Knowing about Shudo's tragic relationship with writing the Pokemon anime series and Lugia as well as the fact that he wrote Minky Momo (which has a similiarly infamous reputation) is... interesting...
@@TheMarioBBB He created Lugia while going through an extremely tough and depressing time which was heavily fueled by substance and alcohol abuse while simultaneously writing for the early Pokemon anime seasons. While going throught serious bouts of depression, he saw Lugia as his child and a motivating factor to continue. However, he was often creatively restricted by the producers in how he could not only write the show, but Lugia itself, further upsetting him and causing him to spiral further. Unfortunately, he he never completed his most contemporary season due to his death as a result of his his tragic situation. DidYouKnowGaming did a really good video on him and the creation of Lugia. Minky Momo is an old magical girl anime from the early 80's which later grew to have an infamous reputation as the anime abruptly ends with Momo (the main character) getting hit by a truck and presumably dying. That finale and sequel finale also aired during Japan's Great Hanshin Earthquake of 1995 and another earthquake. Such coinciding events led to the phenomenon being called the "Curse of Minky Momo."
@@TheMarioBBB He designed Lugia for the 2nd Pokemon movie, and thought it'd just be a one-off anime-exclusive creature, but was surprised that it made it into the games. He also very much wanted Lugia to have a female voice actress, because he envisioned it as a "mother of the sea" sort of thing. But he was disappointed to learn that they selected a male voice actor for Lugia.
After hearing this Slowpoke theory, I now feel it should be the ADHD Pokémon- constantly zoned out, knows a lot of things but can’t communicate or recall them to be of use until they get their meds- being the Shellder toxin.
I hate that we have reduced ADHD down to " have ADHD. Therefore, can't communicate, and I'm mentally slow, but I know alot. That I can't recall, but I swear I know" I was diagnosed when I was 4yo, decades ago. I am over communicative, and I recall everything. Every minor detail. I'm never zoned out, I'm like a librarian on speed. Unfortunately for my friends, who I appreciate deeply for this, I dominate all conversations. I can't help it and they let me, bless them. A lot of people like to mix up ADD and ADHD. Although, we do live in the day and age of sel diagnosis so it's only natural that people would misdiagnose themselves. Either that or these very narrow boxes that we like to define people by have become so small that if you have "insert diagnosis" then you have to be just like another person with the same diagnosis instead of realising that we are still individuals.
The Victini theory somehow reminds of how at the time of its reveal a school friend told me about an Victini leak that contained references to the 3rd Reich.
23:42 Are you thinking critically about the words that are coming out of your mouth, or didn’t ya hear what the Lieutenant said, THE ELECTRIC TYPES SAVED HIM DURING ⚡️THE WAR ⚡️! So obviously he’s an immortal Frankenstein kept moving by pure electricity and American patriotism flowing through his veins.
I disagree on the kabutops=genesect theory. Several dex entries clarify Team Plasma modified the cannon on its back rather than completely overhauling the Pokémon. The entry also implies Genesect already had a cannon on its back, which would explain why it'd have been an apex predator back then if it had a more advanced hunting adaptation than its contemporary predators like kabutops whod be using physical traits like claws and teeth to hunt. Plus there's no typing overlap at all. Looking at genesect the cannon comes out of its shell which lines up with the shape of its head. It looks like originally they were supposed to fit together and likely the shell would hide the cannon until it was being used making it a a possible ambush predator but the Team Plasma mod keeps it permanently out as the muzzle of the cannon is a different color than the shell and extends over the head.
I like to imagine the reason Mega descriptions are so negative in Sun and Moon is because it's the first time a Rotom had control of a Dex. It being part ghost and in general mischievous, influenced the entries.
@@matthewmusco2581 it's possible, but I never played enough of either of those games to get to the water routes. I'm going to double check later but I'm 99% sure she's on the left side of the screen on route 105 in Emerald. Maybe Ruby and Sapphire too but I didn't play those
I dont see an issue with a flareon dying in the fire. You drink water but if you fell into a huge body of water eventually you would drown. Im sure even a creature with the ability to absorb the power of fire has its limits in lore and not in game mechanics.
10/10: would recommend listening to this while doing all the cleaning in your apartment that you’ve put off for weeks. Not that I’m speaking from experience…
"I highly doubt that Lt. Surge in his modern camo is a veteran from that war...unless Xerneasor the Ultimate Weapon turned him immortal." Immortal soldier? Nah, Unkillable Soldier. *Sabaton intensifies
my theory regarding the alola mega evolution dex entries is that the war of kalos was between kalos and alola, which is why alola is so underdeveloped, and more relevantly: kalos was very clear about how mega evolution works, alola's megas describe the exact opposite, i think that alola saw the power kalos had in the war due to their bonds with their pokemon, and alola tried to replicate mega evolution and mostly succeeded, but it was flawed, it came out of desperation in a futile war instead of a trainer's bond, so they force the pokemon to mega evolve instead of it being natural, causing said pain, aka, the power of friendship✨ being wholesome vs dominance(?) being torturous also mixing in some long-standing propaganda towards kalos as well, "look at those evil people abusing their pokemon"
There's also a time gear that you see yourselfl in the bonus episode where you play as Lopunny, a ditto is guarding it so yeah there's really more than 5.
Fantina doesn't talk about fashion in any game she is in. She talks about dancing and how she found contests when she reached Sinnoh. Also her being from unova makes her the hint in fourth gen to fifth gen, her name being western, plus Melissa means honey bee, the theme of the gym in Castelia city which is the New York equivalent being the place for welcoming immigrants.
58:00 the Pokemon not in Pokeballs thing... the games and anime both have the idea of "friend" pokemon, IE pokemon that aren't summoned into battle via balls, but rather just hang out in your house or whatever. This seems to be the same but on larger scale. People live with pokemon, but don't use the Capsule corp system since they're not League trainers.
10:04 Not clefable, gengar is the shadow of clefairy! Clefairy is the one that was in Red/Blue and they look similar even back then. As a kid I immediately thought this after my gengar evolved
why every time people didn't see zekrom he was draining pikachu electricity yes pikachu can make more but come on your going up against a legendary electric dragon and it's draining you of course it's going to lose against snivy remember the joltik draining pikachu electricity why does no body pay attention the to the scene it's like zekrom is invisible yes pikschu is high level but going against a legendary dragon that can drain your power.
@45:04 i think that dialogue came from hearthold when your surfing and theres a whole lotta trainers before you get to brunos gym and one of them is a girl that says that but idk tho
Bug wasnt meant to be weak to poison so its highly unlikely Kogan was trying to trick you just more so the game devs adding thematic trainers that ussually had a pool of Psychic. Also im 80% sure sabrina has a venomoth (Also Blue and yellow arent from pallet but viridian)
I've never had the Mandela thing until the woman's secret, I played the game when it first came out and when I saw the meme i swear I remembered reading that and the vagina things was exactly what I thought the joke was
In regards to AZ shenanigans in the war !!!!spoiler/ tetraleak info.!!!! Supposedly in Gen 10, wind and wave we're getting a Greek based region according to the leak so that could be az's home region then
Imagine being Brock and finally getting a girl that seems interested, you hang out, show clear interest, say it maybe and then after all these years you are so close she reveals she's a lesbian and it's over.
The answer to Pikachu level reset is that the anime doesn't have levels. Pokemon randomly evolve all the time mid fight in the anime. It's purely a game mechanic. It's also good writing to have your characters over cone challenges. Pikachu one shooting everyone with thunderbolt isn't fun for anyone
@@assault410 I found a bulbapedia article on the topic. Apparently levels are a thing in the anime, we just don't receive many details on whether they function differently than levels in the games.
Hey man! Good video Something to improve, is you sound like your reading it from a script, which of course is true but your speaking unconfidently and making mistakes a lot, If you narrow that down and stop making mistakes you have a great video!
A reminder that regions are not the same as countries, as the many Japanese regions are probably in the same country, it’s possible that Kalos’ war was fought with a different region within the “France” country Edit: that being said I do enjoy your theory on it, and would like it to be true
Idk i always like the bw theroy because it was a reasonable work around that allowed the lazy writing to make sense they don't need Pikachu's level to be reset ash just needs to only use it against powerful trainers like gym leaders or leaugers, guess it doesn't matter now though lol they decided to let him retire
Well, one of the theories I heard going around was that Ivy didn't want an actual romantic relationship with Brock, instead she wanted him to knock her up so she could have kids, but had no interest in him as an actual romantic partner. This fan theory was based on very scant clues, but does have what I think to be workable logic to it. 1: we know that the anime isn't gonna come out as SAY what it was if it's related to a failed romance. 2: it's not as simple as "she said no"... there got to be weird extenuating circumstances. 3: Brock was apparently living with her for a while. 4: Brock's behavior tells us it was emotionally traumatic.... but there's no indication of why Brock found it so traumatic. Which fits with the idea they self-censored to not talk about sex. But what would be so traumatic that Brock didn't want to talk, while also not being serious enough for legal actions? Yeah that's a fun quandry.
As absurd as it seams, someone being ace or gay is often seen as worse, then you just nit being their type. I dont get it eituer, cause as pointed put, it is the least personal possible, but I commonly witnissed people taking that way worse and often getting really mean about it,... Maybe especially because they cant change that or themselfs to fit their type or maybe, because they petcive the other sexuality as inferior
