[@jasonfoxfire9563]

You know, when you mentioned the whole legendary thing with Arven, of it being the god of big jump it made me realize something. Koraidon and Miraidon aren't big godly pokemon and... When you actually think about it, aren't even actual legendaries because they're ancestors and future versions of Cyclizar, a completely normal pokemon. So, whenever they're from they're just your average everyday pokemon. Kinda reminds me of how Lucario used to be thought of as a mythical pokemon because of his rarity but really was just another ordinary pokemon. Granted, in this case, they at least still qualify as legendaries given circumstances. Just kinda neat when you think about it.

[@Shape430]

Yeah though what I find weird about them not being actual legendaries is if that's the case then why were sada/turo only able to bring 2 over but every other paradox pokemon there seemed to be no limit.

[@kaylawoodbury2308]

There are more legendaries that aren't God's then ones that are, just strong and rare Pokemon. So they're pretty typical of legendary Pokemon.

[@jasonfoxfire9563]

@@Shape430 Actually, it's explicitly stated in game that the professor was only ever to bring over 2 of each of the paradox pokemon. Why the game tells you this when you just walked past like 50 of them I don't get. Might be referring specifically to the ones they brought over when they were alive or it may just be an inconsistency the devs ignored for the sake of not locking you out of getting a few of these non-legendaries to train up.

[@jasonfoxfire9563]

@@kaylawoodbury2308 I'm more so referring to the fact that the general classification of a legendary is that there's usually only one in existence. The exception to this being Celebi but that's the same Celebi just from several other timelines. Though with the way the time machine is talked about it sounds like they're pulling them from the same timeline each time and the fact that they are confirmed to be past and future versions of Cyclizar. Very few legendaries are gods in general in all fair honesty.

[@chefgreasypaw7816]

They could’ve died out in the future so there were only a few ones left alive and maybe the past ones were very strong but they evolved to be smaller and weaker to be able to hide from some other predator

[@BloodKills]

I find the no terastallising and no items rules weird, cause in the anime Cynthia mega evolves Garchomp (Meaning she's not opposed to gimmicks like you seem to think she would be), and she very much uses items

[@LunarAnimeAngel]

I think the reason those rules are in play because if he used items or Terastallization, it would be too easy and this is meant to be a challenge

[@jasonfoxfire9563]

To be fair, he's already Cynthia who is one of the strongest trainers to date. Terastallization would make it too easy. The no items rule is just a natural rule of any hardcore challenge because you could easily use items to beat pretty much the entire game.

[@kaylawoodbury2308]

Its called a challenge because it's meant to be challenging.

[@shamarlewis5915]

I’m gonna be honest he could of done it if he wanted it’s self set rules Ive seen some challenges were you can crystalize

[@solgaleo3533]

I think it’s from the hardcore rule set similarly to why there’s a level cap, although there isn’t the typical Nuzlocke ruleset

@@Splatoobyeah he’s not trying to be EXACTLY like Cynthia just have a similar character and Pokémon, the rules are self imposed on every “Can__ beat Pokémon ___?” Whether the character actually would do it or not.

[@Fujoshi1412]

Would have been interesting to see what the substitute for the Pokémon she couldn’t have would have been. As I fully doubt she would have not adapted her team to suit whatever region she was going to conquer. Likewise it would be interesting to see what of the new Paldea Pokémon she would have used.

[@dontatmeimmoody2895]

I actually came up with a team the other day for her if she was in Paldea Garchomp, Lucario, Spiritomb, Glaceon, Armorouge and Arboliva were the ones I think she’d use

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Seeing you not Terastalize was...a struggle. Anime Cynthia Mega-evolved her Garchomp and Dynamaxed her Togekiss. If she was in Paldea, she'd most definitely Terastalize. Yes it's meant to be a challenge, but it's weird you didn't let your character do that since you went by anime Cynthia rules in the past. Also, you could've gotten Glaceon MUCH earlier in the game if you simply went to the Dalizapa Passage before Cortondo as there's an Ice Stone on a cliff that you could've reached. I love Larry's Gym. Not just because he's Larry, but also the idea an eatery can be a Gym as Medali is the foodie city. Not to mention the Gym test have trainers going on a wild goose chase so he could eat in peace. Well played, Larry

[@thewhitefox6478]

@KeeganJ_01BONK BOT

[@ssjmatt8424]

I was watching this and I knew the early game would be very difficult. Since the pokemon used are weak until fully evolved, then they become POWER HOUSES after the fact. I haven't seen the rest of it since Iono yet and intend to watch the rest. But I predict the later stages will be much easier.

[@markutoslalaguna]

I guess the pokedex entry for koraidon is something like "It can bend the fabric of space to execute impossible leaps" to justify its entry. All that said, cool design tho

[@damionbressler2272]

This is the problem I have with this. I agree Cynthia wouldn't intentionally handicap herself. She like any good Pokemon Trainer would use anything and everything at her disposal. That means no Pokemon is off limits and so on. This is why she's the strongest champion, not because of how op her team but because of how much she loves Pokemon and helping others understand what they are doing wrong in the raising and training of their Pokemon.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

When you have to destroy Shinies because Cynthia didn't have the Pokémon...that's rough, buddy. Ryme is a top ten rapper Eminem is too afraid to diss. If Cynthia invited Ryme to Sinnoh's League to roast Cynthia's opponents when they reach Cynthia's chamber, they'd be a perfect combo. I like how each of the characters you meet along your journey from Nemona to the Team Star bosses and the Gym leaders are named after plants. Nemona comes from the genus Nemophila or baby blue eyes, Larry comes from spotted laurel (his Japanese name is Aoki, which means spotted laurel), Grusha is the Russian word for pear, Mela in Italian means apple, to name a few.
