Even tho it has side affects, its beastly nonetheless. |
A species of Pokémon can't be good or evil by design; an individual can, but I'm not gonna discriminate an entire kind of Pokémon based on looks. Gyarados may look like a bad guy, but isn't he just looking for food and protecting it's territory? Is a bear evil? Is a shark evil? Carnivores, yes, and potentially dangerous, but to call that evil.... The only beings capable of being evil are those with a conscience, or if I may, intelligent beings. Dragonair and Dragonite, Flygon, Latias and Latios... Maybe Rayquaza, Dialga and Palkia and Giratina, though I'm not sure whether they are conscientious or not. Dialga and Palkia seem fairly neutral tome, and I don't believe that lore about Giratina being banished, he was always there. And to be hones, Rayquaza is probably just a big brute like Gyarados.
Rant over. Professor Layton and the Unwound Future made me cry three times in total. |
tkallab is right, I think Pokémon are neutral and most of their "evil" deeds are because they are either innocent pranks that got out of control, that they are aggressive or because they are only obeying their Trainers.
But if I had to choose heroic and evil dragons, here are mine: Heroic: Dragonite, Lugia (normal), Flygon, [email protected], Garchomp, Dialga (normal), Palkia, Ononokus, Reshiram Neutral: Charizard, Kingdra, Salamence, Rayquaza (normal), Giratina (Altered Forme), Kyurem Evil: Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Tyranitar, Lugia (shadow), Rayquaza (shiny), Dialga (Primal), Giratina (Origin Forme), Sazandora, Zekrom Why is Lugia a Dragon? |
Agreeing with shininglatios about agreeing with tkallab, who wouldn't agree about that agreement?
Still, to be on topic: heroic: [email protected](duh), lugia, dragonite, giratina(both forms, Shining, youre pretty picky about that) evil: gyrados(if it were real it would most likely attempt to eat you), tyranitar, shadow lugia(epic looking, but evil nonetheless) |
zapdos926: Yes, I was being picky, I only did that because either the shiny or normal version looked more evil than the other.
|
Lugia is a dragon for the same reason Charizard is one, actually. Discussion of a long time ago... But I'd like to point you to this file.
|
@zapdos926 Lugia is a soft spot for tkallab, so I'd watch carefully what I say on the topic! ;)
|
It's not a soft spot, it's a religion!
|
If that's the case, then pray my friend! :D

All hail to the guardian of the sea!
|
*in british accent*I do say chap, that is quite sad if it's a religion. *removes bubble pipe from mouth* elementary tkallab, that such a creature, as magnificent as it is, can not be a religion, unless you formed a cult. That would be even more sad.*British rant over*
(off topic) I just saw marmaduke, cute, but cheesy. |
[fingerpoint]Objection![/fingerpoint] *deskslam* I'm afraid there's a huge contradiction in your statement! You said Lugia itself was a religion, *zoom* but a creature itself cannot be a religion! *taps evidence* You believed the defendant was referring to Lugia itself being a religion, because you were uninformed about this religion. *puts evidence away* Lugia is the Guardian of the Sea, it's only natural that some people would believe him to be a god. This is not necessarily a cult, because it's part of Ecruteak's mythology. *deskslam* These myths... *points finger* Known throughout most of Johto and Kanto!
That was fun. But yeah, there are probably some crazy people who would believe Lugia and Ho-Oh to be gods. I'd be one if I lived in Ecruteak city. |

If you consider certain facts of the movie to work into the games, then one can say that the Bird trio is to Lugia like how the Cat trio is to Ho-Oh. Since something happened to the cat trio and Ho-Oh was able to save them, one can probably assume that being Ho-Oh's opposite and something of happened to the bird trio then Lugia may be able to do the same thing... But this is just me assuming things again.
|
Acctually Ho-oh created the legendary dogs!
Each represents something: Raikou represents the thunder which ignited the tower. Entei is the fire which burned it down. Suicune is the rain that put the fire out. |
Yeah, and Lugia is only considered trio master of the legendary birds because of the movie, which is a completely different canon than the games.
|
Tkallab, your objection has been objected an I reject your objection in the way that your objection will be rejected via ignorance. Beaides, lugia can't be a religion, lugiaism maybe, but lugia is a terrible name for a religion.
|
Maybe mentioning Lugia here is like mentioning the word "Mewtwo" in Mother/EarthBound forums... (use Google because I'm too long and because the same thing happens when you mention "Giegue" in Pokémon Forums. It should have a TvTropes page).
On Topic: I don't know in which side I should be: tkallab has a good point: All legendaries (withthe exception of Mewtwo are treated like gods. Even the Pokédex states that it is the Guardian of the Seas. However, Zapdos926 is also right: it would be weird if it was a religion and not just a myth. |
Tkallab, I just read over that google docs document again, most of is true, but I have the feeling lugia has feathers. It just seems that way. If you got that info from
bulbapedia, I'll beleive it, but just by looking at the pictures of it and saying there aren't any feathers is like saying pikachu doesn't have fur because you can't see it during the show/manga/games. Or that staraptor doesn't have feathers. Off topic: I need more people to play the awesomness game in my siggy... People who have clicked on it, don't give away how awesome the game is by telling other ppl what it is... |
Sorry dude, you're years late to make me a zombie.
In Lugia's Bulbapedia entry, nothing is stated about feathers or skin, except for the fact that he can learn Feather Dance. But that's only by purification in Gale Of Darkness, and Piplup can also learn Feather Dance, so this proves nothing. |
Agreed.
I must say I'm indifferent to whether Lugia is a bird or a dragon. However, now we decided, no opposition to it being a dragon is going to be taken really seriously until next september. Sorry. I just cba with more voting......and we'll have Gen V to deal with sooner or later. |
