EVERY Flying Type Pokemon EXPLAINED! | Gnoggin

WhY aRe ThEy FlYiNg TyPe?? It seems obvious, it's a bird. Of course it's flying. We're done. Simple. BUT! Some of them are somewhat interesting. So today lets QUICKLY go over the reasoning behind the flying type Pokemon being flying type.
And note, even if we don't go into detail with some of them, they are flying because they fly (they we're covered in the song.) The rest of their origins are explained in the video with their primary type.

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!

Lugia is the LUN-Class Ekranoplan, Soviet Union in 1985.

The thing was a BEASTLY military vehicle, but barely anyone remembers it was a thing.

[@pyoheliobros5773]

Everyone seems to forget all the time why Lugia SHOULDN'T be Water-type. In the Pokédex it states that it only lives under water because a flap of its wings can create storms and to ensure the safety of others, it chooses to live under water so that won't happen. Lugia isn't born having connections to water in any way, it just later chose to live under water.

[@arpeggiosfromhell4695]

Ryojin Hellgar yeah and its affiliation with the wind is tronger than the one with the water. Lugia can control winds and storms and this cause ocean storms, not the control of the water itself. So lugia hasn't a real control of water. That's because I'll call it the storm pokemon instead the ""diving pokemon""

[@asherdevin]

I never catch Lugias, so I never see the Pokedex entries. And I don't think they can be caught in most of the games either, so I'd have to spend forever trading one up or for one.

[@thebadguytemp23]

Yeah, I guess Lugia learning Hydro Pump at the same level Ho-oh learns Fire Blast is just a coincidence. Stfu. Even the GF staff confirmed they considered Water as one of its types, they just went with Psychic because of the "Psychic = Powerful/Legendary" mindset from earlier gens which sounded more impressive for the movie (because if you didn't know, Lugia was created specifically for the movie, not with Gold/Silver in mind).

[@arpeggiosfromhell4695]

Temp23 I think that Lugia has a really close resemblance to the moon (and ho-oh with the sun). It's a silver color, associated with the moon. The moon also control tides and is associated with water like Lugia, also the moon is a celestial thing, and we know that every thing related to the space is psychic type (cosmog line, solrock and lunatone, starmie, elgyem and so on). So I think that's a really interesting fact. Lugia=Moon=Psychic

[@tristanneal9552]

Doesn’t it’s lore state that it’s the representation of the rain that put out the fire at Tin/Burned Tower? Also, it’s called the guardian of the seas, while Ho-oh is the guardian of the skies. It has been portrayed as water type in the card game, and it’s origins are based in the Shinto dragon (yang/male/water) while Ho-oh is the Shinto Phoenix (yin/female/fire). All in all, I think it’s pretty clear they just changed him to a water type to avoid being unbalanced with Ho-oh.

@@valiang8867 I'm going to quote Ceasar from Rise of the Planets of the apes, *ahem*, " NO!" Nargacuga is coming to world before Barroth. Let me explain it to you, Tigrex is the RAW, UNBRIDLED POWER. Nargacuga is Stealth, an ambush hunter. Barroth is, neither of those, Even Giginox (the only other Pseudo-wyvern of the same size) is better because it's super creepy and vomits it's young at you! And then we have Akantor and Ukanlos, Pseudo-wyvern who were mistaken for GODS upon their discovery and can hunt, and eat, ELDER DRAGONS. In comparison to these guys Barroth is HOT, or COLD, GARBAGE! Barroth was my first Pseudo-wyvern, and Tigrex and Narga beat it in every capacity.

[@valiang8867]

Abyssal Nargacuga 1) You're one of those toxic ppl that ruin the MH community, ppl that think they're opinions are the only ones that matter, guess what, everyone has their own opinion, asshole 2) Barioth is a Sabertooth Wyvern that can breathe ice and make ice vortexes, Nargacuga is basically just a cougar that has a stretchy tail...oooooh...so interesting?...compared to the other amazing awesome insane monsters, it's pretty normal tbh

I would say that Oricorio and it’s forms are not based on Galapagos finches, but rather on the multitude of extinct and endangered Hawaiiian birds. Before the islands were settled by humans some one thousand years ago, these birds were plentiful. However, a few destroyed forests and feathered cloaks later meant that many of these species went extinct. I would say they could definitely be the finches Darwin observed, but I think they would then have some kind of difference in the design of their beaks. That would be a pretty important part of a design based on such birds.
