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!

12:50 the dragon fruit is also known natively as "pitaya", so Drataya is dragon + pitaya, or Dragon Dragonfruit lmao
-
Love how Lockstin just comes across as a loose cannon in this video it's hilarious
-
21:20 "I'm smart, I swear." don't worry, we all have those moments lol
-
28:02 Sparta was Greek. It was a city-state. One with armor colors being the same as the ones Ares is often depicted with for some reason, even though they weren't patroned by Ares (common misconception, it's the purely fictional Spartoi who worked for Ares)
-
The little swirl on that first galaxsea is for stellar, which is elestrals version of shinies
-
Glauby comes from "glaucus" (a latin name for the blue dragon sea slug) and possibly "baby"! Edit: Drataya also comes from "dragon" and "petaya" (name for the dragon fruit in some languages)

BAKUGAN NEXT KING

Chrysoar = soar + boar + Chrysaor, the Golden Boar, son of Medusa and Poseidon, brother of Pegasus.
-
Aquarius is an air sign, not a water sign. A lot of people make that mistake because of the name. Considering that one card has the word Aquarius in the name and it's a bird it's an air type of some kind.

* Jolten (Jolt + Tenrec) is defiantly a Hedgehog Tenrec it even has the same color scheme. Tenrecs are a group of mammals endemic to the island of Madagascar. * Sinder seems to be based on the Satanic Leaf-tailed Gecko.

Love seeing Adrive's project he's been working really hard on it

Super cool to see you picking up Elestrals and seeing what it's all about. I recently played it with a group of Yugioh creator friends for the first time and had a blast. Definitely in a better state than the Yugioh TCG's meta and Pokemon's lack of interaction on your opponent's turn despite having a very solid and fun gameplay loop otherwise turns me away from it, so this blends both into a game that I adore. Just a shame that aDrive has lost a ton of subs because of the project, sometimes I guess Pokemon fans like what they like and don't want anything else from my experience.

This was so fun to watch, I would love to see you open more cards tbh
-
6:25 Glydesdale, especially the name, would make for a cool Flying-type evolution to a regional variant of Mudbray.

17:57 You're a kid now! You're a squid now! You're a kid! You're a squid! You're a kid! You're a squid! You're a kid now!
-
So cool to see you showing aDrive's project some love! It would be amazing to see you do an Elestrals explained video!

8:19 Ion is an atom/molecula with an electrical charge. The reference that Toxion is smol.

15:50 ♪He huuuurrrled his thunderbolt! ♪

5:33 Well considering it's also a different color, I'm banking on it being this game's equivalent of shiny.
