Own up to your mistake about Leon and Iris being related.
Nordpass looked like N word pass to me
Is TrueGreen7 invited to voice act Pokemon Cardinal
Why does no one every talk about Hop's name? So many people still laugh about it since they don't know the meanings behind it. He's named after a plant that has significance in the UK beer brewing industry. But more importantly, it's one of the fastest growing plants in the world "Hop shoots grow very rapidly, and at the peak of growth can grow 20 to 50 centimetres (8 to 20 in) per week." I think that's ment to represent Hop's growth throughout the game and one of the most wildly vary teams ending up with you fighting against a legendary in his final team.
What?! I must have not been paying attention to the trailer for the expansion pass since I had no idea what the characters you encounter in the train station in Wedgehurst were named at first I thought that they might be gym leaders that were version exclusive but now that I know that they are just version exclusive rivals make sense to me. So, im very thankful for your videos clarifing something so simple to rememeber.
Actually, green's team in let's go all evolving with stones is a reference to her title from the manga, where she's known as "The Evolver"
DLG Triple D yay fellow manga fan!
I can’t believe I read the Manga many times and didn’t pick up on that.
I was literally thinling the exact same thing. I wish they would have givem her the team she has in the manga, though. Also, I am so used to calling her Blue because of Adventures. 😅
@@Dandylion567 she's still called green in all translated versions of the manga...
DLG Triple D Green should replace Steven
So no mention of Bede being left handed?
I can't be the only one to notice.
Right?
I noticed too, you are not alone :]
I also noticed.
Funnily enough, both Bede and Allister are the only lefties in the game
Me too
Hold up what, I just saw an arrogant little piece of purrloin whenever I saw Bede
Hop's hair looks like a crown? And here I was thinking that his hair looked like an artichoke.
lol
I always thought his hair was reminiscent of the hop plant he's named after
When I saw the trailer for sw/sh I thought for some reason it was braids
I think it looks like a pinecone.
@@simeonwashington9995 hop is a type of plant?!
The Silver and Gladion similarities are made funnier when one considers that a possible etymology of Silvally is 'Silver Buddy'
Silver Ally
Used to think it was silicone valley
I mean in Japanese Silvally is called "Silvuddy"
Also gladius means means blade/sword in latin, which is a weapon who's dangerous part is made in metal (and silver is a metal, so...)
Another detail about Hop that i like is that when choosing his Starter he chooses the Pokemon that is strong against Leon's Starter which if you ask me is a pretty good longterm strategy on Hop's behalf considering his original goal to become champion.
How does that work if the player chooses Sobble? :?
@@bc-ls7579 I don't know I chose Grookey
@@speckielishouspie8942 I love Grookey!
@Koba true, in the first moments of choosing the starter that's pretty much a given because they always give the player first dibs in every game.
It just so happens to be a plot convenience that Hop's Starter is able to defeat Leon's Starter especially if you choose Grookey because the Sobble line can take out Leon's Charzard AND Cinderace
But i suppose if I liked to overthink the slight stroke of genius from a writing standpoint
Hop picks before Leon....and wouldn't really know beforehand if Leon would have actually used the remaining starter. Hop isn't a secret strategic genius he just lucks out with the type advantage.
fun fact, four out of the five rivals introduced in Sword and Shield counter someone else within that group.
Bede is fairy, which counters Marnie's dark type, which counters Avery's Psychic, who counters Klara's poison, which finally counters Bede. I think that's pretty neat.
wow, didn't notice that detail before
that's true, it's pretty cool fact
And then there's Hop xD
In a sense, they make up an elite 4 for the player, in which Hop could be considered the "champion" of them, since he isn't necessarily countered by any of them
Who are Avery and Klara?
Aloken expansion rivals
Yes! Finally someone notice the crown hairstyle and royalty in Leon and Hop! Thank you!
It's more noticeable with Leon, though I think his hat looks stupid that back on his head so that you see the crown design.
Bede is actually pronounced like “bayd” and means “angel”. Which makes it interesting how he becomes a fairy specialist
Wat! my life is a lie
*B E A D*
well i am not going to say that but knowing my lil baby is an angel is very nice
I THOUGHT IT WAS BUH-DAY I FEEL SO DUMB
It’s pronounced bidet as a reference to what a piece of crap he is
Another fun fact about Hop: In Pokemon Masters, Iris refers to Leon as her cousin, which by extension makes her related to Hop and would explain the three of them having that same shade of purple hair.
Still doesn't even make Hop tolerable
15:08 except he isn’t as douchey as silver he has a good side he just protects himself
Silver had the same change of heart ya know
Dude he was abonded by his father of course he is like that
@@praggodey yes
I like your theory on Hop's hair because I always thought it looks like the Hops plant from where he gets his name
11:58 also Rosa and nate’s names together sounds like Resonate not sure if this was mentioned
My favourite rival is silver but don't understand why he had red eyed in the soul silver intro animation. Great video Hoops
@Pott Rott or smoked an weed oddish..
Different universe different look.
maybe its supposed to be intimidating I guess?
One mistake you made
The meaning of Hilbert and Hildas names arent german, they're germanic
And they're actually cool names where they came from, saying they're derpy or lame is just ignorance
@@DanielPereira-ey9nt the meaning of their names are cool but i'll be honest those names really arent cool
Thank you. I was Freaking out because Im German and was like "but which Word I dont understand, pls help"
x Hale ok but which Germanic language?
And going off of the Gen 5 part. The name Whitley that was said to be one of Hilda's scrapped names was brought back in the Manga for Rosa's manga name.
Like the original Black and White versions, why don’t every Pokémon game have 2 rivals that travel with you to choose your Starter Pokémon?
Does that even matter? I mean what does that even change
@@crystalaria4840 It doesn't leave you wondering what happens to the third starter and Cheren and Bianca are actually symbolic to Black and White.
Pokemon SwSh gives us closure too! When you pick your starter, Hop chooses the type weak to to while Leon keeps the type stronger to it. I remember when I first realized that this was the case, I started planning what my actual team against the Champion would be xD
The games should do these more often!
@@bin6549
Also Cheren means black as bianca means white
@@Megumidah exactly! ^^
So maybe Evil Team Admins and Bosses next?:-) There are also Trial Captains, Kahuna, Battle Fscility Leaders (Battle Frontier, Battle Subway, White Tree, Battle Chatou, Battle Royal etc):-)
I always thought Hops hair looked like the actual plant.
Same
Like Absorb Bulb
I think Hop’s hair is meant to look like hops, the plants in beer, which were first farmed in England
Adding up on the “marnie=sinnoh confirmed” a bead looks like a pearl. And bede is the name of a rival. SINNOH CONFIRMED
No unova because he has solosis and gothita
@@Eis_. i wonder if its a joke or something
@@primarina9812 oof
@@Eis_. wait... *fuck*
@@primarina9812 dont say the f word im only 8
Brock was the last leader of Hyrule.
First time I battled Bede. I actually said. “Now there’s a cocky bastard!”
You forgot: Bede is the most bishi rival to date. He will sparkle over the competition
Merciless Freak ok thats your opinion O-O
Lmao for some reason i though Bede was a girl
@Merciless Freak youre trash
@Merciless Freak if youre gonna be a grammar nazi at least correct something worth correcting u fuckin idiot
Merciless Freak youre opinon is worng
Gonna say it out louder my dude. You deserve more subscribers with this quality of Pokémon content. ♥️
Alright I'll be honest. When I first saw Bede, I thought he was an old woman
Dont most people
I could tell he was a boy 😳
Which is funny because he replaces opal, who is a old lady.
Yep I did too
Same here Jimmy
3:44 Igneel the fire dragon? Pretty fitting for charizard to be honest.
I dont see a dragon
Yup
Here’s a fun fact about the player character’s room in sword and shield, the switch in there has the same joy cons as your real switch, mine has pink and green joy cons in real life, and pink and green joy cons in the game too
It's good to be alive with RUclips
June is the birth month of the pearl. My birthday is in june. My first pokemon game was pokemon pearl...Holy illuminati confirmed
my birthday is 18th june
April's birthstone is Diamond, My birthday is in April, My first mainline Pokemon game was Diamond. Are we in The Twilight Zone?
My birthstone in the ruby, my favorite pair on games are Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire...
9:07 doesn’t bill Rogers also voice prince Sidon I think that was his name I’m not sure I haven’t played botw
4:51 aren’t chase and Elaine supposed to be based on the Pokémon go avatars because they look similar
Except trace isn’t a jerk
Gamefreak sure loves gen 1. 😅 You can travel to the Kanto region in Gold and Silver, there are remakes of the games in gen 3, you can travel to the Kanto region in Heart Gold and Soul Silver, gen 5 is a reboot of gen 1, with the characters resembling red with his signature hat facing forward, gen 7 has a Kanto gym themed building, and even has characters from the region, as well as references and Alolan Pokemon from gen 1, and there's even a second gen 1 remake, which is a remake of Pokemon yellow, in a sense, with both characters even resembling Hilbert and Hilda from Black and White, which is essentially a modern red and blue. They will definitely make sure we never forget about the games that started it all. 😂
(P.S, gen 5 is my favorite gen. Best music, best 2d graphics, best scenery, best story, etc.)
Another small detail is Hop is a trainer that does not seem that strong because he often loses to you but you are insanely powerful, Hop is actually insanely strong. So a character that seams weak but is actually very strong, sound familiar. Now look at his jacket. Blue with white puffs at the top. Kinda like everybody’s favorite pun loving skeleton from Snowdin! SANS!
-Hop is Sans confirmed-
• Hop • 《Pokémon》 Heck Yeah
Neat facts!
Btw Hop's hair also looks like the literal hop plant he's named after
This video reminded me of how amazing the Ruby and Sapphire manga was.
But green and leaf are essentially the same character
Kc Aghanenu green is an alternate version of green from the manga that’s what I assumed
Apparently the green in let's go is an alternate version of her even bulbapedia created a seperate page for her & leaf
It’s pretty confusing
She even wears Leaf's clothes in the Fire Red/Leaf Green chapters of the Pokemon Adventures Manga 🤣
13:19 Subtle romance? Serena's was a blunt as a speeding freight train to the face, and Ash's was practically nonexistent. Also there was no situational reason for Pikachu to zap Serena. Misty, May, and Dawn's bike, and Iris were all collateral damage from a battle or other situation where Pikachu unleashed an electric attack. As for Bonnie she accidently over annoyed Pikachu and he lashed out in defense. (Similar to the opening of Johto episode A Bout with Sprout.)
Prety sure Iris, Bonnie, and Mallow were the only female companions that didn't have a crush on Ash, I'm still not sure about Gou
@@DanielPereira-ey9nt I don't think Dawn or May did either. They had more like brother/sister style relationships.
@@SupermarketSweep777 they definitely did, May's was more brief and subtle but had it's movements, Dawn was a bit less subtle as she got teased about it a few times and a boy that liked her got jealous and challenged the oblivious Ash to a battle for her love, just like what happened to Misty in the orange league
@@DanielPereira-ey9nt May perhaps but much less on Dawn. Sure Lyra asked her but Dawn stated she never really gave it any thought. Kenny had a crush on Dawn for sure, but she still wanted to support Ash as a friend. But at the end she did say Kenny looked handsome too.
@@DanielPereira-ey9nt you know Drew exists right and he is Mays love interest not ash
12:46 I see you named your own Meowstic Lawliet. You are a man of culture.
Seriously though, cool Death Note reference dude 😁
The female characters have so much better Designs D:
tbh, I always love Calme's design better than Serena, same with Johto's player (Ethan's)
I think they have more variety, but not necessarily better designs. Like Wallace? Easily prettier and a way more interesting silhouette then a lot of the female characters
My favorites are May's Ruby/Sapphire look, Dawn's Diamond/Pearl look (particularly in the anime with her much more vividly blue hair), and Serena's.
ok horny
I disagree
I don't know If i am the only one that sees It, but for me, Hop's name and the spiky parts of his hair are pretty inspired by the plant Hop (you know, the one used to make beer?). His hair looks a Lot like this plant upside down!
In my ruby play through, wally fainted Ralts😱
I never ever encountered a shiny. EVER
SO it means I was way lucky that time to witness that
But imagine Wally defeating a shiny Ralts
GalliantGallade 2005 😨😨
Gloria doesnt live in Scotland (its most likely yorkshire or lancashire, lake district) as the crown tundra is based on scotland
I named Hilbert Blake....because it was similar to black without it being black. And Hilda I named Whitney for the same reason.
I'm pretty sure Selene is pronounced sel-lee-nee like the Greek word for the moon.
Also, Elio? Is it not Helio like the prefix for something sun-related?
And I don't see Gladion as a rival since he is never trying to achieve the same goals as you in the game except for the times you work together.
The name is Elio but it is based on the name Helios
Helios is the name of the sun in greek mythology which is where the prefix comes from. The English equivalent would be Elio
Most people pronounce Selene as Sell-een
Fun fact : Cyrus' french name is Helio.
Does cardinal have a release date yet
DiamondTrainer yea you can skip time by going on an adventure an forget it exists
You should do one of these videos on the evil teams and the professors.
5:41 which scene is that from
So the anime made Ethan’s name canon
I think it's zoruak & master of illusions movie it makes sense to me because it came out after heartgold & soulsilver came out in Japan
I don't remember the anime mentioning Ethan's name so no idea where hoops got that info from
No Ethan in the anime it's known as Jimmy and ash battled Ethan/Jimmy in the beginning of the zoroark movie
I wonder if Masters will finally confirm Silver's name
Hop's hair is more so inspired by beer hops I think, same shape and namesake! love the crown idea too tho
Great video! I think a Legendary and Mythical facts vid would be amazing!
Next, please do a fact/trivial video on the evil teams (admin and boss) if possible???
I think that it should be noted that Leaf and Green are not the same characters. They certainly look alike but that is because Green is the manga version of Leaf. In Let's Go, Greens's habit of using Pokeballs in strange ways is also referenced when she throws three Pokeballs at you in Cerulean Cave.
In the B2W2 manga, the Rosa and Nate’s new names are Blaine and Whitley, both names that were cut from the BW game
One thing that I would’ve liked you to include, that Iris from Unova looks awfully like Hop and Leon. (Maybe sister or cousin!)
Last time I was this early, Leon hadn't killed Sayaka yet
When I saw your comment, I was like "WHAT!" and was so confused, but then I saw the name Sayaka and realized who you were actually talking about.
lmao, no
Sayaka killed herself and she blamed Leon for that
@@miominamoto7816 no, Sayaka tried to kill Leon, but Leon killed her out of self-defense.
@@billiezeiszler608 her action makes me feel less sympathic actually, I know that Leon killed her in the act of self-defense, but she not only try to kill Leon by lured him in Naegi's room, she leave a death note out of her own blood to make it clear Leon who killed her
I'm sorry, everytime that first trial was brought up and everyone memed Leon, I was kind of bias towards it
@@miominamoto7816 you don't need to tell me, I already knew how much of a terrible person she was.
12:47 Ahm... No!
Iris is the First Female Traveling Companion of Ash who doesn't have a Bike! 😄😂
Iris: Am I a Joke to you?
Yes
@@PhoneCrab anime iris was a joke, but game iris was no joke
@@abhirane5497 true
Actually, Gladions first pokemon is an Eevee I believe, which he elvoled into an Umbreon. Though, it may have a Rockruff because of his Lycanrock, though in one of the flashbacks it shows him with an Eevee.
Me just now realizing Ash always has the female rival and the male rivals are always side characters or ash has a completely made up character
Fun fact, before the events of White and Black 2, Nate was apparently a cop while Rosa was part of Team Plasma with her Mother.
Wait, so Leaf and Green aren't the same character?
Yes but also no
Yes they are I don't know why he separated them
They are the same character only difference is the name
No, Leaf is the FR/LG protagonist while Green is the manga character who also is in the Let's Go games. Green never appears in anything outside of mangas and the Let's Go games as of now. Leaf is commonly portrayed as the counterpart to Red while Green is not.
@@crazyweirdgirl4488 But I mean Green wears Leaf's Fired Red/Leaf Green outfit at one point in the manga ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
fun fact while Norman & Johanna outside anime usually the parent of Brendan & Lucas's counterpart Grace is so far is the mother of Serena's counterpart both in anime & manga
I noticed that Bede’s hairstyle is a mix of hatenna’s hair and galarian rapidash’ hair
Seeing green caught me off guard why did it take so long to make her in game canon outside from being a playable character
Is green in let’s go a version of green in the manga
I'm German and you're wrong. Hilda and Hilbert are German Names but it doesn't mean Battle. Battle in German means "Kampf" what doesn't sound like Hilda or Hilbert at all. You probably mean a other language.
Also, Bedes German Name is Betys, and he kinda looks like a girl so I thought that he was actually a her and his Name was a Reference to the englisch Name Betty.
15:19. Silver stole his starter to be a dick
Gladion stole type null to protect it just like Lillie did with nebby
The intentions were different
U didn’t mention gladion in the anime
Leaf and Green are supposed to be the same character, and their canon english name is Green.
Haven’t watched the video yet, but I’m sure it’ll be VERY INTERESTING
If Helio is from Cinnabar, that burned down because of the volcano. It means that they were possibly forced to come to Alola
Fun fact, Avery and Clara are the first trainers to ever cheat in a pokemon game (not counting Lance's impossible Dragonites)
If you look at the shaved bit of marnie's head, it looks like a crown. Marnie = Princess confirmed! 😂😂😂
9:06)
"King Rhoam, what is your decree?"
"Mag! Magmor-Mag-Magmortar."
13:13 there he is: 🎶Da BOooi!🎵 😆
Hops hair also looks a bit like an apricorn
11:37 I swear, every time I see a clip from Gen 5, it makes it look even better then before. This looks *sooooo* good!
2:56 i thought leaf and green where the same charecters
hoops not to mention also the fact that the female protagonist in pokemon let's go also happens to share the same name as Elaine from Seinfeld!.
Whitley eventually became the English name for Rosa in the manga
Chronicles was technically a BTS series showing what was going on in kanto while ash was in hoenn
Yes but even though they did mentions ash when a boy asks misty for date
I suggest to read the pokemon adventures for more interesting fact about the characters.
6:34 how did I miss that
Can’t believe I missed that
Dunno if this was mentioned, I haven't finished the video,
Hops hair design also looks like such of an acorn aswell as a crown! Which could be a reference to him becoming a professor! Since most professors names relate to trees. And acorns being a new sprout or a seed to certain trees. Hes a beginner, so hes a seed, an acorn that will grow up to be a tree! His name also relates to trees, this was mentioned in a certain video I've forgotten alot about, but I know his name either is the name of a tree, or translates to a type of tree in some languages.
Would like to mention that Hop's hair is also in the shape of the hop plant. It's probably the main reason for his hair, but the crown theory is really cool!
Green stole her starter (Blastoise) too but to know that you'd have to read the manga
Gladion had eevee as his starter, thats why it is a umbreon now Type: null evolves after eevee
I haven't been able to find any reference to Cheren's rare dialogue... is it definitely true?
Green is actually yellow in Japan
No green is blue and blue is green in japan. Yellow is just a manga character that is based off of the pokemon yellow game
In case anyone is curious Cheren text changes when you don't take damage says this.
Cheren: It's amazing that you won without you're pokemon losing any energy, which is called HP.
Cheren: But you used some of the moves Power points, Or PP, Though.
Wow! The theory about Hop and Leon is cool!
Hop’s hair is actually a reference to his namesake, the hop. And given that their hometown is supposed to represent a Scottish town it is a tangential reference to Guinness beer.
With Victor's jersey, I think 2/27 is also the date Sword and Shield were announced...I seem to remember that announcement being on "Pokémon Day."
Hilda's and Hilbert's name come from a German word meaning battle?!
I don't know if I'm just dumb right now, but I'm German and I really have no clue what word you could mean :/
You have to be kidding about Victor's official number. I largely stayed away from Sword and Shield during their promotional period and initial release so I really didn't know much about either. When I got to where you register for the gym challenge I was trying to think of a good number. I decided to use the release date of my first Pokemon game which was Pokemon Blue which means I chose 227. Crazy how things like that can happen.
Fun fact:in spanish, hilbert's name is literaly the verb fight in first person: "Lucho"
Concerning Hop, his hair is also very likely a reference to the fruits of the hop plant. They look practically identical.
And I’m pretty sure Hops hair colour and the way it looks is to represent his gigantimax partner corviknight
Does he have one ?, and isn't his main pokemon is dubwool ?
Imagine you finding wally's ralts as shiny AND he knocks it out
If this has happened to you consider yourself VERY lucky
8:01 did they go to larvigde town yet?
Oon-fezant.
Have you not heard of the word, Unpleasant?
Hop’s challenger number 189 is the number for Jumpluff.
Hop. Jump. Cute coincidence!
Wait, there's a sword and shield manga?
A fact about bede is that he is the OK Boomer rival
Hop's hair looks like a hop, the seed cone of a plant used in the production of beer.
