Cool video, but there were some more Pokémon I think could have fit in this inorganic category: - Magearna is stated in their Pokédex entries to be created by a scientist 500 years ago, suggesting that they are actually a robot (especially since they are described of having an artificial soul). - The Golurk line are technically golems and not robots, but both Pokémon were stated to have been created by humans in a similar vein to robots, so they are inorganic beings. - The Regis (besides maybe Regigigias) I am pretty sure were all created by Regigigas themself. - Last but not least, most of the future Paradox Pokémon are stated (or implied) to be robots, with the sole exception of Iron Hands being a cyborg instead of an actual robot.
@@Rigamarolled Yeah I enjoyed the video and I am excited to see what the updated chart has in-store. Where would Sandy Shocks be in the inorganic section (since it is unique for being a metallic creature from millions of years ago)?
@MontyMoleLoreMaster well I’ve decided with the paradox Pokémon to keep them separate. They’re paradoxes and from a different timeline, so I’ve included them with the ultra beasts and other non-earth based Pokémon. I’m thinking I might include them on the chart in a different colour if I can’t find the space.
@@Rigamarolled So there will basically be a miscellaneous chart featuring stuff like aliens and robots that aren’t really connected in any biological way to other Pokémon? Something I also did want to point out is the fact that both the Magnemite and Metagross lines are confirmed to have brains (so I guess that means they are organic beings despite being completely metal).
@@Rigamarolled What about the Ghost type Pokémon that are reincarnated human souls? I am also wondering where the hell the Ageislash line would go (since obviously swords aren’t organic creatures lol)?
Couple of things- 1. What software do you use to make the genealogy map in these videos? I've been looking for one to use for my own projects. And 2. With regards to Parasect, wouldn't it be more accurate to place it in both the fungus and crustacean sections? Because of Paras's crabby parts still being relatively functional, they're effectively just two different organisms, the host and the parasite. If i had to guess, I'd put the host as being closely related to Crustle, as they both express similar behaviour of seeking protection from external sources, and of all the crustacean pokemon, they most closely resemble each other, and they both can be found in caves. They likely diverged due to differences in climate- Parasect can only survive in humid environments, so Crustle, which lives in drier climates, sought protection from boulders instead when areas which were once jungle slowly became desert. (Either that, or when Crustle moved into more humid areas, the ancestor of Parasect found its way into the holes Crustle bore into their armour, which trap moisture and allowed the fungus to thrive) On that note the fungus that affects Paras/ect seems to have adapted specifically to the bodies of one species of crustacean, and i believe the relationship between the two is actually more mutualistic than it appears. It still largely benefits the mushroom, but the host, despite losing its autonomy, can still reproduce, eat, and move, since the mushroom benefits from these things too. (Plants its spores in the offspring of its host, hence Paras is born with the parasite already in its system). The mushroom also seems to protect its host from predators in some way- Something like Pidgeotto would have a harder time getting to the crab meat with a poisonous mushroom in the way. It's not quite commensalism because clearly one species benefits more than the other, but it is a symbiotic relationship where both rely on each other to some extent. (Edit to add: if Parasect's host isn't a crustacean and is actually an insect i would place its closest relatives as Ninjask and Shedinja, and say that it's a neotenic branch of Nincada that reaches adulthood without metamorphosis, and until its symbiosis with Parasect, was purely subterranean)
The software is Libra Office Draw, it’s a free version of publisher. There is a great channel called useful charts which makes similar charts for historical family trees which inspired me. As for parasect, I get you, I might add a host part in the crustaceans. But I consider the mushroom to be the part that is actually the Pokémon, so I put it there, hope that clears it up.
Insanely underrated channel
You are right

Thanks for the comment, hope you like the video. My updated chart has a lot more changes I just haven’t got around to making videos on them.

@@RigamarolledThanks for that! And yeah, I get it, honestly just used this as an excuse to ramble lol
Isn't regice made entirely of ice?
Good point, I was going to put the golems off to one side with them being crafted by Regigigas
@@Rigamarolled makes sense too, didn't realise you took the pokedex into account
