    Today, our old buddy Professor Plywood and his pal Snibble are taking us on an educational jaunt to the IKEA Region - a place full of Pokémon that have names suspiciously similar to the IKEA product catalogue! What sort of quirky critters will we find there?
    Based on an idea suggested by Michael Drasdo and Tara Peterson!

    Fun Fact: Most areas of the Ikea region are blocked off to the public, due to people constantly getting lost in the dense, maze-like forests. There have also been rumors of large, faceless humanoid pokemon baring Ikea uniforms.

    As a swede the Ikea names are always hilariously random:
    Pipig - squeaky
    Spruttig - squirty (yes I’m serious)
    Äpplarö - applepickers island (what)
    Högsma - Idk sounds like a town name
    Drabbling - the one who gets affected (“affectee” would be more correct)
    Vallentuna - a region in Sweden
    Synnerby - a village (“particular village” could be a translation of the name??)
    Grimar - grimacing
    Stuk - basically piece, but more section
    Tuffing - literally means “buff guy” or “tough guy” lol
    Antilop - antelope (at least he got this one right)
    Plugget - (the) studying haha
    Strandmön - the beach lady (but in a really really old fashion way, ”mö” is an old word for a fair graceful young woman)
    Galant - one who does something extravagantly perfect
    Blåhaj - great white shark (yes very creative name)
    also “blow high” is the corre ct Swedish pronounciation lol

    • @Toatrex
      @Toatrex Рік тому +15

      Depending on how well you train it, it could turn into either a Punk Togemon, Rapunzelmon, or Pompadramon. Of course if you treat it like garbage you'll probably just get a Shitty Slugmon. But that's alright, because Shitty Slugmon is the only way you can get the most powerful digimon in Ver. Gold: Death Botamon.

    I have a couple of ideas for future IKEA-product-named Pokémon!
    The "Jolpen" loveseat might be named after an electric penguin Pokémon (Possibly based on the rockhopper).
    The "Majgull" line of products might be named after a Psychic-type shorebird that's related to Wingull.
    The "Paddfisk" rug might be named after an evolution of Stunfisk.
    The "Vindum" rug might be named after a jungle-vine-clump-based convergent Pokémon that resembles Beldum.
    The "Langsted" rug might be named after a lobster Pokémon.
    The "Klippkaktus" line of products might be named after a steel-type cactus Pokémon.
    The "Sandmott" cushions might be named after a ground-dwelling motmot-based bird.
    The "Tomat" spray bottle might be named after a tomato vine Pokémon.
    The "Landkrabba" wall hooks might be named after a Ground-type hermit crab that's more closely related to Crabrawler and Klawf than Dwebble, or maybe a pre-evolution of Klawf.
    The "Barkass" pendant lamp might be named after a wooden donkey Pokémon.
    The "Passerad" double wall glass might be named after the early route bird, probably based on a sparrow.
    The "Platta" decking might be named after a platypus-based Pokémon.
    "Oxno" and "Oxberg" might be a two-stage evolution line that's an Ice-type ox.
    And I've heard that at one point, IKEA had a product called "Dito" which gave me an idea for what a regional form of Ditto would be like.

    Now, I get the whole theme of this video, but the SCP-3008 Pokémon is such low hanging fruit I have to commend your ability to resist doing it

    Once again, great concept, editing, presentation, drawings, etc. etc. etc. Favorite Ikean pokemon? Stuk got stuck on my heart as I love the surreal monstrosities type of creatures and a concept based on a piece of gum under a shoe is genius.
