Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out!

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 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

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.

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.

"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.

If ever a shark attacks you, just punch it in the face.

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.

One reason I love your videos is you do so much research! I love learning new things and this is a fun way to learn new stuff. Your editing is great too.

[@lexijade4011]

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.

15:45 Clauncher and Clawitzer are based off of pistol shrimp

[@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 comment was a predecessor for things to come.

And then Corsola died.

I thought you were gonna talk about the pokemon community.

[@cool23819]

lol same

[@diegobrando2086]

The Lion Squad, so basically the entire national dex thing

[@sleepy990]

@@diegobrando2086 that yeah, but more of the graphics debate

[@diegobrando2086]

The Lion Squad, so Sword and Shield as a whole

[@PKMNResearcherSkyler]

Same, though I'm glad it's a normal video

[@shawnwest2589]

I love your videos and especially loved this one since I've fallen in love with aquarium keeping (I really only use youtube to watch your channel and fish keeping channels primarily) though I did want to point out that there are actually freshwater rays too even though the ones used for those pokemon are saltwater

[@sevedemaar4810]

I've heard something about that it says in magikarps pokedex entry that it can live in any environment

[@marlonknockaert3233]

These videos are always so professional and its impressing how much work and thought goes into these videos. Im learning facts and still being involved with pokemon. I love your channel man

Quote Of The Day: "This kills the fish"

[@baddragonite]

Cmon man Clowitzer is a pistol shrimp which looks kinda lobstery *pushes up glasses*

[@Minohorse]

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.

[@thatnytedaez9445]

Thanks for using your gnoggin for me, Lockstin! Seriously though, I feel like your content is getting even better! Keep it uuuuuup!

[@actionhero2328]

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.

[@KrakenLatte]

I love your vids. I love Pokemon, but I also love learning new things. You've got something educational in every vid you make. Thank you!

[@scarredchild]

Quilfish is first caught in the river below the town where Sprout Tower is, so fresh water. 🐟

[@Scientin]

So now that you're done analyzing why every Pokemon is the Type that it is, I have two suggestions for videos you could do to continue the Type trend. 1. Looking at Pokemon who's Type doesn't really fit and thinking up which current typing might fit them better, and 2. Coming up with entirely new Pokemon types and possibly looking at what current Pokemon could fit them.

[@thedragonwarrior5861]

I like your ideas

[@glitchwolf1384]

"This kills the fish" is my new favorite meme, gonna take that frame and use it for something.

[@exstatik788]

Clawitzer isnt just based of any shrimp, but the pistol shrimp (snapping shrimp).

[@danielcurren2119]

Clawitzer and clauncher are based off the pistol shrimp, a saltwater shrimp that can boil water by snapping its claw so fast, it creates a cavitation bubble with a vacuum

[@DrakeLxng]

I felt like peeing after watching this

[@ChocoboKid216]

Craw fathers should be changed to craw daddies.

[@mira55x-planetnalzena15]

what about Mudkip's line? they're based off Mudskippers which thrive on muddy coast lines or something from what I can remember and Mudskippers are able to trap water around their gills when they're moving around in the mud on land

[@HollywoodNeu]

This video was so damn fascinating that I forgot it was a pokemon video

[@giblew5368]

Wheres all the seal pokemon like spheal,seel and poplio and they are in salty

[@Zeuseus6609]

Those would be in the excluded 'Landlubbers' group

[@lordofninjas1]

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.

[@MrAuthor3DS]

Those are air-breathers, therefore salinity wouldn't matter for them.

[@qwopout7443]

You should do more psychology videos

[@nightlypiano4116]

Agreed

[@seiyuokamihimura5082]

Your "this kills the fish" bits had me rolling, now i really want you to make an episode purely about fish and what "kills the fish" lol

[@Toneill029]

15:47 pistol shrimp, those tho are based off of pistol shrimp. They kill with bubbles dude freaking bubbles and it’s amazing.
