>>34607119>>The Unova legends were tied to the whole Murica thing they were pushing for, and also the whole technology vs nature crap from that gen.French musketeers were "pushing for Murcia?" How the hell does that make any sense. They don't represent anything.
>You named a bunch of mythical PokemonAnd? They still count as legendaries, and considering some DO represent stuff like Shaymin (gratitude) and Arceus (creation) and Victini (victory), it's important to note the ones that don't just as much.
>Deoxys was originally an eventmon but it's basically the first pokemon from outer-space, which is enough of a featAnd that's not representing anything; it's just a spacemon, which they'd already hinted at with Clefairy.
>>The Regis are titans that were worshiped by people from their respective environments, which is the whole theme of gen 3They're robots built by Regigigas for a bunch of cavemen. That's not being the representative or embodiment or whatever of anything. They're just ancient robots.
If you can justify the Regis and the Musketeers as apparently representing something due to following their respecive gen's themes, then UBs must be taken into consideration under this same logic. Ohmori stated that Alola was designed under the ideas of life, ecosystem, and nature. That's why we have stuff like Oricorio and the Alola forms there, and it's also why we have the UBs; they're designed to be representative of invasive species, which fits the theme of the region and the gen just as well as the Regis and the Musketeers do of theirs (the physical environment, and clashing ideals respectively), if not better than the former.
