    This is my favourite fan region, as a big fan of Greek mythology, I think the references and inspirations are fun to guess. --Ladorber and Treelagon are based on Ladon, the dragon who guards the Garden of the Hesperides and the golden apples.
    --Peavnos is also a nod to Hera, since the peacock is her sacred animal.
    --Dafnos is a nod to Daphne, Apollo's intended lover who was turned into a tree to escape him.

    Owlejesty and Destrondor are really cool, looking at the dichotomy of the war gods (hence being fighting), Athena being about warfare and strategy (Psychic being able to predict and counter the enemy’s attacks) and Ares being about actual war and the destruction, so being Dark.

  • @jfb173jb
    @jfb173jb 2 года назад +8

    You might look up a bit more mythology. Treelagon is based on the guardian of the garden of hesperides, Ladon. And the crab claws on the Cancer mon are referencing the actual symbol for Cancer.
    Also Herakles and Hercules are the same hero in myth. The former is Greek spelling/pronunciation, while the latter is the Roman variant. The Roman version is more widespread and known due to...... Well we can all guess. And Dafnos is a reference to Daphne; who is normally associated with a variety of nymphs and dryads. Hence her typing.
    Cyclophem's typing meanwhile might relate to the fact that cyclops are renowned metal workers and smiths. They were the ones who made Zeus's thunderbolts. Though the stick and last part of the name probably have to do with Polyphemus. The cyclops who trapped Odysseus and his crew in his cave. And was blinded by a pointed stick shoved into his eye.

    - Palladwine may be a portmanteau of palladium and wine; palladium is a term assigned to anything, usually some kind of sacred relic or icon, that would provide protection/safety, particularly in the context of a large population like a city, nation, or ethnicity
    - the shape of Crabier and Glaciancer are more likely a reference to the shape of the astrological symbol for Cancer, ♋︎, which looks like a 6 and a 9 tilted to the side
    - the Caduceus is the twin-snake staff of Hermes. Hermes' Roman counterpart, Mercury, is the ruling planet of Gemini, which was probably the inspiration to make the Gemini mon the twin snakes. the Caduceus, however, is not typically a medical symbol; the reason people often mistake this is because the true medical symbol is the similar-looking Rod of Asclepius, which has no wings and only one serpent around it. Asclepius is the god of medicine; Hermes is the god of heralds, travelers, merchants, orators, and thieves
    - Taurus is an earth sign; the fire signs are Aries, Leo, and Saggitarius
    - Triseidon also incorporates Poseidon's hippocampi, the merhorses that pulled his chariot and are the basis of the scientific genus name for seahorses
    - Owlejesty's fighting secondary type is probably a nod to Athena, whose symbol is an owl, who was a goddess of wisdom but also could kick ass since her wisdom included the purview of tactical warfare
    - Menelao might be a reference to Menelaus, a Spartan king involved in the Trojan war
    - Cassiopeia is the name of the mother of Andromeda, a princess that Perseus saves (and later marries)
    - Learte may be a reference to Laertes, the father of the hero Odysseus
    - Urania is one of the divine muses, and held dominion over the field of astronomy
    - Circe is a demigoddess who was a powerful enchantress that held her crush Odysseus hostage for a year and a half and also poisoned Scylla and turned her into a sea monster
    - Castor and Pollux are the twin demigods born from an egg (Zeus sired them as a swan) who are the mythological figures behind the constellation Gemini
    - Cassandra is the name of a Trojan priestess who was cursed to utter true prophecies but never believed (she told basically everyone that their actions would lead to the Trojan War)
    - Enea may be a reference to Aeneas, a Trojan royal who was said to be the ancestor of Romulus and Remus in Roman mythos (the Julian line or Roman emperors trace their ancestry to him) and also the ancestor of British legendary kings (Arthurian legends trace him to Aeneas' grandson); PS Enea was another name for Europe at the time

    This was great! Pokemon fit perfectly with the Greek Mythology theme, and I liked the trainers and Elites as well. I know the champion has the same name as the 7th Kalos Gym leader - but we can have another Olympia - they repeat names for characters in the anime. Too bad we didn't see the criminal organization of the game - then again that might have been covered on the original channel. Props all around.

    2. Harpiezar (Flying/Fighting) (nickname pending)
    3. Treelagon (Grass/Dragon) (nickname would be Sage, for his connection to nature, Naruto reference OR Ladon, the dragon that guards the Golden Apples in the Garden of the Hesperides)
    4. Electydra (Electric/Dragon) (nickname would be Ghidorah, obviously)

    Doing this reply at the 10:30 mark without glancing at other comments cause well I had a thought that would be totally cool and I don't wanna wait till the end to see how plausible it may be.
    The Presence of a Aquarius pokemon makes me wonder... 8 gyms + 5 Elite 4 members ( 4+ champ) = 13...
    Each of the 13 could feature one of the 13 signs on thier team as an ace
    Aquarius
    Cancer
    Virgo
    Aries
    Taurus
    etc... with 13 being Ophiucus the snake bearer
    of cours ethe only real issue is... fire cow starter which likely means Taurus inspired pokemon is the fire starter though Flint did rock Infernape so we cant rule out the idea of a gym leader or E4 using a starter heck Gardenia used turtwig, though i'm not sure if Infernape was Flint's Ace or not.
    Just saying itd be a fun idea and now to resume the vid and see if the other signs show up.

    Leoxin and Chemerion actually more based on Chimera. You can tell because of the snake tail. Manticores have scorpion stingers for tails and typically (from what I’ve seen) have almost dragon like wings. Sorry if this came off as rude, I’m just fascinated my Chimeras. Usually they also have a second head that’s a goat, but I guess not this one.

    I was thinking of making a region based off of Ancient Greece. The region's name is Olympia, and the Games' names are Pokemon Light and Dark. the fire starter is a phoenix, the water starter is a hydra and the grass starter is a hippalectryon (half-horse (front) and half-rooster (back), including the tail and wings). The legendary Pokemon are Chaos, Apollo, and Erebus. Chaos created Apollo and Erebus (the god of light, art and music, and the god of the shadows and darkness) and it depends on which game you get which legendary you get.
    The gym leaders are the Greek gods; Artemis (Normal), Poseidon (Water), Apollo (Fire), Athena (Psychic), Ares (Fighting), Hestia (Rock), Hephaestus (Steel), Zeus (Electric).
    that is all I have done (sadly)
