    CORRECTION: Falinks is 100% Greek not Roman. The Phalanx is a Greek formation and they are wearing Spartan helmets. (Embarrassing considering I took a Greek & Rome class, watched "300" and correctly stated a similar fact in a previous video.)

      @animorph17 3 роки тому

      Want to know how extreme this went? In america's witchhunting days the procedure for restraining a "Witch" was to strip them naked and completely shave all hair off their body, under the fear that a 14 year old girl might be able to sling curses from her pubes or her armpit hair. Feminists suspect that it was secretly just a ruse for the church to be able to strip girls naked without getting called out for it.

    • @JacobPDeIiNoNi
      @JacobPDeIiNoNi 3 роки тому +26

      Although frogs are the intentional and primary design element, I think another more obscure origin is the dicynodonts. They are ancient creatures which look somewhat similar to the bulbasaur line, and some also have names ending in “Saurus”. They certainly take a lot of inspiration from frogs/toads though.

    I’d also like to add something to Sir Fetchd that I believe to be true. The concept of “fight or flight”. Far Fetch’d is typically normal flying. Sirfetch’d is fighting. Pokémon evolve due to circumstances in their environments. Farfetch’d in certain regions may not have as many natural predators in the areas they reside or maybe have more access to food and their populations are larger so they don’t become prey as often. However, it clear that in the newest region they need to be able to defend themselves so they evolve into a fighter. Which references the “fight or flight” way of surviving.

    Actually speaking, Hydreigon seems more based on the Hydra. The Hydra actually had 9 heads, the exact amount that’s in Hydreigon. There seems to be 3 heads in the day because the Hydra is often portrayed with 3 heads instead of 9. In fact, the fact it seems to have more heads at night might be based on the head multiplication property of the Hydra.

    At 5:20, only iron or alloys that contain iron can rust, the green stuff is called copper oxide.
    At 8:27 but its species/category is tiny raccoon pokémon!

      In Japan it's called the "Tiny Raccoon dog Pokemon." I'm assuming they changed it in the west, where nobody knows what a raccoon dog is. (Tanuki)

    6:47 I think the phalanx idea of Falinks seems to be a misunderstanding brought about by the English translation name being, not wrong, but overly specific.
    It bugged me that Falinks (my favorite Gen 8 Pokemon) is actually a poor interpretation of a phalanx, given it doesn't cover its front, its biggest weakness, at all. A phalanx is supposed to have its members next to each other with overlapping defense, not behind each other. Note that it doesn't even get Wide Guard (yet).
    Consider its Pokedex entries. One of them puts emphasis on the part about one of them being a higher rank, while the other states that they can assume a variety of formations (not that they do in the games...) Several of the other name translations that don't copy the English name also reference formations, generally.
    But someone pointed out its Japanese name ("tairetsu", meaning both 'rank' and 'formation'). So it's actually a reference to "Rank and file", both the higher ranking lead member at the front, and the single file formation (that it almost exclusively walks and battles in) forming behind it.
    Of course, you can't exactly call it "Rankin", since that name has other animation uses. "Fylin" (file-in), maybe?

    I also think that lurantis might have some inspiration from 70's hippies, due to its vivid color scheme and the striped bell bottom pants that are its legs. The dancing motions it makes might also allude to the peace era of that time, but that seems like a stretch to me

    I find it kind of strange that people seem to miss out on one of the other references with Orbeetle. That being that Orbeetle seems to also be a bit of a hobbyiest. Orbeetle disticively has an actual gunpla (gundam plastic model kit) V-fin on its head with the safety nubs still on. This further explains the science theme with its gigantimax form, since gundam is generally a space based series.
    This seems like such an obvious reference, but I almost never see anyone talking about it.

  • @udime123
    @udime123 3 роки тому

    With Orbeetle, I think it's worth noting that it also has elements of Japanese mecha, such as the yellow V-shaped fin antennae and somewhat mechanical body. Its size also fits this: it's about the size of a high quality Gunpla model!

    Cyndaquil is based on the hinezumi, also known as kaso or huo shu in China. The hinezumi is a fire rat said to live in volcanoes. It's famous for its fire-proof fur in the Princess Kaguya myth.
    What tipped me off is that, in Japanese, the Pokedex classifies Cyndaquil as the ひねずみ (hinezumi) Pokemon. Everything else lined up, down to Typhlosion's volcano influence.

    something else about cursola: it's fitting to have a pokemon based off coral bleaching in a region based off the country that started the industrial revolution: Brittan, which resulted in the heavy reliance in fossil fuels. This dependence on fossil fuels in Brittan is shown everywhere in Galar from the two mines, Motostoke and a literal coal pokemon.

      @Victor-mk5pp 3 роки тому +2

      Yeah me too. That would also make sense looking at the name. Hydreigon = Hydra + drei + dragon.
      (Drei is German for three, just like ein is one and zwei is two (see Deino and Zweilous))

    • @thealientree3821
      @thealientree3821 2 роки тому

      Actually speaking, Hydreigon feels like it’s more based on the Hydra, especially as there is a story involving a 9-headed one. The Yamaha no Orochi is 1 head off, while the Hydra has the exact amount of heads. The three heads may also refer to how people portray the Hydra with only 3 heads instead of 9.

    Also, wyrm is old english for both worm and dragon, and orbeetle has the body of a green-eyed wasp, a bug that lives in the UK and hypnotizes(linking the UFO with the mad scientist inspitation, and one of it's pokedex entries explains that) lady bugs into guarding their eggs.
