An Amazing Real World Pidgeon: • The Pigeon Who WON WW1...
Ash's Unfezant was pretty cool though right? In Pokemon Black and White, we got a Region based on New York City, Unova. You can't have an NYC Pokemon Region without a pidgeon, so we also got Pidove. But what is pidove based on? Why is it so plain? Why does Pidove become Unfezant? Pheasants aren't pigeons! Well let's explain it all in this video.

After being beloved pets and livestock for centuries, a smear campaign was launched against pigeons, calling them "diseased" and "rats with wings" (never mind the fact that tame rats are also very clean animals). Pigeons were then turned out onto the streets in droves, where they live to this day. Another facet of life that likely influenced Unfezant's development.

Hi, I'm here to explain German Pokémon names. This time, of course, I'm focusing on the Pidove line. So, let's get started. First of all, Pidove. It's German name is "Dusselgurr" and it combines "Dussel", a word to describe someone who is silly or dumb, with "Gurr", which is the sound Pidgeons make. Next up, Tranquill's Name is "Navitaub", the Name consists of "Navigation" (the same as the English word navigation) and "Taube". "Taube" is the German Name for doves and pidgeons alike. Lastly, the German name for Unfezant is "Fasasnob" and it is a combination of "Fasan" and "Snob". The word "Fasan" translates to pheasant, while "Snob" is just snob. And that's it. As always, thanks for reading and a nice day to you all!

Guess I'll explain the French names now... "Poichigeon" is a portemanteau of "pigeon", hopefully a translation isn't needed, and "pois chiche", literally, "chickpea", but that can also designate something small and something stupid, like if the brain had the size of a chickpea. That's not very nice. "Colombeau" is a portemanteau of "colombe" which means "dove" and "beau" which means "beautiful" and other things like that. Probably not a reference to Colombo though the ressemblance is funny. "Déflaisan" is litterally the same as in English, "déplaisant" means unpleasant and "faisan" means "pheasant".

Allow me to shed more light on Pidove, because it's genuinely the most complex simple design ever conceived. The hearts aren't just a Japanese pun, they're also a reference to the role of doves, namely in marriage rites and how they're often called the birds of love. But the crest isn't even the only heart design! The closed wings are half of a cartoon heart each, and the pink nose thingy is also heart-shaped! And that's not even getting into the role doves have in mythos that symbolize a new beginning! See, in Christian mythos, a dove was sent out by Noah after the great flood to check to see if the land was viable to live on again. It came back with an olive branch (I think), and thus, it symbolizes a new beginning. Now, what is Unova? A soft reboot? Aka, A NEW BEGINNING?????? It also symbolizes peace and love, hence the tranquil and love theme in Tranquill and Pidove (because love is a reasonable inspiration for the name as well). Unfezant would then be unphased by unpleasantries (as denoted by how they adjust to their trainer, showing both being unphased if they're male and unpleasant for longer if they're female, but they both come around)! I truly believe that Pidove is the PERFECT simple Pokémon, and Tranquill and Unfezant are cool, you all are just mean. Also, Tranquill and Unfezant keep up with the heart shaped crests, heads, and wings, thus all tying in the love and peace theme together. I really like these Pokémon, and I'm tired of people pointlessly dunking on them.

They also have a fleshy bib that goes in front of them and extends out of their neck like a shield and it totally needs to be a pokemon. Lol the actual pheasants really do kind of sound like with the anime sounds like😂 I have a pair of Pheasants and we of course call them Unfezant.

Are you sure the un in unfezant isn't just undeniable, as in an undeniable pheasant. It would fit the mundane aspect of the design. When it comes to the pokemon itself, well it's been my favorite regional bird for a while, simplicity and that extra added detail in the male's mask is enough for me to say that it's interesting. Pheasants in my country are seen as stupid birds with a death wish due to them running all kinds of directions when crossing roads. That aside they are beautiful birds to photograph. Unfezant is funny to me in a way that many might not get, unfezant is kinda like the (if you ask the majority of people, the most boring subclass) champion fighter in dungeons and dragons, one i like funny enough, but why do they remind me of one another aside from the mundane? The crit chance, champions in dungeons and dragons have higher chances of land critical hits then most classes just like how super luck increases crits in pokemon. But yeah i like the pidove line with the only exception being tranquil's mullet, it's simple and that is what makes it great.

Yeah the stats aren't the issue, it's just its moveset that sucks

@Melodylawzx 10 ай бұрын

Rather, it's more like the stats don't match the moveset. I've always suggested they change it so one gender is a physical attacker and the other a special attacker.

The worst part is that by the time we got to Pidove, we already had Pidgey and it's line, and arguably other birds. It was literally Normal/Flying fatigue. It just felt old.

In my first ever Nuzlocke (White 2), the lowest point was when I only had a single Pokemon left, and I still had to fight Roxie. I kept that Pidove with me for the rest of the game

I'm gonna be totally honest: I really like unfezant, I even like it more than pidgeot and swellow. I can't really explain why, but I just really like it. But my favorite regional bird is probably kilowattrel (and if you don't count wattrel and kilowattrel as regional birds since they aren't found as early on as other regional birds, then my regional bird is probably toucannon)

I love this line so much!!! Pigeons are my favorite. Pidove is so cute! Tranquil is also adorable! And unfeazant is so pretty! I had one on my Pokémon black playthrough his name was rocky and him and my serviper gold defeated the elite four together.

Honestly, Pidove and it's whole evolution line are my favorite regional birds. They just seem like friendly buddies and it's easy to imagine just chilling with them if pokemon were real

Unfezant is actually my 2nd favourite regional bird after Toucannon. Pidove is just a precious little guy

@vexusvexed 7 ай бұрын

I used to have a Pidove on my original play-through of Black and White, that I evolved all the way up to Unfeazant. She even helped me beat the Elite 4. Even though that save file is long gone, this made me think of her. Thank you.

Unfezant is actually my third favorite regional bird! I've always had such a soft spot for pigeons so the line was a must to have, and nothing captures the pure joy like the Pidove line. I've never used many competitive mons anyways, so I'm happy to pull it into my team!

I used Pidove and its evolutions in a PokeMMO playthrough with my mates and it was a valued member of my team for a good portion of the game (up until the 6th or 7th gym I believe) because it was an absolute menace against my mates I was playing with, who are much more invested in competitive than I am. Also I never understood the Unfezant hate, but I did start with Black and White, so I may be overly nostalgic to the line. Also I think pigeons are hilarious and would defend them against anyone who hated on them

A thing to note about Tranquill's name is that as you were saying about it being peaceful and nice, its name is very close to "Tranquilo" which's peaceful in Portuguese (and possibly something similar in Spanish?) so just another interesting add-on to that

I like Unfezant c: Also another fun fact about birds: most of them are tetrachromatic, meaning they see all colors like us AND ultraviolet colors. It's determined that the 'plain' looking females actually look quite colorful and bright for other birds.

This is my favourite regional-bird line. Pidove was the first Gen V Pokemon I ever saw, via a plush of all things, and I remember loving Ash's Unfezant in the anime. Unfortunately it isn't great in battle, it has a terrible move-pool, but I've used it a few times, heck I once did a run of Sword with two Unfezant, one male one female, and a Pidove

Before Computer Guided Missile Tech came about, in WW2, the US military had a project training pigeons to guide missiles. They were trained to line up an image of the intended target on the translucent front of the missile where they were placed with the actual target by pecking controls to move the missile up down left or right. During training, they got corn as a reward for correctly placed pecks. It worked so well that the US military almost deployed them before the advent of Computer Guided Missile tech.

The first shiny Pokemon I ever encountered was a female Tranquill. I loved that thing. I found her in the wild, so her stats weren't great and she didn't have any special egg moves or anything, but I still carefully EV trained her and used her on the Battle Subway and everything. Once the females evolve into Unfezant, they gain more of a gold tint. It's kind of nice. I can understand not liking it--I'm not particularly attached to the male version myself--but I'll always have a soft spot for it.
