So many ghost-type Pokémon have something about draining the live-force out of others in their dex-entries, but there is still no HP-draining move with the ghost-typing.
I think it's because HP is physical health while "draining life force" is more spiritual and "special" in nature. It's draining the spirit or the soul of someone. Think like Shadow Ball, etc And since you can't really absorb special defense, it just takes it away from others
It's real matcha. Tea comes in different grades and he's probably using a low quality supermarket blend that was purposed for mixing into other things.
@@transyuri4534 I'm not a big matcha person given the price but if you wanted to try decent quality matcha, you should consider looking up tea vendors/shops that sell in your country. Matcha and other Japanese green teas do not keep their vibrancy as long as most teas so they are "good" for about a year so I would time your purchase around the spring and summer months so you get the most recent year's harvest with a good amount of time to drink through it. You will still be able to drink it after a year but, if you're going to pay a lot for the tea, you want it to be potent for as long as possible. Personally, I wouldn't even try to get "authentic" matcha unless you've grown to like the grocery store brands an you want to step your game up since good matcha will burn a hole in your wallet. If you're mixing your matcha into other things then don't bother hunting down ceremonial grade from a reputable seller would be a waste of your money.
yeee, its "real" matcha, made from the same leaves, but MUCH lower grade, the stuff used for flavoring milkshakes and cookies, rather than making actual "real" matcha tea.
@@Gnoggin here's the thing man, I've been passionate about tea for about 7 years and each time I find a new tea, I think it's top shelf, end of the line stuff. Then I try the same tea from a different vendor and I think THAT tea is the best tea I've ever had. The more you learn about and drink tea, the more you learn you know nothing about it since there is over 1000s of years worth of tea to discover ♥️
Fun fact about the "it's not real champagne" joke, I follow an artist who had one of their Redbubble products removed from the site for copyright reasons because it featured a Cookie Run OC. Not by the Cookie Run devs, no no, but by someone in charge of deciding who gets to use the word champagne. Because the OC was called Rosé Champagne Cookie. They weren't selling any actual alcohol, it was just a damn sticker, but nerts to that I guess cuz these rotten grape sellers gotta protect that precious, precious GENERIC WORD 9_9
Something funny is there was a competition between French wine and California wine and the judge picked the California wine as the winner claiming it had to be the French wine
Unless you're in the United States which didn't sign the agreement that you couldn't call your sparkling wine 'champagne' if it wasn't from Champagne... which is how you get California champagne and the French can't do a damn thing about it 😂

Not to mention I thiiiiiink Redbubble is a US-based company (don't quote me on that, but I _do_ know the artist I was referring to is a US-based artist), if that agreement holds any real water then it shouldn't've gotten their sticker removed in the first place. Anyway, the spirit of that "agreement" shouldn't affect me cuz I'm not drinking it (I've been able to legally drink for ten years but it just doesn't sound appealing to me) on top of being in the US myself, but given I have an original universe where a lot of the characters are named after colors and I just reconfirmed for myself that champagne is indeed a color, I see OC naming opportunities in my future and the wine snobs can kiss my ass about it XD
1:48 To connect with the iberian peninsulin inspirations of the main game, "Poltchagheist" could ALSO reference "Chá", which is the portuguese word for tea.
Guys, don’t be silly. Every word, for the tea, in the world, even « tea », is connected to one word, « tê » in Min Nan. It’s « thé » in French, « tè » in Italian, « shay » in Arabic, « herbata » in Polish (here, it’s connected to the « ta »), « cha » in Mandarin or Japanese, etc. Each time, there is the sound t, tsh or sh. It’s not a reference to the Portuguese language.
@@jadseif8102 Why are you so mad? Also, "cha" is in the pokemon's name, and Paldea has inspirations on the iberian peninsula... I just wanted to share information and complement with something that i thought was relevant, there's no need to be this way :/
Ghost is probably my favorite type and maybe a minority take but I love objectmon. It just kind of makes sense for what a ghost Pokemon should be. I particularly love Banette, Aegislash, Chandelure, Palossand, Trevanent, and I even polteageist. I wasn't sure what to think of polchageist because I wasn't sure what it was supposed to be but I appreciate the explanation.
I like object-mon too, but with one caveat: there needs to be a lot of thought, and they need to look cool. Like, I like Banette and the Slash line, because they have a lot of thought and references, meanwhile Clefkey… eh. It doesn’t feel like there’s more thought to that one, and I think that’s my biggest quibble around object-mon. There needs to be a lot of detail and thought, IMO, which Polchageist does! It has the details of ceremonies and ritual in its origin story, it has lots of ghostly behaviors that fit its paranormal inspirations, it feels well rounded and has a lot of thought.
Yeah, another thing about the tea ceremony is that there are two kinds of matcha made in it...a thick matcha and a thinner matcha. Also fun anime/manga character fact: Mitarashi Anko from Naruto enjoys performing tea ceremonies...yeah...it's kinda weird when you see how she acts during the Chunin exam arc and just how the characters have been flipped a bit by fandom but Kurenai likes vodka and Anko likes performing tea ceremonies...in the fandom Kurenai is usually the more reserved one and is dragged into drinking with Anko who is almost never mentioned performing tea ceremonies.
Living, or living thing in Hebrew can be spell “chai” (close to “chaei”) in English, but it is pronounced very differently 😅. It’s pronounced with a sound not in English, so I don’t know how to explain it in a comment, but trust me, it’s very different.
Just wanted to say, Polchageist is specifically a chaire (pronounced chai ray (kinda)), and he seems to be specifically in the kuro oribe style, the glaze style and pattern being very intentional
Sinistcha, is the actual evolution, so its very interesting to see that a convergent evolution actually reverses the order of evolution. Going to be a good addition to my Shiny Antiquity Polteageist, but I don't look forward to hunting another shiny version of the high quality version.
Honestly I dont think it's really a convergent. It has way too much in common with sinistea in order to just be a convergent. I'm starting to think that gf made this just to mess with us.
@@עומרשרייבר-ל4ר I mean, seems pretty convergent to me. Different spirits possessing similar but different tea implements. Sinistea and Polteageist are a cup and pot of hot tea, whereas Poltchageist is a container of matcha powder rather than an actual cup of tea
It fits completely with the Tsukumogami and the Kinsugi ideas, since it was said that "those objects that stayed a long time in a household sometimes went missing because they were fighting a bad demon or protecting their family from an evil omen or something, and they returned broken or shattered." That's why mostly they repaired those objects through Kinsugi, to honour them.
Can people in the comments please shut up about the leaks? Most people dont wanna know about them and this video was made before the leaks came out anyways, plus, Lockstin doesnt ussually cover leaks
The glowing green powder that sucks a person's life away also makes me think of radium used in dishes in the early-mid 20th century. Like with the Radium Girls, who painted it on watches and were encouraged to use their lips to keep the tip of their paintbrushes thin, so they were ingesting the stuff and slowly getting sick.
Fun fact: almost all of Asia calls tea ''chai'' and it bled into Europe as well, in Romania (unlike other latin countries) we call it ''ceai'' and we got the terminology from the ottomans
If you think about it, we encountered these tea mon out of order. Tea reached Britain *from* Japan, and it seems the tendency of ghosts to be drawn to the tea followed suit. Hence why they're two different lineages, not subspecies.
6:13 I've heard of this in Avataro Sentai Donbrothers. The blue ranger Saru Brother, civilian name Shinichi Saruhara, is a practitioner and in the final episode for a brief while teacher of it. He's an eccentric who eats imaginary ramen when he cant use a haiku as payment (his catchphrase is "And now a Haiku") and doesn't carry any money (he considers it evil and claims it burns him) but owns a an old-fashioned Japanese mansion where he's the sole resident. Also he has a keen sense of mind and solves mysteries around his neighborhood (he also uses mystery solving as a form of payment), earning him the title of "professor" and his sheer level of control over his own mind can overcome hunger.
Hi, I'm once again explaining Pokémon names in German. Today, I'm talking about Poltchageist. In German, it is names "Mortcha", which combines "mors", the latin word for "dead", with matcha and "Mortipot", the German Name für Polteageist. And that's it. Because I only talk about one Pokémon, this comment is pretty short, but I hope you enjoyed reading it.
Youre actually the first person who ive seen point out that it killing people would be why it gets broken and has to repair its self over and over, im sure this was just thought of as an sight gag but i think youre completely right, obviously not everyone has loved ones around but if you did theyd surely act, probably
What people aren't understanding is that Sinistea//Polteageist are haunted TEA living in a broken tea set. Poltchageist//Sinistcha are haunted tea pots/matcha POTTERY than fix broken stuff. The difference isn't "They're different tea! They should be Regional Variants!!!" The difference is that Sinistea should be Ghost/Water or Ghost/Poison 😂
I've never tried match tea before, to be honest. I've been wanting to, but I'm not sure if I can make it correctly. ^^; Also what a mess. I can't even imagine how long it took it get all that powder out.
I've had Matcha flavored Pocky before...got kinda addicted to it lol. Personally when it comes to tea (that isn't southern sweet tea) I'm partial to Oolong tea...I've tried the canned Matcha tea and it's...not quite right in my opinion but that could be due to my love of sweet tea and so unsweetened tea just tasted wrong to me when I was younger. I"m older now so I'll have to give it another go with Matcha.
Make sure it's good quality, the cheap stuff can be rather bitter. I, personally, like it with a bit of bite, but a good one should be mellow and comforting.
I guess this is a SPOILER at the moment so I'll hide it. Poltchageist does evolve. It turns into Sinistcha. It's swapped. The evolution looks like Sinistea while the first one looks more like Polteageist. It's bigger than Poltchageist and they also have that forgery/authentic dynamic. It was something/masterpiece on Twitter.
Teal mask DLC Spoiler origin facts: For the New poison trio they are based on the Story momotaro about the boy who's born from a peach and their colors are swapped with the one on the otherside of the colorwheel Red=green Yellow=purple Blue=Orange Infact they are completely swapped the color just being a hint towards it thus they are the evil ones in this Story instead of the Oni
Hey L&G, long time watcher and enjoyer! I was wondering if you could cover the Pawniard line, like origin and what they’re based on? Idk if you take request like this but either way keep up the good work!
Welp, technically yeah, the hebrew word for alive (חי) IS spelled in english as chai but the ch is actually a very pronounced version of h that is way more common in hebrew then in english (not sure if the letter ח's sound has a one to one equivellant in english)
I just watched this video, but I think it's important to mention that the 3 dots ( 6:48 ) are a map marking used in japan to represent tea plantations. Just like we will use a cross for a hospital or some trees for a park here in the west
Hey I'm a big fan of your videos, especially your pokemon neo videos. I love, Zzimp, he is such a cut little guy, but I don't want him evolving into a very intimidating succubus. Ild just love a celibate evo that is just a chill guy or gal
I reckon that Poltchageist is the evolved form, just like how we first saw Polteageist in trailers, while they're saving the Convergent pre-evo for the DLC launch like they did with Sinistea for the Gen 8 release.
I do wonder if it does have an evolution if it'll be more focused on the kintsugi angle and reform its still broken self into a more positive Pokémon. Like it has already been repaired a bit but still has holes in it.
One fan theory I saw the other day was that the swirly bit and green cloudiness of the matcha are reminiscent of Spiritomb, so what if Poltchageist evolved into a Matcha Pokémon inspired by Spiritomb. Imagine, the caddy shattering and the mournful tea spirit bursting forth! It even works with the lore too, as the 108 spirits could now become the souls/energy of the people drained, or even more subtly referenced as 108 tea ceremonies? Alternatively, Cofagrigus could be an option, being the tea set cabinet, instead of just the caddy. Similar to how Polteageist’s name becomes Poltchageist, Spiritomb could become Spiritomatcha or Spiritchai. Or, if you like the Cofagrigus idea, Chaigrigis or Matchagrigus What do you think?
SPOILER ALERT: IT DOES EVOLVE. Also, good work, neighbor. You are the lore deep diver, I'm just the low budget fact man. BUT I WILL BEAT YOU AT THIS. Mark my words.
1:52 The Hebrew word "חי" is pronounced like "high" but with a roll in the first sound that doesn't exist in English, which is why it is sometimes transliterated as "chai", but it isn't pronounced like the word for tea. Living thing is "חיה" (haya), while "חי" just means "life". I think it's a stretch here, because ghosts are very importantly not alive and "living thing" here means more like animal as opposed to an object that is alive.
From the trailer that introduced this Pokémon with the Rakugo teller inform us that it is also based on Tsukumogami which are objects that become youkai
An important thing you only briefly touched on is why it's convergent. Poltergeist and Sinistea are a ghost that already existed possessing a cup of black tea and then pouring it into a tea pot. Poltchageist is the matcha caddy itself gaining life, no spirit required just the regrets of the old man. It's still a bit spiritual in nature as a yokai based Pokémon which is why unlike Wiglett and Toedscool it shares a type with the Pokémon it's based on, but it's not actually a ghost. That's why it's convergent.
I thought it drained the life of people because it’s a ghost type and they usually subsist off of the life force of their victims. Also I didn’t know there was a differentiation between real macha and the more commercials available kind.
fun fact: Poltchageist's Japanese name is Chadesu (チャデス). ちゃです is pronounced the exact same way and is a sentence that translates to "it is tea." Poltchageist's Japanese name translates to "it is tea" 😂
There’s too many ghost/grass pokemon. But at least Polchigeist and Sinescha are more fun than Bramblin and Brambleghast. That one, Squackabilli and maybe Rellor and Rabasca are gonna be the most “Oh yeah, that was a Pokemon” Pokémon.
(LEAK SPOILER WARNING) I love how you predicted the bamboo whisk in its evo which was leaked yesterday. You are 100% correct. I had no idea what that part of it was when I saw it, thought it was a weird straw. 😅
This things lore and design origin is both impressive and also the reason why I hate this Pokémon. This Pokémon is a jerk. Like Buneary having the lowest base happiness is because of this thing being such a jerk. I don't trust this Pokémon as far as I can throw a Gigaton Ball in a Backstrike at it. It's yet another Ghost and Grass Type which was already getting outta hand with Gen 7 but excusable until we kept getting more of them every generation it is ridiculous. And to top it all off, it's a possessed thing that makes something I don't drink because this is the one time where I am vehitamitly stereotypical American and stubbornly refuse to change because I drink Coffee AND this thing has the soul of a rude, stuck up, elitist, overly traditionalist old world era idealogue who was so unbearable that he died alone steeped in his own grudges and shame. Yeah, you can basically tell what kinda things I think about more of the conservative or traditional ways because all my life I've only known that as a tool used for oppression or negativity and stigmatization against me simply because I was born into a later point in history and am eager to move on from old outdated societal norms. Like I knew I had a seriously personal relationship with Hisuian Zoroark in how I've lived and relate to it all too painfully accurate with how it feels to be hunted and feared because I'm different but hot damg man alive I had no idea that extended this much to a Pokémon who's whole personality and characteristics could be more difficult absolute opposites in many ways. I know I'm going way too deep with a freakin Pokémon and relating it to real life drama and stuff but yeesh, I finally have a Pokémon who I can just dispise purely due to personal biases and reasons like how some people hate Garboder or Vanilluxe or Klinklang so now I know how that feels and as someone who grew up with Gen 5 let me just say this feels terrible. Now I too have something that is the Lickilicky to your Ambipom in terms of how much you hate any Pokémon. But at least those two are at least vaguely considered "so ugly it's cute" as aposed to mine being Boomer Tea thats still a jerk to people despite dying of loneliness and regret and that freakin CRABOMINATION. NO! NOT THE ICE TYPE! The o t h e r one. The one that spunds like a zombie violently breaking itself apart and groaning while twisted it's limbs 180-360 degrees as it's eyes roll completely detached from it's sockets and freakin climbs up cave wals and ceilings like a frwakin Terminator Star wars crab droid before launching itself at you likeva freakin facr hugger night walker xenomorph. I really hate that stupid crab. But dang this stuffy old tea/leaf juice thing just really takes the cake for a close second place. Now if you'll excuse me, my partner and I have some old ceramic tea kettles and china ware to SHATTER AND DESACRATE out of sheer petty grudge fueled Bitter Malice. While I sip my Coffee. 😅🦊
I guess that tea was cheap Yet I would not spread powder finer than dust in the middle of a room with plushies and electronics, bought use for personal fun and job
Why the blatant mispronounciation of חי? The vowel is the "I" in "nice", but the "ח" is pronounced like the "ch" in "blech" (or in the German word "ich").

Like with the Radium Girls, who painted it on watches and were encouraged to use their lips to keep the tip of their paintbrushes thin, so they were ingesting the stuff and slowly getting sick.
1:34 would you like some coffee coffee with room for cream cream?
Edit: Also, Poltchageist does have a pre-evolution/evolution (not sure for now)
5:33 bro if I lived in Japan I would be made of gold at this point
Fun fact: almost all of Asia calls tea ''chai'' and it bled into Europe as well, in Romania (unlike other latin countries) we call it ''ceai'' and we got the terminology from the ottomans
Haven't seen a Poketuber shower scene since Mike of MandJTV in his Dr. Squatch ad bits.
If you think about it, we encountered these tea mon out of order. Tea reached Britain *from* Japan, and it seems the tendency of ghosts to be drawn to the tea followed suit. Hence why they're two different lineages, not subspecies.
6:13 I've heard of this in Avataro Sentai Donbrothers. The blue ranger Saru Brother, civilian name Shinichi Saruhara, is a practitioner and in the final episode for a brief while teacher of it. He's an eccentric who eats imaginary ramen when he cant use a haiku as payment (his catchphrase is "And now a Haiku") and doesn't carry any money (he considers it evil and claims it burns him) but owns a an old-fashioned Japanese mansion where he's the sole resident. Also he has a keen sense of mind and solves mysteries around his neighborhood (he also uses mystery solving as a form of payment), earning him the title of "professor" and his sheer level of control over his own mind can overcome hunger.
1:42 Spider-Man already made that joke lockstin lol
Wabi-sabi is literally just "beauty in imperfections" and that's so beautiful in and of itself
I don't get why people hate objectmon, they're always so cool 😞
I hope its evolution is called Sinistcha.
It is

Maybe the evolution will have the tea ladle (and maybe it could learn wood hammer like how a mother uses a spoon)

Hi, I'm once again explaining Pokémon names in German. Today, I'm talking about Poltchageist. In German, it is names "Mortcha", which combines "mors", the latin word for "dead", with matcha and "Mortipot", the German Name für Polteageist.
And that's it. Because I only talk about one Pokémon, this comment is pretty short, but I hope you enjoyed reading it.
Youre actually the first person who ive seen point out that it killing people would be why it gets broken and has to repair its self over and over, im sure this was just thought of as an sight gag but i think youre completely right, obviously not everyone has loved ones around but if you did theyd surely act, probably
What people aren't understanding is that Sinistea//Polteageist are haunted TEA living in a broken tea set.
Poltchageist//Sinistcha are haunted tea pots/matcha POTTERY than fix broken stuff.
The difference isn't "They're different tea! They should be Regional Variants!!!"
The difference is that Sinistea should be Ghost/Water or Ghost/Poison 😂
Raise your hand if you knew "chai" meant tea...
Now, if you learned that from Spiderverse, PUT YOUR HAND DOWN!
I've never tried match tea before, to be honest. I've been wanting to, but I'm not sure if I can make it correctly. ^^; Also what a mess. I can't even imagine how long it took it get all that powder out.
Don't put matches in tea
I've had Japanese Matcha flavored kit kats before. They're alright
I've had Matcha flavored Pocky before...got kinda addicted to it lol. Personally when it comes to tea (that isn't southern sweet tea) I'm partial to Oolong tea...I've tried the canned Matcha tea and it's...not quite right in my opinion but that could be due to my love of sweet tea and so unsweetened tea just tasted wrong to me when I was younger. I"m older now so I'll have to give it another go with Matcha.
they make concentrated matcha that you just mix with milk. id describe the taste as unsalted seaweed
Make sure it's good quality, the cheap stuff can be rather bitter.
I, personally, like it with a bit of bite, but a good one should be mellow and comforting.
Leaked information below
Poltchageist does have an evolution...named Sinistcha. They swapped the names around
Making a mess is all fun and games till he realizes he’s the one that has to clean it up once the camera turns off 😂
I guess this is a SPOILER at the moment so I'll hide it.
Poltchageist does evolve. It turns into Sinistcha. It's swapped. The evolution looks like Sinistea while the first one looks more like Polteageist. It's bigger than Poltchageist and they also have that forgery/authentic dynamic. It was something/masterpiece on Twitter.
I'm guessing this was made before Sinistcha was known, I'd love to hear Lockstin's take on why the evolutions are flipped 🤔
Teal mask DLC Spoiler origin facts:
For the New poison trio they are based on the Story momotaro about the boy who's born from a peach and their colors are swapped with the one on the otherside of the colorwheel
Red=green
Yellow=purple
Blue=Orange
Infact they are completely swapped the color just being a hint towards it thus they are the evil ones in this Story instead of the Oni
Hey L&G, long time watcher and enjoyer! I was wondering if you could cover the Pawniard line, like origin and what they’re based on? Idk if you take request like this but either way keep up the good work!
I fell in love with this pokemon from the moment I saw it. I can't wait to use it and knowing all the lore just adds to it.
Welp, technically yeah, the hebrew word for alive (חי) IS spelled in english as chai but the ch is actually a very pronounced version of h that is way more common in hebrew then in english (not sure if the letter ח's sound has a one to one equivellant in english)
1:33 Seems Lockstin’s been hanging out with Pavitr Prabhakar.
Hebrew speaker here; at 1:45 you say chai means living but the ch is pronounced like Chanukah so I don't think it fits
Convergent evolution is brilliant!! Love the new take on regional forms
We need more tea... Red, yellow, white, oolong... All the tea around the world as pokemon
I just watched this video, but I think it's important to mention that the 3 dots ( 6:48 ) are a map marking used in japan to represent tea plantations. Just like we will use a cross for a hospital or some trees for a park here in the west
I know it's not part of the video but an add for Pokémon sleep played directly after he "passed out"
Can you please do a video on the Bisharp line?
Spoiler alert: It's evo has been leaked and is called Sinistcha which looks like a granny in a large tea cup😅
Ok, but how the h€ll do you tell apart convergent evolution with regional variant with ghost type?
The reference to Pavitr's "it's like you're saying tea tea" made me happy for no apparent reason ✨
You only did the Chai reference to do that Across the Spiderverse joke didn't you?
A little bit of matcha powder dropped in my face while I was watching this
OH SHI-
@@HPMCCPooTisoh no.
Technically, it's a grass/ghost type, not a ghost/grass type as stated in this video.
Lockstin
there is a pre evolution leaked for Poltchageist called Sinistcha
Wait the wasabi in store sushi isn’t real wasabi?
Sure tastes like it tho
Hey I'm a big fan of your videos, especially your pokemon neo videos.
I love, Zzimp, he is such a cut little guy, but I don't want him evolving into a very intimidating succubus. Ild just love a celibate evo that is just a chill guy or gal
Not to say I don't like the evolutions they just don't have what I love about zzimp.
Like whinsmur to loadread.
1:45 Though it may be written with ch, the correct pronunciation in hebrew sounds closer to hai.
Love your videos, keep up the good work!
Stick and dots remindmeof boba(possible an isperation)
I will say that as someone who has seen the leaks, Poltchageist does evolve, and does incorporate the whisk into the design
Well don't spoil it for other people
Ayo I can't believe they straight up killed a dozen or so kids and a grandpa in a pokemon reveal
You can hear them snoring.
I Love cool Objectmon
lots of really good details in this, the idea of an object that has been used for 100 years, gaining spirit, is very interesting to think about.
I very much perfer this form then regular sinistea. Also learning about design origins is my favorite things about Pokémon designs.
He is Shrek tea. Nothing more, nothing less.
I reckon that Poltchageist is the evolved form, just like how we first saw Polteageist in trailers, while they're saving the Convergent pre-evo for the DLC launch like they did with Sinistea for the Gen 8 release.
1:33 Pavitr Prabhakar would like a word with you
I do wonder if it does have an evolution if it'll be more focused on the kintsugi angle and reform its still broken self into a more positive Pokémon. Like it has already been repaired a bit but still has holes in it.
The evolution already leaked
One fan theory I saw the other day was that the swirly bit and green cloudiness of the matcha are reminiscent of Spiritomb, so what if Poltchageist evolved into a Matcha Pokémon inspired by Spiritomb. Imagine, the caddy shattering and the mournful tea spirit bursting forth! It even works with the lore too, as the 108 spirits could now become the souls/energy of the people drained, or even more subtly referenced as 108 tea ceremonies? Alternatively, Cofagrigus could be an option, being the tea set cabinet, instead of just the caddy.
Similar to how Polteageist’s name becomes Poltchageist, Spiritomb could become Spiritomatcha or Spiritchai. Or, if you like the Cofagrigus idea, Chaigrigis or Matchagrigus
What do you think?
SPOILER ALERT: IT DOES EVOLVE. Also, good work, neighbor. You are the lore deep diver, I'm just the low budget fact man. BUT I WILL BEAT YOU AT THIS. Mark my words.
1:52 The Hebrew word "חי" is pronounced like "high" but with a roll in the first sound that doesn't exist in English, which is why it is sometimes transliterated as "chai", but it isn't pronounced like the word for tea. Living thing is "חיה" (haya), while "חי" just means "life". I think it's a stretch here, because ghosts are very importantly not alive and "living thing" here means more like animal as opposed to an object that is alive.
From the trailer that introduced this Pokémon with the Rakugo teller inform us that it is also based on Tsukumogami which are objects that become youkai
An important thing you only briefly touched on is why it's convergent. Poltergeist and Sinistea are a ghost that already existed possessing a cup of black tea and then pouring it into a tea pot. Poltchageist is the matcha caddy itself gaining life, no spirit required just the regrets of the old man. It's still a bit spiritual in nature as a yokai based Pokémon which is why unlike Wiglett and Toedscool it shares a type with the Pokémon it's based on, but it's not actually a ghost. That's why it's convergent.
Polchageist = Kool-aid man
Wonder how long it'll be before Sinistea gets a coffee cousin? (Sinispresso and Pressogeist, maybe...?)
1:34 he said the thung 🤯
I'm sure we're gonna see Sinischa/Toxapex cores, due to Hospitality and Regenerator synergizing.
I thought it drained the life of people because it’s a ghost type and they usually subsist off of the life force of their victims. Also I didn’t know there was a differentiation between real macha and the more commercials available kind.
I tried matcha a little over a year ago. I wanted to like it, but I honestly wasn't too impressed with it.
Chai tea!?! Chai means tea, bro?
@2:17 "Gatekeeping Garbage humans" comment means that anime can originated from any country in the world. Your words, not mine
fun fact: Poltchageist's Japanese name is Chadesu (チャデス). ちゃです is pronounced the exact same way and is a sentence that translates to "it is tea."
Poltchageist's Japanese name translates to "it is tea" 😂
I’m really enjoying these Convergent Pokemon. Though yet another Grass/Ghost type?
Champagne is a legal designation
I laughed😂 at this part 7:30
There’s too many ghost/grass pokemon. But at least Polchigeist and Sinescha are more fun than Bramblin and Brambleghast. That one, Squackabilli and maybe Rellor and Rabasca are gonna be the most “Oh yeah, that was a Pokemon” Pokémon.
(LEAK SPOILER WARNING) I love how you predicted the bamboo whisk in its evo which was leaked yesterday. You are 100% correct. I had no idea what that part of it was when I saw it, thought it was a weird straw. 😅
My best friend is from India, and he told me about the culture shock he had of people calling the flavour chai tea.
This things lore and design origin is both impressive and also the reason why I hate this Pokémon. This Pokémon is a jerk. Like Buneary having the lowest base happiness is because of this thing being such a jerk. I don't trust this Pokémon as far as I can throw a Gigaton Ball in a Backstrike at it. It's yet another Ghost and Grass Type which was already getting outta hand with Gen 7 but excusable until we kept getting more of them every generation it is ridiculous. And to top it all off, it's a possessed thing that makes something I don't drink because this is the one time where I am vehitamitly stereotypical American and stubbornly refuse to change because I drink Coffee AND this thing has the soul of a rude, stuck up, elitist, overly traditionalist old world era idealogue who was so unbearable that he died alone steeped in his own grudges and shame.
Yeah, you can basically tell what kinda things I think about more of the conservative or traditional ways because all my life I've only known that as a tool used for oppression or negativity and stigmatization against me simply because I was born into a later point in history and am eager to move on from old outdated societal norms. Like I knew I had a seriously personal relationship with Hisuian Zoroark in how I've lived and relate to it all too painfully accurate with how it feels to be hunted and feared because I'm different but hot damg man alive I had no idea that extended this much to a Pokémon who's whole personality and characteristics could be more difficult absolute opposites in many ways.
I know I'm going way too deep with a freakin Pokémon and relating it to real life drama and stuff but yeesh, I finally have a Pokémon who I can just dispise purely due to personal biases and reasons like how some people hate Garboder or Vanilluxe or Klinklang so now I know how that feels and as someone who grew up with Gen 5 let me just say this feels terrible. Now I too have something that is the Lickilicky to your Ambipom in terms of how much you hate any Pokémon. But at least those two are at least vaguely considered "so ugly it's cute" as aposed to mine being Boomer Tea thats still a jerk to people despite dying of loneliness and regret and that freakin CRABOMINATION. NO! NOT THE ICE TYPE! The o t h e r one. The one that spunds like a zombie violently breaking itself apart and groaning while twisted it's limbs 180-360 degrees as it's eyes roll completely detached from it's sockets and freakin climbs up cave wals and ceilings like a frwakin Terminator Star wars crab droid before launching itself at you likeva freakin facr hugger night walker xenomorph.
I really hate that stupid crab. But dang this stuffy old tea/leaf juice thing just really takes the cake for a close second place.
Now if you'll excuse me, my partner and I have some old ceramic tea kettles and china ware to SHATTER AND DESACRATE out of sheer petty grudge fueled Bitter Malice. While I sip my Coffee. 😅🦊
I guess that tea was cheap
Yet
I would not spread powder finer than dust in the middle of a room with plushies and electronics, bought use for personal fun and job
Why the blatant mispronounciation of חי?
The vowel is the "I" in "nice", but the "ח" is pronounced like the "ch" in "blech" (or in the German word "ich").
