4th Gen Guardians of the Lake

[Dragon]

Amongst the legendaries of the region are creatures that can control various aspects such as time, some living in volcanoes while others in a soft, calm meadow. They were all over the place and everywhere you looked, they popped out everywhere. One of the various trios in D/P/Pt, was the Lake Guardians which was made up of Uxie, Mespirit and Azelf. They resembled three characteristics and made several appearances within the game, the first with Mespirit when you and your rival explore Lake Verity in Platinum.

They're also seen to be chased by Team Galactic quite a bit, as they are wanted for their power, their strength, to open up the Distorion World for the cruel commander, Cyrus. After all the chaos has ended, which you the player help to do, the Guardians return to their lakes except for Mespirit who begins roaming the region, you can finally engage with them in battle and catch them.

All of them have fairly similar stats and all are psychic types. They have some tricky moves up their sleeves along with other various strategies. So what did you think of them in general? Was the storyline behind them good? What could of been improved? Would you of liked them to be higher levelled, a different typing etc.?

I liked the story line behind these and thought the idea of them all guarding a different lake throughout Sinnoh was really cool and I liked how they were all in sorta different climates. My favourite is probably Azelf, I really like its design :3

Actually they're wanted for their red crystals, which get forcibly extracted to create the Red Chain...

Wait a second.

Above all, above all, harm not
the Pokémon.
In a scant five days, the offender
will grow immobile in entirety.

Looks like Cyrus is in trouble.

Azelf is my favorite because it's super cute. The shiny is great. Also it learns Explosion.

I think it's cool how the three are based on human characteristics and also the Japanese Regalia. I remember being a bit frustrated at Mesprit being a roaming legendary when I was younger, but now I can appreciate that it's supposed to represent how it runs away to prevent people from touching it (and subsequently losing all their emotions).
