have you guys ever really looked at a pokemon and noticed that something feels weird about it? Like how the flying fuck does reshiram even walk with those weird ass legs, much less fly with those giant wings that should create drag, not lift?

yeah reshiram has absolutely terrible anatomy too, the wings are just as messed up as the legs. it's gotten a little better but there was a period where a bunch of legendaries had really shitty looking legs.

It flies by propelling itself with its tail like Zekrom

see zekrom is in the same boat, a giant fuckin generator does NOT mean you should be able to fly with those tiny wings
>>40281498
ok but how can it steer or even take off? The thing is covered in so many flowing hair things that it should have worse drag than the woman's entertainment network
>>40281510
how does it even move with that rack on its head?

It's a penis. While Reshiram is predominantly female, it possesses a masculine feature to keep the whole two sides of the same coin theme. Meanwhile Zekrom has child birthing hips as its feminine feature in contrast to the rest if its masculine design.

Don't underestimate Reshiram's strength. It's a legendary pokemon for a reason.

Zekrom specializes in physical attack and it can still scorch the planet's surface. I'm not seeing the issue here.

strength is irrelevant for flight. reshiram weighs 330kg.

Zekrom doesn't fly, it levitates via electromagnetic bullshit. It's also very obvious its wings aren't used for flight as they're fixed in place.

See, reshiram can't even walk! It has to force itself to hover really uncomfortably, and Zekrom's not even trying. He's just floating ffs.
>>40281660
I'd imagine a massive ball of lightning(which is known to scorch things and set shit on fire) would do a pretty fine job setting the planet aflame. Still doesn't explain how Reshiram can fly. It also doesn't explain how the fuck two pokemon prophesized to destroy the world jobbed to a genie with jewelry.

I've always had this question about a lot of bipedal mons desu. Maybe it would get cleared up by watching the anime but idk. it seems like a lot of mons have short enough legs that they would just have to waddle to get around, which is pretty lame on the whole.
the mystery dungeon games do some of them justice with walking animations, and hgss similar but less so.

in a lot of art some of these mons' lower legs are pushed out a bit in front of the rest of their body, it's whack

I haven't seen the Hoopa movie but isn't that thing basically Palkia on steroids?

I'm showing you how Reshiram can possibly walk on land. Theoretically, it would walk like a bird.
>Isn't it the one that specializes in special attack?
Game stat distribution and lore doesn't always mesh together properly. Even so, it doesn't mean Reshiram lacks strength. Reshiram's base attack stat is 120 while his base sp. attack is 150.

Lugia weighs 476.2 and yet can fly at ease.

>>40281757
I don't think it's ever cleared up in the anime either. They either jump around to move in battle, aren't shown moving all that much, or move in some other way. You seriously expect me to believe that abomasnow can somehow navigate mountains with those stubby little legs?
>>40281797
I misunderstood you, sorry about that. I thought you were saying that's how it would walk because they were the same type of legs.

Lugia's wings are fucking huge though. Reshiram has that bumblebee problem. The way the hands pop out is fucking strange too. The shape of the wings suggests a birdlike configuration but the hands get in the way of that. Like the whole arm and elbow is held out straight but the wrist is locked at 90, meaning feathers are trailing backwards like hanging fur instead of out into the shape of a wing. Reshiram has skinny shoulders and a small chest which doesn't look like it supports powerful flight muscles. The wings themselves are attached with a pretty thin joint. Small upper body and fat dragging ass don't really communicate "this thing can fly".

Yeah, but lugia kinda has the same issue. Size isn't the issue, it's how they're structured that is. Birds need big muscular arms in addition to their hollow bones and air sacs to take off, or else they're gonna break their wings when they flap. Most, if not all, of his birds have ridiculously thin twigs for arms that look like they can't carry the weight of the huge wing feathers and will snap by the sheer force of the feathers alone once they flap their wings. Resh and Lugia have these weird grotesque flappy appendages, not wings.
