    Zygarde was not on the list because 1) in X & Y there was, like, no fanfare to him? Like, I didn't even know he existed until months later? Eternatus and Mewtwo had better clues to them.
    And 2) he next appeared as a collect-a-thon prize. Not a legendary to be feared. I guess I stick him more as an Easter egg or mythical than an actual box legendary.

      I'm not saying it should be high on the list, heck I was expecting it to be on the bottom, but it feels like it has about as much right to be there as Mewtwo does what with it being part of the same legendary trio as Xerneas and Yveltal

    The main reason for Solgaleo being a lion is due to the alchemic symbol of the lion that devours the sun, which would fit it's steel type and how much metals are focused on in alchemy.

  • @BenMan8881
    @BenMan8881 ปีที่แล้ว +57

    Let's add to the reason why Giratina is the best legendary by these standards... Character growth. No, seriously, Giratina has character growth. Legends Arceus has Giratina try to remake the world to get back at Arceus for its banishment... But, in gen 4's Platinum, it is the one to stop Cyrus's plan. Not the player, not Cynthia, Giratina. And Cyrus's plan isn't to dissimilar to Volo's. Plus... I believe that the text in Platinum states that Giratina is studying you calmly prior to your fight to try to catch it, like as though you remind it of the trainer that calmed it in the past.

    • @SagittariusAyy

      Exactly, I was hoping Ari and Count would mention that…Because you end up humbling it in the past by defeating it in a rather harrowing battle, it decides to protect and fight alongside humans instead, and essentially becomes Poke’Batman, watching over and protecting man and Pokémon from the shadows, and striking fear into those unfortunate and/or foolish enough to provoke it’s fury. You showed it the strength of the bonds between people and Pokémon, and now it fights to protect those bonds…And I think that’s really fuckin’ neato.

      Guiding souls to the underworld has consistently been associated with the Ghost type, as has bringing death via the Litwick evolutionary family, so Yveltal is part of the unusually high number of Pokémon that would easily work with STAB that they lack without making any design changes. However, the path we got is serviceable as well.

    So, the reason Solgaleo is a lion is because he's a reference to alchemy. He's referred to as the "beast that devours the sun" and a lion eating the sun is a common symbol in alchemy, and Galileo, one of the influences in Solgaleo's etymology, was a confirmed believer in alchemy. It's honestly some of my favorite design lore in the series

    I agree with Griatina being creepy as hell. I always liked that it was so feared, yet so necessary to the creation trio. You can't have light without shadow, matter without anti-matter. As a long time comic fan, his intro in Platinum gave me serious flashbacks to Crisis on Infinite Earths. If fictional characters had their own pokemon teams, the Giratina would definitely be under the thrall of the Anti-Monitor (or Darkseid in a pinch).

    There's actually a huge amount lore regarding Zacian and Zamazenta and about Eternatus first arrival into the Galar region with almost every town and city having some kind of connection with it.
    However, you're confusing the fake legend of the darkest day (the one that talks about a hero that saved the galar region with a sword and a shield) with the actual (lost and rediscovered) legend of the darkest day (the one that talks about how Zacian and Zamazenta were the ones that saved the Galar region from tbe darkest day 3000 years ago). And that they were summoned by the ancestors of Swordward and Shieldbert (just like you, the player and Hop also did using the lost relics to summon them) to save the region.
    Not to mention that the design and lore of every legendary in Galar is heavily tied to several constelations. It's actually pretty cool.

    I never got the "Legendary Beasts are dogs" theory. Like, what kind of dog is Raikou supposed to be? it looks nothing like one. even the other two seem like a stretch. Entei's a lion, Suicune's a leopard, and Raikou is a (Sabretooth) tiger.
    As for the silhouettes in Generations, pretty sure they aren't meant to be anything specific, just generic mammals.

      100% agreed.
      Entei has retractable claws. That is the textbook definition of a Felid (cat family). It's how you know a footprint is cat vs dog.
      As for Raikou it is so obviously a cat!
      Suicune I can accept being a dog mostly because the longer muzzle is a Canid trait.

    Well, this was definitely interesting. While not in tier list order, my favourites in no order are;
    - Giratina (SS rank highly deserved)
    - Mewtwo (Glad he didn’t get the Charizard treatment, because he’s awesome and completely agree with what you two said)
    - Rayquaza (I love my green awesome emerald dragon boy)
    - Kyogre (Groudon is cool but I got Sapphire and Alpha Sapphire cause I prefer Kyogre)
    - Zekrom (The second I saw him I wanted him, love my edgy black dragon)
    - Xerneas (Yveltal is cool but Xerneas is so much more appealing to me)
    - Hooh (Gold was the game that got me hooked into Pokémon and I don’t think I would be interested if it wasn’t for the original Phoenix)
    - Dialga (Same reasons you two said in the video)
    I wish Zygarde got the third game treatment and improved upon X and Y like Platinum did with Diamond and Pearl. He has a cool concept and lore, so under-utilised.

  • @pokestyn
    @pokestyn ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Why isn't Zygarde on the list? If it's cause he isn't on box art, you know who isn't on box art? Mewtwo and Eternatus. But they are on the list. So if it is box only, then Eternatus and mewtwo are breaking the rules. If it isn't box only, Zygarde should be here.

  • @mauroperez2848

    Ari back at it with the pokemon tier lists. Some of my favorite legendaries are Mewtwo, Ho-Oh, the weather trio, Giratina, Arceus, the tao trio, the life trio, Solgaleo, Lunala, Necrozma, Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus.
    Edit: I still stand by the forms of Necromza, Kyurem, and the time and space deities. The fused forms of Necrozma and Kyurem are suppose to look unnatural and I love Ultra Necrozma. It's a legendary from ultra space, of course, it looks bizarre. I like the origin forms of Dialga and Palkia because they, along with Giratina, are the first children of Arceus. They are supposed to look eldritch. I get that not everyone will like them, but that's just how I feel.

    If Eternatus is on this list "not done with the videos" why is he so high up? He dose so much less than Nyctosma and has a lot less and worst lore and moments. The only good thing about it is it's cool Dragon Poison type and the Eternamax form but that form is only seen once in the game with a battle that is basically a cut seen!!!
