Pokémon Legends: Arceus raised a LOT of questions about the history of the Pokémon universe. Today, we are tackling one of them. Why are the regional Pokémon from the game MISSING in the later games? One word: EXTINCTION! That's right, something caused the Pokémon to die off, leaving the current world without them. What was that cause? Well, it was YOU - the player! Yep, it's all your fault. So sit back and I'll tell you why.

If that's the route we're going with this, we have to talk about Lapras. There is a guy who said he spent his childhood afternoons breeding and releasing Lapras back in genII because the pokedex said they were endagered. Fast forward to genVII, now it says that due to peoples efforts wild Lapras' numbers have rise to the point it is no longer in risk of extinction

Honestly, given that Voltorb and Electrode are deliberately meant to resemble Pokeballs to serve as traps, I think it's likely that they transitioned from an apricot design to a more metallic design in order to continue tricking trainers who had largely switched to using more modern Pokeballs (presumably since the Apricorn Pokeballs were gathered unsustainably)

I think one problem with the Voltorb example is that they don't canonically reproduce naturally, and can only exist where Pokéballs exist. So it makes sense that they would be made of the kind of Pokéball that's in use. As metal Pokéballs became more popular, fewer wooden Voltorbs were created, and they eventually died out.
@betpokemon
@betpokemon 11 місяців тому

I think Ursaluna might just have been a trait that wasn’t useful enough for Ursaring to keep. Honestly, the Pearl Clan wardens might have been the only ones who could be bothered to evolve an Ursaring. Ursaring are already apex predators, so why would they bother to find a peat block and keep it until a full moon? Assuming they’re even smart enough to understand their own evolution requirements, not only would they be wasting energy to search for the item instead of say, searching for food, they would also be losing all the benefits of being bipedal for a power boost they didn’t need in the first place.
@Clover999X3
@Clover999X3 Рік тому

@hangsthemighty912 Рік тому
There are several Pokémon who need an object to evolve and if you have played any of the Pokémon Dungeon games, you can see how smart and able Pokémon are and the things that they use on themselves in order to even survive. (Like they have their own special items for health, culture, currency and carry such things as revival seeds) So I would say if an Ursaring wanted to evolve to Ursaluna, they could do so if they desired to do that, like a Pokémon can also decide not to evolve at all (I mean Pokémon on the wild btw.). If you want Pokémon to do battle they would have to be smart enough to know what you are telling them. Shoot I wouldn't go this route but on the anime Team Rocket's Meowth has a whole personality. And any Movie that focuses on the Pokémon only also shows the complicated lives they lead and how capable they are. And I highly doubt the Clans were evolving the Pokémon, seeing how both were very against taking the will away from Pokémon, they let Pokémon choose if they wanted to be a companion or not. And we're even offended by the player at first.

If they were as intelligent as the ones that have a full society, they wouldn’t be taking orders from humans or living like animals in the wild. 2, I didn’t say they weren’t capable of it if they wanted to, I said that, in the wild, there’s no real reason they *would* want to, again, as evidenced by the fact that you don’t encounter any Ursaluna in the wild while Ursaring are plentiful. 3, while yes, pokemon do have individual personalities, ones like Team Rocket’s Meowth or Sir Aaron’s Lucario that posses human level intelligence are very few and very far between And 4, Palina, a fellow Pearl Clan warden, tells the player that the clan at large is critical of her because she *wasn’t* forcing the Growlithe descended from the hero’s Arcanine to train harder, evolve, and become the Lord Pokemon, so there’s no reason to assume they wouldn’t be the same way about making sure the descendant of the hero’s Ursaluna also became an Ursaluna.

Personally, my expectation is that Arceus's plan was twofold: To send you from the future into the past to encourage humans and Pokemon to become symbiotic, but also sent you BACK to the future with the knowledge of how these Hisuian forms became extinct with the expectation that modern civilization would be able to bring them back. Peat may be gone from Sinnoh, but it can still be imported or possibly substituted with a synthetic. And today the region relies much more on renewables so its value as a possible fuel source is very much diminished. The same goes for apricorns: Gone from Sinnoh, still available in Johto, etc. Stantler may have lost its natural ability to learn the move, but a TM could be developed to teach it to captive Stantler. And so on and so forth.

I don’t know, I personally think that the voltorbs and electodes evolved not from being hunted, but for camouflage. As the trees were harvested, they began to lose more and more places to hide, they evolved to look more like the thing the trees were used for, the pokeballs. To me, it really wouldn’t make much sense for them to evolve with pokeballs if they were being hunted because they looked the same. That is why it would make more sense for them to evolve with the pokeballs so that they could camouflage with them (which we have seen them do in the anime)

@netatsake

That requires there to be a fossil. As far as I know, there's no recorded fossils of any of these pokemon, and that could be easily believed given that many of these pokemon (the evolutions at least) don't exist in the wild outside of select exceptions, such as the Ursaluna and Kleavor boss fights. In the entire game there is only one wild Wyrdeer, and it's unlikely that a fossil would have been made from it since many of the methods of rapid fossilization aren't present in its natural habitat. For a fossil to be present of many of them, it would have to have been because of the actions of the player - intentionally killing them in ways that would result in rapid fossilization, such as dropping them into a volcano or flash-freezing them in the tundra somewhere that would only ever be found by the player. Hisuian Growlithe might have fossils, but it seems unlikely with how Growlithe are typically highly resistant to heat. Some of them are also highly unlikely to be capable of being fossilized, such as Hisuian Lilligant. There are several that aren't mentioned in this video though, such as Hisuian Sneasel/Sneasler, Hisuian Lilligant, the Hisuian Starters (which aside from the three in town show up nowhere in the wild and only through Distortion Events, caused by Giratina) and a couple others I can't think of off the top of my head. However, with the returning presence of Giratina, and our ability to catch and possibly control it in BD/SP, it's very possible that it could be used to create controlled distortions for the sake of hunting down and potentially breeding some of those Pokemon. After all, the distortions specialize in pulling Pokemon from many different places and times. Case in point - Shieldon and Rampardos couldn't exist in Arceus without Giratina's distortions, and they don't exist in BD/SP without fossil regeneration.

The starter you get is brought from another reigon so it isnt our definition of evolution causing this. Its much more likely that in ancient hisui there is some sort of energy causing them to change forms. Possibly the spacetime rift.

For Voltorb and Electrode, doesn't it make more sense that the Apricorns were overharvested so humans started making pokeballs out of different materials and the Voltorbs and Electrodes just evolved (Not Pokemon Evolve) to resemble the more modern pokeballs?
@sh.7630
@sh.7630 Рік тому
I don't think so. Since Apricorns were the primary object used to start the production of Pokeballs it is reasonable that humans wanted to find a similar material that could possibly fill the absence of Apricorns once it was overharvested. And since Voltorbs and Electrodes were a living resemblance of the wood once used to make Pokeballs, they probably thought it was the material with most similarities and just decided to use it as a replacement.

@enchantmate Рік тому
With the voltorbs in a previous video it was mentioned that they may be disguising themselves as pokeballs to hunt humans or something similar and they may have evolved to look like current pokeballs to continue this.

@Axecon1

Minor complaint here - Rowlett (and by extension its evolved forms) are native to Alola so Hisuian Decidueye is probably an example of speciation rather than extinction. It likely evolved into its grass/fighting form as a result of the environmental pressures of Hisui and is the first instance of its kind. You could probably say the same for Hisuian Samurott and various of the other regional forms discussed in this game, although the extinction argument does apply to the majority of species in this video. Typhlosion is a weird case, and it's possible Hisui was the the original form of the Pokemon because ties to Spiritomb before it naturally migrated to the connecting Johto region where it multiplied and became the dominant form (Bird Keeper Toby has a great theory on this).

Actually, their presence in this game and region could imply that they were initially native to Hisui but got introduced to Alola (there are a lot of Pokemon that AREN'T native to Alola) or Rowlet (and its evolved forms) used to exist in Hisui but were rendered extinct. Worth noting is that Rowlet and its evolved forms, looks-wise, are based off of the barn owl, which is the MOST widespread owl species there is.

The player may have sped it up by completing the Pokédex, but it’s not like we were the only members of the survey corps working on the thing. It was inevitable.

I don’t think you are wrong per se, but you are likely not right on the application. It’s not so much Stantler being “bullied” into not using the special move mentioned, but only the ones that couldn’t use it survived. The ones that could use the move and evolved were hunted. Only the individuals who could not use the move, who would not previously have passed along their genes because it was a disadvantage, were now the only ones passing along their genes because it had become an advantage. Same with the Voltorbs they clearly evolved to look a certain way, either to hide or ambush prey. When there were no more apricorn’s or apricorn based pokeballs they essentially lost that environment they were adapted to fit into - so only those that looked a certain way (i.e. like modern pokeballs) survived.

I feel like in a weird way, Basculin/Basculegion are an opposite of this. They’re thriving most likely due to urbanization. Basculegion is a result of Basculin dying in massive numbers, most likely implying that the environment is not suitable for the species. Hisuian Basculin is even referenced to being more timid than it’s modern day counterpart which may be an aspect of this. Basculegion no longer exists because Basculin have found environments that are better suited to them, and they’ve become more aggressive, meaning they’re not dying off in such vast quantities

Studies show that in the last 40 years, humans have been responsible for the extinction of 60% of species. Compare that to the 10% of lost Pokémon from over 140 years. I'd say Arceus made the right call. And who knows, Wydeer and the other evos could come back in another region. Admittedly there is no hope for the species wide ones (Growlithe, Voltorb, etc.)

Here’s a thing about Basculin and Basculegion I noted a while back: Basculin is a Pokémon we seen from Unova, from across the ocean if we were to locate it like we do with the other Pokémon regions and their real world counterparts. Pokémon from Unova evolve in higher levels than other regions except for Basculin. This might be that the Hisui region was very hostile to the Basculin species, but still managing to adapt and overcome, while the Unovan Basculin, not needing to worry about the hospitality of the nature of its surroundings, not needing to adapt and evolve like the Hisuian counterpart, which you can interpret that as Unova being very much more calmer than the waters of Hisui as less Basculin die in Unova than they do in Hisui (because Basculegion is Water/Ghost type and also it apparently carries the souls of their fallen species with them… yeah, pretty dark). It could also explain why there isn’t any Basculin to be found in Sinnoh, since the waters could’ve been too rough for stable growth and adaptability, or human expansion pushed them out (or eaten, but then again that might bring a Basculegion problem with that).

a few corrections. 1. there is no way they could've ran out of peat, there is just SO much of it, I grew up in the Appalachian mountains where there are some of the biggest deposits of coal known to exist and I have seen how massive the mines are despite only just scratching the surface of the deposits, most mining operations in developed countries stopped because of the (compared to Africa or south America or asia) high labor costs NOT because of the mines drying up, also peat isn't fully unrenewable like coal, on top of this it is fairly easy to create in a lab on a much shorter timeframe, like how you can grow sapphires in a lab in a matter of a few weeks instead of a few million years. 2. just because the "wild" species went extinct doesn't mean the species as a whole did, many of the wild species of plants and animals humans domesticated now don't exist, its actually impressive what you can do in just a few hundred generations of selective breeding, look at the difference between a wolf and a pug, or the difference between a wild corn plant and a modern one, yeah every single bit of food you eat is genetically engineered, selective breeding is a form of genetic engineering just as gene editing is.

Scyther usually evolves into scisor using a metal coat. They probably stopped evolving into kleavor because steel is just a much more durable material than stone which I guess would still be caused by humans but whatever

The multiverse is a well-established concept within Pokémon to the point that different universes even have different Pokémon not native to other ones. It could just be that all of these Pokémon exclusive to this game very much are available in the future of that region it's just we did not get to see that version when we first played diamond pearl and platinum.

To be fair, the Pokémon that went extinct had it coming. They were involved in banishing Zorua and Zoroark to the cold, condemning them to become ghost types. Arceus, furious at their sins, brought a human to bring them to extinction, allowing the Zorua and Zoroark that died to rest in peace.

Okay but I have a theory for one of my favorite Pokémon that I’ve been wanting to explain. I think Braviary’s hisuian form vanished because of migration and competition. Wherever Rufflet and Braviary are found, you’re almost guaranteed to find Vullaby and Mandibuzz, both Dark types. Obviously the psychic type Braviary would be at a massive disadvantage here, as it wouldn’t be able to defend itself. But because Rufflet didn’t get the psychic type until evolution, it’s likely those that relied more on they’re physical abilities thrived in the environment, and as such the psychic type started to be bred out of the species entirely, until all that remained were Normal/Flying Braviary

Quick note: Hisui forms have been confirmed to appear in the newest installments Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, so perhaps Game Freak is going to do a complete overhaul and suddenly bring some of these lost evolutions back and pretend that they never left OR it has to do with the next games on going theme of Past and Future.

Here's a theory, the humans in the poke-verse were mass isekaied to the Pokemon world by Arceus, which is why the earliest humans seem unfamiliar with Pokemon in such a way that it's as if they or the Pokemon came from a different world, and why there's need for constant, ongoing research into these seemingly supernaturally powerful entities by humans, for the sake of survival.

@sarthakarora3212
@sarthakarora3212 Рік тому
hisuian zorua are migrated from unova. Unovan zroua couldn't survive in hisui and their ghosts came back for vengeance, hence it's a ghost normal type. (ghost coming back for vengence is the most common reason for them to appear.)
