First video of 2021! And what an honor it is to have it sponsored by the Pokémon Model Glasses. I always love promoting official stuff!

Fun Fact that you didn't mention! The "eye" of a Roggenrola isn't actually an eye! It's an extremely sensitive ear!

"So EYES. They exist." Sounds like a butchered pickup line lol

Fun Fact: according to SM/USUM, Diglett was created after one of the developers saw a drawing he made in one of his old elementary school notebooks. So it was literally designed by a child

“except nah, Kecleon is lame.” Mystery dungeon fans: *So you have chosen, death*

Is anyone a bit perturbed that while Lockstin doesn’t have a Decidueye, he does have a Rowlet plush? And he didn’t use it instead?

Theory: Leon has partial blindness due to cataracts, which is why his pupils are fuzzy like that *and* why he can get lost going from A to B when the path is a straight line.

As someone who didn't know he was colorblind until his adulthood years, I'm curious as to which Pokémon are colorblind.

Correction on the misconception of a misconception: There are large bats and small bats. Small bats tend to have exceptionally poor eyesight, and rely on echolocation to hunt bugs. They also tend to be nocturnal. Large bats tend to diurnal, and subsist off of eating fruits. They have relatively good eye sight, and almost no echolocation.

people without eyes are going to be very upset when they see this

I was so confused but then I realized this is basically another entry in "Why Pokemon designers deserve more praise"

Lockstin: I don't have a Decidueye plush while showing Hoothoot. Rowlet in the back: Am I a joke to you?

Lockstin: on to owls Ad: “every day starts in the dark”

"I have eyes, you know. They're right under my EYEBROWS!!!" - Noctowl

I know Lock’s eyes exist, but I can’t believe how gorgeous they are.

I can't believe he didn't talk about the COMPOUND Eyes ability.

At this point, Lockstin just uses Pokemon as an excuse to talk about whatever he wants.

It’s obvious why they have eyes, it’s so that they can see where the subscriber button is. Just like how you should also press that button

I love the fact that Zubat, which has no visible eyes, learns Mean Look. How does it look at anything?

Correction. Humans can see ultra violet light without our eye lense which filters out ultra violet light. I had one replaced and now can see some ultra violet light. (Sky looks purple ish at dawn and dusk to me.)

"Look! Look with your special eyes." "My brand!"

I swear Lockstin comes up with video ideas based on sponsorship deals.

One of the many, MANY reasons why I love the UBs so much is how they handle eyes. Most don’t even have them at all, and if they do (like Blacephalon or Stakataka), they do really weird things with them. I may just be biased as a Zubat lover, but Pokémon without obvious eyes always pique my interest.

Lockstin: eyes are cool and LOOK at mine!!! People with no eyes: am I a joke to you

When the spider's popped up I just chucked my phone across the room braking the screen I'm tipping this on My computer I just need to share this story lmao😂😂😂😂

Fun fact: Spinda’s eyes are what made me fall in love with it. Still my favourite Pokémon to this day

"I've got special eyes."

Sableye is so weird. Yet also nicely made. I think seeing confirmation they're partly musteline (the sable isn't just their color, they're sables like Mienfoo/Mienshao are ermine) made me break down and put a mega-evolving one in my Alpha Sapphire B-Squad (which was a good call, mega-evolution plus dazzling gleam clears out raids efficiently). Another good waifumon for the daring.

A horror movie for the Spongebob franchise: The Clams Have Eyes

"Why Pokemon Have Crazy Eyes" Zubat : "Am I a joke to you?"

11:49 That child impression almost makes me wanna Crack up

3:15 The larger, fruit-eating species of bat rely on vision and are diurnal. The smaller, bug-eating or blood-drinking species of bay that actually have echolocation are nocturnal and have excellent hearing at some minor cost to sight, but I imagine their eyesight isn’t that bad. There’s a difference between megabats and microbats, but neither are blind.

I’d honestly love a sequel to this!!

"I don't have a Decidueye plush"-As Rowlett stares at me from the background

Hi, just wanted to say the sponsor was soooo fitting, it didn't feel like add at all, very natural! Great video in total!

I would love a part 2 of going into pokémon, like Zubat, who's eye's are inaccurate. I have a bone to pick myself with the use of new world vultures in glara when an old world vulture with awesome eye sight would be so cool!

Eyes are so interesting. I have this thing where my right eye has an excess of rods and fewer cones (I believe that's right) and it causes my right eye to have exceptional night vision. But the downside is during the day, I usually have to keep it closed until it adjusts. Before it adjusts though, it's partially colorblind. I don't see green with it until my eye adapts and my left eye and brain make up the balance. Then things look normal and I can open it without extreme pain from the light.

I don't know why "SMELLS LIKE DIRT" bit is so funny

Imagine closing your eyes so hard you just lose them

12:16 "Smells like DIRT!"

“Don’t lie to me and say you don’t have eyes.” The 0.003% of earth’s population that are born with no eyes: Bet

Missed out on a great pun with that title, the misspelling of ridiculous immediately reminded me of the Regis, I'd say their eyes are pretty REGICULOUS

Sableye: I have "SPECIAL EYES". Me: Look, with your special eyes! *Holds up blue quartz* Sableye: MY BRAND!

This needs a part 2, this is super interesting

Eyes are an illusion, a mere fragment of our imaginations, you can’t SEE stuff, what does that even mean? Nah, echolocation gang for life-Zubat

12:16 *[BIG SNIFF]* "SMELLS LIKE DIRT!"

MORE I NEEED MORE! I honestly love these parts of the series taking about anatomy & biomechanics of Pokémon. Because besides being a dinosaur nerd I love studying those preciously mentioned aspects, of life ado ecology another one.

Not going to lie, I was really interested in those glasses. Then I was reminded how obscenely expensive pokemon Merch and glasses are. You put the two together and ouch.

Don't stop! You're gonna do a pt 2 right? A video on the nose and ears? You're gonna do another one right? RIGHT?

Outro: "... or third eyes" Solgaleo and Lunala have entered the chat.

Optician here! The simplest distinction between rods and cones is: Cones purely perceive color, while rods purely perceive contrast/value (black and white vision). The way colors work, is that an object that is hit by light, reflects some of it, while a large part of the light is absorbed. The wavelength of the light that gets reflected discerns which color the object appears as to us. i.e. a red object is red to us, because it reflects only red light while it absorbs all the other colors of light. During the daytime, where there's plenty of light from the sun, our eyes rely mostly on the cones because there's so much light for those to work with. Meanwhile at night, when there is very little light that could be reflected as color by an object, everything seems rather washed out and dull. There simply IS no 'colored' light for the cones in our eyes to see. Alas, the rods take over and you see mostly contrast instead. And here's the details: Now, the actual reason why we don't see as clearly at night isn't just that! The way cones and rods are distributed in our eyes is. We have a little spot in our eyes on our retinas called the 'macula'. This little spot is in the back of our eyes, in a direct line behind the lens, so that when we look at something, this is the spot where the clearest image is projected. To make use of all the light that gets focused there, this spot is also entirely made up of cones. Outside of the makula, there's a mix of cones and rods, with gradually less cones and more rods the further you move away from the makula along your retina. This is perfect for daytime vision - humans are naturally diurnal after all - and lets us see tiniest details in objects. This is also exactly why humans have poor nighttime vision. There are no cells there in that spot, that could process the poor light we have at night. Instead, we have to rely more on our peripheral vision at night, while that spot of our absolute best vision is almost entirely useless. The further away from the makula, the light projected into your eye by your lens is also less focused, which is why your vision at night will automatically be more blurry the darker it is! Okay, now I am done getting excited about eyes and vision again xD

My favourite part of your work is how you're able to talk about a plethora of different topics by using pokemon as a catalyst. It's a rather clever move.

“Kecleon’s lame” Am I the only one who’s favourite normal type is Kecleon?

You should do a video showing the design inspiration for al g max or mega Pokémon

speaking of eyes, the halo light (?) reflecting off of his glasses is trippy as hell, i kept thinking it was a second set of eyes

“It’s thicc booty blocks it’s sight”lol. Don’t know why that got me 😂

I had an existential crisis with that intro.

🤣 Chiton is actually pronounced as “chi” = “kai” “ton” = “tonne”

Just so you know, the overall quality of your videos and general structure has really improved. Great work!

Note: Microbats are nocturnal echolocators. _Megabats_ are diurnal, mostly visual hunters. (You know, the ones that don't eat fruit.) Thus, Zubat getting better vision as it grows larger does make sense.

14:34 Gigalith does NOT have eyes. According to the pokedex, those are ears.

"your eyes are a camera with a resolution of a million or something" LIES. MY EYES ARE 240P!!!

According to the Pokedex Deino is also totally without eyes. And possibly Zwelious. TVTropes speculated that's why Hydregion is seen as this crazed force of destruction. It's used to just hearing/tremorsensing it's way through life and now all the sudden it's flying and has this whole new "sight" thing going. And because this is all new to it, it thinks anything it sees moving is an enemy trying to attack it. Presumably it calms down from all the crazy after a while though, because quite a few trainers have them in the show.

In the outro you said that there were more eyes you'd like to cover. I would be very pleased with a second eyepisode like this one, and think many others of your subscribers would be as well!

Oh my god- I literally need new glasses! The frames are straight up broken. Been broken for months! Couldn’t get new one til the new year. Is this the universe telling me something?

"So eyes, they exist... Right?" Sounds like a VSauce Intro

I feel like this can be a seriesssssss Fun fact, cephlapods have eyes that evolved for a far different reason than us humans and other creatures on earth, making their eyes very unique. It also explains their weird eye shapes.

12:17 Me when I pass out in the middle of the prairie from dehydration

7:18 lockstin has never played mystery dungeon confirmed

Pokes sableyes’s eye: these are so weird meanwhile a glowing halo surrounds lockstins unblinking face

"Or which pokemon are likely colorblind" PLEASE make this a video! I'm colorblind and would love to know what pokemon I relate to most!

regarding the eyes of bats it also depends on the kind of bat, you can't compare the average bat to the flying fox since are diurnal and vampire bats for example are more nocturnal. if I am not mistaken flying foxes don't even have echolocation

9:54 you could have used that giant rowlet plushie

"Imagine seeing your butt and nose at the same time," Contortionists: uh huh, ok

This has probably already been said, but thank you for making sponsored content interesting. There are so many content creators who don't even try yet you use sponsors as a form of inspiration often. Keep being great :)

Fun fact: hammer head sharks can actually see in every direction at the same time to, but thats because of the headshape, not the eyes. Fun fact 2: hoothoots eyes Are decined after A clock.

12:17 Alright, somebody's gotta make that a meme

Cradily: My eyes look like teeth.

13:42 Except the only thing Superman can't see through is lead (which coincidentally is the kryptonite of Daxamites from Krypton's sister planet, Daxam apparently).

Lockstin:*wiggles zubat around* Me:*busy laughing at the accurate depiction of zubat flying. Especially seeing zubat's overworld sprite "flying"*

You going "smells like DIRT!" threw me off so hard

I feel like you wore glasses as a kid to more accentuate your “nerdiness”. I say that because I did that too lmao

“I don’t have a Decidueye plush” You could have used that Rowlet, it’s closer then Hoothoot

Loved the cones and Rods segment! Nearly touched on all the irlen demonstrations I give to people

Aren’t Gigalth’s.. things sound receptors, not eyes? Also, 13:24 *MEAT VISION*

When you first meet someone: Them: hi, nice to me- You: %80 percent of myself is judging you, and so far, I don't like you

I would love to see a continue of these eye facts! This was really interesting!

Loved the video, but one slight misconception with rods and cones. Cones are for colored light, rods are for reduced light, or low light. Cones do very little with high intensity light

"That why the airports are getting in trouble, They're lookin' at Weiners while at work!" *Excuse me Wat*

Can’t wait for Pokémon with RIDICULOUS legs! And Pokémon with RIDICULOUS ARMS maybe even Pokémon with RIDICULOUS i dunno teeth? Just a series idea😶

I appreciate the slight resurgence of the "everything is pokemon" phenomenon from the 90s-2000s I want those pokemon glasses

There are 2 types of bats, megabats and microbats. Megabats, like the flying fox, are bigger and use mostly there eyes and are more active at day, they also cant use echolocation. Microbats, like vampire bats, are smaller and almost blind and active at night, and use echolocation primarily.

9:48 You blew it. You could've called it *DECIDUEYESIGHT* and you missed the opportunitree. (No offense)

Hey, that makes me wonder about Sableye's eyes. How does Sableye's original eyes would look like?🤔

Lockstin, I absolutely LOVE your content and everything you make. Since the day I met your channel (abt 2 years ago), I've been STUNNED by hiw good your content is. Keep doing an amazing job as always!

The lights reflecting in your glasses are wigging me out man!! I keep watching the lights move X'D

6:25 poor Vivillon, nobody can pronounce your name correctly...

"Your contact lenses just arrived." 1-800 contacts? They can't have my brand. 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴 "Look, look with your special eyes." 𝗠𝗮𝗵 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱!

I was reminded of Xatu’s chest eyes in a recently acquired Pokédex entry in BD: one of them constantly sees the past, while the other one sees the future.

I like these videos. They're basicly online classes, but with Pokemon as examples to make it more fun.
