Legendary Pokémon Thread v2

[MuhFugginMoose]

This may have already been mentioned but...I was looking at the "supposed" new legendaries. Does anyone think that "Volcanion" has any connection to Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion? Maybe we'll get him in a Regigigase-esque event.

About as much as Lumineon is an Eeveelution.

I was thinking more that he is connected to Groundon/Kyorge

Groudon.

And why would you think those two are related to Volcanion?

 

[Vintrial]

Groudon.

And why would you think those two are related to Volcanion?

Sorry for the typo.
For one istance because i think the movie based on volcanion will feature both of them.
Secondly since he works with some kind of steam, wich is produced under high pressure and high temperatures ( Groudon ) and Water ( Kyorge ).
So my guess is that Volcanion can live/was born in some place where they would have/are battled/ing each other.

 

[Something~Kinda~Ooooh]

As soon as I saw that Floette I new it could be a Spiky Ear Pichu type affair. It will probably learn that Light of Ruin move too, who knows it might have separate stats?

 

[Silverevilchao]

The thing is, they already made a model for it despite having like 5 seconds of screen time. The flower isn't even that super noticable during the backstory segment and you could probably just think the coloring meant it was Shiny.

That's...usually how it works in video games. You make models for everything you need, regardless of how long it's going to show up.

Arceus can't become ??? type legally, and yet there it is, its sprite exists.

I think they added that so the game wouldn't crash if someone were to hack a ??? type Arceus.

Well obviously, but then why bother with making a battle model

I dunno, we'll see if anything ever comes of it. If you got it may as well use it.

I'd say that a color pallete is on a different level than a new flower, but that was removed in 5th gen.

Flowers aren't that hard to model (being mathematically symmetrical and all - make one petal and you're practically done), and it didn't seem like Floette had different animations or anything either. Probably took the dude an hour to make.

Either way, if the devs can make overworld models for every single trainer in the game that uses a damn portrait in-battle, I think they can survive putting in a different Floette that shows up for five seconds.

Or, like most others are saying, it could be something unique entirely in some way. A new/unique/rare move, different styling altogether in the design - which may not seem important, but in the generation with different variations of flowers and butterflies, the generation that is based on beauty, it might be important to GF - , point being, while it may not seem significant to you, to others, it might be something to look forward to.

 

[Banebdjetet]

Anyone know if there are different mechanics this gen with Synchronizers and Legendaries, specifically Mewtwo?

I've attempted to catch him 6 times now with a Timid Ralts lead, and I've gotten a different nature all 6 times.

Just bad luck?

Most likely just bad luck.

 

[Banebdjetet]

9th attempt was the winner. (attempts 7 and 8, i accidentally killed him)

Timid (although the judge says his 31s are in Atk, SpAtk, and SpDef) oh well, he's a keeper. Mewtwo's moveset is too annoying to keep attempting to false swipe/spore with a parasect that's 20 levels lower than he is.

I hope Az's Floette has better stats than normal, as I'm not too keen on Florges. Actually, would Az's floette even evolve?

 

[rocky505]

Florges has no other open spots like Floette did. Floette will most likely be just like the Spikey-eared Pichu.

 

[Trainer Yusuf]

No, as there are no more additional Florges form data in the game. Similarly, it can't breed, as there are no more Flabébé form in the game.

 

[MechaBulba]

Surly the AZ Floette is just the model used in the cutscenes and not a Pokemon that's actually going to be distributed? Its most likely in the coding as a form as a way of saving the data?

 

[Silverevilchao]

Yeah, that's what I keep saying, but people are really, really hoping they can actually have it lol

...not that I don't blame them, it's a really pretty Floette.

This was one of the pages joe took down aswell as the pages for the event mons

 

[Silverevilchao]

He probably took it down because there's no point in having pages for unconfirmed data.

It doesn't explain why there is a placeholder for it in the Global Link.

Not to mention, Light of Ruin's description is rumored to be this:
"Drawing power from Eternal Flower, the user fires a powerful beam of light. This also damages the user quite a lot."
