    A Japanese-speaking friend told me that Farfetchd was a reference to a proverb which translates to ‘sometimes a duck comes along carrying a leek’. Ducks are traditionally cooked with leaks, so if a duck comes along carrying one it’s just plain convenient. The meaning of the phrase is therefore roughly akin to ‘don’t look a gift horse in the mouth’ or ‘don’t question unlooked for good fortune’.

    • @christiancinnabars1402
      @christiancinnabars1402 Місяць тому +6

      @nicholaslienandjaja1815 Ledian's design is based off of the ever popular sentai fighting shows from Japan. Power Rangers was named in the video because it is the most popular show from that genre in the West, but Kamen Rider is extremely popular in Japan and literally is centered around bug themed superheroes. So the inspiration is very evident in that regard.
      Orbeetle is the ladybug that is designed around extraterrestrials moreso than Ledian.

    Pidgey is based on a Tree Sparrow, and Spearow is a Sparrowhawk.
    Paras/Parasect are cordyceps infected cicadas.
    Pretty sure Dewgong is also based on dugong (manatee)....as the name would suggest.
    I think Lickitung is also VERY loosely based on giant anteater.
    Koffing/Weezing also based on volcanic gas vents.
    Jynx is based on the yokai Yuki-onna.
    Magikarp/Gyarados also based on the legend of a koi swimming up a mountain to become a dragon...and possibly Japanese windsocks.
    Hoothoot additionally based on a clock.
    Spinerak is specifically a Happy Face Spider.
    Sudowoodo likely also loosely based on Walking Stick insects.
    Entire Hoppip line based on dandelion from leaves to flower to seed puffs.
    Espeon based on the yokai Nekomata.
    Murkrow also based on witch's hat and broom.
    Pineco is a bagworm.
    Qwilfish also based on marine mines.
    Shuckle is most likely based on the macro view of brewer's yeast, as well as a turtle, wine amphora, and slime mold.
    Donphan also based on a tire.

    Great video truly I feel like the production could definitely be better and gain more views. Things that are the same inspiration you could put them together, example: “pokemon a b and c are inspired by ____”. You could also instead of reading it off as if it were a bullet point system you could read them off as a full sentence, example “Ekans are based off of the Indian cobras, kakunas are based off literal cocoons” it fleshes out the content a little more. Truly a great concept on this video tho I wish more people talked about it in glad you spoke on this 💯

    Your commitment to going over every single Pokémon is commendable, but I feel there are several cases where you don’t get every inspiration, just taking some Johto moms for example, thanks to the beta sprites we know that another inspiration for gligar were the facehuggers from alien and that shuckle was primarily based on snake wine, outside of that the forteress line are also based on bagworms and Murkrow has witch riding a broomstick design motifs
