How Do Pokemon Get Their Names?

[@EvilMEPlaysGames-p9d]

I only play phony words in Scrabble

[@eliarthur6868]

How dare you

[@elius1548]

Day 1 + 1 of trying to get EvilMEPlaysGames to have more subscribers than the light

[@Gloomdrake]

You mean Phione words?

[@anthonybenci9035]

It is only because of this account that I realided that MEPlaysGames used to have a left handed controller as their pfp

[@sowiecka7966]

Druddigon is accurate representation of how our parents and bootleg/parodies-makers think Pokémon look like

[@emajorjr95]

Despite Druddigon having the ability sheer force it gets no stab move that can benefit from this ability

[@gavinaaric]

Dragon moves can be a hit or miss sometimes, still better than some types like rock which have no reliable physical or special move (well… sometimes but most rocks are physical atkers

[@alexgibson781]

9:25 Technically not the name origin, but the Mareep line could also be a reference to the book "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?", what the film Blade Runner is based on.

[@gavinaaric]

Seel? I wonder what it is?

[@Gold-u9n]

Box Pokémon

[@Dimis-n4p]

Is it the seel Pokémon?????????

[@bananaspice1967]

A cat

[@NovaMaster375]

Dewgong

[@hitkid2456]

POW-WOW

[@AshtonMonitor]

I need to contest the flamigo segment - its body is in the shape of a boxing glove, and it’s general shape is so simplified and plasticky that it more closely resembles a flamingo lawn ornament than an actual flamingo.

[@nathanblackburn1193]

Reminds me of how Golisopod's name comes from Goliath and Isopod yet some people still pronounce it Go-liss-o-pod instead of Go-lie-so-pod

[@jessehammer123]

I pronounce it “goh-LISS-oh-puh-pod” because I like saying it that way and YOLO.

[@StarkidPhil]

And Muk is an anagram for the elements that create it; namely Potassium and Um, the element of confusion.

[@danielwilson8604]

Um..... k...

[@Unnamedchannel5321]

4:50 there’s 2 other nations on Iberia, being Andorra, a really small country, and the United Kingdom, due to their ownership of Gibraltar.

[@gingerkays7362]

Why does NOBODY EVER talk about how there’s a Scandinavian mythical creature called “gengangare” that is a ghost, and likely another origin of Gengar’s name?!

[@acoolperson9045]

"Lechonk" is basically "Foodfat"

[@andrewisgood]

Hake has this reddish tint to it when it's filleted. I used to deliever fish and would pack hake. It was usually a special order.

[@MiniOre2]

2:46 wait this is genuinely useful i got canker sores rn

[@pemanilnoob]

I haven’t seen this channel before, and that’s a real shame, this is really entertaining!! Youve gotten a new sub, keep it up, love your funny banter

[@CyberchaoX]

I've also heard people pronounce Honedge as if it were from "honor" and "edge" as this also creates the pun with "on edge". Also, I'm pretty sure that the root for Lucario, "O-ri-ca-ru", is supposed to be "oracle".

[@Cloud_Dancer]

9:19 The Ogre part of Kyogre’s name is a corruption on the word Orca, since its appearance is close to that of an orca whale

[@RubyRider-m6b]

Flamigo may also come from flamenco(or flamengo in portuguese),it's a spanish dance that requires a lot of agile fancy footwork which would explain the fighting type,sincerely a brazillian who gets annoyed when people think it's a lazy name,also it's probably unrelated but flamengo is a famous brazillian football/soccer team so more footwork,i love etymology in general

[@m3rcher]

You guys are awesome, love your videos ❤

[@Jasonwolf1495]

If you replace nacl in all those pokemons names with Salt, it still sounds right. Salti, saltsack, and gargasalt.

[@pokeperson1000]

Stack?

[@DoofusMctoofus]

a Dopple-*GENGAR*

[@dragonmaster613]

Kabuto is also the name of a bug in Japan

[@PabloNeves26]

Glad to see some Portuguese recognition!

[@lerdog]

6:08 not really tho. His body also represents a boxing glove (alluding to the Fighting type), which is a pretty creative design

[@krabsolfurretisme]

you guys are my favorite heterosexual couple

[@bugorgans]

mattette and elias

[@MicoDossun]

In my opinion they are meant to be pronounced “Salti” “Saltstack” and “Gargasalt”

[@EinSilverRose]

Don't hate on my bird Flamigo. Sometimes a simple design is just better.

[@VictorPS1706]

STOP MENTIONING MY LANGUAGE (spanish) OK no, that's fine

[@noammkw3770]

i think we all are missing the point of flamigo of having a beak thats a fist

[@Birdsflight44]

There are good singular elements to its design, but none of them are pushed far enough for it to matter. It couldn't even pull off the Gen 1 level of simplicity correctly, proving that designs like Seel, Ponyta and Persian actually had something going for them. Therefore, its a failure. Which is a shame- the concept isn't bad (I'd probably have one if Pokemon were real ngl) if it had a few more drafts, AND we had that amazing leaked flamingo concept, too.

[@noammkw3770]

@@Birdsflight44 ture, i'd like to see an evolution with a boxing glove on its face, that'll be funny i have a feeling it'll get an evolution in a future gen, as its a great pokemon but so lacking in design

[@ceulgai2817]

0:10 Or it's skin 👀 1:00 Don't forget "murk," meaning to put a fool on ice And yes, the video editing has been greatly honed! Great job, boys

[@salmoncashew1785]

I love how straight you are and how you guys definitely aren’t dating and how I don’t have fanart of you guys kissing

[@GothitallicaALT]

Druddigon? Ah man I haven’t actually used that Pokemon yet. It seems cool though. I wouldn’t mind using it one day

[@TheHerbySage]

“Elías is allergic to Beef, Pork Mutton, and Veal.” 😂

[@robertlupa8273]

*"Your pupils are too round."* 😂 What kinda insult is that?

[@astropult9377]

I just realized ME stands for Matt and Elias

[@pokemonherogaming4669]

Can someone PLEASE explain why Veluza has 70 base speed? Is speed action speed? If so that would explain Pokemon like Vikavolt.

[@danielwilson8604]

Wait... we feed our dogs leftover candles? Is that... safe?

[@Solo0707]

Floragato's name is made up of the Spanish words for flower and cat. It literally translates to flowercat

[@juliatorre8803]

Big Blue Bragon

[@Xachpro5475]

0:06 look at there teams 💀

[@gligarguy4010]

Elias had a theory 😮

[@Regeor]

Honedge hater? So you have chosen death!

[@josejoestrela493]

sharpedo 💀

[@meru_west]

i wonder where druddigon's name came from

[@xfucjygkvlkbjhgcvm]

sharpedo is for jeffrey epstein and shar

[@shep4184]

MAREEP LINE MENTION LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@lium24]

sharpedo.hmmmmm... take away the shar...

[@noodlespoo]

Druddigon is probably drudgery + dragon, referencing its boring design and lack of evolutions

[@pokeperson1000]

Love the flubs

[@badeatervlogsandmemes2128]

How is Druddigon officially classified as a “red” Pokémon?

[@MEPlaysGames]

we’ll get to that

[@badeatervlogsandmemes2128]

@ It would be interesting to see another KZbinr to look over the odd decision-making process that was the Pokémon Home color filter.

[@Ze_Carrot]

Its so funny that its so hard for English speakers to say any german word

[@clottedfishd2928]

0:07 HOW

[@Kthebloxburgcitizen]

Fun fact: druddigon’s name origin comes from the words, dragon, ruddy (meaning reddish in color), and crimson which is a shade of red KID DRUDDI KID DRUDDI KID DRUDDIIIIIIII

[@samuelebertinazzi4468]

Dragonair...

[@hello_this_is_ice]

druddigon

[@Zelda_skydiving]

Omg people who always say nacli is just a reference to NaCl which is salt, YOU ARE ALL WRONG. You able salt almost always has iodine added to it, and you know what iodine that has been added to table salt is? NaClI, or table salt

[@MEPlaysGames]

Like we said in the video, table salt is NaCl. Iodized salt is a mixture of pure salt and a separate compound including iodine, like NaI. Iodized salt is not one compound

[@theincrediblefella4513]

no

[@AlexisOkoye-b6z]

Incineroar got its name from incinerate everything and everyone.

[@henryzx900ruly2]

me play game

[@Socioromanticism]

Gen V's animated sprites look bad, and Druddigon is one of the examples why.
