So! Update about this series. Only a few types left to go! We're going to end the series with either Dragon or Fairy type, the other being the one just before last.
Currently we have Fire, Water, Ghost and Flying in the works, at various levels of completion. Then there's just Grass, Normal, Fairy and Dragon!
This series takes a lot of time and effort, more-so than any series we've done before. So your support is incredibly appreciated! Thanks so much for watching!
Lockstin & Gnoggin oh God how's your channel gonna keep up after this series is over
I see you too are a fan of golden sun
This is easily one of my favourite series on YT, along with BKT one on Pokemon evolution
Reuniclus is a water penny right?
Lockstin & Gnoggin pretty sure that cellebi isnn't fairy type
I read an interesting theory a while back that the reason Psychic-types are weak to Bug, Ghost and Dark-types is because those are three of the most common fears people have, and phobias are all in the mind.
You are one smart individual
The ability Rattled would confirm what you're thinking. Oddly there is no pure Psychic Pokémon with Rattled.
awakened_link huh. Neat.
Thats not new info sorry. Its actually the only way I can remember types. There are posts online about it. Please dont take credit for others ideas.
@@spicybeantofu dude they said they *read* about a theory. not that they created it. mmk
**Every flying type explained**
“Yeah, all of these can fly.”
**Thus ends the flying type**
*But vullaby can't fly*
Same with Archen and Rufflet.
Diglett....
Aharon Gordon baby birds can't fly immediately, maybe they learn once they evolve
Um gyarados?
Wobuffet is weak to Dark because Dark type is really the “Dirty Fighting” type, so it makes sense that tactics of dirty fighting would be strong against a punching bag.
? What are you talking about 🤨
@@rosebirb12 Also it can't be knocked out no matter how powerful the Fighting type is since its head would swing around
To be fair, if they wanted it to resist fighting, it would need to be Flying, Poison, Bug, Psychic, or Fairy (which didn’t exist at the time.)
Although I think a Bug type Wobbuffet could have worked if it was some sort of stationary bag worm hanging from a tree, the other choices would have probably been worse for their gimmick.
@@Lotloxa wait psychic didnt exist?
@@redmenace2997 Fairy didn't exist.
I'm pretty sure the Psychic typing of Gardevoir is because of their horns having the power to detect the emotions of their trainers. They're also supposed to act as Guardian Angels (sure that could be a fairy thing, but Angels are thought to have some Psychic abilities, I think)
Guardian angels also must look after you at all cause and biblically accurate angels have five wheels with lots of eyes and a large eye in those wheels. Maybe that's what it referencing. Psychic type is also like a spiritual type or holy type considering there are lots of dieties based pokemon so I have no idea why he didn't add Gardevoir line there.
Cosmic abilities*
Hey... what if the Alolan Riachu is Psychic, because it has mastered the art of surfing using levitation... or in this case, surfing using it's Brain waves ^^
Flame Slinger this is such an underrated comment!
ok
actually it has diabetes
The Ender Gaming lol
But actually it has diabetes lol
Kinda missed out on how the Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir line are all about psionic readers of emotions. You know, Empaths?
Also no mention of how Kirlia’s name is a reference to Kirlian photography
They can also be included in the lesser gods cause guardian angels
yES!! hi, empath here! can confirm that the gardevoir line is just cooler, better versions of the real thing :)))
Just about to comment this.
@@adelinaarmstrong9423 woah, what am I feeling right now.
The Ralts line are also empaths and very elvish, explaining the psychic and fairy typings.
3:11 the biggest missed opportunity in Gen 7: having the Oranguru Trainer Class
Yeah that would have been so funny
Imagine one of the "tittle defense" battles is just a oranguru that trains pokemon
Does that mean Wooden Plank Studio’s Incineroar is secretly an Oranguru
I would have been so confused and would be laughing so hard simultaneously.

.....can only remember four moves.
Jared Berlin oh thank you that was hilarious
@@octocoro aren't z-moves just normal moves powered by z - power
@Rafael Augusto how do you explain inferno overdrive the z move of alolan marowak it has nothing to have with a different move>:
Rafael Augusto yeah but the Z-Power is what makes them more powerful
Thus is why Psychic is the most powerful type.
People point out that alakazam can only know 4 moves despite having an iq of 10000.
I like to think that alakazam does actually remember every move he's ever learned, but only uses four because those are the rules and he won't let the trainer cheat
I mean... a creature with an intellect so impossible it's literally breaking the scale of IQ that only has a 200 max would most likely comprehend the concept of competition... And how it's not really a sport if you're just doing stuff like that.
I always had the understanding that Lugia was a Psychic type due to how the Moon itself controls the ocean currents. It made sense for Lugia to be connected to the Moon as it is the guardian of the sea and currents, since thats what we see the Moon as for us. If the moon were to be removed, the seas would go out of control. So thus Lugia being like the Moon makes it psychic type. Because Psychic = Space.
Some squid, and I believe cuttlefish use patterning of their skin and bodies to stun and hypnotize fish before striking them, so Malamar has another reason to be psychic
“This lineup could just literally be supercomputers!”

*Oh yeah, it’s big brain time*
Lol
In that one movie, Deoxys was STRONG! Remember how it created a Barrier to simply block Raquaza from doing ANY Action?! WOW!
Raqauza, Mewtu and Arceus are listed as the Top 3 Pokemon and the People argue who's the Strongest of them. Who is really the strongest Pokemon is a common discussion, but in this discussion, Deoxys is completly left out! People just forget about it!!
Sadly, we don't see enough Interaction between Legendaries, which is extremly unfortunate, but well, Deoxys Power Level still deserves a Video on this Channel!!
Those old computers were physically bigger, so obviously they were more powerful right? ;) then the Illuminati made it trendy to have slimmer computers as an excuse for us to get stuck with skinny weak computers while they hide the big boxy ones for themselves! Everyone knows that! That’s of course the real reason why my grandparents insist on still using Windows 95 cuz they know classified information! /s hahahah
@@MerkhVision Good comment - bad grammar! That's exactly the kind of situation 'Edit' was invented for! Just sayin'!
@@slevinchannel7589 arceus lore wise is literal GOD, competitive wise Rayquaza is above all else except maybe Zacian, being the only 2 anything goes pokemon, while Mewtwo is weaker than both.

Don't you just feel sorry for it now
OH IT DOES!
I THOUGHT IT DIDN'T HAVE RYES
So it's like an uwubat almost haha.
Wondering why you never mention the Greek Muses in relation to Meloetta. Her mystical music grants inspiration to artists and intellectuals.
Jirachi grants wishes with it's psychic powers, Victini affecting the outcomes of situations granting victory and sending energy/visions to others, Celebi bends time and space to it will, The Ralts line are empaths, Exeggutor is just another yokai like the others yokai-based psychic types, etc. There's any number of ways to justify their typings. :P
@@OrbitZombie Also, Gallade is a mind-reading fencer. Fencing, believe it or not, is as much of a mind game as it is a body game. You (at least try to) sense what the enemy is thinking, constantly use and counter techniques and tricks to outsmart your opponent.
Kirlia's name is based in Kirlian photography, which is used to see people's auras. Ralts is based in generic psychic powered kids
That and the entire Ralts line can read and detect emotions, as well as being able to manipulate the fabric of reality and read the future.
Gardeivor in particular is a big example of this and can control and create black holes with psychic power. Not only that: but is not only able to read emotions: but can form a deep psychic emotional connection with its trainer.
Gallade meanwhile, aside from the above, could be seen as a knight version of wire-fu kungfu type action heros due to its psychic fighting typing since wire-fu warriors make use of kung-fu and mental discapline bordering on psychic to accomplish extraordinary martial arts feats.
Ralts is ness paula and poo
Swear to god, i honestly thought you Said Krillin when i Read that at first
Lucas Iglesias PK FIRE
IS THAT AN EARTHBOUND REFERENCE
“Dream Powers of any sort is Psychic type”
Darkrai would like to know your location
Nightmares instead of dreams, I guess
Oof-
Gallade is an empath and can predict what it's opponent will do by sensing their feelings
Wait is slowking just really smart, or because of the toxins, really high
Toby Green the toxins and pain keep it grounded in the here and now. Otherwise, they’d be too busy experiencing the universe.

@@MaddTheSane so he drops acid... aka really high... and the toxins are like the stuff they give you to stop an overdose...
What if Slowking is just proof that those are the same things? 😅

In Soviet Alola, Pokemon train you
Psychic type was one of my favorite type since it was close to magic. I REALLY adored magic, so of course I would love the psychic type. And since fairy type is here, it has already been in one of my favorite types.
... Sorry, it ain't. Psi ain't Magic, it's the same archetype. Buf it's not Magic.
@@harrietr.5073 well it’s the most similar to a magic type in the magician/witch/wizard kind of way.
@@cadencek3576 That's like saying the Force is the closest Star Wars has to Psi, it's the same non-labelled category Magic, Psi or anything else as the meat and potatoes or means of a spell system. The same space where physical/melee and gun/ranged occupies, common in a lot of power systems, soft or hard. Not a lot of systems have a varied type of move or move types, so usually a Power has any Means/affinity as it wants like Physical or Magickal or Psi or Gun.
Pokèmon having Psi/mental as a type in a non-tiered type system always was weird for me at least.
Psi is a Power system very common to Sci-Fi, like with Magic to fantasy or reality-bending to fantastique, whether old or new weird.
Wouldn't Bronzor and Bronzong also be in the ancient category?
sort of
For Alolan Raichu, I think the pancakes were simply so amazing and divine that they weren't able to be fully sensed by the Raichu's sense of taste. Therefore, it willed itself into having greater senses and perception so that it could finally detect every last sensation the taste of the pancakes had to offer and, in the process, gained ESP.
More seriously, you could say that Wobbuffet is weak to Dark because they don't fight fair, and instead of punching the bag, they cut it open so all the sand falls out and it can't do a thing about it.
Ripping this straight from Bulbapedia, but... Wynaut and Wobbufett might be based on the concept of karma. Like... things coming back to bite you. And the concept of karma is mystical, so... that explains the psychic part?
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
Gnoggin: Cos-Me-Om
Lol ikr It bothered me
I think Wobbafett and wynaut are psychic type because of the mind Games you have to play on your opponent to actually make this pokemon viable.
i don't get it
And strangely enough, back in gen 2 or 3, if your pokémon was Dark or Ghost type it could bypass the mindgame. Dark being a special type that is immune to psychic (i.e. Mirror Coat) and Ghost being a physical type that is immune to fighting (i.e. Counter).
@@SkiGlovesie So Sableye was invincible to Wobbufett?
@@inkorporeal204 Pretty much, yeah. I mean, it can still encore you or catch you with destiny bond or reflect a will-o-wisp with magic coat.

I think with Wobufett and Wynaut, the answer is in their names. Specifically the latter. Why are these pokemon Psychic? Wynaut!
Yep, that's just the way it is.
The Nothing Man Wabufett "Whoa, you bet!" Or "Whoa, Boba Fett"
mdudegamer Really?
Wobbuffet's Japanese name translates to "that's the way it is." I was adding to the joke.
The Nothing Man A+ dude
Omg this music sounds from the game Golden Sun, brings so much memories back WOW
You: why isn't Wobbuffet a fighting type?
Me: 'That's the way it is!'
Wynaut? Thats how it is
Gothitelle: Sees your death does nothing to prevent it.
It cries. Does that count?
If it sees how you’re *going* to die, how can it be prevented. It sees the future, and the future _will_ happen, one way or another.
Its f a i t h/d e s t i n y or some s**t
@@geniusgamer3840 wise words
I actually have a theory on why Lugia isn’t water type. So as it states in Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire’s Pokédex: “Lugia's wings pack devastating power - a light fluttering of its wings can blow apart regular houses. As a result, this Pokémon chooses to live out of sight deep under the sea.” This can possibly mean that Lugia was not the guardian of the sea before, but rather Arceus created it to bring out storms with a Psychic power. However, since Lugia notices its psychic power to summon storms, and it’s wings, are too strong, it chooses to live under the sea, only then it’s given the name, the guardian of the sea. But yet, Lugia couldn’t, and never can, change its type.
Very interesting.
When I first saw wobbuffet back in the day it was first introduced, I thought it was a ghost type like some sort of goofy Casper ghost
I would argue that jirachi could fit in the space category as it's based partially of the wishing star concept
I believe The Gardevoir line has a GREAT reason to be Psychic type. The Pokedex says that Ralts can sense the emotion of people. Kirlia's pokedex says if it is exposed to the positive emotions of its trainer it grows beautiful. Meaning that these pokemon are Psychic Empaths. Gardevoir's dex entry goes on to say how it is stronger when protecting its trainer, which are more signs of empathy and also an evidence of a strong psychic connection. Not to mention that it can see the future. All of this points to the Gardevoir line being Clairvoyant. Gardevoir and Clairvoyant even sound similar. Gallade however doesn't true lore related reasons to its psychic typing, but being a wise fighter and not fairy-like at all could be why. Tell me what you guys think. Thank you.😀
While Ralts may be a Psychic Empath, the actual point of this video is if they are Psychic or have Psychic powers, rather it's more so is there an logical explanation or some kind of reasoning behind it's Psychic typing and if that actually makes any sense. For example, Delphox who's character design is clearly inspired by wizard/witches who in turn have mystical powers and can be explained or interpreted as psychic power. So it makes sense that Delphox is Psychic type.
So while Ralts may be super-empathic which is unarguably a psychic type power, but what doesn't make sense, is that there isn't any actual reasoning behind why it has that power to begin with. Ballet or Ballet dancers (which is one of the biggest influences for the Ralts line, excluding Gallade) aren't usually associated with or known for being psychic or having psychic powers in any way. So other than it's move-set or Pokedex entries, there's really no obvious tie (mythological, mystical, alien or otherwise) or reasoning to explain it's psychic typing
Hopefully, I was explain it properly and it clears things up!
Jirachi fits into the same group as Lunatone and Solrock as pokemon from space, its based on a star, similar to how they are based on the sun and the moon.
I feel like Palkia should have been mentioned in the video lol
especially a shooting star
Personally, I think the Gardevoir line fit as psychic types as they are very much Empaths, which is a trope you see from time to time where people can read your emotions psychically, and connect with them. Specifically emotions
I have a theory:
Persians gem is the same as Starmies
I feel like woobat and swoobat have perfectly fine reasoning for their typing, as he was fine with mespirit being psychic for emotion and love is an emotion
Not to mention the whole "love" thing could be a reference to soulmates, which I think would justify a psychic type
Finally someone who doesn't hate woobat or swoobat.
the picture of the anthro plane sent a wave of unexplainable, primal terror through me
I like how you used the aeon design from TMNT, they really do give off that "watcher of the cosmos" vibe
IS THAT A PIECE OF THE GOLDEN SUN SOUNDTRACK YOU'RE USING THERE AT AROUND 10MIN IN? 🥺
Great, now I wanna play it *again*
Gardevoir's psychic reasons would be having powerful empath abilities, and control over the emotions of others.
Gardevoir's also more likely has a spiritual origin or such. A sylph-like spirit or at least a protective entity, as it gives it's life to protect it's trainer when their life is at risk. Meaning it's typing is more based on mythology, fantasy, and spiritualism.
Great video though! I really enjoy this series!
Yami No Mizu So in other words it could go into the “should have been fairy” category,
No, it has a secondary fairy typing. Gardevoir's typing is perfect for it, physic/fairy, it has spritual/psychic powers, and it's a sylf-like creature. It could also be a guardian angel. And it being a protective spirit fits right into the psychic category with the whole spirits side of psychics.
Yami No Mizu oh right forgot about that. Haven’t battled or used one in forever.
Gardevior is Also base on Guardian Angels, because they are said to protect it's trainer.
John Paul ^,^ Yeah it is, I forgot to mention that in the main post.
you probably won't see this, but here i go anyway! psychic weaknesses are based off common fears, that's why wobbuffet is weak against dark types (fear of the dark), bug types (fear of bugs), and ghost types (fear of ghosts).
jester 12308 then fear of water , fire , earthquake , ice , of void (flying type) , etc why aren't they weaknesses than... it doesn't make sense
it's for _psychic_ types, not _all_ types
jester 12308 ok you didn't understand me if the weaknesses of the type psy are fear then why aren't the type i said in my previous coment weaknesses
i don't know, ask game freak
for bug i can think that it's the most common fear but i think ghost and dark can't be controlled by psychic power that's my opinion why they are weaknesses ( still learning english so it's a bit hard to make you understand what i mean sorry)
I think a good idea for Alolan Raichu's origin is that it wanted to surf, since surfing is big in Hawaii/Alola, but couldn't due to its typing (Electric and Water not going well together). So it developed a way to surf without the fear of the water.
An extra note on Inkay and malamar! Malamar's hypnotic powers are likely inspired by the cuttlefish, which approach fish they prey on and use their color changing ability to flash patterns of bright colors at them, seemingly paralyzing them before they're eaten! There's cool videos of it to check out.
I was about to comment that

Aren't Kirlia called the Emotion Pokemon? Powers over Emotion are a Psychic thing right? It would make Gardevoir like a Pokemon version of Raven
Do you mean DC Raven or obscure CBBC Raven? Is this a reference that won't make sense to anyone who isn't a Brit in their late teens?
Toa Arania I meant DC/Teen Titans Raven but your reference to CBBC has made my day.
"Let the challenge...begin!"
No one's ever got that reference before, I'm so happy
Toa Arania Well I am a Brit who was a kid in the early 2000s. CBBC was my life
Well, the Gardevoir line are also slightly based on the idea of a guardian angel, and angels are lesser-than-gods spirits. I actually expected them in that category for that reason.
29:17 - ...Except Wynaut had Splash, Charm, and Encore even when it was first *introduced* as well as Amnesia...
Gothittele fits more into the astral Pokemon. Being the “astral body Pokemon”
Why Wobbeffet's a Psychic type? Because Wynaut....
Wyudodis?
Cezary Dudkiewicz because Wynaut...
@@cezarydudkiewicz2990 Confirmed, Wobbuffet is getting an evolution called Wyudodis in Gen 8.
That's the way it is, really?
Puns. the best thing ever
Theory: Unown are a storage vessels for Arceus' limitless power, and through them it can maintain the balance of the universe and hold the fabric of reality together. This would make sense seeing as Arceus can slumber away because it assigned the Unown to make sure everything stays in order, where they are a fail-safe of sorts. This would explain how several Unown could create/summon an Entei to serve as a legendary guardian in the third movie (Pokémon: Spell Of The Unknown), serving as a means to protect them and ensure the Unown's job in maintaining the universe is not disrupted. This would also explain why the only move they know is hidden power, as this references the power of creation that Arceus possesses, which he hides within the Unown.
ok nevermind i just realized there's a video here which says the same thing
Nasser Abi Shakra still not a bad story
The background music playing the Golden Sun is strong in this video. You know, the game about physic adventurers that manipulate the elements...
I love it
15:32
"I am -sand- *sea* guardian, guardian of the -sand- *sea."*
Gardevoir and it's evolutions are said to be based on types of dance, emotions and angelic/astral beings.
I like to believe alolan Raichu has electromagnekinesis, the ability to control electromagnetic waves with the mind. it would explain how its Pokedex entry and it's special ability surge surfer.
also I believe jinx has cryokinesis, the ability to control ice with the mind. both I mentioned are similar to pyrokinesis.
A theory starmy is an inperfect deoxy because they both use crystal to think and both come from space
So, it can make radiowaves?
let me guess u just took some english words translated them to greek 1s \
and then just added kinisis
because acorning to the dex pikachu is smart, and he is based on surfing literary mining that mice are smart enought to learn how to surf
Wabbafet is psychic because it is based on something that brings good luck (like you said). Luck is often seen as supernatural. Supernatural is sometimes seen as magical and magic often seems to involve psycic abilities (Like in alakazam's case). Or at least, that's how I see it

Yep. Genderless. Based on game and not if it's male or female because it can't be.
Should mention they give birth to cosmog and lunala is more female like and solgaleo is masculine. Lmao.
Solgaleo and Lunala may be genderless in gameplay, but design elements point to them being gendered in some way. Solgaleo and Lunala do make Cosmog together, and in-game can watch it happen in the reverse world.
“This Pokémon is theorized to be a male evolution of Cosmog...” -Solgaleo Moon Dex Entry
“It is said to be a female evolution of Cosmog...” -Lunala Sun Dex Entry
While these entries are based on myth and legend, myths and legends have consistently been proven to be fact in the Pokémon world. Gameplay-wise they just omitted it for any reason.
Edit: Since Solgaleo/Lunala are evolutions of a genderless species, it could be the case where they left it genderless when it evolved due to changing sex during evolution has never officially happened. So whatever version you choose is the gender Cosmog prefers to be, so you could have both Solgaleo and Lunala under your Trainer name. :)
Bella Kumu The Sun/Moon Dex entries also say their genders. Plus, you can watch them make a Cosmog. :)
@@Senordisastermaster I'm aware of that.
Brandon Andres they evolve based on the time, right
Love the Golden Sun OST playing in the background for some of the segments!
24:45 I noticed that Exeggutor’s left head looks exactly like Saitama from One Punch Man
Wouldn't the Ralts line fit in the intelligence category? They are all highly attuned to human emotion, Kirlia is said to have a highly developed brain, and both Kirlia and Ralts can see the future. It sounds like even among the somewhat sapient Pokemon, they are even more... sentient?
I agree that Woobat and Swoobat are weird. But I'm wondering if their inspiration comes from how we often say that falling in love is fate. The twisted tail on Swoobat also looks like two ends of a rope or string, bringing to mind the phrase "tying the knot" for getting married. If it were more red and less pink, it would probably be more obvious as it could relate to the "red threat of fate" that connects lovers.
I think Wynaut and Wobbuffet's typing comes from how they fight by predicting an opponent's move and choosing the correct counter. Yeah it's a very weak reason, but a kind of 6th sense to see the future is still a pretty standard psychic ability.
The other "psychic type for the sake of typing" pokemon also largely had something including immense psychic powers in their description. But that video was about the inspirational source material, and whether or not that would justify the psychic typing. And a ballet-dancer really isn't that mystical or...well...supernatural or anything.
Overlord IV but in the video he said said he doesn't even see why they are psychic which didn't make sense origins are one thing but they clearly have psychic abilities
Again, he was looking at the source material (ballet-dancers) and tried to find ties to the psychic typing within that, like he did for i.e. hypno. If we went by descriptions, he already stated in the beginning of the video, that we'd basically only have a handful of useful categories to go by.
If you leave out the description of Gardevoir and take a look at their source material, you'll find nothing resembling a psychic or anything even remotely close to anything mystical really. Like he said, Gardevoir would be better off with the Fighting type as far as you could justify it via the source material.
And I'm pretty sure the description states that Gardevoir has psychic powers, because there has to be an ingame reason for these Pokémon to be psychic-type...for most pokémon at least. If you pay close attention to the descriptions, most mention something about at least latent psychic abilities, which again, would make the groupings really, really pointless.
Also the main point of the video is WHY these Pokemon are psychic, not WHAT makes this Pokemon a psychic type.
I think it's also important to mention that not only would the Ralts line fit the intelligence category but Kirlia and Mesprit share the pokemon category of the "Emotion Pokemon". Emotions are more so associated with having a higher intellect.
Cosmeom can also be a reference to the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey
What if the giant carving on the ground was calculated to look the way they wanted? Like if they had a small example picture they used to copy to the ground? One block to another with an equal ratio to the example? Something like that.
I think I have a better reason as to why Girafarig might be part Psychic type. While it’s mostly based off of a giraffe, it also has a dash of stegosaurus (note the plates running across it’s back). It has been theorized that the stegosaurus has a second Brain in it’s tail to give it enhanced reflexes to defend itself against predators. Two brains->high mental capacity->Psychic powers.
Now that I think about it, if we ever do get a fossil Pokémon based off of the stegosaurus it should be part Psychic.
I don' t think thats something game freak purposefully did that, i'm pretty sure they just wanted to give it a more interesting design, thus plates
Also Giraffe Telekinesis. that made me laugh for like 5 minutes
The Human 2cs. No its true. They most likely based girafirigs second head on the stegosaurus second brain theory
Also giraffes were considered yokai’s.
Rock/Psychic fossil pokemon... I'll dig it.
Golden Sun music for the win
I had hoped that someone else noticed. Haha
I came for the pokemon, I stayed for the GS Music
Golden Sun. Psynergy. Makes since but now i really want another golden sun game.
Woohoo another golden sun fan
#BringBackGoldenSun
11:09 THAT FREAKING JUMPSCARED ME LOL
The alliteration at the start though
Can't celebi's manipulation of time.
Jirachi coming from SPACE
And Victini being able to manipulate emotions
Be a reason they are psychic?
Absolutely!
but maybe not just being 'from space'
Plus Jirachi has the cosmic third eye
victini creates good luck, not much of emotion manipulation
Jirachi can teleport things.
The Ralts/Gardevoir line is Empathetic, which has to do with being able to feel the emotions of others. Gardevoir is also able to control people’s minds.
Slowpoke: dumb
Slowbro: unlocked potential
Slowking: maximum performance
I thought Gardevoir also took inspiration from Knight-templars since its name in Japanese is sirknight. Considering some tropes includes the idea that knights have this strong connection to their gods, this could have simply been taken a step further and included much stronger magical capabilities, while keeping the "white knight" trope with its protective nature to their trainers. Also, roleplaying games like D&D do have a cult following in Japan so this could have been designed by someone who just liked D&D, but couldn't get the pokemon to be fighting or something like that.
Boomburst so gardevoir is a paladin from dnd. Does that mean an evil gardevoir loses their powers due to not following god’s alignment ( I assume arceus would be aligned good probably lawful good)
D&D pokemon and meth one hell of a nite
A Pagan knight being a psychic type makes a hell of a lot of sense, actually.
The Ralts line and the Woobat line are based on emotion, which is psychic because it's based on thoughts.
Girafarig is psychic because of it's tail possessing psychic abilities. "When it is in danger, its tail uses some sort of mysterious powers to drive away the enemy." - Pokemon Crystal
Bruxish is psychic because it's protuberance is used to emit psychic waves as a radar as well as to stun it's prey. (Also note that being psychic makes it good at hunting it's main food, Mareanie)
Also, Wobbuffet and Wynut are most likely psychic 'cause the tails are probably controlling the bodies? This one could be wrong, but the rest are the reasons they're psychic
it is tail
He's explaining origins and real world reasoning. Not what they use in-game
ZombeaverTM, -_-
Brandon B yes,YES!!THANK YOU!!
You said Wynut.
My favorite poké

For Girafarig, rhere might also be the fact that the Japanese word for giraffe, "kirin", is in reference to a legendary being said to be more powerful than even a dragon. In mythology, it's often treated as an "Asian unicorn" but isn't really very similar beyond having horns (usually more than 1, anyway). Given that mythical kirin are said to have been highly intelligent and magical, psychic works just fine.
I just realized that the dark-type symbol is inside the psychic-type symbol even though dark is super effective against psychic.
Seems more of a design coincidence than anything. The pupil in Psychic type is curved differently and is at an angle, because it was a minimalist way to hint at the eye being a real eye (since eyes are naturally shiny).
I live in Oahu and when you pronounced the state fish right I was literally like “YES! YES!! YEEEESS!”
“Using thier psychic power to hold our universe together”
*AND THEN THERES TAPU LELE*
25:48 got me dying LOL
Victini can manipulate chance/luck (its victory star ability) which seems like a psychic type thing to do. (Also that’d be a cool game mechanic if having a Victini boosted the luck of chance encounters or shinies or whatnot)
This Golden Sun Music in the Ancient Part*^*
Omg*^*
Someone who knows Golden Sun*^*
Yeah*^*
I'm happy again*^*
JustAnOrdinaryGuy OrSomethingElse so im not the only one that noticed that piece of nostalgia lol
I came to the comments just to see if anyone else noticed 😁 glad I wasn't the only one xx
Have been watching a lot of Gnoggin videos lately and Desert Heat (name of the song) plays in a lot of them... so I think he really like the games or at least this song... what is fine for me because Golden Sun and GS The Lost Age are the best RPG ever!!!!! (IMO) hehe
Also the song that plays when he starts to talk about Tapu Lele is from Golden Sun The Lost Age aswell, it's the Dehkan Plateau theme!
i came here too just to see if someone else notced it :D
I put my ear close to my speaker because I thought "Lamakan Desert? Is that you??"
Normally i am not a fan at all from this kinda vids, but you make them enjoyable and even learning me new things about pokémon, like Nidoqueen not being able to breed. Keep up the good work :)
Small black holes... That's terrifying, that's extremely terrifying
I think Girafarig is a Psychic-Type due to the concept of optical illusions.
Since it's name would stay the same when reversed (girafariG is Girafarig backwards for those who have not known about it yet) plus the fact that it follows the concept of mirrors.
Optical illusions are more of a mental thing, so Girafarig is more considered as Psychic since it is related to mental tricks and all.
This right here
It's also supposed to represent 'Push me, pull you'
I remember something about the 2 heads communicating with each other.
Pretty psychic-y, yeah?
it also has two heads
To add onto this video, I personally think Psychic-type Pokemon generally represent the psyche of humans. Why are Psychic-type Pokemon weak to Dark, Ghost, and Bug? Common human fears are fear of the dark or evils, ghosts or the incorporeal, and bugs.
This was confirmed to be a thing about a decade ago 😂👌
Will Buchanan oh nooo, pardon me for being late to the party 😒
I love the fact that you're using the king of fighters background
Meloetta May also be a reference to music therapy. It’s an entire field and is used for a significant number of mental therapies.
It's Cosm *O* em, not Cosm *E* om
Also, he pronounces "Meditite" incorrectly. It's "Med-i-tight" not "mudduddight."
Well arent you guys a couple of asshats. How dare he misprounce a couple of fictional monster names.
It's Levi-O-sa
Søren Kaas Not, LevioSAAAA.
Toa Arania [insert Markiplier Meme here]
Me: GameFreak can you tell me why woabuffet is psychic?
GF: Because _Wynaut_
If I have to guess it is because of perseverance,
which is a psychic state and it also fits in with those wobble heads as origin.
I need to get one of those.
I didn't know your girl friend was a Pokemon fan
Heard I believe Sol Sanctum music from Golden Sun at around 11:00. I like you a lot Lockstin. This only boosted that.
Adding Azelfs, Mesprits and Uxies reflection in the water was a nice touch
The opening was an obviously optimal opportunity to operate our ocular orifices by bringing bountiful amounts of similar sounding syllables on screen whilst wonderfully allowing amazing alliteration to travel from your tongue.
What an absolutely astounding application of the opportunity obtained by the opening moments you merrily mentioned to delightfully delve into a discussion, wouldn't you say?
