Every Original Pokémon Game Freak Forgot 

"paras is a weak and forgotten Pokemon" "Arceus Legends: "Oh they are forgettable are they? What if we made the SUPER aggro and annoying as all heck?"

Mikey: says electrode shouldn't get a regional variant. Hisuian Voltorb: Allow me to introduce myself.

Checklist after PLA and SV - Jigglypuff also got Scream Tail (Past Paradox) - Parasect's aggressive appearances in Legends Arkoos (no later gen treatment) - Venomoth has never been in a regional Pokedex outside of Kanto, Johto, and their remakes until Paldea (no later gen treatment) - Dugtrio also got Wugtrio (convergent species) - Primeape got Annihilape (new evolution) - Arcanine got its Hisuian Form (regional form. Note that only Hisuian Growlithe was revealed as of this video) - Tentacruel got Toedscruel (convergent species) - Magneton also got Sandy Shocks (Past Paradox) - Electrode got its Hisuian Form (regional form. Many people commented about Hisuian Voltorb because it was revealed a few months after this video was uploaded) - Scyther also got Kleavor (regional evolution. I consider Kleavor as a regional evolution because the Black Augurite is unobtainable in SV, even though wild Kleavor is catchable in the Indigo Disk) - Tauros got three Paldean Form Breeds (regional forms) - Mega Evolution will return in Legends Z-A. Hope that some of the remaining forgotten Pokemon will get Megas or other later-gen treatment in PLZA

I love how you ended up predicting several things that ended up in Scarlet and Violet.

"You cant have one without the other." Glalie: gets a mega. Froslass: cries in forgotten...

Mikey: "Man how did Meowth end up with so many goodies?" Team rocket: Are we a joke to you?

I love how gamefreak didn't buff paras, they just made it unessicarily aggressive LOL.

This aged pretty well looking back onto this now

"When was the last time you thought about a Dewgong?!" Surprisingly frequently. That Dewgong in Pokémon the First Movie, when the Pokémon are crying for Ash, just breaks the somber mood with it's dumbass GOOOOONGGGG and I laugh about it every so often.

MandJTV: Now we arrive at Electrode. This Pokémon should ABSOLUTELY NOT get ANY new forms! Legends Arkoos: You said something?

"I think a cool idea for a regional variant of prineape would be a calm one, since its know to be so angry it can die" Proceeds to actually die and evolve because of that

12:23 Primape got an evolution 13:13 Fire Grass now exists 14:02 Tentacruel and tentacool got kind-of new pokemon based on them 18:14 Electrode Hissuian form 20:53 Tauros got like 3 forms 24:22 Goodra won that title Edit: Im not complaining neither making this video look bad, i just wanted to comment this kind-of retrospective I KNOW it was made before SV and im sure everybody does so just stop

"When was the last time you thought about a Dewgong?" Literally yesterday when my brother and I were talking about underrated Pokémon from each region. My shout for Kanto was indeed the loveable Dewgong.

How the hell could Gamefreak not give Dragonite a Gigantimax form reference the giant one from the anime And a Crystal Onix regional variant

I have a disturbing idea for a new Dewgong, either as a new evolution or a variant. How about an Ice/Poison type, based on the idea of a seal surviving an oil spill? Instead of dying, SOMEHOW it thrived, and now lives in oil or industrial waste, instead of water. Plus, there’s meme potential: as the first Pokémon of its type pairing, it will *never* be forgotten again! Just a thought.

Of course primape getting so mad it dies gets a ghost type evolution

Watching this After Legends Arceus...Well, no one's gonna forget Paris or Parasect anymore! Lol!

3:33 Not only has Arbok appeared SO RARELY since Jessie released hers about 900 episodes ago, but Arbok’s different stomach faces in its sprites technically made them the first regional variants, but that hasn’t been revisited or solidified in canon!

12:55 “it’s face looks peaceful in death however” ScarVi: i’m gonna pretend i didn’t see that

well primape got an evolution in annihilape, tentacruel got divergent species in toadscoll and toadscruel, and tauros got 3 regional forms which is are a fighting, fire fighting, and water fighting type.

"Dewgong doesn't deserved anything new because its desing its bland and looks like a real animal" "OMG TAUROS NEEDS SOMETHING"

“Electrode should NOT get any new forms” Hisuian Voltorb: ;)

Dude, gamefreak getting rid of mega evolutions was like a parent getting their kid a puppy, letting them have fun with said puppy for a few years, and then suddenly snapping its neck in front of the child.

I love that they finally gave Primeape some love, especially since Annihilape is based off Primeape’s Sun dex entry saying it can get so angry it can die 😂

Mike: "Dewgong is so bland, what a boring design, it looks like just a regular animal!" Mike 5 minutes later: "I love Tauros!"

Idk why people are so surprised about meowth getting so many “goodies” cause of it being Pokémon’s 2nd mascot cause team rocket, as well as the fact everywhere has tons of cats.

22:52 well scarlet and violet have time travelling so they should get stuff there

15:30 Michael: Artists have made flamingo-based Dodrio designs, which could be Flying/Fairy type Flamigo: *exists* Game Freak and the Pokemon Company. Gotta love em. 😑😑😑

"Come on, man I'm a bad guy in a bad mood. This cannot surprise you" No, no, he's got a point.

Dewgong should get a fairy type evolution due to people seeing manatees and thinking they were mermaids

"Come on man I'm a bad guy in a bad mood this shouldn't surprise you" Omg that's comedy at it's finest

15:30 sure, someone’s probably said it, and I doubt it would ever happen, but a dragon type dodrio based off a hydra would be cool. But I don’t think they’d do something like that with the dragon type

18:32 Mikey: There’s not really anywhere for its design to go. Hisuian Voltorb: Hold my beer.

“When was the last time you thought about a Dewgong?” The last time Goh’s Dewgong appeared in the anime since it’s one of his pokémon with the strongest personalities

Oddly enough. I actually love dewgong as i used on in my playthrough of Heartgold as a kid. Which was and still is my favorite game of all time. So, often... I think about Dewgong often

Gen IX update: Primeape got Annihilape Diglett, Dugtrio, Tentacool, and Tentacruel got convergent evolutions Voltorb, Electrode, Growlithe, and Arcanine got Hisuian forms Tauros got 3 Paldean forms Magneton got Sandy Shocks Jigglypuff line got Scream Tail Scyther got Kleavor

According to the pokedex, the mega stone reawakened some of its genes, and Mega Aerodactyl is what Aerodactyl ACTUALLY looked like.

9:05 Another fun fact with Parasect; a Parasect with dry skin technically has a 5x weakness to fire. On top of its normal 4x weakness, dry skin Pokémon take 25% extra damage if hit by a fire type move, so 4 times 1.25 equals 5

Old Mikey: Primeape needs stuff Me: just wait til Scarlet and Violet

I find it funny how while listening to the arbok segment I was working on fan art for a arbok evolution, it's name was Repiv, but no one probably cares.

"When was the last time you thought about Dewgong?!" Almost weekly. Back as a kid I chose Dewgong to be one of my favorites simply because I saw that no one cared for it. And I just have that attachment to it now.

Fun fact: Basculegion is the 900th Pokémon to be revealed.

Dewgong should have a regional variant based off of a leopard seal. Unlike the original Dewgong’s gentle disposition, this regional variant would be much more aggressive, have a dark grey-black colour scheme, and act as a physical attacker. An ice-dark type would suit this Pokemon very nicely because leopard seals are found in cold waters and tend to ambush their prey without warning. Its primary abilities would be thick fat and intimidate, while its hidden ability would be anger point. Otherwise, this could be a brand new Pokemon concept altogether. 🦭

dewgong could have a regional variant that makes it look like a narwhal with a fairy ice type

"Where did the Mega Aerodactyl come from?" The Pokedex entries have stated that Mega Aerodactyl is actually closer to Aerodactyl's original appearance, and that modern Aerodactyl are a lot more tame than the original Aerodactyl. It says that a strong bond with its trainer awakens dormant genes that bring back the rocks that were on Aerodactyl in ancient times.

Dewgong has a little horn. Imagine an evolution inspired in a real life Narwhal with a really long horn akin to a unicorn’s. Due to the fact that Narwal horns where historically sold as unicorn horns and were thought to have magical properties, you could even argue for a type change to Ice/Fairy. That’s something I’d love to see!

I never understood why Dewgong is so overlooked. I absolutely love it’s design. It is one of my fave water types.

28:39 Xerneas' and Yveltal's energy apparently overloading and transforming evolutionary stones......

18:10 Electrode: This Pokemon should absolutely *NOT* get any new forms! _Looks concerned to Hisuian Voltorb_

Mikey: "When was the last time you thought about a Dewong?" Me who loves Degong: Hola

Ive come from the future to let you guys know that new evolutions have come back. They’re not regional variants either they’re completely new evolutions

"Primeape can get so angry that it dies" *evolves into ghost type*

Would like to see Australia as an inspiration for a new Pokémon region, could give us new regionals for Arbok, Cloyster, Taurus, Seaking, Starmie, and Dewgong there as those real animals are present. Maybe the flamingo Dodrio although they’re now extinct in Australia

18:08 I think Hisuien Voltorb is actually a really cool take on the kantonian form

This needs a retrospective Since this video was posted we got the Fighting Tauros, annihilape, hisuian Voltorb, farigiraf and Toadscruel

Me watching after gen 9’s release. “I think Primeape should get something” (Annihilape)

What's silly about Electrode's design concept? It's a mimic, the RPG monster that takes the appearance of a treasure chest to be a surprise enemy and a trap. Since PokeBalls are the loot sprite, it makes sense that the mimic is a PokeBall. You could give it a gold variation that can trick you into thinking you have found a TM.

To be fair, Mew got its exclusive z-move genesis supernova. It’s also the Pokémon that Goh is so focused on catching in Pokémon journeys. Speaking of journeys. Ash got a Dragonite recently and it’s probably his most powerful Pokémon of the season so far. So I don’t think Dragonite is being forgotten any time soon.

12:26 *it happened Mikey it finally happened..*

Annihilape “im about to rock this mans world”

"When was the last time you thought about a Dewgong?" Dude, pretty much today cause it's my favorite Pokémon

I like how you called yourself out about Electrode in the Legends: Arceus tier video. Gamefreak really threw us all for a loop and you gave them credit for it.

1:18 the way he just says "when was the last time you thought about a dewgong" made me die laughing for like 5 minutes🤣🤣

15:56 Ursaluna and Kingambit coming their way to prove how badly this aged:

For Dewgong, the easy answer is to go with a narwhal style evolution. They're designed fairly similar, and Dewgong and Seal already has the start of a horn, so why not?

I see a ghost type Parasect evolution as this weird turnaround, with the mushroom getting possessed by the ghost of the bug it parasitized .

The Pokemon that aren't a part of this list anymore: -Primeape due to getting an evolution -Tentacruel due to having a Pokémon based on him -Electrode due to getting a regional variant (I think the video was made before Voltorb was revealed to have a regional form) -Tauros due to getting regional variants

I love how Primeape has been quite weak and forgettable for so long, and it got one of the most badass evolutions, great offensive typing, and a *great* signature move. Man, everything about Anihilape is just so good

For Aerodactyl, I always took it that the reviving process wasn’t perfected in Gen 1. Meaning the Pokémon were revived, but they weren’t completely restored to their proper forms and bodies. That’s why Asrodactyl’s mega form is described as “Resembling Aerodactyl’s true form”.

With Dewgong, I'd love to see an ancient form in Legends: Arceus that has the horn more pronounced (like a Narwhal) and perhaps a different color (could be explained as Sinnoh having a white area making Dewgong evolve a whiter coat over time)

13:50 wow grass-fire pepper inspired pokemon

"Gamefreak has clearly moved past mega evolution" Pokemon Z-A: 😐

I don't like drinking coffee, but seems like Trade is a cool sponsor. Also, Grunty Boi has more wholesome moments and character growth recently, so it is definitely a good thing to see.

I love Dewgong for being a simple beauty, which is befitting a Water/Ice type. Crisp and clean. For those reasons I'm not thrilled with the idea of it receiving a regional variant like I would be for many other gen 1 pokemon. A split evolution would be perfect, giving Seel the opportunity to turn into a different Water/??? type without touching Dewgong's legacy at all. The Oddish line shows just how great split evolution can be with Vilepume and Bellossom~

“Regular permanent evolutions don’t happen anymore.” I am so glad this aged poorly

2:55 Welp that’s wrong as of this morning

Ngl something I'd love to see as a regional form for Tentacruel would be a Water/Dark type based off a Vampire Squid, and for whatever the next gen's gimmick is let them become a straight up Kracken

I've actually been thinking about dewgong a lot because of the regional forme I gave them in my homebrew region, a pure flying type. Here, the seel have adapted to become extremely light, no longer being able to submerge in water but lying on top of it, taking an a consistency similar to fog or mist and their bodies to become more fluffy/puffy. The dewgong of the region take this newfound lightness and master it, floating across the sky as clouds. They are obviously based on clouds, but they are also less seals/sealions and more manatees, as images of unbothered manatees floating through the river or zoo exhibit without a care for the world around them made me think of clouds lazily floating by. Other reasons were me wanting more pure flying types and less bird/dragon flying types, as well as a flying type pokemon to truly call Bounce its main move, seel in this case. Metagame-wise, they would have the abilities Clear smoke and Lightningrod (thematically this would allow them to float through lightning storms unbothered) with Drizzle as a hidden ability, having access to wind based moves as well as storm themed ones like thunder and especially hurricane at later levels. One of my gym leaders, an extremely talented trainer who would rather hang out with his pokemon and gaze up at the sky all day, uses it as their signature pokemon, complemented by a team of drifblim, minior and togetic, gaining an altaria in later matches.

A new ditto form, he could be shiny and when he transforms into other pokemon they are in their shiny form as well. I dont know if this is a thing or not but if not, I think it would be cool.

Yeah we need an update on this video. 11:51 *Primape* got Annihilape. 14:02 *Tentacruel and Tentacool* doesn't really has anything, except that they created 2 mushroom types versions based on this pokemon, called Toadscool and Toadscruel. 18:09 *Electrode* has a Hissuian form. 20:53 *Taurus* has 3 Paldean forms that are now Pure Fighting. A Blaze breed that's Fighting/Fire and an Aqua breed that's Fighting/Water. P.S. just a thought for @16:30 *Dewgong* is actually easy. Give Dewgong the Zero to hero ability. They gave this ability to Palafin (Which is very bland, it's just a Dolphin), so give Dewgong the move called: Flip turn, and give Dewgong a Hero form.

Mikey: “if it doesn’t have a third evolution well… it needs one.” Except dugong

Game freak is like parents, they forget about the creatures they made!

14:46 and mega form

15:40 dewgong could have some sort of water fire form like a volcanic form. That would be cool

Miltank should have been changed to fairy or normal/fairy type so when we inevitably revisit Johto, Whitney’s gym could seamlessly transition to fairy type which aligns better with her character

For Tauros and Miltank, a baby form would be nice. A Calf Pokemon that evolves depending on it's gender.

18:35 what they could do for the Electrode line is give it a baby evolution- an apricorn Pokémon that likes to hang out in trees

14:02, dose Toedscruel count as giving it attention?

"Electrode should absolutely NOT get any new forms!" -That aged well ;)

I think one of the reasons Dewgong goes overlooked is the fact that Walrein exists. I mean they are close enough to one another, but Walrein is just better in any perceivable way.

22:45 “it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for Pokémon who’ve been extinct for millions of years to have a regional form” Honestly, it would be cool if it was discovered they didn’t go completely extinct and survived in a single region, and evolved over millions of years into a regional form. So like, basically a “modern day” version of those Pokémon, what they would have become had they not died out.

Mikey: “Regular permanent evolutions don’t happen anymore.” *Dudunsparce and Annihilape:*

I feel like Fearow should have gotten a regional form, considering it’s the counterpart to Raticate, but that means Arbok should have gotten one too because it’s the counterpart to Sandslash

I always thought Voltorb should've gotten a third evolution depending on the type of PokeBall you caught them with, basically a gen 1 rotom complete with different types and maybe even stats

"When was the last time you thought about a Dewgong?" Me literally playing Pokemon Leafgreen and battling with a Dewgong the moment he said this....

*Annihilape enters the chat.*

For Dewgong they could do an evolution or regional form that makes it look like a narwhal. Many gen 1 pokemon have small horns on their head for literally no reason (take Goldeen for example) so I think it would be nice to have the horn being the major focus of a new design for once

Mikey, you said that Aerodactol’s mega doesn’t make sense, did you forget about it’s Pokédex description? It states that this is most likely what Aerodactol looked like in the ancient past.

Annihilape was the best redemption treatment Primeape could ever receive

Mikey’s dream came true the next year when scarlet/violet came out introducing annihilape
