About the Gimmighoul theory, I believe that the Gimmighoul are actually the incarnations of the merchant that brought the ruinous treasures to the emperor.

It is stated that upon receiving such treasures, the emperor bathed the merchant in gold. This could be literal. In the past, a very peculiar method of execution in Spain (and I believe other european countries) consisted in pouring liquid gold into the throat of the victim (a bit hardcore). So I believe that the king literally bathed the merchant in gold, turning him into a golden ghost, Gholdengo.

This was the thing that made the ruinous treasures finally awaken, as it is stated that they were born from the accumulation of negative emotions over the years. They destroyed the castle and caused huge damage all over Paldea. They probably also split Gholdengo in many parts, thus creating Gimmighoul.

And guess where you can find wandering Gimmighoul most prominently? Exactly, at the region's ruins, remembering the place where he lost his life.

But that's just a theory (a game theory)

From a longtime Aussie fan, thought I'd just let you know that we don't use the name Ayers Rock anymore. It's exclusively Uluru. Here's to hoping for that Aussie region, would be my dream come true.

The distant land from where Quaxly came is a clear reference to Brazil.
Why?
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is based on the Iberian Peninsula. Which is not only Spain but also...Portugal.
Portugal has a strong connection to Brazil and it's pretty common to have brazilian people migrating to Portugal.
Quaquaval is obviously inspired by the Carnaval (it's literally a part of its name).
It's a dancer that looks exactly like the dancers from Rio de Janeiro's Carnaval.

I like Mabosstiff because of Arven's story, but it would have been more fitting for his ace to be Daschbun wouldn't it? Would complete his food themed team more

[KevYGO]

There's a great easter egg where if you find a serviper and a zangoose spawning close together they fight in reference to their gimmick.

Hassel's cryptic message in one of the gyms "All paths lead to the Great Crater of Paldea" makes more sense on repeat playthroughs. Since that means all story paths.

So, I just found a cool additional secret that I thought would be cool to share. The green festival poster from the Teal Mask reveal trailer have been hanging on a window and signboard on the outside of the Treasure Eatery in Medali. I even went back and checked a near release date playthrough to confirm it wasn't a new stealth addition. Another case of Game Freak slipping in something for us to notice after the fact.

Something worth noting is in early seasons of the Pokémon anime, you do see several characters, including Ash himself, holding the poke ball upside down.

[tanoshinderu]

The reasoning behind Gimmighoul holding a coin that looks like Bronzor is because Bronzor is an ancient coin Pokemon. The coin Gimmighoul holds doesn't look as ancient, but is still probably very old.

[MrDeathBunny]

Omg Arven you sweet summer child. Him holding the pokeball upside-down just makes me adore him even more.

More Lokix trivia!

Its base form got its color scheme from Kamen Rider Black, which coincidentally had a reboot movie released 1 month prior to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Its shiny form is based on Kamen Rider Zero One, which was released in 2019 around the time that Sword and Shield were released and development of Scarlet and Violet started.

Lokix's Pokédex entry has a picture of it performing a flying kick, which is the signature move of most Kamen Riders.

Its mechanical looking legs are a nod to the fact that the Showa era Kamen Riders were cyborgs, and its Dark typing is likely due to the Riders actually deriving their power from the same source as the evil organizations they oppose. The first two were even kidnapped and cybernetically modified directly by SHOCKER, a group of ecoterrorists trying to take over the world.

Its moveset is partially based on several classic Rider attacks, but ironically cannot learn Jump Kick or High Jump Kick.

Cool video! Some of the secrets you shared really opened my eyes like how Sada/Turo actually did the gym challenge too.

Speaking of them I can’t help but share this even if it’s not so much a secret?

One of the journals in the research stations says :

Our time machine research has yielded a triumph—a Pokémon from the ancient past/distant future!
I've named it Koraidon/Miraidon.
I was expecting one new life to treasure, but what fortune to be blessed with this gift as well!

“One new life to treasure” is definitely Arven which is sweet that they think Arven is their treasure too.

[M_Alexander]

Paldea has three new dog Pokémon but it also has several older dogs as well. So many good boys

[LukaLaurent]

"Ayers Rock" (pronounced Airs Rock), is now known as Uluru, for future reference. This is it's indigenous name!

A region based on Australia would just be all the snake and spider pokemon, haha. Don't forget the drop bears!

[diobrando]

The house in Zapapico reminds me of the house in Kanto that has the back to the field where you have to chase a Rocket member and the house in the Hoenn region that has a tunnel built into it as well!

[shinyrayquaza]

i love how scarlet and violet has so many cool secrets

[diobrando]

Also idk if this is good here but the DLC kinda reminds me of ScVi’s theme, past and future. The ancient legend of the Wukong Warrior and the futuristic theme of an under water technological civilization/school.

[MagikarpFisherMilkwort]

Just a small note about the Squawkabilly section - rockabilly wasn't the first form of rock and roll as much as a fusion genre between rock n roll and country/western or "hillbilly" music. Granted, the line is usually blurred because its often all referred to as "classic rock'n'roll" or "oldies."

[Peridoll]

I went into the Arven fight with so much confidence. I left it crushed and defeated. I was many levels above, but his Mabosstiff countered at least half my team. I still struggle with his team when I do the challenge too.

[kavinaderrow]

I think it's funny how we need to give Tandemaus a little privacy to do their thing. 😉 The kids don't know what's going on, but we older players do.
