[@ameliafeyparsons4816]

We have to get a Jacob Apology Video 😅

[@vlinderfin]

Yeah, I will concede that there is basically nothing in Kelfkey's original design that indicates that it steals things, like Jacob made it look more malicious which does do a better job of indicating that, even though Klefkey is not meant to be malicious it steals things to hide not to be a jerk, but, I feel like it does kind of get lost in translation when other pokemon have objects attached to them or that they hold that are seemingly just part of their body or at least that they have since they are born, so by comparison Kelfkey could just be normal keys just from looking at it, this is part of the reason why I try not to judge pokemon until I know the lore, cause especially in later gens the lore is usually better than the actual design, lmao

Yeah, I will concede that when compared to other mons who do just have objects that are part of their body or are present from birth it does look like it could just be keys and because it's meant to be sort of innocent and not doing anything bad on purpose rather than explicitly malicious like Jacob's is, the design doesn't really do much to characterize it as a thief, but that is kind of part of the point of it's character and stuff, so yeah

[@somethingbanter]

it's really funny how they were describing the kind of Pokémon that Klefki *should* be when it already is a little fairy that steals your keys. The keys are not part of its body. It stole those. The ring on its body is able to unclip and it is actually long noodly arms that it just keeps in a loop shape while it is holding the keys.

[@Suzu_Cat]

Sorry but i just really need to point out that Jacobs concept for Klefki is already what klefki is, it's not just a random keychain, it's a fairy that steals keys

[@BenHazel007]

Ya, it's a kleptomaniac fairy that steals keys. It's a great concept and I always let people know about that when they bring up that Klefki is "just keys", but it's just not communicated visually very well that it steals the keys, so it's still not a successful design I guess

[@ellespoonies]

well yeah, jacob was just saying that he didn’t like that the design was straight up a keyring bc with the lore it could’ve been a cooler design. did he know the lore was exactly the same? questionable, but his issue was still with the design not with the rest of it

[@ameliafeyparsons4816]

Jacob Apologizes for the Klefki Incident Video when?

[@vlinderfin]

@BenHazel007 Yeah, I will concede that it does kind of get lost in translation, especially when there's other pokemon that have objects that are just part of their body like ... from the moment of birth, and Jacob making it look more malicious does characterize it better as a thief, but it also kind of eradicates the original personality of it being just a guy who steals things to blend in rather than be a jerk, like I get that making it look malicious makes it look more like a thief, but like ... it's not MEANT to be malicious though, the concept is that it's like those animals that use things in their surroundings as their camouflage, like those crabs that put sponges and kelp on their back to hide, but because it lives in a more urban setting it uses objects to hide, and since it's also like a little house fae creature it uses keys, so it's not meant to be like a little scamp, it just happens to inconvenience people by accident which is why it looks so innocent, but I understand that that does make it harder to read at first glance

[@vlinderfin]

Yeah I did find that funny, my first thought was about how Jolteon gets freaking pin missle which is a bug type move, it's a lightning dog-cat-fox thing with a bug type move, I know it's because it has pins but following that logic why is pin missed even a bug type move at all, bugs aren't the only animals with pins you know, but on the other hand Magikarp and Gyradose are literally based on a Japanese myth about fish jumping over waterfalls to turn into dragons so while the moveset doesn't make it a dragon type, the lore definitely should

'Uh ... okay so it's like ... it's kinda like hair ... but it's not hair, it's like it's like a leaf, but it's hair.' 'A what?'

[@UltravioletNomad]

The problem with Jacobs concept for Klefki, aside from the fact that he didnt seem to understand it already does steal keys, is that if you make any fairy type to nefarious, it just becomes dark type. The intention isnt that hes a little stinker taking your shit, its a mystical creature that wisk away your keys, which is why it holds onto a small collection of keys its attatched to as opposed to hording them.

Fun fact, the Portuguese Man O' War isn't a jellyfish, but a type of creature called a siphonophopre! Siphonophores are basically colonies of micro-organisms making up one singular creature, each micro-organism having their own specific function! The weird fin on the Man O' War's back actually functions like a sail, catching the wind while it floats on the ocean surface, and the transparent part connected to the sail helps it float Below the water, it uses it's tentacles to attract, trap, and consume prey. The tentacles are about 30ft on average but can reach up to 100ft long! And yes, their sting is one of the most painful, but it's rarely deadly, and a decent amount of people stung by them are stung after they wash up on shore. I'm a big marine bio fan, so I just wanted to take the opportunity to talk about them since I really like siphonophores :3 Fun fact, if siphonophores were singular organisms instead of several micro-organisms, they'd easily be the longest creatures ever discovered

Actually Klefki's original name is already referencing that it's a kleptomaniac, it canonically already steals keys all the time Jacob you look really foolish rn

[@vlinderfin]

That's what I was thinking too! He said maybe it steals keys, and I was like ... doesn't it already do that ??? Isn't that like the entire original concept, that it steals keys to use to hide among household objects like weird camouflage, like those crabs that put stuff on their backs to blend in, but it's just freaking keys, I guess you wouldn't know that unless you listened to it's dex entries since there's nothing in the design alone that suggests it is a theif, it doesn't look malicious or anything, cause it's not supposed to be, but I will concede that out of context it does just kinda look like the keys are just a part of it's body especially since there are pokemon that are like that, but they're not, they're stolen keys, like you said, lmao

[@syntext]

For real, the Vanillite line is right there as far as uninspired designs with no explanation goes. A ghost pokemon that camouflaged itself to look like keys makes more sense than an ice pokemon that has existed since the ice age but inexplicably looks like ice cream in a cone.

[@vlinderfin]

[@syntext]

​@vlinderfin It would be funnier if it didn't mean they would also have to be the inspiration for the word "vanilla", which was a flavor long before it was used in ice cream, but regardless I'm bored of most of the "it's a household item with eyes" Pokémon at this point.

The return of the Julia Pokemon intro 😂

[@Sootielove]

Nathan's Seaking is so fucking good! Absolutely nailed it

[@s2kap01]

My thought was always that Seaking had its name derived from the fact that it’s a goldfish and that the romanization of the word for goldfish in Japanese is “kingyo”

[@bearoace3278]

I think Seaking in Japanese is KoiKing, so a missed opportunity- nvm is azumao but still

[@markrounseville6998]

​@@bearoace3278That's Magikarp's Japanese name

[@markrounseville6998]

When they were talking about big, scary rabbits, all I could think of was kangaroos. They're not at all rabbits, but their appearance and main deal is rabbit adjacent. They're hoppy bois with long ears. And they're big and scary.

Hello, I come bearing fun animal facts! The Portuguese man o’ war or blue bottle is a close relative of jellyfish but not actually a jellyfish (it’s a colonial organism like coral) and it has a sting that is very painful but not typically deadly to humans. As far as “worst jellyfish to run into,” you want the box jellyfish, which has a sting that you need speedy medical care to survive. Both are found by Australian beaches because of course they are.

[@WalkingNeonCarpet]

glaucus atlanticus is a beautiful sea slug that eats man o war and absorbs the toxins to use themselves for defense. their sting therefore is very similar to that of a man o war’s!

Can someone spell out Julia’s Pokémon cry? She really nailed that 8bit -screech- cry.

No. Only God can and he's got more important things to do

As a rabbit owner, listening to that whole segment about rabbits was too real. They really are little jerks. But we love them anyway.

[@CorgTea]

This is exactly how I decribe being owned by a parrot! The quintessential parrot experience is telling someone your bird is a bossy, spiteful little shit sustained by malice (affectionate), followed immediately by "I love them so much 🥹".

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

​@@CorgTeaGonna make a judgement. Rabbits are less of a jerk than cats which are less of a jerk than parrots

[@edimples99]

I like how they made the concept of kelefkey of him stealing keys in their design is already the actual concept of the original Pokémon

[@AgaricRook]

Watching this episode I couldn't help but imagine the Spider-Man pointing meme, only instead of various Spider-mans pointing at each other it was Jacob, Julia, and Karina showing each other the same picture of Wishiwashi on their phones.

[@OhNoBohNo]

Julia's own impression of herself was SO good, I have to imagine she watched it back to practice xD

[@KanadasKid]

klefki is actually a really strong support pokemon in every generation its allowed in, to the point where i put it on uber teams for its screen + thunderwave support, so i've kinda fallen in love with the lil guy

[@mikaeus468]

I love Flababe's hit routine, titled "I'm a french flaming baby who can dance like a man."

[@cubisttubist]

37:05 can we just appreciate Julia's real good and nice circle right here

[@Emmad172]

As someone who was never really exposed to pokemon as a kid, I love seeing all the different pokemon designs they reference included in the episode. Thanks for editing those in 💜

[@Jay-ru6kn]

Jacob is both a language lover and a music liver so I'm surprised he didn't know that clef just means key again.

[@Jay-ru6kn]

oh no I called Jacob drawfee a music liver right on the Internet, damn, fuck

Karina fixed Lopunny and Diggersby simultaneously by combining them

i'm not actually a fan of karina's redesign.

Diggersby tho

Swampert was the first Pokemon I ever got to level 100, I love it so dearly, I can't take nor understand the slander 😤

[@jadeblooded]

the fact jacob knows so little about klefki that he thinks the name references clefs and not kleptomania (the pokemon is a keyring that steals keys from people) is so funny and inspiring. i wish i didnt have to learn everything i could about pokemon all the time

Holy shit. That Seaking render was epic. I just started automatically bowing before I knew what was happening!!

[@donovan802]

I feel like I’m one of the few people that actually likes Klefki. It’s become like the poster child for “this Pokemon is bad cause it’s an object.” I find it cute, and not all object mons are bad - easiest examples are Chandelure and Aegislash.

[@maxwortel8986]

Object poké can get In the bin Imo

[@uberculex]

@@maxwortel8986 Nah, Chandelure is a champ.

[@Peachysodabum]

I love Klefki too. Honestly I think he’s perfect the way he is. I wanna spin him around on my finger.

[@Vrikrar]

Object pokemon are always very high on my favs list every gen, i just love em. When I played scarlet my team was a salt cube, an olive wreath, a car engine, a swiss army knife bug, and... well and veluza, which is a fish and not an object but it's pretty close to being a can opener.

[@user6122]

yeah i always thought they were pretty cute

[@sam_bamalam]

Jacob really looked at his Pokémon, pointed at the existing lore he previously ignored, and said, "I did this." Like, he got the meaning of his Pokémon's name exactly as Game Freak intended and thought it was an original idea! I cannot wait for him to realize this, because it's exactly the same stuff he calls out other people for 😂

[@vlinderfin]

Yeah, it was pretty funny, though I will concede that there's nothing in Klefkey's actual design that indicates it is a thief, especially when compared to other pokemon who have objects that are just part of their body or that they just seem to be born with more or less, so by comparison Klefkey does just look like it could he just keys, Jacob's does do a better job of communicating it as a thief by having it be more mischievous looking and having it be more humanoid, but that also kind of erases the original concept of it being a camouflage animal adapted to an urban setting, the whole point of it is that it steals keys, not because it's a jerk or even really much of a scamp, but because it uses them to blend in with it's surroundings, that's also why it's body literally looks like a key and keyring, it hides, it's like those crabs that put sponges and stuff on their back to blend in but it's also a little house fae, but having it be explicitly innocent like that does make it harder to convey it's concept visually ...

[@uberculex]

@@vlinderfin It camouflages as a key ring. I mean, technically there's nothing in Jacob's design that points to stealing the keys it has. More like a Kingdom Hearts lawsuit.

[@arininquotes8396]

The new Seaking could honestly be a third stage evolution, so I propose the name Poseadon. He's pretty tough too, so maybe a water/fighting type? Or water/dark?

[@Wargarbler2]

Wasn’t expecting to feel simple and clean after listening to this episode, but that’s just how it’s making me feel tonight, and it’s hard to let it go.
