I think I know where the next Pokemon games are based! I think the Paradox Legendary Beasts and Terapagos are based on Incan mythology! I Think Terapagos is another treasure among the 4 Treasures of Ruin, making it the fifth! And I think a lot more things! This video is ultimately a supremely deep dive into the design origins and lore of Terapagos, and all of its related relations across Paldea.

LOL Killing natives and stealing their money is actually called treasure hunting LOL
Thank you for reading Wikipedia articles!
So it appears that from 58:00-59:43 you needed to vent some frustration against Creationism and Christianity by relating the tale of the Ica Stones into your beautifully woven web of PokéLore, and portraying the Creationists specifically as the villains of that account. While you are entitled to your own opinions and worldview, and it is true that it looks bad for Christian scientists in the '60s and '70s to have fallen for such an obvious tourist trap scam, it is not fair to claim that Young Earth Creationism "ruined" dinosaurs for everyone by suggesting that they existed at the same time as humans 6000 years ago. Science is all about discovery and having differing theories compete with each other for veracity and relevance! Basically, I just take offense at you portraying Christianity as unfun clueless losers who can't get with the times just because of one time when we made a big error in judgement. The rest of the video was great!
Praise Helix
this is kinda ironic because by the length of this video he clearly didn't get any sleep
One more point about Terapagos’s design, it looks like a dream catcher from a top down view, and Terapagos’s whole thing is that it granted Sada and Turo’s dreams.
D-D-D-DREAMCATCHER?
AUSTRALIA?!?!
ARE WE GETTING A DROP BEAR POKEMON?
it also could be based on the jewel of atlantis
And it took arven's dream of having parents
@nabodabo1235 Komala not your cup of tea?
@@nabodabo1235You know dreamcatchers are a big thing in NA too, right?
42:55 My theory on why calling them the "Legendary Dogs" was so wide spread is... no joke, I think it is just because Entei's Pokedex entry mentions barking.
It was also a mistranslation back in gen 2
@@noahberan6498 Yeah but, doesn't stop kids back then from seeing the word "bark" and assuming Entei must be a dog. What kid back in gen 2 would know that?
@@ironmuro I'm not sure, it must have been somewhat widespread. But your idea probably played a role in it too
It went from Legendary dogs back in the day to legendary beasts since it became evident they were never dogs lol
Not just Entei’s, but Raikou’s dex entry also said it barked. GameFreak also continued this description up through gen 4, not getting retconned until gen5.
MatPat levels of insane.
To be fair, his Alchemy theory insanity back with S&M was absolutely hilarious, too
@@Zakading
The alchemy theory ptsd won't leave

Who was it that exposed MatPat? That was petty on a new level lol
@@kingnyame2119exposed what?
"Put a pin in that," is my new cliffhanger trigger, lol.
If you believe that thing, you should put a pin on it. Woah-oh-oh 🎶💃
reminds me of Flawed Peacock's videos - one of his catchphrases is "we'll be keeping this in mind"
Was thiking of watching a video before bed...then i realise this is an hour long. Well ....guess im staying up
Same, was gonna say I was about to rewatch a types explained to fall asleep but nope, can't miss new Lockstin!
I thought it was a casual watch and ten minutes in I realized it's length
What... am I the only one who loves to fall asleep on these long pokemon videos?
where and when are y’all watching this?
Same 😅
Lockstin playing 4-dimensional PokeChess to figure out the setting of Generation 10 pretty much that one Charlie Day meme but it makes perfect sense
I miss when Lockstin began losing his mind when he did Pokemon conspiracies
Good old Times . . .
You should watch the theorizer, he loses his mind all the time
@@ThusSpokeDrDoctor already do
I was rather hoping for another one of these when Sun and Moon ran it's course but sadly I was left disappointed for two WHOLE generations. But finally, FINALLY you have returned with yet another unhinged theory and all is right once more. Thank you, Lockstin! 💖 Honestly, GameFreak just needs to hire you to write storylines.
exactly, real ones wremember his like 3 alola alchemy videos
I'd always appreciate more Alola content as it's my favorite region
@noahberan6498 at the end of the video, he actually had a picture of alola in the back of the conspiracy board, funny reference to his alola conspiracy videos
I felt that nostalgia watching this! I feel so lucky he decided to do another video like this after so long!
@@reshiee69 I definitely hope he keeps doing these haha

Here's a small point that I don't know if it's obvious or if I'm just crazy.
Adding more fuel to the world turtle theory is that those who would come representing the elephants would clearly be the Donphan's paradox, but you'll ask me "but there are 2, not 4 like in the world turtle" exactly! because what other pokemon received both a paradox form from the future and the past? Volcarona! and what's it inspired by? in the Atlas moth... and who is Atlas? the god who carries the world on his back,so there you go
Isn’t it mentioned in the lore that terapagos originally had more of its species but a cave in wiped the rest out until there was one remaining
it's in it's pokedex, yes
That's the reason why the Terapagos doesn't have a locked gender, it's just one of an entire race
Which is also a parallel to real Galapagos tortoises. On at least three of the iconic islands, native lines went extinct. Terapagos can even be referencing “Lonesome George”, a Galapagos turtle that was the last male of his subspecies.
Im not going to lie that alola behind the board near the end got me for some reason
Leftover from the big "IT ALL COMES TOGETHER" series, I'd wager.
I wonder why it was there lol
I think it's because he's connecting america to China...and Hawaii is in between those two lol
Oh no he's Sun-Moon snapped again.
Lockstin at His best!
I had the theory that the ruination quartet were counters of the Alola guardians. There is some similarity between the two groups, countered types, signature group move both have the same effect, and I think the lore in the Alola guardians cut off human contact was due to the treasures of ruin.
That’s a really cool idea!
To add to that, the temple doors are kinda similar colours- purple (lele) yellow (koko) green (bulu) and blue (fini) the purple is the only one that’s a bit of a stretch
I don't know why they're called a "Creation Trio" but Arceus, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina make up another quartet to go with the Tapus, then it's four quartets for the four directions of the world. Unless there's another quartet that I can't think of at the moment...PROBABLY.
@@millicentmok3299 the creation trio refers to Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. Arceus isn't really part of that due to the mythical status and being a trio master. Arceus is more like Lugia is to Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres... and Ho-oh is to the legendary beasts in Johto.
There is another quartet with the swords of justice: Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion and Keldeo. Keldeo's status as a mythical doesn't keep it from the group because it is "in training" and not above the group in rank.
The Ruination Quartet has connections with the Therian forms of the genie quartet (yknow, Landorus, Thunderus, Tornadus, and Enoramus.) Oh its already mentioned in the video
New Pokemon Type: Lockstin
Lockstin's Type Weakness: Push Pins
"Turtles on top of turtles! Turtle Power!"
Broke me 😆 🤣
Lockstin decoding this Pokéspiracy is making me want Gen 10 to be your character breaking through reality in a Matrix meets multiverse brain melting experience.
The crazy gen 7 theory Lockstin made actually did make me think that we would get a big reboot. Even though it didn't happen, it is pretty insane just how much you can connect the dots and have it make sense.
Did Not IT though?!
Didn't it tho? Maybe it didn't, but Pokémon DID change since S&M
addendum on the el dorado mistranslation: it mostly came down to the incans not valuing gold the same way the spanish did. the spanish thought "no way they would let that much gold dust go to waste if they didnt have a MASSIVE amount of gold on hand! they must be hiding it, surely!" because they couldn't fathom the idea that people from a different continent might not have the same cultural understanding of and lust for a shiny rock.
3:41 “Tortoises are specifically terrestrial turtles”. Then I guess Terapagos is specifically a…Terastrial turtle!
I’m terribly sorry, but it just popped into my head. Feel free to boo in the comments.
24:33 Kachi Kochi Dragon? Really? How could you mistake that for Rainbow Dragon?! Also there could be an extra connection with Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise? Just throwing that out there.
that's like saying "I guess a terrapin is a tera-pin! LOL"
@@DJCheese77 Bro...
The Diamondback Terrapin...
BOOOOOO!!!!!/j
Pretty sure He singled out Kachi Kochi Dragon because of the name.
Everybody Gangsta untill Lockstin pulls out the conspiracy board
Lol yea
"Can we talk about the Terapagos!? I've been dying to talk about the Terapagos!"
45:09 the names are mixed up the top creature is a Diabloceratops and the bottom is a Styracosaurus.
I’m just realizing: the _world_ tortoise has a _star_ motif. There’s gotta be some sort of thing going on there.
Please explain with context
The Pokémon most strongly linked with the Stellar Type?
@@Enteringdullsville oh yeah, latin for star and the numerous references to cosmology in the video
Terapagos and Necrozma are both crystals, so-
Also why the antagonist team is Team Star
22:14 the eye in that picture reminded me of the Dragons from BotW/TotK (and I'm realising after getting the timestamp I made the Zelda connection because it's the same colourscheme as the eyes on Mojora's Mask) and in TotK said dragons do indeed travel between the surface world and "deeeeeeep underground"
a theory ive had for a while is that terapagos uses the crystals it creates to see the world wich is why when you look at the reflection of the player instead of being a true reflection its at the same angle as the camera plus it would make sense as to why it started walking toward us instead of keiran after awakening it thanks to its crystals its seen the players actions throughout the game and chose us to be its trainer i mean it broke out of a masterball it had to have some sort of goal
It didn't broke out of a Master Ball, Terapagos destroyed it before it could call him back inside
It's still a big deal regardless considering at least game universe mewtwo could never
Terapagos can learn a move of every type except Ghost and Flying
Odd since Shadow Ball and Defog would still be fine on it.
Note that the 2 new evolutions are for dragon Pokemon not from their own region...
And Unova has the energy of the original dragons...
Gen 9 was so delicious when it comes to the lore and mysteries it presented that continues to confuse people lol
So much lore you may chocke.
I just realized this video is as long as a very short movie..... Does Lockstin ever sleep?
Yes,but He makes vids in His sleep too
Quick addition to the whole Portugal being the only nation to have contact with Japan until Britain and the US forced Japan to open up. The Netherlands also had some diplomatic and trade relations with Japan since 1609 and ended in 1858 when Japan concluded the Treaty of Kanagawa with the US.
This is a bit of a loose thread connected to Japanese trade history but there might be some fun connection to be made with it. I loved the video either way. Learnt a lot about South American history :D
Watch the Netherlands be the basis of gen 10 or 11
@@nazeersadek6705 honestly, there is a map in on of the Blueberry Academy classrooms that looks suspiciously close to a province from the Netherlands, Zeeland
7:28 the ultimate pokemon SV conspiracy otherwise known as "lokstin hurting his fingies for an hour"
8:35... you put a pin not only on a terrapin. But similar to how a pin would be put on map...or on a world turtle. A world...Earth...terra... terrapin
It feels like I attended a real Pokemon professor's lecture.
Lockstin: I'm already linking to way to many videos!
Me: Well, that just makes this the ultimate Lockstin video, the culmination of everything you've done thus far (at least Paldea wise)
Haven’t watched it yet but I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought “ah another it all comes together theory” so we’ll see
Another point to mention about the 5 elements are that they’re all weak to each or the legendary’s types, reinforcing that they’re opposite.
“Metal” is weak to fire (chi-yu)
“Fire” is weak to ground (Ting Lu)
“Earth” is weak to water (Terapagos)
“Wood” is weak to ice (Chien-pao)
“Water” is weak to grass (Wo-chien)
Only 10 minutes in so this may be talked about later.
Edit: Terapagos is normal type, which means it’s not a threat to any of the elements of feng shui, which may be why it wasn’t locked away.
The fact that the Paradox Beasts are a theropod, a sauropod, and a ceratopsian perfectly lines up with the three major clades within Dinosauria: Theropoda, Sauropodamorpha, and Ornithischia. And paleontologists are still debating which two clades are more closely related to each other than to the third clade.
A correction: when showing the Styracosaurus and Diabloceratops at 45:02, you put the names on the wrong pictures.
By the way what does diablo means in English fam??
So far, Sauropodomorpha is a sister clade to Theropoda, so Ornithischia is further away from those other two
@@gsprojects8474 Some studies place Theropoda and Ornithischia as sister clades, while others do so with Sauropodamorpha and Ornithischia.
I like how Lockstin keeps pulling up new things to point with. Always keep them guessing
The Dutch were also allowed to trade with Japan.
Fr these lockstin videos about using the origins of pokemon not only to teach them but to actually speculate about the lore and future games are my favorites
Now this is the kind of unhinged educational rambling I signed up for .
Reminds me of the good ol' days of the Gen 7 alchemy videos.
24:36 I feel like there was an editing mistake here. The way Lockstin describes the card it sounds like he is describing Rainbow Dragon and the Crystal Beasts, but the card show in Kachi Kochi Dragon, which may or may not have the same inspiration, but I do not think it has the rainbow theme Lockstin's led into. I still got what card he might of meant, as a huge Yugioh fan, I just wanted to make others aware of Rainbow Dragon incase they didn't know and was confused why Kachi Kochi Dragon doesn't have anything to do with rainbows.
42:47
I think people consider the legendary beasts as dogs despite their inspirations being large cats is because their designs remind people of specific dog species
Entei looking like a Bulldog
Suicune looking like a greyhound
Meanwhile Raikou in isolation most people would say is inspired by sabertooth tigers, but when lumped with Entei and Suicune people go “if Entei and Suicune look like dogs then Raikou must be some type of Golden Retriever or other ‘generic dog’ species”
(Probably a side effect of Entei being in the third Pokemon movie, Suicune being both in the fourth Pokemon movie and box legendary of Crystal, and Raikou only ever being depicted as part of the trio)
Didn't Raikou get its own special episodes in the Johto anime?
@@bluekirby_64
“The Legend of Thunder” but unfortunately it didn’t feature Ash as the main protagonist, it features Ethan, Kris, and a third new character (even if Ethan and Kris were given different names in the special)
So Raikou still drew the short straw when it comes to the legendary beast’s representation
(At least Raging Bolt is making a name for itself in the competitive scene)
Anyone saying Raikou is some sort of dog, even worse a Golden Retriever 💀, deserves recognition for proving that it is indeed possible for a human being to survive without a brain
Apperantly they are meant to be a Lion, Tiger, and Leopard. I believe the "dog" portion comes from a pokedex entry about Entei barking
@@brinacodding2573 indeed
TyranitarTube:Finally a worthy opponent, OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY
man lockestin really took his time to make/release this and I couldn't be happier :D
Maybe the whole reason that the shiny terapagos looks almost identical to the normal one is for that whole idea of "There are two of these pokemon" and the only other one we will ever be meant to get is the shiny, who will coincidentally be 100% female
Can't wait for your Ogerpon breakdown
People already have the theory of Australia being gen 10, New Zealand could easily be a DLC!
Why do people think Australia is next? I've not seen people saying that.
@morgancrabtree6248 based on some art in the art room, but it was a theory production video which those seem to rarely be correct this far out
That would be cool
What about the theory when they thought Professor Laventon was form India
They wanted Poke India
it’s with that,índia or brazil if you want backstory i would gladly give you some
56:35
"You can fly!?"
"No! Jump good"
- Walking Wake: Yugekune. Take Suicune and replace Sui (water) with Yuge (Steam) due to Walking's Wake's signature move being extremely hot water, enough to be empowered by hot hot sunlight
- Raging Bolt: Rankou. Take Raikou and replace Rai (lightning/electricity) with Ran (storm) for the stormcloud motif
- Gouging Fire: Mosutei. Take Entei and replace En (one of the words for fire) with Mosu (flare/ignite) as my first thought on seeing Gouging Fire's crest being that it looking like an exploding firework

PTSD
An hour long vidoe by Lockstin? What a perfect video for my Friday evening.
It's kinda funny watching this whole video and being like "So basically Paldea is just central and south America just transplanted over the ocean" with how much everything from the starters to like half of the mons to the paradox pokemon and the legendaries all tie back to the indigenous cultures. Hell the fact that MTG thought enough to include dinosaurs (past paradox) and golems (future paradox) in the native's designs shows how on track that line of thinking is. Makes you wonder how much is left for a potential south American region when so much already went into Paldea.
I am from new zealand, and i died inside whenever he pronounced any names
otherwise, one of my favorite youtubers delivers an absolutely amazing video, i dont care that its so long :)
I never noticed that Dodongzo's head fins are supposed to look like a japanese chef headband.
46:25 First emperor. Real person. Extremely mythologized. Worshiped as a god. That sounds an awful lot like Romulus.
The Roman guy?!?
@@AgnesBooth-zu7tw Yep.
Its crazy how much history i have learned on this channel more then a history class
You had me at “conspiracy board”
Ah... Now this brings back memories of good times lol
ok, so the inca had god who existed kinda in pairs to fufill the nature of duality, and terapagos takes inspiration from them, and there might be two terapagos, one male, and one female to also fufill duality, and terapagos is the fifth treasure of ruin, then maybe it was sealed for the actions of its counterpart. While both are perhaps capable of the same things, the other used its power for more disaterous things at some point, which is why it was sealed/is a treasure of ruin while our terapagos may not be "evil", people still saw a terapagos and treated it as they did the other treasures of ruin.
Man, this brings me back. I've missed this sort of mega-theory since the "it all comes together" days.
Okay, this might be a lot based off a one off comment, but you mentioning how the paradox swords are golems could explain how all the future paradox Pokémon work. In the future, Pokémon are fully extinct, completely, except ghost type Pokémon- they can’t die they’re already dead- so would it be so far fetched that the future paradox Pokémon are the few that survive in ghosts that now possess these man made machines that they accepted because it’s was the closest thing they could find to their old bodies
8hr shift just got a lot better
so a south amarica game in gen 10? for reel
Either that or China.
Or maybe China will be DLC. Or South America will be DLC.
Really, the DLC this Gen kinda makes future region speculation more chaotic since we are apparently guaranteed at least two more random places to visit somewhere...
@@rotciv557 true but they may trow us for a loop and just do gen 10 in india. WHY? idk.
@@plyzwild India is my personal choice for a next region, so I'd be all for that.
@@rotciv557 cool
Metal could be represented by Gholdengo, a gold pokemon introduced in the National Pokedex before the Treasures of Ruin.
I actually think Gholdengo is the elemental metal based on the Gimmighoul dex entry sounding like its tied to the traveling merchant that brought the Ruinous Quartet to Paldea. As per what Raifort teaches in History class. They all seem to represent a different aspect of sha chi as well as their element.
It is time my friends. AWAKEN THE THEORY
Finally, Spain can be put to rest
41:42 In Blueberry Academy is a map of allegedly the Netherlands. The province of Zeeland to be exact, let New Zealand got its name of that province.
Kiwi here, gotta day I like lockstins thinking about the New Zealand stuff (and his attempts at trying to say Maori names) but some of the points got me thinking about something.
So, I was just thinking about the whole duality thing and my brain just clicked on this thought.
Lugia (master of the oceans, depicted as swimming and staying below water) is considered the master of the legendary birds who remain in the sky.
Ho oh on the other hand is the rainbow bird, ever present in the sky and is the master of the legendary beasts, earth bound large cats.
The two are opposites and a duality of each other, one where the legendary at the center of it is in the opposite area of those it resides over.
But this also got me thinking, why did we only get paradox forms of legendary beasts in this generation? Well cause in the generation prior we got our legendary birds, once again they were released a generation apart from each other, the birds first and the beasts second. This is also very loose in terms of what's applicable but the master of these new birds appears to be Calyrex, an emporer, while the master of the new beasts appears to be Terapagos, the world treasure and turtle.
10:43
wasn't that the Dutch?
Yeah, I was wondering how he repeatedly mentioned the Portuguese trade with Japan and the USA/UK gunboat diplomacy, but never mentioned the Dutch. I'm pretty sure the period between the Portuguese where kicked out for trying to convert the locals and the gunboat was Dutch trade, with the Dutch (and secretly Germans, since the Japanese couldn't tell the difference) bringing modern medicine etc. to Japan.
39:36 As a New Zealander, can I help with the pronunciation? My sister's been helping me touch up on Māori, or Te Reo as I've learned it should be called. Lockstin's pretty good with Pacific Island words, like in the Alolan fossil video, and he nailed Manawatū (where my mum lives, hi mum!), but in Te Reo 'wh' is said like a f, so Whanganui is a bit like 'FUNG-ah-noo-ee'. Dude basically had it! He got Aotearoa pretty close too, just the first syllable's more like you stubbed your toe. 'OW!-tay-ah-RO-ah'. Info you didn't ask for are wiser for knowing (:
Edit: Forgot to add, 'Māori' is usually a hard word to get right, I'm New Zealandic and still struggle a bit, but once again Lockstin said it pretty damn well! Even slightly rolling the r. The macron on the a just means you say the 'ah' sound a bit longer before moving on the the o, similar to if it was written 'Maaori'. But yeah, love it when Lockstin references this side of the Pacific!
What do yuo think of Mayan lenguaje and nahuatl?
@@AgnesBooth-zu7tw Lockstin or me? He's referenced languages of the Americas a few times in videos I think, I even learnt some basic pronunciation from him in them
43:52 What I want to know is why Suicune didn't get Sauropod to lean into the whole kirin giraffe thing?
Bruh, I can't with the PUT A PIN IN IT! Lockstin, my conspiracy board has SO many pins in it, my guy! XD
LOL! "Dragon, DRAGON! I don't do that tongue thing." XD
Notification squad, where ya at?
Here
🎉
11:56 Spain: You can have the east, I'll take the west, think I'll beat you to an economic victory?
Portugal: Nah I'd win.
Spain at the time was the economic superpower, since it trade directly from New Spain to Philippines and then China.
50:33> A league is 3 miles (4.83km) and a fathom is 6ft (1.83m)
So, very big
Lockstin and his hidden ability of making hour-long videos feel like the standard 10 min ones. Im down for more ! 🙌🏽✨️
I'm glad scarlet and violet actually has lore. Sword and shield lore was giant evil space dragon is destroying the region. two hero dogs stopped him. now it's your turn to do the same and that's it
I always enjoy listening to you ramble about Pokemon and their real world connections! Boy, this was a big one!
1:20 Hydrapple is incredibly deep in its inspiration and it makes me love it even more
43:03 because suicune looks more like a dog than a cat because cats don’t have long snouts but dogs do
I mean Australia is basically a real life Pokémon region anyway. Australia has been isolated geographically for so long that everything there just keeps evolving into cute little freaks of nature. I have been wishing for an Australian Pokémon region since X and Y. Please for the love of ARCEUS…
Plus the invasive species introduce to take on plagues and thus, became plagues themselves, overtime.
About a quarter of the way through, and this is already reminding me of the Necrozma & Kyurem theory videos made during Lockstin's "It all comes together" era. Loving it so far.
As the Yu-Gi-Oh! fan, you put the wrong card in to represent Cuychi. You put the Xyz monster “Kachi Kochi Dragon”, who doesn’t have a rainbow theme. You were probably thinking of “Rainbow Dragon”
agreed, especially with Rainbow Dragon’s ties with the Crystal Beasts
Now you can finally say “let’s put a pin in that” good investment just for that alone.
An hour long lockstin video!!! This is my dream!!!!!
The amount of research and dedication there takes me back to the Azoth Saga
28:09 that's... certainly one of the Lando Ts of all time
You could say it's coming together
I lost it at Alola being alone on the back of the board
I haven't even finished the video and yet I now realized why the pokemon co. seems to try to create a new era. (signified by Ash no longer the anime main character.) The fact that Scarlet Violet has so many connection that can be connected to past games even.
24:41 crystal yes, rainbow? no
we do have a card called rainbow dragon though and its a part of the crystal beast deck
This was my thinking, too
Kia Ora! Ka Pai on your Aotearoa/Maori pronunciation. Some of the best from an american I've ever heard (and well improved from some of your Alola videos lol). Sick video 💪
1:05:18 You know it's funny how Akihabra ganined its title of "Electric Town" for its association with cutting and bleeding edge technology but at some point in the 2000s or early to mid 2010s, it turned into more of an otaku haven (though I'm guessing it and the presently similarly otaku-oriented Nakano Broadway were foodie havens since the "economic miracle" started)
Love the video, I get to learn so much about the origin of Pokémon and how everything connects to something else.
37:26 I'm pretty sure that the hourglass shaped engraving on the unscratchable metal plate depicts the crater of Area 0 (the top, larger triangle), the depths (the cross section) and the underdepths (smaller bottom triangle). Pretty insane since its always been right there in our faces even before we knew about the underdepths
