Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced us to convergent Pokemon species, which differ from simple regional variants! But just how different are the two cools now? What is Tentacool based on? What is Toedscool based on? What is Tentacruel based on? What is Toedscruel based on? And how do they differ? What makes them each soo "cool" and unique? And why is Toedscool in Paldea? Hopefully, this video will explain!

One of my favorite things about Toedscool/Toedscruel and Tentacool/Tentacruel's typings is that Toeds's grass typing is strong against Tenta's water typing, Toeds's ground typing is strong against Tenta's poison typing, Tenta's water typing is good against Toeds's ground typing, and Tenta's poison typing is good against Toeds's grass typing.

Wiglet wasn’t that cool but the idea that Toedscool is basically just looking at the silhouette of Tentacool and saying “what if this tentacle like part was actually a leg?” It’s like that Oshawott/grass type with an acorn meme but real and I think that’s great and so creative

That was my exact first thought when I saw the leaks. It goes even further since the Mega Squids in TFIW had a symbiotic relationship with a sentient slime mold (i.e. a fungus).

I'm surprised you didn't mention the whole concept of octopus-martians. The octopus-like appearance of the martians from War of the Worlds was so influential in Japan that to this day, the stereotypical alien depiction over there is an octopus-like being. You can see it in countless Japanese media, the most prominent being the martians from Metal Slug, but also ones like the First Contact martian from Rhythm Heaven Megamix, Squirps from Super Paper Mario, etc.

Another reason on why Toedscruel was introduced in the "Spain" region, could be because in Catalonia we actually really love mushrooms. During autumn, it's very common to see people in the forest searching for shrooms. We have entire markets dedicated to selling mushrooms and, at one point, even had an entire TV series about searching for them called "Caçadors de bolets".

@deadshields8561 Жыл бұрын

I have to admit that when I saw a trainer with one of these, I was like "What am the world am I looking at here?" While its design was a bit strange I can now appreciate it a lot more thanks to this video. Also, I like the new format as well. ^_^ Every time my mom and I went to Myrtle beach when I was a kid, my mom would always tell me to watch for Portuguese man o' war. As they would wash up on the beach from time to time. When I was about 12, I was getting ready to go swimming, as the hotel we got was right by the beach. My mom of course told me to stay close to the store and to keep an eye for any washed up Portuguese man o' war. And if I saw one do not get close. I told her I would, got into my flip flops and made a mad dash towards the water. Only to stop dead in my tracks when I saw at least two of them. They were both a pretty purple color and as I much as I wanted to get closer look, I didn't want to get stung. So I waited until my mom came out to join me. After pointing them out, we went further down the beach and I finally got to swim. Still keeping an eye out, just in case.

so about the 80 tentacle thing: it makes sense that the artworks have way less tentacles, if you think about it from an srtist perspective. Especially in cartoons, things like hair or hands often gets simplified into bigger chunks. thats why many cartoon characters often have only 4 than 5 fingers, two fingers get combined. Of course they could have drawn 80 tentacles on the pokemon, but I think that would have made the design way to busy. Also if you look from far away, a cluster of small things can look like one large thing, in this example tentacles. Another thing can be seen in animations. Imagine you have to add a animation for 80 tentacles, thats a lot. So make fewer tentacles and your job is easier (and its also way less work for the computer)

When I looked up the new Pokémon for Scarlet and Violet, my first thought was: "Jeeeeesus there's a lot of dumb ideas in this one... "Mice and then you add more mice, Tentacool but it's a mushroom, flamingo-shaped flamingo..." But then they've grown on me and I frikkin love them, and the Toeds are two of my favourite Pokémon in years.

Hi, I'm here to explain the German names of these tentally cool Pokémon. Because I have nothing better to do really. So, starting with Tentacool, it's German name is Tentacha, which is really just the Word "Tentakel" (tentacle) with some creative libertys. Meanwhile, Tentacruel's named "Tentoxa". Again, from "Tentakel" but also from "toxisch" (toxic). Toedscool's name is "Tentagra", again from "Tentakel" and "agrarisch" (agrarian) which furthermore implies a connection to the ground. Lastly, the name of Toedscruel in German is "Tenterra" from "Tentakel" and "terra" the latin word for earth. What I think is interesting about these names is that in Englisch, Toedscool and Toedscruel took the second half from Tentacool and Tentacruel, while in German, they took the first halfs of their names. So, that's it, thanks for reasing this far. And if you read this, Lockstin, please make a video about German Pokémon names. That would be great, thanks.

As a portuguese person, I've been loving these Paldea related videos on the web, and about the whole are mushrooms included in dishes part, yep, many of our dishes use mushrooms a lot! Many dishes that are favored or liked back here (As I've noticed) have mushrooms on them or incorporate them into them, you can always find a lot of different canned and/or fresh mushrooms being sold and bought at stores as well. Oh and you'll find many different sorts of mushrooms growing on/around our houses in many places, mostly villages. Thanks for the cool vid, cheers from the Azores ^_^

Ive always considered Tentacool and Tentacruel as the Zubat and Golbat of the Sea respectively due to how frequent they are. Also absolutely love Toedscool and Toedscruel, especially their shiny variants. I've been wanting another Grass/Ground type since Torterra(my favorite starter).

I really loved this video and thought it was really interesting. I already loved toedscool and I love it even more now. In fact this video inspired me to shiny hunt one and I found one in less than an hour. I would love a video on the hisuian starters though

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokemon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that's not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won't mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression ever again.

24:42 Honestly I'm surprised Sega or Ian Flynn haven't made an aquatic Sonic look-alike (on a Sunday ridin' my bike, I notice, I notice) based on that. Closest was the crossover character Gigavolt Man-o-War from Mega Man X8 who appeared in Sonic Boom #10 as part of the Worlds Unite event.

It’s ground because there’s like a mycelia network under the soil in forests that acts as a sort of communication between the trees and other flora and their roots. I’m not explaining it right but it’s quite amazing. 7:12

I love mushrooms and jellyfish so both the Toedscool and Tentacool line are rad in my books. I hope we continue to get more Pokémon based on fungi and mushrooms, there's a lot of really bizarre and fascinating fungi in the world that could easily be adapted into cool mons, not to mention how visually interesting a lot of fungi are.

Now that you mention it, I'd now actually like to see a regional Paras without the mushrooms that can evolve into an actual adult cicada/parasitic wasp hybrid to invert who the parasite is, likely called 'Parasicada' or 'Parasicator' something like that.
