  • In Pokemon, there are several genres that many of the Pokemon themselves fall into, such as Starter Pokemon, Legendary Pokemon, and so on. In today's video, I am going to rank every single one of these genres from worst to best in my own opinion, and some of the rankings might surprise you! 👀

      It also makes sense for fighting types, the type of pokemon literally known for training constantly to have items to help with that. And even for the ones that aren´t fighting type. They are pretty interesting because these kind of pokemon get a unique and pretty distinctive fighting style thanks to the objects they use to fight, their objects are tied to the concept for their design and are made from things that they made or found in nature.

Mantine that literally takes a Remoraid under its wing upon evolution, Slowbro and Slowking that have a symbiotic relationship with that “thing” the anime tried to pass off as a Shellder, and Drakloak and Dragapult that carry around Dreepy with them and even incorporates them into the final evolution’s signature move.

    Regarding Pokémon carrying an object.
    Some Pokémon have a good reason why they carry a certain object, like Conkeldurr, for example. Some of its Pokédex entries states that it knows how to make concrete by itself, and it even taught people how to do it in ancient time. Timburr can just find a random log in a wild. And there's more with great reasons. Like yeah, some Pokémon have no reason for carrying objects, but still some Pokémon with good reason need to be credited at least. Or just do a little bit researching before making a conclusion on some Pokémon. Oh, and a reason why some Pokémon carry an exact same looking object is because Game Freak does not want to make for every single Pokémon an individually looking object. :)

    Zacian doesn’t always have the sword in its design and only carries it when you give it the Rusted Sword since it’s actually using it to fight.
    Also, I would say that other Pokémon that are known for holding objects likely have an instinct that makes them seek out those items since they seem to aid in their fighting capabilities in some way. Probably for simplicity sake, the games just have the Pokémon already have their signature objects when you catch/hatch/evolve them.

  • @Eucalyptus_Yeehan
    @Eucalyptus_Yeehan Рік тому +3

    I think some genres that could fit into this list would be:
    -Shiny Pokémon
    -Pokémon that are not what they seem (Pokémon like Mimikyu, galarian sunfisk, Amoongus and maybe even ditto, that hide their themselves or look/pretend to look like something else)
    -Separating the furrbait genre on this video into 2, being the furrybait pokemon (adding mons like Incineroar or Lopunny) , and the Mascot/commercialized Pokémon (adding Pikachu, Greninja etc.)
    -Pokémon with multiple evolution forms like eevee or Kirlia
    -Pokémon that should be one type but aren't (kinda like the dragon/not dragon thing, with Pokémon like Groundon being related to heat but not being part fire type or Florgeous being the garden Pokémon but not being grass)
    -Controversial Pokémon, Pokémon that have caused controversy one way or another like Porygon or Jynx (tho I'd understand If we didn't include this one bc it can be a controversial topic)
    - And lastly the "introduction/Professor" Pokémon, this having all the Pokémon that the professors of each region introduce you to when you start the game, like Juniper's Cinccino or Kukuis Rockruff

    • @daniel6678
      @daniel6678 Рік тому +1

      -dunno about shinies, since that category includes literally every mon lol
      -pokemon pretenders is a good category! voltorb/electrode, wishiwashi, and klefki would all also work here
      -definitely agree that "mascot" mons could be their own group. any of the mons in smash would work
      -split evos are a great group since they all each kind of have distinct personalities across their pairs (think slowbro vs slowking, or glalie vs froslass)
      -I really like that last category too, and you could even include other mons that are integral to the "intro" part of the story, like the zigzagoon that corners birch or the starly that attacks at lake verity

    Really interesting list! Wondering why you didn't include some pokemon in the smaller genres you had, like at least two widely acknowledged furry bait pokemon (Delphox and Zeraora, maybe Lopunny) and at least one widely acknowledged payoff pokemon (Wimpod, maybe Larvesta and Beldum). Also wondering why you didn't include eeveelutions since it's one of the most widely acknowledged genres, but makes sense if it's because they're all a single evolution line. Cool concept for a video.

    Regarding road blocking Pokémon, I’m not sure psyduck should count since they weren’t designed as such and were used to block a route in a game 3 generations after their debut.
    However I would posit that Crustle count. They are used to block progress a couple times through the gen 5 games, particularly at the seaside cave.

    For roadblocking pokemon, the group is larger than just Snorlax, Sudowoodo, and Kecleon. In Gen 4 you have the psyduck blocking the road to Celestic town, in Gen 5 you have the Crustle Blocking Route 4 in B2W2, and even Gen 8 has Wooloo blocking part of Route 1 after you complete the Slumbering Weald initial quest.

    There's also the Psyduck in Gen 4 who block your path and Crustle in Gen 5, Gen 6 has Snorlax again and Gen 7 in a way has Tauros and Stoutland (including the people they're with), Gen 8 has Corviknight in one spot at least. They didn't stop doing these.
    If you only want to include the ones you yourself need to do something about then it's at least up to Gen 5 and 6, since the Tauros/ Stoutland/ Corviknight are more story forced blocks that go away on their own.
