Pokemon's LOST Official Pokedex #3 Ft. Nob Ogasawara & Nekkra 

P

Ok

Awesome Video

Please do a Mew Origins video, I’m certain I and many others would enjoy watching it

With that fun Pokedex trivia done. We can have a non Nintendo game episodes... We getting non Nintendo game trivia, right?...

Timestamp plz

@@NonisLuck 9:48 is where the Mr Mime section begins

Kinda weird they didn't make it so whenever you see a female Mr mime it'd be called mrs mime. Or atleast make Mr mime only males

@@cammy649 They couldn't decide the latter, because Japan decides the actual game mechanics.

Never forget NOA wanted to turn all pokemon into crass oversexed monsters

Unless it's Gengar...

@@brandonthomas6038 very good point

And heart quite gold isn't it.

Amen

@@brandonthomas6038 I heard the first sentence of the video in BOLD text.

real shit tho, game freak not wanting to splurge that extra bit for more pages was pathetic lol glad based nob begged for them to get more from miyamoto. funny how nintendo has thus far saved gamefreaks ass twice, miyamoto with gen 1 and iwata with gen 2 lmao

When I was younger, I classified the Jigglypuff/Clefairy/Chansey/Marill lines, as well as a few others like MissingNo. and Togepi, as a made-up "Mysterious" type and I'm surprised that most of them not only fit into this Enigma category but also the later Fairy type.

Chansey is about Luck, to be fair/balanced/even it's Normal.

"normal" is also for unclassified and Pokémon that can change types

I mean, this isn't an actual Aerodactyl, it's a creature reborn from Aerodactyl DNA that doesn't know how to act like one.

@@Igorcastrochucre But you'd think a carnivorous creature would know to eat food on an instinctive level.

Pokemon will eat berries both for medicinal value and snacking. Also, in real life, some carnivorous animals will eat fruit just like how we humans eat candy or cookies.

@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 Then those animals aren't truly carnivorous but instead omnivorous.

they're not brave enough to show it feasting on a Tauros

Yea I think balbapedia mentioned it was created by Silph co....

Actually, Bulbapedia mentions it being created by the Pokémon Lab on Cinnabar Island. A report at Silph Co. mentions this.

@@epitaphboi4816 That item was actually introduced in Gold and Silver. But you're right in that it was made by Silph.

If right. Either it's a Silph employee (current or former) or the building was once theirs. But either way. It's still them.

@@wikiuser92 Wait...so did they create Mewtwo too?

Yes please!

What could it be? The first Pokémon to have appeared 2 million year ago from which all modern animals and Pokémon originated from?

There is a pokedex entry that states you can see through koffing's skin when it is full of gas.

@@nicodalusong149 oh that’s neat :0 I never knew that

Same, I always imagined it it to be rock with poison gas inside.

Yo same, that makes it so much more gross imo...

I have many ideas in my lil' head, but the 'Sponsorship' (for example via Battle-Cafe or Fight-Restaurant) and the Make-a-Wish-Foundation as the Employer of the Protagonist are my personal Favorites that i made thought-up myself. What do you think?

@@angolin9352 studying which pokemon learned which TMs in gen 1 gives some odd insights into the thought process of the game design. Like: the Raticate 'dex talks about it having a connection to water... and it gets water moves via TM. It's never been a water type or gained water moves by level up though. It's like the designers have this notion of pokemon with a partial type... IE it's not as simple as having an officially listed type. What a pokemon learns might not be the same as it's physical type. ..... yes Raticate was one of my favorites in Gen 1. I once annoyed the crap out of someone by demonstrating what they can do in PvP. :p Super Fang was a pretty... interesting skill. Guaranteed 50% damage if it hits? yikes! The catch being Super Fang can't KO anything ever. It amused me that the guy I fought with Raticate didn't actually realize Superfang and Hyperfang were different moves when I hit him with both of them.

@@slevinchannel7589 it's a kids game. Of course you're done with the small village stuff.

@@ANONM60D "Its a kids game" doesnt not at all explain bad Quality and such.

Well in the anime Jynx has feet. So this implies that they get offended if you look under their dress, just like human women.

Considering Jynx is based off of minstrel shows, it's not surprising 😬

@@O.V. No they're not. They have nothing to do with minstrel shows.

@@O.V. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe you should do a bit of research before projecting your own ludicrous views onto others.

@@O.V. Jynx is based on Yama-uba a Japanese Yōkai.

Oh god

Or that Blaine has owned a legendary Pokemon for ages

@@Icalasari LgPe confirms Blaine helped create Mewtwo (in a nod to the manga)

The insane irony that the sweetest man who was willing to face Team Rocket to protect Pokémon actually experimented on them to make a weapon.

>Sword/Shield just give you a phone.

Sun/Moon/Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon gives trainers a smartphone.

Diamond and Pearl gave the player a fucking SMARTWATCH, loaded with helpful apps. The thing I'm most excited to see return in the remake is another set of useful tools and apps to make training that much easier!

they literally have game consoles analogous to our world, too. N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Nintendo Switch haha

@@JesseBakerH very good point lmao

To be fair, cheetahs were once thought to be more closely related to dogs than cats. Hyenas look closely related to dogs, but are in fact closer to felines (though moreso mongooses). It's good to not make absolute claims when you haven't proven the relationship between two creatures.

Also there's the Luvdisc/Alomomola case where both look identical but they're still not related

The book seems to said that line for every pokemon that evolved with a trade evolution

Deep Digimon lore dive soon, in other words hohoho

@@loonyleper 👀

that’s definitely always been the love about pokemon; the idea they could exist in our world

Urban fantasy is always nice

@@zanny3085 Same magic that made Sonic tick. Or the many Kaiju films and shows that inspired Pokemon to start with.

This reminded me of Mother/earthbound lol

It defiantly made Pokémon stand it from other popular RPGs in the 90s, which used a high fantasy setting. The only other rpg I can recall that had a modern setting would be Earthbound, but that wasn’t as mainstream or popular back in the day.

Arcanine has always been my favorite pokemom seeing the "legendary" pokemon in the dex always gave me pride in my poke pup.

@@josephcantu3562 Me too! I always considered him a Foo Dog/Foo Lion, and I'm very happy that the book has confirmed his position. He a good boy. 💜

I'm curious as to why Arcanine was retconned from legendary status. After all it was tied together with Growlithe and are thus not that uncommon in the wild. It's clear that it's nothing like the "one per game" legendary Pokemon we recognize as such now. But given it was one depicted in ancient carvings with the birds it's clear that at some point it was intended to be equivalent to them. But for some reason that changed and it was reduced to just being a cool dog Pokemon.

So does the opposite. Think of how many times we have seen people turn into pokemon. From experiment mishaps to magic spells to pokemon literally forming from the death of humans. Clearly it is no longer fiction for that world but an actual event.

I will never look at Animorphs the same way again...

Gotta chomp on some spirits yo

@@EZOnTheEyes You must be a Gengar.

I think they also do it, via hiding in your shadow too.

Or represents evolving knowledge of prehistoric creatures.

They could very well be parts of an evolutionary line. Aerodactyl hasn't developed the feathers that are a hallmark of modern birds, while Archen has- quite possibly putting both as ancestors with Aerodactyl being earlier and Archen developing later along the way, but both predate birds as we know them.

Aerodactyl is a pterosaur and those are not relatives of birds. I think they just really messed up.

I mean Pokémon Legends Arceus has an Edo era theme.

@@dragoonTT Given what we get from this book, Legends definitely strikes me as 19th Century in terms of timeline. Given we know from "Pokedex" that the first real studies were in the late 1800s and the protagonist will be doing research themselves, that probably means 1870s-1880s or so.

@@Talendale Also some of the fashion and miscellaneous objects don't look particularly medieval

@@Talendale scarlet and violet scientist are also from the late 1800s

I especially love Nob's little tidbits about the localization process, like his opposition to Mr Mime having a gendered name.

@@GuyNamedSean yeah its honestly really good

It's been 2 years. Did you watch it yet?

Can always find a way to read the manga. I think there's a few manga, and Pokemon do die in that from graphic combat.

Bewear.

That part hasn't changed at all.

Palossand literally drowns you in sand while devouring your soul and only leaves rotting bones behind, and Bewears have killed countless humans by breaking them in half. Yep, so sanitized and friendly.

That's not true at all. Several Pokemon have been described as dangerous to humans (as a comment mentioned above, Bewear is a great example), and mentions of predation between Pokemon are still going strong in Pokedex entries to this day. For example, Grapploct and Golisopod having a mutual predator/prey relationship mentioned in Gen 8's pokedex.

I was thinking the same thing, with Aerodactyl taking the place of the generic “Dinosaurs evolved into birds,” while Archen goes specifically for the likes of Archaeopteryx and Microraptor.

You can't really say that you found a toxic gas-like creature from a bullet/gun factory now, that wasn't very cash money for Game Freak.

@@frds_skce More likely some kind of chemical weapons facility (very awkward given Japan's historical involvement in German chemical weapons development).

@@GreyWolfLeaderTW I am now imagining Hitler losing in Pokemon WWII because all their chemical warfare turning into Koffing who then decided to explode and ruin many major strategic spots, allowing the Allies to roll in and basically go, "Lol, noob"

To be fair, it was presented as a “True or False” question in a test. It is likely that the “bath house” option was the incorrect one.

I think English localizers went with Metamorphosis because the word has connotations with insect life cycles.

Maybe the translators chose that word over transformation to hint about the bug transformation. But yeah, i agree.

@@MaverickTsuki yeah....but it's not about the bug but about the family connection and human nature. The bug is just an extra....alldough it doas has some meaning I belive.

@@BeaglzRok1 yeah....but it's not about the bug but about the family connection and human nature. The bug is just an extra....alldough it doas has some meaning I belive.

@@MaverickTsuki in fact if I remember it correctly from school Kafka didn't even want to draw attention to the Bug thing in the first place. That is why the first cover of the book under his advice didn't feature the bug at all but rather only the door I belive. So even Kafka didn't thought of the bug that much. But be as it may I can not put concrete evidence to it, again it's only what I remember from school and I don't want to surch for it at the moment so it could be that I am speaking nonsence here.

I also just thought about it and it makes sense since in Masuda's childhood he liked to catch bugs, so pokemon are like bug collecting.

Oh wow that's even similar to the actual inspiration for Jinx, the yukiona. If your brother told me he had s uncle that works at Nintendo I would have believed him.

@@GiubileiFernando hahaha that's so cool, I'm really proud of my brother now

What’s the name of the book?

To be fair, Mew was added to the game at the last minute, but with no way to obtain it outside events(as far as people would have known at the time). Putting it in the book actually would have ruined the mystery around Pokemon # 151.

@@oscarledezma231 check the bottom of the description it’s written there

To be fair, it adds to how mystical Mew is.

It was originally intended to be in Red & Green. It was added by a developer in the last minute. I am so glad he did that.

Which is confirmed in the Let's Go games.

They’re too safe with their responses because they don’t want to challenge their target audience. It’s easier to make shitty simplistic products that don’t provoke thought or create scary controversy by mentioning real world evolution.

sometimes creators or people involved in a project will play along with the lore of their world, like when asked a direct question they will act like your guess is as good as theirs and talk about the characters or story as if they are real or out of the loop. they probably dont want to answer that completely because for a while now it seems like pkmn isnt too concerned with a consistent lore or continuity so nothing is really set in stone.

Pokemon's lore is dogshit for a reason

It’s better not to write oneself into a corner in an out of universe interview then trap oneself by over explaining. They’re magical creatures that stand somewhere between real animal intellect and human intellect. Best not to drag too many details of the real world into it.

Next DYKG: Bee lying

She also said "shure-shure" when the screen said "shi-shi"

​@@goosebyte That might just be Chinese. It doesn't map well onto English letters, especially due to the problem that Chinese is tonal and sane languages aren't. Japanese also doesn't map very well onto English. It makes sense, but you have to be trained to read Roumaji correctly and there's 3 different main systems in use and about a dozen hybrid systems that some idiot thinks is better than the other available options. I'm guessing that a similar issue with Chinese is why the screen said "shi-shi" while the reader said "sure-sure".

@@angolin9352 The Japanese differences I am more aware of, which is why off the bat the "r" sound in the word felt off somehow lol. TIL Chinese is a tonal language, thank you for the info!

There are many new Pokémon that have a rich lore too.

Who says they're all married (or mated)? They should be Ms. Mime.

I'd love for a book like this to turn up for Gen 4. "Arceus. God literally exists. We have sinned and will be cast into the pit for eternity. Because we hooked him up to a fucking treadmill with electrodes. No, not Electrodes. Electrodes"

Drowzee is a retail worker who is done with shit confirmed
