      It was VERY obvious to me given how much importance the story was giving to this seemingly not important pokemon even though I still think it's great, especially the cutscene. It was a fresh twist on legendaries to have weaker forms by your side that's for sure.

    For me, the biggest plot twist in ScarVio's DLCs is the realization that they DO have something to do with the main plot. Teal Mask starts with what seems like its own plot, like the SwSh DLCs, and then ties into the main story in the same way as the three stories in the main game.
    Legends: Arceus and Scarlet/Violet proved that the story doesn't have to end when the game ends, that it can continue into the post-game. I think the post-game will be an integral part of the main story from now on in future generations.

    The best plot twist was Larry being revealed to be a Flying type E4. In his gym battle he wore his cloud tie, unkempt feathery hair and Staraptor being normal/flying is genius foreshadowing. Larry as a character concept is genius, normal/flying is also the most common dual typing. Narratively he wants to be normal but society wants him to be flying (literally and metaphorically). He likes comfort and familiarity but in his post game rematch he learns of the importance of the unfamiliar which is symbolised by his flying team. He accepts his role in the E4 and accepts that the integrating the unfamiliar can be a good thing. In the Indigo DLC his team is a mixture of normal/flying types representing his mini character arc of him understanding why Geeta forced him to use flying types. It is ok to mix the unfamiliar and the familiar as highlighted by his mixed team - it is ok to be and love the ordinary and to sometimes accept and love the new. Larry is the normal/flying type in human form and I love it.

    The worst plot twist is Lugia being a psychic type. It came out of no where and makes no sense.

    • @HybridHero
      @HybridHero  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +182

      Facts, should’ve been a water type to this day

    • @matthewrowlett1564
      @matthewrowlett1564 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +97

      Did NOBODY watch Pokémon 2000?
      Lugia is clearly shown to be psychic. Moreover, if you pay attention, despite using whirlpool, it has NO MARKERS of a water type.
      Psychic/Flying makes sense.
      Lugia was created FOR the movies, And was added to the gen2 games Afterward.
      Also, while the US and most other languages Refer to it as "the lord of the sea" the Japanese refers to it as the "GUARDIAN" of the sea, which makes sense, as it's based on the Japanese Dragon God of the Sea...
      No, Psychic makes sense... but Lugia not being a Dragon, THATS the nonsensical Twist. (It's even, in the hg/ss expanded lore, referred to as the Dragon revered in ancient times in the dragons den.)
      Lugia should be a Psychic/Dragon.
      It should be noted that the ORIGINAL plan was a ice Type Beast based upon Fenrir... But they liked Lugia so much the Ice-Wolf was scrapped... and still hasn't been seen to this day. Ho-oh was supposed to be paired with a Water/Ice counter to its Fire/Flying types.

      @justinn8541akaDrPokemon หลายเดือนก่อน +94

      @@matthewrowlett1564 You litterally explained what one of it's impirations is and still belive that it makes sense as a psychic type.
      Takeshi Shudo, creator of Lugia and chief writer for the anime and it's movies, based it off of ocean currents.
      Shigeki Morimoto, a programmer for Gen 2, admitted they were going to make Lugia a water type, but decided to change it to psychic type since they wanted it to "feel powerful" since psychic was the most over powered type in Gen 1.
      You brought up the fact that Lugia is based on the Japanses Dragon God of the SEA 💧💧🌊🌊, yet you used that as evidence that it should be dragon type.
      Since you brought up the movies, the literal movie endswith water rising from the ocean and causing the seas to be tamed.
      The moves used are whirlpool, aeroblast, and safeguard, a WATER, flying, and NORMAL type move. No use of psychic types.
      People say, "it can talk to people". Meowth can talk to people. Also Tentacruel used Meowth as a puppet to talk to people in the episode "Tentacool & Tentacruel".
      You haven't even given me any "evidence" for the psychic type and gave me evidence for it being water type and dragon type.
      So the 3 types that makes sense for it are water, flying, and dragon.

    • @matthewrowlett1564
      @matthewrowlett1564 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

      @@justinn8541akaDrPokemon the sea god in question has wind powers, but no water powers other than changing tides, which is gravity.
      Second, Lugia speaks with people TELEPATHICALLY, much like Mewtwo and Slowking. Meowth does not, it learned to physically Speak human language. And what Tentacruel does IS Psychic, as Tentacruel CAN learn Psychic type moves in gen1, Which that season is based on.
      And there is this neat little thing Called HYDROKINESIS, The Telekinetic control over water.
      The 3 big reasons EVERYONE says in argument for it being water type are:
      1: it lives under water. Yeah, so does Dhelmise, a Grass/Ghost pokemon, Dragalge, a Dragon/Poison pokemon, And most counter to your theory, Dratini AND Dragonair, PURE DRAGON TYPES.
      2: it uses Water type moves: So does Rhydon. And it's WEAK to water.
      3: It's based on a Sea God: Yes and No. It's based on a Dragon God OF THE SEA, Not a SEA GOD that happens to be a dragon. OF THE SEA means it LIVES there, it is OF there, not necessarily in control of it. The God in question was actually a God of Fair Winds, protection, Safe Harbor, and Fertility... amd was said to arise, COMPLETELY DRY, From the sea surrounded by a sphere of water... much like lugia Flying within the Whirlpool.
      Sounds like Hydrokinesis to me.
      More evidence is Lugia Being A hydrokinetic Psychic and NOT a water type: Water types can CREATE Water. Lugia just uses the water Around it.
      Now, Since then, in the anime, it's been shown using Water Pulse and Hydro Pump, but originally? Just Whirlpool.
      It didn't MAKE water, it Simply controlled it.
      Lugia is A Hydro-Kinetic, Telekinetic, Telepathic Bird, that looks like a Dragon.
      Psychic/Flying makes sense. Psychic/Dragon Also Makes Sense. Water/Flying? Not so much.
      Now, I'll give you that it COULD have been water type... if it weren't Flying type. Psychic fits, it makes sense, especially with all the CLEAR EVIDENCE OF PSYCHIC POWERS.
      Flying, however, does not make sense, other than "it's a bird, so it's Flying type." Which is just dumb, and I wish they'd stop doing...

      @@matthewrowlett1564
      You are an idiot for denying the fact the creator and an important programmer for the game admitted they either based Lugia of of ocean current, or said they were originally going to make it water type before changing it to psychic type to make it powerful since psychic was the most overpowered type in gen 1.
      I still can not belive you think the water type makes no sense but psychic does.
      Evidence you idiots use for Lugia's BS psychic type.
      1. "It ONLY lives under the ocean."
      That isn't evidence for it being psychic type. Yet that is the main point you fools use to explain why it's psychic type.
      And your rebuttle for this Dhelmise, Dragalge, Dratine, and Dragonair, pokemon who have logical typing. People don't have a problem with Dratini and Dragonair being dragon type despite being based on sea serpents. No one also has a problem with the Electross line not being water type despiteing eels, because just being electric type makes sense for them.
      Also, I never said dragon type makes sense, because there is actual evidence for it to make sense. I only have the problem with the psychic typing because it makes no sense in lore, in dex entries, and the only reason it's psychic type is because the programmers wanted it to be.
      2. "Move Set". Lugia has more normal type moves than water and flying combined. 19. Even if I combined water, flying, and psychic to play devil's advocate, those 3 combined make up 14.
      You bring up Rhydon learning surf as a counterargument. Well both Rhydon and Rhyhorn learn no rock or ground moves naturally in Gen 1, and only learns them through TMs/HMs like surf.
      3. You are straight up telling me it's based on a sea god, and you somehow think it makes no sense for it to be water type.
      Do You honestly think hydrokenisis means psychic type? You know, HYDRO, Greek for WATER. You are telling me, it can only use its psychic powers, on water, when every time we seen any form of telekinesis in the anime, it can interact with anything.
      4. "It uses telepathy."
      Since you used the defense of tentacruel being able to use telepathy is because it knows psychic moves. The only psychic move it naturally learns is barrier, a +2 for defense. The other 2: reflect, which is used on 70+ non-psychic Gen 1 pokemon, and rest, which only 6 Pokemon CAN'T learn rest.
      I'm not even going to touch the fact that there are multiple cases of legendaries being able to communicate with humans.
      You dare say flying has no evidence, but say psychic makes sense. You are the first person who thinks Lugia's flying type is BS. Considering the fact you argue hydrokineses is an argument against Lugia being a water type and proof for it making sense as a psychic type, it's not that surprising.
      Reasons flying type makes sense:
      1. Entries in Gen 2 confirm it's presess of storms, which is celebrated on in later dex entries. Thinks like it flying and it causes 40 day storms.
      2. Aeroblast is a flying type move and contains "Aero" which means air. And in this case air means flying type.
      3. It can fly. I know that's not the end all be all considering many poison/bug types can also fly, but considering it's you, I need to make it clear Lugia makes sense as a flying type.
      4. It can also learn the move fly.
      5. It learns more flying type moves naturally than psychic.

    I was a little disappointed that you didn’t give mention to my personal favorite plot twist in Pokemon: Nebby evolving into the boxart legendary! I was SHOCKED! Before then, legendaries NEVER evolved. When Nebby was in what Lillie called a weakened state and the poor thing had literally been tortured, I thought when we played the flute at the Altar of the Sun/Moon, the box legendary would arrive and use its power to restore Nebby to its original form. I never imagined that it would evolve into Solgaleo/Lunala!
    Also, while I didn’t see Cynthia’s ancestor turning against us, I did kinda have a feeling from somewhat early on that SOMEONE would betray us, since every Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game has a betrayal at some point

      @IceFireofVoid หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Not to mention how it's probably the darkest storyline in a Pokemon game when it comes to its themes. It is, at its core, a story about child abuse. The main villain was so obsessed with aliens that she neglected and hurt her children until they both ran away. Team Skull's leader was literally physically beaten by his own dad throughout his childhood. Team Skull as a whole serves as a sort of found family for kids who were failed by the systems in place in their society, which is why Nanu isn't actually bothered to do anything about them. And it's even in the legendaries. Nebby and Type:Null both have their evolutions tied to their trauma and healing. The theme of abuse is in every aspect of the story. I'm legitimately surprised Gamefreak was willing to make a story about that.

      It's gonna be lengthy, but TLDR at the bottom.
      I like to think that Volo was influenced/ brainwashed or even possessed by Giratina to carry out its will, especially towards and during the final battle. His end-game actions don't line up with everything else he did before. I personally think that he genuinely is as kind and friendly as he appears, and definitely a fast learner, given how quickly he understood how Pokeballs worked despite them being a recent invention.
      Giratina gave him the ghost plate as a reminder of their pact (maybe a "Help me, help you" situation?) and sensing his frustration towards Arceus, the deity he worshipped, not stopping the tragedy that befell him when it very well could have. We don't know how long ago it was, so Volo very much could've been a child/ teen. He also could've had noble intentions of wanting to meet Arceus besides his satisfying his curiosity, such as maybe undoing the tragedy that befell him. Giratina used that wish, twisted it into an obsession, and made him follow its own desires of overthrowing Arceus instead, potentially subtly manipulating him over several years until the events of the game, letting him believe that Giratina's thoughts and desires were his own. Legendary Pokémon have shown to either be as intelligent as humans or even more so. I'm not saying that Giratina is flat-out evil, just so hellbent on revenge that it's willing to do anything in its power. At least during the game.
      When he started laughing after revealing Giratina's existence to Akari/Rei, it might have been Giratina exerting more control over him and either Giratina laughing through him or him just trying to cope with the pressure it exerted over him. Him going absolutely raving mad was him succumbing to Giratina's control and being a bit more than a mouthpiece for it, coming to a head when he summoned it to his side.
      After he and Giratina finally are defeated and Volo gives Akari/Rei the plate, he was freed from its possession but still was influenced by its lingering power, hence him lashing out again when seeing the Azure Flute and leaving afterwards. Akari/Rei went on to catch Giratina and quell its rage. We don't know what happened to Volo. Given that Giratina is flat out stated to be an "eldritch presence," it's not unlikely that it takes a bit of time to properly come down from that insanity. Or he fully embraced his broken mind. Pokémon Masters reveals that Volo has severe trust issues from being betrayed by former friends/family/colleagues and believes "Use them before they use you."
      Tl;dr: Giratina could've controlled Volo instead of the other way around, and Volo was more of a protagonist in a cosmic horror story than a flat-out villain, and he needs some serious therapy.

    Nothing you brought up for Gen 3 is a plot twist though. We're told we have a dad at the start of the game and Team Aqua/Magma being "Good" when not the Evil Team of the game is just a matter of inconsistency and perspective. The only real plot twist is that Wally is your "True Rival" and it was awful because from what I've heard, literally no one even remembered him when he came back, and you only fight him once prior to the confrontation at Victory Road. Oh and Wallace being Champion in Emerald.
    The Best Plot Twist in Gen 4 is that Cyrus isn't 50. The Worst Plot twist is that Cyrus is 20.
    Actually... No yeah, you're right about the worst. The Everstone Haunter was the worst Plot Twist in Gen 4.
    Gen 5's best Plot Twist is that N is actually hella chill, he's just been manipulated the whole time. It's worst is the fact that Ghetsis escaped after BW.
    Also... N is apparently 20??
    Honestly as much as I hate Volo, he did have the single best twist in the entire franchise. The clues are so subtle, but when you know what to look for it becomes so painfully obvious that you wonder how you missed it the first time. It's not a "oh this came out of nowhere" twist, it's hinted from the second you MEET Volo, but it's hidden just enough to not be obvious, and that's why, while I hate him personality-wise, his plot twist is unironically the franchise's greatest.

    The worst Gen VII plot twist in my opinion is the fact that Lillie, Lusamine, and Gladion are related. I mean, anyone who isn’t colorblind can come to that conclusion before it was revealed in the Aether Paradise trip after Ula Ula.

    I'm glad to see Sun/Moon, PLA and S/V's stories get some appreciation. Pokemon stories have always ranged from non-existent to bad to kinda mediocre in terms of RPG storylines, but those 3 games actually managed to be legitimately good stories. The entire Area Zero segment is my favorite story moment in the franchise. The atmosphere, twists I legitimately didn't see coming, amazing music and that amazing final fight.

    3:15 Actually, there’s a bit of it. Throughout the game there’s mention of “A boy 3 years ago” when team rocket’s past defeat is brought up. You can also visit his house in pallet town where his mom mentions him. There’s also a little bit more in HGSS if for some reason you decide to grind for it that early, after calling Blue a few times, he mentions Red.
    It’s still one of my favorite battles in the series BECAUSE of how little he gets brought up. Literally a living legend by the games standards.

    My favorite part about Keiran catching Terapagos is the foreshadowing of him having that Master Ball. He was the champion of the Blueberry Academy, and when you beat him and become the champ, you are given a Master Ball. None of his pokemon are in a Master Ball so it implies he hasn't used it yet

    What I loved most about gen 9 is that Nemona's already a champion and only uses weaker pokémon to fight you alongside your journey. For most pokémon games, it always seemed as though your rival was entirely in your shadow at all times, and most served no purpose other than being your rival.
    But Nemona was different. Not only was she already a meaningful character right from the start, she was also very willing to go through the whole journey again not because she had to but because of you. To fight you on an even level, to help you grow. Finally a rival didn't feel like they were depending on my growth entirely. Finally a rival achieves something that's not traced back to me.

    Wallace being Champion in Emerald surprised many people. I'm guessing that many people had no idea that Game Freak actually wanted Wallace to become Hoenn League Champion, not Steven. If you think about it, it makes sense. Many of Wallace's Pokémon are super effective against most of Steven's Pokémon.

    If we take USUM by itself, without the context of SM, the Necrozma being an antagonist wasn't a plot twist. Game was pretty blunt with the Necrozma situation most of the way through.
    Ultra Necrozma was still a great plot twist
    Edit: The marketing was at least somewhat blunt with Necrozma being the antagonist as well

    The fact that the Haunter trade in Scarlet and Violet wasn’t a scam is in itself a big plot twist because we were all expecting Blossom to scam us like Mindy did in Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl. Another thing I think probably shocked a lot of people is the fact that Arceus isn’t shiny locked in BDSP.
