    Another inspiration for Slowking could possibly be Mad Doctors, or even Sorcerers. Slowking's entries on the website line up with how Mad Docs and Sorcerers are usually presented as morally grey to slightly evil (if they aren't the villains and presented as pure evil), but have a very deep understanding of their fields, like how (I mistakenly put Dr. initially) Victor Frankenstein was able to stitch together body parts to create his monster. And since the only difference between poison and medicine is time and dosage, if Slowking learns any form of healing/restoration moves it would truly embody that teaching, and the characteristics of mad doctors and sorcerers

    • @UndeadGhostGirl
      @UndeadGhostGirl 4 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      Fun fact, Victor Frankenstein was never a doctor. He created his monster while he was still attending college and upon seeing the eyes of his creation dropped out and vowed to never dabble in science again.

    I can see Slowking being basic on the Mad King George the third.
    George III died blind, deaf and mad on January 29, 1820. His illnesses may have been caused by porphyria, an inherited metabolic disorder, though a 2005 analysis of hair samples suggested arsenic poisoning (from medicines and cosmetics) as a possible cause. He is buried in St. George's Chapel.
    👀 Note: Slowking is blind and deaf and Shellder became its eyes and ears. And he die from an illness that was caused by a medicine poisoning.

      other people made good points, but but to add I can also definitely say that poison fits in the notion of parasitism being a form of illness.
      The slowking isn't dead, but it's sick, with the parasitic shellder having taken control of its weakened state. Not to mention that they apparently both became this way because the shellder's brain got juiced up by the "spices" produced by slowking's body, and thus another tie to the poison type.

    You pointed out how trees were important for a lot of the myths.
    Well to tie them into Slowpoke, to evolve one into a Galarian Slowbro, you had to use Galarica twigs found from trees, and make them into a cuff for Slowpoke to wear.
    So do you think the twigs maybe used again for Galarian Slowking, but as like a crown it wears, before Shellder becomes it's new crown?

  • @alienstar2088
    @alienstar2088 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think an interesting thing to note about Galarian Slowking is that half of its body is purple. The reason this is so interesting is because if we are to believe the Shelder upon its head is vampiric, it could be eating away at the Slowking's body. Usually when blood is unable to access certain points in the body, they become dark blue or purple from lack of blood flow. Meaning, Slowking might also be undead, much like the vampiric inspiration.

      This right here. Since the tail is conical in shape, it would make sense that the shellder ends up growing around it to create that spiral shape. I mean, the tail is a constant, regrowing source of food for the shellder, so why wouldn’t it grow?

    This was super interesting! I came up with a theory based around that and part of the old datamine and returning pokemon, so spoilers (kinda):
    The tree's otherworldly origins and the fact that we know the Ultra Beasts have a role in one of the story's parts from the datamined title cards links up quite well! I'm going to guess the tree (and Calyrex) are what keep life in the Crown Tundra stable, but because the tree gives off a lot of dynamax energy to do that Ultra Beasts show up and start attacking and/or disturbing it similar to how they're drawn to Ultra energy. Then you have to defeat/catch them to stop the birds/regis/Calyrex losing control or something.

    I think that Galarian Slowking's design plays on the idea of the Puppet King, the idea that the person in charge isn't really in charge because there's someone behind the scenes (usually even unknown to the King) pulling the strings.
    In this case, the Shellder bit down so far that it is now essentially the one in control. It's possible the Slowking is still alert in there and believes it is making decisions but as it turns out, it's just a puppet now.

They sound on the surface like they could be connected until you remember Morgan's schemes basically amounted to Magical Pranks like sending the Green Knight to have his head chopped off, also when Arthur falls in battle against Mordred the first Sorceress to come heal him is his sister Morgan Ley Fey who had given up with her schemes to go live with her other Sorceress friends on the Island of Avalon.
