"Every trio has a theme, the bird trio"
Me: Uno Dos Tres
🤔
That’s okay I said “are birds.”
@@randallraines6553articUNO
zapDOS
molTRES
there is also the theory about raikou entei and suicune has 4,5 and 6 points on their face. tho i dont think its all that accurate as entei has 5 on the yellow and silver parts, but an additional 6 if u count the red parts. then the regis all have 7 dots as eyes. rocky theory but a theory
tres dos un
I thought he was talking about music 💀😭
Sme here, bud. ur not alone
fr ☠️
Same , my favourite batlle music is from the regi trio.
Oras uses a really good one for all legends
Same
If he woulda added the music as he was talking it woulda sent this video to a whole other level
I think the bird trio was based on the concept of “YOOOO WHAT IF WE MADE ELEMENTAL BIRDS??” “BRO THAT WOULD BE SO SICK!”
I think they had alt designs for fearow and pidgeot since zapdos and moltres look exactly like fearow but set alight and if he stuck his beak in an outlet as for articuno they dipped pidgeot in blue paint and said “ice”
i still like the energy theme
fire: existence of energy
electricity: transferring of energy
ice: absence of energy
I guess tri attack had nothing to do with it.
So uhm-
There's also the 3 giant bird theory
Moltres is a Pheonix
Zapdos is a Thunderbird
Articuno is a Roc
The Roc one is a bit of a stretch since it's ties to ice are just that it comes from the north, but hey, makes some sense
Also the Spanish words for 1, 2, and 3 (ArcticUNO) (ZapDOS) (MolTRES) (correct me if I misspelled Any of the pokemon)
My guy did too much research for some and just kinda eyeballed some others
Enough to get the views and money
But sounds like he just smoked a pack in all of them
Especially gen 8
More like the later legends just got watered down so there wasn’t much to study.
@@infinitechill1264I feel like saying that the Gen 9 trio are based off of the Momotaro story and it’s 3 animals would atleast be somewhat longer
My man said the 'TAO TRIO' is Alchemy, ignoring the Regi's.
Buddy, theyre called the Tao trio for a reason, its because they're based off Taoism, which while similar on the surface, are completely different practices
The Tao Trio is based on Yin Yang, yes, but there is heavy alchemy theming in there as well. Look it up, it's actually really fascinating how deep the concepting and design for those 3 are.
@@RedJake33 I know about the Two Contraries yes. Did a lot of research. But I just find it annoying how he completely misses the mark on both sides. Just cut one of the other themes so you can give all the other ones proper explanations rather than half-assed ones that don't actually say the how or why, let alone go into the fact most legendaries have more than one theme to them (like with the Tao Trio).
He also technically got the Gen 3 Legendaries wrong. It's Bahamut and Kujata, who are presumed to be inspired by Leviathan and Behemoth yes, but are different species. Bahamut is a Giant Fish/Whale, Leviathan is a Sea Serpent/Dragon. Which would you say Kyogre is? Also would you say Rayquaza is a bird?
There's also no mention of the three doing battle, just that they'll serve as food for the true believers during the end times. My point was not that he was wrong, but that his research and analysis is shallow and flawed.
I'm a huge nerd for mythological creatures, so I am compelled to correct when people get inspirations wrong
Also my favorite pokemon is Kyurem so... yeah, personal vendetta.
Wasnt the Regis the Ice Age,Stone Age,and Iron Age, and later the Dark and Modern Ages?
@@CircuitReborn All Legendaries have multiple references. There's the overarching one, and then a design one.
For example, The Tao Trio are based on the concept !and path of Taoism, while the designs of Zekrom and Reshiram are inspired on the myth of the Two Contraries.
The Regi's are inspired by Alchemy and the Jewish Golem, aka the Primordial Man. Regigigas is the Primordial Golem (Adam) created by Arceus (God). It creates the other Regi's for companionship from the surrounding materials (Special Clay, Ice, and Magma, which are just more alchemical references) but they all end up failures in one way or another, before it then goes out and essentially reshapes the world by hand, even towing continents. Basically Regigigas is the first Alchemist, attempting to grow closer to its creator by following in their footsteps.
The Regis themselves don't exactly fit as technically their names don't actually describe their components, which I always thought was a bit dumb, but it's still a good theory.
The Legendary Birds are each individually designed after mythical birds from legend. The Phoenix, the Thunderbird, and 'The Harbringer of Winter' who's name I can't remember.
i think you would be interested in Carl Jung's the psychology of alchemy, for my art i wrote my personal study on the intertwining of how taoism informs carl jung's theories including alchemy, they are very different things though so I am agreeing with you just to be clear
I always love how creative the Pokémon gets the inspiration of the Legendaries. They really make them legendary
Til regional variants ruined that fact.
@@OrangeStarHighSchoolone set of regional legendaries ruins all other legendaries? Brain dead
@@OrangeStarHighSchool what's wrong with that
Remember it's human who name the Pokemon. So the regional variants doesn't need to related to the og
How did they ruin tho
@@OrangeStarHighSchool paradoxes is literally paradoxes (they come from different time BUT in different universe) and galar birds just look like og trio, but not reletad
@@ediakin4993 the paradox thing gets a pass because even though they're different times you're right they are ALTERNATIVE universes where things worked out differently.
That covers the lore implications if they were to animate that generation but for gameplay eh
We won't see them after gen 9 is over so what I said stands etched in stone.
The diamond and pearl revamping old neglected pokemon was as far as natural reach should have gone.
Tao trio is based on Yin Yang. Reshiram is Yang, the positive and active one. Zekrom is Yin, the negative and passive one. And Kyurem is Wuji, absence of both
They're call the Tao Trio cause they're based off Taoism, which is where the YinYang symbol, also known as the Taijitu, comes from.
And the meaning goes deeper from there, where the 3 dragons follow the path of Taoism, excluding the final step which would insinuate the 3 fusing back together would not recreate the Original Dragon, but instead a new, Divine Entity. Which Kyurem never got and instead got recycled for Necrozma, who did get their true divine form added.
Justice for Kyurem. My boy did not deserve this
No, Reshiram is Truth, Zekrom is Ideals, and Kyurem is the inbetween
@@superduperperryKyurem is emptiness
@@superduperperrybuddy you realize Pokémon can be based on more than one thing right? Them representing truth and ideals doesn’t mean they aren’t also yin and yang
@@marngao my bad
The Loyal Three are based on the Japanese folklore Momotaro AKA Peach Boy.
Is "based on" the right term, they obviously appear to be based on momotaro but it's a bait and switch where they are actually the antithesis of the characters in momotaro (thus evil peach ghost) and do become the representations of vanity be it strength, beauty or intelligence.
Is it weird I first heard the story of momotaro through yokai watch?
@@Underboy-jh6nr If you are not Japanese then learning about it through a show makes all the sense.
People who watched donbrothers
@@Underboy-jh6nryou're a weeb, so no.
Pretty sure that there is more to the Alola trio
Solgaleo in particular is based on the myth of a lion that consumed the sun. It captures the experience of consciousness It was never made of fire, but consumed it. its psychic/steel type because of consciousness (psychic) and is a symbol in alchemy of metal absorbing gold (steel)
Lol right? "Based on daytime." Brilliant analysis.
Best on alchemy is a better theme category than “day time”
@@CaptainJack67 i think he ran outta time to fit in this short
I also think that they're based on astronomy, of course--solgaleo and lunala representing the sun and moon is obvious of course, but it also recently occurred to me that the way necrozma absorbs light to try to restore its former glory is very reminiscent of a supergiant star turned black hole!
He goes into a lot more detail on all of these in his full video that is linked. He just had to take pieces to make it fit into a short.
The legendary birds also go by this theme:
Heat (Fire), the presence of energy.
Cold (Ice), the absence of energy.
Electricity, the transferring of energy.
That... And also the three elements of offensive magic. Fire, Frost and lightning.
Articuno: He's just making this all up. He has no idea why he's here.
@@GreenheartYT_06 a fellow man of culture I see
@@chaostheultimayt Indeed, good sir. I tip my hat to you. From one cultured fellow to another.
@@GreenheartYT_06pretentious popsicle
The Tao Trio are based on the idea Taoism, Yin and Yang.... the Legendaries from Alola are Alchemy.
You forgot wuji, kyurem is wuji
@riolu477 thank you, I could never remember the term Kyurem represented.
@@gilessaint-loup2426 its basically positive negative and void
@@gilessaint-loup2426 there's actually themes of Alchemy in the Tao Trio, it was just a subtheme and never fully utilized. Ultra Necrosma is basically the reused assets of the Tao Trio story, where in the end, they should all merge back into something known as "The Three Essentials" represented by a Three Headed Dragon.
I thought the first one was gonna be "Uno, Dos, Tres" lmao

Yggdrasil isn't the tree of life, it's the world tree
Tree of Life refers to many trees throughout mythology, including Yggdrasil.
Yggdrasil is almost the posterboy of the "Tree of Life" archetype.
@@SassaparillaNot to mention it holds the Nine Realms up through its branches, I believe. So it quite literally is a tree of life since if it ever died, everything would crumble with it.
The world tree is a tree of life and it connects all life on all realms
The last trio are also the three companions of Momotaro in the legend of Momotaro (a dog, a pheasant and a monkey). Momotaro is a peach boy and theres another poke that reflects that
Isn’t reshiram yin, zekrom yang, and Kyrum the absence of yin and yang (wuji)
Wuji, yes.
@@jasonbell8515 thx I forgot what it was called
Yes but he also explains how they come up with the typing
Yes
Maybe they didn't have a specific theme and could pull from multiple sources?
Genuinely feel bad that this generation won’t get things like pokemon 2000
I feel you. I wanna punch myself in the face just to cry about it 😭
Dude can Reshiram even draw a transmutation circle
What about the original regi trio?
@@JunkHERO99 no longer a Trio. It's also why the original three Kami are not here, or the base three Swords of Justice. Their entire group is larger than three.
@@SassaparillaI mean… the Creation Trio was included. I'd argue Arceus definitely fits in, and thus making it a quartet.
The bird trio is like heat energy lack of heat and transfer of energy
A better way to think of it would be exothermic (energy emitting) reactions, endothermic (energy capturing) reactions, and conductive (energy transferring) reactions.
“He’s lying~ he’s just saying things that make sense because they’re too confusing to think about. He has no idea why he’s here.”
@@Z0neXDthebest to be honest i got it from a pokemon fancomic where 2 of the birds are discussing why electricity is bundled with ice and fire and then the third is like he has no idea what he’s talking about
@@Dude-xb3xh and that’s exactly what I was quoting.
@@Z0neXDthebest” Ok, then what’s your theory then?! “
The lake guardians are mainly based on Imperial Regalia of Japan, a sword that represeds myght/will, a mirror that represent wisdom/knowledge and a jade talisman that represent ls compassion/emotion
The tao trio is also taoism (it's in the name) and the kalos trio is also the hindy holy trinity, Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver and Shiva the destroyer. I like this trios cuz they have 2 main inspirations
Nah, the Kalos trio is definitely based on germanic/norse mythology
@@hillhank3070 I said ALSO. Pokemon can have more than one inspiration. Also, their role in the pokemon world really doesn't mix with their norse counterparts, the eagle is just wise, it's not a destroyer, if anything it's more noble. The stags just stand there, they aren't really a symbol of fertility or life, and the dragon at the roots is in no way a preserver of life, if anything, the dragon is the destroyer, feeding on the roots, and if we take to acc lokis childer, the other norse inspo of zaigard (see, even in the norse inspo, zaigard has 2 inspiration sets) fenrir and jörmungandr are literally 2 of the most evil and destructive monsters that bring the end of the world, and hel is the ruler of the underworld and all 3 are children of the evil trickster God loki who killed the beloved God of nature and fertility....
Yeah physically they they fit, but in role, the norse inspo just doesn't fit.
Also zaigards 50% form looks like a naga, or Lord Shesha from hindu, as well as it's 100% form looking like hindu gods like vishnu (the preserver god) who has snakes around him.
Pokemon can have more than 1 inspiration.
😮so..
Tbskyen talked more about how the weather trios connection to the myth is surface level and not really confirmed by anything
The birbs are
Fire the presence of energy
Ice the absence of energy
Electricity the transference of energy
We all know what video you watched for that ur not special
You left out darkest day and Forces of nature trios 🥹
Technically the Forces of Nature has become a quartet since the introduction of Enamorus, just like the Regi became a 5+1
Thats because they are a bit obvious(atleast the forces of nature)
Which is earthquakes,tornados and thunderstorms
If you wanna include enamorus it is supernatural disasters
And the galar birds
@@kristilebym271the quartet as a whole also represents the four Chinese mythical beasts.
Darkest Day isn't a legit Trio.
It's the Legendary Heroes and their completely separate foe, Eternatus. This would be like saying Ogerpon, Pecharunt, and the Loyal Three should all just be combined into the "Momotaro Quintet".
You forgot about the Darkest Day Trio
he did not, rewatch the vid lil bro
@@Nah…IdGuestYes he did forget the Darkest Day Trio. He went from Gen 7 to Gen 9. How about you go and watch the video again. Little Bro
@@Nah…IdGuest He literally did forget them...they were not in the video, lol.
How about _you_ watch the video again, and tell us where he talks about them lil bro
It was not an accident
Technically, the Regis were a trio before gen 4?
The Leviathan connection is purely speculative and not stared by any official Nintendo representative.
Fun Fact: The munchlax line is based on the theme of a discord mod.
Nah, munchlax in just a chubby baby
💀
Almost all legendary trios have multiple origins, rhw buggest offender being the kalos tri, being honsestly closer to the hindu gods than the beast of yggdrasil.
The Kalos Trio are so thematically garbage for their region. They're an amalgamation of Norse, Hindu and Gaelic mythos. None of that is French in the slightest. Shit, Yveltal is likely named after a "quetzal" which is a bird from the Americas (not to be confused with quetzalcoatl, an Aztec God)
I don't really see how, they're so incredibly Norse lmao. Zyguarde even has a Fenrir and Jormugandr form lol
If you take a look at Vishnu, the hindu god that Zygarde is seemingly based off, you'll notice a serpent tail with five cobra heads coming from his back. Zygarde also seems to share a tail and these five “heads”, as it’s thought that the things behind it are actually faces. That’s right, the five faceless men theory is coming into play.
Although that’s about where the similarities end for Hindu gods outside of how Shiva, Brahma, and Vishnu work. (Which is very similarly to Yveltal, Xerneas, and Zygarde respectively.)
Late gen legendary: *"This bird is a reference to the apocalypse"*
Newer gen legendary: "it has a cool scarf"
My man jumped off the poketheory iceberg, and hit every wrong answer on the way down lol
legendgary birds are also based on energy i thought? articuno is cold, the absence of energy, moltres is fire, the presense of energy, and zapdos is electricity, the transfer of energy
You did not do anything just watched a fan comic do not act special
i want a biblically accurate lake trio
You can't have one because there's no such angel as thrones. That's something that's made up.
There are technically 4 named classes of angels in the bible. Archangels; of which there are 2, cherubim, seraphim, and demons/devils which are fallen angels. The 2 Archangels are Michael and satan.
There's reference to "principalities, powers, dominions, and rulers" and these are taken as classes of demons. In reality they are references to both earthly and demonic authorities.
The idea that the weather trio are based on the beasts of Jewish folklore is theory and a shaky one at that. Each of those beasts is describes to be very different to their supposed Pokémon counterparts which really just reduces the comparison to a fight between a beast of the land and a beast of the sea is broken up by the beat of the sky. That would also make the weather trio comprable to many other beast trios from legends and folklore.
If you hate religion or Jewish people just be honest. No need to go around it subtly. Your theory is shaky too
@@lushwa1554the weather trio have *nothing* in common with the mythology or description of Behemoth, Leviathan or Ziz. I get liking the theory but the comment wasn't at all disrespectful to the mythology and you're being ridiculous. Like the video saying that Ziz breaks up the clash between Behemoth and Leviathan is just flatout wrong, that's not the story I grew up with and I couldn't find any record of that ever being the story or anyone claiming it before this video. They also don't have a particular control over their domain like the weather trio does, and their appearance doesn't seem to be based on them at all
The trinity of land, sea and sky is THE most basic trinity in all mythology and some the easiest things to asign a myth to, the idea of the connection is fun to talk about but to imply it's a canon theme is just flatly wrong
Deep ... Deep ... Deep ... Deep .... Deep ... Deep ... Deep ... Not so deep ... Not deep at all ... 😶
It's a bit more deep when you know what they're actually based on.
The Loyal Three are based on what they appear to be in Pokemon: Heroes from a Folktale. Specifically, The Loyal Three are based on the three companions of Momotaro, in the story of the same name, "Momotaro". They have a lot of theming in Japanese culture, such as how they have a large focus on the number 8, a number of good fortune. But two 8s, as in 88, can be read as "yabai" in gorowase, which is japanese number wordplay and tied heavily to superstition. "Yabai" is a word meaning "terrible" and all four of the Loyal Three and Pecharunt have EXACTLY 88 Base HP as a nod to this. In fact, all of pecharunt's base stats are 88 excluding defense (a multiple of 8),is caught at level 88, and they learn all of their moves in intervals of 8 levels.
Notice how after X and Y it kinda got really simple like make it be cooler than that
Yes because the legendary we have gotten are simpler no gods really just really powerful pokemon.
But let's just face it, everyone is gonna call garitena the devil no matter what
I love Giratina because he’s clearly misunderstood, being chaos and antimatter… kind of like how the Biblical satan is actually a title and not a name…
I'd like Giratina more if he was actually evil and not "misunserstood" or "reformed". I despise what they did in that Shaymin movie.
@darkstarr984 Sorta. There's term Satan, and then there's the Prince of hell Satan, who is the embodiment of Wrath. (Note. This Satan and Lucfier are separate beings, same with beelzebub
@@AndersonMallonyMALLONY-EricCF
I headcanon that the more villainous/evil Giratina in PLA is a different specimen from the Movie/Platinum Giratina.
I make them more different by having the Movie/Platinum Giratina be a shiny and be slightly smaller(stuck in Altered Form) and the PLA Giratina covered in scars and able to change forms at will.
The PMD Icons are amazing, love seeing new pokemon in old styles it’s dope :)

Ain’t go lie, y’all had me in the first half
so like, what about Ho-oh?
Ho-oh is the rainbow after the storm
Uhh In various Japanese Anime. King is referred to as Oh. The King is Ho-Oh.
That birds hair is shaped like a crown. And it’s basically the 1st Pokémon ever in the series we saw
@@lushwa1554 I mean, he's most definitely the first Pokemon we saw. he was at the very end of the first episode, there was a whole battle sequence before Ash even woke up
@@lushwa1554 "Hou'ou" 鳳凰 is the Japanese term for the Chinese Fenghuang 鳳凰/凤凰, which is a phoenix. But yes in Japanese the "oh" in Ho-Oh, being the "-huang" in Fenghuang, is homophonous with "oh" 王 meaning king. The Chinese name for the Pokémon reflects this (鳳王/凤王 Fengwang)
Ho-Oh is the golden phoenix ornament on top of Kinkakuji temple in Kyoto. While Lugia can be thought of as the draconic sea god Ryuujin
In Chinese art, the phoenix and dragon are paired to represent the emperor
The ziz doesn't have much of a connection to behemoth and leviathan and is not destined to end their fight. The behemoth and leviathan are destined to kill each other in the conflict and than be prepared to become a feast for the rightous
Also raquayza is a space dragon not a bird that lives in the atmosphere. Leviathan is a sea dragon not a whale like creature and behemoth is a land dragon not whatever groudon is.
@lilchristuten7568 Rayquaza is said to "Have lived for hundreds of millions of years in the ozone layer".
Descriptions of leviathan paint him to be anything between a sea serpent and just a big fish but the modern Hebrew word for whale is leviatan. Leviathan is also depicted as a whale in many pop culture interpretations.
Behemoth has no real descriptions of appearance as in modern Hebrew Behemoth just means beast. Interpretation closer to modern ones depict it as something like a hippo

Job 41:1-34 KJV
[1] Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? Or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? [2] Canst thou put an hook into his nose? Or bore his jaw through with a thorn? [3] Will he make many supplications unto thee? Will he speak soft words unto thee? [4] Will he make a covenant with thee? Wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? [5] Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? [6] Shall the companions make a banquet of him? Shall they part him among the merchants? [7] Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? Or his head with fish spears? [8] Lay thine hand upon him, Remember the battle, do no more. [9] Behold, the hope of him is in vain: Shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? [10] None is so fierce that dare stir him up: Who then is able to stand before me? [11] Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. [12] I will not conceal his parts, Nor his power, nor his comely proportion. [13] Who can discover the face of his garment? Or who can come to him with his double bridle? [14] Who can open the doors of his face? His teeth are terrible round about. [15] His scales are his pride, Shut up together as with a close seal. [16] One is so near to another, That no air can come between them. [17] They are joined one to another, They stick together, that they cannot be sundered. [18] By his neesings a light doth shine, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. [19] Out of his mouth go burning lamps, And sparks of fire leap out. [20] Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, As out of a seething pot or caldron. [21] His breath kindleth coals, And a flame goeth out of his mouth. [22] In his neck remaineth strength, And sorrow is turned into joy before him. [23] The flakes of his flesh are joined together: They are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. [24] His heart is as firm as a stone; Yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. [25] When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: By reason of breakings they purify themselves. [26] The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: The spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. [27] He esteemeth iron as straw, And brass as rotten wood. [28] The arrow cannot make him flee: Slingstones are turned with him into stubble. [29] Darts are counted as stubble: He laugheth at the shaking of a spear. [30] Sharp stones are under him: He spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. [31] He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: He maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. [32] He maketh a path to shine after him; One would think the deep to be hoary. [33] Upon earth there is not his like, Who is made without fear. [34] He beholdeth all high things: He is a king over all the children of pride.
Job 40:15-24 KJV
[15] Behold now behemoth, Which I made with thee; He eateth grass as an ox. [16] Lo now, his strength is in his loins, And his force is in the navel of his belly. [17] He moveth his tail like a cedar: The sinews of his stones are wrapped together. [18] His bones are as strong pieces of brass; His bones are like bars of iron. [19] He is the chief of the ways of God: He that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. [20] Surely the mountains bring him forth food, Where all the beasts of the field play. [21] He lieth under the shady trees, In the covert of the reed, and fens. [22] The shady trees cover him with their shadow; The willows of the brook compass him about. [23] Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: He trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. [24] He taketh it with his eyes: His nose pierceth through snares.
These are the descriptions of behemoth and leviathan. Whales don't have scales and they clearly aren't protected against swords, spears, darts, and arrows by their skin. They also aren't semi-aquatic like the leviathan is. A whale also cannot raise itself up because it has neither legs nor feet to do so.
A hippopotamus doesn't have a tail like a cedar nor does it eat grass like an ox. The description of behemoth is one of an extremely large animal and a hippo does not fit that description at all.
It doesn't matter how other people depict leviathan or behemoth if they don't fit the descriptions then they aren't based upon leviathan or behemoth.

Did you have youtube delete my reply to you?
@@lilchristuten7568 no. It's still there for me
Yeah thats not what the tao trio represent...
In the words of resident origin deepdiver lockstin, well actually not his exact words, but things can have more than one inspiration and/or theme, he even mentions the alchemy it on his video about the tao trio.
The goliathe and leviathan inspiration theory is pretty surface level if it was in fact an inspiration
I thought the birds were a type of storm
ice storm
firestorm
thunderstorm
and Lugia is the master of storms that's why it's a psychic type with weather manipulation
Same that’s what I thought
Because it is, lugia has nothing to do with the ocean, on contrair it hides ther to not use his power because lugia cant control the storm he just brings it
Honestly i like that better than the energy one.
the last trio is based on the momotaro story
Really, can you explain it?
@@blackoutamvs6550 So, Momotaro, the titular protagonist, is a boy born from within a Peach. Pecharunt.
He goes on a journey and is accompanied by three talking animals. A dog, monkey, and pheasant. Loyal Three.
They go and defeat a band of Oni together. Ogerpon.
It's just that Kitakami believes this version of the story, when the truth has the protagonists and antagonists swapped.
They are also tied to superstition and common phrases, which fits them very well. Specifically, they are very related to numbers related to 8. They all have a Base HP of 88, and in japanese wordplay, 88 can be read as "Yabai" which means Terrible or Dangerous. With just 8 though, it can be read as Ba, which is being used as a play on "Fa" a word referring to Fortune. Japanese Folk Heroes are often associated with good fortune, and that's how the Loyal Three are treated initially. As Heroes of good Fortune. In reality though, there is that second 8, hinting that they are actually no good thieves in the guise of noble beings.
@@Sassaparillaoh I see, thank you
The theory was that the Johto beast were made out of the Kanto eeveelutions. They kinda had a nod to this - the Beasts' unreleased Gen 5 HAs match the Eevee trio's absorb abilities.
Galar:
You guys have Legendary Trios?
Tao Trio (Gen 5) are literally Tao Trio, the three principal symbols of Taoism:
Yin/Yang/Wuji
Yin: Black, Night, Feminine (is Zekrom female?!💀), Evil
Yang: White, Day, Male, Good
Wuji: Full emptiness
That's why Kyurem can be fullfiled by Yin (Zekrom) or Yang (Reshiram), cause it's empty, such as Wuji.
It doens't mean that Zekrom is evil, till cause if you check Yin Yang symbol, there's a white dot on Yin and a Black dot on Yang, that's cause there will always have some evil in good and bad on evil. One can't exist without the other.
Meanwhile, Wuji is a empty circle, witch may be fullfilled by good, or evil, white or black, which will be, just depends the game you choose 😅
If you liked the explanation, give a like!
Also, may someone explain the last one?
I know almost nothing about Paldea and i did't got the explanation at all...
@@gabrielleao8393 Ogerpon, The Loyal Three, and Pecharunt, are based on the story of Momotaro, with a twist, The heroes are the villains and vice versa.
In Momotaro, a boy born from a peach is accompanied by a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant, and goes on to defeat a band of Oni (translated as Ogre commonly).
That being said, they could also be based on Brawn Brain and Beauty, as their Pokedex entries emphasize this as what they gained by giving their will to Pecharunt. Brawn for Okidogi, Brain for Munkidori, and Beauty for Fezandipiti.
All their names are wordplay as well.
Other than clashing the the end of time,there is almost no correlation between the weather trio and behemoth leviathan and the other one
the regi set (originaly a trio) represents diffrent eras
regirock-the stone age
regice- the ice age
regidrago-the dark ages
registeel-the industrial revolution
regieleki-modern era
*Iron Age
I cant wait for a water type regi thats based off of the earliest age of life in the primordial soup
And ghost type that could just be extinction
@@jvbon646 oh teah I forgor
regigigas the gen z, nice
Actually. Unova's trio is Based more on T'ai chi. Zekrom represents Yin, Resshuram represents Yang, and Kerum represents Wu or nothingness. It's why he can fuse with the other two and why the main two are said to be associated with brothers who opposed eachother in the anime.
Well actually, they come from Taoism, as that is where the Taijitu really comes from.
Kyurem represents Wuji, the empty circle (or boundary) in which the duality of the Yin Yang would be. The Yin Yang we know only came to be during the Ming Period, it used to be far different in appearance. The entire Taijitu was a five part diagram, going from top to bottom Wuji, Yin and Yang, the Wuxing (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, in that order), the joining of Heaven and Earth (or the bagua in some cases), and finally Multiplicity itself.
This all being said, they also have a subtheme in Alchemy. This is actually where they get their types from, and why Kyurem gains new forms by "consuming" them.
Arent the loyal three based on part of a story? I forget the exact details, but there was a monkey, a dog, and a fezant
story of momotaro yeah.
You just made half of this up
Surprisingly, he didn't. Most of them are confirmed and only two of them are actually hard to confirm (UMA and Aura Trio), with the rest having very clear connections that are simply not outright stated. Most legendary groups have at least one sub-theme, and that's where Alchemy comes in for the Tao Trio.
oh my god ive been watching pokemon content again and this guys voice is pure nostalgia
I thought the 3 legendary birds were the presence of energy, the absence of energy, and the transfer of energy
The light trio also represent alchemy I think.
They’re not the “Thai” trio, they’re the Tao trio, and they’re based on Taoism, specifically the concept of Yin and Yang- NOT alchemy. Kinda feels like you made some stuff up so people would correct you in the comments to boost your engagement.
They actually are also tied to Alchemy, all the legendary pokemon have multiple themes. Congrats, you boosted engagement further by not just looking a bit deeper and finding that yourself...
Their types and the "truths and ideals" stuff, as well as their features, are all related to alchemy. It's boring as fuck to explain though, and really annoying to source, just know that it is a subtheme, Bulbapedia even mentions it in the trivia for the Tao Trio.
free field. it won't matter or bother a life of a single.
Which is why the requaza trio is my favourite I found this mythical animals as very interesting
Lockstin does great deep dives on these topics
Never let bro cook again 💀💀💀💀
The hightest ranked angle is seraphin not cerubin
How are you going to correct him while spelling half the words in your sentence wrong? You're right, Seraphim do rank above the Cherubs, but still.
He never said they weren't.
@@SerphStarWhat a nothing comment to just randomly insult someone over very minor mistypes. Bruh needs to go outside and learn what grass feels like.
The highest ranked angel is Michael the archangel.
Correction on the Lake Trip:
“They are based on the Imperial Regalia of Japan: the Yata no Kagami (wisdom), Yasakani no Magatama (benevolence), and Kusanagi (valor). Parts of their names come from fantasy creatures: pixies, sprites, and elves, respectively.”
They go from “the O C E A N” to “hehe pretty, smart, strong”
at first i thought themes like songs
Nah. Gen 5 legendaries aren't even about that
Actually, there's plenty of evidence to support it as a sub theme, as many legendaries have them in pokemon (Most recently, we have The Loyal Three, who are based on the story "Momotaro", but are also heavily tied to wordplay and superstitions as a secondary theme).
Definitely not their primary theme though, that's the actual Taoism.
The three birds driving wasn’t something I was expecting to see but I’m glad I did 💚
Lugia not being a water type will always bug me
Giritina will always be gravity in my eyes. It makes more sense than anti matter
Anti-matter makes sense for its destructive behavior and banishment to another dimension, but gravity fits perfectly with how the distortion world is depicted
@@garg4531 I mean gravity is just as destructive. And it fits in with time and space better
@@thezerohero9883 True
Isn't it confirmed Giratina is supposed to be anti-matter?
@RadiantAeon yes, but anti matter legitimately makes 0 sense when you look giritina as a whole, or where it's from, or it's relation to time and space (dialga and palkia). Gravity being a thing that warps, and can break, both space and time, as well as being one of the most destructive forces outside of anti matter just erasing things from existance. It just fits cleaner
Pokemon: "we put so much thought into these legendaries!!!"
Also Pokémon: "here's an ice cream cone."
It's a icicle that looks like ice cream y'all just don't recognize peak
That's what makes a legendary a legendary
Vanillite actually has mroe depth to it than people give it credit for
*wasn't it a fan design*
It's literally an icicle covered in snow.
The Paldea ones are also based on the dog, monkey and pheasant who accompanied Momotaros on his journey to Onigashima.
Fking love how quick the last ones were x)
Im pretty sure the birds are suppose to represent artícuno winter moltres spring and zapdos summer also the last trio are from momotaro and I always thought reshiram and zekrom were ying and Yang
Wouldn’t Zapdos be spring and Moltres be summer? Also then that would be harder to see cause who is fall? Interesting thought tho
@@cgodley13 I thought so too but apparently moltres represents spring cause he melts the snow away and is the rising sun while zapdos is summer showers. The fall thing I have no idea maybe lugia? Or who knows maybe Pokémon just hates fall
@@felipepira5314 I can see the idea now, maybe that’s why travel in a circle motion when trying to catch them
Reshiram and zekrom ARE yin and yang, kyurem is stillness, its what forms in the middle when the symbol spins, a void, a husk
The legendary birds are literally bird names, moltres is a phoenix, a firebird, theres also thunderbirds and icebirds, these just arent as popular
Wouldn't unova be the swords of justice?
No the swords of justice are a quartet
The bird trio ice= the absence of energy fire=full of energy electricity=the transfer of energy
And this is why I love Pokémon getting inspired by myths from every culture 💚
Who the fuck are the last ones
The Loyal Three, Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti. They reference the three animal companions of the titular protagonist of the folk story "Momotaro", a boy who was born in a peach.
The twist is that while the people of Kitakami (where the Teal mask DLC takes place) believe they are heroes of good fortune like in the original story they are a reference to, the Loyal Three are actually petty and cruel thieves who gave away their free will for their greed (which is where the Brawn, Brain, and Beauty comes in). Pecharunt is the one they serve, the "Momotaro" of Pokemon. In the story, Momotaro and his animal friends defeat a band of Oni, the Oni being represented by the innocent but framed Ogerpon in Pokemon.
They have another sub theme beyond the BBB, being superstition and wordplay.
Okidogi = Okie-Dokie
Munkidori = Hunky-dory
Fezandipiti = Serendipity
The Superstition is all tied to the number 8, and requires and understanding of Goroawase. Basically, there are a few words that can all mean a number, that can sound phonetically the same to other words, especially in combined. (8) "Ba" is close to (Fortune) "Fa", and this is why 8 is a lucky number. But 88 can be read as "Yabai" which means Terrible or Dangerous, and all three of them had a base Health of EXACTLY 88. This alludes to the fact that they have the facade of noble heroes who will bring good fortune, when they're all just petty, cruel, miscreants that threw away their freedom. This might just sound like a coincidence, but. They learn their moves at intervals of 8 levels, you catch their boss at level 88, and ALL of Pecharunt's stats are 88 (excluding Defense, which is 160, a multiple of 8). Finally, the Toxic Chain on them resembles the number as well, as 8 inherently looks like two links of chain.
They do look silly though, lmao
Some of these were a reach
They're surprisingly mostly not.
Although, he definitely ignored some primary connections in favor of more fringe and theoretical ones (Loyal Three being Brawn Brain and Beauty isn't confirmed, just likely).
For example, Tao Trio is better known for their ties to Taoism, specifically, Yin, Yang, and Wuji. But the alchemy relation is not actually wrong either, we get the Truth and Ideals theme from the Alchemy, not the Yin Yang.
The Aura Trio is one of the only groups that is easy to theorize but impossible to guarantee, as despite taking place in FRANCE, not a single legendary in Kalos is actually based on something in France. It's actually mostly English/Scottish and Norse Folklore that they seem to gain all of their inspiration from.
The other group is the UMA Combo, which we know are at minimum pixies, and possibly the Angels. The UMA combo are kinda just there tbh.
Hmmm idk about the lake trio, sounds like a major stretch from the fae in the lake theme they have
darkest day trio and regis left the chat
and what about the darkest day trio?
Not a Trio officially. It is a Duo and a separate Antagonist. Might as well make all the Kitakami Legends the "Momotaro Quintet" at that point.
gen 5 was about truth and ideals 😑
He said trio not duo. And there was some alchemy involved with black and white.
Bro those custom made Mystery Dungeon Sprites look so damn good.
You've got these wonderful artists to thank for them!

The main idea of alolan trio is sun, moon, and black hole
you confused the representation of lake trio. also why lugia is psychic? 😂
because they thought psychic as "the strong type" back then
What about Regice and Registeel?
Stone age, ice age and the iron age
@@EcranPlasma whoa! Never thought of that
Thanks
@@Americansikkunt This isn't confirmed but Regidrago and Regieleki may also represent the Middle Age and Modern Age.
Middle Age being represented by a mythical dragon, while the modern age is represented by electricity.
Leaving out the Regis is insane work
i was always invested into the legendary themes
Wait so rayquaza is a jew?
Wow the last 2 trio really feel off just around the time when gamefreak stop making good pokemon games 🤣
gen 9 was one of the best fym
@@zemellion26 tbh no. The story was not as good as the other games and the only thing that gen 9 brought was some new and overpowered mons for competitive. Let's just compare the story of this gen to the others.
@@dakshchaudhary903 This story is one of the best. At least top 3 (For me). Since you're take is different, I'll respect that.
He really downplayed the Loyal Three. They're specifically based on the Folktale of "Momotaro", representing the three companions of the titular protagonist, Momotaro, who was born from a Peach (making him Pecharunt). They go on an adventure to defeat a band of Oni (Ogres, Ogerpon). The BBB theming is likely, but still just a theory (their Pokedex entries mention that they traded their will for those aspects). What ISN'T a theory is their ties to superstition. SPECIFICALLY, the number "8". In Gorowase, 8 can represent Fortune on its own, but when you have 2 8s, 88, it can be read as "Yaba" which is in reference to the word "Yabai" which means Terrible or Dangerous, alluding to the fact that these "Heroes" who would be associated with good fortune, are just thieves with great PR. You might wonder where these 8s come in, well. 8 as a number resembles the links in a chain for one. For two, all four of the Loyal Three and Pecharunt have EXACTLY 88 Base Health. In fact, ALL of Pecharunt's stats are 88, except for its defense, which is 160, a multiple of 8. Pecharunt is caught at level 88, and all four of them learn new moves at, you guessed it, 8 Level Intervals.
It's a concept kinda lost the further West you go, but commonly used in many characters.
If you know JJBA, Mista fears the Number 4 because "Shi" the On'yomi reading of Four is also the word for Death, and is thus, an unlucky number.
And yes, this number stuff is HUGE in Japan. It has wormed its way into basically every facet of their culture in some capacity, even things like Yo-Yo, which is often associated in Japan with the number 44, which can be read as, you guessed it, "Yo-Yo". They even do this shit for Yaoi, I'm not even joking, 801 is "Ya-o-i"
@@zemellion26 idk about that man it's actually pretty bad and boring same with the villains if you can even call them that really
When I was a kid I loved the OG Pokemon movies.. they were so great 😅
I love how much lore the early ones are, and then the end of the video is just "these are the times of the day" i kmow it really is that simple sometimes, but its so funny
Kyogre=sea groudon=land Rayquaza=air. Its just the 3 parts of the earth. Wtf is this jewish mythology stuff?
I think he was referring to the way Rayquaza intervenes the fighting between Groudon and Kyogre
you dont know what "based off" means do you?
the way the 3 are presented and interact makes it pretty clear that thats what its based off
You didn’t play Pokémon Emerald version did you? MF Chump
@vulcan1315 You didn’t play Pokémon Emerald version did you? They had a fight and Raqyaza intervened. Everything has a backstory/origin story.
What a MF chump. If you got a problem with religion or Jews just say that.
LMAO, you got the first trio wrong, the elemental birds are based on spanish one two three
That's their name, not what theyre based off of. How would uno be equivalent to ice
bro thinks he's smart 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro thought he was slick 🤣
you're a goober face
yeah, you fumbled that one
Everytime i see a video talking about the birds theme they invent a new explanation
The birds are literally the 3 magic types? Fire, ice, and lightning.
Yoo the last three be goin’ on survivor 😱
Legendaries now : Broom Broom Broom
I love it WHEN SWORD AND SHEILD LEGENDARY TRIO IS SKIPPED
This is amazing.Can you do more please.
Fun fact the tree of life appears as a gym in x-y
For giratina, i would prefer gravity instead of anti-matter since it would fit in nicely😅
Correction of the last trio, it's the tale of Momotaro
Don’t forget the Regi Trio being golems made of different elements,
