Something that may or may not be accurate for the mind badge: In Japanese, the word 心 (kokoro) can be, and often is, translated as "heart," but can also mean "spirit" or "mind," and kokoro in totality really just boils down to meaning one's core or essence of self.

Psychic as a type is so busy. Its everything from cosmic type, light type, intellect, mythicalness, magic, emotional, supernatural, spiritual, etc. It overlaps immensely with Fairy on terms of how its used, and strangely enough fairy's primary key distinction from psychic is food, and the fact that dark is not effective against it. Its the duality of light and dark, in that dark can snuff light, but light can vanquish dark. In that sense, fairy feels like a subtype, or extension, to psychic. Kinda like how rock and ground are extensions of each other, or ice and water. I kinda want subtyping to be a thing, it'd make things complicated though.

@tanandalynch9441 9 ай бұрын

Fairy is also super effective against dragon and immune to it, while psychic does and takes normal damage. Also a lot of fairy types are based on fairies or have that typical fairy frilliness going on. Ironically psychic doesn't do much to steel despite the spoon bending thing, and fairy does even less. However there are a lot of dual psychic/fairy types, two of the most popular being Gardevoir and Hatterene, both associated with emotions

Rossane's stone badge also looks a bit like hammering on an anvil from the top pov (as most crafted weapons tend to take that rectangle shape in media) given her theme of helping run the school it could reference her "forging" young minds.

So for the Balance Badge. It honestly looks like a symbol for Opposition. In Astrology, the aspect called Opposition is when a person needs to balance two planets as they are perfect Opposition of each other. Which the symbol for that reminds me of that badge.

Milotic is technically a dragon, in the sense that it’s in the dragon egg group. Which is APPARENTLY enough for Lance to be a dragon master instead of flying master (only 3 dragon types, ALL OF THE SAME SPECIES, and 6 flying types. Only gets a little better in later gens, but I’m pretty sure in every iteration of Lance he has more flying types than dragon types). So if dragon egg group = dragon, which it certainly seems to, then Milotic is in fact a dragon.

Very cook Lockstin I love learning random video game facts ill probably never use. If you don't mind I have a video idea for you. Since you go in depth talking about the origins of pokemon, I thought it would be cool if you did the same but for Fakemon and try to see what the fakemon artist were going for. I think that would be very cool.
