Pokemon's LOST Official Pokedex #2 Ft. Nob Ogasawara & Nekkra 

If you missed it, don't forget to check out part 1! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-McB4lCnAips.html

The reason why some obvious evolutions remained so vague while dropping hints, it's because they wanted to make you feel like you're making a scientific breakthrough in the Pokémon world. Therefore just one more layer of immersion from this guide.

The writers probably intended the young players who read this and played the game to feel like they've discovered something upon finding out things like magikarp's evolution. Like they're part of the research team.

That gyarados entry is crazy. Imagine going to the beach and seeing an actual sea monster washed up.

I love this so much. Thank you for coordinating this with Nob and demonstrating such reverence to his work for the franchise.

This is the first time I’m hearing about a rivalry between Raticate and Arbok really love these videos and I can’t thank you guys enough for going out of your way to translate this book

"The rivalry between Arbok and Raticate didn't see much action throughout the series" It wasn't super highlighted, but didn't Butch and Cassidy have a Raticate in the anime when Jessie had her Arbok?

The fact that Magikarp was said to have dragon cells in its body this early on and yet Mega Gyarados was still made Dark type instead. Pain

Caterpie: if it even senses a pidgey it borrows underground Also Caterpie: *cant learn dig*

Doduo: discovered 3 years ago. Dodrio: THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO IT WAS GOD

This is one of the coolest series on Pokemon that I have found.

I'm very puzzled the Magnemite wasn't categorized with the "urban environment" Pokemon! In the anime, the first place they encountered Magnemite was a polluted city.

Sincerely, thank you for this.

In addition to Tentacruel being called the gangster of the sea in the anime. Bulbasaur's entry (from the previous video) mentioned that researchers are unsure whether to classify it as a plant or animal Pokémon, which was also used in the anime. It's possible that the writers of the anime used this book for Pokémon info rather than the games.

Did anyone ACTUALLY get surprised at pidgeot catching a magikarp in new pokemon snap? It happens many times in previous games. Mostly magikarp jump (T.T)

17:30 that statement makes me want to have a Mega Poliwrath that looks more frog-like

These Pokédex videos help shed a lot of light on what makes Pokémon so good in comparison to other Monster Collecting franchises. The amount of thought and planning that went into making this world seem real is incredible.

The suspense of this multi-part series kills me. It's such an interesting book!

18:28 Most of the beginning of Magicarp's Pokédex Entry was actually used in the games - down to the wording.

Simply wonderful. The entire Did You Know Gaming team does such amazing work. I love how they give such respect to the creators themselves, but also bring in the other Pokemon RU-vid content creators who also share their same love and respect. I don't think I made it clear last time, but Nekkra has done such a wonderful job presenting this. Thank you to everyone involved. You're still finding ways to make my childhood, even though that was decades ago.

Nob is amazing. From the extremely interesting family history to the awesome work on translation, he’s one cool guy

The American Ostrich, called by Guarani natives "Ñandú Guazú"(literally: "Giant Spider" because they said they looked like giant spider when the Ñandu were resting on the floor with most of their legs and necks hidden inside their feathers). The Guarani natives had many sacred animals, with the Spider being very important and their " inkling" the Ñandu being very important too, not as much as a proper god but they did have a myth of being a future saviour that would unite all tribes sent by the great spirit of the "Grandfather" Ñandu (it's pronounced "Nyan-do" btw). There's also a myth of the Ñandú being related to the Southern cross constellation. So there's the real life link of Dugtrio to Southern American natives.

Two down, one to go. And the last part's the best part :)

WAIT Tentacruel was called the “Gangster of The Sea” in Pokémon Channel. Idk how I remember that from age 7.

Wait a minute, so there *is* a Pokémon that's basically Bird Jesus, and it's not Pidgeotto but instead Dodrio? 👀

21:12 It's worth noting that in Japan, Mirror Move is called Parroting Back (Oumu Gaeshi). By removing the allusion to parrots, it makes it a lot more confusing why only bird Pokemon tend to learn the move.

I still have the headcanon that Lt.surge is from Unova

14:50 -- "Cloyster's shell is extremely durable. Even a direct hit from a Napalm Bomb can't destroy it." Well, duh. Napalm bombs are incendiary weapons, not armor-piercing or high-explosive. They're literally just liquid containers of napalm (a mixture of a gelling-agent and gasoline) and an ignition source. Napalm bombs are principally used in the anti-personnel and defoliation roles, not anti-armor.

12:47 The Note should be -40°C = -40°F instead of 40=-40

5:55 - is this Pikachu smiling? Does it enjoy being strapped down to a table? Oh dear.

Pidgeot is said to be fast in game, yet he's slower than freaking Tentacruel, and even worse later on it's still slower than freaking MILTANK

I’d love to see something like this for Pokémon 25, an in depth look at the history and biology of pokemon

Oh wow, I didn't expect this to be a trilogy. Not that I'm complaining, I'm loving these!

That Gyrados corpse entry sounds like a reference to all the snake-like "monster" corpses that people kept finding on beaches.

LOVE learning about this. Nekkra has such great voiceover skills. Great collaboration.

Finally part 2... Now I need part 3, give more.... MOAAAAAR!!!!

This project has been absolutely one of the greatest things I've ever seen on RU-vid.

What I appreciate about early Pokémon is the lengths they went to show these things as animals with a biological niche. I feel like they dropped that aspect over time.

Man, I love the inclusion of details such as individual Pokemon's place on the food chain and adaptations to certain weather. It really makes the Pokemon world feel like a living ecosystem.

To hell with Cloyster... I wanna know who survived a napalm bomb and lived to tell about the Cloyster surviving it, and why didn't he catch that pocket monster!

As a Pokémon fan since launch, this series is absolutely fascinating!

This has been an amazing ride so far, hope part 3 comes as fast as possible.

This is such a good video, with so much effort put into every aspect. Commenting for the algorithm to boost the video more 😌

This such a fun series.

This is the best ever! I feel like I’m watching a real documentary about real animals!

20:56 I thought this fact was revealed through a song gamefreak published some time ago as well as that Magikarp splash phone game....

are we not going to elaborate on the fact that mach 2 causes so much atmospheric friction it melts steel? and that transonic speeds causes objects to buffet so violently that straight wing aircraft literally shake themselves to pieces? is the pokemon world just constantly violently exploding from the constant non-stop low altitude mach travel of birds? most missiles travel around mach 2. these birds are going so fast, if one were to accidently graze you, you'd be reduced to a pink pile of mush. how many people have been turned into a paste by the average flight of a common bird in the pokemon universe. how many houses have been demolished from a bird trying to grab a caterpie on the roof. do ground based airborne radar just sound "missile launch" alarms 24/7 because of big pigeons

Love this series. Congratulations on landing Mr. Nob to give the full translation.

Honestly, I like that. Hinting that some Pokémon have no connection. That’s a neat little thing. It makes discovering that connection so much more meaningful.

Tajiri actually said "nyoroimo wo kawaigatte ne!" Which doesn't mean he wants to snuggle polywag, he wants US to be nice to and like polywag.

I'm learning so much from these videos! : D It's so fun learning new things despite being a fan since the series' beginning. It's amazing how much history the series has. ^w^

Lost a golden opportunity to say: "Humans eating Farfetch'd may sound.. well farfetched, but...."

The video was interesting! On the unavailable Farfetch'd in the wild point, they were able to be caught in select locations as early as yellow version if I recall correctly

A week to ten days for butterfree. I see what you did there

Best series y’all have ever done holy shit

"Humans eating Farfetch'd may sound..." Me: 👀 "- Barbaric" Heh. This whole thing has been so enjoyable, thank you.

These videos are unbelievable! Thank you so much for all the hard work you've done on this ♥️

So Lance and Blue just both casually have a living legend in their parties. A nigh on mythical sea monster that almost nobody has seen with their own eyes

This is by far the best series of videos you have put out nob is an amazing person from what I've heard of him and him doing this is awesome

So Metapod evolves after 7-10 days like it does in the game

Always good! So happy as always to see these translated in english finally

Thank you so much!!! I have been waiting for someone to translate this book since I heard about it back in 2010 😭😭🙏🙏

This make me love lapras even more;its my favorite pokemon

One year later, and there's a small detail I'd like to mention: the anime actually indirectly references Butterfree's entry from this book. This book claims that Metapod takes one week, give or take a few extra days, before it completes its metamorphosis into Butterfree. In the anime, the PokéDex states that Ash's Butterfree reached its final form faster than any other specimen on record, and Ash and Misty complain that they were lost in Viridian Forest for a week. So Ash's Butterfree fully evolved in a mere fraction of the time! Let THAT sink in. Also, sidebar, this PokéDex really puts your adventure into perspective. Sticking with Butterfree taking a little over a week to evolve, if we think of our adventures as the average representation of a Pokémon journey, either we're catching special Caterpie that evolve super quickly, we're on the same level of talent as Ash for quickly raising Caterpie to Butterfree, or our character is really wandering Viridian Forest for roughly a week as we try to raise that Caterpie into Butterfree before battling Brock.

hyped for part 3. keep up the good work. this lore is gold

20:36 Wow, the fact that they included this is the New Pokémon Snap after all this time is impressive.

Not only is this lore very cool, but I was able to find my copy of this book shortly after the first video was posted. So I decided to follow along with this video and the book, it was very fun!

I love this Gen 1 series! I wish it would never end :)

These videos are fantastic. Thank you for all the effort that goes into these!

Yall never disappoint with the Pokemon "Did ya knows." Love these vids.

not even that much of a pokemon fan and I still found it super interesting

21:55 God, I love Magnemite. That's a whole mood, right there. 😭

maaaan I can't wait for part 3!!!!!!

I still love Pokemon, but I forgot how much the documenting Pokemon as if they were wild animals helped with this. Listening to these brings back memories of the Wildlife Fact Files I used to collect as a kid.

So cool. Thanks for doing this!

Twin Needle vs 1,000 Punches a Second sound like unstoppable force vs immovable object. Some of the descriptions are hilarious to overthink about.

Where's Gengar!? False advertising!!! This video is so interesting, can't wait for part 3.

Considering how many characteristics Venomoth shares with Metapod and Caterpie, the fact that Venonat and Butterfree look identical, and the fact that this book and it's lore completely seperate Venomoth and Venonat, I'm pretty convinced that Butterfree and Venomoth swapped evolutionary lines early in development.

"One of the biggest things to decide is what Pokemon Eats." Yeah... just feed them a bunch of Pokepuffs or Pokebeans and they'll be good to go.

This is so fascinating, especially to my childhood's self-- thank you for taking the time and effort to reveal this hidden lore to the world.

Imagine traveling with your cute eevee then just seeing a whole ass dead gyaradoes wash up onto shore

Saw Pikachu strapped to the voltage device and thought- "Ahh, it's just a band around its belly, it can wriggle out at any time, no worries." Then looked at its hands and ears...

Another great video! Thanks for uploading! There was a lot of interesting info in here, even if not much of it is stuff I have stuff to say about it, lol.

Looking forward to episodes 3!

Imagining Pokemon coexisting with real-world animals is a really fascinating idea.

The tone in which the story about the murder in Nepal was read sounds disconcertingly cheerful.

That description suddenly made Dodrio incredibly badass

3:55 fun fact: touchukaso is the Japanese word for the cordyceps fungus iirc, the same fungus that inspired the last of us. Makes a lot of sense, considering it says that the mushroom controls the bug in many dex entries.

Can't wait for the next video!

Aww, no mention of Caterpie having knees, Weedle having elbows, or Venonat having a neck. 😭 #GDQ

i love how pokemon used to be like this instead of the now usual family friendly kind

this is a very well reserchead and made video

Super excited for this 2nd part! Will probably comment more later! Thanks so much for uploading!

You heard it here first folks. Napalm is canon in pokemon, and someone used it on poor cloyster.

That Venomoth/Venonat split is just another piece of evidence that they had nothing to do with each other until late development.

Would have been cool if Arbok's belly design would have changed depending on what Nature it has.

#85. Pikachu: they feed mainly on nuts. Ash’s Pikachu: hold my ketchup bottle

The saddest part about the tochukaso being that in demand that it's killed for... is most of its purported medicinal properties have never even been evidenced to exist.

So, Arbok and Raticate were rivals? You said this wasn't brought up again, but the anime propably did a reference to that by giving these Pokémon to Jessie and Cassidy respectively, with how many references to this book there are in the anime, you can't tell me this wasn't on purpose.

12:14 Gangsters of the Sea. Have they seen Sharky & George? It's gangster themed, and one badguy is a blue octopus.
