"A human became a Pokemon? That has so many implications." Yes, yes it does. Canonically, in text from the games themselves, human and Pokemon are pretty much the same thing. There are stories of an age where they *were* the same, getting married, having children with each other, etc. At some point they split off from each other, but some Pokemon retain their human connections. Mostly ghost Pokemon, which are often (though not always!) formed from human souls, but also things like Kadabra, which canonically (according to the in-game Pokedex, at least) used to be a psychic human child that woke up one day transformed into a Pokemon, in a very Kafka-esque scenario.

the whole "Geralt of Rivia" trivia bit actually goes deeper and is honestly one of my favorite backstory twists ive seen in writing...As mentioned, Witchers make up fake knighthood titles to gain favor with potential employers BUT Geralt actually becomes knighted by the queen of Rivia (Meve) when he stumbles on them fighting a losing battle with Nilfgard for a bridge crossing...and since Geralt and his party had to cross they ended up winning the battle for Rivia and rewarded with knighthood. So he never lived there...made up the title...but eventually became a true knight and actually Geralt of Rivia

Within the show’s lore, Toffee was a indestructible warlord who killed Moon’s mother, and was then humiliated when teen Moon cut off one of his fingers with a spell that was intended to kill him (she got this spell from Eclipsa, a former queen of Mewni who was imprisoned due to using dark magic and falling in love with a monster). Toffee takes over Ludo’s castle at the end of season one, and then forces Star to destroy her wand with the Whispering Spell as part of his big revenge plan against Moon. From there, he becomes a wand and begins taunting the realm of magic, takes over Ludo at the end of season 2 and kills a majority of the magic counsel, and does end up temporarily killing Star. This is all his own plans, he never does any of this when he shortly worked for Ludo.

That Banette question was really, REALLY nitpicky (which I get is part of the show, but still incredibly frustrating) because when you're referring to Pokemon, saying they have an evolution means that they have another form after that Pokemon, such as Wartortle into Blastoise. Saying it has no evolutionary line is more accurate. However, in Pokemon X and Y, Banette DOES get the option to "evolve" into Mega Banette.

[@hatrackgames2648]

Yeah ask anyone the question "Does Banette have an evolution" to almost anyone familiar with pokemon and they'll say no, and not because they're wrong, but because they literally do not define Shuppet as an evolution.

Um actually, it is called, "The Nasty in the Past-y" but that isn't what makes it not "random". Yes, it was caused by the Nasty in the Past-y, but because Nibler knew that he had the delta mutation is why he froze Fry in the first place; Nibbler didn't know why the delta brain wave mutation occurred. However, the mutation was not "random" because it was one of the first paradoxes. It was always meant to be. Thus, not "random" but rather, pre-destined.

[@YMasterS]

What you're saying doesn't contradict it being random. Anything that was random can be looked at after the fact once the outcome is known, that doesn't mean the outcome wasn't random.

[@jayjeckel]

9:11 Um, actually, that is how "number values" work in computing as most programming languages use zero-based indexing instead of one-based. The question is, what was laws[0] set to before the introduction of this new law or was that element simply left null before that point.

Fun fact, Geralt picked his name as a child, then Years later he by chance helped the queen of Rivia win an important battle and was officially knighted Geralt of Rivia

[@N00bonDuty]

Um actually, to say that Geralt has invented his backstory wholesale is incorrect. Geralt was actually knighted by queen Meve, who gave him the official title "of Rivia". So while he did initially make it all up, taking the knight title unofficially, he is *actually* not bullshitting about his title anymore, he is actually knighted "Sir Geralt of Rivia" by the queen of Lyria and Rivia.

[@galli0]

Um, actually he still isn't _from_ Rivia which was the thing that was wrong

[@N00bonDuty]

@@galli0 Wasn't correcting the initial statement, but Traps off-hand statement after he gave the contestants the correct answer, implying that the title "of Rivia" is completely bogus. It was complete bogus when Geralt first took the name, but was no longer bogus after Geralt was knighted.

[@lolbubs11111]

It's correct to say "he invented that backstory for himself wholesale," which is Trapp's statement (starting 27:30), even if the title was post-facto given to Geralt. Trapp later says it's his "official title" (27:54). This show misses on minor details with some regularity, but I don't think this is it.

[@jplayzow]

Um, Actually... Banette does NOT have an evolution it evolves from Shuppet but it does not itself have an evolution that's a pre-evolution.

[@boryavasili]

Um, Actually, Bahamut was called "The Draconian" in Final Fantasy 15, but his appearance was much more akin to a human in dragon-themed equipment, so I feel like that should have been mentioned in the Bahamut question. I also feel like it's a more appropriate answer than a warship in Final Fantasy 12 being named after him, but that's just my take since this was an entity known as Bahamut and not a vehicle.

[@boryavasili]

I wish I used Twitter, but maybe they will still see this and think it is neat trivia. :|

[@danniluxgarbe429]

Also: "Um, Actually", Final Fantasy X, X-2, and VII are in the same universe. Spoilers for FFVII: In the distant future of X-2, the peoples of Spira developed space travel, found The Planet of FVII (it's literally just called The Planet) some time after JENOVA landed, settled there, and Shinra (FFX-2)'s descendants founded the Shinra Power Company.

Um actually, banette doesnt just have shuppet as a pre-evolution, it also has Mega-banette as it's mega evolution which was introduced in generation 6

"That's not how number systems work" -> But it is how laws building semantically on each other work, should you realize you forgot an overarching one. -> zeroth law of thermodynamics.

[@nerd_world8919]

18:04 not sure if it’s truly accurate to say Banette has evolutions. Shuppet is a pre-evolution. Saying Banette has an evolution implies that it becomes something else but it is at its final form. Although I may be wrong about that one

[@akidudontknow]

It has a mega evolution, which I thought was going to be the answer, so I'm with you on the question being worded weirdly

[@richardchesser6446]

Um, actually, in the final season of SVTFOE its revealed that mewmans are humans that just stumbled into mewnie, via the realm of magic... But this show might predate that revelation

Also, with the Bahamut question: each numbered game is NOT exactly taking place in a seperate world, and I’m not counting any that are “Final Fantasy Number -2” or “Final Fantasy Number : insert subtitle here.” In fact it is heavily implied (by one of the producers that worked on both games as well as 10-2) that Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 10 share a common world as well.

I've consistently noticed that every time there is a pokemon question, if it is anything outside like gen 1 surface level knowledge the contestants don't usually get it. I don't expect most people to have an in-depth knowledge about Pokemon but these people are usually able to remember extremely specific stuff from like every other more obscure thing. Even on their Pokemon themed episode none of them really knew anything about Pokemon. It's one of the few things I need out about and always wish I could participate on another Pokemon themed one lol.

Um actually, I don’t think “Banette has no evolution” is a strictly incorrect statement. Banette cannot evolve (unless Megas are new evolutions) so it has no evolution, whether it evolves FROM anything has no affect on whether it has an evolution.

I mean, mega evolution has evolution in the name, therefore making it an evolution

Um actually, when you say a pokemon has an evolution it refers to what it can evolve Into, not what it evolved from. Therefore the phrase "Banette has no evolution" is correct as Banette can only mega evolve and not go through a permanent evolution into another pokemon

[@mikamoschella3410]

5:16 Um Actually, in a strange way, Devon stumbled across a correct answer? In DDR X3 vs 2ndMix from 2011, there was a sort of throwback mode to emulate the early days of DDR, where charts had difficulties 1-9 and each number had a subtitle, 8 was Exorbitant, 9 was Catastrophic, idr the rest. However, they added the song Paranoia Revolution, the hardest song in the game at the time, to that mode, and it's difficulty was a 10, subtitled "Revolutionary."

[@mikamoschella3410]

Also worth adding bc this is an actual error: Um Actually, The hardest difficulty in DDR is not "True God," what they got this from is a sort of "ranking system" from DDR Supernova 2. Based on your performance on songs and their groove radar scores, you built up a meter for your rank, and True God was the final tier of that ranking. Standard song difficulties in DDR since 2006 have been: Beginner, Basic, Difficult, Expert, and Challenge.
