My personal theory regarding fairies goes to popular lore. Fairies are often portrayed as highly mischievous creatures, who's greatest assets are their small size and quick movement. They are disarmingly cute and misunderstood, as current fairy types are. Take this to their strengths against dragons. Dragons are mighty in size and strength, and their usual downfall is that their great pride makes them over look those that they consider to be weaker. Since a dragon would normally pay no mind to an insignificant fairy, the fairy would use their mischief to find a dragons weakest point. The dragon, not expecting it, would be dumbfounded to any way to combat so small a creature(hence the fairies immunity). As to their weaknesses, most fairies find themselves most vulnerable to the realism of an everyday world, making poison and steel, two of the most grimly "real" types, their greatest weakness.
The weakness to steel type comes from the aspect of fairies being weak to "cold iron", that iron either drained their magic or actually was toxic to them.
+Dakota Dicks Dragons may be old and wise but they're extremely prideful. So even if they learn from a mistake their pride won't allow them to show it because doing so would show proof that they made a mistake and know that they made a mistake. P.S. shutup cartman.
+Joseph Orona I really like your explanation, though its been rephrased everywhere on the internet, I'm always amazed by how different people interpret the Fairy-type. Adding to the idea of fairies being weak to the "real" types, I think overall the Fairy-type is a type that represent fantasies, dreams, goodness, and in a different way than Psychic, magic. This could add to the theme that all Fairy Pokémon represent in their designs and purpose in the game.
HESHY ROGUE and what are knights wearing almost all the time when they save the fairies and/or the princesses and what almost always happens after they get saved
HESHY ROGUE it harps back to how sometimes princesses are called fairy princesses. Mostly because said princesses have magic in them in some format. However there are some stories that have a knight or knight-like person save a fairy and in most cases after they do they're "rewarded" for their services
so mr.mime is a demon
makes sense
Wait...
Fairy is a soap product for cleaning dishes...
DOES THAT MEAN MY DISH CLEANING SOAP IS DEMONIC?!
DOES THAT MEAN MR. MIME IS MADE OUT OF SOAP?!
D
Definitely
Reported for copyright. Thanks a lot Proto, I will miss you.
+HansDe3rd LOL, see you in court.
Does that mean if I show up I can see your face Proto?
..
I don't get it. What copyright?
2:05 ...Oh.
+HansDe3rd Don't be that guy..
The reason Fairy type is immune to and super effective against Dragon types is, in all honestly, purely for gameplay balancing reasons. Dragons were absurdly overpowered in the previous generations. Lore-wise, dragons were sometimes described as being highly susceptible to magic.
Fairy types are weak to Steel because in almost all sources of mythology about fairies, they are weakened and killed by iron -- it's like fairie kryptonite. (Remember how Captain Hook kept Tinkerbell imprisoned in what seems to be a cast-iron lantern?)
Fairy types aren't very effective against Fire because they are guardians of nature, with their magic being derived from said nature -- Fire is a destructive force, but it is a completely natural destructive force, so they are just as powerless in stopping it as anything else.
Poison type is good against Fairy because, in the Pokemon world, Poison types are very often representative of pollution -- you know, that stuff that *destroys nature.* (For the non-pollution-based Poison types, you could use the previous point about Fire and argue that a creature's natural venom is, well, natural).
Fairy being good against Dark is just typical "good" magic > "bad" magic/malicious intent.
The rest is kind of just because, really. Bug types aren't good against Fairy because fairies are protectors of the environments bugs live in, I guess? No clue about Fighting, although I guess Fighting represents mankind maybe...? (Plus I doubt you'd be able to just beat up a fairy...)
+Xaldyn Nemo
makes sence to me
Weak to Iron? Sounds more like elves to me...
+Donovan Larsen Elves, especially in the original myths, are fairies. A fairy is a general term for basically any kind of mythical spirit. Look up the fair folk for some really weird stuff about fairy's.
+Xaldyn Nemo Dragons Are Slain In FAIRY Tales In The End
But aren't Dragons dead at the end of fairy tales? And Tinker Bell was trapped in a iron cast... But wouldn't be trapped in a golden cast, makes h r still IN the cast, due to her small height? Captain Hook could've trapped Tinker Bell in a obsidian, diamond, etc.
Also, your example about Tinker Bell contradicts what you said, as you said that fairies are killed by iron, but in no way did Tinker Bell get killed or get hurt by the iron. She got hurt BECAUSE he hit her with a sword (I think, it's been 7 years since I saw the film).
In Poison, I completely agree with you, but isn't pollution a source that gets defeated in some fairy tales? I mean, if by pollution you mean actual humans. Humans are some kind of POLLUTION, as they cut trees AND create buildings in it. Some animals have gotten EXTINCT or CLOSE to extinction because of humans.
Fire isn't necessarily a naturally made force. I've seen fire, since I like to create new things, and people are the perpetrators from some fires.
I KNEW Jigglypuff was evil the whole time!
+ABrandonToThePast The real question is, why is Jigglypuff such a BUTT?!
Jigglypuff is a butt because it will put you to sleep and draw Dora on your face.
+ProtoMario At 1:08 you said "Rachu are" and had a pic of a squirtle.
i knew garnevoir is a demon
a demon of death and lust
ABrandonToThePast same
Dragons are weak to fairies because in FAIRYtales the dragon is slayed
And the fae sometimes help the hero
+Chase Helmer
OH NABBIT YOU CLEVER DEVIL!
I agree to tht.
+Andrei Caunan *that*
you are very close to the truth. but the fae have a much richer, more expensive history than that.
Klefki are based on an old Pagan belief (or joke) that lost items (keys, remotes, etc) were actually taken from fairies. I was thinking that they should've drawn a fairy-looking Pokemon holding keys instead, and then I realized that they would end up looking like Flebebe.
Gardevoir's my favorite Pokemon. I've always thought of them as a sort of Guardian Angel - fits its description.
What's the thing in gardevoir's chest
What's the thing in gardevoir's chest
What's the thing in gardevoirs chest BTW
Well, nobody is absolutely sure. I always thought of it as a sort of antenna or transmitter through which it conducts its psychic powers.
+Epic Archer I think the thing on gardevoir chest is a blade idk for sure
Dragons are slain in fairy tales, I think that's why the type effectiveness is as it is
Mega Charizard X BLWADLALA!!!!!!
Orchid Blossom GOOD JOB BRUH
blyat
Orchid Blossom makes sense
mostly with a steel sword but steel is not effective bam theory dropped
The reason why fairy types are strong against dragon types is cause in myths and legends it's usually through magical assistance a dragon can be slain. Only an enchanted weapon is able to get through the scales and magic shields can prevent being touched by the dragons flames.
this is the my theory fairys were made to balance the meta game case closed
Fairy type : If you could only know, what we really are............
I see what you did there
W H A T W E R E A L L Y A R E
*****
hey
But PROTO You forgot the Fae of Irish/Celtic/Scottish lore which is where the steel weakness is from.
And the Fae were very fickle and from what I remember they could be assholes.
I just thought fairys just stopped dragons in the legends
I didn't watch the video btw
+Flame wheel lol
of coarse don't you watch fairy tail they are dragon slayer. .....ok bye
wished fighting wasn't weak to fairies. poor scrafty and pangoro.
+Flame wheel That might have something to do with it, and generally magic seems to be portrayed as something that even the strongest beings (Superman) aren't resistant to... except when it comes to the Fairly Oddparents...
Protomario is a war veteran?
+Guernsey Pierre Yes
That is amazing.
yo fairy type means fairytale as in the hero kills the dragon
Hmmm I don't know about that however it does make sense.
+ProtoMario may I ask what branch and where u were stationed at?
*SPOILERS*
Proto spoiled bravely default entirely without even trying x).
no proto fairy's are not demons they are floating car keys
U know that sock u lost in the dryer it became a fairy
+PlasmaNews haha lol
+PlasmaNews No it was a yokai's fault then it became left leg of exsockia
+PlasmaNews Sock Pokémon for Gen 7 confirmed
I thought they were pink ovals
In fairy tales, dragons are villains. It's usually a spell that defeats them (like in the Disney version of Sleeping Beauty, the 3 good fairies enchant the sword for Prince Philip to kill the Mefilicent dragon). Thus, fairies defeat dragons. The end.
But also in fantasy, there is no honor among thiefs.
steel is not super effective agenst dragon
but what about "MIMIKYU!!!" >:(
Great video Proto! love what you do!
I have been following your videos for a while and most of your stuff I can't believe the work you put in. lol I wanna donate to keep seeing these vids
theory: normal types are cinnamon rolls too pure and good for this world
The Goddess of Onions lol
ladonna murray
ladonna murray
Mwahahaha
+Leon Whincup Than why are there super effective on dark types.Are they eviler or something.Ps:I know its not a word but I likes it.
lol hi trickywi
+Trickywi omg trickywi hi :D
omg!!! trickwi!!!
...... not really surprised.
My friend and I came up with a good theory. Dragon types are Pokemon that exert extreme energy and are almost unstoppable. It isn't the power of Dragon, but power that's overpowered. Fairies are the opposite. They are the lack of energy. They blast the lack of energy (kinda like black holes) if that makes any sense. They are immune to dragons because all of that energy is just absorbed. And when they use their lack of energy, or energy that absorbs all energy, dragons lose all of the energy they used, making the attack super effective.
I like when you elaborate on the myths pokemon are based off of.
Because fariys types are to cute. And the dragons can't handle it xD
F you
Okay then.
Dont you read fairy tales
*Door opens* DR.MOTHERF#CKING MEGA CHARIZARD X BLWADLALA!!!!!!!!! (fires blue flamethrower at Jigglypuff)
Magda Hussein jiggly puff be like I'm a fairy u can't harm me stupid
gardevoir was a dead spirit that came in your dreams in one pokémon dungeon game.
I had no idea you were a vet. Thanks for your service!
"... or strange men." : inserts picture of Ichiya : My life is complete.
but proto, what about sylveon? eevee evolve into them with the power of love.. how can that be considered as magicians, spirits, or demon?
Because love is the most powerful magic of all I guess ...?
+Kathy Plester #withoutloveitcantbeseen
dk,but i wonder how i normal damn eevee could evolve to some demon
I like to think Pokémon usually go through violentn spasms and other things during evolving. Maybe it dies during evolution, and changes it's form and stays visible to the human eye to not upset it's trainer? Because I mean, you have to evolve it with friendship. And it was too loyal to part with you. Don't quote me on this, though.
ya?
I am at the beginning of the video I think it is that because in a fairytale the hero always slays the dragon
Me too. :|
Pikachu Child you copy my Facebook photo!! 😠😡😠
Nur Damia Batrisya EXCUSE ME????? Listen I don't even know who the heck you are , you are not the only one to have found that picture ON THE INTERNET , what would you say if I said you copied me ?? No you wouldn't like it
Pikachu Child
Dude chill, shes from my country and my country's people are not that smart with internet... so yeah.. I apologize from her side..
Love your profile pic too..
Hero A hey yeah sorry about that I just don't like being accused
good vid as always proto!
"and I'm a war veteran so there you go.." favorite line in any poketube video to date.
Clefairy is not a fairy or demon, its an alien! xd
lol
do i smell some glitchxcity pokeball factory remix in the background?
+Maya Burger yes
+Maya Burger no, you heard it.
+ProtoMario Yo hi
I really enjoyed your video and my inner mythology nut came out, so I hope you don't mind the ramble! I am really glad you looked into the darker side of fairy types and the lore behind them because it's honestly one of the most fun parts of fairies in mythology too! From beings like the People of Danu (Tuatha De Dannan) in Ireland to the creatures like Kelpies and Will-O'-The-Wisps, fairy lore is rich with beings of good, tricky, and flat out evil. Its good to see someone highlight that darker side, where everyone seems to focus on the cuteness and light.
Faries, fair folk, little people, and fae folk are a type of mythological group. Most people when they think Fairy are thinking Sidhe (pronounced "shee") are Irish, or the Persian Peri, which are often portrayed as fallen angels, though generally light. There is a dark side of fairy lore, and it's not all cute and happy, though some of it is! My dream is to see a fairy dark type based on the cu sith or black dog
why do i like listening to these types of videos when i clean lol cx my favorite one has to be this one!
82 views and 82 likes... either there's a glitch in the views or wow that's good!
There's 100 likes and 82 views what

I think it is a view glitch, mine is saying 108 views and 211 likes.
I mean sure Proto is good but he isn't THAT good.
100+ views, 300+ likes.
+Toshiro Hitsugaya SUCKS bruh it's a glitch
Actually "fairies" were first called, "the fae" they existed in celtic myths as mischievous creatures. They came in all sorts of sizes but my fave are the ones people often call, "elves" they' have long hair pointy ears and are tall and are very beautiful, they're not elves though they were called, the fae first hand. These creatures motivations are some what based on where they are. In irish mythology they were more hardcore. Taking babies and replacing them with changelings using spirits and the faces of the dead to fool people and so forth. The welsh believed they were more beinin and weird. Like showing you to a loved one before they died at night kinda in a sleepwalking form. They did turn somewhat demonic when christianity came to their shores.
The words fairy and fay come from an old French word fee, which is a woman who can use magic, the word was adopted by the English and eventually was used to refer to all things magical or enchanted. Most of the beings referred to as fairies in modern times have routes in Gaelic and Scandinavian mythologies, elves and gnomes being examples from Scandinavia, but in Gaelic mythology there are beings known as the Sídhe (shee) in Ireland or Sith in Scotland, which is an inclusive group of different monsters and gods. Christianity did pretty much demonise all of them though!
the "Strange man" almost made me split my drinks
Ever since the fairy type was super effective towards Dragons, they've always been demons to me.
I bow to the power of Jigglypuff! christainty made everything they didn't like evil. Faries are awesome, even if they like pranking you.
The dullahan can be labeled a fae and he's the headless horseman
+Kevin S.
Dullahan (or Dulahan) is also basically a Celtic version of the grim reaper if I remember right. Goblins are also considered a type of fae.
The fae folk's "pranks" aren't always harmless by the way. Some involve kidnappings and stuff of that nature.
+TraciPeteyforlife Yeah the fair folk were originally I think based off of legends of a Celtic traveling tribe called the Tuatha De Dannu, the people of the goddess Dannu. It's just a harmless pagan traditional folk belief labeled evil by Christians in medieval Europe.
Rachael Lefler The Fae have deep roots in Europe in general, mostly Scotland, Ireland, and England (Where as I understand it the Celts had several tribes though not 100%) so they probably started with the celts and traveled around Europe.
I would remember hearing them not being labeled evil but strange creatures that should be avoided like a dangerous animal.
***** they're mischievous mostly
This explains Jigglypuff's Demonic Stare.
Fairies have a complex history. It's actually a really good type because it taps into both Eastern and Western lore.
The modern word "fairy" derives from Early Modern English "faërie" (cf. Edmund Spenser's "The Faërie Queen"). However, "faërie" refers to a place -- the realm of its denizens, the fae. The word "fae" gives us the modern English adjectives "fay" and "fey" -- think about that the next time you watch Tina Fey perform! -- and it was also a synonym for "elf".
While a lot of people might think of elves in the Tolkien sense, in traditional Germanic lore, elves are actually impish tricksters. Rowling's house-elves are another realization of fokelore elves, as is Terry Pratchett's very dark interpretation of elves (read "Lords and Ladies" when you get a chance; if you're really interested, Pratchett also published, just before his death, a rather thick book detailing the source material for elements he incorporated into the Discworld). Oberon and Titania in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer's Night's Dream" are also elves; another legend especially in writing lore is that he wrote the play specifically to appease them -- Neil Gaiman once wrote a Sandman story based around this legend. In Romance lore, fairies and elves are also extensions of the ancient Roman concept of the lars, that is, a god of the place.
This is a truly ancient concept and one that is found both in every Indo-European mythology (Greek, Roman, Celtic, Germanic/Norse, Slavic, Persian, Hindu) and in Shinto, as well as a broad set of other sources -- such as most Native American mythologies. The idea is that every place, every river and meadow and clearing and village and homestead and, well, everything you can point to on a map, really, has its own spirit associated with it. It makes an appearance in the Iliad, the oldest work in the entire Western tradition, where the very god of the river Scamander opposes Achilles. It is, in short, a concept that was already old when civilization was new.
However, at this point, we can see the linkage with demons. (And with genies! The word "djinn" is derived from the Persian word for "spirit", which is cognate with Sanskrit for"god" and the English word "divine" -- yep). This is because spirits of place include a wide variety of spirits known as "nature spirits" -- fauns, satyrs, nymphs, that sort of thing. These were co-opted by very early Christianity as "demons" -- this is why conceptions of Satan through the ages are strikingly similar to Pan, an ancient Greek nature god: both are developed from the faun, a nature spirit that was half man and half goat. Many other demons followed this mold.
This also means that a Pokémon based on Beelzebub (literally: "Lord of the Flies") can be every bit as Fairy-type as one based on, say, Ganga (goddess of the Ganges in Hindu tradition) or Amaterasu (a major deity in Shinto) ... as well as literally thousands of other applications. It also implies there are some deep in-universe interlinkages between the Fairy, Psychic, Dark, and Ghost types. But, ultimately, it does not tell us at all about why the Dragon type can't affect the Fairy type at all.
The fact that they're weak to steel in Pokemon is actually really telling of where the inspiration for the typing as a whole came from. Celtic legends describe them often as being incredibly beautiful, and have tremendous power, but more often than not in many stories they're described as tricksters, or make cruel bargains with humans simply because they could. (Seriously look up some of that shit, its ridiculous) It usually came down to power, or love. Someones wife was dead and they needed the fairy to revive them, or someone unimportant wanted to be recognised (blah blah blah, you get the idea) so they made a deal with the fairy who would grant their wish, but usually at a price.
Bearing in mind that those are just the "nice" fairies, some of them were straight up messed in the brain.
Anyway, the typing thing. Fairies in the stories would often send mortals on a quest to kill things like Dragons purely for amusement sake. Like it was just the sort of mythological food chain Mortal
Dragons are slayed in fairy tales
okay not trying to be correcting and all that but sidhe is pronounced shee its Gaelic for fairy or evil being
by the way i love ur videos they have helped me to more embrace the pokemon world keep up ur great work and PS. fairy types are my fave because i study fairy lore in real life
Thank you for your service Protomario
Proto Mario how you get you name and make "but proto" work so well in your video??? very creative and funny
All Pokemon are demons. They are referred to as Digital Demons!
KoolredfoxPlays that's digimon
KoolredfoxPlays gr8 m8 I r8 8/8
TECHNOLIGY DEMONS!!!
XD your so right...
Actually.. Fairy types are good against Dragons because in FAIRYtales, the Dragons are usually considered to be the villain, and are almost always defeated. :>
+Will-O-Wisps but i n real life the sword would just break on the dragon's scales and the dragon would eat the knight....but in fairy tales its the opposite....because "dragons are evil". i just dont get it because dragons are not evil, rayquaza saved the world from groudon and kyogre....im confused....only dialga is safe....i saw a clefairy in meteor falls....i think it was murdering all the dragons....i have no idea what im doing at this point....the apocalypse is here....keep your dragons safe....
+Will-O-Wisps but but, isnt it mostly the humans disturbing the home of the dragon and then it goes exact judgment on the humans, who then cant beat it, and then the pesky humans summon the evil fairy's to stop the dragon
Top 10 Pokemon UA-cam Channels - TopX Ep. 49
You made it, big guy.....
When I saw the title of this video, all I thought of was Solid Snake saying "But the Demon..." from the crab battle video xD
God, I hate how Pokemon has evolved. why make a key chain Pokemon WHY?! it's because of that reason why I hate new Pokemon games, and all the games are exactly the same. they could have went back to previous regions and made brand new adventures SMH
I think Klefki is based off a Japanese demon, one that hordes things, can't remember the name of the demon though
Neechi Man Gaming well in the new Pokemon game there's a sandcastle Pokemon and a flower crown Pokemon
Pokemon running outta ideas
yeah man! garbodor sucks but voltorb grimer and magneton have awesome designs!
no gardevoir is better and she has a mega evalotion
honestly I think ya'll don't really get how they come up with the ideas and just want to bitch about the design :/.
Klefki is a fairy type and is based on keys. In different cultures missing car or house keys are attributed to fairies playing tricks on humans by taking their keys and putting them somewhere else. It makes sense.
Comfey is an alolan pokemon, and is based off of/ is a living hawaiian Lei.
also Geodude was a rock krabby was a crab shellder is a shell and various other pokemon are either inanimate objects or animals. To start complaining about something that's been prevalent since Gen 1 is stupid lol
+ProtoMario I liked this video just for the stunt at 2:05. Though you do have good points about Fairies being demonic in origins.
Yoooooooooooooooooo proto on watch mojo you are on their top 10 as the 3rd best poketuber!!!!!! Congratz!!!! Before I even watched that vid I was hoping you were in it I promise!!! Congratz!!!!
Fairy type pokemon are my absolute favorite. I'm glad you have given them some credit. The actual lore behind fae is incredibly fascinating to me. They are not exactly benevolent creatures, they love playing tricks and messing with people's heads.
It actually made perfect sense for me that Clafairy is a fairy type alien pokemon, since there is an idea about how alien sightings are similar to past fairy sighting (i.e. flying, blinding lights, strange creatures seen, etc.) and how aliens are just a new kind of fairy
hey proto, you got third place in mojo's top ten pokemon channel thing. congratulations
ProtoMario likes Fairy Tail?
Entire life validated
I have a question about Pokemon! What is your opinion on a Pokemon Origins 2, one that will cover Pokemon Gold and Silver?
So glad to have someone ask this about Fairy-type Pokemon. The eyes of Sylveon aren't exactly normal, either. Plus, it has those ribbon feelers that are like retractable and extendable tentacles. We also have Spritzee and its terrible evolution Aromatisse. I still like Mawile and Granbull, though.
Explains why Sylveon is soo creepy and has those fangs and why draining kiss steals energy and health. I believe it.
You have some of the most fun videos.
Perhaps different fairys have different origins, after all, just because one may a daemon doesn't mean all of them have demonic origins.
Good video btw. :)
Honestly, fairies being supereffective against dragons always made perfect sense to me, idk why.
Hey ProtoMario, do you think you can come up with a theory of the long lost item called Berserk Gene found in pokemon gold and silver.. Back when I was kid I was always curious on what it is and would it ever come back onto the games..
+ProtoMario I know irish lore on fairies.they're pretty much any monster, so if fairy Pokemon are based off of Irish lore, ALL POKEMON ARE FAIRIES!
what kinda video editor do you use to make your videos
Thank you for your service overseas and your service for pokemon theories
defiantly Mr. Mime
with that smile, and those hands
OH GOD
Sidhe is pronounced like the english word she. Also, I consider the fairy typing to equate with folklore more than anything. The futakuchi onna isn't really a demon either. That's a gross misunderstanding of the tale. It's meant to be a cautionary tale against greed. She did no deception at all. Some folklore considers the fae to be a sort of half-fallen angel. A group that sided neither with Michael nor Lucifer in the great betrayal and therefore were kicked out of heaven but not banished to hell. As punishment, they were cursed to be ambivalent towards anything that didn't lead to their own gain. I personally like the prechristian folklore the most. Generally they're just depicted as supernatural beings of all sorts. Some are good and some are evil. Mostly, they're simply mischievous.
Cool video! For everyday objects, like the keys, I don't think it matters how they are typed as far as their origin goes. I've heard of an old oriental legend that says everyday objects like (keys) can come to life after they reach 100 years old. I've often wondered if this legend isn't behind some of the more odd Pokemon like keys, swords, spinning electrical gears, exc.
you're one of my favorite UA-camrs
Growing up with Irish mythology, I learnt from a young age to not mess with fairies because they can be very dangerous...
I think it makes more sense to follow through on the space based nature of some Fairy Pokémon and say that they are Celestial Beings. They can still gain their power from the “heavens,” though that would be just a euphemism for cosmic rays and space dust, really.
Yeah, I kinda hate how Disney and the like have twisted the concept of fairies. I've been reading some novels recently, one of which is a realistic take on magic, the supernatural and folklore. They actually reference things in real life folk-lore like fairies. Fairies from real-life folklore are messed up, they are nothing like little people with wings that grant wishes, they are said to be mischevious little monsters. They would play pranks on people, steal memories and would kill people for the laughs, but not out of malice. There was also the myth of changelings, specifically in Ireland/Wales sort of area. The fairies would kidnap children and replace them with a lookalike fairy called a changeling. Real fairies: not suitable for kids.
i think that klefki is like a key to the underworld and with it a person (or pokemon) could unleash all the stuff in the underworld into the overworld
or it could be keys to other worlds and then they could unleash all the bad stuff in those worlds they shouyld totally make a movie about that
I just hear Dean Winchesters voice saying: "Fight the fairies! You fight those fairies!"
(Supernatural 6x09 "Clap your hands if you believe")
+Shiyaroku Basil I have watched two pokemon videos (today) and in those to I have come across TWO references to SPN. I love it and I have almost screamed both times
Your a vet? Mad respect I thought you were like 16-17 by your voice!
Dude, you're a war veteran who loves pokemon? Awesome!
ProtoMario what is your view on weaponized Pokemon or the possibility of weaponized Pokemon. e.g. giving a pikachu a mech suit or a gun of some sort
Proto can you sing a lullaby? I sometime watch your videos to go to sleep
I agree with you on Klefki, I am a paranormal investigator as well as a practitioner of pagan and metaphysical arts and I have to say you are spot on on a lot of subjects though for further reading I recommend checking out the entries in both the encyclopedia of ghosts and spirits (entry is found on page 164) and the encyclopedia of witches witchcraft and wicca (Entry is found on page 118). but the reason I agree with you on Klefki is there is a phenomena in paranormal lore where spirit energy can latch itself onto an object that the person was close to when alive, and boy could I tell you guys some stories of haunted items I have encountered ranging from the seemingly harmless to the creepy to the demonic related (I AM NOT KIDDING!)
Thank you for your service!
Hey Proto wanted to say like the theories, & i think i might have one for you. Are Backpacks in Pokemon using the same tech as pokeballs? i mean they can carry tent's, clothes, & many other thing while being small. sounds kinda like a pokeball. since there small and can hold Pokemon as big a a Wailord.
protomairo. how does this tie into the theory of gengar being the demonic or ghost form of clefable?
I just want to say, Mawile is my favorite pokemon. thanks for the info about what it is probably based off of
I've got a Pokemon Theory about Klefki.
If the keys are in fact inanimate objects, not originally part of it, and it can still hold items, how does it maintain the keys when it goes into a Pokeball?
Wait, you are a war veteran?Mindblown! :)
Fairies are also said to be mischievous and sometimes dangerous. For Klefki, mischievous fits quite well. It takes keys and never releases them. This sounds similar to folktales I've heard about mischievous fairies taking things. I'm willing to bet there is a story about a fairy that stole keys.
I heard the most loose definition of fairy is "anything supernatural and at least a little humanoid"
When I was seeing even though I couldn't draw that well and was seeing if I could think of a reagons worth of ideas that also included all type compos not covered I included a Werewolf, Orc, ogre, Troll and Gremlin as fairy types.
Klefki doesn't actually include the keys by default. As shown in the anime, Klefki's body is the little lock face and bits above and below it, and the loop is two arms that can join together. The keys are literal inanimate keys that it picks up and holds onto.
Hey! I'm adding Eeveelutions to my 7th generation ideas, to cover all 18 types. I got down Veneon (Poison), Aeroeon (Flying), Dracoeon (Dragon), and Hiveon (Bug). Now, I need to cover 18-(4 + 8) more (If you don't understand math, that is six more Eeveelutions).
Other somewhat evil fairies are the Snubbull family, which is based on bulldogs, and the Spritzee family, which is based on plague doctors.
Sidhe is actually pronounced like Shee :) Awesome Theory Proto!
You should do one on why fairies were able to be hit by dragon type moves before gen 6.
Thanx Proto.
"And strange men," then a picture of Ichiya from fairy tail XD
Hey Porto Mario I cracked it, fairy types are strong fighting the Dragon type based on fairy tales where the Dragon is slaughtered by a good guy.
Just the other day I made a correlation between fairy type pokemon and the creatures from the fairyland of the Discworld (mostly these two novels: "Lords and Ladies" and "The Wee Free Men"), by Terry Pratchett. In that series, the creatures from fairyland are evil (which matches almost everything said in this video) and apart from that, any object made from iron counters these creature's magic powers. That mirrors the fact that fairy type pokemon are weak against steel type attacks. Pretty interesting... although I think it's just a big coincidence.
