What if Solgaleo and Lunala Swapped Roles?

What if the box art legendary Pokemon of Sun and Moon traded places in an alternate reality? Here's some Fakemon Art that imagines what they might look like.

[@137santiYT]

I have an idea for the names: Lunaleo and Morsolgo (Morcego + Sol)

[@WilliamX5000]

Lunaleo actually works for the alternate Solgaleo.

[@killerdragon5584]

@@WilliamX5000I was actually thinking "Lunathera" as to reflect the more "effeminate" personification of the moon (Luna), derived from the words Luna (duh) and Panthera, because Lions and Lionesses belong to the Panthera family. Morsolgo already sounds fire (ba dum tss) so I can't think of any alternatives to that.

[@wornoutrei]

​@@killerdragon5584I agree with the funny man

[@WilliamX5000]

@@killerdragon5584 Lunathera does sound better.

[@killerdragon5584]

@@WilliamX5000 Alternatively, for Sun Lunala... "Solcielago," derived from the words "Sol" (obviously), and the Italian word for bat, "Murcielago."

[@bluesubstitute]

lunalas new siloouete also resembles Ultra necrozma which is very fun for lore shenanigans

I have a headcanon where unhealthy, malnourished Cosmog "die" and evolve into Necrozma instead of Cosmoem lol

[@atlander4204]

[@emberthearsonist]

Dialga and Palkia swapping roles would be really interesting. As for names, how about Lunaleo and Solalla?

[@alexhakimipour2559]

I had the same name idea.

[@Jack_______]

solalla its so silly lmao

[@torsoch]

I was thinking of Solara, sounds better to listen to imo

[@Mynameishassan0]

I think Solgaleo comes from galileo as well

[@SoftwareLearningify]

I frickin LOVE lunala considering purple is one of my favorite colors and considering how much I love cats, that solgaleo form is PERFECT imo

[@torterratortellini6641]

Reverse lunala looks like it could be it’s own Pokémon.

[@torterratortellini6641]

1:58 I don’t know how you’re going to reverse Zacian and Zamazenta considering they are both wolfs just one has a sword and the other has a shield mane. I’m also kind of confused on how you’re going to do Ho-oh and Luigi considering they don’t really have any duality between them.

[@deeznutz7255]

“Ho-oh and Luigi” 💀

[@torterratortellini6641]

@@deeznutz7255 oops typo. However, I am not going to correct it because it’s funny.

[@deeznutz7255]

[@shadowmoon1996]

Luigi

[@TwighlightLugia]

I always thought Ho-oh and Lugia represented the duality of nature; rebirth and ruin, creation and destruction, calm skies and raging storms, etc.

[@mementomori1553]

this looks awesome, you should try swapping around the paradox pokemon (like making jigglypuff have a future form instead of an ancient form)

[@goddessdeedeebubblesofimag7789]

I like someone else's idea of Lunaleo and Morsolgo the best. These are pretty good!

[@SophisticatedGoat222]

I hope you decide to do Xerneas and Yveltal. Like Solgaleo and Lunala, they have completely different body plans, but still share a thematic duality and some light design elements. They would be much more interesting to swap than most other box legendaries.

[@pokehunterhd]

That was the first pair he did.

[@SophisticatedGoat222]

@@pokehunterhd Oh, my bad. I should have checked to make sure this wasn't the first video in this series.

Mahinaleo - mahina means moon in hawai + leo Hoarila - hoari is a hawaian bat + lā that is sun in hawai

[@XVYQ_EY]

The easiest ones to come up with to swap are Zekrom & Reshiram, of course.

[@penpaladin]

True 😂 I wonder if I could do them swapping types 🤔

[@XVYQ_EY]

@@penpaladin that's actually the simpliest one. black can be treated as either smoke or char, while white can be treated as light that lightning produces.

I love these designs way better than the official ones great job dude!

[@LittleKittyBeans]

Honestly.. Lunaroar is a great name for the swap Sogaleo.

[@alexhakimipour2559]

These could work similarly to the Galarian birds, instead representing convergent forms. I’d personally name them Lunaleo, and Solala

[@aadityajoil7402]

The Galarian Birds are not convergent. The term convergent forms was first used in Gen 9

[@alexhakimipour2559]

I know, I’m not saying that they are convergent, but since there are Galar birds and Kanto birds it would act similarly@@aadityajoil7402

[@torterratortellini6641]

This would actually make sense, considering that sun and moon is all about parallel universes.

[@dragonartz3207]

“So I’ll need a new name for solgaleo,” Me: Ghost type. Me: Soulgaleo.

“Today I’m designing these Pokémon as if they’re from alternative universes” Well…technically…uh

[@misters6749]

1:41: Sun Lunala looking a hair away from a Mega Volcarona/ Mega Iron Moth. I love it!!

Another name idea could be Nocturoar and Diarska

- Newmean pronounced as new-me-on where New Moon + Nemean Lion which is where the Leo constellation comes from - Lautogi where La canes from lā (Hawaiian word for sun) & Leutogi a Polynesian goddess that has connections to bats

[@Mynameishassan0]

You could call solgaleo, Galiluna Call Lunala, Solisala

[@prototypebunny1061]

"I'll redesign these two legendary pokemon as if they were from an alternate universe" hmm... I mean... well...

[@ItsImagineThis]

Fun fact, lions actually hunt best on crescent moon nights anyways, so that fits too! Also, I think it would be cool to do all the box legendaries (Red and Blue can be the birds instead, or mew and mewtwo), so like, dialga of time switching to dialga of space, or Miraidon of the future becoming Miraidon of the past-

[@christopherpeters1731]

Reverse lunala's silhouette kind of reminds me of ultra necrozma.

[@Wynautcuteer]

Thanks for refrencing the Filipino culture😊. I'm a proud Filipino

[@bestleefboi]

They look so cool

[@toonlink5399]

These look really cool!! I wonder what their forms would look like if Necrozma fused with them…

[@thenerdbeast7375]

I think the inversed Solgaleo should change from a ghost to a dark type, since you are calling on the lion's nocturnal predatory instincts.

[@Pailers]

It would be fun to just swap their names around a little lol Lunaleo Solnala

Leoknight and Diaope'a, (or Diape'a) combining diurnal with the Hawaiian name for the Hawaiian hoary bat, ʻŌpeʻapeʻa.

[@bigbirdbignews]

Also if youre wondering why i said Leoknight instead of Leonight, its because lions are known as royal animals and it also gives room for a cool new form for the future much like Dialga and Palkias most recent PLA forms.

I would just keep the names sumple and just swap the sol and luna in thier names, so they'd be Lunagaleo and Solala.

[@xavierrobleswork6615]

Let's gender swap them to, Since Solgaleo seems to be male, and Lunala seems to be female. I named them Lumenae (Luu-MEH-nAyy) and Solliux (Soul-EE-OOZE) both being the mixed around terms for Sunlight and Moonlight in Latin respectively
