Did you honestly think that an organic lifeform would be capable of doing that? Like, its dewlap and tail would need to disconnect from the main body in order to be able to do that. Game Freak made the observation and saw how weird it was.

I originally thought he was going to roll around on the one big tire like a motorized unicycle, I still love him more though because he won me over with that smile :)

[@KnakuanaRka]

First off, why does the ancient Koraidon look like a modern motorcycle in the first place? Second off, those useless wheels may be “flotation devices” in water as claimed, but on land, they just look like they’d scrape against the ground and get in the way of walking. Plus Koraidon looks awkward without the tail, which would probably be much more helpful for balance than as a stupid wheel.

[@DistantKingdom]

Ye the design contradicts the theme. Doesn't work conceptually

[@KnakuanaRka]

@@DistantKingdom Yeah; either Koraidon should just move like a normal animal, or if it absolutely has to have a vehicle mode, maybe it could have been designed around something more time-appropriate like a chariot or palanquin.

[@nautilume7114]

Finally someone else states exactly what I’m thinking. Moto-koriadon doesn’t embrace his ancient theme at all, it looks like he’s trying to imitate the future out of jealousy or something

[@KnakuanaRka]

@@nautilume7114 Yeah, I get how they’re supposed to be parallel, but other legendary pairs have diverged far more than them; they didn’t need to stick that close together. Again, maybe Koraidon could have turned into a more time-appropriate vehicle like a chariot, or even just stayed in their animal form.

[@larsthememelord3383]

hes a retro motorcycle also a chairiot would look goofy as fuck what would the pokemon be the chairiot or the horses how would you pull that off without it being a chairiot with googly eyes why not go back further and make it an actual wheel just one or why not just have it be a horse because they pull chairiots right why not make it be legs because thats the oldest type of transport

[@webbowser8834]

To be clear, the issue is not that one moves using wheels and the other runs, that's actually a really cool contrast that helps distinguish the two mons/versions. The issue is that Koraidon has these large wheel-like protrusions that he not only doesn't use while running but also would actively hinder its overland movement, and that just makes it look dumb. Having them puff up in the water is fine and would actually be kinda cool though.

It almost feels like the motorbike form in Koraidon's design but scrapped halfway through to make it properly "organic". I'm mostly loving the look of the games so far, but Koraidon's ride design is absolutely terrible if it doesn't use those wheels, and I don't know how it made it out of the design department. I was honestly skeptical of Koraidon's design from the start, and I really think the design needs changed. It's honestly bad design, with how clumsy it is. The wheels need scrapped, and they should just commit to running on all fours. It would fit the past and future theme- Koraidon representing transportation of the past (organic), and Miraidon representing transportation of the future (technological). Either way, definitely sticking with Violet, and my smooth robo bike dergon.

So what? Have every Legendary forever be this big endgame thing that's hyped up throughout the game's story, and for all the power it promises when you finally catch the damn thing, it gets one-shot by the first member of the Four Heavenly Kings? Screw that, and screw you- I fell for that gag before, and it wasn't funny the first time. At least this way, I'll actually have a sentimental reason for keeping it in my party once it's officially mine. Plus, I think it's made pretty obvious how ferocious these "toothless ersatz" mons can be when we learn that a bigger and stronger 'Raidon _killed someone_ who was trying to protect the 'Raidon partnered with us, traumatizing it in the process.

[@Zvoosh25]

Idk why everyone is freaking out about this. I think it makes sense a living breathing pokemon wouldn't have a weird wheel system incorporated into it's throat, and having it run like the Flintstones is awesome. Maybe these "wheels" are what inspired modern bikes.

[@DistantKingdom]

rolycoly is a living breathing pokemon with a weird wheel system. there's also turtles with a weird turret system in its back lol

[@Zvoosh25]

@@DistantKingdom I mean rolycoly is definitely more of a rock than a living thing like Koraidon, but I guess I hear your point about Blastoise lol

[@critter_core]

@@Zvoosh25 I think they could have gone with this and it would have been fine. I don’t mind Koraidon having wheels that aren’t wheels. I just don’t know why they made these wheels so big when they’re running. They only need it to be that big when they’re swimming. They could have made the wheels a bit smaller and it wouldn’t look as ridiculous 😔 If it helps, I like the box art of Koraidon, this was just kinda oof

[@DistantKingdom]

Rolycoly is just as alive as any other pokemon tho

[@critter_core]

@@DistantKingdom it does have a certain sentience, I agree

[@M3LP]

Imagine creating wheels on a creature, but having that creature carry such a heavy item only for it to never use it. It's like giving humans wings with rockets, only for humans to waste their traveling time by walking, smh.

@@fatebags Animals in real life like cheetahs have a huge lung capacity, yet those huge lungs are tucked away into its lithe and sleek body to optimize its running speed. They aren't puffing up and hanging below its body to risk it tripping on them or getting in the way of its stride.

These legendaries remind me of the eidolons from FF13, specifically Shiva since it also turns into motorcycle. Except worse. At least the eidolons looked mechanical so the bike form didn't look odd when they changed.

[@anonymousalien7417]

Honestly agree. The Shiva bike is literally the two Shiva sisters scissoring each other, and somehow it looks much better than what Pokémon tried to do lol

[@Closer2Zero]

As cool as the *concept* is, they both look fucking ridiculous in ‘bike’ mode

[@rodridante]

I get the reasoning for them not spinning, but they really look detrimental for Koraidon's mobility. Besides, don't we have Pokémon like Buizel that spin their tails in an impossible way despite not being artificial?

[@2-bit567]

Nobody wants to talk about that.

[@miguelcabreracastro6968]

yeah but Buizel´s tail looks like a tail, not like a propeller. There are maaaaany artificial pokemon, but when they look artificial, its because they actually are, like how odd Porygon looks. when they look modified? they look like it, like Genesect. But this poor lizards... I liked their designs but, when they move like that and have those... wheels and reactors... man

[@Wizard_Lizard_]

@@2-bit567 I wanna talk about it, because it's relevant to the current situation.

[@connortg5]

ok but like, this makes way more sense and further shows the difference between the past and future that's like, the entire point. miraidon is a cyborg-if not robot-and thus is very robotic when being used as a vehicle, it's body goes damn near stationary except for the wheels that just spin, it's efficient, probably faster in lore and easier to create, fitting of an artificial legendary. kiraidon however is a living creature from a time possibly before the wheel was even invented, it bounds through the landscape with it's legs and the big wheel-like things act as flotation devices because it's supposed to be an ATP (all terrain pokemon) so of course it has adapted to be lighter when flying or swimming. One enjoys travel and is the result of evolution giving it biological traits, the other does it's job and is the result of engineering and picking-the-best-outcome. and lets be honest, it would be WAY stupider, and not in a good way, if kiraidon's "wheels" just started spinning in it's chest as if they're not attached to it.

[@anonymousalien7417]

If they're flotation devices, what's the point of them being puffed out like that while on land? I don't mind how they look when he's swimming, but when he's running OUT OF THE WATER and he still has his floaties out like a fuckin moron, yeah, it looks pretty dumb

[@sciencemageTV]

Please be reminded that we are not arguing that the aesthetically hideous wheels do not have a purpose. Instead, we are arguing that that purpose (a communicative frill, etc.) could have been paired with a design that didn't look like two obnoxious and ultimately cosmetic wheels.

I actually prefer Koridon over actual motorbike. I do wish it’s fake wheels were only big when swimming though.

[@limeyell0w945]

Ok to be fair, when it stands up, the neck flap looks like a puffed up chest, as if it's trying to be macho and tough, and I really like that.
