I thought of a cool Fakemon idea what if Kitakami had its own starters?

[@levijiles2473]

hoops: and no i was not looking at her butt Me: yeah right LOL jk

[@THE.OLD.CALLER.BRONZONG]

I'm a leaker and I would love to share some things about indigo disk UNOVA with you @HoopsandHipHop Terapagos powers Difference since returning to unova And the new dipplin evolution

[@zimattack9994]

So did anyone else noticed how the man that brought ogrepon looks like an ape long arm short leg and dont for get the mysterious ape from the scarlet and violet book

[@ninomitchell2039]

I'm gonna say if now. If the terapagos thing is true, it's gonna get a mega.

[@ericshelby8813]

One thing I noticed about Kitakami was that the Nosepass there always face north due to their magnetic noses. A nice attention to detail by Game Freak there.

[@BrokenSoulConfession]

When I saw the gameplay, I thought the dirrection they faced were teasing about something. Perhaps a spot where some mons can evolve without using Thunder Stone. 😅

[@katiejohnson6006]

They also did that in legends arceus. It's because they nose points magnetic North like a magnet.

[@xavierperes]

Hey yeah that’s interesting!

[@notgabriel8624]

Not only does this also happen in Legends Arceus it also happens in Pokemon GO!! They always face irl north

[@durk5331]

Fun thing to note, is that Black Currants the fruit that Kieran is named after are actually a Dark Purple, and Carmine is a shade of Crimson >.> so their hair totally matches their names too X3

[@poor_decision]

Yeah, there names in most languages mean blackcurrant and redcurrant also matching their hair

[@hhjan594]

I'm fairly sure Ogerpon is supposed to be a citrus tree, not a peach. Peaches in Japanese media are mostly depicted as pink colored, similar to the old plush you see in Peachey's It makes more sense for Ogerpon to be a citrus tree to have an orange face. Also, the name Oger"pon" likely comes from "Ponkan" which is a species of citrus.

[@rayliur]

The 88 reference is so interesting! I also noticed how the toxic chain accessories that the Lousy Three wear are in the shape/form of 88!

[@rosenrot234]

I kinda figured Ogerpon's face was actually an orange. 2 reasons. The phrase "You're comparing apples to oranges". Kitakami has loads of apples and were afraid of a creature with a orange. Also the Valencia orange. Which had a little mascot for the Fifa World Cup at one point in Spain. And this orange was imported to Spain. So Ogerpon could be from Paldea. Or its at least a reason for a orange looking Pokemon to show up when Scarlet and Violet are in a area based off Spain.

[@xavierperes]

Well that makes sense, also while I expected to see returning Pokémon from generations 1-4 that didn’t appear in the main game as well as lots of brand new Pokémon based on Japanese culture stuff like kaguya hime, yokai and more, even though we only ended up having seven new Pokémon Since kitakami does have an apple tree area, but I didn’t expect a new apple pokemon because we already had applin, so applin was a perfect exception for the rule of old Pokémon returning in the teal mask from generations 1-4, that plus the introduction of dipplin, one of the new Pokémon introduced here and one of applin’s evolutions I wish gamefreak made lots more new Pokémon that fitted not only the Japanese culture that kitakami has but also new Pokémon that fitted the environment of the areas in kitakami similar to dipplin fitting the Apple tree area alongside the rest of the applin line

[@BrokenSoulConfession]

Ogerpon DID arrive at the village with her master. Which implied their non-Kitakami origin.

[@sunla]

That would explain the underripe shiny version!

[@hhjan594]

One more to add: The name Ogerpon should be a combination of Oger and "Ponkan", which is a type of citrus. It makes more sense Ogerpon is a citrus tree. Peaches in Japanese media are typically pink, so it doesn't match Ogerpon's face.

[@chandlergarrison7926]

I just noticed ogerpon's eyes look similar to orange slices as well, i always thought that the peach boy is kieran. Momotaro vanquishes ogre and ogerpon is the ogre and as we see the aggressive behavior from kieran and fighting us for the ogre, i assumed the peach boy story finishes out in the second dc as it is referenced as part 2.

[@MartynAndStuff]

Fun fact: Billy and O'Nare are based on the concept of 'what if we made Sordward and Shieldbert but good'

[@danteswildlife4411]

I don’t think that Ogerpon and her trainer are from Paldea and here’s why: 1.) When you talk to Briar at the Crystal Pool she mentions that the energy there has been identified in other regions besides Paldea. 2.) The hair-style and clothing that Ogerpon’s trainer has (though just a silhouette) is very similar to the style of hair and clothing used by the Native Americans primarily the Navajo. 3.) The crystals in BW2 in Driftvail (like you mentioned) It seems more likely that Ogerpon’s trainer came from Unova and the crystals he brought came as the result of minimal terastal energy within Unova.

[@ChillingDusselgurr]

I think you're mixing up some details. Specifically the first one. Briar is actually surprised (or acts it at least) when she sees the crystals at the pool emitting the same energy as tera crystals in Paldea. She wants to inspect these crystals to find out a way to bring the tera crystal phenomenon to other regions. Since she works at a school in Unova, she wants to do so precisely because tera crystals DON'T exist in Unova. As for the man's clothing, I gotta say idk anything about traditional Navajo clothing beyond a quick google search just now :'D I think if they wanted to go for that though, they would have given the clothing a bit more detail to make it clearer. Because as of now, the man just looks like a buff dude in ripped pants and shirt and a tie to me

[@ChillingDusselgurr]

Ah oh yeah. And with stuff like the crystals in Driftveil you always gotta be careful. BW2 came out many many years before ScaVio started development. Obviously those crystals weren't put there back then to reference tera crystals. Now if the developers remember that specific detail and rework them into a remake or whatever, that's a different story. But they, as of now, are definitely no proof of tera crystal presense in Unova

[@COYBHelix]

In connection to Clay from Unova, Levincia is mentioned by an NPC near Paldea Reality to formerly be a port city for shipping out mined ore…

[@martinhernandez222]

Since Ogerpon is the oni, not Momotaro, it appears to be based on the Ponkan or the Dekopon and not the peach.

[@PkmnTrainerEmerald]

Yeah it seems more like the hidden pokemon of the loyal 3 is the true peach given that the story is reverse and they are evil which looks to be the case for the momotaro leader pokemon

[@riicky83]

The Keiran punching the monument which revived the loyal 3, One theory I've heard was because he was holding the teal mask and a vague connection of its restorative powers to withered plants somehow resurrected the loyal 3.

[@RealMrSir614]

15:10 another thing to mention about the number 8 and the Loyal Three is that the shape of "8" looks like a chain, just like the ones the Loyal Three have in their designs

[@lilharm]

I’m surprised no one’s mentioning this Ogrepon’s face is surrounded by an empty circle with 6 points much like the Terastal symbol, with 6 points and an empty center

[@TheFluffyTheropod]

Fun fact, Kieran’s battle theme actually includes part of the Unova trainer theme!

[@madnessarcade7447]

It does ?

[@aurawarrior1367]

Does it?

[@TheFluffyTheropod]

@@madnessarcade7447 yep, about 32 seconds in if you want to hear it. Listen to that, and then to the part around 41 seconds into the bw trainer theme

[@TheFluffyTheropod]

(His first battle theme, not the final battle btw)

[@BrokenSoulConfession]

Can't believe somebody speculated Perrin is a descendant of MAI, instead of Adaman. Marley will be so sad. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@WonderWizard-ld1bk]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact it added more Johto references, not just with pokemon but with the tunes you can play while taking Pics being straight from the GS radio

[@liamrouen915]

One thing to note the theme is the alpha wild theme when fighting ursaluna

[@goldenwitherphoenix1389]

Ok, something I see no one point out is the small chromatic shift on Kieran in a slow zoom in on him in the scene before we fight him at loyalty plaza for the teal mask. While not overlycommon, I have seen this effect used in media to represent poisoning and hallucinations, though usually along side other effects. One notable series i remember this being in is Ninjago season 1, when characters get sprayed with venomari venom. Wave effects, a pulsing fish eye lense and colour distortiona are more common effects used to represent poison, but Chromatic shifts are still used. Considering that the loyal 3 are all poison types, and we theorise that the mystery pokemon from data mines is poison ghost, its a wonder if perhaps there's a light subtle hinting to a poisoning of his mind in a way. His anger is true, no doubt that he is truly angry and broken, but its being amplified and blown out of proportion by a slow drip of toxins by this mystery poison peach and loyal threes toxic chains. But that's just my theory. Some food for thought.

[@ashtheaxolotl987]

I feel like his mind was starting to be taken over by the peach when he ran to the store and we found him there. I also think the reason that he wanted ogerpon so bad in the end is because he was taken over by the "poison" and wanted to corrupt ogerpon.

[@aleckthegamer3476]

The fact that Blueberry Academy is located in Unova has me wondering if any of the Unovan gym leaders or Iris or even Cynthia will visit the Blueberry Academy for a battle.

[@josemiguel1283]

I heard Rumors the next legends game is based in Kanto. But we do deserve a game where they finally introduce the Original Kyurem.

[@ashtheaxolotl987]

A neat thing I noticed is at the tip of the chains that are around the loyal 3, you can see the silhouette of the peach pokemon 😮

[@Southernanna]

Omg I’m so earlier please make a Pokémon starters based of mythological I have and it’s a blast and I want to see your versions and the fakemon artsiest version.

[@Dustythecat11]

I think the third form will the sphere in the scarlet/violet book and I think you can only see it when battling terapagos and one you defeat it you can catch it

[@vincentking2552]

Just noticed the black spikey ring around ogerpons face, looks a bit like Arceus gold ring.

[@briannas601]

Fun fact, in both DLC's, when Kieran is mad or upset, or just throughout most of Indigo Disc, he has no eye shines. But, when you first meet him, when he's happy or lying to look happy, and when he becomes your friend at the end of Indigo Disc, he does have eye shines. Also, in Kieran's room in Blueberry, if you got to the kitchenette and interact with it, it says it looks like it hasn't been used in a while, indicating that he wasn't eating during his training to be better than the player.

[@hyruleprotector6897]

Don't know if someone mentioned it but, the Legends Arceus battle theme doesn't actually play during Ursaluna. Its actually a rendition of the Alpha Battle theme

[@jodamora7338]

Interesting & thanks for sharing. Also, am I the only one who noticed that Okidogi looks similar to Zarude. Lastly, those evil three & Zarude may or may not be from the same unknown Pokémon region that hasn't been revealed yet.

[@fatefulthreads]

Dude good catch

[@twofortiel]

I keep hearing that day and night alternate between Paldea and Kitakami, but I swear they’re synched in my game with it being day in both and night in both.

[@ToastingCheesetoo]

Mine aren’t synced but definitely have a lot of overlap

[@SionDracul]

Me and my wife got Tungsten wedding rings. Heads up, the CAN'T be altered by a jeweler, the tools they use are actually softer than the rings. I lost quite a bit of weight after marriage and now need to by a new set, since the old ones just slide off

[@Marshadowthemarshmallow]

I believe that the trainer of ogerpon was from hisui because if you look on the desk you see a zoroark mask and to me it looks similar to the mask alec wears in the hisuian snow anime.

[@thomaspeters7515]

Now you've mention 8, if you add all 3 of the poison circles on there chains, 1+3+4 they equal 8 too

[@RoyArkon]

I actually didn't notice that Blueberry Academy is from Unova, that really gives the possibility of a new Unova game coming soon. Excellent video once again dude, keep it up.

[@HoopsandHipHop]

Thank you!! 😊

[@BrokenSoulConfession]

It's pretty much in the first lines of dialogue (with Briar & Jacq) in the DLC... 😅

[@justsomerandomdudeontheint9859]

surprised that you didn’t put Perrin on the thumbnail, based on recent trends

[@ashtheaxolotl987]

One of my theories is that the peach pokemon. Is going to be the main villain, you can see its shell? At the store. You probably saw something like this on Reddit, this is where I got the main idea, but it states that the peach Pokemon is evil and it is mind controlling the poison trio and that the chains around them might be what's controlling them, and Kiki also might be mind controlled by the peach, and that also kind of explains why at the end, he wanted, Ogrepon so bad, because he wanted to mind control and corrupt him. In the files of the game, the pokemon are labeled as zombies, and there are other pokemon labeled as zombies as well. if anything looks weird about my text, it's because I'm using speech to text

[@RanaBlanca89]

I thought you would show your excitement about the fire and grass combo but it’s fine. What about a video about your opinion of cross evolutions on paldea or that new thing like wiglett and Toedscool for example

[@HoopsandHipHop]

I do really enjoy the grass/fire Ogerpon for sure!! I like all the Ogerpon forms!

[@ValBurns-c2f]

Also the toxic chain worn by the Loyal bears some resemblance to the "Time Skull" that was the villains' vehicle in Time Bokan. Seems appropriate because the land of Kitakami resembles Showa era Japan and appears to be designed to help inspire a sense of nostalgia in players.

[@irisnephertiri2016]

16:42 Oni Mountain and the surrounding area is thought by many Japanese people to be inspired by the real Mt Osore in Japan, the Buddhist gateway to hell. The crystal pool is also shaped like Lake Usori, which is located on the Mt., and both are volcanic bodies of water. It's really cool how Nintendo puts a creative spin on real locations, history, and folktales.

[@pilot_aki]

Has BM Ursaluna’s Sugimori artwork been released yet?

[@HoopsandHipHop]

Not yet, the one in the thumbnail is fan art! The artist is linked in the description!

[@pilot_aki]

@@HoopsandHipHop Oh wow, it looks very convincing that it almost had me fooled.

[@StanleySophana]

Rumor has it that a Pokemon Legends: Kyurem would feature the Original Dragon depicted with 3 heads

[@M_Alexander]

My guess is that Terapogos might get a unique, non-player battle form similar to Eternamax Eternatus

[@Riomy13]

One thing that I find kinda cute is that at the festival, Kieran buys you a candy apple and mentions afterwards that there's a pokémon that looks like a candy apple in the region. And in the next battle after that, he has his signature pokémon, Applin in his team. Guess someone got inspired that day.

[@cjrobinson210]

Weird that Kieran's name refers to dark but Carmine has all the dark type Pokemon for the DLC rivals.

[@DevinTroll]

ogerpon is a citrus not a peach :( bulbapedia: Ogerpon may be derived from ogre and ponkan or dekopon (varieties of orange), as well as ～ぽん -pon, a cutesy suffix applied to names as a form of endearment.

[@mrblue232]

That part about the 8s made me notice that Okidogi and Fezandipity have an 8 in their toxic chain

[@dedsecturbotowns6069]

One detail I feel like I should mention is that the indigo disk IS NOT a separate DLC. It's the 2ed part of ONE DLC. We can't buy them separately after all.

[@ConnorGarrett]

Another thing to mention. If you transfer a shiny ursaluna from arceus into scarlet and violet with the Kitakami dex. You can see what shiny blood moon ursaluna looks like.

[@GoranDubravic]

The loyal three in the Teal Mask are a pain to catch and Carmine is so mean to her brother Kieran!

[@9791mij]

When I fought Carmine for the final time when you get an advantage critical She says line similar to one of Hisui Misfortune Bandits. I can only remember I bet they treat you like something.

[@ValBurns-c2f]

Looks like the Loyal Three may also be references to the bad guys of the old Time Bokan series

[@thomaspeters7515]

Now you've mention 8, if you add all 3 of the poison circles on there chains, 1+3+4 they equal 8 too

[@madnessarcade7447]

At some point after the ultimate weapon AZ left kalos and along the way he met and bonded with ogrepon he lived in paldea for awhile then left to kitakami and then all that happens He tried to recreate his bond with floette with another pokemon but it backfired Shit hit the fan and he bailed was presumed dead and then at some point he went back to kalos It’s close enough to paldea for this to work AZ is the only one who would be that tall and fits the build

[@mrblue232]

That's a good theory! Did they say what happened with the man in the dlc? I can't recall

[@jaylenallan5524]

Am I the only one who kinda saw the connection to unova because of the type boosting gems from that region and the bonus for terastalizing in paldea?

[@Syiepherze]

Ogerpon is not a peach. She's more likely a kind of citrus fruit or orange. Her star motifs even look like citrus/orange blossoms The Loyal Three's shinies are likely inspired by the colors of the IRL animals they're based on: Akita inu (or similar), Green pheasant, and Japanese macaque

[@xLigamer]

I am watching this when the indigo disk came out. Terapagos' "tera form" was actually not a tera form. It was an attack form and the new form is the tera form.

[@Vanilla_Smoke_YT]

I feel like kitakami is located in the land of Sinjo. Kitakami is a very Japanese styled place but nowhere we’ve seen before making me think it would be in between Kanto, Johto, Hoen, and Sinnoh it would be perfect seeing that Kitakami has no coast and the other regions would fit around it perfectly.

[@Sun-rv5lh]

FYI, Carmine is actually a shade of red! I noticed a color in my old marker set and it said there on a redish-orange color- Carmine!

[@jormungand72]

I play the games in Japanese, and "Uva" or "Naranja" is a term I have never heard in game. They are called Grape and Orange in Japanese (グレープ と オレンジ).

[@Syiepherze]

It's a translation choice in the English version

[@blob5880]

Actually another interesting fact about the “hells valley” reference is that it’s a place in the north of Japan

[@SinCityYetiArt]

As soon as I discovered the backstory of the Loyal Three in the game it made me ponder if we already know which Pokémon the Loyal Three were. Paldea has three new Pokémon that work. Bombirdier, Grafaiai, and Dachsbun. Bombirdier is already a pretty bird, what if there was an ugly one? Grafaiai is based on a delinquent/street artist, which society views as dumb. Dachsbun is a Fairy type which could be viewed as a weak type by manly men.
