If I recall correctly, the reason of Suicune's typing (and the other two beasts) is due to the Burnt Tower legend, thats says that three pokemon died when the Brass tower suddenly started burning, then was strucked by a lightning and then it was put down by a mysterious downpour, Ho-oh then gave life again to those three pokemon and gave them legendary powers based on the fire, lightning, and rain that the tower went through. So, lore wise it makes sense that Suicune is Water type.
@DeathBoo The legend says the Tower was struck by Lightning (thus Raikou's the oldest of the trio), set Aflame (thus Entei being the second Ho-oh created), and the fire was put out by the purifying rain, (thus Suicune being the last of the three, and its ability to purify any water it touches).
Suicune is water type due to the story behind the three legendary beasts, which are cats (Entei is a lion, Raikou a tiger and Suicune a leopard) Raikou represents the lightning bolt that struck the tower, Entei represents the flames that engulfed the tower and Suicune represents the rain that put it out
Also Suicune can purify any pool of water... and it could be that it also follows the theory tht the three pokemon who died were Flareon, Jolteon and Vaporeon as the dog trio share the same typing as the OG eeveeloutions. also based on the logic hes using then wouldn't he insist Celesteela (who hes covered twice) be a grass type? Celesteela learns more grass moves than Steel/flying... yet hes ok pointing out its based on a myth... Hmmmm….
When I was younger I thought Feebas looked like a microwaved version of Magikarp so, I thought you could get Feebas by having Magikarp on your team with 5 fire Pokémon so it could get dried up... Yeah I’m stupid
"Suicune shouldn't be water type!!!" he says, neglecting to mention its entire in canon backstory about how it was resurrected and given the water type to represent the rain that doused the fire that killed it.
Yeah, you have to work from the assumption that it's water type for a reason and find out why rather than looking at it and guessing its type then saying "well that can't be right" when you find out you're wrong. There's obvious reasons for it to be water type, even if taken on its own ice would be more obvious.
What mostly upsets me about all of this... No, not Remoraid being a gun. No, not Feebas looking like a corpse of a Magikarp. No, not the fact that, in Pokémon GO's Tentacool's Pokédex entry says that it dries up on land. Gorebyss' shell-bra.
Isn’t Palkia a water type because the trio is supposed to represent the 3 states of matter where Dialga is solid, Palkia is liquid, and Giratina is Gas
To me Palkia is Water type because of the common cultural myth of the Primordial Waters being the beginning of the Universe (and consequently Space). Dialga is Steel because the rusting of metal represents the flow of time?... Giratina is Ghost because he's basically the Lord of the Underworld.
I never thought of that but it's supossed to be, Diagla is the keeper of Time. Giratina is the keeper of the Underworld. Palkia is the keeper of Space.
I love Gen 4, I swear the stuff in Sinnoh is representative of so many things other than what you see on the surface. That's pretty cool, I actually never knew this.
Their 3d models in later games show they blink where the curved line in the middle of the eye flattens, so I think its light closed, but still 'blinks' but forcing them tightly shut
Giratina, Dialga and Palkia represent solid, liquid, and gas. Giratina being dragon ghost ( *gas* ), Dialga being dragon steel ( *solid* ) and Palkia being dragon water ( *liquid* ).
Ecos Adventurer They never say antimatter in the Games or Anime, or by Gamefreak, that’s just speculation. Gravity seems to be a better explanation for it and it’s destructive nature. It flies without using air magic, and it’s spectral wings shouldn’t be able to fly in the real world, so the ability to control gravity would explain this away, and the distortion world plays with gravity by making water flow “up” and have floating chunks of land. Gravity can also be very destructive, so banishing it makes sense. Obviously that’s also speculation, but this is just to say to not spout out speculation as fact.
@@sylvereon No. Im Pretty sure its Gravity. When Matter and Antimatter touch. They are anihilated. If Giratina Touched our world. She/he Would Die along with the World. *ALSO* Gravity can Distort Time and Space. So Y E A H
@@Mattno.777 I didn’t say it wasn’t. If you read my point you would have seen many arguments for Gravity. All I’m saying is both of those are speculation, because there is no confirmation of any of the two.
Yeah, but does that not sound like a water type Pokémon idea for you. I mean its a Pokémon...take Araquanid for example. It is essentially the Diving Bell Spider in reverse(it makes water bubbles to stay on land while the real thing makes air bubbles) So it would not be to crazy to believe that instead of shooting bubbles(essentially pockets of air) they made it shoot water instead. Plus pistol shrimps do have one claw that is bigger(like Lockstin mentioned in the video) than the other and the claw can noticeable like "cock back" when getting ready to fire. Also Pistol Shrimp is a crustacean named after a gun just like Clawncher is. Similar to how Octillary is an octopus with tank/artillery traits or Remoraid is based on an archer fish.
I love it, No idea what the origin is, but I want it to be how someone laughed at it's face and then colonialists & missionaries trying to convert it to the latin alphabet.

Much love and respect from the "Armpit of America" aka Indiana lol. :)
I always thought as kid that Palkia is water because the whole space/god theme of sinnoh legends. Dialga represents a solid (steel), Palkia represents liquid (water) and Giratina represents gasses (ghost). Palkia - Liquid Dialga - Solid Giratina - Gas Suicune is water because of the 3 legendary beasts Johto legend, theres some story about thunderbolt that struck a tower, a fire that broke out and then rain that put out the fire. Hence Entei, Raiku, suicune, when ho-oh revived them and gave them their powers based on what went down at that temple place thing.
Uncle Fungus It’s because the universe is said to be made up of these three forms of matter. HOWEVER, that is not actually true, as plasma is the fourth form of matter and is in fact what 99% of our universe is ACTUALLY made of. ....fun fact.
Well I know this probably won't get a response, but Palkia might be loosely based off an old Egyptian primordial deity named Nun, who is believed today to be the Ancient Egyptians interpretation of Space. Which even more convincingly, the Ancient Egyptians thought the night sky was in fact a great ocean, that would certainly explain the water type. Also fun fact, that deity Nun was in fact Ra's father, who was the sun god and head honcho of the Egyptian Pantheon.
As a kid I always assumed Suicune was Ice type _because_ that'd make the legendary beasts land versions of the legendary birds of the previous generation. It was also the version mascot for Pokemon Crystal Version, y'know, ice crystals being water when it's in crystal form. Then when I learned it was Water type I realize it's basically a super Vaporeon, Entei is a super Flareon, and Raikou is a super Jolteon. Which was also a popular fan theory at the time.
19:23 That's the English translator's fault for categorizing Blastoise that. In Japan, it's referred to as the Shell Pokemon alongside Kabutops, but the English category refers them as the Shellfish Pokemon. They do commonly change categories in the localization with multiple Pokemon like Flygon and Xatu (Spirit Pokemon to Mystic Pokemon which still makes sense for Xatu and Flygon... sort of) alongside Chimchar and Grookey (Small Monkey Pokemon to the Chimp Pokemon, but it makes sense for Chimchar)
i would assume it would be able to regenerate itself using regular water molecules. like itd have to have a portion of its actual cells that could recode those molecules to be part of it
@OffBrandAnon Because Giratina has the ability to turn his body into a black misty shadow like substance. And trying to punch a shadow in the face will be about as effective as trying to punch gas in the face.
I have always felt Lapras was most Water Type of Water Types because it is similar to Ancient Creatures that existed during the Mesozoic era. (Not counting the fossils because the process made them partially rock type.)
James Brice just to make it easy, palkia is space but liquid, dialga is time but solid, Giratina is antimatter but gas, the 3 states of matter not including plasma, dialga’s steel typing refers to solid, giratina’s typing is a bit confusing but i guess it’s just to do with gas.
My personal headcanon for why Palkia is Water type is because the multiverse is usually depicted as a group of spheres containing universes, which you could think of as bubbles
Actually palkia gets it's water type because the three legendarys giratina and dialga represent the three states of matter dialga is steel the solid form giratina is ghost the gas form palkia is water the liquid form.
As far as I've heard, Qwilfish isn't *just* a pufferfish. It's also reminiscent of a naval mine, fitting the Johto water types' theme of weapons and war machines.
“Try to guess the Pokémon that is literally water” Uhh... Vaporeon? “Vaporeon” I know a useless fact that will not help me at all later in life, that means I’m better than you
Suicune is actually water type because it represents the rain that extinguished the fire which burned Brass Tower, now known as the Burned Tower. Likewise Raikou represents the lightning that struck the Brass Tower and Entei represents the fire that burned the Brass Tower. Also, Suicune is known for purifying impure water.
I thought the same thing, and as an American I'm sick of American Society throwing thier controversial BS like monkeys throw poop. So I let the gun thing slide.
Nella Ruff There's also "do no evil" where the monkey has his hands on his...dick and balls (Watch Chuggaaconroy's Pokémon Black Walkthrough, he mentions it in either Episode 5 or 6).
I have an interesting fact- Primarina is also based on the Selkie from Celtic mythology. Humans that transform into seals when they wear their magic coat. I'll encourage people to watch Song of the Sea, it's a fantastic movie.
Primarina is mostly inspired by the mythical creatures called Selkies; they take a seal-like form in the water that they can shed to become human-like on land. Just a little tidbit I thought should be included.
Most I've watched always miss that. They always mention Sirens and Mermaids. I can see how some would draw comparisons to Mermaids, since Primarina's lower body and tail are similar in theme and design, but I can't understand the Siren comparison. I remember Sirens having the body of a bird and the head of a woman. I agree, Primarina is largely based off of Selkies. There might also be a little Mermaid inspiration, although that seems to be more of an aesthetic choice to style it up a bit.
@@Nekosage Sirens could be classified as a type of mermaid; they're the ones that are known for luring sailors to crash their ships into rocks with their voices and songs, and I have read somewhere that selkies are also known for their singing as well; that's why Primarina's main/most well known attacks are all based off of singing. I believe the creatures you're thinking about with the body of a bird and the head of a woman are harpies; a staple in Greek mythology.
@@emilyfrost3506 The first versions of Sirens that I legitimately remember seeing have the body of a bird and the head of a woman. That's how early Greek art depicted them: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siren_(mythology) Here's the one on harpies: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpy Yes, the two are somewhat similar in form, but different in action. Sirens stayed around rocky areas of the sea to lure ships to crash into them, that is true. Harpies are known for snatching and eating people. I remember Gaijin Goomba bringing up Selkies singing(and used the movie "Song of the Sea" as one of the examples) in his Primarina video.
Good Video but a few mistakes that even I noticed on the first watch. Mostly Palkia and Suicune. Palkia is the liquid state of matter and Suicune is the rain that put out the fire from the thunderbolt. I think there was like a Pokemon Video on it when they did the whole important story bits in that Pokemon Origins animation. Also, its name means water. And if we're being correct the Aurora Borealis is like more electric then ice.
Marrow Fields About palkia, you are right, but you could just have made palkia the time one, or just the steel one, and it would make more sense, since after all time flows, space seems much more solid than time and Giratina is perfect as it is.
@@AliceIsSleepy Space is about as unexplored as the ocean beneath us. And as for time yes it flows but it's also more structured then space. Time doesn't change because time isn't real. It's something we as a species made up.
I believe Palkia’s water type isn’t because it has an aquatic element, but it’s metaphorical like in typical mythology. Dalgia, Giratina, and Palkia supposed to represent 3 states of matter Solid (steel) liquid (water) and Gas (ghost)
There's actually another reason behind the typings of the entire Creation Trio. Their typings are a reference to the three main forms of matter. - Dialga represents solids, explaining the Steel type. - Palkia represents liquids, hence the Water type. - Giratina represents gas, which is why it's Ghost type.
pegasBaO23 look at the other two Pan/Simi monkeys, specifically their eyes. They have oval shaped eyes with oval pupils, you can see the whites of their eyes around the pupil. If Panpour/Simipour really have white pupils, they take up way more space in the eye oval than the other two - they wouldn’t match the other Pokémon. Also, check Bulbapedia, it confirms that their eyes are closed.
Yes fish do feel fear, pain and other emotions like being scared. Fish are actually facinating beings. In Blue planet 2 they used technology so you could see a whole new side to fish as well as new types you would've never before imagined. I've always instantly been drawn to water pokemon since I was a child. I watched the first season as it aired and thought it was the best thing ever. I guess my love of water types also stems from the fact as a teen I wanted to become a marine biologist.
I think that the Gol- suffix used for both Golduck and Golbat is derived from ghoul, not gold. It makes much more sense as in both cases, its earlier for changes from a vaguely cute-ish if dorky-looking animal into something a bit more unsettling and monstrous. Also, I imagine the SpongeBob style suits being spelled "SCOOWBA" - Self Contained Out Of Water Breathing Apparatus.
I'm a little disappointed you didn't talk about how clauncher and clawitzer's inspiration the pistol shrimp (or snapping shrimp) is capable of essentially shooting a shock wave from its claw that is almost as hot as the sun for a fraction of a second and is capable of breaking glass. Allowing it to inflict massive damage on its prey. That's basically a real life pokemon, my guy.
CrystalFox13 no that's another animal. The mantis shrimp is the one that has the fastest punch in the world. The pistol shrimp is the one that shoots a shockwave bubble
Actually, I just checked, and he apparently got it wrong. Panpour and Simipour's eyes are indeed closed. But that won't surely help to erase that blank eye image from our brains.
@@rontheauraknight9606 Sirens were initially bird hoes but artists found that that didn't make much sense insofar as their association with water and ships, so they just started depicting them as merfolk instead
Honestly I always felt like Raikou holds the other two beasts back. To explain, Entei is associated with Volcanoes, which to me would indicate a Fire/Ground typing, while Suicine is meant to be Water/Ice due to its ability to purify any water it touches and its strong association with the north wind. Then you have Raikou off in the corner sniffing glue with its only logical typing being Mono-Electric. Though I could see it possibly being Electric/Normal with an emphasis on Sound attacks(Its Pokedex mentions its Bark being like a thunder-strike, and most sound based moves are Normal) and STAB Extremespeed(the Pokedex references it as being extremely fast) added to its movelist to represent both Lightning and Thunder. That said Electric/Normal is still a stretch given that Normal typically means something is plain, or is "we don't know what the heck type to give this".
Maybe Raikou could be electric/flying. It doesn't have wings but it could easily be remained as part flying. It can be the beast of storms with the air magic of winds and clouds with the electric magic of lightning. Tornadus, Thundrus and Landerous are all flying, and all have clouds instead of wings. Tornadus is even a rare case of a pure flying type. Raiku has fluff on its back, that resembles a storm cloud. So it could work as part flying. Then all legendary beasts have dual types.
I think that Palkia being a water type is a reference to how ancient human civilizations such as Egypt thought that space was water and that the world was created from a bunch of water. It's also interesting how in Hebrew cosmology that the firmament is what separates the waters of space from the Earth and that Yahweh separated the waters from the waters to form the Earth. There also was a Greek philosopher named Thales who not only believed that the Earth was sitting in a vast ocean of water, but also that all material things could be broken down to being made of water. It seems that this typing makes more sense with that history in mind and how people have associated space/matter with water. (Edit) Man, I was not expecting to get some thumbs up for pointing out a small thing!
@@OriginalGameteer *steel for solid and yeah thats way, and its a stupid reason. Space and time isnt matter. They should have had specific legendaries for the states of matter :/
I've heard that castform is supposed to be a water molecule. The head part would be the oxygen atom while it's lower half would be the smaller hydrogen atoms
would be interesting. we have crocodile pokemon that live in the desert, and crocodiles/alligators are not far from salamanders, which are commonly associated with fire. a fire crocodile seems like an obvious choice for gen 8
Wouldn't having a fire-breathing (or just fire associated) reptile just make people question why it isn't a dragon, like that one other fire-breathing reptile that people questioned its non-dragon status for years? Which leads to the question as to why there are so few dragon/fire types. Because one is a legendary (Resharim), one is a mega (Charizard X), and one is a tortoise (Turtonator).
It's because fire breathing dragons arent common in the Japanese mythos that's a western thing. The two closest in style to a western dragon are charizard (not a dragon except its mega) and dragonite.
@@maelstrom1642 I agree the pans were really cute,the simis though,they are all ugly but simipour has to be the best looking cause it's not as bad as you know who,I'll give my pans an everstone
Palkia is water type because Giratina, Dialga and Palkia all represent 3 forms of matter. Giratina is represents gases so it's Ghost type, Dialga represents solids so it's Steel type, Palkia represents liquids so it's Water type...... Though to be fair they could have made Palkia's design fit better with its typing
Palkia is also Water type because of Space. There is a lot of Water-Ice in Space; like a lot. Also Palkia, Dialga, Giratina and Arceus are literally Pokémon Gods, and Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina are physical representations of Space, Time, and Dimension.
I'm sure the eyes are just closed, and she has white eyelids. It's a common stylistic choice, and it's probably just an oversight that the other Simis don't have em
I always thought panpour and simipours eyes were closed. You just blew my mind. As for suicune. Not a fan of it but I am a big fan of gen 2 in general so I knew it was water.
So 2 things. I understand I'm late and its likely that these have already been commented but whatever. 1: "Coleocanth" is actually "Coelacanth" to my understanding, that is how I've always heard it and thats how I've always believed it to be. 2: The Blue Whale is actually NOT the largest THING to have ever lived, just the largest animal. The Armillaria ostoyae is a fungus which basically reproduces / clones itself several times over and over again to fit the mass of more than 7 blue whales. There is also a TREE which basically clones itself, called "Pando". It uses it's roots to sprout new trees up in different areas. Both of these being actually bigger than the blue whale itself. *But wailord should be way bigger than it is*
I don't know if Lockstin reads comments, but if you're wondering why rotom has water 24:02, it's because it's been mentioned a few times already that Water Type moves are not real water. You can't sate your thirst in a desert with their water. That water also doesn't go into the water cycle. Rotom-W is most likely just conjuring temporary faux-water. A lot of Pokemon powers are straight up magic, and recent games have been pushing the narrative that typed energy is powered by lifeforce.
When the bronze Tower was burned down in generation 2, the legendary Pokemon Ho-Oh came down after the Flames were put out by the rain and resurrected the three Pokemon that died, granting them the powers of the Thunder that struck the tower, the fire that burned it down and the rain that put it out, that is why suicune is a water type
I knew about Vaporeon, but Frillish/Jellicent was also a Pokémon I'd considered for the most watery water type. After all, half of Jellicent's Pokédex entries state that "Its body is mostly seawater."
I thought the reason Palkia was Water was to fit a theme of matter with the Sinnoh Legend Chad trio. Steel -> Solid, Water -> Liquid, and Ghost -> Gas,
I think that Suicune may be only a water type because of that myth/theory that says that the legendary beast are the revived/reincarnated versions of the three pokemon that died in the Burned Tower and that were brought back to life by Ho-oh. Supposedly, the three eeveelutions (vaporeon, flareon and jolteon). Which would explain why Suicune, despite all the ice related inspirations is a water type pokemon.
About Squirtle, Wartortle and Blastoise: Tortoises are not just related to turtles, they *are* turtles. Also, the easiest way to tell a tortoise from a not-tortoise is in the way they walk. Tortoises walk on their toes, while non-tortises walk flat footed. All this to say, all tortoises are turtles, not all turtles are tortoises, and the squirtle line are turtles, but not tortoises.
The actual division of turtles is between side necked turtles and straight necked turtles. Both of them are aquatic in nature, and so are full blown turtles. The straight necked turtles has plenty of regular freshwater turtles. It also has soft shell turtles and sea turtles. Interestingly enough this group also has tortoises. In a way tortoises and sea turtles are opposites in having extremes of different life styles. Sea turtles are aquatic to the extreme, while tortoises are terrestrial to the extreme. Lifestyle is the one main thing that makes tortoises different from regular turtles.. That is some neat divergent evolution there.. Tortoises don't form thier own major group, in the way people may think they do. It is just that the turtles formed a bunch of thier own little offshoots, and one of them became tortoises. So tortoises are turtles, because they evolved from turtles. They form a natural group. The technical term for such a group is a clade. Not all turtles are tortoises, but all tortoises are definitely turtles. The Squirtle line is obviously a turtle. I won't even call them tortoises just based on water type alone. The Archen line is definitely a turtles. This is partially due to the water typing and partially because of the clear sea turtle look. Pokemon already has good tortoise representation as there are those that don't have the water type. These are more terrestrial ones, that look like tortoises.. Torkoal is one, due to the fire typing. The turtwig line is another, even though there is ankylosaur mixed in. There is grass and ground.

When I first saw suicune I thought it was ice type because of the crystal and frost patterns on its body and when I got one of those big Pokémon books and saw the page of suicune I was confused to see it be a water type
Honestly, Suicune has a perfectly good explanation for being a Water Type: water is in its name (so to speak). If you take Suicune's Japanese spelling, "スイクン"(Suikun), and change it into kanji, you get "水君", meaning "Water Monarch", just as Entei's name means "Flame Emperor" and Raikou's name means "Thunder Duke"
blarg2429 well name doesn’t matter, spicy enough is the revived Pokémon after the tower burnt and was put out by rain, this is why entei is fire (what burnt it down) raikou is electric (a lightning bolt caused the fire) and suicune is water (what out out the fire) it’s just the traits ho-oh have to them when he gave them life again.
I expected it to be Tentacool because it's a jellyfish, but I didn't think of Vaporeon at first. Huh. Now I just remembered about Frillish and Jellicent......wow that wasn't what I expected at all.
He's the point of view character. But the guy who "fell in love" with his landlords wife right after rescuing her(and later twice failed to rescue her again), then shortly afterwards began an affair with Madame bonacieux, and then to end up being infatuated with Milady De Winter? Who fought by the heroic title characters side as an interruption to his duels for offending all three? Yeah, even in a novel written like a self insert fanfic of a dude going around meeting heroes and banging women, he kinda comes off badly. :P
d’Artagnan wasn't a member of the Musketeers, he was master of the watch. That's what a lot of people doesn't know. The three musketeers are Athos, Porthos and Aramis.
I'm guessing for the pure just water, water form castform? I know this has been a while but apperently I missed the water type one, but I don't actually remember if your going with forms or not. If not I got no idea.
All these water type pokemon and Game Freak still hasn't made a dolphin pokemon. (If you don't count Kyogre since it's an orca which is in the dolphin family)

The eyes are just closed. He got it wrong in a lot of things and failed to mention some other things. For example, Palkia’s design is based on the Goblin Shark.
If I recall correctly, the reason of Suicune's typing (and the other two beasts) is due to the Burnt Tower legend, thats says that three pokemon died when the Brass tower suddenly started burning, then was strucked by a lightning and then it was put down by a mysterious downpour, Ho-oh then gave life again to those three pokemon and gave them legendary powers based on the fire, lightning, and rain that the tower went through.
So, lore wise it makes sense that Suicune is Water type.
A theory I've heard of is that the three unnamed Pokémon that perished in the blaze were a Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon.
yes, its good lore, but his design and description resembles ice too much
@@Chaos89P Look more like Zygarde 10%. And Dogs...
Besides the "Sui" in Suicune's name comes from the Chinese word for water and its the mascot of crystal version, with crystals being hydrated minerals
@DeathBoo
The legend says the Tower was struck by Lightning (thus Raikou's the oldest of the trio), set Aflame (thus Entei being the second Ho-oh created), and the fire was put out by the purifying rain, (thus Suicune being the last of the three, and its ability to purify any water it touches).
Suicune is water type due to the story behind the three legendary beasts, which are cats (Entei is a lion, Raikou a tiger and Suicune a leopard) Raikou represents the lightning bolt that struck the tower, Entei represents the flames that engulfed the tower and Suicune represents the rain that put it out
Also Suicune can purify any pool of water... and it could be that it also follows the theory tht the three pokemon who died were Flareon, Jolteon and Vaporeon as the dog trio share the same typing as the OG eeveeloutions. also based on the logic hes using then wouldn't he insist Celesteela (who hes covered twice) be a grass type? Celesteela learns more grass moves than Steel/flying... yet hes ok pointing out its based on a myth... Hmmmm….

Yeah, you have to work from the assumption that it's water type for a reason and find out why rather than looking at it and guessing its type then saying "well that can't be right" when you find out you're wrong. There's obvious reasons for it to be water type, even if taken on its own ice would be more obvious.

Giratina, Dialga and Palkia represent solid, liquid, and gas. Giratina being dragon ghost ( *gas* ), Dialga being dragon steel ( *solid* ) and Palkia being dragon water ( *liquid* ).
Giratina is actually anti-matter
@@meme_aids they represent multiple things. Space, time, and anitmatter, but also liquid, solid, and gas.
Ecos Adventurer They never say antimatter in the Games or Anime, or by Gamefreak, that’s just speculation. Gravity seems to be a better explanation for it and it’s destructive nature. It flies without using air magic, and it’s spectral wings shouldn’t be able to fly in the real world, so the ability to control gravity would explain this away, and the distortion world plays with gravity by making water flow “up” and have floating chunks of land. Gravity can also be very destructive, so banishing it makes sense. Obviously that’s also speculation, but this is just to say to not spout out speculation as fact.
@@sylvereon No. Im Pretty sure its Gravity. When Matter and Antimatter touch. They are anihilated.

@@Mattno.777 I didn’t say it wasn’t. If you read my point you would have seen many arguments for Gravity. All I’m saying is both of those are speculation, because there is no confirmation of any of the two.

I’m pretty sure that Clauncher and Clawitzer are also based on the pistol shrimp.
I dont think the pistol shrimp shoots water, I've heard that it closes its pincer so hard that the bubbles instantly pop and cause major damage
Yeah, but does that not sound like a water type Pokémon idea for you. I mean its a Pokémon...take Araquanid for example. It is essentially the Diving Bell Spider in reverse(it makes water bubbles to stay on land while the real thing makes air bubbles) So it would not be to crazy to believe that instead of shooting bubbles(essentially pockets of air) they made it shoot water instead. Plus pistol shrimps do have one claw that is bigger(like Lockstin mentioned in the video) than the other and the claw can noticeable like "cock back" when getting ready to fire. Also Pistol Shrimp is a crustacean named after a gun just like Clawncher is. Similar to how Octillary is an octopus with tank/artillery traits or Remoraid is based on an archer fish.
@@c.q.cumber5870 Bubble is a water type move. 👀

I always thought as kid that Palkia is water because the whole space/god theme of sinnoh legends. Dialga represents a solid (steel), Palkia represents liquid (water) and Giratina represents gasses (ghost).
Palkia - Liquid
Dialga - Solid
Giratina - Gas
Suicune is water because of the 3 legendary beasts Johto legend, theres some story about thunderbolt that struck a tower, a fire that broke out and then rain that put out the fire. Hence Entei, Raiku, suicune, when ho-oh revived them and gave them their powers based on what went down at that temple place thing.
What does the space/god theme have to do with solids liquids and gases
A bit late dont you think
Uncle Fungus
It’s because the universe is said to be made up of these three forms of matter. HOWEVER, that is not actually true, as plasma is the fourth form of matter and is in fact what 99% of our universe is ACTUALLY made of.
....fun fact.
Pretty sure arcues is plasma BUT girtina isn't gas its ACCTULLY anti-matter
Well I know this probably won't get a response, but Palkia might be loosely based off an old Egyptian primordial deity named Nun, who is believed today to be the Ancient Egyptians interpretation of Space. Which even more convincingly, the Ancient Egyptians thought the night sky was in fact a great ocean, that would certainly explain the water type.
Also fun fact, that deity Nun was in fact Ra's father, who was the sun god and head honcho of the Egyptian Pantheon.

As a kid I always assumed Suicune was Ice type _because_ that'd make the legendary beasts land versions of the legendary birds of the previous generation. It was also the version mascot for Pokemon Crystal Version, y'know, ice crystals being water when it's in crystal form.
Then when I learned it was Water type I realize it's basically a super Vaporeon, Entei is a super Flareon, and Raikou is a super Jolteon. Which was also a popular fan theory at the time.
really vaporeon is made of water the ultimate water type

Palkia also references one of the 3 main states of matter, that beeing liquid(Dialga is solid and Giratina is gas).

Also "H" is the most Common element in the universe so water makes kinda sense
niels 36 what has hydrogen got to do with anything
@OffBrandAnon Because Giratina has the ability to turn his body into a black misty shadow like substance. And trying to punch a shadow in the face will be about as effective as trying to punch gas in the face.

I have an interesting fact- Primarina is also based on the Selkie from Celtic mythology. Humans that transform into seals when they wear their magic coat. I'll encourage people to watch Song of the Sea, it's a fantastic movie.
I liked it
Primarina is mostly inspired by the mythical creatures called Selkies; they take a seal-like form in the water that they can shed to become human-like on land. Just a little tidbit I thought should be included.
Most I've watched always miss that. They always mention Sirens and Mermaids. I can see how some would draw comparisons to Mermaids, since Primarina's lower body and tail are similar in theme and design, but I can't understand the Siren comparison. I remember Sirens having the body of a bird and the head of a woman.
I agree, Primarina is largely based off of Selkies. There might also be a little Mermaid inspiration, although that seems to be more of an aesthetic choice to style it up a bit.
@@Nekosage Sirens could be classified as a type of mermaid; they're the ones that are known for luring sailors to crash their ships into rocks with their voices and songs, and I have read somewhere that selkies are also known for their singing as well; that's why Primarina's main/most well known attacks are all based off of singing. I believe the creatures you're thinking about with the body of a bird and the head of a woman are harpies; a staple in Greek mythology.
@@emilyfrost3506
The first versions of Sirens that I legitimately remember seeing have the body of a bird and the head of a woman. That's how early Greek art depicted them:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siren_(mythology)
Here's the one on harpies:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpy
Yes, the two are somewhat similar in form, but different in action. Sirens stayed around rocky areas of the sea to lure ships to crash into them, that is true. Harpies are known for snatching and eating people.
I remember Gaijin Goomba bringing up Selkies singing(and used the movie "Song of the Sea" as one of the examples) in his Primarina video.
"Selkies and the Endless Obsession" from Between the Buried and Me. You're welcome :)
Also the sirens
Good Video but a few mistakes that even I noticed on the first watch. Mostly Palkia and Suicune. Palkia is the liquid state of matter and Suicune is the rain that put out the fire from the thunderbolt. I think there was like a Pokemon Video on it when they did the whole important story bits in that Pokemon Origins animation. Also, its name means water. And if we're being correct the Aurora Borealis is like more electric then ice.

About palkia, you are right, but you could just have made palkia the time one, or just the steel one, and it would make more sense, since after all time flows, space seems much more solid than time and Giratina is perfect as it is.
@@AliceIsSleepy Space is about as unexplored as the ocean beneath us. And as for time yes it flows but it's also more structured then space. Time doesn't change because time isn't real. It's something we as a species made up.
if palkia is liquid (water), then that must mean dialga is solid (steel) and giratina is gas (ghost). nice

I believe Palkia’s water type isn’t because it has an aquatic element, but it’s metaphorical like in typical mythology. Dalgia, Giratina, and Palkia supposed to represent 3 states of matter Solid (steel) liquid (water) and Gas (ghost)
There's actually another reason behind the typings of the entire Creation Trio. Their typings are a reference to the three main forms of matter.
- Dialga represents solids, explaining the Steel type.
- Palkia represents liquids, hence the Water type.
- Giratina represents gas, which is why it's Ghost type.

pegasBaO23 look at the other two Pan/Simi monkeys, specifically their eyes. They have oval shaped eyes with oval pupils, you can see the whites of their eyes around the pupil. If Panpour/Simipour really have white pupils, they take up way more space in the eye oval than the other two - they wouldn’t match the other Pokémon. Also, check Bulbapedia, it confirms that their eyes are closed.
Yes fish do feel fear, pain and other emotions like being scared. Fish are actually facinating beings. In Blue planet 2 they used technology so you could see a whole new side to fish as well as new types you would've never before imagined.
I've always instantly been drawn to water pokemon since I was a child. I watched the first season as it aired and thought it was the best thing ever. I guess my love of water types also stems from the fact as a teen I wanted to become a marine biologist.

I think that the Gol- suffix used for both Golduck and Golbat is derived from ghoul, not gold. It makes much more sense as in both cases, its earlier for changes from a vaguely cute-ish if dorky-looking animal into something a bit more unsettling and monstrous.

I'm a little disappointed you didn't talk about how clauncher and clawitzer's inspiration the pistol shrimp (or snapping shrimp) is capable of essentially shooting a shock wave from its claw that is almost as hot as the sun for a fraction of a second and is capable of breaking glass.

Vaporeon. I immediately thought of Acid Armour
AznYunHou can't believe I didn't think of that after reading the manga. I was thinking castform
I remember hearing that the Egyptians thought that the night sky (space) was actually a huge sea...maybe that's the water type explanation for Palkia?
You know that makes sense
For real, I paused the video and thought of it and immediately Vaporeon comes to mind.
I feel so proud of myself for answering correctly😭
Suicune symbolises rain that stopped ember in tower where legendary beast burned and were resurrected by Ho-Oh
Exactly
Mistrz Demolki in the games but the real world inspiration is not that.
Honestly I always felt like Raikou holds the other two beasts back. To explain, Entei is associated with Volcanoes, which to me would indicate a Fire/Ground typing, while Suicine is meant to be Water/Ice due to its ability to purify any water it touches and its strong association with the north wind.
Then you have Raikou off in the corner sniffing glue with its only logical typing being Mono-Electric. Though I could see it possibly being Electric/Normal with an emphasis on Sound attacks(Its Pokedex mentions its Bark being like a thunder-strike, and most sound based moves are Normal) and STAB Extremespeed(the Pokedex references it as being extremely fast) added to its movelist to represent both Lightning and Thunder. That said Electric/Normal is still a stretch given that Normal typically means something is plain, or is "we don't know what the heck type to give this".
Maybe Raikou could be electric/flying. It doesn't have wings but it could easily be remained as part flying. It can be the beast of storms with the air magic of winds and clouds with the electric magic of lightning. Tornadus, Thundrus and Landerous are all flying, and all have clouds instead of wings. Tornadus is even a rare case of a pure flying type. Raiku has fluff on its back, that resembles a storm cloud. So it could work as part flying. Then all legendary beasts have dual types.
I think that Palkia being a water type is a reference to how ancient human civilizations such as Egypt thought that space was water and that the world was created from a bunch of water. It's also interesting how in Hebrew cosmology that the firmament is what separates the waters of space from the Earth and that Yahweh separated the waters from the waters to form the Earth. There also was a Greek philosopher named Thales who not only believed that the Earth was sitting in a vast ocean of water, but also that all material things could be broken down to being made of water. It seems that this typing makes more sense with that history in mind and how people have associated space/matter with water. (Edit) Man, I was not expecting to get some thumbs up for pointing out a small thing!
I think it's a reference to the liquid state of matter. Dialga is steel, for solid, and Giratina is ghost, for gas.
@@OriginalGameteer *steel for solid and yeah thats way, and its a stupid reason. Space and time isnt matter. They should have had specific legendaries for the states of matter :/

Hydrogen is _very_ abundant in space and oxygen is created through stellar nuclear fusion.
@@OriginalGameteer Giratina is based off of Gas, not air. Even then it still should've been a Poison type.

Alligators release heat through there mouths?How don't we have a fire crocodile yet?
would be interesting. we have crocodile pokemon that live in the desert, and crocodiles/alligators are not far from salamanders, which are commonly associated with fire. a fire crocodile seems like an obvious choice for gen 8
Wouldn't having a fire-breathing (or just fire associated) reptile just make people question why it isn't a dragon, like that one other fire-breathing reptile that people questioned its non-dragon status for years?
Which leads to the question as to why there are so few dragon/fire types. Because one is a legendary (Resharim), one is a mega (Charizard X), and one is a tortoise (Turtonator).
Let's see. We have a water type croc/gator and we have a ... dark... ground... gator? So why not a fire gator?
@@Necrikus unless there's a croc dragon I don't think so
It's because fire breathing dragons arent common in the Japanese mythos that's a western thing. The two closest in style to a western dragon are charizard (not a dragon except its mega) and dragonite.

Palkia is water type because Giratina, Dialga and Palkia all represent 3 forms of matter. Giratina is represents gases so it's Ghost type, Dialga represents solids so it's Steel type, Palkia represents liquids so it's Water type...... Though to be fair they could have made Palkia's design fit better with its typing
It could also reference to real world creation myths like in the book of genesis.
I always figured palkia being water type was a reference to Mesopotamian Tiamat
Palkia is also Water type because of Space. There is a lot of Water-Ice in Space; like a lot. Also Palkia, Dialga, Giratina and Arceus are literally Pokémon Gods, and Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina are physical representations of Space, Time, and Dimension.
Giratina sounds like she should've been a poison type instead of a ghost.
The most likely reason why Suicune is water and not ice is the whole Vaporeon theory but yes it is definitely more icy than watery
Yes Vaporeon IS water

2: The Blue Whale is actually NOT the largest THING to have ever lived, just the largest animal. The Armillaria ostoyae
is a fungus which basically reproduces / clones itself several times over and over again to fit the mass of more than 7 blue whales. There is also a TREE which basically clones itself, called "Pando". It uses it's roots to sprout new trees up in different areas. Both of these being actually bigger than the blue whale itself.

I don't know if Lockstin reads comments, but if you're wondering why rotom has water 24:02, it's because it's been mentioned a few times already that Water Type moves are not real water. You can't sate your thirst in a desert with their water. That water also doesn't go into the water cycle. Rotom-W is most likely just conjuring temporary faux-water.
A lot of Pokemon powers are straight up magic, and recent games have been pushing the narrative that typed energy is powered by lifeforce.
When the bronze Tower was burned down in generation 2, the legendary Pokemon Ho-Oh came down after the Flames were put out by the rain and resurrected the three Pokemon that died, granting them the powers of the Thunder that struck the tower, the fire that burned it down and the rain that put it out, that is why suicune is a water type
I'm really hoping they see this comment. I got so aggravated at the end of the video when he was talking bout suicune
Honestly, I thought he would mention this, but it seems like he didn't do all his research.
22:22 that purple and green coral is actually from subnautica.

Mety333?
hoenn confirmed
Loved this video. Can you please do one for every type? Would be super cool
Vaporeron? Really!? I never would have guessed that! The only thing I could come up with was Castform Rainy. The more you know, I guess.
Lucas Soares Vaporeon actually turns into water on the show. In the first series.
I knew about Vaporeon, but Frillish/Jellicent was also a Pokémon I'd considered for the most watery water type. After all, half of Jellicent's Pokédex entries state that "Its body is mostly seawater."
manaphy? Phione?
I thought of Jellicent
Same
I thought the reason Palkia was Water was to fit a theme of matter with the Sinnoh Legend Chad trio. Steel -> Solid, Water -> Liquid, and Ghost -> Gas,
OffBrandAnon nah
@OffBrandAnon ...rotom?
it is that's what I was thinking
Surely it would be Ice to represent Solid, not steel?
Cometmoon448 that does make more sence
Ducklett is a beautiful boi. How dare you call him ugly!?
Umm...
@@dainkling181 What?
Cute actually
Did you just assume it gender? è.é
@@luxurio6648 mostly referring to my ducklett which is male. Wait I take that back yes. I'm clearly assuming. >:D
I think that Suicune may be only a water type because of that myth/theory that says that the legendary beast are the revived/reincarnated versions of the three pokemon that died in the Burned Tower and that were brought back to life by Ho-oh. Supposedly, the three eeveelutions (vaporeon, flareon and jolteon). Which would explain why Suicune, despite all the ice related inspirations is a water type pokemon.
About Squirtle, Wartortle and Blastoise:
Tortoises are not just related to turtles, they *are* turtles. Also, the easiest way to tell a tortoise from a not-tortoise is in the way they walk. Tortoises walk on their toes, while non-tortises walk flat footed. All this to say, all tortoises are turtles, not all turtles are tortoises, and the squirtle line are turtles, but not tortoises.
@ythrom. Kids these days, with their me-mes.
@ythrom. That's not a boomer, that's a well-informed person!
How does a tortoise not walk flat footed? I mean I imagine their feet like an elephant, and there very heavy I think
The actual division of turtles is between side necked turtles and straight necked turtles. Both of them are aquatic in nature, and so are full blown turtles. The straight necked turtles has plenty of regular freshwater turtles. It also has soft shell turtles and sea turtles. Interestingly enough this group also has tortoises. In a way tortoises and sea turtles are opposites in having extremes of different life styles. Sea turtles are aquatic to the extreme, while tortoises are terrestrial to the extreme. Lifestyle is the one main thing that makes tortoises different from regular turtles.. That is some neat divergent evolution there.. Tortoises don't form thier own major group, in the way people may think they do. It is just that the turtles formed a bunch of thier own little offshoots, and one of them became tortoises. So tortoises are turtles, because they evolved from turtles. They form a natural group. The technical term for such a group is a clade. Not all turtles are tortoises, but all tortoises are definitely turtles. The Squirtle line is obviously a turtle. I won't even call them tortoises just based on water type alone. The Archen line is definitely a turtles. This is partially due to the water typing and partially because of the clear sea turtle look. Pokemon already has good tortoise representation as there are those that don't have the water type. These are more terrestrial ones, that look like tortoises.. Torkoal is one, due to the fire typing. The turtwig line is another, even though there is ankylosaur mixed in. There is grass and ground.
Fun fact about the Marill line. They're the only Pikachu clones that aren't single stage or electric.
*THATS A PIKA CLONE?!*
@@MarrowsRedemptionArc Yup. The very first one. When Gen 2 was being revealed, there were several sources that were mistakenly calling it Pikablu.
Maybe not single stage but last time I checked, Mimikyu isn't exactly the sparky type. Although it can learn quite a few electric moves!
@@bluemoonhub togedamaru tho
@@Nixiefr Plusle and Minun are Pika Clones and live in the same gen and region. And I am pretty sure that Mimikyu is a Pika Clone. So really, anything is possible in the Pokémon world
1:00
Castform rain.
Edit: Damnit, I thought I was so clever.
Same
Jack/John Carpenter Same lol! I just put that!
Me too.
I thought so too xD
Me to lol
When I first saw suicune I thought it was ice type because of the crystal and frost patterns on its body and when I got one of those big Pokémon books and saw the page of suicune I was confused to see it be a water type
Honestly, Suicune has a perfectly good explanation for being a Water Type: water is in its name (so to speak). If you take Suicune's Japanese spelling, "スイクン"(Suikun), and change it into kanji, you get "水君", meaning "Water Monarch", just as Entei's name means "Flame Emperor" and Raikou's name means "Thunder Duke"
They almost certainly came up with the pokemon first and then named them, which invalidates your explanation-- you've got the causation backwards.
It’s the rain that put out the fire caused by a lighting bolt at the temple.
blarg2429 well name doesn’t matter, spicy enough is the revived Pokémon after the tower burnt and was put out by rain, this is why entei is fire (what burnt it down) raikou is electric (a lightning bolt caused the fire) and suicune is water (what out out the fire) it’s just the traits ho-oh have to them when he gave them life again.
@@jrendon137 and those three that was ressurected by Ho-Oh was Flareon Jolteon Vaporeon. Correct?
Silver Eevee I don’t wanna say yes or no to the eeveelutions theory with that because like you said that’s where it gets unclear
I expected it to be Tentacool because it's a jellyfish, but I didn't think of Vaporeon at first. Huh. Now I just remembered about Frillish and Jellicent......wow that wasn't what I expected at all.
I thought that too.
I thought he was going to say Castform in his rain form.
I expected Jellicent and Frillish as I thought they were like 99% water.

7:14 I wonder if Lock went back to video after seeing Basculegion
"The youngest member of the musketeer, and the lamest"
He's the litteral hero of the novel XD
Hi
He's the point of view character. But the guy who "fell in love" with his landlords wife right after rescuing her(and later twice failed to rescue her again), then shortly afterwards began an affair with Madame bonacieux, and then to end up being infatuated with Milady De Winter?
Who fought by the heroic title characters side as an interruption to his duels for offending all three?
Yeah, even in a novel written like a self insert fanfic of a dude going around meeting heroes and banging women, he kinda comes off badly. :P
Being the hero doesn't mean that he is interesting
d’Artagnan wasn't a member of the Musketeers, he was master of the watch. That's what a lot of people doesn't know. The three musketeers are Athos, Porthos and Aramis.
This is where the man fails in his information. He sucks with literature, yet he excels at myth. Go figure.
I thought that clauncher and clawitzer were based off of the pistol shrimp.
GameSam They are...technically.
They are
I literally did not notice until this video, but Gorebyss has a seashell bra.... wtf?
Yep, fish titties
Nidoqueen has boobs too, whaddya expect?
I'm guessing for the pure just water, water form castform? I know this has been a while but apperently I missed the water type one, but I don't actually remember if your going with forms or not. If not I got no idea.
14:49 “Even his name is lame and a hard to pronounce”
d’Artagnan = dar-tan-yan (it’s French. Don’t question it.)
It's similar to how one would pronounce cognac.
He got coelacanth way wrong as well
All these water type pokemon and Game Freak still hasn't made a dolphin pokemon. (If you don't count Kyogre since it's an orca which is in the dolphin family)
I don't it's more of a whale than a dolfin in it's design.
We also still need a common fly Pokemon, and a Griffin.
It boggles my mind that they were *so close* to having a Fire/Water Dolphin Pokemon in Gen II. I mean, it existed in the demo versions people played as Space World, it was *so close* to being an official Pokemon. >_
@@tjallan53149 that was a Sea Lion not a Dolphin
Morphstar changeling its based on a killer whale which is a dolphin
Oh my Jesus! I never realized panpour and semipour had white eyes, I just thought their eyes were always closed. I'm shook!
I’m pretty sure they are just closed. He got a lot of stuff wrong lol
It's meant to embody see no evil, so it's eyes are closed
The eyes are just closed. He got it wrong in a lot of things and failed to mention some other things. For example, Palkia’s design is based on the Goblin Shark.
