GUYS GUYS GUYS, I realized about one pokemon coincidence. So, this has to do something about math, sooooo. (this coincidence doesn't include generation 1) do Do you guys know about the pokemon remakes? Lets have an example: Generation 2's remake is on generation 4. Lets use multiplication. 2 x 2 = 4!!! Each remake of it's generation is the double number of it's original generation! 2 x 3 = 6, the remake of ruby and sapphire is gonna be generation 6! 2 x 4 = 8, so diamond and pearl's remake is gonna be generation 8! COINCEDINCE?
It's interesting that you mentioned dark, psychic and fighting as potential starter types when they've already done exactly that, with the Kalos-starters. Honestly, I tend to forget that Greninja is part dark-type, because of its ability to change its type.
The Sinnoh and Alola trio had something similar but they didn’t work like with Gen 6 (Gen 4: Ground > Fire and Steel, Steel < Fire/Fighting, Gen 7: Dark > Ghost, Fairy > Dark, Ghost = Fairy)
Another fact: Charizard is the most used Pokemon among the Champions in core games series. Charizard is used by four champions: Red, Blue (if the player choose Bulbasaur as starter Pokémon), Lance and Leon.
3:16 Not only do the Cyndaquil Line and Charmander line have the same stats, but they also have really similar positions in their art. (Looking up into the corner, hands out to their sides, etc.)
Just to correct you, blaziken wasn't banned because of batton passing, batton passing is already too strong by itself. Blaziken was banned because it was too strong as a revange killer. The ability to get speed boost + sword dance in only one turn, and the fact it still had 3 coverage mooves it could use with it gave it the ability to win any match with one good anticipation.
Sceptile isn’t scary. It’s just derpy and is a kinda terrible design. Imagine being loved so much then realizing you are a Christmas tree. And there is no reason to choose Sceptile in hoenn at all. Yeah there may be a lot of water in hoenn but Juan the water type gym leader has ice types. Sceptile also remains a pure grass type and it’s mega does *not* help that at all. A 4x weakness to ice is not good. Sceptile literally goes extinct when it touches a shard of ice. Swampert is obviously way better and blaziken gets speed boost and hits very hard. Those 2 are better options….. oh and swampert is a mud fish not an axolotl
Interesting thing about Swampert being the strongest starter objectively and Incineroar being the strongest starter in doubles is they have very similar stats, being slow and bulky physical attackers with still decent special attack so could go mixed depending on the set.

6:33 when I first started playing Pokémon with Pokémon Sapphire, I picked Mudkip bc it looked the cutest and didn’t realize that it’s fully evolved form would have the strongest stats. I used my level 100 Swampert to beat all the trainers in the game, even the elite four, which is a testimony to its strength.
5:51 regarding Pokémon starter memes, in the spanish community there is, was, And always will be a starter meme, so powerful it trasended the Pokémon franchise itself, it was a squirtel image with the caption"vamo' a calmarno' " which translates to something like " let's calm down" but with a more chill way of speaking
Gen 5 starters are based off of high-up or important classes in different cultures, with a little bit of an old Japanese tale of 3 or so kingdoms mixed in there. Serperior is based of of emperors/kings, Samurott are based of off Samurai (duh), and Emboar is based of off Generals
Its emperor, shogun and samurai, the ruling class of japan, but emboar is also of journey of the west, and serperior in a character of romance of the three kingdoms.
For fact number 17, you could use a fighting-steel-fairy trio. This was the type combination I gave to my first fakemon starter trio. It was fire fairy, water fighting and grass steel. Now, I need to think of a way to fix the fire fairy starter.
Replacement types also work for Rock > Fire > Steel and Poison > Grass > Ground, but they both include types that are apart of the original starter trio, so this is less likely. Rock > Fire > Steel, is also even less likely because the Steel and Rock type starters would resist a lot of early game normal type moves that the Fire starter wouldn’t.
And now we have the Paldean starters which follow the theme of a stage performance, with Skeledirge being a singer, Quaquaval being a dancer, and Meowscarada being a magician
They also have a festival theme to them; With Meowscarada representing Mardi Gras, Skeledirge representing Dia De Los Muertos/Day of the Dead, and Quaquaval representing Rio Carnaval
@@jacktheomnithere2127 To this day, Bulbasaur is the only first stage of a starter with an additional type. I don't think that they're planning to repeat that idea.
@@r4nd0mguy99 Rowlet is also a first stage with an additional type, since it's part Flying. Though it does swap it out for the Ghost type as Decidueye.
@Riwaj pun: It's also worth noting that generations 2 and 8 (the gens that Cyndaquil and Scorbunny were part of, respectively) are the only 2 generations in which none of the three starters got any secondary types at all
Yeah they should have done it so the second typings are strong against the Pokemon with the first typings... so Delphox is strong against Greninja is strong against Chestnaught is strong against Delphox
I had no idea The Legend of Thunder special took so long to localize! I also didn’t know that Cyndaquil had an alternate design when it wasn’t a starter.
Chikorita's main color changing from yellow to green is really interesting and explains why it looks different in older games/artwork. I also didn't know it was the most popular starter in the anime!
correction: the gen 5 starters do NOT represent asian higher social classes. serperior is based on french royalty, and I don't think I have to remind you that france isn't an asian country. instead, the theme with the gen 5 starters is that they represent europe (serperior), china (emboar) and japan (samurott). this was because something they wanted to incorperare in gen 5's characters and pokemon was diversity, and different nationalities, inspired by the diversity of people in america/new york compared to a place like japan.

Y'know, I wonder what the anime would be like if Ash did start with Clefairy. What would it's current moveset be? Would it involve it using Metronome since that's Clefairy's thing in the anime? What would it be like in gen 6 when Clefairy's type was changed to Fairy. So many questions.
And would we have jerkass Clefable trainers that would belittle Ash's Clefairy similiar to Lt. Surge and Sho? Instead of Alolan Raichu (I love it BTW) would we have Alolan Clefable?
The Alola starters are all very good, especially Incineroar and Primarina. I’m glad they did something different with them, they’re all unique in their own way. Decidueye could’ve been given a better HA, though.
I always thought it would be nice if for a Starter weakness triangle, that their sub-types went the opposite direction, but tried to avoid X4 weaknesses as much as possible. So Fire Flying, Water Fighting, Grass Rock in this case.
Gen 4 almost has this. Infernape can counter Empoleon with Fighting, and Torterra can counter Infernape with Ground, but then Empoleon is Steel so they end up being weak to both Infernape’s and Torterra’s secondary types
@@zememerr2329 Yeah, the "AAAAALMOST" factor is kinda like Gen 6, except in that one they fortified the pre-existing loop. I just think it would be cool as a teaching tool for kids to learn about type match ups, and to have varying move pools to cover disadvantages. It's not even that sweaty of a concept either, and by baking it into the starter trio, it raises the chances of kids internalizing that without necessarily having to be told it, or even realizing themselves that they're doing it. And it would give something for the rivals to do, and give a bit of surprise. The first time the "Weak" rival busted out a super effective move on their subtype, it'll be an eye opener.
I would love to see a typing variation for future game starters. The combination of grass , fire and water is good , but I wanted something new that would be very innovative
The theme in all the starters I found fascinating. Also, the guy you mentioned that made the design for the pokemon designed a lot of pokemon I like. I thought the Oshawott and Tynamo lines were so cool.
The Greninja fact reminded me that there is a Pokémon with 4 abilities, Basculin. Red Stripe Basculin gets Reckless, Adaptability, and Mold Breaker, meanwhile Blue Striped Basculin switches Reckless for Rock Head, giving 4 in total since they’re the same Pokémon.
@@obek4959 Not anymore, thanks to the Isle of Armor DLC. Raids with the yellow background are always Own Tempo Rockruff, which can only evolve into Dusk Form.
Heres a fact : The kalos Starters final forms are the two triangles being Grass - Water - Fire And Fightin - Dark - Pychic Chesnaut = Grass/Fighting Greninja = Water/Dark Delphox = Fire/Pychic NOTE: Idk if anyone already knew this but I thought it was pretty cool
Speaking of Pokemon manga. I like that almost every main character expect for three characters had a pokemon that is not a starter as they first pokemon.
The theme of the Alolan starters imo probably fall more in line as rpg roles part two rather than circus, with Incineroar being a berserker, Decidueye an archer, and Primarina a cleric/bard
fighting dark psychic is also the secondary types of the kalos starters greninja - water/dark chestnaught - grass/fighting delphox - fire/psychic also if ghost type was super effective against fairy: decidueye - grass/ghost primarina - water/fairy incineroar - fire/dark
it would be cool, if in a future generation, they would have more obvious differences in starters. for example: Imagine if a female Wartortle didn't evolve into Blastoise, but into a faster more special attack orientated fighter, or if Male Primarina had a drastically different form and typing. So Primarina (m) could be Water/dark, or Water/Fighting.
According to beta information, Cydnaquil was orginally planned to be a steel type. This is explains why "Metal Claw" seemed weird that only scizor got it, As it has pincers NOT claws, crabhammer existed, metal pincer move would have been easy to do. I think it might have been planned for the steel type version of cyndaquil, something that has claws but the move was thrown onto scizor as it was already complete.
Greninja was also the first Pokémon to get two Holowears in Pokémon Unite, and is only one of three to have more than one (the others being Pikachu and Snorlax). Charizard hasn't even gotten one yet, so it seems like they are favouring Greninja
Most of the prontagonists from Pokémon Adventures choose the "Tank" starters (As in, their best attribute when fully evolved is their HP). The exceptions are Gold, who uses a Cyndaquil (a "speed-type", and the Johto Tank, Croconaw, belonging to Silver instead) and Blake, who has the more balanced Samurott.
Hey, TheAuraGuardian! There’s also another alternative trio of the classic water/fire/grass starter typings. That type trio would be fighting/steel/fairy. An interesting set for sure.
Fighting doesn’t resist steel, so that doesn’t work. All of them also need to be resistant to the type they’re strong against, which is why water-fire-grass works so well.
What I find strange is that, as of now, Siebold is the only water-type specialist that’s an Elite Four member, and there’s still no Elite Four members that specialize in grass. Grass is one of the most basic types, so I’m very surprised there isn’t an Elite Four member that specializes in that.
You were way off with fact number 18, at least with gens 1-3 but also 5. Gen 1's starter theme was grim scientific experimentation; the Bulbasaur line being an abomination combination of a plant and animal (which is why its plant traits are the least seamless of any grass starter), the Charmander line being a lizard genetically mutated into a dragon and the Squirtle line being turned into a freaking cyborg. This fits in with Kanto's whole dystopian theme with Team Rocket, living pollution Pokemon like Grimer and Koffing, The Pokemon Mansion, why so many Pokemon are classified as endangered, the unbalanced Pokedex and the ultimate legendary Mewtwo being a crime-funded super weapon. Gen 2's starter theme was purity; A stark contrast to Kanto's dystopian theme, the Johto region as a whole is cleaner and less corrupted and this is reflected in their starters being mono-type and having more natural designs. Gen 3's starter theme was habitats; The Hoenn region as a whole has a theme of harmony in the natural world and this is reflected by Hoenn despite being a small island having many different types of habitats and the plot to maintain that harmony by stopping Team Magma/Aqua. The Treecko line represents the rainforest, the Torchic line the volcano and Mudkip line the shore. Gen 5's stater theme was cultures but you were a bit off with which ones. The Snivy line has been stated MANY times to be based on FRENCH royalty, the Tepig line has a Chinese theme and of course the Oshawott line is Japanese inspired. It could also be said that Gen 7 continued Gen 6's RPG class theme with the Archer, Berserker/Barbarian and Bard
The last part of the explanation for the Kanto region is kinda iffy since Mewtwo was stated to be a baby Mew had, it was Mews offspring and not a experiment to make the perfect pokemon (unlike the movie or what LGP/LGE hints)
Other starter fact: players weren't able to nickname their pokémon 'Sobble' prior to the 8th generation. This is because s.o.b apparently stood for 'son of bitch'. I found this as one of the worst decisions ever made by game freak.
10:50 you forgot they also follow/based off of three empires with popularity in Japan. Oshowatt line being the Japanese empire The Snivy line being the French empire.(look at the promanient yellow symbols) I don't know why Japan was fascinated by that particular empire. Probably because the conquered Vietnam for a couple of years. The Tepig line being an assortment of Chinse dynasties. However that was still something didn't expect.
carnival probably because skeledirge is loosely based off the day of the dead kinda so he may be a mariachi and meowscarada is a magician but also masquerade
Interestingly, I would like to see a starter trio with two opposing type circles. Rock - Fighting - Flying + Fire - Water - Grass However, the Rock-type complicates things a lot.
10:33 actually I believe that it was mentioned by the staff that all the gen 1 starters were based off of terrarium pets. The genetic and dinosaur themes are a coincidence.

And it would give something for the rivals to do, and give a bit of surprise. The first time the "Weak" rival busted out a super effective move on their subtype, it'll be an eye opener.
I would love to see a typing variation for future game starters. The combination of grass , fire and water is good , but I wanted something new that would be very innovative
"Lillie's starter Pokemon was Alolan Ninetales" *proceeds to show Alolan Vulpix*
The theme in all the starters I found fascinating.
Also, the guy you mentioned that made the design for the pokemon designed a lot of pokemon I like. I thought the Oshawott and Tynamo lines were so cool.
6:26 YES! SWAMPERT!!
The Greninja fact reminded me that there is a Pokémon with 4 abilities, Basculin. Red Stripe Basculin gets Reckless, Adaptability, and Mold Breaker, meanwhile Blue Striped Basculin switches Reckless for Rock Head, giving 4 in total since they’re the same Pokémon.
Rockruff too :)
Keen Eye and Vital Spirit as normal abilities, hidden Steadfast and event only Own Tempo
@@obek4959 Not anymore, thanks to the Isle of Armor DLC. Raids with the yellow background are always Own Tempo Rockruff, which can only evolve into Dusk Form.
Heres a fact :
The kalos Starters final forms are the two triangles being Grass - Water - Fire And Fightin - Dark - Pychic
Chesnaut = Grass/Fighting
Greninja = Water/Dark
Delphox = Fire/Pychic
NOTE:
Idk if anyone already knew this but I thought it was pretty cool
Kalos
Everyone knew this.....
@@reptilesceptile1035 Like I said Idk if people already knew this I just thought it was cool
I'm thinking that the beta Cyndaquil from Gold and Silver Would've Been Grass, As the Spikes on its back Look like Thorns.
9:19 Kinda like the rest of Alola
Another fact: beta cyndaquil has the same colour as shiny quilava in the coliseum
Speaking of Pokemon manga.
I like that almost every main character expect for three characters had a pokemon that is not a starter as they first pokemon.
The theme of the Alolan starters imo probably fall more in line as rpg roles part two rather than circus, with Incineroar being a berserker, Decidueye an archer, and Primarina a cleric/bard
I mean the whole Fighting, Psychic, Dark thing did happen in X and Y.
Fire Psychic
Grass Fighting
Water Dark
I will forever thank Yusuke Ohmura for designing my favorite Pokémon, Greninja.
fighting dark psychic is also the secondary types of the kalos starters
greninja - water/dark
chestnaught - grass/fighting
delphox - fire/psychic
also if ghost type was super effective against fairy:
decidueye - grass/ghost
primarina - water/fairy
incineroar - fire/dark
13:09 "Honestly, I'm all for gender differences"
Just wait til that gets taken out of context. My bet is on Twitter.
it would be cool, if in a future generation, they would have more obvious differences in starters. for example: Imagine if a female Wartortle didn't evolve into Blastoise, but into a faster more special attack orientated fighter, or if Male Primarina had a drastically different form and typing. So Primarina (m) could be Water/dark, or Water/Fighting.
"have you ever thought that oshawott and piplup looked similar?"
chespin: am i a joke to you?
But the guy who gave stats and abilities to Piplup and Oshawatt was probably not good
:(
11:06 Reminds we of the last time I heard about themes people thought that gen 8 starters where going to be sports theme
Fact : Infernape is the best starter of all time
I found you
Hii
I do love my some Infernape, that's for sure. Going to be my starter for the gen4 remakes, no questions asked!
As someone who never played the Gen 4 games, I can’t agree or disagree, but that sounds highly opinionated.
1:05 I'm Spanish, and the fact that you just happened to focus on that language killed me
5:40 that is cursed
Fairy-Steel-Fighting also works and in my opinion, are the most intriguing starter types
When he said swampert had 535 stat total, I was laughing because infernape has 534 stat total
Pokemon fact: When I first evolved Chespin I was immediately reminded of Bin Laden
Awww, if only the Latias and Blaziken hybrid that was originally Blaziken’s beta form could be a thing.
t h e r e a l m e g a e v o l u t I o n
@@A_Person177 true that
According to beta information, Cydnaquil was orginally planned to be a steel type.
This is explains why "Metal Claw" seemed weird that only scizor got it, As it has pincers NOT claws, crabhammer existed, metal pincer move would have been easy to do.
I think it might have been planned for the steel type version of cyndaquil, something that has claws but the move was thrown onto scizor as it was already complete.
I remember the Gen 2 and Gen 1 starters' similarities because of Pokemon Challenge and him bashing on Typhlosion lol
“Honestly I am all for gender differences” that can easily be taken out of context
I'm so ready for the new Pokemon games I feel empty without catching Pokemons
You know it is a good day when the aura guardian uploads.
Greninja was also the first Pokémon to get two Holowears in Pokémon Unite, and is only one of three to have more than one (the others being Pikachu and Snorlax). Charizard hasn't even gotten one yet, so it seems like they are favouring Greninja
Most of the prontagonists from Pokémon Adventures choose the "Tank" starters (As in, their best attribute when fully evolved is their HP). The exceptions are Gold, who uses a Cyndaquil (a "speed-type", and the Johto Tank, Croconaw, belonging to Silver instead) and Blake, who has the more balanced Samurott.
> the Johto Tank, Croconaw
Meganium sitting in a corner crying.
wait ,who's the tank of gen 7? Primarina?
Hey, TheAuraGuardian! There’s also another alternative trio of the classic
water/fire/grass starter typings. That type trio would be fighting/steel/fairy. An interesting set for sure.
Fighting doesn't resist Steel though.
Fighting doesn’t resist steel, so that doesn’t work. All of them also need to be resistant to the type they’re strong against, which is why water-fire-grass works so well.
I love how PokéTubers always promote each other's videos and channels.
Blastoise also joined the rank of Ubers in Generation 8 in a form of Mega Blastoise due to his access to Shell Smash.
Great video, also, I completely forgot about the mudkip memes lmao the good ol days
Infernape made into two top 6 in Vgc so it can be argued being great doubles Pokemon too.
(Both were rain team btw. Yeah Infernape is awesome)
I wish it was in gen 8 :(
But i think because of incineroar it's usage would probably be close to Entei's usage.
What I find strange is that, as of now, Siebold is the only water-type specialist that’s an Elite Four member, and there’s still no Elite Four members that specialize in grass. Grass is one of the most basic types, so I’m very surprised there isn’t an Elite Four member that specializes in that.
You were way off with fact number 18, at least with gens 1-3 but also 5.
Gen 1's starter theme was grim scientific experimentation; the Bulbasaur line being an abomination combination of a plant and animal (which is why its plant traits are the least seamless of any grass starter), the Charmander line being a lizard genetically mutated into a dragon and the Squirtle line being turned into a freaking cyborg. This fits in with Kanto's whole dystopian theme with Team Rocket, living pollution Pokemon like Grimer and Koffing, The Pokemon Mansion, why so many Pokemon are classified as endangered, the unbalanced Pokedex and the ultimate legendary Mewtwo being a crime-funded super weapon.
Gen 2's starter theme was purity; A stark contrast to Kanto's dystopian theme, the Johto region as a whole is cleaner and less corrupted and this is reflected in their starters being mono-type and having more natural designs.
Gen 3's starter theme was habitats; The Hoenn region as a whole has a theme of harmony in the natural world and this is reflected by Hoenn despite being a small island having many different types of habitats and the plot to maintain that harmony by stopping Team Magma/Aqua. The Treecko line represents the rainforest, the Torchic line the volcano and Mudkip line the shore.
Gen 5's stater theme was cultures but you were a bit off with which ones. The Snivy line has been stated MANY times to be based on FRENCH royalty, the Tepig line has a Chinese theme and of course the Oshawott line is Japanese inspired.
It could also be said that Gen 7 continued Gen 6's RPG class theme with the Archer, Berserker/Barbarian and Bard
The last part of the explanation for the Kanto region is kinda iffy since Mewtwo was stated to be a baby Mew had, it was Mews offspring and not a experiment to make the perfect pokemon (unlike the movie or what LGP/LGE hints)
Looks like Gen 9 starters have a theme of performers. The singer, the magician, and the dancer.
Fact 21: Both Torracat and Raboot have a base Stat total of 420 and have the ability Blaze. Nice. 👌
Mya favorite part of the video was hearing the different themes each trio follows!
Other starter fact: players weren't able to nickname their pokémon 'Sobble' prior to the 8th generation. This is because s.o.b apparently stood for 'son of bitch'. I found this as one of the worst decisions ever made by game freak.
I held my breath until the first fact wasn't "Bulbasaur... is green."
10:22
Psychic Bug and Poison would work too I think
And it's technically cannon to because in poipole's ultra pokedex it is said that it was used as a started in it's world
Bug works against Psychic which works against poison, but poison doesn't work against bug
@@Chicxy_Madness poison works against bug since gen 1 dude, that's why parasect is 4X weak against poison lmao
@@DoubleDash21 it doesn't anymore then, if you try now you'll see it resist
Captions taught me that Squirtle is the most used candle starter.
10:50 you forgot they also follow/based off of three empires with popularity in Japan.
Oshowatt line being the Japanese empire
The Snivy line being the French empire.(look at the promanient yellow symbols) I don't know why Japan was fascinated by that particular empire. Probably because the conquered Vietnam for a couple of years.
The Tepig line being an assortment of Chinse dynasties.
However that was still something didn't expect.
SV’s starter theme is probably also entertainment. Quaquaval being a Carnival Dancer, Skeledirge an instrument and Meowscarada a court jester.
carnival probably because skeledirge is loosely based off the day of the dead kinda so he may be a mariachi and meowscarada is a magician but also masquerade
I like how the first 3 facts are just bullying bulbasaur
The thing about starter themes was so cool!! I never knew that!!!
Intelion: is based off a spy even has a gun gigamax
Him: eh wish things wore cooler
Me: the-
GIGANTAMAX, NOT GIGAMAX! AND INTELEON IS SPELLED WITH 2 E'S, NOT 2 I'S!
Interestingly, I would like to see a starter trio with two opposing type circles.
Rock - Fighting - Flying + Fire - Water - Grass
However, the Rock-type complicates things a lot.
Kalos?
I don’t recall Lillie evolving her ninetales but good video anyways
LILLIE HAS VULPIX, NOT F*CKING NINETALES!
10:33 actually I believe that it was mentioned by the staff that all the gen 1 starters were based off of terrarium pets. The genetic and dinosaur themes are a coincidence.
