#pokemondesign #grimmsnarl #pokemonexplained
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! - เกม
Grimmsnarl is everything I've ever wanted in a Fairy type. Dark, mischievous, and full of POWER. I named mine Chernabog and I'm not sorry about it. Also why Absol wasn't changed to Dark/Fairy I'll never know.
Absol is treated like an outcast. It warns people of a dangerous event that's going to take place wherever it is for the greater good like a good fairy would but people believe it's them that makes it. So while it would be a good Dark/Fairy Type, the people who shun them and belief of them being a mischief maker makes them look dark in appearance in more. Their Dec entry explains it.
Absol definitely would fit as a Dark/Fairy, honestly. Though I am not sure if it has origins that go with that. Lockstin can probably figure it out, if he looks into it for whatever reason.
Named mine Dua, it was a typo that stuck. I meant to call it Dual because when I found one it put up a heck of a fight. But Dua quickly became MVP and basically replaced my starter.
I found it as an Impidimp obviously.
THIS IS WHAT I WANTED IN A DARK FAIRY TYPE

Sound like it was saving people from hattert
One thing on Grimsnarl being male only, and it's strength coming from it's hair, just look at the story of Samson. He was commonly depicted as having Herculean strength, and long hair. But as soon as Samson's hair was cut he lost his strength.
I was thinking that too.
It's a long shot since Samson's story didn't come from the British isles
@@ljlacierda8358 Not really. Pokemon have come from all over the place in each update. Sure they like to have some things focused on the new region's RL counterpart but that doesn't stop them from expanding into other areas for part of a pokemon's inspiration. It is even more likely when you think about the story of Samson being tied into Abrahamic faiths which had a major role in the formation of the UK.
Then again, he didn't cut his hair because he was a Nazirite who dedicated himself and got his strength from God, losing that power once his hair was cut and the pact broken, so the allusion isn't exact but could be there.
I only thought of Tangled from this. Grimmsnarl is wondering when his life will begin.
"The illusion slowly wears off and the changeling baby slowly starts looking uglier[...]"
It's called growing up.
Fun fact: changeling was also an actual term used by people in the middle ages to refer to children born with mental illnesses or other developmental issues, they attributed this issues to the mischief of fairies because psychology wasn't even invented yet
It was also potentially used as a cover for Post natal depression
Many genetic determined illnesses have a inbuild timer, up to a certain age everything seams fine only later sometimes sudden, sometimes slowely, something clearly is amiss. People do not want to think something is wrong with themself, so why should be something wrong with their child? Taking care of a disabled child is hard work, declaring they are not yours but swaped by a witch or fairy makes it ok to abandon them, or they just went to live with the other fairies . . . There was no understanding of genetic defects or mental illness
@@thehermit8618 huh, so according to myth I'm a fea just minus the mag- wait a second, AUTISM INCREASES STRENGTH, for some unknown reason, god help those poor scientists who still can't understand how we have increased strength and metabolism, MEANING THAT I'M LITERALLY A TROLL! NO WONDER I LIKE GRIMSNARLE! Although the pre evolutions aren't my cup of tea.

Grimmsnarl is one of the coolest non-legendaries I've ever seen, with it's type combination being exactly the thing I'd hoped to see after we got a psychic/ghost. Not to mention the fact that it has two signature attacks instead of one.
Grimmsnarl is more like a bugbear, since trolls arent THAT hairy in most rpg games like WoW
(We don't talk about SKYRIM trolls)
@@entityw3974 ESPECIALLY when the werewolf roar is exactly like a skyrim troll
Grimmsnarl is one of the best! Especially now that I've got my summer Marnie and her powerful Grimmsnarl!!!! 😍
I feel we missed an opportunity in making grimsnarl and hatterine both pseudo-legendary
@@benjaminacuna8013 Goodness yes. They’re so dang cool.
"Long ago in a distant land,

This is amazing! 😂
Gotta get back, back to the past. Samurai Fetch'd.
obligatory "somebody please animate this" reply
Yeah, there was that aspect to its face that made it look like a Japanese demon as well!
Grimmsnarl reminds me of Dr.Wily due to the characteristics of the evolutionary line, including the False Surrenders being like Wily's repeated begs for mercy and Wily being a very smart and deceitful person. I named my Grimmsnarl DoctahWahwee.
Theory: this line thrives on strong negative emotions, hatterene’s line hates strong emotions in general. Possible rivalry?
Or possible friendship. Grimsnarl's line feeds on strong negative emotions so that the Hatterene line doesn't get overwhelmed with it ^^
@@ananini3547 aaand one is 100% female the other 100% male and they live in the same biome
This is the best Pokemon gender counterpart there ever was
Myesssss
Literally just Jedi & Sith.
Wouldn't Hatterene be the witch in the lore behind the Impidimp line? Female only, psychic/fairy typing, and uses hair as a weapon too.
Im surprised you didn't delve into the connection between Impidimps line and Hattarenes. Hattarene uses its long hair combined with a witches cap to attack. It is also know as the Forest witch according to the pokedex. It is the female counterpart to Impidimps all male line. They even inhabit the same enchanted wood
My thoughts exactly and both Grimmsnarl and Hattarene are in the Fairy Egg Group.
One strives to cause emotion, and is sharp angled and neon colored
The other despises strong emotion, and has gentle curves with pastel colors
My exact thoughts as well, they both have a gigantamx form who's key components are tied to their hair. Theres something deep between the two pokemon families.
@@casesaathoff747 >tied to their hair
Huehuehuehue
And suddenly, Rule 34 intensifies
Fun fact
One of the theoretical origins of the changeling is autistic children, an energetic and outgoing child suddenly becoming withdraw is a sign of a changeling, and the onset of autistic symptoms normally happen at around 2 years. If a mother saw her child change so suddenly and diddnt know any better she would think someone switched it
Wasn't the changeling based on high mortality rate? Instead of being dead some fairy kidnaped them? Also changelings aren't really babies most of them were old fairys that were about to die
I've heard about this theory before and, as a person on the autistic spectrum, I find it pretty amusing that medieval society might be convinced I was some devious magical being. Would never have thought to compare Impidimp to a changeling. I knew there was a reason I liked that little pink troll...
Ah yes, Impidimp, the Autism Pokemon
Wait autism was known back then?
Grimmsnarl, the Internet Troll's Pokemon
Grimsnarl: exists
Latios and Latias: *confused screaming*
poor twins
It's a good thing they're banned from Galar.
(i dont get it)
@@ItsEnderDiego Grimmsnarl is immune to both of Latios and Latias's types.
And, in turn, super effective against both as well. And with the DLC for SwSh containing the legendaries from the past giving that Lati twins a very high chance to return, they can cower in fear while they're still safe
Pokedex: Impidimp feeds on the negative energy of people
Me: That explains that 24 hr livestream.
Must've LOVED the hate it got afterwards, then. What a lad!
There is one aspect of Grimmsnarl that you forgot since it is fairy-type: the Grimm part in his name.
He is named after Wilhelm and Jakob Grimm, aka The Brothers Grimm. They wrote the classic fairy tales that we now know through Disney
He mentions that in the Gen 8 name origins video.
They didn’t write them they simply collected various folk tales and anthologized them
@@Dandylion567 True but he also mentions the meanings of Impidimp and Morgrem's names in both videos
@@metallipwn Well they tweaked the classics and made them their own
I thought it was because of death. Like the Grim Reaper and stuff. What bothered me the most was not even mentioning harionago (look it up), Venom, and strongman elbow sleeves.
Just a theory, dead animals(including humans) make great fertilizer for plants due to decomposition. So if their Pokedex entry says "lures people into the woods, makes the crops grow" therefore if you take the two together. Killing them in the forest, and the decomposition causing the crops to grow.
as a lil side thing: Grimmsnarl could also be a reference to Grendel from the legend of Beowulf, as Grendel was a very large black colored troll that terrorized a nordic settlement
Funny enough, I named my Impidimp "Grendel" before evolve him to Grimmsnarl.
More Grim
Man, shiny Grimmsnarl looks dope, amirite? Also, I originally thought the "Grimm" came from Direct inspiration of the Grim Brothers, for the dark fairy tales... DARK/FAIRY.
* face palms from not realising this *
I remember back when it was revealed and everyone was hating on my poor Imp son, I made a point to use one on my team the second i saw it, assuming it might only get one evolution. The fact it gets 2 and a G-Max form with a unique move and wicked stats is icing on the cake. Thank you Gnoggin for putting some respect on the Imp army's name.
I wanted to see it trampled by a Ponyta I was that annoyed with it. Moment I saw its midstage in game though it was placed on my team.
@@ForestFairy1 You finally saw the light lol
I finally got a GMax Grimmsnarl and it went right onto my pseudo-competitive team. Unlike most, I really like Grimmsnarl’s design.
And the whole line has 2 signature moves!
@@kingoftropes922 I sure did, its a great pokemon overall. lol
Incidentally, YES, there is a difference between a polearm and a halberd. A polearm is any weapon that consists of a head on a long shaft (usually not including normal axes and sometimes not counting spears). A halberd is /a/ polearm, consisting of an axehead, back spike or hook, and a spike or spearhead all as one piece. Other polearms include the Partizan (double bladed axe with a spear point between them, still used as the ceremonial weapon of the Swiss Guard at the Vatican), the Lochabar Axe (scottish, a broad axe blade that extends upward, with an entangling hook extending parallel to the back of the blade), Bardiche (Slavic, a huge axe blade extending upward and terminating in a point (instead of the spear point being directly on the shaft) as well as extending the lower edge until it meets the shaft again, where it is secured with a nail), as well as the glaive (long single edged blade like a giant kitchen knife on a stick) war scythe (the same, but with a concave edge, and straight, not right-angled), and the dozens of flavors of east asian "literally a curved sword on a pole" like the Naginata and various flowery-named dao varients.
So then what is Morgrem's hair?
@@ninjapotatolorf6237 polearm cuz no back spike
@@remicou8420 thanks for clearing that up!
Ohh
MrGarfield
Then don’t. I thought it was very interesting. These are the kinds of random facts I love learning about.
Y'all gonna ignore the fact Grimmsnarl looks like a lot of depictions of Grendel from Beowulf? Named mine Grendel cause I noticed it right away.
lazerk1tty some say he defeated grendel with a folding chair
I named my Grimmsnarl Grendel too!
Tbh I also feel like the line also has some roots in Japanese mythology. Morgrem seems to be also partially based on the hari onago, a hairy woman which also has the 'barbs' on its hair that it shares with Morgrem. Both also use the ol' bait-and-switch to hunt people, too.
Grimmsnarl also feels like it's based on oni to me. Many of Grimmsnarl's name in different languages either have the word 'ogre' and 'demon' in it, with English being an outlier. The word 'oni' can be both translated into 'ogre' and 'demon'. Oni also typically have red/blue/green skin and wild hair, which fits Grimmsnarl pretty spot on. Grimmsnarl being an oni would also explain the line being all male, as oni are depicted as being only male.
You know that Kijo (female oni) us exist too?
Nobody:
Lockstin: "Licking sounds"
Kakyoin: " Imma bout to emerald splash this guy"

Haha i totally get that reference
The hair strength might come from Christianity with Samson. As long as Samson didn't cut his hair God gave him great strength. One example is when he ripped a city's gate off of its hinges.
That- makes sense 🤔
That's the first thing I thought of: Simson, the Israelite Judge of myth who drew his strength from his hair, which had therefore never been cut. The only rule he really adhered to, as he was otherwise mischievous and violently brutish. But he was also very fond of riddles, so he had that in common with fae and specifically trolls too!
So these hair roots dig deep, but it doesn't just stop in the Middle East either.
Even further east in ancient Vedic beliefs long hair for men is also a sign of their strength and virility.
Ayy I'm not the only one who thought this

I love the Grimmsnarl line so much, the first mischievous fairy that doesn’t look like a stereotypical fairy type pokémon. I really liked when you mentioned the hair being related to witchcraft and how that sentence alone immediately brought up hatterene to my attention. I really hope you do a video on the Hattena line, I pretty sure we’ll see some things crossing over with the Grimmsnarl line. Very Interesting!
I loved that you included a reference to changelings in this one. Also, I would like to see an analysis on the Hattena line.
yep. Both use their hair so like, It needs to be done.
Absolutely! For reasons unknown to me, this line of -mon's caught my attention immediately and is my favorite perhaps for the past three generations.
No I want snom and only snom he’s baby
Also want to know why the whole "attack anything emotional in a 30 mile radius" thing..
I thought they were just witches
I always thought Impidimp's line is meant to represent villains common in fairy tales. An imp, a goblin, a troll and a giant

10:46 also the whole ide of grimsnarl being strong and hairy might come from the story of Samson in the Tanach. A man blessed by God to be strong, but his powers come from his hair...

I'm so happy about this, Grimmsnarl has been my favorite Pokemon since I've seen it! Maybe you could do something based off the Hatenna line, as well. They also use their hair as witches, and I have a feeling they're partly based on the phrase "mad as a hatter" and the implications of such -- despite what Alice in Wonderland might make you believe, the phrase originally came from mercury poisoning the hatters in shops would get, which often includes MOOD SWINGS and nervousness. It can also include impairment of speech, alluding to why they want everything so quiet.
I remember aswell that somebody mentioned they be based on people who had sonoohobia....or even autism, since I can imagine them having so much psychic strength... That a simple crowd of people could put them into a panic.
It also seems to be a deliberate counterpart to the Mismagius line, as their overall design is similiar and psychic and ghost are rivals.
yeah my opinion is the opposite of yours
"Rerorerorero which is the sound of licking"
>Kakyoin entered the chat
I finally found the comment

G-Max Grimmsnarl in a nutshell.
"Long ago, in a distant land."
😂🤣
The Impidimp line is one of my favorite Gen 8 Pokemon. When I first saw it, I definitely considered putting him on my team, then the evolutions were revealed and I was sold. Then G-Max Grimmsnarl was reveal, then I was sold on him
1:14
I think the sound you meant to say was,
“RERORERORERORERO”
I was thinking of that and was hoping they'd but that in XD

Oh man, imagine if G-Max Grimmsnarl had a harp made from his own hair! That would have been awesome!
He looks like Eren Yeager
4:28 ok but I just gotta say morgrem's little laugh it does before it eats the curry is adorable and I love it
So we really not gonna talk about the fact that grimmsnarl is a twink underneath all that muscle hair? Alright then...
Hopefully we get to see what it looks like.
Goodness.
I think about this a lot. Especially when you see part of his naked arm
So pretty much male Hatterene
Just like hatterene :0
Can that "witches power that lie in there hair" and Hatteren is called "a witch" .. And it's a Female only line ... *RIGHT NEXT TO GRIMSNAL'S LINE*

Agreement!
Pokedex: machamp < grimmsnarl
Machamp attack: 130
Grimmsnarl attack: 120
???
Must be type advantage
Donaldo Rios Grimmsnarl's types are neutral to Machamp though. Dark/Fairy together are neutral to Fighting.
“Can” overwhelm
@@TornaitSuperBird It takes neutral damage from Machamps stab but can do supereffective damage with its fairy stab.
It is like saying that ninjask and electrode are faster than the light only because they have more speed than pokémon faster than the light, but it isn't obviously how it works...
And so every single pokémon with more than 130 base attack stat are stronger than machamp?

"Three fingers, hair everywhere, UGLY" wow you didn't do that to him
Ohhhhhhh... This ties very well with it's counterpart, Hatterene:
-totally witch reference, even in the pokedex she's called "the forest witch"
-they both have a LOT of hair
-both fairies that lives in the same forest, tying with that connection "troll - witch" that they have
And I probably left out more details.
What do you think?
Both got Gigantamaxes, evolve twice at the same Level...
I can’t I see this and now I put this curse upon you who see this.
Grimmsnarl looks as if Aku went to the gym and got beefed up
👍
3:54 A side note for Morgrem in game, it can learn the move: False Surrender (Dark) - "The user pretends to bow its head, but then it stabs the target with its disheveled hair.".
Game Freak: "Let's name a Pokémon after Morgan Le Fay, a famous witch!"
Also Game Freak: makes said Pokémon a male-only evolution line
Actually he might just be the green knight his female counter part hatterene might be morgan le fay
BioniclesaurKing4t2 there is hatteren who just like grimmsnarl uses its hair as a weapon and it is 100 percent female
Like Persona 5 🤣
Game Freak is the same company that named a wasp with spears Beedrill...
Might have been a refence to Mordred instead in the most popular versions of the Arthur story he's Morgan and Arthurs kid and the one who kills Arthur, As Morgan is well Le Fay or of the fae so would he also be one.
When I finally caught one of these buggers my inner Shakespeare came out and insisted I call it Puck.
Puck is now a giant hair chucking goblin.
I like Puck ;u;
I named my Whimsicott in Pokémon Sun Puck. He's one of my favorites, too.
GRENDEL!!!!!! finally have a name for my Grimmsnarl I was having a hard time what to nickname mine to make it more meaningful. And for my Hatterene I can name it lady Macbeth so thanks for the inspiration
These names are grand~ I love them to bits!!
Well actually Puck might also be part of Morgrimm's origin as well. Surprise he didn't bring that up. Pucks were old mischievous nature gods that helped crops grow and were said to have red skin in some sources. Shakespeare took the name Puck, which at that time lost all it's relationship to the deities, and applied it to his fairy character as is VERY common in Celtic mythology to give Post Pagan characters links to magic (Basically all most all of King Arthur characters' names are taken from pagan deities. For example Arthur's name alluded to an old Welsh Bear cult and his wife Guinevere name literally means the White Goddess).
Andrew Pappas: that is actually super fascinating! Thank you for the info :)
Me just being like: that image is from D&D... and that image... and that one.
7:15 long story short - Morgan practically hoped that seeing Arthur die in such a manner could've given Guinevere a heart attack. No joke. Even after she gets better and starts being friendly with Arthur, she still seems to dislike Guinevere as she's usually the one who reveals the whole Lancelot/Guinevere affair - which is hilarious because Guinevere once ratted Morgan out for having a relationship with another man.
To be honest, I really don't see that much of a connection between Morgan Le Fay and morgrem. Zacian already kinda fills the role of Morgan Le Fay, Morgan Le Fay is much more powerful than green knight and if grimmsnarl is the green knight... It doesn't make any sense in my head.
Also the line could be based on the brothers Grimm tails, with grimmsnarl being spelt as Grimm instead of grim.
Also gigantamax grimmsnarl being tall and having sort of twisted together strands of hair for the body, sort of looks like a beanstalk
Fun fact: Changlings may have been inspired by autistic or neurodiverdent kids showing symptoms!
Totaly is, aswell as other geneticly determined illnesses
That actually makes perfect sense...
Disappointing that I’m not actually a sick magic creature thing
edit: explains why since I’ve hit puberty I’ve had a strong urge to run away into the woods with some magic creatures and never come back 😎
My first time I saw Gigantimax Grimsnarl, and I IMMEDIATELY got Pacific Rim Gypsy Danger vibes.
Pacific Grimm lol
If anyone has watched Adventure Time the episode “Seventeen” has a lot more meaning now because of the “Green Knight” and I love that
Edit:I’m also now convinced that Grimsnarl being the troll, swapped evolutions with what it could have been seeing how the they all start off looking so different
I just caught an Impidimp earlier! I named him Grendel after the Beowulf character!
Cool, though I dont think that fits grendel well. He was a giant. a son of kain. But I do like that people still remember that story
That's what I named mine as well! I guarantee Grimmsnarl was at least partially based on Grendel, there are too many similarities there.
AHHHH fu-
Watch out for his mom then. She will WRECK your team. :D
Munch KING His mom is a ditto
I just caught a Impidimp, I called it Gremlin :3
Also is me or Hattena and Impidimp are somewhat related? There are both based on fay creatures, there are Fairy type, one is male and the other female... Also there is a gypsy legend about how all diseases came from the unholy marriage of a fairy and a demon but I don't think it goes that deep.
A witch and her familiar
Also Hattrene's body is actually a small thing dangling in its fake hair body
Also ties into the whole hair is magic thing as Hattena's hair also grows as it evolves.
They are both in the Fairy Egg Group.
@@kingarthurii5001 That one is kinda obvious.
I’m surprised there was connection mentioned to Samson when you spoke about Grimmsnarl. Has power in his hair, hair covers Grimmsnarls muscles to make him stronger. No?
6:35 I was always thought to believe that the morg in morgrim was referencing Mordred “Mordred was depicted as Arthur's traitorous nephew and a legitimate son of King Lot in Geoffrey of Monmouth” as stayed the the character Wikipedia page.

Came here from the hatterene episode. Loving the analysis on these! Up until now I'd watch one or two of these once in a while, but I think I'll try to catch up a bit more often.
I'm always impressed by your videos and how deep you go into these inspiration, it's amazing.
But hey, still waiting for galarian Yamask and its unique evolving method to be explained.
Dang I thought Morgrem’s name was just “more grim” like it’s becoming more evil instead of just a prankster and almost a fully grown grimmsnarl
The design of impidimp really reminded me of that time in Moomin Valley where moomintroll gets turned into an imp and Moomin is really popular in Japan and is Finnish/Swedish so you get the troll and gremlin ties too.
I wasn’t sure what to think of Impadimp, but the moment I saw Morgrem, I thought it looked like some Shakespherian forest creature who’s trying to trick me into taking a forbidden apple or something.
Really specific, I know.
Also, I’m glad they’re getting more creative with Fairy types. I’m already tired of seeing sugar/cake themed Fairies.

A halberd is a specific type of polearm characterized as being longer than a pole axe having an axe head that continues up to a point and a spike on the opposite side and tend to be more ceremonial and fancy in comparison to their polearm brethren, in contrast a pole axe was specifically designed as a weapon of war featuring an axe head a separate spike or spikes and a blunt hammer, of course there are many variations of all polearms I’m just being general
It almost seems like when someone discovered that you could add a long pole to almost any weapon and it would both improve its strength in certain ways and make it safer to use by keeping the enemy further away from you, the trend exploded.
Your Grimmsnarl and Hatterene Lore Videos are 2 of my MOST FAVORITE Lockstin and Gnoggin videos along with your Pokémon Shirt videos and Pokémon Sitting Cuties Videos. I hope you’ll make Sitting Cutie Videos for Generations 5-9 soon. I also LOVE your videos explaining the Japanese Names of Pokémon and the Shiny Colors of Pokémon and I hope you’ll make videos going over Generation 9 Shiny Colors and Generation 9 Japanese Names (With the Help of Mika of coarse).
Pretty sure Grimsnarl is a Digimon that snuck it’s way into the game.
Grimsnarlamon
I don't see any unnecessary armor, guns, weapons or pants on him.
@himode true
Really, corvinight and it's family do too, at least to me
Mushroom Mods Official Sad thing is, I could see that.
Okay to clear this up. It's "Dobby" not "Dooby" from Harry Potter.
finally! someone sensible!
Hello I’m Dooby 🙃
Are you sure you didn't mean Dabby
Doby Aftereffects
I recall there was a story about a man whose strength came from his hair and lost said strength after his lover cut his hair after being bribed by someone. So the whole "hair=muscles" thing could be based on that.
Ahhhh, you’re talking about the story of Sampson and Delilah from the Old Testament’s bible.
I'll be honest. Impidimp''s line are my favorite gen 8 Pokemon. I love the Dark/Fairy typing.. It seems to showcase Grimm's fary tales, how they start out innocent, but then take a darker, dramatic, tone.
Did you just pronounce “Dobby” as “Doh-bee”
why were we the only ones who noticed this
IF YOU PRONOUNCE IT DOH-BEE YOU ARE ON MY TARGET LIST
Been a bit, but glad I’m not the only one that bothered. I had to pause it and clear my head before resuming.
0:42- What even is this whole line?
Me: Is it Grendel? I think it's Grendel. I'm naming him Grendel.
This line has becomed my favourite pokemon line of all time because of their looks, the "reveal" Impidimp had, and the attached I got to my Grimmsnarl in game. Now knowing about their origins makes me love them EVEN MORE.
I knew the Impidimp line would have a bunch of interesting sources behind it, and I'm delighted to see that be the case! Thank you for this video!
I Loved and still love impidimp and his evolution líne i was totally right and the shiny is the Cherry on the top very awesome
Kakyoin: *Puts cherry on tounge*
also Kakyoin:
*Rero Rero Rero Rero Rero Rero Rero Rero Rero Rero Rero Rero Rero Rero Rero Rero*
Just love this channel tbh I love your ideas
You just gave me my new favorite pokemon with this I love this so much!! Thank you for showing their origin
Are you going to do Impidimp's counterpart next.
So, Grimmsnarl is done, I guess Hatterene line would be logical to go next, though on that note what is there to uncover about Hatterene's look other than the obvious witch reference?
I *really* like this type of content. Actually researching outside sources makes this so much more satisfying to me than your average Poketuber essay. Subscribing off the strength of this and the Hatterene videos.
the dark and fairy type combination works so well, I’m surprised it wasn’t used in the past 2 gens
Love that the first Fairy/Dark type is full of folklore and has ties with Arthurian legends. Can't expect less from that type combo.
That said I still think he looks like a Yu-Gi-Oh! monster.
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
Me: Grimmsnarl looks like Eren Titan
You're not the only one who thought that.
Oh definitely, especially with the teeth, that whole no lips thing making the teeth exposed
I've really been enjoying the aesthetic changes made to the channel and the effort made in production really can be seen.
I don't want to sound butt kissy. It just looks like a lot of effort goes into these. So I wanted to say thanks for the videos =]
8:28 Well anything from *that* would explain a lot...
9:45 Him "Stereotypically" Me: what do you mean Stereotypically, do you got a four finger in your basement.
Lockstin is finally doing a video about my boys Impidim, Morgrim and Grimmsnarl.😎
Impidimp: a mischievous little devil
Morgrem: an average psychopathic madman
Grimmsnarl: a very hairy troll
As a writer and general fanatic of all things fantasy, I’ve always had a knack and interest for all things related to legends of Gaelic, Celtic, And Norse legends and along with that stories of the Fae and the Arthurian mythos. From day one I knew Impidimp had connections to goblins and fairies and hence forth him and his entire line became one of my favorite groups of Pokémon in Sword and Shield. It’s so incredibly interesting and fun to learn the deeper meanings and origins of your favorite Pokémon and this was no exception. Heck, it even inspired me to add more to one of my current stories.
I think Grimmsnarl’s canines also look a little bit like an Oni’s
