What if Game Freak put me in charge of creating designs for the new Kalosian starters in Pokemon Legends Z-A? Which Pokemon would I choose and why? How would they change to be even more fitting of Kalos? Here are three ideas with DEPTH!

Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out!

You could easily pull a modern Pokémon and add another attribute to make the move stand out from horn leech while keeping it rare in distribution. Lockstin suggests dual type with Steel, but I think the less messy idea would be to make the move always crit to evoke the Lance strike. Also, I don’t think it needs to absorb 75% of damage done.

17:22 he’s referring to ortolan bunting, cw: bird torture. the ortolan is an adorable songbird that’s very tiny, the ortolan is hidden in a cramped cage filled with an endless supply of food where they’re covered in darkness as to confuse their internal clock making them binge eat (keep in mind songbirds are very social, if they’re ever confined in such a space they will become depressed, this is akin to social confinement torture) after they begin to gain weight the bird is then drowned in burning liquor to slowly drown it until it dies, the ortolan will then be plucked, roasted and served. The diners put the napkin on their heads for three reasons 1 to take in the aroma of the food (not really but suuure) 2 the bird is served without being deboned, the diners will eat the beaks, bones and legs fully intact, most diners spit the beaks out because obviously. Thus they would want to cover their faces so other diners won’t have to see the disgusting display of people spitting bones out And 3 religious people do this to shield god from having to witness them eating in such a disgusting way especially considering how the dish they ate got in their table in the first place. Anyways if you can bring yourself to eat anything after reading this congratulations.

Also, the French were the ones to create the code of Chivelry in the 13th century, which we associate with knights today; it's named for their word for knight, "chevalier," and during the reign of Charlemagne they also made some of the more recognizable contributions to the King Arthur mythos. Lancelot was a French author King Arthur OC to extol the virtues of courtly love, which was quite popular among French writers at the time; the freaking Round Table comes from Charlemagne and his knights; yes, really, Charlemagne and his knights would gather around a big round table to convene with reports and discuss war strategies, and when I say his knights, I'm talking about the elite knights Charlemagne promoted to his inner circle.

Hollywood is not run by lizard people, it's run by Monkey Men who're gathering intelligence on the human race and make us more docile and empathetic to their shadowy takeover when we just softly agree to hand them the nuclear codes bc "haha, silly monke don't know computer" and then BAM, humans go extinct.

Scrying Bubbles triggering EACH TURN is a bit of a RNG nightmare. I think working like Intimidate, where you get just the *one for free as you appear*, will be just enough to give you the vibe you want without making it functionally invulnerable on a coin flip. Other possibilities would be perhaps a passive like "When this pokemon is on the field, the opponent's priority moves have their priority decreased by 1." You can't "sneak up" on this pokemon. You can't be a slow pokemon with a sneaky Mach Punch or Aqua Jet. They are always one-step-ahead.

Or maybe just make it another variant of dazzling/armor tail/queenly majesty. Thematically it still make sense cuz your aware of fast attacks, also id imagine kalosian inteleon being fast alrdy so theres no reason for it to have an evasion boost every turn, tho this idea might be boring to some cuz again we alrdy have similar abilities😅

@starsilverinfinity Ай бұрын

You didnt have to go so hard for Intelion, I love it already but this this does put a smile on my face. . . Also considering the soul bubble concept I imagine it would be fitting if it also bubbled the souls of victims so it can pull information out of them, or perhaps to turn into shadowy puppets to further epand its spy web with later. I could Imagine it surprising a Pokemon, bubbling their soul and hiding it up their sleeve then basically sending the newly made spy back into the population. I also wonder if a movement ability (in its lore atleast) based on walking in a giant flying bubble world work out.

Even though its a wolf-centric legend, a Loup Garou inspired Incineroar would be kinda cool as his Kalos/insert name for past Kalos/ian form. (Note, SMT V gave me the basis for said speculation, and I can’t unsee it anymore)

I love how you took 3 starters I don't care much about (in their final forms) and made them more interesting. I'd much rather they do something new with less popular Pokemon when making new forms than giving fan favourites a new design which will inevitably fail to live up to the original

@khoreybrown4349 2 ай бұрын

I really like those ideas. It's definitely a great way to improve the Chickorita line. I also probably have a bit bias, but I love the Inteleon idea. It's too freaking cool. It's definitely my favorite of these. I wish it would be in the game.

@macaronsncheese9835 2 ай бұрын

There's been a lot of speculation the trio is going to be snivy/torchic/piplup, and if so I like the idea of Serperior as a Bourbon (grass/fairy for the fancy and aggressively etiquette-centric culture of versailles), Blaziken as a revolutionary (fire/steel for the Bastille and the guillotine), and of course Napoleon Empoleon (water/fighting for the guy's military accomplishments, and to round out the double-effective types trio)

Also, loving Intellion and Meganium as well! I kinda hope we get this!

I love this video, but I have a small sticking point; barding is not _solely_ a term for horse armor, but also refers to a form of armor primarily composed of cloth or leather, which could either be worn on it's own, allowing for more mobility, or layered underneath plate or chainmail. Notably, plate and chainmail were, historically, almost _never_ worn without barding underneath (another specific name for human cloth armor is a brigantine)

@misterzygarde6431 2 ай бұрын

I love the ideas presented, especially Meganium which gives it an amazing defensive type. It would be pretty neat if like in X and Y, they would have you choose between another set of starters like with the Kanto starters. Maybe later on you get the choice between Piplup, Snivy, and whatever fire starter they go with and they get their own Megas.

@alexs5814 2 ай бұрын

Heh^^ That Emboar was extremely inspired, love it! On a tangent, i also once invented an attack that felt similar to this fire types signature one. "Rope Burn" was a wrap type attack used by a sadistic Omastar and would cause guaranteed flinching if the opposing pkmn was suffering from a burn but fur every flinch the attack and special attack stats would get one rise (to show how the victim was struggling to excape from the pain.).
