Grass types are probably 1) plants that became sentient and evolved (in the real life way, not the Pokemon way) eyes and ears and legs to become more animal-like. 2) animals that evolved (again, in the real life way) chlorophyll and leaves to take advantage of energy provided by the sun in times of food scarcity. Both can be true at the same time for different Pokemon
Well actually there is more proof of this theory where animals evolved over time Growlithe is another example but for fire type pokemon because it looks like a normal dog but I swear in the Pokedex it said it has a heat resistant coat.
@@Fruit_Shark_in_the_microwave Exactly, these are all creatures that had the ability to evolve in a magical way (hence them being called Magical Creatures in the past during the Arceus movie). Grass-types likely developed more druidic magic to better blend with and hide in forests (primarily) for protection, survival (photosynthesis), or hunting.
I actually looked up Oddish on the Pokémon Wiki and it says this about it: "If anyone pulls at Oddish's leaves and tries to uproot it while it is buried underground, Oddish will react by shrieking in a horrible voice." This means that it is possible that Oddish _is_ based on a Mandrake. Proof: pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Oddish Granted, Wikipedia is the best source of information, but still.
This is probably more of a case of convergent evolution, they seem to almost be animals that have evolved the traits typically associated with plants, this can be seen in Leafeon, in that it evolved from an animal yet has gained properties more similar to a plant
I’ve always wondered the implications of being a vegetarian in the Pokémon world. Like there’s sentient cherries. That alone would terrify me if I went to the store. Not sure if that bag of them are Pokémon, regular cherries or dead Pokémon cherries Crazy world
Molly O'Kami lmao then what is better? eating the flesh of a Lopunny as in rabbits, miltank? Or any of the fish Pokémon any more morally complicated than any of the plant Pokémon?
Actually it's shown in the anime several times how they roast Magikarps or eat Slowpokes tails (i think even the pokedex states that "it's a delicacy"). Same would go for Tauros and Miltank both producing milk and being meat.
for ferroseed and ferrothorn they are seeds that absorbs the mineral in caves and use it to create a protective layer and for kartana its just paper as sharp as a blade
They're animal hosts of parasitic plant life. Duh. In all seriousness, it's probably a form of symbiosis where animals get advantages from having plants on them, like grass-type moves and solar energy.
Symbiosis can be backed up by looking at the more Dinosaurlike Pokemon that can be found in the wild. A similar extinction event likely occurred, and now we can only find them either hidden away deep within caves like Aggron and Tyranitar or in symbiosis with plants like Meganium and Venasaur.
Then what does that make Bounsweet and Steenee? They clearly have a fruit membrane like a mangosteen... and a stem on their heads like they grew from a tree. I guess camouflage could be an answer, but why does the dex indicate it (or at least its sweat for some reason) can be used for juice?
Most likely they're animals with plant like properties, meant for offensive and defensive abilities, like camouflage. The "Vine whip" could just be tentacles the pokemon keep hidden

Mar Fung yeah that is right except in respiration ATP isn't created in the process just converted from ADP and a phosphate what is created is the energy needed for that conversion. And with plants, if they get more light than their compensation point, when light stimulates enough photosynthesis that the CO2 used equals the CO2 produced and same with O2, it will then release the extra O2 and water.

Sorry to buzzkill but Grass Pokemon are not plants or animals. They are Pokemon. An entirely separate form of life. Many of them have animal like traits. Many plant like traits. Many Object of ghostly traits. But all of them are still Pokemon.
Technically, plants feel pain but not the same way as animals. Example, the corn plant will emit odorant messages to wasps who will lay their eggs in the caterpillars who eats the corn plant's leaves. By the way, some grass types are not plants but they're fungi (mushrooms) like Shroomish or algae (kelp or seaweed) (protists) like Tangela.
@@jakobingersoll2946 You say that as if the medium employed makes some kind of difference as to how we should view the communication. Messaging is messaging.
blarg2429 Sorry if I was unclear. What you’re saying is kinda what I was getting at. ...It was like 3:00 AM or something like that; I was almost too tired to form a coherent sentence.
Looking at all of the grass type Pokemon I would say it depends whether they are plant-like animals or animal-like plants. There seem to be three categories that all grass types fit in to, animals that exist in some sort of symbiotic relationship with plants, animals with plant-like traits, and plants with animal-like traits. The first category is easy to spot as it includes creatures such as Bulbasaur, Turtwig and the infamous case of the paras line. These pokemon appear to have some plant form (and yes, I know fungi aren't plants) growing on them and it seems plausible that most of these pokemon would survive for some time if the plant were to be removed. The second is pokemon like leafeon and Rowlet, which are clearly animals, but they also exhibit some traits like plants, such as the ends of appendages being leaves or conducting photosynthesis such as Lcokstin mentioned. The last would include creatures like victreebel or cherrim, which seem to function so similarly to actual plants that I find it hard to believe that they simply look like plants. tl;dr are Grass Types plants or animals? it can be either, depends which Grass Type.
Well we know there's plants, animals, and pokemon in this world, only makes sense that there would be plant-animal pokemon. I feel like pokemon exist on a spectrum between plant/animal/crystalline/non-corporeal, and any pokemon would be a combination of or focus on the four extremes.
I vote that they're neither plant or animal because none of them are in Plantae or Animalia. They are completely separate from Earth's only known abiogenesis, thus can't be in any familyt of Earth's family tree. They merely have characteristics that are familiar to us.
Well that only leaves Fungi. Since mushrooms are closer to animals than to plants anyway, I guess we could just call a good of amount of Grass types Fungi and stop there
@@AtomTomZeitalter It doesn't have to be something that exists in our world. Plantae, Animalia or Fungi are just the names we've given to certain groups of living organisms that share some basic traits, because that's how life happened to evolve in our world. The world of Pokemon includes things like sentient rocks and ghosts than can reproduce, so their classifications for living things would certainly be much different.
Well that’s not completely true there are animals in the real world capable of photosynthesis such as the spotted salamander, bacteria and some sea slug I can’t remember the name of. So it’s not like a hypothetical more diverse set of photosynthetic animals can’t exist. And that’s ignoring things that involve messing with a creatures dna such as making glowing cats are goats that produce spider silk.
Whether they be plants or not, they aren't vegan. Vegans don't eat animals not just for a "better diet" but also for ethical reasons. They don't eat animals because the animal was brutally slaughtered just for consumption. In the Pokemon World, things like Oddish and Shroomish have sentience, can speak with eachother, and have emotions. A vegan would never eat a Grass-type pokemon. And I love how Maxill is just Lockstin lampshading himself lol-
Water isn’t alive. Plants do feel sensations but none they can be expressed in a way that humans can understand. Also, we are built primarily to eat vegetation and animal protein as a secondary. If you can’t eat one, you have to eat the other, ethics won’t change that.
@@dionjones6300 No, we're distinctly built to eat a balance of meat and vegetation, to the point where entirely subsisting on only one is _extremely_ difficult and can easily lead to malnutrition, not to mention we don't have the facilities to entirely take advantage of either. We struggle to eat bones and stuff, but we also struggle to chew and break down plants with dense cellulose that other primary herbivores can easily deal with. Which makes sense, considering all of our closest evolutionary ancestors are pretty unambiguously omnivores - and I mean, when your claims to fame are problem solving, dexterity, and tool use, it only make sense to evolve a diet that's basically whatever you can figure out won't kill you. The whole myth that humans are only secondarily carnivorous or somehow not carnivorous at all wasn't spread by anyone who really knows evolution or biology, because ask anyone who knows their stuff in either field and they'll instantly tell you that our teeth and digestive system completely contradict that.
"Your just a plant, what do you even do?" Nice Egoraptor callback I've always wondered what grass type pokemon eat in the wild... Like.. Do they eat grass? Isn't that cannibaistic?
Love your channel,but you said something a little wrong;Some plants that “eat” insects are only looking for Nitrogen,and they only receive food with the photosynthesis.The only plants that don’t do photosynthesis are the ones that aren’t essentially green;for example:Some parasite plants that actually steal the elaborated sap from other plants. Please like for him to see :)
Just adding to your comment that green is not actually a signal of photosynthesis, some have carotenoids, other things or plasts (not cloroplasts) that make them purple or other colors. Even a bark can photosynthetize, it's just that it usually isn't exposed to enough sunlight and that the stuff that makes it brown-ish has to be more predominant to both protect and sustain the tree itself ;D
Hey Lockstin, what would the "food chain" or "food web" look like in the Pokemon world? It has been stated in the Pokedex entries of one of the pidgy line up likes to hunt Magikarp.
Eevee can become literally water, and can possibly learns Growth (through an obscure event, but still.) Calling it an animal is going a little to fast.
After giving it some thought after watching the video, I will hypothesize that Grass Types might boil it down to one of two things. A) Grass Types are Plants that obtained Animalistic Qualities. B) Grass Types are Animals that gained Plant-like Qualities. Whether it was a means of natural selection to have some way to compete with other Pokemon types, or a method to "join the crowd" in order to be considered a Pokemon, I cannot say for sure. However, both sides ended up join the Grass type for various reasons, ultimately creating an entirely new type of plant/animal species hybrid (haven't thought of a name for it yet, hmm). Fascinating, the many ways of evolution in Pokemon that occur.
They could be like a hypothetical end point to an organism such as Elysia chlorotica, a type of Sea Slug that can photosynthesise due to stealing algal chloroplasts, which could potentially become a plant/animal hybrid.
If I remember correctly there is a type of sea slug, the emerald sea slug or Elysia chlorotica, that actually steal chlorplast from the algae they eat and even have (probably through horizontal gene transfer), the ability to use them efficiently to photynthesize. I think most, if not all the grassPokémon could function like that. Another thing, the different between plants and animals is not that animals move in reaction to stimuli and plants usually don't. The main different is that animals are capable of locomotion, or the movement by themselve of all the body, and plants aren't . All Grass type seem to be capable of locomotion, so that a big one against them being plants. I think the best comparison for Grass Poke could be Lichen, Lichen is a composite orgonism for by to different organism from two different kingdoms (either a bacteria or an algae and a fungi), but when they work together to form a lichen they have properties and abilities that they don't have when they are separate and even theeir biochemistry changes. Grass Pokémon could be a similar case,

You said it: They’re Pokémon
There was "are you kid or squid?" Now get ready for: "are you plant or animal?"
How many plant puns can you make in video? Well, i should get GROUNDED?! Or get cropped out of making these puns? Give me a break, im a FUNGI!!!! Someone... put... me out of my mistery!!!!! Or should i keep on Growing?
Shark bite 792 Now look...I'm a true pun master, you're a little sprout, nice try but the root of a good pun is deeper than just that! I'm more than pumpkin to point puns in every sentence I say, it may be a bit corny but that's just how I play the game~ The art of puns is pretty radish, dude~ You gotta cucumber out strong with a good attitude!
Now I wood join in your little pun war, bud I'm not gonna bark up the same tree. Bud you better peppare yourself for the next guy to reply to this. You're lucky I'm cotton doing sum'n else, so going all out is off the vege-table.
Wolfiyee Not a bad apple yourself, but there's not mushroom for me to make more puns but I'll try to squash some in. Now lettuce talk like gentlemen, I don't wanna full on fight. If this keeps going, we'll be up all nightshade.
Just stawk it already...
Luca Jenkins-Pugh Aww cmon, leaf us alone to our puns
1:56 well uhm thanks for that
Arceus is a plant confirmed
When I think about it now, a Gigamax plant type plant Pokémon in real life is real, GO RED WOOD TREE, USE ENEGRY BALL!!!
What about Pikmin, would they be considered plants, or animals?
Doop Fizzle I'm pretty sure they are canonically a hybrid but more plant
Sorry to buzzkill but Grass Pokemon are not plants or animals. They are Pokemon. An entirely separate form of life. Many of them have animal like traits. Many plant like traits. Many Object of ghostly traits. But all of them are still Pokemon.
Technically, plants feel pain but not the same way as animals. Example, the corn plant will emit odorant messages to wasps who will lay their eggs in the caterpillars who eats the corn plant's leaves. By the way, some grass types are not plants but they're fungi (mushrooms) like Shroomish or algae (kelp or seaweed) (protists) like Tangela.
Plus the fact that that "Newly Mowed Lawn Smell" is actually the grass's screams of agony and terror Food for Thought
Peliha .ip ‘T’s all just chemical messaging.
@@jakobingersoll2946 You say that as if the medium employed makes some kind of difference as to how we should view the communication. Messaging is messaging.
blarg2429 Sorry if I was unclear. What you’re saying is kinda what I was getting at.
...It was like 3:00 AM or something like that; I was almost too tired to form a coherent sentence.
Can't wait for the "every grass type explained" video.
Looking at all of the grass type Pokemon I would say it depends whether they are plant-like animals or animal-like plants. There seem to be three categories that all grass types fit in to, animals that exist in some sort of symbiotic relationship with plants, animals with plant-like traits, and plants with animal-like traits. The first category is easy to spot as it includes creatures such as Bulbasaur, Turtwig and the infamous case of the paras line. These pokemon appear to have some plant form (and yes, I know fungi aren't plants) growing on them and it seems plausible that most of these pokemon would survive for some time if the plant were to be removed. The second is pokemon like leafeon and Rowlet, which are clearly animals, but they also exhibit some traits like plants, such as the ends of appendages being leaves or conducting photosynthesis such as Lcokstin mentioned. The last would include creatures like
victreebel or cherrim, which seem to function so similarly to actual plants that I find it hard to believe that they simply look like plants.
tl;dr are Grass Types plants or animals? it can be either, depends which Grass Type.
The ones that can learn Spore fit none of your categories.
13:00 "I don't mean in that way"
Yeah you did, otherwise you wouldn't have used it as an example in the first place

I loved the plants that could just like move in towards itself when something touched it, they’re so cool
5:40 the smell of freshly cut grass is actually a distress signal
Another weird nature thing
Well we know there's plants, animals, and pokemon in this world, only makes sense that there would be plant-animal pokemon. I feel like pokemon exist on a spectrum between plant/animal/crystalline/non-corporeal, and any pokemon would be a combination of or focus on the four extremes.
We can't eat steenee we must hug them instead
I vote that they're neither plant or animal because none of them are in Plantae or Animalia. They are completely separate from Earth's only known abiogenesis, thus can't be in any familyt of Earth's family tree. They merely have characteristics that are familiar to us.
But there are regular animals in Pokemon too, so they can't be that separate can they?
Well that only leaves Fungi. Since mushrooms are closer to animals than to plants anyway, I guess we could just call a good of amount of Grass types Fungi and stop there
@@AtomTomZeitalter It doesn't have to be something that exists in our world. Plantae, Animalia or Fungi are just the names we've given to certain groups of living organisms that share some basic traits, because that's how life happened to evolve in our world. The world of Pokemon includes things like sentient rocks and ghosts than can reproduce, so their classifications for living things would certainly be much different.
sooooo a fungus? virus? bacteria?
Well that’s not completely true there are animals in the real world capable of photosynthesis such as the spotted salamander, bacteria and some sea slug I can’t remember the name of. So it’s not like a hypothetical more diverse set of photosynthetic animals can’t exist. And that’s ignoring things that involve messing with a creatures dna such as making glowing cats are goats that produce spider silk.
13:18 What did he expect? It's the first pre-evolution of Vileplume...
“It is really a Pokémon by Pokémon thing”
So...
Grass type explained?
Maxill censor sound: 1st is chikorita, 2nd is gengar and 3rd is purugly, right?
Skull boy's animation's getting better.
It's still awful and annoying though.
Well, I guess they are not plants. And I guess they are not animals. They are just.. pokemon.
Well if you want a reasonable Pokemon based question I have one.
How are ghost Pokemon made?
5:40 use this when a vegan says "i only eat things that cant feel pain"
Whether they be plants or not, they aren't vegan. Vegans don't eat animals not just for a "better diet" but also for ethical reasons. They don't eat animals because the animal was brutally slaughtered just for consumption. In the Pokemon World, things like Oddish and Shroomish have sentience, can speak with eachother, and have emotions. A vegan would never eat a Grass-type pokemon.
And I love how Maxill is just Lockstin lampshading himself lol-
What about a dead Grass Type that died naturally?
I heard somewhere in the internet that plants, and even WATER can feel emotions.
Does it mean drinking water is cruel then?
Water isn’t alive. Plants do feel sensations but none they can be expressed in a way that humans can understand. Also, we are built primarily to eat vegetation and animal protein as a secondary. If you can’t eat one, you have to eat the other, ethics won’t change that.
@@dionjones6300 No, we're distinctly built to eat a balance of meat and vegetation, to the point where entirely subsisting on only one is _extremely_ difficult and can easily lead to malnutrition, not to mention we don't have the facilities to entirely take advantage of either. We struggle to eat bones and stuff, but we also struggle to chew and break down plants with dense cellulose that other primary herbivores can easily deal with. Which makes sense, considering all of our closest evolutionary ancestors are pretty unambiguously omnivores - and I mean, when your claims to fame are problem solving, dexterity, and tool use, it only make sense to evolve a diet that's basically whatever you can figure out won't kill you.
The whole myth that humans are only secondarily carnivorous or somehow not carnivorous at all wasn't spread by anyone who really knows evolution or biology, because ask anyone who knows their stuff in either field and they'll instantly tell you that our teeth and digestive system completely contradict that.
@@KyubiBubi They don't eat naturally dead animals either because of a better diet and whatnot.

Ya it should be another video for each individual Pokémon
5:45 the term you were likely looking for when talking about the acacia/mimosa is thigmotropism.
I was wondering the same thing like 3 hours ago while playing Ivysaur in Smash.
Talk about TIMING

ivanmegafanboy INDEED!

"Your just a plant, what do you even do?"
Nice Egoraptor callback
I've always wondered what grass type pokemon eat in the wild... Like.. Do they eat grass? Isn't that cannibaistic?
Some can just be animals covered in plants
Plant fan fact: that Monstera plant that you talked about is called "adam's ribs" in Brazil
...
This question makes my head hurt
I knew a guy who had 1 them mimosa plants in small green house, would show off to new guests how leaves reacted. Remarkable.
Love your channel,but you said something a little wrong;Some plants that “eat” insects are only looking for Nitrogen,and they only receive food with the photosynthesis.The only plants that don’t do photosynthesis are the ones that aren’t essentially green;for example:Some parasite plants that actually steal the elaborated sap from other plants.
Please like for him to see :)
Just adding to your comment that green is not actually a signal of photosynthesis, some have carotenoids, other things or plasts (not cloroplasts) that make them purple or other colors. Even a bark can photosynthetize, it's just that it usually isn't exposed to enough sunlight and that the stuff that makes it brown-ish has to be more predominant to both protect and sustain the tree itself ;D
Thanks ,I actually know that haha.I was just speaking in general(or most predominantly).But Thanks for the implementation man :D
"If you cut a sunflora, will it not bleed?"
what about pikmin?
is it the same case as grass pokemon or are they different?
"I Am The Lockstin. I Speak For The Trees."

Jigglypuff this is a false statement
I’m scared now.
Hey Lockstin, what would the "food chain" or "food web" look like in the Pokemon world? It has been stated in the Pokedex entries of one of the pidgy line up likes to hunt Magikarp.
They’re Pokemon obviously
Animals plants? Nah there Pokemon done
But what if grass type Pokemon were......
FUNGI??!?!??!!!
Fungi aren't plants
Also in plants Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. The Chloroplast synthesize Glucose and send it to the Mitochondria to create energy.
00:07 where I’m at ahah hi Lockstin
Please never stop making Pokemon videos, thank you, you're great, it's easy to tell that you put the utmost effort into your content.

Makes sense.
1:39 compromising? Or comprising?
Comprising
@@Derpception he said "compromising"
I said bananaanananana because I can
Maybe they are just animals that do photosyntesis
Yes you mean in that way *Lenny face*
Eevee can become literally water, and can possibly learns Growth (through an obscure event, but still.) Calling it an animal is going a little to fast.
After giving it some thought after watching the video, I will hypothesize that Grass Types might boil it down to one of two things.
A) Grass Types are Plants that obtained Animalistic Qualities.
B) Grass Types are Animals that gained Plant-like Qualities.
Whether it was a means of natural selection to have some way to compete with other Pokemon types, or a method to "join the crowd" in order to be considered a Pokemon, I cannot say for sure. However, both sides ended up join the Grass type for various reasons, ultimately creating an entirely new type of plant/animal species hybrid (haven't thought of a name for it yet, hmm). Fascinating, the many ways of evolution in Pokemon that occur.
They could be like a hypothetical end point to an organism such as Elysia chlorotica, a type of Sea Slug that can photosynthesise due to stealing algal chloroplasts, which could potentially become a plant/animal hybrid.
You forgot the fungi.

I like the Steene in the thumbnail of this video. Steene looks cute with that smile
They Pokémon
They ain’t animals
*they pokemans*
If I remember correctly there is a type of sea slug, the emerald sea slug or Elysia chlorotica, that actually steal chlorplast from the algae they eat and even have (probably through horizontal gene transfer), the ability to use them efficiently to photynthesize. I think most, if not all the grassPokémon could function like that. Another thing, the different between plants and animals is not that animals move in reaction to stimuli and plants usually don't. The main different is that animals are capable of locomotion, or the movement by themselve of all the body, and plants aren't . All Grass type seem to be capable of locomotion, so that a big one against them being plants. I think the best comparison for Grass Poke could be Lichen, Lichen is a composite orgonism for by to different organism from two different kingdoms (either a bacteria or an algae and a fungi), but when they work together to form a lichen they have properties and abilities that they don't have when they are separate and even theeir biochemistry changes. Grass Pokémon could be a similar case,
