New DLC Pokémon revealed!

Seems like people think the Violet paradox is better this time around but I'm still admittedly not the hugest fan. Meanwhile I like Scarlet's. What do you guys think of these?

Prefers the Violet one. Would not call it amazing. Complicated the design with needless clutter. Does not really detract from it, however.

Turned the Scarlet one from cat-like to giraffe (maaaybe Dialga-like). Feels like a big downgrade.

Archaludon: Kind of torn. Dislikes the long, blue strip up its body. Would have been fine without it. Should be on four legs normally (as shown when battling) also. But then, is it just worse Metagross? Cannot help but think "Eiffel Tower" for its arms, perhaps because of looking like Rose Tower in Galar. Edit: Oh, is it a bridge? Wishes that would have been clearer.

Dipplin: Resembles Applin too much. Comes across as Paldean Applin. Not a fan on those grounds.

Iron crown is about as cool as every other violet paradox
Raging thunder(think its name is) is actually a good design i like
Archaludon is BETTER in terms of looks than duraldulon, but id still probably wouldnt use it
Dripplin is fine, nothing bad nothing stand out

The future cobalion looks okay. Iron Leaves looked better imo, but it's okay. Probably the best of the four.
Past Raikou is okay, at least it isn't an ugly abomination like Walking Wake is.
The Duraludon paradox is... okay, I guess. Don't really give a dang either way tbh.
Past Applin is my least favorite from these 4, but it still falls in the 'meh'/okay range for me.

I HATE what they did to my boy Raikou. That is all.

I like these designs. I'm just not a fan of seeing more pointless dex filler Paradoxes. As if legendaries weren't already elusive, and Paradoxes will likely be as well in future games... imagine legendary-based Paradoxes. What's next? Convergent regional paradox multiverse Mega Mewtwo forms?

The Johto trio seem to be getting a "meme" approach while the swords of justice basically get Cyborg-ed and not much else. Honestly this makes me more intrigued to see what kind of hilarious stuff they would do with Entei since that's harder to predict than Terrakion's outcome.

Interesting to see still fairly new Pokémon like Applin and Duraludon getting a new evolution when Kalos/Alola Pokémon didn't (outside regional variants). I mean... new evos usually help giving underused/overshadowed older Pokémon a new chance to shine, but these two are from just one gen ago, they could have been given those evos right away.

And actually, Duraludon evolving sounds insane. That thing already has an amazing typing and a BST above 500. Weren't for its awful Special Def it would be probably already broken as it is.

Oh wait the bottom two are new evos =O

doesn't really change much as they're still meh looking imo
But, this does make me a bit hopeful there will be more new evos in the DLC's. imo Duraludon and Applin didn't need them though. Guess we're getting a Candied Apple item for the new applin evo.
I'd have preferred a new evo for something like Castform, Spinda, Pincurchin or Kecleon.

I kind of find it weird that all the new Pokemon that aren't Paradox Pokemon are evolutions of Galar Pokemon...I'm not complaining, or anything, but it's been quite a long time since we got new evolutions of Pokemon from one generation prior. Interesting, nonetheless. I wonder if Dipplin evolves a second time, though.

Game Freak running out of ideas. It truly is sad to see. This is a sad day for Pokémon indeed. Archaludon does look cool though. I like it a lot.
