Complete Zygarde the Humanoid Dragon pokemon looks so cool to me

[l00rem]

Oh naaaaw they really went and gave him double daddy issues 💀💀

But Gibeon looks quite different to Amethio despite only being his grandad… when you compare liko and diana to amethio and gibeon it’s strange considering liko and diana resemble eachother so closely. Gibeon is more pink than purple and his hair is stylised completely differently, the outer pupil bit is shaped more triangular whilst amethio’s is just round. Also, looking even closer at gibeons eyes he has a white shine to it whilst amethio’s don’t, so has amethio actually had those depressed empty anime eyes the entire time but due to his white pupils we couldn’t tell until now? Maybe i’m just overthinking things 

It’s really interesting to me how differently amethio addresses his respective familial connections. He seems to really respect Gibeon, calling him ojji-sama, meanwhile he calls his dad chichi which is generally more neutral. He seems to be trying to distance himself from who is father was too which reeks of sooo much indoctrination someone please save his poor soul. I can see quite of few explanations for his lack of connection with his father; his father potentially learned of some dark truth and left but couldn’t take amethio for some reason, his father is dead but gibeon covered it up, or amethio never actually knew his father but was told about how he abandoned explorers once he joined. I wonder if Amethio tells himself that his feelings of bitterness towards his father are because he betrayed explorers, when in reality it’s because he’s the one who feels betrayed. 

Clearly there’s some reason amethio seems to have such strong loyalty towards Gibeon. They obviously don’t have a traditional bond, with Gibeon even remarking that it’s been awhile since they met like this which perhaps implies it’s been over a year since they met face to face, and yet amethio regards him so highly. And surprise surprise, the only time he cares to see his grandson face to face is when he’s asking him to continue serving his wishes, really selling himself as grandad of the year here.

This line particularly intrigues me and supports a hc i’ve been holding for awhile which is that amethio and gibeons blood line are descended from royalty of sorts. Perhaps then he intended to make rakua his kingdom, but that would mean destroying it in order to control it which lead to his subsequent falling out with Lucius. 

The way he phrases this is also really interesting to me- because it subverts the usual expected ‘heir to the throne’ and instead Gibeon just says heir of his blood. Which makes sense given that Gibeon seems to be intending to live forever, so he wants to keep playing as king for all eternity. So amethio is just a means to an end, someone to do all the hard work for achieving gibeons dreams and yet reviving little from it himself. 

I doubt this’ll happen but i’m gonna say it just to put it on the record- I wonder if we could potentially see this gibeon/amethio ancestor on the throne in the upcoming legends Z game? Considering Gibeon’s partner being a Zygarde and Kalos’s themes of royalty, potentially we could see the ruler that Gibeon is trying to emulate. Apart from new pokemon forms i don’t think the games have ever taken something from the anime before, but i think it’d make an interesting twist if they went that direction!

It’s pretty upsetting to see how heavily manipulated and indoctrinated Amethio is into explorers. I don’t have any doubts for his eventual redemption arc despite his yearning for power, but seeing how strong of a chokehold gibeon has on him it does make me wonder what’ll actually trigger it.  A lot of people compare amethio to zuko, but for zuko he could see physical evidence of how horrible the fire nation was through going around the world and having uncle iroh to guide him whereas amethio doesn’t really have either of those (zir and conia support him, but they’re not really angels on his shoulder). Either he’ll discover a darker secret somehow and turn against them (potentially the same as his father) or maybe through his development with the rvts he’ll grow to realise how horrible explorers has treated him? (something about chosen family vs biological family). Regardless of how it happens, I just hope Amethio can be happy by the end of all of this. Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll actually see him smile in a year or so.

Best Legendary Pokémon Tournament- Preliminary Round: Zygarde

While 50% was the original form in Generation 6, our favourite green snake has two other versions to choose from these days! And each with a different number of legs!

(No Zygarde Cores or Cells here, since neither of those can really be obtained as normal Pokémon?)

I had a rather "American" realization about Legends Z-A. No its nothing about hamburgers and guns, hear me out-

As an American (apologies), I've been pronouncing it as Zee-Ay. I recently heard a non American poketuber refer to it as Zed-Ay, as I forgot Zed is typically how a lot of places pronounce it, much like H (pronounced Ay-ch here) can be pronounced Hay-ch elsewhere.

Then I had another realization.

Z-A/Zed-Ay? Could make sense if you just read it as is the way you're supposed to in your respective dialect. But then I had a 4 a.m. moment of mispronounced words- Zed-Ay in this case became Zed-Ah, or Zeta depending on how you say it (I've heard both Zay-ta and Zeh-Ta/Zeh-da).

And suddenly the peanut I call a brain started to bounce around in this skull of mine. And mind you, it's almost 5 am, and maybe won't mean much, but hear me out

Zeta- Greek. Not the first time we've had it in a Pokemon title. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, plus Episode Delta. All of these were Gen 6, despite being in Hoenn. In fact, Zeta is the 6th letter of the Greek alphabet.

Zeta is represented by the lowercase ζ. Capital? Ζ.

Yall it fits. Idk wtf it means but I might have stumbled upon something neat by complete sleep deprived accident.

If we follow this rabbit hole to the Ratatosk theory I posited a while back (summary: i basically theorized Zygarde is Z, so A probably would be a new Pokemon like X and Y were with Xerneas and Yveltal, and Ratatosk- a gossipy squirrel- comes from the same story of the Nordic world tree that the XYZ legends are based from), perhaps it could also tie to the ORAS primal forms to some degree? If for nothing else than to bring back Primal Kyogre and Groudon. Again, it is Gen 6.

But that's all I got so far. Thanks for hanging out in DD's theory corner

Do you have any Zygarde headcanons?

Zygarde can disassemble and re-assemble its cells when advantageous, such as dodging attacks in battle.

Zygarde is almost never seen in its 100% form.

Sometimes cells turn up in Alola. It's customary to release them back into the wilderness so they can continue to protect the environment.

Its patterns can vary wildly depending on what order the cells arrange themselves by.

Zygarde is hypothesized to be millions of years old. It is unclear if there's more than one due to the rarity of ever seeing it completed.

No Legends ZA news yet so I chose to pass the time by designing a Volo clone. More info about him under the cut.

Assuming ZA takes place in the past like Arceus did, William is Diantha’s ancestor, and he was the first Trainer to discover a Key Stone and Mega Evolve his Lucario. He also found a Zygarde core, and when the player first meets him he’s looking for Cells across Kalos. This version of ZA takes place a few years after the ultimate weapon was fired, when the survivors are working on rebuilding Kalos. William tricks the player into finding Xerneas for him, which he uses to punish AZ for firing the weapon by cursing him with eternal life. After his true nature is revealed, it’s a race between him and the player to find Yveltal. William intends to use Yveltal’s power to destroy AZ’s Floette for good. The player intervenes just in time and they battle. When the player wins, William uses the cells he’s collected over the course of the game to turn his core into Zygarde’s Complete Form. When the player defeats Zygarde, the cells dissipate and the Core flies away, which greatly upsets William. He realizes the pain of losing a deeply-loved Pokemon and abandons his plan.

His team consists of a lv66 Florges with Flower Veil, a lv67 Aurorus with Refrigerate, a lv67 Tyrantrum with Rock Head, a lv68 Gourgeist Super with Insomnia, a lv68 Dragalge with Poison Touch, and a lv70 Lucario with Inner Focus and a Lucarionite. The player’s first battle with him is against a lv5 Flabebe, and about 1/4 of the way through the game he upgrades his team to a lv20 Amaura and lv25 Floette.

my silly crack theory for Legends Z-A is that Xerneas and Yveltal will get Primal forms. my silly reasoning is this: Primal Reversion is associated with the beginning and the end of life on earth. the origin of life is associated with Kyogre because it occurred in the ocean — the "Primordial Sea". for Groudon, "Desolate Land" is actually an outlier among localizations, which mostly translate more literally as "Land of the End" (this includes the original Japanese).

Primal Reversion is a way that Legendary Pokemon become (or return to) manifestations of nature at the chaotic beginnings or apocalyptic ends of life — so it only makes sense that Xerneas and Yveltal could've had more powerful forms under those conditions, too. also: the title of the game is Legends Z-A, not just Legends Zygarde. they chose to use the last and first letter of the Latin alphabet — just like Greek has Omega and Alpha.

also x2: Dialga and Palkia got new forms in Legends Arceus, borrowing from Giratina's Origin Forme gimmick. Zygarde's Complete Forme gimmick isn't really appropriate for Xerneas and Yveltal, with the XY duo not being made of cells or anything, so if they get new forms, it should be either a totally new gimmick, OR a gimmick from their debut generation. this could absolutely mean Megas, but just personally I think Primals would be cooler for these legendaries in particular.

also x3: last but not least, Xerneas and Yveltal kind of have this "sleep in a tree/cocoon for 1000 years" thing going on that wouldn't line up with the timeline of PLZA, because those games are going to be set way less than 1000 years before Xerneas and Yveltal awaken in modern times. I don't fully know where I'm going here, but basically, it makes sense why GameFreak might want to drop in some new additions to the lore to help explain the discrepancy — idk, maybe either Zygarde or some happening in Lumiose awakened Xerneas and Yveltal off-schedule by allowing them to Primal Revert.

[thatone-churro]

so like… legends arceus gave dialga and palkia (the original sinnoh box legendaries) origin forms to match giratina’s origin form & similar lore to match, right?

do you think legends za will give xerneas and yveltal incomplete and complete forms (a la zygarde’s 10% & 100% form) with their “default” forms being their 50% forms?

i feel like it could be justified: say that we we only saw the 50% forms in X&Y because of their power being drained & channeled into the ultimate weapon or team flare could only control 50% of it or something
