MandJTV Pokevids I would've liked the video more if you had more rip offs from other gens. It seemed kinda genwunnish and as someone who doesn't like genwunners you can see why
The ‘Cats’ lines: Meowth line, the Glameow line, and the Purrloin line. The ‘Extra Birds’: Spearow line, Rufflet line and Ducklett line. Oh, and the Jellyfish lines, but won’t go into those.
I remember when I was little I thought luvdisc evolved into alomomola. When Luvdisc reached lv. 100 thats when it finally clicked in my 10 year old brain that Luvdisc didn’t evolve
@@dezymond9860 really? i thought the reverse xD like mewtwo was obviuoisly an imperfect clone of mew but one day if i train it right, it'll become a perfect mew clone.
@@Natsu25100 yes, because xyz introduced mega evolution and since Audino can mega evolve they decided to make it harder to find to make mega evolution more exclusive
I thought you weren't including pokemon that fulfilled the basic requirements of a region, wich include A. Starters B. Normal type rodents C. Normal type birds D. Electric Rodents Pikachu clones ARE a regional requirement
Mimikyu was created to have a pikachu disguise and there is something deeper going on, Mimikyu is not a pikachu rip-off, mimikyu is the thing inside the pikachu rip-off
Mimikyu isn't a Pikachu clone. On the contrary, it's more like an older, already established wrestler like Goldberg in Pikachu coming in to take time, money, and attention away from the newer guys like Bray Wyatt in Mimikyu.
Pinser for heracross abra kadabra and alakazam for RALTS kirlia and gardevoir chimeco for porygon and the epic pokemon dratini,larvitar,BELDUM,trapinch,bagon these pokemons r hard to evolve
@@kabertownhallnew5346 I feel like the pinsir heracross is a huge stretch. I don't see a resemblance at all actually. Heracross is a super chill fighting bug.
The foongus line are also supposed to be mimics An enemy that very much wants to trick you to eat you Voltorb doesnt and is most likely based on an old yokai that inhabits old objects with great care They only fulfill the same roles on the surface mechanic of the game but pretty much have nothing else in common and would be polar opposites
Kyruem and Necrozma They both have 2 games centered around them(Black2/White2, UltraSun/UltraMoon) Both can fuse with the box legendaries of the previous games
Love your vids! However, I think including Gen 5 was sorta lazy and unjustified. You admitted this generation was a soft-reboot of the franchise. As such, I believe this generation included these "rip offs" as homages so the player didn't feel completely alienated by all the new mons. I think many people appreciated the familiar faces!
Unfortunately many people didnt appreciate it Hence the lowest sales in their history That said they do this in every game Gen 5 wasnt as much of a soft reboot as people think More than 90% of that dex is nothing like the rest I think Gen 5 was meant to be their magnum opus They were giving you a fresh start with sprinkled in familiar faces A more balanced region and went the extra mile with musical score and amount of things to do and story Going so far creating to this day still the only true sequels Theres so much more to consider for this theory as well that it becomes pretty undeniable (this doesn't mean they didnt make mistakes) And it bombed so they retreated and started from where they earned the most Their safe ideas
@@lillith7257 I don't know... I was able to make connections to about half the roster in Gen 5 compared to Gen 1. If you wanted to specific list I could give it to you.
If people would just step back a minute an re-think what Unova tried and accomplished to do! Unova is the very main-series region that is not based on Japan. It's literally based on a whole new continent even! It just makes SENSE for there to be only new, never before seen species Pokémon. Tauros and Buffalont are perfect examples of why it's even natural, that there are similar yet different species. Buffalos are naturally only found in america. Yet, there are other species of ox found around the world, hence Tauros. And that is just one example. Heck, a lot of the Unova Pokémon look way more interesting and likeable than their "counterparts". Golem looks lame, while Gigalith is one of the coolest Pokémon to be ever created. Amoongus, while not the most appealing design, is at least more creative than a literal Pokéball with a face on it. Do you guys travel to other continents and fully expect to find the same species of flora and fauna there like you do at home? In all honesty, if Gamefreak ever decides to base a region on Australia, it better be another Unova-scenario! ... Although, I guess they already created some Pokémon based on australian wildlife, so I guess that idea is out of the window.
At least Morpeko has an interesting gimmick. Otherwise it’s a clone. It also joins Dedenne in not having ground immunity since it only has Hunger Switch ability.
Finally! Someone said it! While watching that part, I'm thinking, "Okay, MAYBE Feebas is a rip off, but when I look at Milotic vs Gyarados, I see Beauty vs Power."
I consider Metagross a spiritual rip-off of Tyranitar. Both are post-Elite Four pseudo-legendaries that have one defensive/earth-based physical type and one offensive/magical special type. The only thing stopping them from being actual rip-offs is that they serve more as counterparts (with both having a type that is super-effective and a type that is weak to the other).
...what have you been taking? The only similarities with Tyranitar and Metagross are these are only non-Dragon pseudos (but Tyranitar is kinda dragon-like and learns quite some Dragon-type moves), which are bulky, mostly-psyhical attackers. And that's all.
@YASH SINGH maybe they'le say something about that someday, how unovans must have named them prior to finding out that they are a regional variety or maybe they stuck to their description to make them unique.
@24Devin Meis Just because two Pokémon have the same typing doesn’t automatically make it a rip-off. Look at Foongus and Amoongus versus Voltorb and Electrode! The thing that I think makes Gigalith’s line not a rip-off of Metagross’s line is that Metagross’s line is a pseudo-legendary line while Gigalith’s is not, and that more importantly, they aren’t based off of remotely similar concepts. Metagross is all about metal... golem... thingies, while Gigalith’s is about a living geode.
5 is actually one of my favorite generations because of the vast number of new designs. It felt way more like playing Pokemon for the first time again then any of the other games because every single encounter was something I'd never seen before.
I feel like milotic is not really a rip off of gyrados but instead more of a parallel. Magikarp is the weak fish that gets powerful, and febass is the ugly fish that turns beautiful. They have similar gimmicks, but I feel like they were created to be two sides of a coin, like rivals or foils, and not rip offs. Still a great vid though!
Heh. What a nerd. Don’t take that seriously. Because I’m a nerd too. I took the time to write down the type matchup chart. The nature table. And as I am typing this, I’m writing down all the abilities and what they do.
Problem there is that Gothita and Ralts have different design concepts, and Gothita is a version exclusive while Ralts is not and also has a split evolution, with Gothita's counterpart being the Solosis line. As for whoever said Solosis is a clone of Alakazam, that can't be the case when 1. Alakazam is a trade evolution, whereas Reuniclus is a level up evolution. 2. Alakazam's counterpart I would consider to be Gengar, which Gothita doesn't resemble in the slightest. They may seen like clones, but that is more than likely purely coincidental.
It's not the fighting styles of these pokemon which makes them rip offs all four are pure fighting type martial artists and boxing and kick boxing are martial arts.
Sawk and Throh could've been Female dominant as opposed to Male Dominant like Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan, and there could have been secondary types for them both (like Metal and/or Ground). Also, their colors could've been altered so they didn't have to look like a pair of Pokémon that belong together (Blue and Red always go together). GameFreak just isn't that creative.
Pikachu clone is a recurring humor that the creators love to play... At the same time... The regional birds is another.. Every region the same normal flying HM slave and since Pidgeot line came first.. Aren't they all in a way rip offs?... However... TALONFLAME BREAKS THE STEREOTYPE!!.. (we all love talonflame for that)
I personally hope we DO keep getting Pikachu clones! I want to see how many they can make that are still cool! I also want there to be a trainer that has six pokemon that are ALL Pikachu clones (Like Togedemaru, Dedenne, Pachirisu, Mimikyu, Emolga, and maybe either Pichu or Plusle and Minun) bonus points if their pre/post battle dialogue talks about an older sibling they are trying to emulate and then you come across a trainer who uses a Pikachu (the big sibling should be an Ace Trainer or something similar, the younger should be like....a youngster/lass)
It fits all the criteria except being an electric type. Small, resembles Pikachu, cute...and if you count Marril as a pikaclone, then being electric doesn't matter. I count it with the pikaclones
@Rockin Have you used Togedemaru. Its pretty decent actually, the only downside is his huge Ground weakness, but it can make up for that by learning Magnet Rise by lvl up or to build a team around it. Its a pain Togedemaru can't learn any Steel moves by lvl up either and can only learn Gyro Ball via TM, but the use of Move Tutors has made it so it can use Iron Tail and Iron Head and we also have to consider the possibility that it can change movesets in later generation, as has been done by other Pokemon before (Like Snorlax being able to learn High Horsepower in gen 7, despite not being a horse, thus that it can learn the move makes no sense)
Feebas is definetely a ripoff of Magikarp. But I would actually say Milotic is a parallel to Gyarados, being beautiful instead of ferocious and ugly and peaceful and intelligent rather than violent and instinctful
“Just because the Pokémon fill the same role doesn’t mean they’re a rip off, they also need to have a similar design.” Proceeds to base his list entirely on the Pokémon’s roles and nothing to do with the designs.
Smalls Hardly opposites. Though the martial styles are different they do have similar moves. Boxing is half of kick boxing. Judo and karate share some throws and takedowns if Im not mistaken.
@@nattyegdelp9663 Bruxish and Carvanha are both fish but look different so people don't complain. Bouffalant's similarities with Tauros is just bullshit and they aren't the same animal. Same animal base, same type, same appearance, very similar moveset, almost same artwork, same colour scheme...
Foxy Raccoon Your opinion isn't fact. Even if you don't think that they're even close to being improvements, there are some people that love these Pokemon.
Foxy Raccoon I like ALL of the newer versions as gen 1 was literally, oh look and object...lets add a face and put it in the game, caterpie is probably the least imaginative Pokemon and guess what IT'S GEN 1
All of the Gen 5 Pokemon listed here (with the exception of Alomomola) are homages to Gen 1 because Gen 5 was a callback to Gen 1 as it was the Gen that introduced the most Pokemon since gen 1. That's why you're calling all of these Pokemon "ripoffs." It's because the concepts and designs being so similar to Gen 1 are ON PURPOSE. Gamefreak made a conscious choice to make these designs so similar. That's why the Pidove and Pidgey line are similar. That's why the Patrat and Rattata line are similar. These aren't coincidences or Gamefreak being lazy, they're making creative decisions by making callbacks to the previous games. This is because Gen 1 was the Gen that established everything as it was THE VERY FIRST GEN. Therefore the very first of its kind, and so it won't be perfect. With every generation came improvements to the game mechanics, and a set of Pokemon similar to Gen 1 because Gen 1 established a formula that Gamefreak could follow when making each new game. These Pokemon listed here are not ripoffs. These Pokemon are just all similar in concept and/or design because Gamefreak made a conscious choice to do that and it just seems that you're not capable of picking up patterns. I would also like to add that you should also consider doing research on the games if you're going to be making content based around them.
Actually, Milotic and Gyarados also share the same base stats, but in different stats. Milotic has it's stats as 95 | 60 | 79 | 100 | 125 | 81 Gyarados has it' stats as 95 | 125 | 79 | 60 | 100 | 81
Uh, yeah? Base Stat Total doesn't mean it has the same stats but redistributed. All the Sudo-Legendaries have 600 Base Stat Total but they have diferent base stats.
I think Munna and Musharna are rip-offs of Drowzee and Hypno, since they both are based on the Baku , are psychic Types and have something to do with sleeping and dreaming.
not exactly, because theres 1 main difference between those pairs, which is, evolution method, like the Drowzee line evolves by Lv up, while the Munna line evolves with the Moon stone.
courage1 well I guess u can argue that but does chansey and Audino even have similar evolution lines? No chantey has 3 and Audino has 0 and a mega, yet everyone knows Audino is a rip-off of chansey. And not every pokemon on his list had same evolution methods either. I would have to agree that Munna is a rip-off (even tho it was hinted back all the way at gen 1)
Here's a good thought They're inspirations not rip offs Especially with the some of them being opposites or counterparts only sharing a design concept And the rest directly improving or morphing the concepts
IceGodSlayer LOL ME TOO İ WAS THİNKİNG EXACTLY THE SAME İ LOVE BEN10 and coincidencly my favorite pokemon is gigalith and my favorite ben10 alien is chromastone
The Pika-clones might all share a common ancestor and as time went on, actual evolution happened due to where they were and they became what they are but kept similarities to the original, like the cheek pouches and electric typing.
Unova was the first one I watched cause I found it on Netflix so I thought they were the original ones then found indigo and thought these are so alike
i actually just recently learned to appreciate the roggenrola line a lot more than even geodude because it's pure rock instead of rock/ground, meaning it has no 4x weaknesses
