The Kaskade Region is a region defined by change. Thanks to the presence of its local Legendaries, the seasons change at an accelerated schedule, quickly altering the weather at the drop of a hat. With the constant availability of many seasonal crops and many seasonal activites, the region has become an economic hub, and people from all around the world are immigrating to this area, bringing with them their cultures and traditions. As the economy grows and businesses clamor to take advantage, people are forced to choose between adapting to this change or sticking to their old ways, ambitious individuals set their sights on the forces stimulating this change and seek to control them for their own ends, and in the middle of all this, a new trainer starts off on the ever-present Pokémon journey to be the very best, like no one ever was.What changes await this region next?The Kaskade Region is a series of Pokémon fan videos created by Lockstin of Gnoggin with art commissioned by various artists. They provide details about his fan-made Pokémon region, which is based on the Pacific Northwest of North America, and illustrate all the different themes common to all Pokémon games, from the natural Fakemon (or Lockemon in this case), the regional variants of already-exisiting Pokemon, and the box-art Legendaries, to the Pokémon professor, Gym Leaders, Elite Four and evil team.Also, the names for the two game versions are Pokémon Blazing Bloom and Frigid Fall, although a single fangame known as Swirling Seasons is in development as well.The project is completed as of June 14th, 2022, with a new project called Pokémon Legends Neo: Ghetsis beginning just one month later on July 15th, 2022. | |

Dying Town | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_1045c71a | comment |
Dying Town: Bent Town is located in the middle of the southeastern Kaskadian desert and is slowly losing residents. That is, until the local gym leader Kaiba made a deal with Amaze-All and brought more manufacturing jobs to the town... something that his younger brother Tate takes issue with. | |

Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Averted, while one of the Cataclysmic Quartet is named Pestilation, none of the four have outright motifs on the Horsemen, and Lockstin admits that he thought that designing Lockémon explicitly based off of them would be too easy. | |

Multinational Team | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_14848fa3 | comment |
Multinational Team: The eighth gym (Port Alki's uptown gym) counts as this. All its trainers come from different foreign regions with associated Pokémon, and the gym leader Trip is very well-traveled and makes a point of using Pokémon with foreign regional variants on his team, like Galarian Rapidash and Alolan Persian. The Elite Four counts for this year only, since this year, there is an exchange program where the local Elite Four go to compete in other countries and other Elite Four members come to the Kaskade region to challenge the local trainers. The representatives come from all four corners of the globe; Kokoro is from one of the Japanese regions, Cleary is from one of the European regions, Catalina is from one of the Central American regions, and Pemba is from one of the African regions. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Not for the most part, but there are a few introduced Lockemon that definitely have darker inspirations. The Ghost/Fighting-type Woond is a military hound that was killed in battle, but roused itself from the dead because it wasn't ready to stop serving its country. It is Covered with Scars and has lost parts of its legs, but replaces them with limbs made of ghostly ectoplasm, thus having literal phantom limbs, fueled by a literal purple heart. Folleming is an Electric/Psychic-type rodent that travels in small groups, where the leader "guru" Folleming (which possesses a long cult-leader-esque beard) mind-controls its followers. It combines elements of the myth of Suicidal Lemmings that follow each other off cliffs, and the Oregon-based Cult Rajneeshpuram. Estoe and Perpetua, two Psychic/Poison-type Lizard Folk-like alien Pokémon that are based off of nuclear energy. All of the Ultra Beasts included in the Kaskade region, being based on both Lovecraftian eldtrich horror and biblical apocalypse tales. Lamentu in particular is meant to have patterns alluding to a slit neck of a sacrificial lamb. | |

The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_19ba91b5 | comment |
Home Field Advantage: From the second gym onwards, the gym battles have weather effects applied to the field right from the start, without any Pokémon having to use any moves. During your battle with the Champion, he says that a random set of weather conditions will be implemented to keep things interesting... except that since it's his arena, "random" means the best combination of weather conditions to hamper your team or benefit his own. | |

The Rival: Two in this game: Your first rival is Lark/Wren, the opposite-gendered player character that you didn't choose, like Brendan/May or Calem/Serena. They also turn out to be more antagonistic, as they steal a starter from the Professor's lab like Silver, and have a dutiful loyalty to the evil organization's boss, do morally dubious things in their name, and eventually are fired by them like Bede. Your second rival is Jay, a cheerful, 10-year-old new trainer that becomes your junior, similar to Wally. The Pokémon catching tutorial also proceeds with you showing him how it's done. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: Effort is made to provide at least one Pokémon for every unused type combination thus far. The local weathergy has provided many different new weather effects, and also caused the local Castform to have a form for every different type of weather around, encompassing all 18 types. In this region, Rotom can take other forms by phasing into different machines, including a computer server, an arcade machine, and whatever Mechanical Abomination Amaze-All is cooking up at the end (unsurprising considering it is one of the mascots of Amaze-All). There are even enough appliances to give it one form for every type in the game. | |

Recurring Element | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_2a552d44 | comment |
Recurring Element: For all those common to Pokémon: Grass starter based on prehistoric fauna? Llampas, Danfluff, and Alfalphalops, based on a camelops. Fire starter based on a member of the Eastern Zodiac? Therpal, Aspfault, and Tarmendoa, based on the snake. Water starter based on a weapon/warrior? Burbwhirl, Spoutlaw, and Vaquamael, a Cowboy-motifed bug with a focus on water whips. A Pika-clone? Guruchi, a hydroelectric beaver. Com Mons that include a regional bug, bird, and critter? That would be the Sighlo line, the Kwaile line, and the Chewmunk line. Chewmunk breaks the mold slightly, as it only evolves into Cheekat via friendship, making them much rarer in the wild. Two Olympus Mons to serve as the box-art Legendaries, one red and one blue? Those would be Manadza for BlazingBloom, and Arctikull for FrigidFall. Magikarp Power small fish evolving into huge beast? Rowviar and Sanook, a small salmon egg evolving into a saber-toothed salmon as big as a canoe. A pseudo-legendary? Buwuve, Wasgrowl, and Worcane, a Water/Dragon orca whale-wolf-wasgo hybrid. Regional professor named after a plant? Professor Fir, whose research focus is the weather system of the Kaskade region and the phenomena known as "weathergy". Eight gym leaders, each specializing in a different type? Eight, yes, specialties, nope! Each Gym Leader has a team of Pokémon that more relates to their profession and personality more than a type, like construction, forest ranger, or farmer. And the same applies to the Elite Four; they too battle with themed teams instead of type specialities. Fossil Revival? Not quite; you're instead reviving frozen remains from the Ice Age, resulting in Ice-type Ice Age Pokémon. An evil team to thwart? The Amaze-All Mega-Corp, dedicated to improving its business no matter what it has to do. Rivals? Yep, and you get two, one your opposite gendered counterpart Wren/Lark, and the other your new junior Jay. | |

The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_2b9affed | comment |
Dirty Business: A few characters discuss the idea that selling out to Amaze-All, however morally unpalatable, is necessary to get by in a world so full of its technology. Both Kaiba and Professor Fir confess to doing this; Kaiba opened his hometown to Amaze-All warehousing and production jobs to save it from being a Dying Town, and Professor Fir, despite how much he distrusts the company, sold the Steel Whirlygig technology to it to gain more money than his research grants could provide. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: As Professor Fir discovers in his findings, some of Castform's new weather forms and the new secondary abilties it grants have rather detrimental side effects. Its Psychic form, obtained via Psychic Terrain or the new Psychic Field weather condition, increases the power of its allies' moves, but it will also start meditating and not use anything other than status moves. The effect lingers for a turn if you switch it out to another Pokémon, thus giving the new Pokémon a power boost for one turn. Its Dragon form, obtained via an Infinity Energy-infused Weather Gem, will boost its offensive and defensive stats every turn... but will also hurt itself with slowly increasing damage every turn as well. Its Dark form, obtained via a blood moon-infused Weather Gem, slightly boosts all its stats, but it becomes so michevious that it won't listen to any of its trainer's commands. On the bright side, the stat boosts stay if the weather changes again and it switches to a new form. Its Steel form, obtained via a Steel Whirlygig, allows it to alter the magnetosphere to clear other weather effects, boost its and its allies' move accuracy, and effectively absorbs all Electric moves... but at the cost of Shapeshifter Mode Locking it into Steel form until the Whirlygig is broken, and also possibly mentally traumatizing it. | |

Distaff Counterpart: Kituff and Beadamup serve as this to Riolu and Lucario. Both are Fighting->Fighting/Steel bipedal animals, but where Lucario is a jackal, Beadamup is a cougar. Where Lucario is more masculine and known for being calm and composed, Beadamup is rough-and-tumble and based on roller derby girls — also a case of Female Feline, Male Mutt. Where Lucario can manipulate its aura as a special power, Beadamup has Magnetism Manipulation that allows it to control beads of metal as weapons, and can also float and skate around on its metal cat toe beans. | |

Ominous Visual Glitch | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_30d2689a | comment |
Ominous Visual Glitch: During the sequence of Amaze-All advertisements, the RotomDex mascot glitches out a few times, often when it starts cheerfully proclaiming that everything Amaze-All does is above board and all rumors that they engage in dubious practices are simply untrue. When introducing the Champion Yazin's team, the camera and voiceover briefly get a ghostly tone when it introduces a new Pokémon called Orbtholod, and when introducing his Rotom, the camera briefly glitches to show a new Spiritomb-esque Rotom form named "Rotomb". While looking at the many big corporate buildings in Port Alki, the video starts to take a look at one of them before it glitches out to show two very eerie shapes before promptly moving on. These turn out to be Ultra Beast-like invading creatures. Even the narration glitches out every time it tries to say Endram-Odai's name. | |

The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_319e101e | comment |
Amplifier Artifact: As Professor Fir finds out, giving a Castform a Weather Gem allows it to absorb more different types of ambient energy or weather elements, such as Infinity Energy, fighting spirit or insect pheromones, to give it different forms via its Forecast Ability. A Steel Whirlygig, one of Fir's inventions to give his Castform the Steel type, does a similar thing... but it also locks Castform into that form until sufficient damage breaks the Whirlygig, and Castform does not enjoy being in this form at all. | |

Law of Cartographical Elegance: The entirety of the Kaskade region is a perfect rectangle divided into four perfectly rectangular quadrants by a mountain range and a large river. Downplayed in that there is a highway leading off the map to the south and north, but it is unknown if it is traversable by the players. | |

The Man Behind the Man: While Tom Bezzle had his own business-minded schemes, his Orbtholod was also influencing and mind-controlling him to set up schemes of its own, to help its masters, the Ultra Beast-like invaders. It's also implied that it was the Orbtholod's knowledge that enabled Amaze-All to create technology that could control even Legendaries like Manadza and Arctikull. | |

GrayAndGreyMorality | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_3d219441 | comment |
Another theme present throughout is morality. A number of characters, including several Gym Leaders, are put into situations where they have to (or already have) twist or let their morals slide in the pursuit of a greater goal. The prior example of Kaiba selling out to Amaze-All to save his Dying Town is one such case. The main villain, Tom Bezzle, is already shown many times to have let his moral slide in the pursuit of convenience at all costs, whether from allowing his corporation to gain dominance by any means, his lack of care for privacy in the name of convenience, and increasingly shady actions. Even Professor Fir is noted to have let his morals slide in regards to the selling of the Steel Whirlygig (a held item that allows Castform to change into the Steel Type, but at the expense of making the Pokemon uncomfortable and deeply traumatized) to Amaze-all, in exchange for money that could keep his lab going for ten years longer than any grant could. | |

New Technology Is Evil | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_4c6205c5 | comment |
New Technology Is Evil: Zigzagged. A few characters discuss their discomfort with Amaze-All, saying that although their Poryphones, Porywatches, and instant delivery is so convenient and useful, allowing them so much access into their lives and giving them so much power over them is unnerving. The Professors don't trust Amaze-All (both having known Tom Bezzle in their school years), with Fir using their tech with reservations, and Menzie having borderline Technophobia — she doesn't own a Porywatch, barely uses a computer, writes all her notes by hand, and communicates by courier Kwaile. At the same time, the main character has no issue with technology, having grown up with it all their lives, and it has undoubtedly made the Kaskade region a far better place to live for everyone. If anything, it's not the tech that's evil, but the Mega-Corp who has a monopoly on it. | |

Green Aesop: A few Pokémon have obvious environmental inspirations, and Lockstin isn't shy about describing them. Rascoom is a Fire/Steel-type steel-jawed raccoon that was initially seen as a pest around cities until everyone realized how good it was at consuming trash, making them more tolerable. Its introduction video also mentions the Canada-Philippines waste dispute and how the trash in question ended up at a waste-to-energy plant. Bagoul is a Ghost-type Pokémon that is literally a discarded plastic bag that was possessed by a wayward spirit. The Eecroach line are Grass/Bug-type insects (aphids, mosquitoes, and cockroaches) that infest buildings and grow over them like wild grass, as if they are the embodiment of nature reclaiming urban environments. | |

Fantasy Counterpart Culture: As mentioned, the Kaskade region is based on the Pacific Northwest of the United States, specifically, the area around the real-life Cascade mountain range. Practically speaking, it's the result of Oregon and Washington state being overlaid over each other, with added bits of northern California, western Idaho, and southern British Columbia brought in on the edges. For specific city-based examples, Shayklind Town and Chapinook City are based on Ashland and Salem in Oregon state respectively, and the resident Mega City Port Alki is a fusion of Seattle, Oakland and Vancouver. | |

Central Theme | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Change, from seasons and circumstances to immigration and emigration, is a constant theme throughout this series, as well as what one does when confronted by it. Do you change to match? Do you leave? Do you stand your ground and refuse to change? Or do you do everything in your power to change things again to the way you want them? In the region's opening mythos, after the land was created by Groudon, its hot weather attracted Manadza from the south, who liked the land and whose fiery powers turned it into a perpetual summer. After a while, Manadza went into hibernation, and as the land cooled down, Arctikull ventured down from the north to settle in the land, locking it in perpetual winter. Eventually, the cold reached Manadza and awoke it from hibernation, who then began to turn the region back to summer, one section at a time. But Arctikull saw the changing land and resolved to change it back to winter, one section at a time. Eventually, both decided to empower Chewmunks to become their scouts — Tamunk and Temunk of spring and autumn, causing the game of seasonal musical chairs that has lasted to the present day. To use the Gym Leaders as examples: Adamo is an immigrant from Brooklyn/the Unova region, who is tasked with building the Chapinook City gym (and acting as its substitute Gym Leader) and the bridge that connects the city to the region's Mega City Port Alki. Once he's done, he's planning on settling there permanently. Caela is a park ranger at Tso-Lo Falls, a nature retreat, whose parents immigrated from Galar and Kalos. People come to this location from all over the world to do soul-searching and find themselves, and she's dedicated to helping them do so. The brothers Kaiba and Tate are Foils for each other in how they handled change. Both of them grew up in Bent Town, which was slowly dying due to lack of industry. Kaiba swore to do everything he could to help his hometown survive, and did so by making a deal with Amaze-all to bring manufacturing and warehouse jobs to the town, which did indeed revitalize its economy. His younger brother Tate, meanwhile, decided to leave his hometown to find his destiny elsewhere, and now helps people cross the river to reach the other quadrants where all the jobs are. Both of them have issues with each other; Kaiba is disappointed that Tate couldn't change with the times and abandoned his hometown, and Tate resents Kaiba becoming some "corporate Mudsbray". Mary and John are an elderly farming couple that have worked on their family ranch all their lives, and have a huge family to match. They espouse traditional family values and raising their family right. Several other trainers on their ranch follow Tate's point by mentioning how hard it was to leave their families behind, but feel like it's the right choice in the end. Elna is an eccentric cook and seamstress that she started off not knowing what she wanted to do or be, so she just started dabbling in everything she could think of, and although she wasn't good in any of them, she found particular joy in sewing and cooking and kept practicing until she found her place. Zlata is a punk, a Gamer Chick and a streamer, who revels in her youth. Bullied just for being who she was, she found comfort in her dad's old arcade games, and isn't about to let any stuck-up adults tell her how she should act. Trip is a Hipster, dislikes labels with a passion, believes you shouldn't care what other people call you, and his only creed in life is "Be Yourself". Moreover, he is a victim of change as Amaze-All is relocating his gym to a more modern structure closer to their corporate headquarters, which he has mixed feelings about — he needs Amaze-All's funding and the new gym is really hip with the latest tech, but he'll still miss the old one. Another theme present throughout is morality. A number of characters, including several Gym Leaders, are put into situations where they have to (or already have) twist or let their morals slide in the pursuit of a greater goal. The prior example of Kaiba selling out to Amaze-All to save his Dying Town is one such case. The main villain, Tom Bezzle, is already shown many times to have let his moral slide in the pursuit of convenience at all costs, whether from allowing his corporation to gain dominance by any means, his lack of care for privacy in the name of convenience, and increasingly shady actions. Even Professor Fir is noted to have let his morals slide in regards to the selling of the Steel Whirlygig (a held item that allows Castform to change into the Steel Type, but at the expense of making the Pokemon uncomfortable and deeply traumatized) to Amaze-all, in exchange for money that could keep his lab going for ten years longer than any grant could. | |

Big Brother Is Watching: The Amaze-All Corporation prides itself in always knowing exactly what their customers want and where they are to deliver to them promptly, by keeping track of everyone's everyday lives with their Poryphones and Porywatches, their Goomaze Home devices, their engineered Vibat (regional evolution of Golbat) Pokémon, their Kaskadian Sudowoodo living cell towers, and even their artificial robot kitty Pokémon Botnyack. Accusations of privacy invasions are naturally overblown… as far as they're concerned. The post-game takes it up to eleven when it's revealed that he wants to set up towers all over Mt. Spectoul and spread its mystical aura (which makes it easier for people to understand their true feelings) all over Kaskade, allowing Amaze-All to know exactly what everyone truly desires before they even do and serve them accordingly. Or rather… it's the plan of the Orbtholod that want to use the power of people's souls to open an Ultra Wormhole. | |

Weather of War | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_5dd0b462 | comment |
Weather of War: The main feature of the Kaskade region is that several of its Pokémon exhibit strange weather energy ("weathergy"), allowing them to produce more varied battle weather effects beyond the usual sun, rain, hail, and sand. There is now one type of weather for each Pokémon type (with one move and one ability to activate it), divided into three different sub-categories, and one weather of each category can be active on the field at any one time, allowing for a large variety of weather combinations (and terrain combinations too). Climate-based weather includes Fire-type harsh sunlight, Water-type rain, Ice-type hail, Dark-type blood moon, and Normal-type fog. Irritant-based weather involves filling the air with some form of material, like Rock-type sand, Ground-type dust, Grass-type pollen, Bug-type pheromones, Poison-type smog, or Fairy-type fairy dust. Energy-based weather involves covering the battlefield with some type of energy, like Fighting-type aura, Ghost-type cursed winds, Psychic-type cosmic rays, Dragon-type arcane power, an Electric-type thunderstorm, or the Steel-type magnetosphere. The Strong Winds of the Flying-type are special, since they not only clear all existing weather conditions, but also boost the power of the next weather move used, granting it extra power and effects. | |

Those Wily Coyotes | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_5dffa119 | comment |
Those Wily Coyotes: The Mythical Pokémon Wicoot is the epitome of the wise, wily trickster. It roams the world, negotiates between the other Legendaries, possesses moves like Hoodwink (to switch its stats around) and Hornswoggle (Playing Possum to weaken the opponent), and after you successfully catch it for the first time, it escapes its Poké Ball in the overworld and runs away! | |

It is also mentioned that it invested in and eventually bought out the Starbyss coffee chain (counterpart to Starbucks) and the Mega taxi service (counterpart to Uber). | |

Eggshell Clothing: Kwaile, the standard bird Com Mon of Kaskade, wears an eggshell half as a helmet. Fittingly, its evolutions grow up to be Crazy Survivalists. Gneckle is a baby goose that is so grumpy, it never comes out of its egg even after hatching, instead remaining affixed to its seaside rock like a goose-necked barnacle with only its head poking out. It only comes out after it evolves into Rabyoose. | |

Author Appeal: As a resident of the Pacific Northwest, Lockstin makes effort to include as many aspects and local cultures into the region as possible. Gnoggin has several videos linking Pokémon to alchemy, and the box Legendaries Manadza and Arctikull both possess alchemical symbols on their bodies; Manadza having the symbol for calcination (heating things up), and Arctikull the symbol for congealation (freezing). | |

Interface Screw: When the protagonist faces off against Endram-Odai, just looking at it gives them such a migraine that it makes it hard to concentrate on their Pokémon or remember what they can do, which translates to all the words in the menu and text boxes, as well as the Pokémon sprites in the menu, being turned into gibberish. Hope you (the player) remember how you arranged your Pokémon and their moves! | |

Signature Move | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_675056e4 | comment |
Each of the starters has an ability that neutralizes the weather effect created by the Signature Move of the Pokémon strong against it. Alfalphalops's Fluff Buff move fills the air with pollen, but Burbwhirl's line has the Bubble Helm Ability that protects it against air quality changes; Vaquamael's Whirlduel creates a rainstorm, but Therpal's line is literally Hydrophobic and immune to rain and snow; and Tarmendoa's Thermal Vortex creates a drought, but Llampas's line possesses the Ability... Droughtproof (and temperature-proof too). | |

The Elite Four counts for this year only, since this year, there is an exchange program where the local Elite Four go to compete in other countries and other Elite Four members come to the Kaskade region to challenge the local trainers. The representatives come from all four corners of the globe; Kokoro is from one of the Japanese regions, Cleary is from one of the European regions, Catalina is from one of the Central American regions, and Pemba is from one of the African regions. | |

MacGuffin Delivery Service: The games' plot kicks off like this. From the starting town of Shayklind, Professor Fir asks the player to deliver something to his fellow regional Professor Menzie, since he doesn't trust Amaze-All to do it without... issues. However, since he doesn't know exactly where she is as she's often bouncing around various archaeological or historical sites, it'll be a pretty long adventure, so they might as well do the gym challenge while they're at it. And if that's not enough, there's a strange person following you, trying to get that package for whatever reason... | |

Meaningful Name | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Oh boy, does the creator like his Meaningful Names. Virtually all of the Fakemon created for this region have at least two components to their names that directly parallel their design, and most have a lot more. As just one example, the box-art Legendary of BlazingBloom is Manadza, the Legendary of summer, a Fire/Psychic lizard from ancient times with a flaming feather-headdress and magical fire powers (making it a pyromancer). Components of its name include "Mana", "lizard", and the Numu words "tabodza" ("lizard"), "tadza" ("summer"), and "ma'na'we" ("a long time"). On the human side, we have the CEO of Amaze-All, Tom Bezzle, whose name isn't very far from "to embezzle". | |

Endram-Odai is loosely inspired by the red dragon from the Revelations of Saint John, or more specifically a Christian conspiracy theory that the end times would begin when the red dragon nebula passed through the Andromeda constellation (which is also known as the fairy constellation in China). Endram-Odai, which is Dragon/Fairy-type, has seven crowned 'heads' represented by its seven pairs of eyes reminiscent of the nucleus in the nebula, and ten horns. | |

Underground Monkey | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_6e7a3cd | comment |
Underground Monkey: The Kaskade region continues the trend of Pokémon regional variants. An Normal/Ice Raticate, referencing how the area has a large rat infestation, and how dry ice is commonly used as rat poison. A Normal/Poison Skuntank, referencing... well, weed. A Normal/Steel Exploud, which is a Shout-Out to Nirvana and the grunge scene. A Ground/Fairy Excadrill, which has a crystal head instead of a drill head. A Bug/Dragon Yanma and its regional evolution, Yanmage, based around the Dungeons & Dragons scene. A Rock/Ghost Palossand made of river pebbles instead of sand. A Normal/Rock Ambipom, which is a skilled rock-thrower based on the mythical agropelter. An Ice/Poison Crabominable, which is based on a gorilla crab. Mienflux, an Electric/Fighting regional evolution of Mienfoo, which is based on a taekwondo-using wolverine. A Normal/Steel Bidoof and Psychic/Steel Bibarel, referencing all the iron in their teeth, and for Bibarel's Psychic-typing, the urban legend that iron in one's teeth allows one to listen to radio signals. A Grass/Ground Tropius based on a redwood tree, twice as tall as its regular variant. Water/Ghost Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar, which are based on forest mist. A pure Grass-type Bellsprout, based on a cobra lily, and a single regional evolution, the Grass/Psychic Drosabell, based on the carnivorous drosera/sundew plant. A Steel/Ghost Drifblim developed by Amaze-All to deliver packages. An extra-tall Steel/Psychic Sudowoodo that serves as a living 5G cell tower for Amaze-All's network. Porygon⍵, a regional evolution of Porygon2 that was perfected by Amaze-All's programmers. Vibat, a regional evolution of Golbat that allows Amaze-All to listen in on anyone they wish. A pure Water-type Bruxish that more resembles the bubble-eyed goldfish, and has giant cheek pouches that allow it to blow bubbles and produce healing liquid, as a combined reference to Seattle's famous Pike Place Market and the Gum Wall. A Water/Grass Azurill line that is based on bladder kelp. Fighting/Grass Gurdurr and Conkeldurr that are based on lumberjacks and wield progressively bigger tree trunks. Normal/Ice Bunnelby and Diggersby that are based on the arctic hare. A Diancie found in Spectoul Mountain (which is based on the spiritually-charged Mt. Shasta), representing the ancient Lemurians. It aids you when the Orbtholods try using the Soul Power of its home for insidious ends. A Dragon/Ice Lapras based on Sharlie, the Idaho Paddler, whose ice-covered back is too slippery to ride. A Psychic/Fighting Jynx that has taken up both martial arts and pole dancing to attack all around itself with psychic staves. A Water/Psychic Solosis, Duosion, and Reuniclus based on tardigrades. Ghost/Poison Phantump and Trevenant based on poisonous mushrooms and fungi taking over the possessed logs. A Normal/Fire Dubwool that has a plaid-patterned coat, a superb sense of balance, and blows fire from the pipes sticking out of its body, in reference to Portland's own Unipiper. Kaskadian Snover and Abomasnow, which have much less snow on them. A pure ghost Golett based on a woven soul-holding Chinookan basket, with a new regional evolution, the Ghost/Rock-type Golgre, based on the mammoth-like dzunukwa or basket ogress. Luxray and its pre-evolutions are an inversion. Since there's a Kaskadian Ice Age Pokémon named Vaicear that is the ancestor to Luxray, it's specified that the Ice-type Kaskadian Luxray is the original Luxray and it's the Sinnohnan Luxray that is the regional variant. | |

Sudden Name Change: The plot video changes a couple of Lockémon names. The Ice/Dark ursine Legendary of winter was originally named Arctoyield, but was renamed to Arctikull because it sounded cooler. The Fire/Steel racoon Pokémon was originally named Coonsoom, but was changed to Rascoom to avoid the ethnic "coon" slur in its old name. In the defense of Lockstin, he admitted that he wasn't aware of that when he originally came up with the name and neither was the editor. | |

Throughout the game, you encounter quite a few Pokémon with motifs of Mind Manipulation, such as Drosabell, Folleming, Kaskadian Trevenant, and Phisnooz and Telemac. While some of it can be due to the idea that they evolved to match the spiritual air of Mt. Spectoul, it also foreshadows the overall threat of the post-game. | |

Biblical Motifs | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_7a6eac7f | comment |
Biblical Motifs: The post-game villains all draw their inspirations from the Bible. The Cataclysmic Quartet are inspired by many beasts described in Revelation. Pestilation (a Flying/Poison winged scorpion with its claws as feet and its head on its tail) is based on scorpion-tailed locusts with torturous stings. Revylon (a Ground/Fire leonine beast with an extra mouth on its tail) is based on fire-breathing cavalry beasts with lion heads, horse bodies, and snake tails. Leoseace (a Water/Dark long-necked leopard with six jawed tails) is based on the seven-headed biblical Beast of the Sea, as well as the serpopard. Lamentu (a Psychic/Fire feminine ram with seven eyes and a red neck) is based on both the Lamb of Revelation and the Lamb of Sacrifice, as well as the Mesopotamian goddess Mamitu. Endram-Odai is loosely inspired by the red dragon from the Revelations of Saint John, or more specifically a Christian conspiracy theory that the end times would begin when the red dragon nebula passed through the Andromeda constellation (which is also known as the fairy constellation in China). Endram-Odai, which is Dragon/Fairy-type, has seven crowned 'heads' represented by its seven pairs of eyes reminiscent of the nucleus in the nebula, and ten horns. | |

Vitisquash is a Normal/Grass Bigfoot-esque ape that has found its purpose in life farming and squishing grapes with its bare feet, thus leaving purple footprints wherever it goes. Its evolution, the Poison/Grass Dionysseur, is a Roman emperor-esque white-furred ape that has turned into a true connoisseur of wine, and the item required to evolve it, the Bacchus Laurel, can only be found after a long cryptid-hunting-esque Fetch Quest. | |

Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Invoked specifically for the typings of the four main Legendaries of the region, which are based on the four seasons. The Fire/Psychic-type Manadza (representing summer) and the Ice/Dark-type Arctikull (representing winter) cancel each other out in both directions, and both are strong against the Grass-typing shared by Tamunk and Temunk. However, Tamunk's Fairy-type being strong against Arctikull's Dark-type represents spring following winter, and Temunk's Ghost-type being strong against Manadza's Psychic-type represents fall following summer. | |

Orbtholods look like a cross between turtles, octopi, and Starfish Aliens that can psychically control people, the Cataclysmic Quartet Pestilation, Revylon, Leoseace, and Lamentu look completely alien with too many eyes and/or too many mouths, and Endram-Odai is a literal Space Whale with a Body Of Stars and way too many eyes, and just looking at it can give you a migraine. Even the narration glitches out every time it tries to say Endram-Odai's name. | |

Hipster: Llampas, the Grass-type starter, and its evolutions take a lot of cues from this. All of them are happy, easy-going llamas that just enjoy taking life as it comes. Tamroast is another species based on hipster culture. They are very interested in roasting and brewing their own coffee, have a very easy-going nature, and their varying designs call to mind things like carefully cultivated beards and moustaches. Trip, the 8th Gym Leader, has this characterization. He is very well-traveled, hates labels, and is rather smug when he bets that you've never even heard of some of his Pokémon before, from places you've probably never been before. | |

Extra Eyes: Jemineye is a Rock/Psychic Pokémon based off of a chitton, which means it has eyes all over its rock body. Also, just like Sableye, all of its eyes are jewels. Some of the Ultra Beast-like invaders have eyes like this, like the goat-like Lamentu and the enormous Space Whale Endram-Odai. The latter can even make it seem like all its eyes are staring at you at once, no matter how spatially impossible that may be, and its foremost pair can even move around the red parts of its head. | |

Sibling Yin-Yang | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_8af7b342 | comment |
Sibling Yin-Yang: The Gym Leader brothers Kaiba and Tate (of separate gyms) contrast each other in many ways. Kaiba is large, plump, and a man of few words, while Tate is a slim Motor Mouth. Kaiba has his gym in his hometown of Bent Town, but Tate's gym is set up near Gorge Outpost next to the large east-west river of the region, without a town to speak of. Where they contrast most, however, is how they each dealt with their hometown becoming a Dying Town: Kaiba decided he'd do anything to revitalize it, and made a deal with Amaze-All to bring in more manufacturing and warehousing jobs. Tate instead took off and instead helps other people who followed his lead to cross the big river to more jobs in the other quadrants. Obviously, both have a pretty big beef with each other. | |

Rocket-Tag Gameplay | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_8b0a127 | comment |
With Manadza's high Special Attack and Special Defense but low physical Attack and Defense and vice versa for Arctikull (not to mention having typings that can hit each other super-effectively), battles between them might be a case of Rocket-Tag Gameplay... but their Abilities make things more nuanced. Manadza's Heat Haze Ability allows it to dodge and counter the first physical attack used against it with a burst of heat haze, while Arctikull's Ice Armor effectively reflects the first special attack used against it back at its opponent. | |

For a more local variant, there is a Kaskadian Ambipom which is based on the agropelter. Like its mythological inspiration, it carries rocks everywhere and chucks them at foes with its long arm-tails. | |

Foreshadowing: At the tail-end of Professor Fir's research log on Castform forms, he opens a new research log saying that Amaze-all approached him and offered 10 years worth of grant money for production rights to the Steel Whirlygig, leaving Fir conflicted if he'd want to put any more Castform through the horrors of an artificial Steel-type form. Then, in a later video detailing Tom Bezzle's motivations, he mentions wanting to create an artificial weather-based Legendary Pokémon to resemble the ancient thunderbird that created the Kaskade region, and a brief scene later displays some strange Mechanical Abomination. Investigating some odd ruins under Mt. Anneal, you and Professor Menzie find a strange mural about the Great Thunderbird... but for some odd reason, the later parts of it are completely unintelligible... as if something doesn't want you understanding them... Throughout the game, you encounter quite a few Pokémon with motifs of Mind Manipulation, such as Drosabell, Folleming, Kaskadian Trevenant, and Phisnooz and Telemac. While some of it can be due to the idea that they evolved to match the spiritual air of Mt. Spectoul, it also foreshadows the overall threat of the post-game. In Port Alki, the player runs into a "The End Is Nigh" sign-waving doomsayer that keeps muttering, "Endram-Odai". In the post-game, you finally get to see Endram-Odai... a ginormous Space Whale Ultra Beast. | |

My God, What Have I Done?: Professor Fir has a great deal of guilt when, in his endeavor to find a Castform form for each of the 18 types, he managed to make a Steel Whirlygig that gave Castform a Steel form, but locked it into its form until the whirlygig was broken and possibly also mentally traumatized it. | |

Forest of Perpetual Autumn | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_a836c7fb | comment |
Forest of Perpetual Autumn: Quoia Forest in the southwestern quadrant of the region seems to emit a strange energy that causes it to be locked in perpetual autumn, despite the switching Bizarre Seasons of the rest of the region. Moreover, despite the leaves constantly dying, the trees still grow to be some of the tallest in the area. And it's not just autumn; the Obsidian Flow in the southeast quadrant, a patch of verdant farmland in the northeast, and a mountain glacier in the northwest all emit different energies that lock them in perpetual summer, spring, and winter respectively, regardless of what season the rest of its quadrant is. The implication is that in the post-game, these four areas are where one can find the four seasonal Legendaries. | |

No-Sell | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_abd29ad8 | comment |
No-Sell: Each of the starters has an ability that neutralizes the weather effect created by the Signature Move of the Pokémon strong against it. Alfalphalops's Fluff Buff move fills the air with pollen, but Burbwhirl's line has the Bubble Helm Ability that protects it against air quality changes; Vaquamael's Whirlduel creates a rainstorm, but Therpal's line is literally Hydrophobic and immune to rain and snow; and Tarmendoa's Thermal Vortex creates a drought, but Llampas's line possesses the Ability... Droughtproof (and temperature-proof too). With Manadza's high Special Attack and Special Defense but low physical Attack and Defense and vice versa for Arctikull (not to mention having typings that can hit each other super-effectively), battles between them might be a case of Rocket-Tag Gameplay... but their Abilities make things more nuanced. Manadza's Heat Haze Ability allows it to dodge and counter the first physical attack used against it with a burst of heat haze, while Arctikull's Ice Armor effectively reflects the first special attack used against it back at its opponent. | |

Bizarre Seasons | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_b1118d5e | comment |
Bizarre Seasons: The Kaskade region is divided into four quadrants by a mountain range and a massive river, and the seasons change every month (and not for thematic purposes like in Pokémon Black and White), due to the four main Legendaries effectively playing a giant, everlasting game of musical chairs. The rival Legendaries of summer (Manadza) and winter (Arctikull) are constantly trying to change the environment to their liking, and they each send their herald Legendaries of spring (Tamunk) and fall (Temunk) respectively ahead of them to clear the season of their rival and prepare the land for their arrival. As a result, the Kaskade region is always experiencing winter, spring, summer, and fall in at least one of its sections at all times of the year, with each section's season changing from month to month as the Legendaries circle from quadrant to quadrant. The local businesses have taken advantage of this rapid change in weather to grow quick-growing seasonal crops all year round, as well as offer many seasonal tourist activities. With them being able to sell crops in other areas' off-seasons and constantly offer seasonal recreations, the Kaskade region is an economic powerhouse. | |

Wicoot makes it clear that he is not impressed either, that Tom was making an extremely reckless and stupid decision. | |

In response to complaints that the Kaskade Region concept has “too much social commentary”, Lockstin drops into Sarcasm Mode and "agrees" that the regular Pokémon series has no social commentary at all while displaying pictures of Team Plasma, Team Flare, Muk, and Cursola. When discussing the various Pokémon based on Idaho, Lockstin proceeds to take a lot of shots at how bafflingly dumb some people in that state can be. Lockstin makes no secret that he despises the designs of Ambipom and Crabominable, and essentially made their Kaskadian variants as attempts to improve them. | |

Tom later echoes that sentiment almost to the letter after he captures Manadza and Arctikull when convincing them to alter the seasons to be more efficient doesn't work. Maybe it was something in the frat they shared at Kaskade University? | |

Zlata is a punk, a Gamer Chick and a streamer, who revels in her youth. Bullied just for being who she was, she found comfort in her dad's old arcade games, and isn't about to let any stuck-up adults tell her how she should act. | |

Ghostly Chill | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_c547f08d | comment |
Ghostly Chill: The cursed winds weather effect is like this, causing people to feel cold even though the actual temperature doesn't lower. It causes all Pokémon except Ghost, Dark, and Normal-types to take damage over time, and can even possibly make them too scared to move. | |

Broken Bridge: A literal one prevents you from skipping over two entire quadrants of the Kaskade region and progressing from the first quadrant directly to the fourth. Repairing it is a side project of the first Gym Leader and construction manager Adamo, as it would allow a lot of travel between the Mega City of Port Alki and the growing city of Chapinook. | |

Dreadlock Rasta: Cooreds, the middle cocoon stage of the regional Bug-type Com Mon Sighlo, is a bug with a cocoon made of dreadlock-like strands and plays trumpet-like sounds from its snout. Its final evolution, Probaska, takes the Rasta connection fully since it's a hackysack-colored weevil that plays Reggae and Ska music. | |

Mammoths Mean Ice Age: Downplayed. While it's established that Mamoswine did exist during the Ice Age of the Kaskade region, the "fossil" Pokémon that can be revived from Ice Age specimens don't include a second woolly mammoth-like Pokémon; instead, we have Feafurr and Vaicear (saber-toothed tiger), Phisnooz and Telemac (phiomia and macrauchenia), Macedontus (glyptodon), and Crynorawst (woolly rhinoceros). There is a woolly mammoth-like Pokémon introduced (Golgre, evolved from Kaskadian Golett), but it doesn't seem related to the Ice Age or these fossil Pokémon in any way. | |

Creation Myth | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_d250df04 | comment |
Creation Myth: This game adds on to the canon Pokémon creation myth about the continents being formed. Going out from Spear Pillar, Groudon traveled west to create the continents, which Regigigas dragged into place, while having continued battles against Kyogre (the Indian ocean being a section where Kyogre prevailed). After progressing for a while and completing the western coast, Groudon engaged in another battle with Primal Kyogre who threatened to overwhelm it, until suddenly a Great Thunderbird appeared and helped it bypass Kyogre, allowing it to create new continents on the other side of the new ocean (i.e. the Americas). Eventually, the continent creation ends when Kyogre triumphs over Groudon, leaving the Kaskade region as the last bit of land Groudon created before returning to Hoenn. | |

The Cataclysmic Quartet are inspired by many beasts described in Revelation. Pestilation (a Flying/Poison winged scorpion with its claws as feet and its head on its tail) is based on scorpion-tailed locusts with torturous stings. Revylon (a Ground/Fire leonine beast with an extra mouth on its tail) is based on fire-breathing cavalry beasts with lion heads, horse bodies, and snake tails. Leoseace (a Water/Dark long-necked leopard with six jawed tails) is based on the seven-headed biblical Beast of the Sea, as well as the serpopard. Lamentu (a Psychic/Fire feminine ram with seven eyes and a red neck) is based on both the Lamb of Revelation and the Lamb of Sacrifice, as well as the Mesopotamian goddess Mamitu. | |

Anti-Climax: During your fifth battle with your rival (after the 6th gym badge), they come at you with his fully evolved starter, several powerful Pokémon, including a pseudo-Legendary Metagross, and after you've beaten all but one, they tearfully send out as their last Pokémon... a Lv. 6 Pudet. | |

Cats Have Nine Lives | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_f1a15f4b | comment |
Cats Have Nine Lives: Referenced in Catatomb, the Spiritomb-esque evolution of Catteraxe. Just like Spiritomb is 108 spirits in one keystone, Catatomb is all of a cat's nine lives contained in one key bone. | |

Crazy Survivalist | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_f1d7b320 | comment |
Crazy Survivalist: Embodied in the Kwaile evolutionary line (the standard bird Com Mon of the region). The middle stage, the Flying/Ground-type Quailert, is wary of everything it perceives as a threat, even if said "threat" isn't dangerous. Its fully-evolved form, Quailstion, can embed its hard wings into the ground to form a bunker that it uses to protect its eggs, and its reflective head feathers make it resistant to Psychic attacks. In addition, the southeastern desert area of the Kaskade Region is home to many trainers of this mentality, who all use a lot of Quailstion in their teams. | |

Mage Tower | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_f6a0872 | comment |
Mage Tower: There is a literal wizard's tower on an island in the middle of the lake above Tso-Lo Falls, which is based on Wizard Island in Crater Lake, Oregon. A lot of magic-based Pokémon reside around it, like Bloomage, Yanmage, and Hatterene. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist | |
The Kaskade Region (Web Video) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Tom Bezzle believes in his heart that his way of listening in to people to know what they want and delivering it to them with supreme convenience and efficiency is the best way to making people happy and improving the world and civilization, and anyone getting in the way in the name of privacy, competition, or oversight are just closed-minded fools. As such, he believes any means necessary to expand his company's influence to improve the world are fair game, up to and including buying out the competition, buying out news companies that publish criticisms of Amaze-All, collaborating with organized crime, and co-opting the region's Legendary Pokémon to more efficiently control the Kaskade region's seasonal cycle, or even… creating his own. | |

Captain's Log: The video detailing Castform's many weather forms (one for each type) plays out as a research log video recording by the regional Professor Fir, who is logging how he managed to achieve each of the forms with his partner Castform and is using the video to summarize his findings. | |

Evil Is Petty: After you beat Tom Bezzle and foil his initial plans of capturing Manadza and Arctikull, he interrupts your final match with Champion Yazin and hijacks his final Pokémon, Ωrogon, to turn it into a beast meant to control the other Legendaries itself. Then he makes this comment to you: | |
