People love to talk about how it’s uncreative as a design but they’ve obviously never heard of a mimics. As for the eyes, they are pretty much what alot of gen one mons had and i think the self destructing is just to troll the player which is pretty typical of mimics.
@Christopher McGaughey Yeah I see how cool that would be but if it's based on another mythology in Japanese lore it wouldn't quite line up which is just as interesting in a mysterious sort of way. As opposed to the spooky possession thing. I liked both theories it was just a matter of which one they'd choose to go with.
Same I like that they paid attention to voltorb and changed him to match the era of poke balls. I hope they expend on some of the Pokémon mysteries like this one
I personally enjoy the simplistic and humble designs of most Gen 1 & 2 Pokemon over the sometimes bizarre designs more common as the gens wore on. Like you mentioned, many from the early days were based on animals and legends. Pokemon are often viewed as similar to pets, but its hard to see that in many more recent mons. Lastly, I'm not saying the new games are bad or 'gen wars,' I just notice something special that seems to be slipping away.
What if Voltorb is the product of someone abandoning a captured pokemon still in its PokeBall? I know it's kind of dark, but I've wondered what the relationship between a pokemon and the PokeBall it's in is like.
@@Ovotunit’s a rule in the CB/PB community that Polandball is drawn upside down because Poland is considered very backwards. Hence why he looks like Monaco and Indonesia. (Most people differentiate between the three by giving Monaco a pair of sunglasses and Indonesia a rice hat)
To me it almost seems like they shot themselves in the foot with these new entries,, SO MANY pokemon are things that were Nothing, and then came to life.. MUK is actually an example of that, Toxic muk that came to life from moons rays.. Pokeball hit by a pulse to make voltorb, Kids DYING and becoming pumkin pokemon, Humans dying and becoming yamasks.. That would make the LAWS OF PHYISICS For this worlds TERRIFYING, At any point in time YOU COULD BECOME A POKEMON! Or Your LETTER OPENER COULD BECOME A POKEMON. It just ugh cheapens the whole mystery of pokemon, the "actuals" i'll call them since I have no other word for real pokemon, So the "actuals" made pokemon mysterious, then saying all came from mew, bam squashed that, they blew up there own thread that could have kept weaking a mystery throughout the shw and game, What they could do now is for a finale, They are inside a game, and they realize this, it makes sense to them since they have these link cables and pokemn can be put into computers like data even though they are living things, wonder why we can put a ghost in. SD. card... LOL or better than that 4th wall breaking, or rather I guess a game device can be called the 5th wall lol You could have an explanation that pokemon are part of a digital universe parallel to ours, explaining many characteristics, Again Those would be bottom 2 since they already blew up their first chance with these pokedex entries. Point is pokemon isn't cool if ordinary things and people can just BE pokemon.. a Pokemon might as well just be a mysterious force that turns things into pokemon, there thats the answer pokemon come from a force that turns beings and static tools and goop into pokemon giving them a spirit.. Bleh.

*Dr Lava used Selfdestruct*
Oh shit I love this dude
Who is here after seeing Hisuian Voltorb!? 👋🏼😁
I was really hoping he'd be ghost/grass type finally proving the possession theory.

Voltorb is one of my favorite Pokémon.
Voltorb was inspired by the spheres (orbs) in the high voltage cables of the electrical towers

oooh i like that #100 pokedex entry theory.
I think you can teach the Gengar line self-destruct and explosion via tm...
It could also be explained by pokémon that were stored in pokeballs for so long that their energy and mutated and merged with the pokeball
I like this one.
thats horifing
nice video, quite underrated.

No I like voltorb
Great video!
Very interesting!
countryball ahh pokemon 💀
Voltorb Fact: I have a voltorb collection
I thought the balls in gen 2 where made out of apricorns not apricots
I very clearly misspoke and said the real world item they’re based off of by accident
Well i think the future has been predicted and now we know his origins
Voltorb is a Polandball and you cant change my mind
More like angry Indonesia
electrode is poland and voltorb is monaco or indonesia
@@Ovotunit’s a rule in the CB/PB community that Polandball is drawn upside down because Poland is considered very backwards. Hence why he looks like Monaco and Indonesia. (Most people differentiate between the three by giving Monaco a pair of sunglasses and Indonesia a rice hat)
@@miscellaneoussarnian5282 i wonder why poland is considered backwards? anyways thanks for the lesson
Hisuan Voltorb seems to be natural and a lot happier. This video was made before Legend Arceus, I'm now aware.
I always thought that PokeBalls were designed after Voltorb. But that's just me ignoring dex entries and established lore xD
Polandball
It would be funny it goes around catching other pokemon
What happened to PaPaLand?
that’s my cousin
@@PaPaSea Well you seem more informed than him lmao
VOLT + ORB
Electric Ball
Btw, VOLTORB'S cries sound like he's saying "Allahuakbar"

wow... voltrob is a,pokeball
Calling the concept of a mimic chest Japanese is pretty cringe considering its been common in d&d since the 70s
I wanna provide my own theory... An angry pokemon (due to the eyes), such as Marowak was caught in a failed pokeball attempt and somehow multiplied...
He’s a battery
he look as polandball
Very interesting!
