The coolest things about Fomantis and Lurantis are that unlike real-world mantises, which pose as plants, Fomantis and Lurantis are plants posing as mantises, hence the mono grass type and the “fo” (faux) and “lure” in their names
I get the puns, but what's the point. Sudowoodo has a little logic. It looks like a grass type so it avoids water types, or maybe lures in bugs or ice types. Grass and bugs share many of the same weaknesses.
I personally like the german names of the two more, especially the one for Lurantis. In german Fomantis is just called Imantis because of "imitating" and Lurantis is called Mantidea from Mantis and Orchidea, I think it sounds very elegant.
"Lure" seems a little contradictory though. I feel like a plant pretending to be a mantis intends to scare animals away. No one wants to be at the hands of a praying mantis.

I love how C tier can mean anything ranging from, "I like it, it's okay. It's cool I guess." to, "Fuck this thing. I don't give a shit about this one."
I’m glad you actually like (most of) the Ultra Beasts. Like 99% of RUclipsrs hate the Ultra Beasts and it’s kinda sad because some of them have genuinely good designs.
I'm glad he ACTUALLY likes the Bug Pokemon for once. Felt like he hated most of the Bugs from the past generations just cuz they're bugs. :( Which is so unfair.
I think it’s because some like kartana were a very unbalanced and the debate on if they count as legendaries or pseudo legendaries in the competitive scene
I like the Ultra Beasts because they look very otherworldly, which is the point and they nailed it. Especially Xurkitree and Kartana. People complain that their lack of a face makes them bad, but I honestly think it suits the uncanny otherworldlyness of them, kind of like how a Xenomorph doesn't have eyes.
I know sun and moon gets a lot of crap for having a ton of hand holding and dialogue but I think this region had the strongest sense of environment and music encapsulating the casual atmosphere and because of that it is in my favorite Pokémon games

@@keyboardtrauma4806 And not as much content as some previous titles. Overall an okay game. If the cutscenes were skippable (at least after the first playthrough) and they had the time to add in some of the stuff they clearly had planned (e.g. the inaccessible golf course that is visible on the map, which is also apparently fully textured, and Kahili being a golfer) then it would have been great
The fact that you mentioned Lego Insectoids and actually put a picture of the Arachnoid Starbase set I had as a kid is so fucking awesome. Mad respect my dude!
"An anchor Pokemon is a really cool idea. Surprised we didn't have one already. I do like the seaweed, though." The best part about Dhelmise is that the seaweed _is_ the Pokemon. The wheel and anchor aren't sentient. It's literally just sentient, faceless seaweed. That's the actual Pokemon, and I love that.
I've always seen the Lily Nihilego resemblance as less that Nihilego looks like Lily and more that Lusamine forced Lily to look like Nihilego, because she's obsessed with it.
Fun fact about the three Alola starters, each one represents a different alchemical prime. Rowlet’s circular shape and bowtie make him look like the symbol for salt, Litten’s little crest on his head makes the symbol for sulfur/brimstone in conjunction with his eyes, and Popplio looks like the symbol for mercury/quicksilver whenever he stands proudly with his round head, curved ears, and outstretched arms
Definitely, I just wish they were more accessible. I remember really wanting to use a toxapex on my third playthrough but I didn't know where to find it
Uh to be fair Mareanie is like, the only one I can think of that's really rare. All the other ones are actually quite accessible, like I mean this sure is no Johto.
I really don't like Crabominable and Kommo-O, too. I think both of them had lots of potential in their first form, then totally got fucked whilst evolving.
I honestly expected him to tear these apart just thinking back to the reactions from fans when Sun and Moon came out, but watching this made me realize it really was a good generation that got way more shit than deserved bc Pokemon fans were angey that things were changing
Pokémon fans are always going to be shitheads tbh. They complain as soon as a new gen is announced and then years later turn around and act like the gen they shat on forever is the best one. This coming from an almost life-long Pokémon fan.
Also if you look at it the right way its head looks like those giant scissors people use to cut hedges with which is really cool to me. If you turn its head upside down it looks like one minus the teeth
After Lily's father went missing, Lusamine became so obsessed with Ultra Beasts (his field of study) that she dressed their kid to look like Nihilego, which IMO is pretty creepy
I always thought that Nihilego didn’t look like Lillie, Lillie looked like Nihilego. I sorta figured that since Lusamine was both incredibly controlling of Lillie and unhealthily obsessed with Nihilego, she dressed her like it.
@@pokemonkarma What do you mean ruins it? It doesn't have to wear that heavy head plate anymore. Also it evolves through happiness which makes it all the more depressing considering how it was treated by the scientists who created it. It could have turned into a Mewtwo situation if Gladion and the MC hadn't gotten their hands on both versions. Also its companionship with Gladion in the Anime is very cute. Actually all of Gladions pokemon in the anime are precious.

I think Gen 5 is a little more underrated but Gen 7 is actually stellar. Alola is a super fun region, the pokemon are all really fun, even if some of them look stupid. It's just fantastic. Shame the games are shit.
@@AzureKite Gen 5 is loved by a lot of people. It actually got more popular in the last few years because of its music. Its definitely not underrated imo. But not a lot of people talk about gen 7 and Alola.

7:52 Yeah! Someone! Totally not me! I totally don’t want to be mind controlled by a slim black-scaled lizard lady with wide hips and a whip-like tail! Totally not!

@@darknesswave100 yeah I actually liked SWSH on the first playthrough quite a bit because I spent so much time in the wild, which I enjoyed a lot. But the rest of the game was very mediocre, esp the story
@@matthewc9624 The story was honestly confusing and boring cause your just there You don’t fight any cool dyna Pokémon around until after game and honestly Leon is a MC
The Sun and Moon anime really did wonders on making practically every pokemon introduced precious. Some of my personal favorite precious moments include Ashs Lycanroc and Meltan rolling around in the snow, Kukuis Incineroar letting kids ride on him and trying to cheer up a baby, (The first two are the best in my opinion) Poipole making drawings symbolizing its love for Ash, his pokemon, Kukui, and Burnett, All of Gladions pokemon from him and his Lycanroc fist bumping, to his Lycanroc always patting Ashs Rockruff/Lycanrocs head, to his Umbreon and Zoroark reuniting, even his Silvally when its prideful about protecting people. Theres way more but I like to bring up the Incineroar one specifically because considering his attitude most of the time you think he'd be hard please, but off the battlefield hes really just a big softy. In Smash Bros Ultimate when you get an analysis from Palutena explaining that its generally bad mannered and plays dirty but ends her analysis with "its great with children" you usually get a cutaway to Incineroar drop kicking Ness or something like that. But my mind always goes to that scene with Kukuis Incineroar.

If the cutscenes were skippable (at least after the first playthrough) and they had the time to add in some of the stuff they clearly had planned (e.g. the inaccessible golf course that is visible on the map, which is also apparently fully textured, and Kahili being a golfer) then it would have been great
As someone who never played sun and moon, seeing these designs actually really makes me wanna play it. So thanks for your video!
Hey, mebbe consider tryin the ultra version if you end up checking it out!
Way to cause a flood of memories with that Insectoids pull. Holy shit. Those were my favorite for a while and I completely forgot about them.
Lmao call back to his skit “Decidu-I....”
“Oh like deciduous+eye”
Song Won using the term "furry bait" dealt 3000 damage directly to my life points and sent me to the fucking shadow realm
The fact that you mentioned Lego Insectoids and actually put a picture of the Arachnoid Starbase set I had as a kid is so fucking awesome. Mad respect my dude!
“Commoners have resorted to eating dog?”
How horrid, Throw it to the poor!
*Jeeves throw it to the poor*
"An anchor Pokemon is a really cool idea. Surprised we didn't have one already. I do like the seaweed, though."
The best part about Dhelmise is that the seaweed _is_ the Pokemon. The wheel and anchor aren't sentient. It's literally just sentient, faceless seaweed. That's the actual Pokemon, and I love that.
11:39 "I really like the Seaweed". Dhelmise IS the Seaweed!
I've always seen the Lily Nihilego resemblance as less that Nihilego looks like Lily and more that Lusamine forced Lily to look like Nihilego, because she's obsessed with it.
Fun fact about the three Alola starters, each one represents a different alchemical prime. Rowlet’s circular shape and bowtie make him look like the symbol for salt, Litten’s little crest on his head makes the symbol for sulfur/brimstone in conjunction with his eyes, and Popplio looks like the symbol for mercury/quicksilver whenever he stands proudly with his round head, curved ears, and outstretched arms
Alchemy? In MY Pokemon game?!
That's a stretch, man...
Oh I’ve seen this theory before! It’s really cool
@@idontthink it's not though considering there are a lot of pokemon based on alchemy
@@idontthink The legendaries are based on Alchemy tho
No one:
Babies when they see blocks with letters on them: 16:10
Lillie looks like nihelego because Lusamine was obsessed with it
Makes sense to me
Doubt it. Other ultra beasts somehow look like other people too despite them never having encountered them.
@@BK-ob3lo who? I'm genuinely curious since I never noticed
@@p0oka261 Xurkitree is sort of like Guzma with the black/white color scheme and spiky "hair".
And Pheromosa looks like Lusamine
Alola honestly had lots of strong designs. Probably why it's my favorite gen
*Gives Litten an S tier*
"Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well."
6:53 "I bring you looove."
"It's bringing love! KILL IT!"
Good ol' Mr. Burns.
Alola's Pokémon are underrated.
You nerd to grab a dictionary because you clearly don't know what underrated means.
Alola has a lot of pokemon I adore, but never really think about
Definitely, I just wish they were more accessible. I remember really wanting to use a toxapex on my third playthrough but I didn't know where to find it
Yeah it has one of my favorites (Salazzle and lykanrok)
Uh to be fair Mareanie is like, the only one I can think of that's really rare.
All the other ones are actually quite accessible, like I mean this sure is no Johto.
Gen 7 is my favourite in terms of Pokémon designs. I can look at every design and say that I like it.
Rowlet being the first pokemon to get an S be like: aloha
i love the alola starters so much. they all get an s tier from moi
3:32 "bug pokemon are usually stupid and lame"
*Kid Trainer Timmy will remember that*
Celesteela has a ton of sick design details- it's Princess Kaguya and her bamboo!
I didn't get that until you pointed it out. That's probably why.
Still looks pretty weird and a bit much.
Great inspiration but bizarre execution.
@@rockinrootbeer1795 all the ultra beasts look weird, that's the point
@@rockinrootbeer1795 Celesteela does look weird and she'll never be one of my favs. But it's fine because that was an intentional design choice
It's also a 30 foot tall living rocket ship, which makes it even more weird, but a bit more interesting!
1:20 You know, it was only when Incineroar was announced for Smash that I realized how smart its big hands are - those hands are MADE for grappling!
11:20 "C for Can't wait to die"
I feel yah Drampa
Sun and Moon was my first Pokémon game. I will always remember all the good memories I had from it
I think alola has the strongest designs overall compared to every other gen. The only one o really hate is bruxish
Idk, I think gen 6 has the better lineup even though its smaller
only pokémon i actually hate are aromatisse (such an awkward design) and bronzor for pokémon go reasons
I really don't like Crabominable and Kommo-O, too.
I think both of them had lots of potential in their first form, then totally got fucked whilst evolving.
@@appleant1083 you get it
Triggerfish [and also parrotfish] are just...like that, to be quite honest. They're typically less colorful in real life, however.
I honestly expected him to tear these apart just thinking back to the reactions from fans when Sun and Moon came out, but watching this made me realize it really was a good generation that got way more shit than deserved bc Pokemon fans were angey that things were changing
Pokémon fans are always going to be shitheads tbh. They complain as soon as a new gen is announced and then years later turn around and act like the gen they shat on forever is the best one. This coming from an almost life-long Pokémon fan.
Vikavolt might actually be my favourite Pokémon... I mean it's a stag beetle railgun and it performs great too.
WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE
Also if you look at it the right way its head looks like those giant scissors people use to cut hedges with which is really cool to me. If you turn its head upside down it looks like one minus the teeth
I like how the quality of the camera makes everything kinda warm a fuzzy, comforting
After Lily's father went missing, Lusamine became so obsessed with Ultra Beasts (his field of study) that she dressed their kid to look like Nihilego, which IMO is pretty creepy
You should totally do a gag video for April Fools where you rate the "Earth Region's" real life animals.
“Gumshoos remind me of Dick Gumshoe”
...
Holy shit
I was waiting for him to say Trump 😅
I'm surprised he didn't rate it F because he reminds him of Trump.😅It was supposed to be a gumshoe. Very unfortunate timing with that design.
Fire type starter: *exists*
Sungwon: S-TIER!
"Popplio is probably my least favorite starter"
Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Same I love Popplio 🥺
just out of these three, though! it's a very solid design, it just gets overshadowed by two BANGERS in the forms of Rowlett and Litten tho
@@AzureKite this ^^^
all of the alola starters are
Popplio’s an A tier imo
Me: Sees ProZD putting out a new Pokemon ranking video.
My List: Here we go again.
Oh, like a play on Deciduous and Deadeye, that's cool..
"Uh yeah, sure, sure"
Silvally, my second favorite pokémon: "It's fucking stupid"
Me: how dARE but I agree it's a weird horse bird
Bruh the Pokémon at the end look like they can turn one of the starting Pokémon into sushi 💀
Hotpepper212, are you thinking about Kartana, Guzzlord, and Necrozma?
I always thought that Nihilego didn’t look like Lillie, Lillie looked like Nihilego. I sorta figured that since Lusamine was both incredibly controlling of Lillie and unhealthily obsessed with Nihilego, she dressed her like it.
7:30 it has a tag below its tail, it's literally made to be a plush
4:20 holy crap I didn't know this one but it's gotta be the cutest pokemon in existence. S tier for me!
Okay, haven’t watched any of this yet. I am terrified where Type: Null and Silvally land.
Edit: SUNGWON WE ARE THROWING HANDS
I repeatedly refreshed this comment just to see this edit.
to be fair, while Type:Null sure is an interesting design with a cool backstory, Silvally 100% ruins it.
I love Silvally :(
@@pokemonkarma What do you mean ruins it? It doesn't have to wear that heavy head plate anymore. Also it evolves through happiness which makes it all the more depressing considering how it was treated by the scientists who created it. It could have turned into a Mewtwo situation if Gladion and the MC hadn't gotten their hands on both versions. Also its companionship with Gladion in the Anime is very cute. Actually all of Gladions pokemon in the anime are precious.
Saaame I was so sad 😭
I love seeing so much love and praise for my fave gen; I've been playing since Ruby, but this is Pokémon at its best for me, close to 5.
dude i love this Let's Rank Sires i think even when this pokemon one is done you can still do other ranking i loved the ranking of pixar flims maybe next is disney flims or marvel or somthing cause there somthing about these vids there funny your personailty great and plz don't end this sires i love it to much
Sun and Moon is a very underrated generation. Very.
Yup and it's my fav
Faxxx
Most underrated generation ever imo.
That’s a fact
Especially when it comes to the new Pokemon, in my book. I really like the vast majority of new designs we got.
I think Gen 5 is a little more underrated but Gen 7 is actually stellar. Alola is a super fun region, the pokemon are all really fun, even if some of them look stupid. It's just fantastic. Shame the games are shit.
@@AzureKite Gen 5 is loved by a lot of people. It actually got more popular in the last few years because of its music.
Its definitely not underrated imo. But not a lot of people talk about gen 7 and Alola.
Dont personally like 7 it never felt like i was exploring but was on a guided tour which fits the motif but isnt for me
“I don’t give a shit about Necrozma, C tier”
Necrozma’s Other Forms: Are we a joke to you
It wasn't even Necrozma's true forme.
I honestly think base Necrozma is cool as hell
We’re almost there guys, only one more generation to go. I feel like he’s going to be brutal with it😅
As he should tbh. Over 20 years deep and they still can't get some things right.
@@streamsos well, at least it's better than gen 5. Not that that's hard to accomplish anyway
@@streamsos I mean sadly, you kind of have a point
@@mcnierstenen9017 it’s definitely not. Gen 5 is easily best gen 😭
I mean I hope he has another video where he goes over mega evolutions, alolan forms, and hopefully gigantimax and galarian forms. As there’s a total of 117 between all that I just mentioned
7:52 Yeah! Someone! Totally not me! I totally don’t want to be mind controlled by a slim black-scaled lizard lady with wide hips and a whip-like tail! Totally not!
7th gen was really good.. but that beginning makes me want to pull my hair out. Should be able to skip some of the hand holding
YES OH MY GOD
I loved the games in gen 7 so I re played them AND CHRIST LEMME GO
I think that's part of the reason people didn't like sword and shield myself included. Between all the handholding and the 30 year long cutscenes i almost went insane
@@darknesswave100 yeah I actually liked SWSH on the first playthrough quite a bit because I spent so much time in the wild, which I enjoyed a lot. But the rest of the game was very mediocre, esp the story
@@matthewc9624
The story was honestly confusing and boring cause your just there
You don’t fight any cool dyna Pokémon around until after game and honestly Leon is a MC
The Sun and Moon anime really did wonders on making practically every pokemon introduced precious. Some of my personal favorite precious moments include Ashs Lycanroc and Meltan rolling around in the snow, Kukuis Incineroar letting kids ride on him and trying to cheer up a baby, (The first two are the best in my opinion) Poipole making drawings symbolizing its love for Ash, his pokemon, Kukui, and Burnett, All of Gladions pokemon from him and his Lycanroc fist bumping, to his Lycanroc always patting Ashs Rockruff/Lycanrocs head, to his Umbreon and Zoroark reuniting, even his Silvally when its prideful about protecting people.
Theres way more but I like to bring up the Incineroar one specifically because considering his attitude most of the time you think he'd be hard please, but off the battlefield hes really just a big softy. In Smash Bros Ultimate when you get an analysis from Palutena explaining that its generally bad mannered and plays dirty but ends her analysis with "its great with children" you usually get a cutaway to Incineroar drop kicking Ness or something like that. But my mind always goes to that scene with Kukuis Incineroar.
This generation has either perfect pokemon or terrible pokemon, there is no in between
Y'all say that every new generation
That is if you ignore the a, b, and c tier ones
@@shanelloyd853 nah its actually true this time.
Don't think anything in this gen is terrible but there's a couple of meh ones
well not really, Trumbeak is a perfect example of an "in-between".
Oh Man I really enjoy your videos bro. Greetings from Brazil!!
