TYRANITAR! and other kaiju pokemon too, i guess. | Gnoggin - Origins of Tyranitar Explained!

- According to Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokemon, Ultraman and his capsule kaiju were a HUGE inspiration to him, which led to the creation of Pokemon. As such, there are a load of references to Ultraman, Godzilla, Gamera, the Super Sentai and other such big Japanese television series throughout the Pokemon franchise. In this video we talk about that! Kaiju Pokemon! and how Tyranitar is NOT based on Godzilla like everybody says.

Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out! - Ігри
Hey! Our merch store is having a sale on various pieces of Gnogginy goodness! And once these are gone, they are gone FOREVER so its now or never: www.gnoggin.net/
Thanks so much for the support. What's your favorite Kaiju?
my favorite kaiju is definitely vaporeon
what about spectorman
Wait where is 13:13 coming from? This sounds like an arse pull....
I mean I guess they did re use the sounds but thats kind of a thing that the Ultraman series does.
disappointed in you Lockstin you haven't put Gardevoir in a thumbnail in months!
SMH.
also my favorite Kaiju is alolan exeggutor :3
I like rodan becouse of its first movie, i like the end tho its kind of sad
Fun Fact about Volcarona and Mothra: The german name of Volcarona is Ramoth, it's literally Mothra with the syllables switched
Very clever since it's also a reference to the Egyptian god of the sun, Ra.
Just like @@slick_3617 said its problaly just the god Ra and moth
@@cuddlefish7798 I think it's a reference to both. There's a lot of names that hold multiple references in them.
I would say that the Wurmple line going to Beautifly references Mothra more. Wurmple looks just like mothras larval stage, Silcoon looks like Mothras egg, and Beautifly has very similar colors to mothra
@@Fxylolz ...It's just a Monarch Butterfly, though. And...well...a butterfly and not a moth...
Isn't ironical how the Pokemon that was literally inspired by a Kaiju dosen't have a Gigantamax form...
Yet
I sigh to that everyday :(
@@Zyrdrakyll Charizard pandering :(
Why do they need gmax forms when them being dynamaxed is still perfect for the reference? If part of their design was it, then them just being bigger completes it. If they added more it would take away from the design's original intent.
@@BladeBloodTear A Gmax Tyranitar could have blue glowing spikes or something.
1:04 mentions king kong is a kaiju, but forgets to reconize Clifford the big red dog as one👀👀

No, obviously green is somewhat good but I wanna was was a good day I wanna was was. OBVIOUSLY.

@@FreshestCool What?
Tyranitar using Surf saved me many times while playing Silver/Gold.
That was a surprise to me since a Rock/Dark learning Surf reminded me of the iconic Godzilla rising from the ocean scene.
Now all we need to tyranitar be able to learn fly and we have that one scene from Godzilla versus The Smog Monster

And fun fact : Destoroyah is named like that because he was born from the Oxygen DESTROYER from the original 1954 film. :3
Giratina .........!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
makes a little more sense but damn that's still a bad name
@@retosius7962 its not straight up destroyah its destoRoyah
@@retosius7962 it is named like that because you can't copyright "destroyer"
@@retosius7962 the I guess you won't like that fact that his american name is destroyer
To be fair, King Kong was summoned by the native people of his home island with drums and he was known as the protector of that jungle. Drums, plants, giant, gorrilla. I think Gigantimax Rillaboom may be partially inspired by King Kong. Maybe a little Donkey Kong too. He did have that rhythm game played with a unique drum set.
King Kong isn't "technically" a kaiju. He straight up is a kaiju. America just didn't have a name for the giant monster subgenre. And you know who else is a kaiju without anyone calling it so? The Cloverfield monster.
He's a daikaiju akcually
@@themostbritishpersonalive868 dai just mean big, so daikaiju it's just big kaiju
Does that make the Jurassic Park films Kaiju films as well? I know they're based on dinosaurs but we now know that they likely didn't really look so lizard-like and the later films even started making their own made-up super dinos.
@@Gohka hmm... I guess so. Specifically the big ones like T-Rex and Spinosourus. But yeah, pretty much. They even have them fight each other once in a while.
Yeah Cloverfield IS a kaiju, a weird one at that...
Lockstin needs to edit the bulbapedia already. Also his slogan needs to be “Pokémon can have multiple inspirations”.
Actually that sounds like a great idea for a video. Rather then the background on Pokemon people love just for themselves, pick the Pokemon the community generally don't like and explain why they are the way they are.
@@frazonedracaoo6981 its usually the humanoid pokemon that get the most hate. even if we know their origin we still hate them cause there unatural.
Frazone Dracaoo the item Pokémon can be summed up as “there’s a whole section of Japanese mythology dedicated to items coming to life after they’ve lived for stupid amounts of time”.
Tsukumogami
Actually I think that in and of itself could make an entire video. He could title it “I love inanimate object Pokémon” and watch all the haters roll in.
@@dragoncatoverload Somehow I have never made this connection. I actually like the item Pokemon a bit more now.
For example Beedrill is both a bee and a Wasp.
... Particularly if you look at its evolutions being more ... waspy.
or at least not social bees.
Charizard: "I have two Mega Evolutions and a G Max Form!"
Tyranitar: "G Max? I only got a Mega Evolution!"
Hydreigon and Volcarona: "You guys are getting Megas?"
GAGAGAGAGAAGAG this is wonderful! PRANK! It is terrible! I looked in the mirror and saw something UNPRETTY: my face. GAGAGAGAG! But I am happy again because I have TWO HOT GIRLFRIENDS and I make cool YT videos with them! Good evening, love and peace, dear karen
I'm pretty sure that the dragon boi got one
@@edwardcoello9168 definitely not lol
Legit thought in my headcannon
One of the reasons they introduced the fairy type is.to completely shut down hydreigon
But volcarona deserves more love the original fire bug type man so much cooler then that wanna be raquaza
edit for you:
Mewtwo: "G Max? I only got 2 Mega Evolutions!""
Tyranitar: "You have 2 mega evolutions? i only got 1!"
Here's a small nitpick I wanna correct. Ultraman and Godzilla were co-created by a lot of the same people, especially the legendary creator of the tokutatsu genre: Eiji Tsuburaya. But they are not owned by the same company. Tsuburaya doesn't own the rights to Godzilla like Gnoggin (or however the little skeleton is named) said. Toho owns Godzilla and Tsuburaya Productions owns Ultraman. Both companies do have really close working relationships, to the point they let each other borrow kaiju suits all the time. Because of that there's a lot of Ultraman Kaiju who just look like repainted versions of Godzilla Kaiju. It's most likely that Toho let Tsuburaya use their Kaiju's roar as well. So yeah, it's not that Godzilla & Ultraman are owned by the same people, but that both companies have good working relationships and let each other borrow stuff all the time. (Mainly because some people like Eiji Tsuburaya has worked for Toho before)
The closest godzilla related Pokémon is definitely groudon hands down. His destruction, his ability to walk in water making a large path of magma, etc. mostly everything groudon does is almost as similar to godzilla. We also can’t forget when he’s in primal form he legit looks similar to 2019 burning godzilla. WE ALSO CANT FORGET THEY LITERALLY USED GODZILLA’S ROARS FOR GROUDON IN THE ANIME
Where I wanna see that
Also that one Groudon in the jirachi movie is basically shin Godzilla
@@hazakurasuyama9016
From what i remember from watching that one part of the movie, That Lava groudon had these slimy navy blue tentacle things that absorbed the characters into groudon's glowing Orange/Yellow stomach showing each one of them in there. Hmmm... that reminds me of a Kaiju who is a Mutated Plant with long Tentacle-like Vines with mouths and has a yellow/Orange glowing stomach mixed with Godzilla's cells..
*B i o l l a n t e*
@@Lampfinder1619 oh yeah lol I’m rusty on my Godzilla knowledge
You can go older than 2019 and see Godzilla in Godzilla vs. Destroyah when she's about to explode.
I'm so glad that someone finally pointed out the fact that Giratina and Mothra use the same sound profiles.
Lunala also sounds like Mothra.
Palkia too kinda
Palkia is defiantly more Heisei King Ghidorah
Would have been cool if giratina had battra's roars..mostly because of the colour texture and patterns the two have in common....
@@godzilla_fan_13 so rodan then
As a Godzilla fan and in a community with many other Godzilla fans, we are also Pokemon fans. NONE OF US have ever heard the comparison between Rayquaza and Manda. Manda is an ancient sea serpent guardian for an undersea humanoid race. Also... Manda has four legs.
also manda is by far one of the weakest kaiju around, I'm talking manilla weak, it WISHES it could be like rayquaza.
@@masonjones7777 Manda was made a lot tougher in monster apocalypse, as were Gorosaurus, and Zilla.
Also Rayquaza is really powerful while Manda has NEVER WON A BATTLE IN THE MOVIES ONCE
Manda was a titanic snake in Naruto as well. Not quite a sea serpent though.
I sea as an elongated Gyarados with 2 tiny arms and large moustaches. Rayquaza feats more for a real god of skies, while Manda is consideres a god, but note a real one.
Lockstin: Kaiju's are super cool right?
Me: Yes, that is indeed a fact..
"Godzillante"
That's just Godzilla with the "-nte" from Biollante grafted onto the end! How funny!
such an original name
Godzilla vs biollante is overrated but is still amazing
"Gamara is a just a big turtle that stands upright." ... that could fly using jet in his retracted shell, was the protector of nature and protected all children.

Heck, even his German name is Ramoth.
Speaking of the Anime, Dialga's roars in the DP Era has the roars of Kraa the Sea Monster & Manda, also Palkia's roars despite having Ghidorah and Godzilla's roars also have a cayote howl. Giratina & Lunala has the same roars as Mothra's but Giratina has both the Imago and Larva roars and Lunala only has the Imago Roars.
BW: Reshiram combines the Roars of Megaguirus, Keizer Ghidorah & the Wolf's howl while Baragon's roars were used for Zekrom. Kyurem's roars being Monster X and Zilla (AKA the TriStar Godzilla) combined with his Japanese VA and in the dub Marc Thompson (who voices the Tao Trio).
XY: Yveltal has the roars of Megaguirus & Anguirus (Pitched-up) and Zygarde in its 50% form has the roars of Mothra and the other Kaiju noises.
SM: Solagleo has the roars of Monster X like Kyurem and Necrozma has another kaiju roar. The Dusk Mane form has the roars of Ebirah and a Cayote Howl. The Dusk Wing form has a Cayote howl. Necrozma in its TRUE form has the combo of Ebirah's roar, GMK Ghidorah's roar, and a lowpitched Cayote howl.
JN: Eternatus has the roars of Ebirah and another beast. Zapdos has Mothra's Roars (Imago), and Articuno has the roars of many kaijus. Plus Dialga has the same roar as Necrozma in JN89 and JN90.

Hi the msmtuber that posts the time he made the comments on the comments themselves
I remember making a Tyrannitar that had moves that mimic Godzilla's powers.
Dragon Pulse :: Atomic Breath
Screech :: His roar
Crunch :: He has been seen biting
Earthquake :: He would probably cause small ones if he was in the real world
Edit: This was back in UsUm
I think hyper beam fits the atomic breath part since hyper beam is like a tokusatsu finisher..
Even if its normal type, what screams of it as normal?
"We are not going to add robot pokémon"
Magearna: What?!
She's an automaton thats technically not a robot.

@@voidblack1706 Well I always assumed Metagross was just some kind of spiderlike creature with metal armor, it has a mouth and hunts for meat, robots don't have to do this. But Magnemite, yeah, maybe it is a robot.

Well, they're all made of goopy garbage. It's like claiming Biolante as the sole derivative of just about any plant pokemon.

@@karenbonds264 "still we should run like it's Godzilla!"
@Sean Dewar Though it isn't. *AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!*
That's not Godzilla that's a nock off for copyright reasons
That was hilarious. XD
The most notable thing about Tyranitar, in my opinion, is that it is a classical dinosaurish kaiju that reaches its adult phase by PUPATING. Even weirder is that the shape and markings of the pupa are visible on its body, implying that the pupa itself mutated into an adult phase, rather than breaking like an insect's. That is such a strange, unique, and fundamental quality that I find it difficult to really consider it as having any one single inspiration unless said inspiration also does that.
So, hilarious add placement in the video was hilarious. You had just said 'Let me show how how Eleking dies', and it cut to a Verizon add. And my brain's response to this was. 'Yes, this kaiju died because of Verizon. Sounds legit.'

There’s such an insane amount of kaiju outside of those three categories lol, Monsterverse and the Gamera trilogy kaiju are almost all solely ancient monsters.

I should note that Jet Jaguar also resembles ultraman, and most of the time is an ally of Godzilla. And I remember reading somewhere what he was also supposed to be a stand-in for Ultraman in the show. In other words, The fact Godzilla and Jet Jaguar are allies can be interpreted as Toho saying that Godzilla and Ultraman wouldn’t fight, per se.
After returning to this video, I realized Lockstin did NOT do his research.
1. Ultraman is owned by an entirely separate company than Godzilla. Yes the creator of Ultraman worked on Godzilla, but he had left Toho when he went to create Ultraman.
2. Bemular is not the first monster Ultraman caught in a capsule. It's the first monster he fought.
Yeah the capsules weren't introduced till ultraseven I think
15:25 fun fact: Volcarona’s german name is literally “Ramoth”, can the reference be more obvious?
2 moth-based criatures have the word moth in their names? There's no way that is a coincidence
@@erizoh But Volcarona is a blatant reference.
@@erizoh His point is that Ramoth is just and an anagram of Mothra, they literally just took the "Ra" from the end and slapped it at the beginning, that's probably what gave them the idea to make it fire type and look like the sun, since Ra is the egyptian sun god
Its not just that they both have moth, they literally just flipped the syllables. Moth-ra -> ra-moth
Granted, it also clearly refers to ra, the sun God, with volcarons design influences from Egyptian gods, and its place as a sun deity to a desert culture, but it seems pretty clear.
@@nolangerrans6083 See I could easily see it either as they had the Ra connection from the start, or they wanted to Mothra and saw the connection at some point during development of the 'Mon

"Kaiju" literally translates as: Mysterious creature
How are Pokemon described at multiple times throughout the franchise?
"Mysterious creatures"
Magical creatures
We were so close to greatness...so close
The single-word translation of "kaiju" should just be "monster", big or small. We associate it with giant monsters specifically because of the "kaiju movie" genre, which really just means "monster movie" but always involved a giant monster during its boom in popularity.
Some have used the term "daikaiju" to refer to giant monsters specifically but it hasn't really caught on.
As a huge Godzilla fan, I was always dissapointed with Tyranitar's design. It just doesn't scream "Godzilla" to me so I like the idea of it being *also* inspired by Bemular from Ultraman. It explains a lot about Tyranitar. But I like how you mentioned that Pokémon can be inspired by several things. There's just too much obvious Godzilla influence in Tyranitar to ignore it and say it's just a Bemular Pokémon. Since both Godzilla & Ultraman are super iconic in Japan, it makes sense that Game Freak decided to mix both franchises into one Pokémon.
i wonder if you noticed that Feraligatr is Titanosaurus but more blue and spiky
Once he started talking about plushies I looked into the background and there ludicolo was starring back from the void, looking deep into my soul
"Its name is really Destroyah, isn't it?"
Only if you remove the first O in Destoroyah.
But yes, its name is just Destroyer plus an O and a H
If you wanna be technical, his name is actually just straight up "Destroyer," but pronounced in Japanese, which would make it "Desutoroyaa". Is was just anglicized to Destroyah or Destoroyah (both are valid and interchangeable).
til there's two os in destoroyah
Ryan Cauffman
Iirc, it was created when the aftermath of the Oxygen Destroyer interacted with some microbial life, taking it from a destroyer of oxygen to a general destroyer of all.
@@spindash64 Plus, I can't imagine the word "destroyer" would be easy to copyright.
@@DJmouchi777 That was the exact reason. They pretty much COULDN'T copyright it, lol.
Technically, The guy responsible for the special effects for the first few Godzilla movies quit Toho (the company behind Godzilla) and went on to form his own company, that ended up creating Ultraman. Outside of selling some of the Godzilla suits to his company, Toho has nothing to do with Ultraman.

8:03 “Let’s put Tyranitar next to classic Godzilla.” *puts in a picture of Hiesei era Godzilla *
Also calling a late heisei era ultra monster, with only two appearances a classic.
@@Tenebrio-Morio I think Lockstin only did a few wiki searches for this video.
@@leafyfeathers if he did a wiki search he would've known that Bemular was never a capsule kaiju, my bet is it was a Google image search.
I saw that too lmao
Well he is the classic Godzilla
In Toho's appearances of King Kong, whenever he bangs on his chest there would be a large drum sound effect.
Turtle bazooka: exists
The people who made pokemon: I know what where gonna do today!
Lovely lovely, yet I am heavily breathing multiple times at some misinfo here... Excuse my nerdness as I list out a couple FYI-stuff down with no annotations. Plus some fine ol comments on stuff mixed in.
Bemular was never caught by Ultraman, he was killed just like the majority of the kaiju that appear in the series.
Ahem, Toho and Tsuburaya technically only worked together for like the early Showa series of both franchises, Eiji Tsuburaya can at least be credited for bringing suitmation with the 1954 film.
The God of the Earth title for Baragon was only given to the GMK instance of him, plus GMK was release in 2001, waay after Gen 1. Connection to Baragon still fits thought.
Angross, not really classical, appeared in the middle of the Heisei era.
Those are just flippers on Gazort cause the thing is a space fish-thing.
Oh heck, Golem really is just a rocky version of Takkong. Fun Fact, Takkong's name comes from the Japanese word for octopus: "Tako" And like Pestar, drinks oil in the original appearance.
Space Eel, that's all you have to see from Eleking. Also.... yeah, Ultraman did do a lot of gore on the monsters, especially with Ace's series, the ultra has multiple finishers that have the word Guillotine in i- Wait is that why Guillotine in pokemon 1-shots
50s to around 70s toys in japan were always so saturated.
Sudden idea I got looking between Bemular and Tyranitar, or in this case, Pupitar. Bemular has the special ability to change into a big, blue, space-travelling orb. Which sorta mirrors the chrysalis Pupitar, blue color, shell-like.
Tsuburaya has been making a couple Godzilla-look-a-likes a couple of times. Apart from Bemular and Redking using Big-G's roar, there's Astron (or Earthtron, depends on translation) who has a similar appearance. Gomess and Jirass are a thing, both of which reused two Godzilla suits (or mixed pieces iirc), Jirass is just a green Godzilla with a frill.
That clip with Yveltal didn't feature Megaguirus' roar. Reminder, high-pitched screech. Also, I think the best pronunciation of Megaguirus is "Meg-a-gear-us", well, for me anyway.
The relation with Mothra for Gigantamax Butterfree may be for 2019 version, where... Oh look both have BIG GLOWING GREEN WINGS! Though it may be argued to be a coincidence, both were released in 2019.
Done. I dunno.
Thank you for this. I can't blame him for the misinformation: tokusatsu isn't his thing. But some of the broad generalizations really gave me an eye twitch.
p sure guillotine in pokémon only one-shots because the irl guillotine was an execution device. i mean unless there are more similarities between the other gen 1 OHKO moves & pokémon's inspirations, 'fissure' for example never made a lot of sense as a one-shot move to me
really informative post tho, as an american that's never travelled i wouldn't begin to know how to get into this stuff
Everything I wanted to say!
Yes, the oil drinking sea monster is clearly the inspiration for the rock lizard with a quad weakness to water.
It's an entirely superficial resemblance.
I realize there a couple more mistakes I missed, and instead of editing my comment, I'm just gonna extend the list with a reply, cause there's like comment character limit.
Big G is not a mutated lizard, that'd be the dead horse that is Zilla. Godzilla is either a naturally born creature that fed on radiation and awakened via Bomb tests. Or is a mutation, just that it was a dinosaur called the Godzillasaurus, which might not be true since some timetravel removed it, and Godzilla still exists. Shoutout to Wikizilla, they have theory on explaining this.
Otachi is not a sea monstah, she too is from space, and is, like the rest of the Rim monstahs, artificial weapons.
Speaking of, most, if not many kaiju come from the land, especially from the Monsterverse and Ultraman franchise. Rodan, either way, was sleeping in a mountain or a volcano, Golza and Melba too. Monsters like Redking and Kong (who does count) lived on a remote island along with their opponents. Poor Gomora was taking a nap in a mountain. Among others.
The categories for Kaiju are usually as follows: Aliens: space ninja's and Dadas. Space monsters: in two subcategories, but basically they are not sentient, but are still from space. Ancient: living for a long time on land, Gomora and Kong. Gods: Mothra and Gatanothor. Sea: ancient but water, Goji and Takkong. Weapons: all the artificial guys, Mecha Godzilla, Zetton and Pandon. Ghosts: undead, ghost that possesses Kiryu, and the hybrid Tyrant. Interdimensional: not exactly from space, Gan-Q and Bulton comes to mind.
Hydreigon needs more love.
Actually Bemular was never caught in a Capsule by Ultra Seven. The Capsule you show is from Ultraman Geed and is actually Five King. Ultraman also didn't really catch Kaiju in capsules either. The capsules in Geed were made by Ultraman Belial.
The first capsule used was also windom.
"They decided against having a robot Pokémon (in Gen 1)"
Magnemite, Magneton, Voltorb, and Electrode are all robots and Porygon is an AI, basically a disembodied robot soul.
Gezorah isn't an Ammonite, he's a Cuttlefish.
Yes
I like this channel, but I cringe everytime he butchers a Kaiju name
A Mutated and Parasitized Cuttlefish at That.

Fun Fact: When I reversed the roar, it stays the same roar, just like how your reverse the word "Racecar" and "Radar". Also the roar is high pitched so I slowed down the pitch and I get the classic Godzilla roar.
Tyranitar is mainly inspired by godzilla, and not bemular

Another great video! I really loved this video because I really love kaiju. Also of course I already knew the connections between Hydreigon and King Ghidorah and Volcarona and Mothra, but I didn't know that there were even more kaiju inspired Pokemon. And yeah, I guess people sometimes make connections when they're not really there, but it's fun to make those connections, especially if you want to make fan art.
When he said that Godzilla was mutated I was like
“Danget he’s thing of zilla”
Godzilla is a ancient creature that was awakened by nuclear bombs in most stories
Yeah Zilla was the mutated lizard not Godzilla lol
In some cases,he's a mutated dinosaur
in the original 1954 Godzilla, he was a mutated lizard that was mutated by a nuclear bomb test. also, in 1994's Godzilla vs King Ghidorah, it was revealed that he was mutated by a nuclear bomb and that he was originally a dinosaur called Godzillasaurus.
@SimpleButHard 1 showa era: mutant/scarred aquatic reptile awakened by nuclear testing.
Heisei: dinosaur mutated by nuclear testing.
Millennium: one of the previous two.
Monsterverse(godzilla 2014): ancient reptile like amphibian from the Permian period, reawakened by nuclear testing.
Anime(Godzilla Earth): plant based ultimate lifeform, with dinosaur dna, created by nuclear testing.

Thanks, ad
According to the ad here, it died of discounts at various home electronics.
Doctor Who: I am the longest running TV show
StarTrek: See, thats where you are wrong, I am.
... : Amateurs!
StarTrek: What did you say, punk?
UltraMan: AMATURES!
Doctor Who: *chokes on tea*
StarTrek: °o°
Does Star Trek count if it was cancelled after 3 seasons? And the next series, The Next Generation, didn’t premiere until the late ‘80s.
@@lewatoaofair2522 if it's still running and contuines where it was left off then yes it counts
It kind of sucks that they retconned everything from Doctor Who
Coronation Street has been on 6 years longer than ultra man tho
The simpsons: allow us to introduce ourselves
Can I just get a compilation of you being silly with the plushes? This video was full of gold. 😂
Lockstin & Gnoggin: I have too many plushies
MandJTV: first time?
I was about to say "Wow it's exactly 20:00 how nice!", and it was on the sidebar... but now that I'm on the video IT SAYS 19:59 aaaaaaa
“I have too many plushies.”
MandJTV: Am I a joke to you?
So fun thing about Mega Tyranitar; I'm pretty sure it's more based on Burning Godzilla from Godzilla vs Destoroyah
Ultra Sun Dex Entry: Due to the colossal power poured into it, this Pokémon’s back split right open. Its destructive instincts are the only thing keeping it moving.
Considering Burning Godzilla is literally melting down due to his own power and will die in a radioactive explosion with the only thing keeping him alive is just his will to live a bit longer and the fact that Mega Tyranitar own power is so great that it splits open its back, meaning it will die soon . . . yeah. I feel the inspiration there.
Rip godzilla JR and Heisei godzilla
And here I am still searching for Dialga's movie cry's origins
4:27 You can’t grasp the true form of Gigan’s attack!
"i have too many plushies"
I love pokemon plushies, gib
I want a Ralts plushie. '*_*'
This was a good watch. I always appreciate people diving deep into old kaiju media like this. As my name suggests, I’m more biased to say that T-tar is based on Godzilla, but your argument is very strong. I now think it’s both. Haven’t played Pokémon since X an Y, now I kinda wanna come back.
As a resident Kaiju expert I will say I love this video. As for Electabuzz, I'd point towards Toho King Kong. Which had electric capabilities.
And thus I realize why Nidoking was always one of my favorite Pokémon, he’s a Kaiju reference!!!🐉😋🥰
Baragon is a much loved Kaiju, especially with Japanese girls.
Did anyone just realize that Young Chi-Chi’s head thing was a reference to Ultraman just now?
Can you elaborate cuz i dont understand
Darius Fritts in the original Dragonball manga Chichi had a similar helmet in which she could use as an attack where she threw the “fin” part. I only remember her using it once though. It has been a few years since I last read them
I haven’t read it but I saw it on a post on reddit and I was like huh
Same thing for Kirby’s Cutter copy ability.

Lockstin these videos are great
They help me see how intricate Pokemon are
As well as stop others from disrespecting Pokemon with no evidence
Man Max needs to appear more often it is hilarious whenever he shows up. XD
I was literally in the middle of a gnoggin video when this popped up!
It's possible that Tyranitar also takes some inspiration from Anguirus. Tyranitar's Japanese name, Bangirasu differs by one character and they're both armored dinosaur-esque creatures with spikes running down their back.
19:08 Feraligatr and T-TAr: Oi gnoggin stop it we have feelings!
Awesome video, man. Love your stuff
Fun Fact: Kaiju just means stragebeast in Japanese
And since these are giants, the more accurate term is Dai-Kaiju.
Strange beast would be a direct translation of its name, which is closer to meaning monster
Or giant beast, just saying.
Yup I learn that from Pacific rim so who said that watching movies don't make you smart
Did you know that Clifford the big red dog is a kaiju.
Wait what?!
Ah yes, a true genius
Uh, yes, that's an appropriate way to describe him.
@@morgancrabtree6248 Yup, he's certainly a "great beast"
This made my day
When I first found Larvitar I was like "Please don't let this be like my level 55 Dunsparce."
To my surprise it was my best Pokemon after evolution...
(This was 1999 or 2000 on a Japanese Silver Version)
The sarcasm when referencing the SNES game is strong enough to vaporize the faint of heart.
I think that Eliking's antena resembles Raichu's ears.
Dude
Ultraman defeated Bemular by killing him, not turn him into a capsule, and the thing about capsule is it's not from the Original Ultraman and it's from Ultraman Geed wich is in 2017 and Original Ultraman is from 1966
It originally was in Ultra Seven
@@anormalguy9346 what???? bemular wasn't in ultraseven
@@flurreo No,what i meant to say was that the capsule monster thing was originally from Ultra Seven and not from Ultraman Geed
@@anormalguy9346 oh, ty for the correction
still wish lockstin & gnoggin corrected himself, that would've been nice

Funny how now we have the very Godzilla inspired Baxcalibur alongside this
"But real quick, I just want to point out how this thing (Eleking) dies."
*An ad for Raid: Shadow Legends comes on right then.*
Me: Yep, it dies by an ad for a way over-advertised game.
And now I'm cringing because Lockstin just said "Hydrei-jon."
It is pronounced like high-dry-jon and of the pre-evolution is zv-igh-lus
Lol
@@theimpostorafungus1213 I know of Zweilous; I know how counting works in German; but how did you get Hydreigon's pronunciation? Bulbapedia may say that Hydrogen may be a connection made in its name; granted the fact that it CAN be wrong; but that just makes much less sense than dragon being in its name, as, obviously, it is a dragon. "Hydreigon" may seem a lot like "Hydrogen," but there are no connections to it breathing fire aside from its moveset, and it's obviously not even a Fire-Type. Dragons can do more than just breathe fire, anyway, and Hydreigon just obviously has far more to do with dragons than breathing fire.

Let's not forget bye-sharp
I feel the amount you got wrong does a great disservice to the legitimate impact of Ultramam on the Japanese entertainment industry. Most of all being that Ultraman was NOT made by the same people as Godzilla.
Yes, Eiji Tsuburaya, the creator of Ultraman, was the special effects director for years at Toho, but by the time he started the Ultraman franchise he'd stepped down and started his own company. True, there was industry trading, but that was mostly due to the amazing admiration Tsuburaya had in the industry. After his death in 1970, Tsuburaya Productions became a fully separate company and continued to create the MANY different incarnations of Ultraman which would become a staple of Japanese television. He is not a superhero, there are a bunch of sparsely connected different series with some overarching lore (convoluted at best).
Point being, even a show about a giant, spandex clad, superhero is never as simple as it seems. Godzilla, Ultraman, Kamen Rider, and Super Sentai are not the the same thing.
One thing I know about Tokusatsu fans, is that they memorize everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Your every statement will be analyzed and fact checked. I guess that makes me one of them...
Sorry... I can't help it...
When you have five inaccuracies in your first minute you know it's going to be bad.
Ultras are all light beings who protect the universe from monsters and villains so that's kinda like a super hero. The space garrison is basically like space cops. and they are all connected by the land of light. Even those not from that place (like Jonius being from U40). Ambassador Magma was the first giant hero, big X was the first giant hero who used a pen-like object to transform like Ultraman's beta capsule. Tezuka beats every one at being first at something. They are all toku though
This is my favorite video cause he talks so much about my favorite topic, kaiju.
I really appreciate the final 3 minutes. Gutsy to say as a Poketuber that Poketubers sometimes try to hard to reach for connections. A+!
Hardcore kaiju fan here, so a small tidbit to point out; Baragon's "god of the earth" idea didn't come until the 2001 film Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack (GMK for short, quite the long name), AFTER Pokemon was already made and established. However Baragon did of course appear in older films (and did burrow as well iirc) so the design for Nidoking is still blatantly obvious.
Edit: ALSO GODZILLA IS NOT A MUTATED LIZARD! The 1998 American Godzilla film is the ONLY one to do that idea. The original 1954 Gojira has Godzilla as a giant prehistoric animal risen from the depths of the ocean due to atomic bomb testing to make man pay for the crimes of nuclear energy.
EDIT #2: YVELTAL'S ROAR WAS NOT MEGAGUIRUS' REEEEEE
14:40 boga is that of that specific varactyl that obi wan mounts and rides.Yes he is called boga, his species is the varactyl
*She is called Boga. Yes, she is a varactyl.
Who knew my love for Kaiju and tokusatsu is crossed with my love for Pokemon. I love this video
I never thought I'd be so invested in this video
The funny thing about Volcarona is, in German it’s name is „Ramoth“, referencing the Egyptian god of the sun (I believe) and it being an moth.
And also Ra - moth
Moth - ra
... yeah kinda on the nose there
Is this a hint of Godzilla vs King Kong? xD
Tyranitar vs slaking/rillaboom
@@ryanwhorf6665 Rillaboom would be Kong, Slaking is just a sloth with an apelike body structure.
@@cintronproductions9430 than what would be king kong?
@@tybuss6211 I was talking about King Kong.
Originally there was a concept art of a king kong pokemon and a godzilla pokemon.. But they rejected the idea
Lockstin: touches Tyranitar when talking about scyther.
Also Lockstin: 4:36
Your Pokemon plushie collection is epic! Don't doubt yourself!
