Enamorus: A Panderus Slanderous Landorus? | Gnoggin - Pokémon Legends Arceus

[@StickMaster500]

The fact that the Secret Fifth Member of the Forces of Nature is potentially Kyurem itself and with all the recent references to Unova and them adding Enamorus makes me almost convinced that we will be seeing the Original Dragon in some shape or form in the Gen 5 remakes and would be a missed opportunity if they didn't capitalise on it!

something else to add into that, somewhat, and also explains the genbu love connection, it was legitimately believed by scholars for quite a long time that turtles could not mate with other turtles, they could only mate with snakes, which is supposedly part of why genbu is both a turtle and a snake intertwined

[@munchikoopa3293]

Two things I’d like to point out. 1) Despite her seemingly obvious inspiration for her Therian form, unlike the other three, Enamorus’ stomach jewel isn’t the same color as the source. It’s actually green. So she breaks the mold. 2) It also seems pretty obvious with them being shoved into Hisui that Arceus is taking over the unofficial role as the fifth member. The Emperor, the Golden Dragon of the Center is also often expressed as the Qilin/Kirin. That’s generally accepted as a source inspiration for Arceus, as while it’s not a dragon type without its plate, it does share a lot of traits with the dragon trio of its own creation. So a dragon-deer chimera thing, heavily associated with the color yellow, revered as god and ruler of creation, and located in the center of the region…

[@tetravega567]

Arceus could also be inspired by Urcuchillay, a multi colored Llama god in Inca mythology.

[@captainmarsh3664]

Landorous's stomach gem isn't White, it's Yellow. It's weird how many people don't realize this. I guess it's because it's gem isn't shown very clearly in it's official art, unlike Thundurus and Tornadus Therian, and it's not like you ever get to really see the stomach, so people just assumed it formed a pattern.

Technically speaking, there is no Divine Beast of the Center. The Four Divine Beasts are manifestations of the Five Forms of the High Emperor, which are the Azure Emperor of the East, the Black (or Dark) Emperor of the North, the White Emperor of the West, the Vermilion Emperor of the South, and the Yellow Emperor of the Center. Each of these Emperor has various forms and associations. The Azure Emperor is wood, spring, and Jupiter; the Black Emperor is water, winter, and Mercury; the White Emperor is metal, autumn, and Venus; the Vermilion Emperor is fire, summer, and Mars; the Yellow Emperor is earth, the cycle of the year, and Saturn. That is merely scratching the surface of their associations. The Emperors all also have Dragon forms, which have the same titles but with Dragon instead of Emperor. The Dragons of the Four Cardinal Directions are the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, who collectively form the singular ultimate Dragon King, the god Technically speaking, there is no Divine Beast of the Center. The Four Divine Beasts are manifestations of the Five Forms of the High Emperor, which are the Azure Emperor of the East, the Black (or Dark) Emperor of the North, the White Emperor of the West, the Vermilion Emperor of the South, and the Yellow Emperor of the Center. Each of these Emperor has various forms and associations. The Azure Emperor is wood and spring, the Black Emperor is water, winter, and , the White Emperor is metal and autumn, the Vermilion Emperor is water and weather. The Yellow Emperor/Dragon is one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, specifically the third Emperor, and is therefore an ancestral god of China. He is also associated with all things earthly, including the underworld, and therefore the Yellow Dragon is the chthonic god as opposed to the Dragon King who rules over all things watery. This is where the Divine Beasts come in. You see, the Four Divine Beasts are actually constellation forms of the Emperors, but the Yellow Emperor doesn't have a constellation. The idea of a Yellow Dragon is simply borrowed from the Five Dragons, and the Yellow Qilin is contrived to add a representation of the Yellow Emperor to the set, despite neither making sense.

The "genies" actually look like they were made for Hisui all along. A traditional Japanese region like Hisuis or Johto is a much better fit for them. They dont really feel like they belong to Unova, which is very modern and urbanized. Even Sinnoh would not be that good for them. I bet they would be less unpopular if they were from Hisui or Johto.

[@malimaui2802]

Most likely they are originally from Hisui( which is the same place as Sinnoh ), but they just migrated to Unova. At least the original three did, not sure where Enamorus went.

[@DarkAngelEU]

Not alot of pokes feel like they belong to Unova because, to me, Unova can best be explained as representing the fact that USA is a hotch potch of many cultures, a country that is built by immigrants and colonialism. Even Africa gets represented with Blitzle and Zebstrika.

@@DarkAngelEU Hodgepodge* just so you know for later!

[@Cole_McGill]

Sinnoh and Hisui are the same location, just at different times. Legendary pokemon are present at all times(because they're immortal or have a way to produce a child before death). So if you think they only really match Sinnoh 200-300 years before DPPL(when PL:A takes place), maybe they'd be even better suited for Unova 2,500-3,000(roughly) years before BW(when the 2 brothers started fighting and the original Unovan dragon split).

At first, I didn’t like Enamorus because of how new and odd she was, but during the time she was in my party so I could fill out her Pokedex entry, I surprisingly got attached to her.

I have a theory as to why Enormous is only seen here. Maybe since it's part of the cardinal detections as the Tortoise and is about love it may have tried to help prevent the splitting apart of the original dragon. Being so close to it when it split may have led to a frenzied dragon attacking it. Leading either to its death or it going into hiding.

7:00 That's because the word therian/therium actually means beast in greek, hence why many prehistoric animals have it on their names, like the giant sloth Megatherium. 8:15 In other versions is a unicorn known as Qilin, or Kirin in Japan. 17:15 Fun fact, the Black Tortoise used to be a snake copulating a turtle because in China they used to believe that is how there reproduce. Also Enamorus can also be based on other goddesses of love, like how Aphrodite was push towards land after her birth by the god of wind Zephyrus, and some others like Isthar where related to the sky too. In fact the force of nature might actually represent the one about "getting on", like how many animals mating season occurs during spring.

I agree with that last part. Women are considered symbols of fertility. This is definitely a child friendly innuendo.

[@Sungura_Kaiser]

There's a piece of old lore in PL:A that states it hates the cold, and Sinnoh got colder overtime. That at least explains it not being in that region.

[@xxmension04xx47]

Actually from the dex entry, none of the forces of nature are native to Unova it seems. Possibly hailing from a different region and enamorus was lost to time but still exists

[@DahniSmith]

With the dex entries hinting that none of them are actually native to Unova, and with Enamorus clearly traveling to different regions based on the cold and seasons, its stays away from Sinnoh/Hisui whenever it gets too cold and only comes back in the spring, it doesn't make spring happen, it just follows the warm weather, and with how the other trio are wandering Pokémon that cause or follow weather patterns in Unova in routes as well, it's likely that the four of them are all travelling spirits, not inherently native to any singular region, but having a pattern of travelling between them, following seasonal climate changes and weather patterns, being as they all are travelling wind gods in some form or another, likely they're "natively" from the oceans that exist in-between regions, as oceans and wind patterns tend to be the major forces that control Weather in general The four of them are then all associated with the different cyclical Changes in nature, Tornadus is Changing Wind Currents that circle the earth, Thundurus is the Water Cycle Exchange that goes from cloud to ocean, Landorus is Changing Plant Growth as things seed grow flower and die (or alternatively, the nutrient cycle between producers, consumers/predators etc) and Enamorus is the Change of Seasons/Temperature going from hot warm cool to cold, and this too is represented in how they constantly change from therian to incarnate form They're not just Forces of Nature, they're the Forces of Change in Nature Enamorus just also gets the "Love" Association from its seasonal nature, because Spring is the Major Season that cultures tend to care about most, for a long time Spring marked the beginning of most calendars, as the end of the cold hard times and the re-emergence of the sun and Warmth, Spring becomes associated with new life and fertility, a time when things get reborn, new things grow or hatch or are born, and that is naturally associated with Love and Romance, the main use of Fertility Meaning it's highly likely that Enamorus probably gets associated with Eggs in Pokémon lore to some degree

[@gameuniverse5973]

Unless cogita the quest lady actually did keep enamorus after our player char died that why it no longer free like the other genies

[@TheAntiburglar]

While I don't think this has played a large role in its concept, "love" as an elemental force is actually solidly well represented in Greco-Roman mythology. Particularly, it is one of the few forces known to be stronger than Zeus/Jupiter (though more applicable to Zeus) as they are prone to falling prey to their "love" in the form of "lust" on myriad occasions. This is so deeply ingrained in the mythology that Eros is actually portrayed as both older and more powerful than Zeus, while simultaneously being younger and less powerful than Aphrodite. Good times :D

Yeah, if you look at how they were made, Aphrodite would actually be considered a Titan, not a God. Which makes her potentially ALOT more powerful than the other gods. She's just not ambitious enough to take the throne. Also, no way the Greeks would let a woman be in charge.

[@frenchiesottises8193]

I saw Enamorus as the mother or the nurturer. Thundurus and Tornadus create the seed needed to fertilize the soil, Landorus helps in that process and prepares the environment, and Enamorus helps nurture its inhabitants and brings any sort of change needed to help them thrive. It explains why she's a female since any sort of raising or nurturing is often the mother's job. As for her traveling from her home? I thought that maybe it was cause she takes her job so seriously that she willingly goes outside her domain to look after other inhabitants, especially since a caring mom will take just about anyone under her wing, no matter what. In a way, yeah, love is a force of nature. It's not just some metaphorical thing as it's been proven to override rational thinking and basic instincts.

I can't see Enamorus breaking the meta too hard. See, what makes Landorus so rough is that its Ground typing makes it immune to the Electric-type attacks that its Flying type makes it weak to...while the Flying Type makes it immune to the Ground-type attacks (read: EARTHQUAKE) that could hit it both strongly and neutrally. Likewise, its Ground type allows it to take neutral damage from the Rock-type moves that cripple other Flying type Pokemon...including Stealth Rocks. Its only real downfall is that 4x weakness to Ice-type attacks. ---- Enamorus being immune to Dragon-type attacks is nice, yeah. But it's still gonna be hindered by Stealth Rock, and with 5 solid weaknesses most match-ups will be able to get the drop on it. A Water-type Pokemon with an Ice-type move, plausible sets from a Pelipper or Barraskewda, would have no counter from Enamorus. And a Fini-check Toxapex (giving "Poison Jab" or such to counter Tapu Fini and other strong Fairy-type counters) having the advantage.

[@MechTechGunna]

Enamorus will definitely see use in a Doubles format as either a Trick Room threat through its Therian form. Heck I could see an Attract gimmick set to mess with opposing Landos.

[@noishfanboy1141]

actually in vgc theiran enamorus could be really game changing because it beats one of the best anti trick room mons and just one of the best pokemon in general in amoongus.having overcoat completely shuts down amoongus since it cant sleep you and it cant redirect with rage powder in fact this is so valuable that some builds of tornadus and thundurus incarnate run safety googles just for this so having that built in is really nice

[@RWBn00b]

I found it a bit odd that you skipped over Toyotama-hime as a possible inspiration. She's a deity who rides a sea turtle, and her myth is associated with birth(aka fertility and love), and many portrayals of her in japanese media have the "heart"-hair that Enamorus has- especially in anime. She's also the grandmother of Jimmu, the first japanese emperor(and his aunt, because her sister married her son).

[@SakuragiSayo]

Enamorus does not have a snake around her neck in her Incarnate form, if you pay attention, it attaches to where her hips/waist is, meaning it is her tail, just like the other three have tails.

Something that I like about Enamorus is that thematically she seems like a good counterpart to Landorus and helps counter the power of the other two. While Thundurus and Tornadus embody the destruction of storms, Landorus and Enamorus embody creation and fertility. Additionally, Landorus seems to embody Autumn as the season of harvest, while Enamorus embodies Spring as the season of love and mating.
