    Despite Druddigon having the ability sheer force it gets no stab move that can benefit from this ability

      Dragon moves can be a hit or miss sometimes, still better than some types like rock which have no reliable physical or special move (well… sometimes but most rocks are physical atkers

    I need to contest the flamigo segment - its body is in the shape of a boxing glove, and it’s general shape is so simplified and plasticky that it more closely resembles a flamingo lawn ornament than an actual flamingo.

    9:25 Technically not the name origin, but the Mareep line could also be a reference to the book "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?", what the film Blade Runner is based on.

    Reminds me of how Golisopod's name comes from Goliath and Isopod yet some people still pronounce it Go-liss-o-pod instead of Go-lie-so-pod

    I've also heard people pronounce Honedge as if it were from "honor" and "edge" as this also creates the pun with "on edge".
    Also, I'm pretty sure that the root for Lucario, "O-ri-ca-ru", is supposed to be "oracle".

    If you replace nacl in all those pokemons names with Salt, it still sounds right.
    Salti, saltsack, and gargasalt.

    Flamigo may also come from flamenco(or flamengo in portuguese),it's a spanish dance that requires a lot of agile fancy footwork which would explain the fighting type,sincerely a brazillian who gets annoyed when people think it's a lazy name,also it's probably unrelated but flamengo is a famous brazillian football/soccer team so more footwork,i love etymology in general

      @Birdsflight44 2 месяца назад +2

      There are good singular elements to its design, but none of them are pushed far enough for it to matter.
      It couldn't even pull off the Gen 1 level of simplicity correctly, proving that designs like Seel, Ponyta and Persian actually had something going for them.
      Therefore, its a failure.
      Which is a shame- the concept isn't bad (I'd probably have one if Pokemon were real ngl) if it had a few more drafts, AND we had that amazing leaked flamingo concept, too.

    Omg people who always say nacli is just a reference to NaCl which is salt, YOU ARE ALL WRONG. You able salt almost always has iodine added to it, and you know what iodine that has been added to table salt is? NaClI, or table salt

    • @MEPlaysGames
      @MEPlaysGames  2 месяца назад +2

      Like we said in the video, table salt is NaCl. Iodized salt is a mixture of pure salt and a separate compound including iodine, like NaI. Iodized salt is not one compound
