[@kidakaze]

I think the Pinsir/Scyther theory is scraping the barrel a bit, seems more like a coincidence considering Scyther is named after its SCYTHE shaped arm blades and Pinsir is named for its large PINCER shaped horned

[@ClownHoundII]

Yeah it's like saying Charmander and Manky are both connected to each other and are strictly male because they have "man" in their names. It's a dumb pass off as "fact".

[@IAmMissingnoMaster]

The "pincer" and "scythe" origins are beyond obvious, true enough, but honestly, I don't know if I can call this mere coincidence. If it was just one of them, OK, sure, or if they weren't actually connected in any way, yeah, but these were version-exclusive counterparts back in the day, and for one to have "sir" in the name _and_ the other to have "her"? That goes a bit beyond what I'd be willing to accept as mere coincidence

[@michaelryan1767]

Everyone here seems to be missing the fact that these are the *English* names and that no such gender 'link' exists in the original Japanese afaik.

[@KittytheKatfish]

I think the Alola name fact is just a coincidence. Aloha is a well known hawaiian word and the change of one letter can be just a similiar idea of different people

[@keyframeclips]

Clearly this

[@ClownHoundII]

Or Game Freak was doing play on words like they usually do.

[@elliot_rat]

biggest cap i seen today and i even went to the big hat store

[@VixstraLarge]

And it's like... A-Lola... how did that go over his head-

[@manueljaramillo2520]

That Alola theory is SUCH a stretch. But I guess that’s par for the course with theories from Hoops. 😂 EDIT: Ok nah, that Litleonids meteor shower theory easily takes the cake. 😂😂😂

[@TBustah]

A secret bar is WAY more tame than what I was thinking when I heard the phrase “Adult Room”. Hey, don’t look at me like that. Those early games were hardly devoid of suggestive content. In fact, some of it was in Celadon City. Remember the old dude peeping at the girls in the gym? Remember the hotel around the corner, where the guy was bemoaning the fact that his girlfriend let her little brother come with them?

[@VixstraLarge]

And that thumbnail doesn't help

[@TBustah]

@@VixstraLarge I hadn’t even noticed that. When I’m using KZbin on my phone, the thumbnails in the notification list are pretty of small, so I must not’ve seen the writing on the sign and made the connection.

[@MidnightLugia24]

15:05 Another point against this theory is that the usual pairings are him/her & sir/ma'am. Additionally, with nothing else in their designs or coding supporting this, it feels like a huge stretch on a minor coincidence that is more likely than not wholly unintentional.

[@ClownHoundII]

Yeah it feels less like a fact and a more of a half baked theory. I bet I can find other pokemon that have "sir" and "her" in their names but aren't strictly male/female.

[@bingbongdingdong867]

​@@ClownHoundII he does this sometimes tbh

[@MarS-267]

Well there's MotHIM and WorMADAM but I totally agree with your second point

[@ninomitchell2039]

​@MarS-267 those are connected though, being a branched evolution.

[@BloodedBleiz]

Seeing Lockstins Slug mon in your background is awesome. I love when poketubers support one another

[@KittytheKatfish]

Small addition to 11:50 and the metoer shower every 11 years: The activity of the sun works in a cycle of 11 years, which is why ever 11 years northern/southern lights are more likely to appear, even at places where they usually dont happen. That was actually the case this year.

[@keturahwilson3366]

When you said that OR/AS came out 11 years after the original games, and mentioned that next year will be 11 years since OR/AS came out, it made me wonder if they are thinking of another remake for OR/AS, or perhaps even considering a Legends Hoenn kind of game. Even if they aren't, it still would be cool to see the meteor shower in Legends Z-A regardless.

[@knight1167]

The dragon quest( DQ)/Alola connection could be either an insperation from DQ, due to that series being an early influence on RPG games that came after it, or just two sources using the same thing.

[@danielstokes2127]

I figured that looking up to Nemona was because we were shorter than her

[@shelbybayer200]

Wouldn't work since your height doesn't change at All in the game.

[@danielstokes2127]

@ true I was just thinking in the beginning

[@spooky_the_vixen]

I'm sorry but the Pinsir and Scyther one is a massive stretch

[@blitzie66]

[@samuelebertinazzi4468]

Fun Fact:Beni's restaurant name in Italian is the same as Wally(in italian)

[@Dan55888]

Wow that Alola thing is an EXTREME stretch... I'm sorry but that is why I typically consider this channel to be WAY less informative than others... not to mention the sometimes clickbait titles that mislead to sound like you have new information on future games but really it's just a video of guesses

[@MidnightLugia24]

100% agree

[@keyframeclips]

Yeah, couldn’t possibly just be from changing one letter of the very common word aloha of the state that the region is based on.

[@elliot_rat]

content farm shits

[@Piddlesticks]

That last fact is the biggest stretch i’ve heard in a long while

[@ShotgunLlama]

"The camera is always positioned to be looking up at [Nemona]" As he literally shows an aerial shot of her from above

[@WompWompWoooomp]

"Gender wasn't a thing yet in generation 1" Nidoran♂️ and Nidoran♀️: "Are we a joke to you?"

[@Mystmon]

The haunted house would have been pretty awesome. I wonder what its background music would have been.

[@Dani_Salinko358]

Probably either the typical cave theme or maybe the music for the Burned Tower. Maybe even the Lighthouse/Mount Silver theme.

[@flareblitz198]

"I've never heard anything about Scyther and Pinsir being gender counterparts from name puns" Yeah probably because that's stupid. Scyther is more skewed towards the male side of the spectrum anyway

[@singsongsign]

As soon as you said "Adult room", I thought it would be a strip club or something.

[@boubayaga_]

Even after he showed the tables I still thought it was a strip club lol

[@tyujg7495.]

7:00 I think you over think this one

[@RayZanardi]

That Nemona fact blew my mind, such an interesting detail

[@Josh_Wen]

Alola is also a word in Nyanja, a Bantu language spoken by over 15 million people in Southern Africa. It translates to They Have Allowed It, which ties in really solidly with the whole Tapu lore for Alola.

[@RowanTS]

The shiny beta sprites one is crazy. How you find unique facts even now is crazy.

[@zersky495]

7:43 people are just making up words nowadays

[@angelsnyder6381]

You can even say the fact on the litleonieds goes even farther with Kalos because it was the generation and region that introduced litleo as Pokemon.

[@flareinc7413]

I love your Fakemon-designs so much and am so happy how far you have been able to reach with them ^_^

[@silverriku12]

With how the original shiny colors came about, the cut Pokémon colors being used is really just a coincidence. If the original shiny colors had been an actual choice rather than a coding thing, we wouldn't have ended up with so much green lol

[@Weeblicker]

Also Z-A would be omega - alpha

[@repkar5828]

Alola was the perfect chance to copy Dragon Quest Hoolagan and actually do something with Jynx for once.

[@madnessarcade7447]

7:35 tajiri got the idea from trading from looking at the link cable and Pokémon always resembled earthbound more than dq

[@bewearstar9462]

And dragon quest 2 rare items

[@between_mistral_and_mahrinui]

the planned attic map for haunted house really looks a lot like one of the later rooms in hippowdon temple (shadows of almia)? the one with leaf springs and victreebell. maybe the sand-beige color is making it seem especially similar though

[@stevenjohnson6962]

Also thinking if you're character in oras is around 10 years old and you're parents in game went to see the meteor shower then as a date. Does that mean that might be night you're player character got conceived. Am I thinking to far into things?? 😅

[@UltimatePhantasm]

Brendan and May are confirmed as 12 so its possible

[@medicinal_soul]

I think gender was a thing to a degree with Nidorino and Nidoran

[@zackelliott7230]

Haunted House is probably where you were supposed to get misdrevious

[@PokeMadness1996]

10:37 what other pieces of Pokémon media did PLA reference

[@toastytoast77]

I think a bubch of the characters are just clearly ancestors

[@LOTD207]

Rayquaza Legends za, the legendary Rayquaza rises again?!?!?! 15:05 hehehe…and then there was Heracross

[@grin_of_grimmsnarl1333]

The Dragon Quest devs should sue Nintendo with retroactive patents/trademarks/copyrights on "Alola"

[@xavierperes]

One thing I hope the teraleak shows next is all the several hundreds of cut Pokémon from gen 2 since hoop’s mentioned in one of his videos that there are several hundreds of cut Pokémon from gen 2

[@dg3734]

Where's proof for the very first point?

[@VG_Winch]

In Gen 1... Rhyhorn and Charizard have the same cry. There ya go. 👌🏼

[@rainbowdragon168]

I love these fact videos! I like the hidden dialogue and cut content facts mentioned in the video! Awesome video ❤

[@RoyArkon]

Amazing video once again, and great find regarding the 11-year cycle with the meteorites. If it does happen again in LZA that would be insane.

[@oucyan]

Beni is also Aaron's Ancestor. Beni uses a bug team after all

[@GarrettStelly]

As if Gamefreak didn't have enough going against them, they tried to convince kids to get a fake ID

[@djmk211]

Did you know that Goldix is a better name for shiny Steelix It is also my favourite pokémon and I look for both Goldix and Steelix

[@toastytoast77]

This sounds like something an in-game character would say before a battle

[@djmk211]

@toastytoast77 no just no

[@bakedcurse]

So about the Nemona camera fact, it isn't Abou "looking up to her" but more like your pokemon is small, so the camera goes low to the ground.

[@toastytoast77]

Does it still do that angle if you use small pokemon in the other fight, though?

[@nixsilvermist5598]

is it possible to white out during the battle with N before you talk to cedric? it’s been awhile since i’ve played and can’t find any specific answers like does N throw out klink as his first mon? if not is it possible to white out and progress past him without ever seeing the klink? or did they make winning that fight necessary to progress?

[@EasterIslander13]

I am the top scyther fan and idk I think that scyther is just scythe with an extra letter that makes it a unique word. BTW that scrapped pinsir evolution is terrifying lol

[@R-Otaku747]

YES DRAGON QUEST HAS BEEN MENTIONED!! My fav JRPG series of all time!

[@R-Otaku747]

I’d be happy if there was a channel like yours for dragon quest.

[@elliot_rat]

how do you think the name "evan" is pronounced?

[@toastytoast77]

Ethan, not Evan

[@TBustah]

Was the nickname of that DQ monster the same in the Japanese original, though? The English translators for Dragon Quest tend to rewrite the wordplay so that it makes sense rather than doing exact translations. With as much as Japanese people visit Hawaii, I’m sure that they’re familiar enough with “aloha”, but the western name Lola? I’m not so sure. In fact, given that the Japanese language doesn’t distinguish between L and R, it could just as easily be pronounced as “Arora”. With that generation’s theme of celestial bodies, maybe what they were actually doing with the name of the region was making a play on “aurora”, and DQ had nothing to do with it.

[@Marcachancho3D]

I love your videos but man I hate your fakemons

[@MidnightLugia24]

Same. I kinda wish he'd just have two channels at this point: one for the fact videos, and one for all his fakemon & fake regions.

[@kylebuffkin7514]

PinsHer and ScytHim

[@jarrodnisly3333]

Pinsir and Scyther are both found at the Safari Zone, alongside the Nidoran families: the only other Pokemon to have distinct gender differences at the time. Coincidence?

Technically, gender was a thing in Gen 1 with the gendered Nidorans. When will Pokemon Company get there crap together and just make Nidoran♂ and Nidoran♀the same Pokemon with split Evolutions?

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

That would require either leaving a gap or reworking the entire Pokedex.

[@SmartAlec86]

@@OtakuUnitedStudio Perhaps. But that's what I'd do if I made a Pokemon game, including reworking the PokeDex (which would only require shifting the numbers by 1). And the National Dex could still keep the genders separate. I'm just saying what I'd do for the Regional PokeDex.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

@@SmartAlec86 Even just shifting them by one is going to make several people very upset, because they have to re-learn the numbers for their favorites.
