Great Grey Wolf Sif
Clearly the better of the two legendaries, and thus the reason why Sword is the superior choice. Not that it matters much, because Gamefreak got tired of programming actual different characters and areas into the games to justify releasing two versions, it's just a few Pokemon that you can get from trading online anyway.
But, Zacian looks regal enough, with a neat crown and golden wings. I like that he's not some all-powerful God of Abstract Concepts, just a cool mystical dog bearing a sacred weapon. That seems more in-line with what I want from a legendary.
He's got an armorless form, too - which really shows off the scars from countless battles, even a missing ear. I like how it just changes depending on if you literally equip its item or not. Of course you'd want it armored, which is the cooler form anyway (because it has a goddamn sword) but still.
Overall: 8/10
"I like that he's not some all-powerful God of Abstract Concepts, just a cool mystical dog bearing a sacred weapon." So true.
ReplyDeleteWasn't it only B/W where the versions differed in more than just which mons you can get? Oh and team magma/aqua, I guess. though those differences were actually quite small I think.
