If all 50 US states were to have a single Pokemon, here’s the one best suited to inhabit there. Let me know what Pokemon best represents where you live in the comments!
Considering Wisconsin has some of the coldest winters around I thought we'd get an Ice Type. Instead, we got the opposite because of a freak forest fire.
Minnesota also had a good claim for Lapras, given that we are the land of 10,000 lakes. The Water/Ice type is also perfect. But another good reason is the shiny color: purple. Purple is one of the state’s unofficial colors, as our football team wears it, and Prince, who sung “PURPLE Rain”, was from here.
Tennessee is definitely not a muk! A lot of singers try to get their start in Nashville and is home to the legendary Dolly Parton. If anything Tennessee should be a Jigglypuff
Even more reasoning for the Staryu fit for Texas: - They are water type known to inhabit coastlines or seas close to the coast, and Texas is a coastline state (the Gulf of Mexico to be more specific); and - They are said to have originated from outer space (which is especially true for their evolved form), and Houston is famous for the Johnson Space Center.
Wouldn’t the state known for cats get Persian instead of Mew? Although Nevada could get Meowth for the gambling in Vegas and Meowth’s Payday attack. Also, I think Hawaii should get Exeggutor. Lastly, can you list which Gen 1 families didn’t get assigned?
7:03 They also have the Mine of Lost Souls dark ride in Canobie Lake Park which is a story about how two boys from Salem, New Hampshire died after entering a mine.
Missourian here, we are in the middle of one of the highest lead consecrations in the world. Were also home to Monsanto and we have raido active sand that was dumped here. So I feel like Muk is a better fit.
Michigan touches more than 3 Great Lakes, the Upper Peninsula is all up on Lake Superior. Although hydrologically Huron and Michigan are one lake ,almost everyone counts them as 2 distinct lakes, if only out of convenience and tradition. Lapras is a decent choice for Michigan to be sure though.
I think zapdos could have been given to one of the states with a high myth of the "thunder bird" since that is literally what the pokedex calles it for the most part
1:11 wow I've lived in the Bay area my whole life. Wine country specifically so that would be the North Bay. And I've never heard of a city just simply called Bay area😂
@@gabefranklin-s2vis that so? I'd like a list of every Sonic game, and whether or not they're bad. When it turns out less than 50% are bad, I'll accept your admission of incorrectness.
@DannysDome how is Mew not Gen 1? It exists in the files of the game, even if it required an event to unlock. Even then, you can encounter it via glitch.
Why in the world would you make the official Pokémon of Pennsylvania hitmochan because of a random freaking movie that just takes place in it I would have chosen weepinbell because… the liberty bell like duh
Does your switch dock make it possible to watch TH-cam with it? If not, why the hell would you promote it, when any cheap as temu or whatever china dock for 5 bucks or less does EVERYTHING you need the dock to do aside from allowing TH-cam to work?
as a resident of South Dakota; We have a national park? It's a wind cave? nothing about derange Governers? Corruption in the medical field? High incest among minority populations? One time had a political message that said 'Meth, we are on it!' We do host one of the largest Biker Rallys that is Sturges, so that's a positive! South Dakota is a total shit show in the worse way possible xD
Now, do this eight more times, one per generation. Oh, and if Alola-Paldea is too hard, you ARE allowed to use Regional variants.
Fun fact Weezing at one point had the name LA
And Koffing was named NY
What’s Cheauking gonna be named, CA?
Actually Hitmonlee looks like the Hamburglar turned into a mcnugget. You can’t unsee it lol

...Was Jigglypuff too obvious for Tennessee?
Huh?
Yeah, I'd rather have her than Muk 💀. At least Puff is in Smash
As a Marylander, I’m glad that you assigned Kingler to my state, we’re very well known for our crabs after all ^^
"They probably share certain parts like any true Alabaman"
*SHOTS FIRED!!*
Tennessee is definitely not a muk! A lot of singers try to get their start in Nashville and is home to the legendary Dolly Parton. If anything Tennessee should be a Jigglypuff
Someone else suggested this after uploading this video and yeah, I agree entirely, just did not think of that lol
As a Missourian, I can confirm that we have a lot of things, just only in the cities
Even more reasoning for the Staryu fit for Texas:
- They are water type known to inhabit coastlines or seas close to the coast, and Texas is a coastline state (the Gulf of Mexico to be more specific); and
- They are said to have originated from outer space (which is especially true for their evolved form), and Houston is famous for the Johnson Space Center.
Fun fact: i like to drink rotten smoothies
Ew
@@nolanclarke8589 you don’t get the joke do you?
@@howdoistopchangingmyname if it's what I think it is, why was a reference to that needed?
@@BucketKirbo uhh… skibidi gyatt rizz, and yes it might be what you think it is
Would be very cool if you saw a different pokemon when traveling from state to state (I’m biased and happy I got Virginia)
Expecting: Wisconsin's is Tauros because it's the Dairy state and known for cattle.
Reality: Wisconisn = Forest fires = Charizard.
Woohoo Ride like the wind Rapidash! Btw for gen 3 ky has to have savleye
Bet I'll find a ton of Victreebell in my home state! 😂
Minnesota and Utah have updated their flags.
2:01 Diglet is technically the first Pokémon because it was drawn by one of the game developers when they were a kid

Kansas could be Bouffalant (I hope i have it written Right.)
4:15 Seel and Muk also only have one syllable.
And also meowth
@elijahfrantz1833 me personally I think it's me-owth
But you may be right I'm stupid so it's entirely true
@@BucketKirbo You're technically correct. Meowth is two. Though it's often said in a way that condenses it to one. Sort of like the word "orange."
Vermont should have Meowth!
I think zapdos could have been given to one of the states with a high myth of the "thunder bird" since that is literally what the pokedex calles it for the most part
So glad both Mew and Mewtwo have a spot
I actually thought Pikachu would be a good choice for Ohio because Tomas Edison is from Milan, OH and invented the lightbulb
Can you turn this into a series
1:11 wow I've lived in the Bay area my whole life. Wine country specifically so that would be the North Bay. And I've never heard of a city just simply called Bay area😂
I swore Utah was going to be Beedrill (Beehive state). I’ll gladly take Mewtwo
This sounds like something MandJTV would do 😂
Lockstien actually did it first a few months ago! 😂
A special request:
Can you rank every Sonic games from worthless to elite since they are few bad Sonic game(Sonic forces)?
A few bad sonic games ‘,:/ half of theme are awful I hope you know
@@gabefranklin-s2vis that so? I'd like a list of every Sonic game, and whether or not they're bad. When it turns out less than 50% are bad, I'll accept your admission of incorrectness.
Well I guess you’re never getting that “admission of incorrectness.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bahahaha West Virginian here. We be fighting with Mississippi on the fat stat 😂 it changes a lot who is fatter
Damn I was interested until it was just Gen 1
Same, I realize it would have been a pretty big task, but making it Gen 1 only feels way too limiting.
Michigan touches 4 of the great lakes
Eevee should be Ohio mascot because it’s version of evolutions represents the versions of many Ohio jokes
Just gen 1?? Please do this again with all gens to pick.
@0:53 Funny enough in Pokémon GO Farfetch'D is actually Japans regional! 🥬
@2:24 "Hawaii. Venusaur."
Comfy: "am I a joke to you?"
He said Gen I Pokemon only.
@@northstarpokeshipper2148 ah. Ok. Didn't notice that part.
How useless koopas are in mainline Mario and Mario bros arcade
retcon hitmonlee from being invariable male to 87.5% male so I can name a female hitmonlee elastigirl
Haha ohio is great, i appreciate the pick 😂
5:23 awe, used our old lesser flag :(((
For the love of God, Mew is NOT Gen1, Gen 1 has only 150 pokemons! Fun video tho!
Mew isn’t gen 1? Then swap him for meowth!
@DannysDome how is Mew not Gen 1? It exists in the files of the game, even if it required an event to unlock. Even then, you can encounter it via glitch.
Tell me what gen is mew on I thought you was in Gen 1 I thought it was 151
timestamp for Hawaii?
@2:24
Thanks

States in USA what a surprise
It's kind of hard to argue against your choice is for Pokemon to represent each state.
Meh
