HOW IS THIS 14 HOURS AGO
Sam Knight he made the video yesterday but published it today
I've played this game before, it sucks.
@TheThoughtPalace everybody has to eat, do you eat likes? If that´s true you are an amazing person.
I like to imagine somewhere out there are silicon-based life treating water like an acid and telling alien stories of carbon-based life drinking the "dangerous liquid" as if it were ammonia or methane or whatever their water equivalent is
I've seen some creative writing stuff online that depicts humanity as being strange and fearsome in any number of ways, including this (often associated with the phrases "humans are weird" and "humans are space orcs").
What I wonder is: are there silicon-based beings out there writing short stories like that where their species' various traits that they consider normal for lack of any outside point of reference turn out to be weird or impressive? If we ever meet any aliens, will our societies be able to swap pre-contact "we're special and cool compared to aliens" fiction?
I don't even mean stories of humanity triumphing over aliens, I mean stuff like our species being able to simply scream at volumes dangerous to aliens, being the only ones in the galactic community with hard teeth, and aggressively pack-bonding with everything we lay eyes on.
Well, technically we would be weird and horrible aliens with acid blood to these guys so yes.
blarg2429 - In the Ender’s Game series (I think), the notion of _individuals_ was strange to the aliens. They figured wiping out a colony was no big deal, and didn’t understand the furious response. Being have-minded insectoids, they didn’t consider individuals valuable.
@@GamerFromJump Yeah, we also have animals like that on earth. They're called ants.
@@blarg2429 yeah but most of those stories are based on the assumption that the aliens evolved from carbon-based life forms that were not pursuit predators, or were plants, either or really.
Pursuit predation meant our evolution prioritized rapid healing and extreme amounts of endurance, so we ended up healing quicker but messier and are capable of going for days on end without sleep. the only creatures that heal faster than us are either only capable of healing quicker in one facet IE;lizards where regrowing limbs is possible, or don't have a brain IE;starfish.
“The world of Pokémon has some level of magic in it”
What give it away? The sentient rocks or the actual manipulators of space and time???
I would probably say the pokemon based on magicians and wizards.
I think pokemon or like unevolved benders from avatar. Jk but still a fun thought
Or literal fairies and dragons?
And Pokemon based off mythical creatures and Yokai such as Ninetales and Mawile
or the fact that a fire centipede can grow 34 times its original size and destroy whole buildings, nah its just walking rocks
"You would inhale oxygen, and [excrete] sand!" You sir, just explained Hippopotas and Hippowdon!
but...it's not a rock type.....

Considering how Gigalith feeds off sunlight, it most likely is some kind of solar powered gargoyle and the solar blasts it fires are some kind of way to prevent overheating
Gigalith can even learn Solar Beam which works well with the fact you stated
It’s a mystery why they gave it such a low special attack stat
*Gigalith used Vomit*
Except the fact that Gigalith is not a gargoyle
@@princess_sarina_elysia Because its a physical attacker, not alot of rock moves are special
I have always run on the theory that rock types are just bugs/crustaceans, since there are a few rock/bug type combos anyway.
Onyx could easily be a centipede like creature that incorporates native stone into its chitinous shell.
Meanwhile, we have other rock types who are literally colonies of plants/bugs
Especially stakkataka

"Breathes in oxygen breathes out sand", is that how sandstream works?
Raihan intensifies
In my own personal thoughts, I feel that Rock Type, and by similarity, Steel types, are still Carbon based Lifeforms, BUT, that has Silicone Based skin.
The hole eats the stone thing? I believe that it’s to absorb the Silicone by eating them, then use it to harden its skin.
Like a few specific animals and slugs eating specific dangerous and toxic species to absorb its poison to become poisonous itself.
It also could explain why the eat the Pokémon food. They still need it like Normal Pokémon.
Anyhow, awsm Video! Keep ai it!

So theoretically with worlds with no air we could have hydrogen based life
Man im gonna have a field day imagining creatures made out of any element
World of Flatearth ( pun intended )
@@ItsJustKaya that's where the densest forms of life are found, with very little intelligence
We are elements
The issue with that is that hydrogen readily reacts with everything sans gold and the noble gases, and that is has only one valence electron. Most atoms want to reach a stable point of eight valence electrons, with hydrogen and helium being exceptions, where they only really want two. This means that under most circumstances, hydrogen can only ever really bond with one other atom. That's why hydrogen only ever really appears at the end of a chain. In fact, that's why many chemical diagrams omit writing hydrogen on chains when it's alone, like when a carbon atom is bound to two or three.
The property of trying to get a stable valence shell is why carbon works so well and why it's thought that silicon could work. Since carbon (and silicon) have four valence electrons, they can give or take electrons to get to a stable valence configuration, either by actively receiving 4 electrons or by sharing them with another atom.
@@umber6937 so what you're saying is, golden planet make watermen
When you mentioned that it's possible silicon-based lifeforms exist somewhere in the universe I was expecting you to mention Lunaton and Solrock. You know, the rock pokemon from outer space
0:31 it should’ve been called hassle castle
msmx music I agree
4:30
This is the first time I've heard him say yeet.
3:53 It's actually closer to CO2, but the one main difference between them being that SiO2 uses its Oxygen atoms to bond with other SiO2. Similar to how Carbon bonds with itself in diamonds. H2O doesn't do this (or at least not exactly that), it shares its Hydrogens with other water molecules to form OH- and H3O+ (or H+) ions but it's bonding force is much weaker between molecules than SiO2 and non organic Carbon structures.

I love when you make these science videos that are thinly veiled as Pokémon videos, because as little as this had to do with Pokémon, I definitely have always wondered how magical rock creatures could exist
I feel offended of the fact you said hustle castle has a similar art style to part 3 jojo
And i am still sad about iggys death. And now? XD
it looks like a bootleg family guy game so i get you 100%
johan11222 exactly!
The last time I was this early, Pikachu defeated Onix.
Makes me think about how rock types would all have a common ancestor since they would have evolved seperatly from carbon based pokemon. I'd like to see you try and put every pokemon into a long evolutionary tree branching from Mew. It does seem like a lot but significantly less when you put all evolutionary lines together and take out the legendaries that predate evolution.
Another Poketuber already has something like that.
Id never thought a mostly pokemon channel would make a jojo reference
Mostly Pokémon channel with other half composed of History and Science
There's always an opportunity for a Jojo's reference.
Mmm... It’s interesting to figure how and what rock types are made of.
Rock is made out of rock

What I get: lecture on elements
Me: huh...so THAT'S why they cancelled school? So I get a better education than my teachers can?
This doesn’t even scratch the surface. Stay in school
@@Johntend0 Factually incorrect.
Simple answer: legs
its also important to notice Carbon always binds in hexagons, which are proven by nature to be the most stable and resilient array.
I mean, silicon-based life is like carbon-based life eating carbon-based rocks like aragonite or limestone.
And shells of snails and such technically are literal rock, after all the same molecule that makes the shells of those organism transform into limestone when they die and enough are in the same spot.

This video was just, so dang interesting to me, I gotta tell you-I was completely enamored. Thanks for the greatly studied and researched video as always.
Should've mentioned Nihilego. The translucent head-membrane, is most probably SO2, silica or quartz.
*"I just explained Gorons"*
Loggstin did the impossible and now he is my new favorite teacher
I think it's important to consider the possibility of these creatures not being MADE of rock, but instead evolving a thick, stony integument (body covering) for defense. We see in golem that the creature is actually inside of the rock instead of actually being made from it. From the exposed parts of golem's body we can deduct that golem is likely to be reptilian in some form. This is strengthened by the existence of aggron, who consumes metal ore in order to form a mineralised 'shell' around the body. Aggron can definitely be placed as some form of reptile who likely forms a clade or group with tyranitar. Tyranitar doesn't have the most pronounced rock like skin, yet is still rock type. This, along with other pokemon such as bonsly and sudowoodo having green skin, solidifies this theory in my eyes. The reason for this adaption is of course, for defense. Pokemon like geodude, sudowoodo and nosepass would all likely be some form of first or second order consumer being preyed upon, and would have a reason for this adaption. With other pokemon who seem to be at the top of the food chain this is slightly harder to pin down. We can probably assume aggron keeps it for defense as it not only needs the integument but also more than that to protect itself. Tyranitar, on the other hand, is likely to be some form of derived aggron species which is now the highest order of consumer in its ecosystem. The stony skin in this case then would be most likely vestigial trait, that is, a trait which has become less and less pronounced over time. Tyranitar could have also benefited from the defense not from predators, but instead the weather.
Other pokemon which have metallic shells like bronzong and metagross also would be likely to be related to geodude yet arrived on a similar adaption as aggron to help with defense. Other pokemon with the rock typing are just that type because they either collected these rocks from the environment or are fossilised species.

Dude I want Lockstin as my science teacher and him to relate all different science genres to video games. I’d go to every class. Hell, if he made a series mashing video games and real world scientific logic together I’d watch it.
That would probably take a lot of research time though lol
Rocks types rock
Gigalith is literall perfection ❤️
In monster hunter, there's rock monsters that appear to be completely made from rocks but ultimately it's is skin/outer shell
Maybe they're just muscle and rock
That's what I think is the case for many rock type pokemon.
This video was SUPER-fascinating! That bit about the creature with rock eyes…so cool! Bonsly was a little distracting at the end, though, I ADORE Bonsly and had a hard time listening to your words, but hey, you were wrapping up at that point anyway. But anyway, as I was saying, like, there were parts of the video where I was like, "Oh, that's a neat fun fact, guess we're done here", only for another fun fact to pop up a few minutes later - the video just kept on giving. Aaaah, I'm nerding out over here…Love it! :D
I nearly spit out water when you said you weren't salty...That's your whole appeal!
Lockstin likes alchemists, full metal alchemists
There have been other rock creatures that have been imagined. "Rock Biter" from "The NeverEnding Story" movies. Tonka even had a toy called Rock Lords, true it was in the late 1980s as a spin-off collection to the Go - Bots & they didn't sell very well, but still it was an interesting idea to me.
I love watching your videos for digestible scientific information. I came for poke-info, and left with tons of science fiction possibilities for my work. Love love love it!

For rock types that are actually rock, any sensitive information related parts (brain, eyes, tongue, etc.) would likely be some kind of crystal or crystalline structure.

@@ghostie2046 Yup.
i love your channel because while it is a lot like many other pokemon channels in what kind of content you do, i always learn something and walk away with new understanding, and that is an incredibly important difference that makes your channel amazing
Just saw Nux's video with you in, I freaked out when he said you. Also, your impressions were so on point that on a couple of the clips I couldn't tell you apart from the original!! Nice job
Fun fact: Trilobites were also thought to have stone lenses in their eyes (Calcium Carbonite again, too).
Generally, Calcium Carbonite in its various of its forms is REALLY common in organic life.
Seashells, Corals, Foraminifera, even Chalk is basically the "shells" of nanoplankton that fall to the bottom of the sea after their death and pressure turns them to rock
Lockstin, I loved this video, it’s very well done! Especially since you explained a lot of concepts in simple terms. Or maybe I’m just very familiar with all of this, rip (been studying organic chemistry for the last three days)
I love this channel, it’s like the magic school bus but more realistic and about Pokémon.
21:28 It's like a little semi-squishy rainbow Roomba snail.😆🐌
2:26 This confirms that his camera man is actually a Morty.
*”I kid you not, he turned himself into a rock. He called himself Rocky Gnoggin. Funniest $#@& I have ever seen.”*
Regarding carbon based life with mineral-y aspects, there's also the scaly-foot snail, which uses iron in its scales to help protect its foot.
2:19 lmao i have that rock lamp as bed light, exactly the same with the wooden base and everything

I don’t think the brain of Cthulhu is silicon based lockstin
Stardust Crusaders!?!? Hustle Castle’s art style reminds you of *Stardust Crusaders???*
Lockstin: *mentions SDC less than 90 seconds into the video*
Me, like 4 videos into binge watching what I’ve missed: it was a mistake to not do this sooner.
I just want you to explain science to me, I forgot midway through the video that this was even a pokemon video! You tell it so exciting and I just feel the passion
when im watching this im trying to remember all of this so people think im smart in physics class
22:48 I love that Over the Garden Wall reference.
I've always just seen them as arthropods, or any other animal with advanced exoskeleton, like let's say vertebrates never came to land, for some reason, and arthropods could've taken over any other niche available.
Or maybe just... a lot of animals get armor, idk it's a cool thing to think about, but I'd definitely bet on a lot of the actual rocks just being highly derived arthropods.
Him making a whole theory about rock Pokémon
Game Freak: bro it’s just a game we just thought ooga booga rocks are cool
Gnoggin: I will explain rock type Pokémon.
Also Gnoggin : Gives lecture about life and rocks.

Geodude: Can you not?
Wait EVEN locktin have normal sleep!I am so jealous as I can't sleep normally no matter what
12:07 DIAMONDHEAD gets a shout out!! :-D That made my day. Interestingly enough, another Ben10 Alien by the name of EchoEcho is also silicon-based.
Isn’t he essentially a sentient robot?
I'm glad someone else looks at fantasy creatures like pokémon and wonders what they taste like. For example, slime creatures need to be acidic to dissolve their food, and acid always has a sour taste, so slime creatures would be very sour indeed, with any other flavor derived from what it's eaten, so there may be jellied slimes that are fed a bunch of fruit and sugar to sweeten and flavor them, then a little bit is pulled off and used like jam.
*On today's episode Loggstin explains Gorons*
Here's an idea for scifi with silicon-based lifeforms: Their bodies are as hard and tough as glass or sandstone
In comparison to Terran lifeforms being as hard and tough as diamonds.
12:09 oh wow I didn't expect him to reference diamond Head but he is right that is a silicone based life form there are a bunch of those like chromastone pretty much the same as diamond Head but more powerful ,echo echo being living sound within a silicon containment suit , gravattack and gravattack straight up a miniature planet with gravity powers
Hey, the aragonite production is common to molluscs
That's how oysters form pearls: layers of aragonite and an organic mineral (maybe calcium carbonate)
I didn't know about the eyes tho. That is cool
Molluscs are so otherworldly
"Have rock hard parts"
Yeah they do
funny that you mentioned Diamondhead, cuz i was thinking of another Ben 10 alien during this video, Echo Echo (little white alien who can multiply but can be easily destroyed). it's mentioned multiple times that Echo Echo is living sound within a pure Silicon suit/body
The Rock says, "it doesn't matter what they're made of"
22:47
Over the Garden Wall LOL!
I like the New way you Do your Videos you are much more focused on the Real life examples and try to figure more natural solutions for your Theories and even if you Do crazy Theories they have a good base to be further developed like your Alchemy based Theories you should perhaps stay on the physical or alchemic ways with your Theories you are doing a great Job in those special cases
Taking AP bio last year has made Gnoggin much more enjoyable. Love you Lockstin
Maybe Rock-type brains are like 3D circuit boards.
I figured that Pokémon like Lycanroc was a regular animal, but it evolved to integrate silicon into its claws and horns. Water and grass would erode and weaken these, along with the interactions of the elemental energies from Arceus.
I actually got into the whole complexity of Carbon and Silicon bit in the video that i forgot this was supposed to be about pokemon
