Chibi Dartrix



Commentary:
This Pokemon gives off the vibes of a nice smug scholar. When looking at this Pokemon, it reminded me of two other characters. For some reason, this Pokemon reminds me of a Pokemon version of the Castle Valet Darach from the Sinnoh battle frontier with its slick hair and put together look. The more strange character this Pokemon reminds me of is Owl (this is his actual name I was surprised when I googled it) from Winnie the Pooh. They look nothing a like but I just thought about him when making this model.

Pokedex Entry:
I mean my assumption about this Pokemon was sort of right. According to the Pokedex, Dartrix is a narcissistic Pokemon (I guess I was somewhat right regarding it looking smug) and a clean freak. The clean freak a surprising fact about this Pokemon. Apparently, it takes extreme care in preening its feathers and its preoccupation with any dirt in its plumage can lead it unable to battle. No wonder stage 1 Pokemon are stereotypically called teenagers as this one acts like a teenage girl always worrried about its appearance.

Width: 1.96 in / 4.98 cm
Depth: 2.17 in / 5.51 cm

Notes: Build this model from the BOTTOM UP. Do not glue the back leaves on its butt it the white part of the model. Once you have finished building the model, play with the angle of the leaves (hence why we need glue them yet) in order to get the model to stand by itself. Once the model can stand, then glue the leaves to the white. I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Rowlet



Commentary:
Even though I never played Sun and Moon, I have decided my starter would have been Rowlet. It is so cute and it evolves into a Robinhood like owl. Incineroar who? That is all I have to say. I do not have any other experiences or funny things to stay about this Pokemon.

Pokedex Entry:
Wait, this Pokemon is a flying plant owl? According to the Pokedex, Rowlet builds up energy via photosynthesis, and at night looks for prey. HUH? I thought photosynthesis was a plant thing. I wonder how Rowlet learned to perform such a feat. This means that this Pokemon is a flying plant or somehow learned this from a plant. I do not know what to make of this, but okay. Its other entries make more sense as when Rowlet is hunting its prey, it launches its sharp feathers at the prey and when it is close to its prey it will viciuously kick it. Cool an entry explaining how it hunts for its food, but I still do not get the plant part.

Notes: This model is quite simple and a good model for beginners to build. Build the model from the top down and close the model with the piece with no tabs at the bottom of the model. The tail should allow the model to stand by itself. Besides that I hope you enjoy building and stay tune!

Total Transformation (x-5-x) Alchemist Monkey



Commentary:
When I played BTD 6 I only used the 5-0-0 monkey, so I actually did not know what this monkey was when someone requested it. I had to Google it to figure out what this monkey looked like and I also had to look up on YouTube what this monkey did. In my opinion this monkey looks like the Super monkey's laser beam but just light blue. Furthermore, its ability seems very similar to the dart monkey's ability as all the surrounding monkeys (does not have to be only alchemist monkey like the dart monkey's ability where the surrounding towers had to be dart monkeys) turn into a 0-5-0 alchemist monkey. Sorry I cannot provide any strategical opinion on this monkey as I have never used it, but I assume that this monkey would be pretty good late game.

Entry:
I cannot roast these entries as the game makes these straightforward, but according to the game its ability transforms five nearby monkeys into crazy attack monkeys for 20 seconds.

Model Details:

Height: 2.80 in / 7.11 cm
Width: 2.65 in / 6.73 cm
Depth: 2.20 in / 5.59 cm
Download: 3D Model / Templates
Notes: This model is VERY COMPLICATED to build I will do my best to explain what I did but I highly recommend that you download Pepakura Viewer to see where all the pieces are located on this model (This program opens the PDO file in the download). Well besides that here comes the somewhat long instruction list.
The first thing is to build the head, but do no close the head. Build the head spikes next. There is one tab on the right spike that connects to the head. Use this spike as a marker to guide you on where to place the other spikes on the head. 
The next item you want to build are the glasses. I am sorry I do not have a picture of the part I wanted to talk about so I will do my best to explain it. When building each goggle side, build the goggle normally then place the hexagonal red piece under the goggle so you can see the red for the eyepiece then attach the goggle to the main goggle piece. For the goggle straps, you only have to cut out part of the goggle piece and you will need to trim the ears. I have included the picture of the section that needs to be cut. You can attach the ears or straps in any order, but just make sure the straps are glued on above the ears.
When building the body you will need to free-hand glue the black part of the body to the white part
I cannot say much about the shoulders and arms besides that to follow the PDO to show where each piece goes. Also, take your time build each piece allowing the glue to dry. If you are experience enough you can avoid attaching some tabs are cover them up with different piece and still get a nice looking build
I had Pepakura Viewer up and open when I was
building this section and I recommend that you do to

When getting the model to stand, glue a small circle inside the model so there is a plane to glue the legs on. Glue on the legs and then play with the placement of the tail to get the model to stand up by itself.
Built a small circle inside the model
to glue the legs to the body


Besides that, I hope you enjoy and stay tune! I am grabbing a cookie after these instructions.

Chibi Lanturn

 


Commentary: 
I have never used this Pokemon because I thought Chinchou sprite looked, how do I say this nicely, stupid. Yep, what a great reason for never using a Lanturn in a playthrough. As I have grown older, I have started to gain a desire to use this Pokemon in the next playthrough. The reason for this new desire is I have been watching Pokemon Challenges nuzlocke Kaizo Emerald and he has used Lanturn many time to defeat Watson. The rules he has in place make the game very very very hard, considering how hard the game is already. I find it kinda of funny how despite all these difficulties, Watson still decides to use thunderbolt against Lanturn even though it has Volt Absorb. This reminds of when Chuggaconroy's run through Pokemon Gale of Darkness when the A.I. kept using normal-type moves against Misdreavus. Also, is it me or does Lanturn looks like a combination of Dory and the fish that uses its light as bait to lury in its prey.

Pokedex Entries: 
I mean I do not know what to make of Lanturn of this Pokemon. It has a pretty graphic entry like Lanturn blinds its prey with an intense burst of light and when the prey is incapacitated, the Pokemon swallows it in a single gulp. It has a scientific entry saying that the bacteria in its body allows the a strong luminscent effect to occur. It has a cute entry saying that it is nicknamed the "The Deep-Sea Star" due to its ability to illuminate the sea surface from a depth of three miles. Overall, I think they are solid and Lanturn is just like what I think it would be.

Notes: I built the model from the left to the right and close the model at the piece with no tabs that is located on the underside of the model. The light on the top is a little difficult to build but just let the glue dry after each attachment. I added a small weight, I used an eraser cap, and I played with the angle of the tail to have the model stand up properly. Besides that I hope you enjoy building and stay tune!

Chibi Regigigas

 


Commentary:
I remember be extremely excited to catch this Pokemon. I had got my hands on a copy of Emerald and went through the fun puzzles to catch the Regi trio. I transferred all of them over got my strongest Pokemon and headed straight to Snowpoint Temple. I was a little dumbfounded that Regigigas was level 1. But no biggie, I soft resetted grabbed some lower level Pokemon and eventually caught the Pokemon after a few try. I spent the next few days grinding up Regigigas to a reasonable level and was like yeah I think this Pokemon is ready to face strong Pokemon. I was ready to use it against the elite four. When I was younger I did not know about its ability slow start and how dampening this ability is on the Pokemon. When I was ready to face Aaron, I just kept getting knocked out and I immediately thought this Pokemon was useless and never used it again after that elite four run. I never even tried Regigigas after first the five turns of slow start to see its true power. Sheesh Regigigas's ability is like me not being able to comprehend anything the first 30 minutes after waking up. 


Pokedex Entry:
According to the Pokedex, Regigigas has the ability to tow continents. Wow... I did not expect that no wonder it has the ability slow start. After having to tow continents, Regigigas probably does not want to wake up from its slumber for like centuries. The other Pokedex entries state that Regigigas was believed to have shaped Regirock, Registeel and Regice out of clay, ice and magma. Wait. In Registeel's entry, it is stated that it was created in the mantle after tens of thousands of years of pressure but according to this entry, Regigigas created Registeel. So did Regigigas create part of Registeel place him in the mantle then tow continents over Registeel to bake it over tens of thousands of years and then was like I am going to take a long nap now? Because that is kinda of funny. Sounds like Regigigas's version of an afternoon project.

Notes: Ok I won't be lazy with this entry. Build the model from the head down and attach the arms and shoulder pieces as you before you close the model. Close the model with a leg or the back piece behind the legs. You will need to build a stand, or use something to allow the model to stand as it will not stand up by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Regirock

 



Commentary:
This Pokemon was on my team one time I ran through Emerald and you know.... you had all the legendaries on your team as a kid. I think I used Regirock on a team in showdown once and it was fun running weakness policy, sturdy and drain punch. Overall, this Pokemon is pretty cool. Not like oh my god I love this Pokemon, but just a little better than cool. The main reason I remember this Pokemon is because someone asked me to make a Regirock and it took me...2 years. For any one who does not build papercrafts, the Regirock I was intending to build should not have taken any longer than a few days. The worst part was that I built half of the model and then I just did not finish building. I do not know why I just stopped but it kind of just layed on my table for 2 years and then one day I was like well I should probably finish building it. If you want to see it, it is in the picture of all my papercrafts in the about me/contact me section of the website.

Pokedex Entry:
Regirock's Pokedex entries just make sense. It had been determined that Regirock has no heart or brain (duh...makes sense it is all rock). Furthermore, if any part of its body is chipped away in battle, it attaches rock around it to repair itself. This explains its other Pokedex entry because it has been discovered that the rocks from its body was unearthed from all over the world.

Notes: Build the model head down and attach the arms and back pieces before you close the model. Close the model with the piece with no tabs on the first page. This should be the piece with no tabs that you would glue behind the legs. Lastly, this model can naturally stand with a slight angle. If you want the model to stand up close to 90 degrees, use the arms as a way to get the model to stand properly.

Chibi Regidrago

 



Commentary:
Hmmm.. let see we need to make a new Pokemon. What should we base it on? Charizard? Yeah that sounds like a great idea, but so it does not look too much like Charizard let us just make its head black. Despite me bashing Pokemon for reusing Charizard's model, I actually do not mind this design. A mystical or powerful creature finding shelter inside a skull of a dragon (haha not Charizard, but we all know this is what Pokemon is implying 🤪) It seems to fit perfectly with the other Regis. Let me honest, I have no clue anything else besides this Pokemon... so yeah this section will be pretty thin regarding content.

Pokedex Entry:
The positive about making Pokemon from the Galar region is that there is only one or two Pokedex entry to talk about. Regidrago has a mythical Pokedex entry. According to the Pokedex, Regidrago is composed of dragon energy and has the powers of every dragon Pokemon. Seems very fitting for this powerful Pokemon. Also, it is unproven but Regidrago's arms were once the head of an ancient dragon Pokemon. Hmmm I wonder who this Pokemon it is refering to... Charizard (yes it is not a dragon Pokemon but you get the point) and if not who?

Chibi Registeel



Commentary:
Well I had a pretty good excuse to use this Pokemon on my team... I got a shiny... from the Jubilife trade center from Platinum. Before everyone thinks well it is fake. Well I am pretty sure it is not because the Pokemon was caught in a timer ball and had some Japanese name. Furthermore, for Platinum I could not trade hacked Pokemon through Jubilife as I tried trading away one of my friends Pokemon, but the game kept crashing. I later learned the Pokemon was hacked so..... I believe this Registeel is legit. I will take a picture of it when I get my hands on my D.S or else anyone who reads this will think I am lying. And yes, I was confused when I saw that Registeel was a different color. And I just had a thought, who would want to trade a Shiny Registeel to a random person unless it was a prank from a friend? At the end of the day, I do not care I have a legit Shiny Registeel.




Pokedex Entry:
Geology! This is this Pokemon's entry. Registeel has the hardest metal in the world and cannot be stretched. These features have occurred because this Pokemon was tempered by tens of thousands of years in the mantle. I mean I took Geology but I thought it would take longer for this Pokemon to form to create such properties on this Pokemon. I can easily be wrong as I already forget most of up I learned in Geology, but I thought it would take longer. Also, how this Pokemon escape the mantle did it just climb out because I though rock left the mantle through volcano in the form of lava? I can imagine Registeel climbing through the rocks going like why is life so dark or going like I am almost there to whatever is up there🤪.

Notes: Build the grey parts of the head first located on page one. Then build, the inside the black part and finally free hand glue the face part to the head. You will need to trim the bottom part of the face so that it fits snuggly together. Finish building downward. In order to get the model to stand by itself, I flipped the pyramids inside out. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tune!

Chibi Regieleki

 

Commentary:
I like it. This Pokémon looks aesthetically pleasing I do not why. It may be the yellow symmetrical look mirror electric currents, but ehh. I really like the Pokémon company creating more Pokemon to go with past legendary Pokemon. I prefer this compared to new forms to old legendary Pokemon. cough** cough** Zapdos cough*** Moltres cough*** Articuno cough*** cough*** sorry I had to cough while you were coincidentally reading this. New legendary Pokemon to go with past legendaries just seems right as it creates new Pokemon while pulling on the string of nostalgic fans. Besides that, I actually have no clue if this Pokemon is usable. I believe this Pokemon acts as a glass cannon with its astounding speed stat and the option to be physically or specially attacking. The only thing I do not really like about this Pokemon is that it is two foot eleven inches. I feel like the Regis should be intimating figures, but this Regieleki cannot be intimidating when being so short.

Pokedex Entry:
Well, this section will be easy to type as there are only two Pokedex entries. According to the Pokedex, Regieleki has the power to generate all of Galar of electricity. Okay this makes sense. A powerful legendary Pokemon that provide enough energy for an entire region (that is not suppose to be sarcastic). Apparently, if you remove Regieleki's rings it will unleash its latent power. Wait, so can Regieleki generate all of Galar's energy with or without the ring's on because if Regieleki can power all of Galar's power with the rings on could Regieleki power the whole Pokemon universe or will it produce too much power to cause a blackout in all of Galar? Just food for thought.

Chibi Ninetales


Commentary: 
I have never used this Pokémon like ever. I was trying to think if I have ever used this Pokémon in any Pokémon series game and I kept drawing a blank. The main reason I probably have not used this Pokémon is because I owned FireRed. Ninetales was a game exclusive to LeafGreen, so I never had a chance to use this Pokemon. I probably replayed FireRed the most out of all the Pokemon games, so I never really built a connection with Ninetales and thus never used in the future🤷‍♂️. I mean, in my Platinum game, I have a Ninetales when I attempted to complete the Pokedex, but I never used it. It is just chilling in the box doing cat things. I do have to admit I like the Alolan version of this Pokemon better than its normal form. 

Pokedex Entry:
According to the Pokedex, Ninetales was a creation from a merging of nine saints or nine wizards or nine noble saints, it depends on the game you read the entry from. This explains the number of tails it has and the naming of the Pokémon (Imagine the conversation people naming this Pokémon went. hmmm what should we name this Pokémon? Well, it has nine tales maybe we should just call it that. Well, we have 150 more Pokémon to name so I guess it works). Besides the explanation for the amount tails this Pokémon has, the Pokedex also states that this Pokémon is very smart and can live for 1000 years. Furthermore, this Pokémon is extremely vengeful. According to the early Pokedex entries, it is stated that if you pull a tail from Ninetales it will lay a 1000-year curse on you. Okay makes sense it is highly senstitve and does want to be touched. The problem I have is that a later Pokedex entry states that if you cross this Pokémon it will lay a 1000-year curse. So, what classes as crossing this Pokémon because I feel like that would depend on each Ninetales and the smallest thing could land you a 1000 year curse? Also, what is 1000 year curse? (I will let you use your imagination) Sheesh after these Pokedex entries no wonder why I never used this Pokémon.

Notes: The model is not too tough. The only hard part is the tail. When making the tail, start with the piece with two tabs and build the pyramid (tail pieces). Then close the tail with the piece with no tabs. The tuff on the head of the model is not difficult to build, but I recommend building the piece on the top right first and then attach the piece underneath it and then close the tuff with the piece that has two tabs Besides that I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Grand Saboteur Ninja Monkey (x-5-x)

 


Commentary:
I played a little bit of BTD 6 but I mainly played BTD5 a lot.... that means I have not really used this monkey in game. I have used the 0-4-0 ninja monkey a lot so I assume that this monkey is just a 0-4-0 ninja monkey on steroids. A monkey to slow down M.O.A.Bs, B.F.Bs, ZOMGs, and D.D.Ts. and provide adequate bloon popping power below. If I am using this tower wrong I would like to know how to properly use it.

Model Details:
Pages: 3
Height: 2.75 in / 6.99 cm
Width: 2.88 in / 7.32 cm
Depth: 2.50 in / 6.35 cm
Download: 3D Model / Templates
Notes:  So... this model is not easy.  I will try to be as descriptive as possible when providing the instructions for this model. If you have questions feel free to put them in the comment section below. Now let's begin. First, I built the head. When building the head build the front part of the head then build the back part of the head but DO NOT close the back part of the head. Attach both pieces like seen below so that there is no gaps between the front and back of the head.
Next, build the ears and place them in the general area in which they are in the model. It is up to you whether or not you want to shorten the ears by trimming them. After that use the ears as a guideline to attach the grey/black band that covers goes across the face of the monkey. You will need to free hand glue it and the angle of the band is up to you.
Once you glue the band half way around, close the head and then glue the rest of the headband to the head. It is up to you whether you want to build the tie (I personally did not build the circular portion of the tie in the headband and would recommend building the tie before closing the model)


Once the model is closed. Build the orange piece and free hand glue it to the back of the head.
If you have built any of my previous models, building the body is the same as the others. If you have not built any of my other models (go build them but.....), build the body from the top down, and attach the arms as you build down. Then, free hand glue the legs to the body in which the legs just cover the square in which it is suppose to be. I put cut up eraser pieces in the feet but I don't know how much use they were in keep the model standing.  For this model in specific, attach the bag pack and then use the tail to create a tripod with the legs to allow the model to stand by itself. Attaching the tail is the last thing you should attach to the model. 

Accessories:
When building the backpack the rings do not go all the way around. Therefore, you will have to print an extra page and cut a small square out of the rings the same width as the other rings and then free hand glue it on the back of the ring so that it can wrap around the entire backpack. Hopefully, I explained that well enough, but here is the picture (the white circled part).

When making the fan YOU DO NOT have to cut all the little piece, I just cut them in a way where the fan in symmetrical so you can fold it on itself  and then just glue the white side. I did not use any tabs it is up to you if you want to use them
When making the waist band, do not cut the circle part of the waist band and do not cut the tabs just cut the black rectangle and attach the black squares to the black rectangle and then attach the waist band around the body 

For the "X" on the body, place the two part of X together but do not glue them together, see if the x-fits snuggly around the body. If so glue them in the fashion you made it. If not you will need to cut one of the x-pieces into two, trim them, and glue them on opposites of the other piece and see if it fits snuggly. Keep playing with the x until it looks nice.
Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and I hope my instructions are adequate enough to understand how to build it. If you have any question post them down below and I hope you stay tuned😁.
