>>47001561It was designed as a mythic, much like Zarude. But it's just a powerless mon in general, doesn't look powerful, doesn't look imposing, doesn't look intimidating, doesn't look mysterious, doesn't look like it belongs to the pokemon universe at all. While I hate the "haha le funny" argument they really nailed it on Calyrex, it's like a foster mansion reject or sorts with twigs for limbs and a really deformed round head, it's not a royal design at all. Not even if you pretend it's the kindly royal design, those at least carry themselves with dignity. The whole fetch quest to get the horse was a badly written joke. A being that is controlling a human needs our help for [anything]?
It almost seem like they saw the Stantler memes and thought "time to make a humanoid stantler as a joke. That will teach them".
OP had this comparison between mewtwo and Calyrex and the more I look to Calyrex the less I hate gen 5 dragons with their motorized tails. And mind you, those look REALLY out of place.
tl;dr le funny memes were right, calyrex looks more like a round fakemon than a legendary
