yeah but whenever I hear people praise GSC or HGSS it's never "Johto is awesome". It's more like "You can go to Kanto again". If GSC only had Johto in the state it was in, it would not be praised nearly as much. Johto is the weakest most boring region imo
Hoothoot has had two feet since Gold. To quote its Pokedex entry: "It always stands on one foot. It changes feet so fast, the movement can rarely be seen."
I used to think that Fearow evolved into Ho-oh when I was like, 8. My friend and I would always compete for who could get it to evolve first, and I remember showing him my exp going up and he'd just cry. I leveled a Fearow up to level 100 in Diamond without it ever evolving.
For anyone who ever wondered about hoothoots legs, when birds are very happy they fluff up and stand on one leg an typically go to sleep. Hoothoot hits all of these, being an owl he sleeps during the day, he and noctowl seem very fluffy and fat, while hoothoot seems to be a happy little sassy owl that evolves into one angry bird. Still waiting on my budgie pokemon. Not chatot the parrot pokemon. A literal budgie. Maybe an electric flying parakeet to go with the lemon lime colors of a budgie.
I'd like to point out that the 600 base stat total isn't the only qualifier for a Pseudo-Legendary. There are actually 3 of them. 1) the 600 base stat total 2) they're part of the Slow level-up system (1 & 1/8th million exp to level 100) 3) having a 3-stage evolutionary line. Bonus fun fact: in Japan, they're called the 600 Club because of their base stats. Makes it sound a bit more exclusive than Pseudo-Legendary.
@@inkedseahear Hence why there are *3* qualifiers for it, not just the base stats. They're named for it in japan, but that's not all that gets a mon into the club.
some day there’s going to be a non-legendary Pokémon with 1,250,000 exp, 3 stage evolutionary line, but has more than 600 base stat total. Not sure if it’s already happened, though.
With hoothoot, I always believed that it’s showing leg was just two legs standing together, the art style being the main reason that a middle line was missing.
I mean, I'm pretty sure the pokedex tells you that it has two legs, it just likes to Stand on one leg at a time and moves them so fast when it hops onto the other one it's unseeable to humans.
@ Yanma and Piloswine all evolve into prehistoric-like Pokémon (Yanmega being based on a Meganeura) and prehistoric Pokémon tend to be associated with rock type.
Danny DeVito was considered for the role of Detective Pikachu, among other actors, including the Rock and Hugh Jackman and others, but they ultimately chose Ryan Reynolds, which imo is a fantastic choice.

still, he's referring to its use in English and the fact that it's only in the word 'Pokémon' so people know how to pronounce it, given that outside of Japan it's not that obvious that it's a short form of "pocket monsters" because English doesn't really do that and the international media never references the phrase "pocket monsters" but yeah.
Honestly, it's not too far-fetched to believe that. In DPPt when you encounter Rotom in the Old Chateau, its battle uses the legendary encounter theme, and you can only encounter one of it in the game.

@@stormaurora189 yeah I had the guidebook that listed Rotom as a legendary.

Wish this had explained more WHY grouping generations like this matters. Like explaining that games within a generation share rules, combat mechanics and changes like movesets, physical/special split, tweaks to items/abilities/moves, how stats are determined, etc. battling in hgss is a lot closer to how it works dppt than in gsc.

A big misconception in Pokémon that I feel is worth mentioning: Evolution is not equivalent to aging. The proof comes from the anime, which featured a Treecko elder in an episode of the Gen 3 anime. The misconception may have entirely been caused by baby Pokémon, which, in theory, grow up into their next stage of evolution (represented by the friendship stat, I suppose).
I always see the baby Pokémon as being sterile due to genetic mishaps, like mules (I think). And thank you for addressing this. It is so hard to not view it as aging, especially when starters' middle evolutions always look like awkard teenagers (perfect example: Dartrix). But I also think about that Treecko scene.
Even though it evolves by trading (with a Metal Coat, though the anime defies game mechanics, such as Exeggcute evolving without a Leaf Stone), Tracey's Scyther is also pretty old
Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon doesnt really help this case out either, seeing as you're called 'school-aged', you and your classmates are all first evolutions, and the beginning of "the talk" with Ms Audino....
"The video games, manga, and anime are all different stories. Each is canon only to it's own plot. Since the video game came first however, we can assume the video game is considered canon unless you are speaking directly about the anime or manga, in which case that universe takes precedence." - Quote taken from the wiki. The anime rarely lines up with any other form of pokemon media so you can't qualify something as fact in the video games just because you saw it in the show.
Julian Adams - It's actually above most legendary Pokemon, tying with Regigigas, Groudon, and Kyogre. The legendary Pokemon that surpass it are those found on the covers of games, along with Mewtwo, with the only mythical to surpass it being Arceus. This is, of course, said without including the various ways certain Pokemon can enter a powered up form (such as with Mega-Evolution).
also i heard u need to be a the final form of a 3 stage evolution to be a legendary so thats another point why pkmn like volcarona and lucario arnet pseudo legendary
Michau Need Healing LITERALLY isn't even relevant with what is being stated. Edit: Hell it's a well known rule that doesn't even need to exist, seeing as there isn't a single Pokemon with a 600 base stat total that isn't a 3 stage evolutionary line, a legendary Pokemon, or a mythical Pokemon.
Gen 1 was full of Early Installment Weirdness like that, especially in regards to whether the Pokémon world was the same as the real world or not. It wasn't until Gen 4 that Pokémon had fully sorted out its worldbuilding and was, without a shadow of a doubt, set in its own unique world.
No it isn´t, stop lying. Just compare both maps. Kanto in Pokemon is more square shaped than the actual map. Also it didn´t have a name in the first Gen. Japanese fans called it the Kanto-Region because Johto was a new one.
I can't believe didn't know that, even if you haven't seen the anime or pokedex I'm pretty sure in one of the console games (stadium, colosseum etc) it's idle animation it switching it's legs every second or so

Saw a Gen 1 games review video and some people were upset that the Let's go games weren't talked about lol. Had to explain this concept and they think just because it's a remake of a Gen 1 game it should count as Gen 1, but that ain't how it works.
Ofc that's how it works. Resident Evil 4 originally came out on the 6th generation of consoles, so the 2023 Remake, despite coming out in the 9th generation, is obviously still a 6th-gen game duh.@@BayAreaDawg415

I’m honestly suprised that they didn’t doubled down in tangla’s Medusa’s origins by making tangrowth have more “snake-like” aspects, instead we got “Vine Gorilla” (not bad, but suprised they didn’t spell it out for us)
Is there anything aside from someone writing on some wiki it might be based on Medusa an indication that it actually *is* based on Medusa? Especially in the original japanese, nothing really hints towards it and it just generally seems to be the concept of a mystery being covered in thick, unkempt vines, and Tangrowth is just that as a caveman or something. Feel like if Tangela truly was based on Medusa, it would have learned glare (snake glare in japanese) eons ago as a nod, none of the pokédex entries or anime appearances talk about that, anything. Seems like someone just thought "oh, the vines kinda look like Medusa's snake hair" and ran with it.
@@cherrybansx7398 Your reasoning makes little sense. "It wouldn't be called a raccoon dog if it wasn't a raccoon" is the same as saying "It wouldn't be called a raccoon dog if it wasn't a dog".

I used to think that Water was strong against Steel, this misconception of mine comes from the fact that I forgot Steelix was part Ground type, and I always used super-effective Water type moves against it.
Japanese pronounce the E sound similar to that of the accented E used in the word Pokémon, which is why it is pronounced that way. Just thought I'd clear that up
The patterns on Cradily's head are likely intentionally designed too look like eyes, similarly to things such as Arbok's neck pattern or Scizor's claw pattern. Animals in the real world such as some caterpillars do this as well, I like that design aspects like that were added
The biggest one is that Snivys finally evolution actually has arms. In the musical thing in gen 5, only Pokemon who have hands can hold props and use them durring the performance. Snivys final evolution can hold said props with the leaves on its back

1) The Squirtle and Rhyhorn have different names. On top of that, calling the Squirtle a Charmander when it uses freakin' thunderbolt! Which is impossible for Squirtle to learn.
2) The Squirtle had no gender.
3) They are legit fighting on water when you can't wven find a Rhyhorn on the water.

Wish this had explained more WHY grouping generations like this matters.

A big misconception in Pokémon that I feel is worth mentioning: Evolution is not equivalent to aging. The proof comes from the anime, which featured a Treecko elder in an episode of the Gen 3 anime. The misconception may have entirely been caused by baby Pokémon, which, in theory, grow up into their next stage of evolution (represented by the friendship stat, I suppose).
I always see the baby Pokémon as being sterile due to genetic mishaps, like mules (I think).
And thank you for addressing this. It is so hard to not view it as aging, especially when starters' middle evolutions always look like awkard teenagers (perfect example: Dartrix). But I also think about that Treecko scene.
Even though it evolves by trading (with a Metal Coat, though the anime defies game mechanics, such as Exeggcute evolving without a Leaf Stone), Tracey's Scyther is also pretty old
Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon doesnt really help this case out either, seeing as you're called 'school-aged', you and your classmates are all first evolutions, and the beginning of "the talk" with Ms Audino....
"The video games, manga, and anime are all different stories. Each is canon only to it's own plot. Since the video game came first however, we can assume the video game is considered canon unless you are speaking directly about the anime or manga, in which case that universe takes precedence." -
Quote taken from the wiki. The anime rarely lines up with any other form of pokemon media so you can't qualify something as fact in the video games just because you saw it in the show.
Didn't the anime also have a baby Nidoqueen in one episode, btw?
Slaking: isn't allowed to join the "Pseudo-Legendary" party because it has a 670 base stat total.
Trainer Shade Isn’t that actual legendary level?
Julian Adams - It's actually above most legendary Pokemon, tying with Regigigas, Groudon, and Kyogre. The legendary Pokemon that surpass it are those found on the covers of games, along with Mewtwo, with the only mythical to surpass it being Arceus. This is, of course, said without including the various ways certain Pokemon can enter a powered up form (such as with Mega-Evolution).
also i heard u need to be a the final form of a 3 stage evolution to be a legendary so thats another point why pkmn like volcarona and lucario arnet pseudo legendary
Michau Need Healing
LITERALLY isn't even relevant with what is being stated.
Edit: Hell it's a well known rule that doesn't even need to exist, seeing as there isn't a single Pokemon with a 600 base stat total that isn't a 3 stage evolutionary line, a legendary Pokemon, or a mythical Pokemon.

Is your pfp a jojo reference?!
Gen 1 was full of Early Installment Weirdness like that, especially in regards to whether the Pokémon world was the same as the real world or not. It wasn't until Gen 4 that Pokémon had fully sorted out its worldbuilding and was, without a shadow of a doubt, set in its own unique world.
No it isn´t, stop lying.
Just compare both maps. Kanto in Pokemon is more square shaped than the actual map. Also it didn´t have a name in the first Gen. Japanese fans called it the Kanto-Region because Johto was a new one.

Ofc that's how it works. Resident Evil 4 originally came out on the 6th generation of consoles, so the 2023 Remake, despite coming out in the 9th generation, is obviously still a 6th-gen game duh.@@BayAreaDawg415

I’m honestly suprised that they didn’t doubled down in tangla’s Medusa’s origins by making tangrowth have more “snake-like” aspects, instead we got “Vine Gorilla” (not bad, but suprised they didn’t spell it out for us)
Is there anything aside from someone writing on some wiki it might be based on Medusa an indication that it actually *is* based on Medusa? Especially in the original japanese, nothing really hints towards it and it just generally seems to be the concept of a mystery being covered in thick, unkempt vines, and Tangrowth is just that as a caveman or something.
Feel like if Tangela truly was based on Medusa, it would have learned glare (snake glare in japanese) eons ago as a nod, none of the pokédex entries or anime appearances talk about that, anything. Seems like someone just thought "oh, the vines kinda look like Medusa's snake hair" and ran with it.

Another misconception is that generation is an actually thing. Its actually fan made concept and thats confirmed by mr Masuda himself
they do match up the pokemon "generations" with Nintendo handhelds though.
they only visit a new region with multiple new pokemon once for every handheld.(gb,gbc,gba,nds,dsi,3ds,n3ds,sw)
and they only do remakes once for every handheld generation(gb,gba,nds,3ds,sw)
Generations as a concept are pretty nebulous to with begin unless they are in reference to family members.

I personally think that steel should be weak to water and electric because of rust and that various metals are good conductors of electricity.
Japanese pronounce the E sound similar to that of the accented E used in the word Pokémon, which is why it is pronounced that way.
Just thought I'd clear that up
4:57 Oh my god... this changes EVERYTHING!
The patterns on Cradily's head are likely intentionally designed too look like eyes, similarly to things such as Arbok's neck pattern or Scizor's claw pattern. Animals in the real world such as some caterpillars do this as well, I like that design aspects like that were added
