Lady gaga ostrich 🤣

I'm playing the indigo disk dlc, and they're everywhere in the grassy areas.

I mean it’s still based on a true fact. In places where wolves were hunted to near-extinction since they were seen as a threat to farms, deer began overpopulating and becoming an _actual_ threat to farmland.

I was thinking that too, west shellos is evolving less and less while east shellos are evolving more and more which causes less west gastrodon and more east gastrodon

Wouldn't it be crazy if, in a future game, we got a new evolution/form for West Shellos, because it no longer needs to evolve into West Gastrodon? And vice versa, a new evolution/form for East Gastrodon, because all of the East Shellos evolved due to the climate?

Same idea here..!

There was also that bit in the west gastrodon entry about "shallow" water. Maybe east gastrodon prefer deeper water? So while climate change drive rising sea temperature favor west shellos, climate change driven sea level rise favors east gastrodon?

That's what I thought too. The number of shellos born from the two forms would be around the same, it's just that in the past west shellos were forced to evolve more often while in the present it's the east she'll os that are forced to evolve.

That’s exactly what I was thinking!

Maybe the pink Gastrodon species are getting more eggs, but dying quickly after that, and the blue ones just evolving faster

It could also be the case that the pink ones often die before being able to become Gastrodons, whereas the blue ones hatch and grow up in areas that are hidden from humans then come out of hiding once they become Gastrodons.

@@matthewwatson5029 this could be the case because the gastrodons are said to appear near shallow waters and it could be because of the global warming as it is possible tue eastern ones live in deep water as the water along the surface is always a lot warmer then the deeper water so it could be that the water levels have risen since we see very little shallow water in the ocean, more then likely the western are going up in water in the warm upper water while when it evolves it is to big to feed from the shallow waters anymore as the shallow water has decreased

Mike, theres a dish made with the swiftlets nest, thats a bird that makes their nest with their saliva which solidify ... So that might be wattrels deal

I can imagine in the pokemon world since they are electric type, "ahh not enough sleep, welp gonna boil me some wattrel nest for that five hr energy" lol

Yeah exactly 💯

Good Headcanon

@@MasterIsabelle good too know im not alone

However, in the game, is there really more Shellos and Gastrodon of one species tho?

It still might be. Paldea's Gumshoos and Yungoos entries do not mention it as being from another region.

Its name is a play on king but also on kin gambit, in that it recklessly gambits its kin away to get stronger with its ability supreme overlord

I thought female Bisharp evolved into Queen Gambit.

@@ZaidanDarmasakti I hope it does in future games

Kingambit's personality is just a horribly disappointing downgrade from the cruel but cunning Bisharp though. Now it's just a tactically incompetent brute.

I was hoping someone else would mention this, thank you!

Also it's signature move uses the bird

Oh I thought it was because there are birds that hang out with crocs or alligator and the birds usually clean their teeth when the have their mouth open. They don't get eaten they work together as partners.

Came here to say the same thing.

I am drinking it while watching this

I’ve had the opportunity to have birds nest soup. It was in a restaurant’s basement dining room in the middle of Philadelphia’s China town. One of about 20 courses, part of a dinner for my friend’s father’s funeral. Flavor was unexplainable, milky, umami, and yet somehow a little fishy; also a gelatinous porridge texture.

Yeah, Mikey should go to Asia one day, just any country

Or the bird it self

Yes the soup is made by using the swiftlet birds nest. Wattrel also resembles the bird in its apperance.

Google Asia birds nest drink

Wow.

Bizarre

And the nest is made of the bird special saliva

Yeah i search for this comment hehe

It's so cool! so much thought was put into his design, he's definitely my favorite Paldea starter by far

It could be a reference to psychopomps as well. Bird like creatures that carry souls to the other side.

Yes it does have that animation, whenever it happens in the wild, it is a test of trust between the two, as the bird puts it’s life into the crocodile’s hands (or jaw). The crocodile does not bite, and instead patiently waits for the bird to finish what it is doing, a truly beautiful interaction in the wild

You beat me to it.

It turns out this doesn't actually happen and is a myth

Cetoddle is like a dog/cat: "Open door I want to go outside" *opens door* *hey go outside then come back in instantly* *closes door* "Open door I want to go outside" FUUUU

I was thinking that the west one has a lot more competition so fewer are able to evolve as resources become spread thin while the east ones have more than enough to thrive. At least for now.

Honestly it could be both. Because it's no longer in danger of going extinct it no longer fights to stay alive and thus doesn't need to evolve fast HOWEVER because so many are in an area they fight amongst themselves where the weakest perish to allow the strongest to survive. Basically they're stuck between needing to stay strong enough to fight each other but not need to get much stronger to require an evolution.

I indeed don't think it's a mistake. I think that, at the very least, the differences cause 1 species to evolve more (resulting in more Gastrodon), and the other to evolve less (resulting in more Shellos). Maybe gastrodon has a bigger tolerance for temperature shifts than Shellos, which would normally cause Shellos to evolve if their waters get too warm/cold (maybe it's a seasonal thing, where they would normally evolve in summer/winter, when the water temperature changes too much and make it unbearable for Shellos).

I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING

Glad someone mentioned this, because it's what I was thinking

I just thought shellos migrated when they evolved.

I just commented something similar to this but finding your comment just after makes mine seem stupid 😅

I was literally on my way to comment this. And yeah, it makes perfect sense. With a harsher environment comes harsher survival conditions, and vice versa.

My theory was that since the dex said That West Gastrodon hunt in shallow waters, They become more rare due to rising tide, with perhaps the opposite happening for the East Gastrodon

You should give Sun/Moon a go. It's a nice Pokemon adventure

Retaliate fits into this too. It's usually a more more associated with other pokemon, I think, but it fits well with the reference to the strategy, at least in my opinion.

Makes sense as pawniard and bisharp's names come from chess pieces.

⁠​⁠@@Twinklethefox9022yeah Pawniard is the pawn and Bisharp is the bishop

And the rookidee line covers some other pieces, rookidee is the rook, and corviknight is the knight

So is Nidoqueen the last peice or is that another pokemon?

Which is funny since Kingambit is meant to be the last Pokémon you use

Thank you. Why don’t people understand the reference of the final evolution.

@@markcleveland5162 some just dont know about it

The second one is what I thought!

Call an ambulance but not for me

@@laboa6860 i wonder

UNDERTALE and Doom.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, one is just evolving more than the other, therefore there’s less of the base form in the wild

!!!!! yes!!!!! this is what i was thinking!!!!!!!!

Also since there are more west, predators are hunting them. So more east can survive until its a gastrodon and defend it self

Yeah my way of thinking too,wanted to comment this,but i am glad i found this one before i did 😂😂

I read pest and I just thought of "Rotom, the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse "😂

​@@germany8339 pestilence

I think it's more other washing machines aren't as comfy, and so rotom doesn't want to go in there

But then why do we have Rotom Phones where Rotoms love to interact with the owners of those phones? Not to mention the Alola Pokédex. If Rotom was that much of a nuisance, why would them be overall so cheerful in those aforementioned appliances?

@@dreamfirefight9456 Because the fancy apps in the phones keep them busy. If you have a child, you know KZfaq and a game on the phone can help to keep them quiet for a bit.

I was thining of the same thing that more east shellos are evolving yet less west shellos dont have as much of a reson to evolve.

I just made a post for a very similar theory and scrolled down and saw yours

i also suggrest is that since there defending themselves too much they have less time to breed

I was literally thinking the same thing

I think it because more east gastrodon has to move to surtin areas that are colder but west is the opposite because it has more room in the world.

So not having a strategy Is the strategy.

@@kingteddieP4 or, it’s like the Joker. Have a plan that is incredibly well thought out, but, let people think that you don’t have a plan do you can easily surprise them

At what point in the past is this? Because I remember hearing that blue used to be a girl's color because blue fabric was extremely cheap and misogyny stuff. I could've fully made that up I don't remember where or when I heard that tbh

I thought it was because the east form shellos were evolving more than the west form

for me i fell like there is more of the pink one. so they dont need to evolve to survive and become stronger while blue one have to or they will die

@@poketrenerboberowy8130 This is what I was thinking too

idk why but my idiotic mind went maybe the west shellos went to the east and got cold, evolved into the east gastrodon XD

Deer are a menace to farmers worldwide, not just Japan. Take it from a Montanan.

And the flowers sapping their nutrients referencing how deers can get calcium deficiency or straight-out Osteosporosis when their antlers start to grow :D

I mean what are you gonna do? Trainers are canonically not very powerful, the police will not arrive in time, and the existence/function of rangers is confusing.

​@@gerald2508Things are not that whacky. Pokemon abilities seem to rub off on their trainers. Water trainers swim better, fighting trainers seem to get stronger and psychic trainers get minor ESP. Humans still have firearms, the local gym leader seems to double as a sheriff and you can charm them with hollowed fruit.

@@iBloodxHunter This is very interesting and makes me wish for more expansive looks into the pokémon-world. While the anime is nice, it lacks deep world-building. what I think would be really great is spinoff-games where you play as the other roles I have mentioned. Florges is a high-middle tier pokémon; you would need a gym-leader/high-tier trainer, 2 to 3 police officers, or a ranger (maybe a scientist); none of which are in high-supply. I did not consider the abilities that trainers receive from their pokémon (I find this very interesting) but the benefits gained seem unlikely to help; perhaps resistance to fairy-energy could delay death but other abilities seem unhelpful. Items are likely very effective but would they be produced in a large enough supply? Whether or not firearms can harm any given pokémon is pretty much a coin-flip.

@@gerald2508 I'd say firearms are less a coinflip and would function fairly the same. A bullet would tear through a Vitreebel or a Malamar but a defense curl/rollout Sandslash would probably deflect it, a charging Tyrunt would be like shooting a boar (skull is too thick, mostly bounces off or just gets caught until you get something bigger) or said Malamar if it's quick enough, can throw up psychic walls like Neo from the Matrix or jedi to just block them. Most people like to ignore this since Nintendo kinda did too but the lore WAS expanded upon and the dex entries remain consistent with it but the games and anime don't. The manga and creator's notes state Pokemon is...... well not dark, but it's not fluffy or bright either. Pokemon are like yokai, the spirits manifested into wild animals and living objects. They just, appear based on people's understanding of concepts. Why do you capture their essence in fruit? Well because they're elementals, not regular animals. There's regular animals, there's a squirrel off screen right over there. Lesser villains have white cats, Giovanni has a Persian, yadayada you get my drift. This is why the robot versions of pokemon make sense because in the cyberpunk future, people envision them as a Gundam Wing. So long and rambling explaination made short, a helicopter can beat a dragon and the dex entries are to be taken as about 75% correct. No pokemon has 3k IQ yes a trainer is an OHKO unless they absorb that sweet defense boost. Also pokeballs charm their captures. I use that in ye olde meaning to magically compel something to like you, some are obviously too powerful for this effect like gyarados(or most dragons, ghost and dark types) and it has to actually like you or trade mons, the charm transfers to you through the machine but it's diminished. Also side note, play pokemon dnd it's incredibly fun. A tip: players use dnd ruleset and pokemon use stat cards reflecting a mix of the original game and dnd. The players DO NOT roll initiative, they take their turns DURING the turns of any of their pokemon(which do roll initiative). This cleans up initiative order(speeds up playtime) in large battles and actually gives players more strategic options. Do limit them to 2 pokemin in battle because you'll be juggling like 8 mons not even counting swarms or boss battles. An example of a stat card would be: Name LV() Ability: Move 1 Move 2 Move 3 Move 4 Str 8 Move. 10 Dex.8 Fly. 5 Con.8 Swim. 2 Int. 8 Climb. 2 Wis 8 Cha 8 The game writes itself at that point 😁

@@gerald2508 One thing you're right about too, is these things are not in high supply. You even see in the anime humanity is scattered and doesn't have too many reliable travel networks. There's obviously planes, trains and automobiles but there's no consistent infrastructure that stretches across whole countries. Which probably has to do with why the gym challenge started in the first place. Also we know Kanto was in a war some 20 years ago but not who, why or where.(I choose Hoenen because it's easy that way.) One thing to note about military is ANY campaign would be like Vietnam for the US except for everyone involved. No matter where you went, you would have to be traveling on foot through incredibly untamed land with dangerous creatures at some point and they would undoubtably be attacking wantonly anybody they see.

Me too, she is very cute and hilarious
