Ho-Oh July 3rd, 2017 9:14 PM

Ho-Oh is superior to Lugia... and here's why!
 
Ok we ALL know Ho-Oh is the coolest. Lugia fans unfortunately are not aware that Ho-Oh is infinitely better. This was done recently somewhere else on the Internet and I think it's a fun thing to do!

So! Basically this thread is come up with as many reasons as to why Ho-Oh is better.

Lugia fans: You're free to make your own thread... but we all know Ho-Oh is the best ;)

1. Ho-Oh is fire type and can burn down Lugia's entire cave if it wanted.

Let's see how far we can go! In each post list a new reason as to why Ho-Oh is better :) Now go!

2. Ho-oh's theme is a bit better I have to admit. It keeps its intensity the whole way and I love the Japanese influence to it.

Lugia is still better though

Ho-oh is for gay pride

Ho-Oh makes more sense in the context of the Gen 2 Games, since it is the legendary beasts' trio leader. But Lugia is great too.

Ho-Oh is very colourful and elegant, it could burn Lugia to a crisp with its Sacred Fire.

#7 ... I think.

Ho-Oh gives you an item that literally is like the ULTIMATE Max Revive.

The best fire birb. Meanwhile, Lugia isn't even a water birb. It isn't even a birb. What is it even, and why. Ho-oh at least is something.

At least Ho-Oh has a typing that would make sense, where as Lugia's typing is a bit questionable.

Also design-wise way more beautiful.

Ho-Oh's name. It is exactly the same if reversed. What's Lugia? Aigul? It's practically a Wingull!

Lugia avoids burn damage with Sub and proceeds to toxic stall Ho-oh to death. Checkmate :)

Also, Ho-oh is quad-weak to rocks.

Aha but! This is practically a Ho-Oh fanclub so we don't take to bad words about Ho-Oh here very kindly! #11... Ho-Oh wins because it is obviously the most loved here ;)

Ho-oh has clearly superior tail feathers. Its tail feathers are in a different class altogether.

In fact, the degree to which Ho-oh's array of tail feathers dazzle is at least an order of magnitude higher than Lugia's tail feathers. Science proves this. Just look at those feathers.

You see? Science.

Ho-Oh is better offensively with that 130 base attack stat and Sacred Fire and Brave Bird.

Sacred Fire is magnitudes more useful a move than Aeroblast.

Ho-Oh July 21st, 2017 5:33 AM

Ho-Oh has probably left gold at the end of a rainbow. What's Lugia done? Made a whirlpool? Lugia please.

The word HO-OH is always the same whether you flip it horizontally or vertically. No other Pokemon name (especially Lugia) is that symmetrical.

I never realized this before oh my god


Either way, while Lugia looks kind of scary, Ho-oh is simply beautiful <3

Ho-oh has the italian flag colours on its whings, everyone love spaghetti and pizza, so everyone love Ho-oh

MaSterBarth September 20th, 2017 1:53 PM

That thing in the sky Ash saw when he started his journey, so long ago, was a Ho-Oh! The story of the burnt tower just makes gen 2 one of the many things I like about it.

Junkyard Guard November 1st, 2017 4:29 AM

Why do you think Ho-Oh was the first Legendary Pokémon that Ash saw in the anime? Because it's superior, of course!

PokemonPlushGamer November 28th, 2017 6:44 PM

I think Ho-oh's In-Game theme is more energetic than Lugia's. I do like both themes though.

Ho-Oh November 29th, 2017 5:50 PM

Ho-Oh is red. Red is the colour of love; why wouldn't anyone love Ho-Oh? ;)

FeraligatrMaster November 30th, 2017 9:00 AM

To reach Lugia, you need HM's, as well as the Silver Wing. To reach Ho-Oh, you just need the Rainbow Wing.

Besides, when I was a kid, I could never figure out where to find Lugia, whereas I did manage to find Ho-Oh. And I had Pokemon Silver.

The Legacy of The Legends Creator :D November 30th, 2017 12:37 PM

they both suck to work with art wise x.x

lugia is so basic in design its hard not to go overboard

hooh has so much going on its hard to get it all cooperating x.x
