Not related to the video directly: but I love that they took Basculin, a Pokémon they LITERALLY ADMITTED was Dex filler, and gave it a badass evolution to be one of the faces of their new game.
Agreed, i can't believe i actually want a basculin on my team now.... which since it's water ghost would be a little doubled up with my Rowlet that I'll probably choose (Oshawatt is great and all, I usually pick the water type every gen, but it's single typing is disappointing. At least make it water steel or something if it's supposed to be a samurai).
I always loved Basculin, I just hope that there is a Blue-Stripe form for this evolution, because this clearly only has Red-Stripe characteristics with the spiky fins, huge eyes, and of course, the red. I personally prefer and like Blue-Stripe more, it looks so sleek, cool(in an elegant and calm way), and collected. It would only take a small snip at your finger after giving a warning whilst Red-Stripe would take your whole hand with no hesitation.
I apologize in advance for this video being a bit lower quality than what we normally do. It was made in like 7 hours. Normally we have weeks. Thanks for watching! and now for reading!
I like that Team Galactic is a corruption of the Galaxy Team thing. Like, how overtime, the original purpose of Team Galaxy has lost its meaning and became the corrupted Team Galactic since their logo is quite similar to one another.
I thought that but I really don’t think they’d mess with starter Pokémon by giving it a permanent, alternative form. So far starters only have Megas / Dynamax forms which are temporary
I just feel that having more Pokemon introduced mid-generation is a fine trade off for not having everyone in one game. Hoping we get to see the special evolutions for the starters soon.
@Ik It was obnoxious and insulting that they lied to us for SWSH. Now that it's a new game, and the development of this game included no such lie, I don't think it should be held accountable to that lie -- even if making good on the promises they failed to uphold last time would make it substantially better. As long as the game is good, and is better as a game than what SWSH "offered," I'll be content. Though it does need to actually jump that hurdle.
i like how the growlithe looks more like the small dragon dog statues of protection thingies of japan that it was supposed to be inspired by, i really like that change (also it based on statues and now being rock just makes it even better in hinsight)
They're called Komainu! =) I'm curious what Arcanine will look like. I really hope they give it a regional variant design. I'll be extremely disappointed otherwise.
@@shionrasenka well by the logic so far, if pre evo exists, evolution exists, so lets hope for komainu arcanine (or maybe its not even a arcanine and its something like a "arcamainu"....i tried to fuse the names xD)
@@KamisatoElias Item from HeartGold and SoulSilver that's used to call on Rayquaza. For some reason, it wasn't reused for OrAs. I theorize it might be a Mikado organ (the part that allows Rayquaza to Mega Evolve, according to one of the guys in Steven's company).
@@oodogla Yeah, it was an artificial orb made by the Pokemon Association in the manga iirc. Emerald's emerald was a shard of it. Manga usually does a good job at world building.
Mega Rayquaza is the King of Heaven, like how Zygarde is the King of Earth, making them just under Arceus in terms of importance, and they both have jade motifs.
3:46 “So there! We went full circle! It’s all coming together!” Man, hearing you say that phrase makes me a bit nostalgic, since I found your channel when you were doing your “reset” theories for SunMoon, with “It All Comes Together”
As an addition, I actually thought Hisui was meaning 火水 (Hi-Sui) mainly since Hokkaido is seen as a land of Mountain and Sea (the Ainu having significant connections spiritually with both), since 火山 (ka-zan, with ka being another reading of hi) meaning volcano and the sui meaning water. Hokkaido (北海道) itself means the Northern Sea Route/Path (roughly) after all, so I wouldn't be surprised if Hi is mentioning the central feature of Hisui, Mt. Coronet, and Sui is referencing its interconnection with the ocean, as the land both in reality and in Pokemon is an island. Sorry for going on for so long, just thought this idea would work nicely with your thought that Sui meant Water in this case. I am fairly familiar with this region, so I couldn't help myself.
Lockstin said "It all comes together" so many times, I flashed back to 2016. Ahh, good times. Those lore deep dives are some of my favorite videos on TH-cam.
I find it interesting how the region had more land in the past. Like, I know erosion is a thing, and global change and whatever but some changes seem so drastic that it makes me think the process of people settling down in Sinnoh had something to do with it.
@@joeyfrost5248 Yup. And England continues to lose land in a lot of areas. Tom Scott has a good video on it, called "Why No-One Will Save Covehithe, The Village That Will Soon Crumble Into The Sea"
If anyone was hesitant on Legends Arceus before, they should be all in now with the new info. The gameplay looks fun, the new forms/evos are amazing (they made Basculin cool and Braviary even cooler while making Stantler stronger and cooler.) and the world is just so dang beautiful
Yeah, not at all chief. Still not even slightly sold. The new mons are dope as hell but the game still looks boring. What's there to do other than catch/battle pokemon? Our only goals currently are the research tasks and compete the dex. So we got an open world and repetitive goal, not a good combo atm. And if there really is no trainer battles...? What's the point in building a dedicated team if all the battles are just against wild mons? Sorry, chief, but the info still shows me something boring and repetitive. Maybe later info will prove me wrong. Maybe not. As it stands, I'm only hyped for the remakes. The new mons I can just get from other sources eventually, I ain't paying 60 just for em. Not even remotely interested in Legends atm.
@@OriginalGameteer In my case the remakes looks better in this trailer indeed but that's like 90% nostalgia and i think I still going to pass in buying them. Meanwhile Legends Arceus yes you are right in what you said. but the game is pretty much like Pokemon Snap it isn't supposed to be taken serious like you said, I really hate the competitive part in Pokemon, I have spend a LOT of time making teams in the past since Pokemon XY just to use them like 3 times, so yeah if this game is just a relax open world with fun mechanism I'm sold, I want that. As I said, it is a Pokemon Snap but different. Call it Casual if you want.
@@OriginalGameteer Boring and repetitive bro we legit play the same game every year there all the same so Thts that’s a dumb argument Pokémon is so much more then battling even with that point going around and creating the first Pokédex observing Pokémon in the wild watching them learning from them in a way we never honestly experience I’ve played all the pokemon games and honestly they were getting old Me personally that diamond and pearl wasn’t good beside that what is there do explore a world you have never seen before in a way we have never seen before this is the start to whole new area of Pokémon
@@GodoMatrix I largely disagree. Given Legends still has the mainline mechanics of catching and battling from the main games. It still anchors itself in that mainline style amidst it's drastic diffences. New Snap... literally couldn't be a more different formula/playstyle. They really can't be put under the same banner. Also iirc Legends isn't even considered a spinoff so...
@@ronnellpugh7240 yeah I disagree entirely. It's the building of a new team, the challenging of tough trainers, that keeps me coming back. That's the thrill that gives me enjoyment from the mainline games, even if some entries are... clearly flawed. And it's that very omission that leaves me with such disinterest. Yes the games are relatively similar, but if that fact would be to push me away... then I wouldn't have gone and 100%ed as many 3d Mario's or mario parties as I could, games rather similar in style with differences each time. Catching pokemon... is something I couldn't care less about. It brings no thrill, no stragety ultimately. Unless I'm looking for something, catching is a waste of my time. If Legends truly offers little other than an extreme focus on catching and dex...it will pique my interest. I truly hope my expectations are proved wrong by the final release. I know full well my stance is likely in thr minority, but nothing my waver my stance until the game proves my fears wrong.
I'm moderately excited. I expect my expectations to be met given the information presented and track record of the company. And moves made from the last game. So nothing should be overly surprising or disappointing. Nor is my perspective over hyped, I'd like to think. This title should better recived than the last game since that bandaid has been ripped off.
"Halcyon" can also mean kingfisher, which means one of four things, Japanese and English coincidentally have the same synonym, there is some cultural significance tying kingfishers to the idea of Halcyon that crosses both cultures, the game Devs knew the Greek connection of the world "Halcyon" and it's a purposeful allusion similar to Cyrus, or the translation only ment the bird Halcyon and not the concept of halcyon. Either way, now I'm feeling for a ghost type eeveelution called Halseon.
“Jade: the Gem Supreme. The protector of all Generations…” Hmm 🤔, does that include previous and future Generations? I hope that we get Journey Versions of the other regions.
This is only the beginning. There are some many different regions and time periods they can visit now. Eventually they would have too many regions, but now they are revisiting regions in different time periods so they can show original forms of different pokemon and more fossil pokemon that aren't fossils yet in certain time periods. The possibilities nare endless now. This is one small step for man and one giant leap for Pokemon.
I wonder if Basculin will have a split evolution because you’d think they’d show red and blue Basculegion but the only show red Also Arceus has green rocks on his ring, maybe Jade?
Jade being important makes a lot of sense when you tie it in with BirdKeeperToby's theory on why red eyes are a thing in the game. Arceus' true eye colour is JADE, but in the trailers? It glows red.
That makes me realize that Amphibia's gems of calamity have basically the same trio of things as the sprite trio. Mesprit=Anne=Emotion Azelf=Sasha=Willpower Uxie=Marcy=Wisdom
just realized, for the anime one of Four things are probably going to happen, either 1. they will have another time travel movie set in sinnoh. 2. they will have a single time travel episode. 3. they will have a miniseries. or 4. They will actually have a Season or several episodes where Ash is stuck in the past. I hope they actually do have a season where ash is in the past because that could be extremely interesting and creative.
What also fits is that the gems on normal Arceus' fence thing on it are green. Like the jade. But also change in color depending on the type and there are multiple colors of jade
Fun Fact: In spanish, Cyrus is called Helio, which despite being the direct translate from Helium, it pulls obviously from Helios the sun titan from greek mythology
Great video! To go further on the jade theory: you mentioned that jade would be worn around people's necks as a symbolism of god. Arceus has little gem like things on it's ring surrounding the body. Those could be jade and then the different forms of Arceus are different types of the jade too.
I just realized that Arceus literally has Jade orbs in its fence 😯…. Also is there any reason why in Gen 4 in HGSS in order to catch Rayquaza you need the Jade Orb? Does it have any meaning other than the fact it’s green?
4:07 a friend of mine searched it up last week, and apparently some people say the 3 states of matter is why water type. But I like your explanation better
I love how Sinnoh introduced awesome new evolutions for old Pokémon with great designs back then, and its doing the same for Basculin and Stantler. Here’s hoping theres more like Furret and Absol. Really hyped for Wyrdeer, hope he has around 530 base stat points.
In the mobile version of the official legends arceus page, in the catch section, there is a little part above battle other Pokémon, that is an animatic, and in it there seems to be a hisuian rhyhorn
@@PokeFan17000 in the pokedex for Shinx it says there are 2 forms, so it’s likely you have alternative forms for some Pokémon maybe? I mean we did see a blue Rhyhorn in the first trailer
While I'm here, theirs a free manaphy egg for the Sinnoh remakes while this game gets just a kimono set when it releases... Also I'm probably wrong but theirs a small chance we'll get the togepi egg from platinum considering we see Togekiss in the trailer and Togepi appears in the overview section of the pokemon present, specifically the one for the pokeball stickers thing
@@littlebitsofterror5788 Yeah, says so on the website, you have to unlock the Internet with two hours of gameplay and I probably misspelled the term but you'll understand when you look on the website
I'm very interested to see how the new Pokemon are going to be integrated into future games. Normally "new" Pokemon that are introduced in games outside of the main series only show up in the spinoff titles, like Shadow Mewtwo, Shadow Lugia, and Primal Dialga. Or is Legends: Arceus being considered a main series title?
Also those pokemon are different forms of already existing pokemon, while wrydeer and basculegion are new pokemon, also hisuian forms are regional forms anyways
The beautiful thing about Legends Arceus is that it’s the first main line spin off just like how Diamond and Pearl were the first jumps into 3D (albeit just trees). The start of a new generation of Pokémon essentially. It all starts with Sinnoh, just like arceus. Damn that’s cool.
The weather trio and creation trio was all one could think about as both are Pokémon said to bring forth the beginning and end. Also the fact the jade orb once belong to a green creature called Rayquaza who brings peace during a time of chaos. The creation trio maintains the order within the universe although their abilities are vague as time and space are intangible concepts.
Fun fact Commander Kamado is officially confirmed to be an ancestor of Professor Rowan, with other characters hinted at being ancestors of characters from past games or at lest those that appeared in Diamond and Pearl
We need a 7 minutes video, to makes people realize, who still not get it, that the name of the region is different cause in game was called like that years and years ago ^^;
Man, I feel like nobody talks about Pokemon Conquest. It has a great storyline, music, and characters, especially for a spinoff, and I wish it would get more love. Can’t wait to see your video on it! Love the content :)
Or, just hear me out, “Hisui” is nothing more then a simplified version of the word “History”. After all we’re literally becoming part of Sinnoh’s history.
@Dante's Wildlife honestly thought the same thing, I was half-expecting it to be at least a tiny mention in the vid but all the other points are interesting and fitting for the region name too
I am SURE that the starters arengoing to have new final evolved forms because in the background when the presenter spoke we can see plushes of the Sinnoh starters and their final forms, but we only see Cyndaquil, Rowlet and Oshawott, not their evolutions
Problem is they are brought in from other evolutions, they don't live in the wild in the region. So it makes no sense for them to get new evolutions, because the professor brought them with him from other regions.
How you released this so fast after discovering the name of the region is mind blowing but also out of all the video’s related to the new trailer reveal your video was the most fun and exciting ! They’re always so awesome to look forward too!
Pokemon:Hisui word is based on the colour jade and KINGFISHER and this time in the pokeverse is very good and happy Also Pokemon: There shall bee no KINGFISHER based pokemon so far
Since the new game is in the past, the Pokémon anime will probably have an antagonist want to go back in time, but warping space in the process, beacuse of the sinnoh remakes. It would also give a reason for Ash to have an another journey. Maby he wanted to finally keep the promise of visiting his friends again, or Prof.Oak send him off to colect data from other professors about freshly found new Pokémon fossils and Ash would have another fossil Pokémon, and after he got it, the anime would continue with Mega-Aerodactyls pokedex entry wich says that its Mega form might be what it actually looked like in the past.
Arceus also has green gem like orbs on it’s cross wheel thing, and they come in different colours in it’s different forms like can be found in jade, plus its the wheel cross kind of looks like circles of radiance, and arceus even broke off part of itself (the plates) like amaterasu did with her jade necklace
Good on Lockstin for acknowledging the problematic stuff from the time period the game is based on! also I love how deep he went into the name, quite fun to watch!
Theory; When a Red Stripe and Blue Stripe Basculegion fight and slay eachother, the remaining souls mingle to form a spiritomb. This is why spiritomb is purple.
@@nickdentoom1173 One, that many dead, vicious Basculin would be enough to condone dark and Water is gone because they have lost their identity as Basculin.
This is the Pokemon game that allows you to marry Pokemon. When I was a kid I found a Maggie Tama buried in the dirt and I live in Florida always have no idea what it was doing there it was a very old one too. Also found a finger spiked thing with the symbolable mega on it buried in the dirt and that old house I used to live at was weird. There's also like a whole car buried in the ground too so that was weird.
The sad thing is an explanation as to what happened to the 4 new Pokémon is extinction, the Japanese did cause the extinction of the Hokkaido/Ezo Wolf around this same time so it stands to reason similar things happened except not as dark likely caused by the destruction of habitats or over harvesting what causes these Pokémon to evolve like potentially evolution stones or ancient items, or the practice to get them to evolve was lost to time.
Hey remember the Jewel of life from that one Pokémon movie that ended up being really important in the games but eventually went nowhere maybe were exploring that do you know just a thought
It Makes a ton of sense. But There's a lot of kingfisher and Jade References During the naming of Hisui Like U explained. Imagine the thing on the Volcano / Mountain is a Jade Kingfisher Legendary. That'd be Extremely cool In my opinion. Maybe carrying a Jade teapot and Being a type of monk, and Giving pokemon Happiness when They meditate Near it. Or relaxing in a hot spring.
Fun Fact: Hisui has Hi 火 (Japanese for fire) and Sui 水(Japanese for water) in its name. It isn't known if that means anyhting though. Although the name of the region itself means Jade so therefore the weather trio will be in the game
Not related to the video directly: but I love that they took Basculin, a Pokémon they LITERALLY ADMITTED was Dex filler, and gave it a badass evolution to be one of the faces of their new game.

Good find, actually makes a lot of sense. The 4 jewels attached to the golden cross-wheel on Arceus's body are also Jade.
I did not see your comet sorry:)
The green face spots could be also be a refference to jade
Plus the Jewel of Life, too
The wheel also kinda looks like a sun

Do anyone here thinks that the starters will have a Hisui evolution or some ancient evolutionary form?? I think that'd be pretty cool
I had the same thought earlier
I didn't think of that, but it would be cool
It would be cool if they did because they would evolve in this new land instead of there natural regions.
I don’t think so, if the professor brought them over from their respective regions then they can’t have regional evos in Hisui.

Jade being important makes a lot of sense when you tie it in with BirdKeeperToby's theory on why red eyes are a thing in the game. Arceus' true eye colour is JADE, but in the trailers? It glows red.
That makes me realize that Amphibia's gems of calamity have basically the same trio of things as the sprite trio.
Mesprit=Anne=Emotion
Azelf=Sasha=Willpower
Uxie=Marcy=Wisdom
It can also be asociated with the triforce there being power,courage and wisdom
just realized, for the anime one of Four things are probably going to happen, either
1. they will have another time travel movie set in sinnoh.
2. they will have a single time travel episode.
3. they will have a miniseries.
or
4. They will actually have a Season or several episodes where Ash is stuck in the past.
I hope they actually do have a season where ash is in the past because that could be extremely interesting and creative.
I already assumed Hisui was Sinnoh before it was called Sinnoh
So? Literally everyone did
@@beepbeeplettuce5890 If people are questioning why it’s not called Sinnoh probably not
I always name my gardevoirs Hisui after a character from the manga Wish. So it's kind of cool to see a whole region named Hisui.
What also fits is that the gems on normal Arceus' fence thing on it are green. Like the jade.
But also change in color depending on the type and there are multiple colors of jade
Pokemon be like: Boy, are way too lucky this all accidentally lined up.
the creation trio + arceus is based on the shinto myths for the most part.
that's underestimating the amount of references they put in the game even in random pokémon
Fun Fact: In spanish, Cyrus is called Helio, which despite being the direct translate from Helium, it pulls obviously from Helios the sun titan from greek mythology
Love the Foo dog Growlithes and the lore of the pairs
Me too, I really hope Arcanine will look as amazing.
Great video! To go further on the jade theory: you mentioned that jade would be worn around people's necks as a symbolism of god. Arceus has little gem like things on it's ring surrounding the body. Those could be jade and then the different forms of Arceus are different types of the jade too.
I just realized that Arceus literally has Jade orbs in its fence 😯…. Also is there any reason why in Gen 4 in HGSS in order to catch Rayquaza you need the Jade Orb? Does it have any meaning other than the fact it’s green?
how did you make this video in like 6 hours
thats some dedication to pokemon
4:07 a friend of mine searched it up last week, and apparently some people say the 3 states of matter is why water type. But I like your explanation better
I love how Sinnoh introduced awesome new evolutions for old Pokémon with great designs back then, and its doing the same for Basculin and Stantler. Here’s hoping theres more like Furret and Absol. Really hyped for Wyrdeer, hope he has around 530 base stat points.
In the mobile version of the official legends arceus page, in the catch section, there is a little part above battle other Pokémon, that is an animatic, and in it there seems to be a hisuian rhyhorn
Wait- I thought Rhyhorn was shown off already as just the regular Rhyhorn? Especially since its seen on the box art for Legends: Arceus.
@@PokeFan17000 in the pokedex for Shinx it says there are 2 forms, so it’s likely you have alternative forms for some Pokémon maybe? I mean we did see a blue Rhyhorn in the first trailer
@@Anas-rx1he I thought of the same but its most likely its evolutions luxio and luxray
@@ccarbs9204 I’ve never seen a Pokédex describe evolutions as forms before, I mean it could be gender differences? Idk.
I’m trying to find what you saw on the official website but struggling to find it. Could you send a direct link, or describe it again?
"I'm glad the games look like games now" hit me in the gut with so much whiplash oml
While I'm here, theirs a free manaphy egg for the Sinnoh remakes while this game gets just a kimono set when it releases...
Also I'm probably wrong but theirs a small chance we'll get the togepi egg from platinum considering we see Togekiss in the trailer and Togepi appears in the overview section of the pokemon present, specifically the one for the pokeball stickers thing
Kimono set?
@@littlebitsofterror5788 Yeah, says so on the website, you have to unlock the Internet with two hours of gameplay and I probably misspelled the term but you'll understand when you look on the website
The second they said Mt Coronet I KNEW. I didn’t have 900 hours into Diamond to forget.
A new Lockstin video! ~squeals and runs in circles~
I'm very interested to see how the new Pokemon are going to be integrated into future games. Normally "new" Pokemon that are introduced in games outside of the main series only show up in the spinoff titles, like Shadow Mewtwo, Shadow Lugia, and Primal Dialga. Or is Legends: Arceus being considered a main series title?
Well, you could kinda say that let's go introduced melmetal into the main series abruptly
Well, legends arceus will have pokemon home compatibility, so we will probably be able to transfer hisuian forms and evolutions
@@poliorice3600 You know what. Touche
These are main series games
Also those pokemon are different forms of already existing pokemon, while wrydeer and basculegion are new pokemon, also hisuian forms are regional forms anyways
Stop giving me hope that this is a narrative rebirth for this game series I've loved for over 20 years. It's beginning to fit too well.
1:33 so am i the only one who realizes the galactic building has a galarian weezing esc thing on the roof?
The beautiful thing about Legends Arceus is that it’s the first main line spin off just like how Diamond and Pearl were the first jumps into 3D (albeit just trees). The start of a new generation of Pokémon essentially. It all starts with Sinnoh, just like arceus. Damn that’s cool.
The weather trio and creation trio was all one could think about as both are Pokémon said to bring forth the beginning and end. Also the fact the jade orb once belong to a green creature called Rayquaza who brings peace during a time of chaos. The creation trio maintains the order within the universe although their abilities are vague as time and space are intangible concepts.
I’m still waiting for those tofrug plushies I ordered from this guy to arrive.
Fun fact Commander Kamado is officially confirmed to be an ancestor of Professor Rowan, with other characters hinted at being ancestors of characters from past games or at lest those that appeared in Diamond and Pearl
I woke up from a random depression nap and saw your video… as usual… Lockstin saves me from a pit
That Gible in the snow must have been suffering greatly.
Because Sinnoh wasn't established at that point.....or at least that's my guess
New Pokemon game: releases footage
Lockstin: It's free real estate
That could explain why there’s jade statues in the underground of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl!
Basculin's ability "adaptability" will also make more sense now
Do you think that Basculegion can only be evolved from red-stripe basculin, or do you think there'll be a different form for blue-striped ones?
We need a 7 minutes video, to makes people realize, who still not get it, that the name of the region is different cause in game was called like that years and years ago ^^;
"It all comes together!"
Years later, and you reboot theory is looking more true.
Man, I feel like nobody talks about Pokemon Conquest. It has a great storyline, music, and characters, especially for a spinoff, and I wish it would get more love. Can’t wait to see your video on it! Love the content :)
Or, just hear me out, “Hisui” is nothing more then a simplified version of the word “History”. After all we’re literally becoming part of Sinnoh’s history.
Interesting
doesn't have to be mutually exclusive, y'know
combine that with the fact that the commander is named Komando
@Dante's Wildlife honestly thought the same thing, I was half-expecting it to be at least a tiny mention in the vid but all the other points are interesting and fitting for the region name too
@@LunaryonSunborn He is called Komado.
It's amazing how so much info and references can be dug up in so few hours!
Gotta love mirroring the footage so the algorithm doesn't flag Nintendo's own promotional material as copyright infringements.
You can also use Magatamas to summon a giant fire breathing turtle to protect your city from invading giant monsters.
I wasn't sure but when I saw how you aim to threw a pokeball I was sold
Coming into this late, but the meaning of Jade gives some more symbolism to Seaprism of another famous tale from Japan
I am SURE that the starters arengoing to have new final evolved forms because in the background when the presenter spoke we can see plushes of the Sinnoh starters and their final forms, but we only see Cyndaquil, Rowlet and Oshawott, not their evolutions
Problem is they are brought in from other evolutions, they don't live in the wild in the region. So it makes no sense for them to get new evolutions, because the professor brought them with him from other regions.
Congrats on 1 million Subs You deserve it and alot more
How you released this so fast after discovering the name of the region is mind blowing but also out of all the video’s related to the new trailer reveal your video was the most fun and exciting ! They’re always so awesome to look forward too!
Spear pillar, where Arceus created the world... As in... the point where Izanagi dipped his naginata/spear into the ocean to create Japan.
Gamefreak *does anything*
Lockstin " *IT'S ALL COMMING TOGETHER* "
"Jade Serpent guide you."
Pokemon:Hisui word is based on the colour jade and KINGFISHER and this time in the pokeverse is very good and happy
Also Pokemon: There shall bee no KINGFISHER based pokemon so far
Since the new game is in the past, the Pokémon anime will probably have an antagonist want to go back in time, but warping space in the process, beacuse of the sinnoh remakes. It would also give a reason for Ash to have an another journey. Maby he wanted to finally keep the promise of visiting his friends again, or Prof.Oak send him off to colect data from other professors about freshly found new Pokémon fossils and Ash would have another fossil Pokémon, and after he got it, the anime would continue with Mega-Aerodactyls pokedex entry wich says that its Mega form might be what it actually looked like in the past.
Arceus also has green gem like orbs on it’s cross wheel thing, and they come in different colours in it’s different forms like can be found in jade, plus its the wheel cross kind of looks like circles of radiance, and arceus even broke off part of itself (the plates) like amaterasu did with her jade necklace
Very much looking forward for this pokemon conquest video!!! And thanks for this one!
Guessing next video is gonna talk about the two hisuian evolutions and the two hisuian forms of braviary and growlithe
I would love it at the end of the game we learn how the Hisui region got the name Sinnoh
Arceus even has jades on its gate, so that's pretty pog
See those Green stones embedded to Arceus's Fence gate or something? That's probably jade.
Diamond, Pearl... Jade, makes sense to me
Fun fact: I said hisiwi to siri and voice recognition activated. So basically, you can say the name kf olden day sinnoh and you end up with siri
Good on Lockstin for acknowledging the problematic stuff from the time period the game is based on! also I love how deep he went into the name, quite fun to watch!
I also just noticed that those green stones on Arceus' rings are jade.
1:27 a happy gibble in snow
Lockstin : why called hisui
Me: why not
*I love how they gave Stantler and Basculin, Pokémon people weren’t really interested in, new stuff to make them actually more interesting.*
I feel like the only one who loves Stantler.
Crystal was my first game, so I'm attracted to all Johto-mons.
Theory; When a Red Stripe and Blue Stripe Basculegion fight and slay eachother, the remaining souls mingle to form a spiritomb. This is why spiritomb is purple.
Then how come Spiritomb is Dark/Ghost and not Water/Ghost.
@@nickdentoom1173 One, that many dead, vicious Basculin would be enough to condone dark and Water is gone because they have lost their identity as Basculin.
@@nickdentoom1173 the combination of heavy pushing of dark and lack of water identity pushes the type to be dark ghost.
Ive always wanted a pokemon game that takes place in the past and im glad they are finally making it
This is the Pokemon game that allows you to marry Pokemon.
When I was a kid I found a Maggie Tama buried in the dirt and I live in Florida always have no idea what it was doing there it was a very old one too.
Also found a finger spiked thing with the symbolable mega on it buried in the dirt and that old house I used to live at was weird.
There's also like a whole car buried in the ground too so that was weird.
Nothing better than taking a Pokédex filler like Basculin and giving it an Evolution as well as a name referencing a multiple entity biblical demon.
Yes!!!!! I want that warlords explained video. Love pokemon conquest
The sad thing is an explanation as to what happened to the 4 new Pokémon is extinction, the Japanese did cause the extinction of the Hokkaido/Ezo Wolf around this same time so it stands to reason similar things happened except not as dark likely caused by the destruction of habitats or over harvesting what causes these Pokémon to evolve like potentially evolution stones or ancient items, or the practice to get them to evolve was lost to time.
Hey remember the Jewel of life from that one Pokémon movie that ended up being really important in the games but eventually went nowhere maybe were exploring that do you know just a thought
It Makes a ton of sense. But There's a lot of kingfisher and Jade References During the naming of Hisui Like U explained. Imagine the thing on the Volcano / Mountain is a Jade Kingfisher Legendary. That'd be Extremely cool In my opinion. Maybe carrying a Jade teapot and Being a type of monk, and Giving pokemon Happiness when They meditate Near it. Or relaxing in a hot spring.
There's a Hisuian Rhydon in the files.
So basically we're gonna be getting a jade kingfisher pokemon that works with arceus.
Also to note Hisui sounds close to history, this game being a historical origin for Sinnoh
Creators be looking at this like: "Right... Totally intended in all these 👀.. *whispers to each other* Quick, put these into the lore."
Fun Fact: Hisui has Hi 火 (Japanese for fire) and Sui 水(Japanese for water) in its name. It isn't known if that means anyhting though.
Although the name of the region itself means Jade
so therefore the weather trio will be in the game
"ALL OF THE WARLORDS IN POKEMON CONQUEST" YES YES YES!!! LEGENDS ARCEUS IS BRINGING THE CONQUEST RENISSANCE!!!
Miroku's and Sango's son from the InuYasha's sequel Yashahime is named Hisui. That's why... Yep.
