[quote name="Sonora" date="2022-01-20 11:26:10" ] Now see, Dialga sacrificed any chance of having aesthetic to make itself into a cell tower to connect your GodPhone to and we should all cherish this action for the good of ancient cell phone coverage. Honestly though? I like both it and Palkias designs, it seems like they're trying to make them look lile what the statue in Eterna Implies they did/could have and I'm quietly eying that prospect being part of the plot with gradually growing excitement. [/quote][font=American Gothic][size=4] It’s sad because that’s why I [i]want [/i]to like them, but ultimately cannot. Yes, the Eternals statue is a different fusion, but it shows what is off about the Legends fusions. I think the main problem is that they couldn’t find a good balance with the fusions, resulting in what we see above. They either did not put enough Palkia or Dialga in each design, or they should’ve used their body types instead of the Arceus equine type [s]which is already missing some joints[/s] [img]https://i.redd.it/r682w1vaur281.png[/img] Contrast to two other (in my own subjective opinion) balanced fusions of White Kyurem and Black Kyurem [img]https://assets.pokemon.com/assets/cms2/img/pokedex/full/646_f2.png[/img] [img]https://assets.pokemon.com/assets/cms2/img/pokedex/full/646_f3.png[/img] Overall, I feel sad. Especially after the beauty that was Eternatus, Spectrier, and Glastrier. But, that’s just my subjective opinion. Opinions aren’t real, anyways.

what about avaluggs thanos chin

@Requacy I'd like to preface this by saying this isn't trashing your point at all but I do find it funny that the unstable fusions you get from Reshiram and Zekrom flow better then the "stable" (provided these are fusions) ones from Dialga and Palkias and that's also why I'm interested in them in a way? Like someone tried to brute-force them or they're still trying to make their own forms that aren't tied to Arceus. But that's also me just shoving things I like into an unconfirmed leak lol.

@Sonora

No worries! In fact, I find it funny as well. If what you theorize is true, I think I might actually like them more for it. In a similar vein of why I love Dusk Mane/Dawn Wings Necrozma. I think animated, they might look a bit better for me. Right now, everything is still unconfirmed. So we shall see in eight-or-so days.

I'm mixed on the new designs

for some, I absolutely love (hisuian sneasel & the starters my beloveds), while others I am a bit iffy on (such as electrode, it's fine but I'm just not a fan of it compared to voltorb)

and the legendaries do look off, but they'll most likely look at least a little better in game, when they're animated and have the correct lighting and such

I really like the Voltorb/Electrode forms. They're given a wooden texture, which really ties into Pokemon lore (specifically in 2nd gen how they described that Pokeballs used to be made from Apricorns).

I also really like Typhlosion. It's going to be Fire/Ghost and while it looks a little boring without its fire, I'm interested to see how they animate it (speculation is that it's purple and wisp-y).

The Avalugg though... oof. Hope the model looks better in game/from afar.

And I don't mind the legendary leaks? But like... they really had to go and remove Palkia's arms huh

I'm really on the fence about the game after seeing the leaks. The leaked legendaries are my only big issue honestly though, I really like the Voltorb/Electrode form designs and the Goodra design. The Arcanine design is also pretty neat now that I look at it!

Update: I realize long sneasle is built like Huggy Wuggy. I love them
