Kubfu coming from the Hisui region makes sense as the two scrolls used to evolve it in sword and shield are very similar to the scrolls used in Pokémon legends for strong and agile scroll mechanic, each mirroring the two styles of Urshifu
Wow, You’re right! And the two different styles even correlate with the two different Urshifu forms, with single and rapid strike. Maybe in Legends you’ll have an Kubfu that evolves depending on what style it is
@@SeantheSharkGuy I was thinking that Kubfu might evolve based on how many times a style is used with it, like you have to use 50 strong or agile style moves for example, then level up. Just based on how you do it on sword and shield, training at the towers the only difference is you’re carrying the scrolls in a smaller form possibly? So may take more ‘training’ with the style you want

technically all of the ultra beast could be put on this list since they come from an entire different plane of existence itself, one that rips space and time to leave chaos in its path, but they're also not even classified as actual Pokemon, so they have reason to, and not to be on the list
Kubfu and Urshifu being from Hisui is cool and interesting. I personally think that Kubfu and Urshifu is from a Chinese region. I find it interesting how Arcanine is considered a legendary Pokémon in China. A Chinese Pokémon region would be interesting since China has a lot rich animals, culture, tradition, mythology, history and technology to draw on.
I figured this would include Pokémon that weren't found in the wild in the region in which they debuted. A bunch of Safari Zone Pokémon or Pokémon found exclusively by in-game trade, for instance. Jynx was an in-game trade while Kangaskhan, Scyther, Pinsir, Tauros, and Dratini were Safari Zone or Game Corner Pokémon, all first truly found wild in Johto. Conversely, Houndour, Slugma, and Murkrow weren't found wild in Johto, but in Kanto instead. Skorupi and Carnivine were only found in the Great Marsh in Sinnoh, not truly wild until gen V, though the Great Marsh does seem to be a somewhat more natural area than the classic Safari Zone. And this is just speculation, but it seems like Rotom probably isn't from Sinnoh, given that it was one-of-a-kind there, and treated in a way that some thought it was legendary, but as time has gone on they've become more and more common, to the point that just about everyone has one on their person at all times in Galar.
13:40 Well actually, Eiscue's region was seen in the Pokemon Anime , in Pokemon Journeys. It was the episode where Falinks also debuted Edit: It was episode 73
well considering the Mural in Sword and Shield is revealed to be Melmetal (as stated for the Sword pokedex Gigantamax entry in Pokemon Home) i would say it and Meltan did start there, they just went dormant/rusty and got traded as scrap.
The sword pokedex entry specifically says that the stories of a cyclops are from a distant land. If you’re talking about the Pokémon depicted on the hill in Turffield that’s clearly a Gigantamax Toxtricity, who’s shield entry says it went on a rampage after it’s own poison penetrated it’s brain which is probably the incident the mural is referencing
Crawdaunt dex entries note it as living in ponds and streams and I don't think it's ever spawned in Ocean routes. It's clearly meant to fill the freshwater crustacean niche while Krabby covered the beaches.
Icecu is probably from the southern hemisphere probably Falkland islands or antartica as the only penguin speices that lives in the northern is the Galapagos penguin but that's also partiely in the southern hemisphere and not a cold place . Tho if icecu does come from the northern hemisphere it could be based on the great auk an extinct animal that's not a penguin but was first called a penguin .
Didn’t know about the mongooses being from India. I just assumed Yungoos and Gumshoos were meant to be from Galar (Gumshoos = Detective = Sherlock Holmes) but were cut from Sword and Shield because of their design’s…unfortunate implications.
@@FoxGalahHasMovedToNewAccounts Not intentionally. "Gumshoe" is a nickname for detective, and the top of Gumshoos' head is meant to resemble a detective cap. But then people noticed the similarity to Trump and the meme culture kicked it into overdrive.
Fun fact polar bears are never in the wilderness in the same spot as a penguin the penguins are from Antarctica which means no bears and polar bears are from the Arctic but I guarantee you if they did live in the same spot polar bears would eat the hell out of penguins they probably wouldn't bother with anything smaller than a king penguin though
Here's one you could have lumped with Corphish: Gible. Similar story except instead of pets, Gible apparently lives in caves, im presuming to seek warmth due to them being from a tropical region as well. (Not corphish but you get the jist.)
13:05 I know you don't like the anime, and the lore is different but... one of the most recent anime episodes show this pokémon getting lost from their home to Galar.
Aren't the Kanto starters from Kalos? That's the only place you can find them in the wild. (Alola too?) Plus them having big forms already means they had to have been there for the war 3000 years ago. Charizard being a European dragon, Venusaur being a Pareiasaur also a European dinosaur, idk on Blastoise. But they have Mega and Giantamax forms meaning they had to be in a European region such as kalos or Galar for at least 3000 years. While unable to be found in the wild of Kanto.
@@ekswailux the ideas of lizards and salamanders being associated with fire comes from Europe. Plus Charizard is literally able to become a dragon... Again in Kalos...
I have the theory that Meltan originally comes from Unova. Since it has a lot of ancient ruins and some of them are under the sea, like the boxes where Meltan are supposedly found. There´s also a contradiction with Klink´s pokedex entries that could be explained with Meltan being originally from Unova. It´s stated Klink was a pokemon discovered just 100 years ago but there´s also pokedex entries that states that It´s suspected that Klink were the inspiration behind ancient people's invention of the first gears. This contradiction could be solved if people are confusing Meltan with Klink. Since they both look like some kind of gear.
Pure speculation from me. Mudbray and Mudsdale could be from a different region. Horses, from what I found during research, aren't native to Hawaii, the place that Alola is based on. Horses most likely aren't native to Japan and the UK. So are Mudsdale, Ponyta and Rapidash from a region we haven't seen? The same is most likely true for Mudbray as well.
Since Galarian Ponyta/Rapidash are based on unicorns, and unicorns are Scotland's national animal, that along with the fact that the Shetland Islands of Scotland have their own breed means that they have more of a chance of probably being native to Galar.
@@Hijiri_MIRACHION Mudsdale and Mudbray are native to Galar, they're based on Clydesdale Horses who are native Scotland, Scotland is a part of the UK, Galar is based on the UK. Its not a secret where they come from.
@@devilrider39000000 I only said Orre because they said Unova. I'm aware of Britain having it's own breeds, mainly because at least Galarian Ponyta is based on one.
I like to think Exeggutor traded it's dragon typing for psychic in order to survive all the poison types, and it helped that there are few ice types and only one line of dragon types in Kanto.
What if there are no natural clefable on the moon and clefairy require pieces of moon that have passed through Earth's atmosphere to evolve and that's why we see Clefairy on Earth. They migrate here to evolve.
One extra neat aspect about Copperajah is that one of Raichu's old dex entries says a single strike can knock out an Indian elephant and then in Legends Arceus Laventon says it could knock out one of the Copperajah from his homeland. He's probably referring to galar in that entry but it still has a connection to that entry
How cool would a pokemon game taking place on an alien plant be, would be a nice contrast to legends arceus taking place in the future rather then the past...like where humans have started to colonize other planets and they discover where some space based pokemon come from and they could even introduce a new type as cosmic type or Astral type something like that.
I really think that suddowoodo and Mr mime are originally from sinnoh. Just a theory but both baby pokemon debut in gen 4 with sinnoh. You can only get Mr mime in Kanto games by trading. And in johto there is only one suddowoodo that you can catch and nobody even knows what kind of pokemon it is and it's heavily hinted that it migrated and stopped there.
You forgot Eevee lol I know its Dex entries don't mention it not being from Kanto, but it's unavailable in the wild until Kalos, which is likely where it's from because of this. It can be found in Sinnoh and Unova, but within man-made areas to which it was obviously imported.
Actually there were penguin-like birds in the arctic, they just went extinct 177 years ago. They were the first to be called penguins, because europeans discovered them first. However those two familys of birds are not the same, they just share a lot of traits and sometimes their name.
How about Hawlucha that Pokémon could be from a future Mexico Pokémon region cause the eagle on the Mexican flag is the mascot and it also has the colors of the Mexican flag as well
Hisuian Growlithe is stated to have once worked together with humans that brought them there. Then went wild after they left. So maybe chinese explorers brought them.
Now this is a video I have wanted to see for awhile. To be fair with Meltan being from our world, we already have plenty of canon dimension traveling in the Pokemon World plus in every game we have the Gamefreak office literally breaking the 4th wall saying they created parts of the game world so Meltan being from the real world isn't that far out there. The Space Pokemon are worth more than an honorable mention. Those Pokemon aren't from the region people attributed from and they bring up very interesting questions. If there are Pokemon in space are there also more humans on other planets? Do some Pokemon that exist on the current planet also exist in space somewhere because they just happened to evolve the same? Also, Ultra Beasts aren't from "space" they are from Ultra Space which is basically a portal dimension that connects to other dimensions.
I love this video and I hope there would be more Hisui forms in Legends Arceus before the game released in January. I do want a region based on Spain I would like to go there.
Well the thing about Clefairy is I don't think it's actually been proven that the legitimately from space I think it's just the mythos and the fact that they sing to the moon so people think that must be their actual home I think they're just nocturnal and they like the Moon and they were actually just from Kanto
That makes me hope there will be another double region like in Gold and Silver with India and China-based regions. They could even do a cool and more mature story with that premise.
It's not clear that it's implying Hisuian Braviary fly in from another region, just that they fly in from the north. They could easily be coming from the Snowpoint/Acuity area, or the Battle Zone...
Eiscue also has that ice block ability to cool down its head as galar is too warm for it Meaning we can already know it is a regional variant, so if a Norway like region is made then we get a regional version of it which would again be its original version
I also greatly enjoy that they made the "new" variants the "true" ones, ever since sun and moon pokemon has been (albiet verrrryyy slowly) trying to tie the regions together and bringing the reigons in line with each other in terms of whats the current technology and how well the other regions interact with each other. Like how the rotom phone and other technologies with rotom are cross generational at this point implying that the pokemon world is getting more advanced as a planet total.
So one that I’ve never heard people mention is Scyther. It can only be found in 2 places in Kanto: Safari Zone and Game Corner. It might be from Johto since the National Park is where Scyther can be found in GSCHGSS, but it could be placed there artificially as well. It’s definitely from Sinnoh considering that it is naturally found in the wild during Legends Arceus and DPPBDSP.
I feel like Riolu and Lucario might be from regions other than Sinnoh, mostly because while they debuted there you can't actually catch any in sinnoh, you are given an egg only
I think another group that should get an honorable mention are the "Man made/ influenced " ones like Voltorb, Muk, Trubish & the likes because trash/waste & human influences that caused these evolutions are not very localized
Another detail that an India based region might be a possibility in the near future is because Kantonian/original Raichu's Pokëmon Sun Pokédex entry states the following: "It unleashes electric shocks that can reach 100,000 volts. When agitated, it can knock out even an Indian elephant." The "Indian Elephant" in that Pokédex entry might actually be a reference to Coparajah since that was based on the Indian Elephant.
My theory for meltan (the mercury pokemon thing) is that it’s from a china like region, being that mercury is found the most in china and it also has a sorta Chinese sorta coloring to me, maybe it’s just me
I am fully expecting Yungoos, Gumpshoos, and Zangoose to be in Scarlet and violet. They are all mongoose, most mongoose are native to the Iberian peninsula, where Paldea is based off of
I've always wondered where the three original legendary's from gen 1 : zapdose , articuno , and moltores came from. I mean, they are all over the place! Sword , shield, red, yelow, lets go evvee, and lets go pikachu!

real world places I want to see made into pkmn regions some day: Austria Ireland Italy Greece Switzerland Spain maybe Norway and Hungary don't ask why cause for some I don't really have a good answer xD
I might be a bit biased as I am Norwegian, but a Norwegian Pokemon region would be really cool, think about surfing on the fjords and climbing around all the mountain ranges that are around them, personally I think that would be really fun
There are so many great places that could be the theme of new regions (Russia, India, Africa, Middle East, South America, Scandinavia, Mexico, China) and give a needed fresh breath of air to the games. But I guess USA Regions and other iterations of Japan is what we'll get. (Yes I'm aware we've had France and UK recently, and I really like it. But I really wanted to see somewhere with a more different aesthetic)
I still wouldn't mind a Florida region that stretches out to the Keys islands and has the Everglades as one giant wild area. Alternatively they could revisit Orre and expand it with new Orrean pokemon based on the Arizona area. Orrean Cacturne similar to Alolan Exeggutor sounds likely.
@@ScionStorm1 You could achieve very similar things (As in landscape and weather) by using places like Peru or Argentina and you'd have the plus of having a brand new culture and history to work with
I assumed corphish came from a thailand region. They,south east asia, farm crustaceans. Which include 🦐.(most of the Pokemon are from this region on this list.)
I mean... We already know there are different dimensions in the Pokemon world and Marshadow had to have somehow known about what Real World Earth is about... Meltan's potential background already has some foundation
Here's the first I thought of, even though it's not clear WHY it's like this, so I can't say I know it's not from Kanto: Farfetch'd. It's one of the OG Pokemon you only get once from an NPC. Why? Well, it's Pokedex in R/B doesn't say why it's so rare. Yellow(and the later Let's Go games) kinda hints that it's an endangered species. Crystal mentions people doing captive breeding to keep them from becoming extinct. But it's a pokemon more common in Galar than seemingly anywhere else. Hmm... yeah, hard to say what's up with this one.
Lapras cannot be from Kanto. You can only get it in Gen1 from a scientist who was doing research on it. Cinnabar Island, And surrounding areas should have been a good place to find Lapras in the wild, yet that didn’t happen. Lapras is more of a migration type deal, but we still don’t know where it originated. Do we consider the Orange Islands cannon to the games? We could have had several places where Lapras could have originated😐, so now I wonder if we will ever get that info?
I wouldn’t be surprised if Komala was from an Australian based region. Pancham/Pangoro could be from a Chinese based one. Litleo and Blitzle could be from regions based on African countries.
I think Tauros might be endemic to Johto rather than Kanto because it can only be found in the Safari Zone, while in Johto it can be found in the wild along with Milktank
And same with houndoom , it is found in the wild in kanto(GSCHgSs) and in the jhoto safari (HgSs)
And milktank is basically the female to Taurus full male species
What is the tauros were brought to the farm from the wild area?
And all the johto mons found in kanto lol
Or even have Miltank in Kanto in the safari zone. Either or, makes sense

technically all of the ultra beast could be put on this list since they come from an entire different plane of existence itself, one that rips space and time to leave chaos in its path, but they're also not even classified as actual Pokemon, so they have reason to, and not to be on the list

In a Russian-based region, you don't catch Pokémon. Instead, Pokémon catches you.
In Legends Arceus. You are the encounter hiding in the tall grass
@@lurkingone7079 Wait what... Ive played PLA for over two days total and never thought abt that...
@@penguin_reader_yt9510 They are just minding their business and then this strange being jumps at them that attacks them.
In hisui you ride sneasler, in r34 sneasler rides you.
I've always counted zouroa and Zorark in this group since it's only gifted to you in Unova but actually found in the wild in Kalos
Kubfu and Urshifu being from Hisui is cool and interesting. I personally think that Kubfu and Urshifu is from a Chinese region. I find it interesting how Arcanine is considered a legendary Pokémon in China. A Chinese Pokémon region would be interesting since China has a lot rich animals, culture, tradition, mythology, history and technology to draw on.
I figured this would include Pokémon that weren't found in the wild in the region in which they debuted. A bunch of Safari Zone Pokémon or Pokémon found exclusively by in-game trade, for instance.
Jynx was an in-game trade while Kangaskhan, Scyther, Pinsir, Tauros, and Dratini were Safari Zone or Game Corner Pokémon, all first truly found wild in Johto. Conversely, Houndour, Slugma, and Murkrow weren't found wild in Johto, but in Kanto instead.
Skorupi and Carnivine were only found in the Great Marsh in Sinnoh, not truly wild until gen V, though the Great Marsh does seem to be a somewhat more natural area than the classic Safari Zone.
And this is just speculation, but it seems like Rotom probably isn't from Sinnoh, given that it was one-of-a-kind there, and treated in a way that some thought it was legendary, but as time has gone on they've become more and more common, to the point that just about everyone has one on their person at all times in Galar.

Well actually, Eiscue's region was seen in the Pokemon Anime , in Pokemon Journeys. It was the episode where Falinks also debuted
Edit: It was episode 73
Interesting
well considering the Mural in Sword and Shield is revealed to be Melmetal (as stated for the Sword pokedex Gigantamax entry in Pokemon Home) i would say it and Meltan did start there, they just went dormant/rusty and got traded as scrap.
The sword pokedex entry specifically says that the stories of a cyclops are from a distant land. If you’re talking about the Pokémon depicted on the hill in Turffield that’s clearly a Gigantamax Toxtricity, who’s shield entry says it went on a rampage after it’s own poison penetrated it’s brain which is probably the incident the mural is referencing
@@CliffCutterActual even the games can’t agree on dex entries 😂
There's so many theories that go through my head about their region of origin. You know they do this so we get thinking about the future!
I’m hoping I’m not the only one.. I don’t think Crawdaunt looks anything like Sharpedo
Yeah but Garchomp
Yeah but Garchomp
Crawdaunt dex entries note it as living in ponds and streams and I don't think it's ever spawned in Ocean routes. It's clearly meant to fill the freshwater crustacean niche while Krabby covered the beaches.
Icecu is probably from the southern hemisphere probably Falkland islands or antartica as the only penguin speices that lives in the northern is the Galapagos penguin but that's also partiely in the southern hemisphere and not a cold place . Tho if icecu does come from the northern hemisphere it could be based on the great auk an extinct animal that's not a penguin but was first called a penguin .
Didn’t know about the mongooses being from India. I just assumed Yungoos and Gumshoos were meant to be from Galar (Gumshoos = Detective = Sherlock Holmes) but were cut from Sword and Shield because of their design’s…unfortunate implications.
Isn't gumshoos Donald Trump?
@@FoxGalahHasMovedToNewAccounts Not intentionally. "Gumshoe" is a nickname for detective, and the top of Gumshoos' head is meant to resemble a detective cap.
But then people noticed the similarity to Trump and the meme culture kicked it into overdrive.
@@italianbaptist Ok
I honestly DO believe we'll get a Scandinavian based region soon. There were just too many things hinting at it in Sword and Shield.
Canadian region with Icecue origins, and Beartic variant?
Fun fact polar bears are never in the wilderness in the same spot as a penguin the penguins are from Antarctica which means no bears and polar bears are from the Arctic but I guarantee you if they did live in the same spot polar bears would eat the hell out of penguins they probably wouldn't bother with anything smaller than a king penguin though
For a Canadian Region, watch the RUclips series _Pokémon Cardinal._ It features a Canada-based Region called Norcloh.
Here's one you could have lumped with Corphish: Gible.
Similar story except instead of pets, Gible apparently lives in caves, im presuming to seek warmth due to them being from a tropical region as well. (Not corphish but you get the jist.)
13:05 I know you don't like the anime, and the lore is different but... one of the most recent anime episodes show this pokémon getting lost from their home to Galar.
Aren't the Kanto starters from Kalos? That's the only place you can find them in the wild. (Alola too?) Plus them having big forms already means they had to have been there for the war 3000 years ago. Charizard being a European dragon, Venusaur being a Pareiasaur also a European dinosaur, idk on Blastoise. But they have Mega and Giantamax forms meaning they had to be in a European region such as kalos or Galar for at least 3000 years. While unable to be found in the wild of Kanto.
That makes a lot of sense
Charizard is Lizard not dragon and That is because Kanto Starters are too popular, game freak wanted to make them avaible nothing more.
@@ekswailux the ideas of lizards and salamanders being associated with fire comes from Europe. Plus Charizard is literally able to become a dragon... Again in Kalos...
I wouldn't be surprised if the Snivy line was from Kalos considering their French looks.
Fun fact there isn't a species of penguin that lives north of the equator.
Actually there is, the Galapagos penguin
theory: corphish and yungoose come from the same region, while hisuin braviary and eiscue are from the same region.
Meltan family from our world actually makes sense or pokemon go's world lol
I have the theory that Meltan originally comes from Unova. Since it has a lot of ancient ruins and some of them are under the sea, like the boxes where Meltan are supposedly found.
There´s also a contradiction with Klink´s pokedex entries that could be explained with Meltan being originally from Unova.
It´s stated Klink was a pokemon discovered just 100 years ago but there´s also pokedex entries that states that It´s suspected that Klink were the inspiration behind ancient people's invention of the first gears. This contradiction could be solved if people are confusing Meltan with Klink. Since they both look like some kind of gear.
Pure speculation from me. Mudbray and Mudsdale could be from a different region. Horses, from what I found during research, aren't native to Hawaii, the place that Alola is based on. Horses most likely aren't native to Japan and the UK. So are Mudsdale, Ponyta and Rapidash from a region we haven't seen? The same is most likely true for Mudbray as well.
Since Galarian Ponyta/Rapidash are based on unicorns, and unicorns are Scotland's national animal, that along with the fact that the Shetland Islands of Scotland have their own breed means that they have more of a chance of probably being native to Galar.
I'm thinking that Mudsdale could be native to a region adjacent to Unova.
@@TornaitSuperBird I'm thinking somewhere near Orre, since it would seem to fit a desert, which Orre mostly is.
@@Hijiri_MIRACHION Mudsdale and Mudbray are native to Galar, they're based on Clydesdale Horses who are native Scotland, Scotland is a part of the UK, Galar is based on the UK. Its not a secret where they come from.
@@devilrider39000000 I only said Orre because they said Unova. I'm aware of Britain having it's own breeds, mainly because at least Galarian Ponyta is based on one.
I like to think Exeggutor traded it's dragon typing for psychic in order to survive all the poison types, and it helped that there are few ice types and only one line of dragon types in Kanto.
If a clefairy touches the moon, would it evolve?
Huh. I wonder if on the moon, clefairies just evolve into clefables the moment they evolve from cleffas, because they're touching the moon?
What if there are no natural clefable on the moon and clefairy require pieces of moon that have passed through Earth's atmosphere to evolve and that's why we see Clefairy on Earth. They migrate here to evolve.
Of regional forms were a thing from the beginning could you find Alolan executor in horn since they are both tropical regions
Did we think the reference to Copperajah was a reference to the British empire when they made Galar?
Question: lucario is a sinnoh pkmn not from sinnoh right. Is it originally from i nova or kalos? Or am I wrong and it’s form sinnoh
One extra neat aspect about Copperajah is that one of Raichu's old dex entries says a single strike can knock out an Indian elephant and then in Legends Arceus Laventon says it could knock out one of the Copperajah from his homeland. He's probably referring to galar in that entry but it still has a connection to that entry
How cool would a pokemon game taking place on an alien plant be, would be a nice contrast to legends arceus taking place in the future rather then the past...like where humans have started to colonize other planets and they discover where some space based pokemon come from and they could even introduce a new type as cosmic type or Astral type something like that.
I really think that suddowoodo and Mr mime are originally from sinnoh. Just a theory but both baby pokemon debut in gen 4 with sinnoh. You can only get Mr mime in Kanto games by trading. And in johto there is only one suddowoodo that you can catch and nobody even knows what kind of pokemon it is and it's heavily hinted that it migrated and stopped there.
There's also the fact that Sudowoodo can be commonly found in the Crimson Mirelands in Legends Arceus.
Since Corphish is so crawdad-like, I'd like to see it coming from my home region. We could see a beautiful sapphire blue regional-variant evolution.
You forgot Eevee lol I know its Dex entries don't mention it not being from Kanto, but it's unavailable in the wild until Kalos, which is likely where it's from because of this. It can be found in Sinnoh and Unova, but within man-made areas to which it was obviously imported.
Actually, eiscue must be from Antarctic region. Penguins are endemic there
maybe pokemon biology is its own thing, so i guess this is why Hoop overlooked that
Actually there were penguin-like birds in the arctic, they just went extinct 177 years ago. They were the first to be called penguins, because europeans discovered them first. However those two familys of birds are not the same, they just share a lot of traits and sometimes their name.
Pokémon biology does not equal real world biology though
Everything’s possible, we already had zebras and orangutans in NY (calm people)
The fact that there is this much corphish/Crawdaunt vs Krabby/Kingler B roll is at least a little interesting lol
How about Hawlucha that Pokémon could be from a future Mexico Pokémon region cause the eagle on the Mexican flag is the mascot and it also has the colors of the Mexican flag as well
Hawlucha is a hawk, not an eagle.
I'm guessing Growlithe original form is hisuain Growlithe that could have also had ranges in China.
Hisuian Growlithe is stated to have once worked together with humans that brought them there. Then went wild after they left. So maybe chinese explorers brought them.
Now this is a video I have wanted to see for awhile.
To be fair with Meltan being from our world, we already have plenty of canon dimension traveling in the Pokemon World plus in every game we have the Gamefreak office literally breaking the 4th wall saying they created parts of the game world so Meltan being from the real world isn't that far out there.
The Space Pokemon are worth more than an honorable mention. Those Pokemon aren't from the region people attributed from and they bring up very interesting questions.
If there are Pokemon in space are there also more humans on other planets? Do some Pokemon that exist on the current planet also exist in space somewhere because they just happened to evolve the same?
Also, Ultra Beasts aren't from "space" they are from Ultra Space which is basically a portal dimension that connects to other dimensions.
I love this video and I hope there would be more Hisui forms in Legends Arceus before the game released in January. I do want a region based on Spain I would like to go there.
wish granted.
This aged quite well xD
Maybe Arcanine is actually is a legendary Pokémon but has ability to breed offsprings.
Well the thing about Clefairy is I don't think it's actually been proven that the legitimately from space I think it's just the mythos and the fact that they sing to the moon so people think that must be their actual home I think they're just nocturnal and they like the Moon and they were actually just from Kanto
"Alola has more sunlight than Kanto"
Ironic, since Kanto doesn't have a day/night cycle and is therefore always daytime.
Sigilyph is prolly from a Peru-based region because it’s based on the Nazca Lines. Nosepass/Probopass could be originally from Rapa Nui like island.
That makes me hope there will be another double region like in Gold and Silver with India and China-based regions. They could even do a cool and more mature story with that premise.
Maybe Coperajah theory is true as thinking about the relationship of UK and India it has a high chance that gen 9 will be based on India
It would actually be really cool if they made a region based on the real world, i.e. where Pokémon Go is set.
I love the videos.thanks for the time you put into this videos hoops.
Hi hoops hope you have a good day 👍🏿( first comment let's go)
It's not clear that it's implying Hisuian Braviary fly in from another region, just that they fly in from the north. They could easily be coming from the Snowpoint/Acuity area, or the Battle Zone...
They weren’t alolan Ratata at first they adapted
Eiscue also has that ice block ability to cool down its head as galar is too warm for it
Meaning we can already know it is a regional variant, so if a Norway like region is made then we get a regional version of it which would again be its original version
I also greatly enjoy that they made the "new" variants the "true" ones, ever since sun and moon pokemon has been (albiet verrrryyy slowly) trying to tie the regions together and bringing the reigons in line with each other in terms of whats the current technology and how well the other regions interact with each other. Like how the rotom phone and other technologies with rotom are cross generational at this point implying that the pokemon world is getting more advanced as a planet total.
So one that I’ve never heard people mention is Scyther. It can only be found in 2 places in Kanto: Safari Zone and Game Corner. It might be from Johto since the National Park is where Scyther can be found in GSCHGSS, but it could be placed there artificially as well. It’s definitely from Sinnoh considering that it is naturally found in the wild during Legends Arceus and DPPBDSP.
I feel like Riolu and Lucario might be from regions other than Sinnoh, mostly because while they debuted there you can't actually catch any in sinnoh, you are given an egg only
I imagine that Guyana is not where mew specifically lives but just where they found it. Strikes me as a pokemon that just goes wherever it wants.
I think another group that should get an honorable mention are the "Man made/ influenced " ones like Voltorb, Muk, Trubish & the likes because trash/waste & human influences that caused these evolutions are not very localized
9:20:
This proves the multi dimensional lore exists!
What are the Ultra Beasts?
Another detail that an India based region might be a possibility in the near future is because Kantonian/original Raichu's Pokëmon Sun Pokédex entry states the following:
"It unleashes electric shocks that can reach 100,000 volts. When agitated, it can knock out even an Indian elephant."
The "Indian Elephant" in that Pokédex entry might actually be a reference to Coparajah since that was based on the Indian Elephant.
We've already been to the Russian region. The battle area and the others from the post game where implied to not be part of sinnoh.
I would love a Norway Region Because I live there
My theory for meltan (the mercury pokemon thing) is that it’s from a china like region, being that mercury is found the most in china and it also has a sorta Chinese sorta coloring to me, maybe it’s just me
I am fully expecting Yungoos, Gumpshoos, and Zangoose to be in Scarlet and violet. They are all mongoose, most mongoose are native to the Iberian peninsula, where Paldea is based off of
I've always wondered where the three original legendary's from gen 1 : zapdose , articuno , and moltores came from. I mean, they are all over the place! Sword , shield, red, yelow, lets go evvee, and lets go pikachu!
Sorry if I get the original game's names wrong, I only know the new games
Don't forget that houndour, slugma, and murkrow (and possibly others) debuted in Gen 2, but can only be found in Kanto...
Hoops, geographicaly (excluding Pokémon or any features) which of the eight region would you want to live in?
I've always had the head cannon that Arcanine is the legendary Pokemon because it is a legendary just created to be all over as it was meant to be gaurdian of man being based off of man's best friend and all
Hey Hoops and Hiphop, do you think there is an yet undiscovered area where we could find the starter Pokémon of every region.
real world places I want to see made into pkmn regions some day:
Austria
Ireland
Italy
Greece
Switzerland
Spain
maybe Norway
and Hungary
don't ask why cause for some I don't really have a good answer xD
Well, Gen 9 is going to be Spain so your wish came true
@@sapphiresupernova lol I DIDN'T actually expect them to do it THAT fast
I might be a bit biased as I am Norwegian, but a Norwegian Pokemon region would be really cool, think about surfing on the fjords and climbing around all the mountain ranges that are around them, personally I think that would be really fun
Was just thinking of this concept, should’ve guessed there was a video
There are so many great places that could be the theme of new regions (Russia, India, Africa, Middle East, South America, Scandinavia, Mexico, China) and give a needed fresh breath of air to the games.
But I guess USA Regions and other iterations of Japan is what we'll get. (Yes I'm aware we've had France and UK recently, and I really like it. But I really wanted to see somewhere with a more different aesthetic)
I still wouldn't mind a Florida region that stretches out to the Keys islands and has the Everglades as one giant wild area.
Alternatively they could revisit Orre and expand it with new Orrean pokemon based on the Arizona area. Orrean Cacturne similar to Alolan Exeggutor sounds likely.
@@ScionStorm1 You could achieve very similar things (As in landscape and weather) by using places like Peru or Argentina and you'd have the plus of having a brand new culture and history to work with
Kinda triggers me that Ho-Oh was never mentioned, it shows up in the very first episode of the anime, but is from Gen2
India and Norway regions would be really cool, now I want that
It is rumored that charmander is actually a galar pokemon due to the influence of dragons, there’s more to it but idr
A fun Pokémon game would be one where we don’t have a set region. But more so a game where we explore other parts of earth/space.
Didn't Mustard say that Kubfu are originally from Galar but they moved away to a mountainous region to train some time ago?
I believe I remember that as the lore as well
Yeah I remember that. I personally believe Kubfu resides now in a Chinese region.
Jynx, Mr. Mime, Scyther, Tauros, Pinsir, Kangaskhan, Eevee, Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Lapras, Dratini, Dragonair, Dragonite, Hitmonchan, and Hitmonlee.
I assumed corphish came from a thailand region. They,south east asia, farm crustaceans. Which include 🦐.(most of the Pokemon are from this region on this list.)
Meltan first appeared in Pokémon GO, not in Let's Go... Gosh...
I mean... We already know there are different dimensions in the Pokemon world and Marshadow had to have somehow known about what Real World Earth is about... Meltan's potential background already has some foundation
Here's the first I thought of, even though it's not clear WHY it's like this, so I can't say I know it's not from Kanto: Farfetch'd.
It's one of the OG Pokemon you only get once from an NPC. Why? Well, it's Pokedex in R/B doesn't say why it's so rare. Yellow(and the later Let's Go games) kinda hints that it's an endangered species. Crystal mentions people doing captive breeding to keep them from becoming extinct. But it's a pokemon more common in Galar than seemingly anywhere else.
Hmm... yeah, hard to say what's up with this one.
Meltan is from the tv show.....😂🤣
Episode 1051
I think its like an ultra beast
Lapras cannot be from Kanto. You can only get it in Gen1 from a scientist who was doing research on it. Cinnabar Island, And surrounding areas should have been a good place to find Lapras in the wild, yet that didn’t happen. Lapras is more of a migration type deal, but we still don’t know where it originated.
Do we consider the Orange Islands cannon to the games?
We could have had several places where Lapras could have originated😐, so now I wonder if we will ever get that info?
fun and amazing video. i hope people do have other nonregional pokemon so u can do a part 2. keep up the good work
All the safari zone exclusive Pokemon in RB.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Komala was from an Australian based region. Pancham/Pangoro could be from a Chinese based one. Litleo and Blitzle could be from regions based on African countries.
