Especially considering you look like something from one of the recent Godzilla movies. I can almost smell the latex, and the sweat of the two poor men tasked with making your legs move in some sort of believable fashion.
I guess if they were going for "unearthly, nearly-synthetic, sci-fi, techno beast", they got it. But it doesn't look much like a Pokemon anymore. Too many flanges, and it also raises some rather unsettling issues.
For instance, Dialga supposedly governs Time. Or at least has full control over it. (never mind that temporal shenagins was supposed to be Celebi's arena) Now, I'm guessing there's only ONE Dialga? Because I always thought Legendarys were solo affairs, but apparently according to the anime there are multiple Articunos, for example. But I think there's only one Dialga, one primordial entity.
And then you can just kinda catch this entity? How do you catch a thing that can rewind time? And once you do, doesn't that upset things? Or how intelligent is Dialga? Maybe it's a wild beast, that has more power than it should, and is a force of danger and chaos that needs to be reigned in. In any case, these are issues much more complex than ought to be in Pokemon, methinks. I think the themes ought to be limited to "poaching is bad", "be nice to your pets", and "try your best".
So yeah, Dialga - you belong as a late-game boss in a more serious JRPG, not Pokemon.
Overall: 4/10
The stripes on its rear look like a garter-belt.
ReplyDeleteYeah, loved the Dio shout out.
ReplyDeleteIn one of the PMD games *Spoilers!* I'm sure Dialga went out of control or something and you had to stop it from destroying time.
ReplyDeleteMaybe. And Celebi helped you somehow. I'm sure that happened.
I always had the theory, that the legendaries have two versions:
ReplyDeleteEXTREEEEEEMLY rare Pokemon and the REAL legendary.
I mean:
You even see Arctucino be born in the Pokemonsnap, or any of the Legendary Birds.
But if the original Legendaries did the Mythical stuff they did back then? What if dialga really governed time? Yeah then I think you are just catching one of its Predessor, which ultimatly is only a rare pokemon. It isnt THE dialga that mastered time, but just a lame one enslaved by you Balls.
Except Mew and Mewtwo. Mew is the "original" Pokemon and Mewtwo is her clone. Bioth are unique and shows how badass red is.
Roar of Time is just Dialga yelling "ZA WARUDO".
