We fixed the issue of EVERY Arabic word being backwards. We had fixed the issue before, but then I uploaded the un-fixed version. But all is well now! Big thanks again to Kaihatsu for the help with this one, Check out our other collab video on his channel! Link in the description!
So Hoopa is: a Chinese tale, adapted and fleshed out by Arab culture, marketed and popularized by the West, residing in the equivalent of France, in a Japanese franchise. Got it :)
Also did Lockstin get it wrong? OSP says that Sun Wu Kong was like.. Tripley immortal, and the ring on his head couldn't kill him, just give him incredibly intense migraines
About Hoopa's name: Hoopa is clearly a wordplay for hula hoop and Oopart(Out of place artefact) for objets found in a place where they should not be(ex: a phone found inside a egyptian pyramid). But also from the french expression "Ou pas" wich means litteraly "Or not" or more like saying "Nope".
This is a theory still but on the topic of Hoopa, it’s very likely that Hoopa transported the real world Palace of Versailles into the Kalos Region as there’s depictions of real world painting and people in the Parfum Palace
Lockstin went out of his way to fix all the errors in it. What a mad lad. As I said before I'd love to see a region based of these 3 areas The middle East China and subsaharan Africa I really feel that Africa doesn't get much love in video games as a whole. Not only that in these 3 areas there are a lot of folk tales you can base new pokemon on. It would be epic.
@@ThePlasmicAlchemist Africa has a lot to different geographic differences too. In the north hot desserts Sub Saharan is dry and arid. Central is filled with jungles and rivers And the South is filled with plans and montains. It would be interesting to say the least.
I feel like those three are great ideas for areas, but also pretty big and should be narrowed down. For example, Tibet alone would be substantially larger most real-world counterparts to pokemon regions. I'd be fine with having a pokemon region based on a larger area, but those three regions specifically have so many different cultures and/or geographical features that each could be used for multiple different regions like how Japan alone was used for gen 1-4 regions.
@@JacobPDeIiNoNi Tibet is legit huge. I've seen some people traveling there. Ideas for China regions Tibet Hong kong Beijing Shanghai And Macau Anyone and I'd be happy.
Speaking of Infernape, I just find it so neat that for 2 gens in a row they based their fire starters on Journey to the West. Emboar is based on Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong's pig companion
I love Hoopa alot, and even if his confined form is annoying in Hoopa and the Clash of Ages movie, his Unbound form is absolutely incredible. Hyperspace Fury is really good, but sadly, he's not bulky enough to take a hit from Fairies. But I like him though, since "Ala Hoopa ring" is funny.
That story of Sun Wukong peeing on Buddha's hand is super silly and I love it. Despite it being incredibly long, the first volume of Journey to the West is full of silly moments like that.
The story almost exclusivly consists out of Sun beeing silly, the monk beeing obducted or the company beeing at odds with each other . . . But it is wierdly amuseing anyway even with it always beeing the same
@@SingingSealRiana *five. + 1 for learning the secrets of immortality via Taoist teachings + 1 for crossing his name out of the Book of Death + 1 for eating the Peaches of Immortality + 1 for chugging the Celestial Wine, which grants immortality and lastly , + 1 for eating several of Lao Tzu's pills of immortality that makes five!
Well, Deoxys might if been created by the Ultimate Weapon’s laser 3,000 years ago like it’s Sapphire Pokédex entry hints at. But if we’re talking about with current information, maybe Eternatus has some connection and vice versa
HELP MY!!! My muscles are too big! I am a big tall man and my muscles are even BIGGER! I use them to get views but they HURT so much!!! Because they are heavy. Do you have any advice, dear wamr
I mean, you could have brought up that Hoopa is the entire reason for the Pokémon Masters game to exist. Lear couldn’t have started anything without Hoopa. But that’s a small gripe that really isn’t even a gripe, nice video again Lockstin!
Really enjoyed this video, you mastered that fine line of being humorous and informative with this one. Sometimes I find you go a little too unserious with some previous origin videos. But this one feels like you got it exactly right. Or at least for me … Great stuff! 😊
Most Legendary in OR/AS came from Hoopa's ring It makes sense though, and just like with Ultra Space, they all come from multiple dimensions, like Suicune from Crystal specifically I think it was a cool detail, just sad it wasn't mentioned anywhere in game
Thank you so much for making this video! The Kalos mythical Pokemon are some of the hardest creatures in the universe for me to understand in regards to their origins. I personally would love to see you do videos on Volcanion, Zeraora, and Zarude.
You made a good point in that the Hoopa's movie wasn't that memorable for Hoopa himself. The things I remember most about that movie was the giant Legendary Pokemon Kaiju fight, the awesome Regigigas computer-like cry, and that Mega-Rayquaza basically soloed 6 Legendary Pokemon.
Partway into this video I realized I actually knew a lot of this because of a movie I happened upon on Netflix called Nezha. I highly recommend it, and it’s awesome to watch it now knowing how it fits in with the history of Jinn and with Pokemon too.
LMAOO i’m arab and speak arabic so when he said majnun at the beginning i laughed my ass off bc we use that word as a way of saying to someone “you’re crazy” in an argument
I Like That The Original Aladdin Story Was Just Kind Of A Fusion Of Cultures. It Goes Well With The Lyrics For "Arabian Nights" In Disney's Aladdin Reboot,Where Genie Says "Where You Wonder Among Every Culture And Tongue".
Overly Sarcastic Production is doing a great abbreviated breakdown of the Journey to the West and has an episode on the Monkey King that I highly recommend.
This video was very interesting! I'm definitely gonna check out Kaihatsu's channel. I'd like to see more in depth videos about legendaries in the future.
As a Muslim who has attended Arabic schools, learned about the Middle East culture, and has studied a bit about Jinns, I just want to make a few points. 1. Jinns are still believed to this day, and most Muslims consider them real 2. It is believed that Jinns usually do not show themselves, but travel through our world, some even living on Earth 3. Some Jinns are good while others are bad, but if the good Jinns are angered they can harm you, but it is not common 4. Do not say the Jinn and Djinn out loud as saying their name attracts them 5. Evil Jinns do show themselves to people to scare them Thanks for listening to my long speech.
Lockstin: I mean, I'm not saying it's like the top 20 or anything... Me: Lockstin, there's only 21 movies currently out, if you don't count the 3D movie remake!
And this is why Hoopa is my favorite Pokemon of all time. I just love him, and its basically confirmed that he is the second strongest pokemon only behind Arceus. I really liked his movie just for the fact that it was a five vs five legendary showdown with Mega Rayquaza, Giratina and most box art legendaries,its incredible. But for all its strengths, it kind of sucks competitevely but its alright.
Why should they thou? Just butchering a bunch of traditional folk tales and dumping a ton of marketing and pr into it and they instantly have some "classical animations" since hardly any kids are interested in reading a wall of text made by Andersen or Grimm brothers
you know what. just about 2 days ago im looking for hoopa lore, and i wish theres a video about it in your channel. i was sad when theres none and you didnt talk alout bout him on pokemon move or name origin. im happy today
Hoopa was released for pokemon go in September of this year. I know because I caught it mear minutes before a tornado struck my town. Named it Tormenta after it passed.
I thought you were gonna mention Erlang Sheng. Sheng? Shen? But Erlang Sheng is a noble warrior god. It's been a while since I studied a bit of this, so I hope my memory serves me correctly. Sheng was the most powerful warrior the heavens had and was ordered by the king of the Chinese pantheon of gods to defeat Wukong. And boy, Wukong finally met his match. They would battle many a time with most matches ending in a draw. Sheng being the more powerful warrior, and Wukong being the more intelligent warrior. Even when Sheng would defeat Wukong, Wukong would outsmart the warrior god and escape. Sheng eventually decided he needed to outsmart Wukong. Wukong's behavior reminded me of a Disney villain, if I recall. Ego and all. If I remember correctly, Sheng used Wukong's ego to outsmart him and capture Wukong once and for all. Then, Wukong was sentenced to be be held under a mountain. I forget how long but I know it's somewhere between 100-1000 years. Eventually that time passes. Goddess of mercy finds him. Offers him release from is cage as long as he becomes her deciple. And she, Guan Yin gives Sun Wukong that ring shaped crown that makes him behave. She's a goddess of mercy, not a goddess of gulliblness. She knows he's a trickster.
Incineroar is very much under appreciated as a Pokémon with the perfect execution of its appeal to the fan base, when incineroar first leaked many believed it to be anooooother fire and fighting type, cause and effect was that incineroar grew the ire of the fan base before it even was released, Sun and Moon come out and it revealed to be a wrestling Pokémon specifically a heel, the bad guy in the wrestling, the heel Pokémon went in to be a bipedal dark type much to the ire of the fan base again as they wanted a four legged fire type, but the thing that make incineroar my favorite is that it does not care what anyone else thinks about it and will play the bad guy to its very much enjoyment, it is such a good heel that it is even a heel in real life and the designers of incineroar love it, so much that they even put him in Smash Bro’s
Incineroar is awful, ugly and brutal and it's so stupid it's not a fighting type since it looks like one... Or at least this is what I thought the first time I saw it! Now, after all this time it has immensely grown on me placing it on my list with my favourite pokémon! I just love it!
@@_george_jorge2067 Yes, kinda the same happened to me. I thinks its because he got all the marketing from Pokémon Company to be one of the "Alola's mascots" instead of Decidueye, even that Decidueye had much more appeal than him IMO.
Hey Lockstin, I wanna thank you for this video especially! Would love to see more gen 6 content - it felt kind of lore-light and you're great at filling in the gaps. My friend and I have our own lore-building project and Kalos has been a wild ride.
Absol is one of my favorite pokemon, and I think it's kinda over-looked. I feel like with it's whole "warning people of danger' thing there's got to be an interesting origin in there somewhere.
I would like to suggest a video about Deoxys and the real-world viruses, which can mutate and adapt to various circumstances, like Deoxys does changing its formes
Ah yes, one of my favorite and rather unique Mythicals, not only was Hoopa a main protag/antag in the movie, he looks cheeky in a cute way Even though we was one of the many forgettable Pokemon, he has a special place in my Favorite Mythicals.
Now I want a Irish Pokemon game, where the legendaries are remenisant to the hero Cu, with his best friend, and brother like, that he killed because of Medb
I remember learning about the sun wukong story in one of the comics I think American Born Chinese and I got excited about infernape so much that I named him Wukong... also my school had an Arabian nights play and I also watched Magi (which has barely anything to do with the book besides the names and the jinns and all that) so that’s fun
I find it fascinating that an anonymous story teller somewhere on the road between the Middle East and China centuries ago inspired a character in the most successful media franchise ever.
Videos like this make me realise how sheltered my life really was. Theres so many things about cultures across the world that I either didn't know at all or totally misunderstood because of racist undertones. I'm only just starting to understand Islamic culture more now because I'm trying to make an effort to. I may not agree with the Islamic faith, nor do I agree with Christian faith or any faith, but I allowed that to turn into a racist dismissal of such a massive part of the world that became hatred. I'm so glad that I'm starting to open my eyes, even if I have a long way to go. I hope many others can see this too and realize how we can be brought up to believe these racist ideas so thoroughly that we don't even realize they're racist. To be clear I mean our portrayal of asians and middle eastern peoples in just about everything in western culture.
Yeah necrozma should be little more talked about i mean ultra necrozma has also inspiration to a certain angel that of the seraphim and eternatus is incomplete just like necrozma
@@zelfris2958 did you knew that seraphim are six wings angels covered with purity fire ? They cover their bodies and faces with their wings. Dragon is Satan himself.
Fun Fact: Ne Zha was (at least in one tale) often fighting his father who lost. If I recall the story correctly, the father comes across the Buddha of Light who teaches him a spell to summon a Pagoda. With that spell he defeats his son who swears to change his ways and now the father is called the Heavenly Pagoda carrier.
I’m surprised he got so close in this video but just missed one of Hoopa’s biggest inspirations: There is a character in sun wukong’s story journey to the west named the rhinoceros king who literally uses a golden ring that can suck in anything. The rhinoceros king’s true form is later revealed to be a bull which explains why Hoopa has those bull horns.
I know that this is a Pokémon video but I can't stop thinking about Qiyana from League of Legends. I associate Hoopa with her because they hold the same temperament and personality. Prideful, powerful and bound. There's so many things to learn about folklore, religion and culture, great video!
I liked the Manaphy, the Lucario, the Latias/Latios and darkrai. . . Hard to rank them, quite a bit time has passed since I have seen any. Maybe 1 Darkrai, 2. Lucario, 3 manaphy, 4 latias/latios.

Incineroar is awful, ugly and brutal and it's so stupid it's not a fighting type since it looks like one... Or at least this is what I thought the first time I saw it!
Now, after all this time it has immensely grown on me placing it on my list with my favourite pokémon! I just love it!
@@_george_jorge2067 well I like him too and Delphic as my 2nd fire starter.because I like people don't like .
@@Andrew-ch3xj hahaha Delphox is my number one favourite pokémon! 😍
@@_george_jorge2067 Yes, kinda the same happened to me. I thinks its because he got all the marketing from Pokémon Company to be one of the "Alola's mascots" instead of Decidueye, even that Decidueye had much more appeal than him IMO.
@@AndersonMallony-EricCF I totally agree! I like Decidueye too but I still prefer Incineroar...
Lockstin saying "Different universes" makes me believe that the theory with each Pokemon Cartridge being it's own universe connects to the anime too
Ya learn something new every day :) and dang, you went outta your way to fix and reupload? Legend
Love how this channel tricks me into learning history so I have somethin interesting to talk about with my grandparents so they think im smart
Hey Lockstin, I wanna thank you for this video especially! Would love to see more gen 6 content - it felt kind of lore-light and you're great at filling in the gaps. My friend and I have our own lore-building project and Kalos has been a wild ride.
HELLS YEAH!! SPOT ON!! Hoopa love right here and from a Lore perspective- I love how ya put it all together.
Mellota surely there’s more to her than just being a ballet dancer
Absol is one of my favorite pokemon, and I think it's kinda over-looked. I feel like with it's whole "warning people of danger' thing there's got to be an interesting origin in there somewhere.
I would like to suggest a video about Deoxys and the real-world viruses, which can mutate and adapt to various circumstances, like Deoxys does changing its formes
Ah yes, one of my favorite and rather unique Mythicals, not only was Hoopa a main protag/antag in the movie, he looks cheeky in a cute way
Even though we was one of the many forgettable Pokemon, he has a special place in my Favorite Mythicals.
Hoopa is my favorite pokemon
And really wood want to see it getting some more recognition.
Hoopa is such an under appreciated Pokémon, I miss the days of Oras and the days where Hoopa was still relevant
Poor gen 6 myths. Just got forgotten about
Now I want a Irish Pokemon game, where the legendaries are remenisant to the hero Cu, with his best friend, and brother like, that he killed because of Medb
"are you saying that one of the very few, most obviously middle-east inspired pokemon is actually chinese?"
"yes, yes I am."

I remember learning about the sun wukong story in one of the comics I think American Born Chinese and I got excited about infernape so much that I named him Wukong... also my school had an Arabian nights play and I also watched Magi (which has barely anything to do with the book besides the names and the jinns and all that) so that’s fun
“The rings, What do the rings mean, Mason?!”

💀 no step on SNEK! 🇺🇸🇭🇰
True
I'm so glad you did this. Hoopa is probably my second favorite Pokemon, right after Yveltal.
"Ne Zha was born a 4 year old boy." Now that's not confusing at all.
I mean we got virgin birth so we're all weird here.
I find it fascinating that an anonymous story teller somewhere on the road between the Middle East and China centuries ago inspired a character in the most successful media franchise ever.
Videos like this make me realise how sheltered my life really was. Theres so many things about cultures across the world that I either didn't know at all or totally misunderstood because of racist undertones. I'm only just starting to understand Islamic culture more now because I'm trying to make an effort to. I may not agree with the Islamic faith, nor do I agree with Christian faith or any faith, but I allowed that to turn into a racist dismissal of such a massive part of the world that became hatred. I'm so glad that I'm starting to open my eyes, even if I have a long way to go. I hope many others can see this too and realize how we can be brought up to believe these racist ideas so thoroughly that we don't even realize they're racist. To be clear I mean our portrayal of asians and middle eastern peoples in just about everything in western culture.
This actually might be my favorite episode because I literally learned a lot about culture not just Pokémon
Necrozma, Lunala and solgaleo: We can do that but better
Yeah necrozma should be little more talked about i mean ultra necrozma has also inspiration to a certain angel that of the seraphim and eternatus is incomplete just like necrozma
@@zelfris2958 necrozma is more inspired from Amaterasu the sun goddess in shinto myth than an angel.
... did you know that seraphim are known as dragons in heaven
@@zelfris2958 did you knew that seraphim are six wings angels covered with purity fire ? They cover their bodies and faces with their wings.
Dragon is Satan himself.
@@zelfris2958 eternatus isn't incomplete its literally just black death pokemonized.
Fun Fact: Ne Zha was (at least in one tale) often fighting his father who lost. If I recall the story correctly, the father comes across the Buddha of Light who teaches him a spell to summon a Pagoda. With that spell he defeats his son who swears to change his ways and now the father is called the Heavenly Pagoda carrier.
Dude stop talking to a ring he's chillin in his genie bottle
I’m surprised he got so close in this video but just missed one of Hoopa’s biggest inspirations:
There is a character in sun wukong’s story journey to the west named the rhinoceros king who literally uses a golden ring that can suck in anything. The rhinoceros king’s true form is later revealed to be a bull which explains why Hoopa has those bull horns.
he got released on pokemon unite
I wasn't expecting much when I saw the title of this video, but I was wrong. This is awesome! Good work, Lockstin
Hi did u repost this?
You are first
@@3rdWheel ik
He in fact did he probably found am error in the original and reposted it since the original is gone
hi
I know that this is a Pokémon video but I can't stop thinking about Qiyana from League of Legends. I associate Hoopa with her because they hold the same temperament and personality. Prideful, powerful and bound. There's so many things to learn about folklore, religion and culture, great video!
Lockstin: "Hoopa"
* holds up part of a springboard pan *
The intro was perfect.
also the scout part was great too.
"It wasnt the best pokemon movie" what's your favorite one?
I liked the Manaphy, the Lucario, the Latias/Latios and darkrai. . . Hard to rank them, quite a bit time has passed since I have seen any.
Maybe 1 Darkrai, 2. Lucario, 3 manaphy, 4 latias/latios.
6:09 well Thanks Lockstin and Pascu & Rodri
As Arabian most of the Arabic facts r misunderstand by your friend
its not like its stopped me before 1:22 that little zoom i felt that in my soul
No one cares but I'm second ayy! Look at this tea tho- 👁️👄👁️ reposted?
Yeah it is reposted. Apparently some things in the video were spelled backwards or something? I think it is explained in the pinned comment
No mention of Masters, where Hoopa is the legend focused on in the main story....
Hoopa's currently relevant, just in a spinoff game.
i am just looking at ludicolo looking at me
