As someone who is a rikishi (sumo wrestler) and grew up with pokemon, from childhood i exclusively made my team up of fighting pokemon with a sumo aesthetic. Heracross and Hariyama are the only two pokemon I have used in every game they feature in regardless of the rest of the team. I love my sumo sons

[@Aevilbeast]

Now that's awesome! I've always been interested in Sumo (as a spectator,mainly... as I'd probably be thrown into the sky and disappear with sparkle, like what happened to Team Rocket all the time on the show if I ever actually tried it! LOL!), it's so much more than just a "sport" as it's so intertwined with tradition, culture and ceremony and is one of the oldest sports still around today. It's pretty depressing most people don't realize that and don't ever give it a chance, thinking it's nothing more than some guys pushing each other. I know when I eventually visit Japan one of the things I plan on doing is going to watch a Sumo match in person...oh, and of course try out some Chanko-nabe!

7:35 I've always been confused by the Timburr line origin, so one day I decided to search what their design inspiration was and found out that they really weren't modeled after clowns and strongmen carnies. Their design was actually inspired by japanese Yankee delinquents and construction workers, which might seem like a random combination of ideas, but back in the 70s and 80s it was common for delinquents to end up working at construction sites, since most of them never finished school, they really didn't had that many job options to choose from. You can see the Yankee inspiration in Timburr with its Regent Pompadour and Gurdurr's "Afro" is meant to be a Punch perm, both hairstyles where very popular among japanese delinquents. Conkeldurr's "hairstyle" is a Chonmage (topknot used by warriors), and its japanese name Roubushin has "bushin" in it, which can be translated to Warlord, so its design draws inspiration from construction workers/warriors instead of Yankees like the other two. There's also the old man side of the design with the concrete pillars being walking canes and the veins looking like a back brace. Their bodies also resemble the uniform used by construction workers in Japan, with their legs resembling baggy pants called tobi trousers and their two toed feet being similar to jika-tabi shoes. Now the red nose in Gurdurr and Conkeldurr...I have no idea, but my theory is that it might be based on a red drunkard nose(?). At least it makes sense to me with Timburr being the youngest one, having its black nose turn into red once it evolves to Gurdurr, which can be considered the young adult stage, while Conkeldurr is the elder final stage. PMD Gates makes kind of a reference to this with a Gurdurr getting "drunk" after drinking too much """berry juice""" at a party and in Pokemon Amie, for some reason, Gurdurr is one of the few Pokemon to have a special sleeping animation and it really makes it look like a drunk guy sleeping while standing up, lmao. But who knows, maybe it was intentional or maybe I'm just grasping at straws since there hasn't been a real explanation for the red noses. TL;DR The Timburr line was inspired by japanese Yankee delinquents and construction workers, not clowns. Also excuse my english, I'm trying my best :]

On Zeraora: no, no, your opinion makes a lot of sense, actually! I remember one of the Pokemon saying something to the effect of that they give the Pokemon uncute or uncool traits to make them more unique. They used Oshawott as an example: it's, from a character design stance, cuter without the dots on its face, but the dots give it character. Delphox, Incineroar, and Lucario all have design traits that are sort of antithetical to their themes - Delphox is elegant, but has awkward proportions in places. Incineroar is tough but has big, cartoony paws. Lucario is cool but, there's a simplicity to it that balances it out. Zeraora doesn't feel like it has those antithetical traits. For argument's sake, I could argue that its folded up paws are kinda cute on an otherwise wicked cool Pokemon, but it's just not enough when every other aspect of the design is So Cool it borders into bland and predictable territory.

The point of the "footprints" on Crabominable's pinsirs is that they're supposed to tie in to the fictitious legend of the abominable snowman. Basically, in the Pokemon world, the abominable snowman is just a folk legend, and the footprints that people see in the snow are really just Crabominables doing it. Or at least, that's my theory.

That actually makes a lot of sense! It's like the entire plot of Lavender Town with these supposed ghosts cursing the Tower, but they were not ghosts (except for the one that it was) but mere Ghost type Pokémon being mischievous. This is seen in multiple Pokédex entries even, where they describe myths surrounding Ghost type (or any other strange Pokémon) given off as facts, because ancient civilizations attributed a plethora of legends to common animals and phenomena.

[@alexandernelson3703]

As far as the Gigantimax starters, I always saw it as a lore thing. In base SwSh there was no way to "give" a Pokemon a Gigantimax form, you had to catch/ be given a Pokemon with the Gigantimax factor. The implication was that it's a matter of genetics, a Pokemon is either born with it or isn't. But Isle of Armor changed all that; to go with the theme of "training" they introduced a way to turn any Pokemon with the potential into a Gigantimax Pokemon. And it also introduced these three forms, which could ONLY be obtained with this method. So the reason they don't grow when they Gigantimax is because they're not 'natural born' Gigantimax Pokemon, but actually just normal Pokemon who trained until they attained Gigantimax-level power.

[@Dexuz]

Oh I actually didn't expect to read something like that, it's quite the cool idea not gonna lie. The problem however is that such a thing is pretty much lore breaker; Gigantamax (Dynamax in general) is not a process in which the Pokémon physically transforms as an evolution or Form change, Dynamax is the space-time around the Pokémon warped by the power of the Dynamax energy, not only it is vaguely stated in a sign, but also shown with the parallelism of Mr. Big Evil Hand spawning memories around its body. So, if the Starters had these rather unique G-max forms, it would only mean they are *more* skilled than regular Pokémon, as they can harness and use that Dynamax energy to warp space in a way other Pokémon cannot.
