Lockstin Have you done a video on the Kadabra controversy yet? I was recently reading all about it.
Please consider a mystery dungeon theory.. Its a whole pokemon game series you haven't even touched on, like at all :( seriously, it would make a lot of good content.
Sell out, do it one more time and I'm unsubing
@@omgman5745 if you can't handle that youtubers need money to SURVIVE you don't deserve to be subbed to anyone really. How about you get adblock and donate to their patreon or other platforms then? Sheesh.
@@chryscantsleep but they are all the same ads
So,if the Tapus are holy,does that mean Tapu Bulu is a...
*holy cow?*
Alright I'm sorry I'll leave now.
This better get pinned.
Also, does that make Tapu Fini...
Holy Mackeral?
Holy Eagle!
Holy cow Lintaro!
*Holy Butterfly*
"Tapu is sacred, not to be spoken of, not to be taken."
I love that we can just CAPTURE these sacred Pokemon and battle with them. willy nilly
Tapu unless allowed to, soooo maybe the Tapu's merely allow us to capture them. (Granted people actually use regular pokeballs and not just master balls)
They could break their pokeball whenever they like. It's more of a formality to capture diety pokemon, I feel.
@@arceusflute369 Hmm that's true.....I always felt a bit AWKWARD catching legendary pokemon to be honest-even if it's just a game. Then they just sit there in the box doing nothing....but thinking they could easily break out makes me feel oddly better lol. I mean it just felt odd catching pokemon like LUGIA or RAYQUAZA these all powerful deities people worship. And us 10 year olds just get em lol.
@@TheRibottoStudios XD Yeah, me too honestly. It makes more sense, and still adds to how powerful these pokemon are...You didn't capture THEM. They enlisted YOU.
@Siper Well, perhaps there are powerful individuals within legendary species that bear unique responsibilities(like the birds and lugia in the movie).
The capturable legendaries are still very powerful amongst other pokemon, but amongst their own species they are totally average. Kind of like how there are 'powerful' or more distinguished humans and regular humans.
NOTE- this gives legendaries more agency, and treats them as characters, rather than items that just respawn due to arceus, or eggs hatching(the egg hatching one could apply to specific mythicals and legendaries, but not rhe majority)
In the anime, Tapu Fini was able to let people visit the dead, so the underworld thing does make more sense.
Yes, it makes total sense
My favorite generation 7 legendary pokemon happened to be one of tapus/guardian deities, and my favorite guardian deities is tapu lele, tapu lele is a majestic butterfly legendary pokemon and
tapu lele shares life, and is the most caring of the tapus and tapu lele is also the most majestic of the tapus, my favorite insect is a butterfly and tapu lele is a legendary butterfly pokemon and tapu lele plays a big role in the Games too. And also, tapu lele resides in the ruins of life, it makes so much sense.
In the anime the episode where mallow runs in the mist to see her mother again really made me cry.
Literally all of the Tapus:
Poison types: *So you have chosen death...*
Except Tapu Fini
Then it's rather fitting how Alola has around a low amount of poison types available in it
virtual trash what do you mean? Fini is weak to poison...
@@kingvamp8267 if anything the exception would be Tapu Lele with it's psychic typing~
@[Insert Name Here] That's because of Tapu Fini's ability. It sets up Misty Terrain, which prevents all grounded Pokémon from status conditions.
I always sort of thought of the Oricorio forms as an allusion to Darwin’s finches.
It can be both.
I'm actually learning about this right now in one of my classes. While similar to Darwin's finches on the Galapagos islands, Hawaii's equivalent is called the Honeycreeper which is far more diverse. Darwin was never able to come to Hawai'i, but he was fascinated by the Honeycreeper because they more dramatically showed his theory than his finches, and he offered to pay for specimens. Pretty interesting stuff, at least I think so.
Lockstin did say that.
MJ Gaming, I don’t feel like rewatching this video, so I’ll take your word for it.
Anthony Naranjo not in this video, but in literally every other video Oricorio is mentioned.
Wait... so you are saying... that they are basically:
Forbidden Chicken
Forbidden Butterfly
Forbidden Bull
Forbidden Fish
Isn't Tapu closer to 'sacred' than 'forbidden'? Did I miss something?
@@Kurobeau I just prefer the sound of "forbidden"
@@TheDeathmail the actual Hawaiian translation for forbidden/to keep out is "Kapu"
Fairly similar sounding words, but very different.
yes
@@kerwinnklekollex370 I see, thank you for the information. I'll just be taking artistic liberties then.
I don't know about anyone else, but the Tapus are my favorite legendary group by far. Their designs are unique and they all have personalities. They aren't just Pokemon to worship, they are Pokemon to fear.
Also their battle theme slaps
It does go hard. I think it might be one of the songs on Eduard's Mega Mixtape (if you didn't know already, Eduard is an elite four member in the fan game Pokémon Insurgence. The item he uses to mega evolve his Cacturne happens to be a Mega Mixtape)
@@ShadowKnight5204 Cacturn mega evolves?!
@@khadirafarah1314 in a fan game, yes
@@ShadowKnight5204 But it’s unfortunate that Cacturn doesn’t have a mega evolution because is a badass evil nocturnal Cactus Scarecrow Jack-o-Lantern thing of a monster with high physical attack and special attack, but it is really frail and slow which is why you should always use one with a trick room support Pokémon...
@@khadirafarah1314 I've used Cacturne in an emerald run (i think it was emerald. I don't quite remember) it's pretty good
The fact of Oricorios being related to the Tapus made me think that the second type of the Tapus would be the same types as the Oricorios related to their Island when was just Koko that did got reveal and the Pompom style matched it.
I was kinda upset this wasn't the case for Bulu and Fini... Even Ghost type would fit Fini's concept of Finish and related to the underworld deity.
I feel like the main reason Fini is water type because; one: they wanted a water type, two: the fact that they are a swordfish, and three: the dex entry.
Washing away anything unclean sound better then just spiriting them away.
And I'm still confused why Bulu is grass over fire..... I look at them and think fire.
@@SketchingPandaRen
Also, many cultures consider water to be a spiritual conduit.
You're wrong though. All the typings fit.
Two of the types match perfectly (Electric and Psychic) while the other two still make perfect sense in other ways. The Baile Style may not be Grass-type, but it makes sense for them to be Fire/Flying to face the abundance of Grass-type Pokémon (just like Alolan Marowak) as well as Tapu Bulu. And Sensu Style's Ghost typing fits perfectly with Tapu Fini's origins as Kanaloa, even if it doesn't match the typing. Water, Ghost, and Fairy are all types that fit Tapu Fini/Kanaloa, and having Tapu Fini as Water/Fairy and Oricorio-S as Ghost/Flying made the most sense in terms of representing all three of those types. Kanaloa is a deity of the ocean, so having it as a Water-type (and giving it Lono's marlin hat) were necessary. But the lulling of the waves and the general atmosphere of both the deity and the island it protects means that Oricorio-S adapting to the Ghost-type makes sense.
@@SketchingPandaRen I'll never understand how you can look at it and think "That's a Fire-type" 😅
Also Tapu Fini is a water type because of what it is based on (an ocean deity). Why are you confused? Have you not listened to what they are based on? He covered it all
@@veledwin1 honestly, I also thought Tapu Bulu is a fire type.... like the three Tapu's have the common color for their types: Koko = yellow = electricity; Lele = pink= fairy; Fini = blue = water
But Bulu = red = plant..?
It's more so about visual communication, like sure if you put origins and what they are based on, you could get it, but without context, you'll be very much confused

13:50 also Tapu Koko likes a good fight. Hala's a fighting type trainer. Eeeeehhhhh?????

Pokémon!
I’m gonna miss Sun and Moon, lots of cool stuff in these games.
Same, despite the long tutorials and broken z moves, these are games that I've had a lot of fun playing.
Hope they eventually get fanmade hacks to make them less restrictive, handholdy, and faster! Adore the 3DS games, they're just plagued by those 3 things (along with postgames that leave a bit to be desired..)
@@JavaIsnomI mostly agree, but I don't think people give Ultra Sun and Moon's post game enough credit. You can complete the Pokedex, compete in the Battle Tree, do the Team Rainbow Rocket Adventure, go through the Ultra Wormholes to hunt for shinies, Ultra Beasts and legendaries, play on Pokepelago, and more
@@itsninjaboy7985 I absolutely agree with you there! I put a few thousand hours in between S/M & US/UM, have a complete living dex, did Rainbow Rocket, got many of the Ultra Wormhole mons, maxxed out my Pelago, and have a ton of BP leftover after buying doubles of every mega stone & many of the items.
Tbh I'd just add an Emerald-esque battle factory, maybe some more challenge-type stuff.
Arguably had the best story. Between it and B2W2/BW. Only reason people wont admit is cause of the tutorial, which is actually in line with many other JRPGs
This was really interesting. My question for you is why is Eevee's DNA so unstable?
Real world creatures have been shown to adapt to difference in temperature by growing darker/black fur then to back to normal when the temperature goes back to normal,it could be that the eeveelutions are already preprogrammed in eevee’s DNA but only manifest once certain prerequisites have been met.That or it could just be that with Eevee being “The Evolution Pokemon” it is the common ancestor which the eeveelutions have built upon,like the eeveelutions representing the gradual generational change that evolutions brings up instead of being another part of a pokemon’s lifestyle like most pokemon evolutions are
@Siper I did not know that about pandas. Also I love your profile picture.
Interestingly, wild Eevees are only really found on Kalos route 10 with the energized standing stones. It's the only place I know of where they're common, not requiring special circumstances
@@M_Alexander There's also that one area accessible through the sewers of Castelia City in Black and White 2. And also the Route that leads to Paniola Town in Sun and Moon/Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
@@AuraStrikeAce the spot in BW doesn't really seem like a natural environment, y'know? And Alola is just weird when it comes to indigenous Pokémon. They're rare encounters in both of those locations, too. In Palos they're actually Common encounters in the yellow flowers though they're all over Route 10

Well, I guess there are other ways you can connect Tapu Bulu to Lono. Tapu Bulu battles violently, but it also avoids conflict whenever possible by ringing its bell to alert others to its presence. You could probably stretch the bell to fit Lono’s music domain too.

I get the feeling that the ruins of abundance used to be in a lush place. When it turned to desert it was abandoned, ergo the *ruins* of abundance.
That's not what abundance means
@@jerryjerky7592 In the context of a chunk of land, yes it is. No-one would call a desert abundant just because it has an abundance of sand.
@@jerryjerky7592 I think they mean the *ruins* of abundance as in, there was once abundance, but now there isn't.
Given everything said in the video, I would say the land was so abundant that the leader became too selfish & indulgent. In anger of this, Tapu Bulu destoyed the village & absorbed all the plant life to prevent further corruption. Thus protecting the land from the "ruins of abundance".
This is also the case with most of the other ruins. The Ruins of Conflict reside outside a peaceful village and the Ruins of Life come after a graveyard. Really the only odd one out is the Ruins of Hope, though if you consider the harrowing look of Poni Breaker Coast and that it's on the island that in both games is where the climax of the conflict occurs I suppose it's not entirely without meaning.
The “finish” part probably isn’t right. Hawaiian words only ever really end in a vowel, so the “i” in Fini is just the pronunciation.
Yeah but that doesn't rule out that GF could have used that to also imply the finality of death through Tapu Finis name
Big Big maybe. I kind of doubt it but it is a happy little accident.
Fini is finished in French. You know "c'est fini"...
Brvnvz Pazzoz that doesn’t make sense in this context, though. These are Polynesian roots and references, not French.
@@fiddlemyfoddle6374
Except there is French Polynesia (Tahiti etc), where some of the peoples settled during the great migrations from ancestral Hawaii (or Hawaiki) to the South Pacific regions ...
Fun fact: In Hindi, Tapu means island. It may be that the prefix tapu is used to signify them being island guardians
5:41 “Life ends it is journey”
Also, YAY, you finally got “Kane” right!
Anyone else noticed the Donkey Kong Rap reference? With "Leader of the bunch. You know him well!"

No-one's gonna mention how he pronounced Maori?
Mah-Ori it always cracks me up when Americans try to say the word.
It's pronounced Mao-ri, not Levio-sa...!!!
IKR
It's not pronounced may-ori
@@ashensage6034 hey, I have always pronounced it like mow-rē.
I always thought that the Tapus’ shared Fairy Type was because of their darker nature. Fey also have dark and sinister sides in a lot of depictions of them.
A video about every final evolution being dual type would be pretty cool.
For example, Blastoise being water/steel or Basculin between water/dark
Excluding all of Eevee’s evolutions
Remember when we thought Magearna was going to be an artificial Tapu for Aether Island? It fits in with them creating Type:Null, and it would have been so much more interesting than just being handed it in a random event. That's really been a problem with most (all?) of the mythicals since Gen V.
When I caught the tapus (before this video), I wanted some unique names so I looked up their translations and based their names on what "I" thought they meant.
Tapu Koko- Holy Blood
Tapu Lele- Holy War
Tapu Bulu- Holy Land
Tapu Fini - Holy End
No one:
Not a single Gastly:
Wingull at 0:34:
4:25 "As well as the Ancestrial spirits..." hehe 'ancestrial'.
Another reason for Tapu Fini being suited as Kana Lulu because in one episode Hapu tells Ash and the others about how Tapu Fini's fog connects the world of the living with the world of the deceased and a few of them literally came across their lost loved ones. Another connection to the underworld, or spirit realm.
You thought you could sneak in that DK Rap reference? I noticed!

Everything past 12:00 minutes was stuff I didn't know, thanks Lockstin I didn't notice most of those correlations, they're all pretty cool, just makes me wish the islands were bigger so we cpuld explore more in the games. Hopefully Sword and Shield will be significantly bigger than Sun and Moon and have just as many cultural references as the Alolan Pokemon

I really like the connect between the Islands themselves, the Tapus, and the different Oricorios.
Thing you might want to keep in mind is that Ulaula, Tapu Bulu's island is also the place where Po Town (a place filled with Alola's rejects Team Skull) is perpetually raining almost as if the area has been cursed in some way - which given the former corrupt kahuna and the fact Po Town was said to be where the former royal family lived and looks under all the vandelism to have been a very high class and fancy -kinda like a gated community perhaps?- place...
(Alas I cannot find it now but I do remember reading a while back a story about a god I think was Lono cursing a man for smashing a sacred bolder in his property and cursing him to be forever followed by rain. YMMV on if I've got the facts right or not since I'm having trouble finding it now but if I am remembering right then that would explain a little of what's happening with Bulu right now in Sun/Moon canon).
Lono is also associated with storms and the rainy season was once said to his tears of grieving over his first mortal wife Kaikilani so IDK Po Town could also be grieving for the former royal family and/or the members of Team Skull? Nanu does seem pretty concerned about and for them in a way nobody else in Alola seems to be bothered with (Nanu is lazy yeah but I think Bulu also picked him because as Acerola points out he secretly cares a lot and does a LOT for people. Lono's kind side showing through that kahuna choice even if Bulu is too pissed to deal with people right now, it still chose a kahuna who would do good for the island, even if it's not the kind of good humans like professor Kukui want/expect).
Actually continuing on that Po Town ramble, one thing I've always found fascinating about the place screams that its a puʻuhonua (city of refuge) with how it has those massive walls and its where team Skull (the outcasts/'disrespectful ones') have fled to, and yet all the houses there under grime seem hella fancy in a way that places like a pu'uhonua probably wouldn't be?
...Just a theory on my part but I suspect the previous kahuna might've actually been part of the Ula'ula royal family given their mansion is one of the many abandoned buildings there and that Po Town itself prior to being taken over by team Skull is representative of how the kahuna at the time was disrespecting the scared sites/roles places were meant to have since well, pu'uhonua are for those that need sanctuary not to be where rich fancy people build mansions and trim hedged for themselves (...whereas IDK overly fancy stuff and 'neatly trimmed hedges' screams gated community and trashing something like that seems like it would be right up team Skull's alley).
All complete conjecture on my part though~ XD
Still given that there's that endless rain, Nanu (aka the kahuna/high priest of Bulu) nearby looking out for the people there (and implied to visit if that bed covered in meowth fur inside the mansion/Shady House is any indication) instead of arresting them like most people seem to think he should as a police officer... Call me crazy but looking over Ula'ula as a whole a sort of story of 'how the traditional islanders lost their way, perhaps over generations in worse and worse ways and eventually lead to the normally gentle natured Tapu Bulu completely losing it sh#t' in only the last generation or two. Going by that logic, Nanu might just be Kahuna because Tapu Bulu was as depressed and sad as Nanu post failed ultra beast interpol missions is and IDK felt like it could relate. (Aaahhh~ The secret/up to interpretation tragic stories tucked away in the pokemon games never fail to be fun to try to piece together
You can probably tell which Tapu is my favorite. Lol I was actually surprised that the Tapu Lele totem it represented was the totem that my older brother was given as a child, which I had looked at a few times as a kid. I wonder where that wooden statue went.

5:00
He's the first member of the koko crew HUH
The one for the underworld also fits Tapu fini because in the anime Tapu fini makes a mist that let’s people people see their lost loved ones. I think the episodes is named “Memories in the mist”.
I really like the theory of the Oricorio's being related to the Tapus. I think it fits even better than you said! Two of the typings match perfectly, and the other two still make sense. The Baile Style may not be Grass-type, but it makes sense for them to be Fire/Flying to face the abundance of Grass-type Pokémon (just like Alolan Marowak) as well as Tapu Bulu. Oricorio-B's Fire typing also matches Tapu Bulu's personality, as well as Lono being the god of music. And Sensu Style's Ghost typing still fits perfectly with Tapu Fini's origins as Kanaloa.
It makes even more sense when you consider that Oricorio's forms are also based on Darwin's finches. They all evolved to match their deity/island.
I've never disliked Oricorio, but that theory alone has made me like all four of its forms a lot more! Just in time for my Ultra Moon playthrough :D

Than Tapu Fini as Marlin Face.
And Tapu Lele as the guardian of magic and fun stuff. (and... Would explain her psychic type too)
So since you showed the anime towards the end of the video, I feel okay using it as a source: in the anime, Tapu Fini explicitly has the power to connect the living with the spirits of the dead through a special mist it produces, putting it squarely in the role of Kanaloa.
As far as Olivia's similarly to Tapu Lele goes, while Olivia lacks Lele's casual, capricious cruelty, she is responsible for a lot of the damage she tries to fix thanks to her own clumsiness; it is another anime-only trait, but it's so inherent to her there that I feel like it's meant to be canon across all media.
I don’t think anyone should take what hunter S tomson says as fact
2:45
It's Māori (MAA-OH-REE), not mayori.
Or another way of spelling it out is "Mou-ree", with the mou from MOUntain and the r is the weird extended version that most English speakers can't seem to do.
Cant get over how much I love how much your filming set has grown ❤
13:40
"he's the leader of the bunch you know him well"
Is that a reference to the DK rap?
"may-or-ri"
Lockstin my dude that is not how you pronounce Maori. I've seen this happen in a few of your videos that mention my homeland's indigenous culture, so I'm gonna help you out with how it's actually pronounced.
For starters the word "Maori" is two syllables "mao" and "ri", not three.
The "mao" part is like a deep meow (mau) or rhymes with the pow in kapow (mow). You could even get away with just ignoring the "a" entirely and pronounce the word as "mo-ri"
I hope this helps!
My favorite generation 7 legendary pokemon happened to be one of tapus/guardian deities, and my favorite guardian deities is tapu lele, tapu lele is a majestic butterfly legendary pokemon and
tapu lele shares life, and is the most caring of the tapus and tapu lele is also the most majestic of the tapus, my favorite insect is a butterfly and tapu lele is a legendary butterfly pokemon and tapu lele plays a big role in the Games too. And also, tapu lele resides in the ruins of life, makes sense.
I Live In New Zealand, And I feel the same. I’m Not Offented, Heck, It made me giggle a little but it is nice to get it correct.
You forgot one thing that Lele and Olivia have in common.
They're by far the most Rule 34'd among their respective groups.
Also, I'd call "dropping a gigantic boulder on you" pretty darn violent.
Really? I could see this being the case for Olivia, but Lele? I've seen mons Rule 34'd a lot more than her :v
@@jordy7625 Lele's group isn't "all Pokemon," it's "all Tapu."
@@blarg2429 Oh my b
I have a question! What is Jirachi's connection to Archie, you think from his room in ORAS regarding the picture?
7:53 some NPCs in game say that tapu bulu lives in the middle of that desert because it wants to be alone and left in peace
13:12 I'm pretty sure that lele at least in the show can be said to be overly innocent and childish Olivia even said that it doesn't understand how strong it is next to other Pokémon and it tries to battle playfully but it doesn't understand that what it is doing is cruel and I say it can be called childish because when it's scales didn't work to heal Ash's rockruff from the damage Tapu lele itself did it reacted by attacking the Pokémon it was trying to heal like it was angry that it's scales didn't work basically throwing a temper tantrum
Olivia may not be cruel but she is a bit rough with people, like if she hugs someone she might tend to squeeze them too tight!

"Its *a* theory?"

Tapu Fini definitely is the God of the Underworld. The anime says it's mists have the power to reunite people with their deceased loved ones
12:41 "the leader of the bunch you know him well" he's finally back to kick some tail
I seem to remember something similar to this in the end of Pokémon series
Their battle music is also pretty good and fits them, too.

Also the Fini Oricorio is a ghost type, which further ties in with the death theme
I think it is easy to explain Tapu Bulu being Lono (no idea how it is spelled). It has a bell in the lowest part of its body.
So is a Z-move pose and symbol video ever coming? Like the fairy icon is kinda based on a fairy, but the fairies in pokemon have all kinds of shapes, so is it based on ribombee??
The editor has used their holy power to crush a fricken wingull. True art.

The uhhh PURPLE ocorio ( I forgot how to spell )
Can summon the dead
Tapu Fini theoretically is the god of the underworld
The bird thingy and Tapu Fini is theoretically the same
I went to Hawaii once and got to see actual totems of the gods the Tapus are based on. It was cool.
For real I thought there was only Tapu Koko when I was younger (by that I mean like a year ago.)
outta curiosity, what's the background music?
Music fits Tapu Bulu because from what I remember it rings its bell to make plant life grow
Bulu is the only Tapu with a bell, hence it's god of music status. Great video!
Oh yeah, that’s true, and it also resides in the ruins of abundance which have the least amount of humans and pokemons which makes it the god of peace.

Hey Lockstin, I know this seems a but off topic, but I wanted to know your thoughts on what we've seen in Sword and Shield so far. Now that we have more information on new Pokemon, Galarian and Gigantamax forms, and so on, I thought it would be cool to hear your opinion on these things.
I'd like to see a video explaining the origins of Shiny Pokémon.
Shinies are albino or melanistic versions of Pokemon, perhaps there was a genetic mutation that caused the Pokemon to be born in odd color.
Went to Hawaii a few months ago and I was in love with the island and the tapu coco bit almost made me cry not even joking
You talking about the Tapus' capricious nature towards humanity made me wonder... why the hell did Tapu Koko save the player in the beginning of the game if it doesn't care about protecting humans? Maybe, being a guardian deity and all, it could somehow sense that disaster could soon befall Alola via the Ultra Beasts, whom the Tapus have fought before. Maybe Tapu Koko sensed that the PC would become entangled in the Aether Foundations plans, and be vital to Alola's protection, and decided to save them- along with giving them a gift, a blessing, in the form of a Z-stone, to help them along.
And well... it was right, after all; it's the PC who stops Lusamine (or Necrozma in USUM), saving Alola from true disaster even as the Tapus again fought the Ultra Beasts. Perhaps that's even why the Tapus deign to fight you in the post-game; if the little human who saved Alola- the islands, as well as the people- wants a battle, then why not give it to them? And if they manage to actually capture them... well, a human lifetime is nothing to a god, and they could probably break out whenever they want to (I don't buy, even for a moment, that a Pokeball could actually hold a legendary unless they allowed it).
Eh, it's just a theory. A POKEMON THEORY!!
It was actually rescuing Nebby. A bazillion years ago whichever Pokemon happens to be the game mascot of the version being played showed up and trounced all four Tapu, earning their loyalty in the process. It then tasked them with watching out for its kids; Nebby isn't specifically established as coming from that bloodline or whatever but belongs to the right species. I forget where this is spelled out in-game (for obvious reasons I'd guess Malie Library), but my info isn't a theory.
“... as this was taken from the people. -ALONG WITH MANY OTHER THINGS- “ Colonialism in 12 words.

A present you say... well, it IS my birthday :>>>>>> (*cough* notice me Lockstin)
JacobHero congratulations

Its my too
i think that maybe, Oricorio's different forms could reference countries influencing the history of the country:
1-pa'u style, being based on the traditional pa'u dance, reflects the hawaian culture.
2-sensu style, a reference to traditional japanese dances, is also a reference to japan, maybe because of the proximity.
3-baile style, clearly a reference to flamenco, because of the spanish colonies and maybe because of the battle of cagayan (but i dont really believe that)
4-pom-pom style, inspired by cheerleading, a reference to the united states that hawai became part of.
3:15 the english word taboo has very similar meaning, as it was taken from these people. Along with. *many other things.*
Damn I'm accidentally early.
That’s what he said
tapu bulu is big chungus
Correct.
My Tapu Fini wears fish net stockings as I caught it in a net ball.
Tapu Fini also fits the underworld in the anime more in the episode where tapu fini shows the main cast their dead loved ones
The Oricorio forms brings an interesting idea, what would a non alolan Oricorio look like, there should be a "first" form that was taken before they drank the nectar right? And what would happen if they left alola, would they be forever stuck as the form they left in? What if they went to Sinnoh and drank from around the emotion lakes? So many possibilities from all the games.
4:58 tapu! tapu kong! tapu! tapu kong is here! XD
I just keep rewatching the part where he explains Tapu Koko cause i really like the music
Tapus: holy sacred being not to be messed with
Random 10yo trainer: haha I need you for my dex entry LUL
What is that beautiful beat when he explained tapu koko
Love this kinda videos!! Please keep making them, and we need another conspiracy one like IT ALL COMES TOGETHER!!
Isn't Oricorio Baile style a flamenko dancer because that dance mimics bullfighters moving the red fabric in front of a bull, but with the long skirt?
Lockstin: "He's the leader of the bunch. You know him well."
Me: "And he's FINALLY back to kick some tail! DK DONKEY KONG! D K! DONKEY KONG IS HERE!
