@@LeafarBlade Oh but there are a lot more than that, just pay a little bit of attention
The "snarl" part of Grimmsnarl's name probably references the term in relation to hair or fur, where a snarl basically means a knot or tangled mass of hair, moreso than the more common use of the word that refers to a growl. Or perhaps both meanings went into it, since it's a big growling beast but also covered in hair.
@@dumbmonkey1313 yeah, and hatterene's body is mostly hair like grimmsnarl, not to mention their both fairy types, attack with hair, and will most likely kill you.
Elementman EXE & they can both sense negative emotion in some way. Hattrene avoids the negative emotion, while Grimmsnarl (or at least Impidimp) feeds on it.
I'm surprised there isn't any Hatterene r34 in the thumbnail. Must've been very difficult for Lockstin to resist using some for that sweet sweet clickbait.
It's funny when people do r34 of Hatterene considering her actual body is only a handful of inches tall. She never actually "grows taller" when she evolves, her hair just gets so long and powerful that she supports herself with it. Look up "Hatterene real body", it's actually kinda weird. Looks like a little grey alien.
Didn't mention how "Indeedee" comes from the phrase "Yes indeed-y" which is something a maid might say, akin to "yes sir" and the like. Basically it's very agreeable and does what you tell it to do.
Imma just....put this here too... Gossifleur can also come from the word "gossamer" which means "something extremely light, flimsy, or delicate." Morpeko can also be seen as "more peckish", peckish being a common phrase used to describe being hungry and....well...more...also could be "morbid" and is "morbidly peckish" which would explain the swapping to dark type. And let's not forget that pica exists, which is kinda similar sounding to peko...
I bet there’s a connection between Hatterene and Grimmsnarl. Hatterene being a fairy witch is very much related to Morgan le Fay. This goes further in that her G-Max form is referred to as a goddess. Morgan is sometimes depicted as a goddess as well. Grimmsnarl and his line may be then based of the Green Knight from the poem, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Morgrem’s bow, it turning green, and evolving into something completely green all references this poem.
They’re obviously a pair of Pokemon Next to each other in the pokedex, both fairy, one with dark and one with psychic which are a duo of types, both 3 stage evolutions at the same levels, both have gigantamax, one used by bede, one by Marnie It’s preeeetty obvious
Shoutouts to Crawmarant's Japanese name. 'u u'. As in: the sound of shoving food down your throat. Also Polteaguist. 'Pottodesu', literally "it's a teapot". Oh and Stonejourner is good to: 'Ishihenji'. Literally the Japanese word for Stone 'ishi' then 'Henge'. It's just called Stonehenge. The Japanese team were on point this gen.
@@TheDemonHelios Reminds me, that it's pre-Evolution Sinistea is called "Fatalitee" in German, as in "Fatality" (i.e. a Casualty) and "Tee" (german for "Tea"). (the german Translators had a lot of fun with the Translations) Still a pretty morbid Name for a Pokémon.
Ok but that Eternatus/Thanos meme is making me think of something where in 5 years the next Pokemon game is going to be about the pc going back in time to different generations to collect various legendary pokemon related artifacts and undo the Eternatus's culling of the pokedex, and it's going to end with Red going "..." and dying.
One more possible layer to Cufant that explains why this is in Galar: the London pub (and Underground station) Elephant & Castle is believed by some to be a corruption of L’Enfant de Castille, the Infant of Castille, thus bringing the elephant and infant references together in a uniquely British obsessed-with-mispronouncing-foreign-words way.
I feel that the "oot" in Raboot may also be derived from the word "soot". Scorbunny = scorch. After you scorch something, what's left is soot (Raboot) and cinder (Cinderace).
Yep, its whole evolution sounds like the cycle of a mad scientist: Blipbug looks like an average nerd, with glasses and tie, Dottler is an advanced radar, so its intelligence grows while he's doing nothing, and Orbeetle got so intelligent that he developed psychic powers and is able to even control minds. The G-max is probably how he became so tech, that he became an UFO to travel in space.
“Snom” also has a corruption of the word “worm” in it, as it’s a silkworm. Y’know, not an actual worm, but a caterpillar famous for its role in silk production... where the caterpillar has to get boiled to death to yield said silk... Oh dear. No wonder they’re 4x weak to Fire...
The four stages of Orbeetle appreciation: 1) This thing looks kinda weird... might keep it as the d20... 2) Oh its Gmax turns it into a UFO! That's pretty cool. 3) OH so its head is like a supercomputer disguised as a ladybug! That's awesome! 4) IT SPELLS ORBITAL
I learned to appreciate it through it's pre-evolutions. Dottler is probably the coolest imo, the Doppler radar pun is great, and if you've ever seen a ladybug pupae, they actually look surprisingly like Dottler. They even made the little "hairs" on the front that are used to stick to leaves/branches into whiskers, which is adorable.
Nico Dalusong it really is a Gundam. It has the Gundam crest for goodness sake. Zygarde Perfect form is also a Gundam. Or really any other super robot.
I think Yamper also includes “yam” which is British slang for eat. It’s a cute pudgy boyo it must eat a lot. There is an album by a UK punk rock band called Toxtricity. May be a double entendre given Toxtricity’s a punk rocker, or could just be a coincidence since it’s an obvious portmanteau.
Or perhaps jargon. I know that a yam is a type of vegetable (root?). That has to do with eating, but you don't usually feed yams to dogs and they're not native to England.
bonesy McJay I’ve also lived in the UK my entire life and have heard it plenty even if I don’t really use it myself 😛 It’s very much a southern, working class thing but it’s a pretty widely used word in those groups.
The hatenna line all have sonophobia and are on the spectrum which is why they really don't like noise and intense emotion, and also why they act in "the wrong way" in those situations. That concludes my TED talk.
I feel like Obstagoon additionally comes from obstinate which is "stubbornly refusing to change one's opinion or chosen course of action, despite attempts to persuade one to do so."
I mean it's a region that based on England so most of the names are straight up puns on english. i mean if you've seen any street name in London, most of them are straight up just taken from a dictionary.
I take offense to that. We have word name streets too: common ones like Main Street and Wall Street, streets named after trees (Oak, Chestnut, Juniper, etc), and ones named after famous people (Martin Luther King Boulevard).
8:09 Me and my friend also have a bit of a slant meaning for that one, as Eiscue has all the same letters as the Irish (also called Irish Gaelic) word Uisce, meaning water which is what ice becomes when it melts.
5:40 I really have to correct you there. The Brothers Grimm didn't write all the stories, they collected them and combined them into a book. The stories themselves already existed and were told through out the generations. Well if with "write" you meant the creation of the fairy tales.
It's Pokdex description implies sojourner is the correct inspiration. It says they wander around, but for a short time every year, they all gather in one spot (presumably what makes the Pokemon universe's version of the actual stonehenge). Sojourners can stay in one place, but they're also wanderers without any real home. Like Stonhourner!
Fun fact about Sirfetch'd: I see a lot of people making jokes about female Sirfetch'ds. "Sir" is traditionally not gender-related. Only through a lot of misunderstanding and mistranslation did it become that way. Originally, you'd call for a knight by saying "Ser!", which meant "Come here!". Since most knights were usually men, the word evolved to refer primarily to men over a long enough time, even know it's technically gender-neutral. I mean, hell, even in the military, we use "Sir" to refer to both men and women.
totally thought Morgrem was supposed to be Mordred because i thought of his hair being used as a weapon and thought of how Mordred stabbed king pellinore's son
I used to think scorbunnys name was unoriginal. But score and scorch combined with bunny is actually pretty clever. These names are all pretty creative actually.
Nice, the 3 fundamental colours of subtractive mixture of colour stimuli. The 2 legendaries which we already have look terrible though. What a waste of a great idea. Oh, wait! Eternatus is apparently a legendary too. It may not fit into the same pattern but its design looks better than the design of the other two. It's just too bad that they were too lazy with its German name, "Endynalos". The "dyna" comes from "dynamax". They literally named a Pokemon after a game mechanic! Wow...
Durandal is the thing I first thought of when I saw the name, so at least you're not alone and it's possible. The sword gets referenced in a lot of Japanese-made western-style-fantasy media, especially video games.
That last joke was hilarious. “How much did it cost” “Half the dex”. Which I’m not mad at, I wish there were more but at the same time I’d have hated trying to fill the Pokédex I’d every Pokémon was in it.
Betting they'll add more of the dex as dlc later despite saying that it wasn't technically possible at the time with the animations. Even without the other mons this gen feels lacking to me.
The snarl in Grimmsnarl's name probably also refers to the fact that its hair is tightly woven around its body like muscle fibers, because "snarl" is also a term used for a bunch of tangled up and knotted hair.
I've NEVER heard someone say "vulpes" like that. You always say the "es", like "ess" or "ez" depending on a person's accent. Latin doesn't really have silent letters.
Video idea Lockstin. Take the most complex names you've gone through in this series and compile it into 1 video. "the 50 most complex names in Pokémon"
5:36 I think his name also has something to do with "Grimnir" a german/norse name for Odin And "Grímnismál" wich is an epic poem (Edda) talking about norse mythology P.S Grímnismál means "The ballad of Grímnir" (I think so)
I'm not even English and I was extremely confused by what point he was making because in only the "skw" part of skwovet sounds like "squirrel" and it isn't pronounced particularly differently in various accents.
@@mastermarkus5307 The skw in the pronunciation of squirrel was right though, we pronounce squirrel as "skw-irrel" instead of "skwurl" but thats definitely not what he said xD
@@coroflame8098 I'm aware. My point is that both start with "skw" and neither pronunciation really sounds more or less like "skwovet" because of how different that second syllable is from either "-irrel" or "-url". But yeah, whatever his point, he butchered the hell out of that word.
I think Dubwool may also derive from a cutesy way of saying the ball, ("da bwall!"), as Wooloo and Dubwool have some soccer ball influences (wooloo rolls, dubwool has spots similar to soccer ball patterns)
To add to this: Dubwool's Japanese name is "Baiuru", which is a combination of bai (double) and wool but also sounds like the English word "ball" with a Japanese accent
Alternative for Drizzile that I noticed while messing with the models earlier this week: projectile. He throws what seems to be water balloons or bombs, ergo projectiles.
@@TornaitSuperBird take a look at the fictional stealth fighter the x-02 wyvern, it has missiles in not the exact same, but fairly unique to remind me of that mon
Useless fact of the day, the imp picture they used for impidimp at 4:56 is actually from the mobile game Brave Frontier, one of ym favorite mobile games out there, i just want more people to play the damn thing ;-;
Oh god brave frontier I remember back when they introduced 6 stars.... Now you guys have what? 8 stars? The power creep is unreal from what I've seen and can be grindy as all hell
@@MetronaJ yeah 8 stars called Omni evolution and they went even further slightly with omni+ that can increase stats and stuff without actually having to make new sprites but honestly the worst part is just that they aren't really doing much besides crossover events since brave frontier 2 came out...
I also thought that Skwovet sounds like saying "scoff it", the act of quickly eating or putting a lot in your mouth. Which is what the Pokemon looks like it is doing with its cheeks and it's nature, sees food and will scoff it.
You know say what you want about the games (And there’s plenty to say there) but you have to admit game freak does not hold back when it comes to the creation of new Pokémon
nope but dont get attached theyll all be gone next generation when the release pokemon charizard and pokemon charizard but with a different color charizard.
I’m surprised you didn’t talk more about Morpeko. Everyone pronounces it like More-Pee-KOh, notice how the “pek” sounds similar to that of pikachu, but since it has the ability hunger switch, it would be pronounced as More-peck-oh. It’s a combination of the words morph and peckish. Morph meaning to change smoothly. Peckish meaning hungry.

XXXEmpoleon And it's literally a ghost that smashes dishes and teapots into your face
Your Polteagist evolved into Fatalitea
(That name sounds like a final evolution for Sinistea)
Guru if Polteageist were to evolve that should be its evo name
Note: Dubwool could be referring to the doublet, a garment typically worn in cold weather.
And maybe double as in it has two sets of two horns
And maybe a reference to the city of Dublin, Ireland

Also he pronounced it wrong.
That last joke was hilarious. “How much did it cost” “Half the dex”. Which I’m not mad at, I wish there were more but at the same time I’d have hated trying to fill the Pokédex I’d every Pokémon was in it.
regional dex and national dex wouldve fixed that.
I'm upset. Filling the Dex is my favorite part of Pokemon. :(
@@Doctors_TARDIS i have a full living dex in ultra moon. i know how you feel man.
Betting they'll add more of the dex as dlc later despite saying that it wasn't technically possible at the time with the animations. Even without the other mons this gen feels lacking to me.
@@deet917 GF specifically addressed that in an interview and said it won't happen. But they've lied before so...
Hatterene is one of the scariest Pokémon ever, and that’s saying something.
Scary? Why?
@@senseeilikoso821 bc of the Vibe Check
@@ElWeebDelBarri that is Hattrem..., Hatterene is the Silent Pokemon
Eiscue could also be ice+rescue, since your first reaction upon seeing it might be to "rescue" it by trying to break the ice block covering its head.
Thanatos isn’t the “God of death” he doesn’t kill them he just brings them to the underworld
""Thanatos was the Greek god of nonviolent deaths. His name literally translates to “death” in Greek.""
That is why he is the God of Death.
Not the God of Killing.
The snarl in Grimmsnarl's name probably also refers to the fact that its hair is tightly woven around its body like muscle fibers, because "snarl" is also a term used for a bunch of tangled up and knotted hair.
I've NEVER heard someone say "vulpes" like that. You always say the "es", like "ess" or "ez" depending on a person's accent. Latin doesn't really have silent letters.
Exactly
This person probably thought it was pronounced the way it is in French
Video idea Lockstin. Take the most complex names you've gone through in this series and compile it into 1 video.
"the 50 most complex names in Pokémon"
SO ME THINKING OF MORDRED WHEN HEARING MORGREM MAKES SENSE IF GOING WITH THE MORGAN LA FAY CONNECTION!
5:36 I think his name also has something to do with "Grimnir" a german/norse name for Odin
And "Grímnismál" wich is an epic poem (Edda) talking about norse mythology
P.S Grímnismál means "The ballad of Grímnir" (I think so)
As someone from England I can safely say your pronunciation of squirrel in a British accent was horrible
Better yet, as someone from England I can safely say his pronunciation of squirrel was RUBBISH
He tried lol
I'm not even English and I was extremely confused by what point he was making because in only the "skw" part of skwovet sounds like "squirrel" and it isn't pronounced particularly differently in various accents.
@@mastermarkus5307 The skw in the pronunciation of squirrel was right though, we pronounce squirrel as "skw-irrel" instead of "skwurl" but thats definitely not what he said xD
@@coroflame8098 I'm aware. My point is that both start with "skw" and neither pronunciation really sounds more or less like "skwovet" because of how different that second syllable is from either "-irrel" or "-url".
But yeah, whatever his point, he butchered the hell out of that word.
As a French, hearing an archaic way of pronouncing "séjourner", just grinds my ears as well, so I feel you
Lockstin: The names are pretty straightforward, like Yungoos, it’s a young mongoose.
Me: what’s a mongoose
I think Dubwool may also derive from a cutesy way of saying the ball, ("da bwall!"), as Wooloo and Dubwool have some soccer ball influences (wooloo rolls, dubwool has spots similar to soccer ball patterns)
To add to this: Dubwool's Japanese name is "Baiuru", which is a combination of bai (double) and wool but also sounds like the English word "ball" with a Japanese accent
dubwool makes me dissapointed they didnt make a dubstep sheep.
It's name also sounds like a corruption of "dribble", which is to move/advance the ball in both football/soccer and basketball.
Dasawkem Idk why, but to me the name is kinda pronounced like football too
3:46 I named mine Coalem because they're basically golems (the pokemon) except coal.
English: its a cormorant, and it just crams food into its beak so the name is cramorant! German: urgl
Alternative for Drizzile that I noticed while messing with the models earlier this week: projectile. He throws what seems to be water balloons or bombs, ergo projectiles.
I thought that the "obsta" in "obstagoon" meant more like... obstinate
though i guess that doesnt make any less sense than obstacle
Come from the same root word
Yeah, he's said it was from "obstacle" basically since it released, but I immediately thought "it's from obstinate because of it's attitude, no?"
Both make sense, as it is called the “Blocking Pokémon” and is even making an X with its arms.
You could also have included Cute with Cufant - Cute Elephant.
Also i now imagine Clobbopus shouting: ITS CLOBBERING TIME, whenever its attacking.
"Tremolos are serene"
Surf Rock & Black Metal: Are we a joke to you?
Well thats the other tremolo
Bolthund could also come from "Hund" which is literally German for "Dog".
Bolthund are also based on greyhounds, so that too.
5:22 Nothing to do with Pokemon but now I know where Adventure Time got the idea during Finn's 17th birthday episode lol
16th
I was thinking Milcery also came from the word nursery. Because it's milk and little like a child. And kids in nurseries drink milk.
Score can also be in reference to carving with fire or a hot piece of metal.
9:11
Me: Hears the Word Thanatos.
Also Me: So this is the Thanos of Pokemon?
8:10 it could also be German for Ice “Eis” and Rescuse
*Rescue
That makes sense. The ice rescues it or it is rescued from the ice depending on the perspective.
Just to note: chickadees are not Corvids as they are not in the family Corvidae. They are actually in the Paridae family which is the same as bushtits
And titmice, and tits in general.
8:00 Why is that football there instead of a stone. That's even official size for peats sake!
But not official weight!
He didn't make it
8:40 that is not the draken! The J-35 draken has a double delta wing and no canards( small wing like things in front of the wing.)
I was thinking that Drakloak was physically based on a stealth drone more than a manned combat aircraft.
@@TornaitSuperBird take a look at the fictional stealth fighter the x-02 wyvern, it has missiles in not the exact same, but fairly unique to remind me of that mon
Those flaps are Appletun's EYES?? I thought they were it's ears.
Honestly, so did I!! 🤯
I think it would be really cool to see an Impidimp/Grimmsnarl focused video.
Morgrem would obviously be included too.
One thing: for Eiscue, you missed Eis, the german word for ice
So there is a Guinea Pig Pokémon that is constantly hungry, and is literally named “hungry guinea pig”
I just want to say that the outro you've been using lately, is really cool and it fits this channel very well.
With Raboot, there's also soot. As in, the bits of carbon sometimes left from a fire.
or rabbit foot.
a kind of good luck charm
For zacian and zamazenta it could be a combinaison of « okamī za » the wolf constellation in japanese ans their respective color 💁♂️
Stekel Stekel za-CY-an. That's how I'm pronouncing her name now.
Note that drizzile could also come from missile due to the way of pronunciation
6:37 It remembers me that gogo's crazy bones toys
Absolutely
Lockstin: Quiet. So qui-
-car screeches loudly to a stop in ad
Lockstin: so quiet...
Useless fact of the day, the imp picture they used for impidimp at 4:56 is actually from the mobile game Brave Frontier, one of ym favorite mobile games out there, i just want more people to play the damn thing ;-;
Oh god brave frontier
I remember back when they introduced 6 stars....
Now you guys have what? 8 stars? The power creep is unreal from what I've seen and can be grindy as all hell
@@MetronaJ yeah 8 stars called Omni evolution and they went even further slightly with omni+ that can increase stats and stuff without actually having to make new sprites but honestly the worst part is just that they aren't really doing much besides crossover events since brave frontier 2 came out...
*~ Pokémon:* _"Aight, Imma pun yo monstas ev'where!"_
Yes! I've been wondering when you'll do another one of these
I also thought that Skwovet sounds like saying "scoff it", the act of quickly eating or putting a lot in your mouth. Which is what the Pokemon looks like it is doing with its cheeks and it's nature, sees food and will scoff it.
You know say what you want about the games (And there’s plenty to say there) but you have to admit game freak does not hold back when it comes to the creation of new Pokémon
nope but dont get attached theyll all be gone next generation when the release pokemon charizard and pokemon charizard but with a different color charizard.
6:20 Cuf is also Hebrew for spoon
Ethan Masliansky And it has a spoon-shaped nose.
8:51 *ZA WARUDO*
*you*
*you get it*
i didn't even realize the "Go! Rillaboom!" pun until i watch this video. thank you so much
8:08 "Eis" means "ice" in German.
I just thought alcremie would be like "all creamy"
Cuz u know, it's all creamy?
Im gonna enjoy watching this video! I love your content!
Hoops and hip hop’s video: Walmart
Lockstins video: Gucci
Ya misspelled “Falinks” as Falinx
i just love how the squirrel picture on greedent's part is obese XD
So........
It look like the printer color theory is correct afterall.
I’m surprised you didn’t talk more about Morpeko. Everyone pronounces it like More-Pee-KOh, notice how the “pek” sounds similar to that of pikachu, but since it has the ability hunger switch, it would be pronounced as More-peck-oh. It’s a combination of the words morph and peckish. Morph meaning to change smoothly. Peckish meaning hungry.
"when you say the with a strong Japanese accent, it sounds like za."
**GASP, ZA WARUDO!!!**
LOCKSTIN IS DIO!!!
8:50
jojo fans: oh? youre approaching me?
8:46
Inner me: No, no, no, don't do it.
Me anyway: ZA WARUDOOOO
I will buy Pokémon shield in 2 days, so I will watch the video then.
pan psalt good luck in your adventure
