Fun fact about Gen 1 sprites- the sprites in Red/Green came BEFORE the official art! Ken Sugumori drew the designs based upon the sprites, not the other way around. The sprites were made by multiple artists! After they decided to remake the games to optimize them better prior to a worldwide release, the team remade the front sprites to better match Sugimori’s artwork.

I’ll never understand Zweilous and Hydreigon evolving so late, even by Unova’s high evolution level standards. Deino evolves at level 50, which means you can have a fully evolved Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, Goodra, and Kommo-o before or at the same level you can evolve Deino into Zweilous, and the rest either fully evolve 4 or 5 levels after that (Dragonite, Tyranitar, and Baxcalibur). Only Dragapult comes close, evolving into Drakloak at 50 and Dragapult at 60, but is more justified since you can actually evolve it into Dragapult before fighting Leon who’s in the mid 60s

IIRC "Godzillant" was also the name of a very silly Alpha/Pitch Pokemon for Gen 1. Perhaps the idea was kicking around for longer than we thought...

Bet the reason why Dragonite has a lower speed than Garchomp because in Gen 1, Speed determined how high the Pokemon's Move will crit. Basically old design forever haunts the nite.

I wanna see more undead prehistoric Pokémon, like imagine an undead mosasaurus Pokémon or undead Pokémon version of Cambrian animals

Jangmo-o was all over the Sun & Moon demo, so I guess it got spotlight in there. I probably would've made it a rare encounter in Ten Carat Hill for consistency in the full game though.

I officially like baxcalibur more now

3:22 I can definitely say I never actually noticed that either 😂

Remember, guys, GF had the chance to give us Tank Hydreigon as its Paradox form, but they did not do that. They also did not make Goodra the 1st Poison type Pseudo-Legendary dragon of the games that gave us the Fairy type.

Shiny Beldum unlocks dialog with Mr. Stone, Roxanne, and a Fossil Maniac on Route 114 too. I literally refused to play ORAS again until I could track another one down. No, I had no idea about Pupitar either 😅

I think salamence is not tiny, it's just flat. The pokedex probably measured its height from the highest point of its cranium to ground level instead of from the tip of its snout to its tail tip. Dragapult's height data is probably its length

Additional facts: Dragonite: In Gen I, this was the only fully evolved Dragon-type, and is the only Pokemon in the original 151 to have a 4x weakness to Ice. Tyranitar: This is the only pseudo-legendary to have its secondary type change between evolutions, as Larvitar and Pupitar are both Rock/Ground, but Tyranitar is Rock/Dark. Salamence: Funnily enough, Salamence's dex entries state that it only grew wings because it really wanted them. Metagross: In Gen III, Metagross actually had a signature move, Meteor Mash and a signature ability, Clear Body. (Yes, Clefairy did get it too, but its not in Hoenn's regional dex) This makes it the first pseudo-legendary to have a signature move and ability. Garchomp: Mega Garchomp holds the record for the highest base Attack stat, at 170. Hydreigon: Hydreigon is actually the only pseudo legendary with two immunities: Dragon/Dark is immune to Psychic, and it has Levitate, giving it Ground immunity. Goodra: Currently, Goodra is the only pseudo legendary with a regional variant, and is the only pseudo legendary to have a weather-based ability in Hydration. Kommo-o: Kommo-o actually has three different move immunities: Soundproof, Bulletproof, and Overcoat. Dragapult: Dragapult is the first pseudo legendary since Metagross to have a signature move: Dragon Darts. Baxcalibur: Baxcalibur is not only the first pseudo legendary since Metagross to have both a signature move: Glaive Rush, and a signature ability: Thermal Exchange, but it is also the strongest non-legendary Ice-type. It is also the only Dragon-type pseudo legendary to not be weak to Ice.

Up yours man! I will fly on a salamence one day :(

The Tyranitar line having references to bugs is based on Kaiju stuff. Many Kaiju in movies from Godzilla to Gamera had transformations like this.

Baxcalibur's signature move Glaive rush. its animation is reminiscent of the old GODZILLA movie where GODZILLA slid on his tail and drop-kicked his opponent.

4:10 why u gotta shatter my dreams like dat 🥺

My head-canon for Hydreigon is that it’s evolution level being 64 is a reference to the Nintendo 64 being Nintendo’s third dedicated home console. And of course, Hydreigon has three heads.

I noticed the Pupitar stuff back in Gen 3 (when I began playing thr games) 😅. That said, I would love if a past Paradox Tyranitar were part bug.

How they decide the sizes are weird, like dragapult is only that big if the are measuring from the end of the tail to the head, which is really his length and not height, it just happens to float so I want to know the length of the others like dragonite and salamance

Funny story about the severely under leveled Salamence, I caught a shiny, full odds Bagon just before getting the Salamence! That was back in 2018, and I’m still very proud of my curious nature rewarding me twice 😊

Did you know that Toho also created a monster based off of Yamata no Orochi in fact they created it before pokemon existed, The name being king Ghidora the three headed monster. his first appearance was in Ghidora The Three Headed Monster in the year 1964 and we all know that Hydreigon evolves at level 64 just like how Baxcalibur evolves at level 54 so they are both easter eggs to both of Toho's most iconic monsters.

Husain Goodra is actually more viable then Kalosian Goodra due to it’s typing also you can get Gible pretty early on in Scarlet and Violet somewhere near the town with the bug type gym as I did just that because I wanted to use it again especially since it was introduced in the Sinnoh games which were my first Pokémon games and it’s a favorite of mine as well. Not to mention no notable character including Hassel uses Garchomp on their team at any point in those games. So in both games Garchomp was one of my main team members.

I've never thought of speed as movement speed, but as attack speed. EG a sprinter can move faster than a boxer, but can't punch faster

5:56 That only calculates to Dragonite flying at Mach 2 if the Pokémon world is the same size as Earth.

Dragonite is also the only Psudo legendary that can learn extreme Speed as in the original gen 2 games a special dratini in the dragons den was obtainable that had extreme speed in its moveset, then with modern Pokemon games it now learns extreme speed via lvl up/ move relearner. Thus it can be explained that Dragonite is technically naturally slower than Garchomp, however it has the power to significantly increase its speed whenbit wants to or needs to and thus being able to fly at insanely fast speeds that seem unbelievable for a heavy set dragon

Dragonite learns extreme speed making him technically faster than garchomp

Dont worry I also didnt notice that about Tyranitar till now

yeah 'pseudo-legendary' is also not an official term either, just widely accepted by the fanbase haha. Personally I always attributed the term to mons like Snorlax and Volcarona, who have overworld sprite-based interaction encounters-- ...yknow, like. Legendary Pokemon. Frankly I'm not sure who came up with 'pseudo-legend' or why it stuck, but it is what it is, eh. and yeah no sorry bro I always realized that Tyranitar's belly was pupitar's shell, even as a kid ;x

My guess for Dragonite vs Garchomp is an Imperialdramon effect. Imperialdramon's transport form is faster when traveling but fighter form is more agile for battle. I imagine Dragonite can travel faster but Garchomp's sleek form makes them more agile in battle.

I never noticed that about Tyranitar’s stomach.

im still waiting the day gamefreak will do a remake some pokemons types . and among them will be tyranitar . he deserve a Dragon/Steel Type starting from ground to rock/ground and then dragon/steel type . would be badass

5:52 I dont really think the "Speed" stat is really about speed and is just a unfortunate translation. For example in the German Games the stat is called "initiative". It describes more the reaction than the real speed. So it tells you how fast a Pokemon reacts to something, not a measurent for speed. I think that makes more sense. So Pokemon can be faster but slower to react to stuff.
