@akakay0131 6 месяцев назад

You mentioned Virbank could be named after Burbank because they’re both industrial, but a stronger connection is that Burbank is called the “Media Capital of the World” because it’s right outside of Hollywood, just like how Virbank is just outside Pokéstar Studios.

@gamemasteranthony2756 6 месяцев назад

Maybe…but that would be a bit off since Unova is based on NYC, not LA. HOWEVER…there is still a connection given how many shows are filmed in NYC, so it’s not too far off.

This isn't overthinking, most of what is said in these videos is just gamefreak following basic design principles(giving things a theme, referencing historical/mythological things in designs, making sure to stay coherent throughout the entire thing) you could argue some of the things he says sometimes are a reach or unintended side effects but this video was pretty spot on outside of missing some references(virbank having pokestar studios next to it and every citizen being named after someone from california, for example) if you look at any game with a big budget through the same lens you'll be surprised to find how much is just inspiration and referencing

@Bossfightmedia 6 месяцев назад

Pokemon does really not try too hard to overthink things. The Mega Evo dex entries are the best proof lol.

@DaikoruArtwin 6 месяцев назад

I think the Legend Badge might actually be based on Zekrom and Reshiram: The badge is made up of two layers, a light one and a dark one, which could actually be referencing how both Zekrom and Reshiram were only one Pokemon before. Both gym leaders are also very familiar with both of these dragons, and the gym design is also fully black and white.

@togekiss1995 6 месяцев назад

I thought it was more based on the town and gym leaders themselves than the type referenced. It’s got a larger dim grey (for the old man with plenty of white Dredan and the past version of the city) behind the more darker grey (for the future city and the darker colored cinnamon roll Iris). Would make more sense if Iris was the leader of Black and Dreden of White, but it does still work. Iris is being influenced by the town (black before white) and Dreden protects this hi tech land even as it leaves him behind (white embraces black).

@amesstarline5482 6 месяцев назад

1:26 It's almost like they're a rotation battle. 4:20 "Basic" also fits because it's "knowing the basics". Knowledge. Library and museum. Now you know the basics once you beat her. (And in B2W2, Cheren's a teacher and near the Trainer School, which also has the elemental monkeys). 12:01 I think the white and black interlocking is also about Unova's dragons. Marlin being after this in B2W2 is almost like saying "The legend continues". Ripples. 12:01 Virbank's like the closest thing to a West Coast city, fitting for it being the "West Coast" of Unova. Burbank, Roxie looks like Kurt Cobain, literal Industrial Metals, her guitarist is named Billy Jo and I'm betting Nicky is named for Stevie Nicks, etc.

Cool idea! No clue how that would work though, it makes sense for the first gym since it picks from the starter's types, but after that you can catch more pokemon and the type thing wouldn't work as well

@MrAuthor3DS 6 месяцев назад

Another potential angle for the Basic Badge's name: learning the _basics._ It fits with the book-like design, and, from Norman to Ilima, Normal-type specialists seem to have some or other educational role. You could probably also add Whitney, since she's essentially a super-Lass, and Lasses are almost always depicted as schoolgirls. Larry is still an exception, with his angle being "I have no strong feelings one way or the other".

@ChangedMyNameFinally69 5 месяцев назад

17:20 Bonus meaning for Virbank. A 'cloud bank'. A cloud bank is a large mass or layer of clouds that covers a specific area, often observed as a significant range of clouds approaching or covering the horizon, which usually denotes an impending change in the weather.

@DragonBee259 6 месяцев назад

About Clay’s badge, the specific way the parts are positioned against each other has it looking like a fault, which occurs when a large piece of land sort of shifts down and creates this broken line pattern.

18:55 Some more 'depth' to the Wave Badge is that it could be denoting the different oceanic zones, and the less light available the deeper you go.

10:06 There _is_ such a thing as cloud seeding though. In the US, it's used for droughts, to reduce the size of hailstones in thunderstorms and to reduce fog at airports.

I never recognized that the Basic Badge is designed like the spine of a book, that's really cool. Also, there is a reason why Virbank and Humilau don't really look like places in New York, it's because Unova is based on the 5 Boroughs of New York City and important surrounding areas which often includes New Jersey. This is important because Virbank is based on Jersey City and Humilau is based on Long Island, at the very least based on location and such.

My own interpretation of Opelucid's name is actually a combination of the opacus cloud and the word, "lucid" which means something is understood, or expressed clearly. Not only is this a combination of two opposites, but I think it works well for the city where you learn so much about the legendaries. You could also justify it's name based on one particular scene. The one where Ghetsis declares N's capture of his dragon and urges people to free their pokemon. Many people of the city have their hearts _clouded_ by doubt, but you, Iris, Drayden, and Alder understand _clearly_ that his words are wrong.

Yes, the anime also pronounces Delibird as "Deli-Bird" and not as "Delivered but with a b instead of a v". Cilan's name comes from Cilantro. Pronouncing Cilan like Cilantro but without the "tro" is imo reasonable.

@@tanandalynch9441 Arceus is both correctly pronounced "Arse-EE-us" and "Ark-EE-us". Both are right. Originally, it was "Arse-EE-us". It was changed to "Ark-EE-us" to avoid controversy over the appropriateness of the name. If one wants to argue one pronunciation as more correct than the other, then "Arse-EE-us" is originally correct and "Ark-EE-us" is just a retcon. Instead, it's better to just say, "both are correct because both were and therefore are canon pronunciations."

You mentioned Icarus but didn't make the connection with flying to high to the sun causes wax to melt, just like snow on a mountain top melts into icicles and eventually feeds streems and rivers. It's a great transition from the previous gym. The legends badge looks like a lance or a stylized sword and shield (Gen 8 foreshadowing.)

@enzotakusurace-san1153 6 месяцев назад

An interesting fact is that the Unova cities in Italian, do not have names of clouds but of Winds, example Openlucid City in Italian is called Boreduopoli (Bora+Duo+Poli: Bora is a cold wind, Duo from two because of the two Gym Leaders and poli is the Italian suffix for cities in general). It would also be interesting to know about the motives or inspirations behind certain Italian names, wouldn't it?

Well, when you look at the way they dressed, such as Drayden, where he's like a business man, willing to put in the work of today's day and age. Where as Iris not only dressing casually, but is too laid back and wanders around here and there. Even more so in the anime, where she's more depicted as a black female Tarzan, what with hanging out in the wilderness and climbing trees.

Lifelong New Yorker here. Humilau City is EXTREMELY based on Fire Island/Jones Beach Island, the barrier beach strips of Long Island. We may not have many palm trees on them, but most of the towns are beach houses with either no or very few roads, and just boardwalks that you walk around on from house to house. And they're one of the nicest surfing scenes on the East coast! Look up Davis Park for an idea of what I'm talking about.
