • I know this isn't the focus of the video, but I love the Paper Mario-esque design and animation of the player avatar, I hope that stays in the final product
  • @RoninCatholic
    Axes are one of my favorite things. Nice to see where engineering crosses over with my passion for armaments of antiquity LOL
  • @dialog_box
    i think it would be really cool to see another 3-stage mon based on the first three simple machines. or maybe a 3-stage based on the three types of levers, and a 2-stage based on the pulley and the wheel and axel
  • Here's an idea for how you can incorporate the clockwise/counterclockwise thing for Scrupion: it should have a Clockwise Form with higher attacking stats and a Counter-Clockwise Form with higher defensive stats, and it switches between the two when it uses its signature move. Basically Aegislash lol, but it makes sense!
