Something I haven't seen mentioned with the Nacli line is that its cubic nature is a reference to the actual crystalline structure of salt. Most people seem to assume it's just a Minecraft reference.

[@Doctor_Strain]

One bit you can add to Ogerpon is that the “Pon” comes from the jp word “Ponkotsu” (ポンコツ). Literal translation is “junk” but is often used to describe airheaded or ditzy characters, which in my opinion, is how ogerpon comes off with its idle and walk animations.

Another detail supporting the "Snake with prosthetics" theory for Miraidon is the colors of its Future Paradox Energy: the one running in the metal parts of its body (limbs, back, handles) is entirely violet, while the one in its exposed parts (throat, tail, eyebrows) adds yellow and some white. It almost feels like the tri-colored energy is the real body of this Pokemon and the violet is only the external layer, seeping into the metallic attachments just enough to be able to control them.

[@RicochetForce]

Yeah, when he was explaining that part I took a close look at Miraidon and noticed that all the energy bits form a long, serpentine "body" which is flowing through some sort of machine chassis. Which would make sense since it's en electric dragon that is powering the robotic body its in.

[@weaselwolf]

the thing I love about the polteageist and sinischa lines are that they're both the same concept, but through their country's culture. sinistea and polteageist are objects possessed by a ghost that already existed, but sinischa and polchageist are objects who came to life on their own after existing for such a long time and, at least for the one from the fairy tale, absorbing the personality of their owner. it really embodies "convergent evolution" while also highlighting the similarity and difference between both myths.

[@brenenwynd2041]

Evolutionary biologist/paleontologist here, I think the main connection between Lemurs and Shrews is that treeshrews are more closely related to primates than they are to other shrews and both belong to the group called Euarchonta (the shrew-form has evolved like 10 times in mammals). But treeshrews belong to the group Scandentia, which along with the Dermoptera (Colugo), are closely related to primates. Additionally, alongside the lab rat stuff, the closet related group to Euarchonta are the Glires (Rodentia+Lagomorpha[wabbits]), together they form the mammalian superorder, Euarchontaglires. That is why working on rodents in the lab has benefits that extend to humans, we are more closely related to little rats than we are pigs or other mid-size livestock. Great video!

Worth mentioninin Fuecoco's line might have another inspiration: Correfocs. Correfocs are a catalan and valencian tradition (east of Spain) where people celebrate playing with fire and lighting things up, sometimes people participating wear big costumes on top of them that look like dragons or reptiles to mimic a dragon's fire... that square in Fuecoco's belly? it's supposed to mimic the hole the people inside the structure use to be able to see while wearing them. also the reason why Skeledirge looks so 'unnatural', with straight lines is because he is made to look like he was handmade from plaster to resemble a figure molded into that shape... like the dragons from correfocs are.

[@JackHallowLantern]

Alebrijes actually aren’t spirit animals, that was just a creative liberty done in Coco.

[@morgancrabtree6248]

Wasn't there like a director's cut or something where the director or somebody else said that somebody who was practically on his death bed saw creatures like that but it may have been a hallucination and managed to write down the concept of them?

[@Gnoggin]

I'm definitely curious about this, because there are Alebrije statues depicting super bright animals from the 1940s even. Is them being psychopomps specifically a later idea perhaps from Coco? I havent actually seen it. Digging in a bit more I think this is close to the case though. the earliest Alebrije just seem to be bright fantastical animals as an art piece. the Spirit idea coming later.

[@kevinherrera3410]

@ correct! I didn’t get a chance to write my whole comment, but yes, originally, back in the 1940’s, they were just colorful animals made by Pedro Linares. Unsure if there was any sort of spirit guidance from them prior to Coco, but that’s where I first heard about it.

Just a little explanation, there's a little canon reason for why the Paradox Pokémon are named like that, Heath named them like that, because he's not a researcher, he just named them what they are, but then Professor Sada or Turo started renaminy them to how we know, but since they were killed, they only had time to name Koraidon and Miraidon, that's why they're the only ones to have common Pokémon names.

I really think Brambleghast's design is inspired by Pablo Picasso (and Cubism), I don't know how that connects to the other themes of its designs (I'm sure there's something, knowing the Pokemon designers), but it just has to be in there. Pablo Picasso was one of Spain's most famous artists of all time, after all. I'd love a deeper dive into that to see how that does connect with the western and ghost town themes!

[@Metalseedraking]

Great Video 😊 I want to add: Toedscool and Toedscruel are based on Truffles to. Their heads are the Truffle and the legs could symbolize the underground spore network. Toedscruel is based on variants of black truffles like the perigord truffle and Toedscool is based on the white Alba-Truffle. They have the ground type because Truffles grow inside the ground.

My Favorite Gen 9 Pokémon are easily Armarouge and Ceruledge.

Respect, this was insanely entertaining and informational!

I took Pecharunt's Story a different way, the story and the way they worded particular parts suggest that Pecharunt didn't forcible "Controlled" the Loyal 3. In the games they clearly show free will and their Pokedex entries and Pecharunt's story imply that Pecharunt wanted to fulfill each of their greatest desires. Its further evident when you take into account that the only reason Pecharunt left to go to Kitakami was because its caretakers desired the masks. Pecharunt isn't inherently mean but rather shows it's want to please everyone it meets. Nemona wanted to battle and Pecharunt granted in a way by forcing us to fight her. Pecharunt's story is really sad if you look at it this way, and shows that it was blinded to how it hurts others un-initially and that ultimately harmed it. Ogerpon and Pecharunt both wanted to live happy lives and they both inadvertently destroyed each other's in a single night...

Garganacl's name literally means "Big Salt", and I love it.

Bellibolts.. eyes.. and its an avocado? Mind blown.

[@plaguehead7348]

1:00:45 so what your saying is... they're ultra beasts?

[@SeantheSharkGuy]

Yep, pretty much! Just Ultra Beasts that showed up via Terapagos and Tera crystal powers instead of via Nebby and Ultra Wormholes

[@truegamer7760]

@@SeantheSharkGuy Though Ultra beasts are more like aliens while the paradox pokemon are basically anomalies.

[@SeantheSharkGuy]

@@truegamer7760 by design and intention by the devs, yep! They definitely are. But I find it interesting that lore wise, they technically they do fall under the literal definition we were given for Ultra Beasts, that being Pokémon or Pokémon-like creatures from other dimensions.

[@truegamer7760]

@@SeantheSharkGuy I honestly wonder what else they could do with these kinds of pokemon.

[@turtle10141]

24:13 i think its funny that the comments seem to hate you pointing out how avocado-like Bellibolt is, cause the first time i ever saw it, i was like :OOO avocado pokemon!!! only to find out its an electric frog 😂

[@YuuTheShikigami]

So, fun thing, gorebyss probably is more related to the boto from Brazilian myths, as it's called "Boto Cor-de-rosa" or "pink boto".

The fudge!?!? A new video more than and hour long talking on my personal favorite generation after the first two, Gen 9!?!? This one is going to really flesh out Paldea Pokemon, and it is sorely needed for the haters! Thank you so very much, Lockstin, for the best Christmas present a Poke-Tuber could give! You're undoubtedly the best one ever for all this information!

[@marcobenevi]

Yes, I'll take this unusually longer video as a Birthday/Christmas gift, thanks Lockstin! 🎂 🎅🤩

The Lernaean Hydra did not guard the golden apples, that was a different snake-like dragon named Ladon.

13:16 says larger locust, shows a weta (cricket relative). Also locust is like a vague group within grasshoppers just being the ones that swarm. Nothing particularly with size just like one of the largest European grasshoppers is the migratory locust

[@true-final-boss]

1:01:30 Yeah that was a solid reveal. Prior to that I was thinking the Paradoxes had more to do with making imagination reality, and just took the form of very surface level ideas of past and future from people
