>>44349413Based reasoning for normal Arceus, and I agree bc while liking Betagod I don't dislike what we have either. The finished one while not invoking cthulhu, is still badass on its own.
I think that if GF wanted to, they could easily incorporate both as lore for the series. The beta design can invoke primitive cave-art, or describe what Arceus was like before gaining actual "form" a further reference for the beta being a placeholder.
>>44350137As a fellow man of culture, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but consider this. The datamine and especially the Beta designs gave us all something new to ponder, discuss, debate, and have fun with in the case of fanart interpretation. It opened a new chapter in the history of the franchise, and that in itself is worthwhile.
