3:09 Kleavor's design is based on Shibata Katsuie, A Japanese Samurai who was usually depicted wielding Double Axes. Even the rock parts resemble Shibata's Hair and Beard
Funnily enough, Lilligant moves A LOT so it looks significantly better than you may anticipate Shoes are kinda weird though Edit: after watching a Lockstin video, the shoes make a LOT more sense now
Palkia and Dialga are trying to mimic their creator, Arceus, and that's why they look weird since it's incomplete. In my opinion, I think they look majestic
@@GetMadz and six leg boi is a snake because he betrayed arceus honestly if they did those forms in the same game ( aka platinum) like gari it would make more sense
I just beat the game today, hisuian samurott looked bad at first but when it goes into combat? Man, any slicing attack he did was cool. Major fan of the jagged long sword/shell
@@NeoVers3 I feel like it being small makes it look more wise than strong. Instead of a strong ninja he looks like a wise old man, but I wouldn’t really say pathetic.
It makes sense that the legendary look so stupid because these are their “pre-forms” like what Arceus was born he didn’t just instantly knew how to make a Pokémon he just made up something that look exactly like/similar himself because he was just a child. So that means learn down the line when he wiser up he will soon mold the mold his guards into the right form in present time
@@sushi287 Because that form has different lore, in fact, its giratinas main form, the "standard" one is just its attempt at following the worlds physics or something
I just wanted to say, anyone who says that H.Zorua/Zoroark is ugly or badly designed should know that their opinions are wrong & mine is correct, & yes I am definetly biased
6:31 i do agree, personally I don't like the black they used and it probably would have looked better with the white that growlithe had but honestly I agree with your decisions they were smart Edit: seriously though Diagla got a wave breaker lodged on his throat and all his colors drained while Palkia, what did they do to him?
I beleive the reason is due to lore in a way, with Dialga's throat blocked it cant use roar of time and without palkia's arms it cant use spacial rend, though unfortunately they didnt go all the way with that concept because you can still use those moves just by different means, also I think they might sort of represent a biblically accurate beast or somethinf
The Zoroark looks cool to me, but that's mostly because I really like normal Zoroark. Also, sense the only weakness the normal type has is fighting and ghost is immune to it, and the fact that normal type is immune to ghost, a normal-ghost type is literally just a better version of ghost. Plus, stab boost for normal type moves. Ik this is judging looks and not effectiveness, but this is honestly the first time I learned about the new Zoroark's typing so I felt like pointing it out.
Having played a chunk of it now, I can safely say that this game is absolutely amazing and probably my GOTY. Yes. I’m calling it now. Unless BOTW2 actually happens this year then yeah maybe that
In the Dex entries Palkia and Dialga have those forms to represent Arceus, apparently both of them wanted to dethrone Arceus so they both tried to mimick him, although that doesn't explain why Palkia suddenly has hooves
a week ago, I would've agreed with most of yall but now I've played it, a lot changed and I find most pokemon I hated rlly good when in-game ofcourse I don't hate the ones I liked before
I'm gonna say it, I love decidueye. I think the wings are smaller because they are representing the shoulder pads samurai where to protect themselves from arrows. And it's also based on the Chinese and Japanese aspect of archers, I love it and it's a strong pokemon.
okay so I saw this explained in the comments abouyt Enamourus and I think it explains how it fits SUPER WELL. but the Genies Therian forms are very resonant to the four chinese cardinal directions with North being Tornadus is the Vermillion Bird, Landorus is the White Tiger, Enamourus is the Black Tortoise and Thundurus (Possibly also the only one that is also even remotely close to the original color) is the Azure Dragon... SO like Enamourus fits WAY MORE than it looks, trust me I thought it was weird too but yeah. I also kinda love: 1. How it's snake wraps around like a 'Boa' being both a boa in fashion and a boa in like a snake 2. How it's a play on the old saying 'Love is in the air' 3. That it's turtle form is like a softshell tortoise
Origin Palkia has to be one of my favourite designs. It might look weird at first (once learning the lore behind that, it's much easier to accept) but man, animated it looks absolutely majestic. It reminds me of a pegasus.
5:25: If, given that Stantler and Scyther are still with us in the modern days of the game, the in universe explanation in probably that the move your supposed to use 20+ times in a row to get Wyrdeer has become a lost attack, and the evolution method to get Syther to become Klevor is also lost to time, I could really see a saga in the anime where Ash catches a Scyther, and then him and Goh go on one of there journeys to rediscover stuff and Ashes Scyther and Goh's Stantler evolve, but given the anime's track record, we all know an awesome idea like that would never happen.
fun story about Sliggoo and Goodra: the actual mythical creatures they were based on actually have shells. like Sliggoo was based on a Lou Carcolh, a super imposing giant snail monster, and Goodra is based on the Shussebora, a yokai that was once a sea snail turning into a dragon after many, many years. so technically: these are the stronger versions of these Pokemon, even more sos since they are part Steel types. also, H. Goodra is down right adorable when it shoots back into it's shell. it's an absolute favorite of mine now.
also: i have to add i love that they liked Voltorb and Electrode's looks in this game. i mean, i feel in love with Voltorb when it was first revealed. like they changed it just enough to be different from the original thing and i just have to have one on my team when i get the game. Electrode is cool too but i don't know if i like it as much.
If you think about it Dialga and Palkia's design makes sense since with Dialga's throat blocked and Palkia's arms removed they cant use Roar of time and Spatial rend respectively, as well as that they might be based off of some biblically accurate creature cause they kinda give that vibe
Error: Wyrdeer is marked as Normal/Fairy instead of the proper Normal/Psychic Edit: Another one: Typhlosion is marked as Water/Ghost instead of Fire/Ghost
Hisuian Zoroark’s weird pimple things make sense when you consider that its based off of kitsune. Kitsune were often blamed for diseases like… smallpox! The original Zoroark was also based on a kitsune but hisuian zoroark goes ALL IN on the inspiration. There are multiple really cool videos about it that I would highly recommend!
I love listening to you guys review stuff like this. It's a lot of fun and I enjoyed your comments There is one error that I probably should specify, that you listed Typhlosion as a water and ghost-type
H-Sliggoo and H-Goodra are based on the Shussebora, a Snail who's lived long enough to become a dragon. Sneasler seems to be based off a Ōnyūdō, a tall humanoid that causes those who look at it to fall ill.
5:46 little thing I'd like to add: "orso" is bear in Italian and "luna" is moon, so the little moon he has on the face whit the mud looking like clouds covering it makes even more sense to me, as an Italian. There are latin origins from many pokemons, like this one or kleavor, because "clava" is an ancient weapon (The translation from google is club, correct if I'm wrong) and the idea it represents, like a stone ancient version makes even more sense
"If they built on it it'd make it cooler." "The concept is good but the execution could have been better." Okay, but how? I'd value these opinions more if they elaborated on what would improve what they don't like.
10:52 It got a necklace. You better not say a single thing about it's flames. If you mention its flames, I have no reason to believe a single thing you say about this. Also, why didn't you show the flames?
8:21: Sneasler sounds like the name of a bad buffet restaurant, Our food is bad and give you a heart attack, but there shore is a lot of it, come spend to much at your local Sneaslers.
Okay... I hated new dialga and palkia but seeing them in game is amazing. It's the first time you see a creature of that size and it's truly so cool and intimidating and fits everything about the game.
11:16 Weird way to say "The worst one." They just colored his horn black. I don't mind that, but at least with the other starters, there's nice details that make it really stand out from the originals. But if I glanced at Samurott, I could easily mix the two forms up.
ok, so I'm gonna dump some serious trivia about not only the new Genie but also the old originals: so they are all based about the Four Auspicious Beasts. four Chinese mythical beasts that are guardians of the directions of the world. they are the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West and the Black Tortoise of the North. grant it, the colors don't really match up, but considering they are also based on well known Kami that differ with elements and such like Wind, Thunder, the Earth and all that. so them being colored for the element they are makes more sense and seeing as Enamorus is party fairy, i can forgive it not being black and being pink. also like the design choice of it being a softshell tortoise than just a bland tortoise at that, considering how many Pokemon we have based on that animal.
So my take on the starters I loved what they were going for with Hisuian Decidueye, its so good, I love it to death. The colors are beautiful and its distinct enough from Alolan Decidueye to let it have its own flavor. Hisuian Typhlosion looks so weird, I think they need to give it the flames permanently to make it better but still, something about it being all sleek compared to Johtohian (?) Typhlosion is so off-putting to me. Now I think they got the concept of Samurott down here. I wish they could have done a little more and pushed the silhouette a bit , but for what they did I think its enough. He's an edgy pallet swap and by god do I love it. In the future they certainly need to go the direction of Decidueye, same concept as the og starter but pushed a bit towards the time period/ enough to make it distinct from the og. If we get another legends game (and please, GIVE US ANOTHER LEGENDS GAME), I want to see it take place in Unova, they could push the aethetics a bit to make it just around industrial age/ 1920s. From my understanding most pokemon regions are based around japan, so going for the feudal japan aesthetics would get stale fast. Having a Unova Legends game be a bit more modern but still in that "undeveloped lands" sort of area would be really fun to me. Ive personally never been too into feudal japan aesthetics so this is totally me just asking game freak to make "me" a pokemon game, but just another experience like Legends Arceus would be awesome.
So, being the huge Alola fan I am, I originally really hated Decidueye's new form, but after my Dartrix became Hisuian Decidueye, it actually started to grow on me.
Zoroark is based on Tamame No Mae, Growlithe and Arcanine are Komainu guardians but more prominently than the originals (Funny fact the Horns on their statues kept falling off which also happens to the Growlithe), Kleavor is based on Shibata Katsuie, Wyrdeer is based on how White Deer in Shinto mythos are messengers of god, Goodra and Sliggoo are based on the Shussebora along with Scaly foot snails and the Carcohl, Sneasler is a Kamatachi and an ice climber (It has ice pick claws and spiked tufts of fur on its feet for spiked boots), Avalugg is an icebreaking ship, Decidueye is a Ronin, Typhlosion is an Onmyoji Mage, Samurott is a Shogun, Palkia is based on the statue of the greek goddess Nike (which is why it has no arms), Enamourus is based on the White Snake Goddess of Wisdom and its therian form is based on the North Chinese Beast Genbu (With Thundurus being Seiryu, Tornadus being Suzaku and Landorus beying Byakko), Ursaluna is based on an Onikuma, Liligant is a Ballet dancer and a forest protector spirit, As for Overqwil im not 100% sure to be honest...it seems to be a Sea Mine and a Lionfish but other than that I'm not really sure where its ancient japanese inspiration is.
Ah yes typhlosion. my favorite water type

oh damn that's pretty cool
OMG thank you! A heart
Funnily enough, Lilligant moves A LOT so it looks significantly better than you may anticipate
Shoes are kinda weird though
Edit: after watching a Lockstin video, the shoes make a LOT more sense now
I agree with you on the shoes, it's supposed to be a ballerina not an ice skater. If it was then it would probably be ice instead
@@Cardinal_Skull i got a kinda jester vibe from it with the shoes, or a circus dancer
It was either shoes or feet and they were NOT giving lilligant feet
@@nettlesomenpc889 they easily could have gone the Gardevoir or Roserade route and given it points. Same idea though less directly inspired

@@Oblivi0usM I didn't like it at first but after playing, it's really grown on me
I love how almost all of the "bad" designs fucking rock when they are animated.
These angles just such for them.
Yeah the thing that ruins them is static images band bad angles
Palkia and Dialga are trying to mimic their creator, Arceus, and that's why they look weird since it's incomplete.
In my opinion, I think they look majestic
Oooo that’s kinda cool lore
@@GetMadz and six leg boi is a snake because he betrayed arceus honestly if they did those forms in the same game ( aka platinum) like gari it would make more sense
@@GetMadz Origin Dialga i grew to like overtime but Origin Palkia... nope.
This is why I refer to the forms as the "False God" forms, as they are trying to imitate god to get more power (I think)
Also it sounds cool
Ursaluna
Pros: Gives Ursaring more recognition, good ride Pokémon, good movepool and stats, unique evolution method.
Cons: Dreamworks Face Syndrome.
I just beat the game today, hisuian samurott looked bad at first but when it goes into combat? Man, any slicing attack he did was cool. Major fan of the jagged long sword/shell
Definitely agree, was gonna pick oshawott and not evolve it but samurotts special move looks amazing
How tf does it look bad?
@@senakuma9985 samurott is so small and kinda look pathetic because of it's size

true. just look at our prehistoric beasts
Yeah, but giratina’s origin form is really cool, so why couldn’t they have just stuck to the same design theme as giratina for the other two
@@sushi287 Because that form has different lore, in fact, its giratinas main form, the "standard" one is just its attempt at following the worlds physics or something
But Giratina looks badass in his Origin
I can’t believe I didn’t realize this before, I mean I still don’t like the designs, but lore wise that makes a ton of sense now dang.
Zorua/Zoroark is by far the best Hisuian form in this game. Sure I’m slightly biased towards anthromorpic characters, but I really like it.
The majority of them are anthropomorphic...
I think this version of the two pokemon is a lot more interesting than the originals, even if its just a slightly different design
@@WyspWyrm Yeah I agree with you.
@@WyspWyrm Also I think your PFP is cool
I just wanted to say, anyone who says that H.Zorua/Zoroark is ugly or badly designed should know that their opinions are wrong & mine is correct, & yes I am definetly biased
That Liligant evolution looked like one of those fairy spin toys from the early 2000's where you would pull the cord and it would fly into the air.
Eyyy, it's really awesome seeing you cover Legends Arceus, Madz! 😄
I find it funny he got Typhlosion's type wrong. It's a Fire type, not Water.
6:31 i do agree, personally I don't like the black they used and it probably would have looked better with the white that growlithe had but honestly I agree with your decisions they were smart
Edit: seriously though Diagla got a wave breaker lodged on his throat and all his colors drained while Palkia, what did they do to him?
Agreed
Honse
i think some bright gold or turquoise (like rusted copper on shrines) would make arcanine pop way more, the actual design has way too much grey
I agree it looks much nicer with the white
I beleive the reason is due to lore in a way, with Dialga's throat blocked it cant use roar of time and without palkia's arms it cant use spacial rend, though unfortunately they didnt go all the way with that concept because you can still use those moves just by different means, also I think they might sort of represent a biblically accurate beast or somethinf

To answer the question of why does samurott have a spike on its head, it's partly base on a Kirin, which is basically a dragon unicorn.

but now I've played it, a lot changed and I find most pokemon I hated rlly good when in-game
ofcourse I don't hate the ones I liked before
Kleavor getting a low score physically hurt me.
I'm gonna say it, I love decidueye.
I think the wings are smaller because they are representing the shoulder pads samurai where to protect themselves from arrows. And it's also based on the Chinese and Japanese aspect of archers, I love it and it's a strong pokemon.
8:34 Ah Yes, An Ice Type Representing Molten Rock
Sneasel (Bipedal, person shaped): "IT LOOKS TOO HUMAN!"
Liligant (also bipedal, has a more feminine form): "THIS IS SO COOL!"
Lilligant was somewhat humanoid from the start and has lore reasons, sneasler on the other hand, just looks like a Furry, for no reason.
okay so I saw this explained in the comments abouyt Enamourus and I think it explains how it fits SUPER WELL. but the Genies Therian forms are very resonant to the four chinese cardinal directions with North being Tornadus is the Vermillion Bird, Landorus is the White Tiger, Enamourus is the Black Tortoise and Thundurus (Possibly also the only one that is also even remotely close to the original color) is the Azure Dragon...

Hisuian Typhlosion looks so weird, I think they need to give it the flames permanently to make it better but still, something about it being all sleek compared to Johtohian (?) Typhlosion is so off-putting to me.
Now I think they got the concept of Samurott down here. I wish they could have done a little more and pushed the silhouette a bit , but for what they did I think its enough. He's an edgy pallet swap and by god do I love it.
In the future they certainly need to go the direction of Decidueye, same concept as the og starter but pushed a bit towards the time period/ enough to make it distinct from the og. If we get another legends game (and please, GIVE US ANOTHER LEGENDS GAME), I want to see it take place in Unova, they could push the aethetics a bit to make it just around industrial age/ 1920s. From my understanding most pokemon regions are based around japan, so going for the feudal japan aesthetics would get stale fast. Having a Unova Legends game be a bit more modern but still in that "undeveloped lands" sort of area would be really fun to me. Ive personally never been too into feudal japan aesthetics so this is totally me just asking game freak to make "me" a pokemon game, but just another experience like Legends Arceus would be awesome.
I don't think typlosion should have it's flames permanently it having it's flames all the time would go against it's chill nature
So, being the huge Alola fan I am, I originally really hated Decidueye's new form, but after my Dartrix became Hisuian Decidueye, it actually started to grow on me.
let's go another huge alola fan like me, I finally found one
@@TheRock3tDoctor it's my favorite region, and Ultra Sun is my favorite Pokemon game (though Legends Arceus may take that spot soon)
Zoroark is based on Tamame No Mae, Growlithe and Arcanine are Komainu guardians but more prominently than the originals (Funny fact the Horns on their statues kept falling off which also happens to the Growlithe), Kleavor is based on Shibata Katsuie, Wyrdeer is based on how White Deer in Shinto mythos are messengers of god, Goodra and Sliggoo are based on the Shussebora along with Scaly foot snails and the Carcohl, Sneasler is a Kamatachi and an ice climber (It has ice pick claws and spiked tufts of fur on its feet for spiked boots), Avalugg is an icebreaking ship, Decidueye is a Ronin, Typhlosion is an Onmyoji Mage, Samurott is a Shogun, Palkia is based on the statue of the greek goddess Nike (which is why it has no arms), Enamourus is based on the White Snake Goddess of Wisdom and its therian form is based on the North Chinese Beast Genbu (With Thundurus being Seiryu, Tornadus being Suzaku and Landorus beying Byakko), Ursaluna is based on an Onikuma, Liligant is a Ballet dancer and a forest protector spirit, As for Overqwil im not 100% sure to be honest...it seems to be a Sea Mine and a Lionfish but other than that I'm not really sure where its ancient japanese inspiration is.
Lockstin and Gnoggin just did a video about its origins. It's also a very educational video in general. Highly suggest you watch it.
Nah tell me why dialga built like squidward choking on a fork
"[Lilligant] isn't going to move much, this is game freak"
Honestly, some it am biased because i used him for the full game but i really like the new design for decidueye
4:59 aha they mistakingly used the fairy type symbol for psychic
Something I noticed, Palkia and Dialga are meant to resemble Arceus. Notice the lack of arms and horse-like body.
10:58 Typhlosion: water,ghost 😳😳
What do you use to animate?
