Being honest, I'm stunned it took THIS LONG to get a car Pokemon and I actually kinda wanted one. Revavroom is about as great as I could've hoped, though I'm actually surprised it wasn't a ghost car. Maybe a regional form some day
I mean before Varoom/Revavroom I remember seeing a Pokemon in Galar that drives around with wheel(s)and that was Rolycoly. Maybe they like that design so much they made this version as well as it's evolution to make up for Rolycoly's final evolution!
I remember Ken Sugomori did an interview that was featured in an Ultra Sun/Moon guide book using a hypothetical car Pokémon to describe the process of how a Pokémon is created/designed.
I was gonna point out too but you beat me lol. And yeah that's Yusuke Kozaki, one of the Fire Emblem artists who designed these Pokemon. It's honestly amazing how great he designed creatures too! :0 Don't forget Cetoddle and Cetitan too!
Im still holding out hope for a mystery gift for revavroom with those moves, but considering how insane some of their side effects are it might never happen
The fact that it doesn’t learn u-turn is pretty messed up too imo 😂 my guess would be the original Japanese name probably isn’t a word that also refers to cars like the English one is but still, would have fit and made revavroom quite a bit more viable competitively!
you can actually use the moves, look it up i forgot how but i think you have to talk to the Star leader you want the move from (after beating them) if you have Revavroom in the team i think it works again look it up if im wrong
@@wispyfox6854 youre completely wrong unfortunately, the move doesnt even have a written description so its likely intended to never be used outside of the one star battle
If anyone is wondering why it isn’t a ghost type FROM A LORE PERSPECTIVE, well rotom loses its ghost typing when possessing an object, so it can be assumed taking on that physical form disqualifies a Pokemon from ghost typing
it's probably not ghost type because the designers wanted a steel poison type pokemon. who can blame them? there wasn't a steel poison type before, and there needed to be one
... So... Corsola-G Cofagrigus Polteageist Gimmighoul Chest Dhelmise ? I get Pokémon like Decidueye, Golurk, Aegislash and the like as Ghost is their secondary so they can just have it as an afterthought or have ghost powers and aren't ghosts themselves.... but the ones I listed up top are Pure and Primary typed Ghost types with physical bodies or possessing a physical object..... but even then... Aegislash is a sword possessed by a spirit and it's still Ghost type. So is Golurk. It's a spirit-inhabited golem and it's still Ghost type.
My hubby almost got killed as an early teen by a go-kart while riding one himself; a man rear-ended him full speed and the seatbelt cut part of his neck (avoided the jugular and windpipe narrowly, he still has the scar)
I don’t mind if it’s an object Pokemon. The line itself is pretty cool. I thought of an idea I had for an RC Helicopter Pokemon in the vein of Magnemite and Beldum where it could get more helicopter rotors with the final evolution being a drone.
@@IronDino I could see a Middle East region centred around the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers with these guys; given the drone was invented by an Iraqi-born named Alexander Karam.
I personally love the symbolism behind the line's hidden abilities: working on a slow starting fixer-upper engine and your work paying off with a good one that has a better filter system.
I also want to point to its movepool in how it sticks to the wheeled vehicle theme. *Overheating* engine, *Spin out*, Kicking up dust like a *sandstorm* come *rain or shine*, Lots of gas moves because of exhaust, *shifting gear* and making a loud *uproar*, and lots of full body tackle moves because it's going to crash into things
Although…not to be THAT guy, but… MagneMITE may actually be based on the critter in the latter part of its name, just with objection making it up. A mite made of magnets, if you will…
Only you could get me to watch a video about seemingly random engine Pokémon. I love learning more about this stuff. Love how you used shiny footage at the same time you had that “did he just kidnap her?” part. You either miss one or the other. XD
@@Oceane1803 0:22 At the very bottom, he put Andrarch. Even if it is in a negative context (and I would argue one it doesn't belong in), It's still nice to see
Arguably it’s a really good Pokémon, but it would have been cooler if it had that same type changing mechanic just like how the Revevrooms from the bosses changed types based off what car they were in.
I can't quite explain it but there's something very precious about Varoom. Like the "aww, you go, buddy!" energy you get from watching a robot vacuum do its job. But now Varoom is actually alive. Idk. I like it. It's weirdly cute.
Even tho I'm not the biggest fans of these pkmn, I really appreciate the creativity for the first poison/steel type. A polluting can is GENIUS, I just wish it was more than just an engine block
@@JamesDavy2009 I haven't had any designs drawn, but I do have an idea for two signature abilities. The first one is called gearshift. It functions similar to aegislash's ability but instead changes between high offense and high speed. The other ability is combustion, whish gives revestation stab bonus for all fire type moves
@@mikerenois2220 The latter ability is a good one. As for the former ability, I would call it Nitro Boost-attacking moves induce a similar change in stats to Blade Forme Aegislash while status moves change the stats to favour speed.
does anybody else have the headcannon that Revavroom turns upsidedown and crawls along the ground using its exaust pipes if/when it doesnt have rocks to spin?..no? just me? ok
Love your work friend, these just keep getting better and better! I remember a few years back you were going through a real bad time and clearly showed you were thinking of quitting. Boy am I glad you pulled through, because all my favorite videos from you came after that. Thank you for all these years, and please keep rocking my dude!
The one thing I like is that their mouth is above their eye in that cylinder and has a 360degree spinning tongue (also it has the unique poison steel typings) I like how varoom has slow start so regigias isn’t alone anymore. Though one thing I kinda wish they did, even if you can’t use the starmobiles I wish they could have taught your Revaroom their starmobile moves
Andrarch (Fossil Fighters) also predates it by about seven years. That said, I wouldn't call any of those three (and maybe the Cassette Beasts wolf, I haven't played it yet) 'edgelord Pokemon clones' as they're basically doing their own thing, but I'm pretty sure he was doing a set-up joke for Klefki there.
If I had a nickel for every time lockstin called Spain the blank capital of the world I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
The fact that the Team Star leaders don't become move tutors to teach your Revavroom their respective moves is a crime, and that's the most evil thing any team has done in Pokémon
It could be a convergent evolution Pokémon like Diglett vs Wiglett. After a bit of research, I found that electric cars were invented in Germany. A Germany-based region is probable in the next generation or two given how Euro-centric the franchise has been lately (excepting Gen-VII).
Varoom and Revavroom were both designed by Yusuke Kozaki, the lead character designer for games like No More Heroes, AI the Somnium Files, and Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates. In other words; the man has earned the right to do whatever he wants.
Random Hank's Random Pokémon bingo card: in a future generation, Revavroom gains the ability Engine Swap. Similar to Rotom, engine swap revavroom changes type depending on the chassis it's given as a held item And Random Hank has to say Built Ford Proud
I generally take issue with most Object-mon. But these two actually make way more sense to me at baseline, both because of the plot in game and the lore behind them. Poison-type can easily be a caustic organic matter, and many pokemon are living creatures made of it. Either a Grimer or Gastly opting to live in the metal shell with some power behind it tracks completely. Them the poison causes the already volatile mon to fuse to their casing? Yeah. Tracks. Even the Starmobiles, considering my prior point. These object mon are probably the most creative ones in AWHILE. Which I say cause I care more about execution than concept. And they nail both
I absolutely love how bizarre these two look. A mouth above its singular eye with weird siphon-tube pipes attached to a race car made of random rubble. They’re so chock-full of personality, too! My favorite Gen 9 ‘Mons, hands-down. Spidops is right up there with ‘em!
To me it always came across as more original and creative to make a pokémon based on an object of some kind. Anybody can think of a pokémon based on any old animal but... A _car?_ A _keyring?_ An _ANCHOR?_ that actually takes some creative thinking to make cool and get right and believe me they have, many times.
The whole "decorating your trucks" thing reminded me of Jeepneys (a cheap public transport bus type thing, which consists modified Jeeps left by the Americans after WWII (tho, i have seen other ones, they probably just use old and cheap trucks/vans since jeeps are running out)), they are usually decorated with things the owner likes and/or just say the town/city they operate in. And guess who first colonised the Philippines? The Spanish! idk just wanted to say this
Revaroom could've at least kept the moves as Starmobiles, I mean that would be fun in competitives. Also I still question the logic on how these engines reproduce with other Pokemon...
You know when I first saw Varoom it remind me of RolyColy another Pokemon that drives along on wheel(s) and I had fall in love with that Pokemon and so too this one. I curious tho as to of it's shiny color variant as it is gold, perhaps much like shiny Pokemon to be rare automobiles are very rare too maybe! Also could you imagine if Gamefreak were to sell toys of Revavroom like they were Hot Wheel cars! They would make a ton of money with that idea of merch.
"Persona turned it into an old, possessed car" Poor Raidou, being pushed to the wayside and just assumed it's another Persona... No disrespect on the Persona games, of course, but Oboroguruma (the car demon) only appears in the Raidou games, and those aren't part of the Persona series, just another sub-series under the MegaTen label. Not that I can expect people who aren't fans of the series to really know that honestly lol.
It was really interesting that this evolution line was located in paldea for the popularity for the bikes, i always thought that they put them in there was only because spain created the first engine that can work with water.
I haven't had the chance to see the shiny variant of this Pokémon but I sincerely hope it's red to reference Stephen King's "Christine": a bright red living car that does the murder
5:11 carbon monoxide is the primary deadly component of exhaust and I’m not sure I would call it poisonous; it kills by displacing oxygen in the lungs in a manner resembling drowning
How much you wanna bet that Palworld will one day make Tsukumogami Pals that are basically Possessed D1ldos, Fleshl1ghts, Guns, Discarded Drug Apparatuses, etc.?
People need to stop bagging on Kelfkey. Folk tales used to blame fairies for stealing/moving keys, kelfkey is a fairy that steals keys and looks like a keyring. There is more than 1 stop on this train of thought.
GF could make a group of fossil fuel-based Pokémon to fit alongside the pollution Pokémon. They already have the Rolycoly line so how about a Grass/Rock fossil Pokemon, a Rock/Poison oil Pokémon or a Timburr convergent/regional variant based on oil mining.
If what those origins are saying were true........... Then maybe we'll put Varoom and Revaroom on every type that are, of course, other than Fire, Dark, Poison, Fighting, and Fairy.
Gotta love these videos explaining the lore behind the pokemon, definitely shows how much thought is in the pokemon now. Rather than just animals or objects mixed with a few things sometimes
Oh, the first steel/poison type is a car? Welp, I guess that means it can't have levitate. That's disappointing but at least it makes sen- *flies in game* WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Well, it looks like it proves Mikey can't use Varoom for Team Sky's takeover of Paldea, but it's now fair game for Team Quark Drive to use when we take over Paldea!
I believe that "Dekatora/Decorated" Revavrooms could be also loosely based on parade floats that appear during various events in Spain (like Easter for example)
Me, sees Nexomon Arctivore: :D Also me with Nexomon being labeled a Pokemon clone: :( (But Arctivore being a edgy wolf 'mon is somewhat fair, especially its revived version in Extinction jacking it up to 11)
Don't be so suprised, they made a Pokemon based on a brick wall in Sun and Moon and everyone made Trump/Wall jokes especially with Yungoos. And also surprised they never did a British taxi Pokemon for the Galar region ('ello govenor'), they have food based Pokemon too (if they did a gingerbread man one based on either an actual gingerbread man or the fairytale, that would be cute).
Dude, I think you misunderstand what they mean by "poisonous fumes" if you're going to use that car death method and then say "yet we shoot it into the atmosphere like it's no big deal".... BECAUSE IT ISN"T!! You breath OUT the thing that it shoots out. Dry Ice is MADE OF the stuff. Now, mind you "Monoxide" is a type of poison, but that's for a slightly different reason than Carbon Dioxide. You need Oxygen to live, when the room is filled with gasses other than Oxygen (such as CO2), your body will be lacking IN that precious oxygen, thus will die of "Carbon Dioxide Poisoning", which in actuality is "Oxygen Depravation".
You know what your Teen Pokémon game needs? That Ninjask/Shedinja. A wheel Pokémon that as you travel with it, runs over another Pokémon, and then following after the wheel evolves, and you get the new one if you have room and a ball.
It's almost like the world of Pokemon is inhabited by monsters and not typical ecology. I really think Pokemon could have went in a very different direction early on if it hadn't just tried to completely replace almost the entire animal Kingdom with Pokemon and instead actually let Pokemon be monsters independent of normal animals. Nah the object mon haters would still whine like babies
I have had a theory that Varoom was created by a Ghastly or Haunter possessing a car engine and getting stuck or something. Cause it even has the tongue that’s so important to the line. And just like how Rotom is Electric/Ghost and loses the Ghost type for whatever type the object it possesses gives it, it became a Poison/Steel type.
At first I wasn't too keen on the idea of a car engine Pokémon, but after seeing them in game and learning more about them, I actually really like Varoom and Revavroom now.
Years ago, one of my family cats got out and hid in my father's suberban's engine compartment, and we ended up driving around town to find him just for my mother to hear meowing while we were driving (and we were driving for a while) He was fine, and my family and I had a simultaneous sigh of relief and little bit of a laugh
Varoom just appeared in the anime, and when I saw the possession pokedex I immediately thought of Pecharunt. That'd remove the idea of a pokemon dying to posses it since Pecharunt is a ghost, but it'd be kinda cool if that was forshadowing for the local mythical.
Ok, 20 seconds in, and there's a Fossil Fighters mention which, Y E S...but I will NOT accept Andrarch (Andrewsarchus) slander. That Vivosaur is the GOAT. Also the reason why it looks more like a canid than what it actually is (a Cetancodontamorph) is that its design is more based on more classical and dated depictions of the animal as a Mesonychian (a group of carnivorous artiodactyls) so...yeah, there's that.
heres another thing about torque. therre is a thing known as torque steer. its when a vehicle pulls to one side because of the power then engine is putting out to the wheels.
I think they more craggy appearance they gave to Varoom and Revaroom really works and didn’t make them look as ridiculous as they definitely could’ve been
These two Pokemon were so over the top that I loved them. I did pick one for my playthrough. They look as if Slimer from Ghostbusters posseded an engine, lol.

Also I still question the logic on how these engines reproduce with other Pokemon...
About the same way as how Mineral-group Pokémon reproduce.
You know when I first saw Varoom it remind me of RolyColy another Pokemon that drives along on wheel(s) and I had fall in love with that Pokemon and so too this one. I curious tho as to of it's shiny color variant as it is gold, perhaps much like shiny Pokemon to be rare automobiles are very rare too maybe!
Also could you imagine if Gamefreak were to sell toys of Revavroom like they were Hot Wheel cars! They would make a ton of money with that idea of merch.
“Revavroom wants to learn Wicked Noxious Blazing Magical Combat Torque!” It’s an Omni-type move that’s 4x super-effective on just everything.
"Persona turned it into an old, possessed car" Poor Raidou, being pushed to the wayside and just assumed it's another Persona... No disrespect on the Persona games, of course, but Oboroguruma (the car demon) only appears in the Raidou games, and those aren't part of the Persona series, just another sub-series under the MegaTen label. Not that I can expect people who aren't fans of the series to really know that honestly lol.
I love using this guy competitively. Filter + Air Balloon + Shift Gear + newly introduced, quite solid typing = loads of fun
It was really interesting that this evolution line was located in paldea for the popularity for the bikes, i always thought that they put them in there was only because spain created the first engine that can work with water.
I haven't had the chance to see the shiny variant of this Pokémon but I sincerely hope it's red to reference Stephen King's "Christine": a bright red living car that does the murder
It’s gold
@@theelemental3096 Aw biscuits
5:11 carbon monoxide is the primary deadly component of exhaust and I’m not sure I would call it poisonous; it kills by displacing oxygen in the lungs in a manner resembling drowning
I nicknamed mine 88mph it carried my team in Scarlet.
How much you wanna bet that Palworld will one day make Tsukumogami Pals that are basically Possessed D1ldos, Fleshl1ghts, Guns, Discarded Drug Apparatuses, etc.?
I'm the #1 objectmon fan, I love that you can go so in depth with them! Love your videos, I learn something new every time
People need to stop bagging on Kelfkey. Folk tales used to blame fairies for stealing/moving keys, kelfkey is a fairy that steals keys and looks like a keyring. There is more than 1 stop on this train of thought.
8:34 he is on a sussy website on the phone lol
GF could make a group of fossil fuel-based Pokémon to fit alongside the pollution Pokémon. They already have the Rolycoly line so how about a Grass/Rock fossil Pokemon, a Rock/Poison oil Pokémon or a Timburr convergent/regional variant based on oil mining.
If what those origins are saying were true........... Then maybe we'll put Varoom and Revaroom on every type that are, of course, other than Fire, Dark, Poison, Fighting, and Fairy.
Gotta love these videos explaining the lore behind the pokemon, definitely shows how much thought is in the pokemon now. Rather than just animals or objects mixed with a few things sometimes
Oh, the first steel/poison type is a car? Welp, I guess that means it can't have levitate. That's disappointing but at least it makes sen-
*flies in game*
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
And it still doesn't have levitate
Well, it looks like it proves Mikey can't use Varoom for Team Sky's takeover of Paldea, but it's now fair game for Team Quark Drive to use when we take over Paldea!
I believe that "Dekatora/Decorated" Revavrooms could be also loosely based on parade floats that appear during various events in Spain (like Easter for example)
Why does this thing hover in the air in the games? Shouldn’t it be, you know, on the ground
Me, sees Nexomon Arctivore: :D
Also me with Nexomon being labeled a Pokemon clone: :(
(But Arctivore being a edgy wolf 'mon is somewhat fair, especially its revived version in Extinction jacking it up to 11)
I hope in Gen 10 we get a Steel/Electric variant inspired by EV motors.
I don't dislike object Pokemon.
I just HATE Vanillish and Vanilluxe.
0:24 Honestly describing electrode as "pokeball but upside-down" would be funnier.
Sure would be cool if we could make our own starmobiles
Honestly, not mentioning Spectrobes in the "other pokemon clones" segment, smh.
pokemon making a cool turtle pokemon. lockstin: time for an over an hour long video idea! and we all still watch all of it
The starmobiles being named after the stars in the Cassiopeia constellation is a pretty cool bit of trivia
Don't be so suprised, they made a Pokemon based on a brick wall in Sun and Moon and everyone made Trump/Wall jokes especially with Yungoos. And also surprised they never did a British taxi Pokemon for the Galar region ('ello govenor'), they have food based Pokemon too (if they did a gingerbread man one based on either an actual gingerbread man or the fairytale, that would be cute).
i could see its first stage being a normal cookie with a face
12:25, why, oh why, does a Neo-Spacian Pokemon exist?
Dude, I think you misunderstand what they mean by "poisonous fumes" if you're going to use that car death method and then say "yet we shoot it into the atmosphere like it's no big deal".... BECAUSE IT ISN"T!! You breath OUT the thing that it shoots out. Dry Ice is MADE OF the stuff. Now, mind you "Monoxide" is a type of poison, but that's for a slightly different reason than Carbon Dioxide. You need Oxygen to live, when the room is filled with gasses other than Oxygen (such as CO2), your body will be lacking IN that precious oxygen, thus will die of "Carbon Dioxide Poisoning", which in actuality is "Oxygen Depravation".
He is always like that, sometimes he just can't help but insert some surface-level "social critic" that is completly unrelated to the actual topic
You know what your Teen Pokémon game needs? That Ninjask/Shedinja.
A wheel Pokémon that as you travel with it, runs over another Pokémon, and then following after the wheel evolves, and you get the new one if you have room and a ball.
Wait, what if they get a starmobile-like mega evolution?
I wish it had Speed Boost. Imagine how good it would br.
I think the Fighting Starmobile one had it
It's almost like the world of Pokemon is inhabited by monsters and not typical ecology. I really think Pokemon could have went in a very different direction early on if it hadn't just tried to completely replace almost the entire animal Kingdom with Pokemon and instead actually let Pokemon be monsters independent of normal animals. Nah the object mon haters would still whine like babies
Good he dropped a video. Wasn’t like I was sitting here rewatching old videos with “Solgaleo eating the sun” promos or anything like that…
I have had a theory that Varoom was created by a Ghastly or Haunter possessing a car engine and getting stuck or something. Cause it even has the tongue that’s so important to the line. And just like how Rotom is Electric/Ghost and loses the Ghost type for whatever type the object it possesses gives it, it became a Poison/Steel type.
At first I wasn't too keen on the idea of a car engine Pokémon, but after seeing them in game and learning more about them, I actually really like Varoom and Revavroom now.
Devil Summoner being called Persona had all the energy of a mom calling any pokemon "Pikachu"
Years ago, one of my family cats got out and hid in my father's suberban's engine compartment, and we ended up driving around town to find him just for my mother to hear meowing while we were driving (and we were driving for a while)
He was fine, and my family and I had a simultaneous sigh of relief and little bit of a laugh
Varoom just appeared in the anime, and when I saw the possession pokedex I immediately thought of Pecharunt. That'd remove the idea of a pokemon dying to posses it since Pecharunt is a ghost, but it'd be kinda cool if that was forshadowing for the local mythical.
Revavrooms my favourite gen 9 pokemon, it looks really cool to me. Hearing that it's a revanent yokai made me love it even more
Digimon isnt a Pokémon clone. Personally i think it's better.
Ok, 20 seconds in, and there's a Fossil Fighters mention which, Y E S...but I will NOT accept Andrarch (Andrewsarchus) slander. That Vivosaur is the GOAT.
Also the reason why it looks more like a canid than what it actually is (a Cetancodontamorph) is that its design is more based on more classical and dated depictions of the animal as a Mesonychian (a group of carnivorous artiodactyls) so...yeah, there's that.
Saying Andrewsarchus is a wolf… no, just no.
D-did you just say digimon is a pokemon clone?
This video made me actually sit and look at Varoom for an extended period of time, and I've gotta admit, it's actually kind of cute. Who knew?
this has my 2nd favorite lockstin intro only outclassed by "bow wow sniff bork yip"
I honestly just love Revaroom. As soon as i saw the line i fell in love with it. Solid af shiny form to!
heres another thing about torque. therre is a thing known as torque steer. its when a vehicle pulls to one side because of the power then engine is putting out to the wheels.
"WICKED NOXIOUS BLAZING MAGICAL COMBAT TORQUE!"
All great fighters call out their finishing moves!
I think they more craggy appearance they gave to Varoom and Revaroom really works and didn’t make them look as ridiculous as they definitely could’ve been
These two Pokemon were so over the top that I loved them. I did pick one for my playthrough. They look as if Slimer from Ghostbusters posseded an engine, lol.
Having trainers dress their ace pokemon up to make them look awesome is such a hilarious idea, I hope they do it more lol
