>the only legendary pokemon to have never got any form of love since their debut game>koraidon is just powercreep zerkrom>baxcalibur is just powercreep kyurem>still no original dragon gamewhy does GF hate them so much?
>>58820628Not to mention ugliest Pokemon ever created
they're in a fucked up position of being too new to get something like primal kyogre and groudon, but also too old to be relevant in time for things like megas and regional variantsdialga and palkia were in a similar position up until recently (relatively speaking)
I have a new friend Baxcalibur. He's the Ice Dragon I always wanted.
>>58820628Why don't you?
>>58820628Their lore is pretty set in stone and B/W is explicitly Masuda's baby so it seems like he's stonewalling any attempts to re-contextualize the Taos. And honestly? Good on him.
>>58820628>Koraidon and Miraidon are literally Reshiram and Zekrom but miles better, charming and relevant to the player>Terapagos is made out of crystals and dream-themed like Kyurem but with a shitton of lore coming from it and better, too>Baxcalibur was already a better Kyurem too, Mega Baxcalibur is basically the Mega Kyurem that will never exist>after GF makes the "return to Sinnoh" game and before the "return to Kalos" game what they do for "return to Unova" is just a DLC where unovans with SV gimmick become leagues stronger than the original ones>and they still are inferior to the SV MC and base SV rival>and they didn't even wait for next gen for the return to Kalos game, Z-A happened in the same gen as all this>all in the gen based on the country that discovered the americas, no lessGen 9 really mogged gen 5 in every way
>>58821764Also>gen 9 has four fucking regions, the highest ever>the entirety of gen 5 is set within one single region, the lowest ever since gen 1 (when only one region existed)Truly the antithesis of unova
>>58820628Becuase gen V's reception scared them, so now they don't want to touch Unova again.
>>58820640>Not to mention ugliest Pokemon ever createdI dont see calyrex or gholdengo anywhere
>>58821966Correct. This is a thread about the ugliest Pokemon, Kyurem, instead.
>nothing about reshiramOP couldn't handle the Lubby Chudder.
>>58821966You get Golden Fido Dido out of your mouth, rat.
Kyurem-W gained a lot in gen 9.Snow gives it a 50% def boost and if you set Aurora Veil next to it, it became very difficult to KO before Life Orb Blizzard spamming everything to death.Then there was Tera Fire to allow it to deal with Caly I using Fusion Flare.I had a blast using it in the ranked ladder.
>>58821983>worse Koraidon (special edition)>can't even set sun automatically despite having a big ass torch tail lightining up at all times
>>58821985And it's still worse than the paldea legendaries
>>58822042So is everything else. Yes, that includes the two Calyrex.
>>58822042>powercreep is... le good!Neck yourself paldeatroon
>>58820628>the only legendary pokemon to have never got any form of love since their debut gameWhat did Yveltal get?Or the Lake Trio? What the fuck did my bro Regirock get?
>>58822073Blaming the strong for your own weakness is pitiful, anon.
>>58822122All those got their own designated missions in games beyond being randomly found static like Volcarona in Unova. Catching Zekrom, Reshiram and Kyurem in every game after BW2 is the same as catching any random legendary
>>58822127Okay, so that's the bar?What about Regirock?Silvally?All 4 Tapus?Cosmoem line?
>>58821764>Terapagos>better than anythingThis is how I know this is bait.
>>58820628he will get something when the remakes/BW3 releases after Gen 10, gen 10 dlc, Legends Galar, Champions and that mmo thing, likely on the Switch 3
>>58822154Pagos is okay, its access to a strong spread move puts it ahead at least half of the other restricteds. The problem is that it's predictable and the sets aren't that varied.
>>58822141>RegirockIt has its own areas, ruins and mission about catching the trio for Regigigas/the other two they just made>gen 7That's too new imo, and even Cosmog line got a special way to encounter it in Crown Tundra instead being just one of the random legends you find there
>>58822154If you think Terapagos isn't strong you have never battled one, ever.
>>58822217At this point you should just go with "they are the only the legendary pokémon that are them".
>>58822198>>58822218This have nothing to do with competitive. Read what that man say. Look at how he talk about the lore of Terpagos. Terapagos have literally nothing going for it and is using the anime to hype itself up.
>>58822282I don't care about lore at all.Their purpose in a meta is much more tangible.
>>58822285Then why are you replying to me about meta when I wasn't talking about the fucking meta?
>>58822288Look at the OP, where do you see lore?Powercreep is a meta term and you're retarded.
>>58822282But that's were you are wrong, kiddo, Terapagos literally had lore before even being added to the game, it's the ancient last survivor of its species, is the origin of the terastal energy in Paldea AND Kitakami AND Unova, the mythical creatures, herbs and constructions there, is the source of the crystal pool where kitakamians have been seeing their deceased ones for generations, of the crystals in Ogerpon's masks that Pecharunt's team tried to obtain and which ended up in their most important cultural event, of the sketches and dreams Heath had meeting himself from another world in a dream as he was writing his book, as well as the source of the time machine the professor built inspired by said book written with the marvels of Terapagos' turf.If anything is anime's Terapagos the one that doesn't have lore, since he's just a rare pokemon Liko's ancestor found, fell asleep and then woke up in Liko's times, and just happens to be able to destroy the bad space crystals.Try playing the games (and learning to read) instead of watching youtube gameplays, because the only way you can say Terapagos has nothing is if you base it on screentime, and in that case its screentime is comparable to other third legendaries anyway.
The buildup and hype of Terapagos: >>58822348The payoff:
>>58822543Try harder.
>>58822348Dude, that is not lore. That is stuff we knew since the game started. Lore would be the same case as the origin of Mega Ray, with people wishing for a protector give Ray the ability to mega Evolved. The Tao trio were once one pokemon before splitting apart and becoming three new ones. >b-but TeraThat doesn't mean shit. Look at Eternatus , it created dynamax and it still have lore about it almost destroying the world from what we now know as the darkest day. Or how about our favorite light eating dragon? It created Z-moves and was horribly damage from fault of an ancient alien race that cause it to lose all of it's light and in eternal pain. The only thing special about the turtle is that it's supposed to be the last of its kind and we all know that's not true. Actually bring in real lore.
>>58822679>no that's not lore that's... lore I won't approve of!Cope.And it's not even stuff we knew "since the game started", it's either from the finale or the DLCs. Just admit you didn't play the game, it's easier.
>>58820628pic unrelated, they do hate Lugia
>>58822679>with people wishing for a protector give Ray the ability to mega EvolvedESLbro... stop posting.
>>58822688>no argumentsI accept your concession
>>58822779Yeah you never had an argument, you lost when you unironically posted>doesn't count!As an argument.
>>58822823What you gave wasn't even lore, but poor attempt of a build up. What I gave was lore because it actually affect the region and give a story on why the pokemon is the way they are. The treasures of ruin have more lore than the turtle. They are the reason why the empire felled and to be sealed away before they destroyed the region. That backstory gives a very clear reason on why everyone in region is obsessed with treasure.>b-but the dream, Tera That's not lore. The scarlet/violet book had more lore about Paradoxes than turtle boy. Lore would be how it affects the world building and how important it is to the story. That turtle failed in every way possible. I gave examples from different regions and now the same for this one. All it had were the build up as this grand thing, the Imagination vs Time Travel about it had more going for it and it went nowhere. You're so busy trying to be a contrarian, I honest believe you don't even care about this pokemon. Even peach boy have a more lore and it's the reason people praise the loyal three.
>>58820628>>the only legendary pokemon to have never got any form of love since their debut gamethey got new forms in the sequel
>>58822543Its baffling that they didnt tie Terapagos to Arceus in anyway. Would've served as a great followup to LA
>>58821761>Their lore is pretty set in stoneIt isn’t. In the BW/BW2 leaked notes it’s mentioned that any purported shared origin for the trio is just the mythology and headcanon of the characters, who aren’t omniscient. >they might have come from the same dragon>but also Kyurem might have come from a meteor >but also the meteor might have been a dragon stoneJuniper in BW2 even says that it’s all just speculation. What we know is that their similar genes allow Kyurem to perform Absofusion on the other two, but even then those same leaked notes do point out that this isn’t meant to be definitive proof of anything.
>>58820628Not direct love, but it was the star villain of the 3DS Mystery Dungeon game. Was that game good? I've heard it was.... mixed and that the text speed is annoying.BUTthe soundtrack is one of the best in the whole franchise. Kyurem has its own fight themehttps://youtu.be/y7hUlM6wIkYand the ice palace themes all build on each other as they go (few more than these two, but 2nd is the 'climb to the finale'-type track)https://youtu.be/uiH-tYeSPeIhttps://youtu.be/WYn1TveURos
>>58820628Dont forget reshiram getting mogged by MEGAZARD X the gen after it was introduced
>>58820644>being too new to get something like primal kyogre and groudonBlack and White are older than RS were when ORAS came out
>>58822923>What you gave wasn't even loreStopped reading here>"where it came from and how it created the wonders that started the myths and shaped culture of the region and indirectly caused them to extend to other parts of the world isn't lore!"Cope harder.
>thread about the unova legendaries>most of the post are just a sigle autist crying about an unrelated legendary from paldeaweird
>58824462>58825064>still bumping the thread for attentionLet this shit die dude
Give no guard + huge power + gorilla tactics
