Fezandipiti: "scatters pheromones that captivate people and pokemon."

Gouging Fire: It "rampages and spouts pillars of flame". Yeah id say this could count as indiscriminate attack and also incendiary weaponry, especially since it's probably burning down the forests. Raging Bolt: it "incinerates everything around it with lightning". Incendiary weaponry, yeah. Iron Crown: There was "an incident in which it launched shining blades to cut everything around it to pieces."

When Arceus needs to create a new legendary pokemon, he doesn't just use his own power to do it. NOPE. He walks over to the unown and asks them for help. Which, okay cool, so arceus and the unown combine their powers and can make an entire universe. Right? NNnnnnope. The unown are proven to be able to make new worlds, and new legendaries, all on their own without any help from Arceus, they've been doing so for centuries while Arceus was in seclusion. The unown will do this at the behest of some random 5 year old who wants her dead mother back. There is an episode where Ash goes dimension hopping around the Johto region to try and get a lost unown back to it's home dimension.

Well some of the Pokemons are based on Japanese youkai, some youkai love human's soul or trick them to be eaten, youkai exist because of human's fear and imagination and children love to imagining things.
I think the creepiest thing about Pokémon is the fact that several Pokémon just eat souls or kidnap children and it’s not even there for creepiness. It’s just a side note like “Yeah this Pokémon kidnaps children that hold it’s string,” or “This Pokémon is actually a psychic human child who mutated into a Pokémon one night”

I’m actually convinced that the Pokedex entry is biased. Think about who’s most likely helping to write this entry: Professor Oak, a leading researcher on Pokémon in Kanto. Either he would have been involved in “Project Cain” (which I’m calling it now because my childhood edgelord demands a cool name) and want nothing to do with it anymore, OR he would have been against it from the beginning.

In defense of those Pokémon that deny the afterlife by make you a wandering spirit, Pokémon like Dusknoir and Pumpkaboo exist to help wandering spirits move on, so whoever runs the PokéAfterlife clearly has this system thought out. Hell Pumpkaboo implies some wandering spirits become guides to help others pass on.
I dont think so saying dusknoir doesnt help you go to the afterlife... He consumes your soul And i dont think you can go to the afterlife without a soul
@@Ace_Bishopas much as that sounds like something a ghost Pokémon would do, I don’t think it’s the case. Some of its Pokédex entries say it takes spirits into its body to guide them home.

Oh, the anime actually shows us what happens when a Mismagius eats your soul and traps you as food inside of it's gemstone. Happens to ash twice actually, though in the first instance he actually just walked into the afterlife by stumbling across a portal to the land of the dead. Turns out the Mismagius gets to control everything you see, hear, and feel, and can create an entire environment filled with NPCs for your disembodied soul to interact with. Friendly ones use it to convince you to just stay eaten by giving you an ideal world to live out your most cherished fantasies. Ones that hate you devour your soul and present you with your own personal hell. Forever. When team rocket got eaten, Mismagius had them experience blasting off over and over and over, getting blown right back into the sky the moment they land.
@@JediSteve-J3- By my count he has died a grand total of 8 times (depending on exactly how you count it, his very first episode meeting Ho-oh was probably a death, given Ho-oh is said to use "Sacred Ash" to revive the dead.

By the way, Liches exist in this universe, and Ash found a phylactery.
Apparently only 120 of the 12000 reported were from the day the episode aired. The vast majority reported illness 3 days after.

@@rileykopinski6026 yeah anlso it was good that most of the kids who were actually directly affected only had headaches and puke instead of having a full body seizure and doing the toungle choking thing.
I think the pokemon afterlife was based on eastern concepts of the afterlife. It goes something like this: -People have souls, souls stay around after death -Souls can be destroyed -Souls tend to stay in the human world for a while before they move on to the afterlife -Some souls can't move on and become ghosts. -Other souls return to the cycle of reincarnation to be born again
Honestly, Machamp’s pretty chill by the standards of Pokémon at that power level. Heck, even in “go mad with power” Dynamax, its first instinct is to rescue ships and bring them back to port
The fun thing about Raticate is that it's not even really an exaggeration of reality. Real rats actually do have to use their teeth regularly or face getting injured by their own teeth. They gnaw through stuff like wood and power cables too, so they do cause real damage to buildings.
This is an all rodent thing. Hamsters, rats, chipmunks, capybaras, beavers, and the list goes on. I've heard at least one story of somebody's shed losing its structural integrity from rodents chewing on its supports. I think it was just one wall, luckily. And it was a shed, not their house, but the point stands. These guys gotta chew.
Well it technically isn't wearing clothing or icons used by the enemy. It isn't WEARING anything. While it sometimes does copy people, at those times it's not in combat so that would just be regular old identity theft, not a war crime.
Considering how many pokemon could feasibly make mountains, Im sure they have a special task force out there that secretly replaces them after they destroyed
I still find it funny how Pinsir breaks the trend on mega evolution. Like everything else is talking about the extreme stress the transformation puts on the pokemon's body, and then Pinsir is just like "holy shit this guy loves flying, look how much he enjoys flying"
"Seperate your soul from your body" How do fantasy writers not realize that's just a fancy way of saying "killing a person", like, i get its supposed to be this spooky 'touch of death' thing, but i'm pretty sure if a normal horse kicked you hard enough your soul would leave your body too
I mean ya got a point but in the terms of fantasy it could imply that 'something else' could enter your soulless body, it would be terrifying if a Yamask or Hisuian Zoroark (Only mentioning the new Zoroark just because of its ghost typing and my liking of Zoroark) convinced a Spectrier to kick someone's soul out of their body only to enter and inhabit it. I'd also imagine that other ghost pokemon would want to eat or capture your soul and such. At least your soul can hopefully reenter your body.
It's the silly consequences of keeping things kid friendly. You can't kill a person and trap thier spirit in hell, but you can "remove their souls and trap it in the shadow realm." You can't have cartoons shoot guns, but lasers are fair game. Can't have characters use weapons on people, but they can brandish them and use them as tools. Spiderman can't punch people so he drop kicks with hilarious regularity. At this point its practically a staple of children's media and localization.
I mean to be fair in the Pokemon universe your soul being separated from your body doesn't seem to actually kill you. In the anime, Ash and Pikachu's souls were taken out of their bodies by a Haunter and they were fine. Even though a whole chandelier fell on them.
Something about your horse analogy got me thinking. If a horse kicking technically makes your soul leave your body. What an animal or being had the ability to do the opposite. It can now trap your soul in your body. So it can never leave. Your soul is trapped, you have no ability to use your now limp decaying body and until it is fully decayed you're fully conscious and away how trapped you are. I'm just gonna avoid horses for a bit and try to go back to sleep.
To be fair... Just because they _CAN_ destroy the universe doesn't mean that they _WOULD_ destroy the universe. They could be completely harmless individuals who have complete control over themselves and their powers and only go around doing good deeds or whatever. I could go and find a defenseless animal somewhere and ruthlessly kill it or set a forest/someone's house on fire somewhere. I have that ability and could do that at any time. But would I ever do something like that? Hell no! So even saying that someone is a war criminal just because they have the ability to destroy the universe is a bit...harsh. Obviously they have the very real possibility of becoming a war criminal (and... arguably much worse...) but at the same time they might not even _WANT_ to destroy the universe (and can control themselves in a way that that's never even an issue) so it would be the equivalent of arresting someone just because they have the capability of committing murder in a very specific circumstance despite never even showing any signs of wanting to so much as threaten someone.
Sometimes I think about the fact that half the pokemon could easily kill any or all humans, yet they are perfectly fine being the pet of a 10 year old fighting the local space themed gang who are also capturing pokemon but for more evil purposes
@@_EllieLOL_ that's wrong entirely and the manga and show have proven that. A pokeball does NOT make pokemon listen to the trainer and some will STILL fight the trainer once let out. Pikachu HATED ash in the first episode and wouldnt even listen to him to stay in the pokeball and even attacked him. The reason pokemon listen is cause they understand that bonds with trainers can make them stronger but that's only if they see that a trainer is worthy of training them. And pokeballs dont even contain the pokemon since they can leave whenever they and and break their pokeball (whichbhas happened several times) the only time that cant happen is a master ball which was used on mewtwo who was crazy and just attacking people cause in the manga he was pure evil.
@@_EllieLOL_ That's still not right. Mind control had never, especially in the games, been part of pokemon. It is seen as BAD to brainwash pokemon or do anything completely against their will. Remember, in the games any pokemon above your gym level will DISOBEY you. Showing obvious free will, you have to gain their respect. Strong people have more stronger pokemon listen.
@@AllucardBR-JPFS actually ash is a fighting type. most humans are normal type. However, that could mean that Arven is a fighting type. (there's also psychic type)

@@DaveyGunface This is a hella late reply but I find it funny that you mention Hatterene because that is a newer (in terms of when this video came out) pokemon that would definitely qualify as a war criminal by way of "Indiscriminate attack"
Regarding poison, the scale of "Poison is illegal" is a lot worse than you might think, since TM06, Toxic is a near *universal* TM, meaning all but a miniscule handful of Pokemon can poison others through I-don't-even-know-how means
Most pokemon being able to learn Toxic makes sense. The subtext is that the pokemon is throwing/squirting its feces on the opponent. Feces = poison has long been a trope in media, from Digimon to Dark Souls, and in real life some armies have smeared feces on their weapons or traps to cause enemies to slow die (which sounds exactly like the move Toxic)
Maybe the reason no one hunts afterlife-denying pokemon is because they’re too scared of them. If someone told me jellyfish could destroy my soul forever I’d probably just be like “damn I guess I’ll stay out of the ocean”
I agree with the premise, but I feel like this particular argument is just too egregious. History has shown time and time and time again that there'll be who fight because they fear it. Fear doesn't lead to just flight. Not everyone goes “damn I guess I’ll stay out of the ocean”, or we would've made far less species extinct. You make it sound like the people who'd be trying this would just be 1 random dude who stumbled upon one or something. And on a global scale too? Even if you make the ultimate stretch of the imagination and literally everyone, from the beginning of time had the mindset of “damn I guess I’ll stay out of the ocean”. Why would they want to give that to your 10yo? Is humanity impossibly scared of them, or do they go out of their way to apprehend them and give no fucks? Which is it?
27:18 so a distinction I wanna point out is that Agron only beats up whatever tries to *hurt* the mountain. This implies that if you are picking up litter, hiking, or just existing passively on the mountain you are ok. This means that my;triple Agron probably live on one mountain since they have the same collective goal, defend that mountain from being destroyed
Worst thing about the "Electric Soldier Porygon" episode, and the punishment Porygon's received for it, is that the attack that caused the seizures was Pikachu's. _Its_ thunderbolt hit the missile that caused all those flashing lights.
Yes, but punishing Pikachu for it would look bad, since Pikachu is the mascot for the franchise. So Porygon had to take the blame for a crime it didn't commit.
Apparently when talking about the inconsistencies between Aerodactyl being said as the origin of birds, and later Archeops being said as it, the creators of pokemon basically admitted they don't really do work to make their universe consistent writing wise. Which makes for a wonderful mess when trying to analyze pokemon.
Considering how new fossils are constantly being found which changes whatever theory came before it's not that out of the question for people in the pokemon world equivalent of the 90's to think that Aerodactyle was the origin of bird type pokemon before fossils of the even older Archeops were found later on.
@Desert Rambler im p sure aerodactyl and zubat are related, the zubat line seem to be convergently evolved reptiles whilst swoobat seems to be a mammal
Tyrantrum pokedex entries state it may have had feathers in life and Mega Aerodactyl is suspected to be the true original form of the pokemon, pretty much confirming that the revived fossil pokemon is not necessarily identical to what it looked like when it originally lived. So studying cloned fossil pokemon could yield inaccurate information.

No giratina is not antimater, he is gravity. Cinthia saying it is antimater is the only peice of evidence of antimatter, and the fact that she can enter his realm and move about it safely disproves her own hypothesis. all other evidence points to gravity.
@@samhayes-astrion then mesuda screwed up with giratina’s lore so badly he clearly has zero idea what antimatter is. First off if giratina was antimatter he would only have come to existence after diagla and palkia created matter, but his own lore says they were made at the same time, gravity always existed in the universe it just doesn’t show itself without matter. Secondly the distortion world cant be made out of antimatter because every person or thing or even air molecule that enters it would immediately annihilate. Our characters, the spirit trio, and Cyrus can walk on the grounds there for that hypothesis is completely dead. Same is true for giratina the moment he enters the realm of matter. Thirdly the distortion world is said to effect the flow of time and space. Antimatter doesn’t do jack to the flow of space or time, gravity however effects both of them. Fourthly the distortion worlds gimmick is as if gravity itself was sentient and trying to get people lost.

I find it funny that one of the few war criminals that actually intends it and is tactical about it and isn’t just AOE/Really Territorial is the fucking teacup. The others are just “it’s territorial it attacks anything it sees” or “this Pokémon can use its elemental abilities to the degree it’s a war crime” but this teacup intends its crimes. It knows it looks like a teacup, and it knows it can use that to kill people, and so it does because it feeds on life force. It’s actually just an intended trap.

Hi! The reason all the Gen Seven dex entries for mega evolution are so violent is possibly due to the natures of the pokemon when the mega evolve (violent pokemon staying violent), but also because in Alola, the trainers mostly use z-moves. They see mega evolution as the same thing (a quick burst of power) so when some megas have to undergo the painful transformation quickly, they go bezerk. Hence the insane dex entries.

I've gotta read orichorio's myself now, cause the type of necromancy really matters, if it's just just traditional mindless husk that's a bit messed up but mostly harmless, if it's full reconnecting the spirit and body necromancy, bringing souls back out of the afterlife can be a bit morally iffy but usually that type of stuff has a consent clause where it only works if the spirit is willing to return, but knowing Pokemon it could be type 3, where the conscious being is reconnected with their body, but not completely, and they therefore have nearly no control over themself, which is severely messed up.

I think the mountain thing makes more sense than it seems. The Pokemon, after eating, still defecates, so it's not like the dirt is being destroyed, just rearranged. Also, I'll go out on a limb and say they probably don't need to eat a literal mountain. A mountain sized clump of dirt probably works fine. Same with destroying a mountain, because rubble and such still exist. Does that mean like 80 percent of land in the Pokemon universe is just feces? Probably. Would mountains still exist? Also probably. Edit: Doesn't apply to guzzlord.
It also seems like the entire planet in which pokemon reside has the same geography as Japan. So there are probably a lot more mountains than on earth.
I tend to believe that the reason pokemon who can nuke a mountain don't do it its cause multiple pokemon live there that can also each nuke a mountain. Im sure the pokemon world has some assured mutual destruction thing going on
most pokemon who can nuke mountais actually eat them, tyranitar eats soil and so he NEEDS to eat them and destroy them, machamp love to train and they live for it, they will challange strong pokemon so of course they train in the wild to fight something like tyranitar, of course these pokemon arent common much less in their fully evolved form so the pokemon world is dangerous but its not like common to find a pseudo legendary or fully evolved and trained machamp in the wild

So, what's your definition of "small" in terms of black hole? A black hole with the diameter of a penny is actually quite large. A black hole with the _mass_ of a penny, however, would blink out of existence immediately, and be entirely harmless. Context: 24:15
I'm considering it the size rather than mass, because with Gamefreaks logic I'm sure they just went; "Hey, so uh, what's a good black hole size to not destroy the entire planet?" "Fucking I dunno just say it's small, fuck subtlety amirite lmao" "...Got it captain"

First thing: this is probably one of the best pokemon videos I've ever watched, no joke. This is some quality shit. Secondly: About the afterlife, in the manga specifically, out of pokedex Archie and Maxie apparently went to the distortion world post dying of magic orb energy dissolving their bodies ánd end up sharing a soul for a bit until they get kicked out of the distortion world to help save the planet from the meteor thats headed to destroy earth. Which implies 3 things, 1 either the distortion world is the afterlife or 2 a form of limbo for people possessed by legendary magic and 3 giratina can control and bind souls to things. This little tangent is only minorly related to the video, but it makes the whole afterlife thing so much more complicated
Gigantamax Alcremie can launch a swarm of missiles, each loaded with, as the Pokédex says, 100,000 kilocalories. I’m not sure if that could be counted as indiscriminate attack, but I’m pretty sure that amount of kilocalories at once could give someone a heart attack, if not knock them out for a month.
given that kilocalories are a unit of energy, a simple conversion yeilds that 100,000 calories are roughly the equivalent of 100 kgs of tnt. FOR EACH SIBLGE MISSILE
The reason trapinch has the same base attack stat as flygon is because they're based off of the insect known as the Antlion, a bug known to have an OP larval stage that depending on species either does the thing trapinch does (with a side of flinging sand or dirt at whatever falls into the trap pit it makes) or *LIQUIDIFIES ITS PREY WITH VENOM FROM ITS HOLLOW PINCERS, DRINKS IT, AND THEN STACKS ITS CORPSE ON ITS BACK AS ARMOR* however it's adult phase is purely for breeding and can't actually fight/do anything impressive, leading me to believe that gamefreak did this because the other option would be to make a Pokémon that got worse as it evolved
I do think it’s important to ask: what if they can’t help it? Like, Kartana can’t control if it bumps into a building. That being said, it’s the lightest Pokémon, quite literally being as light as paper. One gust of wind, and an entire city falls.
I actually did some research on how many mountains are in the Pokemon world. Oddly enough there aren't too many, only like 60 something. So yea pretty reasonable amount
"It will burn the world with lasers" sounds like something a 9 year old came up with. Truly fantastic work Game Freak. Also great video, I was laughing my ass off for the whole hour.
There is a theory that, since you're sending children into the wild on a rutine basis, all the pokedex enteries are literally written by children. Makes you wonder what all the professors have been doing all this time.
@@zacharyyoungblood7013 Because their parents neglect them, possibly abuse them (Bianca, N, Lillie and Gladion, et cetera) and send them to survive on their own at age ten or eleven. Dark world we have on our hands. Dark shit would realistically be flowing through these ten-year-olds' minds a ton, lol
I haven’t even gotten past two minutes, but I gotta give credit where credit is due. The fact you read through over a thousand Pokédex entries to make an hour long video like this is insane. I appreciate the amount of effort put into this. Good stuff.
It's almost like these intelligent, self-aware creatures with the powers of gods and alien inclinations have the ability to do bad things with their god-like powers. I always found it weird that you can read a Pokedex entry that describes a dark, violent steak in a Pokemon only for the games and anime to show them as lovable little buddies that couldn't hurt a fly (unless ordered to by a big, bad human). Honestly, the manga can be pretty brutal at times, but it's more faithful to the world the Pokedex builds. I'd actually like a Pokemon game where Pokemon aren't a massive group of similar minds somewhere between human and animal that, at the utter worst, are an inconvenience to get to (minus to actual deific Pokemon). It would be much more interesting to see different Pokemon types to act differently, show rivalries, and be actual hazards. Instead, we get game after game and an eternal show that basically makes every Pokemon the same minus their looks, types, and moves.
i think the only kind of rivalry ever shown in game was with seviper and zangoose on pokemon hordes on x/y, where they'd rather murder each other before dealing with you
@@YORCHspartan117 There's also another duo like that in Sword and Shield. I forget which Pokemon I caught that said that, but it's been done a couple times
The mystery dungeon games _kind of_ touch on this? For the most part everyone is friendly, but it feels like a more realistic world of pokemon and sometimes it's implies that they _do_ eat/kill each other.
I always assumed the more insane stories like eating mountains, soul stealing, black holes, ecological disaster via simple actions etc. was just folklore or urban legends
i mean, Gardevoir's Ult in Unite seems to atleast imply that Gardevoir's black holes are/can be far more controlled than your typical black hole rather than...ya know...consuming the earth
Basically every nice looking ghost Pokémon’s Dex entries be like: “They steal people’s souls and suck out their *life-forces* and eat their parents and kill their villages and also kick puppies”

Okidogi: "Okidogi is a ruffian with a short temper." Depending on this "short temper" it could be indiscriminate attack like Primeape.
Fezandipiti: "scatters pheromones that captivate people and pokemon." Uh, depending on what exactly it does, could count as mind control and I think using pheromones counts as some chemical shit but I don't exactly know since I don't think people have tried using pheromones in war.
Gouging Fire: It "rampages and spouts pillars of flame". Yeah id say this could count as indiscriminate attack and also incendiary weaponry, especially since it's probably burning down the forests.
Raging Bolt: it "incinerates everything around it with lightning". Incendiary weaponry, yeah.
Iron Crown: There was "an incident in which it launched shining blades to cut everything around it to pieces." If this really means everything, then yeah, I'd say that's probably indiscriminate attack.

Fun fact: Unown, if enough have gathered, can casually warp reality. Making anything real.
When Arceus needs to create a new legendary pokemon, he doesn't just use his own power to do it. NOPE. He walks over to the unown and asks them for help. Which, okay cool, so arceus and the unown combine their powers and can make an entire universe. Right? NNnnnnope. The unown are proven to be able to make new worlds, and new legendaries, all on their own without any help from Arceus, they've been doing so for centuries while Arceus was in seclusion. The unown will do this at the behest of some random 5 year old who wants her dead mother back. There is an episode where Ash goes dimension hopping around the Johto region to try and get a lost unown back to it's home dimension.

I’m actually convinced that the Pokedex entry is biased.
Think about who’s most likely helping to write this entry: Professor Oak, a leading researcher on Pokémon in Kanto. Either he would have been involved in “Project Cain” (which I’m calling it now because my childhood edgelord demands a cool name) and want nothing to do with it anymore, OR he would have been against it from the beginning.

In defense of those Pokémon that deny the afterlife by make you a wandering spirit, Pokémon like Dusknoir and Pumpkaboo exist to help wandering spirits move on, so whoever runs the PokéAfterlife clearly has this system thought out.

Oh, the anime actually shows us what happens when a Mismagius eats your soul and traps you as food inside of it's gemstone. Happens to ash twice actually, though in the first instance he actually just walked into the afterlife by stumbling across a portal to the land of the dead. Turns out the Mismagius gets to control everything you see, hear, and feel, and can create an entire environment filled with NPCs for your disembodied soul to interact with. Friendly ones use it to convince you to just stay eaten by giving you an ideal world to live out your most cherished fantasies. Ones that hate you devour your soul and present you with your own personal hell. Forever.
When team rocket got eaten, Mismagius had them experience blasting off over and over and over, getting blown right back into the sky the moment they land.

How many times has Ash "died" again
I remember that one indigo league episode where he chilled with some ghost types.
@@JediSteve-J3- By my count he has died a grand total of 8 times (depending on exactly how you count it, his very first episode meeting Ho-oh was probably a death, given Ho-oh is said to use "Sacred Ash" to revive the dead. And Ash woke up to see ho-oh flying overhead with golden sparkles) and he has stumbled across no more than 4 direct sources of immortality. By the way, Liches exist in this universe, and Ash found a phylactery.
Ironically, it wasn’t Porygon who gave the kids seizures in that one episode of the anime, but rather, it was the yellow rat man himself, Pikachu!
What a rat
I knew that little black and yellow basterd was evil
Apparently only 120 of the 12000 reported were from the day the episode aired. The vast majority reported illness 3 days after. Most likely from young children hearing about it and convinced themselves they were also affected. 120 children admitted to a hospital is still horrible but not nearly as bad as the originally believed 12000
@@rileykopinski6026 yeah anlso it was good that most of the kids who were actually directly affected only had headaches and puke instead of having a full body seizure and doing the toungle choking thing.
I think the pokemon afterlife was based on eastern concepts of the afterlife. It goes something like this:
-People have souls, souls stay around after death
-Souls can be destroyed
-Souls tend to stay in the human world for a while before they move on to the afterlife
-Some souls can't move on and become ghosts.
-Other souls return to the cycle of reincarnation to be born again
And others can become immortalized as munchies for sandcastle gods
Maybe at first but at this point I think it is more "that sounds cool" then anything else.

"Seperate your soul from your body"
How do fantasy writers not realize that's just a fancy way of saying "killing a person", like, i get its supposed to be this spooky 'touch of death' thing, but i'm pretty sure if a normal horse kicked you hard enough your soul would leave your body too
I mean ya got a point but in the terms of fantasy it could imply that 'something else' could enter your soulless body, it would be terrifying if a Yamask or Hisuian Zoroark (Only mentioning the new Zoroark just because of its ghost typing and my liking of Zoroark) convinced a Spectrier to kick someone's soul out of their body only to enter and inhabit it.
I'd also imagine that other ghost pokemon would want to eat or capture your soul and such. At least your soul can hopefully reenter your body.
It's the silly consequences of keeping things kid friendly. You can't kill a person and trap thier spirit in hell, but you can "remove their souls and trap it in the shadow realm."
You can't have cartoons shoot guns, but lasers are fair game. Can't have characters use weapons on people, but they can brandish them and use them as tools. Spiderman can't punch people so he drop kicks with hilarious regularity.
At this point its practically a staple of children's media and localization.
I mean to be fair in the Pokemon universe your soul being separated from your body doesn't seem to actually kill you. In the anime, Ash and Pikachu's souls were taken out of their bodies by a Haunter and they were fine. Even though a whole chandelier fell on them.
LOOOOL
Something about your horse analogy got me thinking.
If a horse kicking technically makes your soul leave your body. What an animal or being had the ability to do the opposite. It can now trap your soul in your body. So it can never leave. Your soul is trapped, you have no ability to use your now limp decaying body and until it is fully decayed you're fully conscious and away how trapped you are. I'm just gonna avoid horses for a bit and try to go back to sleep.
Calling something that can destroy the universe a “war criminal” is the equivalent of calling Hitler a “not very good person”.
can one even judge a being that powerful? Like, if you literally control time and space, the words "war" and "criminal" have no meaning
To be fair...
Just because they _CAN_ destroy the universe doesn't mean that they _WOULD_ destroy the universe. They could be completely harmless individuals who have complete control over themselves and their powers and only go around doing good deeds or whatever.
I could go and find a defenseless animal somewhere and ruthlessly kill it or set a forest/someone's house on fire somewhere. I have that ability and could do that at any time.
But would I ever do something like that?
Hell no!
So even saying that someone is a war criminal just because they have the ability to destroy the universe is a bit...harsh.
Obviously they have the very real possibility of becoming a war criminal (and... arguably much worse...) but at the same time they might not even _WANT_ to destroy the universe (and can control themselves in a way that that's never even an issue) so it would be the equivalent of arresting someone just because they have the capability of committing murder in a very specific circumstance despite never even showing any signs of wanting to so much as threaten someone.
Well. You're not wrong.
Also, there might not technically be a war involved

The reason pokemon listen is cause they understand that bonds with trainers can make them stronger but that's only if they see that a trainer is worthy of training them.

UA-cam shorts video incoming? xD
I love its versatility but I never understood why so many Pokémon could learn it, what’s the lore/ logic behind it?
@John Paul Cross check out lockstin and gnoggin on the topic of toxic
Most pokemon being able to learn Toxic makes sense. The subtext is that the pokemon is throwing/squirting its feces on the opponent. Feces = poison has long been a trope in media, from Digimon to Dark Souls, and in real life some armies have smeared feces on their weapons or traps to cause enemies to slow die (which sounds exactly like the move Toxic)
Maybe the reason no one hunts afterlife-denying pokemon is because they’re too scared of them. If someone told me jellyfish could destroy my soul forever I’d probably just be like “damn I guess I’ll stay out of the ocean”
That would be reason enough for me to not go anywhere near it.
There is plenty of people IRL who go to war with zero belief in an afterlife. It's not a stretch that there would be brave souls in pokemon too.
Swimmer Trainers go brrr
As if there isn’t already enough information to make you go “Damn, I guess I’ll stay out of the ocean.”
I agree with the premise, but I feel like this particular argument is just too egregious.
History has shown time and time and time again that there'll be who fight because they fear it. Fear doesn't lead to just flight. Not everyone goes “damn I guess I’ll stay out of the ocean”, or we would've made far less species extinct. You make it sound like the people who'd be trying this would just be 1 random dude who stumbled upon one or something. And on a global scale too?
Even if you make the ultimate stretch of the imagination and literally everyone, from the beginning of time had the mindset of “damn I guess I’ll stay out of the ocean”. Why would they want to give that to your 10yo?
Is humanity impossibly scared of them, or do they go out of their way to apprehend them and give no fucks? Which is it?
27:18 so a distinction I wanna point out is that Agron only beats up whatever tries to *hurt* the mountain.

Apparently when talking about the inconsistencies between Aerodactyl being said as the origin of birds, and later Archeops being said as it, the creators of pokemon basically admitted they don't really do work to make their universe consistent writing wise.
Which makes for a wonderful mess when trying to analyze pokemon.
Considering how new fossils are constantly being found which changes whatever theory came before it's not that out of the question for people in the pokemon world equivalent of the 90's to think that Aerodactyle was the origin of bird type pokemon before fossils of the even older Archeops were found later on.
@Desert Rambler im p sure aerodactyl and zubat are related, the zubat line seem to be convergently evolved reptiles whilst swoobat seems to be a mammal
Tyrantrum pokedex entries state it may have had feathers in life and Mega Aerodactyl is suspected to be the true original form of the pokemon, pretty much confirming that the revived fossil pokemon is not necessarily identical to what it looked like when it originally lived. So studying cloned fossil pokemon could yield inaccurate information.

Like. Nice job. You get an A in Fiziks, Arceus.
No giratina is not antimater, he is gravity. Cinthia saying it is antimater is the only peice of evidence of antimatter, and the fact that she can enter his realm and move about it safely disproves her own hypothesis. all other evidence points to gravity.
@@mlpfanboy1701 Didn't Masuda say it was based on antimatter too?
@@samhayes-astrion then mesuda screwed up with giratina’s lore so badly he clearly has zero idea what antimatter is.
First off if giratina was antimatter he would only have come to existence after diagla and palkia created matter, but his own lore says they were made at the same time, gravity always existed in the universe it just doesn’t show itself without matter.
Secondly the distortion world cant be made out of antimatter because every person or thing or even air molecule that enters it would immediately annihilate. Our characters, the spirit trio, and Cyrus can walk on the grounds there for that hypothesis is completely dead. Same is true for giratina the moment he enters the realm of matter.
Thirdly the distortion world is said to effect the flow of time and space. Antimatter doesn’t do jack to the flow of space or time, gravity however effects both of them.
Fourthly the distortion worlds gimmick is as if gravity itself was sentient and trying to get people lost.

I find it funny that one of the few war criminals that actually intends it and is tactical about it and isn’t just AOE/Really Territorial is the fucking teacup.

It knows it looks like a teacup, and it knows it can use that to kill people, and so it does because it feeds on life force. It’s actually just an intended trap.

Hi! The reason all the Gen Seven dex entries for mega evolution are so violent is possibly due to the natures of the pokemon when the mega evolve (violent pokemon staying violent), but also because in Alola, the trainers mostly use z-moves. They see mega evolution as the same thing (a quick burst of power) so when some megas have to undergo the painful transformation quickly, they go bezerk. Hence the insane dex entries.
"Wurmple ain't gonna cut it"

Even though that explanation is literal bull because no one writes in the pokedex to begin with.

the protagonist writes the pokedex, based on:
what information the pokedex ACTUALLY CAN generate from a simple scan
any rumours they've heard

any random bull they come up with
and in alola any random bull rotom suggests
the reason it's the same each time is because each playthrough technically has the same protagonist, just a different name/pokemon team/gender
BUT different regions have different myths, knowledge and protagonists
and the reason it seems to be written so quickly is because, well, why would we need to go through the actual writing itself, it's easier to just generate it

I think the mountain thing makes more sense than it seems. The Pokemon, after eating, still defecates, so it's not like the dirt is being destroyed, just rearranged. Also, I'll go out on a limb and say they probably don't need to eat a literal mountain. A mountain sized clump of dirt probably works fine.
Same with destroying a mountain, because rubble and such still exist.
Does that mean like 80 percent of land in the Pokemon universe is just feces? Probably. Would mountains still exist? Also probably.
Edit: Doesn't apply to guzzlord.
It also seems like the entire planet in which pokemon reside has the same geography as Japan.
So there are probably a lot more mountains than on earth.
And decreased Pokémon populations
To be fair, maybe the Pokédex is making a mountain out of a molehill.
I'll just be leaving... right, where's that door...?
I tend to believe that the reason pokemon who can nuke a mountain don't do it its cause multiple pokemon live there that can also each nuke a mountain. Im sure the pokemon world has some assured mutual destruction thing going on
most pokemon who can nuke mountais actually eat them, tyranitar eats soil and so he NEEDS to eat them and destroy them, machamp love to train and they live for it, they will challange strong pokemon so of course they train in the wild to fight something like tyranitar, of course these pokemon arent common much less in their fully evolved form so the pokemon world is dangerous but its not like common to find a pseudo legendary or fully evolved and trained machamp in the wild

Which implies 3 things, 1 either the distortion world is the afterlife or 2 a form of limbo for people possessed by legendary magic and 3 giratina can control and bind souls to things.

It's almost like these intelligent, self-aware creatures with the powers of gods and alien inclinations have the ability to do bad things with their god-like powers. I always found it weird that you can read a Pokedex entry that describes a dark, violent steak in a Pokemon only for the games and anime to show them as lovable little buddies that couldn't hurt a fly (unless ordered to by a big, bad human).
Honestly, the manga can be pretty brutal at times, but it's more faithful to the world the Pokedex builds. I'd actually like a Pokemon game where Pokemon aren't a massive group of similar minds somewhere between human and animal that, at the utter worst, are an inconvenience to get to (minus to actual deific Pokemon). It would be much more interesting to see different Pokemon types to act differently, show rivalries, and be actual hazards. Instead, we get game after game and an eternal show that basically makes every Pokemon the same minus their looks, types, and moves.
i think the only kind of rivalry ever shown in game was with seviper and zangoose on pokemon hordes on x/y, where they'd rather murder each other before dealing with you
@@YORCHspartan117 There's also another duo like that in Sword and Shield. I forget which Pokemon I caught that said that, but it's been done a couple times
