Alternate title, Grown man body shames pokemon for 11 minutes 😹

Given the history with the inconsistencies with body types, I’m almost convinced some that they just go to a random middle manager and give them 5 minutes to give all the new Pokémon body types. Then, they’re given like one picture per Pokémon and have to give their best guess from that.

I’d put the wheeled mons (Varoom, Revavroom, Carkol, and any others if I missed them) into the “head with base” category myself. Just feels the one that’s generic enough to fit them.

Miraidon on his way to show us the MEANEST hand stand to get into the bipedal group

In good ole gen 1 we only had 11 body types. You were either a plant, a monster, a seal, an insect, a bird, a bull, a serpent, a fairy, an orb, a snail, or Pikachu. And we liked it that way!

Do the same thing for the color option in the Poke Dex

Any mistakes in the Pokédex can be chalked up to Cara Liss getting her hands on it: she made up the entries for the Galar Fossil Pokémon, after all, when they never existed in the forms you get them.

The Pokédex thinks Primeape has a tail and Lickilicky doesn't.

Don't forget, Dipplin is actually two worms, so that's why it's classified as having multiple bodies.

I think that ‘bipedal with a tail’ and ‘bipedal without a tail’ are meant to be ‘bipedal’ and ‘humanoid’. Not that it makes some of these errors any less strange

the body shapes are actually based on that rig used on the 3d model. instead of having tons of different 3d rigs they just make them fit into one they already have.

Wo-Chien being serpentine makes sense given that it's actually the tablets. Also Scream Tail does actually have a very small proper tail if you look at it from behind.

I wonder if to speed up the task of animating 1,000 pokemon, the body shapes are simply what determines a mon's generic animations.

MandJTV often mentions Sandygast when talking about this problem. It's apparently a serpent lol

I'm just now realizing that this intro song (which I know is from the games) also plays when Clemont introduces an invention in the XY anime, and now I'm dissapointed by the lack of explosions on the channel

i m not gonna lie i thought you were gonna say Miraidon was in the serpentine category and it made no sense but the fact that its just not in that category to begin with considering as you said its also called the Iron Serpent. It kinda threw me off there

Honestly I completely forgot the pokedex included body shapes, and maybe gamefreak did too with some of these choices 💀 Ah yes, my favorite bipedal Pokémon, the floating ball that is Musharna

I think the problem is that most Pokemon fit multiple categories and, instead of simply adding them under all the possible categories, they are pressured into selecting only one category.

I feel like some of the people doing the sorting think a tail only counts if it's integral to the shape of the creature, and some of them think any tail at all means it should go in the tail category. It's the Petronas towers all over again.

These Pkmn Body Shapes should just help trainers figure out which Pkmn can breed with whom.

6:14 You can use Roaming Form in battle, you can get it from GO and transfer it from there to Home/SV

You are right in the anime they call zeraora’s lightning bolt a tail

How is Pyukumuku a serpentine Pokemon? That especially doesn’t make sense

Scream Tail actually has a stubby tail, the hair is not its tail. I guess the tail is mentioned cause Jigglypuff doesnt have one at all.

That is odd I literally was just talking about this to my daughter last night.

Koraidon and Miraidon are both quadrupeds, but Koraidon stands up so its a biped while Miraidon just floats.

Celesteela maybe based on a princess & that could be the reason for categorising it as bipedal body shape even tho its actual design isn't shaped like that.

They should make the body shapes pokemon like unown

New video suggestions: Ehat each pokemon type is good at in terms of battle, designs, lore, etc.

This is just as ridiculous as the colors some pokemon are categorized as (for example, Salamence being categorized as blue makes perfect sense. You'd think Roaring Moon, which is a prehistoric version of Salamence, would have the same color category, right? NOPE! Roaring Moon for some reason is categorized as GREEN. Also shout out to every pokemon that's orange, because that color's not a category in the pokedex. So some are considered red, others are yellow, and some are even brown)

Pretty sure the wheels on Varoom and Revaroom are actually just rocks it picked up and not actually part of its body, so it wouldn't necessarily make Revaroom a quadruped.

Huh, how very interesting, I guess some sorting out is required, I guess, is this important to get right?

2 wyrms are inside diplin

With charizard, it seems relatively consistent that the two-winged category is only for pokémon whose forelimbs consist of wings. Reshiram, which has wings but no arms, is in it, but zekrom, which does have wings, but also has arms, is not. Same with salamence and dragonite, it seems if a pokémon has four limbs plus wings, the limbs take priority. This is different for the four-winged category, probably because it was made for mostly winged insectoid pokémon, which would generally have multiple limbs and wings, but it's much more inconsistent what is and isn't included in that category, with volbeat and illumise not being included in it, while kricketune is. Perhaps the fireflies are disqualified because they're in the humanoid breeding group, making them people with insect features instead of plain old insects? But that doesn't really excuse heracross's being put in the bipedal category, and if it's because its wings are often concealed under its elytra, that really doesn't explain ledyba and orbeetle being put in a winged category - the two-winged category, no less (I guess because elytra don't count as wings?), making them about the only members of that category that have distinct arms. Flygon is probably included in the 2-winged category despite its arms for the same reason ledian and orbeetle are, namely that it's in the bug breeding group and based on an insect, so it will inevitably have several limbs in addition to its wings. At least it pretty clearly only has 2 wings, and isn't a victim of elytra erasure as the beetles are. That brings us to buzzwole, which really doesn't have a shape category which suits it. Considering it has arms, it doesn't seem a good fit for quadrupedal, or two-winged, but it only has two wings, so four-winged is out too. Its erect body stance makes insectoid feel off too. I guess really, there is precedent for bug pokémon which only have two wings being included in the four-winged category (ribombee) and pokémon which stand on 4 legs and have a pair of arms being included in the insectoid body plan (kingler), but I guess this was overlooked. And as for dewpider, I can only guess that 3 limbs (which are the only ones it stands on, and I guess the ones it holds its bubble with don't count as arms, as they don't have any other use) have a precedent to be rounded down to 2, as that's what was done with chimecho. Not too sure that was a sensible call to begin with, but I guess it's at least semi-consistent.

Do the body shapes have official names?

Dipplin is made of two worms, the first its head and the second its tail. So his category is the right one

Dipplin has 2 applins in it

8;45 i think it might be the head that's pronounced

I do not know why Grunbull is a Fairy type because it is pink. It should be a normal type.

i mean.. this is the entire purpose. that pokemons are magical creatures and they can be anything and everything. if pokemons were just regular animals it would be boring

Bruh its 2024, u cant body shame pokemon, ull get cancelled

Bipedal pokemon NEED TO BLOODY STOP

first

I just don’t want Pokémon to have knees 🫠 that’s all I want lol. Idc if they’re bipedal
