5th Gen Dragonspiral Tower

[Ho-Oh]

Dragonspiral tower...

The lead up to it in the games made you think it was going to be super important. The strong dragons nearby, the Golurk, the fact that it had a huge puzzle you had to navigate through...

And yet N's castle took the cake. It was the place you remember. Dragonspiral? It was just an ominous tower of doom...that didn't have as much purpose as you thought it did.

What did you think of it? Love it? Found it really misleading? What would you change and how would you make it even better? Would have you liked that to be Kyurem's home? Did you struggle with the puzzle you had to navigate up the top?

Share your thoughts on the tower!

The puzzle wasn't too hard I thought, I agree though that it seemed like itd be much more important. Yet here we are and I barely remember it.

I really like the idea that we could Kyurem there. Would've been a bit fairy tale like with the Dragon guarding the tower. I know I would've much rather scaled a tower to catch the Dragon than traverse an icy wasteland that I kept getting lost in -.- Alas I can understand why that wasn't the case, as much as I now wish it was.

Well ,
Dragonspiral was not that appealing to be neither was Kyurem's Cave .
They both was extremely boring .
Dragonspiral somewhat reminded me of Ho-oh's tower (forgot the name) from HeartGold .
I strongly think that it could have been drastically innovated with various dragon based mechanisms to give it a difficulty as ,
AS , a freaking Legend can be resurrected from that place , it weighs a lot to the story line and needs to be creative .
Same goes with Kyurem's surrounding .
That was like a stroll in the park .

I guess what would have been cool is if they redesigned it a bit and at the back there was a secret entrance to Kyurem's resting place. Like you wouldn't know it until you secretly stumbled upon it type thing. Or even a string Dragonite. I dunno something lol

Seemed a bit odd that it was placed in the ice town but it just seemed like another place. I kinda wish we would learn more about it, but I wish that about a lot of places and unfortunately we're still left in the dark :(

It would have been cool if the lore behind the location gave it more prominence, but it's still a rather important place, as it's where N awoke his legendary for the first time.

Although, I will admit the Tower was more impactful to me in the sequels, because that's where N releases his Dragon for the player to capture. That was such a bittersweet moment in the games for me...

Actually, considering it's the location where N joins forces with, and then later releases, his legendary partner, there's this sort of cyclical aspect associated with Dragonspiral Tower.

Yeah, N's Castle may be more memorable... but it's the final location in the game. It almost has to be the most memorable. But Dragonspiral Tower has its impact too, and in the grand scheme of things I think it's more important than people are giving it credit for.

Ice... more reasons why Kyurem should have been there! Iced over the town to protect anyone bad from finding it there.

Or imagine if we found Kyurem in Cold Storage... I would've been even more annoyed than it not being here lol
