Yes, I know I misspoke about the Leaf Stone bit at the end, but the whole "level up in a mossy area" way to get a Leafeon still works with epigenetics. The environment of "mossy" or special areas are acting as the environment triggers to UNLOCK the genetic code. Fighting in a mossy area is forcing the Eevee to evolve in that direction to improve their battle prowess specifically in those environments, hence the genes becoming unlocked.

I watched this video more than 2 years ago and it inspired me to learn more about epigenetics. I was already enrolled in a biotechnology degree in college but I hadn't decided what I was going to specialize in yet (I'm Brazil we don't have majors and minors). After watching this episode of game theory I decided to enroll in an epigenetic course that was facultative for me and later I started working at a lab that did epigenetic research. Tomorrow I'll be presenting my final project to get my bachelor's degree. The theme of my thesis? EPIGENETIC! All because of a "silly UKposts video about pokemon".

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokémon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that’s not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won’t mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression again.

The fact that you think you're correcting him when he made a perfectly sensible analogy to prove a point just shows how over-your-head this probably went. when there's even a small chance that you're criticizing someone smarter than you, stop, think about what you're going to say, and then don't say it.

In Pokémon Master journeys they give a brief explanation to how Eevee evolves, they said Eevee has unique genetics that are broken up with different DNA allowing it to adapt to any stone and be able to have that part of their DNA be activated. Also their was one Eevee who couldn’t evolve because they said that Eevee’s DNA was “too broken” and it wasn’t able to react to any stones.

@dantesolomon5607 2 роки тому
Funny enough they did mention that the evolution stones produced low levels of radiation which triggered the evolutionary adaptation, some fan-made games even expanded on that. Pokémon Uranium used the idea in such a way that if an Eevee was exposed to nuclear radiation it evolved in a similar way becoming Nucleon. Pokémon Insurgence gave Eevee a Mega Evolution which blocked off the effect of the stones, but in exchanged unlocked it's ability to activate the genes and change forms at will.

My father, Yi Zhang, who is a Harvard professor who works on epigenetic, just watched your explaination on epigenetics, and he has two things to say. 1.) You did a good job on making the basis of epigenetics understandable by someone who isn’t familiar with it. 2.) But, you simplified to a point where a.) DNA is not locked, it is more whether or not it is accessible by proteins b.) The environment factor does not directly turn genes “on” or “off”, but to affect cofactors that are needed for the enzymatic activities of epigenetic enzymes. Overall, he said that you did a good job, and I agree that without your explaination, I, nor about a million other people, wouldn’t understand epigenetics at all.

I was about to say "what if I left my pokemon at the daycare" and how it would evolve there if it wasn't exposed to harsh battling conditions. Then I realised, they _don't_ evolve when left in a daycare (which I learnt after leaving my Magikarp there until it leveled up *past* it's evolution level and soon when I picked it up, I got a buffed up Magikarp, but no Gyarodos :c ). You can, however, pick up the pokemon from the daycare *before* leveling up to it's evolution level, and then level it up to evolve by - you guessed it - battling. Good job MatPat! Another great theory. PS: Or is this _really_ MatPat? No cringy joke before the intro? Naaaah this can't be

Do you have a theory on the friendship evolutions? There are some Pokémon that can only evolve when you and the Pokémon max out your friendship. Like Espeon, Umbreon, and Sylveon for example if you teach your Eevee a fairy move and then max out your friendship you get a sylveon, if you want an Espeon, just let it learn psychic moves and say no to learning fairy. Umberon, same thing, but don’t let it evolve until night. Frosmoth, also a Pokémon that evolves via friendship, but also can only evolve at night. Is that just a magic thing? or was it a magic/science thing?

@PlatinumAltaria 5 років тому
It's pretty clear that for most species of Pokémon they are doing something called "ageing". All organisms go through stages of maturity, either discrete stages or a smooth transition. Maturation does involve the expression of genes, but there's really no need to go on about epigenetics when we have a word for the phenomenon: growing up.
@dingochungis6814 5 років тому
@@PlatinumAltaria The only real issue for that is that pokemon don't evolve just from existing. They need to level up, through battling, to evolve. It's pretty obvious that a pokemon journey with a starter, in most cases, does not take several years, but yet the pokemon is still changing.

Possibly something like that based on temperatures? Humans have circadian (daily) rhythms, and circannual (yearly) rhythms, possibly more, and I'm fairly sure more than 2 different time keeper mechanisms have been identified. Stuff like that could also trigger annual changes. Epigenetic changes are usually meant to be long standing, potentially intergenerational changes that can occur faster than genetic evolution.
