Does anyone else think Groundon is not a good legendary? It's not well designed and it's not very noteworthy like the other two.
Rayquaza and Kyogre actually look like legendaries while Groundon is just... there for no reason. I don't understand how it appeals to anyone.

Kyogre looks shit compared to Groudon, who shares an aesthetic with Rayquaza.

Maybe you can't, lawl. It's clearly a land dwelling primordial entity, aka a Dinosaur, just like Kyogre. Giant Land Dino, Giant Sea Dino, Giant Sky Dino, it's a trio, and as someone who also got stuck with Sapphire, I prefer Groudon, it's objectively better than Kyogre. Fug as a whole different story though.

Gamefreak originally made gen 3 with floods in mind before they decided to create a counter legendary for the sake of continuing the duo legends versions that was started in the previous one (where even that have Lugia shoehorned in late in Development). That explains why Groudon's droughts seems lacking in comparisons to Kyogre's thunderstorms (though they could include a fucking heat wave effect, and the grunts complaining about how fucking hot it becomes).

But it's a good legendary all around, especially as a counter to Kyorgre; but, it was thrown there as a afterthought.

>just like Kyogre
>Giant Sea Dino
Kyogre is an orca, part of the cetacean family. Cetaceans are not dinosaurs.
>Giant Sky Dino
Rayquaza is an Asian dragon, reinforced with its Mega Evolution's design. Also, dinosaurs were strictly land-dwelling animals; the flying animals (e.g. Pteranodon, Quetzalcoatlus) and marine animals (e.g. mosasaurs, plesiosaurs) commonly thought to be dinosaurs were actually reptiles.

Kyogre is literally a Liopleurodon, literally look it up. The premise is a Prehistoric Sea Creature, Liopleurodon, and the design inspiration is a modern Orca. Duh. Rayquaza's design is clearly heavily inspired by the Asian dragons, however, it's undeniable it's premise is a basic Pteranadon.

So... Groudon is a legendary who's only purpose is to be an opposite of Kyogre? Why did they add it just for continuing the duel legendary theme? It sounds like a waste to me, It would have been better if it was only Kyogre.

It's inspired by Asian Dragons, which have no wings, hence why its premise is so subtle, but it's unmistakable. Pteranadon's have teeth, Pterosaurs don't, Rayquaza has exactly 4 teeth, iirc, as do Pteranadons.
