Game Theory: The Pokedex is FULL OF LIES! (Pokemon)

Hey gotta support the 1st lie with other lies ,right?

Yep

A concept the majority of the population abide by 😂

Wise.

Really kid?

Who?

Except for the fact that when black holes evaporate, that mass gets converted to energy, the energy of a nuke that is.

You lucky you watched this video

Did you pass?

@@amon6560 yes I did. Unfortunately I did not have to talk about black holes and stuff. (Never said before)

When Game Theory teaches you more physics than a trained teacher can 😄

Hell yes!

Hi

Now read that in his Mickey voice

Jef Milkington We’re only seeing the outline of the black hole

zachattack12 exactly, that orange part is the event horizon or atleast very close. You can tell a black hole is there.

@@ethanpopp517 the outline is the event horizon

What they said

@Rey Ordonez Hah! Your joking right? That is a real photo, what did you think it was, a drawing?

xD - I, uh, I mean.. BUT PROTO The Pokemon universe abides by different rules than our own universe, as is seen when Ash jumps hundreds of feet into the air and magical Thor-rats defeat ancient ice-robots in legal dogfights. Measuring that world by our logic just doesn't make sense.

ProtoMario Well, hello there !

ProtoMario Well Kukui could just be referring to the trans community when questioning gender? XD

But PROTO, I thought the pokedex was programmed with an A.I. that writes its own articles! Why else would the Prof. send you out to fill the pages? I mean, unless it's the Trainer writing the articles... New Theory?

ProtoMario but Proto do you actually believe this Theory you do realize that since the typing of Gardevoir is mainly Magic it has magic and Magic would be able to make that especially since the types of magic that uses

Jackwn - Clash of Clans & Clash Royale i thought the same thing XD

They say that it's unreliable because anyone can edit it. If they took 2 seconds to do RESEARCH, they would realise that almost everything is sourced and there is a community dedicated to accuracy on the site.

Even worse is that they change them to prove their point. They modify the data to fit their claim.

It's not that it IS full of lies, it's that it COULD be. Wikipedia is not static, so even if it is "peer reviewed", it can have different information when someone revisits the page and the reviewers aren't always reliable. Even if you get legit facts from Wikipedia, by the time a teacher went to there to check the sources it could have had some of those facts removed for any number of reasons (something as simple as people felt it wasn't too important for the article, which is meant to be concise to some point). Additionally, many English articles on Wikipedia are required to be written in "Basic English" which limits them to 850 different words that have been deemed simple enough that even English speakers with minimal education can understand them, and while that makes it more accessible, it means a lot of important information could be left out because it cannot be expressed with Basic English. Really, coming from a librarian, those in research based fields DO use Wikipedia a lot, but not directly. Wikipedia is a great resources for finding other sources if you follow the listed sources, and informal research (answering a question outside of an academic setting), even just using Wikipedia will suffice, it's often correct, it's just not appropriate for school because it sometimes does spread misinformation, which is common enough with the internet.

You cant cite something that changes..

Mew >

Mew > life

Gardevoir could canonically take out legendary Pokémon and maybe even god himself so yeah I mean never having a overprotective companion wouldn’t be that bad right?

I guess 2 pokemon gods have opposite commandments, this one says “thou shall never name thy rival a silly name” while MandJTV says “thou must always name their rival a mean name” how shall thou choose?!

@@fuzzyboi431 good point

I personally name the rivals their canon names. Not sure why, maybe I just can't bring myself to change someone's name to "DumDum" or "BrwnPnts".

I always do Peepa. Don’t know why, but i like the consistency.

Wait, where did the "never" in the sentence come from?

according to school, thats already been done

@@arafe.1012 Too many people edit them to avoid that sort of problem

@@zacktherandomweirdo Wikipedia still has _tons_ of errors. Most encyclopedias do, in fact. Really, if you're going to a wiki for information, you should be using it only to find sources to pull from.

@@RabblesTheBinx Found the professor

Larry Sanger also thinks that rigid bureaucratic pyramid of Wikipedia where "the God chosen 1000" paid by govs and corps controlling content of most of articles, is a place for lies mostly. And so do I.

How? By slowly vaporizing it? There is no way to do that

Um... what about mewtwo’s Psy-crush.

As Gnoggin put it, that's called cherrypicking

@@halamadruuid2380 its fiction there is always a way

It could only be stabilized if it was the mass of the moon. And then it would do everything matpat explained.

How’d it go?

Nah, if it had ability to steal the souls that would be creepy and not fitting the pokemon.

yee exactly

yee what if the cup has diet coke in it?

Well, to be fair he didn't say "in this script". He said "in this analogy". So it was a specific part of the script.

Diet Coke does show up at 8:47 though

U can't defy gravity if u r not affected by it Fly is defying gravity afterall

@@debojyotisarkar1500 no flying is not defying gravity. Nothing can defy gravity not even light.

It can't even have LEVITATE

I honestly think the move it is using would be shadow ball as shadow ball does look a lot like a blackhole.

i am the 69th like on this comment

And now he’s making a video on it. Hypocrite

He know does question pikachu's power level

"Welcome to Game Theory, the show who's primary strategy is FLAIL'

But he made a video claiming Pikachu is weak and worthless...

Thanks been hoping someone caught it

Shawn McMillan you're on every new Pokemon video

Shawn McMillan ... ARE YOU HERE TOO??????

Shawn McMillan either it would burn our earth dry or it would MELT to the earths core.

Shawn McMillan and it has a harden shell

ya thats true... that would cause the earth to like melt or something

...true

counting population and location of the area/territory in which they live?

+Shawn Thomas the thing is, the professors are the ones who put the information in the Dex already, how do I think it got in there? They are the ones who write their descriptions

+Valyrian Steel so it's already completed

I think there was theory about this already, but if not - for me it's quite obvious that in-game pokedex works different than anime pokedex. You have to collect data for game pokedex, while anime one has all the info put by the professor.

Taco Gamer94 XD

Took a while but I saw it 😂😂

Good job finding it

Taco Gamer94 i spent so long looking for the frame, find it and then see this👌

The text can be in front of it, outside the event horizon...

True. Crush enough of the correct atoms and you could create an explosion that could level cities. It makes sense since you were given a *blank* pokedex in (Fire) Red and (Leaf) Green.

Javi Meh sub me sub you

You mean Pokémon mystery dungeon.

Pichacho? LOL

Ok, at sea level air has a density of ~1.2 kg/m3. So, ditto having a mass of 4kg according to bulbapedia, means that it has to expand to a volume of ~3.33m3, which if Ditto was a cube would be of side length of 1.5 meters. Basically the size of a Venusaur seems more than enough, to make ditto float... I've never actually realized how wacky the physics of Pokemon really can be...

So essentially you could tie a basket to a Ditto, have it turn into a Snorelax, and you've got a blimp. I was expecting a larger Pokemon would be needed, but nice to know the actual answer was wackier than I was expecting. Thanks for being awesome! +1

Michael S. If u want a laugh look at Wailord's Dex entry, it already is lighter than air if you do the maths. So get a Ditto to turn into one of them and your balloon could lift a fue tons. 😉

Except... there's a problem. From what we know, Ditto is a failed clone of Mew. No pokemon other than those two can learn Transform, so we can't really get a control group for how it works. For all we know, it's gaining mass from the surrounding particles, or possibly isn't even really transforming at all. It might also be acting in the way ghosts and some psychics do by generating their own gravitational field. If we only count the games, it gets even worse. In that case, Transform only works on pokemon, meaning it might not even be actually transforming. Mew IS a psychic type, and after transforming it *does* instantly know the same moves as its target. It could be entirely illusory.

Wailord, is possibly the least dense Pokemon in the game. I've done some calculations and gauged the length and width (with the height of 14.5 m) to be 33.5 m and 14.5 m respectively. Since it is more of a flat cone shape, the tail end has a height closer to 7.25 m Plugging the numbers to calculate the volume of a cone-like tube, you get around 2793.45 m^3 as the volume. Putting this together with the mass of 398 kg, Wailord itself has a density of 0.143 kg/m^3 which is less dense than Helium. If we plug in those numbers with Ditto's mass (4 kg), we get a density of 0.00143 kg/m^3 57 TIMES LESS DENSE THAN HYDROGEN. We're talking Ant-Man levels of breaking physics. Its atoms would be too far apart to hold itself together. Ditto transforming into Wailord would not only make it lighter than the lightest air, but literally tear it apart on a molecular level.

Rotomic Industries i agree

Remember the distortion world just has weird gravity thanks to giratina

Everything, phisics related, outside of Earth is useless in space, other planets and even other dimentios like the distortion world, which is the perfect example

Same Rotomic Industries!

What about Darkrai? That guy has a bit too much on his mind. Get it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'll leave now...

true that

Except if its as powerful as you say it is then it would effectively kill the trainer and perhaps herself as while she is immune to gravity. Not heat

Billionai this is 100% True but wouldn't that be got enough to vaporize everything else except the spot he/She is trying to protect

Have you seen what Austin does? If you tell him she can create a Super Nova then he will show why that still destroys the entire solar system! Good luck surviving after that; plot-shielded or not, that is one dead Trainer.

Mors Admirari: well... yeah, you're right...

Also there is a claptrap around 5:30

Ok will do!

Nice name pun, kinda lacking.

pokeymans

It also says not to consider Ash's age... He failed that one

Pino S I thought I might've been the only one that caught that for a sec lol

Good on the editors probably, not sure if MatPat is as involved with the editing as he used to be

I knew that was from something but I couldn't remember where....

I caught it too!

Pino S THANK YOU FOR SEEING THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS IMPROBABLE UNIVERSE

Gingrish maybe it sweats nitroglycerin?

Gingrish logic

+pandaluver777 Hahahah you got from Bakugou didnt ya 😂🖒

Gingrish phosphorus on it's fur?

Super friction + whatever is the fuel that supports it's body fire = possible explosions

Also how this paint substance allows it to learn any move in the game

Squids. Also, paint is just a pigment dissolved in water. You have pigments all over you. Pretty much all life does it.

I always imagine that is some kind of oil that it exudes from the tail, like a squid. Or maybe it is just its sweat that in contact with its saliva becomes a different color, that will explain why sometimes you can see it with the tongue out while painting.

yeah, this one wasnt all that on point

Well, he actually said that he is "starting a new series" , so it kind of make sense that he's just talking about one of them in this episode: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zHdJwBrT3WA.htmlm2s

I saw it

I used playback speed lol

Ya know what... infinite water sources are jokes to MatPattttttt

lmao

Technically matter is constantly created and destroyed all the time, but the law of conservation of mass still applies as bot positive and negative mass are generated in incredibly small amounts and then they instantly vanish into nothing

It really makes you think,where did everything come from?

Yes!! IKR?

Agreed

SoraRoxas528 XD

SoraRoxas528 oh ...Wow ok, I just searched it annnd okay then I have seen thing

Your face matches your comment is well😂

what u saw

GadgetMcfly things...I can't describe well

Only because he wasn't talking about Hitmonchan.

...Actually where it has that huge stone podédex by the beginning, #4 is "Thou shalt not draw lewd images of Gardevoir", thereby acknowledging that it exists.

*shiver* .... so... creepy... o.O

I'm talking about Matt himself, not the animation stuff, Tusk.

You should be I haven't seen one since it came out

Chigger Jester +

If it can apply enough force to the bullet using psychic powers to make a black hole, it could also just stop the bullet, much more easily. After all, it would have to be stopped in the process of making the black hole anyways, or when it evaporated it would just turn back into a hunk of metal flying at the speed of a bullet at the trainer. If the metal turns into a gas because of the immense heat created as a byproduct of the force applied to make it into a black hole, then there would be a cloud of superheated metal gas flying at the speed of the bullet at the trainer. So, if it has to stop the bullet's momentum anyway for the evaporated black hole not to kill the trainer, it could just NOT expend all of its psychic powers pointlessly and stop the bullet anyways.

Brian St. John Evaporating was just an analogy, the matter is being converted into radiation.

Who needs bullets with a word of living weapons

Graestra I agree, the matter is being emitted as radiation, but my point is that it still maintains its mass as well as its momentum. The evaporation of the metal is just due to the high energy of the radiation as a result of the energy applied to compress the particles into a small space, which has nothing to do with the evaporation of the black hole. Hawking radiation is the result of virtual particles becoming estranged from their pair, thereby becoming real, and the anti-particle of the pair having negative energy, thereby removing mass from the black hole. As such, the mass of the black hole is being reduced and replaced by the creation of particles outside of the black hole, which maintain the same center of mass, angular momentum, and charge as the black hole itself. So, a bullet compressed into a black hole would quickly become a hot mess of insanely hot gaseous particles with the momentum of the original bullet. Despite what I said before, it would most likely not become metal, as metal is relatively complex, but it would more likely become hydrogen (or helium if it is hot enough to become a plasma and is shoved next to enough other particles).

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I second that notion

I think old matpat would be interested, but these days, i think that would be pushed over to THE SCIENCE! And Austin.

Yes

It was Magcargo and it really isn't that impressive. Yeah, it's double the temperature of the surface of the sun, blowtorches come quite close to solar surface heat and lightning outclasses it being agout twenty times as hot. The Earth Core is also hotter. That pokedex entry means that it would incinerate and boil any living being that comes close to it, but that's it. Not interesting enough for a game theory, in my opinion.

Xavier Illa You are correct, but I was interested in seeing how it would interact in certain environments. Yes, something light lightning but constant would kill living things, but was else would that do. What exactly would happen if it were to rain. How much steam would that produce? But there are other topics that could potentially be better, yes, this is just the first to pop into my head.

Ender Da Kool Guy if the black absorbs light how are you alive?

Thank you for this. You have no idea how long I tried to pause the video at the right moment.

Can you get matpat to please, PLEASE do an episode on darkrai and how it can cause nightmares with just its prescence being nearby to a sleeping organism

brian angelo I was very lucky and got it 1st try

Someone You Don't Know I got it the second try

Gamesel that is a pretty good idea but want about the energy reshiram and zekrom emanate due to their respective abilities

Well that's easy to debunk because people still lose with victini.

Infinite energy..soooo victini can time travel. Okay

warboss5 Aye!

warboss5 but in the game and animie gardevoir's shadow ball is acting like a black hole with out as much gravitational pull but the professors are called the shadow ball a black hole because it is on of gardevoirs popular moves to learn for the trainer

We also have to remember this has a japanese basis, so some information could be lost in translation or just straight up changed for viewing in English

Alternatively, how about just making a black hole that _isn't_ stable? It doesn't need to last forever, just long enough to be used as a projectile or weapon in some form... because let's be honest, even if it's only, say, about a hundredth of the size of the moon, it'd still _really_ freaking hurt to get hit by that thing, especially when the heating effects and Hawking radiation is taken into account.

Bruh that’s smart

(slow clap)

No kidding, same on my end.

You sir, need to look up kurtzgezagt. Specificly their everything black hole related. It's..... Wow. Also search the experience of falling into a black hole.

Samee and now i want a Gardevoir instead Gallade

By pausing the video just right lol

I just use 0.25x speed

Yeah I just can't stop myself from going back ten seconds and replaying it at 0.25x speed

I saw it at regular speed well puased

@@1Gengar I know right

Squid fangirl its humanoid type, same egg group as gardivour which is why he has it in the dex

Squid fangirl nah i'd say psychic

LIE!!!! His jokes aren’t actually cringey. Even the commenters LIE to us!!!

And 5 minutes of filler in each video.

Evolves into FatPat

It took me a moment to get the sarcasm

"the dovakin is a powerful psychic pokemon that can use dragon type attacks; his shouts are unpredictable and can have a variety of effects."

radu nicolae amazing

Becouse trough anatomical appearence it obviously has legs and feels peer pressured trough other leg-having creatures into walking, or it would heavily damage the psychological stance of Guardevoir trough being bullied by the other creatures for not doing so. As simple as that

Bogidani WHAT?

It looks like it can't fly since it has legs and no wings etc. Other creatures that can't fly for the same reason would be mean to it if they ever saw it flying, most likely because they are jealous. So to avoid being bullied it walks. Is what Bogidani is saying.

Eh idk about that, Mew, Golurk, Pikachu and Genesect can fly just to name a few odd ones.

BlessMyHoRizoN this is true

Trace Oglesby underrated comment

thunderstarchampion like how can it evolve into so many things

Squishy Cookie read the Dex entries it has a unstable body makeup so that's why it evolves into many things I can't explain that well so maybe Mat Pat can.

I always wondered why there were so many evolutions for it when I was younger...y'know...before I had Pokémon ruined for me 😓 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ENv8cpgtAks.html

thunderstarchampion I would love to see that

yeah I'd love to see Mat Pat make a video no Eevee and its evolution's

preach it man!

By catching it we're doing society a favour.

Yes! Yes! I appreciate you. I was waiting for this comment (Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy, amiright)

Paladia_ Gorom they poop on their opponent

majority of them have poisonous venomous glands?

What if it's a kind of partial evolution, and the glands of the Pokemon (maybe some sweat glands) are modified to become poisonous, enabling them to use Toxic to a certain extent?

Diglett Master In the anime Brock lifts up a diglett. There was literally nothing else there but dirt. I don’t remember what episode it was though. Well anyways, what you see is what you get.

Diglett Master. Wow, I swear before this comment I have never seen a Quagmire Diglett. That is creepy

Don't u know, you are one!

Colin Chen yeah but what's under the dirt. In Pokémon red rescue team we hear that diglett has feet

Oh boy, googling "Diglett body" was a terrible idea.
