  • Does Meltan mean the end of Pokemon? Well no, just a soft reboot, which Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Pokemon Let's Go Eevee are! Here is how Meltan fits in with the old "Pokemon THE END Reboot" theory. As well as how it relates to Ditto, Mew, Mewtwo and... Necrozma!? Also what is Metlan made out of? And what does it have to do with alchemy?

    3. I love it when you theorize the possibilities of pokemon and the deeper meaning of the games we love.

    As soon as i saw the Pokémon i thought of this: Electromagnetism.
    MELTan, so, it has molten metal in it. And that eye is clearly floating magnetically inside the nut. It happens that you can actually melt metal with an electric current. Which, also, would generate an inmense electromagnetic field. There it is. Electricity from the cable flows on the nut, melting Meltan's body and generating the electromagnetic field that allows him to move the eye.

    I'm pretty sure that because Meltan can't be obtained in any main-series gen 7 game, that makes it gen 8. In the past, future Pokémon would appear in spinoffs, so calling it gen 8 isn't a stretch.

      Meyoumu_Kanpaku I don't really consider the Let's Go gamed to be "main-series". I know Game Freak said they are in an interview, but I personally disagree with them. Besides, even if they are main-series, they're much closer to gen 1 mechanically than gen 7, with no held items or abilities, and only the original 151 + Meltan. I don't think they really count as proper "generation 7" games, so Meltan could easily be gen 8.

    • @user-so7nj3wn4g
      @user-so7nj3wn4g 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      and then theres the whole assest number thing that points to 7th gen.

    Here's my take on this: Meltan has been around for as long as Necrozma. It was forged from platinum deep underground by zygarde to balance out Necrozma. The meltan that we see, however, is not the same one that was forged from platinum by zygarde. This meltan was made by Giovanni to stop mewtwo, because of its ability to stop psychic pokemon. He did not forge this one from platinum, though. He formed this one out of tantalum because it is stronger against psychic energy, and it was easier to work with and obtain. He used the failed mew clones, ditto, as a catalyst for the new meltan.

    It could be like Manaphy which first appeared in the Gen 3 Ranger or Munchlax/Bonsly from XD who are Gen 4 Pokemon.
    The Let's Go games are spin-offs, so Meltan could be in there to tease Gen 8, and it could still be a Gen 8 Pokemon.

    The periodic table has never been my strong suit, I don't think I'd ever heard of Tantalum. However I just had a thought.
    Okay, so Meltan's tail, it definitely looks like an electric cord. It also looks like a Pikachu tail, which is an electric type. I highly doubt Meltan is going to have any counterparts in the Let's Go games at least. But going back to that connection of Necrozma, perhaps it can work in tandum with your canonically special starter, having a unique Pikachu/Eevee fusion form or something. I don't see it being particularly likely, but it'd be neat.

    The nut is probably made of brass, as many nuts are, because it has low friction against steel, making it easy to set on a screw. The color also checks out. As well as, being an alloy of copper and zinc, it's a great conductor, so the butt-cable works, too.

    • @ophigreen2096
      @ophigreen2096 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's just about the only way it could involve Tantalum, seeing as Tantalum has the third highest melting point, and is massively non reactive (as he said) which clashes with what we know about Meltan, speciically this part "Most of Meltan’s body is made from liquid metal, and its shape is very fluid. It can use its liquid arms and legs to corrode metal and absorb it into its own body.
      Meltan generates electricity using the metal it absorbs from outside sources. It uses this electricity as an energy source and also as an attack that can be fired from its eye."

      I think it's more likely that the eye is also some sort of liquid, based on how it can move and blink.
      Then again, you can use magnets to melt metal, usually you pass it rhough a copper coil, similar to the thread on a nut.

      Well we know that's what Type:null is, we know ditto may be a failed clone of mew what if, this is an imperfect amalgamation of both. What if this is an unknown in it's true pure form as lockstin stated in an earlier video arceus's "1000 arms" that created the universe, what if gen 8 DOES heavily relate to the creation myth in gen 4 and has everything to do with being a piece of "mew" and a piece of Arceus with other things to it than just that? If that's the kinda lore we get from it I'm down if not it's just kinda meh for a mythical pokemon but I'd be all for this being a fun missingno situation for go, but a bigger teaser for gen 8 and it's potential lore and bad guys we had Cyrus attempt to recreate the universe once, but he only attempted to destroy and recreate space and time in the 3rd dimension. He didn't think to basically attempt to pkay god in the sense of quitr shaping new life in a new dimension as we know it, and we've seen some of pokemon's multiversal sci-fi capabillity as much as the fantasy science magic aspects of the potential alchemy. Basically, what I'm saying is what if this is the first ever true fusion pokemon and it's a mythical because it's kind of the "jesus" of pokemon in a wierd round about way, basically the prophet who brings new life but like wierd a man made false one and maybe this thing is in a way just like the end times prophesizes in a way it draws from another form of mythology and it still supports this reset theory as the whole rapture buisness is the theme of rebirth. What if this is claimed to be ancient because oak has seen a similar ancient pokemon in unknown that litwrally keep the fabric of the dimension together this could actually work as a way for pokemon to end things or hard reset by using an antagonist who quite literally destroys the multiverse (or tries) and recreates it entirely new it gives them even MORE reason to have a situation like Rainbow Rocket. And maybe that is the antagonist of gen 8 the REAL antagonists (not like an endgame easter egg) but like legitimately stopping an antagonist like Cyrus who isn't just after power but recreation. You think about it every single villain there except Giovanni and Ghetsis wants to destroy and recreate the world and universe in some new manner Ghetsis and Giovanni Could probably get behind leading a new universe in the 4th dimension shaped as they please and maybe they work together to achieve it but it falls apart cause they can't agree and the thing goes haywire. It could be a pretty good finale piece or at least reason to reboot back to square one or start all over honestly. I doubt it on every level but one can dream.

      "Most of Meltan’s body is made from liquid metal, and its shape is very fluid. It can use its liquid arms and legs to corrode metal and absorb it into its own body.
      Meltan generates electricity using the metal it absorbs from outside sources. It uses this electricity as an energy source and also as an attack that can be fired from its eye."
      As he said, Tantalum is a platinum substitute because both are very non reactive, meaning it doesn't corrode things very often, nor absorb other metals.
      Mercury does both of those things though, so does Grey Goo (or would).
