I watch this just so I can brag to my friends how much I (*cough* you) know about pokemon- Unfortunately I'm one of a kind and NOBODY LIKES POKEMON IN MY SKOOL ;---;
as a former catfish biologist, good video! one thing though - Whiscash and Barboach aren't based on carp. They're based on catfishes and loaches, respectively. Barboach's name is most likely a reference to "loach" and to "barbels" - the technical name of catfish "whiskers". Loach share the whisker-like projections on their face that some carp do - loaches and carp belong to the same order of fish, but not to the same family. Catfish, meanwhile, are in a totally separate order and their barbels are often more specialized! Personally I love Whiscash, it shares the same stupid look on its face that you see on something like a redtail, bullhead, or channel catfish :)
I didn't know all that but felt like he was wrong in calling them carp. I'm kind of more excited now that their shiny forms will be released soon in Pokemon go.
Some minor corrections: Wimpod and Golisopod are leaning more towards Isopods, Clawitzer is based specifically on the pistol shrimp, barboach is a loach, wiscash is a catfish (namely based off the namazu).
The only retcon for that as far as I know was the Pokémon mystery dungeon anime special where the human turned squirtle falls in the water and realizes he can breathe. Although I might be remembering wrong.
As a marine biologist, I have to say - great video! Hope everyone learned a lot. One thing, though - Eelectross and kin are definitely lampreys and I'd love it if you did a video on it. Tynamo looks almost exactly like an ammocoete (larval lamprey) it's amazing. Gamefreak really knew what it was doing with them.
Yeah theres a whole couple of weird misidentifications throughout this lmao Skrelp is more of a weedy sea-dragon. Shellos/Gastrodon are more like Nudibranchs. Clauncher/Clawitzer are specifically bullet-shrimp, which are just... like that. And Wimpod/Golisopod are more like isopods, than trilobites (or, uh... "trogolobites") lol
I was gonna say that about Sharpedo as well but it looks more based off of a Great White or Tiger Shark who are salt water only. Mind you, the aggressiveness of the Bull shark makes sense for Sharpedo mixed with the fact that Carvahna is based off of a piranha, a fresh water fish could also apply
I could've sworn that the Whiscash line was based on catfish. Catfish are very important in Japan, with there even being catfish that create earthquakes in Japanese mythology.
Ok but thank you for actually teaching me biology and more stuff in majority of your videos rather than just being "top 10 this because i THINK this". Probably one of the top reasons why i love your channel :0

Clauncher and Clawitzer are based off the pistol shrimp, a shrimp with one big claw that can make an extremely loud sound to stun prey. It's one of my favorite ocean creatures and I'm super glad we got a Pokemon based off them.
Wouldn't Shapedo be technically both fresh and salt water since a bull shark can do that and the glyphis genus (river sharks) are true freshwater sharks?
It's pretty obviously a mega shark (the family that contains great whites) which are salt only. They may change over their life span like eels and salmon
Actually in Hoenn where the Pokémon originates from, Sharpedo can be found in the river on route 119 by using a super rod. So to answer your question, Sharpedo should have been considered to be both fresh and salt water. Even in the region that Sharpedo was found in says it can do both, and it goes along with the whole sharks going up rivers.
@@marvalice3455 As it can exist in rivers it’s much more likely to be a bullshark than a great white! Both even look very similar, and sharpedo is closer to the size of a bullshark (it’s slightly underweight for one but as it lacks a tail this makes sense).
I dont know if this was addressed but osmorregulation works the oppossite way as the example you put on 5:15 Its the water the element which crosses the membrane to regulate both compartiments not the ions
I have a little theory about the dimension trio. You once made a video how giratina would represent gravity. What if the three respresent many things? Time Space Gravity Solid Liquid Gas Force Matter Antimatter Wave Particle Quantum object Solid liquid and gas are already an other theory and it matches their types. Force is always dependend on time and matter always needs space. Antimatter is confirmed by pokemon itself. The last ones are a bit lose snd also dependend on the other representations. Waves are made by an force, often accosiated with water and also depend on time (frequency). Particles are kind of equivalent to matter. Giratina has two forms, while quantum objects are a wave and a particle at the same time. Both also have kind of ghostly properties. Also notice how all the things giratina represents are potentially very destructive or seemingly defy the laws of physics. I think we can interpret many things in pokemon gamefreak didnt even intend. Please excuse my bad English.
BlauesSerpiroyal that’s a really interesting theory, I feel like it actually holds up to scrutiny quite well. And your English can pass for that of a native speaker because nobody uses good grammar on the internet, yours is even good in comparison.
I love that you take a fun topic like Pokemon and turn it into a science class as well. I think it's pretty clever and that why I love your channel because it teaches me scientific facts when still keeping a fun topic!
@@samarnadra Like stepping onto the schoolbus only to find you'd forgotten your pants, so everyone notices your undies and ridicules you, but thank goodness fish don't need to worry about this fate in particular.
"Devonian" not "Devonation". Also, ammonites could live at any depth. "Trilobite" not "Troglobite". Also worth noting is that many of Kabutops features (its active carnivory and large claws) are based on sea scorpions. They're also depicted as living in shallow water, possibly even swamps. Wimpod and Golisopod, other than being partially based on trilobites, are based on isopods (it's in their names), small to large crustaceans that are either scavengers or parasites. The "rolly polly" is one of these creatures. Clauncher and Clawitzer are based on pistol shrimp. These are deadly crustaceans notorious for their large pincers that can snap rapidly with enough force to stun/kill prey with a powerful, superheated explosion. Barboach and Whiscash are actually large catfish, not carp.
Bull sharks can go fresh and salt water therefore if we considering sharpedo similar to Bull sharks then it makes sense like how the fresh water caravanah evolves and goes to the sea. So makes sense if we take his video in to consideration!

"Amolamola" - Lockstin trying to pronounce Alomomola at 14:53
This just reminds me of how in Zoo Tycoon you could adopt a Plesiosaurus which needed salt water but you could also adopt a Loch Ness Monster which looked almost the same but needed fresh water.
Objections! Eelektross is a combination of a sea lamprey and an electric eel. Electric eels are actually knife fish and not eels, and they live in fresh water river basins. Sea lamprey, despite the name, can live in either salt or fresh water. So Eelektross and its line would most accurately be categorized as fresh water or both, but definitely not salt water exclusively. Whiscash is not a carp, it is obviously a catfish. Catfish are quite different from carp, as they are not even in the same order (cypriniformes) and, interestingly, do not have scales unlike most other fish. Barboach is also a loach and not really a carp, but at least they are more closely related. And that's about it, this was a pretty well-researched and interesting video! I just happen to know too much about fish already.
No joke. I genuinely find these videos entertaining and educational. I learn more interesting information in a 20 min Gnoggin vid than I did in an entire semester of High School science class. And this is a video about Pokemon!
This was a very fun video, and I learned quite a bit from it. I also have a newfound appreciation for Remoraid after you mentioned it's design origins. When the archerfish was mentioned, Remoraid's design actually popped out at me as resembling a bow and arrow in fish form, with the rear fins resembling the bow. Fish and fish Pokemon are so cool.
As a fan of aquatic life I always wondered about this! As mentioned water is water as far as pokemon are concerned, but if looking at their locations in game there is a trend between pokemon preferring the salt water ocean or bodies of freshwater like lakes and rivers, with some exceptions of course like magikarp living in *any* body of water that can be fished in Couple notes though, if you don't mind me sayng Goldeen and seaking are more like fancy goldfish than koi, with their short round bodies and long flowing fins, traits that - while detrimental for swimming and often cause of health problems - were selectively bred for due to being considered attractive) "Those scary new zealand eels that are in lakes" What about electric eels? Which are actually not eels but knifefish, and freshwater One last note, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think octillery got mentioned. Obviously they're an octopus so saltwater I also don't remember seeing clamperl or luvdisc All the same, great vid! Very informative too, and I love all the scientific explanations you use
Just thought I’d mention: hyponatraemia isn’t a loss of nutrients and minerals in the body through body waste; it’s actually an inadequate concentration of salt in body (specifically the bloodstream - which is where the “aemia” comes from). Basically, it’s life-threatening sodium deficiency, which CAN happen as a result of flushing sodium out of the body through excessive urination of lots of water, but it SPECIFICALLY involves sodium and isn’t defined by the flushing of minerals out of the body. Hyponatraemia is defined primarily by the sodium in the blood being too diluted in comparison to the concentrations in cells, which (because of osmosis) results in fluid in the body rushing into the more concentrated cells and causing them to swell up (which you did mention later on), resulting in potential organ damage, failure and death if vital organs swell too much. It doesn’t even need to happen because of urination flushing existing sodium out of your body; if you drink far too much water and DON’T urinate, leaving all of the excess water still inside you, it might be enough to dilute the sodium already in your body and cause hyponatraemia that way.
Sam N. Yeah, prescribing foods like that is pretty funny. It does happen with serious merit though, like with people with diabetes at risk of hypoglycaemia (blood sugar levels getting too low) being told to eat jelly beans or sweet things high in sugar, like drinking juice, in order to get their blood sugar levels back up (I’m pretty sure this is the purpose of jellybeans you find in packets in pharmacies). I found it interesting that you mentioned an excess of potassium affects it, since I know that potassium and sodium have a linked role in the body (for example, potassium and sodium ions create the electrical charges in our nervous system). So, I did some research, and found out that this relationship also extends to balancing sodium levels in the blood, too. The balance in concentration inside and outside cells (on either side of the cell membrane - which acts as a kind of protective skin around cells) tends to actually involve both sodium AND potassium. Generally, the balance wants to keep a higher concentration of sodium outside the cells or in the blood, with lower concentrations of potassium; while inside the cells is usually a higher concentration of potassium, with less sodium. It’s actually regulated by a mechanism in the cell membrane called the Sodium-Potassium Pump, that transfers the two substances where they’re needed (usually potassium into the cell and sodium out). So, if it’s the other way around - that is, with a lot of potassium in the bloodstream (the medical condition for this extreme being hyperkalemia) - it would cause problems for the levels of sodium. This makes me wonder if the osmotic issue with severe hyponatraemia is specifically because cells are already supposed to have a low concentration of sodium (because there’s far more potassium in there), and the water rushing into cells happens because the sodium in the blood has specifically dropped below this small threshold of sodium in the cells, so the cells still end up more concentrated by comparison. It’s not that there’s normally a balance of sodium on either side of the cell membrane, but that the fact the blood is normally more concentrated keeps most of the water there (instead of all rushing into the cells).
Sam N. Oh, so you also keep sugary foods and other sources of glucose with you? I feel a bit embarrassed for mentioning what you already know, haha! I primarily know because my mother works with primary school children and has to take care of kids with Type 1 Diabetes, so she’s talked about how she has to manage their blood sugar with the high-sugar foods they have at the ready, usually while trying to adjust for the insulin dose the kid had (since the calories they have need to be measured for the dosage). And I definitely agree with you about the salt. I think it has to do with how the media has made the public aware of not overdoing the salt intake, since we live in a society where foods that are very high in salt (like processed and fast foods) are readily available, and people need to be wary of not having such foods too often because that can lead to chronic high levels of salt . Problem is, that tends to create a sort of one-sided fear-mongering about salt, with all the information about diseases high salt levels can supposedly lead to. Except, people forget most of these diseases are due to consistently high salt intake in the long term (or even other things in food besides salt) and the dietary baseline - or even what is too much or not enough - differs from person to person depending upon individual needs. Maybe people avoid it out of an obsession with health, like people obsess over going on diets or only eating certain fresh or healthy things? ...except they don’t know that we need a consistent salt intake because sodium is essential to our bodies’ function. (In fact, our bodies will reward us depending on what we feed it. We love sweet tastes and sugar because glucose is necessary to create energy, so our brain rewards us for consuming it; manufactured sweet foods have high concentrations of sugar, so the glucose, and reward, you get out of it increases - at the expense of your teeth. So, if the body is craving something, it either has an addiction to the substance or it is low in those things - like salt or sugar - and is signalling a person that it requires more to balance it out. It’s rather funny how we often crave salty tastes, yet people don’t realise it’s our brain rewarding us for something that we need and isn’t inherently bad for us.) I don’t think many people are aware of hyponatraemia unless they get the information from a medical source (like being told by a doctor or looking up medical information themselves), while the media gives them plenty of scare stories about the long term affects of high salt levels. Being deficient in sodium is usually far more dangerous in the short term than being too high in sodium - it’s a shame that people don’t always know that. Then again, moderation is key with everything in the body. We can actually die from too much oxygen (pure oxygen is toxic to humans), or too much water (which is one of the most likely causes of acute severe hyponatraemia, but if I remember correctly there are other conditions, specifically toxicity, that can be caused by excess water intake as well), even though people are more often concerned about the lack of both. We can die from iron poisoning, but anaemia can cause fatigue, dizziness and problems with mental concentration; magnesium overdoses are very dangerous, too, but magnesium deficiency is also a big problem; calcium is vital for developing and repairing bones, but hypercalcaemia can wreck them. Too much or little of anything will usually harm us because it throws the balance off.
For the Mudkip line (the Mud Fish Pokemon), they're based off of amphibians such as axolotls, mudskippers, and even the lungfish. So they would live in freshwater
There's something about your videos that makes me interested in topics I ordinarily wouldn't care about. That, sir, takes some skill, and I appreciate it.
Someone mentioned Feebas and Milotic…but I’m more concerned with the fact that you DID categorize Carvanha and Sharpedo AND THEY’RE IN DIFFERENT CATEGORIES! What happens when a Carvanha is swimming along in a freshwater river, then evolves and needs to get to the sea before it explodes?! :( Anyway…I really love this channel, I feel like now is a good time to mention this, even when Maxill is awol, Iove this channel. It’s edutainment with a Pokémon theme, one of the easiest ways to make something edutainment, and Lockstin himself is always a simply delightful host. I’m proud to be a top patron. :)
@@TheOtherNeutrino **eyeroll** Sharks are not deadly to humans, at least not inherently. We are not their prey. Sharks are the janitors of the seas, they eat weak, sick, and injured marine life; we just happen to seem like those when we swim because we are not meant for the water. If ever a shark attacks you, just punch it in the face. I'm serious - if you demonstrate that you're strong enough to fight back, you'll be demonstrating that you're not the sort of thing a shark wants to eat. That's interesting about bull sharks, though, thank you for the fun fact.
@@Wandergirl108 Dude, I'm just as much of a shark advocate as you are, but the person you're replying too wasn't saying that all sharks are deadly to humans. Of the incidents wherein a shark has caused harm to a human, bull sharks have a track record, simply because humans have a greater chance to be in their area. I totally get advocating for the genus, but I think you jumped the gun here.
@@Wandergirl108 Bullsharks however are VERY aggressive and actually a harm to humans when they go up rivers. If they make their way up rivers they’ll pick off children and anyone who gets in the water with them (territorial and not much large game for them makes us targets). I love sharks and truly don’t see them as bad but bullsharks aren’t something to mess with and you need to be cautious with them! It’s actually assumed by scientists that most great white attacks were actually bullsharks as most can’t tell the difference. Shark attacks are very rare but you’re more likely to be bitten by a bullshark than most other sharks.
I feel like Corals are very interesting and make it easy to get a full evolution line of pokemon, but Corsola for example doesn't has one, which is sad. She could have a larva pre-evolution and an interesting evolution, being a coral reef, which could be water psychic, due to all the corals fusioning their minds into a single being. They could even make it so that, if you gave a fire stone to corsola, it would evolve into a second dragon like coral pokemon with red color, that its water- fire, in representation of the fire coral, being able to learn some dragon and rock type moves, and maybe poison. i think it would be amazing, and one of my favorite pokemons.

Hi there, That Guy here.... The ammonites Omanyte and Omastar are based on lived from the Devonian period to the Cretascious period. Wth is the Devonascian period? 🤣😅
...aren't Barboach and Whiscash a loach and a catfish, respectively? Not sure how you got a carp. That aside, it's interesting to compare the habitats of all these Pokémon with their real world inspirations.
This is fantastic! I genuinely enjoy and appreciate learning how salt effects the body of fish and humans, how fresh/salt water fish both biologically cope with their environment, and how Pokémon use those traits as well. This is really cool so thank you for learning this and taking the time to present that in a video.
14:18 The ocean floor should be *more* salty because saltier water is more dense. When it rains, fresh water pools can collect on the ocean surface (due to fresh water being less dense). I wonder if rain ever kills saltwater fish that swim too close to the surface... going to look that up now. Love the level of detail these videos go into!
Although Vaporeon gets a lot of fish-like parts and I think some gills too, I guess it does have a fothermuckering _nose_ so, yeah. Great video btw, keep it up
By the title and the current times, I was expecting another kind of video. This was very cool tho, refreshing even. Also, we need more fish Pokémon, considering the variety of fish we have in real life.
Seals and Walruses (which is what the Spheal, Seal, and Popplio lines are) do live near Salty water usually, however they are mammals meaning they need to breathe air, this video was only about specifically Fish and those animals that require being in water to breathe/creatures with gills.
@@Djuuugarn if you go back and read my comment you'll notice I say they do live near salt water usually, which translates out to mean 9 times out of 10 you will find a seal near salt water, but there is still the possibility to find them near non-salt water.
You said "troglobite" but I'm pretty sure you meant "trilobite." Trilobites are the fossils that resemble horseshoe crabs. Troglobites are a completely separate classification of species which are bound to underground habitats.
These games also ignore some of physics, like when you encounter a wild Pokémon while using surf you can stand( as well as your Pokémon ) on the surface of the water during the battle

Even in the region that Sharpedo was found in says it can do both, and it goes along with the whole sharks going up rivers.
@@marvalice3455 As it can exist in rivers it’s much more likely to be a bullshark than a great white! Both even look very similar, and sharpedo is closer to the size of a bullshark (it’s slightly underweight for one but as it lacks a tail this makes sense).
I dont know if this was addressed but osmorregulation works the oppossite way as the example you put on 5:15
Its the water the element which crosses the membrane to regulate both compartiments not the ions

I have a little theory about the dimension trio.
You once made a video how giratina would represent gravity. What if the three respresent many things?
Time Space Gravity
Solid Liquid Gas
Force Matter Antimatter
Wave Particle Quantum object
Solid liquid and gas are already an other theory and it matches their types.
Force is always dependend on time and matter always needs space. Antimatter is confirmed by pokemon itself.
The last ones are a bit lose snd also dependend on the other representations. Waves are made by an force, often accosiated with water and also depend on time (frequency).
Particles are kind of equivalent to matter. Giratina has two forms, while quantum objects are a wave and a particle at the same time. Both also have kind of ghostly properties.
Also notice how all the things giratina represents are potentially very destructive or seemingly defy the laws of physics.
I think we can interpret many things in pokemon gamefreak didnt even intend.
Please excuse my bad English.
BlauesSerpiroyal that’s a really interesting theory, I feel like it actually holds up to scrutiny quite well. And your English can pass for that of a native speaker because nobody uses good grammar on the internet, yours is even good in comparison.
@@cooldude6269 thanks
What?
In modern physics, gravity is what causes space and time to flow...
@@Alex-kp5pq not exactly. Gravity is a bulge in space time as far as i am concerned.

"There are things that are worse then death"
"Devonian" not "Devonation". Also, ammonites could live at any depth.
"Trilobite" not "Troglobite". Also worth noting is that many of Kabutops features (its active carnivory and large claws) are based on sea scorpions. They're also depicted as living in shallow water, possibly even swamps.
Wimpod and Golisopod, other than being partially based on trilobites, are based on isopods (it's in their names), small to large crustaceans that are either scavengers or parasites. The "rolly polly" is one of these creatures.
Clauncher and Clawitzer are based on pistol shrimp. These are deadly crustaceans notorious for their large pincers that can snap rapidly with enough force to stun/kill prey with a powerful, superheated explosion.
Barboach and Whiscash are actually large catfish, not carp.
You forgot the mythical slugs Phione and Manaphy... sea angels...

Gnoggin: Do these Pokémon live in fresh or salt water?
Brackish Water: Am I a joke to you?
I thought that too lol
But he does talk about brackish water...
Bull sharks can go fresh and salt water therefore if we considering sharpedo similar to Bull sharks then it makes sense like how the fresh water caravanah evolves and goes to the sea. So makes sense if we take his video in to consideration!
"Amolamola" - Lockstin trying to pronounce Alomomola at 14:53
I mean, mola mola is the Latin name for the ocean sunfish that Alomomola is based on. He could be saying "a mola mola" by accident 😂
no wonder garodos is always so angry, he's all salty XD
This just reminds me of how in Zoo Tycoon you could adopt a Plesiosaurus which needed salt water but you could also adopt a Loch Ness Monster which looked almost the same but needed fresh water.
flyingpardin I loved that game when I was younger.
Objections!
Eelektross is a combination of a sea lamprey and an electric eel. Electric eels are actually knife fish and not eels, and they live in fresh water river basins. Sea lamprey, despite the name, can live in either salt or fresh water. So Eelektross and its line would most accurately be categorized as fresh water or both, but definitely not salt water exclusively.
Whiscash is not a carp, it is obviously a catfish. Catfish are quite different from carp, as they are not even in the same order (cypriniformes) and, interestingly, do not have scales unlike most other fish. Barboach is also a loach and not really a carp, but at least they are more closely related.
And that's about it, this was a pretty well-researched and interesting video! I just happen to know too much about fish already.

devonation and troglobites. You have made the paleontologist in my heart very sad lockstin ;^;
I was in pain for like ten minutes after he said that
No joke. I genuinely find these videos entertaining and educational. I learn more interesting information in a 20 min Gnoggin vid than I did in an entire semester of High School science class.
And this is a video about Pokemon!
This was a very fun video, and I learned quite a bit from it. I also have a newfound appreciation for Remoraid after you mentioned it's design origins. When the archerfish was mentioned, Remoraid's design actually popped out at me as resembling a bow and arrow in fish form, with the rear fins resembling the bow. Fish and fish Pokemon are so cool.
As a fan of aquatic life I always wondered about this! As mentioned water is water as far as pokemon are concerned, but if looking at their locations in game there is a trend between pokemon preferring the salt water ocean or bodies of freshwater like lakes and rivers, with some exceptions of course like magikarp living in *any* body of water that can be fished in
Couple notes though, if you don't mind me sayng
Goldeen and seaking are more like fancy goldfish than koi, with their short round bodies and long flowing fins, traits that - while detrimental for swimming and often cause of health problems - were selectively bred for due to being considered attractive)
"Those scary new zealand eels that are in lakes"
What about electric eels? Which are actually not eels but knifefish, and freshwater
One last note, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think octillery got mentioned. Obviously they're an octopus so saltwater
I also don't remember seeing clamperl or luvdisc
All the same, great vid! Very informative too, and I love all the scientific explanations you use
*THIS KILLS THE FISH*

Just thought I’d mention: hyponatraemia isn’t a loss of nutrients and minerals in the body through body waste; it’s actually an inadequate concentration of salt in body (specifically the bloodstream - which is where the “aemia” comes from). Basically, it’s life-threatening sodium deficiency, which CAN happen as a result of flushing sodium out of the body through excessive urination of lots of water, but it SPECIFICALLY involves sodium and isn’t defined by the flushing of minerals out of the body. Hyponatraemia is defined primarily by the sodium in the blood being too diluted in comparison to the concentrations in cells, which (because of osmosis) results in fluid in the body rushing into the more concentrated cells and causing them to swell up (which you did mention later on), resulting in potential organ damage, failure and death if vital organs swell too much. It doesn’t even need to happen because of urination flushing existing sodium out of your body; if you drink far too much water and DON’T urinate, leaving all of the excess water still inside you, it might be enough to dilute the sodium already in your body and cause hyponatraemia that way.
Sam N. Yeah, prescribing foods like that is pretty funny. It does happen with serious merit though, like with people with diabetes at risk of hypoglycaemia (blood sugar levels getting too low) being told to eat jelly beans or sweet things high in sugar, like drinking juice, in order to get their blood sugar levels back up (I’m pretty sure this is the purpose of jellybeans you find in packets in pharmacies).
I found it interesting that you mentioned an excess of potassium affects it, since I know that potassium and sodium have a linked role in the body (for example, potassium and sodium ions create the electrical charges in our nervous system). So, I did some research, and found out that this relationship also extends to balancing sodium levels in the blood, too. The balance in concentration inside and outside cells (on either side of the cell membrane - which acts as a kind of protective skin around cells) tends to actually involve both sodium AND potassium. Generally, the balance wants to keep a higher concentration of sodium outside the cells or in the blood, with lower concentrations of potassium; while inside the cells is usually a higher concentration of potassium, with less sodium. It’s actually regulated by a mechanism in the cell membrane called the Sodium-Potassium Pump, that transfers the two substances where they’re needed (usually potassium into the cell and sodium out). So, if it’s the other way around - that is, with a lot of potassium in the bloodstream (the medical condition for this extreme being hyperkalemia) - it would cause problems for the levels of sodium. This makes me wonder if the osmotic issue with severe hyponatraemia is specifically because cells are already supposed to have a low concentration of sodium (because there’s far more potassium in there), and the water rushing into cells happens because the sodium in the blood has specifically dropped below this small threshold of sodium in the cells, so the cells still end up more concentrated by comparison. It’s not that there’s normally a balance of sodium on either side of the cell membrane, but that the fact the blood is normally more concentrated keeps most of the water there (instead of all rushing into the cells).
Sam N. Oh, so you also keep sugary foods and other sources of glucose with you? I feel a bit embarrassed for mentioning what you already know, haha! I primarily know because my mother works with primary school children and has to take care of kids with Type 1 Diabetes, so she’s talked about how she has to manage their blood sugar with the high-sugar foods they have at the ready, usually while trying to adjust for the insulin dose the kid had (since the calories they have need to be measured for the dosage).
And I definitely agree with you about the salt. I think it has to do with how the media has made the public aware of not overdoing the salt intake, since we live in a society where foods that are very high in salt (like processed and fast foods) are readily available, and people need to be wary of not having such foods too often because that can lead to chronic high levels of salt . Problem is, that tends to create a sort of one-sided fear-mongering about salt, with all the information about diseases high salt levels can supposedly lead to. Except, people forget most of these diseases are due to consistently high salt intake in the long term (or even other things in food besides salt) and the dietary baseline - or even what is too much or not enough - differs from person to person depending upon individual needs. Maybe people avoid it out of an obsession with health, like people obsess over going on diets or only eating certain fresh or healthy things? ...except they don’t know that we need a consistent salt intake because sodium is essential to our bodies’ function. (In fact, our bodies will reward us depending on what we feed it. We love sweet tastes and sugar because glucose is necessary to create energy, so our brain rewards us for consuming it; manufactured sweet foods have high concentrations of sugar, so the glucose, and reward, you get out of it increases - at the expense of your teeth. So, if the body is craving something, it either has an addiction to the substance or it is low in those things - like salt or sugar - and is signalling a person that it requires more to balance it out. It’s rather funny how we often crave salty tastes, yet people don’t realise it’s our brain rewarding us for something that we need and isn’t inherently bad for us.)
I don’t think many people are aware of hyponatraemia unless they get the information from a medical source (like being told by a doctor or looking up medical information themselves), while the media gives them plenty of scare stories about the long term affects of high salt levels. Being deficient in sodium is usually far more dangerous in the short term than being too high in sodium - it’s a shame that people don’t always know that.
Then again, moderation is key with everything in the body. We can actually die from too much oxygen (pure oxygen is toxic to humans), or too much water (which is one of the most likely causes of acute severe hyponatraemia, but if I remember correctly there are other conditions, specifically toxicity, that can be caused by excess water intake as well), even though people are more often concerned about the lack of both. We can die from iron poisoning, but anaemia can cause fatigue, dizziness and problems with mental concentration; magnesium overdoses are very dangerous, too, but magnesium deficiency is also a big problem; calcium is vital for developing and repairing bones, but hypercalcaemia can wreck them. Too much or little of anything will usually harm us because it throws the balance off.
For the Mudkip line (the Mud Fish Pokemon), they're based off of amphibians such as axolotls, mudskippers, and even the lungfish. So they would live in freshwater
Mudskippers and lungfish are actually fish, not amphibians. They are more based on mudpuppies, another type of salamander, than axolotls.
Jer Gross oh yeah, my bad. Forgot to include that mudskippers and lungfish are fish

Someone mentioned Feebas and Milotic…but I’m more concerned with the fact that you DID categorize Carvanha and Sharpedo AND THEY’RE IN DIFFERENT CATEGORIES! What happens when a Carvanha is swimming along in a freshwater river, then evolves and needs to get to the sea before it explodes?! :(

Bull sharks have been known to swim up rivers for many miles. This also contributes to why they are among the deadliest sharks to humans.
@@TheOtherNeutrino **eyeroll** Sharks are not deadly to humans, at least not inherently. We are not their prey. Sharks are the janitors of the seas, they eat weak, sick, and injured marine life; we just happen to seem like those when we swim because we are not meant for the water. If ever a shark attacks you, just punch it in the face. I'm serious - if you demonstrate that you're strong enough to fight back, you'll be demonstrating that you're not the sort of thing a shark wants to eat.
That's interesting about bull sharks, though, thank you for the fun fact.
@@Wandergirl108 Dude, I'm just as much of a shark advocate as you are, but the person you're replying too wasn't saying that all sharks are deadly to humans. Of the incidents wherein a shark has caused harm to a human, bull sharks have a track record, simply because humans have a greater chance to be in their area. I totally get advocating for the genus, but I think you jumped the gun here.
@@Wandergirl108 Bullsharks however are VERY aggressive and actually a harm to humans when they go up rivers. If they make their way up rivers they’ll pick off children and anyone who gets in the water with them (territorial and not much large game for them makes us targets).
I love sharks and truly don’t see them as bad but bullsharks aren’t something to mess with and you need to be cautious with them! It’s actually assumed by scientists that most great white attacks were actually bullsharks as most can’t tell the difference. Shark attacks are very rare but you’re more likely to be bitten by a bullshark than most other sharks.
When you realized Tentacool can be found in the RIVER to the Power Plant (First Gen)
Real World logic doesn't apply for Pokemon (Sword and Shield trailers show Mantyke and Mantine in the Fresh Water Lake in the Wild Area).
I feel like Corals are very interesting and make it easy to get a full evolution line of pokemon, but Corsola for example doesn't has one, which is sad. She could have a larva pre-evolution and an interesting evolution, being a coral reef, which could be water psychic, due to all the corals fusioning their minds into a single being. They could even make it so that, if you gave a fire stone to corsola, it would evolve into a second dragon like coral pokemon with red color, that its water- fire, in representation of the fire coral, being able to learn some dragon and rock type moves, and maybe poison. i think it would be amazing, and one of my favorite pokemons.
This comment was a predecessor for things to come.

Agreed
14:18 The ocean floor should be *more* salty because saltier water is more dense. When it rains, fresh water pools can collect on the ocean surface (due to fresh water being less dense). I wonder if rain ever kills saltwater fish that swim too close to the surface... going to look that up now. Love the level of detail these videos go into!

You said "troglobite" but I'm pretty sure you meant "trilobite." Trilobites are the fossils that resemble horseshoe crabs. Troglobites are a completely separate classification of species which are bound to underground habitats.
These games also ignore some of physics, like when you encounter a wild Pokémon while using surf you can stand( as well as your Pokémon ) on the surface of the water during the battle
