  • After talking about Pokémon that have confusing types (although I understand some of the choices weren't the best) I've decided to move onto Pokémon moves with confusing types.

    Actually, U-Turn is a bug type move because its Japanese name is a pun that's lost in translation. The meaning of the word "tombogaeri" is indeed "round-trip" and is used for planes. However, the word is made up as a combination of the words "tombo" (dragonfly) and "kaeri" (return). So while the word means "round-trip", the literal meaning is "return of the dragonfly".
    Twister is the same. The Japanese word for tornado is "tatsumaki". However, "tatsumaki" can also work as a pun since it combines the words "tatsu" (traditional word for dragon) and "maki" (wrap). So "tatsumaki" becomes "dragon wrap".

    In China and Japan, tornados(twisters) are literally called "Dragon Sweep Wind(竜巻/龙卷风)", since Japanese and Chinese legends say that tornados are brought by twisting dragons
    So I guess Twister being a dragon type kinda makes sense ._.

    Well, the biggest reason in my eyes as to why "Rock Climb" is Normal, is mostly because it's an activity/sport any human can do. Sure, it's got Rock in the name, but it felt like an exception to the rule.
    Also, they could fix the name Dragon Ascent to "Dragon's Ascent" to make it grammatically fitting to what it really does.

    Twister makes a LiTTLE sense because it was believed that tornadoes and other disasterous forms of weather were caused by the appearance of Dragons, whom possessed godlike powers that rended the world around and destroyed everything in its path just by traversing.
    ...Or something along those lines. I kinda recall hearing something like that once.
    Also Mat Block, "Tatamigaeshi", is a famous Ninjutsu technique to block projectiles by quickly flipping up a Tatami Mat, which you clearly show in your visual of a ninja flipping a mat to block shuriken. Fighting makes quite a bit of sense in that respect.

    For the move Twister, its Japanese name can be translated to 竜巻(Tatsumaki) which is a tornado. It might sound like a flying type move, but the 竜 in Tatsumaki is actually meant dragon in Japanese and Chinese. Tornado in East Mythology was considered as the wind caused by the dragon.

    @OrionoftheStar Před 8 lety +27

    Aside from the states of matter, having Palkia of the creation trio as Water makes sense. Many creation myths describe the primordial chaos of pre-existence as an endless sea of water. Until I learned the states of matter thing was the reason for their types, I was always more confused by Dialga being Steel.
    The kana for U-turn includes the characters for "dragonfly" in it, and is learned by both Yanma and Yanmega by level up. The Japanese absolutely love that sort of play on words, which is probably what got it into the Bug type.
    I'll just quote Bulbapedia on this: "The Japanese name of this move literally means "to paint a dragon and dot its eyes" and serves as a metaphor for the finishing touch in a piece of work that give it "the spark of life". The idiom originated from a legend where Zhang Sengyou, a Chinese painter, completes the dragons on a mural by dotting their eyes and thus literally bringing them to life; they spring out of the temple wall and fly off. The completed dragons immediately ascended to the heavens after the work was done."
    Context is more important than literal meaning in the Japanese language, so I'd say that the reason it isn't Dragon-type is probably because there's more emphasis on the sense of completion leading to flight, rather than the simpler fact that it's a dragon flying.
    Twister has the kana "tatsu" in it, which is one of several words for "dragon" in Japanese. Also, dragons in eastern mythology were known for their ability to control the weather.
    Head Smash? Uh... I got nothin'.
    Spikes... er... I'll get back to you one that (never).
    Spike Cannon: Overall, attacks with normal body parts that don't have immediate elemental implications (like wings, or cheating by biting) tend to lean towards Normal.
    Mat Flip refers to a known ninja trick of flipping up a tatami mat to block an incoming attack (although I'm not sure if that means RL shinobi, or movie shinobi...). Dark-type moves are typically about cheating, deception, dirty tricks, or outright cruelty (barely anything uses actual darkness); Mat Flip is fair, just unorthodox.
    Nothing on Wide Guard.
    Razor Wind is another instance of context being important. "Kamaitachi" literally translates to "sickle weasel", a mythological creature that would fly around on tiny tornadoes and cut people (for whatever reason, they made it into a move instead of a Pokemon). The Normal typing comes from the fact that it isn't the wind itself hurting you, but what's in it (not a literal wind weasel, but probably crap the wind picked up).
    Don't see the issue with Sweet Scent. A lot of things that aren't flowers smell nice. And smelling good is a pretty plain idea, and Normal type includes a lot of pretty plain stuff.
    As for Mega Punch... there's no skill behind it, like Fighting-type is supposed to have. It's just them hitting someone really hard. It not being Fighting makes sense.
    Don't really get Feint. Feint Attack being Dark makes sense, but it I'm not seeing the reason behind Feint being Normal.
    The whole set of Normal-type moves following that make sense (Comet Punch is the only one which doesn't initially appear to, but it's like Mega Punch--no skill, just flailing the arms around and trying to hit something. Sweet name, though).
    Ghosts in Japanese mythology tend to lick things a lot (I know, it's weird). There's also a Filipino ghost called a dila that will lick humans to death that Haunter is based on--and as Haunter was one of the only three original Ghost-types...
    Moonlight and Morning Sun as Normal make _some_ sense. Dark doesn't really have much to do with night or darkness--even Night Slash is actually named "Crossroad Killing" in Japanese. Although the light itself does come into play, Moonlight appeared to be as more a matter of the time. A number of nocturnal Pokemon have it, and I bet if a werewolf Pokemon existed he'd get it too (and unless they add more to the basic "werewolf" concept, a werewolf would probably be normal type). Well... if we didn't have the Fairy-Type, that is. He'd be a pretty cruel Fairy-type, but it, Ghost, and Psychic are pretty much the "magic" types now. There's already a move for directly drawing power from the sun--Synthesis, so I'd say that Morning Sun is more about just that--the morning, rising to meet the day, rather than just benefiting from the light. The morning just doesn't have the mystic connotations that the night does.
    Yeah, that one's a bit weak of an excuse, but I really don't see much wrong with these two.
    Sorry if that came off as offensive or snotty.

    • @jacobquimby8258

      I'd like to comment on your take on Feint. To feint means to make a deceptive or distracting movement, typically during a fight. Though this typically sounds like a dark thing, it is like you mentioned with Mega Punch and Comet Punch. There is no skill needed to make somebody think you are going to dodge left when you are really going to pull back and dodge right. Feinting is a common thing when in combat, thus making it seem "Normal".

    Hey, you know what would be cool? If Magikarp learned it to become a Gyarados. Because, you know, the whole back story of a carp ascending a waterfall to become a dragon. Because Gyarados is a dra... oh... Well Mega-Gyarados is part drag... WHAT?!

      It is believed that your body's ability to heal rests in your brain. In rest, the Pokemon uses it's Psychic powers to enhance it's healing potential.
      Agility is where the user relaxes (again, something to do with the mind) to make itself more faster and lighter. AKA using Psychic powers to unlock the upper limit of speed.

    Twister: It's kind of weird because in Chinese, the natural phenomenon "Twister" is called
    "Dragon wind". It may be similar in Japanese, since some Japanese words does come from Chinese.
    Dragon Ascent: It's the signature move of the ruler of the sky, that's why it's flying
    The bone moves are ground because they are the signature move of Marowak, although if Marowak was originally fire ghost type, would that have changed the bone moves types?
    Morning Sun is normal because.... I don't get it. Btw, if it's typing is changed, it wouldn't be fire type, it would be steel type!
    Lick is ghost because ghosts make people uncomfortable, just like licking someone does?
    Bite and crunch are dark because it's unethical to bite someone.
    The spike moves have different types because they are different type of spikes. Spike is ground because it hurt everyone on the ground, spiky shield is grass because it's plant spike. Spike Cannon is normal because it's standard spike.
    Signal beam is quite weird, seems like GF mixed up insect signals and electrical signals.
    Why is Growth normal?
    Why is flash cannon steel?
    Apparently, attacking with a volcanic eruption is fire type, but attack with thermal heat is ground?

    Lick being a ghost type actually makes sense if you look at Japanese mythology. I have heard about a Japanese creature coming into houses and licking people's feet. There might be more, but I know about that one.

      And it’s a rainbow Mew. I don’t know how it’s possible, but I think it’s as rare as a wild mega Pokémon and/or a Umbreon with red stripes (normally with yellow, and shiny has blue.).

      Dark-type is called "Evil-type" in Japan. Biting is an underhanded and dirty tactic in a fight.

  • @amatthew7861
    @amatthew7861 Před 5 lety +2

    U-turn is a bug type move because its Japanese name "とんぼかえり" (tonbo kaeri) literally means "dragonfly return". I don't know what would be a good English equivalent of the name that fits within the limited letter spaces of attack moves so I can see why they changed the name

    fun fact: caltrops in feudal japan were actually made of water chestnuts, as when dried, they always land pointy side up, and since most ninjas were just farmers doing espionage, spying, and assassination, it made sense for them to use a readily available crop rather than expensive metal.
