Ghetsis definitely had a stroke that heavily deteriorated the right side of his body, it's a pretty frequent occurrence with strokes that one entire hemisphere of the body just gets heavily impaired and deteriorated.

Technically the error in Weezing's sprite can just be ignored if you look at it from the perspective that Weezing is tilted to almost be facing downwards.

I noticed Ghetsis rants a lot about "perfection" and that he would be the "perfect ruler of a perfect world." I wonder if this has something to do with the damaged right side of his body. It's possible that he is trying to compensate for his imperfect right side by trying to create a "perfect" world. This can also be seen how he treats N. He calls N a "freak," despite the fact that his right side is deformed.

I think Zekrom still has 4 hands. Its wings look exactly like its hands. I never noticed that until now

16:11 N's appearance also reflects this balance. Green hair [between Bianca's blonde and Cheren's "very dark blue"], black and white hat and shirts, greyish eyes, and his pendant has a mix of amber and blue, like the flames and blue-electricity of the dragons. Natural is also the musical symbol between Flat (Bianca- the lowercase b resembles a flat] and a Sharp (Cheren- the uppercase H resmbles a sharp). It's a musical region.

I’ve never understood the criticism of the gen 5 Pokémon. They all felt like they shared a cohesive style and you would be able to tell which gen they were from at a glance. Every gen since has felt like a strange mishmash of ideas and concepts that don’t always work together and most modern mons just feel goofy to me. If we are talking about some of the worst designs in the series then pretty much all of gen 7 are at the top.

Fun fact: N's character is is based on the concept "Mushin" which is the state of mind Taoist meditators attempt to achieve, wherein there is pure innocence and no knowledge of good and evil. This also translates to "no heart", which a term Ghetsis used to refer N.

As far as Ghetsis' drooping mouth, that's a common sign of stroke. Considering the blacked right arm, I'd say he likely had a bad experience at some point with Zekrom, and he got electrocuted so badly that he had a stroke. It's exceedingly rare, but there have been 9 confirmed cases where it happened

Loved the idea that Liepard is inspired by a leopard not changing its spots... as a phrase about deviousness! Mind blown!

The Vinilish line is also based on ice stalagmites. Very dangerous if you were ever hit by one

I never notice how Ghetsis had trouble opening the right side of his mouth. I should have picked up on that because I had a teacher back in highschool who had a condition I believe is called Bell's Palsy that caused the exact same thing to the poor guy. It's caused by facial nerve damage and even something cranial nerve damage and looked a lot like ghetsis when he sppoke. The first time I was in his classroom, I was really worried there would be a lot of mocking because highschoolers can be the absolute worst sometimes. But luckily he was rather well liked by teachers and students alike, always being a good sport about his condition.

19:39 - Pokemon Platinum is my favorite Pokemon game of all time, and Haxorus is my favorite non-Legendary Gen 5 Pokemon, so to know that both of them were in creation cycles at the same time is super cool to me. It's like destiny you know? LOL

Gen5 is my favorite 🤍🖤. What i liked about Ghetsis was his ruthlessness; he was not afraid to kill a child to reach his goals. He took Lily as a hostage in USUM and I wasn't suprised. The bit about the music and concerts is really cool considering gen5 has a beautiful soundtrack.

3:25 I'm okay with zekrom not having four hands, he looks, well, perfect, and he's my favorite legendary because he looks so cool, and I don't think he'd be as cool with four hands.

Wanna point out ghetsis most likely isn't "deformed" but burned. The blackened skin denotes some serious burns to the point that it's insane he can even use it to lift that crown, and his mouth is stretched taught just like burn victims with 3rd degree burns on his face. I feel like it's even mentioned somewhere that he's burned but I'm not too sure about that one. Either way the guy is charbroiled on his right side Edit:I was thinking about the hydreigon theory, seeing as his hydreigon has 0 friendship and is a nasty pokemon to begin with it's pretty likely it got sick of him at one point and tried to fight back. Kinda concerning to consider what was done in retaliation to make it still listen even after doing that much damage to ghetsis but this is ghetsis we are talking about so not exactly surprising

Bro knows how to attract viewers with those thumbnails

I'd actually prefer that the Unova remakes come next gen. Not only would it be more time to polish it, but it'd also follow a neat trend that each gen (except Kanto) gets their remake in the gen that is double their number. Gen 2 was remade in 4, 3 was in 6, and 4 was in 8. So 5 would then be in 10 if the pattern holds. Kanto is the exception (unless you count revisiting Kanto in the Gen 2 post games, but that's stretching it).

New York was specifically named after the Duke of York and Albany, who later became King James II of England. Once he became King, the dukedom returned to the Crown.

As an aside, a real issue with the Klink line is that the back sprites and front sprites turn the same direction from your point of view, which shouldn't happen. That essentially means they reverse just because you're looking at them differently.
