No. 792: Lunala

Moonstruck is probably the best Nicholas Cage movie, everyone should watch it at some point. Well, there's Raising Arizona, too. But this ain't NANCACE, is it?
 
heyyy now we got somebody who makes a bit more sense, even if he looks like something from NiGHTS. Consistency of color scheme matters, who woulda thunk?

There's a lot of fun crescent shapes in Lunala's design, from the tail to the wing-tips to the webbing of the wings to the headpiece itself. Perhaps a bit too busy, but it's a legendary, so we can cut it a bit of slack. I'd say like 4 inches of slack, roundabouts.

It helpfully justifies its Ghost typing by appearing to have an exposed ribcage and bones, so that's neat. (side note: we need more skeleton Pokemon) Of course, we have to ask why it's a ghost to begin with, and why Psychic is the default type for "uh its super special awesome we gotta make it stand out somehow", but that's neither here nor there.

Lunala is one of the best legendaries in a long time. I really wish its prevolutions were useable in-game, because I'd love to train my own Nebby from scratch.


Overall: 9/10

  1. Necrozma should be a rock type.

    Game Freak could use more ghost, fairy and even in somes cases dark, but they insist in using psychic for everything slightly extranormal. A cosmic or etheral type would be a good inclusion.

  2. So, you are going to do the Alolan forms, right?
