Why did the Lake Trio flop so hard for memorability? Would they have done better if they had different typings to differentiate themselves?
>>
I don't forget them. They're not popular maybe but you can hardly forget them. They're part of the main story.
>>
>>59302748
Literally everything on the bottom row is pure slop
>>
>>59302748
Game Freak was too focused on writing goon fics when making Sinnoh to bother making the Lake trio memorable or remotely worthwhile.
>>
>>59302748
After 3 generations of legendary trios with varied typings, they went and made three mono psychic mew clones with levitate. The most memorable thing about any of them is that azelf can explode.
>>
>>59302748
they deserved something in PLA instead of us getting enamorus. That was such an awful thing to add.
>>
>>59303589
but anon... enamorus is also male-coded...

>named pixie, elf(gnome in japanese) and sprite
>gamefreak doesnt retcon them to fairy or at least add it as a secondary type
BRAVO

Doesn’t help either that Sinnoh has another pure psychic type legendary with levitate. It’s pretty funny in retrospect that the two roaming legendaries in DP have the same typing and ability despite not belonging to the same legendary group.
>>
>>59302748
There really didn't need to be more than one of them. But that's a problem for every trio on the bottom row

The Red Chain is more important than they are

>make azelf the offensive one
>make uxie the defensive one
>mesprit is meant to be the middleground but it sucks because it can't fulfill both roles at once
How do you fix her?
>>
Does anyone have the old art of some trainer trying to force Uxie into a pokeball? I've been trying to find that for years.

While I agree that they should have an original form like Giratina in PLA for lake trio, introducing Enamorus to complete the set is not a bad idea. All's well that ends well!

>subjective opinion
americans are dumb as fuck...
>>
/vp/ has really dogshit takes when it comes to the lake trio.
>they should be one legendary
The point of them is they represent three different concepts.
>they look like Mew
They look nothing like Mew.
>they're not cool
Uxie has cooler lore than whatever anything else there have going for them.
This is the only one I kind of like >>59303621 but Willpower being Ice is a little off, should be Fighting instead or something.
>>
>>59302748
I've always believed that they were trying really hard to bank on the Keroro craze but completely failed in capturing any of the appeal of the Keroro designs. All you need to do is make a couple edits to have them be more Keroro-like and they immediately become infinitely more appealing
>>
>>59303672
>mesprit is meant to be the middleground
I think it's meant to be more like a supportive mon while Uxie is meant to be purely a wall. Though in practice the difference between the two roles is blurry. What Mesprit needs is more support options like Heal Pulse/Life Dew or Follow Me.
