>>58765627I think Rot would be OU if it has recover.
Regieleki and Regidrago are a mistake
>>58765537Regivile has an awesome black metal feel, love the inverted cross design. It looks like a Mayhem or Darkthrone album art.
>>58765739I quite like Regieleki.
>>58766610I don't think they have the same charm as the Golem Trio we had in Gen3. Furthermore, Regigigas doesn't even feature the Regieleki and Regidrago color patterns on its body like Regice, Regirock, and Registeel did.
>>58765537Regis should get 3x the bonus from held plates, 4x if from the same typeTera-ice Regieleki will be crazy
>>58767363No, there's no reason for that.Regirock, Regice, and Registeel simply need a new ability comparable to the one the two new Regis have acquired.
>>58765627wouldn't rapids be Ubers seeing how its a better version of dracovish?
>>58767377it'd be cool and make those items useful outside of changing arceus's type
>dude what if there was a regi for every type LOL>what do you mean they're themed after eras? Why do people always miss the point of the regis?
For me, it's Regifae
>>58769383It makes sense that the effects would affect Arceus; the plates are its signature items and are closely linked to it.The same goes for Red Orb (Groudon), Adamant Orb (Dialga), and Drives (Genesect).Moreover, the plates have the advantage of being useful to other Pokémon, providing a 1.2x power boost for a specific type. So they already have effects.Meanwhile, Silvally's Memory has no other effect than changing that Pokémon's type. The plates don't need to be modified, and there's no good reason for them to be.
>>58769406That's quite true; the Ice Age, the Stone Age and the Iron Age were what made the Regis thematically interesting.These represent major phases of the planet, and their leader is responsible for continental drift. They tell, in a way, the story of the Earth.
>>58767321>>58769603This just highlights how much of a mistake the new additions were. God gen 8 was rock-bottom dogshit.
>>58769406>>58769603>>58769636>they're themed after erasWestern fanfiction only. Nobody in Japan thinks this is even a thing. Its just something that proliferated on English speaking pokemon forums but is completely alien to the actual audience of the game: The Japanese.
>>58769902You come here to criticize one fanfiction, only to talk about another.Honestly, you don't seem very bright
>>58765627>200 spatk dark type with dark aura>RU
>>58770711bright enough to know that asking the japanese about the "eras" thing and knowing it is a complete English fabrication.
>>58770749>50 HP>50 SpeedRU it is. Being a nuke can't help it survive.
>>58771484>My headcanon is better than yours.You've got some serious brain holes. Regardless of nationality, a theory is still a theory, and they're often wrong. It's not the fans who decide what's canon; it's Game Freak who decides the content of their game.
>>58771891Gamefreak has never implied the "eras" headcanon. There is at least credence for Regignosis, but yet not confirmed canon.My point isn't bringing up Regignosis, its refuting peoples insistence that "eras" is a canon theme when its not in Japan.
>>58772087Just because a theory isn't popular in Japan doesn't mean it's worthless or necessarily false. If you want to assert a theory, you need facts that contradict it, making it untenable.Regarding the headcanon surrounding Regigigas, it's not really plausible.The existence of the Blank Plate implies that the giant linked to the Normal type has already been destroyed.Based on this simple fact, it's physically impossible for it to be Regigigas, as it goes against the logic of the lore.Even Teraleak never involves Tex in his plots about slain giants, even though these are old drafts of the story.
>>58772087The "eras" theory is based on the content of the games. This could be a coincidence or a deliberate hidden intention on the part of the developers; we don't know, and that's the very essence of a theory.It's based on the fact that Regice's body was created during the Ice Age, as stated in its Pokédex entry. Since Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are known to be very ancient Pokémon, it's not inconsistent that, chronologically, they could have originated in these different eras. After all, Regigigas is even older, estimated to have existed since at least the time when the planet only had a supercontinent called Pangaea. It therefore lived through different eras and logically created Pokémon using the resources it found.
>>58772195the era's "Theory" is predicated on western fanfiction being the actual reasoning behind the regis when it clearly has no source in Japanese and the japanese audience universally says this is something only western.The notion is "REGIS CAN'T BE X, BECAUSE THE DEVS MADE THEM BASED ON ERAS OF WESTERN DEFINED TECHNOLOGY!" but this is absolute falsehood. No dev at gamefreak would contend this and every japanese fan says this is nonsense as "ages" is a western thing seperate from eras they use in the East completely.
>>58773180We don't care what Japanese fans think; it's not a counter-argument. Stop putting them on a pedestal.She has no sources; we refer to Regice as "Ice Age" in every language.Generally, each member of a trio applies a similar logic, so it's not incorrect to imagine the same thing for Regirock and Registeel.You know that Pokémon draws inspiration from pretty much every culture and mythology in the world, right?Even their inspiration from Hebrew golems with Braille text has nothing to do with Japanese culture.Can you use real arguments that refute the theory with facts from the games? Right now, you're just using worthless personal impressions.
>>58774082Especially since the lore establishes that their objective was to protect ancient civilizations. Therefore, they were inevitably close to humans and their themes.
