im going to illegally sneak into banks e. cheese or whatever it’s called because trespassing would an anticapitalist act and so banksy wont be able to throw my ass out w/o compromising his aesthetic.
Y'all do realize that Hitler had similar views about Jewish people that Trump has about Latinxs. Back then nobody thought Hitler would win and somehow he did and then fast forward to all the shit that went down. Y'all need to stop playing and start paying attention to Trump- he’s not kidding.
“Remember when being a legendary Pokemon meant something?”
Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde are based around Yggdrasil of Norse mythology. Xerneas is Eikþyrnir who lives under the life tree, Yveltal is Hraesvelgr who represents death, and Zygarde is the underground Nidhogg. Xerneas shares its life, Yveltal takes the lives of others to replenish its own, and Zygarde works to maintain the natural balance of the life-death cycle.
RESHIRAM, ZEKROM, AND KYUREM FROM GENERATION 5
Reshiram and Zekrom represent Truth vs Ideals, and the Tao philosophy of Yin/Yang. While Kyurem is the grey area in morality, a hollow shell left behind by the singular Dragon these three once used to be before humans tried using it for what they perceived to be “right”, when in reality it was just differing perspectives.
PALKIA, DIALGA, GIRATINA, AND ARCEUS FROM GENERATION 4
Dialga and Palkia are the Shinto legend inspired, godlike entities responsible for guarding and creating space and time. They come from a more scientific approach to how the universe works/was created, whereas Arceus and Giratina are more spiritual as they are designed with inspirations from various versions of “God” and “Satan” in dozens of different religions around the world.
GROUDON, KYOGRE, AND RAYQUAZA FROM GENERATION 3
Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza are modelled after the biblical beasts; The Behemoth, Leviathan, and Ziz. Groudon created the land, Kyogre rules the seas, and Rayquaza guards the skies. Groudon and Kyogre helped shape the world (Alpha) and often nearly end the world in conflict with each other (Omega). Rayquaza acts as a neutralizing force to aid the world and its people.
HO-OH AND LUGIA FROM GENERATION 2
Ho-Oh has clear inspirations from various fire-birds in different legends from various cultures like the Phoenix, Fenghuang, and the Huma Bird, as it is associated with the power to revive itself and others from ashes, bring eternal happiness, and rainbow iconography. Lugia could be considered similar to the sea-dwelling dragon, Ryujin of Shinto myth, and he has subtle elements that seem similar to a beluga whale.
MOLTRES, ARTICUNO, AND ZAPDOS FROM GENERATION 1
Hot bird, cold bird, and zappy bird.
I love the first gen legendaries but this is true..
They’re numbered too. Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres.
My favorites story-wise are Arceus, Palkia, Dialga and Giratina because it’s literally about the begining of the universe and how time and space were created..
but nostalgic wise my favorites will always be the first ones, sorry gotta love the ice-fire-zappy birds
If pokemon silver wasn’t my first game, pearl would be my favourate. I love the story behind it with the villain who is attempting to harness the powers of the universe to destroy it and build it from the ground up. I do have a problem with the X and Y legendaries though because it wasn’t exactly clear what they represented and I think that’s where peoples complaints are regarding the legendaries.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
