#bc i dont think anyone actually considered it a ho oh related pokemon especially since ho oh already has the dogs

[perenlop]

hoopa is so unfortunate because despite being connected to oras and masters, there isnt a ton of content where it’s actually there and relevant besides the hoopa movie, which is considered the worst pokemon movie and kinda does hoopa dirty anyways by giving it a bad storyline and making it a frustrating character

#like. ive seen people make it the celebi to palkia sometimes #which i feel like really shows the difference between the old mythicals and new ones #despite basically having the same amount of potential celebi has been a consistent part of the anime for a while #got a chronicles ep and a hoenn special and roles in two other movies besides its own (kinda) #while hoopa hasnt shown up in anything besides the movie and in psmd where hes optional #and i mean yeah part of that is just that hoopa is newer while celebis been around since basically the beginning #but like... youd think hoopa would have gotten SOMETHING else by now #something a bit more memorable #echoed voice #idk i feel like the gens 1-4 and kinda 5 mythicals mean something. they feel like mythicals they feel distinct #you cannot deny the vibes that the lunar duo or lake trio have or deoxys or jirachi #but somethings just. off about the ones after gen 5 #and this is coming from someone who loves diancie and does kinda like magearna btw #i dont hate any of these pokemon and i get why a couple of them are mythicals but it also feels unearned and strange #like... what exactly makes zeraora a mythical? endangerment? does that make lapras and farfetch'd mythicals too? #even in the anime theyre just like ''idk its kinda rare'' #same with zarude. how is zarude a mythical. even in its movie its just a general species really #with marshadow they try and force a connection to ho oh but it just doesnt really make sense or work and its kinda odd in hindsight #bc i dont think anyone actually considered it a ho oh related pokemon especially since ho oh already has the dogs #really feels like most of the mythicals now are just made to fill that movie quota #which is just odd to me even now bc shiny celebi was only in the zarude movie for two seconds and it still got merch and distributions #so really just. reuse the legendaries lol #better yet start teasing the next gen again with normal pokemon like lucario and zoroark #those are classics and fan favorites to this day and i cannot figure out why they stopped besides the crunch now
