[@ferristhered1401]

The Team Star Squads share the traditional names of stars... in the Cassiopeia constellation. The bases are also laid out on the map in the shape of the constellation.

[@cameronweaver2013]

Ooh that's cool

[@TheGrossDemon]

Please that makes me love them more! Those kids had me crying but this little tidbit is everything and really bonds then together more.

[@charmishing]

I discovered it on accident. I thought Cassiopeia would be a Greek goddess and then saw the squad names in connection with the constellation

[@gustavju4686]

Yeah. It probably isn't a reference to LoZ's Navi at all. Else they would've put the Fairy Squad there...

[@TheFluffyTheropod]

And team star’s 5 squads are named after the 5 brightest stars in the Cassiopeia constellation

[@Articfoxgamez]

To the tinkaton thing: Squakabilly is safe because it's not steel type. Tinkaton only has this dislike for steel types due to them bullying the first evolution.

[@rjs4176]

Exactly. They're much smaller, less desirable prey and have no metal of which to speak of.

[@Kahadi]

Not quite. It's not Steel types that bully Tinkatink, it's Pokemon that eat metal. However, it is true that Tinkaton leaves Squakabilly alone because they aren't Steel types while they hunt Corviknight because they are. That's because, however, they take scrap metal for their hammers and nests, for Tinkatink to use to make and replace their own hammers. Corviknight's feathers are partly made of steel, thus it's typing, making it good prey for Tinkaton. Interestingly, the only Pokemon I can find that eat metal are Aron and Meltan, neither of which are found in Paldea. Makes me wonder what Pokemon keeps stealing Tinkatink hammers...

[@cervicalvertebrea]

they also hunt steel types to make their hammers stronger

[@fruit3193]

Also Tinkaton used the metal from Steel types to forge its hammer

[@LegendStormcrow]

@@Kahadi Considering that Corviknight are corvids, and corvids, crow and ravens in particular, love to snag shiny things. Shiny things like metal. It having metal feathers are a bonus for them.

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Not only is Tyme related to Ryme, Tyme is also the former Montenevera Gym leader! In the academy ace tournament, she specializes in Rock-types, which implies that the Montenevera Gym used to be a Rock-type Gym. A Team Star detail that I loved is how each Team Star squad boss uses Pokéballs that match their personalities! Giacomo uses Timer Balls because he's a DJ and timing is key, Ortega uses Luxury Balls because he's rich, Eri uses Heal Balls because she cares about protection, Atticus uses Repeat Balls because he's stuck in the past, and Mela uses Quick Balls because she's impatient and short-tempered.

[@TheLogangster4]

wow i noticed they all used special pokeballs but never really pieced it together

[@stevenhayes7910]

Idk how old the flying Pikachu playing card is, but flying Pikachu goes as far back as the original Pokemon Snap. He was so cute flying around with his balloons. ^_^

[@stevenhayes7910]

@@nochancewithoutpasta7637 He definitely surfed in the intro of Yellow. I don’t think he had the balloons, but it’s possible that I’m misremembering. I love Yellow so much.

[@anubisvel]

Yep! Both surfing and flying Pikachu were referenced in Pokémon Yellow’s intro.

[@Dkgow]

@@anubisvel That is because back in the day there was a specia. These distributions of Surfing Pikachu & Flying Pikachu were revealed in the September 1997 issue of CoroCoro Comics[1] (which was released on August 9, 1997) event for a Flying and Surfing Pikachu in Gen 1. This was when Pikachu was getting Popular before they released Yellow. This is why it was referenced in Yellow

[@TheLogangster4]

in US/UM a pikachu that knew fly was mentioned but unobtainable

[@snowblossom4961]

The Team Star squads are named after the five brightest stars in Cassiopeia!! I just think it’s neat :3

[@rjs4176]

In the case of Tinkaton I really don't think the type matchup matters. What matters is that they punt Corviknight out of the sky when they least expect it, and boy must it hurt.

[@Kahadi]

The type matchup doesn't matter, but the typing itself does. Tinkaton steals metal from everywhere, both for the line's nests and their hammers. And Corviknight's feathers are partly made of steel, making it a Steel type. Thus Tinkaton hunts Corviknight for their feathers.

[@xeartnexus3020]

I just assumed the bug tera teddi was a reference to how bears like honey. Disguising yourself as a bug type could help with that. Fits with his trainer too. She loves sweets.

[@BecauseImBatmanFilms]

Then could it be a reference to Winnie the Pooh who disguised himself as a bee to steel honey?

[@prostatecansir2783]

The "imagined pokemon" in the scarlet and violet books could be a reference to Zapmolcuno, a fusion of all three legendary birds that was introduced in the Pokemon Adventure manga.

[@lostfelinepiesh6917]

That was my first thought when I saw them too. It would be cool if they tied manga and game canon even if it was just in a small way.

[@holderofgold6764]

also my first thought xd

[@xaviermize4509]

Ain't that fusion called thufizer?

[@voraxine]

Koraidon / Miraidon learn new abilities through the game as they eat Herba Mystica (HMs) as in the old games.

[@jedhigh1443]

We collected herbs then had snacks. I loved that stoner quest line. Healing Pokémon with buds

[@natural8677]

🤯🤯🤯

[@TomsSauce]

The language teachers classes in particular made me so happy, I loved seeing the Altar of the Sunne on the board, though Laventon on the back of the History classes board was nice too

[@TheGrossDemon]

I really like language classes cuz they actually brought attention to the fact that pokemon dont just make one sound anymore and can actually emote to an expanding extent since the let's go feature was introduced. But that was also my least favorite part of the test and made the language final the only one I had to take multiple times lol

[@StickMaster500]

There’s also a potential hint towards Generation 10 at the start of the game where in your house, you can see a picture that mentions that “It’s depicts a beautiful town in a different region” with the image looking like it could come from either Italy or Greece. Potentially, it maybe referencing Italy since Iono's introduction are greetings from other languages for the UK, France, Spain and Italy and that's there's a leaning watchtower that's literally called "The Leaking Tower of Paldea".

[@CamKoudo]

I love how gen 9 just came out and we are already talking about gen 10 xD But these actually are some very valid points you bring up :O

[@Kahadi]

@@CamKoudo people speculate on future generation hints almost instantly. I believe people even speculated on gen 10's region before PLA was released...

[@nickdentoom1173]

Like i said before: Characters speaking a certain languague doesn't mean much, else we would have gotten Germany a long time ago since Looker talks German. Now, there are 2 towns clearly styled after 2 real life countries: Cascaffara is clearly Egypt inspired, while Artazon, with all its flowers, art and the windmill is clearly inspired by the Netherlands. If you go explore the academy, there is a statue resembling Albert Einstein, which also points to Germany. and then in BDSP, we have that Starry Nights inspired painting dotted into the houses in the region... which is Dutch inspired since its made by Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh.

[@TheUltima_Werewolf]

A region based on either Italy or France would be super cool. Or something like Lockstin's fan made region based on the Pacific Northwest

[@OtisCluck]

@@TheUltima_WerewolfKalos: “am I a joke to you?” (Kalos is based on France)

[@padraigconordenisbrazilcar4973]

Ik they have a digglet obsession but can we talk about meowth 2 2 regional forms, a new evo in gen 8. A gigantamax form. They even had these weird cutscenes where if you sleep in your house in alola, your moms meowth wakes u up and drops an awakaning on your head (which is so funny)

[@Nekoszowa]

Because Meowth is the anime's second mascot

[@scarredchild]

When I saw the bug gym Teddiursa, Winnie the Pooh came to mind. Especially because Teddiursa has its paws soaked in honey. My inner child was all ♥!

[@CatsRul85]

Some more fun facts- Clavell- Spanish for Carnation Raifort- French for Horseradish Jacq comes from the scientific name of the Zinnia (and in Japanese his name is Zinnia) Dendra- is a type of tree Miriam's JP name Mimosa is a plant Saguaro is a giant cactus Salvatore partly comes from the spanish for Sage. Tyme- Thyme Hassel - comes from Hassaku orange (admittedly pulled from bulbapedia but yeh)

[@cir0plus]

Arven could come from Arvensis, which is "specific epithet" of certain plants/ herbs. He is looking for specific "herbs" Penny, a coin, has "two sides to each story". She plays two sides. Also, her hair is scarlet and violet, but that was pretty obvious

[@Dresden_Nova]

Penny is a corruption of Peony, from the SwSh Crown Tundra DLC. She mentions in Area Zero that her dad creates dumb nicknames for her like Pen-Pen, exactly like Peony does to Peonia. Penny is Peony's other daughter/Nia's sister. With all the subsidiaries Macro Cosmos has, and with Rose having gone all supervillain before now, it explains why Penny is such a shut in and why she's so good with tech.

[@Fae_Gemini]

Penny's hair has always reminded me of Zoroark. Which I feel her story alludes really well with its ability, Illusion.

[@TheLogangster4]

first thing i noticed was that in the hair color options rather than having red and purple it specifically gives you scarlet and violet as options. just thought it was pretty interesting.

[@BottlenoseTheSeaWing]

Penny’s hair is actually red and blue for Sword and Shield, to hint that she’s from the Galar region.

[@Blue_Anzu]

A neat detail I noticed: Since all Pikachu can learn Surf now, Raichu *(And I assume Pikachu and Pichu, I haven't tested it yet)* will actually swim when battling in water instead of getting a floating platform

[@SugeryGold]

Pika hi should manifest a surfboard

[@NJBization]

Pikachu and pichu can learn surf.

[@keoplays167]

A weird thing in Scarlet and Violet also is that the Pokemaniac Trainer class is that they reference other regions - They wear a Pokestar Studio Shirt from Unova - The vest they wear reference Kanto Pokemon with Charizard, Kantonian Tauros (which is not native to Paldea), Rhyhorn and Gyarados - They have a pouch that reminds me of either gengar or crobat referencing Kanto or Johto - The hair and eyebrows reference a substitute doll which is a nod to every region and kanto in particular cuz the substitute doll is based on the old sprite of rhydon - The shoes are very much shaped like the running shoes from hoenn just that they are green instead of the usual orange/red

[@SJrad]

oh one thing i just noticed is that Sushi high roller from luminose city is actually a restaurant chain that also has one on malie city of alola and now has resturants in paldea too

[@Syiepherze]

Yes! I was thinking about that. I completely forgot there was one in Alola too lol

[@takarijbartleby]

Hassel mentions that there was a young dragon user who left to pursue a career in music. I'm pretty sure that's a nod to Ryuki from Pokémon Sun & Moon.

[@thepokemonqueen]

ah I thought it was Giacomo from team star, but your theory probably makes more sense 😂

[@FTChomp9980]

Glad I wasn't the only one who knew it was a reference to Ryuki.

[@Kahadi]

No, he directly says he was talking about himself. The full text is "There was a child in our family who was expected to stand at its head and lead it to greatness. But the young lad, rebellious little fellow that he was, ran away from home one day. He made quite the show of it, too, swearing he’d “make a living with music"! A lot happened since then, and...now he’s the art teacher and Elite Four member before you!"

[@takarijbartleby]

@KahadiNitram Oh, alright, I forgot about that last part.

[@thepokemonqueen]

@@Kahadi oh yeah, forgot about that bit 😅😂

[@Tydy0817]

For the Easter Egg hunters out there, i wonder if we will find a ghost girl/person easter egg in this game. That always seems to be a repeating one gamefreak throws in there.

[@cillacowz2668]

Beginning the second stage of the AI fight as it glitches out right before it settles on “Paradise Protection Protocol challenges you” it glitches to saying “A.I. Sada/Turo does not want to battle anymore”

[@traurigekatze]

I'd also argue iron Valiant in itself is a reference because it's a combination of the mega forms of Gallade and gardevoir, the poofed up dress and red blades are both big changes the megas made

[@alexzwiazek4253]

The history class has a question where the three answer choices are “wisdom, Power, courage” and one of the picks you can buy for your sandwiches is a reference to the Master Sword.

[@iceman3317]

I think the Diglett Statues in Galar were a reference to the Diglett Mountains in the Original Pokemon Snap, which in the same generation we got New Snap.

[@cir0plus]

Cyclizar being green could be from the rainbow, roygbv. Koraidon to Miraidon, Scarlet(red/orange) to Violet. Cyclizar(green) in the middle.

[@bradwhite5884]

I hope the third Legendary is black or white, absent of colour or such, as Koraidon is the past, Miraidon is the future and Cyclizar is the present, the Third legendary is timeless or the end or maybe the beginning time, maybe time no longer exists or something along those lines, who knows tbh

[@NightRaiderTea]

I think there’s one thing that disproves the galar protagonist theory, in Swsh they spelt Mum with a u, the British way, whereas in ScaVio, it’s spelt with an O

[@Tron3108]

The image on the back of Bronzor looks like some sort of plant. After reading it's Pokedex entry, I wonder if it is a reference to the Herba Mystica?

[@forceoffriction]

The Corviknight thing makes more sense when you read Tinkaton's Scarlet Pokedex entry: This intelligent Pokémon has a very daring disposition. It knocks rocks into the sky with its hammer, aiming for flying Corviknight.

[@TheGrossDemon]

What an absolute dick move lmao. God I love that line lol. I wish they gave it a better design, and shiny, but their personality and strength definitely scored them a place in my favs list

[@TheDeathmail]

@@TheGrossDemon I actually like the design...

[@waz207]

Tinkaton was my “Ace” during my scarlet playthrough. Don’t think I would have gotten thru some parts without her Gigaton hammer. Playing thru Violet now, gonna try to go thru with a different team but I’m gonna have a Tinkaton on standby just in case

[@noobstoise1024]

Jacq's classroom (biology lab) has a small model of the beginning segment of Pokémon Snap for the n64 Salvatore's class not only references Alolan Raichu, it also has a picture of the altar of the sun from SM and USUM (during his class) Penny's room has references to the GameCube, Ds, and Gameboy on her shelf

[@mrplow8]

The reason Tinkaton attacks Corviknight and not Squawkabilly is that Tinkaton makes her hammer out of the bodies of steel Pokémon. It says so in Tinkatuff’s Scarlet Dex entry.

[@Niall_Sene]

I actually thought the same thing as soon as my mum offered Clavell a "cuppa" I was like, yes, 100% Galarian!

[@gustavju4686]

The card game pikachu is based on Flying pikachu seen in the opening credits for Pokemon Yellow version.

[@NameksGymRat]

So can we please talk about how Glimmet/Glimmora and Lileep/Cradily all have extremely similar eyes, and also imitate flowers ?

[@BirdKeeperToby]

Think you to everyone clicking that link int he description

[@seepur9320]

you missed a shiny espeon at 12:06

[@johnpowell1029]

Can't wait to see your tree of life video. Can't wait to see what you do with the paradox pokemon. I have my own theories about. For example I think the future paradox Pokemon are the transhumanism dream fully realized, but that just me.

[@Dan-xy4iq]

Did you know that the bird on skeledirge is it’s own pokemon

[@ShadowUtau]

I don't know if its an Easter egg of not but there's a piece of dialog that happens between yourself and the art teacher who is an elite four member. He says at one point he left home to be a musician. We also find out when you battle him that he's a dragon specialist. Could he possibly be Ryuki from sun and moon or related to him? Just kinda curious if anyone else thought that 🤔

[@Segimaru]

10:48 They also reference a being with hexagonal shapes in one of the professor's notes in area zero.

[@Oceane1803]

I had the Fancy Pattern Vivillon back in X and Y and it's so great to see it come back ^^ Also this is a Pokemon that was only distributed once in Kalos, while this form of the Pokemon is from Paldea. So another Kalos-Paldea link.

[@Gingerchalky]

For the galar nod too, at the top of the stairs into Mesagoza, there’s an npc who asks where your from and you can say Galar

[@GamingBob_]

I realized just now that the Tera-Ghost Toxtricity might be a reference to the Death Metal genre. Makes a bit of sense since Ryme is a musician and the Ghost-type gym leader

[@Kahadi]

It might be a reference to death metal, or it's just because she's the Ghost gym leader and a musician, and Toxtricity makes music. If it was a reference to death metal specifically, I think it would be more like the "bug bear" reference in Teddiursa and be a Steel type, like Bronzong maybe, or Magnezone. But maybe

[@adammorin2955]

What makes it weird is ryme is a rapper not a death metal

[@gabriellockwood2780]

@Bird Keeper Toby 10:25~ There's ALSO the fact that there ARE Paradox Legendaries in a "Virizion" Future and "Suicune" Past (SV) There's a whole area in the North-East that's cut-off by invisible wall. AND a DLC potentially releasing sometime in 2023~24 Not to mention, we need the 3rd Legend to be revealed sometime, we don't have a Mythical YET, and I hope we get a new Fossil Pokémon at some point...

[@0nearmedbandit]

same with the legendaries. Korai (古来）means Past, and Mirai（未来）means future

[@gabriellockwood2780]

@@0nearmedbandit The in-game Dex even calls them both "Paradox PKMN"

[@somescottishlassie891]

I'm hungry now coz Toby kept calling turo churro lol, the Christmas fair better come soon coz there's always a churro stall, churros are so freaking good.

[@bigledian4008]

I mentioned it in your Kirlia video, but Iron Valient origin could be an easter egg to mewtwo and pokemon the first movie. It says in a book in pokemon Violet, "An experiment gone wrong?!" And how it was made by a scientist to be the strongest psychic pokemon, Just like how in the being of the first movie Mr Fugi a Scientist says we aimed to make to most powerful pokemon and we succeeded.

[@derrabbit7289]

There was one I noticed when your ride Pokémon gets their battle form: Penny states that if the Pokémon pressed her stomach now, it would crush her. Reference to a meme about the following Pokémon from HG and SS.

[@maxxus2_]

theres a really interesting tidbit of information in the code for the game that was found around launch; toedscruel's codename actually has nothing to do with toedscruel or tentacruel but gyarados! it implites the addition of toedscool and toedscruel was actually a late addition and that magikarp and gyarados were originally going to get convergent evolutions where they developed on land instead! by the way im very excited to get my tree of evolution poster whenever that comes around! i love all the designs from gen 9 so much and cant wait to see the tree updated in full! (toby you mentioned maybe redoing the whole big video explaining each pokemon's position on the tree a while back, are you still going to do this because its one of my favourite series on the channel by a long way and ive love if it was condensed to one video!)

[@Kahadi]

I don't know why people keep saying Tinkaton hunts Corviknight because Corviknight or Steel types steal Tinkatink's hammers, that isn't anywhere I can find. It's Pokemon that eat metal that steal Tinkatink's hammers. Tinkaton hunts Corviknight because they take any metal they can find, and Tinkatuff's dex entry says it uses the scrap metal for their nests, while all 3 use it for their hammers, and Corviknight's feathers are partly made of steel. So they hunt Corviknight to take their feathers, using the metal for nests and hammers.

[@Ikcatcher]

Really hope to see a video on the ending of Scarlet and Violet. Really opened a whole can of worms with the lore

[@Erifire]

Another Easter Egg is that Clavell may also be related to Caleba from Legends Arceus

[@Bluebirdz2202]

11:49 I’m surprised no one has mentioned that the pose Koraidon is in here is the same as the lion on the Spanish coat of arms

[@mapsandmore26]

The lion rampant is on many countries' coats of arms in that exact pose (such as my native Scotland, as well as Czechia and many others), but yes I guess it is particularly relevant with the Spanish one!

[@CompletingThePodkedex]

love the setups they have for dlc/third legendary

[@zacharyscovel1017]

Something I like about Tinkaton's evolution is that Tinkatike's rattle is present throughout the line.

[@jean-pierrebenzenique]

you mentionned Terra Type for Grass Sudowoodo and Bug Tediursa, but what about the other one used by Gym Leaders? like Electric Mismagius Ice Altaria Water Crabominable Psychic Florges Ghost Toxtricity (this one might be Death Metal)

[@mlmn3080]

The only one I can really think of an explanation for is psychic Florges is that the gym leader that uses it is named Tulip, which is a kind of flower. Maybe Iono is because she's obviously into spooky stuff (she probably says "spoopy" cuz she's an egirl icon). Your picture with her after your match, you both make kinda "spooky" faces. Also, her and Mismagius are both wearing oversized headwear and she has that oversized coat, while her mon looks like it's wearing a cloak. And they're both very pointy.

[@mlmn3080]

Crabominable is probably just that crabs generally live in or around water.

[@mlmn3080]

And this one is a really big reach, but the ice type gym leader looks a lot like the coordinator lady in ORAS who uses an Altaria

[@shadowmarauder6033]

What I loved most is that, unlike SS, these games did tell uswhere & when in the pokemon timeline they are set in. I love this because it helps connect it to the rest of the franchise, unlike gen 8 which felt very disconnected in every game.

[@jean-pierrebenzenique]

it does not, the game doesn’t mention any continuation at all, they were just referencing previous games and that’s all Sword & Shield on the other hand clearly has information about what we were left of from Sun & Moon on Silvally/Type:Null Pokédex, where it was clearly mentionned that the Type:Null we received during post game was actually built in Galar from the stolen blueprint of Type:Full project in Aether Paradise

[@nickdentoom1173]

@@jean-pierrebenzenique It literally mentions the Mural getting destroyed... so SV are set after Galar.

[@dasgrauel]

Rhyme may also be referencing a pokemon creepypasta with her hair, White Hand... which is hilariously fitting.

[@cowsgobark4832]

Since Tinkaton hunts Corviknight, the purple stuff on tinktaton’s hammer is actually corviknight’s skin and this is even more believable because the Shiny version of tinkaton is just a regular tinkaton but instead of purple on the hammer it’s now brown, and shiny corviknights are also brown

[@paperip1996]

The Herba Mystica are a stealth pun when you realize they can be abbreviated to HM.

[@cyberstormz1286]

Also here's an interesting one in Cascarrafa in the Seguro Style store you can get the Cool Helmet in gold, which is exactly the same as the famous helmets worn by the members of the electronic dance music duo known as Daft Punk

[@jaimemorenoruizdesign]

Just to point out two things to suggest our character is from Galar and are not mentioned in the video: Our character’s house is located in Cabo Poco. If you overlap the Paldean map with the Spanish map, Cabo Poco seems to be based on Gibraltar, which is part of the British Overseas Territory. Also, our mum offers TEA to Director Clavell. In Spanish culture, we tend to offer COFFEE instead. In Britain is normally Tea. I am Spanish and I live in Wales.

[@renegade7032]

12:06 There is a Shiny Espeon behind the Roaring Moon.

[@bellablossomz]

I like how our character is from galar. And so are other characters. The little things make it nice.

[@cervicalvertebrea]

More Easter Eggs: Herba Mystica can be shortened to HM, which is fitting as they allow you to explore more of the world Some static Terra Spawns are references, like the Fighting terra-type Lokix, which references Kamen Rider. (I mean, that species was already a Kamen Rider reference, but the fighting type seals the deal) Others are types that are strongly associated with the Pokemon, like Psychic terra type Golduck, and dragon terra type gyarados. Finizen and Palafin are a reference to Clark Kent running to a phone booth to change into Superman. It evolves at level 38, and 1938 was the year Superman debuted. I guess the dev team likes superheroes.

[@savagefuryx]

I don't know if this is going to sound really dumb or not, but ...do you remember the very first cave "Inlet Grotto" at the beginning of the game, where you followed Koraidon/Miraidon? if you go up to the very top exit and run a little bit to the left, you can find a weird round patch of yellow flowers - which might be a reference to Undertale??? this might sound like a big stretch, but: 1. before you find the legendary, you fall (a reference to the fallen child). 2. in the cave you can see Houndoom, who watches you when you enter the cave (also could be a reference to Flowey, who watches you throughout the game). 3. some of the columns in the cave represent the ruins where Toriel was "hiding". 4. the crystals in the cave may also be a reference to the location in Undertale - Waterfalls? 5. after you get out of the cave, you can find that flower patch. (I haven't seen a similar flower patch anywhere in the game yet, so I thought it looked a little weird. and yes, the references are scattered, but knowing that Toby worked on some music for the Scarlet/Violet and Undertale was pretty popular game, they might have left such small illusive references). p.s. Lechonk's male evolution looks a little bit like Mettaton. /j 😂😂😂

[@Snusmumrikean]

Nah, its a japanese game and Undertale isn't big enough to get an actual reference overthere. If there is a reference to undertale it's gonna be text in the english translation.

[@TheSaharay1]

@@Snusmumrikean It's big enough to get Japan's attention to get a port of the game years after it's release, with a big notice in Japan due to it finally being translated in Japanese, so it's entirely plausible

[@courage1363]

the # 40 doesnt referenced a movie, but its referencing the DLC for Scarlet/Violet because Dataminers showed that both Suicune and Virizion will have paradox counterparts for the games.

Doesn't she also say something like "Hmm, this student should be useful" during one of your first interactions with her outside of her class?

[@ThePersonWhoAsked69420]

another fact : one of Gary’s names in the rival name selection is “Turo”

[@seepur9320]

12:06 you missed a shiny espeon

[@SJrad]

oh no 💀

[@wooloosupremacy9484]

12:07 did anyone notice the shiny Espeon in the background?

[@quentinbrown2651]

Yes thank you

[@Bwadyy]

12:06 just a casual shiny espion in the back

[@Marceyboy1]

Is no one going to mention theirs a shiny espeon just roaming around when he was going to catch salamance!!

[@natural8677]

10:54 I believe this will be related to the strange circles on the cave floor where you can catch Salamance moon and future Gardeknight

[@natural8677]

Ahh roaring moon that’s it

[@Bluk34dewnxt3]

12:06 Shiny Espeon. Neat.

[@Rikoyasha15]

6:05 wasted opportunity to have Gorochu as a ancient form of Raichu

[@FromGroundToMud]

Some non-pokemon related details people probably missed but I could tell because I'm spanish; 1:23 that's a (tastefully done, imho) reference to spanish painter and sculptor Joan Miró 1:50 tho that building clearly resembles the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona, the name "Mesagoza" comes from the city of Zaragoza 2:55 that plaza is similar in concept to Sevilla's "Plaza España", which has beautiful ceramic benches for every single province of Spain (Star Wars fans may know this place as Naboo lol)

[@LozzaIllustrations]

I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but I believe that the Fury falls landmark is a reference to Ingo and Emmet. The fury falls are a set of twin waterfalls, and the artist npc standing near them questions on what they're angry about. Maybe they're angry because Ingo is still stuck in the past and Emmet is going mentally insane presumably.

[@natural8677]

Paldean Onix.. such a missed opportunity but I guess we did get a mega form with crystals

[@indigopines]

The Diglett thing makes me think that Gamefreak just has a good sense of humor :)

[@KingTaltia]

While not a pokemon easter egg, there's a LOT of easter eggs in IONO'S DESIGN ALONE. She draws inspiration from a LOT of sources in VTuber and Vocaloid culture, having similar pigtails to Hatsune Miku (only with clips at the end), she wears a coat similar to Gwargura's and has Gura's shark teeth, and I can't help but see her hair's Teal and Pink and think of, Teal for Hatsune Miku, and Pink for Kisuna Ai, a popular VTuber in japan.

[@bradwhite5884]

I see, also do you follow any Vtubers, and the last thing I wanna say is, "a!~"

[@forgerofsouls9126]

Fun fact, Tyranitar is NOT acttually a reference to Godzilla. You can tell this by looking at the number of rows of the spines on their back and their locations. It is actually a reference to another monster from a different series (a well know series owned by a different company, but, co-created by the same people basically, and both companies actually have a close working relationship), that monster had the exact same number of rows of spines and locations. The monster is a classic monster from the Ultraman series (told you its a well known series), and it is the monster, Bemular. Besides the spikes, another way that you can tell Tyranitar is more of a reference to Bemular (the original one, not the one that came out in the Ultraman manga back in 2011), is the number of fingers. Tyranitar has three fingers, Godzilla has four, Bemular has three. That said, as it has been largely known, all Pokemon have references and inspirations from multiple sources. Including Tyranitar, who most likely does take some inspiration from Godzilla, but, is more of a reference to Bemular. Also, fun fact, Groudon in the Anime uses Godzilla's roar. But, yeah, that is that.

[@robbiewazup]

Maybe I’m clue clutching at staws, but anyone else think that when the new Pokémon Glimmora is sticking to rocks, it looks a lot like the ultimate weapon in Kalos.

[@lostfelinepiesh6917]

I noticed that too. The crystals at the bottom of the crater where they're commonly found also look a lot like the crystals that are part of the ultimate weapon. That and being found at the bottom of a huge crater I wonder if we found the ultimate weapon's impact site. It also seems weird that with all the super powerful, fully evolved pokemon that there are for some reason a bunch of Floette all over the crater... obviously a pokemon with direct ties to the U.W. The crystals and the associated Terrastal phenomenon could be a direct result of the lingering energy of its impact. Maybe the Glimmora line were some form of rock or poison type that survived the initial impact and were warped by it's energy into something resembling it?

[@robbiewazup]

I didn’t even think about the Floette’s!!! If it’s not the impact crater, it’s possibly a large chunk of debris. But do the timelines match up?

[@lostfelinepiesh6917]

@@robbiewazup if I remember right the weapon was fired 10,000 years ago and I believe the first date we have confirming the craters existence is 2,000 years. It's mentioned at this point like it's already nothing remarkable though, suggesting it's been there a lot longer. So while nothing is concrete it seems plausible

[@robbiewazup]

Suppose that is true, we have no set date as to its creation or true age. I think this could be more than coincidence like you said. 🤔

[@Slime7_]

dude there is a shiny espeon in the background of the roaring moon footage

[@Yoshizuyuner]

Squakabilly isn’t even metal so tinkaton would even bother it, tinkaton is steel because of the obvious huge hammer it has

[@stwbmc98]

One little detail I like: The two convergent mons, Wiglett and Toedscool, basically swapped Diglett and Tentacool’s main types. Diglett is pure Ground type, while Tentacool is primary Water type. Meanwhile, Wiglett is pure Water while Toedscool is primary Ground

[@spencerhoadley5723]

I feel like “Galar: a history” is a play off of “Hogwarts: a history” from the Harry Potter series, since it’s based out of the UK

[@Eli-sr6rz]

Penny has signature Pokémon sylvion reference to max starfall in the false region

[@NeCoruption]

I feel bbn like galar is one of the oldest regions. Even the guy from arceus had armor from galar, so that makes it atleast as old as that

[@theprofessor7965]

Tinkaton's hammer is made up of Corviknight. They harvest them from their corpses.

[@drunkfur]

Also a note about the flying pikachu : I figured it was a nod to Pokemon Dash! You jump into the area and float down on balloons with your pikachu

[@flamefyre]

I always thought that Raifort and Raihan could be related. It's in their names and they look pretty similar, but idk.

[@RasmusSorensenDK]

I like how when he catches the roaring moon, there is just a shiny Espeon in the background

[@nathanmcclung3564]

Given that unlike most adaman was interested in the technology and ways of the galaxy team it is possible that his decendents went abroad leading to the teacher.

[@rudysarmiento8700]

Here's a good one, lono (electric gym leader), she says "your flashy and bright as 10,000,000-volt Thunderbolt, friendo." if you haven't got the reference yet it's ash's pikachu 10.000.000 volt Thunderbolt

[@KaiCyreus]

SV Mega Timeline confirmed!!

[@Code_Lune]

Just a random info I want to say, you know the scarlet and Violet book we see at the starting screen? Those disappear when the credits roll as many people who finished the game knows, leaving an empty desk behind. Since that book was the professor’s favourite book as a child, and we know they attended the academy, and the colour of the legs are from class 1-A (You and Nemona’s classroom), but the position of the desks shows that it’s nether yours’ nor Nemona’s, meaning that it can only belong to the professor when they were still in the academy. I still don’t know why GF chose this as the starting screen, as starting screens tend to be quite important for the story. Perhaps a connection to the likely upcoming DLC?

[@themadman_glitch]

8:20 On Tinkaton, Tinatuff's Scarlet dex entry says they attack groups of Pawniard and Bisharp to gather metal from them. I think Tinkaton is doing the same thing with Corviknight.

[@gustavju4686]

I thought the bird necklace was a Mega Pidgeot 😅

[@cofagrigusfan24]

with #7 i will always disagree on that as there are possible ancestors for Adaman and Irida, that are much much more fitting, Dexio and Sina and for #29 with you putting the 2 images next to each other, i spotted another difference beside the nose, the horns in the back Regidrago has 2 stubby horns, the crown has 6 pointy horns

[@Syiepherze]

Dexio being Irida's descendant looks plausible, but Sina being Adaman's is a stretch

[@CiarlaArt]

I just think not all character need/have a ancestor I don't agree with Toby about Jacq and Adaman.. He's based it on multi-coloured hair, and shape in their design which isn't even the same shape (One is a Hexagon, the other an Pentagon). All character with circles or squares aren't related are they? Hair colour, Jacq's is purple with a lighter purple. Adaman's is Blue with Green. Not to mention there is like 5 other character in Scarlet/Violet alone with multi-coloured hair

[@cofagrigusfan24]

@@Syiepherze same hair colors Both use eeveelutions as their main And lore wise it makes sence At the end of arceus, the clan leaders and rowan's ancestor (forgot his name) are close allies Sycamore was a student of Rowan and Dexio and Sina are Sycamore's assistants
