Bio major here! Relicanth looks a lot like real life remnants of ancient fish called sarcopterygii or coelicanths. Basically fish with fleshy fins that have actual bones in them (like the radius and ulna). The real guys are extinct, but a bunch of their descendants were discovered within the past decade. They are called "living relics", kind of like how modern-day crocodiles are mostly unchanged compared to their ancestors.

That would actually be pretty cool to see. Ice type would be interesting, because there are different types of ice out there. Plus, I've yet to understand why Weavile's line is ice-typed. I know Jynx is ice type because it is based on the Yuki-onna of Japan's folklore. But Weavile's is a mystery to me.

[@MrAuthor3DS]

Sneasel (and by extension Weavile) are actually based on the kamaitachi, a weasel youkai that was used to explain the sharp sensation you feel from a cold wind.

[@fruttidimare9201]

Well, it really depends on the Pokemon. Some Ghost-types, like Phantump, Pumpkaboo, Litwick, and Blacephalon, aren't really very spooky. While others, like Trevenant, Chandelure, Giratina, Spiritomb, and Sableye, are spoopier. It really just depends on _why_ it has the Ghost type. With Normal, that depends on what you consider to be "normal." Eevee, Ratata, Patrat, Tauros, Litleo, and Yungoos seem to be pretty "normal" Pokemon, but then again... you get stuff like Heliolisk where it's not so obvious. For me, Normal is more of an animal-y type. I remember reading some advice on creating Normal-types somewhere, and the author made a comparison to Eevee with its whole "untapped potential" thing and how it can evolve into 7/8 different types. Fire, again, just depends on the Pokemon. Some are directly fiery, like Charizard, Moltres, Slugma, Magcargo, Inceneroar, Rapidash, and Chimchar. Others, like Tepig, Combusken, Oricorio, Volcorona, and Darumaka, it's not so obvious. I think some Pokedex entries actually _give_ the temperature of the fire, but I could be wrong.

Hey Gnoggin! I know this is an old video and I'm not sure if anyone else had made this remark, but I think there's some more to be said about Relicanth. It's not incredibly relevant to it being rock type, but interesting nonetheless. The Pokemon REALLY resembles a type of fish called a coelacanth; the names are also incredibly similar. You even mentioned it looks like a fossilised fish, making Relicanth a living fossil of sorts. Well, the same is for coelacanth! They're an incredibly old type of fish and are commonly referred to as 'living fossils'. As always, great video :)

[@luismiguelcruztoro984]

Not necessarily according to the textbook of economy the reason why diamonds are expensive is because its rare (obviously). so if it ends up being this common it would end up losing its value and start getting treated as a normal rock. If you were being sarcastic or was joking, I retract my points.

[@obradinn7491]

Regirock would be a "conglomerate" rock, Macargo would be a rhyolitic magma pokemon due to its high SiO2 content giving a high viscosity , and Larvatar could be coated in metamorphic rock.

[@MrUsoutlaw]

Fun fact that might explain Areodactyl having rock hard skin but a mosquito still being able to drink its blood. Turtle shells actually have nerves and blood vessels in them and mosquitoes are able to get through the small gaps in their shell and suck their blood. so its possible Aerodactyl has small yet very strong scales like the ganoid scales of Gar fish.

Grass type next

Alolan Golem was actually supposed to be based off of Traditional Shinto Priests but I see how you got the Tazer with the Electric Yellow. If Golem is Half Electric that could be based off of a Kami's Emotional Powers.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

I do not see a Shinto priest at all. It was supposed to be based on a railgun. In fact, searching online, I can't find any other claims of it being based on a priest.

[@an_annoying_cat]

That pic of midnight lycanrock in the thumbnail is cool I like it

[@Me-jx1mo]

An_Annoying_Cat You know it's porn, right?

[@funkyX000]

It's not porn; there's just porn of the character. And said porn is currently censored or implied, there has been no /actual/ porn yet. Just implied.

[@Blockvard]

A reason for Rhyhorn to be Rock-type is that the collagen in rhinos skin has a lattice shape, one that they share with crystal materia. Hence they have rock hard hide (which can be more or less dense in real rhinos).

[@sebsational123]

If I'm not mistaken fossilized amber is still rock-like and is even treated like a crystal or semi-precious stone. So maybe that's why aerodactyl is still rock type and can get pierced by a mosquito? And also aurorus and its evolution have crystal-like bumps on their sides so maybe that explains it a little better?

[@FeatherSword446]

Plant pokemon and their grasstype origins? Like what plants theur based off and most likely are

Thoughts on Nihilego: I thought it was an oversight that blown glass wasn't mentioned, especially considering we have blown glass jellyfish figurines made by talented artisans. Also, glass is actually a liquid! It is very, very, very thick, but liquid nonetheless (over very very long spans of time glass will warp as it is stretched downward by gravity). This - in addition to the strange physics of another universe - is a pretty solid explanation of Nihilego's biology.

[@Luchabul]

No, glass is not a liquid, THAT MYTH IS BULLSHIT

[@dawnhohnstein7082]

dude

[@thealmightyqueqlqag5260]

Glass is an amorphous solid, not a liquid. It's not entirely solid, but not entirely liquid.

[@jefferyoneill1]

The Almighty Queqlqag Kinda like mercury, right?

[@thealmightyqueqlqag5260]

Kind of, but not really, mercury just has really weird elemental properties that make it easy to melt.

[@jamescookiii225]

I think it would be cool if they had ice age Pokémon restored that would all have the ice type like the fossil Pokémon

[@obengrupperfuhrerheinrichv7230]

They do in sword, they have a mammoth, saver tooth cat, titanoboa, a raptor, and a few more. Look up Pokemon sword, Pokemon of the past and present.

[@MouldMadeMind]

​@@obengrupperfuhrerheinrichv7230 that aged badly.

[@Augrills]

I noticed you said manganese can explain yellow coloring. In my experience, the mineral that shows up mostly as a yellowish color is sodium. I test water in a biology lab, and if I get water that’s yellow, it’s going to be high in sodium. We actually test minerals and some metals with spectrometry, and manganese shows up as a very deep and warm orange color when you spray it at a plasma torch. It’s lovely really.

[@The_Petey]

3:49 Bird Keeper Toby has a video that mentions this part in more detail if you all want to check that out too! :3

Erik Ghostwood and the crew t I think he meant to ask where each of there origins of each

[@Bashobozo]

Especially for Halloween.

[@jeffmatrachisia3827]

VirtuAldreich well yeah, they aren't all ghosts, just supernatural. Some are ghosts (like yamask), some are malevolent spirits (like banette), some are fusions of 108 souls (like... well you should know which is), etc.

[@armoredanteater609]

bob bobo I think most ghost pokemon are either possessed things or literal ghosts

This is the perfect series to listen and watch to do homework too not too distracting and not too boring that you switch to anthor video well in my opinion.

In some Pokemon games the pokedex says that "this Pokemon hasn't developed/evolved for millions of years" But IDK. Maybe I'm wrong.

I always thought shuckle might be made of clay.

[@elvenbuttress]

TASERFACE?! *laughs in Rocket raccoon*

[@kyuubikira]

Amaura and Aurorus have those gemstones down the sides of their bodies which you overlooked which could explain why they are rock type beyond just being fossils

[@heatstroke2008]

These videos are absolutely fascinating! I love learning about the science behind fictional beings and things, and Pokemon have always fascinated me as super-powered animals. These videos are a godsend honestly haha

[@Vespiria67]

Rock types are actually my favorite type so this video made me ..... ROCK hard :p

[@seankidwell8208]

Do every ground type next.

[@coleallen8425]

Aerodactyl is a bit tricky. To figure out why rocks come out from its body when Mega Evolving, first we have to find out what it was originally. Since all we know is that it is currently a Rock/Flying type, and it can obviously fly perfectly, Flying is confirmed for sure. But what about Rock? Did it replace anything or was it a pure Flying type? Well, I think it was actually a Dragon/Flying type. This is held true by the fact that Lance, the DRAGON master, uses an Aerodactyl on his team in every game he's seen in. Not to mention it's attitude. In every appearance of Aerodactyl, it has constantly been shown to be quick to get angry and has a foul temper. All of which are traits shared by most Dragon types. Not to mention it's move pool, which is shared by countless Dragons. Now. How was the Aerodactylite first formed? In order for someone to have an Infinity Stone and an Aerodactylite, Aerodactyls would have to be around during the time AZ's device was built. A time when fossil Pokémon would have to have been revived to live. This means that even if it isn't how the original Dragon/Flying Aerodactyls were, that's what DNA the Aerodactylites are encrypted with. Aerodactls before might as well be a different species. Well, they technically are. It's like if you use Soak to turn an Aerodactyl into a Water type and then it Mega Evolves. It's not slapping a new type on, it's bringing out what's there now.

[@dawnhohnstein7082]

Helix The king you wot all that

[@UmbraStarWolf]

Muhammad Irfan Perdana Magikarp and Gyarados are based on a chinese myth of a karp jumping over a waterfall and becoming a dragon so no one really knows

[@ChaosDShadow]

Helix The King Are you telling me Thanos is collecting the Infinity Stones to summon an Aerodactyl!?

[@ArkaSaurusRex218]

no, he's summoning MAGIKARPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!

[@dylanwang9192]

Helix The King I agree with you but again I completely disagree with you because it’s rock type because well fossil Pokémon and fossils are rocks so. And it shouldn’t be rock type because rocks are very heavy and flying creatures need light or hollow bones because heavy things cannot fly I mean have you ever seen an elephant fly? But again the Quetzalcoatlus breaks the laws of physics because it was very heavy and it could ... fly
