The Kalos region in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y gave us many cool new Pokemon. But a lot of people HATED Klefki when it was first revealed. "Object Pokemon are uninspired," they say... but now in this video, I'm going to show you that Kleki is actually pretty clever for many reasons! Some are more plausible than others. But all are still worth mentioning.

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!

The keys thrown into the river there are so numerous that they need to get a dredger every two years to dig up the building "metal shallow" so that ship traffic doesn't get impeded. They also remove the locks periodically as their combined weight puts quite the unintended strain on the bridge.

  • I will always defend Voltorb as good design for one simple reason... it's design was used as a gameplay mechanic. Unlike all the other "things are pokemon" designs, they utilized the Voltorb design in the ovwrworld in the power plant, making you second guess if you were picking up an item or starting an encounter. They didn't do the same with the ice cream cone or keys which, in my opinion, makes Voltorb a much better design... even if it is a pretty simple one

    • Also will always defend it as a better design than flamigo. If I went up to a random person and told them to imagine this Pokémon that knows nothing about Pokémon, it would take a bit longer describing voltorb over literal flamingo (his neck tied in a knot is nonsensical and adds nothing to the design lore or gameplay wise, he’s just a flamingo)

    • People way too often mistake simple design for bad design. Those are not the same thing and I agree that voltorb's design is a good one. Electrode on the other hand just feels like they really wanted give voltorb evolution but didn't know what to do with it.

  • I never picked up on Klefki having a cleft lip, I always just saw it as "it's a Key Pokemon, so it has a standard looking keyhole on it" to tie in with the key motif, but now that you point it out it's something I'll always remember. I also never picked up on the music clef aspects of it either, I had just always assumed that it was klepto + theft + key for it's name, referencing it stealing keys that it likes and such.

  • Here's the the thing. In the first couple of generations the starters were based on animals with a fantasy design twist, but were still members of a species. Their designs were simple enough for each individual within a species to have its own individual, unique personality. For example, each individual venasaur or charzard can have its own unique personality and persona separate from other venasour or charzard. Your venasour can be a fierce king of the jungle while my venasour is a gentle giant. However, with newer starter designs their designed with a very specific personality as the fundamental aspect of its design where there is no way for each individual to have its own unique personality. For example, Cinderace has the soccer theme taking ower its design way too much were there is no way to tell your cinderace apart from my cinderace (or anyone else's). Cinderace is not a species; cinderrace is one character. Furthermore, cinderace's and incinaroar's designs don't allow the player to imagine or give their pokemon personality. Instead the game forces one personality onto the starter which again means that every cinderace is the same.
