Bit of a correction/add-on. Oricorio's signature move changes to whatever type it is. So it gets one, ONE fire type move! And it's not even good!
Is it so hard to program a fire-bird to have fire moves besides ONE!?
Revelation dance is pretty good, and thats the point of oricorio to be fair, its other forms dont get moves of their type either, its so you cant just change its forms and have all 4 type moves.
So your telling me that none of the pokemon types are really those types.
pretty neat
Doesn’t incineroar have a flaming belt?
"how did they evolve which such a glaring weakness?" i dunno how did koalas evolve
Hidden Power Fire tho
No mention of the infinite Entei feedback loop?
Every time an Entei barks, a volcano somewhere erupts.
Whenever a volcano erupts, an Entei is born.
Entei don't need eggs. They reproduce verbally.
researchinbreeder This needs more likes
Which came first the volcano or the entei?
@@gamermikemike3931 The volcano. The first Entei was made by Ho-oh. The second one, however...
Oral se....
So each time you piss one off you make it a father?
Can we get a Fire/Grass legendary that burns down forests to make fertile land and then plant healthy trees that make super berries or something?
It must be able to learn Seed Flare.
It's just too appropriate.
Concept is kinda treading a bit too close to Landorous.
If it went out of its way to evacuate forest life, then it could have a nice communal role, and be a land-dweller.
@@runningoncylinders3829 If its a box art legend then maybe thats what its counterpart does? Idk. I need to think more into this...
STAB on Fire moves _and_ Solar Beam? Sounds like the ultimate Sun abuser to me.
DrPumpkinz I got an idea for a new Fire/Grass type, David S. Pumpkins!
Why not it be responsible for the fire. Fire/Grass representing Change or Order , while it's conterpart could be Steel/Poison representing Defiance or Chaos.
I could see the Steel/Poison type as nuclear powered 'robot' that's leaking radiation (also would be the ultimate Fairy killer)
Wait. So is Litten the perfect cat for people with allergies? Because it doesn't shed but burns his hair?
It's the perfect cat for arsonists
Nope. Because what people are allergic to isn't the hair, it's dander, which comes from saliva.
I mean it would stink though! The smell of sulfur and burning hair all the time, not a perfect pet
I think that would make it worse 😅
I always thought that Victini was a fire type because of like how some huge sports and competition events start off with torches being lit like the Olypmica and the Olympic torch
And also because Victini has a burning passion
Showed my Aussie girlfriend this and she said something interesting for Talonflame.
Apparently there are hawks in the Australian outback that use the naturally occurring fires to hunt their prey.
They collect branches and then carry them to an area near their prey. By dropping them onto dry grass and sticks, the hawks literally smoke and burn out their prey from their holes.
They are also a massive pain for firefighters, who can’t predict when a fire will pop up, but if no obvious cause is visible, a lot of the reasons are put down to these birds.
So, alongside literally everything in Australia being poisonous, venomous or just downright deadly, there are also BIRDS THAT DELIBERATELY SET FIRE TO STUFF.
Damn nature. You scary.
According to National Geographic, the bird species that do this include the black kite, the whistling kite, and the brown falcon.
Great, now there's terrorist birds.
I'd agree with the fire typing. As someone from Spain where flamenco dances originate, I can definitely say that fire represents the country quite well. From the people, to the food to the hot ass weather
Australia.Why are you so dangerous.SPIDERS rain from the sky,clouds are shaped like guns,and now birds setting things on fire.Why Australia.
O
Victini is supposed to have some kind of connection to the Olympic torch. Olymics, competition, victory, Victini.
Trivago
Makes sense but I also thought Victini had connections to nuclear fission due to the amount of energy it creates.
Torchs and fireworks. Used to rally spirits and celebrate victories. And the Fourth of July. Remember how it comes from the 'America' region of the Pokemon World and was originally found in its approximation of the Statue of Liberty.
Honestly, I think Psychic type makes less sense for Victini than the Fire type does.
Victini is the best

“Sear” means to burn or scorch. So there’s something for Pansear & Simisear
you forgot pansear pan . pans are related to fire so yeahhh...... I will head myself out

"The sun is basically a fire type" Tell that to Solgaleo
Solgaleo just doesn't care what people want
Tell that to solrock😂😂
jaja true solgaleo its not fire type, but the sun either, the sun its plasma...but it creates heat...and it has heavy metals on in...the sun should be...electric/fire/Steel i guess
in another video he explains solgeleo is psychic because it's based off the alchemical lion eating the sun
The sun is a Fire/Steel type.
About Oriciorio, i am Spanish from Spain. In our culture Flamenco as you said comes for the world Flama (Flame) and it is related to the gypsy ethnic group called in ancient times "Flamencos" because of their considered fiery temperament.
Also the Flamenco dance style is considered a very passionate one. We often descrive a very skilled flamenco dancer as "pure fire". Also, most of the traditional Flamenco dresses are red, and sometimes it gives the ilussion of being on fire while they dance wearing it.
Besides, Flamenco has a lot of versions. I've personally saw some of them who also used fans with red/orange/yellow fabric to make the ilussion as if the dancer controls actual fire.
So yes, i personally find understandable and awesome that Oriciorio Passionate form is based on Flamenco Dancers and it is a fire type.
I think the fact that Oricorio only has one fire type move just adds to the dancer idea. Flamenco dancers don't actually use fire, so why should Oricorio?
if only it had at least one fire move...
Oricorio is unable to learn natural fire moves because of its mechanic. Imagine being able to slap flamethrower/thunderbolt/shadow ball/psychic on a birb that looks like neither of those types
@@Kastor774 To be fair most pokemon can learn a lot of moves that arent their typing already and it's not like game freak has been stopped by things like design when it comes to adding moves that dont make sense. Just look at all the armless pokemon with punching moves. Octilary and slowking both can learn flamethrower in fact. In fact even pokemon like Slurpluff can learn flamethrower and that thing's a fairy type. Even a grass type like gourgiest can learn that. Heck Lapras and gyarados both can learn thunderbolt. Even the nidoran family can even though they're ground poison. Don't even get started on psychic because that one makes no sense half the time with pokemon like Venomoth, Mothim, and Corsola among others learning that. Shadow balls even weirder since a lot of normal types can learn it like Kangaskhan and Exploud on top of the fact other weird choices like the Eevee line, Abomasnow, again corsola, and many others learn it. It really woudlnt be unreasonable for a bird to be able to learn all those moves on top of its signature move.
No, It's fking stupid no excuses.
It's really a big middle finger to Spain to give them a Spanish themed pokemon that is worse than magikarp because at least magikarp turns into something useful.
Generic pedantic response: *Actually, the sun is plasma type.*
So, an electric type?
Em..solgaleo is steel type..
@@weirdomcfreak *you fool, you have activated my r/whoosh card*
r/whoosh
I’m going to change the definition of fire in order to include plasma just to spite you
Guess solgaleo was made by team plasma
I'd love to see a recap of all the typings that make the least amount of sense. Like, a summary of Pokemon that have a type but can't learn any of those moves
I absolutely second this idea, I would love to see that video.
Another possible reason why Reshiram could be fire type, is that it symbolizes Truth. While Zekrom symbolizes ideals which change over time like technology. Thus giving it the electric type. The truth remains the same and burns on not changing, like a fire. Thus, the fire type
who is reshiram in the video
dragullong blackfang Reshiram is Reshiram in the video, obviously! Who else would be Reshiram!
Lockstin just said it, but in "not electric" video. He forgot to say it in this one lol
but its aweser its pretty mediocre
for me it was this zecrom was the thunder of ideal and reshiram was the flame of thruth and ironacly he has a better explanation make it on zecrome
I think it's more that the desire for truth is a burning one, while looking for ideals is electrifying, inspiring, self propelling.
Can I suggest a reason for Victini that might put your mind at ease? What about the phrase " The Flames of Victory"? I think it actually fits quite well for the origin, despite not being the best reasoning.
Ah, also the traditional Olympic flame, particularly given the links to Nike. It's literally meant to represent competitors burning passion to win, so again, despite not being the best reasoning, it's there in minor cultural stuff. At least, from my perspective on it.
As for oricorio, yeah, I got no clue. Can't even justify it by trying to associate it with flashy dance styles, because of the lack of fire type moves. I'm honestly not sure what was going on at gamefreak during that concept phase.
Flamenco is always seen as a passionate dance and the dance and the music often represents very passionate sentiments, even "fiery" ones and fire is often used as symbol and metaphor in flamenco lyrics. Also, the traditional dresses usually are red. and red equals fire, I guess. Also flamenco sounds like flame.
Also, like you said, Nike is shown holding A torch sonetimes.
Actually, the Olympic flame is a great explanation for Victini. It fits Victini's Greek connections and fits the victory theme perfectly. I don't know how Lockstin missed it
I named my Houndour "Heckhound".
Victini makes sense for the “burning passion to win” that most people have, fire oricorio DOESNT though
I thought Victini was fire as for the olympic torch but what you say is also a good point
Fabri Dimonaco EXACTLY! I was scrolling through the comments looking for this lol. The passion of the competitors aiming to win. The flame of the Olympic torch being passed down every game
I think victini is fire type because it is in the unova region which is based on america, it symbolizes victory and the us got victory in WWII from a couple fire balls. It symbolizes little boy I think because it was much smaller than fat man(victini is small) and it was the bomb that convinced japan to surrender.
C:
I’m pretty sure the dance style the fire Oricorio is based off of is all about passion. Oricorio is more of a “loving” passion, Victini is more, as stated a victorious desire.

I know this is an old video, but Incineroar is based off a heel, bad guy in wrestling, hence the species name. The point of a heel is to give the audience someone to root against. The boos they elicit is referred too as "heat." Which makes them stronger. There was an anime that featured a wrester named Tiger Mask. And yeah, he was a heel. Shoutout to PokeKellz and Alex from The Dex for the lesson in pop culture.
you got Victini wrong. you got it wrong in the psychic pokemon video also.
as you mentioned, Victini is related to Nike and Victoria (greek and roman respectively).
but it is fire because it represents the Promethean flame also known as the Olympian flame. or the fire of creation that Prometheus stole from the forge of the God Hephaestus. hence V-Create being a fire move with the word "create" in it's name.
the olympian flame also represents victory as it gets lit right before the olympic games and is extinguished at the closing ceremony.
Victini is fire because it represents that flame, and is psychic because of god power most divine related small pokemon are psychic.
I totally agree
It's really disappointing he didn't know that
I just think he may not have made the connection
I'm someone who studies ancient greek and greek mythology for fun and I myself didn't make the connection
Please give him more likes please, I totally agree with that
I think it could even be on the more simplistic level of "having the burning desire to win"
But the design make a no sense
Every fire type explained: either
-they are red
-they are hot
-they’re on fire. Someone please help them
-game freak said so
They are red.
They are hot.
Should someone help them?
GameFreak thinks not.
Sly Cactus HA!
Sly Cactus origins too, and most fire types are more orange than red.
Blacephalon?
Because in real life fire is more orange than red.
In some versions of the Salamander myth, the salamander has breath that kills (literally), and in other versions, it has, instead of fiery, icy capabilities (its skin is so cold, it will put out any fires it walks into)
Watching this while amazon is on fire
Watching this while the world is on fire
The reason why Pyroar may be fire could also be, because of the zodiac signs.
Leo, the lion, is categorized as fire sign, together with Aries and Sagittarius. Hence the fire typing.
Don't forget Leo is the middle fire zodiac so he's ruled by the sun
Yes. Lions as a symbol are also strongly related to the Sun (and to kings, who share the Sun symbolism)
plus sekhmet
@@Hyavobi Sekhmet?
On the Simisear thing, it's also mimicking bikers, who make a lot of noise with bikes. Each of the Simis are based on a Japanese delinquent - Simisear is bikers who make so much noise they are effectively deaf to you (hear no evil), Simisage is Yankii who are loud talkers who say nothing of important (speak no evil), and Simipour is... I forget the term but they are essentially valley girls blinded by their obsession with fashion (see no evil)
Literally the evil actions they chose make them deaf, mute, or blind
Should have been part dark type to be honest
Yeah thats true. The fire does make some decent sense for Simisear. I don't think the dark would really fit unless they made their behavior similar to them as well. Design wise, yeah but it may need a bit more intimidating. Behavior wise, the monkeys don't really seem to bother anyone. Dex entries talk about their abilities most of the time anyways.
The term for the biker delinquents on which Simisear seems to be based is 'Bosozoku', while Simipour looks to be based on the Kogal subculture.
Also note how Simisear's tail resembles a cloud of smoke, as though from a motorbike exhaust.
For all the hate they get, the Semis are actually really interesting and fun.
their designs are just
SO ugly though
Also the fluff in his neck resembles a biker jacket.

Large flame on the right side of the screen: *exists*
Whimsicott: Ah sh*t
Rotom Frost: Armageddon is approaching, we should all leave.
For Victini, it’s actually based on the fact that a victory dance could potentially start a fire at the winner’s feet because of all the sweat.
Also,Talonflame strogly resembles a falcon, bird that has a conection with Ra, the Egyptian god of the sun. And sun=fire
Could also be based off of the Indigenous tales of Firehawks in Australia, which very recently have been discovered to be an actual thing. The birds will actually pick up any embers, or burning sticks and carry them across rivers, snatching up animals that run away from the spreading bush fire.
Tell that to Solgaleo
talonflame looks like a darpy eagle to me aloy
Solgaleo doesn't think so
Technically the sun is plasma. It's damn hot though so I'll allow it. 🔥
Actually, the whole hot-blooded thing is enough to make Victini a fire type, if Japanese symbolism and culture is acceptable. Fire is often used in media to represent bravery and victory - so much so that fire's a huge focus of the anime series Mobile Fighter G Gundam, where it seems it's literally weaponising bravery and desire to win.
...as for Oricorio, it's type switching is JUST for Revelation Dance. Nothing else. But the type makes sense, because of the dance style's Spanish origins, and general symbolism of passion (which, regardless of the emotion is represented by FIRE). It's just a shame it doesn't learn other moves of its type, or that may benefit from its type.
Hidden Power Fire.
I agree with Victini wholeheartedly, but Oricorrio’s fire typing is still a bit of a weak argument.
Deltaru I was thinking for Victini it’s based off of the torch of the Olympic Games.
Japanese symbolism is more than just acceptable. The whole game was developed in Japan, so that local culture is going to be the primary focus for most design decisions... and some people seem to either forget or ignore that many Pokemon in general are based on puns, so the "flame" in flamenco is being used as exactly that.
I feel Victini is fire type due to it having endless energy. This endless energy is converted into fire or flames when it uses its moves and can even be converted into a few other coverage moves.
The backs of the cyndaquil line’s back literally explodes
It's worth noting that Incineroar's fire typing is also a literal interpretation of "heat" in wrestling. Being a heel (bad guy wrestler), he is intentionally characterizing himself to be disliked by the audience, and the reactions (booing, etc.) is called heat. And Incineroar gets more powerful from this, as the Pokédex states (Heels also are shown to perform better when they receive more heat). Not to mention, this also makes it the fire starter with the best reasoning for having Blaze as its Ability (losing, or being bad at fighting can be a reason for getting heat in wrestling, so being damaged = more power ties into all this as well).
nice name
GreninjaSexParty
Not to mention its belt of fire. Incineroar (and Torracat, for its fire bauble) really should be in the first category.
Unrelated to the topic of this video, but being a heel wrestler is also why it's a Dark type rather than Fighting (thank Mew). Heels are the 'bad guys' that often use dirty tricks and tactics (not necessarily CHEATING but hardly honorable), and their character is often portrayed as being sinister or corrupt 'dark' versions of normal 'face' wrestlers.
Plus Dark is weak to Fighting, and Heels exist to be awesome by making you want to beat them up in a match.
Not to mention his belt made out of literal fire

How do you know it was bad timing?
I think incineroar is fire type because heel wrestles (what incineroar is based on) generate "heat". In pro wrestling, heat refers to both crowd reaction and real-life animosity between those involved in the professional wrestling business. In terms of crowd reaction, heat is usually either cheers for a babyface or boos for a heel. The amount of heat a wrestler generates is often an accurate gauge of his popularity.
Ah nice theory, that makes sense. Not to mention its flaming wrestling belt
Also, Incineroar looks like Tiger the Dark from anime Tiger Mask W which started its run a few weeks prior to the release of Sun & Moon
Generating heat fits more with its dark typing than its fire typing. Besides, the previous evolutions were fire anyway.
also his wasteline is literally on fire
CGabo l. Yeah, that anime is based on an actual fictional wrestler, Black Tiger (I think). Incineroar is based on that actually.

28:25 "There is ZERO reason for a Pokemon to have a type if it can't utilize it at all!" Looks at Gyarados's flying typing.
It learns Hurricane naturally and Bounce through tutoring.
It has four white wings along its spine, and the Mega even resembles a kite. The only reason the Mega lost Flying is because it got super angry.
It didn't get Bounce until Gen 4, though. It had no flying stab for 3 generations. And even that is tutor only. And it didn't get Hurricane until Gen 7, so it didn't get any flying stab naturally for 6 generations.

Nice
This may be an old video, but this series intrigues me. Victini is my favorite pokemon, and at the time of its release, I thought the typing fire/psychic was not only super cool but fitting for it. Fire/Psychic is still one of my favorite duel types; however, I can stand by and say that if fairy type had been a thing when Victini was released, it would have been a fairy instead of fire.

@@phelps6205 That Lucario was a naughty boy.
lockstin, the tail flame on the charmander line is incredibly hard to put out, even surviving under water, implying that instead of the pokemon dying when it goes out, the flame just goes out when it dies
Good lord I can't tell you how many people don't get this
A real chicken and egg problem there.
That makes Ash charmander more sad, his tail would of just made smoke in the rain, and he would of been fine, but being abandoned means it probabaly lost the will to live.
Lost the will to live because it was abandoned by its previous trainer, it also was likely sick due to hypothermia and the abusive trainer beating it, and likely starving it as well. That's why its tail was starting to go out, plus contact with water for fire types is inherently unpleasant to the point of pain, so being weak as it was and essentially hammered by needles from the sky lead to it almost dying. The keeping its tail lit is basically like CPR as I'm guessing the flame on their tails has some form of life support function that can result in its death if extinguished. In this sense their tail flames are like a human heart, can be stressed and come out fine, but if it fails will result in death.
Let me start this comment by saying I enjoyed the video. If I were gym leader, there is a 50/50 chance I would be a fire type leader.
Now, I know I'm late to the party, but I'm just learning about your videos and just going through and watching them. I don't know if there's a way to update videos retroactively, but this video needs an update. "Gypsy" is considered a racial slur with the correct term being "Romani people," and the picture you chose to represent the Romani people at 27:34 is of a cheap costume. I feel like a person who defines their channel with researching origins and detailed historical aspects of gaming should be concerned with the accurate portrayal of a oppressed peoples. :)

@Ice I know that in some cultures they eat the brain of a monkey or use it in certain medicine. Maybe that's why his skull is on fire?
Both? theres 3

I think victini is meant to by the nuclear bomb Pokemon as the pokedex entry states 'Victini possesses an unlimited force of fiery energy blazing within its body' and the V is representing the victory symbol used by people from the victorious countries after they won the war
Please take note that Pokémon is made by a JAPANESE company.
Now, I’m not saying that it’s impossible… but that idea is definitely pretty far out there. I just can’t see anyone in Japan associating nuclear weapons with “victory”.
@@chrisschoenthaler5184 True, however, the country that used the bomb (America) and the country that used v for victory (UK) were separate and the v was used for victory after the allied powers won which happened before the dropping of the atomic bomb so I think it’s a merging of separate concepts rather than it meaning the nuclear bomb was a victory.
While yes, Game Freak is a Japanese company, they took inspiration from New York City when making the Unova region. So, since Victini is a Unova pokemon, maybe they used America's view of the atomic bombs instead of Japan's view?
As a pyromaniac, I LOVE fire types with all of my heart, and I’m warming up to water types as a marine biologist
Should I be worried about you near matches?
I’m pretty sure you shouldn’t be admitting the fact you have pyromania. It is a mental illness after all.
sir
sir i dont think being a pyromaniac is a good thing
dasani water bottle *warming* up to water types
Dude, the fire types are mah BOIS!
I love the Pokémon: Origin of Species fanfic for what it does in situations such as Charmander's tail. It treats it as a classic case of confusion between action and causation, which leads to legends showing that extinguishing the tail would lead to death, when the opposite is true.
I wanna read that!
Incineroar: *literally has a flaming belt around its waist*
Lockstin: Fire type because passion? No other reason? UwU I guess!
Don't expect much from this channel. This guy is a literal dumbass
reason as in backstory or cultural relevance. pokemon in general are based off of myths, cultural associations, and homages to rumours. you can slap a flaming belt on anything and call it a fire type, but _why_ is it actually fire? what fire-related story or piece of culture is it referencing? that's what he means by it having no reason to be a fire type. it has no deeper connection than just having fire drawn on it
Aya Mafeik The thing is, not every pokémon needs some cool mythos or real life animal it’s based on. Like it’s a cool thing to dig into, I tend to like this channel a lot, but saying those two things are the only way to make a pokémon deserve it’s typing is so limiting creatively.
@@Hellothere-lk7xi Ah crap, I can't have my fire horse anymore. Horses can't catch on fire in real life... or else they die.
Stupid Gamefreak, they should have made Rapidash into a Ghost type. What were they thinking?
He meant lore wise you whino
I think cyndaquill's evolution line is referencing kitsunebi. I need to start to explain this from quilava. I think quilava is based on fox. in japanese folklore, there is a fox yokai (I dont know if it has a name or some past japanese just think that all fox are yokai) that pulls tricks on human, and one of the trick is using kitsunebi (fox fire). it is said that they can lit their tail to be burned on fire (hence the fire on its butt) and release the fire ball from it to fly around to make human follow it and get lost or get injured (or even die).
I think, cyndaquill itself is referencing the kitsunebi. cyndaquill's signature move was flame wheel. when it is used in anime, it is rolling and making the fire on its back engulfing all of its body and then it slams the opponent with its flaming rolling body. when using the skill, cyndaquill is resembling ball of flame, and maybe referencing kitsunebi. it is said that if several kitsunebis fusing, they would becoming a fox yokai
for typhlosion, there are (or maybe were, I dont know if it is still exist) people who live on volcanos in japan. in japan, mountains are sacred place, and these people are said to can see spirits and cleanse people from bad spirit (this is why hisuian typhlosion is ghost type). it is said that they are capturing ghost fox as their familiar (this is the connection of this people and kitsunebi). they are also referenced in digimon as sakuyamon. the name is sakuyamon because they are worshipping volcano goddess, sakuya konohana. I think typhlosion is bipedal because they are referencing these people
I’m surprised neither Ho-Oh or Moltres don’t have a signature fire type healing move.
Or an ability in which it heals after being hit by fire moves.
I prefer the "written by a 10 year old kid" method of explaining the outrageous Pokedex entries. 18000 degrees Fahrenheit is enough to easily vaporize you.
I'd agree, but how does a 10 year old know about haerums to write Salazzle's entry?
@@poke-maniacchris2965 the same way a 10 year old discovers porn
i will agree, but thats not enough to destroy planet. it may just be it internal temperature, it would still be hot, but it not enough to destroy earth. it would burn everything in a radiius sure, but it not destroy earth.
my question is why a Japanese company is using Fahrenheit int the first place
AtomicCubing Because that’s what it was turned to for US audiences. Meanwhile most countries use the more correct Metric system instead of the outdated Imperial system... yet all English copies use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius for some ridiculous reason!
Incenaroar also shoots fire from it's FLAMING BELT. It should have been in your "literally on fire" category honestly.
Munch KING the little bell on Torracat is one of those “flame sack” things they talk about too
seems weird to ignore that all the fire starters are based on the chinese zodiac so that’s why a pig and cat/tiger are fire types. it’s one of the most fun design trivia bits in all of pokémon.
This talk of fire reminds me of the time I taught my emboar a water type move where it spits boiling water at the target (scald?) With this one move I cleared out my friends entire party in one hit each time.
How GOOD was the DRAGON typing actually?
Wait wrong channel
Lol hey it's another FSG fan
How GOOD was SUNFLORA actually?
-Much stronger than Landorus and Tapu Koko for sure.
On a scale of PU to AG OU
You looking for False swipe gaming 😂
It was glorious, powerful, one may even say it was legendary. But then a the faefolk arrived.
Gamefreak's vision on Oricorio's fiery style:
>Adds fire type.
>Makes it unable to use any fire moves except one.
>The move is a signature move because Oricorio.
>Gamefreak calls it a day and leaves it alone for probably forever.
no it's because it creates fire
It'll probably have a move tutor somewhere down the line, or some egg moves.
I wouldn’t count it’s signature move because it’s a Normal type move that changes effect based on its form
Hold up. Just imagine Cyndaquil and/or it’s evolutions (hopefully I spelled that right) is in a bad mood, so you try to calm it down by stroking it on the back like a cat. Okay? Then it sneezes. Welp, say goodbye to your house! Or, yourself!
11:43 kyū bi no kitsune (九尾の狐/きゅうびのきつね) actually translates to nine tailed fox, as kitsune is just fox in Japanese.
There is a reason for Victini being fire type, although it is a pretty deep cut. There are some who believe that Victini is the personification of the nuclear bomb. This idea stems from the "victory" element of its character, Winston Churchill was famous for popularising the "V" hand signal (tying victini to WWII), while it was the nuclear bomb which ultimately led to allied victory in WWII. Furthermore its signature move "V-create" has the highest base power of any non-Z move in the game, second only to (ironically) self-destruct & explosion . Finally the fact that Unova is based of Manhattan links it to the Manhattan project, which was the code-name for the research division which developed the Nuke.
(also this is a stretch but the psychic part could also be nuclear fallout, as radiation from Nukes have been known to cause both mutations and brain damage, pretty twisted for Pokemon but then again it's just a theory)
WTF My mind has been blown O_o
AntOnADog Howler Probably not. References to nuclear weapons are taboo in Japanese media for adults. The Pokémon series is to kid friendly to risk such a reference.
Or it’s just cause Nike is a patron goddess of the olympics, and the Olympic flame is a thing
and yet... Gojira. Actually quite a lot of things like that. If Nuclear weapons are taboo, then its a taboo they can't seem to help but bring up. Often. Like how someone who's been abused or assaulted sometimes can't help but fixate and always relate things back to the period in which they were attacked.
"It's just a theory" A game theory. Literally because it's a theory about a game.
*i guess you can say fire types are lit*
pls dont get top coment
Buh dum *CRASH*
Typical Meme oh yeah
😎😎😎😎
I hate that joke but I liked the comment
Litten get it right.
My thought process is Inceneroar being a dark/fire is because it's a wrestler. Being a dark type it's a heel (bad guy) and when a heel is able to get the crowd to boo them they draw "heat" 😉
*Your explanations is making my mind explode!*
_how do you even speak that fast? without even looking at any notes!_
Was just thinking about with Victini. In some Japanese animes when a character is pumped up to win something or defeat someone you sometimes see fire in their eyes like a fire is burning inside their soul to fuel them to win.
and Victini being the lucky Pokemon (I think at least...?), they say luck is a part of every victory!
David Mock Victini is also based on the god of victory. Where does said god originate? Greece. What did they do in ancient times, to celebrate that god, among others? The Olympics. And what do the Olympics always start with? The lighting of a torch. So it is symbolism at it’s finest.
It could well be partly based off that anime trope. The visual form of burning passion.
Actually, in the Platinum expansion, the Magmar line and Houndoom line were added, along with pre-national eevee. But yeah, the lack of fire-types in the original Diamond&Pearl was super annoying.
He said diamond and pearl not gen 4
The fire type gym leader had a water octopus.
24:30 Ah yes, one has not encountered the bomber known as Bagel Geese.
"Oh I'm gunna ride that thing"
-Lockstin 2018
Lol
Did he call Charizard "Chorizo"?
threw me off when he pronounced "seoul" and "say-ole"
Chorizo bad
I did in my Pokemon X playthrough
He sure did
Passion is symbolized with fire, that dance style is all about passion. Symbolism.
Same with Victory. Search the powers of deities of victory.
Imagine evolving a metal exoskeleton only for your predator to evolve fire that burns hotter than jet fuel.
25:30 i really thought that every single castform form represents:
Normal- Water molecule (the head is a oxygen atom, and the other 2 are hydrogen)
Fire- One of the 3 states of the matter (in this case gas)
Water- i don't need to say
Ice- i don't need to say either because ice is solid water
I mean..Fire isn’t exactly gas, and the sun is plasma.
@@testerwulf3357 i know that is plasma, i know a lot about the universe, but water at high temperatures becomes what? Water in gas state and remember the sun is super hot
@@cristiano7541 Water, even heated up, doesn't become fire so..the fire typing is a bit random for that..fire is a chemical reaction, it's not matter nor really a state, it's energy. I get what it represents though, and it's not the state of matter, rather the water cycle in a way. The sun heats up and evaporates the water (sunny form), this turns into clouds(normal), which then rain or hail or snow (snowy and rainy forms), then it falls to the ground to be evaporated again (normal, because there are still clouds which will soak up evaporated water).
I still wish they were just forms for each weather type..I want that sandstorm castform!
Every fire type:
Here’s a creature, now it’s red and on fire
You uploaded this on 9/11 and you said jet fuel can’t melt steel beams
Oh my god
He's right tho... Bush did it
@@LeonorFontes tfw 2 woke
truther are just way to dumb not to make jokes about.
Jet fuel didn't melt the beams, the beams broke due to extreme force and the heat from the explosion of the planes
This makes me even _more_ want to catch an Oricorio Baile-Style, this was funny.
People arguing that "it makes sense sinnoh only has 2 fire type families because it's the coldest region" think that's a good arguement.
Until you actually look at the diamond and pearl pokedex and realize there are actually less ice types than there are fire types.
There is a Chinese mythical bird very similar to ho-oh called the fenghuang. The feather colors are similar, and the Japanese way to pronounce fenghuang is ho-o. The fenghuang is a completely different fiery bird from a phoenix, but it is often translated from Chinese to English as phoenix anyway. It is also distinct from the vermilion bird, which is also not a phoenix, and is only vaguely related by the fact its feather colors represent the same elements the vermilion bird, black turtle/snake/warrior, white tiger, azure dragon, and yellow dragon are symbols for.
maybe ho-oh is based on that bird you talked about
Thank you, I was looking for this
I remember first learning about the fenghuang
LordAziki that’s cool
27:20 Big error mister, the spanish word for FLAME is "FLAMA" not "flemma".
Another thing: "FLEMMA" isn't even an spanish word but "FLEMA" (with only 1 M) is, and means "phlegm".
The "Flamenco dance" its danced with "Fiery Passion", thats why Oricorio is fire type.
The phlegm bird pokemon
Disney reference?
Flaming passion. Fire, maybe _Hellfire_ ?
Gipsies dance this dance a lot?
Yes, flaming passion alone was not enough for me ^^
Yup
I lmao when he said flemma 🤣
Flama exists in Spanish. It's very unused but it does mean Flame.
Where do you think the Spanish word 'flamante' come from?
When I listen to gods country i picture houndoom as the devil that went down to goegA
Victini might be a fire type, because when you win, it gets you excited, energetic and happy, and... that's all I got. (Energetic... if so.. maybe it should be an *electric* type. But we've already got Zekrom in Gen 5.)
The Spanish word form Flame is Llama that comes from an older Spanish and more unused word, Flama.
Flemma does not exist and Flema (only one m) means Phlegm.
I came to the comment section just for this.
So llamas are creatures of the flame
Rahul Maru and
Sacred
"Flame is Llama"
well some also use flama so it could be that,but yeah,flemma is not a word lol
Victini lives on practically Liberty Island. Victini could just also be based on the torch or even the Olympic flame.
Love fire types not just due to their typing. But due to its destructive yet beautiful nature. That and Leo, Aries, and Saggitarius are the 3 signs of fire.
The pokedex makes a lot more sense when you remember its filled out by a bunch of ten year olds skipping school to go on adventures.
Kyuubi no Kitsune literally just means Ninetailed fox.
Victini:
Nike is the goddess of Victory of Mount Olympus’ pantheon. The most notable symbol of the Olympic Games is...the flame to represent the sacred flame kept during ancient times during the games. Pokémon battles are often set like how sports are so having Victini be a little god that cheers on whom it deems worthy to win and even blesses them with a little edge in combat is quite appropriate. The connection doesn’t have to be direct like ‘it’s a thing on fire’
For a stretch Chariots of Fire is a movie involving the 1924 Paris Olympics and Nike’s Roman counterpart Victoria is depicted in a chariot usually.
That little tidbit of Pokedex lore for Magcargo reminds me of how the Gold Pokedex entry inadvertantly implies Lanturn produces more energy than the entire known universe by claiming it can light up the oceans surface from over 3 miles below the water 🤣
I think the reason oricorio (flamingo style)is fire type is because of the outfits that the lady’s wear are red and since duo flamingo dancing has a lot of twirling and jumping,the dress is moving as vibrant as fire.
Victini on the other hand is more complicated,but my theory is that since stuff like medals or trophies are made by easy blacksmith tricks,and fire is a part of making it,the main symbols of victory are forged by fire.
Hence the fire type for both
