I disagree. While I love his iconic red flannel he also looked pretty cool in the dark type gym tank. And if it took a lot for him to show us that like that Then we should boost his confidence by saying it looked good
@@kingdav3689 I guess since we've always seen him in his red flannel in most of his videos that its sorta imprinted in our heads and therefore anything else than him wearing a red flannel looks 'weird' to us. Either way, I agree that he looks nice in whatever he's wearing and he's allowed to change whatever he likes about himself. :)
In one version it was because Jack had a Cross in his pocket. The longer version of this story is that Jack encountered the Devil on a hillside after being run out of town for his scams. The Devil took the opportunity to try and steal his soul so Jack ran up a Tree the Devil followed but Jack juked him and got down first and got the Devil stuck in a tree with a cross at the base of the tree. Made the deal that he’d want just one more drink before he went with the Devil, he sees no problem with this deal and agrees. Then comes the coin trick followed by the “no hell for me” deal. Jack would later get his head chopped off from another con gone wrong later and the rest is history. (A later variation also has him replace his lost head with a pumpkin Lantern lit by a single ember from hell that can never go out because Satan was salty) The Devil got tricked repeatedly by a Con Artist and a salty Devil makes a deal that he never shows his face in hell.
Well it could be that the pocket wouldn’t fit a devil, also the devil wouldn’t know that jack was tricking him until he took him back out so he assumed he was taking a while to pay
MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION: If this Pumpkin-Thing can and will make other Ghost-Pokemon as well as Humans about to turn into Ghost-Pokemon pass on to the Afterlife - isnt that uniquely important and a huge matter?! I mean, Humans and maybe Pokemon can all turn into some species of Ghost-Pokemon, yes? Does that mean this one is the extremly important 'one true path'????

Pumpkaboo is unronically my favourite pokemon. But I like to interpret them as a spirit who can't go to their own rest, but can hoover up other lost spirits to take them to *their* rest. Maybe they'll be allowed in, too, if they finish their spooky community service. Or maybe they'll go full grudge ghost and evolve into a sadistic butternut squash. One or the other.
I liked Lockstin's previous cartoon depiction of himself but I also can see the appeal of the new version of it in this video. If it sticks around I can see myself growing to like it.

i love how animated your body movements are for just talking about this kind of stuff. it may seem small, but it actually makes me more invested in what's going on.
I always thought that Pumkaboo was supposed to be a little black cat ghost sitting in a pumkin,and when it evolved into Gorgeist it became a pumkin witch.Thats why Gorgeist has hair,because of the witch/hair connection you talked about in your Grimmsnarl and Hatterne videos.
@@gottesurteil3201 GOD I'm so proud to have Irish heritage-with actual family still living around Cork. My parents visited Southern Ireland (think anything south of Limerick to Cork and also Dublin cause of course) for two weeks and met up with some of our family there. I'm so jealous.
It’s worth to mention that if are playing Pokémon Sword or Shield, there’s a Halloween event where you have a high chance of finding a shiny Gourgeist in raid battles.
So happy you covered Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist!! They were immediately some of my favorites when they were introduced, for their designs, their inspirations, Ghost type in my top 3 favorite types, and because Halloween is my favorite holiday! I'd like to think Halloween is my favorite because of my Celtic roots but is probably just because I enjoy Fall, the macabre, less stress as with the other holidays once I became an adult (don't enjoy Christmas as much anymore :/) and deep love of candy! I spent the past 2 months or so chaining wild Pumpkaboo on Pokémon Y to get what I called the "big chonks" or "chubby" pumpkins (i.e. the XL ones) since I'm mass-building a competitive team of my favorite mons. This only brought my pumpkin friend back to my consciousness and solidified it as one of my favorites. ☺ I adore this channel and all the deep dives into Pokémon- it has only enhanced my adoration of Pokémon even more. Thanks as always, and Happy Halloween! 🎃
I love how I’ve had 3 Lockstin videos in a row this week. I love watching his videos before bed and they always entertain me, while they usually teach me something too. Thanks for the video output as of late, Lockstin!
I remember learning about Jack of the lantern from night mind. They are actually multiple stories. There is 2 version the coin story and the pub story. The pub one is mostly accurate except he instead sells his soul for a drink. When he dies and him and the devil head to hell and come across an apple tree. Then Jack tricks the devil by climbing the tree to get an apple but instead carving a cross into the tree the story then continues as normal except him being a genuinely worse person. The coin story is simple jack stole some guys wallet and was being chased. The devil offered Jack that for his soul he would turn into a coin to pay the man chasing him. Jack agreed but instead pockets him and leaves him next to a cross. The devil in pain is al like “Okay take me out please and you won’t go to hell.” Jack agrees and the story continues as normal. The reason people used to carve turnips is because it was believed the spirts were absolutely terrified of Jack and the turnip lanterns would scare them off when the Irish came to America they switched to pumpkins cause of the sheer amount of them in America.

Lockstin, you really deserve 1 mill at LEAST! The production value, your personality, and your research make this channel amazing! an the frequent upload schedule 🙏🙏we are very lucky and grateful
I love Pokémon, but I mostly watch Lockstin for all the history and more that they dive into to explain the origins of Pokémon. It’s great. One of my favorite channels.
Watch Tyranitartube. You will trust your existence to his hands. In his randomiser of Sword he teased a Black Kyurem calling him That’s right Fatty but then because Black Kyurem floats in its running animation he screamed in pure horror. Also you must have also known him due to his legendary Pokemon Extreme Alpha sapphire
I gotta admit, randomly seeing King Ramses made my heart skip a beat. Wasn't expecting to see him. 20 years later, and he's still giving me chills. lol!
Hey Lockstin, could you make a video talking about the origins Corviknight and why it's pre-evolutions are pure flying type when many other similar bird pokemon are normal flying? Also a video on the origins of Duraludon would be really cool!
In the Netherlands we have a Halloween equivalent called Saint Maarten, it's on november 11th and kids don't usually dress up but instead craft lanterns and walk door to door to sing a set of saint maarten songs. I'd assume that also evolved from a mixture of the November 1st singing thing with a story of a Dutch saint. Would be nice to know that connection actually
A turnip in Ireland is I think a rutabaga in the States? We also called them swedes, they're big and purple/green, and yellow inside, so not the small white ones that are also sometimes called turnips

My son's nickname is pumkaboo. It used to be pumpkin, but when pumpkaboo became a think I started calling him pumpkaboo and it made him laugh. He loves the nickname still even at 5 years old. I imagine as he grows up he will like it less and less. But I love this pokemon. I had to by a plush on for my son.
I know a another reference! Gourgeist is also based on a Japanese folktale that I don’t remember the name of, But basically its about a servant girl who alot of guys want to Marry. But she always turned them down. One of them tried so many times and failed. Until he hid one of the 10 fancy plates she was in charge of washing and showed her. She counted the plates “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9...” He promised not to tell the emperor if she out with him and she said no. In a rage he ordered the guards to tie her up over a well. He dunked her in the cold well water over and over again in between he told her to go out with him, And every time she said no. After a while he left her there to die. But she back as a revengeful spirit. Every night the man had nightmares and she would rise from the well and begin her count. “1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...” then she screamed! And anyone who heard her finish would be finished within a few days. Please read the original tail as I left some details out, thank you!
In some parts of the Netherlands, on November 11th, kids carry lanterns and go around door to door and sing songs in exchange for candy. Which is pretty much the same as what they did way back when only they don't really dress up as something anymore
"A gust of wind knocks something down? Don't worry, it's just a poltergeist!" Yes, an unstoppable vengeful spirit haunting your house is certainly less worrying than the wind.
I want a pumpkin. But not just a normal pumpkin. Why? It's Pumpkaboo! The cute and not-so-creepy jack-o-lantern Pokemon that everyone thinks it's cute!

I loved that he brought up the history of Samhain it’s one of the most important holidays for Celtic pagans and another important pagan holiday is Yule which takes place on December 22 when the winter solstice happens
Jack of the lantern and will of the whisps are based of of the same REAL phenomenon of foxfires. In a swamp, really deep, thick mud sucks animals down,they drown in the mud, and then decompose without oxygen. The decomposition creates gasses that usually react instantly with oxygen, but under the mud they build up to the point that as they rise from the mud and make contact with air creating small fires in swamps seemingly out of nowhere. If you are in a swamp and see a floating light, avoid it at all costs, because it is a foxfire, and the mud will suck you down like cartoon quicksand. For this reason we have will o the wisps, spirits that lure travelers to their deaths, and jack of the lantern a psychopomp guiding the souls of the dead wo was later christianised into stingy jack

Why didn't the Devil transform back while Jack was going home? Either he was just being played by the plot or just loved hanging out in his pocket.
The first poket monster was the devil himself.
In one version it was because Jack had a Cross in his pocket. The longer version of this story is that Jack encountered the Devil on a hillside after being run out of town for his scams. The Devil took the opportunity to try and steal his soul so Jack ran up a Tree the Devil followed but Jack juked him and got down first and got the Devil stuck in a tree with a cross at the base of the tree.

There were some versions that say Jack had a rosary in his pocket (I think)

I always thought Pumpkaboo was designed like a cat (because black cats are very Halloween-y) but a bat makes more sense to me now
"-and I feel... really naked."

Me who doesn't own a single tank top: "No!"
Me ,who would rather die than let people know I have skin"I agree with the person above me!"

My son's nickname is pumkaboo. It used to be pumpkin, but when pumpkaboo became a think I started calling him pumpkaboo and it made him laugh. He loves the nickname still even at 5 years old. I imagine as he grows up he will like it less and less. But I love this pokemon. I had to by a plush on for my son.
I know a another reference! Gourgeist is also based on a Japanese folktale that I don’t remember the name of, But basically its about a servant girl who alot of guys want to Marry. But she always turned them down. One of them tried so many times and failed. Until he hid one of the 10 fancy plates she was in charge of washing and showed her. She counted the plates “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9...” He promised not to tell the emperor if she out with him and she said no. In a rage he ordered the guards to tie her up over a well. He dunked her in the cold well water over and over again in between he told her to go out with him, And every time she said no. After a while he left her there to die. But she back as a revengeful spirit. Every night the man had nightmares and she would rise from the well and begin her count. “1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...” then she screamed! And anyone who heard her finish would be finished within a few days.
Please read the original tail as I left some details out, thank you!
In some parts of the Netherlands, on November 11th, kids carry lanterns and go around door to door and sing songs in exchange for candy. Which is pretty much the same as what they did way back when only they don't really dress up as something anymore
The Club penguin music for the intro is very appreciated.
Lockstin: the R rated origins of pumpkaboo
Pokemon: how dare you hurt me this
"A gust of wind knocks something down? Don't worry, it's just a poltergeist!"
Yes, an unstoppable vengeful spirit haunting your house is certainly less worrying than the wind.
Who ever said they're unstoppable?
UA-camrs are the only thing that keep me happy and able to live with myself
To all pokemon talk fans...
THE FLOOR TENTACLES WHERE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER AT 6:14!
2:16-2:21
the too previous Lockstins Cartoon and Anime Lockstin are now in heaven.
now we are stuck with Netflix Adaptation Lockstin
i miss Anime Lockstin please bring him back.
i'd even be happy with Cartoon Lockstin.
please i don't want Netflix Adaptattion Lockstin.
I want a pumpkin. But not just a normal pumpkin. Why?
It's Pumpkaboo! The cute and not-so-creepy jack-o-lantern Pokemon that everyone thinks it's cute!
Delibird...Gourgeist...who’s next?
Wow. I sure wish I had a sleep Schedule instead of watching this the second it came out
Edit: Actually it was worth it. Good episode Lockstin. Thanks
Wow, there's a pretty good lore explained going on with Gourgheist/Pumpkaboo here.
I still miss the old cartoony but more detailed avatar.
Thanks for making this video, pumpkaboo and gourgeist are two of my favorite pokemon
now this is what i call early.
also i love pumpkaboo and its evo, i have a plush of it (though i have over 100 pokemon plushes total so...)
Literally watching this at 2:15, right in the middle of the spirit realm time.
The speech balloons were frickin hilarious 🤣
As an Irish person, I can confirm that drinks with the devil is a common occurrence on a Tuesday night
Oh no I'm attracted to Team Yell Lockstin
When he said it holds A Spirit....I thought "Pumpkaboo is a Pokeball for Ghosts!!"
We need a flamming skull gnoggin pin ( also a tank top lockstin body pillow)
loved this - incredibly well researched & gourgeist is one of my faves
Could you do an "every [Region] pokemon explained" section?
MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION:
If this Pumpkin-Thing can and will make other Ghost-Pokemon
as well as Humans about to turn into Ghost-Pokemon
pass on to the Afterlife - isnt that uniquely important and a
huge matter?!
I mean, Humans and maybe Pokemon can all turn into some species of Ghost-Pokemon, yes?
Does that mean this one is the extremly important 'one true path'????
In a sense... is this the 'Ultimate' Ghost-Pokemon?! If you get what i mean?!
I loved that he brought up the history of Samhain it’s one of the most important holidays for Celtic pagans and another important pagan holiday is Yule which takes place on December 22 when the winter solstice happens
Why did the little Skeleman turn into a Will-O-The-Wisp? Did he die again? LORE!
Jack of the lantern and will of the whisps are based of of the same REAL phenomenon of foxfires. In a swamp, really deep, thick mud sucks animals down,they drown in the mud, and then decompose without oxygen. The decomposition creates gasses that usually react instantly with oxygen, but under the mud they build up to the point that as they rise from the mud and make contact with air creating small fires in swamps seemingly out of nowhere. If you are in a swamp and see a floating light, avoid it at all costs, because it is a foxfire, and the mud will suck you down like cartoon quicksand. For this reason we have will o the wisps, spirits that lure travelers to their deaths, and jack of the lantern a psychopomp guiding the souls of the dead wo was later christianised into stingy jack
@@ava490 I feel like this has been the most informative UA-cam comment I have ever seen. You get a star. But not Helios, we need that one.
Lockstin without sleeves is unsettling
Unf! Lockstin looking damn nice in that tank!!! Yes please.
You should do a video focused on gligar and gliscor, their design origins are amazing! A flying, face hugging scorpion gargoyle
Poor Lockstin forever haunted in his dreams and in the real life with *UA-cam Comments Section!!!!* *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO* 👻

Good work picking Diives for a image. Good taste
Hell yeah I'm having a pumpkin spice latte while watching this
why not just crush up a pumpkaboo and *DRINK IT*
@Gabriel Mota It possesses you
I thought there was a pokedex entry that implied their size was a result of the spirit they have trapped.
That gif of me is not real and you should not believe it
This lined up perfectly with the event.
Gamefreak: yeah... we totally meant to do that.
2:17 on both sides you can see lockstins old avatars in heaven meaning they are dead
So we’re not gonna talk about the animated black tentacles in the top right hand corner the whole video?? No???
Not sure if you knew what the image was but loved the random "shoutout" (not enough focus to really call it that but close enough) to Good Morning from Hell, a great podcast.
