Love how they made an entire detective pokemon, just to be overshadowed by Pikachu doing it.
that darn rat strikes again
@@alecrutz6979 Bolt Strikes, even... wait no that's Zekrom-
It's always the damn rat !
@@LeilaCATWHON do you hate pikachu?Please don't🥺
@@user-tw3jm4sb3y I don't hate him, it was a joke.
Gumshoos’ ears being chipped combined with recent events really don’t help it.
I thought that was gonna be the reason they uploaded the video now 💀
@@Sturben-qn7ph same
I just realized that gumshoos' ear is clipped. The similarities keep coming
I think that's what Gator is hinting at 04:42 He just don't want to say it because it's too soon and not a thing to joke about.
I feel like many people, including me, didn’t noticed that until what happened recently
I guess we all just missed that.
@@beefjerky9787I mean it has a red circle around it…
Life imitates art
I literally *just* learned Gumshoos is based on a detective 💀
You need to know Ace Attorney hehe.
How?
Same
Me too 😂
Me too, this is the first time I hear this information
The chipped ears are so ironic now
Oh my god lol
Pokemon simpsons
Imagine if gumshoos had a little detective hat
I think that's what it's hair is meant to be. It resembles a beret.
@@dejinnthedjinn5311they should have made it a different color but considering how pokemon games and even the designs are sometimes design years in advance, this was just bad timing 😅
I was today years old when i learned that Gumshoos is based on a detective.
and that honchkrow is based on a mob boss
"Gumshoe" is an old term for a P.I. (private investigator).
As for Honchkrow it's a play on "head honcho" or a person in charge.
I enjoy these old terms being added to people's vocabulary.
It makes me feel less old. 😂
@@godknightomegaFor me, I thought that it was just a punny name. I never looked at how the fur could end up looking like a trench coat. Since to me, both Yungoos and Gumshoos literally just look like mongooses to me.
Named one of my Gumshoos in Pokemon GO Columbo after finding out what it was inspired by.
@@broidkanymore-zc4lthis Pokédex entry literally calls murkrow’s its cronies how’d you not know ?
In regards to your complaints about the yellow and the lack of noir looks, I think it came down to design focus.
Alongside the Gumshoos/Raticate - Detective versus Mob Boss rivalry, the other element of the real world thing is that when the mongoose was set loose in Hawaii to handle the rat population, they forgot that mongeese are diurnal and hunt in the day, while the rats came out at night. Thus, they used that to emphasize the time change between games, with Gumshoos in the Day and Raticate in the Night.
So yeah, Gumshoos HAD to be designed to function more in daytime, likely causing the peculiar color palette. I do hope it gets a new form though. I dig the mongoose pokemon ideas.
I think changing just the head (maybe to a darker brown) would be the best blend of both. The yellow would still be very prominent in the design while also making the hat motif more recognizable.
I think it's 'mongooses' because the plural 'geese' wasn't around when the plural was coined, but God mongeese sounds funny
I think maybe it should have been brighter colors- my immediate thought was that it should have been white or something, given that Alolan Ratata is mostly black?
It's kinda weird, cause you have contrasting ideas here: Mongeese being active during the day but also being a detective (which in pop culture are associated with night just as much as the criminals they investigate). They couldn't really hone on on one without sacrificing the other.
Aint no way Pokemon pulled a Simpsons!!!
Family Guy.
Also wrong Pokemon. You're thinking of Greedent.
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 what's the reference you're going for with Greedent? He's saying a Simpsons moment happened with chipped ear being reminiscent of recent events.
@@battle188883 Greedent has been compared to Peter Griffin multiple times.
Gumshoos don't look like Homer Simpson.
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 again that's not what they meant with Pokemon pulling a Simpsons. He was referring to the Simpsons' uncanny ability of predicting the future, which Pokemon seems to have done with the chip in the ear.
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740Simpsons predicted a lot of stuff so people use the simpson as a word for predicting
Why not make it a normal/fighting type? Fighting could be a reference to justice, like "I'm going to make justice with my own hands" and with some design tweaks, maybe it would fit
It would also be 4X effective on rattatas
It would make even more sense when you know some detectives have to defend themselves from people wanting revenge from solving a case or when they are investigating
It woulda have work if not for its signature abilty and would have to change that too.
Also given the type relation with Alolan Ratata/icate being Dark types would have been super flavorful.
I would've named mine Dick Gumshoos, if it weren't for the text limit and Gamefreak blocking inappropriate phrases.
Honestly, Richard would be a decent substitute
@@JohnDoe-ic3gtrichard wouldn’t have subsituted it. Dick Gumshoe is a character from ace attorney, not richard… also richard just makes the text limit problem worse
@@NintendoSegaGuys lol I just leaned into it and named mine MAGA
Dickshoos
I remember Tom Fawkes ran into that issue and compromised by naming it Deek Tracy
It feels like they were going for a ‘Sherlock’ style hat thing with the ‘hair’ but that doesn’t even fit the design of a noir detective. Other signifiers could be a cigarette/cigar in their mouths but we know Nintendo won’t allow that. Plus somehow a ‘good guy’ Pokémon looks more villainous than its counterpart or a Pokémon designed after a mob boss. Whole design just comes across half-baked.
Funny how you mention Gumshoos looking more villainous than Allolan Raticate. They may have been going for something of a "dirty cop" vibe for it since in real life the introduction of mongoose to Hawaii did more harm than good. Mongoose are primarily diurnal while rats are nocturnal, so when mongoose were released on the Hawaiian Islands, they turned their attention to the eggs and chicks of ground-nesting native birds and mostly ignored the rats they were brought over to control.
Personally I love the Yungoos Line, they're just goofy little guys with a permanent scowl and I love that they have resting angry face
I love the scowl, but imo they really don't need the bleach blonde, slicked back hairstyle 😂
Idk, they'd look good in like, any pale contrasting colour. Maybe it'd even be cute to chuck a little Sherlock hat reference in there, and give them grumpy, flat ears?
@@lilpetz500the hair is already a flat cap.
And it does not help that Gumshoos looks like *he was shot in the EAR!*
OH MY GOD
Remember when Jinx & Mr. Mime were controversial designs?
Looking back on it all Jynx is a no-brainer (but I was _just_ young enough to have no idea why her originally having a dark face was a bad idea (I always thought her OG design resembled Mr Popo) … but when has Mr Mime ever been controversial? Best as I can recall his only crime is being too creepily human-looking 😖😖😖
@@LadyLeomonHe has to be given an extra finger because four fingers is associated with Yakuza members
@@BJGvideos and I had *zero* clue about that until now because a lot of other Pokémon have 3 digits/claws (eg Charmander and Squirtle)
@@LadyLeomon I feel like I've heard your name before. like years ago...
@@BJGvideos I’ve had the same username since I joined RUclips, it’s possible … I’m mainly a Pokémon/Digimon fan, not sure if we crossed oaths before. Hope it was at least pleasant on your side 😅😅😅

Goes slipping through the cracks
These two gumshoos
Are picking up the slack
Oh god... they really do have the makings of the Pokemon versions of Rescue Rangers don't they?
Haiku
I guess Japan has different stereotypes for detectives than the US does
If it weren't for the name I'd have thought it was mob boss themed
Pokémon Masters didn’t even want to use em for the Solve the Case event
I mean, that's more that Gumshoos doesn't have a notable trainer associated with it.

_'Gumshoos: How One Pokémon Ruined Everything'_ So... what's the title ACTUALLY referring to here??
AI generated title
Exactly, with a title like that, i thought it was a funny parody video. It wasnt funny or a parody, so the title just sucks. Doesnt even relate to the video
He even says it in the video that it's not Pokemon that ruined everything, but everything that ruined the Pokemon, which is indeed true. I guess he wanted to keep the twist in the video only, but it's kinda weird
Rest in Peace Gumshoos. Never had a chance.
I genuinely loved Gumshoos when i played moon, the detective vibe came through eventually because of the name but I always got the vibe that Yungoos was like a little mischievous rascal that evolved into a matured delinquent gang leader, and that Gumshoos' hair was a pompadour to go with it's jacket look. Since discovering the detective inspiration, i now see Gumshoos as a private eye that was reformed from a delinquent lifestyle but still has rebel tendencies. Gumshoos was the first and only instance of a rodent pokemon that I kept in my team and took too the end of the game, his name was Johnny Bravo and I loved him dearly.
That's so cute ❤
Had the "hat" and chest fur been a different colour, none of the comparisons would've been made.
The only way to "save" this Pokémon now is giving it an evolution that completely removes the resemblances or a regional variant. But the memes are more likely to continue if the latter was applied.
Or to stop being a huge killjoy...
Ngl. It’d be funny if Yungoos and Gumshoos were introduced in Gen 5.
For the remakes.
People might have seen it was meant to be a detective via stake-out, but they would have to actually use gumshoos to find that out
I can't believe Will Smith slapped Chris Rock!
Blud had a large input delay
Is bro internet explorer?
Keep my gumshoos name out your damn mouth
Slowpoke is a pink Pokémon that resembles a cross between a salamander and a hippopotamus. It has vacant eyes that never seem focused, curled ears, and a rounded, tan muzzle. It has four legs, each of which ends in a single white claw. Its long, tapering tail has a white tip. This tail drips a sweet, sappy substance that is attractive to many species of fish. Slowpoke uses the tail as a fishing lure. The tail often breaks off, but it will grow back. Slowpoke tails are considered a delicacy and commonly used as a cooking ingredient: in Alola, they are often dried and used in home-cooked stews, while in Galar, they are smoked and packaged as a curry ingredient. Slowpoke is also known to dive underwater to hunt, but is often itself caught instead.
Slowpoke has a notoriously dim intellect and often forgets what it was doing. It takes a long time to respond to outside stimuli. For example, it can take up to five seconds to process pain and can take an entire day to notice when its tail has been bitten. Slowpoke is commonly found at the water's edge. In some places, it is believed that Slowpoke's yawn causes rain. This Pokémon is worshiped in those areas. Its vacant expression is said to help some people relax, whilst causing irritation to others. It is posited that those who lead hectic lives are most likely to become relaxed. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, researchers have debated if Slowpoke is either awake or asleep while it stands around doing nothing.[1]
Forms
Slowpoke has a regional form: Galarian Slowpoke.
Galarian Slowpoke's body is a slightly different shade of pink, and it has gained yellow colorations on its forehead and tail. This tail is always down and is said to have a spicy taste. Galarian Slowpoke's diet consists of eating spices. Much like its Kantonian counterpart, Galarian Slowpoke is known to relax on seashores and riverbanks without a care in the world. However, sometimes it will get a very sharp look in its eyes as if it is about to think of something tremendous, although it will quickly forget and return to its normal expression afterward.
It is believed that this behavior, along with the spicy taste of its tail, is a result of Galarica particles built up from its diet of native Galarica seeds affecting its brain and body.[2] This diet also affects Slowpoke's two different evolutions, including the Shellder that attaches to it, which is induced by either the Galarica Cuff or the Galarica Wreath. Due to the scent of the spice emanating from its tail, the Galarian Slowpoke often has difficulties while fishing. They can also be found in the Coastal Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Galar's regional life is simulated.
Evolution
Slowpoke evolves into either Slowbro or Slowking.
Galarian Slowpoke evolves into either Galarian Slowbro or Galarian Slowking.

@@NeonWasInUse THE FUCK 😭
Future Sight be crazy on this one😵💫
So that’s why it’s ears are clipped
Knowing Gumshoos is a detective he’s starting to look more like columbo somehow.
If the yellow fur on top looked more like Dick Tracky’s hat it would be better.
Crazy how a pokemon with 3 amazing abilities still struggles to find a niche even in ZU
That’s just the early route rodent(?) curse
a friend of mine said "guess someone missed a focus blast"
May Gumshoos and Inteleon never be a competitive match up...
@lilpetz500 that's just funny, imagine intelleon's snipe shot missed too lol
@@AryFemMtF you will never be a real woman
Gumshooes carried me in my normal Ultra Moon nuzlocke he carried the team! It became my favorite Pokemon after that.
Are you that one person who said Gumshoos was their favorite Pokémon in the 2020 poll?
Best thing about gumshoos is the shiny changes the yellow to pink, now it really is a GUMshoo :]
The President's day Pokemon commercial commercial at the end actually goes hard!
Personally, the things I'd change about Gumshoos are its stance(make it slouch forward with its arms out front), and the fur on its head. (Make it look more like a detective hat. Or have it slicked back instead of looking like a comb over)
LOL AYO, THE EAR
I was today years old when I learned that Honchkrow was themed on mob bosses. I assumed it was a wisened old mage or something
The presidential pokemon
How dare you say Gumshoos has an unpleasant appearance? My man is a cool detective!!
And to think it has trumps haircut
Alternative title: How One Pokémon Made The Series Great Again
3:10 mob boss? I was always given a wizard or witch vibe with that beard and broom tail, and with murkrow already having a very witch like appearance
Murkrow is like, a little bit of both. It's kind of like, the clever little line of resemblance between a witch hat and a stylish old hat a mobster would wear imo. (Like the real campy kind with the feather, think the old Joker)
honchkrow = head honcho
@@lilpetz500 ohhh I like that!
Yeah, Murkrow has the broomstick tail, I was confused when he said that too
Let's make alola great again
Look up a Honey Badger if you don't believe real animals can have that hair-like pattern.
Ever since gumshoos was announced I never knew it was based on detectives till now.
Wtf, he was just supposed to be a detective pokémon
I seriously couldn't tell that Gumshoos was a detective. I honestly lost it when the Alolan Rattatas and Raticates got trounced, though.
Honestly, my Gumshoos kicked butt in my first Alola playthrough, and linchpinned some key battles for me. I really like the Pokemon, and I think it's theming is still appreciated compared to the prior early route mammal/rodent Pokemon. Diggersby would've been great if Huge Power was a normal ability for it and not it's hidden ability, but Gumshoos was the first one that I felt had at least something of a fun theme and delivered a useful Pokemon for the whole playthrough without needing a hidden ability for the first time. I've since loved Greedent and Oinkaloin, while not my favorite, had a lot of potential and the gender variant evolution is a fun gimmick. Though, I think Gumshoos and Greedent were the peak of the early game normal types. Again, honorable mention to diggersby if you can get one early on with it's hidden ability
Honestly i think juat switching the yellow in gumshoos' design to black or grey would get the design intent across better. More common colors for a hat, and, like you said, a nice nod to classic noir detective films
Yeah, it should have been black and gray.
Well… This Pokémon ruined
I really like the lore, it so perfect but the meme. To me it funny as bad it is but wow. Even the sniper intelion. This needs regional variants afterall they are imported.
To me I never understand the detective, I saw as more rival mafia boss. Orgianized Dark VS Organized normal.
Also Lillie for Aether Foundation President 2024
💀 I love your love for these old commercials
Completely different but, as someone who grew up in Hawaii, the introduction of mongoose here was absolutely catastrophic. It turns out mongoose are mostly diurnal (daytime hunters) and opportunistic as hell and will eat anything that moves. Rats on the other hand are mostly nocturnal. So while yes, mongoose do eat rats.... The two rarely encounter each other.
Mongoose are good at burrowing after rats, but the main rats we have problems with are the ones that like to nest in high places or buildings... Where mongoose don't reach. Also we have a bunch of native ground nesting birds that until the 1800s had no real natural predators. The rats did eat their eggs but then we introduced mongoose, domesticated cats, and dogs. Guess who eats the birds?
Most of our native species have become endangered or extinct by now, which is why we have strict "do not import" laws on animals now. Anyway, regardless, i think it's funny the Pokémon games reference this issue by making their totem encounter version exclusive.
I’m the world’s #1 Gumshoes fan and I honestly thought it was a rival mob boss to Raticate and not a detective :(
Fake fan 😢
I don't care for them much anymore, but I remember on release I liked Yungoos. A lot of it was the sharp mouth, but I also found its weasely body shape very cute, similar to Chien-Pao. Gumshoos on the other hand always felt a lot more stiff.
If it gets a regional form, it'd be kind of funny if it just became Arbok's rival, though I also wouldn't want it to step on Zangoose and Seviper's toes too much.
3:00 okay wait. No. No no no no no. How did I never notice the beard?!
Because it’s not a beard
Phew.... irony is a bitch am i right?
It feels weird to see a negative take on a 'mon I like that much, admittedly because of the memes. Personally I don't mind that it doesn't look super much like the job it's inspired by, personally I think that jobmon are coolest when they take a little bit more thinking to figure out like this.
Gumshoos 2024 amiright
The comparison was always going to be made and honestly you will never be able to convince me that it wasn't done intentionally.
Gumshoos for president 🦅🇺🇸
Make Alola Great Again
Gumshoos for Alolan President 2024 LOL
THE MEME IS REAL.
Gen 7’s my favorite Gen with my favorite roster. I routinely forget Gumshoos exists.
I caught a Shiny one back in Moon though, named it 7/11.
I had an ear infection in my right ear last Monday that ended last Friday.
ok
Its weird but kinda cool that many of the entries in the Alola Dex are not native species, they are invaders that were brought over and are running amok. You got old pokemon, new pokemon, old pokemon that look new, and it paints a sad picture of this ancestral land that may be being ruined by human intervention. Also there's this jellyfish and it eats a lady, so random lol 😅
Wow, didn't even know about the detective stuff, may even name my hundo in Pokemon Go after Gumshoe now that I have a connection between them
President gumshoes for a 2nd term
Honestly it never really gave off a detective vibe in the slightest, so i think the best way to lean into that more is to make Gumshoos have darker colors along with changing his beret hair into hat hair similar to Honchkrow. I hope that would help with its design
Wait, that was there before??!!!!?
I thought it was a part of the meme?
I've never realized it was supposed to be a detective 🤣 I was always confused why it's hands were behind it. I saw the other comparisons tho
and then later they gave him his wall "stakataka has entered the cat"
😮Did not even think about this! What the what?😮😯😯
I still like Gumshoos! In fact, Yungoose too!😊
Gumshoos fear intelieon because hes the president
Pokemon predicted the Attempt
I would think of his as a ganster before a Detective; they probably shouldn't adjusted the design
i think from the side the hair does look like a detective hat but from most angles you cant see the bit in the back that really makes it obvious what it is supposed to look like.
I did a nuzlocke of Moon once and got really attached to my Yungoos. Pokémon Refresh just kinda hits different
Also I know you mentioned it being at night but the thing is that their lines aren't nocturnal. They're asleep during the day which is also why in areas at night you find a. Rats
I agree that Gumshoos could look more closely like a detective, but I actually think that's a strength of the design, not a flaw: Gumshoos being a subtler reference to the real life job it's partly based on means I can still see it as an animal living in a natural environment, while I can't imagine something like Cinderace and its clearly clothes-inspired fur patterns, pose and weirdly underdeveloped, baby-doll arms just frolicking around in a grassland, because the reference and basis are laid on far too thick in the design; it's not an animal anymore, it looks more like a fur suit, a human dressing up as a rabbit mascot.
The fact that yungoose/gumshooes can learn pay day makes it even worse
*better
When you put Yungoos and Gumshoos side by side, you can see the difference in design. If I were to redesign Gumshoos, I would shave 4 inches of the sides and move the ears up to the shaved spot and make the ears a bit more defined.
Wait wtf was that Pikachusident's Day ad? 💀💀💀
"Gumshoos is supposed to be a detective" Idk, sounds like fake news.
lol I didn’t know it was supposed to be a detective because I never knew what a stakeout was when I was 10
Honestly, I never even got the detective vibes until you mentioned it. Never even knew that it was supposed to be a trenchcoat. I thought it just had a bunch of unkempt fur
This is peak design
he missed the focus blast
The MeMes are still silly to this day and outside of this video I had completely forgotten about this pokemon.
The mongooses that were sent to Hawaii were native to India but were imported from Jamaica. That makes two places that could become new regions where we could see a regional form for this Pokemon. But then it would most likely receive a dual-typing, which would beg the question of why it lost that secondary typing in the first place.
NAH BROOOOO 💀
The best Game Freak could possibly do for Gumshoos is to make a regional variant or an evolution that looks less like the one guy from The Apprentice.
It's truly the Pokémon with the most unfortunately timed reveal of all time.
Plot twist: Unovan Gumshoos debuts with orange hair, navy blue fur, and is the first “New York”-type 🗽
.... IT'S A DETECTIVE???
i prefer alolan raticate
The ear.. you can't make this shit up 💀
Gumshoos is a great Pokemon. Maybe one of the greatest that Alola has ever seen. He's a hard-working member of our law enforcement. Believe me. Jokes aside, I always thought the quiff on top was like one of those driving hats/flat caps that ended up looking like blonde hair.
Oh my gosh I think I remember that commercial
Always know how Gumshoos is suppose to be based on detectives, even if it’s don’t look much like one.
Honestly I was today's years old when I discovered Gumshoos was supposed to resemble a detective-
If they made the gold a dark brown or black, and the hair messy, it could have looked like a Columbo detective
