    Today let's take a look at the Dark Pokémon Iceberg!! By this point most people know that Pokémon isn't exactly as cute and kid-friendly as it may look on the surface, so today let's take a look at all of the spooky, weird, strange, creepy and dark aspects of Pokémon! From creepy Pokédex entries, to strange in-game hauntings, to eerie fan theories, to real life incidents and myths. Pokémon is a huge franchise filled with plenty of frights (and drama) so let's get stuck into the Dark Pokémon Iceberg... part one!!
    Here are the three icebergs I used for my iceberg!!

    The fascinating thing about the Porygon episode situation is it wasn't just pokemon that had production changes; that incident pretty much changed the way all anime got made; those kinds of strobing effects didn't just disappear from pokemon, they disappeared from the whole medium of anime.

My peers from back then actually still think Lavender town will hurt them, and to be really honest, I don't care cuz they bullied me a heck ton after the fact.
      In short, for me it was the bullying that was traumatic bc of the rumor and me enjoying creepypasta, and then the slenderman incident happened, and they started telling teachers they were afraid of me because I enjoyed fake internet stories.
      The amount of times I had my bag checked for literally no reason, it's 100% worth it for me knowing they still believe that lavender town was ever real.
      However in circumstances like you mentioned, I can see why it can be traumatic for the person who had them play it and they just come at you with that, from the sound of it they were real young and I cannot imagine the level of hurt that must've been felt when they said that :((

Just like Ash and Pikachu work together, you need to work together to do good things and help each other." They weren't cool with us stealing Pokemon cards from each other because "Stealing is sinful and stealing Pokemon is bad."

None of them cared to learn what Pokemon was actually about, they just knew it included “evolution” and excited kids enough to get them distracted. But the speakeasy was a beacon in a dark time! One of the teachers actually really liked Pokémon and would let us play in their classroom. We had a system of lookouts in case any of the older teachers came sniffing around (which they often were? for some reason?), and could clear a table of Pokémon cards in less than 3 seconds.

    The Lavender Town music does have headache-inducing effects, but for rather tame reasons: The music is harsh and the gameboy speaker is extremely sharp. If you happen to be sensitive to noise, or are neurodivergent, it can be unpleasant. The Lavender Town music is mush harsher and louder than most gameboy music, so people with audio processing issues don't handle it well. But just turning the game boy volume down alleviates it. This is all rather tame, and is similar to how VR headsets give some people motion sickness.

    Oh! There’s actually a fun historical reason why sword and shield’s fossils are abominations. Apparently back in the early days of paleontology it was common to mishmash fossils from different species and there were a lot of impressive looking (but overall incorrect) fossils that were assembled for display. It’s obviously not accurate to modern day paleontology, but a mostly fun reference. Side note, Arctozolt is top-tier and I luv him

      This is also why Arctovish’s jaw is on the top of its skull; the Dunkleosteus that it’s based on has a hole near the top of its skull, which could be misconstrued as a “mouth.” The skull could have been rotated improperly for this reason.

    I think it's important to note that in Arceus, the boy isn't being held hostage by the Driftloon, it's a misunderstanding and the Driftloon is their partner Pokémon. The same kid can be seen at night indoors playing with the Pokémon. The adults of Legends of Arceus are terrified of all Pokémon, due to the later being mostly seen as wild animals - Arceus is actually explaining where the original concepts of these later dex entries come from, while implying many dex entries are embellishments of fearful humans who don't fully understand the Pokémon they are writing about.

      @RuinedSilver Před 2 lety +310

      To add onto this, a good example is dusclop's entry- in diamond and pearl it's "Its body is hollow. It is said that those who look into its body are sucked into the void " but in Arceus it's "There are rumors that peeking inside its bandage-wrapped body will cause one to get pulled in through the gaps between the bandages, never to return. I've been too scared to verify. "
      It's Laventon recording a local rumor (He even directly states it IS a rumor) but later professors/academics just... cut that part out and treated it like a fact.

    The really dark thing about the Strange House is that... Darkrai _isn't malicious._ It looks spooky and its powers are dangerous, but its ability, Bad Dreams, which causes the "trapped in a nightmare" thing is an involuntary defence mechanism that it can't control. Darkrai seemingly sequesters itself on Newmoon Island, right next to Cresselia's home on Fullmoon Island, just to keep its power in check.

    Here is my "shiny before the internet" story.
    I was playing Emerald version (I think) and I was going through a cave. I had to break a rock to get to the other side of the cave and when I did, a shiny Geodude popped out. Neither I nor my siblings knew about shinies so I was like, "Is that a gold Geodude?!?!" and proceeded to try and get its life down without killing it so I could catch it. well, I did that, but when I went into my backpack to get a Pokeball, I was all out. I had no Pokeballs at all. Small me was devastated. I didn't know what to do so I kept the Gameboy on (plugged in under my pillow) for the next two days trying to figure something out. Eventually, I turned the console off without saving thinking I could run into it again if I did the same thing I did last time. needless to say, that didn't happen. I spend sooooo long in that cave trying to find the gold geodude but I never did. the worst part is that when I told my siblings about it they didn't believe me and said I made it up. (I didn't think to show them for the TWO DAYS it was sitting under my pillow. ya know, like an idiot.) and to this day I still have not found my golden geodude.

So it would make sense different regions at different times would have different entries for Pokemon depending on region. We see in PLA that there are pokemon who are considered more harsh or deadly in future games but in PLA have entries about how they like people etc. So maybe Hypno's in Alola weren't child thieves like they were in other regions.

    God I remember finding a shiny before I really knew anything about the internet.
    In my first Pokémon game, Pokémon Pearl, I spent a ridiculous amount of time fishing on Route 218, and what’s worse was I caught almost every Pokémon I came across. It eventually paid off because I randomly encountered a shiny Magikarp.
    I wasn’t 100% sure about what exactly a shiny was because I’d only ever seen a couple before - those being the Red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage (my older brother had HeartGold) and a shiny Buizel my younger brother had caught earlier that year… which just so happened to also be gold.
    I ended up arguing with my brothers over whether it would evolve into a red Gyarados or a gold Gyarados, which honestly was kinda fun. A gold Gyarados would’ve been pretty cool!
    When I did eventually evolve it and it turned out to be red, me, being incredibly creative with names, decided to nickname it “REDGYARADOS”

    The thing about Raichu's ability to "incapacitate an Indian elephant", is that animals apparently existed alongside Pokémon on the early gens, but that slowly phased out. Legends Arceus bringing this back this by replacing it with Copperajah, a Pokémon that's based on an Asian Elephant with an Indian motif is actually kind of clever.
    However that does bring up some disturbing implications: mainly the fact that Copperajah is the main Pokémon used by the antagonist of Sword and Shield, games set in Galar, a region directly based off England. And if you know anything about England's relationship with India throught history, suddenly Galar's most popular dish being curry becomes a little unsettling.

    • @regentofnothing
      @regentofnothing Před 2 lety +266

      There's more to that actually. Just look at the character in SwSh, the main antagonist Chairman Rose and his family (Brother and niece both encountered in the DLC), the champion Leon and his brother who is also your rival you immediately notice that they have darker skin and they look pretty obviously of Indian origin to some extent at least. Chairman Rose even have a Copperajah as his final pokemon and as the pokemon that can Gigantamax in his team. Also there is the fact that in the french translation of Legend Arceus, the professor sometimes speaks English and is depicted as an Englishman despite having a bit of a darker skin tone than expected for an Englishman, he also mention the Copperajah of his homeland wich as Izzy said, may not be Galar but a region based on India. The professor of this game has also been theorized to be the ancestor of Leon and his brother.
      All of this leads me to believe that :
      -A region based on India exist and os likely going to be the region for the next generation and if not we're going to see it at some point
      -Brittish colonialism exist in the Pokemon universe, meaning that region have actual government wich we never really see in any of the pokemon games

Also I'm like 90% sure the reason Surge mentions fighting in a war was that he was either supposed to be American or based on American stereotypes (look at any other american character from anime and such and you'll see what I mean). Kinda neat how the 1st gen seemed to still take place in our world, though

    • @MmMm-sf7pe
      @MmMm-sf7pe Před 2 lety +95

      Oh yes, he's definitely supposed to be American, I'm pretty sure he's called "the Electric American" in Red/Blue.
      I think when they made Red / Blue they were thinking of it as "the normal world, except there's pocket monsters." And not until later games did they put in more separation.

      In the first gen they hadn't really ironed out the world building of the setting yet, so references to real life animals and events were pretty rampant. I suspect that Lt. Surge was meant to represent a Vietnam war veteran.

    There’s actually another weird Hypno & children thing in Firered/Leafgreen.
    As a part of the game addons, there’s a small event where a child is lost on one of the islands. You can then go into a forest to find her, where a Hypno then attacks you both and you can either capture or defeat it. Always found it… very off with the rest of the game.

      To be fair, getting attacked by Pokémon is an established part of the setting, and wild Hypno can be encountered in the forest where the child is attacked.
      On the other hand, definitely weird to have the humanoid antisemitic hypnotist creature trap a small child in the woods and attack the person who came to rescue her. Maybe Jinx isn’t the only Pokémon that should’ve been censored

    The best part of the Galar fossils is that they reference early paleontology and how people kept putting together fossils that didn't fit together. Very early interpretations of iguanodon had it's iconic thumb spike on it's nose, for example. It's such a cool detail.

    23:15 - tipping the man doesn't affect whether you see the hex maniac ghost or not. I distinctly remember tipping him because I felt bad for him and I saw the hex maniac ghost afterwards anyway.

    Honestly, I'm fine with multi-part videos as long as you do them sequentially. It drives me nuts when someone posts part 1 of something, then does 5 other videos, THEN does part 2. If they're in order though, I'm always down with multi-part stuff.

      I'm fine either way as long as they do part 2 within a reasonable amount of time. Taking years to do part 2 or not doing it at all is a problem with some CZcamsrs.

    The panic over seizures was one of the first "Concerned Parents" controversies I remember and it's one of the reasons I didn't really get into it as a kid. That and the dubious idea that it replaced Animaniacs on the KidsWB lineup, which is probably not true but I carried that grudge for *years* all the same.

      Pokemon also had the satanic panic with it too. Kids were forced to cut up Pokemon cards because parents thought the had demons in them!

      I vaguely recall:
      - The massive war against Dungeons & Dragons that was waged and lost with D&D still going strong.
      - The "video games are making kids violent" parental mob from the Parliament that wanted to ban ALL "kids" games they felt were inappropriate (no joke).
      - The churches that condemned Harry Potter as Satanism.
      However, NOTHING is scarier than hearing a Furby yell out at you from the darkness while you lie in your bed.
      Especially if you don't own a furby....😉

    Great video! Always appreciate your thoughtful deep-dives. Would love to know more about your makeup looks and history with makeup and if you have any makeup-related deep dives planned, as there's so much drama and weirdness in the "makeup community." (is there licensed Garfield makeup?) Love your look in this one!

    Small correction! The canonical name of the rival for Pokemon red and blue isn’t Gary. As shown by his appearance in the Gen 7 games, his name is Blue. “Blue’s Raticate” is also the more commonly accepted name of the theory.

      *Blue internationally.
      His name is green in japan, and likewise - the cut female protagonist was named blue in japan and changed to green in the international releases of the let's go - which added her back into canon.

    I remember refusing to watch Pokemon's first season for the only reason of Hypno (possibly) appearing
    Like, the channel that Pokemon aired on was the default when booting up the TV, so I'd simply wait until someone else did
    Later on I found out Hypnos don't actually kidnap children bc they're the p word, but because they feed off of dreams and children's are way "tastier" because of their imagination and stuff
    I felt dumb when I figured out I spent years scared of turning on the TV out of a weird ass theory lmao

    I was told about the Lavender Town music myth on the primary school yard and pretty much believed it too. Sometimes, when we were playing outside, one of my friends would open the music on his phone and play it and we would just run away from him or scream over the music so we couldn't hear it.
    You're definitely not alone.

    I actually have a phobia of the lavender town theme. Even though im an adult now, hearing any form of the song will give me chills and a really bad feeling, like something is going to happen to me or someone I love
    It probably came from the internet having so many horror stories about it, but it worked. I'm completely traumatised by it
