Given the recent release of the Netflix live-action adaptation of the beloved animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, and the rather...MIXED response to the first season, I thought it was time to finally return to one of my favorite shows with another "What If...?" video! This time, though, I'm gonna be working off a suggestion from a comment -- that being from "rileyackison4495" -- who wanted to see one of these focused on the members of the White Lotus, a secret society in the Avatar universe that seeks philosophy, beauty, and truth above all else, going beyond any political and national divides. And what better thing to unite people from different walks of life than Pokémon, right?

So, here's what I think it'd be like if even MORE characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender were Pokémon Trainers -- specifically, a certain 5 members of the White Lotus!

    Hey, gamers! Welcome to another "What If...?" video, as we once again look at some characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender, specifically members of the secret society known as The Order Of The White Lotus! Big thanks to rileyackison4495 for suggesting this a while back, sorry it took so long to actually get around to doing it, haha. Also, just a heads-up for anyone with epilespy or other issues with light sensitivity -- there's a brief bit from 19:30 to about 19:44 featuring some brief flashing lights (namely from clips featuring characters generating or redirecting lightning). I'm not sure if it's actually bad enough to set anything like that off, but better safe than sorry! Hope everyone's having a lovely Tuesday so far! In any case, DRINK WATER
  • Here's a fun fact about Minior. It seems to be based on the Portuguese and Japanese sugar candy, Konpeitō. This can be another reference to Bumi's use of the rock candy.
  • @sjoerdderks4731
    Things I like to add (to make a team of 6) For Bumi i add torterra and excadrill. Torterra repesents Bumi's home Omashu and excadrill represents the first earthbenders the badgermoles. For Peang dow i add angislash (for a obvious reason) and Kingambit: for defeating 100 firenation troops alone. For Pakku I add milotic for being as majestic as water itself and avalugg to repesent both big watertribes and (also his defensive fighting style) Jeong ×2 gave me a brainstormer, but i add shiftry for him being the desserter and torkoal being defensive with fire. At last iroh: i replace the legendary pokemon, he is strong but lets not go over board. I add drampa (the dragon of the west is wise), snorlax ( strong but carefree and having a big ocean of a stomach), kricketune (he is a good musician) and lucario (Zen at all times).

    Considering this anime has been absolutely popping off as of late, I think it’s about time we finally bring the drums of liberation out and give Pokémon teams to one piece characters. I feel the monster trio (luffy, zoro and sanji) need to be covered.
  • @Rosesofdeath13
    You made 3 what if avatar the last Airbender were pokemon trainers videos and you didn't give Suki a pokemon team. Suki is essentially the sixth ranger of team Avatar and the one to beat the sexism out of Sokka.
  • @nicholase82
    I hear someone has made an entire avatar pokemon region.
  • @LeahLovesNature
    I saw Uncle Iroh on the thumbnail (on mobile so I couldn't see the full title) and thought "Okay, how did Daniel decide which characters to do for a third one?" But then I read the description, and this was actually really clever. Also, admit it: You were totally playing favorites by giving that last character two Legendary Pokemon. Not that I blame you at all.
  • @Zack-2-Attack
    Is the nickname for the Ceruledge, “Yuto”, a Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V reference?
  • @andrewhaase1826
    If Final Fantasy 7 Characters had Pokemon: I'm having a ton of fun with FF7 Rebirth, so I thought It'd be fun to give Final Fantasy Characters Pokemon teams. I put some ideas for Pokemon down below (albiet the teams are incomplete). *Cloud -Aegislash -Gogoat *Barret -Clawitzer -Galarian Slowbro *Tifa -Hitmonchan *Aerith -Gardevoir *Red XIII -Lycanroc (Dusk Form) *Yuffie -Greninja -Ninjask *Cait Sith -Meowth *Sephiroth -Absol -Mewtwo -Arceus
