What was the very first thing you thought when you saw arceus?

[kabigon]

I thought: "WTF?This is the pokemon god? Failure."

 

[Barkovitch]

I wondered whether or not it was a goat for a while.

I wondered whether or not it was a goat for a while.

LOLOL!!! Nice one dude...

Well to meh... I though it was a fake mon but then people started talkin about teh god of pokemon...it does look ok but... shouldn't it be more uber looking... i mean it is a god...

 

[Buoysel]

I though "What the hell is this?!?"

I didn't find out until later that it was the pokemon god, and then I was like, "wow, that sucks."

 

[Zennerick]

My first thought was: "What is that thing around him?!"

...And I STILL don't even have a clue what it is.

 

[Becky_x]

I thought "Oohniice"

Then I thought "This'll be a good grass type!"

And as a final thought it was "Ooh, effective against all 3 main types!"

 

[Circuit]

It is somewhat ok but I would like something more ferosious (spelling?). Like Groudon. And that thing around him/her? Is it a type barrier (it makes the pokemon the type of the plate it stores in a pouch or something). If so, maybe other pokemon can get it if taken off Arceus and put on someone else. Like Groudon. >D heheheh.

EDIT: When I saw the size I was like; WT... It is sooooo small, and for a GOD pokemon geez.

My first thought:

"...Those gold things look like a steering wheel."

My second thought thereafter was the image of me seizing Arceus by the (arms? appendages?) and attempting to flip him over.

My third thought was the image of me trying to hang things on said appendages.

Mostly, I was distracted by that golden thing. I wasn't even aware that it was supposed to be the creator god until much later. But then that made me even more amused by those mental images. (To this day, I think Arceus should have Christmas lights strung on those things. They'll make him more sparkly.)

 

[Haza]

When I first saw it I said " Ive got to get and Action Replay because I will never get one without it!" so I got one but I need to get another one.

 

[Skaterzpenguin]

It looks weird, and I didn't believe it was the god of pokemon at first, and it doesn't look strong enough either, but oh well... idk XD

I was just thinking how badly Nintendo screwed Diamond/Pearl over.

 

[superaipom]

My first thought: BEAST!!!!!!

 

[Wulf]

"Great...there's more after Gargantina...****"

 

[Percy Thrillington]

Hm, I was talking to my friend who used to play Pokémon Crater with me on MSN and he sent me a link to a picture of Arceus, telling me this Pokémon was being called the God of all Pokémon. My first thought was me wondering whether or not he was joking and my second was me realising I wasn't impressed by the appearance of the so-called God. The third thing I thought was what happened to Mew? It was, after all, the Original One. The ancestor of all Pokémon. To this day, I still don't have an answer for that question.

Long story short; Arceus did not entertain me.

 

[sirboulevard]

I my first reaction was: This was going a little too far. 1) Crossing people's religous beliefs. 2) Poorly designed. 3) Judging by Nintendo's reaction to it (and the fact the Anime staff appears to not know of it), it might become the first pokemon to retconned out of existance in the next Generation (no Star Trek pun intended)

 

[Saltare.]

I though "WTF? What the hell is this thing?!?!?!?!" Then I caught it and named it Parker :)

 

[Bludycomicsinc]

I asked myself "is this a goat or a pokemon."

 

[Lee Jin Tyz]

i thought it looked like a ram that got a nice belt when it got animated. i dont think it is good enough to be a god though.

 

[The Bringer!]

Unlike almost every other person in this thread, I thought arceus wasn't all that bad.

 

[nssfleahedgehog]

I believe when I first saw it on Serebii.net, I thought something like "Wow, the god of all Pokemon. It's the strongest of all." I did think it was really odd looking, but I shrugged it off.
