I think dark type is sort of..both? Some are dark type for being shady and mysterious, others for being punks/jerks that play dirty. Types don’t have a singular explanation fir each pokémon being it! Kinda like how flying type is either “it’s a bird”/it flies or mastery over wind and air.

@smb85 dkc94 if they ever add the "Light" type I hope that it's super effective against Dark types, but also weak to Dark type attacks to show symbolism between the two~ Though the main issue with the idea of adding the "Light" or "Sound" type is that there's already so many light and sound based Pokemon and moves that such additions to the franchise would change the meta game so much that just one of the two would dwarf the impact of the additions of the Dark, Steel, and Fairy types combined.....

12:26 You could say that the gloves act as a conduit to better control the aura-channeling and that's why it comes so easily to Ash: the gloves take most of the guesswork out.
He's not rock anymore when he's brought back. The fossil Pokemon aren't perfect reconstructions, and therefore have partial rock still imbued within them.
12:11~12:16 OBJECTION! Ash has demonstrated his aura powers *without* using these gloves! It was during his adventure through the Sinnoh region with Dawn and Brock, where he sensed and read the aura of a Riolu that had exceptionally high aura abilities! Therefore, I believe that the gloves only assist the user in focusing their aura powers, not actually allow the user to use those powers!
@@chaoscontroller316 Wait, he does?! *Checks Bulbapedia* Wait, he does! And it is indeed because of his aura abilities! Wow, I honestly kinda thought the Pokemon company forgot about it!
My hypothesis on this has been that there's a two way connection between Pokemon and trainer. We see this somewhat in the games and in the anime, especially with Ash Greninja. This bond creates a positive feedback loop, making Pokemon and trainers behind more linked by similarity and empathy thus making them likely to bond with similar Pokemon thus deepening the effect of the bond. Most trainers, having diverse typings in their team, mitigate this effect; however, monotype trainers seem to always gain some qualities of their type. The human form has its limits: we will never breath fire, but we can become resistant to heat and burning (like many mono fire trainers are). Becoming expert fighters or even psychics may be more within the grasp of humans, thus the effects on form and ability are much more pronounced.
That resistance to heat is real, btw: a baker who has burned their hands countless times on oven racks can eventually pull them out without a heat pad.
I think Aura is heavily linked to the "Fighting spirt" rather than just the soul, in one of the most recent episodes, Ash's Riolo hatched from the egg, or rather begun to hatch from the pokemon egg because it sensed Ash's spirit while he was fighting, and even more, Ash said he felt Riolu calling for him as well.
Well thats partly true in my opinion I think it's more based on your destiny or pre written history that your aura allows you to use certain objects based on or around your destiny or in you pre written history.
@Kureiton she literally either raises or lowers your pokemon's stats depending on how you answer her questions mid battle, powerless is one thing she ain't~
There’s this cool concept for an evil team I read forever ago that I’d love if anybody could help me find the original The evil team discovered some ancient Pokémon that was the evolutionary predecessor to humans. They wanted to revive it from a fossil for whatever reason and you would be able to capture and evolve it and be faced with an ethical dilemma. The part I remember was the twist they specified was that when you looked at the human-mon it wouldn’t be the expected normal type, it was fighting. Humans and their war and all that
So... humans start out normal type (or typeless), but tend to be “type-fluid,” in a sense, with tool use and environmental factors/lifestyle influencing secondary type and abilities?
I'd say it's the ability human have that let them change type through equipment. Kind of like Arceus, but the item has to be something made from human technology.
Aura is definitely a fighting-type ability but that's on the special side as opposed to the physical side, which is why it's a special attack. It reminds me more of chi than some physic energy by its depiction.
I would love to see in the next pokemon game an evil team that uses fairy types and perhaps some more things suggesting how perhaps fairy types are unnatural. Hell this could even give a reason to the sudden appearance of fairy types.
This would be so cool! Or even like they built a barrier to isolate the fairy/nature regions, or canceled the ability outside of the region, which is why it took so long for the types and region to unite. Could be worked to darkest day and the Great War as well!

The fairy types might be more for innocence than exposure, the whole myth is that fairies would only reveal themselves to "the pure of heart" and children fit that description... Kinda like Peter pan where if you grow up you can never go to Neverland, If they innocent they can see them, but if they grow up they lose the connection
RedLink259 Gaming, I can smell fairy trainers for miles and when I do pick it up, I’ll often find an ad for fruit loops nearby and then, THE SLOGAN IS MY COMMAND. And then...... Bede is under the bleachers and I’m eating him

I mean, humans are "supposed" to be (for lack of a better term) toned and muscular. We've just been living a lifestyle that doesn't encourage such development for the last few thousand years. So perhaps we are fighting types, just poorly trained.
@Allan Tidgwell the average Mesopotamian peasant would not have been as muscular as a hunter-gatherer in their prime. Sure, a brick layer would be more developed than the average person today, but laying bricks doesn't compare to killing an antelope by jogging
If you look closely its not really a mary sue since she isn't actually stronger than her pokemon. Her Pokemon were lifting GIANT MASSIVE boulders, and while her rock was heavy for a human, its like a pebble compared to the things they were lifting. Its like if my father was lifting 200 pound bars, and got tired after 10 sets. And I was lifting a 20 pound bar and got tired after 15 sets. Clearly I wouldn't be stronger than my father just because I can lift a tiny weight more than him.
To the phsycic type discussion in pokemon let's go when you battle Sarina I can't remember if before or after she says "everybody is psychic just not everybody can't figure out how to use it" Im pretty sure it went that way.
In general even as young kids don't humans get hit by ghost types moves in the anime, lore, and manga? So... doesn't that mean humans wouldn't be normal type? Probably be the ??? and gain a type or 2 depending difference variables. Heck it can be argued humans start off as psychic type since the psychic type weaknesses are based off of human psychological fears in the first place.
14:58, the girl talking to the wall is actually talking to the girl on the next house, which is also talking to the wall and facing in the direction of the girl shown in the clip. As for illima, or however his name was spelled, could be more so of a reference to how kalos was the first region to actually have fairy types, thus his eyes resembling that of fairy type trainers such as the fairy tale girl and the fairy type gym leader.
@@The_Endless_Now You see the direction the girl is facing when talking to the wall? The house right next to it is the one with the other girl talking to the wall. Just like how the one in the video is in the bottom right corner, the one talking to her is in the bottom left corner.
Mini theory: All living things have Psychic abilities, and the psychic type works by controlling the opponents mind as well as your own. Something that only those experienced enough can do. The reason dark types are immune to this is because they shut off the creative part of their mind and run off of pure instinct and survival tactics, taking every opportunity they can have to gain the upper hand in combat. Even if it means playing against the rules.
6:45 it would be so cool to have a video/series going over all the type effectiveness and resistances. Some are obvious (water puts out fire, fire melts grass, grass absorbs water) but some are less obvious (why is fairy good against dragon? Why is ghost good against itself?
If you do make a video analyzing "aura power", a notable example of that (for me) is Rui from Pokémon Colosseum, who can sense the aura of Shadow Pokémon.

In the anime, Sabrina's dad said Psychic powers are innate and you can't learn them. I don't know for you but for me, it's enough explanation. We already know these people train themselves, most here have a basic idea of what psychic powers are and i don't even know if there's anything to say more about them (except maybe Kadabra thought to be a human before but again, they just have to update the Pokedex). Meanwhile, ghost girls (real ghosts, not the typing) are one of many mysteries (N, Cubone, Diglett family, etc) in Pokemon games and it's already overshadowing something you can have a basis on like Psychic people in Pokemon. In the end, you consider what you want. I'm only giving my opinion here.

14:50 You missed a pretty big component to this with the item you can pick up after you deliver the letter. Isn't it a reaper cloth? Leading one to assume that she was a ghost? And possibly the girl being attached to that letter, meaning she is gone because you brought her to the house and delivered her yourself. Leading the girls in the house to exhibit ghost abilities instead of fairy? And they are talking to the girl that you delivered the letter for? That's pretty much how I saw it anyway.
It seems a lot of people miss it, but if you go back to the spot the little girl was standing in she will say "thank you" to your character. The man you delivered the letter too will also note how ill she was when they last met. All indications are she is a ghost, and you're just helping her move past her regret.
Humans are like Rotom. They change their type based on their profession. Imagine getting hired at the local mountain nature reserve and waking up the next day in the body of a hiker, the "Pokémon is evolving" tune playing in the background.
I don't know if you've already made one, but a video going over each type weaknesses and explaining the reason why they are weak/strong and immune to each other would be cool.
"what else could they be" Defined primarily by their High Intelligence, which is associated with psychic types (alakazam, metagross, oranguru, etc.), not to mention some of them are literally telekinetic. Decidedly Psychic. And some have martial arts capabilities equal to fighting type pokemon, and can even see and manipulate aura/chi/"Focus" (a fighting type thing). I'd say Psychic/Fighting, and just most are too low leveled to have learned any moves. Though you could make the case for Normal/Psychic with fighting moves. That said, since most psychic ability seems to be from birth and not really something you can train, I'd guess the human level up movepool is distinctly lacking in psychic moves despite the typing, they're all egg moves instead. But the other types, we don't see them ever do any of the relevant innate elemental manipulation. Hex Maniacs aren't throwing out shadowballs, punks aren't throwing any darkpulses, swimmers can't shoot water, so on and so forth. They're quite susceptible to Ghost and Fairy effects certainly, possession and bewitching, etc. But they never command them themselves. Which hey, if they were Fighting/Psychic, that would make perfect sense, those plus Flying are it's weaknesses. And if you want to have a laugh, watch a human get in a fistfight with anything that flies, I'd say that one checks out too.
I'm against humans being normal type. We can can use our bodies to tackle, or throw out unfocused punches and kicks, but that is not where our strengths lie. We just don't have the raw power or natural untrained physicality of raging bulls, bears or other wild animals that are typical of the normal type. Those types of moves don't play to our strengths. Rather, skilled, focused, and measured blows utilizing various techniques typical of the fighting type are what turn humans into capable fighters without the use of tools. I view this as humans getting STAB from fighting moves. I view normal type sort of as the "beastly" type, so I think psychic/fighting for humans is right on.
@@Red-Faction but almost no one is born with skill to fight, or control objects with their mind, it's something developed A machop is always born with the ability to perform a low kick, a newborn munna can already shoot psywaves I'd say humans "form change", when they acquire the skills they become that type That's why normal or even typeless are good choices, unless they're somehow special, all humans are born with just their intelligence and weak, uncoordinated "attacks"
My dude, you should definitely start playing Pokemon Masters, there's a lot of hidden lore in there, for example Valerie is said to be a designer maybe that's the reason she have those eyes because she's a cosplayer
Any better examples of deep lore you could spare? That designer thing sounds very insignificant Edit: watched past that part in the video, sorry, got it now
Korrina's fighting style is akin to roller derby, and participants get pretty violent, handling constant moving and balancing while on a non-linear plain. Also, enemies on roller skates or blades are a common trope in beat-em-up games like Streets of Rage.
I've thought that humans are their own type. Most likely evolved from normal types. Now I'm seeing that they have a unique ability to not only create friendship evolutions but can mimic the other types as well.
I’ve always assumed that in double type Pokemon, the first type is the main type, while the second type is an additional attribute. Bulbasaur is a plant, so mainly grass type, but with poison attributes. Humans would follow this way. Normal/“insert type from skill/weapon/armor”
All Pokemon typings are literal attributes. There's no internal type to them. While I get where you were coming from, except for most bug and ghost pokemon, it's literally just something that they can do well that lends them that type and their resistance. Humans are made up of mostly water, but that doesn't make us water type. We can also swim in the water for long periods of time and we're resistant. A Komodo dragon has poisonous saliva to a lot of different animals, but that doesn't make it a poison type. It just happens to have an attribute of poison. That's the entire point of pokemon. A Charmander is not inherently fire, because fire is a specific thing. It has some type of ethereal flame and flame bag inside of its stomach that acts like fire. You can see this because there are many Pokemon that are a type but they're not actually that thing. Like you have Pokemon that have a ghost type but they're not a ghost. You have Pokemon that are water type but are not water at all.. like the kubfus evolve form is it made of water. But then you would use that argument to say well that is its secondary typing so it's just an attribute of himself. But it's not even an attribute of himself he just moves like the waves it's a metaphor. Like Magnemite is metal by nature. More so than it is electricity because it's not a big electrical ball.. it's a literal conglomerate of metal and magnetism. But all of this can be seen clearly by any Pokemon that's a normal type. What does that even mean. What it means is that the Pokemon doesn't have any attribute that could it be compared to one of these vague elements. The more more you look at pokémon the more you will understand none of them are actually the type that they are. Because charmander's not made out of fire, squirtle's not made out of water. These are just attributes that they use
Perhaps when humans grow up into adults, they "evolve" in a way, possibly during Puberty. Maybe it is at this point where regular humans and the ones with psychic abilities split off, evolving into different forms depending on certain conditions in their DNA and nature, sort of like Toxtricity's forms but with more extreme differences.

@@DogPerson626 Who says in the pokemon world it doesn't happen all at once? It would explain how Ash's appearance doesn't change despite how his former companions have done.
The fairy type adaptation actually makes sense with old mythology surrounding the Fey who would kidnap human infants and raise them as their own. When returned to their birth parents they would have strange and magical abilities and personalities like those of the faeries that raised them
Science and understanding of the human mind have advanced since then. It turns out that those strange personalities still happen in some people, and it's been noted that they're determined at birth rather than after some time, though they can sometimes become apparent only after a few months. We generally no longer call such people faeries, but it does still happen sometimes to try and explain their differences, along with other inhuman descriptors like robots or aliens. Despite that, there is a more generally accepted term used to refer to these people nowadays. I am one of these people. The people that were once called faeries are now more often called neurodivergent. Even outside of the descriptions of changelings matching various mental disabilities, particularly autism, there is a scary amount of overlap with fae traits in general. The part about aging slower does have a grain of truth to it, though we don't talk about it much due to often being infantilized. While age-related behaviours can be all over the place, I have personally experienced a case of being mistaken for being about 3 years younger than I really am when trying to get into a pub. There's a bunch of other stuff, but I have to stop writing this comment eventually and not overwhelm you. With this in mind, some people on the spectrum have started identifying as faeries themselves since, in a matter of speaking, they're not wrong. This should be done with extreme caution though since the fates of those labeled as changelings were almost never pretty. They usually ended up with the person in question dead in the name of protecting the family or village from evil spirits.
@@angeldude101 I already know that, I was just explaining an old piece of mythology. I'm neurodivergent myself and thought a piece of trivia like that would fit the video. My aunt used to call me her favorite changeling when we found out about me being autistic
It also goes along with the comments I make around my friends about how I'm undead (long story but I was technically dead for a while when I was 15) honestly throughout most of my childhood people I worked/went to school with were constantly questioning me about my humanity so I just gave up and at some point I started joking about it as a coping mechanism
Nice! While the term was once used to hurt people like us, it can still be fun to indulge and comment that, under the right definitions, we genuinely should have the right to call ourselves faeries.
To explain aura typing: In some beliefs, people born with powers cant control them without help. The wand doesnt have any power but can help younglings control and use their own powers. Then the more you practive, eventually, you can learn to use your powers without the wand. Or those that can predict the future use an orb to see but as you advance, you can learn to see without it. A popular media that depicts this is Harry potter's 'wandless magic.' In that, dumbledor is one of the only people who can use wandless magic because hes trained himself to use it. So maybe the gloves and staff just harness and direct a person's natural aura powers and with lots of training, ash could use his powers without them.

Maybe humans could become poison type too, for the same reason of Dark Type. People who have toxic relationships and actions, like self-harming or such. I think it is posible in the video logic
Or, humans are "human" type, which is resistant against every type, but also not very effective against them. That's the only way to have resistance against everything like shown. Then, they gain another type's ability sometimes.
@@cameoshadowness7757 the ability of ghosts to affect them makes more sense as human type than as normal. They would be "resistant" being able to survive things like shadow claw, but not immune.
@@joshdaboss4663 I still find it far fetched for there to be a human type, yes there is credence but it still seems too far fetched. It just seems more fitting that humans have a variety of types given what humans have been seen to do. But I just don't know.
I would still say, that if they have to have a type, it would need to fit pretty much universal resistance. This also could explain why humans survive and are the dominant species in the Pokemon world, with next to no attacking ability. They, most of the time, just are so resistant to attacks that they can handle Pokemon. Calling it a human type does seem slightly wrong, though, so I'd almost prefer to call it a human state: as a human, one is resistant to pkmn attacks, but not immune.
@@joshdaboss4663 I say not really, they are smart enough to make things to capture/enslave pokemon, they have a variety of types that work together and make powerful tools that can even change the very nature of a pokemon. While they can resist many tyoes we haven't seen every move type used on them- or used on every kind of person. So it's just a really weird mixed bag.
12:50 Well, the anime at least seems to present psychic powers and Aura as separate things - psychic powers being purely mind powers, and Aura being more connected to life force (like ki, chakra, Reiatsu, Hamon, and whatnot).
I think Aura might actually be dual Fighting and Fairy-type, given how Fairy is associated with life with Xerneas and Aura is described as life energy. Tapu Lele is also Fairy and associated with life energy. Aura is also mentioned in the Pokedex to be detectable by not just Lucario, but Cutiefly as well, a Fairy-type. However, attacks such as Aura Sphere are still Fighting type, and Lucario is not Fairy, but Fighting. Two different aspects of Aura, perhaps? One more combat-oriented and one more life-oriented?
4:40 To be fair, there are quite a few Fighting-types that are just themed after sports (like Passimian), so being athletic might be justification enough.
There's something that wasn't brought up, and I wonder if it has a connection: In the Canalave Library, Sinnoh folktale 3 mentions how people and Pokemon were indistinguishable at one point, so this might mean that Humans and Pokemon evolved (actual evolution, not game evolution) from the same place. And if that's true, then within the humans of the Pokemon world, they would have the same genes that allow Pokemon to do what they do, but they've become dormant for various reasons. That could explain why people were born with or have the ability to obtain things like ESP or abnormal strength, but others don't
5:39 Karen being a dark type makes sense. she yells "BRING THE MANAGER HERE!" in a loud and rude way and has tantrums if she doesn't get her way Than she would creepily stare at you while saying "WELL SORRY B***H MY KIDS CAN'T HEAR YOU WHILE THEY LISTENING TO KIDZ BOP"
Lockstin: I think humans can only become Normal, Psychic, Fairy, Dark, Fighting and Ghost type Me: *proceeds to drink a very venomous drink* if I'll resist it, I'll become a poison type
I think in some aspects yes-that's called the Zodiac. Some are more in tune with their sign than others but it's kind of like that. It would go like this in my mind: *Aries* - Fire or dragon *Taurus* - Rock *Gemini* - Flying *Cancer* - ghost *Leo* - electric or fire *Virgo* - steel or Rock *Libra* - grass *Scorpio* - poison *Sagittarius* - psychic *Capricorn* - dark *Aquarius* - dragon *Pisces* - water or fairy.
maybe the whole psychic ability can be like the midiclhorian thing in star wars, some people like Anakin might have higher chances for psychic abilities
9:45 I think it’s obvious that overall psychic abilities are an “egg move” in humans. With all the implications that holds for where new psychic lineages come from.
I have a couple other ideas. Who knows someone that can stand outside in freaking -20F degree weather? There's your Ice-type. How about that guy/gal/person who's never warm enough and has the freaking heat on in the house when it's 80F outside? There's your Fire-type. Typed humans are there in the Pokemon world, I'm sure. Maybe they just don't have access to the same level of energy as the Pokemon do, so these "Type behaviors" manifest themselves as just individual weird human quirks.

yep. pretty much. normal, typeless, psychic and ghost. and fighting if a human has aura capabilities. it seems to be that mons exert a special type of energy when they use moves. a sucker punch isnt just a dirty tactic, its using dark energy to pull off this move. a person couldnt bite a hypno and expect to do super effective damage just because the human's mean. a human would be like if a pokemon used normalize ability. a person's double kick would still do normal damage.
Types and Moves are being taken rather literally, in this video. Lockstin, I think you should consider that the contribution of Necrozma Lore S/M and USUM added might imply that Types and Moves are actually a soft-magic system independent from what anything is innately capable of. When you look at it that way, a lot more things become "typeless" and contradictions start to sort themselves out.
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 Ultra recon squad referred to Aura, Lifeforce, and typed energy as one word: Lights.

Along with pokemon that move faster than others having the same Speed stat. The stats and moves are separate from the Pokemon's biology and science.

Honestly your logic for dark type being immune means that tin foil is worthless to me, by that logic I must be immune to psychic type because my autistic brain is litterally completely differently wired, EPIC
Normal type (with the ability to get hit by ghost attacks?) but can gain a dual type after learning certain moves and levelling (maybe evolving into fighting by default)
I think you start as normal type but when you grow and gain characteristics and traits like looks, personality, and hobbies they gain different types based on the current phase their in.
Aura makes the most sense as Fighting. Riolu has aura too, just significantly weaker than Lucario, and they share the fighting type. Aura Sphere itself is Fighting (Psychic's "Pulse" move is Heal Pulse), as is Focus Blast, an attack shown in the anime to function similarly - a "Kamehame Hadoken"

No I’m the anime he is certainly poisoned by his marenie
My theory is that the dark type is meant to mean mysterious, shady, or just edgy not necessarily mean or hostile or violent or evil
That would actually make a lot of sense considering that absol isn't really evil or mischievous but instead just mysteries and misunderstood.
like in spanish where dark type is named "sinister"
Skeletor is definitely dark and dragon type
Then what about the fact that piers’s hair looks like a giant skunk? 🦨
I think dark type is sort of..both? Some are dark type for being shady and mysterious, others for being punks/jerks that play dirty. Types don’t have a singular explanation fir each pokémon being it! Kinda like how flying type is either “it’s a bird”/it flies or mastery over wind and air.

@smb85 dkc94 but ain't fairly type technically the light type
@smb85 dkc94 if they ever add the "Light" type I hope that it's super effective against Dark types, but also weak to Dark type attacks to show symbolism between the two~
Though the main issue with the idea of adding the "Light" or "Sound" type is that there's already so many light and sound based Pokemon and moves that such additions to the franchise would change the meta game so much that just one of the two would dwarf the impact of the additions of the Dark, Steel, and Fairy types combined.....

I’m hungry. Should I literally devour bede?
In the first movie, ash was turned into rock and then brought back. Does this make him rock type for the same reason as fossil pokèmon?
He's not rock anymore when he's brought back. The fossil Pokemon aren't perfect reconstructions, and therefore have partial rock still imbued within them.
Ash is Jesus type.
12:11~12:16 OBJECTION!
Ash has demonstrated his aura powers *without* using these gloves! It was during his adventure through the Sinnoh region with Dawn and Brock, where he sensed and read the aura of a Riolu that had exceptionally high aura abilities! Therefore, I believe that the gloves only assist the user in focusing their aura powers, not actually allow the user to use those powers!
Does this explain why he gets a Riolu of his own in the new show?
@@chaoscontroller316 Wait, he does?! *Checks Bulbapedia* Wait, he does! And it is indeed because of his aura abilities! Wow, I honestly kinda thought the Pokemon company forgot about it!

ChaosController316 yes because he sensed rioulu aura in the egg and riolu did too
I liked the comment just because of the Ace Attorney reference.
"They act all mean and tough, but I'm sure one skilled fighter can take them all down"
So THAT'S why fighting is super effective to dark
Bede’s exposed hair is *free real estate*
My hypothesis on this has been that there's a two way connection between Pokemon and trainer. We see this somewhat in the games and in the anime, especially with Ash Greninja. This bond creates a positive feedback loop, making Pokemon and trainers behind more linked by similarity and empathy thus making them likely to bond with similar Pokemon thus deepening the effect of the bond. Most trainers, having diverse typings in their team, mitigate this effect; however, monotype trainers seem to always gain some qualities of their type. The human form has its limits: we will never breath fire, but we can become resistant to heat and burning (like many mono fire trainers are). Becoming expert fighters or even psychics may be more within the grasp of humans, thus the effects on form and ability are much more pronounced.
I mean ash used bullet seed in the anime
Opal: thinks that bede looks good in pink
Me: states that bede looks *edible* in pink
That resistance to heat is real, btw: a baker who has burned their hands countless times on oven racks can eventually pull them out without a heat pad.
Everyone else: talks about the combat
Me: *notices that bede’s hair is free real estate*
@@aliceh5289 is bede’s scalp full of tiny bakeries that constantly make vanilla cupcakes?
Imagine Kadabra coming out the pokeball screaming, “Wait, I’m a real boy!” Okaaaaasy Pinocchio
My stance: "Human" is the type. And the human type moves... are Fight (or Command), Item, Pokemon and Run.
Sounds like a great stance, let me adopt it as my headcanon
I think Aura is heavily linked to the "Fighting spirt" rather than just the soul, in one of the most recent episodes, Ash's Riolo hatched from the egg, or rather begun to hatch from the pokemon egg because it sensed Ash's spirit while he was fighting, and even more, Ash said he felt Riolu calling for him as well.
isn’t lucario and riolu literally the aura pokemon
Well thats partly true in my opinion I think it's more based on your destiny or pre written history that your aura allows you to use certain objects based on or around your destiny or in you pre written history.
@@owenlowe6457 I don't know why is necessary to point it out, but yes.

I remember reading a fanfiction once where Opal was a fae
There’s this cool concept for an evil team I read forever ago that I’d love if anybody could help me find the original
The evil team discovered some ancient Pokémon that was the evolutionary predecessor to humans. They wanted to revive it from a fossil for whatever reason and you would be able to capture and evolve it and be faced with an ethical dilemma. The part I remember was the twist they specified was that when you looked at the human-mon it wouldn’t be the expected normal type, it was fighting. Humans and their war and all that

So... humans start out normal type (or typeless), but tend to be “type-fluid,” in a sense, with tool use and environmental factors/lifestyle influencing secondary type and abilities?
So... ??? Type
Humans have protean
"Type-fluid"
humans are like eevee.
I'd say it's the ability human have that let them change type through equipment. Kind of like Arceus, but the item has to be something made from human technology.

Aura is definitely a fighting-type ability but that's on the special side as opposed to the physical side, which is why it's a special attack. It reminds me more of chi than some physic energy by its depiction.

I would love to see in the next pokemon game an evil team that uses fairy types and perhaps some more things suggesting how perhaps fairy types are unnatural. Hell this could even give a reason to the sudden appearance of fairy types.
This would be so cool! Or even like they built a barrier to isolate the fairy/nature regions, or canceled the ability outside of the region, which is why it took so long for the types and region to unite. Could be worked to darkest day and the Great War as well!

Dark in pokemon means evil though, not the literal darkness. And we're also afraid of flying, fire, drowning and having rocks thrown at us too.

@@jimm60701 Except not all Dark types are evil. Some Dark type have more to do with the dark than their personality.

It was. It changed in gen 5 i believe to be Ghost.
I mean, humans are "supposed" to be (for lack of a better term) toned and muscular. We've just been living a lifestyle that doesn't encourage such development for the last few thousand years. So perhaps we are fighting types, just poorly trained.
Omg your so right!!
Yeah and a little psychic with the mind thingy and the ability to understand facial expressions
But to be a fighting type, one must also have know a bit of marshal arts and have a sense of justice, as Lockstin said
@Allan Tidgwell the average Mesopotamian peasant would not have been as muscular as a hunter-gatherer in their prime. Sure, a brick layer would be more developed than the average person today, but laying bricks doesn't compare to killing an antelope by jogging
Well, normal types also have muscles...
"Oh man, what a mary sue!"
I think you mean: "we're reaching levels of best girl that shouldn't be possible."
Pretty sure it's just mocking the Incels who are shouting that when a strong female character appears.
If you look closely its not really a mary sue since she isn't actually stronger than her pokemon.
Her Pokemon were lifting GIANT MASSIVE boulders, and while her rock was heavy for a human, its like a pebble compared to the things they were lifting.
Its like if my father was lifting 200 pound bars, and got tired after 10 sets. And I was lifting a 20 pound bar and got tired after 15 sets.
Clearly I wouldn't be stronger than my father just because I can lift a tiny weight more than him.

@@sarthakarora3212 And that one ain't in the town, inside a house, facing a wall talking into it, now is she?
Mini theory:
All living things have Psychic abilities, and the psychic type works by controlling the opponents mind as well as your own. Something that only those experienced enough can do.
The reason dark types are immune to this is because they shut off the creative part of their mind and run off of pure instinct and survival tactics, taking every opportunity they can have to gain the upper hand in combat. Even if it means playing against the rules.
6:45 it would be so cool to have a video/series going over all the type effectiveness and resistances. Some are obvious (water puts out fire, fire melts grass, grass absorbs water) but some are less obvious (why is fairy good against dragon? Why is ghost good against itself?
If you do make a video analyzing "aura power", a notable example of that (for me) is Rui from Pokémon Colosseum, who can sense the aura of Shadow Pokémon.

We already know these people train themselves, most here have a basic idea of what psychic powers are and i don't even know if there's anything to say more about them (except maybe Kadabra thought to be a human before but again, they just have to update the Pokedex).
Meanwhile, ghost girls (real ghosts, not the typing) are one of many mysteries (N, Cubone, Diglett family, etc) in Pokemon games and it's already overshadowing something you can have a basis on like Psychic people in Pokemon.

You missed a pretty big component to this with the item you can pick up after you deliver the letter.
Isn't it a reaper cloth?
Leading one to assume that she was a ghost?
And possibly the girl being attached to that letter, meaning she is gone because you brought her to the house and delivered her yourself.
Leading the girls in the house to exhibit ghost abilities instead of fairy?
And they are talking to the girl that you delivered the letter for?
That's pretty much how I saw it anyway.
Same. I thought Ghost more than Fairy. Every pokemon game has at least one ghost.
It seems a lot of people miss it, but if you go back to the spot the little girl was standing in she will say "thank you" to your character. The man you delivered the letter too will also note how ill she was when they last met. All indications are she is a ghost, and you're just helping her move past her regret.
Humans are like Rotom. They change their type based on their profession. Imagine getting hired at the local mountain nature reserve and waking up the next day in the body of a hiker, the "Pokémon is evolving" tune playing in the background.
I don't know if you've already made one, but a video going over each type weaknesses and explaining the reason why they are weak/strong and immune to each other would be cool.

Good point!
It's more of a dead thing on our continent.
@@LegendStormcrow It's not too common in the US anymore, but it's still worth mentioning.
Maybe shes just petite and focuses on her legs. It's worth noting lucario also has thicker legs than arms
"what else could they be"
Defined primarily by their High Intelligence, which is associated with psychic types (alakazam, metagross, oranguru, etc.), not to mention some of them are literally telekinetic. Decidedly Psychic.
And some have martial arts capabilities equal to fighting type pokemon, and can even see and manipulate aura/chi/"Focus" (a fighting type thing).
I'd say Psychic/Fighting, and just most are too low leveled to have learned any moves. Though you could make the case for Normal/Psychic with fighting moves. That said, since most psychic ability seems to be from birth and not really something you can train, I'd guess the human level up movepool is distinctly lacking in psychic moves despite the typing, they're all egg moves instead.
But the other types, we don't see them ever do any of the relevant innate elemental manipulation. Hex Maniacs aren't throwing out shadowballs, punks aren't throwing any darkpulses, swimmers can't shoot water, so on and so forth. They're quite susceptible to Ghost and Fairy effects certainly, possession and bewitching, etc. But they never command them themselves. Which hey, if they were Fighting/Psychic, that would make perfect sense, those plus Flying are it's weaknesses. And if you want to have a laugh, watch a human get in a fistfight with anything that flies, I'd say that one checks out too.
This makes sense and the last bit did give me a good laugh
Funny
Also, human-shape is mostly filled with psychic and fighting type.
I'm against humans being normal type. We can can use our bodies to tackle, or throw out unfocused punches and kicks, but that is not where our strengths lie. We just don't have the raw power or natural untrained physicality of raging bulls, bears or other wild animals that are typical of the normal type. Those types of moves don't play to our strengths. Rather, skilled, focused, and measured blows utilizing various techniques typical of the fighting type are what turn humans into capable fighters without the use of tools. I view this as humans getting STAB from fighting moves. I view normal type sort of as the "beastly" type, so I think psychic/fighting for humans is right on.
@@Red-Faction but almost no one is born with skill to fight, or control objects with their mind, it's something developed
A machop is always born with the ability to perform a low kick, a newborn munna can already shoot psywaves
I'd say humans "form change", when they acquire the skills they become that type
That's why normal or even typeless are good choices, unless they're somehow special, all humans are born with just their intelligence and weak, uncoordinated "attacks"
My dude, you should definitely start playing Pokemon Masters, there's a lot of hidden lore in there, for example Valerie is said to be a designer maybe that's the reason she have those eyes because she's a cosplayer

Korrina's fighting style is akin to roller derby, and participants get pretty violent, handling constant moving and balancing while on a non-linear plain. Also, enemies on roller skates or blades are a common trope in beat-em-up games like Streets of Rage.

Perhaps kyuurem got frozen in the process of dying.
I never would’ve guessed that
I've thought that humans are their own type. Most likely evolved from normal types. Now I'm seeing that they have a unique ability to not only create friendship evolutions but can mimic the other types as well.
I’ve always assumed that in double type Pokemon, the first type is the main type, while the second type is an additional attribute. Bulbasaur is a plant, so mainly grass type, but with poison attributes. Humans would follow this way. Normal/“insert type from skill/weapon/armor”
All Pokemon typings are literal attributes. There's no internal type to them. While I get where you were coming from, except for most bug and ghost pokemon, it's literally just something that they can do well that lends them that type and their resistance.
Humans are made up of mostly water, but that doesn't make us water type. We can also swim in the water for long periods of time and we're resistant. A Komodo dragon has poisonous saliva to a lot of different animals, but that doesn't make it a poison type. It just happens to have an attribute of poison. That's the entire point of pokemon. A Charmander is not inherently fire, because fire is a specific thing. It has some type of ethereal flame and flame bag inside of its stomach that acts like fire.
You can see this because there are many Pokemon that are a type but they're not actually that thing. Like you have Pokemon that have a ghost type but they're not a ghost. You have Pokemon that are water type but are not water at all.. like the kubfus evolve form is it made of water. But then you would use that argument to say well that is its secondary typing so it's just an attribute of himself. But it's not even an attribute of himself he just moves like the waves it's a metaphor.
Like Magnemite is metal by nature. More so than it is electricity because it's not a big electrical ball.. it's a literal conglomerate of metal and magnetism.
But all of this can be seen clearly by any Pokemon that's a normal type. What does that even mean. What it means is that the Pokemon doesn't have any attribute that could it be compared to one of these vague elements. The more more you look at pokémon the more you will understand none of them are actually the type that they are. Because charmander's not made out of fire, squirtle's not made out of water. These are just attributes that they use
Perhaps when humans grow up into adults, they "evolve" in a way, possibly during Puberty. Maybe it is at this point where regular humans and the ones with psychic abilities split off, evolving into different forms depending on certain conditions in their DNA and nature, sort of like Toxtricity's forms but with more extreme differences.
So puberty is just a long evolution animation?

The fairy type adaptation actually makes sense with old mythology surrounding the Fey who would kidnap human infants and raise them as their own. When returned to their birth parents they would have strange and magical abilities and personalities like those of the faeries that raised them
Science and understanding of the human mind have advanced since then. It turns out that those strange personalities still happen in some people, and it's been noted that they're determined at birth rather than after some time, though they can sometimes become apparent only after a few months. We generally no longer call such people faeries, but it does still happen sometimes to try and explain their differences, along with other inhuman descriptors like robots or aliens. Despite that, there is a more generally accepted term used to refer to these people nowadays.
I am one of these people. The people that were once called faeries are now more often called neurodivergent.
Even outside of the descriptions of changelings matching various mental disabilities, particularly autism, there is a scary amount of overlap with fae traits in general. The part about aging slower does have a grain of truth to it, though we don't talk about it much due to often being infantilized. While age-related behaviours can be all over the place, I have personally experienced a case of being mistaken for being about 3 years younger than I really am when trying to get into a pub. There's a bunch of other stuff, but I have to stop writing this comment eventually and not overwhelm you.
With this in mind, some people on the spectrum have started identifying as faeries themselves since, in a matter of speaking, they're not wrong. This should be done with extreme caution though since the fates of those labeled as changelings were almost never pretty. They usually ended up with the person in question dead in the name of protecting the family or village from evil spirits.
@@angeldude101 I already know that, I was just explaining an old piece of mythology. I'm neurodivergent myself and thought a piece of trivia like that would fit the video. My aunt used to call me her favorite changeling when we found out about me being autistic
It also goes along with the comments I make around my friends about how I'm undead (long story but I was technically dead for a while when I was 15) honestly throughout most of my childhood people I worked/went to school with were constantly questioning me about my humanity so I just gave up and at some point I started joking about it as a coping mechanism
Nice! While the term was once used to hurt people like us, it can still be fun to indulge and comment that, under the right definitions, we genuinely should have the right to call ourselves faeries.
Bede’s hair is so *DELICIOUS* looking I’m not sure if he heard my stomach.
To explain aura typing:
In some beliefs, people born with powers cant control them without help. The wand doesnt have any power but can help younglings control and use their own powers. Then the more you practive, eventually, you can learn to use your powers without the wand.
Or those that can predict the future use an orb to see but as you advance, you can learn to see without it.
A popular media that depicts this is Harry potter's 'wandless magic.' In that, dumbledor is one of the only people who can use wandless magic because hes trained himself to use it.
So maybe the gloves and staff just harness and direct a person's natural aura powers and with lots of training, ash could use his powers without them.
15:03 "they can see things others cannot" "Opal's gym is also a small theater" wow I couldn't see that before
well i got some news for you buddy
I think we're all have five different types on our society :
Normal
Psychic
Fighting
Dark
Ghost
@bryan diaz varela lol so true xd
Poison. I can be toxic AF.
Would vegans or nature lovers be Grass types?
@@cintronproductions9430 no obviously because even they eat vegetables there bodys are not made of grass and they are not plants or symbiotic creatures
Normal: Normal person?
Psychic: Smart person?
Fighting: Person that fights?
Dark: Evil people?
Ghost: Dead people?
I would like to see the dark type resisting psychic types video! Keep up the good work :)
i feel like the dark type trainers arent that twisted, they are shady though so i guess it works, but karen nanu and grimsley just seem more free-spirited and maybe are just dark because this can be seen as self-serving and seem more confident with themselves so their heads are harder to mess with.
At least one dark type trainer should be dark type themselves.
Her name is Karen for goodness sake.
i dunno, i don't remember her ever doing anything mean sprited in gold, she just kinda exists. she looks more like someones aunt... not very meme-karen-esque
@@noaedlund She basically tells you that you can't judge Pokemon by their strengths and weaknesses and that a talented trainer wins with the Pokemon they love. That's literally the opposite of a Karen.
@@Grey_Warden_Invasion nice, even better
Opal: dresses bede in a primarily pink outfit without paying noticing the excessive dessert vibes he now has
Me: states that bede looks *edible* in pink
Maybe humans could become poison type too, for the same reason of Dark Type. People who have toxic relationships and actions, like self-harming or such. I think it is posible in the video logic
Or, humans are "human" type, which is resistant against every type, but also not very effective against them.
That's the only way to have resistance against everything like shown.
Then, they gain another type's ability sometimes.
That doesn't explain how ghosts can effect them.
@@cameoshadowness7757 the ability of ghosts to affect them makes more sense as human type than as normal. They would be "resistant" being able to survive things like shadow claw, but not immune.
@@joshdaboss4663
I still find it far fetched for there to be a human type, yes there is credence but it still seems too far fetched. It just seems more fitting that humans have a variety of types given what humans have been seen to do. But I just don't know.
I would still say, that if they have to have a type, it would need to fit pretty much universal resistance. This also could explain why humans survive and are the dominant species in the Pokemon world, with next to no attacking ability. They, most of the time, just are so resistant to attacks that they can handle Pokemon.
Calling it a human type does seem slightly wrong, though, so I'd almost prefer to call it a human state: as a human, one is resistant to pkmn attacks, but not immune.
@@joshdaboss4663
I say not really, they are smart enough to make things to capture/enslave pokemon, they have a variety of types that work together and make powerful tools that can even change the very nature of a pokemon. While they can resist many tyoes we haven't seen every move type used on them- or used on every kind of person.
So it's just a really weird mixed bag.
12:50 Well, the anime at least seems to present psychic powers and Aura as separate things - psychic powers being purely mind powers, and Aura being more connected to life force (like ki, chakra, Reiatsu, Hamon, and whatnot).
Lockstin: Psychic Type
Me: Ahh, You Mean A Nerd?
We all psychic type then
What about the fact that I think bede’s tasty cake hair is free real estate because it’s got no price tag on it and it’s exposed?
I think Aura might actually be dual Fighting and Fairy-type, given how Fairy is associated with life with Xerneas and Aura is described as life energy. Tapu Lele is also Fairy and associated with life energy. Aura is also mentioned in the Pokedex to be detectable by not just Lucario, but Cutiefly as well, a Fairy-type. However, attacks such as Aura Sphere are still Fighting type, and Lucario is not Fairy, but Fighting. Two different aspects of Aura, perhaps? One more combat-oriented and one more life-oriented?
4:40 To be fair, there are quite a few Fighting-types that are just themed after sports (like Passimian), so being athletic might be justification enough.
There's something that wasn't brought up, and I wonder if it has a connection: In the Canalave Library, Sinnoh folktale 3 mentions how people and Pokemon were indistinguishable at one point, so this might mean that Humans and Pokemon evolved (actual evolution, not game evolution) from the same place. And if that's true, then within the humans of the Pokemon world, they would have the same genes that allow Pokemon to do what they do, but they've become dormant for various reasons. That could explain why people were born with or have the ability to obtain things like ESP or abnormal strength, but others don't
*hits blunt*
me: “do humans have pokemon types?¿?¿?”
5:39 Karen being a dark type makes sense. she yells "BRING THE MANAGER HERE!" in a loud and rude way and has tantrums if she doesn't get her way Than she would creepily stare at you while saying "WELL SORRY B***H MY KIDS CAN'T HEAR YOU WHILE THEY LISTENING TO KIDZ BOP"

I think in some aspects yes-that's called the Zodiac. Some are more in tune with their sign than others but it's kind of like that. It would go like this in my mind: *Aries* - Fire or dragon *Taurus* - Rock *Gemini* - Flying *Cancer* - ghost *Leo* - electric or fire *Virgo* - steel or Rock *Libra* - grass *Scorpio* - poison *Sagittarius* - psychic *Capricorn* - dark *Aquarius* - dragon *Pisces* - water or fairy.
I think I saw you comment on another RUclips channel called Honest.
@@PeterGriffin11 mayhaps you have indeed....
So it could be more like affinities than actual Pokémon types?
@@MrAuthor3DS right exactly. That's how I see it.
Hex Maniac is definitely my type.
maybe the whole psychic ability can be like the midiclhorian thing in star wars, some people like Anakin might have higher chances for psychic abilities
9:45 I think it’s obvious that overall psychic abilities are an “egg move” in humans.
With all the implications that holds for where new psychic lineages come from.
I have a couple other ideas. Who knows someone that can stand outside in freaking -20F degree weather? There's your Ice-type. How about that guy/gal/person who's never warm enough and has the freaking heat on in the house when it's 80F outside? There's your Fire-type. Typed humans are there in the Pokemon world, I'm sure. Maybe they just don't have access to the same level of energy as the Pokemon do, so these "Type behaviors" manifest themselves as just individual weird human quirks.
And here I am, a hyper evolved triple normal type.
3:47 "One of the defining features of fighting type pokémon is a _toned_ , - a _honed_ muscular body."
Hariyama: "Hold my *Thick Fat* "
Well, you can have toned muscles under fat. It's not like sumo wrestlers are puny weaklings or anything.
Goku definitelly is toned,honed,muscular guy

I CANT BELIEVE the Humans with Psychic Powers in Anime and Games were not Explained by Gamefreak TO THIS DAY!
WOW!
Instead they added Fairy Types and made them do... what?!
How lazy can they be, just introducing this and never explaining this?! They even introduced more very recently!
Just dropping the HINT on Pokemon making their Trainers crazy or inhumane as a hobby OR natural Instinct is... MY GOD!
yep. pretty much. normal, typeless, psychic and ghost. and fighting if a human has aura capabilities. it seems to be that mons exert a special type of energy when they use moves. a sucker punch isnt just a dirty tactic, its using dark energy to pull off this move. a person couldnt bite a hypno and expect to do super effective damage just because the human's mean. a human would be like if a pokemon used normalize ability. a person's double kick would still do normal damage.
Types and Moves are being taken rather literally, in this video. Lockstin, I think you should consider that the contribution of Necrozma Lore S/M and USUM added might imply that Types and Moves are actually a soft-magic system independent from what anything is innately capable of.
When you look at it that way, a lot more things become "typeless" and contradictions start to sort themselves out.
Wdym
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 Ultra recon squad referred to Aura, Lifeforce, and typed energy as one word: Lights. They commented that the world we know has many words for the same thing, which they only have 1 word for. The implicaton here is typed energy is not literally what they are, but some sort of typed energy that emulates what it represents' traits.
Suddenly running out of PP and using Struggle makes sense. Along with pokemon that move faster than others having the same Speed stat. The stats and moves are separate from the Pokemon's biology and science.
We’ve all seen a human use a grass type move. So that makes sense
The comparison of chi and ki mentioned in the game Golden Sun make an interesting connection to the energies of the body and mind. This can also relate to the concept of aura in the Pokemon story.
No.
Chi and Ki are the words used in two different languages to describe the same concept. There is NO comparison because they're the same thing.
@@kennethcook9406 I have read they are the same thing. Just saying that in the game of Golden Sun, chi is described as energy of the body, while ki is the energy of the mind.
Honestly your logic for dark type being immune means that tin foil is worthless to me, by that logic I must be immune to psychic type because my autistic brain is litterally completely differently wired, EPIC
Cardio is super important in fighting. A weaker fighter with more Cardio training can take out a Stronger opponent that cant keep up.
Humans are Normal/Psychic/Fighting/Dark type because we can learn these moves we lost the ability to evolve but gained a 4 typings
Or Typeless, it works too.
Normal type (with the ability to get hit by ghost attacks?) but can gain a dual type after learning certain moves and levelling (maybe evolving into fighting by default)
My moveset is: Zen Headbutt, Slack Off, Body Slam, and Frustration.
*I only have Monica in a pokeball* Hehe, Look I got a human.
I think you start as normal type but when you grow and gain characteristics and traits like looks, personality, and hobbies they gain different types based on the current phase their in.
Aura makes the most sense as Fighting. Riolu has aura too, just significantly weaker than Lucario, and they share the fighting type. Aura Sphere itself is Fighting (Psychic's "Pulse" move is Heal Pulse), as is Focus Blast, an attack shown in the anime to function similarly - a "Kamehame Hadoken"
