What if Game Freak put me in charge of creating designs for the new Kalosian starters in Pokemon Legends Z-A? Which Pokemon would I choose and why? How would they change to be even more fitting of Kalos? Here are three ideas with DEPTH!

Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out! - Hry
I LOVE Conceptualizing Pokemon like this. I also love conceptualizing sleeping on my bed. Thank you Helix for sponsoring! Visit helixsleep.com/lockstin to get 20% off your Helix mattress, plus two free pillows. Offers subject to change.
Dang, if only I had money
😊hi
I don't really like u using chikorita and tepig because we already got cyndaquil from gen 2 and oshawott from gen 5 on the previous legends game so i don't think they would those Pokémon but still an amazing video
Inteleon's ability is too busted I think, maybe have it where every turn it gains 1+ evasiveness, but if it gets hit by an opponents move, it gains -2 evasiveness
give a pokemon an ability which gives it the effect of double team every turn? i think a better ability would be that it is impossible to lower its accuracy
I'm predicting a Phantom of the Opera inspired Water/Ghost Primarina since the original book was written in 1909 and the French have a long history of opera after Italy's creation of it
That would be cool, or the fire type could be, the Phantom does dress up as Don Juan and that was kinda spicy haha
@@infra_r3d133 Ooh, I could totally see Infernape becoming a Fire/Dark type with the aesthetic of the cymbal monkey from the stage production to reference it too!
Also it's sgnature z-move Oceanic Operetta and operetta is french.
ooh, the fl is a brunette, right? ive seen a fake regional variant of that pokemon with brunette hair and i thought she looked beautiful :3
Love Primarina!! Love your thoughts.
The other Pokemon that should get Megas is Slowking and Froslass, their counterparts had them, so it wouldn't make sense if the former two didn't.
Yes, make the pokemon known for dodging everything stronger.
@@tristandorst3287but if it gets a mega it probably won't have that ability
Id also add cleavor to the list due to it being a split evo to scyther and a counterpart to scizor
@@tristandorst3287 If only there was some Steel-type move that completely bypassed the accuracy check, then we wouldn't live in terror of the Ice Queen
@@druidt8949 You mean like Tachyon Cutter?
"Calm down Kalosian Emboar, we're your friends!"
"Shut up food, I'll kill you!"
Unless you're the Kalosian Emboar's master, and everything else (that isn't your team) is food
Sorry pal but can we make amends?
Kalosian Emboar, wrapping its opponent in a big hug, "Welcome to Flavortown."
Kalosian Emboar being part Fairy could also play on how many Fairy type Pokémon are based on sweets and bakery, which France is quite famous for.
And that would make Emboar a patissier, which is a French word
fitting in with Fidough and Slurpuff
@@jojidubi4 and alcreamie
yeah when i saw the fairy typing on it i thought
"..... Because Food??"
@@dubstepbeecorsi6892 I knew I was forgetting some.
Meganium actually makes a ton of sense for Kalos, there was a species of Sauropod discovered in France called Ampelosaurus which translates to "Vine Lizard".
Also, Ampelosaurus was one of the types of sauropods to have armor plating (osteoderms) on its back, which ties in great with the knight armor design details!
@@JacobPDeIiNoNi, it's not just a lithostrotian (the sauropods with osteoderms), it's more special, it's the lithstrotian with the most diversity in osteoderm shape and size, with like four different types of osteoderms found. We sadly have no idea how those were arranged on the animal as they were all found disconnected from the rest of the skeleton.
Also, _Ampelosaurus_ is not any French dinosaur, it's pretty much ZE French dinosaur along with Pyroraptor. It's the most well known and second most popular dinosaur discovered and found only (plus a bit in Spain) in our country.
Problem is, the connection makes more sense for a future Legends game set in Unova.
Amazing... also, Kalosian Meganium could also pull inspiration from one of the most influential figures in Medieval French history, Joan of Arc.
I think Kalosian-Inteleon's ability should instead raise the accuracy of itself and its allies every turn its on the field. It would still be fitting and would also make for a very interesting support Pokemon in doubles formats.
Raising evasiveness in the rain was the first thing I thought of but now I’m thinking maybe it could do something like the pressure ability or drain HP from the opponent with every turn to add to the spectralness of it.
What if it raises both? This would also fit with the inspiration- Being able to always have effectively good luck with misses and hits once you’ve got enough cams up, or in other words, knowing what the future brings.
@@L-and-P That would be cool too!!!
WHEN HE SAID "THIS IS THE FACE OF..." I IMMEDEATY SAID THE CORRECT TYPE, THE COLOR IS REALLY GIVING IT AWAY ( In a good way, that's amazing character/Pokemon design!! )
"Imagine Giga Drain as a physical move, and a little better" So, Horn Leech?
I came here specifically to leave this comment.
I was just about to say this then thought, “maybe I should check the comments first.”
@@rileyackison4495…I did not. Lol
You could easily pull a modern Pokémon and add another attribute to make the move stand out from horn leech while keeping it rare in distribution.
Lockstin suggests dual type with Steel, but I think the less messy idea would be to make the move always crit to evoke the Lance strike. Also, I don’t think it needs to absorb 75% of damage done.
she leech on my horn till i giga drain
I wonder if we'll get a Klefki evolution in ZA. The first ever train robbery happened in france, and involved the creation and stealing of ALOT of keys, which Klefki is known for.
Now that Sora's in Smash unofficially making Pokemon a world in Kingdom Hearts, Klefki should evolve into an actual possessed skeleton key. It would evolve near Hoopa rings and other areas with weak parts of reality.
Wait is this a trolly message, cos the second half had nothing to do with KH 😂@@ansemthetrueseekerofdarkne2730
@ansemthetrueseekerofdarkne2730 Where are you going with this?
@@TheMalikp1 Glimmet and Glimmora are infinity energy infused nativised heartless that emerged from cracks in reality at the lowest depths of Area Zero even deeper than the underdepths, hence explaining the alien appearence, and tera crystal (highly adaptable) petals. They're not fully pokemon, just weird half creatures. Blacephalon is part nobody and came from the farthest reaches of Ultra Space, probably at the very border of the Pokemon world where heartless and nobodies amongst other KH oddities can actually break in and spawn naturally.
@@ansemthetrueseekerofdarkne2730 Are you trolling? Making a joke of this or something?
Small correction to the bit about the monkey being killed. That was in England, in the city of hartlepool, and was done because the brits thought the washed ashore monkey WAS french.
Where did it really come from?
Some else probably mentioned it already, but the “commonly” in Kalosian Meganium’s Pokedex entry is misspelled as “commonny”. It’s at 26:57 if anyone is wondering.
17:22 he’s referring to ortolan bunting, cw: bird torture. the ortolan is an adorable songbird that’s very tiny, the ortolan is hidden in a cramped cage filled with an endless supply of food where they’re covered in darkness as to confuse their internal clock making them binge eat (keep in mind songbirds are very social, if they’re ever confined in such a space they will become depressed, this is akin to social confinement torture) after they begin to gain weight the bird is then drowned in burning liquor to slowly drown it until it dies, the ortolan will then be plucked, roasted and served. The diners put the napkin on their heads for three reasons
1 to take in the aroma of the food (not really but suuure)
2 the bird is served without being deboned, the diners will eat the beaks, bones and legs fully intact, most diners spit the beaks out because obviously. Thus they would want to cover their faces so other diners won’t have to see the disgusting display of people spitting bones out
And 3 religious people do this to shield god from having to witness them eating in such a disgusting way especially considering how the dish they ate got in their table in the first place.
Anyways if you can bring yourself to eat anything after reading this congratulations.
Also important thing to note is Ortolan Buntings are declining. Not enough to be classified as special concern, threatened, or endangered as of yet but declining nonetheless.
I read it while eating turkey 😋
@@Jerrremy November was a while ago..
Wasn't this on American Dad?
@@WRPBullet yeah but the real life recipe is ten times worse, somehow this is still legal in a lot of countries.
I see you wanted to do something kinda similar to Mabosstif.
For those who don’t know, the Paldea dogs reference the Butcher, the Baker, and the Candlestick Maker.
Oh! I hadn't realized that
I did not realize this was true, but it makes so much sense
And the Mime. (Animaniacs reference)
I can see the baker being fidough and the candlestick maker being houndstone but how is mabostiff the butcher?
Like evil butcher as in murder and since the dark type in English is known as the evil type in Japanese and murder is pretty darn evil?
@@Gameboy_Graci Pretty much what you expect of this “top dog” in “a dog-eat-dog world” who is also a carnivore
Also, the French were the ones to create the code of Chivelry in the 13th century, which we associate with knights today; it's named for their word for knight, "chevalier," and during the reign of Charlemagne they also made some of the more recognizable contributions to the King Arthur mythos. Lancelot was a French author King Arthur OC to extol the virtues of courtly love, which was quite popular among French writers at the time; the freaking Round Table comes from Charlemagne and his knights; yes, really, Charlemagne and his knights would gather around a big round table to convene with reports and discuss war strategies, and when I say his knights, I'm talking about the elite knights Charlemagne promoted to his inner circle.
Let's go for "La chanson de Roland" !
I think what's also great about these starters is that, just like the original Kalos trio, are essentially JRPG tropes: Bard/Knight, Spy/Assassin, and Chef. While probably not as iconic as the original 3, they feel in line and in theme
Man I can't wait for baguette surperior
(would be grass fairy because fairy is the food type and if it could make fun of some sorta famine)
But real talk a fairy fighting and steel trio could be cool
Or new Fidough evolution
Not gonna lie, a Phantom-Thief inspired Intellion would be badass. It should be made a thing even if it's not for Legends ZA.
just make it joker persona 5, that's the funniest outcome
I genuinely like that Meganium idea honestly. It's something i never would have thought of, thats for certain.
They thought Stegosaurus’s plates worked like shingles on a roof... so THAT’S where the name “roofed lizard” came from! I honestly never knew about that until today!😂😂
That inteleon desgin is honestly one of my favorites from these Za starter videos.
The only starter I want in Legends Z-A is Serperior. It's quite literally perfect for Kalos. Not only is it based on French royalty, but there's already stuff in Kalos which refers to the Snivy line. There's an image of Snivy and Servine in Sycamore's lab, and Serperior is on the gates to Parfum Palace
I personally want meganium, who desparately needs a redmption arc but if not meganium serperior would definitely be cool
I thought I wanted Serperior, until I saw this Meganium concept. I need this.
You made Meganium look and act even more like a friend! I love it! :D
These three really feel like the "be careful who you bully" trio
OH FUN FACT.
Where i'm from in the UK.
They also hung a monkey cause they thought it was a french spy.
It's why people from that area are often referred too as "Monkey Hangers"
The more you know :')
Hartlepool, a dark and sinful place.
@@defeatstatistics7413 I did not expect someone to get that haha
That's the story he's referencing. He somehow got the facts completely wrong despite looking it up for the picture. 😂
Damn right! Those monkeys are up to something??!!
People often talk about the robot apocalypse or the zombie apocalypse, but nobody suspects the *monkey apocalypse.*
Think about it. Hollywood popularized Planet of the Apes, Chimp co-stars, and even the phrase "Return to Monke?????"
Hollywood is not run by lizard people, it's run by Monkey Men who're gathering intelligence on the human race and make us more docile and empathetic to their shadowy takeover when we just softly agree to hand them the nuclear codes bc "haha, silly monke don't know computer" and then BAM, humans go extinct. France and Britain were right to hang those monkeys! They were spies!!!
This is why the proper shibboleth to scare monkeys is not "two birds, one stone" it's "two monkeys, one chainsaw!"
17:28 Ah. They made a French children’s song about that, I think. Or at least about cheerfully mutilating a songbird in preparation for cooking it.
Ah yes, Alouette.
Alouette. I've only seen it as a French Canadian folk song. It means lark (the bird). I never heard about eating larks.
@@jenniferdaniels701 That’s the one. I just distinctly remember a songbook I had as a kid saying that the song was derived from the French tradition of eating songbirds and depicts a chef singing to a bird he intends to cook.
@@jenniferdaniels701 I believe the lyrics mention things like plucking feathers, and when the song was first sung, in colonial times, larks were game birds. You have to pluck bird feathers before you eat them.
I know that birds need to be plucked, mammals skinned, etc. But that doesn't mean that eating songbirds is well known. @@bornasotoudeh4044
This might be the first time I’ve wanted to pick chickorita. I LOVE the new meganium, great work on these starters, and I can’t wait to see what they actually come up with for the games
Bright powder+Protect+ Scrying Bubbles= unkillable
Incineroar could become Andre the giant, an iconic french wrestler, in this case as a hero vs their villain origins, it would have to be much bigger with flaming mutton chops
Could also be the hunchback of notre dame, a "monster" that is actually a big softy, like Incineroar's whole act as a heel
I also want to see an Andre the giant incineror, also maybe a fat french cat, you could also give it a Marie Antoinette connection by making it love cake
Makes a hell of a lot more sense than a pig chef, lol. I'd rather never see Emboar again, though, or Infernape for that matter. Insults to my boi Blaziken the OG, the one, the only, the true
@frankcaggiano8282 I'd rather never see the pig again either, but in animated videos with anthropomorphic characters, pigs are commonly depicted as chefs. It goes to the saying "never trust a skinny chef" as it implies that they never taste their food, and tasting ones food for proper seasoning is kind of an important step.
@@NightmareShadows13 das crazy. I can't recall ever having seen this trope in my life
This is why you're one of my favourite youtubers.
You're always so in-depth with explaining the origins behind pokemon/your fakemon and present it in a way that's never boring or uninteresting and in a way that also makes me more interested about the inspirations behind their designs.
Incredible choices for the starters and super cool typings/moves I'd say Inteleon is my favourite but their all amazing either way!
Then you get idiots like Verlisify who thinks your vids are trash and fake...
Small correction, when you were talking about infernape, the French didn't hang the monkey, it was the people of hartlepool in the north of England who thought it was a French spy. (That's the story at least)
To this day the monkey is a symbol of hartlepool
I like the idea of serperior becoming super flowery since the language of flowers originated in france, with the first popular book on the matter being published not to long before the renovation of paris
"Stuck with chikorita" She needs a something so bad tho. Also, grass/steel typing is actually really good. Just look at ferothorn.
Honestly this video was very refreshing I feel like every poketuber is making the same video talking about Napoleon, it’s nice to see a more creative approach.
Definitely!
I’m thinking GameFreak will go with some left field picks since we all originally thought of Serperior and Empoleon.
Or maybe they will just do the obvious kind of like we figured out after Legends Arceus.
"that isn't the face of a Dark-type"
Impidimp: amazing. you were wrong again Lockstin!
Question: Did Intelion kill people to get their souls or did random Gastly and Yamask donate themselves to the lizard boi?
This meganium was fantastic. I
could not stop praising it. The desing, the lore, the references. JUST PERFECTION!!!!
I absolutely love the Kalosian Emboar design. The Tepig line is already my 2nd favorite Fire-type starter family. Also, the Fire/Fairy typing you gave it is *chef's kiss* perfect!
I really want a Fire/Fairy Type Pokemon because it would be very offensively strong with good Resistances.
Emboar fan W
Okay, let me get this straight - I love these forms! 😍 I was always an Inteleon fangirl, but this is almost as cool as the original. And the other two are far better than their originals! Would catch all three of them 🤗
Loved this Inteleon, really strong concept. Also as a French person it’s both funny and cute to see you struggle with "joie de vivre" !
Glad we can all agree that Serperior is gonna be a Z-A starter
I'm gonna disagree. It's gonna be something unexpected.
I will be disappointed if they use anything other than Meganium. It doesn't have to be the version from this video, but the poor Chikorita line has suffered for decades, it's time for them to get some much needed love.
As dark and cruel as it is, I'm in love with Kalosian Emboar. 🥰
To be frank,I love it when there is a cruel fairy type
that comma in the "my wife, cat and i" is the MVP of the ad segment
If we do get your version of Kalosian Emboar, there's a high chance someone will make a Starved Eggman reference
I saw a cool idea that Incineroar becomes a Fire/Poison Chminey Sweeper where it becomes a black cat covered in soot.
I feel like that'd work for Chimchar's line too, since monkeys are known to climb so it wouldn't that far out of reach for Kalos to have especially bred Chimchars to clean out their chimneys, and then it evolved to produce the same toxins that it was covered in as a Chimchar.
fun fact! in the indigo disk trailer, Rowlet was shown alongside Snivy, Oshawott was shown alongside Piplup, and Cyndaquil was shown alongside... Torchic. this does not seem like coincidence to me
A rooster is a national animal of France. Makes sense.
two birds with fairly similar body types, i doubt it.
Maybe they make blaziken into a ballerina?
The only problem is that the starters have a fairly high chance of getting megas , and blaisiken already has one. I doubt they'd leave it out or give it a second like charizard or Mewtwo , blaisiken isn't on that level of fame
@@TaperTarioThe way I see it, Combusken will always evolve into this hypothetical “Kalosian” Blaziken, but you can find Hoennian Blaziken, plus its mega form through other means, kinda like how Johtonian Sneasel and Alolan Vulpix were in Legends Arceus despite Hisuian Sneasel and Kantonian Vulpix being regularly available throughout the game.
I think the starts for Pokémon Legends Z-A will be: Timber, Geodude and Fletching.
(Timber for construction)
(Geodude for demolition)
(Fletching for welding and air lifting large weights)
i like how inteleon's moustache also looks like an old-fashioned mask you'd wear at a ball that Catherine de Medici would go to
It's great seeing love for Chikorita, a line in desperate need for uniqueness, rivalling Cyndaquil.
I do understand the thought that Empoleon and Serperior would be easy because of their inspirations, but that’s also exactly why I would want them. It would just be satisfying to have everything wrapped up so succinctly.
wow, I can't believe American Dad once had a bit that included the "eat it under a napkin" and it was all real, not just a gag.
I really like those ideas. It's definitely a great way to improve the Chickorita line. I also probably have a bit bias, but I love the Inteleon idea. It's too freaking cool. It's definitely my favorite of these. I wish it would be in the game.
17:00 I'm not trying to make excuses, but when crabs and lobsters die, the bacteria in them breaks them down quickly and makes ammonia, meaning you'd get food poisoning. You COULD put them out of their misery first, but you'd have to get them in the pot IMMEDIATELY afterwards, cause they start decomposing FAST
Maybe we just shouldn't bother with them then. They're entirely overrated as is, lobster and crab are very, very mid and not as fancy or special as what people pay for it, lol.
They started as prison food@@frankcaggiano8282
@@frankcaggiano8282 theyre made of meat so theyre made to be eaten
@@thebookless3381 we're made of meat, so we're meant to be eaten as well then, yeah? Brilliant, you can be first on the menu ;) But seriously, I'm not arguing for us not to eat them because it's mean, they're just gross, overrated, incredibly mid seafoods. Almost any fish just tastes better and has a more pleasant texture, even octopus is ten times as delicious as lobster or crab
@@frankcaggiano8282 for tastes colors I guess
Also yeah we're kinda meant to be eaten, but there's this bothersome thing called morality and stuff that gets in the way, annoying right?
Serperior is my hope because not only does it fit perfectly but it would get a new form possibly and I want my favorite Pokemon to get one
Serperior is a great favorite! My favorite starter!
Nice delta serperior pic. Pokemon insurgence is such a good game
You didnt have to go so hard for Intelion, I love it already but this
this does put a smile on my face. . .
Also considering the soul bubble concept I imagine it would be fitting if it also bubbled the souls of victims so it can pull information out of them, or perhaps to turn into shadowy puppets to further epand its spy web with later. I could Imagine it surprising a Pokemon, bubbling their soul and hiding it up their sleeve then basically sending the newly made spy back into the population.
I also wonder if a movement ability (in its lore atleast) based on walking in a giant flying bubble world work out.
I love this video, but I have a small sticking point; barding is not _solely_ a term for horse armor, but also refers to a form of armor primarily composed of cloth or leather, which could either be worn on it's own, allowing for more mobility, or layered underneath plate or chainmail. Notably, plate and chainmail were, historically, almost _never_ worn without barding underneath (another specific name for human cloth armor is a brigantine)
Even though its a wolf-centric legend, a Loup Garou inspired Incineroar would be kinda cool as his Kalos/insert name for past Kalos/ian form. (Note, SMT V gave me the basis for said speculation, and I can’t unsee it anymore)
Yes, Too cool !
Let's go for "La Bête du Gévaudan" !
I love midnight Lycanroc but why is it in Alola
It makes sense for midday and dusk because its a specie of hawaian wolf
WAIT, THAT DROWNED BIRD YOU EAT UNDER A BLESSED NAPKIN IS REAL CUISINE?!?! I honestly thought something as needlessly cruel as that was just made-up for an episode of "American Dad".
Hi, French persone here.
Never heard of that reciepe.
Must be a thing of a long long past no one knows about nowadays.
@gheleorm8894 A quick Google search shows that the bird is called the ortolan bunting or just the ortolan and apparently France had restricted its use in 1999 due to low population numbers but didn't really enforce it until 2007.
@@NightmareShadows13Thanks! sounds correct to my memory.
I thought it was made up for Succession…
I came up with a dual type gym leader a while back, a Fire/Fairy chef (that had a BBQ theming, since it was for a gym in Kansas City in a midwest-based region), and that Emboar variant would be the perfect Ace.

YOU NEVER SEE IT COMIIIIIIIIING
YOU'LL SEE
THAT MY MIND IS
TOO FAST FOR EYES
I love how you took 3 starters I don't care much about (in their final forms) and made them more interesting.
I'd much rather they do something new with less popular Pokemon when making new forms than giving fan favourites a new design which will inevitably fail to live up to the original
16:25 "I find everyones pain funny, but my own. I'm french." ^^
- Emboar
There's been a lot of speculation the trio is going to be snivy/torchic/piplup, and if so I like the idea of Serperior as a Bourbon (grass/fairy for the fancy and aggressively etiquette-centric culture of versailles), Blaziken as a revolutionary (fire/steel for the Bastille and the guillotine), and of course Napoleon Empoleon (water/fighting for the guy's military accomplishments, and to round out the double-effective types trio)
-Water: Crying/scrying? GENIOUS!!!
-Fire: STOP. THATS ENOUGH. This is now my favorite starter
-Grass: FINALLY someone else sees that thing's horsiness! Also, the layers!!! A bard? Apollo adjacent. Also a flower? Like Hyacinthus, Apollo's lover!? Espinas from MH is in there too???? (lots of stretches, but stil, MY GODS)
You COOKED. These are perfect and I will die of dissapointment because they are not official 😭
Yes, I love that you gave Emboar some attention! It's my favorite Unova starter purely because of nostalgia, and seeing it turn sadistic is pretty funny
I think scrying bubbles would be balanced if entered the battlefield with one bubble and it's evasiveness drops by two stages if it gets hit. A couple bubbles getting popped on contact makes sense to me
I like that you took three commonly hated upon starters and gave them an upgrade! I personally love all of these underrated starters, but these designs are killer!
A new Neo Ghetsis video AND a speculative ZA video?!? You spoil us, Lockstin
don’t tell him that, let this keep happening 😈
I'd take the new Intellion in a heart-beat. I'm upset it isn't ORIGINALLY a Water/Ghost-type, it would've been so cool.
Bro, I envision the learning you do for all this information.. It's highly entertaining! Keep at it ❤
One thing to note about the starters, if we base them off of certain aspects of PLA, then they probably wouldn’t get brand new signature abilities. They also wouldn’t have any abilities in game, like PLA
Lockstin gets me more invested in Pokémon then Pokémon itself.
Serperior needs love, lots of it
Agreeee
Yes!
Meganium too 😢
On the Contrary, Superior is doing just fine thanks to its hidden ability.
Serperior is so damn good tho, Meganium is in much more need of love than it.
I really like this, it gives Tepig the second chance that for so long only I thought it deserved.
I actually love these ideas. Like every part of the design was very well thought out and I just love it.
19:56: Well, I would definitely be one of Kalos Emboar's victims. Heck, it would probably get me for calling the Polaner Allfruit mere "Jelly."
Torterra as the original French Tarasque but with added influence from the DND Tarrasque would be amazing though
Kalosian Intelion ability who give a great use to doesn't check accuracy moves like Aerial Ace
These are some pretty wicked designs! I wouldn’t mind getting something like these!
Man, I never knew how sadistic French cooking was. Imagine if Ratatouille had been more realistic. 😳
Actually, we in France, don't do that kind of cuisine nowadays. Or not that much or not that hard ><
Barerly nobody cooks snails or frogs these days ^^
I was not prepared for you to go to bat for bad guy chef Kalosian Emboar, but I'm kinda here for it? Also, it made me think of that line in the movie, Flushed Away: "I'm French: I find everyone's pain funny but my own." XD I just. Bruh. Excellent build, and if they did that, I think I'd need one? Also, loving Intellion and Meganium as well! I kinda hope we get this!
16:08 the Rise of the TMNT villain Meat Sweats also is in this category of pig chefs
Emboar is my favorite Pokémon, and Rise of the TMNT is GOATED! Based comment.
I see the phantom thief trope applied to intelion without a single mention of Monsieur LeBlank or the most gentlemanly thief that ever was: Arsene Lupin
I like how you included the night gags, whose pleasure comes from corrupting mortals
A joan of arc based starter would be super cool, could see cinderace possibly
Gosh! I never knew that was the way english people are writing our "Jeanne d'arc" name :O .
Yeah, let's go for "La Pucelle d'Orléans" !
But maybe a Primarina could work. Cinderace is human shaped indeed but Primarina is more likely feminine. Or let's make it out of Feraligator 🤩
there is no way lockstin made megganium such a good kalosian form, i would choose it no doubt
These are really cool, really would like to see mega evolutions for them too
I was waiting for this video to come out and you never disappoint! Awesome concepts!!!
I love the emboar so much he’s insane and cruel but also just so wacky I want him to commit crimes against pokemon with a goofy grin
I love how its the past variations of lostin gnogons characters
I love all of the local variants that are being theorized, but these are some of my favorites! You've actually made me enjoy the Chikorita line!
Big fan of this Meganium. They deserve so much more love.
No one:
Lockstin: Pokemon Legends *ZUH*
I love the ideas presented, especially Meganium which gives it an amazing defensive type.
It would be pretty neat if like in X and Y, they would have you choose between another set of starters like with the Kanto starters. Maybe later on you get the choice between Piplup, Snivy, and whatever fire starter they go with and they get their own Megas.
6:17 OMG wait this place is definitely the inspiration for that one route/castle place in X and Y where they have Honedge and Espurr in the fields (and the Daycare Center nearby)
After hearing what gets done to those poor birds, I would personally like to introduce this Reigonal Emboar to my Choice Banded Head Smash, courtesy of my Hisuian Arcanine.
Nice that you acknowledge the easy route before diving into your own personal choice, helps make the video more fun.
Do you intend do have another prediction video after the official starter choices are revealed?
The old Lockstin avatars have me reeling😂
The fact that you didn’t mention Quaquaval could become a Black Swan when mentioning it should be more serious and it’s previous evolution is ballet just broke my heart 😭
Heh^^ That Emboar was extremely inspired, love it!
On a tangent, i also once invented an attack that felt similar to this fire types signature one. "Rope Burn" was a wrap type attack used by a sadistic Omastar and would cause guaranteed flinching if the opposing pkmn was suffering from a burn but fur every flinch the attack and special attack stats would get one rise (to show how the victim was struggling to excape from the pain.).
