One thing I noticed about Kitakami was that the Nosepass there always face north due to their magnetic noses. A nice attention to detail by Game Freak there.

Fun thing to note, is that Black Currants the fruit that Kieran is named after are actually a Dark Purple, and Carmine is a shade of Crimson >.> so their hair totally matches their names too X3

I'm fairly sure Ogerpon is supposed to be a citrus tree, not a peach. Peaches in Japanese media are mostly depicted as pink colored, similar to the old plush you see in Peachey's It makes more sense for Ogerpon to be a citrus tree to have an orange face. Also, the name Oger"pon" likely comes from "Ponkan" which is a species of citrus.

I kinda figured Ogerpon's face was actually an orange. 2 reasons. The phrase "You're comparing apples to oranges". Kitakami has loads of apples and were afraid of a creature with a orange. Also the Valencia orange. Which had a little mascot for the Fifa World Cup at one point in Spain. And this orange was imported to Spain. So Ogerpon could be from Paldea. Or its at least a reason for a orange looking Pokemon to show up when Scarlet and Violet are in a area based off Spain.

The 88 reference is so interesting! I also noticed how the toxic chain accessories that the Lousy Three wear are in the shape/form of 88!

In connection to Clay from Unova, Levincia is mentioned by an NPC near Paldea Reality to formerly be a port city for shipping out mined ore…

Fun fact: Billy and O'Nare are based on the concept of 'what if we made Sordward and Shieldbert but good'

I don’t think that Ogerpon and her trainer are from Paldea and here’s why: 1.) When you talk to Briar at the Crystal Pool she mentions that the energy there has been identified in other regions besides Paldea. 2.) The hair-style and clothing that Ogerpon’s trainer has (though just a silhouette) is very similar to the style of hair and clothing used by the Native Americans primarily the Navajo. 3.) The crystals in BW2 in Driftvail (like you mentioned) It seems more likely that Ogerpon’s trainer came from Unova and the crystals he brought came as the result of minimal terastal energy within Unova.

Since Ogerpon is the oni, not Momotaro, it appears to be based on the Ponkan or the Dekopon and not the peach.

Fun fact, Kieran’s battle theme actually includes part of the Unova trainer theme!

The Keiran punching the monument which revived the loyal 3, One theory I've heard was because he was holding the teal mask and a vague connection of its restorative powers to withered plants somehow resurrected the loyal 3.

I’m surprised no one’s mentioning this Ogrepon’s face is surrounded by an empty circle with 6 points much like the Terastal symbol, with 6 points and an empty center

Can't believe somebody speculated Perrin is a descendant of MAI, instead of Adaman. Marley will be so sad. 🤦🏻‍♂️

One thing to note the theme is the alpha wild theme when fighting ursaluna

I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact it added more Johto references, not just with pokemon but with the tunes you can play while taking Pics being straight from the GS radio

I heard Rumors the next legends game is based in Kanto. But we do deserve a game where they finally introduce the Original Kyurem.

The fact that Blueberry Academy is located in Unova has me wondering if any of the Unovan gym leaders or Iris or even Cynthia will visit the Blueberry Academy for a battle.

15:10 another thing to mention about the number 8 and the Loyal Three is that the shape of "8" looks like a chain, just like the ones the Loyal Three have in their designs

Ok, something I see no one point out is the small chromatic shift on Kieran in a slow zoom in on him in the scene before we fight him at loyalty plaza for the teal mask. While not overlycommon, I have seen this effect used in media to represent poisoning and hallucinations, though usually along side other effects. One notable series i remember this being in is Ninjago season 1, when characters get sprayed with venomari venom. Wave effects, a pulsing fish eye lense and colour distortiona are more common effects used to represent poison, but Chromatic shifts are still used. Considering that the loyal 3 are all poison types, and we theorise that the mystery pokemon from data mines is poison ghost, its a wonder if perhaps there's a light subtle hinting to a poisoning of his mind in a way. His anger is true, no doubt that he is truly angry and broken, but its being amplified and blown out of proportion by a slow drip of toxins by this mystery poison peach and loyal threes toxic chains. But that's just my theory. Some food for thought.
