Hello from Kanto! 😁 (First Pokémon game I played) I don’t think there’s a Pokémon game based off of my area yet. I was born in Oregon. Specifically Salem. So the Willamette Valley area but the forest part on the way to Independence, not the city area. Now I’m in a rural/suburban mix town. Still in the Willamette Valley though
Riolu and Lucario were introduced in Gen 4, but the only way you could get one in Sinnoh was for Riley to give you an Egg. But they could be found in the wild in Hisui (ancient Sinnoh), implying that they became an endangered species.
The first region we find wild Riolus is Unova, in the grass right after Floccesy Ranch in BW2. But they're also present in the very earlier routes of Kalos and Alola's Poni Island along wild Lucarios.
You missed Urshifu, this is the shield dex entry for Single Strike Style, "Inhabiting the mountains of a distant region, this Pokémon races across sheer cliffs, training its legs and refining its moves"
With Hisui's gimmick being Strong and Agile Style moves and Urshifu having its Single Strike and Rapid Strike forms, I think it's very safe to assume that the distant mountainous region they hail from is Sinnoh.
Theory Oswald's device wasn't an alien detector, it's a Fairy detector. It was detecting Clefairy's Fairy type, as well as Jigglypuff's. The reason it went off near Misty, is because it was actually responding to Togepi in her arms
The original plot concelt that the Kalos games were designed around was talking about how the newly discovered fairy types are actually aliens from the moon, and Team Flare are MIB that were possed by evil aliens. So back before they scrapped that you would be close
It's funny to think about how many Pokemon have been retcon to come from other regions, and then there's Copperajah which from the second it was created was meant to reference an Indian Pokemon region that we'll someday see.
I hope that by gen 11 or 12, a pokemon region based on India would be implemented as there are are few wildlifes to make new pokemon based on it such as bengal tiger.
Hopefully if they ever do an Indian based region, Copperajah can be reworked so it doesn't look so squished. It's an elephant pokemon but it's body looks flat compared to its trunk.
To counter your points on so many Pokemon being native to Alola, keep in mind that this is only due to Island Scan, which allows exceptionally rare (starters) or non-native Pokemon to appear on the islands
A lot of starters are probably native to the Lental Region, as you can find them in the wild there. This especially can be true for Meganium, due to its entire storyline.
5:05 Aerodactyl nor the old amber cannot be found in Paldea as of yet 6:50 Cyndaquil’s dex entry in PLA states that it is from Johto 13:42 Oshawott at the very least is from Unova according to Hisui dex entry
Well in PLA, laventon wrote the dex itself, and if laventon traveled to the johto region and obtained it as a gift, it could mean cyndaquil is not from johto. same with oshawott. however, thats a pretty specific requirement
@@ThewandererFN Or he could have found a wild Cyndaquil/Oshawott/one that someone released (maybe a shiny hunter was trying to get a shiny but the egg wasn't shiny and so they released it or something idk) or the descendent of one.
I think you misheard me, I stated that Kanto, Alola, and Paldea are the only regions the Old Amber cannot be found in 😉 As for the dex entries, I totally missed that! That is a good counterpoint!
I actually think Eevee is native to Paldea. Not only is Eevee encounterable in the wild, but so are all of it's evolutions. If you include Eevee and all of it's Evolutions, they can be found in North, South, East, and West provices, and Vaporeon can be found in Area 0. When I was completing my Pokedex for Pokemon Violet I was able to catch every single evolution form of Eevee in the wild, I didn't even have to evolve any of them myself.
Thinking about it further the long lasting effects of the Area Zero crater forming may have even destabilized Eevee's DNA to cause it to evolve into so many forms.
Isn't the same true of Galar? I think you can find Eevee and all of the Eeveelutions in Galar. Eevee is on the route before the grass gym and the Eeveelutions are in the wild area and the Crown Tundra
I think Spinarak is from Alola. They are more common there (counting their evolution too) and they are based on the happy face spider, a spider endemic to Hawai'i
The fact Omanyte is the ancestor to Octillery's line doesn't mean that Octillery isn't native from Johto. Omanytes could change and evolve over time as they changed locations and expanded around the world. With how close Johto is from Kanto, it's totally possible for a comunity of Omanytes (or of a different especies that evolved from Omanyte) to travel to Johto and keep changing and evolving there.
The only time we see Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle in the anime was the group of Bulbasaur migrating from another region to evolve in Kanto, the Charizard mountain tribe in Johto, but we did see a herd of Wartortle in Kanto. So he could be exempt from the list.
I think this is one time where the anime seems more likely to be reality since I feel like a lot of things like starters not being in the wild is more of a game mechanic then anything
Thank you so much for slowing down a bit. It makes hearing and understanding your fascinating information way easier to understand than trying to decipher it by rewinding. Keep up the fantastic work! ❤️🤗
I think the starters are native to their respective gens but are endangered species, hence why they are given out to trainers. To help grow their numbers, which would explain how other starters become catch-able in later games (like the Kanto starters in the Let's Go games)
Legends Arceus gives evidence to both starters being endangered native species and imported species. The starters for that game are all imported from other regions, but DPPt/BdSp's starters are found somewhat uncommonly in the wild. More so for piplup and turtwig than chimchar.
Lapras can be found ON Four Island, I’m pretty sure they even mention that’s where Lorelei caught hers. It’s safe to say they come from there rather than Johto where it only shows up once a week (perhaps because of the migration thing you mentioned)
I love how most of these are Pokèmon that were expounded upon by being given pre evolutions or evolutions in different regions, only for them to turn out to be from those regions.
One I'm surprised he didn't mention was marill since its so rare in the johto games but common everywhere else especially in hoenn. Makes me think marill Is from hoenn
One of hoppip’s dex entries in scarlet and violet talks about how they floated in from a different region so this could mean that hoppip are from another region besides johto
My current theory is that Togepi are Galarian. It's the only game they and their evolutions can be found in the wild not including Legends: Arceus. When the industrial boom that made Galarian Weezing and Corsola happened, they migrated elsewhere to spread joy
@@itsfaythe6674 Yup! The Johto thing is just because of the player. Mr. Pokémon’s egg he gave them hatched into the first Togepi in Johto, thus making the player’s recording of them in the dex the first as well. It’s also why there’s not a single trainer with one
Good video as always Dobbs, you can always tell good effort goes into your videos! Your videos are comfort videos, nothing but fun and good vibes. Thanks for that.
The Togepi line can’t be native to Hoenn because you’re not able to encounter them in the wild in Ruby & Sapphire. The only games where you can encounter wild Togepi are Pokémon Diamond & Pearl’s Route 230 and Pokémon White’s White Forest.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus seems to imply that the starters are native to their home regions. Not only does the three starters Dex entry state this, but the Sinnoh Starters are also caught in the wild.
You forgot the Sacred Treasure beasts. They spawned from the gifts of a merchant not from another region. That's why their names and battle music are reminiscent of China. So, perhaps there's a Chinese region out there as well?
@@ghoulchan7525seeing as they've made 4 regions based on Japan (6 if you include kitakami and the sevii islands and more if you include Fiore and all that which idk about), 3 based on highly specific American locations (Arizona, NYC/NJ, Hawaii) then a region for France, Great Britain and Spain/Portugal so they have about 95% of the world left to work with lol A region based on China, Australia, India, the Southern US, California, Mexico, Russia, the Arabian peninsula, Scandinavia, East Africa, or even another region of Japan could all be really cool.
You forgot Falinks, since Falinks is based off of the Phalanx formation from Sparta, along with a headcanon I have where Falinks travels across the world (Though maybe they got the armor from the ruins they are most often found in)
tbh.... if we go off that (A Pokemon that is based off of something), Girafarig and Zebstrika aren't native to their respective regions either (Same with Litleo and Hippopotas for example).
I hope this hackrom had been made before the fourth gen, since Beldums are available on Route 228 and also this would contradict the fact the anyone can get a Metagross in the game. Even Riley has one in Platinum and in the double battles.
My head cannon is that starter pokemon come from the regions of Pokemon Ranger games, like Fiore from the first one. In those regions, the starters from generations 1 to 4 (the ones available when Ranger games were launched) can be found in the wild, and it explicitly explained that Pokemon trainers are not allowed in those regions. So, it would make sense that professor Pokemon can obtain starter Pokemon from the rangers on Fiore.
Maybe togepi is the alien (or otherworldly entity of happiness) since Misty is holding it when the machine goes off. Don’t you dare tell me togepi paradise is a normal place, seems like some kind of extension of another world (fairy land or something)
Wait at 4:37 you said Lapras could be caught every Wednesday. I thought Lapras as catchable in the union cave on Fridays. Maybe I'm misremembering, I dunno, I just remember playing johto a lot and getting my lapras on a Friday. (I just absolutely love johto, it's got my favorite pokemon there.)
It's clear to me that will have a south american/Brazilian region. It was kinda confirmed in mew's Pokedex, besides that, quaxly/quaquaval (carnival dancer), hitmontop (capoeira fighter), cottonee/whimsicott (a Brazilian folklore), and zarude (probably from the amazon jungle), and many others that makes reference to Brazil.
Regional variants of pokemon and usually their dex entries will answer if that is their native form (such as with Alolan Executor actually being the original form) or a form they evolved later on after being introduced/imported (Alolan Grimer/Muk). So when you're theorising stuff about Alolan Grimer/Muk, your answer was literally right in front of you.
Amazing how a Pokèmon from Gen 1 was actually originally from a region that was introduced years later. Until you remember the original timeline without Alola. 😳
I've always thought it'd be cool for them to do a South America region. And drop a mew regional variant that is its true form. They could even make faraway island a location in the region as it seems like a jungle area.
Quaxly is probably from a brazillian region, since quaquaval is the single most brazillian pokémon ever created. Brazil is a whole ocean away from the Iberic Peninsula (which Paldea is inspired by, it isn't just Spain, but Spain AND Portugal), so the "from distant lands" quote fits, and since Brazil was colonized by Portugal, it would tie nicely as to why Quaxly is present in the Paldea region.
But here is the thing though. Quaxly is based on the Crested Duck: The Crested is a breed of domestic duck. It was probably brought to Europe from the East Indies by Dutch ships.[3]: 413 It has its appearance because it is heterozygous for a genetic mutation causing a deformity of the skull. The Indies refers to various lands in the East or the Eastern hemisphere, particularly the islands and mainlands found in and around the Indian Ocean by Portuguese explorers. So Quaxly is most likely from the East Indies.
@@nickdentoom1173 That is indeed the animal it is inspired by. But the brazilian carnival references in quaquaval are undenyable, with even it's name being a mixture of "qua qua" (the brazilian onomatopoeia for the sound that ducks make) and "carnaval" (the portuguese word for carnival). With the portuguese being the ones that brought the crested duck do Brazil, quaxly can still be a crested duck while being from a region inspired by Brazil (one thing does not exclude the other). Now, because the crested duck is not native to Brazil, a regional "original" form of quaxly, quaxwell and/or quaquaval could still exist in a region inspired by the east indies (much like galarian zigzagoon being the original zigzagoon). But as far as the current quaquaval, it makes a lot more sense for it to be brazilian, especially since the connections it has to the brazilian carnival are stronger (at least with quaquaval) than the ones with the crested duck.
@@matheuscastro990 Like... it can have been brought to Paldea from the East Indies and then brought to a Brazilian (South American region, where it regained its original Quaquaval form). Wouldn't it be funny if we get a regional form for Quaxly/Quaquaval inspired by an Asian region Legends Game, Johto perhaps.
I'm not listening to nine separate arguments for starters alone, especially when Hisui's starters also came from other regions, despite also being found in the wild in Hisui. They're native to the region of their origin games, especially if you've got people talking about the anime in the comments.
It’s also a little bit more confusing with jigglypuff by the fact that scream tail exist since that means that jigglypuff must have been on planet earth (or whatever the Pokémon planet is called) for a very long time
While this is true FOR NOW, we haven’t had any DLC for SV yet & there’s a lot of speculation surrounding the Paradox pokemon that suggests they aren’t past/future pokemon since the Time Machine isn’t a Time Machine at all, but a machine that manifests dreams and whatever your imagination can come up with. However all of this is just speculation for now until we get DLC.
I don't think anything in the Occulture magazine can really be taken as objective fact or is meant to be. The Paradox Pokémon and Occulture are based on cryptids and the exaggerated and unbelievable stories published by paranormal magazines. Even the names of Paradox Pokémon are similar to cryptids, being descriptors of their appearance with names like Great Tusk and Roaring Moon while we have cryptids in real life named things like Bigfoot and Mothman.
I think the great marsh is practically the same as the safari zone but not lore wise. Gible is found in the desert in ORAS after the box legendary is defeated/caught so gible being a rare hoenn mon works for me. Metagross is found in the great chasm in unova so i can see beldum being from there and its said the chasm is dangerous which is why theyre rare, no one goes there. Mr. Mime being from kalos, reflection cave is cool. Makes sense since kalos is close to galar where theres a regional mr mime.
I think safari pokemon are probably pokemon that went near extinct in their own regions. So Scyther, Kangashan and e.t.c . I think they are native in Kanto but they went almost extinct there. Same for Lapras
It might be reconned but technically all Johto mons are foreign to johto. Since technically they’re are the only “newly discovered” Pokémon in canon every other gen moved along like those Pokémon always been there
Tauros is not native to Paldea because all three of their forms are called breeds: Combat Breed, Aqua Breed and Blaze Breed. So that alone already suggests they are bred from other Tauros forms.
BIG disagree with Murkrow. And this also includes Misdreavus. My theory is that they both migrated to kanto/johto later on. Which is why you can’t find Mukrow in red and blue. And I believe they migrated from Sinnoh where these pokemon are plentyful and it’s easier to find their evolution stones. Houndour as well, I am certain is from either Kalos or Paldea And Slugma is most likely from Hoenn.
Yeah... its hard to actually pinpoint an actual native region for Water and Flying types and Pokemon that can float, considering they aren't landlocked compared to other Pokemon. Like, you can make that same case for Pokemon that can turn into Water types (For example Eevee can be native to Galar or Paldea, considering those are the only regions where they can be found, but if we look at locations, Eevee appears at more locations in Paldea than in Galar, especially with the Eeveelutions as well, which you can only catch in one location in the base game, so Eevee is probbaly native to Paldea, but Vaporeon swam to Galar and that is why the line also exists there). Murkrow are actually more plentiful in Paldea than in Sinnoh though. In Sinnoh, Murkrow only appears in the Lost Tower and Eterna Forest, while in Paldea, Murkrow appears in three of the four provinces in multiple area''s. Another point to add is that Murkrow is based on the Carrion Crow, which can be found in Iberia. Not to speak about Paldea actually being the only region you can find Honckrow in multiple provinces and area's and Honckrow also has the Europe inspiration, being based on the hooded crow. Misdreavus is most likely native to Paldea as well, since Paldea yet again being the region where its the most abundant in locations, as well as its connection to Flutter Mane.
Sizzlipede is only in ONE area in Galar, not all over the place. Raid Dens do not count since those are totally random and not on a set encounter pattern.
Okay, hear me out: all four of Raikou, Entei, Suicune, *and* Ho-Oh aren’t native to Johto. Yes, even with the whole Burned Tower incident. The real-world inspiration for all four Legendary Pokémon comes from Chinese origin, and it’s possible that the Pokémon that died in the Burned Tower were from an undiscovered China-themed region before being reincarnated by Ho-Oh, who itself can make a case for only roosting in Johto and not actually being from there. As for why all of the Johto Legendaries (except Lugia; remember, it was designed specifically for the movie originally) are from a different place and why Gen 2 isn’t Chinese themed: that’s probably just a represent consequence of video game history in the country.
I think Lapras is from Galar natively because of its Loch Ness monster and the reason you can also find it in the wild in the most location. It being a Water type, probably means it migrated to the other regions and sought out the locations it felt the most comfortable in.
a lot of those made sense, but, i still think the quaxly line are native to brazil. it's final form sambas and that dance, as far as i know, comes from rio's carnival which is in brazil.
If Island Scan is a viable way to determine a Pokemon is native to a region, then why not also Pokemon encountering features such as PokeRadar? They're used to get Pokemon don't naturally spawn to become catchable. So what makes one an indicator of region of origin while the others don't?
I think Yungoos and Gumshoos are actually from Paldea as it’s newly added dex entries that we haven’t gotten since Alola don’t state anything about it being foreign to Paldea unlike Alola which is a first for this line.
How about the Forces of Nature? They clearly are out of place in Unova. Japanese deities in a region not based on a japanese region. It's pretty obvious that they're from either Kanto, Johto, Hoenn or Sinnoh (probably Sinnoh if we look at Legends). And the Treasures of Ruin too. What are chinese relics doing in Spain?
I thought that too! But on the official Sword and Shield website it states that Kubfu’s original home is Galar, so I took them out of the video last minute
I planning to make a fake legends game in the future based on hoenn and centered around deoxys and pokerus so explimations for starmie and togepi will be very helpful in making ancient forms
It's curious that only 2 of the paradox pokemon (future ones at that) are listed to not be from the pokemon world. The next question would also become: What about the remaining paradox pokemon? I don't think any of them were mentioned, so i'm assuming they're from the revealed generations nation? But then the future versions become technical questions. Are they from the original region that their forms are based on? Or Are they from the region they were made in?
The manga is yet another canon and continuity that differs from both the games and anime. In the gaming canon, you get an Egg after beating the first Ranger game.
One thing that’s confused me. You use the legends arceus Pokémon to help back native sinoh Pokémon, or help figure out such as the gen 4 starters, however carnivine is in the wild in legends arceus so how does that work?
When I read Quaxly’s Pokédex entry, I thought about if it came from a Brazil-based region because of how Quaquaval is based on Carneval dancers. Then I thought what if Fuecoco came from a Mexico-based region. Idk where Sprigatito would be imported from, though.
I vaguely remember reading that Fuecoco is from the Philippines while Sprigatito is from Mexico, and the third from Brazil all of which were Iberian colonies in the past.
@@Ivashankoeh, but fuecoco's face is similar to a sugar skull, which is a mestizo mexican origin. Plus, all peppers originated from the americas, and mexico has many, many mythos of cryptid crocodilians. Considering Sprigatito's design influences are of a Jester, one who can put on a show to kings and masters of illusion, and considering the french "mascara" was taken from the spanish word for "mask", I think Sprigatito is either from Paldea, and *maybe* Galar or Kalos, but I think its less likely.
It sort of feels like the starter Pokemon were bred in captivity on some island where all the regional Professors vacation on, and they each take three back with them to their home regions. The island is probably in or near Alola, and that's why they appear so regularly there Whenever they appear in the wild elsewhere, they're probably the descendants of the ones who've escaped, been abandoned or lost and have bred with others of their kind in similar situations

The Togepi line can’t be native to Hoenn because you’re not able to encounter them in the wild in Ruby & Sapphire. The only games where you can encounter wild Togepi are Pokémon Diamond & Pearl’s Route 230 and Pokémon White’s White Forest.
Did you forget sword and shield?
Pokemon Legends: Arceus seems to imply that the starters are native to their home regions. Not only does the three starters Dex entry state this, but the Sinnoh Starters are also caught in the wild.
You forgot the Sacred Treasure beasts. They spawned from the gifts of a merchant not from another region. That's why their names and battle music are reminiscent of China. So, perhaps there's a Chinese region out there as well?
how long till they run out of ground to make into pokemon regions?
@@ghoulchan7525seeing as they've made 4 regions based on Japan (6 if you include kitakami and the sevii islands and more if you include Fiore and all that which idk about), 3 based on highly specific American locations (Arizona, NYC/NJ, Hawaii) then a region for France, Great Britain and Spain/Portugal so they have about 95% of the world left to work with lol
A region based on China, Australia, India, the Southern US, California, Mexico, Russia, the Arabian peninsula, Scandinavia, East Africa, or even another region of Japan could all be really cool.
1:23 What if the device was picking up on Togepi, not Misty, and that all Fairy type PKMN are aliens?
I've been binge watching every one of your videos lately. Been looking forward to a new video
I like that some people aren't from the regions introduced
You forgot Falinks, since Falinks is based off of the Phalanx formation from Sparta, along with a headcanon I have where Falinks travels across the world (Though maybe they got the armor from the ruins they are most often found in)
So their native region is either Italy or Greece.
tbh.... if we go off that (A Pokemon that is based off of something), Girafarig and Zebstrika aren't native to their respective regions either (Same with Litleo and Hippopotas for example).
10:00 in a pokemon hackrom, someone made a book explaining that metagross was made by Devon in Hoenn, and that's why only Steven has a Metagross
I hope this hackrom had been made before the fourth gen, since Beldums are available on Route 228 and also this would contradict the fact the anyone can get a Metagross in the game.
Even Riley has one in Platinum and in the double battles.
Nice Diddy Kong racing background music lol. It brought me back pleasant memories.
My head cannon is that starter pokemon come from the regions of Pokemon Ranger games, like Fiore from the first one. In those regions, the starters from generations 1 to 4 (the ones available when Ranger games were launched) can be found in the wild, and it explicitly explained that Pokemon trainers are not allowed in those regions. So, it would make sense that professor Pokemon can obtain starter Pokemon from the rangers on Fiore.
Beldum probably lived from the Galar region, mainly the Crown Tundra, due to how moves faster in colder climates.
Beldum is usually found around meteor sites, so I theorize it to be from space.
Maybe togepi is the alien (or otherworldly entity of happiness) since Misty is holding it when the machine goes off. Don’t you dare tell me togepi paradise is a normal place, seems like some kind of extension of another world (fairy land or something)
She was holding Togepi, that was why the machine was going off.
Wait at 4:37 you said Lapras could be caught every Wednesday. I thought Lapras as catchable in the union cave on Fridays. Maybe I'm misremembering, I dunno, I just remember playing johto a lot and getting my lapras on a Friday. (I just absolutely love johto, it's got my favorite pokemon there.)
Metagross could be native to Unova as well, since they're found in the Giant Chasm in both BW/BW2
You forgot to mention you can find Murkrow on Fire Red's sevii islands' Lost Cave!
It's clear to me that will have a south american/Brazilian region. It was kinda confirmed in mew's Pokedex, besides that, quaxly/quaquaval (carnival dancer), hitmontop (capoeira fighter), cottonee/whimsicott (a Brazilian folklore), and zarude (probably from the amazon jungle), and many others that makes reference to Brazil.
I always thought Zarude could have been from the lush jungle as a protector of sorts before becoming a trial site
Regional variants of pokemon and usually their dex entries will answer if that is their native form (such as with Alolan Executor actually being the original form) or a form they evolved later on after being introduced/imported (Alolan Grimer/Muk). So when you're theorising stuff about Alolan Grimer/Muk, your answer was literally right in front of you.
Amazing how a Pokèmon from Gen 1 was actually originally from a region that was introduced years later.
Until you remember the original timeline without Alola. 😳
I've always thought it'd be cool for them to do a South America region. And drop a mew regional variant that is its true form. They could even make faraway island a location in the region as it seems like a jungle area.
Probably not Mew because the Pokédex has stated there is only one left.
If we get a South American region, we should get a regional form for the Lotad line
Argentina pokemon region lol
Are there jungles in Argentina?
@@lollertoaster yeah
Quaxly is probably from a brazillian region, since quaquaval is the single most brazillian pokémon ever created. Brazil is a whole ocean away from the Iberic Peninsula (which Paldea is inspired by, it isn't just Spain, but Spain AND Portugal), so the "from distant lands" quote fits, and since Brazil was colonized by Portugal, it would tie nicely as to why Quaxly is present in the Paldea region.
But here is the thing though.
Quaxly is based on the Crested Duck: The Crested is a breed of domestic duck. It was probably brought to Europe from the East Indies by Dutch ships.[3]: 413 It has its appearance because it is heterozygous for a genetic mutation causing a deformity of the skull.
The Indies refers to various lands in the East or the Eastern hemisphere, particularly the islands and mainlands found in and around the Indian Ocean by Portuguese explorers.
So Quaxly is most likely from the East Indies.
@@nickdentoom1173 That is indeed the animal it is inspired by. But the brazilian carnival references in quaquaval are undenyable, with even it's name being a mixture of "qua qua" (the brazilian onomatopoeia for the sound that ducks make) and "carnaval" (the portuguese word for carnival). With the portuguese being the ones that brought the crested duck do Brazil, quaxly can still be a crested duck while being from a region inspired by Brazil (one thing does not exclude the other). Now, because the crested duck is not native to Brazil, a regional "original" form of quaxly, quaxwell and/or quaquaval could still exist in a region inspired by the east indies (much like galarian zigzagoon being the original zigzagoon). But as far as the current quaquaval, it makes a lot more sense for it to be brazilian, especially since the connections it has to the brazilian carnival are stronger (at least with quaquaval) than the ones with the crested duck.
@@matheuscastro990 Like... it can have been brought to Paldea from the East Indies and then brought to a Brazilian (South American region, where it regained its original Quaquaval form). Wouldn't it be funny if we get a regional form for Quaxly/Quaquaval inspired by an Asian region Legends Game, Johto perhaps.
12:04 Carnivine can be found in the Crimson Mirelands in Legends Arceus
I'm not listening to nine separate arguments for starters alone, especially when Hisui's starters also came from other regions, despite also being found in the wild in Hisui. They're native to the region of their origin games, especially if you've got people talking about the anime in the comments.
i think you can catch carnivine in the route west of pastoria city? the route that connects pastoria to the pokémon mansion
You see the entire togepi line in the hisui region in the wild or at least I did it contradicted the dex
1:24 the device goes off near Misty because she’s holding togepi
Just realized there was a huge missed opportunity to give Geeta a Copperajah in her team.
Thank you for the Diddy Kong Racing music in the background 2:00
It’s also a little bit more confusing with jigglypuff by the fact that scream tail exist since that means that jigglypuff must have been on planet earth (or whatever the Pokémon planet is called) for a very long time
Yeah, I think JigglyPuff/Scream Tail came from Area Zero in Paldea.
While this is true FOR NOW, we haven’t had any DLC for SV yet & there’s a lot of speculation surrounding the Paradox pokemon that suggests they aren’t past/future pokemon since the Time Machine isn’t a Time Machine at all, but a machine that manifests dreams and whatever your imagination can come up with. However all of this is just speculation for now until we get DLC.
I don't think anything in the Occulture magazine can really be taken as objective fact or is meant to be. The Paradox Pokémon and Occulture are based on cryptids and the exaggerated and unbelievable stories published by paranormal magazines. Even the names of Paradox Pokémon are similar to cryptids, being descriptors of their appearance with names like Great Tusk and Roaring Moon while we have cryptids in real life named things like Bigfoot and Mothman.
I think the great marsh is practically the same as the safari zone but not lore wise.
Gible is found in the desert in ORAS after the box legendary is defeated/caught so gible being a rare hoenn mon works for me.
Metagross is found in the great chasm in unova so i can see beldum being from there and its said the chasm is dangerous which is why theyre rare, no one goes there.
Mr. Mime being from kalos, reflection cave is cool. Makes sense since kalos is close to galar where theres a regional mr mime.
I think safari pokemon are probably pokemon that went near extinct in their own regions. So Scyther, Kangashan and e.t.c . I think they are native in Kanto but they went almost extinct there. Same for Lapras
solid theory's my man, good video . we like all dobbs video
It might be reconned but technically all Johto mons are foreign to johto. Since technically they’re are the only “newly discovered” Pokémon in canon every other gen moved along like those Pokémon always been there
Tauros also, may be from Paldea due the three different species that already lived there.
Tauros is not native to Paldea because all three of their forms are called breeds: Combat Breed, Aqua Breed and Blaze Breed. So that alone already suggests they are bred from other Tauros forms.
This is very well done yals theories are really interesting and make you think
Great video Dobbs. Keep up the great work. Love your videos and personality.
Also I think that beldum is native to the Giant Chasm in Unova
Always thought that the OG starters had a more exotic, tropical feel than a lot of the other Pokémon from gen 1
I mean the beldum line might be from unova as well since you can catch wild metangs in the giant casm in b2w2
Misty wasn’t the alien, Togepi was
BIG disagree with Murkrow. And this also includes Misdreavus. My theory is that they both migrated to kanto/johto later on. Which is why you can’t find Mukrow in red and blue. And I believe they migrated from Sinnoh where these pokemon are plentyful and it’s easier to find their evolution stones.
Houndour as well, I am certain is from either Kalos or Paldea
And Slugma is most likely from Hoenn.
Yeah... its hard to actually pinpoint an actual native region for Water and Flying types and Pokemon that can float, considering they aren't landlocked compared to other Pokemon.
Like, you can make that same case for Pokemon that can turn into Water types (For example Eevee can be native to Galar or Paldea, considering those are the only regions where they can be found, but if we look at locations, Eevee appears at more locations in Paldea than in Galar, especially with the Eeveelutions as well, which you can only catch in one location in the base game, so Eevee is probbaly native to Paldea, but Vaporeon swam to Galar and that is why the line also exists there).
Murkrow are actually more plentiful in Paldea than in Sinnoh though. In Sinnoh, Murkrow only appears in the Lost Tower and Eterna Forest, while in Paldea, Murkrow appears in three of the four provinces in multiple area''s. Another point to add is that Murkrow is based on the Carrion Crow, which can be found in Iberia. Not to speak about Paldea actually being the only region you can find Honckrow in multiple provinces and area's and Honckrow also has the Europe inspiration, being based on the hooded crow.
Misdreavus is most likely native to Paldea as well, since Paldea yet again being the region where its the most abundant in locations, as well as its connection to Flutter Mane.
Sizzlipede is only in ONE area in Galar, not all over the place. Raid Dens do not count since those are totally random and not on a set encounter pattern.
I don't agree about Great Marsh being the same as Safari Zone. I think it is more like a nature preserve.
Okay, hear me out: all four of Raikou, Entei, Suicune, *and* Ho-Oh aren’t native to Johto. Yes, even with the whole Burned Tower incident. The real-world inspiration for all four Legendary Pokémon comes from Chinese origin, and it’s possible that the Pokémon that died in the Burned Tower were from an undiscovered China-themed region before being reincarnated by Ho-Oh, who itself can make a case for only roosting in Johto and not actually being from there.
As for why all of the Johto Legendaries (except Lugia; remember, it was designed specifically for the movie originally) are from a different place and why Gen 2 isn’t Chinese themed: that’s probably just a represent consequence of video game history in the country.
The only regions Lapras aren't in would be Kanto, Hoenn, and Paldea, and in Ultra Moon's Dex entry, there are now more of them
I think Lapras is from Galar natively because of its Loch Ness monster and the reason you can also find it in the wild in the most location. It being a Water type, probably means it migrated to the other regions and sought out the locations it felt the most comfortable in.
a lot of those made sense, but, i still think the quaxly line are native to brazil. it's final form sambas and that dance, as far as i know, comes from rio's carnival which is in brazil.
If Island Scan is a viable way to determine a Pokemon is native to a region, then why not also Pokemon encountering features such as PokeRadar? They're used to get Pokemon don't naturally spawn to become catchable. So what makes one an indicator of region of origin while the others don't?
I think Yungoos and Gumshoos are actually from Paldea as it’s newly added dex entries that we haven’t gotten since Alola don’t state anything about it being foreign to Paldea unlike Alola which is a first for this line.
True. And Rattata aren't there either, so they don't need pest control, meaning its easier to take Yungoos away from their.
Bro this was craY
Drink every time Dobbs says pokemon
Actually, Oswald's device was a toy. After Misty broke it, he mentioned submitting cereal box tops to mail order it
You can also get eevee in gen 4 during outbreaks
Can't believe I missed the shiny zeraora event
He missed kubfu and urshifu for gen 8, it literally mentions that it is from a distant region in it's pokedex entry
How about the Forces of Nature?
They clearly are out of place in Unova. Japanese deities in a region not based on a japanese region. It's pretty obvious that they're from either Kanto, Johto, Hoenn or Sinnoh (probably Sinnoh if we look at Legends).
And the Treasures of Ruin too. What are chinese relics doing in Spain?
I thought that too! But on the official Sword and Shield website it states that Kubfu’s original home is Galar, so I took them out of the video last minute
I was wonder about the pokemon with no area and this helped
I planning to make a fake legends game in the future based on hoenn and centered around deoxys and pokerus
so explimations for starmie and togepi will be very helpful in making ancient forms
It's curious that only 2 of the paradox pokemon (future ones at that) are listed to not be from the pokemon world. The next question would also become: What about the remaining paradox pokemon? I don't think any of them were mentioned, so i'm assuming they're from the revealed generations nation? But then the future versions become technical questions. Are they from the original region that their forms are based on? Or Are they from the region they were made in?
The Great Marsh appears to have been built over an existing ecosystem so it's very likely the Sinnoh Pokemon found there are native.
i wouldnt really count island scan. iirc they literally established the island scan calls pokemon NOT native to alola
The gen 5 Zorua was thought to be the same one from the movie since you have to show celebi
And the Zoroark is his mother, since she can be unlocked with a shiny Legendary Beast.
Mime Jr. debuted in the 4th Generation, meaning it can't come from the Odd Egg in the 2nd Generation games.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Manaphy a child of Kyogre, created by it in the Emerald manga?
The manga is yet another canon and continuity that differs from both the games and anime.
In the gaming canon, you get an Egg after beating the first Ranger game.
Dunno if its already said: but Lapras is actually available every Friday not Wednesday
How is it that you’re playing 1st gen with color pallete from 2nd gen? Footage from 5:43 and at other various timestapms.
They might not be from Alola but love them like they were especially the cosmog and UB
One thing that’s confused me. You use the legends arceus Pokémon to help back native sinoh Pokémon, or help figure out such as the gen 4 starters, however carnivine is in the wild in legends arceus so how does that work?
the machine from the begining was detecting the fairy type! :O
When I read Quaxly’s Pokédex entry, I thought about if it came from a Brazil-based region because of how Quaquaval is based on Carneval dancers. Then I thought what if Fuecoco came from a Mexico-based region. Idk where Sprigatito would be imported from, though.
A European Spanish region maybe?
@@TeaPawt So the only one native to paldea? Since its based on spain.
From Mexico too
I vaguely remember reading that Fuecoco is from the Philippines while Sprigatito is from Mexico, and the third from Brazil all of which were Iberian colonies in the past.
@@Ivashankoeh, but fuecoco's face is similar to a sugar skull, which is a mestizo mexican origin. Plus, all peppers originated from the americas, and mexico has many, many mythos of cryptid crocodilians. Considering Sprigatito's design influences are of a Jester, one who can put on a show to kings and masters of illusion, and considering the french "mascara" was taken from the spanish word for "mask", I think Sprigatito is either from Paldea, and *maybe* Galar or Kalos, but I think its less likely.
It sort of feels like the starter Pokemon were bred in captivity on some island where all the regional Professors vacation on, and they each take three back with them to their home regions. The island is probably in or near Alola, and that's why they appear so regularly there
Whenever they appear in the wild elsewhere, they're probably the descendants of the ones who've escaped, been abandoned or lost and have bred with others of their kind in similar situations
1:30 The alien detector is clearly detecting fairies. It detects Misty as an alien because she's carrying Togepi.
Carnivine can be found in the wild in legends arceus so it is definitively from sinnoh
i always thought that the ralts line might be native to either sinnoh or kalos because of how much easier they are to find
"There are no Jungles in the Galar Region"
The Glimwood Tangle: am I a joke to you?
That is Galar
@@Abyss_WaIker Still my point stands
Very interesting and informative video as always.
“Affa sapphire, undabbitedly true.” You could do well with an editor, homie. 🤙🏻
My opinion for Farfetch'd is that it's from Johto. It can be found there.
