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!

I don't know about you guys, but for me Heatran has to be one of, if not THE least legendary among legendary pokemon. Sure, pokedex says that they nest in volcanic caves and their body is made of molten metal but in legendary standards that isnt much. Magmar also live in volcanoes and there are many metallic pokemon out there. Heck, why can it be in both genders, not even one specific gender like Latis or Cresselia. Unlike Tobias with Darkrai and Latios, the random trainer who had Heatran with them didn't make me even bat an eye, I was like "aha, ok".

[@maninthetrenchcoat5603]

Rotom Mow could be Grass type because of all the grass that gets caught inside the mower. You could hypothetically say it's a reverse Dhelmise. While Dhelmise is grass on a metal object, Rotom Mow is a metal object containing grass. It's able to use Leaf Storm because of all the grass that's stuck in the mower. Its properties of dropping the special attack make even more sense as it could represent it running out of grass to shoot.

[@somedude140]

16:33 No living snakes have legs (excluding the extremely tiny pelvic spurs left on pythons and boas). Snakes are a specific group of animals, they're not just any legless lizard. A limbless body plan has evolved at least 11 separate times; including (relatively) close relatives of geckos, tegus, and monitor lizards. The latter actually being the closest living relatives of snakes. Point being: limblessness is actually very common among lizards and is not unique to snakes. Fun fact: snakes and monitor lizards are also the closest living relatives of the mosasaurs (although science isn't entirely sure who's closest to who). This also means that snakes and mosasaurs are actually lizards.

17:57 so I actually have a Pokémon card that says when leafeon is laying in the sun it is using photosynthesis to produce clean air.

[@c.d.dailey8013]

That fits well enough. Clean air is a byproduct. Photosynthesis is a major activity that plants do. In a way it is a reverse burning. Plants take in water, carbon dioxide and sunlight. Then they produce sugar and oxygen. The sugar is a source of food and energy. Oxygen is fresh clean air. It is essential to make something burn. A regular fire needs oxygen to burn. That is why using bellows can help a fire burn. They blow in extra oxygen. Humans and animals need oxygen too. They breathe that in. Then they use the oxygen to burn their fuel to help fuel their bodies. Resperation involves some really complicated chemistry, but basically it is like burning. It is as if each animal has a little combustion engine inside. If Leafeon can perform photosynthesis, then it would probably give off fresh oxygen too. I hope I cleared things up.

20:24 actually, Roserade isn't based off of the rose, but a poisonous plant that looks like a rose; the original rose, not the weird frilly bred kind commonly sold in stores. That's why they have the poison type, roses aren't poisonous. It's essentially a flower of the hellebore genus "Masquerading" as a rose; which means the name is punnier and deeper than you thought it was. Just thought you might like to know that. Could make a video correcting your two mistakes made so far (in this, and your pokemon flower meanings video), in calling it a rose, then link them all to each other for more views :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoLPanSMmadljNU Here's where I got my info (The Dex :D )

Well technically parasitism is a type of symbiosis. There are three types actually, parasitism where one organism benefits at the expenses of the other, commensalism where one organism benefits and the other is not affected either positively or negatively, and mutualism where both organism benefit.

You forgot Tropius. It would be in the plant category like the Chikorita line, don't you think? It's just a banana tree shaped like a dinosaur..... that can fly. So yeah.

[@SadSpectacle1]

That description is spot on. It made me laugh.

[@kexinatorlp9336]

Actually the Pokedex states that Tropius is a plantlike animal that ate so many berries that they started growing from it's throat.

[@erickjordan3500]

Yes; Tropius is a sauropod that has assimilated a banana plant into its physiology, thus making it a plant/animal symbiotic. Therefore it falls under the 1st category, like Bulbasaur or Paras.

[@thesardonicrenegade3065]

I used to think Tropius was part of the Chicorita line

[@dracone4370]

Fun fact, Jackolanterns come from a very old Irish tradition, but what the Irish used to make them were giant beets and turnips that were hollowed out to look like lanterns, they even have a story called "Jack of the Lantern" where a guy named Jack made deal with the devil to not be taken into Hell then proceeded to make it so he couldn't get into Heaven and then tried to break into Hell only to be chased out by the Devil then use one of the coal's from Hell as the light for his own makeshift lantern which was made by hollowing out a giant beet or turnip, depends on the sources you use, but when the practice was brought over to the rest of Europe and North America the lack of giant beets and turnips led to the using of gourds as a substitute. So, if you really want to do things the traditional way with Jackolanterns go and buy a sugarbeet and hollow it out into a lantern then put your candle in there. Makes me wonder, would they make variants of Pmpkaboo and Gourgeist that are beets but keep the typing when moving into an Ireland-based region?

[@manta965]

Just so you know you're sort of using the term symbiosis wrong. A symbiosis is a close interaction of two different species regardless of the effects on each. Mutualism is what you confused with symbiotic a couple of times, its where both parties get a positive thing out of the relationship like the clownfish and anemone. Commensalism is where only one creature gets and advantage and the other is neither hurt nor helped, and parasitism is where one benefits at the others expense.

Lileep & Cradily actually do have reasoning for their Grass Type. While crinoids may not be plants, they have a plant like property of rooting themselves to rocks. Crinoids are also officially know as the Sea Lily, & it's likely that Lileep & Cradily are designed to a hybrid of both a sea lily & an actual lily to make a more literal sense of the term "sea lily". Kinda like how despite Kingdra & Dragalge not being based on literal dragons, they are based on a creature who has "dragon" in the name.

Cacturne is a cactus AND a scarecrow pokemon. Why? There is no Murkrow in the desert. But it has a reason why is a Scarecrow Cactus.

I can't. Too creepy.

[@JamesDavy2009]

They're not the only Pokémon that make the desert hazardous. Trapinch are desert ant lions that use pit traps like our favourite Rockets; Krookodile and Flygon have a symbiotic relationship that nets them their prey; Sandile can bite you on the leg if you cross paths with one; and even if you are alone in the desert during the day, there might be the odd Mandibuzz circling in the sky.

I love how he talks about semisage just decorating himself with the leaves while falsely paraphrasing the Pokedex entry he puts under it which clearly states that the leaves are growing on him.

Something that really bothered me in this video... parasitism is a type of symbiosis. Symbiosis is the interaction between two organisms in close physical association, and has three main categories. Mutualism - symbiosis that is beneficial to both organisms, such as bee-flower. Bee gets food, flower can spread its pollen. Commensalism - symbiosis that is beneficial to one organism and neutral to the other, such as bird-tree. Bird has a place to nest out of reach of ground dwelling predators, and this does not affect the tree much. Parasitism - symbiosis that is beneficial to one organism and detrimental to the other, such as dog-flea. Flea gets food, dog gets skin irritation and exposure to diseases.
