Guys, go look at Iron Treads Sleeping (yeah despite being "robots" the Iron Pokemon sleep and eat), it rocks itself back and forth in its Tread! The seemingly robotic pokemon performs an action instinctive to organic life: seeking comfort. They aren't robots, THEY'RE CYBORGS UNDER A MECHANICAL EXOSKELETON! On that note I think Volcaron had the easiest transition, it swapped out its Chitin Exoskeleton for a metal one.

Paradox pokemon are essentially convergent evolutions taken from diferent eras (the very distant past or the very distant future) that are also meant to be like the "big foots" of the pokemon world. So the weird names and the primitive/robotic designs make sense in my eyes since they're supposed to be like cryptids (that are creatures from cryptozoology and ufology mainly known from anecdotal stories and other claims rejected by the scientific community). Which is why they all resemble known creatures but also have descriptions with bizarre lore and why they're featured in tabloids like the occulture magazine.

One thing you have to keep in mind with Chien-Pao is that the sword IS the Pokémon, not the snow leopard/weasel thing. That's basically just a construct created in order to move around, so it makes sense that the sword fragments would pierce the construct's face since they would stick better, and it's not like it would hurt or anything (hell, if anything, whatever pain Chien-Pao feels would probably stem from the fact that the sword, its actual body, is broken into two pieces)

@EpicScizor Год назад

I honestly would have liked it better if the swords pierced it's body or perhaps eyes, but I can easily see that being too violent for current gen Pokemon. As is the swords are just... Too long for the pseudo-fangs they're meant to look like.

Clodsire is not only adorable, it’s also great execution of a really cool concept! Basically the skull and crossbones on Wooper/Clod aren’t just because of the poison typing; They’re also based off the Iberian ribbed newt, which is a salamander that has sharp rips. When it’s threatened, it arches its back, poking its sharp bone spikes out at attackers. Its skin regenerates soon after, though, so don’t worry. That’s what the things that come out of clodsire’s back are.

Spidops feels like an old-school spy and I cherish that. Being a spy doesn't need some cool tuxedo agents style to it.

Bombirdier is in this region mainly because of two reasons: cranes are very very typical and famous here in Spain, they're even symbolic animals on some places (like Extremadura); and because one of its inspirations, if not the main one, is the italian Fiat BR.20 Cicogna ("crane" in italian), a medium bomber plane used mainly and for the first time in the Spanish Civil War.

At the same time, I think the line's naming convention, related with the above imagery, is cute lol, like the three forms of Paw or something ha-ha.

Oh just a note on Veluza. People seemed confused why it is so fast in the overworld but so slow in battle. That’s because of its move fillet away where it sheds enough weight to become fast.

Here's my hot take, I actually think the future paradox pokemon and past paradox pokemon have really interesting naming conventions. They are both really blurry and unreal, but in totally different ways. They're designed to give these creatures a lack of identity. They don't have specific names like pokemon do. It's describing the origins of these pokemon I think. For example, the past paradox mons are more immediately descriptive like a cave man trying to describe something to avoid or see. Watch out for the roaring moon or the fluttering mane. It's premoderm, random and chaotic. The future paradox pokemon are descriptive in a colder sense. Like a scentific catalogue very uniform and concise. It's criticize for being bland and that's a good thing because it's supposed to be bland. Iron Bundle, Iron Hands, Iron Moth. Think of a real species like "yellow-headed house finch" it's the same concept, but taken to an extreme.

It’s a reference to how psychics are mind over matter. There are various psychic Pokémon that don’t eat for long periods of time in order to increase their power, Veluza is just taking it further by literally shedding its skin to be powerful

If you played Scarlet, I'm curious how much you've seen of the Violet paradox Pokémon. The main appeal with them, for me at least, is the super unique animations. The way Iron Bundle launches its head off on a spring, the way Iron Moth emotes like one of those robot dog toys and moves its wings in front of it to attack, etc.. The only truly bad one is Iron Jugulis, who actually has nothing interesting about it. But I will say, the idea of actual speculative evolution designs instead of just robots would have been pretty cool. I have also realized you forgot to even mention Flutter Mane, which I think is a testament to its... existence.

Never thought of the fire as hair, I always thought it was billowing from the mouth like with mega charizard x while also acting as a used up, broken nest for the fire bird, which I also love. The wombo combo of showing symbiosis between crocs and birds, while also giving skeledirge a mic for their dirges, AND giving us an example of pokemon that consist of two seperate individuals without it being literally just two of the same creatures like tandemaus or diglett?! 👌 PLUS the reference to land crocodilimorphs like kaprosuchus by giving it a rounded tail rather than a paddled one? Perfect way to do a hydrophobic crocodile. My only real complaint with skeledirge is why does the chest (and fire for that matter of fact ) have such a sharp angle to it? Really would've preferred that to be smoothed out, makes him look a little blocky. Oh well, I guess I just wanted to gush over skeledirge for a bit.

Honestly there isn't a single Pokémon this gen I actively dislike, like even the ones I'm not a fan of have something to them I enjoy. when it to the paradox forms I will say I vastly prefer scarlets, but seeing the animations of violets greatly increases my enjoyment of them, like the fact that when they sleep they turn off and how iron treads rolls with its body staying upright, and speaking of iron treads and great tusk, I don't think they could have chosen a better Pokémon than Doniphan, the tyre mammoth Pokémon, to have as the one you see first in both versions, with the original being a mixture between something old and something new to begin with. Also fun thing I noticed with the treasures of ruin Pokémon is that the seals that hold them are all coloured as the types they each are weak too (poison, water, grass, and either fire or fighting, I lean to fighting cause its more orange than red) , I like to think its due to some old form of typed tera crystals built into the shrines.

I absolutely love all the fully evolved starters. We've got a dancing duck that seems to be inspired by Carnival, a performing Lynx that seems to be inspired by masquerade or Mardi Gras, and a singing crocodile that looks to be inspired by Dia de Los Muertos. "Flamboyant Party" is a running theme my little thespian heart and I can get behind!

24:18 it's a 90s mascot for a 90s franchise, to celebrate the fact that it's the 1000th monster for said franchise

Hold on... So a Magician, a Musician, and a Dancer? The starters are part of a festival!

I think kingambit has a clever name, it’s a final evolution so being the king to the chess board and the gambit. It’s clever. Just kinda wish there was a queengambit to go along side it

Frigibax is based on baby godzilla His mid evolution is also another godzilla reference And finally baxcalibur is 100% a godzilla reference even with it's signature move being a ref to how godzilla flies with it's nuclear breath, but icy breath instead

I thought they were spinosaurids

@MetronaJ Год назад

@@chickadeestevenson5440 pretty sure its that too but its like largely a godzilla ref

@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions Год назад

Kinda strange since T-Tar exist with, like, multiple implied mecha godzilla counterparts...

@MetronaJ Год назад

@@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions ah but youre mistaken Ttar was never a godzilla reference It was a reference to a different kaiju From ultraman ... Yeah ttar straight up was never meant to be godzilla

@@chickadeestevenson5440 Hope not, it'd be horrible representation for such a uniquely archeologically discussed dinosaur! So many unique design options just from all the different iterations of the spinosaurus itself and this godzilla try-hard knock off is it?!

I think there's a lot of hidden details with the most future paradox pokemon that make them really endearing once you notice them, at least to me. Like, Iron Bundle for instance: Its head is attatched to its torso with a spring, and it uncoils all Jack-in-the-box like when its K.O'd, and it doesn't usually walk like Delibird, its feet are also like skis for it to glide across the floor. Despite them being robots, it adds a lot of personality to them that I feel is easy to miss.

0:56 - 1:14: I think Meowscarada fits the grass type really well. It evolution line has a connection with plants and it works well with the abilities it gains as it evolves. Its magic flower bouquets are part of its magic acts and its signature attack. I think this Pokémon works really well as the Grass Cat Masquerade Magician.

When I first saw skeledirge, I had the same reaction I had when I first saw those old horrifying Alola starter "leaks". I just randomly saw a picture of skeledirge while scrolling and just instantly thought "lol imagine if that was real".
