arguments for krookodile claim: -has a long snout -once walked on all 4s arguments against krookodile claim: -other animals also have long snouts and walk on all 4s, like crocodiles -his name is literally crocodile with k
@@Matheuslinspicollo his french name is crocorible which starts with a c like "cheval" which is "horse" in french. The horse society doesn't have an official language yet but since linoone being an ally of the mudcargo alliance could mean french could take that place which would support krookodile's case as a horse
So that would give Sandile a claim to being a horse. And if Sandile is a horse and Krookodile is a horse, that opens the path to "once a , always a ". Does this mean that mean that all birds are dinosaurs and thus deserve dragon status? I wonder if such a situation could cause turmoil if multiple councils decide on different rules or conditions. Perhaps a new Pokemon war may be on the brink of happening and this is just the beginning
It is (likely) a cold blooded reptile which also hurts their chances. Despite the risk of inviting a Diomedes, I think a decent working definition would be a quadruped that learns high horse power.
why? having horse power does not make one a horse and that is because horse power is a unit of power. having 1 horsepower means you produce power equivalent to that of a single horse; so having high horsepower doesn't make you a horse it just means you generate an enormous amount of power, for example we can use Magcargo. in the Pokédex entry from Pokémon sapphire it is stated that Magcargo has a body temperature of 18000 degrees Fahrenheit this converts to 9982.2222 degrees Celsius. in the same entry it states that water is vaporized on contact and that raindrops turn to steam in an instant, a single raindrop has a weight of 0.034 grams and an instant is an infinitesimally small amount of time, the shortest time measured is 397x10^-21; water at 25 degrees celsius has a specific heat capacity of 4.182 j/gC, the difference in temperature between the water and Magcargo is 9957 degrees celsius. using the equation Wdot=c*m*DeltaT/deltat where c is specific heat, Wdot is work/time, deltaT is Temperature change and m is the mass of the object and deltat is the change in time. putting everything together we find that the amount of watts used in that interaction is 3.57*10^21 which when converted to horse power we get 4.7815*10^18 horse power which by all definitions is high horsepower however that is still only the work done and it tells us nothing about whether he is or is not a horse. be smarter don't fall for the obvious scam Magcargo has employed to sneak his way into the horse council. and don't just trust the council I believe Magcargo is working with horse to topple the horse council in an effort to create chaos in society. Edit: a single horse produces 15 horse power not 1 and and the smallest amount of time should have been 397x10^-21 not 397x10^21 I have left the former unchanged since whether a horse produces 1 hour power or 15 does not changr the fact that horsepower is a unite of energy, i have however corrected the error with the time as that does effect the calculations
@@Blazin_Tundra If you like evasion so much, go try to get all the gold symbols in the Emerald Battle Frontier. Then see how much you still like it afterwards.
It’s so funny, I’ve been playing this browser roguelite called Pokerogue and they gave high horsepower to zigzagoon as an egg move. I have no actual clue if linoone naturally gets that move in mainline games, but I like to think the devs included it as a Jimothy nod of acceptance, welcoming Linoone to the Council.
Fellow enjoyers of the Jimothy Coolothy channel, let it be known that Stakataka is on his way to claim a spot on the horse council. He is just moving extremely slowly due to his base speed.
You ever think about how Gen 9 gave Tinted Lens to Lokix, a physical attacker with Dark STAB and Knock Off, which are already two of the easiest to spam moves and types in the entire franchise, and there's half a dozen other Dark types introduced in that same generation who are even better than it?
I love Lokix, ngl. Route 1 bug with terrible BST, never falls from UU. Hasn't even budged. And UU in Gen 9 is super power crept. I actually really love the overall trend since Gen 6 of some route 1 trashmons having cool designs and being competitively viable like Lokix, Corviknight, and Talonflame. Could even argue that they tried in Gen 5 with Lillipup/Stoutland.
Making Dark Type deal Physical dmg would have made Ghost obsolete, they intentionally made it Special to avoid that. Of course the most obvious solution would be changing Ghost to Special so Dark can freely be Physical but for some reason (presumably compatibility with gen 1?) they couldn't do that
@@LeonSKennedy-b9v ah I remember reading that. personally I have a theory that Poison was sometimes used as the placeholder for a Dark type because it’s like the original “evil”/villain type.
Some of the most fun in early Gen 6 was running Mandibuzz because so many newer players didn't know how Foul Play worked (or that Mandibuzz ran it) and just got obliterated after setting up their SD on Scizor/Pinsir/Metagross/Charizard. Good times, good times.
The Umbreon section was really interesting. You often talk about seemingly bad Pokémon being viable due to metagame factors, but here we have the converse.
Ah Dark type my faveorite! Thank you for enlightening information. Truely great work as always. I am also once again asking for your support in helping Raichu on behalf on F.E.A. Please inform the masses of troubles that have befallen Raichu, thank you.
I would love to see a Series where we go through the History of an Attack Type and how it changed and formed itself throughout the Generations. I‘m specifically talking about the moves of said typing and not the Type itself. The reason is because we would give certain moves a spotlight that are very niche, such as the move „Powder“. Did it ever get used effectively? Would really love to see that sort of Series
Jim, I love every upload you make. No other creator, across all my interests, is as consistently compelling and genuinely hilarious. I finish every one of your videos I start, and that really means something in my book. Anyways, I think you're the greatest, and I hope you know it. Much love brother!
jim, thank you for mentioning crawdaunt, it reminded me of my favourite tournament game ever (freezai vs Eo 2022 wcop) with the most legendary crawdaunt of all time. i've watched that damn game like 6 times and i still can't help getting hyped. also i will very happily talk about my hatred for kingambit, not only is it a braindead design, it basically takes the concept of priority and cranks the power level up so far beyond what was originally intended that it totally breaks the game, with the only counterplay being to use hard counters (that easily get f*cked by tera) or win coin flip style mindgames. raging bolt is similar i loathe that thing, those two are only balanced thanks to the broken checks broken shenanigans going on in the tier. im glad people are liking it now but it's too fundamentally flawed for me to enjoy it at all
I will forever be confused why prior to the physical special split they made Ghost physical and Dark special when most Ghost types were special attackers and Dark types were physical attackers
I'm pretty sure that ghost was physical in gen 1 as it was meant to be an answer to psychic types, pokemon which are typically frail on physical defense (especially since special was a combined stat back in gen 1), and if you look at the concept art for pokemon that didn't make the cut it looks like there were supposed to be more ghost types. Then we move onto generation 2, there's already more physical types than special types so with introducing Steel and Dark type they probably wanted only one to be physical at most and even if you set aside moves like bite and crunch, steel logically makes sense to be 'physically' based while this new 'Evil' type is more special conceptually. From there it was probably just an unwillingness to change what was established until the physical/special split, because why change things for just one or two types when plenty of types have moves that should be physical or special.
I love how most of the high damage dark types moves can do are always caused by a gimmick or dependent on things outside of their control. You can tell they are the tricky type, also love how they don't have immunities and few resistances to their moves.
Hey Jim, just wanted to let you know that your background music selection is top notch as always. If you happen to have a playlist, I'd love to give it a listen.
Drapion propably had either SD or whirlwind to actually beat Reunicles. bc of the speed calculation in Gen 6 Mega Sableye even had Priority on its first turn from its baseform so i didnt need protect as it could priority Will-O or Calm Mind depending on the foe and still get the Magic Bounce up in time for any hazards or status moves.
@ozunac13 Incineroar has been kind of meh in Singles, but Grimmsnarl was always an anchor of Hyper Offense with priority screens or disruptive with Taunt and Thunder Wave.
Not sure if this would provide enough material, let alone be interesting enough, but I always thought it might be interesting for you to make a video about the physical/special split from Gen 4 onwards. While the advantages of the split are more apparent I feel like it also hurt the game in some aspects, especially the concept of mixed attackers and strictly physically/specially bulky pokemon.
Dark fighting is just absurd, with Wicked Blow being incredibly spammable, and access to Poison Jab to hit the fairies. Rapid Strike is a bit more exploitable due to the multi hit nature of Surging Strikes, making it vulnerable to contact punishing abilities/items (i.e. Flame Body, Static, Rocky Helmet, Rough Skin) along with Water Fighting not being as absurd, especially when Pex was popular and stuff like Rillaboom/Dondozo stuffing it or water immunities lkke Ogerpon-W
I love the dark type but the thing keeping it from being one of my favorite types is the lack of widely learned moves with 80 base power or more. Yes crunch and knock off are generally good, but they don't get spread around to just any mons, they need teeth and some kind of limb capable of smacking respectively. Dark pulse is a very accessible special option, but because dark and ghost are so similar offensively any non dark type would rather have shadow ball's special defense drop and neutrality on fighting types. Dark has the potential to be the third best type in the game after fairy and steel, and if a particularly strong dark move is given to a good amount of mons like pursuit, once was, I think that would do it
Krookodile is clearly not a horse. He is clearly a crocodile. In fact he can be a high ranking member on the crocodilian council if he applies himself.
Roaring Moon was indeed in ubers for a while. And no, Hisuian Samurott does NOT have the same stats as the original one, look it up! ^^ .... Awesome and funny end with those praises to Iron Jugulis, ahaha :D
Some cool changes that would give relevance to mid dark types is if spiritomb had an ability called vantablack or smt that made it immune to dark and or fairy type attacks (I'd want this on a mon with average to bad stats) and an ability on like mega absol that let it use knock off and sucker punch as special attacks because the mega got so much spatk and has great special coverage otherwise
Clearly the new rule was pushed through by Spectrier, looking to solidify their place in the council and prevent those who rightfully belong from claiming benefits.
Does Hippowdon count as a horse Pokémon? Not only does it learn High Horsepower, but Hippopotamus is derived from the ancient Greek híppos ('horse') and potamós ('river')
The fact the best doubles pokemon ever created was not mentioned is an outrage. This wont bode well in the cat council, who is taking the matters personally. That can be dangerous since they have contact with the nefarious Iron Mugulis and Old Money
Its weird that dark type is considered strong despite the complete lack of STAB nukes (no attack have more than 90 Base power except Hyperspace fury ). Utility over power I guess.
Tbf knock can be considered a STAB nuke, just not consistently due to the 1.5x multiplier only applying if the oppjent has a knockable item. The iffensive presence if it is also great, with it having a great neutral matchup, lack of immunities, and most dark types having dangerous secondary stabs (see Gren, Weav, Gambit/Bisharp)
Diamond and Pearl TRUELY made the Dark type good (finally). The Physical Sp. split and all of the new awesome moves and reworking of movesets, evolutions and abilities in Gen 4 was truely needed.
I know it was tongue in cheekulis, but I'll point out just in case for those who need it that Latin isn't English's predecessor. Some Germanic language was. But English certainly was influenced a good bit by Latin.
