No I totally disagree, the best pokemon games are heart gold and soul silver, ok for some people generation 5 is great but heart gold and soul silver are also awesome
@Parker McInerney Cyndaquil’s species is referred to in the Pokédex as the “Fire Mouse Pokémon” and a fox is close enough to a dog to qualify for the zodiac. The next fire starter should be a snake, a horse, or a goat.
Gladly watching this as I love Unova and miss the in depth Pokemon events. Great video Hoops and glad you didn't rush it. Plus I hate that Unova is often thought to be bad as the first game had only gen 5 Pokemon but it meant you could actually get to know the Pokemon in the region with no bias towards pre-existing Pokemon from other regions.
Cottony could also be a reference to the European lore of a creature called the "Vegetable Lamb" which was a creature that European nations had in their official bestiaries before they gained access to the actual cotton plant as an agricultural product, Whimsicot might also be a reference to this as well. I recommend looking up on the Vegetable Lamb if you haven't already, it's actually kind of funny
I thought that simasage is based off of Japanese gangsters? Where did the yankee part even come from? A mis-pronunciation? All I know is that he cannot pronounce any of the Japanese words correctly
@@MagicalBread "Yankee" in Japan refers to a person mimicing the Greaser style from the US. It just so happens that most of them happen to look like/associate/be delinquents. So Japanese Yankee is equal to US Greaser (think The Outsiders or Grease).
7:20 Yankee in Japanese popular language refers to delinquents or students members of gangs, so not necessarily he is an "american Pokémon", but a delinquent pokémon. How the word yankee became synonymous to delinquent to them I do not know.
Yankee in Japan is like calling someone a Greaser in the US. It's an entire subculture admiring the rebel without a cause mantra. They're not all delinquents. The American association comes from the source, being the culture influx post-WW2.
Another thing about Gigalith, it is essentially the only Pokémon to have an alien from the Ben 10 series to, in so many words, resemble it, that alien being Chromastone.
interesting fact the total number of existing unova pokemon which is 156 is 5 more then the number total of kanto pokemon which is 151 and if this was intentional on the developers parts that's a clear nod to the fact to the fact that the unova pokemon games came out during generation 5.
Another fun fact about Tirtouga & Carracosta, is that they’re the only fossil pokemon that are water/rock type as opposed to rock/water type like other fossils respectively.
The Fire Starter Chinese Zodiac thing is true as what came in Sword & Shield? A Fire Starter thats a Rabbit. So now we wait for an Ox, Sheep, Horse & Snake to be used as the basis of the Fire Starter in later generations.
Ash caught Krokorok and used it on his team before catching Palpitoad and using Palpitoad on his team, so Krokorok is the first second stage evolution caught and used by Ash after Noctowl, while Palpitoad is the second. lol, didn't know that from scrafty/meowth
One correction: today, most high rise construction uses reinforced concrete as opposed to a steel skeleton because it is more flexible to withstand earthquakes. Therefore, the Conkeldurr evolution makes sense in terms of construction material trends.
For maractus to be only found in the desert resort and not be affected by the constant sandstorm, I think it ingrains it self to the sand so that the ingrain hp gain cuts the go drop from the sandstorm. That's just a theory by me.
8:10 "Panpour is see no evil because its eyes are closed." NO. *NO.* I used to think this as well. *You can see that there IS a difference in the white of the sclera and the pupils of Panpour/Simipour... It's eyes aren't CLOSED-it's BLIND. Blind representation in Pokémon, HELL YEAH! 👏*
a fun fact: If you look at musharna's design, some of you might notice that the purple part of its body resembles baby pajamas. This might be connected with musharna being partly associated with sleep with some of its pokedex entries mention that the mist coming from its body is packed with the dreams of people and pokemon.
Just a theory, but, Whimsicott moving furnature could be in refference to dunage. When placing furniture into a moving truck you would likely place pillows or soft blankets between your pieces of furnature and the walls of the truck, to reduce the chances of damaging your furniture. Looking at Whimsicott, I would think it's plush plumage would be pivotal in putting the padding on my precious pieces of pottery or protect my padlocked pantry of pretty prismatic plates!
Another fact about Munna: In the generation 1 games, there's a girl who wants there to be a pink Pokémon with a flowery pattern, which is exactly what Munna is.
One thing I really appreciate from generation 5 is that throughout the story you only encounter the new Pokémon. Like this whole region was 100% unique. I think more generations should mimic this.
"Which is the exact sort of way you'd give a Pokémon its _actual_ name, not a nickname" **glances over at my Skeledirge named Caladera (from "caldera" which means "boiler" and can refer to the mouth of a volcano, and "calavera", the patterned decorative skulls used for Día de Muertos)** "Don't listen to him, girl, your name is perfect."
Bliztle- Baby Zebras are normally hidden off and shy, once born they are normally hid off to grow with elder Zebras, you normally dont see Baby Zebras in the wild because they are basically have over protective parents lol. Zebstrika zebstrika-Adult Zebras love to be seen I think thays a nice easter egg.
What I find funny about Darmanitan's entry referencing a *dump* truck is Darumaka's entry talking about it's droppings 😅 ...yes I'm 26, no I won't grow out of poop jokes!
"...I don't really know how they would do that considering they're only 2'4..." they're also magical creatures that can create beams of light from the moon, manipulate winds into causing damage, and paralyze other animals, but moving furniture is where we draw the line
The French royalty theory could be because France and America are allies
Also Floink is adorable
Rattata’s German name is also adorable Rattfratz.
I am very biased, Pokémon Black is my favorite Pokémon game. I still prefer it to this day over any other game.
the games after them are shit compared to gen 5, and the games before and gen 5 have too many fans i don't want to argue with.
I’m exactly the same
gen V is the best region you arent biased,, you are just being truthful
chu I like all generations. Please don't attack me!
No I totally disagree, the best pokemon games are heart gold and soul silver, ok for some people generation 5 is great but heart gold and soul silver are also awesome
Unova is the best and most underrated generation alongside gen 4 for making the ds era for Pokémon the best era
YOU RED MI MIND DUDE
@VerumRex gen 2 was best in my opinion
Why use the shiny Pokemon in this??
Its aight
Ya
Wouldn't it be better if he used both? For a nice comparison
Master Chief yesssssssssss
Master Chief indeed it would or just the normal colour like the rest of the videos
Why are you using for shiny spirites?
the person who makes the HD sprites has only released their shiny forms, it'll probably be the same with kalos and alola as well
Why not? 🤔👍
smgofdvld beats me, they’ll come out eventually. Furret Turret makes them if you’re curious.
Because they're prettier to look at.
@@riocin Then use less-than-HD sprites, this isn't difficult, people.
Considering Carracosta's sprite looks like it's doing "just do it!" pose, the reference might be intentional
"Just do it!"
*Carracosta used SHELL SMASH*
Haha actually Meowth meant something like "oh crap, the guys from Digimon!"
David Soto I like Digimon
my favorite dude is the guy with the electric bug

"Musharna only learns attacks at level 1"
I mean, Munna evolves with a Moon Stone, what did you expect.
Nidoking and Nidoqueen both learn moves by level-up after evolving.

3:22 OMG in Gen8 the rabbit is the fire type
Can't wait for the sheep
He said “ew!” after talking about the Volcanian movie 07:51.
Also, I love Unova!
Musharna is a Stone Evolution mon, none of them learn moves by level up after evolving
Well most of them anyways
3:22
And Scorbunny for the Rabbit
The pidove entry is ironic since doves and pigeons, including street ones, can be trained to pick up trash and debris and expect a reward in return.
Meowth actually said: what a horror, those from digimon!
How dare you
The French connection to unova is very significant to me, as I’m from New York and my girlfriend is from France

Unova is my favorite region. Black was my first Pokemon game and made me a fan. I was really looking forward to you doing Gen. 5.
Another fun fact about Tirtouga & Carracosta, is that they’re the only fossil pokemon that are water/rock type as opposed to rock/water type like other fossils respectively.
Archen and Archeops are the ONLY Fossils that are Flying/Rock Type and not Rock/Flying Type
My favorite moment is that meowth swore before journeys where he said boy vey translating to holy Sh**
Lilipop’s entry was also based on the fact that Yorkies(the dog it’s based off) are kind of quiet
Finally the Unova region my first region! #Snivy/Servine/Serperior as best starter!
AGREED!

Remember when Snivy was Smugleaf? Good times
Great series my man. Keep poke-KILLIN it bro

Red striped Basculin in Hisui: Evolving with the help of his dead buddies

This makes sense with the zeckrom and reshiram in the garden in kalos
Unova a is my fave! Best Pokemon games and Dex! Thanks Hoops: ⬛️⬜️/⬛️⬜️2️⃣🖤
Amazing video! Really helps me respect all Pokémon that I don’t have a personal connection to. Love how u used shiny Pokémon.
Awesome video hoops. Well worth the wait. 100%
These are fun, keep it up!
I quite like this series
No wonder people keep trying to pair Zoroark and Lucario together.
as for zorua and zoroark, lugia and ho oh were event exclusive for a time in generation 3.
Love the use of shiny Pokémon in this video! I admit I wasn’t sure if my TV was messed up so had to come watch on my phone 😂
The eyes of Simipour aren't closed, they are white because of blindness. That's super sad
