I'm predicting a Phantom of the Opera inspired Water/Ghost Primarina since the original book was written in 1909 and the French have a long history of opera after Italy's creation of it

The other Pokemon that should get Megas is Slowking and Froslass, their counterparts had them, so it wouldn't make sense if the former two didn't.

"Calm down Kalosian Emboar, we're your friends!" "Shut up food, I'll kill you!"

Kalosian Emboar, wrapping its opponent in a big hug, "Welcome to Flavortown."

Kalosian Emboar being part Fairy could also play on how many Fairy type Pokémon are based on sweets and bakery, which France is quite famous for.

Meganium actually makes a ton of sense for Kalos, there was a species of Sauropod discovered in France called Ampelosaurus which translates to "Vine Lizard".

I think Kalosian-Inteleon's ability should instead raise the accuracy of itself and its allies every turn its on the field. It would still be fitting and would also make for a very interesting support Pokemon in doubles formats.

"Stuck with chikorita" She needs a something so bad tho. Also, grass/steel typing is actually really good. Just look at ferothorn.

I wonder if we'll get a Klefki evolution in ZA. The first ever train robbery happened in france, and involved the creation and stealing of ALOT of keys, which Klefki is known for.

17:22 he’s referring to ortolan bunting, cw: bird torture. the ortolan is an adorable songbird that’s very tiny, the ortolan is hidden in a cramped cage filled with an endless supply of food where they’re covered in darkness as to confuse their internal clock making them binge eat (keep in mind songbirds are very social, if they’re ever confined in such a space they will become depressed, this is akin to social confinement torture) after they begin to gain weight the bird is then drowned in burning liquor to slowly drown it until it dies, the ortolan will then be plucked, roasted and served. The diners put the napkin on their heads for three reasons 1 to take in the aroma of the food (not really but suuure) 2 the bird is served without being deboned, the diners will eat the beaks, bones and legs fully intact, most diners spit the beaks out because obviously. Thus they would want to cover their faces so other diners won’t have to see the disgusting display of people spitting bones out And 3 religious people do this to shield god from having to witness them eating in such a disgusting way especially considering how the dish they ate got in their table in the first place. Anyways if you can bring yourself to eat anything after reading this congratulations.

Small correction to the bit about the monkey being killed. That was in England, in the city of hartlepool, and was done because the brits thought the washed ashore monkey WAS french.

Also, the French were the ones to create the code of Chivelry in the 13th century, which we associate with knights today; it's named for their word for knight, "chevalier," and during the reign of Charlemagne they also made some of the more recognizable contributions to the King Arthur mythos. Lancelot was a French author King Arthur OC to extol the virtues of courtly love, which was quite popular among French writers at the time; the freaking Round Table comes from Charlemagne and his knights; yes, really, Charlemagne and his knights would gather around a big round table to convene with reports and discuss war strategies, and when I say his knights, I'm talking about the elite knights Charlemagne promoted to his inner circle.

"Imagine Giga Drain as a physical move, and a little better" So, Horn Leech?

I see you wanted to do something kinda similar to Mabosstif. For those who don’t know, the Paldea dogs reference the Butcher, the Baker, and the Candlestick Maker.

WHEN HE SAID "THIS IS THE FACE OF..." I IMMEDEATY SAID THE CORRECT TYPE, THE COLOR IS REALLY GIVING IT AWAY ( In a good way, that's amazing character/Pokemon design!! )

16:25 "I find everyones pain funny, but my own. I'm french." ^^ - Emboar

That inteleon desgin is honestly one of my favorites from these Za starter videos.

Not gonna lie, a Phantom-Thief inspired Intellion would be badass. It should be made a thing even if it's not for Legends ZA.

Some else probably mentioned it already, but the “commonly” in Kalosian Meganium’s Pokedex entry is misspelled as “commonny”. It’s at 26:57 if anyone is wondering.

I think what's also great about these starters is that, just like the original Kalos trio, are essentially JRPG tropes: Bard/Knight, Spy/Assassin, and Chef. While probably not as iconic as the original 3, they feel in line and in theme

Man I can't wait for baguette surperior

The only starter I want in Legends Z-A is Serperior. It's quite literally perfect for Kalos. Not only is it based on French royalty, but there's already stuff in Kalos which refers to the Snivy line. There's an image of Snivy and Servine in Sycamore's lab, and Serperior is on the gates to Parfum Palace

These three really feel like the "be careful who you bully" trio

They thought Stegosaurus’s plates worked like shingles on a roof... so THAT’S where the name “roofed lizard” came from! I honestly never knew about that until today!😂😂

OH FUN FACT. Where i'm from in the UK. They also hung a monkey cause they thought it was a french spy. It's why people from that area are often referred too as "Monkey Hangers" The more you know :')

17:28 Ah. They made a French children’s song about that, I think. Or at least about cheerfully mutilating a songbird in preparation for cooking it.

You made Meganium look and act even more like a friend! I love it! :D

This might be the first time I’ve wanted to pick chickorita. I LOVE the new meganium, great work on these starters, and I can’t wait to see what they actually come up with for the games

Incineroar could become Andre the giant, an iconic french wrestler, in this case as a hero vs their villain origins, it would have to be much bigger with flaming mutton chops

This is why you're one of my favourite youtubers. You're always so in-depth with explaining the origins behind pokemon/your fakemon and present it in a way that's never boring or uninteresting and in a way that also makes me more interested about the inspirations behind their designs. Incredible choices for the starters and super cool typings/moves I'd say Inteleon is my favourite but their all amazing either way!

Okay, let me get this straight - I love these forms! 😍 I was always an Inteleon fangirl, but this is almost as cool as the original. And the other two are far better than their originals! Would catch all three of them 🤗

Question: Did Intelion kill people to get their souls or did random Gastly and Yamask donate themselves to the lizard boi?

Honestly this video was very refreshing I feel like every poketuber is making the same video talking about Napoleon, it’s nice to see a more creative approach.

I absolutely love the Kalosian Emboar design. The Tepig line is already my 2nd favorite Fire-type starter family. Also, the Fire/Fairy typing you gave it is *chef's kiss* perfect!

I genuinely like that Meganium idea honestly. It's something i never would have thought of, thats for certain.

I love how its the past variations of lostin gnogons characters

As dark and cruel as it is, I'm in love with Kalosian Emboar. 🥰

fun fact! in the indigo disk trailer, Rowlet was shown alongside Snivy, Oshawott was shown alongside Piplup, and Cyndaquil was shown alongside... Torchic. this does not seem like coincidence to me

"that isn't the face of a Dark-type" Impidimp: amazing. you were wrong again Lockstin!

Scrying Bubbles triggering EACH TURN is a bit of a RNG nightmare. I think working like Intimidate, where you get just the *one for free as you appear*, will be just enough to give you the vibe you want without making it functionally invulnerable on a coin flip. Other possibilities would be perhaps a passive like "When this pokemon is on the field, the opponent's priority moves have their priority decreased by 1." You can't "sneak up" on this pokemon. You can't be a slow pokemon with a sneaky Mach Punch or Aqua Jet. They are always one-step-ahead.

Glad we can all agree that Serperior is gonna be a Z-A starter

This meganium was fantastic. I could not stop praising it. The desing, the lore, the references. JUST PERFECTION!!!!

I think the starts for Pokémon Legends Z-A will be: Timber, Geodude and Fletching. (Timber for construction) (Geodude for demolition) (Fletching for welding and air lifting large weights)

Small correction, when you were talking about infernape, the French didn't hang the monkey, it was the people of hartlepool in the north of England who thought it was a French spy. (That's the story at least) To this day the monkey is a symbol of hartlepool

I do understand the thought that Empoleon and Serperior would be easy because of their inspirations, but that’s also exactly why I would want them. It would just be satisfying to have everything wrapped up so succinctly.

I saw a cool idea that Incineroar becomes a Fire/Poison Chminey Sweeper where it becomes a black cat covered in soot.

Bright powder+Protect+ Scrying Bubbles= unkillable

Loved this Inteleon, really strong concept. Also as a French person it’s both funny and cute to see you struggle with "joie de vivre" !

17:00 I'm not trying to make excuses, but when crabs and lobsters die, the bacteria in them breaks them down quickly and makes ammonia, meaning you'd get food poisoning. You COULD put them out of their misery first, but you'd have to get them in the pot IMMEDIATELY afterwards, cause they start decomposing FAST

WAIT, THAT DROWNED BIRD YOU EAT UNDER A BLESSED NAPKIN IS REAL CUISINE?!?! I honestly thought something as needlessly cruel as that was just made-up for an episode of "American Dad".

You didnt have to go so hard for Intelion, I love it already but this this does put a smile on my face. . . Also considering the soul bubble concept I imagine it would be fitting if it also bubbled the souls of victims so it can pull information out of them, or perhaps to turn into shadowy puppets to further epand its spy web with later. I could Imagine it surprising a Pokemon, bubbling their soul and hiding it up their sleeve then basically sending the newly made spy back into the population. I also wonder if a movement ability (in its lore atleast) based on walking in a giant flying bubble world work out.

I love the emboar so much he’s insane and cruel but also just so wacky I want him to commit crimes against pokemon with a goofy grin

It's great seeing love for Chikorita, a line in desperate need for uniqueness, rivalling Cyndaquil.

Serperior is my hope because not only does it fit perfectly but it would get a new form possibly and I want my favorite Pokemon to get one

There's been a lot of speculation the trio is going to be snivy/torchic/piplup, and if so I like the idea of Serperior as a Bourbon (grass/fairy for the fancy and aggressively etiquette-centric culture of versailles), Blaziken as a revolutionary (fire/steel for the Bastille and the guillotine), and of course Napoleon Empoleon (water/fighting for the guy's military accomplishments, and to round out the double-effective types trio)

I came up with a dual type gym leader a while back, a Fire/Fairy chef (that had a BBQ theming, since it was for a gym in Kansas City in a midwest-based region), and that Emboar variant would be the perfect Ace.

Even though its a wolf-centric legend, a Loup Garou inspired Incineroar would be kinda cool as his Kalos/insert name for past Kalos/ian form. (Note, SMT V gave me the basis for said speculation, and I can’t unsee it anymore)

I love how you took 3 starters I don't care much about (in their final forms) and made them more interesting. I'd much rather they do something new with less popular Pokemon when making new forms than giving fan favourites a new design which will inevitably fail to live up to the original

I like the idea of serperior becoming super flowery since the language of flowers originated in france, with the first popular book on the matter being published not to long before the renovation of paris

I was waiting for this video to come out and you never disappoint! Awesome concepts!!!

Yes, I love that you gave Emboar some attention! It's my favorite Unova starter purely because of nostalgia, and seeing it turn sadistic is pretty funny

I'd take the new Intellion in a heart-beat. I'm upset it isn't ORIGINALLY a Water/Ghost-type, it would've been so cool.

I really like those ideas. It's definitely a great way to improve the Chickorita line. I also probably have a bit bias, but I love the Inteleon idea. It's too freaking cool. It's definitely my favorite of these. I wish it would be in the game.

that comma in the "my wife, cat and i" is the MVP of the ad segment

Serperior needs love, lots of it

Torterra as the original French Tarasque but with added influence from the DND Tarrasque would be amazing though

I love this video, but I have a small sticking point; barding is not _solely_ a term for horse armor, but also refers to a form of armor primarily composed of cloth or leather, which could either be worn on it's own, allowing for more mobility, or layered underneath plate or chainmail. Notably, plate and chainmail were, historically, almost _never_ worn without barding underneath (another specific name for human cloth armor is a brigantine)

I think scrying bubbles would be balanced if entered the battlefield with one bubble and it's evasiveness drops by two stages if it gets hit. A couple bubbles getting popped on contact makes sense to me

19:56: Well, I would definitely be one of Kalos Emboar's victims. Heck, it would probably get me for calling the Polaner Allfruit mere "Jelly."

A new Neo Ghetsis video AND a speculative ZA video?!? You spoil us, Lockstin

I love all of the local variants that are being theorized, but these are some of my favorites! You've actually made me enjoy the Chikorita line!

-Water: Crying/scrying? GENIOUS!!! -Fire: STOP. THATS ENOUGH. This is now my favorite starter -Grass: FINALLY someone else sees that thing's horsiness! Also, the layers!!! A bard? Apollo adjacent. Also a flower? Like Hyacinthus, Apollo's lover!? Espinas from MH is in there too???? (lots of stretches, but stil, MY GODS) You COOKED. These are perfect and I will die of dissapointment because they are not official 😭

I was not prepared for you to go to bat for bad guy chef Kalosian Emboar, but I'm kinda here for it? Also, it made me think of that line in the movie, Flushed Away: "I'm French: I find everyone's pain funny but my own." XD I just. Bruh. Excellent build, and if they did that, I think I'd need one? Also, loving Intellion and Meganium as well! I kinda hope we get this!

wow, I can't believe American Dad once had a bit that included the "eat it under a napkin" and it was all real, not just a gag.

I like that you took three commonly hated upon starters and gave them an upgrade! I personally love all of these underrated starters, but these designs are killer!

Lockstin gets me more invested in Pokémon then Pokémon itself.

A joan of arc based starter would be super cool, could see cinderace possibly

i like how inteleon's moustache also looks like an old-fashioned mask you'd wear at a ball that Catherine de Medici would go to

6:17 OMG wait this place is definitely the inspiration for that one route/castle place in X and Y where they have Honedge and Espurr in the fields (and the Daycare Center nearby)

16:08 the Rise of the TMNT villain Meat Sweats also is in this category of pig chefs

I love the ideas presented, especially Meganium which gives it an amazing defensive type. It would be pretty neat if like in X and Y, they would have you choose between another set of starters like with the Kanto starters. Maybe later on you get the choice between Piplup, Snivy, and whatever fire starter they go with and they get their own Megas.

Phantom theives mentioned; subscribed . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . YOU NEVER SEE IT COMIIIIIIIIING YOU'LL SEE THAT MY MIND IS TOO FAST FOR EYES

Heh^^ That Emboar was extremely inspired, love it! On a tangent, i also once invented an attack that felt similar to this fire types signature one. "Rope Burn" was a wrap type attack used by a sadistic Omastar and would cause guaranteed flinching if the opposing pkmn was suffering from a burn but fur every flinch the attack and special attack stats would get one rise (to show how the victim was struggling to excape from the pain.).

there is no way lockstin made megganium such a good kalosian form, i would choose it no doubt

No one: Lockstin: Pokemon Legends *ZUH*

One thing to note about the starters, if we base them off of certain aspects of PLA, then they probably wouldn’t get brand new signature abilities. They also wouldn’t have any abilities in game, like PLA

Kalosian Intelion ability who give a great use to doesn't check accuracy moves like Aerial Ace

Nice that you acknowledge the easy route before diving into your own personal choice, helps make the video more fun. Do you intend do have another prediction video after the official starter choices are revealed?

This really made me see Tepig and Sobble in a new light. I LOVE the new reigonal Inteleon and Emboar!!

Bro, I envision the learning you do for all this information.. It's highly entertaining! Keep at it ❤

Daaaaaamn that Kalosian Inteleon is wayyyyyyy too perfect!! Extremely cool lore behind it and SO well executed!

I feel like snivy would be a good starter for this due to how dignified it already looks...totally not just cuz its my favorite starter

16:08 I was not expecting to see Word World in a Lockstin and Gnoggin video.

I like how you included the night gags, whose pleasure comes from corrupting mortals

These are some pretty wicked designs! I wouldn’t mind getting something like these! Man, I never knew how sadistic French cooking was. Imagine if Ratatouille had been more realistic. 😳

The old Lockstin avatars have me reeling😂

WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN EVERY TIME I GO BACK TO A OLD CHANNEL I USED TO LIKE THEY REALESE A NEW EPISODE/VIDEO THAT VERY DAY ! (nice intelion design btw)

I really like this, it gives Tepig the second chance that for so long only I thought it deserved.

As a French guy, I can't get enough of Lockstin trying to say "joie de viv-era" properly 😂
