In case anyone was wondering: Water, flying, and psychic were the only types to be paired with every other type at least once, prior to Gen IX. After Scarlet and Violet, grass (through Scovillain), fighting (through Pawmot and Iron Valiant), electric (through Pawmot and Iron Hands), and dark (through Lokix) have also been paired with every other type at least once.

Clodsire's stats are much more aggressively minmaxed than Quagsire's (IE its Speed and Sp. Attack were slashed to give it better HP, Attack, and defenses), so it's effectively a good bit stronger even with the same BST.

[@generalgrievous6498]

Honestly, it was pretty good as a defender when I used it in my playthrough

[@monkdonk4095]

The stats don't matter that much If its a good distribution

[@adri3939]

small correction, but clodsire's attack stat is lower than quagsire's stat. (75 vs 85)

[@diabolicald4027]

Godsire

[@paulnewton2284]

@@adri3939 Ah, it seems I misremembered. Its Defense is also slightly lower than Quag's Sp. Defense (60 vs 65). But those big HP and Sp. Defense buffs make a huge difference in terms of longevity. Plus, it doesn't have a 4x weakness like Quagsire's inability to touch grass, which makes up for having more weaknesses IMO (especially in terms of being a better Unaware wall). And STAB Earthquake means that even with 75 base attack, it's not too passive.

Honestly, while I can understand dropping Clodsire for its low bst, it’s actually still a really fun Pokémon to use. I honestly found myself using it to soak up hits and deal damage back even more than my Garganacl at times. It may look not great at first, but at least for playthroughs, it can still pack some power. The main mvps of my SV team were it and my Lokix, so the weaker at face value mons aren’t always a bad option

For the Clodsire one, “Doo” there is more like “Doh-oh”- kinda like Ho-Oh’s name!- with the “Doh” coming from a word that means “earth” in the elemental sense, and the second part meaning “king.” So it’s “King of the Ground,” etc. The translation they used in the meme isn’t WRONG- I just personally prefer mine.

Ok but, all the professors ARE named after trees/plants. Gen 9 is just weird b/c even tho Turo and Sada are listed as the "professor" for the games, Jacq is much more like the 'professor of the region' given that he developed the pokedex app for Paldea, and his name IS a plant name. Not his english name, but his Japanese name is Zinnia, and all the profs (minus Turo and Sada) are named after plants/trees in Japanese. Most of them keep the plant reference in English but, Jacq didn't (presumably cause we already have a Zinnia character).

[@brody__thekid]

turo and sada are named after trees. I looked it up.

[@SpiderRiderKya]

@@brody__thekid They literally are not. Not in English or Japanese. In Japanese their names are Futu and Olim (from the latin for 'future' and 'once upon a time' respectively) and their English names, Turo and Sada come from the spanish words futuro and pasada(meaning future and past). 5 seconds on Bulbapedia would have told you this.

[@tpfoxCastro]

Well, I have seen a video about this that explains that Nemona is the true professor becauee her name is very very similiar to a certain type of tree

[@S7evieL001]

My theory (and one I've seen posted around a fair bit is that.... Director Clavell is actually the Professor of the Paldea region. His office is set up very similarly to most professors labs, and Clavellina is a type of tree, so even though it's not a perfect match to his name, it is essencially the same thing. Also most of the professors in previous games give you a starter pokemon (Oak, Elm, Birch, Rowan, Juniper, Sycamore - Kanto starter, Kukui - USUM) The only professor that doesn't give you a starter is actually Magnolia from SwSh, so it fits that pattern too.

[@PoisonFlower765]

He should harness his comical overreactions, pick a pokemon and act like, "Gee I sure hate Sudowoodo! Gaah! Arrg!" or something like that. Then John will make a clever remark and suddenly we'll be seeing Sudowoodo Memes everywhere. Hone your acting skills Mikey then you can control the narrative.

@MandJTV As someone who was born in Maryland, I think Klawf was chosen due to it's shiny color. It's shiny is blue, referencing blue crabs, which is the most popular type of crab in the state

You sound so much happier doing the Pokémon Meme Review these days. Glad to hear the new format is working out 👍

[@TimPetrone]

As an Oregon native, I'm guessing Hisuian Typhlosion is a reference to the fact that at least half of the state is on fire at any given time. The ghost typing probably just references that a lot of things die due to the state being a literal fiery hellscape. I currently live in Kentucky (not really by choice), and I think Torchic is pretty self-explanatory here. It's a fire chicken. Kentucky Fried Chicken. Thunderus or Tornadus would also work here. I get tornado and thunderstorm emergency alerts literally every day.

[@SanguineMalcontent]

Mt. Hood is a potentially active volcano and HI and WA had better Pokesentatives.

[@TimPetrone]

@@SanguineMalcontent still pretty sure it’s a reference to the constant wildfires. There are a lot of Pokemon that would represent a volcano far better than Hisuian Typhlosion. And there are active volcanoes all over the country. That’s not something Oregon is known for. It IS known for it’s constant wildfires.

[@outbreakperfected5704]

Is Oregon know for people being high? That might be why

[@zekenelsons2069]

@@outbreakperfected5704 This is my theory!! Half my friend group lives in Portland and it seems to be the Amsterdam of the US. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks Hisuian Typhlosion isn't dead, he just ate one too many special brownies and transcended his mortal form.

For the map meme with the Pokemon as a South Dakotan: our state bird is the pheasant!! Idk about ND but much of the northern Midwest has many Native American territories (that were sadly stolen by the government) that were for and depended on the buffalo/bison of the area for much of their supplies and lifestyles!! RN we have ranches for Buffalo, some are for buffalo meat and others for more conservation efforts!! Also there is a running gag of "do not pet the fluffy cows" due to dumb tourists getting gored/trampled by buffalo as they are not domestic like standard beef cattle

[@BNotInc]

NO WAYYY!!!!! I got into the video with my Paradox Beedrill and Shroomish!!! (25:32) Thanks for including me into the underrated bit, Katie!!! 😁😁😁 And for the designs themselves (I think I should talk a bit about them): Iron Scavenger is made to mine and find valuable ores with its item finder antennae and megadrill. I love Beedrill, but its stats SUCK. I wanted to make a competitively viable Beedrill, and so I did. :) Ashen Spores is like a caveman-esc mushroom with spiked petals, fangs, and splotchy dots representing cavemen clothing. It also has Breloom’s feet to show how Breloom evolved over time from this primordial hunter. I read about a certain type of red, poisonous mushroom (hence the part poison type) growing in the past in Spain and Portugal. (Plus I just wanted to make a Paradox of my favorite mon, hehe.)

[@asuchi7370]

Shroomish and Breloom are some of my favorite pokemon too!

[@yourimmortalenemy1308]

I’ve heard a theory that Shroomish may be partially designed after an egg and Breloom a dinosaur, therefore giving a past paradox even more meaning. They’re honestly my favorite grass types so I’ll take any love they can be given

[@Elle-nm5rt]

They both have such awesome concepts, you put so much work into it!

To be fair, they were definitely trying to do only tree names for professors before gen 9

[@imarandomgamer2]

Spoilers for anybody that hasn't played Scarlet and Violet yet The trees pattern being broken was an interesting decision, but I think it makes sense. The broken pattern for Sada and Turo fits with how they subverted your expectations and turned out to have questionable goals and be not so good parents. The other professors are meant to be warm mentor figures, while Sada and Turo were simply mad scientists bent on a crazy, destructive goal, the real professors being dead and their AI clones only interacting with you to tell you about Koraidon/Miraidon's status and eventually to tell you to come to them so they could defy the original professor's intentions. It's evident that Clavell is more like the traditional professor role, being the warm mentor figure the past professors have been, not to mention how you'll receive the "You hear the director's voice in your head" message when you try to do something at the wrong time, which is usually "You hear the professor's voice" in other games.

[@generalgrievous6498]

@@imarandomgamer2 Interesting, I never thought about that

[@yourfellowpancake6335]

I’m sad that we no longer have tree professors

[@imarandomgamer2]

@@yourfellowpancake6335 Yeah, though it might not be a permanent change. I've heard somewhere about Clavell also having connections with a tree as well (Clavellina I think?), my knowledge is not fully accurate on that one (one might say, 50% accurate), but it still points to Clavell being the true "professor" and future professors possibly returning to the pattern. We'll just have to see.

I actually love Squakabilly, it’s based on a Quaker Parrot or a monk parakeet, which is the type of birb my first pet was (Captain Jack Sparrow was his name) They’re loud, opinionated, social, friendly, territorial, and loving little gremlins and I adore them XD

I can relate to the cursive hate haha. I remember when I had to take standardized tests back in high school (it was either the ACT or SAT), one of them required you to write a sentence in cursive in the intro segment, like separate from any of the test subjects. It was before they’d start timing you or say to keep quiet. The rest of the room, myself included, were just like “what if… we don’t know how to write some of these letters correctly in cursive?” And the moderator of the exam had to reassure us to just try our best and that it wouldn’t affect our scores (it was a statement about agreeing to have integrity during the test or something similar). So, for a brief moment, we were all struck with a fear that all our prep for the actual test would be for naught, just because of not being familiar with cursive lol
