Technically, Hisuian shouldn’t count because at the time of those games, war crimes hadn’t been invented yet.
@@Frogboyaidan
Sinistcha & Poltchageist: They steal people's souls. Yeah. Sinistcha is even worse since it uses a tea cup as a booby trap to steal people's souls.
Okidogi: "Okidogi is a ruffian with a short temper." Depending on this "short temper" it could be indiscriminate attack like Primeape.
Fezandipiti: "scatters pheromones that captivate people and pokemon." Uh, depending on what exactly it does, could count as mind control and I think using pheromones counts as some chemical shit but I don't exactly know since I don't think people have tried using pheromones in war.
Gouging Fire: It "rampages and spouts pillars of flame". Yeah id say this could count as indiscriminate attack and also incendiary weaponry, especially since it's probably burning down the forests.
Raging Bolt: it "incinerates everything around it with lightning". Incendiary weaponry, yeah.
Iron Crown: There was "an incident in which it launched shining blades to cut everything around it to pieces." If this really means everything, then yeah, I'd say that's probably indiscriminate attack.
Pecharunt: Pecharunt is a hardened war criminal, using poison and mind control at the same time. I think it's pretty obvious why it's bad.
I feel like someone at gamefreaks has an insane hate for mountains, normal weather, souls, and children in this order
I think it's just their version of "go to the toughest guy in prison and punch them in the face". Except the guy they're punching in the face is a mountain.
you are forgetting the indian elephants
Well some of the Pokemons are based on Japanese youkai, some youkai love human's soul or trick them to be eaten, youkai exist because of human's fear and imagination and children love to imagining things.
That's like the average dutch person
@@domesticcat1725 nice
"I dont get why they havent hunted most ghost pokemon to extinction yet",
i dont know why but i feel like they already tried that
This is it, the best joke.
thats actually part of stantlers lore
@@asmodeus304 which I have no idea how they've managed to hunt practically cthulu to near extinction
Diamond/Pearl sort of touch on it, a dude starts killing Pokemon so Pokemon intentionally disappear causing a famine. Humanity is held hostage by Pokemon.
Nah they alrdy did before they tried.
Calling something that can destroy the universe a “war criminal” is the equivalent of calling Hitler a “not very good person”.
can one even judge a being that powerful? Like, if you literally control time and space, the words "war" and "criminal" have no meaning
To be fair...
Just because they _CAN_ destroy the universe doesn't mean that they _WOULD_ destroy the universe. They could be completely harmless individuals who have complete control over themselves and their powers and only go around doing good deeds or whatever.
I could go and find a defenseless animal somewhere and ruthlessly kill it or set a forest/someone's house on fire somewhere. I have that ability and could do that at any time.
But would I ever do something like that?
Hell no!
So even saying that someone is a war criminal just because they have the ability to destroy the universe is a bit...harsh.
Obviously they have the very real possibility of becoming a war criminal (and... arguably much worse...) but at the same time they might not even _WANT_ to destroy the universe (and can control themselves in a way that that's never even an issue) so it would be the equivalent of arresting someone just because they have the capability of committing murder in a very specific circumstance despite never even showing any signs of wanting to so much as threaten someone.
Well. You're not wrong.
Also, there might not technically be a war involved
@@diamondseraph9369 what if one had anger issius and got agrevated
Never did I think suicide bombing would be mentioned MULTIPLE TIMES in a Pokémon video, but I DEFINITELY didn’t expect the main offender to be PINECO of all Pokémon.
I remember a lot of pinco exploding in XD so its not that surprising to me.
Although the Voltorb line is most famous for it.
@@jasonreed7522send some of those Pineco at me because it took me entirely too long to understand that you were talking about gale of darkness. My mind defaulted to seeing a smile face.
@@jasonreed7522The suprising bit is the reminder that Pineco exists
Pineco is based on a grenade so that makes sense
Is not suicide if you regain your health in a Pokémon Center.

Tell Cercei it was me
Fun fact: Unown, if enough have gathered, can casually warp reality. Making anything real.
When Arceus needs to create a new legendary pokemon, he doesn't just use his own power to do it. NOPE. He walks over to the unown and asks them for help. Which, okay cool, so arceus and the unown combine their powers and can make an entire universe. Right? NNnnnnope. The unown are proven to be able to make new worlds, and new legendaries, all on their own without any help from Arceus, they've been doing so for centuries while Arceus was in seclusion. The unown will do this at the behest of some random 5 year old who wants her dead mother back. There is an episode where Ash goes dimension hopping around the Johto region to try and get a lost unown back to it's home dimension.
@@animorph17 I like to imagine that unknown were created by one of Game Freak's software engineers in response to how code that should work didn't and code that shouldn't work did (which is surprisingly common).
Unown are probably the thousands arm of Arceus
@@anonyme4881 Which is hilarious, because they are EYES, not arms!
@@animorph17 Well, thats just a metaphor anyway
In every abrahamic religion God is completly inextricably linked with the language/ the verb.
In the ancient testament, God says, and the world follow.
I view Unown as a manifestation of an infinite power that Arceus has perfect and absolute control and which will activate anyway if their are set in a perfect order.
(Beside its impossible to know if these Unown werent obeying Arceus)
Mountain paradox solution: If pupitar must eat a whole mountain, it must also poop a whole mountain. Some amount of the mountains in Pokemon universe have been processed inside of a pupitar

Under Geneva Suggestions you cannot wear clothing or icons that are used by your enemy. So Ditto is definitely serious war crime enjoyer
Well it technically isn't wearing clothing or icons used by the enemy. It isn't WEARING anything. While it sometimes does copy people, at those times it's not in combat so that would just be regular old identity theft, not a war crime.
@@Winasaurus Ditto also canonically has the same eyes, no matter what it turns into, so it's easy to tell whether someone's a Ditto or the real deal.
That is not true, there is just one Ditto in the anime that does that, other Dittos can transform normally no problem
I love the fact that basically every Pokémon here could have an scp written about them and they'd slide in perfectly.
PKMN-025 is a race of large rodents, approximately 1 foot tall, located in [REDACTED] 0.5 miles outside of [REDACTED] City.
PKMN-025 is known to generate ______ volts of electricity when agitated.
The method by which it does this is unknown.
Scp-4213
Scp-4213 is a collection of many diffrent species of animals with near apocalyptic powers the exact origin of these species is unknown but it can be theorized that either a great version of scp-4213 creates them or one of the many many other apocalyptic or god tier scp
@@darkgachamaker573 isn't 4213 the ice cream man? Pretty simple article in my opinion. For Pokémon like SCPs I suggest SCP 2466 and SCP 5254
Just look up Popcross studios, he's redesigned pokemon as SCPs
Ahhh, you’re a man of culture I see.
To be honest I wouldn’t mind a man speaking in a monotone voice rapping the poke rap
I actually want this. Hope we'll see it in the next video
Bruh i misread this as "I wouldn't mind a man speaking a monotone voice raping a pokemon"
I came here because I wanted to here a monotone man rap the poke rap.
Truth
Because Brian David Gilbert was not monotone enough
Pinsir is actually an exception with the mega evolution being not great, due to the fact that it actually likes it. Therefore you can mega evolve at least one Pokémon without committing a war crime.
Figures the 1 mega that doesn’t hurt the subject is garbage,
It probably still hurts the subject
@@zixvirzjghamn737 I mean instead of being in pain with rocks in my body or being so enraged I can kill my own trainer Or having my spine splits out of my body Or breaking my jaw to spew endless ice.
I'd rather just be able to fly and be stronger.
@@lyokianhitchhiker idk man mega salamence but bug goes hard
@@littlebigman5224 it probably likes it because it can finally fly again which it probably could century's ago which is what mega evolution seems to be reverting a Pokemon back to its original or close to its original form aerodactly implying this and roaring moons dex further implying it
In defense of those Pokémon that deny the afterlife by make you a wandering spirit, Pokémon like Dusknoir and Pumpkaboo exist to help wandering spirits move on, so whoever runs the PokéAfterlife clearly has this system thought out. Hell Pumpkaboo implies some wandering spirits become guides to help others pass on.
I dont think so saying dusknoir doesnt help you go to the afterlife...
He consumes your soul
And i dont think you can go to the afterlife without a soul
Huh, they've got an afterlife economy
@@Ace_Bishopas much as that sounds like something a ghost Pokémon would do, I don’t think it’s the case.
Some of its Pokédex entries say it takes spirits into its body to guide them home. So I assume that the mouth on its belly isn’t really a mouth, it just works as a place for it to contain the spirits it guides.
PokéHell
I love how you just said “Mewtwo”, as if you didn’t need to explain it, before moving along to Johto. And you know what, you’re right. Mewtwo IS a living war crime who while everyone else on this list woke up and chose violence, Mewtwo never went to SLEEP!
I’m actually convinced that the Pokedex entry is biased.
Think about who’s most likely helping to write this entry: Professor Oak, a leading researcher on Pokémon in Kanto. Either he would have been involved in “Project Cain” (which I’m calling it now because my childhood edgelord demands a cool name) and want nothing to do with it anymore, OR he would have been against it from the beginning.
Basically, he is VERY likely to see it as an abomination and nothing more
But here’s the problem: it’s not bothering anyone. It’s literally hiding in a cave. There’s not a man keeping it from getting OUT, but a man keeping humans from getting IN
Mewtwo doesn’t hate Humanity. It FEARS it. And it fears itself…
Man was synthesized into existence and chose violence
@@spindash64 good point. But in the anime.......
@@spindash64 erm... YOU are writing those entries. Its literally the point of the game to fill the EMPTY dex.
@@ich3730
Except that doesn’t jive when you’re filling up empty dexes in other games that have creatures who have been filled in years ago, yet those entries are STILL blank
"Seperate your soul from your body"
How do fantasy writers not realize that's just a fancy way of saying "killing a person", like, i get its supposed to be this spooky 'touch of death' thing, but i'm pretty sure if a normal horse kicked you hard enough your soul would leave your body too
I mean ya got a point but in the terms of fantasy it could imply that 'something else' could enter your soulless body, it would be terrifying if a Yamask or Hisuian Zoroark (Only mentioning the new Zoroark just because of its ghost typing and my liking of Zoroark) convinced a Spectrier to kick someone's soul out of their body only to enter and inhabit it.
I'd also imagine that other ghost pokemon would want to eat or capture your soul and such. At least your soul can hopefully reenter your body.
It's the silly consequences of keeping things kid friendly. You can't kill a person and trap thier spirit in hell, but you can "remove their souls and trap it in the shadow realm."
You can't have cartoons shoot guns, but lasers are fair game. Can't have characters use weapons on people, but they can brandish them and use them as tools. Spiderman can't punch people so he drop kicks with hilarious regularity.
At this point its practically a staple of children's media and localization.
I mean to be fair in the Pokemon universe your soul being separated from your body doesn't seem to actually kill you. In the anime, Ash and Pikachu's souls were taken out of their bodies by a Haunter and they were fine. Even though a whole chandelier fell on them.
LOOOOL
Something about your horse analogy got me thinking.
If a horse kicking technically makes your soul leave your body. What an animal or being had the ability to do the opposite. It can now trap your soul in your body. So it can never leave. Your soul is trapped, you have no ability to use your now limp decaying body and until it is fully decayed you're fully conscious and away how trapped you are. I'm just gonna avoid horses for a bit and try to go back to sleep.
I think the pokemon afterlife was based on eastern concepts of the afterlife. It goes something like this:
-People have souls, souls stay around after death
-Souls can be destroyed
-Souls tend to stay in the human world for a while before they move on to the afterlife
-Some souls can't move on and become ghosts.
-Other souls return to the cycle of reincarnation to be born again
And others can become immortalized as munchies for sandcastle gods
Maybe at first but at this point I think it is more "that sounds cool" then anything else.
The fact that the little smile and arms on Litwick turned out to just be wax drippings was a war crime against my brain
It may be more or less obvious but I didn't realize Hatterene still has the absurdly small body that you can see in it's "hood". That fucked me up.
The back of Froslass' head is shaped like Heatran's butt
@@DaveyGunface This is a hella late reply but I find it funny that you mention Hatterene because that is a newer (in terms of when this video came out) pokemon that would definitely qualify as a war criminal by way of "Indiscriminate attack"
“Your honor, Drampa is innocent. This thing is excused from all war crimes off of the simple contradiction of it being based as hell”
Agreed
He is based
Agreed
Shiro Ishii in a nutshell
51:28
Oh, the anime actually shows us what happens when a Mismagius eats your soul and traps you as food inside of it's gemstone. Happens to ash twice actually, though in the first instance he actually just walked into the afterlife by stumbling across a portal to the land of the dead. Turns out the Mismagius gets to control everything you see, hear, and feel, and can create an entire environment filled with NPCs for your disembodied soul to interact with. Friendly ones use it to convince you to just stay eaten by giving you an ideal world to live out your most cherished fantasies. Ones that hate you devour your soul and present you with your own personal hell. Forever.
When team rocket got eaten, Mismagius had them experience blasting off over and over and over, getting blown right back into the sky the moment they land.
Well joy, that sounds about right. Jesus Christ.
If i got a nickle every time ash got his soul eaten by a mismagius
I would now have 2 nickle
Which is not a lot but its wierd that it happened twice
The only thing that I can think to reply to this with is "advanced psychological vore-fare"
-help me-
How many times has Ash "died" again
I remember that one indigo league episode where he chilled with some ghost types.
@@JediSteve-J3- By my count he has died a grand total of 8 times (depending on exactly how you count it, his very first episode meeting Ho-oh was probably a death, given Ho-oh is said to use "Sacred Ash" to revive the dead. And Ash woke up to see ho-oh flying overhead with golden sparkles) and he has stumbled across no more than 4 direct sources of immortality. By the way, Liches exist in this universe, and Ash found a phylactery.
I still find it funny how Pinsir breaks the trend on mega evolution. Like everything else is talking about the extreme stress the transformation puts on the pokemon's body, and then Pinsir is just like "holy shit this guy loves flying, look how much he enjoys flying"
27:18 so a distinction I wanna point out is that Agron only beats up whatever tries to *hurt* the mountain. This implies that if you are picking up litter, hiking, or just existing passively on the mountain you are ok. This means that my;triple Agron probably live on one mountain since they have the same collective goal, defend that mountain from being destroyed
Chad commune of mountainhurter's hunters
so thats how mountains continue to exist when so many pokemon casually destroy mountains
I think the creepiest thing about Pokémon is the fact that several Pokémon just eat souls or kidnap children and it’s not even there for creepiness. It’s just a side note like “Yeah this Pokémon kidnaps children that hold it’s string,” or “This Pokémon is actually a psychic human child who mutated into a Pokémon one night”
yeah, so it's a pretty good house pet. Potty trained, doesn't require too much maintenance, quite a good house pet to be honest.
Oh yeah, one more thing before you take him home, he kind of eats your soul if you don't feed him, just thought it would be good to know, no big deal really, just keep feeding him. Alright well he's your problem now.
Makes sense if Pokemon are supposed to be closer to yokai rather than animals.
@@piccolofan24 well they are displayed as house pets in the anime, feels bad for all the haunter owners
@@carsonthompson4260 Pretty sure its just certain kinds of pokemons kept as house pets, like growlithes purrloins hell even eevees etc
I imagine most people who own pokemon like haunter as house pets are retired trainers or something
@@carsonthompson4260 In typical Japanese folklore, yokai can be domestic and part of house life as well. You can see that in other mythical creatures too such as Brownies. I wouldn't consider it too farfetched to say that there are domestic yokai
The worlds most dangerous Pokémon is Pikachu. Because Pikachu framed porygon for one of the greatest disasters in Pokémon history.
"Fun" incident
@@tartipouss no
@@ohhellwhereami2574 yes
What incident?
@@Algorithm_God_Cult Electric soldier porygon.
25:08 I think Shedinja can get a pass on their war crime. The only Pokédex entry that mentions that it can steal your soul claims it is a rumor. Other Pokédex entries claim that peering inside Shedinja reveals nothing is inside.
Worst thing about the "Electric Soldier Porygon" episode, and the punishment Porygon's received for it, is that the attack that caused the seizures was Pikachu's. _Its_ thunderbolt hit the missile that caused all those flashing lights.
Yes, but punishing Pikachu for it would look bad, since Pikachu is the mascot for the franchise. So Porygon had to take the blame for a crime it didn't commit.
I like the classic "Pokédex entries are written by literal children and therefore are completely inaccurate" explanation for all of this.
Even though that explanation is literal bull because no one writes in the pokedex to begin with.
@@andresmarrero8666 i actually came up with what i think is a pretty good explanation for this
the protagonist writes the pokedex, based on:
what information the pokedex ACTUALLY CAN generate from a simple scan
any rumours they've heard
any actual info they've heard
any random bull they come up with
and in alola any random bull rotom suggests
the reason it's the same each time is because each playthrough technically has the same protagonist, just a different name/pokemon team/gender
BUT different regions have different myths, knowledge and protagonists
and the reason it seems to be written so quickly is because, well, why would we need to go through the actual writing itself, it's easier to just generate it
it's not perfect, and definitely non-canon, but i like it because it explains the dumb pokedex entries without dooming any "accurate" pokemon universe and explains how there's entries for legendaries
@@connortg5 A+ for effort but that is simply not how the pokedex operates. It can only pull up relevant and most importantly verified information. Every pokedex entry is true for that world even the ridiculous ones because pokemon are ridiculous and their world operates on a completely different level. This is something people are going to have to accept because you cannot simply pick and choose.
@@andresmarrero8666 You must be fun at parties
@@hel117 surprisingly hilarious at times given some reactions.
Let’s be honest though, if there was ever an animal that would be JUSTIFIED in hating railroads, it would be the buffalo.

Facts
I find it funny that one of the few war criminals that actually intends it and is tactical about it and isn’t just AOE/Really Territorial is the fucking teacup. The others are just “it’s territorial it attacks anything it sees” or “this Pokémon can use its elemental abilities to the degree it’s a war crime” but this teacup intends its crimes. It knows it looks like a teacup, and it knows it can use that to kill people, and so it does because it feeds on life force. It’s actually just an intended trap.
I’m actually gonna argue on Mewtwo being a war crime.
It’s Pokédex entries mention about how it’s vicious, and “only sees the battle”, but also that it spends most of it’s time motionless in a cave.
(A cave that you’re not even allowed in unless you got all 8 badges.)
Fun fact: In pokemon lore there was a world war that was ended by a super weapon só strong it SHATTERED TYE FABRIC OF REALITY ITSELF TRANSFORMING A UNIVERSE INTO AN ENTIRE MULTIVERSE .
@Horamberg Or a bacon bird. That explosion caused all sorts of stuff
@Some Noob lmao understandable,have a nice day
@Some Noobtrue. man said fuck the world i wanna revive my flower pokemon
@@alanbeckett5578 to be fair to AZ his pokemon went off to fight IN the war and when it died he wasso upset he made the ultimate weapon to end the war and bring his pokemon back to life
nah it didn't transform the universe into a multiverse the multiverse was already there
It only split the universe as it firing shattered space-time to the point where it also did not fire
Maybe the reason no one hunts afterlife-denying pokemon is because they’re too scared of them. If someone told me jellyfish could destroy my soul forever I’d probably just be like “damn I guess I’ll stay out of the ocean”
That would be reason enough for me to not go anywhere near it.
There is plenty of people IRL who go to war with zero belief in an afterlife. It's not a stretch that there would be brave souls in pokemon too.
Swimmer Trainers go brrr
As if there isn’t already enough information to make you go “Damn, I guess I’ll stay out of the ocean.”
I agree with the premise, but I feel like this particular argument is just too egregious.
History has shown time and time and time again that there'll be who fight because they fear it. Fear doesn't lead to just flight. Not everyone goes “damn I guess I’ll stay out of the ocean”, or we would've made far less species extinct. You make it sound like the people who'd be trying this would just be 1 random dude who stumbled upon one or something. And on a global scale too?
Even if you make the ultimate stretch of the imagination and literally everyone, from the beginning of time had the mindset of “damn I guess I’ll stay out of the ocean”. Why would they want to give that to your 10yo?
Is humanity impossibly scared of them, or do they go out of their way to apprehend them and give no fucks? Which is it?
The fact that "Fr*nce" is censored is so funny
I've lived in a rat-infested house before. My reaction on seeing a mouse would be more to the effect of 'please don't sh*t in my cutlery drawer'.
I'd classify stealing souls as desecrating the dead, but that's me
"I can't say the F word because we're in the first 30 seconds of the video"

The Pokedex was written by the professors in their world. The misaligned afterlife could just be speculation and personal belief from the professors leaking into their Pokedex entries
You know genuinely, that might be the case. It's probably the theory I like the most out of all comments
Gardevoir is honestly terrifying as not only can it summon blackholes, but can actively manipulate them so they don't just consume everything around it.
We need to get a check on how powerful psychic types are in Pokemon.
Also I'm still waiting to hear the war crimes of the gen 3 Pokémon. I guess it's not that interesting as only the grass and water starters really have the capacity of large scale destruction. Blaziken just kicks the shit out of you with the added bonus of his kicks and punches being so hot they can scorch their foes.
Edit: Darkrai is just deserves his own category ever since the Rise of Darkrai movie.
Hi! The reason all the Gen Seven dex entries for mega evolution are so violent is possibly due to the natures of the pokemon when the mega evolve (violent pokemon staying violent), but also because in Alola, the trainers mostly use z-moves. They see mega evolution as the same thing (a quick burst of power) so when some megas have to undergo the painful transformation quickly, they go bezerk. Hence the insane dex entries.
Regarding poison, the scale of "Poison is illegal" is a lot worse than you might think, since TM06, Toxic is a near *universal* TM, meaning all but a miniscule handful of Pokemon can poison others through I-don't-even-know-how means
I’m pretty sure that would make the trainer the war criminal as well as they’re forcing the Pokémon to learn it
TH-cam shorts video incoming? xD
I love its versatility but I never understood why so many Pokémon could learn it, what’s the lore/ logic behind it?
@John Paul Cross check out lockstin and gnoggin on the topic of toxic
Most pokemon being able to learn Toxic makes sense. The subtext is that the pokemon is throwing/squirting its feces on the opponent. Feces = poison has long been a trope in media, from Digimon to Dark Souls, and in real life some armies have smeared feces on their weapons or traps to cause enemies to slow die (which sounds exactly like the move Toxic)
Honestly, Machamp’s pretty chill by the standards of Pokémon at that power level. Heck, even in “go mad with power” Dynamax, its first instinct is to rescue ships and bring them back to port
That’s pretty wholesome, all things considered.

I've gotta read orichorio's myself now, cause the type of necromancy really matters, if it's just just traditional mindless husk that's a bit messed up but mostly harmless, if it's full reconnecting the spirit and body necromancy, bringing souls back out of the afterlife can be a bit morally iffy but usually that type of stuff has a consent clause where it only works if the spirit is willing to return, but knowing Pokemon it could be type 3, where the conscious being is reconnected with their body, but not completely, and they therefore have nearly no control over themself, which is severely messed up.
The phrase “being an advocate for 8 year-late term abortion” is one of the funniest quotes I’ve heard in a while.
How is the Pokemon world still standing
Plot armor
Arceus used Plot Armor! It's super effective!
The same way they held gen 1 together.
The only thing keeping it whole is the idea that most pokemon can initiate M.A.D. if another tried to actually destroy the world so they dont.

Apparently only 120 of the 12000 reported were from the day the episode aired. The vast majority reported illness 3 days after. Most likely from young children hearing about it and convinced themselves they were also affected. 120 children admitted to a hospital is still horrible but not nearly as bad as the originally believed 12000

Still a more enjoyable passing of time, I must say.
EDIT: Actually, the Pokédex has long been my favorite part of the games, and it actually quite upsets me that Niantic hasn't put a way into Pokémon GO to tell which dex entries have been read, yet. ):
The other day, I didn’t get any sleep the night before, and I was doing something but don’t remember what, and later I was watching this while kinda half-asleep, and I swear the whole thing felt like an insane fever dream. Didn’t help that once I got up, my mom and siblings were watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail in the living room. All in all, really adds to the experience if you watch this while sleep-deprived.
Weather warfare is war crime.

Considering how many pokemon could feasibly make mountains, Im sure they have a special task force out there that secretly replaces them after they destroyed
I need this task force to be as cute and wholesome as Menderbug
Yes but not all of them are in the right regions.
Turns out all the earthquakes have the secondary job or replacing mountains.
use the tyranitar line to clean up the excess mountains

It is pretty insane how many pokemon could kill you with a sneeze.

Narration: "Yeah Houndoom will burn people and it will burn forever, causing them to suffer constantly"
Footage: * Houndoom carrying Togepi on its back over a pit, stopping by a pond for Togepi, and letting Togepi happily ride on its back as it runs through a field *

The fun thing about Raticate is that it's not even really an exaggeration of reality. Real rats actually do have to use their teeth regularly or face getting injured by their own teeth. They gnaw through stuff like wood and power cables too, so they do cause real damage to buildings.
Part of why beavers build dams. Need to wear out those teeth, so might as well put it to use.
Pretty sure that's all rodents
This is an all rodent thing. Hamsters, rats, chipmunks, capybaras, beavers, and the list goes on. I've heard at least one story of somebody's shed losing its structural integrity from rodents chewing on its supports. I think it was just one wall, luckily. And it was a shed, not their house, but the point stands. These guys gotta chew.
Some rats have chewed through cement🤭

Sometimes I think about the fact that half the pokemon could easily kill any or all humans, yet they are perfectly fine being the pet of a 10 year old fighting the local space themed gang who are also capturing pokemon but for more evil purposes
@@_EllieLOL_ that's wrong entirely and the manga and show have proven that. A pokeball does NOT make pokemon listen to the trainer and some will STILL fight the trainer once let out. Pikachu HATED ash in the first episode and wouldnt even listen to him to stay in the pokeball and even attacked him.
The reason pokemon listen is cause they understand that bonds with trainers can make them stronger but that's only if they see that a trainer is worthy of training them.
And pokeballs dont even contain the pokemon since they can leave whenever they and and break their pokeball (whichbhas happened several times) the only time that cant happen is a master ball which was used on mewtwo who was crazy and just attacking people cause in the manga he was pure evil.
@@_EllieLOL_ That's still not right. Mind control had never, especially in the games, been part of pokemon. It is seen as BAD to brainwash pokemon or do anything completely against their will. Remember, in the games any pokemon above your gym level will DISOBEY you. Showing obvious free will, you have to gain their respect. Strong people have more stronger pokemon listen.
@@fredericksaxton9782the only contradiction would be “ rule by fear”
@@AllucardBR-JPFS actually ash is a fighting type. most humans are normal type. However, that could mean that Arven is a fighting type. (there's also psychic type)
That could actually be a fun angle for an evil team. Go from “we want to capture the mascot Legendary so we can rule the world” to “you know, we could probably raze the region and take over with the Pokémon we have.”

Arceus made Giratina out of antimatter, and somehow in its infinite wisdom did not expect it to annihilate whatever it touched, forcing Arceus to banish it to the Distortion World.
Like. Nice job. You get an A in Fiziks, Arceus.
No giratina is not antimater, he is gravity. Cinthia saying it is antimater is the only peice of evidence of antimatter, and the fact that she can enter his realm and move about it safely disproves her own hypothesis. all other evidence points to gravity.
@@mlpfanboy1701 Didn't Masuda say it was based on antimatter too?
@@samhayes-astrion then mesuda screwed up with giratina’s lore so badly he clearly has zero idea what antimatter is.
First off if giratina was antimatter he would only have come to existence after diagla and palkia created matter, but his own lore says they were made at the same time, gravity always existed in the universe it just doesn’t show itself without matter.
Secondly the distortion world cant be made out of antimatter because every person or thing or even air molecule that enters it would immediately annihilate. Our characters, the spirit trio, and Cyrus can walk on the grounds there for that hypothesis is completely dead. Same is true for giratina the moment he enters the realm of matter.
Thirdly the distortion world is said to effect the flow of time and space. Antimatter doesn’t do jack to the flow of space or time, gravity however effects both of them.
Fourthly the distortion worlds gimmick is as if gravity itself was sentient and trying to get people lost.
@@mlpfanboy1701 maybe giratina has some kind of power to keep a thin barrier between matter and antimatter idk
@@brad5204 that still wouldn’t fit its in game lore or evidence of the distortion world.

The reason trapinch has the same base attack stat as flygon is because they're based off of the insect known as the Antlion, a bug known to have an OP larval stage that depending on species either does the thing trapinch does (with a side of flinging sand or dirt at whatever falls into the trap pit it makes) or *LIQUIDIFIES ITS PREY WITH VENOM FROM ITS HOLLOW PINCERS, DRINKS IT, AND THEN STACKS ITS CORPSE ON ITS BACK AS ARMOR* however it's adult phase is purely for breeding and can't actually fight/do anything impressive, leading me to believe that gamefreak did this because the other option would be to make a Pokémon that got worse as it evolved
“Walking out in your backyard and seeing a mouse, you might have a whole range of different reactions. From “aww.. cute. A mouse.” To “OOOHH SHIIIIIT, A RAHT!”
No wonder they send 10-year-old out to catch these things. Keeping the children on the move is the best way to keep them alive." Ha haa you can't eat my kids soul if nether of us knows where that are!"
That’s actually really smart and makes a lot of sense
And I suppose if they are out there catching pokemon, they are more prepared to destroy abductors , killers and soul stealers
Huh never thought of that. Ya they might be in constant danger but in the end they will be well equipped to deal with the dangers and reality of pokemon.
Apparently when talking about the inconsistencies between Aerodactyl being said as the origin of birds, and later Archeops being said as it, the creators of pokemon basically admitted they don't really do work to make their universe consistent writing wise.
Which makes for a wonderful mess when trying to analyze pokemon.
Considering how new fossils are constantly being found which changes whatever theory came before it's not that out of the question for people in the pokemon world equivalent of the 90's to think that Aerodactyle was the origin of bird type pokemon before fossils of the even older Archeops were found later on.
@Desert Rambler im p sure aerodactyl and zubat are related, the zubat line seem to be convergently evolved reptiles whilst swoobat seems to be a mammal
Tyrantrum pokedex entries state it may have had feathers in life and Mega Aerodactyl is suspected to be the true original form of the pokemon, pretty much confirming that the revived fossil pokemon is not necessarily identical to what it looked like when it originally lived. So studying cloned fossil pokemon could yield inaccurate information.

20:20 the actual culprit of the epileptic outbreak wasn't Porygon, but Pikachu. Poor Porygon's only mistake was appearing for the first and last time in such a cursed thing.
Imagine if Pikachu got banned, woohoo
Lol
Worst thing about it is that the evolutions of porygon are also banned in the anime, despite being created years late
Not even Pikachu. The real culprits are the people who came up with having those flashing lights and the animators who went through with it.
@@thedaemonwolf1814 well, up to that point it was normal to have those red & blue flashing lights for explosions and electrical effects.
It's especially noticeable when you compare games, series and movies that came *before* the Porygon episode (examples: Chrono Trigger, Dragon Ball, Blade Runner, etc) to games, series and movies that came *after* the Porygon episode (Chrono Cross, Naruto, Matrix, etc)

I tend to believe that the reason pokemon who can nuke a mountain don't do it its cause multiple pokemon live there that can also each nuke a mountain. Im sure the pokemon world has some assured mutual destruction thing going on
most pokemon who can nuke mountais actually eat them, tyranitar eats soil and so he NEEDS to eat them and destroy them, machamp love to train and they live for it, they will challange strong pokemon so of course they train in the wild to fight something like tyranitar, of course these pokemon arent common much less in their fully evolved form so the pokemon world is dangerous but its not like common to find a pseudo legendary or fully evolved and trained machamp in the wild
@@dreamer1292 I would love to see a Tyranitar and a Machamp become training buddies. I swear, there are so many Pokémon that would synergy so well together in a practical standpoint.

“Not because kadabra is a war criminal” is a sentence I have never expected to hear. Even with how much of a poke fan I am.
4:30 Honestly, regardless of how sentient their targets are, Pokémon wielding Poison should only be considered war criminals if they:
ai) Aren't just doing it to hunt or out of self-defense; they're just straight up killing others for the heck of it.
aii) Are pre-emptively poisoning potential attackers or prey
b) They are killing en masse.
47:33 The Aurora Borealis can mess with Radio signals and Satellites, this can be exploited to gain an edge in battle so yes, I think Aurorus counts as a war criminal under the weather warfare rule
Technically, the Aurora Borealis is the byproduct of the electromagnetic radiation of the sun/universe hitting the atmosphere/magnetic shield of the earth.
So it's this radiation that can mess with technology and not those pretty colors in the sky
@@johndoef5962 Either way, it causes the Aurora Borealis, how it does it does not matter. If hitler used fire commit genocide would he not have committed a war crime?

Interesting fact about Fletchinder’s Pokédex entry is that some birds of prey in Australia have actually learnt to use fire to flush out prey.

So there is still only 1 afterlife, but 4 different ways to prevent you from going to said afterlife.
