Garchomp and Sharpedo are Related? | Gnoggin - Pokemon Theory Classic!

[@EnderLord99]

THEORY: Frogs, axolotls, catfish, and slugs are all various levels of slimy; Marshtomp, Swampert, Palpitoad, Siesmitoad, Wooper, Quagsire, Barboach, Whiscash, and Gastrodon are all 4x weak to Grass and live in muddy, rainy places.

In fact, it would be more correct to say that Stegosaurus and Kentrosaurus are an example of divergent evolution.

Strictly theorising without metatextual considerations: why do you assume it was Sharpedo that turned into Gible? Carvanha has a dark blue on top with a red underbelly, same as Gible. A red underbelly could have served as a warning to other tropical predators or as camouflage against river predators attacking from below - the rivers might have had the right kind of sediment for red to be preferable. On top of that, the easy access to mudbanks for ancient Carvanha to predate in would explain the shift to ground type. Sharpedo's colouration mark it as a distinctly open ocean-faring predator and it interacting with the shoreline enough to significantly evolve seems a bit of a stretch. Y'know, as far as magical monsters that you cram into marbles go.

[@Deadpool3E]

Sister Taxon is the result of Divergent Evolution, in which creatures descending from a common ancestor evolve distinct traits that separate themselves from one another due to environmental and selective pressures. Lions and tigers, for instance. Convergent Evolution is when to animals evolve similar features and traits in response to environmental pressures despite not sharing a common ancestor. Dolphins and Ichthyosaurs are a classic example of this. As for Stegosaurus and Kentrosaurus, the two actually do have a common ancestor. While Kentrosaurus was once proposed to be an ancestral form, it turns out that recently, the dinosaur has derived characteristics closer to Stegosaurus than more primitive species like Huayangosaurus. Hence, Kentrosaurus, while still relatively basal, is a member of the Stegosauridae family and this would make it convergent evolution. Though if you're wondering why the two appear on different sides of the planet, you may need to remember what Earth was like in the Late Jurassic, prior to that, and the animals that are around in their habitats. You're aware of the supercontinent of Pangaea, right? This was basically a big ol' crust that had been around since the Permian. Over time, the landmass started to crack and drift. By the Early Jurassic, Laurasia and Gondwanaland were starting to make themselves known: the former being comprised of North America, Asia, a periodical Bering Strait, and a cluster of islands that would one day be Europe; the latter were the southern continents of Africa, South America, Antarctica, Australia, and India. However, because this was a recent split, the North and South were still a stones throw from one another, meaning they shared the same weather patterns and, thus, very similar habitats of semi-arid floodplains and sparse forests. As these continents began to separate, different populations of dinosaurs were split from related groups. None of these were more evident than what we see in the Lourinha, Tendaguru, and Morrison Formations of Portugal, Tanzania, and Western USA respectively, in which various genera and equivalent species are shared in these three sites. This is how you get things like numerous species of Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus, Torvosaurus in the US and Portugal, many related sauropod species, and the prevalence of Stegosaurs like Kentrosaurus and Stegosaurus itself. Also, the word you're looking for is "paleontologist". Archaeologists mainly study dead people and very recent events that still affect humans. We paleontologists do the real awesome stuff.

In my opinion, carvana actually does look similar to gible, because both of them have red on their undersides in very similar ways. I think carvana directly evolved into gible, and sharpedo stayed the way it was. As gible evolves, it starts to reveal some traits from it's used to be evolution. The gible lines' desaturated colors make a lot of sense too, since being in the darkness of caves for so long may have caused pigment loss in gible, turning the dark blue into gray. As it evolved and needed the caves less and less, it started to gain some of its blue coloration back in its later evolutions.

AronRa has an extensive series on the Systematic Classification of Life. It's fascinating to see how extensive our RL genetic tree is. It is a lot of fun toying with where pokemon would lie in a similar system. BKT has a pretty cool tree concept in the works. Thanks for the chat, Lockstin! It's always a pleasure watching your videos and appreciate what you bring to the table. 9:00 Appendix is likely a reserve storage for gut flora and immunity cells according to SciShow. Only mentioning it because I saw the video very recently. Edit: Grammars

“ there are things that humans don’t use so it slowly goes away” examples: human dignity and honor

[@TheNamelessOne888]

Lol! It's true.

[@dipstick6778]

4:07 “stout, thick, stronk beaks” why is nobody talking about this

[@MysticMylesZ]

*Finally a VPN sponsorship that isn't...* What's its name again I've seen it so much it's just became a common part of most video so my brain flushes it out from time to time... Oh yeah *Nord VPN*

8:11 paused it at just the right time and he looks HILARIOUS!

DONT MIND ME JUST WONDERING WHY SHARPEDO WAS CUT IN HALF

[@Nrex117]

The Stegosaurus and Kentrosaurus example seems a bit wrong. They are both members of the same family.

Petition for Galarian Garchomp 👇

[@bray2964]

Garchomp is perfect the way he is. (Except for mega Garchomp and it's loss of speed)

[@_zastronaut100]

Bram Jans Are you sure you don’t want a cool new different type of garchomp

[@flying_gorilla8069]

@@_zastronaut100 no. Garchomp is already fine and I honestly want some underrated and forgettable Pokémon to get new forms

[@lylacor8401]

5:50 I like how there is an aquatic bionicle that if memory serves me right first lived on land in the lower right of the screen.

[@XxSoraMifunexX]

Eyes saw "Mommy" Brain read "Woomy" Now I'm just imagining a thicc Inkling mama saying "Ara, Ara~" And I require it...

Ara Ara.... O kawaii koto...

[@brandonweh]

We need a hammerhead fossil pokemon to solidify this

[@Raziel_Hijikata]

I wonder if Druddigon could also be thrown in the mix too because he shares the same ability rough skin, some of the same coloring and is also called the Cave pokemon

[@michelepella2768]

Well but it makes zero sense that Sharpedo became a Gible because of Sinnoh's colder temperatures. Dragon-Ground is 4 times weak to ice... It's actually counterproductive

[@cq.cumber_offishial]

I hate game theory because his theories' say endermen are Steve But I like lockstin & gnoggin because these theories are serious and make sense

[@ryanchoong4714]

Finally!! I real proper pokemon theory, not a filler video!! And I love this theory so much! Thanks for posting this on my birthday too!! (Although you probably didn't know that) Its like a birthday present!

[@fools.play0401]

My 3 year old son's second favorite Pokemon is Garchomp, and I've always loved this theory. You did a spectacular job breaking down also!

[@erinkarp6317]

0:38 Well... a bunch of eggs turn into a walking palm tree... so...

[@NeatCrown]

A number of the things you mentioned as useless remnants of our ancestors are actually pretty important. Appendix: Helps restore gut bacteria if and when they ever get flushed out. Tonsils: A part of the immune system Body hair: increases nerve sensitivity Goosebumps: a side effect of muscle contraction

[@milessaxton]

Your arm movements are just entertaining sometimes

[@pyrojack8230]

4:44 NO THE OCTILLARY!!! Press F for this Good Tank Octo-Boi.

[@DanielRoozen]

I love how carefree and joyful this guy is, and yet still very into knowledge. This is the only poketuber that I can learn about stuff like Sister Taxon.

[@james4thedoctor482]

9:00 Appendix is used by immune system (SciShow just recently did a video about this) Gallbladder stores bile produced by the liver until it is needed to emulsify fats in digestion Body hair still is useful in some locations (SciShow did a video about butt hair)

[@hyper-7473]

What if houndoom and arcanine are related two fire dogs first found in the kanto region

[@bbqsandwich832]

8:04 hey, is that? is that Pridak? in the bottom right corner? hey, hey is that Pridak?
