Notably In Shield it mentions in the pokedex that Braviary was originally the one doing the taxi service, but they had to much of a rebellious nature. So they then started to use Corviknight instead because it had a much milder nature in comparison.
True, as long as you don't disrespect or mistreat them. It takes much patience and attention to raise a Corviknight for Taxi Service, as one of the Taxi Drivers tells you in Motostoke City...
As a Brit, we do also have what we call "black cabs" which are a specific kind of taxi often higher quality but you can't book them you either go to a taxi bay or if you see one with its light on you can hail it and it'll pick you up
The back-mounted Blade Birds on Gigantamax Corviknight reminds me of Funnels and other remote weapons from the Gundam franchise. Namely Mobile Suits like the Qubeley.
Eyy, another _Gundam_ fan, nice! Though them being blades probably reminds me more of the 00 Qan[T] or AGE-FX, or maybe the Fin Fangs from 00, but I can definitely see the Qubeley comparison, you know?
@@KingsBard I think the animal on their crest is a badger. Anyway they’re kinda the more lighthearted, friendly, fun house. I don’t know the characters from Harry Potter that well, but the main character of Fantastic Beasts (the spinoff series that’s set back in time) is a Hufflepuff.
G-Max pokemon definitely took a lot of cool design elements from base forms that could have easily been a part of their actual designs. Alcremie being a cake topper and duraludon actually looking like a building so you know what it's even supposed to be come to mind.
@@orbic521 Yeah why didn’t they make Duraludon actually look like a building I never understood that it just looks like a lighter mixed with a cheese grater
Corvisquire isn't supposed to be a Steller's Jay or really any jay at all - it's a combination of a jackdaw and a Hooded Crow. Sure it has the blue color which I'm sure is supposed to resemble jays, but its main design inspiration is those two species. In fact, all the members of this line are based on British corvids - Rookidee is a tit (probably a combination of the Great Tit and Eurasian Blue Tit)*, Corvisquire is a jackdaw/Hooded Crow and Corviknight is a raven. *I know tits are Parids and not Corvids but they used to be considered the same family, so it counts.
@@jeffgoldblunt chickadees are a type of tit though. The original Japanese name more directly references the willow tit so it’s much more likely based on that species since they actually live in England, unlike chickadees which are from North America. Granted the two look very similar so the name still works
@@jeffgoldblunt You do know that a Chickadee is also a Tit. Right? Exactly what the og comment said. North American variants are called a Chickadee, whereas variants outside are called a Tit. They're basically in the same genus.
I did volunteer work at a small local zoo and they have a white-necked raven named Poe because of course she's named that. She has her person, and if you're not her person and you try to enter her enclosure, she will attack you and not leave you alone. Therefore, if you needed to enter her enclosure to give her fresh food and water, someone would have to come in with you to give her treats so she wouldn't attack either of you
To explain the HP bit at the beginning: hogwarts students are sorted into one of 4 houses based on their personality traits when they first arrive at hogwarts.

I love the corvid family of birds, while their reputation is ominous, they’re just so interesting and filled with so much character While i’m wary and will try my best to not upset any, i’d happily watch from afar
I wonder how many times Lockstin mixed up Tower & Chariot before he just said "screw it, I'll just correct them in edit via voice over". Did a really good job on that edit, btw, almost missed it the first time, but then there are benefits to having less variable facial changes during speech. Probably makes lipreading Lockstin a challenge, for better or worse, but certainly a benefit to edit in the correct words in when keeping them straight has been even more of a challenge. I didn't realize how appropriate chickedees are as Pokemon til this video, though, especially since they (like Pokemon) say their name repeatedly.
chickadees actually have 2distinct calls! One yes is their name, but the other sounds like they are saying "tea's ready", which is also pretty British sounding.
The blade birds of Gigantamax Corviknight could also be a nod to the fact that a knight (or king) can leads an army, and the blade birds could reference the soldiers of that army.
I know the priority is likely the pokemon right now but I'd love to see an explanation of Paldea and what each of its cities and the like are based on, like what you did for Sinnoh!
Speaking as a Canadian who frequently sees Chickadees on the tree outside his window, for the few times Rookidee appear in the anime there was missed opportunity for them to go "Rookidee dee dee dee". Cause that's essentially what Chickadees sound like.
Rooks were kept in rookeries which are stereotypically depicted as being at the top of towers, hence the connection to the rook chess piece. The Roc bird is also the English version of the original (Persian?) Rukh, which again links back to the chess piece.
I remember those tests. For the record, I actually read the book and saw the movies up to The Order of the Phoenix. My mom even got me one of those toy potion-making kits for Christmas one year. I actually used to get into trouble for reading the books even though I was clearly done with the assessment way ahead of time. For the record, due to my ADHD, I would often bring a book I was reading to keep my mind occupied just so I wouldn't bug any of my other classmates while they were working. Why my teachers took issue with that I have no idea. Also, I love Corvikinght and named the first one I caught Nevermore, because yes The Raven was the first thing to pop into my head when I saw it.
I honestly thought the Harry Potter reference would lead you to suggest the Knight Bus, which is something from Harry Potter being a form of magic taxi for wizards. It's inspired by how Knights would patrol to protect people and form as escorts here or there, so the Knight Bus from Harry Potter (which is an entirely British series) could be referenced by a Knight Pokemon being used like a taxi. Also, Ravenclaws are the knowledge focused house in Harry Potter. They are commonly seen as the nerds of HP and I'm also one.
I wanted to be one but it appears being a bit dark makes you a Slytherin, i hate Pottermore, i just choosed the moon and dark places man... I am excentric and creative...
@@thedragonwarrior5861 Well I mean pop culture influences the regions, although I kinda doubt they may have known about Harry Potter but if they did their research about very popular things from Britan, then having a HP reference would make sense
Notably in _Age of Mythology_ (a spin-off game in the _Age of Empires_ series), Rukhs/Rocs are flying myth units able to quickly transport many smaller units across the map in a visually similar manner to how Galar's sky taxi service works (riding in a thing gripped in the big bird's talons).
Or more accurately, just likes to seek knowledge- very fitting for the channel! After all, Hermionie was the smartest in her batch, but she wasn't Ravenclaw.
Personally I like to imagine that corviknight long ago were trained to capture prisoners in cages and fly off with them during the ancient wars in the Pokémon world, but nowadays whatever training it would go through to learn to do that, it now uses to serve as a taxi.
To understand what they’re based on, you have to first appreciate that this is Galar, so they’re probably more based on UK or at least European birds. That’s why I think Rookidee is based on the blue tit , great tit and (possibly) non-European chickadee, which is a member of the Parus (tit) family. Its shiny form probably draws inspiration from the marsh/willow tit. Corvisquire is probably based on a small corvid- most probably the jackdaw, though its relatively bright colouring suggest elements of the (Eurasian) jay. Same with its shiny, but more jackdaw. And finally, Corviknight is 100% raven. For those that say that its size is too large for a corvid inspiration, the Eurasian Rave is the worlds largest passerine ( perching bird) and is bigger than several birds of prey. Corviknight is pure raven down to the neck ruffle and harsh cry.
Some nerd who talks about the detailed and storied background of media? Yeah, of course Ravenclaw. All you need to know is that Ravenclaw is the nerd house.
I always thought that Corviknight was also based on the Stymphalian Bird, a mythological bird with metallic feathers that was known for shooting it’s feathers out like throwing blades
I wouldn't take too much pride in being a Slytherin Austin.....The ONLY good people in that house are Horace Slughorn and Severus Snape. And as much as I love Severus as a character that's not really saying much for that house.
G-max’s blade birds always make me think about The Gundam series’s funnels detachable remote turrets that were funnel shaped on the original mobile suit they belonged too. Which looks kinda like a shiny Corviknight. The upgraded version of that mobile suit looks kinda like a regular corvikight as it’s a really deep, dark purple, almost black G-max’s blade birds could be a reference to funnels with how old Gundam (and this particular mobile suit) is
The blade bird thing of Gigantamax Corviknight reminds me of the Stymphalian birds of Greek myth. Metallic birds with sharp feathers that they shoot at prey.
The Harry potter quiz is really not important, because even in lore you could pretty much choose for your own if you want to. But there are certain traits to them regardless. Gryffindor are the brave ones and ravenclaw are the smart ones. Slytherin are the pride one, but they're also the ones with the most prejudices of all houses. The bloodline is the most important and if you're a child of two non magicians, they will probably bully you. It's also the house every follower of Voldemort was in. They're the bad guys. So no, Slytherin is not better than ravenclaw.
@@pastapastel910that what I’m guessing as well, they are little squires still in their feather armour, not yet experienced enough to be given their metal armor
I had an idea for a fakemon, it's a grass/flying dodo bird thats feathers turn into shinai and bõgu. I call it Kendodo. Feel free to steal since I'm not gonna do anything with the idea. I'd like to see if anyone makes something of it.
It's always funny to me to imagine how you record voicepieces like the last part. Just a weirdly screaming Lockstin in his recording room, with Sasha judging from a distance.
This makes me wonder how Corviknight without the armor would look, because under the armor the only things shown are it’s beard (unless it’s part of the armor), the eyes, and parts of its legs
I always assumed the reason Corviknight is the Taxi service is because Black is like this symbol of VIP. Think to black limos, black taxis, black escort cars, a lot of which is popular in British movies. Heck, Black Taxis are another icon of British transport culture aside from the Red Doubledecker. To be transported by Corviknight is to be travelling in style and comfort fit for the Queen.
About corviknight and it's evolution lines names: Rookiedee is a Rookie, which in the middle ages meant he was training to be a squire. Corvisquire is a squire, which is a knight in training. A squire would also assist his knight by doing things for him, like getting weapons ready. Corviknight is now a full fledged knight, armored up and ready for combat!
"how did they decide that these are different species?" sing it with me: it's in the D-D-D-D-D-N-A... which is a necesity because nature's rule seemsto be "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
You know, I find that hard to believe. There’s a lot we don’t know about DNA as of yet, so I think taxonomy is still based largely on observations. That’s why we still have debates as to what counts as a subspecies vs species vs genus. It’s not always an easy line in the sand. I would need to do more research though.
Hi, We love your videos and in fact they should think about Picking Pokémon as engine, But Can you q day make a video about how aliens might reconstruct Pokémon for us please?
In the game Age of Mythology the unit called Roc, is a flying creature that you can summon so you can carry your land units. It's probably a big strech, but it could be the why Corviknight is a taxi.
It wasn't really mentioned, but the tower of London is mostly famous for torture. The play Richard 3rd by William Shakespeare has richard send his nephews (I think, been a while since I read it) taken to the tower and later poisoned so he could secure the crown. Mary Queen of Scots was also famously held there for many years until her execution. I've got a hunch as well that corviknight is based on the stereotypical depiction of an executor as well, with the all black and angry expression with what looks like it's wearing a hood as well, even with its "blade birds", axes stopped being used for head chopping and were replaced with swords from Spain (oh hey, paldea).
Until this video, I didnt even realize it was a separate, specific location from where royalty lived (thinking Greenwich/Whitehall, I guess). I thought that the castle/palace towers were just where they kept prisoners. 🌠
@TheDarwinProject1 they kept prisoners in dungeons underneath castles (there's one near Manchester I think that's still used as a prison today), but royalty would mostly live in palaces, like Buckingham and Hampton Court. Castles were mostly strongholds or army barracks
pretty sure the main reason for corviknight being the taxi service pokemon is just because its black to represent black cabs plus its one of the very few new mons that can actually fly

Sasha should be in every game. and every video. not in the spotlight, but just napping in the background.
If you've managed to survive this long dodging the harry potter bullet, I 100% do not suggest becoming interested in it these days.
Such a perfect Pokémon. And the reason I’d crush Tinkaton’s skull with her own hammer. If I was strong enough anyways.
Ravenclaw actually has an eagle on the crest the movies got that wrong
Quizilla... I remember writing fanfics that are now lost to time. God I am olddd. (;~;)
You are a ravenclaw, you fit so much, you scholarly, very ravenclaw
the whole line is clearly based of the corvid bird species. Corvi- is basically just corvid and a rook is a species of corvid found a lot in england
Squawkabilly provide the taxi service in Paldea instead of Corviknight because of the threatening Tinkaton that live there.
i mean... if we take the chess inspiration we can also justify why it's shiny is white, referencing the black\white duality
If each region had it's own taxi service then what would Pokémon would be used for each region?
Well, Wooper would be used for Johto
And then corviknight left galar to paldea only to get pelted with rocks by a pink gremlin with a massive hammer
In the game Age of Mythology the unit called Roc, is a flying creature that you can summon so you can carry your land units.
It's probably a big strech, but it could be the why Corviknight is a taxi.
I was wondering he same question, But is because they see it as Armored Flying Engine and resistance?
"great tits"
"tits are pretty passive by nature"
I legit could not stop laughing, I'm so sorry
It wasn't really mentioned, but the tower of London is mostly famous for torture. The play Richard 3rd by William Shakespeare has richard send his nephews (I think, been a while since I read it) taken to the tower and later poisoned so he could secure the crown. Mary Queen of Scots was also famously held there for many years until her execution. I've got a hunch as well that corviknight is based on the stereotypical depiction of an executor as well, with the all black and angry expression with what looks like it's wearing a hood as well, even with its "blade birds", axes stopped being used for head chopping and were replaced with swords from Spain (oh hey, paldea).
Until this video, I didnt even realize it was a separate, specific location from where royalty lived (thinking Greenwich/Whitehall, I guess). I thought that the castle/palace towers were just where they kept prisoners. 🌠
@TheDarwinProject1 they kept prisoners in dungeons underneath castles (there's one near Manchester I think that's still used as a prison today), but royalty would mostly live in palaces, like Buckingham and Hampton Court. Castles were mostly strongholds or army barracks
Well, now that you mention the Roc, in Age of mythology the Roc serves as a transport unit.
*Tinkaton has entered the chat*
I wasn't expecting the Kingdom Hearts ORG 13 chair room at the end LMAOOOOO
pretty sure the main reason for corviknight being the taxi service pokemon is just because its black to represent black cabs plus its one of the very few new mons that can actually fly
Neat vid!
Though it’s kinda weird but I expected Tinkaton to be mentioned a bit in this vid, but I guess that’s what the Tinkaton vid was for
Just watching these videos makes the pokemon grow on me, love the videos!
Besides, they should use this Pokémon for defense and attack, not for taxi
In Paldea they used those collective rockabilly bird, right?
so...I can't see the emojis in the title.
guess my computer is going to explode.
Let's be honest, at this time it is not worth getting into HP for a multitude of reasons, lol
When I saw Corviknight and got one, I named it 'Pidgeon Carrier'
It's a taxi because they hired it to be a taxi. XD
So many thumbs up for using the Organization XIII chairs 😂
10:42 Corviknights shiny isn't white, its rusty brown
