[@deerlydeparted56]

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 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.

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.

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.

[@pokelolmc6826]

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.

[@pokelolmc6826]

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).

[@pokelolmc6826]

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.

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. :)

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.

[@Wandergirl108]

@@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.

[@MMDAMV]

@@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.

[@testerwulf3357]

@@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.

[@robertomachin8914]

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 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.

Just letting you know there's plenty of freshwater shrimp, like Cherry and Amano shrimp. Plenty also live in brackish, they aren't purely saltwater.

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]

lordofninjas1 there are also seals in brackish and even in freshwater. Google is your friend.

[@lordofninjas1]

@@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.

Fun fact: both wooper AND quagsire are based on axolotls, sloped is obvious but many don't know that quagmire is one to, cause if you give an axolotl a type of chemical it will lose its gills (the weird cheek things) and look like a very small quagsire. Guess why I know this

[@sitten1115]

Eh, quagsire is much more likely based on the giant Japanese salamander. The mole salamander type body axolotl get is much less chubby than the giants. And wooper could them just be a baby salamander because the reason axolotl look like that is because they (normally) never morph to the adult form. All salamanders start out with those little external gills. (Yes i know this comment is a year old but science!)

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).
