The crest connection to real life animals is super cool :O Also cool that you have some insight on proper combat, maybe you can show that off if you find a particularly interesting Fighting Pokemon to make an ecology video on?
I binged your whole channel over the weekend. I absolutely love the work you're doing, this is such a fun (and informative) look at the series. I'm super excited to see your future projects, and I hope your channel continues to grow! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Aaahhhhh this video makes me want to see a pokemon show with no people and just pokemon doing their thing in the wild taking as much in game data into account with what pokemon show up where and how matchups go in the wild like yeah steel is strong against rock but an ambush is an ambush and we see how effective catching prey off guard in the real world works so a drednaw makes perfect sense to crunch on pawniard i wish i could animate ;(
The Pokédex explains this *When Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, its brain cells undergo a structural transformation. It is said that this transformation is to blame for this Pokémon's wildly violent nature.* - Pokémon Ruby
I'm surprised you didn't bring up the similarities between Pawniard/Bisharp and Ralt/Gallade. They have the domed head and a spike protruding from it. They must be related somehow. Wouldn't be surprised if Ceruledge and Armarouge were somewhere in that family as well.
@Pokemon Ecology I've actually made a bunch of cladograms myself. I've done the mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, molluscs, arachnids, and fungi so far. The plant, fish, and insect ones are so massive that I've saved them for last. P.s. I think Bisharp, Gallade, etc. are actually insects because of the armour and "clothes" they have on their bodies. It's all just chitin
@@elmsigreen I am curious to see how you explain the ralts line's lack of bug typing and how they can still be related to the pawniard line despite that. A bigger concern for me is how you make the connection with armarouge and ceruledge, a common way to allow ghost pokemon to be ecologically possible is to treat them as microbial colonies, even with this alteration I see no possibility of relation between the lines. I have done fan work of a different sort, where I have defined a cosmology that explains all the disparate elements of the pokemon lore. It is slapped together with little evidence but the main lore is so undefined it should not matter.
@Gerald250 The typing of a Pokemon has nothing to do with their relation to another Pokemon. Just look at regional forms or even individual Pokemon that have different forms. A Pokemon's typing is just what type of magical abilities they are most closely associated with. The Ghost typing, for example, doesn't mean the Pokemon is dead. It just means that the Pokemon has some sort of ghostly powers. Otherwise, that would imply that Alolan Marowak, Hisuian Typhlosion, Skeledirge, and Decidueye all die upon evolving.
@@elmsigreenI never suggested that ghost type pokemon have to be dead, the fact that people think is very annoying to me, I think they should change it to 'spirit' type. Also I think my word choice may have confused you, 'ghost' pokemon not 'ghost type', like horse pokemon or crab pokemon. Barring all of that I was referring to a theory that I heard from the youtube channel 'geek ecology' but I assume exists elsewhere in the community. The theory posits that ghost pokemon are microbial colonies, the point of this theory is so that ecology does not have to factor in spirits. Ignoring typing then, have a look at what ceruledge and armarouge are. They do not wear armour, the armour generates them. They are ghost pokemon, either spirits of the dead or microbial colonies, thus preventing relation. I would like to hear if you have any further reasoning as to why you think the ralts line are insectoid In nature, the idea is intriguing. How does your theory that the ralts line are insectoid not contradict your idea of their relation to the armour duo and pawniard line. I am sorry it seems that I am trying to tear apart your ideas, I am genuinely curious as to how you reached your conclusions.

Hand-to-hand always interested me as well, so I definitely look forward to doing that some time in the future!

You remind me of Curious Archive and its cool to see Pokemon in a documentary format
Did you know that Pawniard's blades are retractable?
I did not! I thought I was thorough with my research, but clearly not enough.

Why did the algorithm doodle this video? 😞
The leaders crest item looks more like a Kingambit crest than a Bisharp crest.
It does look like a Kingambit crest over a Bisharp crest, but I could see it being either (plus it's obtained from Bisharps).
If I…err I mean Bisharp and its family get infected by TH-cam kids content farms, we riot.
You should do a video on Magikarp and gyarados I want to know why they are so aggressive I can't imagine anything eating a gyarados.

Thank you😅
Thank you king
Very interesting

I am *so* excited for the eventual creation of a phylogenetic tree, you have no idea.

U forgot kingambit
There's so little about him, it's hard to talk about! Plus, he doesn't even walk!
@@Pokecology fair enough
