I really REALLY want to talk about Gorgonopsids in depth! And in addition they will definitely be getting talked about when I get to the Permian in the History of the Earth series. As far as a dedicated video I have a very specific and special plan in mind but it will probably take me more than a single week to write/record and edit such a video. Stay tuned though because it's definitely on my to do list.
@@Coffeemancer that's pretty deep. I hope so. If they can read this 1 million years in the future. I want to tell them just one thing from our time, *Charmander* is the best red/blue starter Pokemon. 😁👍
This kinda reminds me of the only trilobite in it's genus named after the Han people in China, which has been given species name solo(by a very Star Wars loving paleontologist). More geeky paleontology facts are always good!
I once heard dicynodonts described as 'Saber toothed turtle headed pigs'. Actually rather accurate. I would like to see you do Tully monster or isotelus rex.
Thrinaxodon would be cool to go over :) Both Thrinaxodon & Lystrosaurus appear to have survived the Permian - Triassic extinction by having populations in Antarctica (southern Pangaea at the time), but unlike the dicynodonts, Thrinaxodon (or something closely related to it) would eventually give rise to us mammals :)
Everything about their possible fern like proto fur or even feather like structures together with the complex biome living in symbiosis in these skin structures makes every group of animal with similar features incredibly interesting. What a world!
i feel like the bulbasaur line actually was based on dicynodonts, cos it just... it just looks like one. Froggy body, with claws, tusks, weird beaky thing, weird horn things. so yeah
If that is the case, and GameFreak actually designed a pokemon based on a dicynodont way back in 1996, and then a actual dicynodont was named after the pokemon in 2017, that would make this all the cooler.
I've always been interested in this time period, and having a critter named after a Pokémon, something I have shared with my boys since they started collecting cards and dragging me into playing the games with them way back when, is just adorable! ❤❤
Thank you for that amazing disclaimer! So hilarious and well said! I seriously got so angry when people began "debunking" Jurassic Park several years ago, or claimed the writers got things wrong when they were working with what information was available at that time. A film by the way that supported the connection between dinosaurs and modern day birds, a theory which was not widely accepted at that time. On that note, what would you think about covering the topic of Deinocheirus? It's a somewhat recent discovery, and there's been a lot of debate about what it's diet was.
Oh, how I wish I'd encountered this channel sooner! Most other channels fall into two categories, ones aimed at people with only a passing interest in the subject, often riddled with inaccuracies that even a modicum of research would have corrected, and those aimed at people who have studied the subject to some degree, and dense with technical stuff that those in the middle get lost in. This channel, however, nicely encapsulates the middle ground- intelligent and well researched, and couched in every day but precise language. Whilst there is detail, it isn't subject specific to the point only paleontologists can understand it. There is also a good seasoning of humour, too, which always helps. All in all, I'm loving this channel and its content, and wish more makers would give consideration to those of us who fall between the idiots and the nerds!
I think that the pokemon looks more like a cross between a frog and a green garlic bulb than a cabbage. Great videos, I am very glad I found your site, please continue.
So what happened is that all the kids who like comic books, videogames and dinosaurs grew up and is now naming things they discover after things they like and think sound cool. Hence all the pokemon names in the scientific world.
Remember, first and foremost, most scientists are nerds of one variety or another. And many nerds have cross-nerd interests. So, it really isn't too surprising that animals, both living and extinct, are being named after video games, anime, comic books, science fiction, fantasy, etc. I love it.
First of all, I want to express my regret that you have apparently been attacked by trolls about videos that are now out of date. TIM TIM, I SALUTE YOU!!! Now, to my questions. As a child, I remember reading in a picture book that Brachyasauruses (or Brontosauruses?) were such lumbering behemoths that they needed large bodies of water to help support their weight. Is the term Brachyasaurus still a part of the paleontological lexicon? When did paleontologists decide that Sauropods (correct term?) did not need water to help support their bodies? Keep up your work, and don't let the trolls wear you down! 😄
Could you imagine if dycynodons (not a paleontologist) weren't in fact different species but instead had similar environmental pressure expressions like grasshoppers? Because grasshoppers are locust, so is it possible, even if improbable, that species like this could be triggered in upbringing to display traits that after their discovery years later lead us to attribute them incorrectly to different species? Probably not for them specifically, but I would be surprised if no other species in the fossil record had that trait. This thought shares a room rent free with my fascination in the lack of juvenile tyrannosaurus fossils out there.
I'm somewhat conflicted on the name. On the one hand it'd be really cool if bulbasaur was the real reason it got its name, but on the other the discoverer refraining from out right saying it probably means it wasn't the case (I swear if the pikachu and sonic based proteins and a species of Jamaican frogs called mountain chickens weren't enough evidence that naming nomenclature wouldn't prevent the guy from outright admitting it if it's the case, then I dunno what else could prevent them from being honest about it).
Somehow the way the images of Permian creatures are drawn (not just here, everywhere) makes them seem primitive and unfinished. I suspect that's just an effect of how little we know but it's surely part of the reason we see these creatures as primitive.
its a shame real bulbasaurs never existed, but i loved this video for bringing attention to some lesser known dinosaurs that couldve been bulbasaur! thank you :)
Awesome video. The only constructive criticism I would give is to not do the high-pitched voice over during your disclaimer, as I found it pretty grating on my ears. Other than that great job!
"Bulbasaur, objectively the best choice. Fight me." Very well then. Despite the strong lead Bulbasaur then Ivysaur has over the first three gyms it's lack of coverage holds it back ESPECIALLY in the region where Psychic types are busted as fuck even in the remake. The real best choice is Squirtle because even though there are lots of decent water types available, Blastoise's defenses give it the most positive matchups and it is able to learn ice moves which give it fantastic coverage.
My favorite is Sauroniops, because I'm a Lord of the Rings fan, and because if you didn't know it meant "Eye of Sauron" it sounds like a regular dinosaur name.
While this video is about a dinosaur that's named after a Pokémon (purposely or not), it would be cool to see videos about Pokémon who are based on real dinosaurs.
I've finally decided that the early/mid triassic is my fav time, but the late Permian is a really close second. If we got solid evidence of furry synapsids, I'd likely change my mind.
Wait, did you make the animation at the end yourself? The cute bulbasaur walking away into the forest? I love the details such as the reflection on his skin.
Curious, I was wondering if anybody has thought about this for the nasal bosses on these and other animals. That is they could be used for tests of strength between males for mating rights ect. We tend to think of bighorn sheep slamming skulls but what if two males slowly got into each other's face and became a pushing match?
Only just saw this one, but I am playing Pokemon Blue again on my GB emulator; Bulbasaur is totally the best starter Pokemon. When I was 10, I thought Bulbasaur was the best because plant type Pokemon are awesome. When I was 20, I thought Bulbasaur was the best because the first four gyms in order have rock, water, electric, and plant types. This means that you have advantage on the first three and a mutual disadvantage on the fourth. By the time you get to Fuchsia City, you should have enough other Pokemon to no longer need the starter advantage. Now that I'm in my 30s, I think Bulbasaur is the best because plant type Pokemon are awesome.
In some fanfic roleplays I do with friends, I doubled down on the idea of Bulbasaur being a therapsid to the point I actually worked the idea that while its hybrid plant/animal physiology is still a mystery; fossil evidence showed that it was how and why the bulbasaur family survived not just the Permian but the entirety of the Mesozoic to the modern day. The pokedex states even in its base form, Bulbasaur can go long periods without food as it will metabolize the seeds in its bulb if necessary. That would be vital in the late Permian especially, and even during parts of the Triassic and Jurassic, not to mention the K-T extinction on top of it all. Venusaur meanwhile gets the bulk of its energy strictly via photosynthesis.
Tim Tim is best former cyanobacteria (been a while so I can't remember what he's evolved into here). You really should do a video on the Abeilasaur Thanos, and I know there's another prehistoric critter named after Japan's most famous monster.
Bulbasaur and Meowth Relationship Lore nearly at least 12,000 years ago and 9,5000 year's ago takes Place at Africa - Egypt - Cyprus 🦴🧬 Cat domesticated and human fossils as well 🥰👍🥰👍🥰👍🥰👍🥰👍
So, what other animals do we know wich lived during this time periode? I would suspect trilobites and gators off some kind, but that would be 3 animals if I am right. 🤔

Id love to see you cover each fossil pokemon and the species that inspired it!
Yes this pls
I'd like to learn some more about Gorgonopaids in general. They always remind of Saber toothed cats, we'll I guess they were the fore runners so....

Amazing video! I believe Pokemon is a good reference to paleontology with the inspiration and differences between fantasy and reality.
I almost feel like that was their reason behind naming it. Fun wink to us.
It fit the fantasy AND the reality. 😎👍

If there is not enough information about Thrinaxodon as an individual species, you might other cynodonts, like Cynognathus :)
I laughed out loud. Love your documentaries!

Bulbasaur is the best starter of any generation. Fight me.
Ok it has the type advantage on the 1st 3 gyms but Charmander is still cool and cute
Why would I fight you when I agree with you?
I'll fight with you.
Best is subjective. What're we talking 'bout
I love Bulbasaur and Snivy personally.
“Don’t be an ass hat” is a great disclaimer
That disclaimer has made me chuckle every time I've heard it
Such a brilliant channel , I've been binging all week and can't wait for more 🙌🏾
haha i love getting jumpscared by my own art in a video! thank you for using it :D bulbasaurus is such a neat creature!
So what happened is that all the kids who like comic books, videogames and dinosaurs grew up and is now naming things they discover after things they like and think sound cool. Hence all the pokemon names in the scientific world.
I just named my bulbasaur in pokemon go bulbasaurus yesterday and now i find this video coincidentally
Dude I love your disclaimer it is so funny
On my birthday paleo analysis puts out a new video now that’s cool
Happy Birthday!
@@PaleoAnalysis thanks
Obviously the paleontologist that found Bulbasaurus didn't want to deal with any legal issues with Pokemon so he didn't explicitly confirmed.
I PICKED BULBASAUR WHEN I PLAYED BLUE AND IT WAS MY FIRST GAME TOO!! Gang gang
those giant rabbits in the Mediterranean or those giant armadillos in south Africa or a great ape to early hominid is always interesting
Furry or not Bulbasaurus is kinda cute. What's your favorite cute prehistoric animal?
Thanks for the very fun video. I'm excited to listen to these while I'm working late into the evenings.
"Don't be an ass hat." Words to live by Tim Tim
Your channel will definitely blow up w new followers
i love all your work! please keep uploading!!!!
Holy moly what happened?! I blink and you've gone from 5k to 100k?! Congrats man!!!
love how you have Pokemon in this video
Nature uses Permian mass extiction, it's extremely effective
The marine biosphere lost 96% of its health!
this was incredible! good work!
I don't forget to leave a "like" because I put them in at the very beginning. I know I am going to like anything you bring up.

Man I can't wait till the Permian history of the earth video. Age of the SYNAPSIDS, BABY
I would like to learn more about one of those giant sloths that ruled until they went extinct, like a megatherium
I had to look it up to be sure but Pokémon was released in 1996 in Japan but 1998 is America, and 1999 in Europe. :)

I come from the future woodwork and must correct an error. This animal was driven to extinction by the magdeburg unicorn.
your disclaimer takes all the fun out of trolling you!!
Bulbasaurus is the first discovered extinct animal from which we know for sure what sound he must have made.
Don't laugh at me. I've almost completed a livingdex once, so I know what I'm talking about. :P

Maybe the cabbage back part was not very well preserved as the skull. ;)
Dunno how true this is, but its theorized that the bulbasaur line is based around the prehistoric frog known as Beelzebufo
Pokémon is so good nature created a dinosaur just to be named after it
