While the rest of the theory makes sense, the names of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres shouldn't be taken into consideration, since they're something that was changed in translation.

What if the unknown Pokemon from the first theory is infact, unown. Tell me you couldn't see an unown turning into a wynot tail. I love the idea that what if unowns hidden power determined what it evolves into ie grass tangla, water shelder.

Another additional argument for black blob theory is that shelder can alter the evolution of Slowbro line by attaching itself on the body of said Pokemon.

I just noticed that Unown share the same strange eyes on the black blobs. Also, Sigilyph appears to have Black Blob/Unown similarities.

5:06 Could also be Mimikyu in Alola. We never truly get to see its eyes but that could be the same Pokémon. Its just a lot scarier in Alola but not to us. Why? Bc we're not from Alola naturally٫ so we had more of an experience with this Pokémon unlike those from Alola. (Yes I know there's evidence against this in the anime I dont care. 😇)

7:53 It does not work. Japanese names have no Spanish references. Moreover, you were wrong. Their appearance resembled the legendary we know and that's why they are called so

Quick note on the "item ball," though due to the nature of the source, ymmv on how canon it is: in Colosseum and XD, the found items were contained in pokéball themed boxes.

Dont forget that pokemon have japanese names :( the english ones are just interpreted

I've seen a theory that Wobbuffet might be related to Unown due to the eyes and black body. Given their placements in the Johto dex and shared typing, I think that Wobbuffet might have originally been its evolved form.

It does makes sense with the first theory, especially since they specialise with defensive stats, either physical defense, hp or both, as well as each being 2 stage evolutions each

The items in Pokeballs makes sense because in PLA you only have satchels with limited item space and requires you to either store items or get upgrades

You can also Store items in the PC so storing them in a pokeball makes sense!

To add onto the Galarian bird thing, something is interesting. With a clear past and future theme from the professors and legendaries, it would make sense to consider the Galarian birds as teasers due to Articuno looking futuristic and Zapdos looking prehistoric. Moltres's involvement as a teaser is also present, but that's only the case if the recent wave of leaks is to be believed. (which they more than likely are, but still, don't want to spread the leaks to those who don't want them)

Imagine grabbing that item ball by mistake instead of sending out a Pokémon 😂

I used to think that Wobuffet was related to Unown. Later I wondered if there was a link to Mimikyu.

The last theory is actually true, since in Gen 1 there's actually an NPC that talks about an Item Ball when referring to an overworld item near them on the screen.

Dude, did you also forget the Other glaring issue with the Legendary Birds? Namely that their names aren't actually in Spanish, but English.... Freezer, Thunder, and Booster... with Thunder not to be confused with Jolteon (Thunders).

Problem with the blob theory: Cloyster exists

With the last theory about items coming in PokeBalls even makes more sense now that Legends Arceus is the first game where we need to buy extra slots for items in our adventure bags. Since PokeBalls are hand made in the game it'd be almost impossible to get that amount of items mass produced in the time period of Legends Arceus.

Ok but Articuno Zapdos and Moltres in the Galatians form are completely different, and they got their names because they possess similar traits to the original kanto trio

The white hand ghost is a Pokemon that is always following behind you forever behind you, unable to be seen by you but you can always feel it's present behind you.

95 % of the videos on this channel are worthles! Including this one!

I could’ve sworn that somewhere in one of the games it said the bike and/or the fishing rod was foldable

I REALLY really don’t like the idea that the Galarian birds were the “originals”. I’ve said this before on your channel I’m sure, but I’m pretty certain that it was directly called out either in the game or somewhere canonical that they are NOT related to the original birds; they were just named after them due to the people seeing a resemblance. I don’t think that there’s any reason to suggest that all regional forms must have an “original” version - its more likely convergent (or divergent, I forget which one is which) evolution, which is the real-world name for when two species that seem very similar evolve totally separate from one another but at the same time (roughly). I’m sure it’s fun to try and look and find out which one was “first” but that’s not always how evolution works.

Or maybe the bags have a similar property to pokéballs and can fit almost anything in there

Cant forget about Mimikyu can link to your black blob theory to as well Hoops! I’ve always enjoyed your content you’re definitely one of my faves

So I’m pretty sure legends arceus expressly says that the Pokémon itself is what’s shrinking. Poke balls are just kind of a trigger for their inclination to shrink. While I understand it’s pretty nonsensical the ball itself has almost nothing to do with shrinking the Pokémon and everything to do with keeping the Pokémon INSIDE after it shrunk. The first theory doesn’t make a bunch of sense. Because that means the Pokémon can also choose its evolutions freely and also you forget that the evolution of shellder specifically looks like ghastly. Also that the “blob” has only one eye in wobuffets baby evolution. I feel like that’s a VERY broad stretch to say the least. The Galatians bird part had me scratching my head and I say that as someone reads science papers for fun. While you aren’t all together wrong galatian Linoone and zigzagoom also exist and I’m absolutely certain they are not migratory and they also are said to be the originals of their kind. So I can’t say I put too much weight on the idea. Not to mention there is a giant tree SPECIFICALLY for them in galar and they don’t exactly seem like the kind of birds to mate which is normally why that sort of thing would exist which leads me to believe they spend a lot of time there for very different reasons that makes me feel it’s unlikely they spend a whole bunch of time in many other places. (Not to mention america is huge which is probably why the Canadian goose spends so much time there but the Iberian peninsula… isn’t, really.)

I feel like we all know those pokéballs are getting stored somewhere "outside" of your bag

Different parts of the legendary bird trio theory falls apart under scrutiny. There’s the fact that the Japanese names of the birds have no Spanish motif to them, and the dex entry can’t really be used as evidence since it’s from crystal and is talking about the Kantonian form. The dex entry does mean that Kantonian Moltres would also be found in a region based on the Philippine Islands or Australia though, so that’s neat.

Item ball is just a broken pokeball with an item inside. The “groundbreaking tech” is that pokemon actually shrink, it is canon in PLA at least. So the balls are literally to store them. Yes it doesn’t explain how they all get into a PC but again it could be just a shorthand for a porygon prime same second delivery service.

'Surely we will know more by the time this video comes out' that stings lol. Great vid

The first theory you covered made me think of Jynx as well! Also, I like your angle on the migratory Legendary Birds! It's in the same spirit as SV's supposed take on evolution. I get the impression they're going to revise their Evolution concept, de facto metamorphosis, hence the ancient and future forms, as well Convergent species. Should be fun to see what they came up with!

for the first part you could add gastly and voltorb

I’ve always subscribed to wobbuffet being maybe a pre-evo rework or related to girafarig in some way. What are the odds that two unrelated Pokémon would both have two black faces as tails in the SAME generation. Especially because gen 2 only had 100 new Pokémon. Wasn’t someone at GF able to see the similarities because myself as a 6 year old did 😅

The fact that in the wobbufett theory all of the adapted wobbufetts are two stage pokemon makes it all the more suspicious

I love these kinds of videos! They are so interesting! 😁

i always assumed the pokemon world had a capsule thing (like from dragon ball) going with its items.

If there is ever gonna be a Germany region and there will be regional Deino, Zweilous and Hydreigon then the theory about Legendary Birds might be true

mimikyu colud be an especially mutated form of pokeblob, mutated enough to become a horror.

The black blob theory is actually really good!! Also, I love the addition of Unown to this theory!

What if the “Black Blobs” are actually just the unknown and these Pokémon are close evolutionary relatives to the unknown?

*Spider Sense tingling* >New HoopsandHipHop video 6 minutes ago

Another theories episode Let's goo!!!

Trainers fit so much stuff in their bags like with theory and one box that turns it all into code like with pokemon boxes

Gastly is when the blob dies.

To add onto the wyanot theory what if they are just unknown that became something like shellder tangela seeing as they have hidden power

I can back up the “secret Pokéball” theory with some very critical evidence: PCs in the earlier Pokémon games. You could store items in them. The PCs could take the digitized data of a Pokémon and store it until later… but you can also store items in them in certain games. And you could put an infinite amount of items in there, therefore they aren’t being kept in a little stash hiding under the PC. They are being digitized too, like Pokémon.

I think that if we got some Urshifu new forms it would be cool. One could be based on the Roman Empire ( Fighting/Steel) and the other could be based on the rock pillars in England (Fighting/Rock.)

*Puts too many items in pokeball. Creates black hole. World ends.*

okay but that birds theory is actually perfect!

13:59 yeah, now we just need Bulma to prove it with her CC Corp Capsule storage.

The item ball also explains why you sometimes need items like the coin case and tm case. If you put each coin in a poke ball it would take up way more space.

Bro your add was so good I subed hoooow

An addition to the black blob theory is the fact that Arceus's original design was a Black blob.

articuno, zapdos, and moltres are only named with references to spanish numbers in the english translation. There's no connection in the original japanese

Due to the matter of how they tend to hint at the next gen, it has been weird to me that legendary pokemon gain regional forms, but if these 3 were a hint to the next generations of Spain, it actually makes perfect sense as well, the galatians birds have been a hint all this time

My friend came up with the terrible theory that there’s a secret underground organization that works for arceus that puts eggs in the daycare for your Pokémon because Pokémon is a kid-friendly video game. Neither of us believes it, but it’s fun to think about.

Maybe this “black blob” is a parasite and attaches itself to: grass, water, and a punching bag, while also possibly attaching itself to a giraffe thus becoming Girafarig?

First rule of the Item Ball: We don’t talk about the Item Ball. Second rule of the Item Ball: We don’t talk about the Item Ball!

To be fair, they're often described as a folding bike and a collapsible fishing rod

13:30 I love the pokeball idea and ill definitely use it as my own personal headcannon, but in PLA they actually made it cannon that all pokemon have the ability to shrink to go inside of pokeballs! :)

Why can't the backpack be made with the same technology as a Pokéball? It would explain why houses are missing things like beds and bathrooms. The technology is everywhere.

Me: GO muddy Oppenent: a fishing rod? Me:WAIT WHAT

The Legendary Birds being from Paldea theory falls apart really quickly when you consider the fact Articuno's name in the japan is Freezer.

Then when the shelder bites the slowpoke, the blob invades the slowpoke's body as its most advanced type of puppet.

To add to the pokeball theory. Voltorb, foogus over world sprites and why they evolved to look like modern day pokeballs(even their shiny forms).

The first theory would probably have some merit if it weren’t for the fact that the tail on wynaut only has one eye, other than that the theory isn’t that bad.

The dex entry implies they were named articuno, zapdos, and moltres due to similarities with Kanto versions. I.e. regional fakes

Heheh... If you can fit a fridge in a pokéball by posessing it with Rotom, a Rotom-posessed bike makes sense too.

So the translators for Red and Green were like "Listen, I know these birds have completely separate japanese names... BUT - hear me out - what if we connect them with a theme? Here, we'll adapt the elemental names they have in the original and slap the spanish words for one, two and three at the end. You know, in case they make a region based on Spain in around 25 years."

Item balls would explain how in the anime they'll stop in the middle of a forrest for lunch and a table will appear out of nowhere.

OooOo, nice work as usual 😊

I always thought that’s how it work in the games on the game boy and Ds because when you would go to get on your bike the animation almost seemed like it came out of a pokeball

Can Attest to Buyee being pretty nice! I managed to win a bid for the limited edition Pokémon Black Japanese Nintendo DS with Japanese carts of Platinum, Heartgold and Black versions, altogether for less than $110! All still had save files with Pokémon I could salvage to complete future dexes, including long gone distribution events. Black even had some Pokémon from the Dream World mechanic still in the Entralink! I implore any number of people to give a shot at Buyee, if only because the Japanese Pokémon carts would allow the player to Masuda Method in any game Gen 4 onward by getting Pokémon of a different language!

To add to the bird trio theory, scarlet and violet are based of off past and future, zapdos looks more bulky, kinda looks like he’d be from the stoneage, moltres is a dark type, could be the dark ages, while articuno has its visor and psychic type, very futuristic

As a Canadian I did not know that about Canadian geese and I'm glad I do

In the original anime; I believe it was ash who accidentally caught a rice ball snack instead of a Pokemon with the same capture animation. So yes, you can store items in pokeballs lol

The problem with the item ball theory is that legends arceus actually confirms that shrinking into a tiny size is actually an inherent pokemon ability, not something that a poke ball does itself.

alright that bird trio theory just changed my whole life

To me, the Galar bird dex entries are saying that their names comes from superficial similarities to the Kanto birds, not that those traits are the original origin of the names. And Pokemon themselves are the reason Pokeballs work, they once put a Primape into a glasses case

13:53 Ahh Yes Master Balling a Mankey

The reason pokemon fit into pokeballs is bc pokemon have the ability to change sizes. Like they said in PLA and you can see in SV. The items would have to also have the ability to shrink if they were in balls bc the ball is not what gives the ability to shrink. They are just the catalyst for the shrinking that the mon can already do. Don't know if items would have the size change deposition to them. However if the companies that make the items (and balls) they could make the items with them he ability to shrink I guess. Doesn't explain the bike, 3 fishing rods and any other large item bc they aren't all made by the company who makes the pokeballs. Unless there was some sort of standard technology forced into every consumer item to allow for size change

I like to think in my head that Red completes the Pokédex before the playable character does in every game and only Professor Oak knows. They let the Pokémon Professor of that region get the glory. We know Red’s got the same obsession with Pokémon as Professor Oak and has the same dream of recording the detailed information of every single species of Pokémon there is. Legendaries are all open too, because of Ultra Wormholes. So only single mythicals are out of his reach.

For the black blob….it would be nice if they came up with a pokemon that can evolve into them depending on different methods

Mimmykyu is another Pokémon that conceals it’s true form specifically because it’s stated people can’t comprehend it.

So about that blob: it has eyes and is completely black, and in the 1997 Gold demo there was a Pokémon called Gemini, which were kinda two ghosts or so, completely black and looked like floating orbs, they could maybe be that Pokémon. And Girafarig has also that blob with a big grin as his tail. I'd really like it if Gemini would have become an official Pokémon, so we could evolve it with evolution stones to Tangela, Shellder and so on, or if it would have been like Castform, so it adapts the type and becomes the respective Pokémon depending on the area around it.

About the item balls, how your bag doesn’t fill with item balls, is that you put item balls in item balls and then put those in more item balls.

Your Golarian Bird Theory is very convincing, be interesting to see if they're in Violet and Scarlett

The pokeball theory about being special kinda reminded me of dbz where they have the capsules to store houses and buildings

Black blob Pokémon as a ghost is ghastly!

Crazier theory: Wynaut’s tail is an Unown, and when it evolves, it fuses with another one.

Hoops finally got a new sponsor

Theory 3: kind of like the capsules of Capsule Corp. from the Dragon Ball franchise

Hoops, you gonna migrate to Canada? I’ll gladly show you around lol

* Casually throws a stone across all of France *

I think the black blob was a common ancestor for all the aforementioned Pokémon.

A lot of interesting theories, but that black blob Pokémon one got me thinking on a few things. 1) Another Pokémon that fits into this category might be Mimiku, given that we never see its real form besides shadowy dark limbs, and it is trying to imitate a(n arguably) more loved Pokémon. Another possibility is a symbiotic relationship with whatever became Girafarig given it's two headed nature, which leads to... 2) If Shelder and Cloyster are it, then it fusing with Slowpoke is another example of a symbiotic fusion. 3) Also, it adapts to the world around it to hide and can become various types... actually makes me again think of the Mewtwo Experiments, given the theory that Ditto were born from that, though maybe instead of being like... experiments that were just released/escaped, they are decedents that are still mostly related to Mew, given they are said to be the first Pokémon. It makes sense on the idea of them having a lesser/more permanent/specialized version of Transform. Dumb thoughts yes, but its what I thought of.

Ok, what if it isnt a tail, but a tapeworm, and wynaut hasn't realised it yet, but when i grows up it sees it and thats why it doesnt look happy anymore.

I have a theory that all the dark blob pokemon (shelder, tangla, snorut, etc), voltorb, and wobbufett are all either dead pokemon or people. When something dies, it turns into a gastly. Some gastly go and haunt the places they are buried (lavender town tower), but some go and posses/inhabit certain objects. If said gastly was a human, it will haunt its burial place. If that place is destroyed/they were never given a proper funeral, they turn into Yamask, holding onto the memory of their face in a mask as the last thing remaining of their past selves once they are forgotten. If the Gastly was a pokemon, it will go and find something that reminds them of where they used to live (A shell in the sea, or a tangle of vines). If they had a trainer, they posses a pokeball turning into voltorb. Snorunt is made if something dies of cold or on a snowy mountain.
