There's a sweet spot where a design is interesting enough to be memorable, but simple enough to not require several minutes to absorb.
Look at, say, Haxorus. It's a dragon with an axe head. It's not literally just another dragon, but what makes it unique is simple enough to absorb and communicate quickly.
Boring ass design. Also Comp wise they are pretty boring.
>Mesprit - good stat spread but outclassed by other psychics and is utterly outclassed by mew in the move pool. >Uxie - alright defense stat spread but is fricking outclassed by Registeel of all pokemon. Has a decent movepool. Wishes it wasn't a psychic type. >Azelf - Pretty great offensive stat spread, great moves for offense and good support moves for boosting, status spreading and stealth rocks. Pretty solid. Other psychics provide more depth however.
They are literally the second worse legendary trio group only beating the Regitro.

Frick off. The Regis are based and you actually have to solve puzzles to unlock them. Only the Genies come close to as bad as the Lake Trio and even they're still better IMO since even though their Incarnate forms are copy-paste designs, they're still not monotype Psychic Mew-clones released during a time when Psychic was already the most common type for Legendaries.
Talking competively. Regitrio is the coolest in every aspect aside from competively.
Even with Registeel being consistently a decent wall and now taking names with its demon iron defence/amesia set, Regirock and Regice are so fricking neglected its depressing.
Minimal design that might have had fans if there was just one of them, but dilutes the three of them tremendously.
Overshadowed by Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina in their own story.
Overshadowed by Heatran, Regigigas, Giratina, and Cresselia as side legendaries in their region
Overshadowed by the mythical pixies for their shape and general body plan.
Heavily tied to Sinnoh, more difficult to move.
Two of the three are horrible in competitive, one of the three was good, but was massacred by Team Preview.
Their mythos is kinda silly abstract nonsense, worsened by them never getting more attention and screentime to define them. Your guess is as good as mine when it comes to explaining what Uxie amnesia does to someone.
They really, really need an update to bring more attention to them. Maybe give them a new form, types, abilities, SOMETHING. As it is, they're probably the most bland, least well developed legendaries in the series.
You looked into Uxies eyes
Bland design.
>Ganker when Pokemon have convoluted, messy design:
"Wtf this is just a Digimon! Pokemon is just Digimon now!"
>Ganker when Pokemon have bland design:
"This design sucks it's just bland and boring".
Which one is it?
both

These fairies look like psychic to me. So what's their problem?
>caring about the redditors of /vp/ think
All the same shit which is just a worse mew
All look the same and their designs are kinda bland (a little underdesigned too Imo) I like them though.
Because all Shiton is forgettable.
Say that again b***h
they just are, it's Mew but... from SINNOOOOOOOHH
Mesprit - Fairy
Uxie - Psychic
Azelf - Fighting
there, fixed
>Fighting
You mean Water/Fairy or Water/Psychic since all of them are lake nymphs
they're pretty hot, so they have that going for them at least.
>copy/paste mew
>add an extra tail to it
>copy/paste it another two times
you tell me
SEXO
Samedesign Syndrome where the only difference is the heads.

Sorry, I should've been able to tell you were speaking about competitive from the rest of the post.
Damn straight.
Oh man another johtroon thread shitting on other games. Why am I not surprised

Keeping in line with the rest of gen 4
Perfect shitstorm.

They're kinda sexy, though
>Uxie
Comatose
>Azelf
Sheer Force
>Mesprit
Unaware, and gets Heart Swap
There's a drop in the bucket for abilities, at least
Comatose Uxie sounds fun
Unaware Mesprit sounds like fricking cancer.
You have dementia.
