Fun fact: a popular theory on why Chicago is the “Windy City” isn’t cuz it’s actually windy, rather that it was coined in reference to Chicago’s bloviating residents and politicians, who were deemed to be “full of hot air.” Granted this is only a theory, but it does kinda fit unfortunately. Does make Shedinja an even better fit in a way tho
My GF and I are from Minnesota and were caught off guard when you used MN in the intro as an example, which made us want to watch the whole thing until you got to us. She was so offended when you couldnt think of anything bad to say and just called us boring. All around, great video, please keep doing stuff like this.
I'm a Minnesotan too! I thought it was so funny how pretty much every other state got roasted good and we barely got seared lol. Minnesota isn't even that boring, so I honestly take it as a compliment that everything else here is even better if that's the worst thing about our state lol
Fellow Minnesotan, and yeah while its kind of sad to not have anything to be roasted on (besides our middling sports teams), it is very us because not being notable can be good, in fact a lot of the deep lore and history of the state turns us more into a badass black sheep of the midwest.
This could easily be a 3-part series of videos. First you did the worst state traits, next you can do the states’ best traits, and then you could potentially create a Pokémon to represent each state! Granted, the last one would take a lot of work and multiple videos (probably by regions), but it would definitely be an interesting project.
After watching all of them having South/North Dakota just being "no one cares" compared to "this place is a literal drug riddled hellscape" is a HUGE compliment
Neither Dakota is anywhere near the worst for drugs, not even in the top 10. It'd be nice if people would just quit moving here and let it be forgotten
Yeah no offense but…Texas is full of hot air and needs to get over the fact it’s a failed country cause they couldn’t handle the idea of being Mexican but we’re too weak to not be bought out by the Union, that it threatens to leave but still wants the benefits of being a part of like a parasitic 40 year old “alpha male” that refuses to get a job and leave the house.
Love that you were not only doing a Huggbees-style format but doing a very convincing impression of him, if I closed my eyes I'd almost forget which channel I was on. (Though the tell here is I feel like Huggbees would make fun of anyone who knew more than like, ten Pokemon off the top of their head.)
Wishiwashi works for downstate NY, but I think Mimikyu would work for upstate: it wants to be popular, so it tries to ride the coattails of a well-known entity nearby.
There are a states that are solely focused on the city in the state thinking the city is the state, like New York City for New York, another is Seattle for Washington, Portland for Oregon, Chicago for Illinois,
@@Winterfur1Portland is a sore spot here in Oregon, since it's them and the rest of the Willamette Valley that sets the policies for everywhere else. Washington at least has Tacoma and Spokane as part of conversation.
As a michigander, Revavroom was such a slam dunk, in honor of the beat up horror that used to be the auto industry combined with the roads that never get fixed.
You should do a sequel to this in which you ask Poketubers from various countries to roast their country with a 'mon. Simultaneously keeps the blame off yourself and allows others to share their perspectives.
The analysis of Tennessee was on point. If you move from another state, you won’t realize how expensive the cost of living here is until years later. If you’re a native, you’ve lived your whole life on pennies, not knowing anything better. It really does drain you after a while, just like a Chandelure.
Everything he said about Montana is painfully true, but jeez dude, I'd honestly rather you just shot me than hit me with "There might be a mountain lion or minority in the area" that cut was deep and I loved every second of it

The boiled peanuts joke is incredibly accurate, you can’t drive two miles without finding a farmer’s market or small store selling the stuff in Georgia
he hit some deep cuts here, i didnt even know about the boiled peanuts thing until this video. Georgia are you guys okay, is boiling your peanuts a cry for help?
It's hot boiled peanuts that are good. Canned peanuts are horrible. You also gotta remove the shell. Also, oddly enough, South Carolina produces more peaches than us
Lockstin: would anyone care if Stakataka stopped being a Pokémon? Me, who's liked it ever since I started getting into Pokémon: *Allow me to introduce myself.*
Iowans are neither the worst or the best of the states, we're pretty neutral territory once you get down to it. And he's right we don't have much going for us, but we own not having much going for us.

He's even doing a Huggbees impression with his voice this is awesome. Now do the flags and greeting signs Thanks for the heart! (gone when you edit comments) One single criticism: the content warning/viewer discretion advisory should’ve been at the beginning of the video instead of the description. I realized it was a Huggbees parody before I read the description.
Never before have I been prouder as a Massachusetts resident than to see a Bostonian smug snek toss Polteageist into the harbor and Stan the Red Sawks. I’d hug Servine, but I’m probably allergic.
As a Massachusetts native, I support this. Though, we kinda DO have a reason to be stuck up about ourselves, since Boston IS kinda the origin point for a LOT of Early American History, so...
Honestly, he said “Think of something about Nevada that has nothing to do with deserts or Las Vegas” and my mind immediately went to the toxic waste stored there. 27:24
Weirdly I thought of the salt flats but then I couldn’t remember if they were actually in Nevada… they are but goes to show that I still technically had to look something up
As a New Yorker, the choice of Wishiwashi is not only painfully accurate but absolutely hilarious because that's my favorite Water-type pokemon and is even in my top 10. From now on, I will always nickname one "Fuggedaboutit"
I love charizard but i agree how gamefreak always uses charizard for almost every pokemon game again and again that it's unfair for the other starters 😅
Honestly, people probably wouldn’t hate California as much if the Hollywood chunk of it didn’t keep trying to act like it’s the best thing ever …a lot like Charizard, really: it’s a perfectly good design and a fun Pokémon, people just don’t like being told OVER AND OVER “hey isn’t Charizard cool?”
@@valasafantastic1055 It really is a nice place to live though too so I take this as a surprise Delaware propaganda to give us such a great Pokemon as a "dis" haha! Like yeah, our main problem is we're forgettable and small, but that really doesn't matter so much when you're 3 hours drive from NYC, 2 hours drive from D.C., few hours drive for Norfolk VA, and maybe right around the corner from Philedelphia depending how close you are to Wilmington. Probably our main downside is needing a car to get around but outside of that, it's like living close enough to make a day trip to more prominent places but living far enough away that you get peace and quiet and clean air out in the farmland and beaches. ...And there's the no sales tax of course.
@@RWAsur To be honest, I was just pointing out the simplicity in Mew's design. I also love Raichu. I used Aloloan Raichu in my playthrough of Ultra Sun, where I managed to get a shiny Lugia on my first visit to the Ultra Wormhole.
I love AZ. I’m from southern AZ and i truly believe we have THE best Mexican food in the US…. But I also fear going outside so… I guess at least we don’t do daylight savings???
As a marylander, i personally love hearing people roast our flag lol Granted, i still think it's at least a bit more interesting to look at than all the "solid color with a symbol in the middle" flags out there-
Minnesota is getting a new flag and I just had a really funny idea for a flag: Maryland but with white and black quarters. Better than Just Duluth's Flag (tm).
Additionally this would actual have symbolism, specifically as a symbol for native Dakota people and that our state also starts with an M. Again, this has more actual symbolism than Just Duluths Flag (tm).
As someone from Louisiana, our state had so much great potential to be one of the best to live in. We got the culture, the great food, and overall New Orleans (until 2020) was fun to visit. Unfortunately due to our absolutely horrible corrupt government which roots back to whenever the French and Spanish was there, we are now suffering from the fact our Governors don't care about us and rather use the oil money to fund their useless projects that never go anywhere. This is also why our roads, and pollution is so bad in the state. And anywhere that has a ton of trees we will hide in because we are overheating everyday from the absolutely torturous heat that prevents us from exercising until October comes back. I wish you would've roasted us more lmao.
Oh yes, the great food in Louisiana. Back in the summer of 2018, I was part of a large school trip that went to New Orleans. One of the students was vegan. At least one place that we went to, the "vegan" option had BUTTER in it. Now, as someone who is not vegan, I don't have a problem with butter, but I do have a problem with it being served in something specifically labeled as THE vegan option. Also, stop pretending that gumbo actually tastes good; that stuff is gross (and of COURSE, the butter incident was at the gumbo place which does not improve my opinion of the stuff). Maybe you people just think it tastes good because that's what you grew up with. As someone who grew up in the Midwest, gumbo isn't good food. Another restaurant managed to ruin PASTA by putting way too much of something that I hope was salt on it. How do you manage to ruin PASTA? In terms of food, the best part of that trip was the restaurant that we went to for diner on the first day of travel before we even reached Louisiana.
As a Minnesotan I was laughing hysterically at being compared to putting food in the freezer. Ad gonna hit my Floridian friend with the roast for them for sure
I literally did not know maine wasn't a peninsula until this video. A RUclips VIDEO RIPPING ON AMERICA TAUGHT ME MORE THAN THE U.S. EDUCATION SYSTEM...
@@Privatebean9183 Our education system is trash. That is what I meant by sad. Just like how cartoons that I grew up with taught me more than my teachers ever did.
@@Privatebean9183 When it comes to education, be glad about that, regardless of where you're from. Education (at least in my state) is a joke. I learned more from watching kids shows than I ever did from my teachers.
OF COURSE MARYLAND IS ONE OF THE MOST VIEWED PARTS OF THE VIDEO! 😂 I actually made a Maryland themed Pokémon team back in the day. Kingler: Crabs are inevitable. Everything shall evolve into crab. (And you best believe it comes with Old Bay.) Sunflora: Our state flower is the black eyed susan sunflower. Blaziken: Maryland is the home state of Perdue Farms. Escavalier: Our state sport is *jousting.* Maryland was the first state to have an official state sport and we had the BALLS to say *JOUSTING.* Corviknight: Referencing Edgar Allen Poe's the Raven. Ditto: The only Pokémon that has ANY chance of replicating the shape of Maryland.
As someone from Michigan I would like to explain how we got the Upper Peninsula. To make a long story short the US gave it to us so we wouldn’t go to war with Ohio over Toledo, yes this actually happened. Also I’m surprised you didn’t bring up our weather.
I was so disappointed when I found out that Washington's "rainy cloudy weather" was pretty much the same as Michigan's. We put up with all these clouds and we don't get any credit for it at all!!
39:06 I’m so in agreement with you as a Pennsylvanian that has lived in both major cities. Also I would love to know where you had that cheesesteak because Philly’s problem is half the population tells visitors the WRONG place to get a cheesesteak from. If they tell you to go to Pats or Genos, they set you up for failure.
"Your state is terribly polluted / corrupt / impoverished / depressed / addicted! Wow! That sucks." - Lockstin, to every US state. Almost seems like some kind of pattern... all these elected officials throwing their citizens under the bus for industry support and campaign contributions... Hope someone figures out how to fix that stuff soon.
As the resident Wyomingite, I can confirm that this is only partially true. We are the fiftieth state because we only have fifty people. The city with the lowest population is a population of ONE.
I’m from Arizona and I couldn’t wait for Lockstin to roast my home state. He did legitimately make me laugh out load with the “confusion” remark! It’s funny because it’s definitely true!
That savage dissing of new mexico is not something I was expecting. I just expected you to make the easy joke but you did the research and went for the throat. Mad respect my man.
Gimmighoul also fits Pennsylvania well because it's one of only three states that imposes a post-mortem will tax. Something I'm surprised you didn't mention, but it still fits nonetheless.
Utah is 200% accurate. Also I can't decide whether you made the water polo joke thinking water polo actually uses horses or whether that is part of the joke
As a rare Utahan that isn`t part of the collective 90% Mormon hive-mentality that is making money-honey for the Bewear of the LDS church, I can mostly agree with the assessment. However, behind the scenes there is a slow-going spiritual war going on here where some worker-bees occasionally break free of the Borg hivemind and either go off into their lonesome atheism or join a Baptist denomination as they explore learning about God on a more personal level with other individuals. There are many "spiritual captives" in this state, and it can take a while for those under the bear`s influence to find a spiritual safe haven if/when they leave.
Welcome to "Roasting the Nation" with Lockstin. I don't think I've ever laughed that hard, and for that long in my life. Easily my favorite video of yours to date. As a South Carolinian myself, while I personally don't hold on to our State's "past", I do like your choice of Slowbro, simply because of it's easy-going nature, and I do find it easy to zone out while relaxing in the area that I live.
I was waiting for Lockstin to give my homestate, Maryland, a roasting based on bad stuff over there. I was not expecting our shape and flag to be roasted, but thinking about it and looking at them, it makes sense.
I'm a New Yorker, but my family is mostly MA and my bro and I have been saying "SERVINE" at each other for half an hour as snooty as possible. I cried laughing. 100% win.
Having lived in Texas, Indiana, Illinois, The Dakotas, Georgia, Carolinas, and Nevada, I have to agree with all that was said about those states. Very apt description. I want to see more of this where you just roast states. Maybe you could try countries?
@@matthewdavenport9549 be specific about in which direction it’s biased. You can’t just call something that’s political “biased.” It has to be biased in a direction. “Politically” isn’t a direction.
@@Dock143 don't be obtuse. A direction doesn't have to be stated. Saying something is politically biased simply means that it is influenced by that persons political alignments. Hell, you can't even really boil that down to a singular direction all the time because individuals might lean different directions on different issues.
Haha yeah - pretty sure it consistently ranks as one of the worst states. There's a reason millions of citizens are leaving 🤷♂️ The easy answer is one of the trash/pollution 'mon; Trubbish, Muk, Wheezing, etc
As a South Carolinian, the whole “never letting go” is hands down the defining trait of this state. We have one of the most heated college football rivalries that no one outside the state cares about, we hang on to terrible politicians that no one seems to like because we’re afraid of change, and there are soooo many confederate flags. Heck, I remember in grade school when we learned about the start of the civil war, we were taught that it was cool that cadets from the Citidel( our military academy) were probably one of the first troops to fire on fort.
As someone who’s lived in Georgia her entire life, I can confirm everything Lockstin said about the state is pretty true. I also think a water type or a member of the torchic line could’ve worked. If you know why I say that then feel free to leave a comment.
As a Floridian.. kinda surprised we didn’t get Feraligtr… who is basically a meth gator. The descriptor for spectreir makes an amount of sense, but I don’t think it really resonates as Florida. I mean.. we literally throw baby alligators through drive through windows…
As an American, I approve of this entire video. Edit: As an Ohioan, I'm disappointed that you didn't mention how fitting the steel-typing of Klang also fits the only interesting thing in this state built of steel - rollercoasters.
As an Ohioan I’m so happy you went throughout our entire critique without saying “people only care about you during election” because dammit, we are far worse then that. (Also the klink line are my favorite Pokémon so this makes me happy)
This is honestly one of my favorite videos, not just on your channel but in general. I've seen it four times. Would absolutely love to see more Pokemon and Geography combinations -- be that roasting Canadian provinces or countries in Europe, or maybe flip it around and assign a good, likeable Pokemon for each state's highest points. I know this video was a ton of work as is, but it's just so good!
I refuse to believe that Lockstin wasn't just releasing pent up aggression
no replies i'm changing that.
also at least he got it out
I'm willing to bet my life savings that this whole video was just that and Lockstin gave pokemon to every state at last minute
@@Ly_7838now *that's* a theory to keep in mind.
I agree with him. I hate this country.
Laughs abound
After nearly 3000 comments, I havent seen anyone mention I flipped the locations of the Dakotas. Truly nobody cares.
I wanted to see upset Dakotans argue in the comments but again, even they don't care enough
I've taken US Geography classes before, and still completely missed it. Truly the silcoon and cascoon of the US.
As a dakotan I thought it was funny
I knew it looked weird but I just didn’t care 😮

Nah, Arizona was easy as well
Ohio was dead on
I'm an Iowan too. Holy crap was this fun to watch. I sometimes think that we're the state that sometimes gets forgotten so that roast felt real. Didn't know about the book-smart either! XD
He's even doing a Huggbees impression with his voice this is awesome.
Now do the flags and greeting signs
Thanks for the heart! (gone when you edit comments)
One single criticism: the content warning/viewer discretion advisory should’ve been at the beginning of the video instead of the description. I realized it was a Huggbees parody before I read the description.
I agree with you about the content warning
As a Pennsylvanian, I am not complaining about what Lockstin has said. He's merely stating the facts about how bad the government is
As a fellow pennsylvanian, same. Surprised to not hear how all we have going for us is 2 cities and neither being the capital though
And yet we're proud of it somehow
I still wanna know where he got his cheesesteak. Bet it was Pats or Genos.
I've only been in the area about five years and I hate PennDOT too. XD
All true and a eternal reminder of how awful our roads will continue to be, potholes and all
Never before have I been prouder as a Massachusetts resident than to see a Bostonian smug snek toss Polteageist into the harbor and Stan the Red Sawks.
I’d hug Servine, but I’m probably allergic.
YES! Massholes represent!
😀
As a Massachusetts native, I support this. Though, we kinda DO have a reason to be stuck up about ourselves, since Boston IS kinda the origin point for a LOT of Early American History, so...
Respect to the vine but your state ain’t quite surperior just yet. Keep up the the non allergy inducing work.
letts gooo! representative of mass of 2 shits ready and present!
Honestly, he said “Think of something about Nevada that has nothing to do with deserts or Las Vegas” and my mind immediately went to the toxic waste stored there. 27:24
Funny, mine instantly went to nuclear weapons
@@user-burner Same! I'm not even from US but the first thing I thought of was "nuclear weapons testing grounds"
Weirdly I thought of the salt flats but then I couldn’t remember if they were actually in Nevada… they are but goes to show that I still technically had to look something up
He's releasing his inner Huggbees
omg you noticed too!
I was just about to comment it
As a New Yorker, the choice of Wishiwashi is not only painfully accurate but absolutely hilarious because that's my favorite Water-type pokemon and is even in my top 10.
From now on, I will always nickname one "Fuggedaboutit"
As a Californian and an avid Charizard hater I hate how well they fit together, well done
I love charizard but i agree how gamefreak always uses charizard for almost every pokemon game again and again that it's unfair for the other starters 😅
@@firemiracle Frankly at least Charizard is called overrated, you do not hear that much with Greninja tho
Honestly, people probably wouldn’t hate California as much if the Hollywood chunk of it didn’t keep trying to act like it’s the best thing ever
…a lot like Charizard, really: it’s a perfectly good design and a fun Pokémon, people just don’t like being told OVER AND OVER “hey isn’t Charizard cool?”
if you clicked on this video, your here for one of two reasons.
1) you wanted to see what your state was.
2) you wanted to make fun of the states.
Or me, who is both.
yes
He really brought out his Glockstin self against all these states.
they didn't have the high enough budget to hire Glockstin so they got Mockstin
Could've just pulled Maxell out of the Closet...
As a Delawarean, I'm honestly very pleased to be Mew. You made us feel way more special than we had any right to feel LOL
Mew is my favourite Pokémon so now I personally feel more positive towards Delaware.
You're the only state he gave a mythical to, and it was the one that's just a shaved rabbit with a mouse tail. Truly fits perfectly.
@@valasafantastic1055 It really is a nice place to live though too so I take this as a surprise Delaware propaganda to give us such a great Pokemon as a "dis" haha!
Like yeah, our main problem is we're forgettable and small, but that really doesn't matter so much when you're 3 hours drive from NYC, 2 hours drive from D.C., few hours drive for Norfolk VA, and maybe right around the corner from Philedelphia depending how close you are to Wilmington. Probably our main downside is needing a car to get around but outside of that, it's like living close enough to make a day trip to more prominent places but living far enough away that you get peace and quiet and clean air out in the farmland and beaches. ...And there's the no sales tax of course.
@@benrockefeller6334 you say that as if a shaved rabbit with a mouse tail doesn't slap. You're saying this to a *Raichu fan* hahahaha
@@RWAsur To be honest, I was just pointing out the simplicity in Mew's design. I also love Raichu. I used Aloloan Raichu in my playthrough of Ultra Sun, where I managed to get a shiny Lugia on my first visit to the Ultra Wormhole.
As an Arizonan...I think the Sun roasts us harder than Lockstin did.
Lockstin will need a burn heal for that one.
As a fellow Arizonan, everything he said was spot on after this recent summer.
As a Tennessean, my parents complain about it being hot, so, no offense, they would probably hate being at your state. Again, I mean no harm.
I love AZ. I’m from southern AZ and i truly believe we have THE best Mexican food in the US…. But I also fear going outside so… I guess at least we don’t do daylight savings???
@@moni-w9o FCKING FR FR I'm so tired of Californians thinking they have a LEG TO STAND ON when it comes to Mexican food.
NO YOU DON'T
"Arizona is just an affront to God."
I mean... he's not wrong. 🤷🏻♀️ Solrock isn't even an insult; it's just what we have to live with.
As a marylander, i personally love hearing people roast our flag lol
Granted, i still think it's at least a bit more interesting to look at than all the "solid color with a symbol in the middle" flags out there-
Yeah, your flag looks more like medieval heraldry sans animals or a British royal standard flag.
Your flag rules
Minnesota is getting a new flag and I just had a really funny idea for a flag: Maryland but with white and black quarters. Better than Just Duluth's Flag (tm).
Additionally this would actual have symbolism, specifically as a symbol for native Dakota people and that our state also starts with an M. Again, this has more actual symbolism than Just Duluths Flag (tm).
After this one, Huggbees is going to have to include all 50 states in his "weird deaths" series.
As someone from Louisiana, our state had so much great potential to be one of the best to live in. We got the culture, the great food, and overall New Orleans (until 2020) was fun to visit. Unfortunately due to our absolutely horrible corrupt government which roots back to whenever the French and Spanish was there, we are now suffering from the fact our Governors don't care about us and rather use the oil money to fund their useless projects that never go anywhere. This is also why our roads, and pollution is so bad in the state. And anywhere that has a ton of trees we will hide in because we are overheating everyday from the absolutely torturous heat that prevents us from exercising until October comes back. I wish you would've roasted us more lmao.
And don't forget about the wetlands they need protecting too
Also yes our swampy state need to be roasted more better
Preach my friend!
Oh yes, the great food in Louisiana. Back in the summer of 2018, I was part of a large school trip that went to New Orleans. One of the students was vegan. At least one place that we went to, the "vegan" option had BUTTER in it. Now, as someone who is not vegan, I don't have a problem with butter, but I do have a problem with it being served in something specifically labeled as THE vegan option. Also, stop pretending that gumbo actually tastes good; that stuff is gross (and of COURSE, the butter incident was at the gumbo place which does not improve my opinion of the stuff). Maybe you people just think it tastes good because that's what you grew up with. As someone who grew up in the Midwest, gumbo isn't good food. Another restaurant managed to ruin PASTA by putting way too much of something that I hope was salt on it. How do you manage to ruin PASTA? In terms of food, the best part of that trip was the restaurant that we went to for diner on the first day of travel before we even reached Louisiana.
@@anonymoususer188damn, you went to the WRONG places my friend, gumbo is SUPER varied so you must have gotten some weird disgusting version.
Please do this with more countries/nations. This is just hilarious lol
Like a Europe by countries video
As a Minnesotan I was laughing hysterically at being compared to putting food in the freezer. Ad gonna hit my Floridian friend with the roast for them for sure
I was surprised Minnesota got the least mean roast
Spit roast jokes are something I never thought I’d hear in a Lockstin Pokémon video (or any Pokémon video for that matter)
Unless it involved Oinkologne...
I literally did not know maine wasn't a peninsula until this video.
A RUclips VIDEO RIPPING ON AMERICA TAUGHT ME MORE THAN THE U.S. EDUCATION SYSTEM...
Sad but true
@@jessicatouvell6859how is that sad🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@Privatebean9183 Our education system is trash. That is what I meant by sad. Just like how cartoons that I grew up with taught me more than my teachers ever did.
@@jessicatouvell6859 sorry I’m not form the USA so I wouldn’t know
@@Privatebean9183 When it comes to education, be glad about that, regardless of where you're from. Education (at least in my state) is a joke. I learned more from watching kids shows than I ever did from my teachers.
OF COURSE MARYLAND IS ONE OF THE MOST VIEWED PARTS OF THE VIDEO! 😂
I actually made a Maryland themed Pokémon team back in the day.
Kingler: Crabs are inevitable. Everything shall evolve into crab. (And you best believe it comes with Old Bay.)
Sunflora: Our state flower is the black eyed susan sunflower.
Blaziken: Maryland is the home state of Perdue Farms.
Escavalier: Our state sport is *jousting.* Maryland was the first state to have an official state sport and we had the BALLS to say *JOUSTING.*
Corviknight: Referencing Edgar Allen Poe's the Raven.
Ditto: The only Pokémon that has ANY chance of replicating the shape of Maryland.
Lockstin being utterly unhinged isnt something I knew I needed until now
Dude woke up and chose violence... and I love it.
As someone from Michigan I would like to explain how we got the Upper Peninsula. To make a long story short the US gave it to us so we wouldn’t go to war with Ohio over Toledo, yes this actually happened. Also I’m surprised you didn’t bring up our weather.
You mean that in a span of a week we can and will go from 80 degrees to -5 to 40?
@@dname9394 sounds about right
The weather is 75% lake effect snow and the rest 80 degree humid heat
I was so disappointed when I found out that Washington's "rainy cloudy weather" was pretty much the same as Michigan's. We put up with all these clouds and we don't get any credit for it at all!!
@@dname9394 North Texas can be the same in winter, 20F to 80F in a single day... Summer though is consistently the pit of hell.
Being from Pennsylvania makes the segment on Pennsylvania feel so accurate. You really can't go anywhere without having to pay for it.
Honestly his roast is just telling us what we already know except the cheesteak part uncalled for
As a non-American, this was hilarious to watch from an outside perspective
As an American who has lived in a multitude of states - he is so wildly accurate.
As a non-American who has lived in, visited and studied about some US states, that was indeed hilarious.
Visit. You'll find most of the stereotypes are actually true!
I'm feeling very happy and safe watching this go down from England
As a Native american, this was hilarious to watch from an inside perspective.
39:06 I’m so in agreement with you as a Pennsylvanian that has lived in both major cities.
Also I would love to know where you had that cheesesteak because Philly’s problem is half the population tells visitors the WRONG place to get a cheesesteak from. If they tell you to go to Pats or Genos, they set you up for failure.
Lockstin being an absolute savage for an hour was not something I knew I needed. Thank you kind sir
"Your state is terribly polluted / corrupt / impoverished / depressed / addicted! Wow! That sucks." - Lockstin, to every US state.
Almost seems like some kind of pattern... all these elected officials throwing their citizens under the bus for industry support and campaign contributions... Hope someone figures out how to fix that stuff soon.
The GEOGRAPHICALLY was amazing I literally laughed out loud.
You should have done spiritomb for Wyoming. There’s only 108 people and they are all evil.
As the resident Wyomingite, I can confirm that this is only partially true.
We are the fiftieth state because we only have fifty people. The city with the lowest population is a population of ONE.
Except Dylan Hollis, but then again, he's from Burmuda and I still don't know why that darling man decided to move to that state. haha
Can confirm. I'm one of them
@@robertgronewold3326we enjoy the baking twink
@@robertgronewold3326 I love watching his cooking videos.
I’m from Arizona and I couldn’t wait for Lockstin to roast my home state. He did legitimately make me laugh out load with the “confusion” remark! It’s funny because it’s definitely true!
eh I feel like he could've gone harder on us.
As someone who was born and raised in Colorado, Burmy is a perfect representation of the state.
I’m so down to see more content like this- I never knew I need Lockstin viciously roasting things before this.
That savage dissing of new mexico is not something I was expecting. I just expected you to make the easy joke but you did the research and went for the throat. Mad respect my man.
Gimmighoul also fits Pennsylvania well because it's one of only three states that imposes a post-mortem will tax. Something I'm surprised you didn't mention, but it still fits nonetheless.
Theres so much data to look at so I missed a lot I'm sure. But that's amazing(ly sad).
As a Massachusetts resident I felt so seen by the allergy joke. Pollen season is a nightmare every year
Lockstin channeling some real Huggbees energy and I'm here for it.
Utah is 200% accurate. Also I can't decide whether you made the water polo joke thinking water polo actually uses horses or whether that is part of the joke
As a rare Utahan that isn`t part of the collective 90% Mormon hive-mentality that is making money-honey for the Bewear of the LDS church, I can mostly agree with the assessment. However, behind the scenes there is a slow-going spiritual war going on here where some worker-bees occasionally break free of the Borg hivemind and either go off into their lonesome atheism or join a Baptist denomination as they explore learning about God on a more personal level with other individuals. There are many "spiritual captives" in this state, and it can take a while for those under the bear`s influence to find a spiritual safe haven if/when they leave.
Lockstin woke up and chose violence. This is great! Also Indiana is sadly accurate. There is nothing that really goes on here.
Except Drugs! We got plenty of drugs. Please, send help.
I like how the states immediately after New York are Unova Pokémon
Right off the bat, lol damn this is more of a roast of the US then those wildfires
Welcome to "Roasting the Nation" with Lockstin. I don't think I've ever laughed that hard, and for that long in my life. Easily my favorite video of yours to date. As a South Carolinian myself, while I personally don't hold on to our State's "past", I do like your choice of Slowbro, simply because of it's easy-going nature, and I do find it easy to zone out while relaxing in the area that I live.
He’s bringing the idaho diss to everyone
Also, it's genuinely hilarious that the Twin States (VT + NH) both got dog Pokemon
Normal type Dogs no less
I find it funny that I’m offended less by the judgement on New Jersey (accurate btw) and moreso the slander on ice types with Bearctic.
I was waiting for Lockstin to give my homestate, Maryland, a roasting based on bad stuff over there.
I was not expecting our shape and flag to be roasted, but thinking about it and looking at them, it makes sense.
I came here from the Huggbees roasts, and I realized the flag ALWAYS gets roasted when it comes to Maryland lmaooo. But I agree, it makes sense
As Someone also from Maryland, I kind of expected worse
The worst Lockstin did for Maryland was give us Vanilluxe. That was more of a roast than the actual roast
Maryland looks like a poorly drawn UZI, several states also look like guns, makes sense really. Lol.
I'm a New Yorker, but my family is mostly MA and my bro and I have been saying "SERVINE" at each other for half an hour as snooty as possible. I cried laughing. 100% win.
Having lived in Texas, Indiana, Illinois, The Dakotas, Georgia, Carolinas, and Nevada, I have to agree with all that was said about those states. Very apt description. I want to see more of this where you just roast states. Maybe you could try countries?
As a Floridian, DAMN! You got our asses. That was a perfect representation of this state 💀😭
Right??? I was born and raised there, so it was such a hit!!! I would’ve thought Absol, because we have so many disasters. But damn he hit us hard 😭
I like how unbiased this is, he made fun of his own state just as savagely as the others
Wouldnt say unbiased.... at least not politically =/ Still a funny video
@@theartisticvampire2598I knew I’d find someone like this
@Dock143 Like what? Honest? I mean, it is clearly biased politically. Lockstin even alluded to that fact himself.
@@matthewdavenport9549 be specific about in which direction it’s biased. You can’t just call something that’s political “biased.” It has to be biased in a direction. “Politically” isn’t a direction.
@@Dock143 don't be obtuse. A direction doesn't have to be stated. Saying something is politically biased simply means that it is influenced by that persons political alignments. Hell, you can't even really boil that down to a singular direction all the time because individuals might lean different directions on different issues.
The Oregon bit is so hilariously spot on. As a lifelong citizen of East Oregon that bit had me rolling...
As a citizen of western Oregon I can 100% agree. This was so spot on I was rolling.
I would absolutely love to see this concept for the rest of the world.
Man, you could have laid into California even more than you did. I'm actually kinda upset you chose such a popular Pokémon as G-Max Charizard.
It's fits thought. Both are OVERATED
@@shootingstarships FACTS. It's 100% accurate.
Haha yeah - pretty sure it consistently ranks as one of the worst states. There's a reason millions of citizens are leaving 🤷♂️

As someone from that state im surprised we didn't get Alohlan Muk
@@Audentior_Itosame
As a South Carolinian, the whole “never letting go” is hands down the defining trait of this state. We have one of the most heated college football rivalries that no one outside the state cares about, we hang on to terrible politicians that no one seems to like because we’re afraid of change, and there are soooo many confederate flags. Heck, I remember in grade school when we learned about the start of the civil war, we were taught that it was cool that cadets from the Citidel( our military academy) were probably one of the first troops to fire on fort.
I'm surprised he didn't upgrade you to Mega Slobrow...
Mega Slowbro*
As someone who’s lived in Georgia her entire life, I can confirm everything Lockstin said about the state is pretty true. I also think a water type or a member of the torchic line could’ve worked. If you know why I say that then feel free to leave a comment.
I understand as a fellow Georgian 🫡
im guessing rain humidity and chickfila

As a New Yorker, I agree with your assessment. We are made of rage and misery and proud of it!
The main thing we have going for us as a people is that scene on the bridge in the first Sam Raimi Spiderman Movie
So true, fellow New Yorker
As an American, I approve of this entire video.
Edit: As an Ohioan, I'm disappointed that you didn't mention how fitting the steel-typing of Klang also fits the only interesting thing in this state built of steel - rollercoasters.
I *for sure* thought he’d give Alabama something with flippers or webbed feet/hands.
I haven't gone there yet, but I'm expecting a Florida man joke
First thought was Golduck, would that fit?
I’m a New Yorker and I can confirm all of us (especially the students) are very depressed.
As an Ohioan I’m so happy you went throughout our entire critique without saying “people only care about you during election” because dammit, we are far worse then that.
(Also the klink line are my favorite Pokémon so this makes me happy)
As a New Jersian, this is pretty accurate. I would have also accepted Muk

I'm surprised magicarp didn't make an appearance in this video.
This is honestly one of my favorite videos, not just on your channel but in general. I've seen it four times. Would absolutely love to see more Pokemon and Geography combinations -- be that roasting Canadian provinces or countries in Europe, or maybe flip it around and assign a good, likeable Pokemon for each state's highest points. I know this video was a ton of work as is, but it's just so good!
