      @prithviprakash1110 8 років тому +1

      Frank, when you think about it, almost all the sprites are nearly the same size.

    • @WobblyBits_X
      @WobblyBits_X 8 років тому +8

      True...
      Magikarp is 0.9m tall and weighs 10kg.
      Gyarados is 6.5m tall and weighs 235kg.
      There's no way Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, that would make no sense.

    • @prithviprakash1110
      @prithviprakash1110 8 років тому +1

      +WobblyBits_X, we're talking about a direct comparison of sizes here, not evolution. Evolution is known to drastically alter the physical characteristics of Pokemon, such as Metapod to Butterfry, Dragonair to Dragonite, Charmeleon to Charizard, and so on.
      However, in the video he quotes a size comparison directly between Ho-oh and Fearrow.

    • @migmigeviota2109
      @migmigeviota2109 3 місяці тому +1

      For Me. In my opinion, Ho Oh is the God Of Pokemon. Notice how Pokemons change their Emotions when he is around or just passing by. Anger turns to calm and Joy. Remember when ash was attacked by a flock of Spearow and almost died. When Ho oh was passing by ash got resurrected and the Spearow stopped attacking. Another scenario, remember when the pokemons were controlled (angered) when Ho Oh passed, They regained their selves back. And Arceus was the opposite, Pokemon fears him when he is in the area

  • @darkruler388

    "Ho-oh revives pokemon and makes them something more"
    Did you know there's a theory that Entei, Raikou and Suicune were Flareon, Jolteon and Vaporeon before they died? Go look it up.

  • @Klubyeezy
    @Klubyeezy 8 років тому +35

    My theory is that Ho oh was the king of the sparrows in episode one when pikachu fucked up all those sparrows. He's the evolved version of fearow and came out if the tree to revive it's sparrows. Or all the sparrows souls combined together into a Ho oh.

    • @LittlePinkMew
      @LittlePinkMew 7 років тому

      SlazerFis the problem with this theory is that Ho-Oh pre-existed prior to Ash seeing it. The revival of the three ancient dogs was exactly that, ancient. If this were abnormal occurrence for all Spearow/Fearow then there would be craploads of Ho-Oh.

  • @holynovaentertainment5007
    @holynovaentertainment5007 8 років тому +53

    2:43 to 2:56 Maybe that's why the Pokemon anime Season 1 through Season 2, always likes to pair Ash with Ho-Oh (Other than Ash seeing it fly through the skies). It's probably their way of saying Ho-Oh was meant to be the penultimate Gen 1 legendary (Other than Mewtwo) until all other iterations came to the surface.
    If you think about it, Gen 1's main theme was based around "birth" with Mew(Embryo) and Mewtwo(Test tube Embryo).
    Ho-Oh is a phoenix and we all know phoenix's die and get "reborn" from their ashes (Is it a coincidence that the Pokemon anime's protagonist is named "Ash"?).
    What are your thoughts on this Proto?

    • @TinchoX
      @TinchoX 8 років тому +4

      +HolyNova Lucario™ (オーラ神) Remember that "Originally" the name is not Ash, but "Satoshi" (The real japanese name of Ash), I think they went with "Ash" because of the whole phoenix thing with Ho-oh and because it's a sticky name for English audiences.

    • @azureavilis6190
      @azureavilis6190 8 років тому

      +battledragon 360 one theory could be that rather than being necessary objects, they only magnify the friendship level (or whatever is required) to a high enough point to obtain mega evolution when it comes to a captured pokemon, though it may be possible that the trainer and pokemon manage to reach the required compatability without the assistance of the stones and what not, in the case of any wild pokemon mega evolving it could be due to a strong enough will to become stronger

  • @kuraraShotai9
    @kuraraShotai9 8 років тому +15

    now that I think about it, Fearow sounds like pharaoh who are supposed to be the descendants of Ra the Sun god of ancient Egypt and Ho-oh can translate to fire king.
    phoenix=fire deity/king of fire, ra=sun deity/king of the sun which is a ball of fire, Ho-oh and Fearow link confirmed

      omg I'm so glad that I found you. I don't know if you intended this comment to be a joke or not, but I thought this through awhile back, and I am actually convinced that Ho-oh is Ash's father! For so long I have been the only person I know of who's had this idea, but then I came across your comment! Here's my evidence:
      -Since the beginning, Ho-oh has repeatedly appeared before Ash. Most people don't even see him once.
      -In mythology, the famous demigods have a lot of legends associated with them. The same can be applied to Ash, with as many people as he's helped, and as many times as he's saved the world. Think about it; he does kinda seem like somebody out of legend.
      -It explains his age: if he has legendary pokemon DNA in him, then maybe he could age slower.
      -He has greater bonds with his pokemon than anyone else in the anime. Also, legendary pokemon are always drawn to Ash. They trust him. Even if the movies aren't canon, that doesn't change the fact that legendaries are drawn to him. This all makes sense if he's part legendary.
      -According to the pokédex, Ho-oh brings happiness to everyone who sees him. Ash brings happiness to people he meets in EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. A trait passed from father to son, perhaps?
      -Ho-oh has always been shrouded in mystery. He's never even been in a movie. Despite being important in the Gold and Heart Gold games, he has not been very prevalent in the anime. Little is known about him. But, Ash has seen him 3 times, the first time being in the very first episode of the anime. The writers would not have done this if it wasn't to set something up.

Then rainbow parrot ran into this god, who gave rainbow parrot a branch that was on fire, and rainbow parrot brought it back, and everyone was warm for the winter.
    Ho-Oh, being the rainbow Pokemon, and a fire type, this makes sense for ho-oh to be based off of rainbow parrot.

  • @heemtoowavy15
    @heemtoowavy15 8 років тому +41

    I think I solved it,
    since ho-oh is a phoenix and it is restoring fallen Pokemon and blessing them with power,
    the only thing that is more powerful and is able to give THAT much power to another Pokemon, it has to be magikarp.

    Gotta say, this theory makes the Fearow line much more badass. I ALWAYS preferred Pidgeot over Fearow, mostly out of pure badassery/appearance but partially in the better moveset and stat distribution for my team. But if you consider Fearow as a Ho-Oh that hasn't eaten enough fire stones to begin shitting out rainbows yet, it's actually pretty cool.

    @OneJumpFromEden 8 років тому +5

    OR.
    or.
    Fearow is based on soaring, predatory birds (which spend a lot of time flying) and ho-oh is marketed as a Pokemon that perches only once in a blue moon (meaning it spends a lot of time flying) Satoshi Tajiri is no dumb-dumb, he knows that there are rules to the physiology of animals based on what they spend most of their time doing, and creatures that spend a lot of time flying are naturally going to have conveniently similar body structures.
    I don't really care about whether or not ho-oh or fearow had any relation in pre-production, but your argument for why they might be related feels incredibly scattered and under-researched.

    ...and shiny Fearow look almost same as Ho-Oh which Ash saw in episode one. I think Pokemon had a more, more deep story in the beginning. Idk why but something happend and their decided to change storyline. Maybe cuz of marketing? Maybe they doesn't want to let Ash grow up to have some bigger bond with Ho-Oh and let them go their way in the future. I'm always sad when i think how Ash would be awsome if they would let him grow up and maybe catch a legend like Ho~Oh. I always imagine scene like some new protagonist is in big trouble and then badass Ash is coming through with some badass music and chew all bad guys. Sadly, it will not ever happen. Ash as character lost it potential a long time ago. He's stupid, he is losing his skills all the time when he should be a legendary trainer right now.

    The basis of Ho-oh pheonix theme is not that it dies and is reborn itself. But Ashes journey dies and gets reborn into a new generation since he sees Ho-oh at the start of each new region.
    In the pokedex entries:
    It will reveal itself before a pure-hearted Trainer by shining its bright, rainbow-colored wings.
    Its feathers are in seven colors. It is said that anyone seeing it is promised eternal happiness.
    And thus Ash always goes on what he dreams to do, meeting new pokemon and tryharding the league to fail in the end, so he can keep traveling to new places :P

    @Proto Mario you are sort of right. The 1999 blue/red version were launched after a very questionable decision. There was going to be an extra pokemon (aside from mew and mewtwo) it supposed to be a God Pokemon but game freak people thought it would be too soon for it. So they took it down, but they couldn't delete the whole data since this would have delay the release for longer and that was no in their options. So, instead they created a glitch, the pokemon would still appear (sort of) just with no appeareance and with the name of MissingNo. Your ho oh was deleted. MissingNo grants you happiness in the game it multiples your six item to infinitive amounts. Your rare candy should be one of those item along with the master ball. That pokemon is there but it isn't as well. Because is a missing number
