[@ballorafuntime7567]

I'm naming it "Tictowl"

[@GhostieToasterStrudel]

Still find it weird noctowl kinda loses the clock inspiration for some reason and just becomes an owl

[@Castersvarog]

Personally I’d call it Chronowl, make it a Psychic/flying type and make its almost resemble a grandfather clock in its silhouette.

[@SuperEasywalker]

How about a Future Paradox Pokémon like a digital clock for HooHoot and Noctowl being inspired by Bubo from CLASH OF THE TITAN since it is basically a clockwork, mechanical owl.

[@mintytheslime]

Fun Fact that I hope no one else has commented on yet, the reason Noctowl has the hidden ability Tinted Lens is because they have very special eyes. To be more specific, owls’ don’t have eyeballs (at least in the way we know it). Instead their eyes are tubes that act similar to binoculars. Because of this, their eyes are completely immobile. That’s one of the reasons they can move their heads like an irl cryptid.

[@alv1506]

Fun theory, don't remember if I saw it somewhere or if it came to me. Noctowl was originally psychic type many years ago, but evolved the normal type to be able to survive among ghost type pokemon, which they share habitat with. That would explain why they learn that insane amount of psychic type moves naturally

[@thedragonwarrior5861]

That makes sense. It could be what Braviary did as well

[@mattwo7]

I'm sure we'll see a regional variant psycic/flying noctowl in Legends: Ho-Oh after Legends: Original Dragon, Legends: Zygarde, Legends: Necrozma, Legends: Eternatus and Legends: Mew.

I had an idea for an owl fakemon. It started as an owlet that guarded its nest on the ground from predators in the air by shooting owl pellets like bullets, then when it evolved it used the bullet pellets for arial dogfights. It's like a turret turning into a plane

[@mewtubeelias-noskillarts]

Hello, I'm back today to explain German Pokémon names. This time, of course, I will be talking about Hoothoot and Noctowl. And this will be very short, due to Hoothoot having the same name in English and German. Noctowl's name is also pretty similiar in both languages, but still different enough to talk about it. So, it'd name is a combination of "noctu" or nocternal and "Uhu" or "huh"? "Noctu" being the latin word für "at night" or "during night". Meanwhile, "Uhu" is a German word for some specific types for owls like the great horned owls or the eagle owl. "Huh" is the sound olws make, just like "hoot" and is pronounced pretty much the same, except the 't' missing. And that's it for today. Thanks fot reading and see you next time!

[@gabrielclamens3151]

I'll use this opportunity to explain your western neighbour names, the french ones ! Hoothoot is the same in most languages I think, and we kept it the same here too, the more interesting part comes with the evoltion, Noctowl in french is "Noarfang" who comes from "Noar" (corruption of Noir, which means black) and "Fang" from "Harfang" who's a type of owl ! Harfang des neiges is just snowy owl in french And that's all !

[@griffinstorm2233]

The whole thing about Noctowl's inspiration hunting smaller owls and the eating the baby gag reminded me of something, likely not intentional but it felt like something worth contributing. Chronos (at least from what I can gather, I haven't really seen him mentioned in Greek or Roman mythos unless I explicitly looked for it), is apparently the personification of time. HOWEVER, his name also sounds remarkably similar to Kronos, the youngest titan, known for devouring his own offspring in an attempt to maintain his rule. There's also the myth of Athena's birth, where she sprung from Zeus' head after he devoured her mother in fear she'd birth a son that would overthrow him, much like he did with his own father Kronos. Most likely I'm reaching here, but eh, I found it interesting so here you go-

[@claraladuelliste5769]

I thought the exact same thing

[@claraladuelliste5769]

Like especially with the baby eating joke i was waiting for that point to be addressed for the whole video lol

[@monroerobbins7551]

But the fact that there’s openings for complexities, it shows there’s a lot of wiggle room for thought.

[@PonyJammin]

Fun, kinda funny fact, about owls: owls with orange eyes are crepuscular, most active at dawn and dusk! Like the Eurasian Eagle Owl! So Noctowl wouldn't be Nocturnal.

[@illusionsmage]

Owl house? SOUNDS LIKE A FUN THING TO WATCH HOOT HOOT!

7:30 Fun fact - the reason owls can do that is because they compensate for the lack of eyeballs. Yes, seriously. Owls don't have eyeballs.

[@ggrarl]

It's more accurate to say that owls can't move their eyes due to them having a tube shape which gives them binocular vision.

Funny coincidence in the Russian language there is such an expression "pull an owl on a globe", it means to twist the facts to prove something, and it's funny that Hoothoot look like a globe, but this expression appeared at the beginning of the 21st century, so it's just a coincidence.

I've actually been pretty close to an actual loon at around dusk when I was a kid. I had been on a camping trip with my uncle and we went fishing until it was getting a bit late since we were going to make s'mores at a campfire near the lake. I had heard the sound of a loon before but never knew what it was. I was around 8 years-old at the time. I asked my uncle what made that sound and he pointed out a bird not far from us in the water. And that bird was a loon. That moment has always stuck with me as a rare first-hand experience with the beauty of nature.

funny thing, in the french MMO Wakfu from Ankama, Owls are heavily present within the motiff of the God of Time Xelor and the class of same name, where we can summon a clockwork owl, as well as the God's realm have several clockwork, owl-shaped enemies, including the dungeon's boss.

[@Beefaroni_Bert]

the reason Ken changed his mind was because he realized Hoothoot has 2 legs not just 1. it ruined his life, but he found solace in gengar.

[@bastionsea2829]

Birds are also part of the nomenclature of sleep schedules Early BIRD, night OWL and Sparrow are the ones I know

[@supernecoarc6768]

From what I've researched and how I interpret it, Noctowl is inspired by an Aztec creature known as a Tlacatecolotl, a large owl that when it perched near a house and began to hoot, was believed to be a sign of bad luck for those who lived there, but the way to scare that owl away was to insult him until he left. Also, Mesoamerican sorcerers were known to transform into various animals, especially owls, and had magical powers, both as for well and for worse and in turn, Noctowl is based by the Great horned owl, a very common species of owl in Mexico Ok, that was just my opinion :)

[@Austin-DavidReBrook]

Noctowl is my favorite pokemon. I wish it would evolve into a Dark-/Psychic- Type grandaddy owl

[@captvalstrax]

[@qwertykins76]

Noctowl actually does has a little of the clock theme still left in it. It's a grandfather clock, those 2 eyebrows and especially the prong in the center give it away. Good look at picture of old clocks, that EXACT design with the prong in the middle is extremely common. Also Noctowl is an old man/grandfather. The CLOCK motif isn't quite as strong but the TIME motif is. It continues the time theme by being an embodiment of old age.

[@CPUGoddessBlanc]

11:43 Also, Noctowl's shiny being gold could also reference that it is first found in Pokemon *Gold* and Silver versions.

[@whisperingwooper1763]

i remember the episode where Ash got his Noctowl mentioned an interesting fact that was never mentioned again or seen anywhere else. It was that shiny pokemon are smaller than their regular counterparts.

My shiny alphas beg to differ. Jokes aside, it's a shame they didn't keep up with it, but cute that Ash's Noctowl is a short king.

[@lianaverwood9810]

*Fun Fact:* The idea of _Shiny Pokémon being Smaller_ stems from the way *DVs* (a precursor to *IVs* that had stopped being used by Gen 3) worked _with Shiny Calculation:_ a Shiny Pokémon *always had all-0 DVs* - which could be Translated as being _Smaller and Weaker than others of its Species..._

[@pigeonleader]

I like the theming of gen 2 is about time. Gen 2 introduced the day and night cycle and Hoothoot is the poster child for that because owls are nocturnal. Ho-oh represents the sun and day, Lugia represents the moon and night, Celebi can time travel, eggs and baby pokemon were introduced which can represent aging, time based evolutions were introduced which Espeon and Unbreon are all about. Hell even the time travel machine allows Pokémon caught in Gold/Silver/Crystal to be traded over to Red/Blue/Yellow. Really interesting that gen 2 is about time

[@spacemalla]

I really hope we get a regional variant or convergent evo of Hoothoot and Noctowl! There are many different types I think would fit: Psychic because owls is associated with knowledge, Dark because they are hunters, or go full clock mode and make it either Grass or Steel type and it could be based on either old or modern clocks.

Also, I love the side gig for Lockstin being a comedian that starts with an awesome fact but ends in just a cheesy punchlines.

[@Volkaroar]

One thing I've always wondered was why Hoothoot and Noctowl were never made a psychic/flying type considering their origins and influences described in this video. Instead we got Natu and Xatu (and kinda Lugia) in that generation to fill that role of a psychic/flying type. Would be curious to see more of this theme expanded upon in other videos. Also, if you come to think of it, with these owls representing the nighttime in these games it would open up to a counterpart to eventually come into existence for the birds that signal the day (such as a 2-stage rooster pokemon). Would be interesting to see if that ever eventually comes to fruition there.
