Annihilape's Violet entry takes the cake for me - "It imbues its fists with the power of the rage that it kept hidden in its heart" - you mean that Primeape, who sometimes got so angry that it died, was actually relatively calm compared this guy?!
This implies that Primeape legitimately tried to control its anger, and the wrath we saw was just the tip of the irritation iceberg. I LOVE ominous lore like that.
No matter what region, no what game, there are always Pokédex entries to remind us of how terrifying it would be if Pokémon existed in the real world. Whether it be a ghost dog that drains your life force, or a parallel universe psuedo legendary that could wreck an entire town
Several Electric type species draining the power grid, Aron devouring entire infrastructures, certain species spiriting you to different dimensions or times, your mind being an open book to the Psychic type species, etc.
Squakabilly's are likely safe from Tinkaton because they aren't steel types. Tinkatinks get bullied by other steel types according to it's dex entry, and it seems to keep a vendetta against them into it's evolutions lol
Tinkatons are dwarves. They keep grudges, they're tiny and they're expert blacksmiths. They made their lists of mons who bullied them as kids and now they have the hammer to get even.
@@tompotter8703 according to the Scarlet entry for Tinkatuff, that is exactly what they do: "This Pokémon will attack groups of Pawniard and Bisharp, gathering metal from them in order to create a large and sturdy hammer."
@@WatsonDynamite So it's basically the Monster Hunter Pokemon. Get hammer, beat up monsters, make bigger hammer made of parts from those monsters, beat up bigger monsters.
What gets me is Annihilape, who I saw in a leak at like 3AM. "When its anger rose beyond a critical point, this Pokémon gained power that is unfettered by the limits of its physical body." "It imbues its fists with the power of the rage that it kept hidden in its heart." Primeape, who is known to track people down over any distance for the crime of having once existed within perceptible distance, THAT PRIMEAPE, was apparently holding itself back? That was it's calm side? Just got so angry it rose to a different plane of existance, then bound itself in flesh just to keep beating you.
That paranormal magazine is actually in the game and you can read it: it's called Occulture and various issues of it are on the shelves in the Uva Academy Entrance Hall.

i love that they gave primeape's corpse a chance to shine. and i do get more of a zombie/revenant vide from annihilape than a ghost vibe. it has one of the weights on its arms missing and the other cracked open, kinda like a body that was chained down but broke free when it came back. it has a very corpse like colour, pale and decayed. i love it.

Yeah it occurred to me that to evolve Primeape into Annihilape, you have to command your Primeape to die from rage. That's why it has the ghost type. That's pretty messed up when you think about it. Thanks Game Freak.

It's pretty nice to see them trying to bring up and elaborate on the ecosystem these creatures live in, it's great.
I'm now 100% certain that trainers are not allowed to bring this evolution line to Galar. Enough Tinkaton could probably break Galar's economy, what with their frequent reliance on Corviknight.
I already couldn't take regular Hydreigon seriously because it looks too much like an evil muppet, but the the dex entry for Iron Jugulis is just icing in the cake.
@@fivestarguy100 That’s definitely not true since all Pokemon can damage each other. And I just beat a Corviknight with my Tinkaton. Both its types are resisted by Corviknight which is kinda funny, but with that 160 Power move Tinkaton has it doesn’t really matter.
"Can you have 2 souls in a single Pokemon?" Why yes! In SV specifically you have Tandemaus which are 2 separate creatures but are a single Pokemon. Then it can evolve into a family of 3 or 4 separate creatures but still a single Pokemon. I know that comments was just something JWittz said in passing and not a serious question, but I finally knew a thing so I wanted to say it. Plus I find the Tandemaus/Maushold line really interesting.
I guess the requirement of what makes a Pokemon a full, single pokemon is if they are able to live and fulfill thier requirements as one being? Like a single egg from an exeggsecute can't function, a single falinks can't survive without the rest.
Tinkaton's pre-evolution oft states that they hunt metal to slowly but surely improve their hammers. Tinkatuff's entry even states they go hunting Pawniards and Bisharps to collect their metallic remains. So my guess is that Tinkaton is hunting Corviknight simply for its armor
Either way, I'm now assuming that Tinkaton and its pre-evolutions would be banned from entering Galar. Enough Tinkaton could grind that entire region to a halt.
I'm a bit surprised Naclstack's Scarlet dex entry wasn't mentioned here- it definitely took me and my brother aback. "This Pokémon dry cures its prey by spraying salt over them. The curing process steals away the water in the prey’s body."
I also like how in scarlet, the dex entry for froslass talks about how she finds people and pokemon she likes, freezes them and takes them back to it’s den as decorations.
You actually can read bits of that paranormal magazine in the academy's Entrance Hall. There are greenish books that stick out from the rest, and they each contain a blurb about a Paradox Pokemon. While nothing in those blurbs really sticks out, there's a student in the hall that describes the magazine as strange, so that Iron Jugulis dex entry is most likely something the magazine made up.
My girlfriend and I have a running joke with Maschiff sounding like Droopy, going "But I am intimidating...." And Annihilape kinda makes me think of when Akuma becomes Oni in Street Fighter IV. And Iron Jugulis screams of that Dr. Weird bit. "Gentlemen.....BEHOLD! I have made love to this MACHINE!!! And now, upon retrospect, I ask why.."
I'm actually disappointed you only covered the new Pokémon this time, because I've just learned from this game that a Jumpluff will die when it runs out of cotton spores. It's almost Spoink all over again with this one!
@@toumabyakuya They need to use their Cotton Spores to slow the opponent down, so by forgetting how to use the move, they probably slow down or outright stop the depletion of their Cotton Spores.
It's not just about the move, to be honest. Anything that strips away their spores would be deadly to Jumpluff. Hurricane? "It's super effective" does not cover the actual harm that move could do.
Also Spoink's PokéDex entry in Violet straight-up confirms that Spoink dies if it stops bouncing. In previous gens the PokéDex only said that Spoink's bouncing made its heart beat, implying that it would die if it stopped but not saying so outright. The Violet Dex just straight-up says that if Spoink stops bouncing, it dies.
Rabsca gets even weirder in the other games dex, where it says its believed the ball is an infant that it picked up along the way. Try and make those 2 entries both make sense at the same time
Rabsca is so tame in Scarlet compared to Violet, "An infant sleeps inside the ball. Rabsca rolls the ball soothingly with its legs to ensure the infant sleeps comfortably." AN INFANT????
@@Kahadi it’s the Pokémon’s eggs dude! That’s why it mentions an infant, it’s the infant grub of this pokemon, hidden in the mud, eating feces, & being spun around to sleep.
Think it would've been more fitting if Annihilape was more calm than Primeape since the Sun entry mentions that it "looks peaceful in death." But instead it just becomes even angrier somehow. Maybe it's because Annihilape "died" (there's a lot of implications that Ghost types are not inherently undead, for example the dead mother Marowak and Acerola's genuine ghost Mimikyu in the anime) that it gained newfound powers to bolster is rage even further
Oh no, it sounds like this very-much-alive Pokémon is channelling the spirits of its comrades who died from their own anger. It may be more akin to Basculegion for me.
Yeah, I guess annihilape might be an instance of primeape that’s anger was just so far past the regular Primeape rage threshold for dying it like spiritually died and revived as Annihilape instead, so maybe someday we might see the calm equivalent to it or something.
Greavard and Houndstone are so interesting and kind of disturbing to me- and I feel like I’m the only one! IT LOSES ITS SKIN WHEN IT EVOLVES INTO HOUNDSTONE. Like I get it, decomposition is obviously a real thing, but like I didn’t think I’d sort of see it in Pokémon!!
@@donovanjoseph737 It doesn't say it but it does happen. Greavard is just kind of a ghost dog and has hair, but Houndstone becomes a straight-up skeleton
@@donovanjoseph737 Exactly what Alex said- Greavard has flesh, specifically a cute little dog nose. But then when it evolves into Houndstone, its nose is gone, along with its skin. Look at pictures of the two and you’ll see it. Kinda dark for Nintendo but I like it
That might be it, but also that Pokedex entry was clearly taken from a magazine in the game world, Occulture, which is an obvious parody of real occult and supernatural magazines, like the ones that have articles like "Bigfoot is my father!" The Paradox Pokemon aren't common knowledge and just rumoured, unconfirmed sightings, much like real life cryptids, so the entries for them are speculation based on some random person's memories of a creature they swear they saw once.
Forget eat, how does it breath!? I seem to remember an early episode of the anime where a Dodrio got its necks tied in a knot and the doctor was worried about it strangling itself!
Tinkatink shoots at corvinight for their metal, hence why they won't attack non metalic birds. Their hammer is most likely made of metal from corvinights, especially since the shiny version has a hammer with similar colors to shiny corvinight (while the actual pokemon doesn't change at all).
I think Paradox Hydreigon’s dex entry might be a reference to Pulseman since that’s essentially Pulseman’s origin story, they’re the child of a scientist who fell in love with a Robot
I always figured that pokemon breeding was like a soul based thing, where they combine there soul power and produce an egg. That's why all kinds of wildly different pokemon can breed, despite the fact that they really shouldn't be able to. Because of this, I figured the Iron Jugulis was the product of this, between a Hydreigon and some kind of robot with a soul
Pokémon do not need to have one single design basis. Many are just mishmashes of difference concepts. Look at Eevee, fans have argued for so long about what it's based on that they never considered the possibility of _everyone_ being right.
Your oinkologne reaction reminds me of that meme of a lion being able to jump really far, but a reader thought it was vertically so they showed a silly photo of a lion jumping to an eagle
"this pokedex isn't as gorey as some others." Man missed scarlets entry for the fire version of tauros, where it literally talks about how it gores people and leaves thrid degree burns while doing so.
6:45 my headcannon is that Hydreigon fell in love with the paradox form of Magnimite, Sandy Shocks... Why? Cuz when I was planning out a sun team of scarlet paradox pokemon a stumbled onto a 5 star female Hydreigon raid. Thus the ship idea of Devastator the Hydreigon and Boltbarian the Sandy Shocks was born, and I can't stop imagining their dates just being them destroying stuff
0:50 its a whole story in its pre-evos, a pokemon that eats metal (most likely corviknights) eats their Bat/hammer. So when it evolves it takes revenge on them, thats why the parrots are cool with it.
Close but no. Corviknight doesn't eat metal. Nor do Pawniard and Bisharp, which Tinktatuff hunts. It's a little more... Violent than that. Tinkatuff says it hunts Pawniard and Bisharp and uses the metal it gets from them to improve its hammer. And Tinkaton steals whatever it wants. All of them use scrap metal they obtain to improve their hammers. Corviknight's feathers are stated to be made of Steel. Tinkaton hunts Corviknight, takes its feathers, and improves its hammer, or gives some of the scrap metal to Tinkatink and Tinkatuff to create and improve their hammers respectively.
Ever since I saw someone point out that Veluza is based off a Blue Hake, I have not been able to stop thinking about how delicious it would be. Glad to see the Pokedex confirming that
@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 I wonder how long it takes it to grow it again in universe, and if it really just grows back every time. Could you just catch half a dozen of them and live off their flesh indefinitely? Could you breed a few dozens and start a small restaurant?
Fun fact! The magazines exist in-game Most entries are in the School's library, which is also the entrance-hall, 2 of them can also be found in Arven's lighthouse, and all the magazines describe different Paradox pokemon (eg: Iron thorns actually loses the violent temper that normal Tyranitar have, whilst Iron Jugulis legit destroyed a building and flew off)
6:35 The description for Iron Jugulis seems to me like a reference to Pulseman, another Game Freak developed game for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. In that game, you are the titular Pulseman; the offspring of the human Dr. Yoshiyama and his AI supercomputer C-Life. How exactly can a human reproduce with a computer? Well, just like in this Pokedex entry, it's never elaborated upon further. Lovely.
That makes sense, but also consider that the magazine mentioned, Occulture, is an obvious parody of occult and cryptid magazines that are often full of ridiculous articles very much along the same lines
I’ve been watching your videos for a very long time- maybe since the beginning of your channel?- and they never cease to make me laugh out loud. Thank you for continually brightening my day! 💖
The entire Tinkatink line is a horror story. Hammer eaten by metal eaters, taking the body parts of pawniard and bisharp to forge a new hammer, aiming to take down crowscure from the sky? Adorable villain.
I've never had a chance to get a good look at Skeledirge or read its dex entries since I haven't been able to get one in a trade yet, but wow, learning that the little fireball on its head is a bird makes me like it even more.
For the Iron Jugulis: When you consider that Dex entry, the books in the academy, the after story with Arven and if you simply know what a Paradox actually is: That Dex entry might actually explain what all of these Pokemon ACTUALLY are with simply that first part of the sentence.... (Also: those books in the academy are the Magazines you're looking for I think)
1:08 One of Tinkatuff’s dex entries mentions how it attacks Pawniard and Bisharp so it can get their metal to improve its hammer. So I imagine that’s why its evolution attacks Corviknights and not Squawkabillys
Wholesome: Greavard resurrected itself to find love in a human, however i noticed how not only do stoutland and houndstone look alike but the ones who look more alike are maschiff, masbosstif and greavard and hounstone, could be both.
I'm pretty sure Iron Jugulis is not really the love child of a Hydreigon and a robot, but a Hydreigon converted into a cyborg from the future. After all, the description came from a paranormal/conspiracy magazine (and those magazines tend to feature weird and questionable articles and descriptions).
You're right that it probably isn't actually the offspring of a Hydreigon and a robot, but the actual origins, beyond coming from the future, are a mystery. Is it a cyborg? Is it an artificial Pokemon? Is it more comparable to Genesect, fossil Pokemon, or Porygon?
Fun fact: flamigo's neck resembles a "cure" for gerd called linx, in which you have a chain link implanted over your esophagus where it meets the stomach, preventing acid from leaving.
Greavard's entry is just sad, it was a dog pokemon once and died alone, that's terrible. Also i can't believe Covernight has an natural predator and it's a freaking dwarf with a hammer
It wouldn't surprise me that the symbol of Poké Britain has much less status in Poké Spain. These two nations have fought each other a lot more than they fought together.
I love all of these entries but one of my personal favorites is Wugtrio. "It has a vicious temperament, contrary to what its appearance may suggest. It wraps its long bodies around prey, then drags the prey into its den."
Ok that ending got me into laughter for some reason, probably because of how freaky it was, but I didn't even notice that wasn't how actual flamingos looked like.
Bro, they straight up put Recarm from the SMT series in Pokemon. If Triple battles ever come back, Revival Blessing, and Heal Pulse on a single Pokemon would be amazing for those.
Flamigo creeps me the heck out, it is way too similar to a normal flamingo, or rather, to a plastic flamingo. This, combined with its neck-twisting shenanigans, reminds me of the plastic flamingos SCP. Nope, I'm not in for this.

Yeah...that's what salt does in real life. Hence why people feel exceptionally thirsty after eating salty food.
I also like how in scarlet, the dex entry for froslass talks about how she finds people and pokemon she likes, freezes them and takes them back to it’s den as decorations.
Jabba the Froslass, huh?
Creepy but it's not new information.
That's literally just Lusamine lmao
Well frosslass is just a snow woman
@@tiddlez3948 well it was one of lusamine's pokemon right?
You actually can read bits of that paranormal magazine in the academy's Entrance Hall. There are greenish books that stick out from the rest, and they each contain a blurb about a Paradox Pokemon. While nothing in those blurbs really sticks out, there's a student in the hall that describes the magazine as strange, so that Iron Jugulis dex entry is most likely something the magazine made up.
Now I need to wait form him to recover form the Flamigo incident for the second part.
Aidos Flamigos!
My girlfriend and I have a running joke with Maschiff sounding like Droopy, going "But I am intimidating...."
And Annihilape kinda makes me think of when Akuma becomes Oni in Street Fighter IV.
And Iron Jugulis screams of that Dr. Weird bit. "Gentlemen.....BEHOLD! I have made love to this MACHINE!!! And now, upon retrospect, I ask why.."
Also from Droopy: "That makes me mad!"
I love this so much.
Iron Jugulis may be a reference to Hydreigon was originally conceived as a dragon tank combination.
or a dragon mecha.
because germany loves its engineering.
I love that im not the only one who remembers this
Mechagodzilla
Should've been Dragon/Steel.
I'm actually disappointed you only covered the new Pokémon this time, because I've just learned from this game that a Jumpluff will die when it runs out of cotton spores. It's almost Spoink all over again with this one!
And Cotton Spore is a move. What happens if it forgets it?.
@@toumabyakuya They need to use their Cotton Spores to slow the opponent down, so by forgetting how to use the move, they probably slow down or outright stop the depletion of their Cotton Spores.
It's not just about the move, to be honest. Anything that strips away their spores would be deadly to Jumpluff. Hurricane? "It's super effective" does not cover the actual harm that move could do.
Also Spoink's PokéDex entry in Violet straight-up confirms that Spoink dies if it stops bouncing. In previous gens the PokéDex only said that Spoink's bouncing made its heart beat, implying that it would die if it stopped but not saying so outright. The Violet Dex just straight-up says that if Spoink stops bouncing, it dies.
@@blazebardgames5939 Game Freak grew some balls since writing for Pokémon Legends Arceus.
Kinda sad you didn't mention Nacli's evolution who basically salt dries Pokemon alive until they lose all their moisture
That's the move Salt Cure for you.
The power to absorb moisture taken to its most horrific conclusion
Salt Cure is a nuts move
reasons why water-bending would actually be really terrifying in real life
@@Broomer52 As Mr. 0 has shown way back when.
TheJWitts: 'Can we have two souls in one Pokemon?'
Spiritomb: 'Allow us to introduce ourselves...'
I was just thinking that myself
Rabsca gets even weirder in the other games dex, where it says its believed the ball is an infant that it picked up along the way. Try and make those 2 entries both make sense at the same time
Simple, they fused. Similar to Spiritomb.
Constantly being reborn in it's ball as an egg and in it's physical body, meaning it's essentially immortal
Rabsca is so tame in Scarlet compared to Violet, "An infant sleeps inside the ball. Rabsca rolls the ball soothingly with its legs to ensure the infant sleeps comfortably." AN INFANT????
That seems to contradict the Scarlet entry though, suggesting that the ball is the Pokemon. So is it an infant, or is it the main Pokemon?
@@Kahadi not a contradiction at all. It's growing a new body to swap souls with. Yknow like, growing a clone to upload your brain into
@@Kahadi it’s the Pokémon’s eggs dude! That’s why it mentions an infant, it’s the infant grub of this pokemon, hidden in the mud, eating feces, & being spun around to sleep.
Yeah. Like. A baby Pokémon?? Why is that weird? Especially with its rebirth theme it’s pretty obvious what it’s talking about
We always talking about TinkaTon attacking Corvinknights, but never Tinkatuff killing and taking the body parts of Bisharp
Think it would've been more fitting if Annihilape was more calm than Primeape since the Sun entry mentions that it "looks peaceful in death." But instead it just becomes even angrier somehow. Maybe it's because Annihilape "died" (there's a lot of implications that Ghost types are not inherently undead, for example the dead mother Marowak and Acerola's genuine ghost Mimikyu in the anime) that it gained newfound powers to bolster is rage even further
Oh no, it sounds like this very-much-alive Pokémon is channelling the spirits of its comrades who died from their own anger. It may be more akin to Basculegion for me.
Yeah, I guess annihilape might be an instance of primeape that’s anger was just so far past the regular Primeape rage threshold for dying it like spiritually died and revived as Annihilape instead, so maybe someday we might see the calm equivalent to it or something.
it becomes calmer in death. But now it is undead, so that is different.
No, its rage kept it alive as a ghost. It was too angry to die
Greavard and Houndstone are so interesting and kind of disturbing to me- and I feel like I’m the only one! IT LOSES ITS SKIN WHEN IT EVOLVES INTO HOUNDSTONE. Like I get it, decomposition is obviously a real thing, but like I didn’t think I’d sort of see it in Pokémon!!
Where does it say that?
@@donovanjoseph737 It doesn't say it but it does happen. Greavard is just kind of a ghost dog and has hair, but Houndstone becomes a straight-up skeleton
@@donovanjoseph737 Exactly what Alex said- Greavard has flesh, specifically a cute little dog nose. But then when it evolves into Houndstone, its nose is gone, along with its skin. Look at pictures of the two and you’ll see it. Kinda dark for Nintendo but I like it
1:19 probably because Tinkaton most likely do it for their metal according to the preevolution deck entries, Squakabilly aren't Steel type
4:21 "Can you have two souls in one Pokemon?!?!"
Spiritomb: "..."
Also: Kangaskhan, Falinks, Binacle, Barbaracle, etc.
The Iron Jugulis entry sounds more like a poorly translated version of "love child". Iron Jugulis looks like the love child of Hydreigon and a Robot.
That might be it, but also that Pokedex entry was clearly taken from a magazine in the game world, Occulture, which is an obvious parody of real occult and supernatural magazines, like the ones that have articles like "Bigfoot is my father!" The Paradox Pokemon aren't common knowledge and just rumoured, unconfirmed sightings, much like real life cryptids, so the entries for them are speculation based on some random person's memories of a creature they swear they saw once.
Basically, the entries citing Occulture should be taken with as much salt as those for Galar's fossil abominations.
Forget eat, how does it breath!? I seem to remember an early episode of the anime where a Dodrio got its necks tied in a knot and the doctor was worried about it strangling itself!
I remember that episode. "I'm a people doctor."
Tinkatink shoots at corvinight for their metal, hence why they won't attack non metalic birds.
Their hammer is most likely made of metal from corvinights, especially since the shiny version has a hammer with similar colors to shiny corvinight (while the actual pokemon doesn't change at all).
Literally a savage shiny hunter
Shiny Corviknight is silver in color, the hammer of Tinkaton in shiny is brown...
I think Paradox Hydreigon’s dex entry might be a reference to Pulseman since that’s essentially Pulseman’s origin story, they’re the child of a scientist who fell in love with a Robot
I always figured that pokemon breeding was like a soul based thing, where they combine there soul power and produce an egg. That's why all kinds of wildly different pokemon can breed, despite the fact that they really shouldn't be able to. Because of this, I figured the Iron Jugulis was the product of this, between a Hydreigon and some kind of robot with a soul
I believe it's pretty well confirmed to just be Arceus doing everything
Flamigo is also based on a balloon animal hence the twist its neck into a knot to prevent the energy from coming out.
And I think it's also based on not just a real flamingo, but a plastic garden flamingo as well.
it mixes elements of a real living flamingo
and the fact that decoration flamingos outnumber the total population of the real living species.
Why do you say it's based on a balloon animal? The neck thing is the closest hint to such a thing...
Pokémon do not need to have one single design basis. Many are just mishmashes of difference concepts. Look at Eevee, fans have argued for so long about what it's based on that they never considered the possibility of _everyone_ being right.
It’d be fun if we had Pokedex entries that were meant to be darkly humorous in future games
I mean… are some of these not?
6:55
JWittz: HOW WERE YOU BORN?!!!
Iron Jugulis: "NANOMACHINES, SON!!!"
Annialiape sounds like a lvl 20 barbarian from dnd that just refuses to die and will fight anyone who tries to end them to the death and beyond
Zealot Barbarian in a nutshell
Your oinkologne reaction reminds me of that meme of a lion being able to jump really far, but a reader thought it was vertically so they showed a silly photo of a lion jumping to an eagle
"this pokedex isn't as gorey as some others." Man missed scarlets entry for the fire version of tauros, where it literally talks about how it gores people and leaves thrid degree burns while doing so.
6:45 my headcannon is that Hydreigon fell in love with the paradox form of Magnimite, Sandy Shocks... Why? Cuz when I was planning out a sun team of scarlet paradox pokemon a stumbled onto a 5 star female Hydreigon raid. Thus the ship idea of Devastator the Hydreigon and Boltbarian the Sandy Shocks was born, and I can't stop imagining their dates just being them destroying stuff
That's adorable
0:50 its a whole story in its pre-evos, a pokemon that eats metal (most likely corviknights) eats their Bat/hammer. So when it evolves it takes revenge on them, thats why the parrots are cool with it.
Close but no. Corviknight doesn't eat metal. Nor do Pawniard and Bisharp, which Tinktatuff hunts.
It's a little more... Violent than that. Tinkatuff says it hunts Pawniard and Bisharp and uses the metal it gets from them to improve its hammer. And Tinkaton steals whatever it wants. All of them use scrap metal they obtain to improve their hammers.
Corviknight's feathers are stated to be made of Steel.
Tinkaton hunts Corviknight, takes its feathers, and improves its hammer, or gives some of the scrap metal to Tinkatink and Tinkatuff to create and improve their hammers respectively.
4:20 "But can you Have 2 Souls in 1 Pokémon?" I Think Spiritomb wants to have a chat with you
8:06-8:09 That was both extremely creepy and extremely hilarious at the same time.
Oh owowow Ow AAAAA
Ever since I saw someone point out that Veluza is based off a Blue Hake, I have not been able to stop thinking about how delicious it would be. Glad to see the Pokedex confirming that
Now I can imagine a Veluza bringing its own flesh it discarded to its trainer after battling.
@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 I wonder how long it takes it to grow it again in universe, and if it really just grows back every time. Could you just catch half a dozen of them and live off their flesh indefinitely? Could you breed a few dozens and start a small restaurant?
Flamigo is a pink boxing glove(from the side) and its feet are the shoe lace you tie the gloves close. Hence the fighting type.
I love that the new spider pokemon pretty much picks fights with scyther..
I failed the Maschiff test. It's just too ridiculous and cute.
Also I did not need that body horror jumpscare at the end.
I'll just say that as a fan of Ghost type pokemon and a fan of Primeape, Annihilape brings me joy
Oh thank god the king of Pokémon is back !!!!
The real OG of Pokémon UA-cam
Fun fact!
The magazines exist in-game
Most entries are in the School's library, which is also the entrance-hall, 2 of them can also be found in Arven's lighthouse, and all the magazines describe different Paradox pokemon (eg: Iron thorns actually loses the violent temper that normal Tyranitar have, whilst Iron Jugulis legit destroyed a building and flew off)
When going to the shelves and press the button used for talking to the characters, the comment talks about the magazines.
@@LuigiTheMetal64 yes
That ending was genuinely kinda scary and definitely unexpected xD
Robot: "I made love to this Pokemon! And yet, upon retrospect, I ask Why?"
This is probably one of the oldest series I've ever been subscribed to.
11 YEARS AND RUNNING, can't stop won't stop
Chad
I hope the series never stops
6:35 The description for Iron Jugulis seems to me like a reference to Pulseman, another Game Freak developed game for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.
In that game, you are the titular Pulseman; the offspring of the human Dr. Yoshiyama and his AI supercomputer C-Life. How exactly can a human reproduce with a computer? Well, just like in this Pokedex entry, it's never elaborated upon further. Lovely.
That makes sense, but also consider that the magazine mentioned, Occulture, is an obvious parody of occult and cryptid magazines that are often full of ridiculous articles very much along the same lines
That ending did to me what you did to that flamingo 🤣🤣🤣
That was pure nightmare fuel.
Why is one of the Dex entries for Iron Jugulis have to be about Hydreigon breeding with a robot?
How does that even, I, what in Arceus’ name!?
Is this the Pokémon Past and Future people were theorizing about?
Maybe but I think they made robots for Pokémon that have a low population to mate with to keep the species alive
I think in reality, it's not a love child between a Hydreigon and a robot, but a Hydreigon converted into a cyborg (similar to Genesect).
@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 yeah I can see that
I’ve been watching your videos for a very long time- maybe since the beginning of your channel?- and they never cease to make me laugh out loud. Thank you for continually brightening my day! 💖
Gotta say, I actually really love this generation's set of new Pokemon. So weird, so wild, very crazy, I'm all for it.
The entire Tinkatink line is a horror story. Hammer eaten by metal eaters, taking the body parts of pawniard and bisharp to forge a new hammer, aiming to take down crowscure from the sky? Adorable villain.
I've never had a chance to get a good look at Skeledirge or read its dex entries since I haven't been able to get one in a trade yet, but wow, learning that the little fireball on its head is a bird makes me like it even more.
By using Rage Fist 20 times, Primeape became so angry that it died...by evolving into the part Ghost type Annahilape.
For the Iron Jugulis:
When you consider that Dex entry, the books in the academy, the after story with Arven and if you simply know what a Paradox actually is: That Dex entry might actually explain what all of these Pokemon ACTUALLY are with simply that first part of the sentence....
(Also: those books in the academy are the Magazines you're looking for I think)
1:08 One of Tinkatuff’s dex entries mentions how it attacks Pawniard and Bisharp so it can get their metal to improve its hammer. So I imagine that’s why its evolution attacks Corviknights and not Squawkabillys
Wholesome: Greavard resurrected itself to find love in a human, however i noticed how not only do stoutland and houndstone look alike but the ones who look more alike are maschiff, masbosstif and greavard and hounstone, could be both.
“Can you have two souls in one Pokémon?”
Spiritomb:
😂😂😂
That Paradox Pokedex entry literally read like a fanfiction LMAO
That's because the entry is taken from a magazine that is a parody of occult and cryptid magazines
So, Primeape literally awakens the Satsui no Hado and becomes "Akumape"
I'm pretty sure Iron Jugulis is not really the love child of a Hydreigon and a robot, but a Hydreigon converted into a cyborg from the future. After all, the description came from a paranormal/conspiracy magazine (and those magazines tend to feature weird and questionable articles and descriptions).
It happened with Genesect, only it was from the other temporal direction.
You're right that it probably isn't actually the offspring of a Hydreigon and a robot, but the actual origins, beyond coming from the future, are a mystery. Is it a cyborg? Is it an artificial Pokemon? Is it more comparable to Genesect, fossil Pokemon, or Porygon?
J, I think the magazine is a reference those insane tabloids back in the day with headlines like "Kidnapped and made love with the wolfman!"
Yes, it definitely is. Also, the magazine is in the games for you to read, Occulture.
8:05 OH GOD! That scared there crap out of me!
Always happy to see a JWittz video pop up in my feed :)
5:50 Well, Hulk (and other gamma mutates) did have a recentish revelation that they're basically immortal.
Fun fact: flamigo's neck resembles a "cure" for gerd called linx, in which you have a chain link implanted over your esophagus where it meets the stomach, preventing acid from leaving.
Greavard's entry is just sad, it was a dog pokemon once and died alone, that's terrible. Also i can't believe Covernight has an natural predator and it's a freaking dwarf with a hammer
It wouldn't surprise me that the symbol of Poké Britain has much less status in Poké Spain. These two nations have fought each other a lot more than they fought together.
5:40 is the funniest thing I've ever seen in a TheJWittz video.
The magazine is called Occulture, you can find them around the entrance hall in the academy.
Ive never even played a pokemon game but I love watching these pokedex entry videos
Can you have 2 souls in a pokemon?
Spiritomb: Am I a joke to you?
I love all of these entries but one of my personal favorites is Wugtrio. "It has a vicious temperament, contrary to what its appearance may suggest. It wraps its long bodies around prey, then drags the prey into its den."
Imagine the 3 heads get confused about who’s doing the dragging and their prey kinda just gets stuck to the surface of the rock
Weird irony when you have both tinkaton and corvaknght on the same team.
“How can an organic being reproduce with a robot?”
Hi Krillin.
Fuecoco's final evo is now a daddy to a fire bird.
Ok that ending got me into laughter for some reason, probably because of how freaky it was, but I didn't even notice that wasn't how actual flamingos looked like.
If you look at the pokedex entries for the Tinks, I don't think Tinkaton's eating Corvinkights
He grafts Corviknights body into his hammer
sweet i was just watching the older vids while waiting for this version of entries to come out :D
Love the video! Me and my son always watch them together. Today's my son's birthday so it was a nice gift to watch this one today!
Happy birthday! Thanks for watching my stuff over the years
I finally found your channel again after what feels like 10 years and boy, I gotta say, it's good to be back. Thank you for making my childhood!
That ending was amazing! subscribed
Bro, they straight up put Recarm from the SMT series in Pokemon.
If Triple battles ever come back, Revival Blessing, and Heal Pulse on a single Pokemon would be amazing for those.
that ending had me dead lol
Flamigo creeps me the heck out, it is way too similar to a normal flamingo, or rather, to a plastic flamingo. This, combined with its neck-twisting shenanigans, reminds me of the plastic flamingos SCP. Nope, I'm not in for this.
