Throwing away Chick's. What stupid people

[@jakeriese4862]

Thanks

[@THGMR-ox7sd]

7:21 It's funny how blaziken doesn't get hate for being humanoid but things like incineroar do.

[@teno777]

It does get hate though, just Incineroar more so.

[@AkaiAzul]

I think the reason for the hatred is design exhaustion at that point. Gen 1 and 2: All animaloid. Gen 3: Blaziken Gen 4: Infernape Gen 5: Emboar Gen 6: All the starters. Gen 7: Inceinoar

[@YukisNation]

​@@AkaiAzuli dont dislike blaziken or infernape because they are based on animals that realistically have some humanoid features. A chicken being on all fours would be weird. And monkeys often stand and walk bipedaly as well. Emboar and Incenaroar have no reason to be on 2 legs. It's a boar and a cat. They are quadropedal.

[@Orangeninja5000]

Blaziken was the one that really started it. And it still looks feral and intimidating enough for me. Incineroar is Tony the fucking Tiger if he found a second job.

[@chorizord6974]

​@@YukisNation yeah but those animals aren't on fire irl so what's your point?

[@MajorMimik]

Pretty sure that fact about Blaziken was specifically meant only for Blaziken. There was nothing that implied it was for all starter going forward, and doesn’t even make sense for some of the starters that came with and after gen 3.

[@M_Alexander]

So the Avalugg and Lilligant middle evolutions were nixed but Pawmo made the cut?

[@VoidHearted]

I believe the reason for Ghetsis’s disability is that he was attacked by his Hydreigon. It’s canon that he is incredibly abusive to it, and a couple dragon type moves like dragon breath cause paralysis.

[@ShayTheValiant]

Miraidon is technically chrome in its shiny, not white, as are all of the future Paradox Pokémon. Koraidon and Miraidon being black and white in their shiny colours are probably just a coincidence.

[@NatalieSmith-he1nj]

I think the starters being designed to slightly disappoint makes sense as it then encourages the player to try new pokemon rather than relying on their starter

[@Yoshigamingchannel]

But that’s just your opinion not everybody thinks a certain starter is underwhelming, I think cinderace is awesome but a lot of people think it’s underwhelming and not that good so one opinion isn’t fact

[@NatalieSmith-he1nj]

@@Yoshigamingchannel I get where you are coming from. I was more referring to a games design standpoint rather than any specific problems I may or may not have with starters. Hell meowscadara is one of my favourite pokemon of all time.

[@RoyArkon]

I think it's the opposite, I think that the idea making us feel disappointment on purpose is to make us have a connection with the Pokemon themselves. Even though that the real world they are just fictional characters in games, they probably want us to make us feel disappointed so we will have a more emotional connection to them, just like in the anime. Ken Sugamori said all of that in relation to the painted chicks that get abounded, so maybe he and GF/Nintendo/TPC wanted us the players to feel the pain of the Pokemon, to realize that this new power that they got via evolution isn't something to be taken for granted.

[@Yoshigamingchannel]

@@NatalieSmith-he1nj Oh okay even though I like some of the recent starters I still hope they go back to more animal starters later

[@Co2nerds]

I don’t think they wanted to disappoint people, but I think they wanted to push the boundaries and change some peoples views and personally I think blaziken and inceneroar are sick even delphox and intelleon are pretty cool but cinderace and quaquaval aren’t so good. I think a lot of people really love blaziken and infernape etc. like me so I think it worked. I really love greninja and he is one of the most popular starters ever created, probably second to charizard. meowscarada is sick and even emboar is pretty cool. lucario became one of the most popular designs ever. ceruledge and armourage are 2 of the most popular designs in gen 9. not everyone is going to agree obviously but it opened up a new niche for people who accept and really like certain human like Pokémon designs

[@Daniel_Coffman]

Possibly one reason for the Pokemon being meant to disappoint us is sort of testing Pokemon fans' love of the creatures themselves; much as when chicks grow up and aren't as cute, we naturally encounter a test of our own love for the animal itself beyond its fleeting cuteness.

[@sergiovergaramontemiranda2116]

Shout out to those investigatiors. Like those guys named a animal with a pokemon name because their similarities and fan love. What a couple of chads

[@SphealTV]

I actually did not know about the money trading bit 😆

[@vegetamegadisk]

You ever hear someone’s opinion and just say that’s wrong lol this guys videos in a nutshell.

[@omegashadows9376]

I feel the xy fact isn't that bergmite hard a middle Evo, but that it evolved into something and avvalug was a stand alone thing at one point. And the legendary/mythical could have been the eternal floette

[@RoyArkon]

I think that the idea of making us feel disappointment on purpose is to make us have a connection with the Pokemon themselves.

I know it sounds outrageous and I might just overthinking this, but I believe that this is the case.

[@toumabyakuya]

No, you are just overthinking it. Sugimori was just talking about the Torchic line there, why would this imply anything for the rest of the starters?.

[@chrishandsome6542]

Exactly. 10 year olds don't think that indepthly. Unless they are already showing narcissistic traits. No child will ever think on a theory like that.

[@RoyArkon]

@@toumabyakuyaBecause they are all Pokemon at the end of the day, that's not hard to figure out dude. Like Sugamori said, they wanted to push the boundaries for all Pokemon, and if it is in Pokemon, then it is a Pokemon.

[@toumabyakuya]

@@RoyArkon Yeah, but then he went and talked specifically about the Torchic line. To take anything he said about the Torchic line and say that he's talking about all Pokemon in general is quite a reach.

[@RoyArkon]

@@toumabyakuya Actually no, that's the opposite, he first talks about the Torchic line specifically and then he talks about Pokemon in general, watch the video again dude.

[@timv82]

While I did know some of these things the majority of them were new to me, which is great since usually when I watch these types of Pokémon videos I am rarely surprised with new facts since I am a big time poke-nerd, well done!

[@KeeganSablan]

10 facts, second one is speculation

[@vontheunknown7982]

All Pokemon games are Legends of Their own tales 😌

[@RoyArkon]

110% true dude.

[@criixt]

What's crazy is every gen gym badges are pretty memorable and have iconic designs. I honestly don't remember if SV had any badges. All i remember is after beating a gym leader or team star leaders, all it was, was a selfie with said gym/team star leader.

[@aidenjai6714]

The badges were in the corners of those selfies

[@To-New-Beginnings.]

One thing I noticed while repaying Pokemon White recently. If you head into the Nacrene Museum, there's a giant mask on one side, if you interact with it, it mentions how it was once used in Ancient Festivals. Could that be a hint to The Teal Mask? 😉

[@lipika2841]

I learned that from 1 of the recent videos of Birdkeeper Toby. It's really cool.

[@To-New-Beginnings.]

@@lipika2841 I forgot about him. Lmao.

[@dwightdeisenhower53]

7:21 I can see it now: the fourth pokemon in gen 10 announced will be: A F*cking Human

[@brunette3cookie]

I reject the Gen 7 Mega Evolution entries. I refuse to believe Steven is going around helping you torture Lati@s, the final evolution of his favorite Pokemon and his ace, and your starter. He would never.

[@seanmoser1433]

I just got my plushie today so yay for a new video!

[@ob400mH]

I thought I was going to click-baited or fed super obscure useful facts but THESE ARE AWESOME -- give some awesome design insights of the games 👀

[@gywii]

I didn't know. So much stuff is popping up all the time about Pokemon. It's nuts.

@@H3XM4N1AC Haha alright

[@TheCorey1734]

5:11 honestly, I feel like this could also be referencing the Blaze ability.

[@BiggieCrescent]

Yeah it actually makes sense to make the Starters disappointing, so that players won't try so hard to gravitate so much towards the starters and only use them, especially because that's what a lot of young children will probably do

[@jadethegingergoblin718]

Great. I'm as old as Professor Birch. 😂

[@RJS2003]

I'm telling ya, the Unova signs are absolutely everywhere. Something BIG and Gen 5 related is coming! And knowing Game Freak I don't want whatever it is to release for like ten years because holy moly they need every second of dev time they can scratch at. Unless it's an ILCA game of course, if so then just pump it out, slap it onto store shelves, I couldn't care less about whatever they're doing...

[@bewearstar9462]

Takato unumia said they would slow down development

[@RJS2003]

@@bewearstar9462 Did he really? Sounded more like corporate non-speak to me. He never truly acknowledged there was any issue. It basically just boiled down to "Yes, we do release games relatively quickly on a sort of fixed pattern. That is it. Oh well!" Hoping and praying we won't get a Gen 10 announcement until at least 2026 but I'm not exactly optimistic.

[@bewearstar9462]

@RJS2003 he said they were broken games and that they would take more time to make game from now on

[@RJS2003]

@@bewearstar9462 We're talking about that statement from TPC COO guy, right? Because that's what that was saying. If you're not talking about that then I don't know what you're referring to.

Nice job! I did not know the facts shared here for gen 1, gen 4, BW1, gen 6, SM, SWSH, and BDSP. Dude Crasher Wakes og mask looks soo awesome. You got to love the amount of love and attention to detail GF gave PLA. Excellent game.

[@joltx9909]

[@lipika2841]

19:10 popular w people you say... for reasons? 0:54 yes, Im 1 of those intelligent experts in Pkmn & you can definitely trust about that fact. The right sides of Kyurem & Ghetsis being disfigured is like Nemo's (Finding Nemo) lucky fin, a name for his damaged fin from the childhood incident.

20:00 Byron looks familiar to someone to me.

What will the new unova games be called on Pokémon day 2024?

[@user-oc2lf9fo7g]

I had made a post in facebook few months ago about koridon and miraidon's shiny being black and white could mean some what gen 5

[@aidenjai6714]

It makes sense, especially because every future mon got a silvery shiny except for koraidon who they deliberately made white instead

Pokécrypto

[@josephchambers4509]

Number three is such a bad take... he clearly means he wanted to replicate the painted chick phenomenon with torchic. So in Japan kids buy a cute painted chick and then as it grows up it becomes less cute and they're disappointed. Inspired by this very particular situation he designed combusken and blaziken as radical departures from torchic's cute design. I don't know how you can simply apply that design philosophy to every humanoid starter. And let's have it right, we keep getting humanoid starters because people love them or at the very least really love certain ones. Yes there are a loud majority of online fans who are bored with them but ask any kid who their favorite starter is and I bet they say something like Blaziken, Cinderace, Greninja, etc.

[@loganbritton6737]

it takes real stupid for someone to interpret the blaziken anecdote that way

[@TheShinyDot]

Video titled “Pokémon Facts” 98% of “Facts” are assumptions 😂

[@alexvickrey]

first!

[@adismemisevic1470]

I do love pokemon, but it may be time to hire a team of artists because there have been some really bad ones lately. Also shiny pokemon need to be made not generated this ain't gen 2 anymore.

[@toumabyakuya]

For the former, as the old saying goes: "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". What might be bad for you might be good for somebody else. For the latter, seeing how many Pokemon they have per gen, yeah no, I don't think this is feasible at all.

[@a.x.x8184]

Gen 3 have humaniod starters, Started friendly rival trend but the rival leaves mid game, no story, bland NPCs, Soft reboot of gen 1 aka Swalot line being like Grimer, Literally to much water the only large landmass is crammed into left side of map while the entire right side is water boring……and there’s a whale 🐳 legendary. Yeah buddy take your nostalgic glasses off bc newer gens are no different 😂

[@Mystmon]

It honestly sounds like they are 'generating' the Shinies now as well. No human would possibly have had the audacity to give Armarouge and Ceruledge the unjust, pathetic excuses of Shinies that they have.
