>>46299027I don’t know but it felt like Legends had lost their value. In XY you saw Xerneas as this mystifying being shrouded in the fog, Zygarde was this immensely powerful world-ending and world saving anomaly, the Hoenn Legends were near unstoppable masses of destruction, Darkrai able to use his power just by people being within its presence and even the Kanto birds who were admittedly weaker than the bunch but still showed why they are considered Legendary.
Meanwhile in Sun and Moon, Legends/Mythicals were a joke. The Tapus were lazy fucks that couldn’t do anything much less hold their own against a single Guzzlord. Lunala could not last a second on screen without being flung around or trying to escape Necrozma. Kyogre was captured by a small group of pirates, Zeraora couldn’t take down a single Guzzlord, Magearna did absolutely nothing but act as a GPS, Celebi was just another excuse for a random travel episode, Type: Null and Silvally were as horrible as they are ingame, and Meltan/Melmetal were as underutilized as you could expect. Not even any backstory for why they exist or where they come from, they just do.
