I love that Endram Odai's typing isn't Dark, Ghost, or Psychic but instead Dragon-Fairy. It's an example of a sinister, evil Pokemon not necessarily being Dark, since the belief that the Dark type is simply evil, shadows, emo type stuff. A sinister legendary Pokemon, that erupts in Infinite Energy, that we struggle to perceive the true form of is amazing.

[@TheMasterBlaze]

Considering how Lockstin defines the dragon and fairy typings; the whale having both the magic types and just be this giant reality bending monster only makes sense with the Eldritch direction and the red dragon in revelation.

[@zacharymaher2855]

@DaFuzzBearYT Yeah man. Ghost, Psychic, Poison, definitely. But some other types can be sinister by themselves. A Water Type that drowns its prey, Fairies that are mischievous, and cruel. Fire Type arsonist 🔥🔥🔥... So much potential for evil 😈.

@@TheMasterBlaze Dragon and Fairy are both essentially the default 'magic' types of Pokemon. Im just so happy to see an evil Pokemon that isn't inherently Dark type.

[@TheMasterBlaze]

@@zacharymaher2855 I figured it's design was a red herring after watching the plot video and hearing about the parasite, but yeah. It's mad nice to not have another edgy dark type.

[@IgnatiusBlaze4]

I mean it's not just a belief that's actually what dark type is since in Japan it is called the evil type. I do agree though, and it's original, a very powerful combination, not done before. I don't count temporary form change things like Mega Altaria or Galarian Darmanitan, therefor ice fire and dragon fairy would be brand new types in my opinion.

[@acheronrecusant]

Until the fan game is released, my personal headcanon is that Endram-Odai's parasite is a colony of or secretion made by the Orbtholod, because IMO the buildup they were given by the Plot Video made it seem anticlimactic that they were just scouts, and the parasite idea sort of came out of nowhere. This would make the Orbtholod themselves the true main antagonists of the game, while still keeping their motives, origins, and true nature unknown and unknowable.

[@atommidas200]

They don’t say where the parasite comes from, so this is cannon to whoever reads this.

[@xandercrosby3757]

I personally think that the Orbtholod were originally just like cultists, worshipping the parasite on Endram-Odai and hoping to control it. But then the Parasite got its hands on the space whale and then they become the servants instead.

[@windsmith4048]

I find it interesting that people could interprent something so different from the creator's intent. I thought that endram odai was based after the British columbian legend of the thunder bird and the orca. Long story short an orca was at the moulth of a river eating all the salmon that were going to spawn, the people up river were getting hungery so they asked the thunder bird to move the orca so the fish would go up stream, so the thunder bird picked up the orca and dropped it on a mountain. Endram odai has a past with the thunder bird and the main character sees them for the first time on a mountain, also ORCA, ODAI are both four letter words that start with O and has an A near the end.

[@cognitiveAfflatus]

[@starsilverinfinity]

@@luxiwayfarer369 It would tie things together really nicely too Ortholobs and Odai are the same mon, or wrather Ortholobs are like small pieces of it left behind to ensure that they could return - perhaps torn off by the great thunderbird itself (Would be neat if there were like little Ortholobs shaped markings on its body to signify this) And then abit like necrozma it fused with - well not remains since the thunderbird in this context would be alive, perhaps its . . .soul? It is some super powerful entity capable of fighting these eldritch pokemon so it wouldnt be too weird. So it fuzed with the soul as extra added insult to keep it at bay and harness its power And yeah - being able to capture the full parasite would be pretty lit Perhaps it pokes up again and starts causing trouble

Than the music slowly shifts to a triumphant and hopefully tone as if the original is winning the battle for the control, but the happy tone is cut and the music becomes gloomy again as if the parasite is still in control and the music loops which lead to understand that this battle between these two beings has always been happening and it'll continue unless the trainer help defeat this Cosmic Parasitic Dragon Horror.

[@It-Will-All-Be-Okay-I-Promise]

@@jacobs5546 It could make sense if you tweaked it so that while it isn’t actually “millions of light years long”, its mind-melting and extradimensional nature makes its body seem as though it is, filling your vision and environment as a way to intimidate and further distract you. This could also be a part of the battle, maybe giving every Pokémon an intimidate attack drop when they come in against it, or it could just have a boosted intimidate ability. Like: Ability: Unthinkable Every turn a Pokémon stays in against this Pokémon its attack is lowered by one stage and special attack is lowered by two stages Or it could just be an ability that makes it immune to special attacks, but that might be even more broken. Edit: Returning to this, Unthinkable is a little too unbalanced, even for an endgame Eternamax Eternatus style battle. A more balanced version of this ability would be either: “Every time a opposing Pokémon comes in against this Pokémon, its attack and special attack are lowered by one stage/its special attack is lowered by two stages” or if that’s still too overwhelming for the fight, then “When the user of this ability comes in, the opposing Pokémon’s special attack and physical attack are lowered by two stages” that way it has plenty of counterplay during this fight, though that might make it too easy for what it is canonically. Pokémon with Unaware, Inner Focus, and similar abilities will still be affected by Unthinkable, since no amount of mental fortitude, nor ignorance can save you from the despair of the incomprehensible.

@@Taterr__Tott Now wouldn't that be interesting, a Pokemon game that starts normal, but at the middle point, the main villain is nearly beaten by you, but flees into another universe to have it's revenge in a world where you couldn't follow. Thus, you would have to wait and do a quest or two before your resident NPC scientist/Professor is able to finagle a universe transporter, and teleport you through space-time. The latter half of the game would be different from the first half, with the BBEG altering his methods to make his local self avoid other-you's attention, and their eventual defeat. At the climax, you have to fight him and his counterpart, alongside this universe's you and his team, in a climactic double battle of the ages.
