Magearna looks like a Transformer. I can totally image how it would tuck itself up and fold into a replica Pokeball. Which is kinda neat, I guess, but let's talk about the real story here: 500 years ago, somebody just straight-up MADE a clockwork Pokemon. That's crazy. Someone was able to manufacture genuine artificial life, immortal at that. Does it have a soul? Do regular Pokemon have souls? Do All Growlithes Go To Heaven? These are some deep questions we have to ask ourselves.
Furthermore, it kinda makes the whole Porygon thing look a little tame. Sure, using modern technology we made a Pokemon, big woop. Some asshole 500 years ago figured it out using a music box and a wind-up toy.
Magearna is a unique entity, and that's the point of Legendaries, so I won't dog on it too much for looking like a character from that Blue Sky Studios' Robots movie. And at least it's got a different origin than "primordial being since the world began" or "cute lil' guardian spirit".
Overall: 7/10
