Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out! - เกม
I'm surprised you didn't mention Galvani's famous frog leg experiment.
He showed that using static electricity, you can make a frog move it's leg muscles, even if it's dead or completely dissected.
He also used this discovery to make a frog galvanoscope, a frog leg in a tube used to detect voltage differences.
Thought the same thing, also commented about it
That's what I was about to say.
yep was about to comment that. I didn't even think about it before Lokstin asked "why is it a frog ?" but that seemed obvious then
Cool fact, didn't know that
There's also the levitating frog by magnet field experiment. It won a noble prize in 2000. Not sure how relevant
the fact that Turkey had color in the avocado map was weird at first. but when you remember that the two peninsulas are really alike it seems more normal. the two peninsulas are basically twins
Mountain chicken
Facts🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷türkiye
Pretty sure the Christian to Muslim ratio is _completely inverse_ between them. Though Turkey _was_ apparently the first Muslim-majority nation to have a gay pride march so I guess they're at least _somewhat_ more progressive than the norm. Not sure how progressive the nations of the Iberian Peninsula (there's five BTW, four if you don't count France) are though
Fun fact, the reason it’s based of the Iberian Midwife toad specifically is not only because it’s from the Ibearian Peninsula but also because this frogs calls sound like electronic beeps, hence it being an electric type.
I don't care what everyone says, Bellibolt is the most friend shaped Pokemon that would me want to hug it!
I agree with you, I love him.
He is very cute, but his abbility allows him to counter 80% of all types in the game
Yes, but oddish
@@JacobeeVa Yes, but Goomy
@@JacobeeVa i didn't said there were no counters, dragon,grass and ground are the only types that resist electric. But all other Mons(especialy water and flying) will just die. Well that is unless he is a physical attacker
I think the frog connection has more to do with Galvani’s frog leg experiment
If it evolved into a ghost type this would be more fitting.
Another theory I have heard as part of Bellibolt's inspiration are those stress dolls whose eyes bulge out when you squeeze them. They have the same body shape and Bellibolt's false eyes that it uses for intimidation are like the bulging eyes of the stress doll.
I can imagine someone squeezing a bellibolt to relieve stress now xD Making those squeaky noises.
@@MrKlausbaudelaire and it just smiles and frogs away
bellibolt has big man splatoon 3 energy
I never new I needed avocado frog.
Can't wait to do a frog/toad only playthrough.
i was thinking Bellibolt was just a frog that swallow a Plasma Ball.good to know i was wrong
knew
@@plyzwild wrong
@@Rajclaw frong
What are your other 5 Frog/Toad Pokémon gonna be on your team for the play through? Just curious lol if you don’t mind me asking
I love how friend shaped he is.
Very wholesome of you to not add the fact that the Aztecs and other natives of the region used the word avocado (ahuacatl) for ball sack too, because the fruit hangs weirdly from the tree and has that "frog-like" texture
Wait till you see the name of bellibolt's evo 👀
@@Quario If it has one.
Not to mention that Bellibolt vaguely resembles the beta design for Politoed, having the same design on the face and the fake eyes looking similar to the latter's real ones.
Another intersting tidbit is that belibol looks like a cleffary XD
@@zebimicio5204 how
Yeah, and it's not even vague! It's uncanny. It's undoubtedly based on that beta Politoed design, I love the precedent that sets 😁
So basically every Pokémon in this generation (much like the previous one) either comes down to "it's connected to Spain/Portugal because it's from there." or because Spain/Portugal said "your thing it's useful I'll take it." 😆
Also 4:54 GENIUS way to showcase what you were talking about for how some toads' eyesight work at a standstill. Hysterical. Love it.
At least it’s more realistic and includes all kinds of different cultural inspirations and niche historical events
Just saying. A regional buizel line that becomes the giant amazonian river otter, the portuguese called the "river wolves" because they are super vicious. Water fighting then water dark would be awesome
Wish it was like this for Unova... Instead of having a dex that was a straight re-hash of Gen 1.
@@TornaitSuperBird don’t sleep on the Unova dex. It has some low lows but peak highs!
@@TornaitSuperBird
A lot of them are based on common North American flora and fauna. Did you by chance miss the headdress sporting eagle or literal cotton puff? :P
I too enjoy when they add an extra squishy Pokémon to the world. It adds to the diversity of the dex. I bet it's gonna do well in competitive.
In competitive electric is the worst type to be without good speed, high attack, and a good move pool. Most electric type Pokémon sit in either PU or NU because of those issues, those two being the lowest tiers one can be before being considered unusable for any competitive play.
The false eyes with the real ones being so small they can be mistaken for nostrils puts me in mind of Basilisks in Dark Souls.
Oh no lol
Cursedfactd: The yellow thing on it's cheeks are the eyes
Reminds me of Barreleye fish too
I think it also visually resembles a punching bag, and the point on it's belly looks like a target frame. That works really well with it's ability, and passive nature.
Holy crap it *is* an avocado
How did I not see that
I've always wanted to be an avocado when I grow up. My parents said my dream would never come true.
Keep chasing your dreams, don't give up. You'll be an avocado if you fight long enough
@@MarioFRC32 😭 Ty, at least someone supports me♥
@@TheAsianKiwi it’s almost Halloween, be an avocado
@@frostbite3756 Good idea, even if only for a day, my dream WILL come true
I'll be honest, when I first saw it, I was like "Is that a frog or an Avocado?" Now I want some Guacamole. XD
Turns out the answer is: yes.
Get some chips as well.
@@johnathanedwards9054 It was the Spanish that brought potatoes to Europe.
I love how you literally show use what it looks like at 4:45
2:30 this just adds onto my theory that Bellibolt is a convergent evolution to Chansey. Now other than shape the shape and the eyes they also both draw power from an egg.
Thank you! I saw a pic of both Chansey and Bellibolt side by side and they look so similar I can't unsee it
Accidentally replied instead of of comment. Sorry XD
Beli/Biri (ビリ)is short for biribiri, the sound of an electric shock. It's a bilingual pun. Beli, belly. The Japanese name has similar wordplay: ハラバリー Harabarī Hara meaning belly and bari (baribari being a similar electric-based onomatopoeia to biribiri and pikapika, in this case a crackling sound) sounding similar to belly.
Bilingual puns are awesome
I'd love to see a video of Lockstin going threw his research process!
"Threw"
For anyone who wanted to know, that avocado plush is from Squishables! They are stupidly soft and nice to hug. It's so funny that he got the one that shares his name.
That frame per second joke. Brilliant.
I was so proud of myself for saying, “maybe I type of frog” in the first part of the guessing her partner Pokémon. And I was right!
This makes me appreciate Belibolts design so much more! I really liked it when it was revealed but I just couldn't see see the frog aspect of its design no matter how much I looked at it. But now that I see that it has avocado aspects as well, I love it even more!
Wouldn't be the first time a pokémon didn't 100% look like the animal it's based on, looking at you, Diglett.
@@rjs4176 Also, Poliwhirl and Poliwrath-they're still apparently tadpoles.
For another electricity and frog connection, how about that travelling show men used to use electricity to make dead frog limbs move by zapping them to entertain the crowds
I love this absolute chungus of a mon. Either set of eyes you look at it, its adorable
Two other things to note about Bellibolt, firstly, its orange patterns could be a reference to the Salmon-Striped Frog and their orange stripes. I know they live all the way in Australia but hey, it's something. Secondly, since its real eyes are in the middle of its face it makes its fake eyes look like the cheek sacks of a frog, cute!
I liked the fps drop when talking about the fps drop in a toad's brain
I didn't realize it was based off an avocado and now I'm naming mine Nickoado lol
Unironically, I'm thinking about nicknaming my Bellibolt, "Avocado."😅
I'm also going to add the fact that the galvanic cell was originally made using a frog's body.
Avocado shaped friend.
Random thought: since it is based on an avocado and is the partner to a “streamer” do you think the popularity of avocados as a superfood has something to do with why that is?
i love the Palta frog, also wasn't expecting to learn about electric avocados & the idea of a Guacamole lamp
I love Bellibolt. One of the first new Pokémon I caught for my adventure was a cute little Tadbulb with a modest nature and I never took it off my team. After evolving, that squishy blubby boi became one of the ace members of my team all the way to the endgame, coming in clutch numerous times when I needed it. Such a sweet froog.
Its that really old vine: "An Avocado! Thanks!"
I love it
Spanish Inquisitor animated Austin was something I didn't expected to see
You make the best Pokémon content on here, I always enjoy these breakdown videos!
I got like.. whiplash from how fast bellibolt's inpiration stuff just appears in the start of the video so. Thanks for that Lockstin-
i wasn’t as into Bellibolt until i realized its big, dopey eyes were fake and the “nostrils” were its real eyes. that’s adorable
The way the FPS actually slowed down as he was explaining it made me smile
I appreciate the butt scratch at 3:15. Btw you are the most entertaining poketuber (among other venues;) and i just love everything about you and your channel. I will support as much as i can so i may continue enjoying these vids till my life force ceases :)
Love the mudkip plush in the back! It's my favorite pokemon :)
I would do this every school days but it is fun to me watching his videos 😄
The image you displayed for that egg-carrying frog from Europe was THE EXACT SAME I had in a Castilla y León's fauna and flora exam last year
5:57 be bonk our microwave sometimes when it doesn't spin
Bellibolt is primo hugging material! Suffice to say, any plushies of this Mon are going to have a lot to live up to!
I need this video as a series with a different pokemon every episode
This sure was pretty cool and I just love these videos
Hope you're having a good day
If they color the shiny for this purposefully, it'll probably be golden or brown like an overripe avocado. However it's changed, I hope they make the belly purple to reflect those plasma balls you mentioned.
I think belibolts back looks like a wind turbine, going back to the clean avocado energy!
As someone whose childhood home was in the woods next to a pond, the spring peepers and bullfrog sounds are a VISCERAL core memory. Like i got metaphorically punched by the audio you added, hahw
Wow I learned a lot today. I love learning real world things from Pokémon. Great video 👍
One of the best part of getting new pokemon is getting new explanation videos
agreed
One thing I noticed is that it's stomach kind of looks like a record, and its fake eyes on the side of its head look like headphones. When I was in Barcelona the late night clubbing scene was huge there and the locals could go so far into the night that a lot of stores wouldn't open until 10 or 11 the next morning, so Bellibolt could also be made to look like a DJ
I watched Austin John’s reaction to Bellibolt and someone in his chat said the belly reminded them of a plasma sphere as well, not sure if that’s a true inspiration, but it’s a cool feature at least!
He looks like he'd be a Kirby enemy. He's so stupid, both inside and outside, and I love him so much
4:54 (initial reaction) oh god is my internet taking a long walk off a short pier?
Anyone else want Bellibolt’s evolution to be called Avocatoad? 😂
Heh… that lil’ troop of Locquistadores at the start is oddly adorable. 😊
5:00 relaxed toads be like "no thought head empty"
“1 frame every 2 seconds” ah, so my computer is a toad at rest, got it
Another pokemon to put into the sandwiches.
Also I figured a frog was an electric type because one of the earliest experiments on electricity was making the legs of dead frogs move by shocking them.
I learnd alot more avacado facts then I expacted. Now I kinda wish it will be electric/grass. Oh well, its still one of the most friend shaped pokemon they have ever made and I love it.
Toad from Mario is adorable and no one can tell me otherwise!
4:50 I love the visual reference, for a second I thought the video was messing up, until my 30 FPS brain caught on.
I remember back in the day hearing about thes pad that could generate power by foot steps
"Frogs are just avocados with feet."
When you played the frogs croaking I got flashbacks to when I was a kid.
"1 frame every 2 seconds" like everything happening at a distance in Legends Arceus
The frog that carries its babies in its back reminds me of a pokemon based on frogs and mushrooms that I made it carried mushrooms on its back but these mushrooms were actually its kids
It reminds me of the frogs from Mario, the ones you jump on their heads and coins pop out of their mouths, little purse or wallet frogs. Also theres a mushroom looking thing I'm guessing is a Pokemon... that kind of looks like a rocky Mario Mushroom... hmmmm interesting, now hoping Bruxish is here too, because its shiny is Piranha Plant colors, we might be able to have a whole team of Pokemno based off Mario, so far at least 1/2.
I like the frame drop physical example
6:40 never stop using my what!? My what, Lockstin, tell me!!
Never stop using you-
"It gets SMACKED" *Hits innocent avocado* "...and it gets a free charge!"
Is no one gonna talk about the fact that it resembles Lucio, the Brazilian OW hero with a frog mascot, Brazil being a former Portuguese colony?
Bellibolt is absolutely his ace.
Frl
Can you do videos about the inspirations behind each of the gym leaders. Like Iono?
This is why I love your videos man! Nerd talk about pokemon whilst also learning about real life, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
The avocado connection seems like a bit of a stretch to me but "testicle frog" is a surprisingly apt descriptor for this abomination.
I've been waiting for this video
The FPS segment was 🔥🔥
The symbol on its back also resembles the "Flux Capacitor" from Back to the Future which when its turned on iirc looks similar to Bellibolt's well...belly.
Another loose connection between frogs and electricity could be the experiments Luigi Galvani performed on frog legs that proved electric currents stimulate muscle movement.
Thanks 4 all the hard work.
I appreciate this video so much because every other TH-camr I watched, called it everything but an avocado, but the second I saw it myself I thought “you can make guac with him”
Its worth mentioning Bellibolt being green can also point to how Copper turns green when rusted (same for Copperajah being green) and whats the best metal to conduct electricity? COPPER!
Wonderful analysis! I was considering that it was a food version of Chansey that is a pokefication of how food affects our own energy levels in our stomach.
It definitely pulls inspiration from the beta model of politoad
3:18 I love how Sismitoad just scratches his butt
I can't believe he forgot to mention Speakers and Piezoelectricity in this video.
Belibolt's ability is sure Piezoelectricity, which is used in modern Speakers ,Recording devices and quartz watch, converting physical pressure it receives into electriticy.
I actually thought I was having internet problems for a few seconds there. You got me. Darn it.
Great vid Lockstin!
4:50 So Frogs play games at the speed of scarlet and violet lol
We gonna ignore that FPS explanation? That was so good 😭
“We’ll know more when it evolves, _if_ it evolves”
Im actually going to make a prediction that Belibolt _is_ the evolution, and that it has a yet to be shown pre-evolved form
0:44 Huh, good animation.
1:51 I used the avocado to farm the avocado
The way nearly every Galar or Paldea explained on this channel just has some colonization origins.
