You missed a few but that's to be expected with how many weird old Pokémon episodes there are, not to mention all the other things. The "Island of the Giant Pokémon" episode has giant robotic Pokémon, which you could argue don't count, but the giant Dragonite from the bill's lighthouse episode and the time a giant Tentacruel attacked a city definitely should. There's also the time Bill fused himself with a Pokémon in the games and you had to help him unfuse, which brings up a LOT of questions. The legendary beasts of Johto were said to have been different Pokémon before they were revived by Ho-oh, I think in the anime we see a quick shot of their silhouette and it doesn't look like any Pokémon we currently know of. There was also the time Professor Ivy found the equivalent to the Galapagos Islands with a ton of Pokémon with different patters than normal. I believe the Sprout Tower was said to have been made from a 100 foot tall Bellsprout, which is another giant Pokémon if true, but that's an in-universe myth so may not count. I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of for now.

The pokemon version of the Galapagos is the region from New Snap, btw. So far it's the only region in the southern hemisphere. The anime we see the beasts in their original forms is Evolutions, right? Or Generations? One of them.

[@ARDIZsq]

I think similar to that idea, it could be that things like cat, deer, mouse, etc. are all something like the genus of that Pokemon. So you have for example have the genus "cat," and it encompasses species like Meowth, Purrloin, Sprigatito, etc. It would explain how we can have titles like "Scratch Cat" and "Loyal Dog" Pokemon despite not having cats and dogs as we know them, the term simply refers to something slightly different in the Pokemon world.

On a meta level, the reason for real animals in the early days of the series just comes down to the series starting out as taking place on Earth. The earliest Pokémon media mentions real world animals and locations, and has Pokémon being discovered in real world France- not Kalos, France. The Kanto region is the literal Kanto region of Japan. Pokémon were newly discovered creatures somewhere between evolved animals and yokai in Gen 1, hence why Gen 2 keeps saying how the new 100 are newly discovered as well, and why Elm makes such a big deal out of discovering eggs. The drift started in Gen 2 with them naming the region Johto instead of Kansai, and was pretty much completed in gens 3 and 4 with Pokémon having ancient legends about them. If things had stayed the way they were in Gen 1, Legends Arceus would have been a very different game.

[@edgargaebolg9307]

I don't know how much different PLA would be. The game does a good job treating Pokémon as unknown creatures that can be more or less dangerous for humans, instead of keep selling the idea that both Pokémon and humans were buddies since forever.

Which is really weird. I wish they had pushed more on having non-pokemon. The Ultra Beasts feel like they almost were going to be, but backed off from it. It's a shame, it'd be cool if they really weren't to some extent, that while "compatible" in some ways they really weren't in others in gameplay, to make them more alien. And of course, Type: Null is... created, out of unidentified creatures. Sun and Moon feel like they had an idea of questioning "what is a pokemon" but it never actually pushed with it. And honestly, the answer seems to be less of a hard classification and more something blurred. For Zygarde in particular "not being able to use moves" is mentioned as one of the reasons why is it not a Pokemon.

(by this logic, the dragon body of dracozolt and dracovish, and the lizard head of dracozolt and arctozolt would also have true forms, just that we'd need their other halves. i can see the ____zolt pokemon being a small lizard, sorta like salandit, with the draco____ pokemon maybe being a single stage dragon mon sorta like cyclizar or druddigon.)

This is a cool list of facts, I heard about a lot that I hadn’t heard of from random trivia, like the MechaMew2 card or the mentions of random real-life animals in the games. Unfortunately I couldn’t enjoy the video without playing it sped up at 1.5x - your wording at times is needlessly redundant/roundabout the point, and it didn’t help that I’m used to videos where people speak a lot faster. You have a lot of people who like your channel as-is obviously, and I’m not asking for a change specifically for me :P

I can’t believe he called a mussel a “moozel” lmao

[@dannyg.4421]

He called mosquitoes "miss-skwee-toes." Lol

3:00 is that schlatt?

[@Irish_Mann]

That is sadly not Schlangus

[@JohnDonion00]

confusion rubber duckies.. how do they know what that duck looked like not psyduck

[@mxmr5048]

Not sure if it counts cos you can use it for a short time with a specific warlord, but the Black Rayquaza in Pokemon Conquest. I thought it was so cool when I first saw it. Sidenote: I love that catching Pokemon in Pokemon Conquest is based on "linking" with them or forming a bond instead of beating them up and throwing a ball at them. It's just a little timing mini game but I like to imagine doing different activities with the Pokemon to bond with it. Like to bond with an Aron, just feed it some scrap metal and pet him or bonding with a Machop with an arm wrestle or something. I just prefer the bonding with Pokemon route

You mean.. the shiny Rayquaza?

[@mxmr5048]

@@RetroNC I don't know why it just dawned on me that legendaries also have shinies, I feel so dumb 😂 my whole life it never even occurred to me

24:30 I mean, in the context provided no. But getting the life and soul sucked out of me don’t sound too bad XD

Wait a Minute! Meta Groudon is a "Regional Fake"! It looks like Groudon but is not Groudon!

[@Reaper_dynamo]

I feel like it's safe fo say that normal animals are just there but since Pokemon have fantastical powers it would make sense that they would be rathered then their powerless counterpart

[@BeIlG]

another amazing video! love this!!!

[@Skypatroller_BenCD]

What about the final bosses of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2, 3 and 4?

[@cik105]

Also, first movie clones and anime giants, like tentacrule and lighthouse dragonite

[@Sanjidub]

Maybe Falinks could be in here? Idk, i always found it weird how it's made by separate creatures but it just counts as a single pokemon. I know Dugtrio and Magneton are similar examples, but Falinx is just Falinks... there's no pre evolution

[@georgewashington63]

I remember in one of the games there were lions who weren't pokemon
