Original Dragon lore discussion thread.What even is the Original Dragon (will be referred to as OD from now on, unless the term overdose comes up.)?What type would the OD be? Pure Dragon? Dragon/Ice?What would it look like?
Definitely a Kyurem form. Maybe it'll have a Signature move that's just an amped up Dragon-type Tri Attack but with a higher status condition chance, and also have regular Tri Attack.
>>57190313It would be pure Dragon type, have an ability that nullifies others' abilities completely (basically a renamed Neutralizing Gas). It would be largely grey and be a more organic-looking dragon with a combination of Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem's features due to a proper re-merging of its parts (instead of the messes we got through the DNA Splicers).
>>57190313pure dragon with an ability that gives it stab on fire and electric moves, similar to steelworker.
>>57190313I have a headcanon saying it’s a member of the creation trio, representing energy itself. Also wishful thinking, but it would be cool if it was dragon plasma type.
>>57190749>Dialga = Steel = Solid>Palkia = Water = Liquid>Giratina = Ghost = GasOD = Plasma = PlasmaSSSSOOOOVVVVLLLL
the real question is does it end with "rum" or does it end with "rim"
>>57191162rym
>>57190313>>57190749Don't forget that Ghetsis for some reason had the creation trio items.Since the creation trio all got their Origin forms I assume Origin dragon stays in its Origin form.OD likely represents energy and plasma as the state of matter.
>>57191687Wait, actually? That's actually cool world building. Could it be connected to those rocket magma and aqua grunts that also ended up in Unova?
>>57190749>>57191687Giratina's prototype was said to have split into three beings - though those three were Groudon Kyogre and fug. I can see them reusing this idea for Kyurem.Though, what would complete Kyurem represent within Creation and existence?
>>57192979Source? I’m guessing the teraleak but please post it.
>>57191927Yeah, IIRC weren't the aqua and magma grunts in BW2 actually the children of the rocket grunt in BW?
>>57194958It’s not Giratina’s prototype or whatever that anon is claiming. It was one of the variants of the “Arceus kills the giant(s)” myth they were spitballing. The giant(s) is/are specified by Masuda to not have been pokemon, but in one of the myths they say it was cursed with slowness, so it’s probably closer to proto Regigigas than anything. Giratina’s prototype is Kimairan, a wrathful god that cries out for other members of its kind. Turnback Cave was made as a temple to calm its rage in the beta version of DP. It’s the thing that looks like Lando-T with angel wings, and was replaced with Giratina at the literal last second of development, as evidenced by its name being Giratina’s internal one in Battle Revolution (something we’ve known since 2008 or so).
>>57191148>Giratina>gasGiratina is all antimatter, to contrast Dialga/Palkia being all matter. They aren’t specific phases.
>>57196589They represent Time, Space, and Antimatter (none represent matter) so I though energy was also a universe property the OD could be. The phases of matter are just a secondary pattern between their non-dragon types, with steel being solid, water being liquid, and ghost (admittedly kinda) being gas (the only other one that could would be flying, but wtvr). I thought the OD merging fire and electricity in some way could represent plasma, the fourth state, and complete this pattern. It also fits well with the energy thing.
>>57190313
>>57190313Pure dragon with an ability that turns every pokemon on the field into a pure dragon type (like soak for water type) on switch in. Pure dragon is actually kinda shit, so it'd need a buff.
>>57198550Nice creation trio faces
>>57198583Could be something like a reskinned or buffed Tinted Lense?
>>57198550left looks like a fairy type
Dragon/Psychic?
>>57198498> (none represent matter)Anon, they outright refer to Dialga/Palkia as matter ingame. Two make matter and three make spirit, shaping the world. Giratina is the manifestation of antiparticles created by birthing Dialga/Palkia (matter) into the world.
>>57191148>Giratina is gasWut
>>57202036
>>57202047That's not Giratina...
>>57202073Ghost are often gaseous
>>57202089>oftenYes. But the vast, vast majority are not.
