Chibi Noctowl


Commentary:
I know that Ash had a shiny Noctowl which was quite cool, but that is about it. I never bothered using Noctowl in any nuzlocke or any run in general. So yeah, I do not have much to say about this Pokemon. I mean the design looks alright, but nothing to cool that would give me an urge to use it. I mean this Pokemon was suggested so there must be something cool there, but I do not know personally see here.


Pokedex Entry:
Most of Noctowl's entries make sense. Over time, Noctowl has developed the ability to see in murky darkness and minimal light. Combined with its extremely soft feathers that does not produce sound when it flies, Noctowl never fails to catch its prey in the darkness. It has been given the name of "Emperor of Dark Nights." I understand that Noctowl is probably nocturnal and hunts probably around midnight, however, does Noctowl still have 100% catching its prey on nights it is not too dark and murky? I would assume that is has close to 100% catching rate but is kind of funny of thinking that Noctowl failing during not as dark days and completely flourishing in catching prey on darker days. Hey, evolution I guess. Anyways, when Noctowl needs to think it rotates its head 180 degrees. Alright makes sense. Surprisingly though, according to Ultra Sun’s Pokedex entry, when Noctowl is troubled by something, it turns its head upside down and if you do not leave it, it will peck you. What!? I know owls can turn their heads 180 degrees, so the previous entry makes sense, but being able to rotate its head 180 degrees so that its face is upside down when facing you. What is Noctowl's neck made of? 
 
Model Details:
Pages: 1
Height: 2.06 in / 5.23 cm
Width: 2.60 in / 6.60 cm
Depth: 2.70 in / 6.86 cm
Notes: This model is not too difficult to build. When making the headpiece, make the two sides and then close the headpiece by attaching both sides to the middle piece. Furthermore, to get the model to stand use the two legs and the tail to create a tripod. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Mega Blastoise


Commentary:
I do not have much to say about Mega Blastoise. Looks cool aethestically, as it looks like a natural evolution for Blastoise, has some great coverage moves with dark pulse and aura sphere, and gains some extra defense and special attack. All around great evolution if I had to rank the Kanto starters mega evolution, I would have to rank it 3rd just shy (like barely) of Mega Venusaur. Sorry if you wondered Mega Charizard X must be my favorite. Come on a black dragon with blue fire. It just looks too cool.

Pokedex Entry:
According to its one Pokedex entry, Mega Blastoise's cannon is a powerful tank gun and through its strong back and leg, can withstand the recoil from firing its cannon. I mean this entry makes sense. But all I can imagine now is Mega Blastoise not having the ability to withstand the recoil and thus falling on its back and not being able to get back up. Something like flipping a turtle or ladybug struggling to get up.

Model Details:
Pages: 2
Height: 3.75 in / 9.53 cm
Width: 2.70 in / 6.86 cm
Depth: 3.67 in / 9.32 cm
Notes: This model is not difficult to build. Once the head, body, and cannon are built, glue them together. Then use the tail to create a tripod with the legs to allow the model to stand. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tune!

x-x-5 Crossbow Master Dart Monkey

 



Commentary:
The design of the monkey is quite cool as it looks like an assassin with a crossbow, somewhat like Hawkeye but with a crossbow, but I do not know how good this monkey performs. When watching a YouTube video of this monkey in action, it looks like it just shoots very quickly, does a lot of damage and 90% of the time gets a crit. I assume a crit means that it does more damage. Besides that, I do not know if this monkey upgrade is any good.

 Entry:
According to its description. The crossbow master shoots fast and devastates most bloon types for ease. From this I assume this monkey is mainly bloon popping power, but that is it.

Model Details:
Pages: 3 or 6
Height: 2.75 in / 6.99 cm or 5 in / 12.7 cm
Width: 2.49 in / 6.32 cm or 4.53 in / 11.51 cm 
Depth: 2.69 in / 6.83 cm or 4.90 in / 12.45 cm
Notes: These model has two sizes, the bigger the model the easier the model is to build.  If you have built other bloon tower defense monkeys...then go build my other models if you haven't, but also, the build follows the basic steps of the other ones. For this model in specific, when building the head build the hood first but do not close it. Then build the face and free hand trim it to fit inside the hood. Then build the body down to the hips attaching the arms when you get to that section of the body. Attach the head to the body and only after that build and attach the crossbow and quiver. Now free hand glue the legs in the general location on where they are supposed to be and then use the tail to help the model stand. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Entei


Commentary:
So…  in one of the early Pokemon movies (the one with all the unknowns), wasn't Entei orginally a human that got changed into the legendary Pokemon. I mean if so, doesn't that flat out reject the legend that Ho-oh revived three Pokemon (I like the theory of those Pokemon being Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon). I don't know I usally just type whatever comes to my head regarding this Pokemon. I do remember this being a pain to catch it in Soulsilver when it was a roamming legendary. I remember thinking I could just put them to sleep, and they would not run from the battle, but no they still can run when they are asleep. It must be sleep walking or has some instinct to. Despite playing FireRed, I did not know I could encounter Entei in the game and never bothered trying. Also, I do have that shiny Entei Pokemon released close to a decade ago.  

Pokedex Entry:
Alright Entei's Pokedex entries are quite consistent throughout the games. Entei is said to embody the passion of magma and a new one is said to be born every time an eruption happens. Furthermore, it is rumored every time an Entei barks, a volcano erupts somewhere around the globe. So theoretically, you could create an army of Enteis by training an Entei to bark on command and then have a team determine where the new Entei was born and rinse and repeat until you have any army of a legendary Pokemon. I do have to admit these entries do takeout the mystical essence of Entei as I thought that it was a Ho-oH who revived a burning Pokemon in the burning tower thus creating the ONE and only Entei. 

Model Details:

Height: 2.90 in / 7.37 cm
Width: 2.41 in / 6.12 cm
Depth: 3.66 in / 9.30 cm
Download: 3D Model / Templates
Notes: The only difficult part of the model is building the face. First build the head but do not close the head. Then attach the grey mouth to the red eyes and finally glue the yellow part like the picture below, but make sure to glue the yellow part on top of the grey part. Close the HEAD with the piece shown below. Regarding the body, just make sure to put a small weight like a penny or an eraser cap to allow the model to stand up by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tune! 
Place the grey piece inbetween the head and the yellow piece


Leave this part open until you finish building the entire head

Chibi Quilava

Commentary:
I do remember running through Soulsilver with a Quilava before. I just remember being completely surprised when it evolved at level 14 right after I defeated Faulkner. I was then pissed off that it took until level 36 to evolve it to a Typholsion because by that time in the game Quilava was falling behind the rest of my team. I feel like starters should evolve at 16 and then again at 32 or 34. It just feels more natural to me. Fun fact, Quilava was the first papercraft I made without lines. Why do I remember this? Well because I remember sitting in front of the computer to find make sure to fold every line (which is not necessary). 

                           Typhlosion               Cyndaquil



Pokedex Entry:
According to the Pokedex, Quilava is a highly nimble Pokemon that can dodge attacks while scorching its opponents. Furthermore, Quilava likes intimidating its foes by turning its back and demonstrating how ferociously its fire blazes and the heat of its flame; the stronger the flame the more ready it is to fight. When I first read about this, all I could think of is a group Quilava performing this intimidation factor like the New Zealand Rugby team's Haka prior to a match. If you have not seen this, go on YouTube and search it. The other entry is somewhat weird. According to Pokemon Silver and Pokemon FireRed, Quilava can withstand any kind of fire attack. UhhhhhhhI don't think so. I do not believe a low level Quilava will be surviving an eruption from a full health Primal Groudon in the sun. There are probably more crazy examples than the one I provided, but I cannot think of any off the top of my head. 

Model Detail:
Pages: 1
Height: 2.05 in / 5.21 cm
Width: 1.22 in / 3.10 cm
Depth: 2.46 in / 6.25 cm
Notes: This model is simple to build. When making the flames, you can just fold the white sides on top of each other causing only the color to be shown and then trim the excess white parts off. Make sure to put a small weight inside the body so the model can stand by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tune!

Chibi Swampert


Commentary:
I have to admit Hoenn has the best starters. In my opinion they are all good (As in aesthetics and usability in the main game). I remember using Swampert in Emerald and the fan created game Light Platinum, but no stories to tell. I do have to admit though that Swampert seems the worst out of the Hoenn trios as Whishcash and Quagsire, in my opinion, fills the exact same role as Swampert.

Pokedex Entry:
Lucky for me, Swamperts has two pokedex entries in general that makes sense. The first states that Swampert can predict storms by sensing subtle differences in the sounds of waves and tidal waves with its fin. It then piles up boulders to protect itself. How does it gather all these boulders? Well, Swampert is known to have rock-hard arms that can tow large ships, easily drag a boulder weighing about a ton, break a boulder into pieces, and Swampert use its arms bash its foes in battle. Until you can accomplish these feats do not be flexing your arms at me. So altogether we have learned that Swampert has some strong arms on it. 

Model Details:
Pages: 2
Height: 2.65 in / 6.73 cm
Width: 2.20 in / 5.59 cm
Depth: 2.76 in / 7.01 cm
Notes: This model has two things I must highlight. When making the orange spikes on its cheeks, you will need to free hand glue them to the cheeks. DO NOT glue them to the other spike. You may need to trim the spikes to your desired length. After building the body and attaching it to the head, the last thing you will build is the tail. When making the tail, you will need to free hand cut the tail so that it can easily attach to the body AND allow the model to stand by itself. You will need to play with the angle of how you glue it on, but it should not take too long to cut and attach Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tune!

Chibi Braviary



Commentary:
This was one of the main reasons why I wanted to play Pokemon White over Pokemon Black. Braivary just looks so cool. A bald eagle that screams USA, I will take that. Unfortunately, I did not know that you could only catch Rufflet on the route prior to the elite four, so I had to wait all game to catch it. Then I did not realize that it evolved quite late at level 54, so I was stuck with Rufflet on my team for quite a long time. You are probably expecting some great story regarding how Braviary was amazing, and it took out many members of the elite four. Yeah no, Braviary was quite average. I do not remember anything specific about it. I just remember using it against the fighting dude (His name is --- I had to google it after typing this) and that was it. Nothing special at all. I do have to admit though its shiny is kind of cracked though. (I like it for you boomers).

 

I helped Paperpokes make a bigger version of this Pokemon you can go check it out at http://www.pokemonpapercraft.net/2021/07/braviary.html

Pokedex Entry:

Known as the "Hero of the sky," Braviary reminds of a dog of the sky. Braviary is known to fight for its friends without thinking about the dangers that will occur to itself. That was the only entry that made think Braviary was a dog was the sky, but that was like the first thought I had about this Pokemon. Other entries state that the more scars Braviary has the more heroic Braviary is. Furthermore, Braviary is hotheaded and belligerent and thus that is why Corviknight taken its role of transportation in Galar. I do not get this one. It just comes out of nowhere. Nowhere in any of the other entries does it mention anything regarding Braviary's negative traits or hint at its hotheadedness or belligerent so that was kind of odd. Fun fact though, Braviary can carry the weight of a car. Wonder how they figured that one out?

 

Model Details:
Pages: 1
Height: 2.75 in / 6.99 cm
Width: 3.16 in / 8.03 cm
Depth: 3.03 in / 7.70 cm
Notes: When building the head, build the face then the spikes around its head. Then continue building the rest of the head. Attach the head to the body once both are completed. The model can stand by itself as it balances on its two legs and tail. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Pokemon Trainer Red



Commentary:
Before I begin go check out DavidA3D he helped make this model possible.

Also, I am going to talk about Red from the main series games not from the origin series. The origin series Red is alright, but I did really like that Red. The only thing I liked about that Red was that he used a Mega Charizard X. The Red from the games,in my opinion, just seems more arrogant and it goes well with him being one of the greatest trainers of all-time. I like that you have climb a snowy mountain in order to battle to emphasize only the best of the best can conquer this mountain and then challenge Red. The only things I sort of do not understand is, depending how long he has been on top of the mountain in which I assume a long time, how did he get the necessary resources for him and his Pokemon survive and how come he became mute (Do not tell me ........... is a language). I remember when I first challenged Red in Soulsilver, I was completely shocked by the levels of his Pokemon. I was expecting level 60s-70s for his Pokemon not mid to high 80s. So, after seeing my Feraligatr level 62 go up against a level 87 Pikachu I immediately soft reset and returned to the Elite Four for some grinding. I do not remember how I beat Red again, but I did. I know quite anti-climactic. I did run a heavily cheated run (with an Action Replay) when playing HeartGold and I do remember used a level 100 Arceus and just one-shotted everything with judgement.  

Red's Pokemon

                                     Charizard      Venusaur     Blastoise



Model Details:
Pages: 2 or 4 or  8
Height: 3.50 in / 8.89 cm -- 6in / 15.24 cm -- 9in / 22.86 cm
Width: 1.43 in / 3.63 cm -- 2.46 in / 6.25 cm -- 3.69in / 9.37 cm
Depth: 1.44 in / 3.66 cm  -- 2.46 in / 6.25 cm -- 3.69in / 9.37 cm
Notes: 

This model comes in different sizes. The bigger the model is, the easier the model is to build. I HIGHLY recommend that you have Pepakura open when you are building as the model is still difficult regardless of the size. In general, for building this model is to start at the hat and work downwards. When you get to the arms and hands build them separately and then attach them to the body. Then, continue building downwards building the legs right on the body. When making the shoes, I put an eraser off the back of a pencil in each one and free hand glued the shoes to the legs so the white parts between the connection (between the shoes and legs) was not showing. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Rufflet




Commentary:
I remember wanting to use a Briavary in game when Pokemon White first came out. Even though, I did eventually get a Briavary I do not remember anything about this Pokemon. I will admit that it looks like a natural pre-evolution to Braviary, but that is all I have to say about it. Oh yeah, I just thought of something. Its shiny version looks ugly. 

If you are interested in building a more detailed version of this mode go check out http://www.pokemonpapercraft.net/2021/06/rufflet.html




Pokedex Entry:
When I was reading through Rowlet's Pokedex entries I was like "Ah this was going to be easy since there are only straight forward entries." The entries make sense for a bird type of Pokemon. Rufflet uses its talon to crush berries with its talon and Rufflet also has a chip on its shoulder as it will stand up to any opponent regardless of its strength. Then suddenly there is a graphic Pokedex entry stating that the strength of its legs of so strong that it can crack the shell of Shellder and pluck out their inside. Holy crap now all I can think about is a Rufflet ruthlessly destroying Shellder's shells and then eating them like a midday snack. 
 
Model Details:
Pages: 1
Height: 2.00 in / 5.08 cm
Width: 1.88 in / 4.78 cm
Depth: 1.73 in / 4.39 cm
Notes: This model is not difficult to build. Just build the head and body separately then attach them together once completed. Just keep in mind that the model will be leaning back a bit as the legs and tail will create a tripod allowing it to stand by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Mega Venusaur


Commentary:
I have to admit Nintendo did a fantastic job with the mega evolutions for the original starters. Mega Venusaur just looks like the natural evolution to Venusaur (Not to mention much cooler as it continues the trend of the tree growing on its back). Furthermore, I know this Pokemon could be an annoying tank on Showdown. If you did not have a bug, flying, or psychic move, it was a pain to take outwith it constantly recovering HP with leech seed, synthesis, or giga drain. Even fire and ice type moves were not too effective as its thick fat ability weakened those attacks. For those reason, despite there probably being better options, whenever I was trying to create a troll stall team, I would try to include this Pokemon. Also, Mega evolution to my one of my favorite starters... can't go wrong. 

    


Pokedex Entry:
According to the pokedex, In order to adjust to the heavier flower on its back, Mega Venusaur has to become stronger. Yeah, makes sense. My only question is how Venusaur instantly becomes stronger when it mega-evolves and then become immediately weaker when it de-evolves. I think either Mega evolution speeds time up so Venusaur to comfortly gain or lose muscle, or the more unethical way is when Venusaur evolves and de-evolves, it is given some sort of drug to beefen and weaken. Unless Pokemon have a special way of quickly editing them biology those are the only two ways I can think of. 

Model Details:
Pages: 3
Height: 2.75 in / 6.99 cm
Width: 4.30 in / 11.00 cm
Depth: 4.48 in / 11.38 cm
Notes: Well, I have made a video you can watch to build this Pokemon, this is the closest to instructions I will make. The only suggestion I have is when building the tree on its back. Build the tree prior to closing the back. Unlike the video just place the trunk and branches of the tree first. Then, attach the bottom green layer to the body and then the green leaves on the smaller branches. Next, attach the pink leaves to the tree. Yeah, for some reason I did the last three steps in reverse making it much harder to build the model, so those are the only changes from the video I would make. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned!

Chibi Charizard


Commentary:
Before I begin, go check out Guillermomate who help me make this model. I used this Pokemon once in a run-through. You can read the Charmeleon commentary to figure out why. I used this Pokemon in Soulsilver. I had not used one before and I wanted to see if Charizard, in my opinion, was any good. After defeating Johto, I headed to Kanto and took the Charmander Professor Oak offered me. I immediately gave it the exp. share and grinded it up to the same level as all my other Pokemon in my party and went to battle Lt. Surge. Yeah there was a glaring hole in my team. I had Feraligatr and Charizard😅. I do not exactly remember the rest of the team, but I got destroyed Lt. Surge many times. I think the only reason why I beat Lt. Surge was RNG, but yeah... Charizard's first impression wasn't the greatest. I mean after that hiccup, Charizard was alright for the rest of the run.




Pokedex Entry:
According to the Pokedex entries, Charizard's fiery breath can reach extremely high temperatures that it can melt glaciers weighing up to 10,000 tons. I have no idea how hot that has to be🔥, but I assume that it is really hot. Another entry states that when it is furious the flame on its tip turns bluish white. I guess that the Charizardite X just makes Charizard extremely furious to get it to breath blue fire🤪. Besides that the other Pokedex entries states basic facts about Charizard like Charizard can fly at an altitude at of 4600 feet, can accidently cause forest fire (oooookay😅), never turns its fiery breath against a weaker opponent (aw cute🥰), and its flame burns hotter when experiencing harsh battles.

Model Details:
Pages: 2
Height: 3.00 in / 7.62 cm
Width: 3.45 in / 8.76 cm
Depth: 3.19 in / 8.10 cm
Notes: This model is quite straightforward. Build the head and body separately. Make sure to attach the horns and wings prior to closing their respective locations. After building the head and body glue them together. The model can stand by itself. Besides that, I hope you enjoy building and stay tuned😁!
