Suicune is a flipping horse
anyone else kinda dissapointed in the frag mew version lol
So "Fragment PKMN" are just PKMN that have been painted in one color to look like living shadows?
If making a cool design requires very minimum effort just like that, then you can't argue with that logic.
YO!!! I got that shiny rayquaza i didn't know it was an event pokemon. I got it from a trade years ago. I was convinced it may have even been hacked because it had good stats but turns out its just a event pokemon. This is awsome!!
the legendary trio bugs sure sound cool but disgusting af
I think the most important thing about the three legendary dogs (as I still think they are dogs) is the myth that they were three Pokémon that died in a fire and were reborn. The working theory is they were the eevee evolutions, and eevee is a puppy. What their visuals are is more secondary to me assuming it’s still within the realm of possibility they are dogs via their visuals.
All this information made me have a brain orgasm
21:06 took me years of trading and shiny hunting but I did manage to get myself a Nobunaga Rayquaza. It's currently in my Pokémon Home. I kick myself for not getting Conquest years ago 😰
the original blue drum raikou just sounds like what they ended up going for with thundurus's design
Did you know…? that Mew fact is actually revealed on one specific card from the TCG. on the Ancient Mew's pokedex entry, (once you transalate the runes) it says Mew is "Little, Cook and Evil.". All these years I always thought it was kinda creepy, but now you guys confirmed it is true!. Ty for this awesome channel and your AMAZING work.
Damn, what a great video 😭
There's two kinds of Pokémon fans:
– Those with eyes who can tell the Gen 2 trio are cats
– Stupid people
Seriously, this is REALLY obvious. I don't know where the "dog" thing even comes from because they look NOTHING like any kind of dog???
Something I've never understood what exactly separates Lugia and Kyogre since in the movie 2000 Lugia is basically described as doing/being everything that Kyogre already is. I know in lore they have different roles but they are definitely stepping on each other's metaphorical toes just by existing
Ho oh & lugia are dayman & nightman
Part 2 please
Great title
27:16 and just like that dykg just shot up the price 😢
20:32 legendary Caterpie
I learned from this that America must be kicking itself that it gave the poop covered billion dollar island back.
Cats don't BARK & HOWEL.
I remember how all the kids in my school kept calling them the legendary dogs. lol.
Someone out there has a mega Rayquaza given to them by Oda Nobunaga right now any you know they used it for evil against their friends
You guys never disapoint
There is a difference between Legendaray and Mythical Pokémon
Yo
“All 3 fit together to make Arceus.”
Literally spit out my drink. GIRATINA’S FACE WAS PART OF IT?!
Did you really have to put the beetles in such an order that the bird names go 1, 3, 2??? Gah!!!
Been having a rough ass time lately, I appreciate this
Legendary Pokémon don't have gender, stop calling them He
I could see the early designs of celebi being based on kokopelli to bring lore or something behind pokemon breeding.
excellently researched as always. the only channel with new pokemon trivia in 2023
Celebi went back in time to put itself into the games with that shrine. Thats my theory.
The era of Gen 2 continues to be endlessly fascinating. The designs, development, and lore
The Deoxys forms actually spell “SAND”.
I understand the whole thought process of the creation trio origin formes creating an arceus lookalike, but man did they have to butcher palkia that bad? I can almost get behind dialga looking super messed up in certain aspects, but giving palkia an earth-horse body with hooves and a centuar torso with the signature shoulders and no arms seems like they didn't even try to give it's original design homage. I wonder if there were any bipedal designs that got scrapped or if this was the design intent from the beginning. Anyway its been a year and i still haven't gotten over it. RIP palkia you deserved better
The Legendary Beast trio were originally dogs/canines, but they got revived as big feline creatures instead.
Viridi and Mew should buddy up sometimes
I think in the legendary beast cat versus dog debate, they're a fusion of various mammals. After all, we call the legendary birds, birds, because they're not based on specific birds, but have traits of several, real or mystical. Beasts is just as generic a term for mammals.
Given how Johto is a lot more traditional compared to Kanto, the shrine could just be there to help show that. It’s just a Shinto shrine in a forest because of course there would be one.
GameFreak and The Pokémon Company just seem to have this habit of not only looking gift horses in the mouth, but spitting in it. “Yeah, we’ll approve and license this, but we’ll never acknowledge it again no matter how many fans want to see it back.”
Pokémon looks to be reaching its Icarus point to me. Soon the wax will melt and it will plummet to its doom. Why? The lack of spin-offs, quality remakes and obvious time constraints affecting the main series games. It’s getting too big to be handled in a satisfactory way and that always ends up biting companies and their consumers in the butt.
Where did the whole "legendary dogs" thing even come from? I know I called them "dogs" growing up, but I don't remember where I heard it from, and the johto beasts have always clearly looked like cats… Was it in the anime or something? Surely they were never officially referred to as "dogs"…but why do we all remember calling them that??
is the black rayquaza a reference to yasuke the black samurai?
