Just a small clarification, from what I've heard, chameleons don't actually use their colors as camouflage, it's more of a display of communication for other chameleons, and any camouflage is coincidental.

@atgosh 28 дней назад

Yeah you're right, their colour's due to different coloured cells in their skin called chromatophores that grow and shrink, and the way evolution works meant that a chameleon that was green when relaxed (depends on the species, some are usually brown coz theg live in dead leaves) would coincidentally be harder for predators to see than a neon purple one. So the green genes were passed on since they survived more often and it helps that they conveniently often live in trees. But an excited chameleon can be bright red or blue, panther chameleons get especially colourful when angry or horny haha

Another spy gadget at Inteleon's disposal is in its tail, specifically the sharp frill that comes out of the dark blue line, which is a reference to switchblades. That same frill becomes huge and spirals all around the tail in its Gmax form, making any attempts to climb the tower a not very... Sharp idea.

After reading the first book in the Tarzan series I was amazed to read about how the Dum Dum (some sort of rituals the apes did) seemed to be like drumming on logs. Which makes it even more amazing to be that Disney got Phil Collins (a world famous drummer) to do the soundtrack to Tarzan and then Pokémon has a gorilla that plays the drums that could be based on the Cadbury Gorilla who played a Phil Collins song in the advert. It could all be coincidental but it still fascinates me that things can be that way.

6:46 as a professional plant nerd. The best I can offer to that claim is, people who are more likely to play music to plants, probably also know and care about plants more. So, while you can find plant growers who do play music, that music part might just be an unnecessary step. Causality doesn't mean causation. Also, after intensive ways to not make google confused and show me the thing I'm not looking for. According to Michigan State University, wind helps a seedling grow a stronger stem. (I think also just general movement of plants might stimulate vegetative growth. But google, doesn't like cooperating with searches for that) So, maybe the sound waves can move the plants enough to stimulate that response??? Which of I remember correctly, louder music genres did in some tests yield better results. But take that with a pile of salt and look it up yourself before spreading this without fact check.

@TheHammerGuy94 28 дней назад

Before I finish the video: The middle stage starters look like they're some highschool sitcom. Drizzile is the generic angsty emo teen. apparently able to set up water balloon traps to dissuade others from entering its cave to avoid social contact. Thwakey is the band drummer who gets into violent outbursts. Just look at the way it uses its two sticks to beat up its opponents. And Raboot is the angsty teen varsity "jock". compared to your typical jock stereotype, he's the new guy, and looks scrawny compared to the other bigger members.

@laurawasnewsky155 26 дней назад

Here's another potential connection to British pop culture I noticed pertaining to Scorbunny. Considering its a rabbit with predominantly white fur that runs around very fast, maybe it also pulls some slight inspiration from the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland? Also, Rillaboom being a gorilla that plays a drum could be a reference to Donkey Kong. Which works especially well since not only is Donkey Kong also a fellow Nintendo character, but Rare, the video game studio that was the original developer of the Donkey Kong Country games, is based out of England!

@levistewart8856 28 дней назад

I think Rillaboom not having a wooden drum chest that it beats with its fists was such a missed opportunity. Same to a lesser extent for Inteleon not shooting out of its mouth in place of its hands. Like, a water…chameleon tongue that it snipes with.

@nataliecoronado4206 28 дней назад

I've seen people do redesigns for Rillaboom that incorporates the chest drum concept, and I've genuinely never seen the idea come out looking good. At worst the chest drum comes out looking like giant nipples, and it just looks really uncomfortable. I think Pokémon making the drum something it carried around was the right call

Honestly, they could even do both. Blastoise has cannons, but also shoots water from its legs and mouth. Inteleon could easily have a water tongue and finger guns, but alas, I lack the creative muscles to realize the idea.

I can attest to the "do plants grow faster with music"-thingy, as I tested it in an highschool project of mine. I put watercress in three same-sized cardboard boxes along with some cheap, same-brand mp3-players. One box had the mp3-players play classical music like Vivaldi, one box had heavy/death metal (example: Blitzkrieg from Kill 'Em All), and one box had no music playing as a reference. I made sure only the music was different in all boxes (same number of seeds, same substrate, same environment, same equipment, same lights, etc.) Results were quite cool. Don't know the exact numbers anymore, but the seeds exposed to classical music grew around 30% longer than those without music. Meanwhile the seeds exposed to heavy/death metal either grew very poorly or had died. Didn't test for significancy or anything (I wasn't that old and wise yet), but by just eyeing there was a very obvious difference between the three boxes. It is an easily replicable experiment without too many costs, so I would suggest anyone to try it themselves.

If you didn't name your Grookey after any British Invasion Drummer then I don't know what to tell ya. Keith Moonkey is right there!

the description of Intelleon brought autism to mind for me. "masking" is a term used for autistic people who hide their autistic traits by copying the behavior of neurotypical people around them

@sandradermark8463 27 дней назад

I am autistic myself so I know this

@gauchesymbiote1039 24 дня назад

I'm autistic and agree.

Tiny correction, in the mesoamerican ball game, in some cultures, it was the WINNERS who were sacrificed, as it was considered an honor to the gods to be as such. In place, their families would gain socioeconomic status, and basically move one up in the social heiriarchy. Again, I could be wrong, this is all things I remember from a Mayan tour like 8 years ago.

Cinderace's giantamax form look a lot laharl from disgaea riding a meteor. I am not kidding, look it up. Same giant ball of fire, same pose while standing on top of the ball of fire and cinderace's long ears perfectly matches laharls two long pieces of hair. Also in case your wondering if this a one time time thing for laharl, it is not. Laharl has a move in game that summons a meteor for him to ride down to onto top of his enemies.

I like to think that all these references that you talk about in your videos are pure coincidences and that the guys at game freak that created these mons when they hear about these are like "Yeah haha we totally thought of that haha ha... am I right guys?".
