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.)
thank you for finaly telling people the oviase fact
Phalanx or falinks . Lol ron
@@crusader_072 Falinks is based on a Phalanx.
I understand 30% of those words
Can you make a video of making pokemon based off of greek egyptian norse and roman myths?
“It sleeps wherever it wants”
If they fits, they sits
"I did not know what Claydoll was supposed to be until.. I did"
Words of a true legend
"Hmm, yes, this floor is made out of floor."
I found that line funny.
this is why truegreen7 is one of my favorite poketubers lmao
His jokes is gold
Also Dragapult's translucent tailtip could be a hint to the fact that no diplocaulus-fossil found to date has been found with a complete tailtip (or so I've heard)
That is freaking genius, holy crap lol
Yay for paleontologists/dinosaur nerds (of which I am the latter)!
Now this is the kind of rare knowledge I love to see in the comment section! I'll literally never forget this lol
person person makes toooooo much sense
... woah. that's awesome. yet another reason to love dragapult.
The wobbufet one makes me love wobbufet even more. I didnt know that was possible
Oh! Do members let you see videos a day early
@@loftwild8725 2 days early to be perfectly
Oh, is that so?
That's the way it is!
Yes members see videos two days early
grimmsnarl and hatterene both represent the belief that witches hold their powers in their hair
When I got a hatterene, I named her bayonetta. It fits perfectly.
@@ethanw3961 possibly
They also draw inspirations from Morgan LeFay and her Green Knight, and they might also be based on the typical princess/witch and the monster captor/servant from many fairy tales
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.
"what's your favorite pokemon?"
"oh you probably wouldn't understand"
I love vanilluxe and I imagine most people wouldn't understand that.
@Three Question Marks Ikr? The whole vanillite line is cute imo. Also, I actually like the fact that it's based off of ice cream.
I love Umbreon. I promise I’m not edgy.
@@jiraya4219 I believe you. I could be wrong but I think umbreon is actually pretty popular. My favorite eeveelution is sylveon though.
I love bulbasuar, sceptile, and all the eeveeloutions I think people will understand
Farfetch'd: a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
Underrated comment
I love this.
Oh hey it’s you
@@NightSkyNyx its him
Davidgreen 123 omg it’s him
*throws master ball*
7:49 BONEEE WARS i think
I didn't understand how Bulbasaur's evolutionary line was based on frogs...
*...but them i saw Venusaur's walking animation in Let's go...*
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.
Was anyone else creeped out big time just imagining ur huge boi Venusaur jumping toward u like a huge bull frog? No? Ayt
I still don't. It has ears. Amphibians do not have ear holes. Its body is too horizontal. Its front and hind legs are the same length. Sure, they might draw from frogs but they clearly are drawing elements from other animals too.
@@Rioluman10 they are inspired doesnt mean they have to directly look like a frog and not frog + other animals...
The main body and idea is a frog, adding in other elements of animals just to make it more appealing
Cabbage frogasaurus! ❤️
The way I see the evolutionary line:
Blipbug: the nerd everyone bullies
Dottler: the nerd's home where he makes his plans
Orbeetle: the evil scientist the bullied nerd became
Gmax Orbeetle: the extraterrestial weapon of mass destruction the evil scientist built, or even turned himself into to take over the world, and repay those who wronged him.

Even though I hate real life bugs, some of the pokemon ones are really cool. Especially the ones from gen 5 and onwards.
@@laurenchinsphealsupremacis9978 Scolipede, Volcarona, Escavelier, Accelgor, Leavanny, Galvantula, damn, Generation 5 was the resurgence of the Bug-type.
@@wallybrown1341 I have arachnophobia so galvantula terrifies me. But I will admit that it has a unique design.
@@wallybrown1341 And gen 5 made dragon types more cooler than they already were
how is that not obvious?
Wow, that Toxtricity one is genius! Anyone saying Gamefreak is running out of ideas needs to watch this video.
And maybe some of Lockstins video.
I love toxtricity so much. Such a cool pokemon.😀

@tobiasfilms you said it
I love the Dunsparce line, especially it's fully evolved form Giratina.
what
@@beckhampang191 I don't know why this comment made me laugh so darn much but it did
Lmao
Hehe
I love Dunsparce
I knew the Applin one from watching Lockstin's vids and that origin LITERALLY MADE IT ONE OF MY FAVOURITE GALAR POKEMON
Also I knew most of them because I've watched SOOO MANY facts videos in the 9 years of me playing pokemon
But I will admit the Perserker one really surprised me.
Also HOPPIP IS GOSHDARN CAT!!
I'm shooketh
Hoppip is a dande-LION
I thought appleton was named after that city in wisconsin
A Wyrm in and apple
Sometimes Gamefreak actually does do things right
Damn you, Ron! I tried to find a Pokemon I don't like to to feed some mob under some UA-camr's comment section, but because of you, I can't find a single one!

" Applin is one of the most layered pokémon origins"
Me: WHY IS IT NOT AN ONION

That's interesting how in the Pokemon Sun and Moon anime, there's a tale of a girl named Celest that nearly mirrors the story of Kaguya
Probably that's because Celesteela Japanese name is Tekkaguya
Honedge's design is kind of genius. The Celtic knots are awesome, too.

Hello there.
@@jyotibhargava5493 hi ☺☺
You underestimate me, Ron.
Yay you're first!
Afrah Baig members get vids a day early
"You underestimated our power!"
Okay your script is absolutely on fire on this one. The links between each pokemon smoothly transitioning from one explanation to the next is just so GOOD I could listen to this video on repeat.
beta Hoppip is so adorable i kinda wish they kept it ):
Hoppip is a dande-LION
Yeah I love looking deeper into Pokemon lore which is why Gnoggin videos are amazing
Facts
Yeah
Facts
once I made a Pokemon called bersercat then pursercer was made
@@thebananabeast2322 I take it either you're nine or English isn't your first language.
Dude the Pokémon origin series are sick. Keep up the good work!
I didn't know Honedge's, such a small detail they thought of!!
Some other interesting facts
Archen and archeops are actually based off of Arecheopteryx and Microraptor gui. With the former based on Arecheopteryx and Archeops being based on Microraptor hence the "wings" on its leg. Both being badly fliers based on scientific theories that both dinosaurs didn't fly rather than they just glided from tree to tree.
This came up in my recommendations and is the first of your videos I've ever seen. Gotta say, really enjoyed it! Great work!
I didn't expect much from this, but this was an outstanding video. Your pace is phenomenal and but never came at the price of comprehensible presentation.
I knew a lot of these, or could imply a lot of these, but the celeseteela one was completely new to me. I always wondered what the heck that was. Thank you for the video man!
I really like how fast-paced and concise the video was! A lot of poke-tubers tend to ramble. So this was appreciated!
Hi Ron, I just want to say your videos are so well done and I look forward to them every Saturday! :)
i love seeing information about pokemon! awesome video. i could (and have) watch your videos all day
Oh man. I havent seen one of your videos in years. Its good to see you havent gotten any worse, if anything youve gotten better. I hope you keep up the good work
This is the first of your videos I have seen and it was AMAZING.
7:44 wait.....that's me! That's the exact outfit I had on my character for a while, and I used my Coalossol a lot when I started online battling
I love your video's Ron, keep being awesome.
Ron: Hey guys, Ron here
Me in my head: Hey Ron, guys here
Ik it stupid and I know it’s no reason for you to like but I though I’d share
that is hilarious
I didn't realize that there isn't a face on the sheath, the way the holes line up with the edges on the sword is so cool.
"i did not know what claydol is supposed to be until i did"
ah yes the floor here is made out of floor
For applin
That brings a whole new light to its sword evolution.
A dragon-like creature, with arms but no legs, that uses the apple
for its wings, with none of its own.
Love the swift pace of this video
You just gave me so many awesome nickname ideas for my pokemon. Thanks!
Nice to see you again, after a long time not watching your vids
Subbed in the first minute of watching, holy cow the quality.
This is amazing. Well done
Easily one of my favorite poketubers I love how you do videos on stuff past the games
Wait. So you're telling me that Dragapult is based on a Diplocaulus? Now I love Dragapult even more!!
Same here👍
Amazing videos, like everytime, 5 years from now i see you reached 1 million subscribers
me: restarts the video after watching
"Are you really in charge here?"
Perrserker is one of my FAVORITE gen 8 mons and I’m so glad someone’s finally talking about it’s attack animations
I didn't know any of the new Galar pokemon's design origins and honestly thought they were underwhelming designs but this video slapped me on the face and showed me it wasn't as it seemed because these are some of the coolest pokemon design origins I've seen. Great video!
I would love for this to become a series! :D
I love how every single Pokémon has a reason to be the way it is.
Interesting video, I liked a few of these concepts. By the way, what video will be coming out on the 4th?
6:59
I actually do know. Not because of pokemon. In a cartoon anime, doraemon. They accidentally dropped a gadget that produces illusions and is used in filming which turned into that thing
Another great video, good job
Ok but I have yet to hear a reason that justifies Cryogonal’s existence.
He's a literal special snowflake
Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :)
Jsi borec.
"Cohesive combination of relevant elements" is the best thing I've ever heard.
5:49 "The coronas around Larvesta..." AND now we're demonitized :P
Great vid keep it up
It should also be known that the stealth bomber Dragapult is based on is called the B-2 Spirit.
Get it? Spirit? Ghost type?
Brilliant work Ron
Another fun thing for Dragapult. The diplocaulus, which it is based on, has a nearly complete fossil with the exception of some portions of its tail. That might be the reason that the end of Dragapult's tail is ghostly and invisible.
The whole Komooh line hole some of my favorite pokemon.
Kommo-o, not Komooh!
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)
One of my favorite videos ever
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 always learn something from your videos, and not just about Pokémon. ☺️
Thanks to your explanation of appalam now I love it even more

Me: W-well, you don't have to be so condescending... 😭
Bruh chill
@@Alejandro-ph3is It's a joke...
Thanks so much for telling me about all these Pokémon!
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
These transitions are awesome
Hello love the vids
Loved it, thank you. Especially the part about Celesteela.
"Kinda teaches you to not judge a Pokémon before learning about it."
Darkrai: "You and me both, buddy."
"Florantis isn't a bug pretending to be a flower, it's a flower pretending to be a bug."
Twist of the century.
Whimsicott is also based in Saci, a prankster creature from brazilian folk lore that travels in swirls.
Hi Ron, could you make a top 20 anime themes video? I always love those kind of vids.
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.
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!
I learned more from this video than the pokedex
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.
I knew quite a few of these tidbits, but I learned some new little details.
I like when a single legend or story influences multiple properties. The whole Kaguya thing was interesting to hear and the only one I didn’t actually know.
12:45 Finally, someone can acknowledge that Orbeetle is VERY, VERY, VERY SMART.
I did not know that about Luxray. Very cool
I thought that Hydrogen was a Hydra from Greek mythology
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))
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.
Hey true green 7 long time no see haven’t watched you’re channel in a very long time but now I’m back
*eternatus is a fission flare nuclear capacitor*
just let that set in
Who would win?
A fission flare nuclear capacitor
or
2 good bois
I feel like a nerd for knowing all of these except woahbuffet porygon 2 and larvesta, that happens when you watch every pokemon video by lockstin.
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.
