Own up to your mistake about Leon and Iris being related.
Nordpass looked like N word pass to me
Is TrueGreen7 invited to voice act Pokemon Cardinal
Why does no one every talk about Hop's name? So many people still laugh about it since they don't know the meanings behind it. He's named after a plant that has significance in the UK beer brewing industry. But more importantly, it's one of the fastest growing plants in the world "Hop shoots grow very rapidly, and at the peak of growth can grow 20 to 50 centimetres (8 to 20 in) per week." I think that's ment to represent Hop's growth throughout the game and one of the most wildly vary teams ending up with you fighting against a legendary in his final team.
What?! I must have not been paying attention to the trailer for the expansion pass since I had no idea what the characters you encounter in the train station in Wedgehurst were named at first I thought that they might be gym leaders that were version exclusive but now that I know that they are just version exclusive rivals make sense to me. So, im very thankful for your videos clarifing something so simple to rememeber.
So no mention of Bede being left handed?
I can't be the only one to notice.
Right?
I noticed too, you are not alone :]
I also noticed.
Funnily enough, both Bede and Allister are the only lefties in the game
Me too
Hold up what, I just saw an arrogant little piece of purrloin whenever I saw Bede
Hop's hair looks like a crown? And here I was thinking that his hair looked like an artichoke.
lol
I always thought his hair was reminiscent of the hop plant he's named after
When I saw the trailer for sw/sh I thought for some reason it was braids
I think it looks like a pinecone.
@@simeonwashington9995 hop is a type of plant?!
Actually, green's team in let's go all evolving with stones is a reference to her title from the manga, where she's known as "The Evolver"
DLG Triple D yay fellow manga fan!
I can’t believe I read the Manga many times and didn’t pick up on that.
I was literally thinling the exact same thing. I wish they would have givem her the team she has in the manga, though. Also, I am so used to calling her Blue because of Adventures. 😅
@@Dandylion567 she's still called green in all translated versions of the manga...
DLG Triple D Green should replace Steven
My favourite rival is silver but don't understand why he had red eyed in the soul silver intro animation. Great video Hoops
@Pott Rott or smoked an weed oddish..
Different universe different look.
maybe its supposed to be intimidating I guess?
I always thought Hops hair looked like the actual plant.
Same
Like Absorb Bulb
Like the original Black and White versions, why don’t every Pokémon game have 2 rivals that travel with you to choose your Starter Pokémon?
Does that even matter? I mean what does that even change
@@crystalaria4840 It doesn't leave you wondering what happens to the third starter and Cheren and Bianca are actually symbolic to Black and White.
Pokemon SwSh gives us closure too! When you pick your starter, Hop chooses the type weak to to while Leon keeps the type stronger to it. I remember when I first realized that this was the case, I started planning what my actual team against the Champion would be xD
The games should do these more often!
@@bin6549
Also Cheren means black as bianca means white
@@Megumidah exactly! ^^
Brock was the last leader of Hyrule.
3:44 Igneel the fire dragon? Pretty fitting for charizard to be honest.
I dont see a dragon
Yup
Gonna say it out louder my dude. You deserve more subscribers with this quality of Pokémon content. ♥️
Alright I'll be honest. When I first saw Bede, I thought he was an old woman
Dont most people
I could tell he was a boy 😳
Which is funny because he replaces opal, who is a old lady.
Yep I did too
Same here Jimmy
9:07 doesn’t bill Rogers also voice prince Sidon I think that was his name I’m not sure I haven’t played botw
Here’s a fun fact about the player character’s room in sword and shield, the switch in there has the same joy cons as your real switch, mine has pink and green joy cons in real life, and pink and green joy cons in the game too
This video reminded me of how amazing the Ruby and Sapphire manga was.
13:19 Subtle romance? Serena's was a blunt as a speeding freight train to the face, and Ash's was practically nonexistent. Also there was no situational reason for Pikachu to zap Serena. Misty, May, and Dawn's bike, and Iris were all collateral damage from a battle or other situation where Pikachu unleashed an electric attack. As for Bonnie she accidently over annoyed Pikachu and he lashed out in defense. (Similar to the opening of Johto episode A Bout with Sprout.)
Prety sure Iris, Bonnie, and Mallow were the only female companions that didn't have a crush on Ash, I'm still not sure about Gou
@@DanielPereira-ey9nt I don't think Dawn or May did either. They had more like brother/sister style relationships.
@@SupermarketSweep777 they definitely did, May's was more brief and subtle but had it's movements, Dawn was a bit less subtle as she got teased about it a few times and a boy that liked her got jealous and challenged the oblivious Ash to a battle for her love, just like what happened to Misty in the orange league
@@DanielPereira-ey9nt May perhaps but much less on Dawn. Sure Lyra asked her but Dawn stated she never really gave it any thought. Kenny had a crush on Dawn for sure, but she still wanted to support Ash as a friend. But at the end she did say Kenny looked handsome too.
@@DanielPereira-ey9nt you know Drew exists right and he is Mays love interest not ash
5:41 which scene is that from
So the anime made Ethan’s name canon
I think it's zoruak & master of illusions movie it makes sense to me because it came out after heartgold & soulsilver came out in Japan
I don't remember the anime mentioning Ethan's name so no idea where hoops got that info from
No Ethan in the anime it's known as Jimmy and ash battled Ethan/Jimmy in the beginning of the zoroark movie
I wonder if Masters will finally confirm Silver's name
In my ruby play through, wally fainted Ralts😱
I never ever encountered a shiny. EVER
SO it means I was way lucky that time to witness that
But imagine Wally defeating a shiny Ralts
GalliantGallade 2005 😨😨
Does cardinal have a release date yet
DiamondTrainer yea you can skip time by going on an adventure an forget it exists
I don't know If i am the only one that sees It, but for me, Hop's name and the spiky parts of his hair are pretty inspired by the plant Hop (you know, the one used to make beer?). His hair looks a Lot like this plant upside down!
The female characters have so much better Designs D:
tbh, I always love Calme's design better than Serena, same with Johto's player (Ethan's)
I think they have more variety, but not necessarily better designs. Like Wallace? Easily prettier and a way more interesting silhouette then a lot of the female characters
My favorites are May's Ruby/Sapphire look, Dawn's Diamond/Pearl look (particularly in the anime with her much more vividly blue hair), and Serena's.
ok horny
I disagree
In the B2W2 manga, the Rosa and Nate’s new names are Blaine and Whitley, both names that were cut from the BW game
Another small detail is Hop is a trainer that does not seem that strong because he often loses to you but you are insanely powerful, Hop is actually insanely strong. So a character that seams weak but is actually very strong, sound familiar. Now look at his jacket. Blue with white puffs at the top. Kinda like everybody’s favorite pun loving skeleton from Snowdin! SANS!
-Hop is Sans confirmed-
• Hop • 《Pokémon》 Heck Yeah
Hop's hair is more so inspired by beer hops I think, same shape and namesake! love the crown idea too tho
Next, please do a fact/trivial video on the evil teams (admin and boss) if possible???
Great video! I think a Legendary and Mythical facts vid would be amazing!
I'm pretty sure Selene is pronounced sel-lee-nee like the Greek word for the moon.
Also, Elio? Is it not Helio like the prefix for something sun-related?
And I don't see Gladion as a rival since he is never trying to achieve the same goals as you in the game except for the times you work together.
The name is Elio but it is based on the name Helios
Helios is the name of the sun in greek mythology which is where the prefix comes from. The English equivalent would be Elio
Most people pronounce Selene as Sell-een
Fun fact : Cyrus' french name is Helio.
Bede wasn’t trying to achieve the same goal as the player either and he was a rival.
11:37 I swear, every time I see a clip from Gen 5, it makes it look even better then before. This looks *sooooo* good!
15:19. Silver stole his starter to be a dick
Gladion stole type null to protect it just like Lillie did with nebby
The intentions were different
U didn’t mention gladion in the anime
Haven’t watched the video yet, but I’m sure it’ll be VERY INTERESTING
9:06)
"King Rhoam, what is your decree?"
"Mag! Magmor-Mag-Magmortar."
2:56 i thought leaf and green where the same charecters
I suggest to read the pokemon adventures for more interesting fact about the characters.
I haven't been able to find any reference to Cheren's rare dialogue... is it definitely true?
Wait, so Leaf and Green aren't the same character?
Yes but also no
Yes they are I don't know why he separated them
They are the same character only difference is the name
No, Leaf is the FR/LG protagonist while Green is the manga character who also is in the Let's Go games. Green never appears in anything outside of mangas and the Let's Go games as of now. Leaf is commonly portrayed as the counterpart to Red while Green is not.
@@crazyweirdgirl4488 But I mean Green wears Leaf's Fired Red/Leaf Green outfit at one point in the manga ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
hoops not to mention also the fact that the female protagonist in pokemon let's go also happens to share the same name as Elaine from Seinfeld!.
You have to be kidding about Victor's official number. I largely stayed away from Sword and Shield during their promotional period and initial release so I really didn't know much about either. When I got to where you register for the gym challenge I was trying to think of a good number. I decided to use the release date of my first Pokemon game which was Pokemon Blue which means I chose 227. Crazy how things like that can happen.
Leaf and Green are supposed to be the same character, and their canon english name is Green.
Concerning Hop, his hair is also very likely a reference to the fruits of the hop plant. They look practically identical.
Hilda's and Hilbert's name come from a German word meaning battle?!
I don't know if I'm just dumb right now, but I'm German and I really have no clue what word you could mean :/
Hop’s hair is actually a reference to his namesake, the hop. And given that their hometown is supposed to represent a Scottish town it is a tangential reference to Guinness beer.
Hop's hairstyle also kinda looks like the hops that beer is made out of
Glad I got to know more about the protagonists and their rival's,
Green stole her starter (Blastoise) too but to know that you'd have to read the manga
And here I thought Hau was named after Hau'Oli city XD
I really hope the one about Hop and Leon is true! It’s so cool!
Hop's hair also looks like a hop plant so there's that
Also, Hau and Hop shares a lot of animations
Wait, there's a sword and shield manga?
Hops hair also resembles an acorn, which was a small push to him becoming a pokemon professor. His name also can mean a type of tree, the hop tree. So, :O
Where did you get the beginning clip from with all the characters?
I always play the games in Japanese and the names of Blue and Green are such a mind fuck because they're opposite in Japanese. Since the original release games in Japan were Red and Green, the player is Red and the rival is Green, because Blue didn't exist yet. So the girl in Let's go is named Blue, after the girl in the manga. And her dress has Blue trim! I can't think of her as anything but Blue. So it's hard when speaking about the games in English. XD
Mark my words, if there will be a Pokemon Direct in 10-11 months announcing D/P remakes for late 2021 with an epic/nostalgic trailer showing Lucas, Dawn, Pearl and prof. Rowan I will die from happiness.
When I played through Let's Go I had noticed you get a signed photograph from the electric gym leader which also appears in Sun & Moon in your bedroom which indicates you are the same person in Sun & Moon and the Let's Go games.
Yep, because LT Surge has totally never signed anything for anyone else and the protagonist of LGPE abandons all of his/her past Pokémon, gets a new mom and forgets everything
@@thatonemechanicalskull Have you ever played Sun/Moon? It literally says you moved to Alola from Kanto plus they take place in the same generation.
@@dxmaqe8142 I have, actually, it wouldn’t make sense for the protagonist of LGPE to be the protagonist of SM
16:34 Hop's hair looks like a hop plant too!
Hilbert and hilda r named black and white in the manga, cheren means black, Bianca is from blanc which means white, and also in the manga, Nate and rosas names r Blake and Whitley which is from Black 2 and an extension to white to indicate that she is based off of white. Also ash and Serena go on a “date” in the third last episode in lumios city which is made from Paris, the city of love, and they kiss in the last episode in the airport of lumios, to talk more of the romance in France.
Bianca is the feminine form of the Italian word for white, romance languages have masculine and feminine forms for adjectives, Italian: bianco/bianca, Spanish&Portuguese: branco/branca, French is diferent because of the heavy germanic influence
It is uncertain if Serena actualy kissed Ash, and given how he wasn't even blushing it is more likely that it was a smooch on the cheek, and that happened plenty of times before
Daniel Pereira first of all, thanks for informing me about what I said about Bianca, I remember hearing that somewhere before so I guess I just thought it was French. The producers did actually say that the moment was meant to be a kiss and Bonnie and Clemont reacted while ash was in shock. The reason why it wasn’t shown was because they didn’t know the best way to put it in and they were unsure on the younger audience, more specifically if they would watch the show because of the love aspect that they wanted to imply, since pokemon is an adventure show about battling. But it was officially stated that they imply that they kissed.
17:57 actually Leon and nessa’s rare league cards are different as well
I find your theory on Hop's hair to be interesting. I just thought his hair was designed to resemble the hops plant.
You put a lot of effort into these videos and it shows! Very entertaining 👏
May's torcoal is like Gary's Ratucate
I believe in the Pokemon adventures manga the character called Green was supposed to be an expert on pokemon evolutions.
I’m surprised no one has made a UA-cam video about you killing May’s torkoal
I mean, like...the theory about a rival being the champion of Gen V kind of turned out to be true? Sure, Cheren and Bianca are rivals, but in a way...so is N, and he takes the role of Champion.
9:44 and also I believe Barry's name in the pokemon adventures manga it's pearl
10:10 don't worry in pokemon adventures manga hilberts name its black
Hops Hair actually looks like Hop Buds
i believe hops hair is referencing the hops plant. looks exactly like it
Hop is hau's galarian form
Piers is Guzma's galarian form
Leon is Kukui's galarian form
*mic drop*
Do you reckon Victor was named after Victor McDade from Still game?
This isn't exactly about this video but in challenge mode the pokemon have the exact same stats and hp as they do in normal mode they just are shown to be a couple levels higher
Leaf and Green are the same character. I'm honestly baffled they called her Leaf in Masters, but that game includes Kris, so all bets are off, for better or worse.
808 is also the area code for hawaii
Bede is also Ryu from Devilman Crybaby confirmed.
Both Gladion and Silver traveled to Kanto too.
You should do facts on each trainer class.
Is it just me or most of the time I see one of his videos I see Munching Orange’s play through clips
7:33 that was my birthday
Hop's hair is supposed to look like a hop seed!
Where is the intro with every game character from?
What was the opening cinematic from?
I really hate that the US didnt correct Greens name. They still call him Blue til this day but like look at his colors and he debuted in Pokemon Green in japan. Green is the boy, Blue is the girl always has been
Hop's hair is supposed to represent a hop tree.
What game or movie does the opening and closing come from?!
Thought they said in the sword and shield anime that is a girl he is traveling with and/or rival
Could you elaborate better ?
Such thing was never stated in official information.
On the other hand there was a baseless rumor about Go being a transgender girl. Maybe that's what you heard about.
I mean there is that one girl... I think her name started with a K? If anything she was a vague rival, not a traveling partner. I haven’t heard a lot about her. And besides, the new anime is following the trend that SuMo set, with not having the traditional Pokémon journey set up, so I’m unsure of a rival’s purpose in the new storyline
me starting to play sword and shield: dude hop is such a stupid name.
me at the end of sword and shield: omg he wants to be a professor and hop is a freakin' tree name.
Anyone else think Green and Leaf were supposed to be the same character?🤨
Dorian Dixon: I worked here for about (Hop) six years.
I replayed Emerald so many times, that there are some times when Wally KO'd the ralts.
I'm not sure if this is in the comments but you left the fact out Serena is the only character the Ash even showed affection towards and kissed at the end of XYZ series
Hops hair is shaped like a hops... I can't unsee that....
Isn't Hop based off of hops? yknow, what his hair looks like?
A
Have you read the manga? His name is ruby and her name is sapphire
0:09 where do I watch this clip, I wanna see the full version of it. Can I please get sauce, anyone?
I think it's one of the Pokemon Masters trailer.
Silver’s eyes are red because he smoked too much green 😂😂
are the scenes from the first part of the video an anime?
The choice to say the last words of some sentences super stretchhheddd outttttt kinda bugs me. Once I noticed it I couldn’t stop hearing it
Idk why but me when he said pass: I need the *fOrtNiTe bAtTlE pAsS*
I didn’t know that the protagonists had names, I thought that they were named after their games.
Pretty sure Hop’s hair just resembles a hop flower
Gladion is the Felix of pokemon.
um... who is Felix? explain this please.
ethan will always be gold to me 😔
