Hi
Ok
Bird up! BirBirBirBIRDUP!
I already know why this evolutionary line makes perfect logical sense.
Biology teacher here, most of the stuff in this video is great! I just have a very small nitpick. You say in the video that there are 7 different levels of hierarchy in terms of classifying living things, but there are actually 8 of them. The extra one is even broader than kingdom and is called domain; the 3 domains are Eukarya, Bacteria, and Archaea. Previously, the organisms now in Archaea had been considered a type of Bacteria, but they were so intensely distinct and different that it needed even broader classification. Eukarya is the only domain with multicellular life; that’s just how many dang microscopic boys there are. All of the actually relevant information is great though!
Hello 👋👋👋
Ex Biotech here- thanks for putting this in. :) I love the science put in the videos but always pipe in when I feel things are missing. I mentioned the Honeycreepers on a previous video and am so happy he brought it into this one.
That side by side of the early route birds makes me realize that Hoothoot looks pretty different from Noctowl while not deviating too much animal-wise.
Now that you mention it, it is kind of odd that Noctowl didn't even really retain the one legged stance. Sure, the both have brows, but Hoothoot had a strong clockwork motif while Noctowl just had the not-not-Psychic thing going.
@@tomforge614 i think noctowls concept design from the beta designs did keep the motif and similarity with hoothoot, but i think they thought it looked too much like hoothoot amd not enough of an Evolution so they changed it to the form we see today.
To be fair, baby owls do often look extremely different from their adult forms colouration-wise.
@@michaellarose4913 To be fair, I agree with them. And I meant more like the clock hand eyebrows or a mustashe like hanging weight of a grandfather clock or a cuckoo clock or a crest like alarm clock bells.
Something to keep up the ticktock theme of Hoothoot. Not just a bigger Hoothoot.
@@tomforge614 I heard how Hoothoot was inspired by Sugimori’s pet owl who stood on one foot. I assumed Noctowl wasn’t designed to keep that aspect but it kept the psychic abilities that Hoothoot had.
Trumbeak could be referencing a civil war Bugler. They would accompany artillery and infantry alike, and would play the bugle to intimidate enemies and keep their allies nerves down, and it’s beak also serves as a rifle (which is in this case automatic, but both lines could also be referencing the Gatling gun of the very soon after era of the Wild West), which fits the civil war soldier motif. Tuocannon obviously fits this same design, as it is literally a cannon and has a very stern militant look to its design, as opposed to the less stern but still serious look of Trumbeak
and that has pikipek as the drummer boy, keeping beat
I read this as a Civil War Burglar at first and I was confused on why I almost accepted the idea of some rascal that follows soldiers into battle to steal from them until I re-read the first sentence. I was also fully ready to accept the idea that this BIRD POKEMON commits wartime felonies.
They really should have picked a better name for it that didn't sound like Trump.
@@FilthyCasualty I just replayed the museum level in the Ghostbusters Remastered game last night and there's a Civil War exhibit complete with ghost soldiers.
@@smb-c3po
I played that game. I like how you can get hit by musket shots and cannon fire and be completely fine.
I was actually surprised that woodpeckers and toucans were related and it made me appreciate the idea of going from Pikipek to Toucannon even if I was a bit curious on why it wasn’t Fire/Flying when reading the Pokedex entries.
I’d definitely be down for a Pikipek regional variant that has its final evolution stay a Woodpecker. Maybe for a region based on an area like Canada where there aren't any toucans or as part of the Kaskadian region
Also as someone from Hawaii, there was a missed opportunity to have Hawaii’s state bird, the Nene be made into a Pokemon.
Yeah, it's odd (should've had its signature move change its type at least as it heats up). Only explanation for why they didn't that I can think of is they didn't want another Fire/Flying final early bird so soon.
It's the same reason Rookidee's final evolution is Corviknight; chickadees and corvids are passerines.
I'm from Hawaii too! I definitely agree, but at least we got Hawaiian honeycreeper pokemon, and they definitely did them justice
You know what would be funny?
If the Nene knew tail whip.
The horrific, biting goose? There was at least one highly ornery one at the Llanelli wildfowl sanctuary last I went there
Why people complaining about a woodpecker evolving into a toucan, when you have a seagull evolving into a Pelican
Yeah i never understood this debate either. Nobody is complaining about Pokémon like Snivy {bipedal lizard like pokemon} evolving into Serperior {just a fancy snake} or Applin {worm} turning into Flapple {bat? Maybe bird? Probably dragon?} And Appletun {turtle? Maybe?}
@@ricegorm Well snivy probably evolves from a small lizard to titanaboa, because that's showing where snakes actually evolved from, which is believed to be from lizards.
@@cactusaur5622 yeah I actually have no problem with the evolutionary line. Genuinely one of my favourites bc I thought that was neat and bc I love grass types. I just brought them up since I thought it was funny there's no complaints about other pokemon that are just as "weird" with their evolutions. Thanks for explaining the line tho!
@@ricegorm The whole applin evolution line is based off of the old worm in the apple thing while they focused more on the apple part for its evolutions.
@@FossorialFungus I get that. I just brought them up because some people might be confused about Applin. Kind of just as a "this makes more sense than that, so why do people complain about this and not that" situation if that makes sense. I think all the Pokémon I mentioned + Toucanon make perfect sense, and even more sense than a lot of Pokémon other people don't talk about. They were just the first 2 I thought of.
{I actually like the little wyrm in an apple thing. I think its really funny and pretty clever to make the worm a wyrm}
I feel like there is an underlying theme of warfare in the line as trumbeak is a bugler, tucannon having the expression of an old general, the line being able to shoot seeds like bullets. I have also noticed that in the anime pikipek live in larger nests than other route one birds, except for wingull, and there was only one tucannon in charge of the flock.
It would be fitting in playing into the invasive species part of the lore too as the Hawaiian islands were taken by the US (and UK) military and now play significant roles in national defense.
I haven’t watched the video yet, but based on this comment *it sounds interesting to say the least*
@@djroscurro9859 it is a very well put together video, let me know when you are finished with it
Really? I feel like most starting birds do, Pidgey, Spearow, Tailow, I guess Noctowl doesn't, Starly I think does but by Staraptor they go lone wolf, Pidove might be the same since pidgeons are very groupy birds, but I could see by Unfezant living alone or smaller groups. Not sure with Talon flame or Corvinight.
@@Blaze4ification The point that I was trying to get at was many of the first stage birds group up but not many have the full line included in their flock like the Alola birds do. I might be wrong with this though.
@@snailmail6831
Oh that's what you mean, still true, at least in the anime since that's also where you pulled the toucannon from. That's, heck, why Ash gets rid of his Pidgeot, to protect a flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto from the flock of Spearow that attacked him and Pikachu, and the Fearow was specifically the one he threw a rock at. So those 2 at the very least do live in flocks with their later evos, Taillow not sure on, it just seems like a bird that would for similar reasons to Pidgey, and Staraptor is proven to yes leave the flock because they're edge birds that like I said go lone wolf. No idea on the other ones though, and I have no proof one way or another, even for Hoothoot or again Taillow, but owls in general don't go in flocks so highly doubt Noctowl hang around Hoothoot too much.
Shorebirds can actually bend their beaks like that, it's called rhynchokinesis and it's cursed af
At first I used to be confused about it not being a woodpecker until I saw that woodpeckers and toucans are in the same order (Piciformes).
And Toucannon has the same color scheme as the pre-evolutions, reminds me of Talonflame having a similar minor divergence from its pre-evos but still looks similar.
EDIT: I know the video explains it near the end, just wanted to explain my thoughts and how Toucannon similar to Talonflame.
Toucannon is probably my second favourite regional bird overall, right behind Corviknight. There's just something about it in general that makes me comfortable looking at it, Toucannon itself however is definitely NOT feeling comfortable. I like it. It is pleasing to my eye. Also that shiny is freaking immaculate!
Tl,dw. Toucans are actually a type of specialized woodpecker
Yep, already knew this.
Yeah, was saying it when I saw the thumbnail.. like, what, do people not know all three are types of woodpeckers, just two are specialized fellas.
I actually didn't know that! I'm excited to watch haha
@@thejestor9378 ofc lots of people don’t know. It’s trivia about a bird most people will never see.
They're in the same genus.
Both Toucans and Woodpeckers have tongues anchored around the skull.
I remember seeing someone release their toucannon cause they didnt know pikipeck would evolve into it. Something about trauma relating to toucans
Toucannons z move animation is super funny it just stands they and "fly's" up to attack game freak went from having flying Pokémon constantly flying in gen six to having one stay on the ground the whole time
It looking so ridiculous had to have been intentional. The _one_ NPC who uses Flyinium Z has a Toucannon as her ace.
@@DrPumpkinz kahili the elite four member?
@@Azrael_is_here Yup
Legends say that Toucannon is a bird that can fly via sheer anger alone.
@@rayplaysgamesrpg7233 maybe it yeets itself up by the blasts from its beak
I love the idea of a Trumbeak making Pingu noises.
Yep, already knew this. Another fun fact. The Hawaiian owl, which looks a lot like Decidueye, original had the scientific name of Strix which sounds a lot like Dartrix
All of his fans: how many jokes do you want in the sponsor ship?
Lockstin: *YES*
Wassup Imao
These bots don’t even have Lockstin’s username-
i think the thermal imaging partly inspired the "power bar" beak on the regular form! if you look at the picture, and then at toucannon's beak, they look very similar!
None of you possess the intellectual capacity to fathom the Chad that is Toucannon. His existence is an enigmatic paradox that vexes any mortal eyes that grace it, and his transformation is a mystery shrouded in deeper layers of mystery. He is beyond logic, emotion, or reality.
Thermostat birb lol
had a great time writing this script! thanks again for working with me to bring some toucan facts to the channel :)
Alola had some of the best birds imo. Toucannon and Oricorio are perfect
My wife and I just recently moved here to Hawaii and I noticed there is a regional variation of the Red cardinal here that resembles Pikipek. It has a red head with a black and white body. Maybe that was an inspiration for the Pokémon?
Hello 👋👋👋
@@isabella.thomas0612 hey Isabella!
Exactly what I was thinking. That bird looks exactly like a pikipek in my opinion!
@@I_am_Kyle_Tetley it's nice meeting you here, I'm from Denmark and which country are you from
@@isabella.thomas0612 America.
Toucannon is my favorite of the early game regional birds, and I think it's criminally underrated. I got a lot of use out of Beak Blast.
Here's hoping it comes back in SV.
Its finally coming back in the dlc!
Because woodpeckers are related to toucans. Roll credits
True
0:03 I'm pretty sure the joke is poking fun at how Hawai'i is both the name of the biggest island as well as the collective archipelago (also since they named the region after the local greeting)
Hello
Did you know that woodpecker youngest are so long to get bugs that it wraps around a part of their brain?
Also my aunt had a woodpecker tounge in her freezer for a few months. She's an ecologist and her workplace needed someone to keep the tounge safe to be a able to preserve later
Yes, actually I did know that. Thanks to the movie about the Doctor who discovered concussions were frequent in Football players and the consequences of the repeated concussions they received.
Did you mean "tongues" instead of "youngest?"
@@michaeldaniels642 yes haha
Wouldn't it make more sense if the regional bird for alola for it to be a two staged line based on the Nene goose/Hawaiian goose or even a three stage pokemon based on the hawaiian cardinal since we have not had a cardinal bird inspired pokemon before and it would make sense and would be different from the likes of ducklett and quaxoly?🦆
Nah we have goose pokemon and like 2 duck pokemon.
During my first run of Moon, I had one of these on my team and named it Autumn Dusk. ^_^
When I fought Kahuna Olivia, her Lycanrock absolutely demolished my team, leaving only my nameless Trumbeak left. That stubborn bird proceeded to dodge every other attack, and endured everything that hit out of sheer determination.
Thus Tchaikovsky earned a permanent spot on my team.
i named mine cheekie lol
They so missed an opportunity to bring representation to the possibly extinct Ivory billed woodpecker would’ve been a bad ass final form
I feel like corviknight have the weirdest evolution line honestly. I dont see the problem with pikipek on that point
Nope, corviknight makes sense. They are all related. They are all Passeriforme. Rookidee is a chickadee. More specifically it is a blue tit but chickadee is a much more appropriate name for a kids game then tit and chickadees are tits. Corvisquire and Corviknight are both corvids. Corvisquire looks like a stellar's Jay, a corvid, and Corviknight is clearly a raven, a corvid. Corvids are Passeriformes.
@@UlexiteTVStoneLexite I Guess you're right. It still feel weird for me when there's other corvids in the pokemon world (murkrow and hunchkrow) To see a chikadee transform into a corvid, when they looks nothing alike.
With pikipek, Yup I didn't know if they are related but they look so much alike, it just make sense for me
@@GameurBlais chickadees are songbirds. Crows are songbirds. Crows and Ravens are the largest songbirds.
@@UlexiteTVStoneLexite Also, their shinies seem to refrence leucism.
I never finished sun and moon so until a few days ago I didn’t realize that they were the same evolution line because they just look so different.
I'm really excited to see what the next regional bird is!
I love that you incorporate so much science into your videos. That's great.
I'd counter that the tail isn't a canon, but a back plate/rear spade, which is essentially a heavy part of the cannon at the rear that is locked set at the rear of a cannon to provide stability during fire missions. The way the Toucannon's tail seems to be firmly planted the ground, almost pushing into it, speaks more to that motif than a fuse.
It’s because woodpecker’s in two cans are in the same evolutionarily line
Dang they can woodpeckers separately now
Since Toucannon and the others appear to be a bit foreign, this sort of matches L.T Surge's appearance in Alola. He is a military man in Alola. What if Pikipek's evolution line represents a promotion from a young boy, to a bugler, all the way to a cannoneer? Trumbeak even looks like infantry. Maybe they even evolved to fit their situation. But why would they need to is the question?
There's also the theme of each form having distinct types of beaks, showing off a variety and that the evolution path allows the species to branch off in forms of gathering food.
We start with a finch beak that can grab small seeds and insects, and move to the woodpecker beak that can drill and dig for harder to reach food. Ending with the Toucan beak which might just be there for style and uniqueness. IDK a lot about toucans honestly.
Hello 👋👋
Big fan of Toucannon, always wondered how a woodpecker turns into a toucan, I guess it's much simpler than I thought!
Evolution 🤷🏽♂️
I honestly completely forgot these Pokémon existed😂. Great video as usual.
It still makes me giggle everytime I see that toucannon was used as a bazooka
Because toucans are also technically woodpeckers
I just answered the title's question in one sentence
Fletchling evo line is more confusing. A Robin becoming a falcon.
Oh Lockstin, that ending was perfect. Also, another great video. This just further proves GameFreak does their research. I already love the Toucannon line, and this just makes me love it more.
Hello 👋👋👋
I think that TierZoo mentioned in their bird tier list that toucans are a species of woodpecker that evolved to have a larger, more powerful beak at the cost of not being able to drill through wood.
Can you make a video about why Pokémon like Skorupi to Drapion change types when evolving?
Trumbeak could referencing how the trumpet is used by the military from waking up in the morning to in olden days trying to stabilize your soldiers or drive fear into enemies. Also nose could be a rifle or machine gun
Jeez what an entertaining video. Lockstin is getting more creative from what I can tell
"TOUCANNON'S FREAKING PISSED" might just be my favorite introduction on the channel.
Oh my gosh, Biotaverse!! Love that dude's videos!
their names all reference musical instruments
Piccolo
Trumpet
Cannon
or different loud sounds connected to a classical army.
The drummer boys, the bugle revelery and of course KABOOM!
Hello
Toucannon should have got one of two things:
1. Got into a Switch game
2. Got its own Z-move: Blinding Beakburst. This is a Flying-type move that is an upgrade to Beak Blast. It inflicts damage, and leaves every opposing Pokémon with a burn.
10:19 NOOT NOOT!!!
"That said, the State has a massive invasive species problem. Since colonization, over 4000 different plants and animals have been introduced to the islands’, out-competing native species, some of which unfortunately have gone extinct. While this is of course horrible, it did not go unnoticed by gamefreak. I mean, the main plot of the gen 7 games is directly tied to ultra beasts, which are basically just invasive pokemon from another dimension after all. And its not jus the ultra beasts, either. Even the yungoos and grubbin lines, which are based on the mongoose and Cyclommatus stag beetle, aren’t natively found in Hawaii, but rather were BROUGHT there… which also fits the invasive species theme, So I suppose Gamefreak just used the toucan since it's a tropical-looking bird."
A part of the script I thought was very interesting and worth capturing, since it only flashes by in the captions
Why does a fish become an octopus? A gnat into a moth? A fish into an Eel or Sea Serpent? An ant into a dragonfly? A clam into an eel? A corgi into a greyhound?
"An ant into a dragonfly" is this referring to Flygon? The whole line is based on antlions, nothing to do with ants or dragonflies (or lions), so they make thematic sense with eachother. I agree with the rest though, except Remoraid and Octillery, they're a gun that becomes a cannon, again, it makes thematic sense.
So Pikipek is the drummer boy
Trumbeak is the bugle call
and Toucanon is the Altileray...
Hello
Toucannon became my favorite regional bird just because of its glare... it just seems so upset and displeased with everything
Hey, Lockstin! You should do a video explaining why different evolution methods work as they do, especially trade evolutions (and possibly friendship evolutions and held-item evolutions). You already did one for Karrablast/Shelmet to Escavalier/Accelgor, but I think others could use some explaining.
Basically, as I understand it/theorize it, when traded, the Pokémon being traded, any items they’re holding, and the ball they’re in become digitized and then sent to the other trainer, with them passing each other halfway along the way to their new trainer. The process is imperfect, however, which can cause changes to occur.
This is easiest to see with held-item trade evolutions, where the separation between the Pokémon and the held item dissolves, leading to the item being incorporated into the Pokémon. For example, Onix and Scyther become mixed with a held Metal Coat, essentially having the Metal Coat coating their bodies, leading them to evolve into Steelix and Scizor, respectively. The dragon DNA from a held Dragon Scale mixes with Seadra, causing its hidden dragon elements to be strengthened to the point that it gains the Dragon type and evolves into Kingdra. Rhydon gets covered by a held Protector to become Rhyperior. Porygon-being a Pokémon made of digital data already-has its code be mixed with the code contained on a held Upgrade to become Porygon2, which, in turn, has its code be mixed with the code contained on a held Dubious Disk to become Porygon-Z. And so on.
Admittedly, some are a bit more confusing than others. Take Politoed for example. To evolve Poliwhirl into Politoed, it must be traded while holding a King’s Rock. However, there’s nothing about Politoed’s design or Dex entries that would explain why this would happen. Comparably, though not the same, is Slowpoke to Slowking (non-Galarian). While the Dex entries and design do make this make _some_ sense, they also confuse the matter. According to canon, if a Slowpoke wears a King’s Rock on its head, a Shellder will bite there instead of its tail, causing it to evolve into Slowking (with a crown-like spiral Shellder on its head) instead of Slowbro (with a spiral Shellder on its tail). However, while this would explain why a King’s Rock would cause Slowpoke to evolve into Slowking _somehow,_ it doesn’t explain why trading would be necessary. Why can’t it be used like an evolution stone, or for a held-item level-up evolution? I feel like that would make a lot more sense. Then there’s Clamperl to Huntail/Gorebyss. While it’s easy to see why a Deep Sea Tooth would result in a Huntail and why a Deep Sea Scale would result in a Gorebyss generally speaking, why a _Clamperl,_ of all things, evolve into these two Pokémon makes a lot less sense. If it was another eel or eel-like Pokémon instead of Clamperl, it’d make a lot more sense, but aside from being ocean creatures, Clamperl has nothing in common with its evolutions, which is quite unlike other trade and held-item + trade evolutions.
I appreciate this evo line a lot more than I used to thanks to this video. Also, I can't NOT hear "NOOT NOOT" now when I think of or see Trumbeak. Thanks, Lockstin. XD
The toucans in the footage all look so happy, a far cry from Toucannon.
I very much enjoyed that ending it actually had me giggling
Toucannon has one of my favorite shiny forms! Glad to see it getting more attention
When I was in Ornithology class, I was so excited to learn the Piciformes connection between Pikipek and Toucannon. I would pronounce it as "Pik-a-day" and "Pik-a-form-ees" like you, then my Grad Student TA kept correcting me with "Um AYCKSHUALLY it's 'PIE-kuh-day and Pie-kuh-form-ees." :/ "Pica-" being the root meaning for eating at/pecking at (like the eating disorder, too)
As a Hawaiian, I have asked EXACTLY these questions. Thank you for doing the research and making the video 😃
Has Lockstin done a video explaining the design reason for Gigantamax Pokemon? I don't get the reason why Gigantamax Kingler looks the way it is.
Crabs apparently can make bubble form in their mouths
@@sargentgullible2794 I wonder if it might also be a reference to the fact giant spider crabs can have a long life (up to 100 years), so could be they've "grown" a beard in old age.
Personally, I don’t think *EVERY* Pokémon has to be inspired by an animal or creature from the continent or island the game is set in
Pokémon is a fantasy game and well, fantasy should come first, real life inspiration and accuracy is just a great thing to mix with it, but shouldn’t take top priority imo as, that wouldn’t be fun for the people making the game if they had such a tight leash that prohibits their creativity like that
The reason why Toucannon is in Alola is most likely simply, it’s a popular tropical bird, and the game is set in a tropical region
It just fits
i guess as long as it fits the themes of the region and isn’t too out of place, it shouldn’t matter what it’s based on
Why is Komala in Alola tho?
Why is toucannon not flying/fire type the Pokédex entries talk about it having a beak that can heat up to 212 Degrees Fahrenheit and how it’s beak ignites internal gas to launch powerful attacks
Because we had talonflame last generation
@@TheLuckOfTheClaws literally every route 1 bird is normal/flying until talon flame what would stop game freak from making another same type bird. Not to mention game freak isn’t afraid of doing the same thing over multiple times *cough cough blazikin, infernape, emboar*
Pikipek -> Trumbeak -> Toucannon
Piccolo -> Trumpet -> Cannon
The birds get louder as they evolve. Also, all three were used in warfare music.
fun fact, the bill of a toucan is bigger than the rest of its skeleton
Trumbeak is also based on the blunderbus, a old type of blackpowder rifle that was basically a hand held cannon. The end of the barrel was shaped like a trumpet for a more spread out blast range. It was basically a proto-shotgun
Toucannon is my favorite regional bird and i'm so happy it got its own dedicated episode :)
That stuff about Piciformes was very good reporting! Good work!
Ngl, I like how Pokemon will sometimes link species between one another
Idk if you've made a vid on Claydol before, but seeing Hoothoot and Noctowl in this video reminded me how I used to think Claydol was the evolution from Hoothoot when I was a kid.
I feel like there is also millitary inspiration there, as well. Trumpets are classically stereotypically used to wake up troops. Troops like fresh recruits troops who might fire canons. We won’t even get into pearl harbor here… And the fact that Hawaii is a military base hot spot due to it’s unique geographic location which makes it perfect for staging military opperations.
toucannons always been one of my favorites as pkmn moon was my first actual pokemon game and pikipek was the first pkmn ive ever caught, and it helped me beat the elite four
I always wanted a Toucan evolution for Chatot. I would give it the name Toucall. Thank you for this, it really makes me think more about my favorite bird Pokemon.
So many bird puns...SO MANY.
Also that Pingu "Noot Noot" cracked me up. XD
This is why I love this channel
something i feel is overlooked but important in regards to "why are there toucans and woodpecckers in Hawaii?"
Aloloa is not Hawaii. it is BASED on Hawaii, but it is not Hawaii itself. (also Pikapek and Toucannon are not directly woodpeckers / toucans). So major differences such as native wildlife can be expected.
You know lockstin I'm a lil surprised you didn't mentioned how unique beak trumbeak is. Considering it's in its name
All these bird puns are deliciously fueling my soul.
The blue billed toucans would explain the shiny form of Toucannon, as it is basically a blue-billed toucanon, with the "heat bars" going from blue and purple to a red-purple color.
Hello 👋👋👋
I've needed a new bed for a while now and after seeing you talk about it repeatedly I decided to go for it.
I've always known this evolutionary line made perfect sense since woodpeckers are actually related to toucans and my birth totem is that of a woodpecker, I was still gonna use Toucannon on my Alola team regardless.
I pray to GOD you got extra money for the amount of bird puns in the ad. That was HILARIOUS. I loved it 😂😂😂
Toucannon is always an itch in my brain... glad you tackled this topic 😩
Honestly, I never saw the connection between the Cannon. I mean I understood the name being Toucan + Cannon, but I literally never recognized any of the canon motifs. Absolutely wild.
A video about the Pokémon gym badges and what they are designed after.
Watching this while playing my old sun and moon copy and I can feel the evil glares from my Toucannon rn
Wow! Two scam bots! I feel so lucky!
When you brought up the Linnaean Hierarchical, I had a flashback to when I had to memorized the order of them from Kingdom to Species (Though my science teacher had us remember an extra step, that being Domain which is broader than Kingdom) for a science test IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. I am almost 20 and I still remember the order it. I even said the order out loud before you even showed it.
I have no idea why this information stuck with me, I guess I really didn't want to get it wrong on that test.
5:55 nah i gotta rewatch the sun and moon anime now, how do i not remember this legendary scene
This really feels like a Blastoise situation where Pikipek/Trumbeak and Toucannon were two totally different lines of Pokémon at one point in early development, but they decided to mix the two families together to save room on the Alolan Dex and the Toucannon looked similar enough.
The sheer amount of eggceptional avian awesomeness is amazing
I still remember the nightmare pokémon video. Between that jumpscare and Ambipom in the 20 worst pokédesigns, you really know how to scare me half to death
I’m from Connecticut. Thank you for that laugh 😂
Hello
Lockstin's lack of shame is truly hilarious to watch. You go, Lockstin! You play that kazoo!
The seeming musical element brought into this reminds me of the composer who called for cannons to be used in a piece of classical music. Toucannon is a "musical cannon" -bird. It's only getting better
i love how Toucannon is always looking pissed
any one notice a military theme, Pikipecks neck looks like some neck areas of old uniforms, and do I really have to explain the bugle and canon
After playing through Pokémon Sun , Toucannon has become my favorite regional bird! It’s so much fun to use and I love it’s pissed off attitude!
This has to be one of your best endings ever 😂😂😂
