>>49051907>It is tied to SWSH just as much as basically any mythical is aside from Mew and Celebii, which has actual in game references. Basically none of the other mythicals had anything in game about them.Bullshit they don't. Darkrai and Arceus both have in-game events are tied to legendaries already in the game. Shaymin has connections to Floaroma Town and the Gracidea flower you get there helps it change form.
Victini is found at Liberty Pass for reasons unknown. Keldeo is explicitly connected to one of the legendary trios of the game, and Genesect was created by the game's evil team .
Hell even Diancie and Volcanion had some relevance to Kalos, with the former having an implicit connection to Mega Evolution.
>Also Zarude literally looks nothing like Rillaboom or any of the grookey line. It's a fucking grass monkey dude. Even if GF gave them different enough designs it doesn't change they're basically the same gimmick.
It'd be like if in Unova we got a early stage bug type that evolved into a kinda neat robo bug that was also kinda useful late game, and then they gave us Genesect acting like we didn't already get a robo bug.
>Zerarora sucks ass much worse than any other mythical and looks like someone's weird sonic oc. I dont give a fuck about him.No argument here
>Melmetal is an abomination and belongs to literally no region. It's bullshit made up for Pokemon Go and probably should have been introduced in SwSh due to the mechanical shit in that gameAgain, no argument.
>Zarude is cool and was given way more lore and real life reference than any of those.So this is the hill you want to die on eh? Fine. You can like it as much as you want, but that doesn't change it has NO connection to SHSW or Galar whatsoever.
