so they’re paradox mons? That explains why they look like ugly digimons rather than real pokemons
>official name is “late bloomers”
>people call them “pseudo legendaries”
>official name is “first partner pokemon”
>people call them “starter pokemon”
Shinies used to be called alternately-colored Pokemon to
name is “late bloomers”
That doesn't even make sense considering how many other pokemon have high evolution levels.
Its really only based on one merch line, so I'm not so sure its really meant as an official catch all. More likely that the merch just needed a name at the time.
japanese fan term is 600 club. less characters, catchier, english fans have just always been morons
I must be a moron because whenever I heard weather trio my mind automatically goes to the OG birds. Snow(Hail), Thunderstorm(Rain Dance) and Clear/hot/dry weather(Sunny Day)
How are the Hoenn legends weather themed when Rayquaza doesn't even represent any weather? Their trichotomy is just earth(land)/water(ocean)/air(sky)
Anon have you actually played a Hoenn game.
Yeah. I know Groudon connects to sun and Kyogre to rain but as I said, there's nothing really connecting Rayquaza to a specific weather
Air Lock cancels out weather
Anon isnt really wrong though, in the second movie the Kanto birds have control over the weather and Lawrence III capturing them causes it to go haywire.
>OG birds
you mean the Mozart trio?
Rayquaza represents the suppression of weather
Or windy weather if you want to count its Mega
That's one hell of a stretch and you know it
nta but that's literally what its abilities do, verbatim. How is that a stretch.
Because that is still not a real type of weather and merely a way to symbolize it's function as a mediator/pacifier of Groudon and Kyogre. Conceptually Rayquaza is all about the sky
>The weather trio represents sunny weather, rainy weather and weather supression
Do you see how moronic that sounds?
Also notice how Castform, the one pokemon that unequivocally and above all others actually represents weather, has the three forms that match the birds more than it matches the land/ocean/sky trio.
Maybe instead of a Snow form he should have had a Sun form, Rain form and Weather Supression form.
>Calling them Super-ancient Pokémon
>When they were introduced in the same gen as the Regis
Does gamefreak really?
Ruby Rayquaza lived for hundreds of millions of years in the earth's ozone layer, never descending to the ground. This Pokémon appears to feed on water and particles in the atmosphere.
Sapphire Rayquaza is said to have lived for hundreds of millions of years in the earth's ozone layer, above the clouds. Its existence had been completely unknown because it lived so high in the sky.
To be fair, Kyogre and his pals are older than the regis
The regi trio are the "legendary giants" but Gamefreak refuses to make them big
Should be called the biblical trio
