Rank the Island Guardians from your most to least favorite
 
-Tapu Fini
-Tapu Bulu
-Tapu Koko
-Tapu Lele

MegaKuriboh October 31st, 2016 11:34 AM

Going from pure design wise, I'd go

- Tapu Koko
- Tapu Fini
- Tapu Lele
- Tapu Bulu

Going from the descriptions though I really like Tapu Lele because "It will scatter its scales over humans and Pokémon for its own enjoyment; while it is innocent in one sense, there is also cruelty in the way it casually brings others to ruin."

Lele is my favourite by far, everything about her is adorable, I also find her ability to be the most interesting.

Fini is my fave since I like Water-type and its dolphin-like design. Lele is very adorable and has great competitive potential with its Psychic Terrain. Bulu is the one I find the ugliest.

I like Lele, Fini, Bulu and Koko in that order. It's based more on design than actual usefulness, but I do like that they're giving a lot more fairy type options (even if they've already been used).

Tapu Koko is the only one I like design-wise.

If I had to pick any I liked after that, it would have to be Tapu Fini, only because if it has even moderately decent stats (which is extremely likely to be the case) its Ability could potentially lower the usage of Smeargle (Dark Void) in next year's VGC.

Tapu Fini omg I love this thing!
Tapu Koko is great
Tapu Lele is cute!
Tapu Bulu... I think I'l like it more and more, the bull is kinda my favorite animal so... but the design is meh...

Curiously, grass is one of my favorite type and water is one of the type I like less...

Solar Snivy October 31st, 2016 5:52 PM

Tapu Bulu is adorable and I find the way its hooves are bells to be really clever.
Tapu Lele is really cute and I like it, but I don't find it as appealing as Bulu.
Tapu Fini. I don't like its hair, and I kind of wish it was more dolphin than fish.
Tapu Koko is ugly and gaudy and one of the worst pokemon designs ever.

Denrew October 31st, 2016 6:07 PM

1. Tapu Lele - I'm a Psychic type lover/user and I find it adorable, plus the ability Psychic Surge is something I think very useful.

2. Tapu Fini - I like the design and color. The design actually fits Tapu Lele's type and appearance. They should've exchange Fini and Lele's appearance IMO.

3. Tapu Koko - I find it okay and think it deserve the number 3 spot.

4. Tapu Bulu - No comment.

There's just no way I can like the last one. It looks so stupid '-'

1. Tapu Koko - love the typing and it just looks ready to battle
2. Tapu Fini - great typing and design
3. Tapu Lele - super cute with an amazing ability
4. Tapu Bulu - just not really a fan of this one

Feroniamon November 3rd, 2016 11:56 AM

If I would rank the guardians as a whole (design and lore), it would be:

1. Tapu Koko (I like the tribal warrior look and it's fickle nature. I'm sure with Koko it will be never boring)

2. Tapu Fini (I expected it being mysterious, akin to a sage. But I love the idea having Fini inside the shell, which reminds me on clams, pearls and mermaids and I love mermaids)

3. Tapu Lele (CUTE! I love the teapod shell, I can see it as the innocent child of the Tapus while wise. But I wonder how Lele would be as character. I'm expecting it as being shy as a counterpart to Koko)

4. Tapu Bulu (Somehow I need time to get warm up with it's design, but again I didn't care at much for it as for Lele and Fini. Maybe if I see it as the Gentle Giant with a green thumb and encounter it, maybe I can warm up with Bulu)

It reminds me of Casshern Sins anime. I'm gonna nickname it Luna.

1. Tapu Lele - Do to it's ability and charm
2. Tapu Koko - Looks cool.
3. Tapu Bulu - A warrior with a passion.
4. Tapu Fini - Cloyster was here first! Nah, I'm just kidding! I'm just not that fond of it. Zzzzzzzzzz~

Ducolamia November 3rd, 2016 3:57 PM

Let me see...
1.Tapu Bulu - It appeals to me the most. I also love it's dex entry as it doesn't want to fight and instead remain a peace-keeper. Very simple, but I like how it's not like every other legendary Pokemon that either is overpowered or hates humans. All it wants to do is relax.(Like me~).
2.Tapu Lele - Very pretty and very cute- I don't like the pink a lot(It's my least favorite color, but I feel the color distribution was done nicely here. It's animation and Z-move also looks pretty cool as well.
2.Tapu Koko- Badass and Electrifying but I wonder how it picks up anything. It's design kind of confuses me a bit, but I hope it become a Totem Pole with the reast of the Tapus secretly. Also, yellow is one of my favorite colors.
3.Tapu Fini- Already using Primarina and Tapu Fini doesn't appeal to me at all.

Imperator161 November 3rd, 2016 9:39 PM

Based mostly on appearance:
1. Tapu Koko (not normally a color scheme I would go for, but I like the design and the energy)
2. Tapu Fini (like the shell a lot, and blue is my favorite color, but less enthused about the humanoid figure inside it)
3. Tapu Bulu (ok, nothing about it really stands out to me)
4. Tapu Lele (don't like the color or the design)

blue November 4th, 2016 8:33 AM

I actually think all the Tapu's designs are really well thought out. They're all completely different from one another and there isn't any particular design that I dislike. I'd be tempted to use one on my team assuming they're not legendaries of a sort.

Arjay November 4th, 2016 10:24 AM

In no particular order:

Tapu Koko
Tapu Fini
Tapu Bulu
Tapu Lele

Seriously though, I have no feelings whatsoever towards any of them. They don't interest me, they don't disgust me. Completely indifferent to them. Maybe that'll change when I play through the game and encounter them and learn more about them.

PlatinumDude November 4th, 2016 12:47 PM

For me, it's Koko > Fini > Lele > Bulu. I like both Koko and Fini equally, but I have a feeling that Fini's body is kind of too tall for its shell - does it have to crouch when it closes its shell?

dudealmighty November 4th, 2016 2:45 PM

Koko > Fini > Bulu > Lele

I don't even know what animal Lele is supposed to be. And why wasn't it a fire type. I don't understand it.

WingsofBliss November 5th, 2016 7:08 AM

I really like the designs of all the Island Guardians and the typing, but themeatically I would have liked to see Lele be a Fire-type instead of Psychic. Each island is supposedly named after the colors of the first Pokémon games(Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green) and each Guardian's typing would match their respective islands. Tapu Koko is Electric and resides on MeleMele island, and "melemele" is the Hawaiian word for yellow, which is the themeatic color for the Electric type.

Yixi November 6th, 2016 12:15 PM

1. Tapu Lele

2. Tapu Bulu

3. Tapu Fini

4. Tapu Koko

Chemist Wooper November 6th, 2016 12:19 PM

I can't order them, they are all pretty appealing but Tapu Lele stands out.

Vidxad November 6th, 2016 3:05 PM

As of right now my list is:
1. Tapu Koko
2. Tapu Lele
3. Tapu Bulu
4. Tapu Fini

Iceshadow3317 November 8th, 2016 7:29 AM

1. Tapu Fini - I love the color and design of this pokemon. It is vastly different color wise from the other three. Instead of it being warm colored, it is a cold colored pokemon with the purple and blue. Not to mention those colors just match extremely well. I also like Water/Fairy.

2. Tapu Koko - I loves it having the orange color, my favorite warm color. I love that it reminds me of a Phoenix in a way. I also love it being like a warrior.

3. Tapu Lele - No a fan of pink, but the colors match its typing well. But I am not a huge fan of it's psychic typing. It should have been Grass/Fairy.

4. Tapu Bulu - Not a huge fan of the color or art. It just does not scream grass type to me. It just looks bad as a design as well. It doesn't really have a unique color like the other tree either, as it just takes a color from Tapu Koko and Lele. It should have been Fighting/Fairy and it should have had a more unique color scheme for the Tapus. Red and yellow was used too much in the design of the Tapus.
