Here's another thing (about the anime in this case) that I see almost everyone get wrong all the time. It's the reason why Brock was temporarily replaced by Tracy. Most people think it was because the anime's creators were afraid international viewers would see Brock as a racist stereotype because of his design. But according to the blog of the series director at the time, Takeshi Shudo, the truth is... pretty much the opposite. Around the time the franchise was preparing for its American debut, some of the higher-ups became concerned that a show with a character that looks like Brock (a design closer to how Americans tend to draw Asian characters) as a main character wouldn't do well in the U.S. It's a concern that sort of makes sense if you know anything about the state of Asian representation in American media at the time. However, their decision was... apparently to have viewers just absolutely hate a character that appears in every episode for a year and a half? Yeah, valid concerns or not, their solution was pretty ridiculous, and thankfully Americans loved Brock and didn't want to see him go, so he was eventually brought back and stuck around for over a decade. Regardless of your opinion on the situation, the unfortunate truth is that Tracy replaced Brock in an attempt to appeal to white people, not to prevent people getting offended from a racist stereotype (which Brock obviously isn't).

the best part about a new aura guardian video is always never knowing whether the video is gonna be entirely a joke or actually legit

Normal Pokéballs don't work on Ultra Beasts because they're heavily infused with the wormhole energy/Necrozma's light. Necrozma is drained of its energy when you meet it, having been in this world for a long time in SM. Nebby was similarly here for at least a few years and had been experimented on to drain and use up its energy. However both Pokémon originate from Ultra Space which is how Ultra Beasts are classified

So... Necrozma TECHNICALLY has an ultra beast code name, ub-black. This code name is, however, only said in the anime which might disqualify it from being an ultra beast HOWEVER, it is stated that Necrozma came from another world and brought Solgaleo and Lunala with it. This other word is ultra space, and by definition, an ultra beast is just a Pokémon from ultra space, thus meaning that the light trio ARE ultra beasts.

I tried looking for this Channel for an hour again after not watching videos for some time and now I no longer see TheAuraGuardian in my reccomended. That's sad given how great of a KZread channel this is. Keep up the good work bro!

>Goes on about Mimikyu not being a Pikaclone >Proceeds to lump Pichu in with them Not to say you're wrong about Mimikyu, but Christ almighty how many times does this discussion have to be had about Pichu _If it's literally an evolutionary member to the family of _*_Pikachu itself,_*_ it's not a clone_ If we're gonna be calling Pichu a clone, Raichu has to be called one too

I still think that the Cosmog Family and Necrozma are Ultra Beasts. Yes, the Beast Balls don't work on them but the reason it doesn't is a pretty simple one. Because these Pokémon have gotten used to this world, they've slowly lost parts that made them Ultra Beasts but not all of it. The Beast Balls work because it's foreign DNA entering this world. But if they've this world's DNA as well, then it's not gonna work as well. Also, all of them came from Ultra Space at one point anyways. So lore wise and everything else wise, I agree with everything except this one.

1:21 i don't count pichu as a pikachu clone either, it's literally pikachu just as a baby.

In regards to Aegislash, the pronunciation that sounds better probably depends on your expectations. I had already know for years that the “ae” in “aegis” is supposed to be pronounced like an E, so that way sounds more natural to me. If I hadn’t known that, I might have pronounced it as A, and that would have sounded better. And for what it’s worth, it’s the same deal with Aether. It’s supposed to be an E sound, since the beginning vowel comes from the same source as Aegis.

Not always. For example, in aesthetic, which does have an e sound but slightly different. (no I definitely did not have to check merriam webster) In fact, according to Merriam Webster, "aegis" can be pronounced both as a long "a" or "e", though other sources say otherwise

The Mimikyu that belongs to Jessie HATES Pikachu and actively attacks any Pikachu it sees. Of course Acerola’s Mimikyu gets along with Pikachu, so this is only the case with Jessie’s Mimikyu specifically.

I'd say according to lore, the Cosmog line and Necrozma are UBs Necrozma literally has a whole ass utopia centered around it in the Ultra Space and (ik im kinda stretching things here but) the entire Cosmog line, as well as Necrozma, have the special cry sound effect, that all the other UBs have

I think the beast ball not working is game mechanic... They are Pokemon from other dimensions... as such, they are Ultra Beasts by canon... maybe not by mechanic...

The thing with the alola legends is that they definetly aren't native to our dimension but they stayed there long enough for them to lose that ultra characteristic and as for necrozma they get a pass because they scare me and I lost i nuzlocke to them when i forgot to get a focus sash and was too lazy to go fetch one

Maybe is Mimikyu his real appereance is the ghost of a Pikachu that died. He wants to look like Pikachu again.

I still think Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma are Ultra Beasts because (I think) we saw one of the box legendaries come out of a wormhole, you can literally ride them into Ultra Space, Necrozma came out of a wormhole to fuse with Solgaleo/Lunala (I think) , and at the end of their cries they have that little noise the other Ultra Beasts have at the end of their cries. The Beast Ball thing doesn't disprove them as UB's imo because I don't think you can get Beast Balls before the fight against them, meaning that it doesn't matter if the catch rate doesn't increase for them, but that's just me.

@vladprus4019

Also, on top of that: No, it is not a regular thing in games that people are getting "regional starter" on specific birthday and are all going around fighting gyms. Getting starters in games is generally not framed that way, each situtation is different like Oak gives Red a Pokemon in order to give him protection and use him as a help to complete Pokedex. Other time MC get's Pokemon in other situtaion, sometimes as temporary emergency (that becames pernament quickly after), sometimes as a gift etc. Aslo, starters are never in-game framed as being bred to be specifically gifted to begginer trainers as the first Pokemon. Yeah, they're designed that way out-on-universe, but in-universe "starters" are not established concept. They are always framed that Pokemon that just happen professor (or someone else giving them) just happen to give to you, specifically. Especially since we are meeting various trainers with varied age and wide range of Pokemon. We are even seeing characters like Wally that is CATCHING his first Pokemon in the wild (that is completly different than any of the "starters") Also, there is nothing about people going on a gym journey at the specific age, it's just something protagonists happen to do on their own, not an established custom. Those things are pretty much coming from the anime, as they are established as regular occurence in the first anime episode.

Necrozma is said to be an ancient ultra beast that was on earth for so long it isn’t an ultra-beast anymore

If people still think that's weird, they should see some of the digivolutions in Digimon, as there are quite a number of them that make that look borderline normal by comparison

just based on lore the Cosmog evolution line ARE Ultra Beasts. they are originally not from this world and came to us through Ultra Wormholes, which they can also open and travel through. I think it rather was a gameplay mechanic decision to not make them catchable with Beast Balls. first and foremost, it never was set that a Legendary HAS to be caught be with a certain type of ball before and it never has been since. sure, the Master Ball is supposed to be used for this kind of situation, but even that is optional. the other reason, and that also seems obvious, is that there is only a certain number of Beast Balls you can get in the game. if you're off to catch a Legendary, you know it can take you up to 100 Balls or even more to get that son of gun. if my calculations are correct, then you're able to get 50 Beast Balls over the entirety of Sun/Moon - and all of them AFTER the main story, when the Legendaries have already been caught. so in order to make Solgaleo/Lunala catchable with Beast Balls, they would've had to think of an entirely different system of when and how to get these, so it was probably easier to say: "they're the box Legendaries; let's just treat them as the box Legendaries and catch them with whatever ball you've got in your bag."

I love how after discussing how to pronounce Zacian's name but then later pronounces it differently.

I think the whole past and future thing is going to be some sort of phenomenon happening in the region, and koraidon and miraidon are the past and future version of cyclizar. This is probably why the legendary has an attachment to you, because its the cyclizar from your household.

I can understand mispronouncing Zacian, to a degree. I can understand both Z-ar-cian and Za-cian, I just imagine them as the UK and the American pronunciation (since the “ar” sound is often replaced with “ah”, such as with “can’t”). Zay-cian is technically wrong, if you follow official sources, but there aren’t any problems as long as people understand what you’re referring to.
