Not sure if this story is true or apocryphal, but one explanation I’ve heard for “napoleon was short” was that French and English measures used the same / similar names but had different actual lengths, and so his height in the longer French unit was a lower value than it would be in the English unit. (If true, it was almost certainly a known thing that the measures were different and the English just decided to ignore that in an attempt to belittle Napoleon)

Maybe instead of due to the time of evolution, it may be according to the most recent find, and then the older find, which is often encountered first if you go forward to backward along time. As in for archaeology, you find the more recent fossil closer to topsoil, and you find a more ancient fossil deeper underground. So aging and evolution wise, it would make sense the earlier ancestor would evolve into a much more recently discovered descendant. But discovery wise, it makes sense that the "younger" one is one that's found more recently, while the "older" one is one that's found later much deeper in the earth during excavation. So I like your statement and I think it's fascinating.

But it's still entirely possible. And even if it's just his interpretation and not the interpretation of the original designers, it is a pretty cool interpretation that makes the pokemon seem cooler. So some of the ones I don't actually believe are intended I'm still going with, death of the author and all that.

49:49 Maybe that's what makes Heatran special or a legendary?

Also, also! Heatran being a Lava Dome, well we can say the Earth's core is kinda made up of two Lava Domes. In the 4th Gen games, there are two known Heatran: the one in Stark Mountain we catch, and the one being used in Palmer's team in the Battle Tower! That's 2 Lava Dome Pokémon-- also might explain Heatran having genders, a male and a female exists everytime for the core?

I swear, Darkrai and Cressalia in the Pokemon Journeys series were in love, they gave me a forbidden love feel, but at the same time, Darkai went to save Cressalia and those two were happy to be together. Even more when Chloe says that when Darkrai returns to New moon island, Cressalia leaves and goes to full moon island which are islands beside each other.

@alchemysaga3745

Жыл бұрын

I disagree with the idea that Cressalia has no reason to stay with Darkrai, but it doesn't eliminate the implication that they're partners of some kind. Darkrai's Ability causes other beings to stay asleep, and have eternal nightmares, _regardless of whether they want the being to!_ With the implication being that Darkrai primarily *does NOT want this to happen,* hence why Darkrai stays on their own island, alone. Even though Darkrai does want company. Cressalia stays near Darkrai because not only are they immune to the effect of Darkrai's Ability; but being so close to Darkrai means Cressalia can offer Darkrai company. However, it also means that if someone is afflicted by Darkrai's Ability, Cressalia will be close enough for either Darkrai to go and get, or that any company the the victim brought can seek help from Cressalia. Cressalia stays to protect Darkrai from loneliness, from unwillingly hurting others, and from the humans that inevitably pursue Darkrai out of greed or malice.

See: Big belly, bearlike design, tendency to sleep a lot, Munchlax's body shape being nearly identical, right down to his triangular ears sticking straight up.

Also, the way you ride Snorlax in Let's Go is the same way the little girls ride on Totoro's belly in the movie

Cherubi is one of those -mon's that I'll likely never use, but I quite like the concept. The little face on the nutrient ball always had me blinking and feeling odd. Also, I looked up several of the things you mentioned, and I only had to type in a few letters. Hopefully, this means that this video is getting a lot of views. =)

16:22 I would assume the x's are supposed to be patches for which to patch holes in balloons or blimps.

I believe piplup's line also references the navy uniform. Piplup wears the japanese sailor unifors - with a special resemblance to the Tomoeda gakuen from Cad Captors Sakura - Prinplup resembles sheip captain uniforms and Empoleon wears /napoleon's uniform which is a naval one

I absolutely love how u referred to kricketune by its cry. 😂

I definitely did not expect to hear Mapuche myths here, there are many different myths here that i always thought were so cool that they could inspire some pokemon, Heatran being possibly inspired by one of those is still a little mystery

45:28 I always thought Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf also had “Lady of the Lake” inspiration, being lake guardians.

I always loved the German names for the Shinx line (Sheinux, Luxio and Luxtra) bc you could tell they were lynxes from them: Lux meaning light in Latin while also being pronounced like "Luchs" the German word for lynx. It's really clever.

“Did you know that Lumineon exist?” I actually forgot about that one, so that is news to me

I can't wait for new videos of Diamond and Pearl remakes and Legends Arceus once the latter game comes out!

Mamoswine is based on the first re-construction of the wooly mammoth, a concept very similar to the gen 8 fossil mons. Scientists originally thought it was more pig-like and if you look at the drawing it’s essentially Mamoswine to T.

Hour long Gnoggin videos are my favorite ❤️ I know a lot goes into making them that long, so I really appreciate when they happen.

00:42:38 During the diamond and pearl anime, Dusknoir also makes an appearance, where it is shown to want to take a spirit back. It is clearly shown to have a will of its own as well, apologizing to and even saving the people and pokemon in the episode

The interesting thing about Porygon Z's design is that it's basically Porygon 2 but all glitched out and rearranged, with a antenna and yellow eyes. It's also the only Pokémon line to have never appeared in the animé since the infamous Porygon episode.

I would like to mention that Empoleon’s average height and weight are the same as Napoleon’s.

shaymin the hedgehog with deer hooves when exposed to its favorite flower turns into a deer with hedgehog toes. I love the widdle baby

Just a small bit more info in Mismagius and Banshees: Banshees will either scream if someone is going to die, or they already have. And they are said to only cry for the Irish with O’ of Mac in their surname. O’ meaning ‘From’ or ‘descendant of’ and Mac meaning ‘son of’

I love these type of videos from Lockstin! Have you thought about doing the same type of video but for Digimon? Like the first season's lineup of the chosen ones' companions.

2:49 To add to this, in the Ramayana there is a very popular chapter where Hanuman burns the arrogant demon king Ravana's city with his burning tail, which is very subtly referenced in Monferno's fiery tail. The Chimchar line is my favourite Pokemon, I'm really excited to go back to my favourite region with my own 'Hanuman' 😍🐒

56:35 I spat out my tea. Did not see this one coming.

Ya forgot to mention that Palkia has fur, as seen in the Shining Pearl boxart render, so it's basically an Otter dragon

I’ve always loved that image of a beaver in the top right of 5:36. It just looks so pleased with itself. Strangely though, there is a small object in the bottom right that looks strangely like a cheerio?

20:03 Is it any surpise that a skutank was the boss of the original Team Skull from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky,? Who like the Team Skull in Gen 7 were mostly just a bunch of thugs who ultimately get a slight redemption in their final appearance?

I love listening to his videos while I work. It makes the time fly by.

56:40 I think Gracidea Flower comes from "gracia" (grace) rather than "gracias" (thank you). Sounds more like it to me.

I got to the end of the video and had not noticed it was one hour long, good job Lockstin, theses videos are some of the best Pokemon content on the internet.

I never realized that the red dot in the middle of Magnezone is an eye. I just thought they randomly put a clown nose on it.

I think he have done this before many times..... not quite sure if he covered all gen tho.

Skunks are also called "polecats", which may be where stunky/stunktank gets its catlike features!

If going the gun route for Rhyperior, it may also be orange cuz hunters will sometimes wear orange in busy hunting spots in hopes of avoiding being shot. It’s believed that deer can’t see the bright orange but people can.

if he ever does this for all of the gens, gen 1 is gonna be really short

26:28 while also adding to that, did you know that they can stuff food under themselves to eat for later?

I really love the music - it adds up to the explanations. Such a well-constructed video=)

Platinum was my first Pokemon Game and I gotta say, Turtwig is the best starter

I would gladly watch a version of this video for every generation of Pokémon.

24:26 It being a land shark is why I think its line has the sharpedo nose and sharpedo torpedo head things. It probably did evolve from a sharpedo.

omg amazing. im not playing the remakes but sinnoh has my heart

Love the video and can't wait for the Kaskade region rom hack. Would love to see a region based on Poland created in the future by the Pokémon Company.

10:27 one thing I like to mention about combee and Vespiquen is that a female combee has a dot on one of its heads (the bottom one) which could reference the fact that a hive can create a new queen bee by feeding a larval worker bee royal jelly, which turns them into a queen! That and in the world of bee keeping queens are often marked with a dot so beekeepers can easily spot them.

33:33 "Zone is also one of those words associated with your typical pop culture aliens" Me sweating profusely: Yes...thats exactly where I know the word Zone from.

It might be a stretch but Piplup might be a reference to the main character of Charles Dickens’ ’great expectations’ ”pip”. The novel is all about class conflict and in the progress of the book, Pip inherits wealth and becomes higher classed so that might be what is going on with Piplup becoming Empoleon
