>>58658806Z-A was CRAZY GOOD to Zygarde honestly. I thought it would be hard to convey the "green snake dragon legendary acts as guardian deity in a region" without feeling like a Rayquaza copy, or doing it at all in a game that takes place entirely in a single city, but nope, if anything Zygarde looks more like a guardian that Rayquaza ever did, Fug feels like it stops Groudon and Kyogre because they are noisy loud neighbors that ruin its chill time and stopped the meteor only after Zinnia summons it and says they all are dying otherwise (and it wouldn't have been able to do it if Maxie/Archie didn't happen to give you the meteorite) but Zygarde all on its own
>saved Kalos from Lysandre's kamikaze attack in XY without getting any recognition>then saved Lysandre and turned him in its janny to fix the damage it got from his schizo rambling>kept an eye on you as you grew stronger and gave you its mega stone itself>tested you multiples times to ensure you are worth of its power and will be capable of mega evolving it>teamed up with you (without becoming your pokemon, all with complete free will and agenda) to stop Ange>got to wield the power of Z-moves' light in its mega nuke form because it went to Alola for a training arc>only after all this and after you prove you can also correct the excesses from life (Xerneas) and death (Yveltal) it allows you to become its partner, but only if you best it in a boss battle firstUnprecedented levels of chadness.
