what's going on everyone Austin John please here and today we have a brand new reveal
for a new species of Pokemon called Wiglet from Pokemon scarlet and violet
now there is this fun uh fake webinar ecological survey that's available on
the Pokemon japanese website that is apparently available in multiple languages and they have
some people here some real people that are saying real things and this is pre-recorded
stuff so you can go and watch this if you'd like to which for some reason is partially
in Japanese partially in English and I think someone in French and this is the person who
mainly speaks and their cameras off because of technical issues and then you can choose
to have your face there too in fact can I have my face there okay for some reason I
can't get my my webcam to work it tries to keep going to my to my Elgato and uh yeah that's the
Elgato screen that says no signal so that's my webcam and this is what it sounds like
we're just gonna keep that muted for now
in fact we're just gonna bypass all of this and we're just gonna get on to the part of this that
reveals a new species of Pokemon which thankfully serebi already decided to upload for us great
so this is the part that you come to the ocean and you see these tiny little uh White moles in
the ground and they're like well it's a Diglett duh and then they're like oh maybe it's not a
Diglett because it's white and it's longer and it has different behavioral patterns and it eats
different things and yes it shares some similarity to Diglett that has the big round nose and the
tiny eyes and that it Burrows in the ground but that's where it begins and it ends and they go on
a series of talking about it being an evolution of Diglett and it's not and they talk about it
being a regional variant of Diglett and it's not a regional variant makes sense in animals live
because it's one specific animal that now lives in a different area and had to adapt to that area
and they're Divergent as opposed to this which is called a cut a convergent evolution which means
that there are two different animals completely that happen to live in the same place and evolve
to have similar features for similar reasons but are different animals completely great example of
that sharks and dolphins they have similar looking bodies they can go through the water at very fast
speeds but they are completely different animals all together in fact one's a mammal and one's not
this Pokemon tends to stick out of the ground a whole bunch like this so This is called a Wiglet
not to be confused with Diglett or a regional evolution of Diglett this is Wiglet it's a
completely new species of Pokemon this Pokemon that lives on the beach or in the sea of paldea
region would be Wiglet although they appear to be the paldegan form of Diglett we've
learned that they live and eat differently as if they are entirely different Pokemon
according to this research it is said that a coincidence that they have similar bodies and they
both burrow in the ground and the sand and look it sticks out longer so it's a different Pokemon all
together that's pretty much the only real portion of that a whole ecological survey that you need to
see now in that ecological survey if you were to go through the whole interactive experience which
I did this morning uh in the Olive Grove there is an actual Diglett so another example of why this
is not a regional form because regular Diglett exists here and this is not a dinkling this is a
completely different Pokemon called Wiglet despite its name being ever so similar think of different
types of insects that look like different insects to uh trick prey or Predators into going after or
coming to them examples like that so there you go that's Wiglet it's a brand new species of Pokemon
uh a perfect example of convergent evolution I'm using that word correctly convergent evolution
is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different periods or epochs in time
and while I did not take biology to a college level if I'm not using the term convergent and
Divergent Evolutions properly please educate me in the comment section down below but I want to
say that Diglett are moles they are moles they live in the ground they burrow from the ground
and alolan diglets are diglets that happen to be moles but in a more metallic atmosphere so there
are part metal as well these are not moles there are some thoughts as to what this animal is some
people say it's a Pacific razor clam I think it's much more likely that it's a spotted Guardian
eel they look like this you probably see them in aquariums they're in Animal Crossing you might be
familiar with these already so there you go this is not a mole it's a spotted Garden eel or a razor
clam it's completely different animal altogether that just happens to look like a Diglett a little
bit convergent Evolutions maybe we'll get like an official reveal of this Pokemon I mean like
a fun flashy 30 second trailer in which I'm not going to cover that because I've already discussed
everything about this Pokemon uh yeah there we go that's Wiglet and now we're oh wait it's the
28th today September 28th is the anniversary of the release date of Pokemon Red and Blue being
released in the US isn't that neat there you go we had an ecological survey to celebrate today thank
