Swordsoul of Mo Ye
Ceruledge was largely the deciding factor in my choice of Violet over Scarlet. Because as cool as Armarouge is, Ceruledge is even cooler. Twin flaming ghost blades? Sign me the hell up!
Again, I have to stress, this isn't a Pokemon design. And it's not a Digimon, either - it's a Medabot, or a Net Navi, or the star of an indie metroidvania game. But once again I will stress even harder, it's so damn cool I drop any pretense of having standards for stylistic unity. Ceruledge would have changed my brain chemistry if it existed when I was 9 years old.
Aside from everything I said about Armarouge (because most of it still applies), what makes Ceruledge so good is how the swords are done. They flare out when in battle like a lightsaber, and have a cool curve to them instead of just being straight blades, not to mention the way the cross-guard looks like flames itself. The trail of fire rising from its eye is just the cherry on top.
...bit weird how Charcadet is clearly meant to evolve into Armarouge, and hardly has any purple at all to justify a Ceruledge connection, but hey. We're ignoring a lot of faults, today. (I know they evolve with items, but in that case how come Armarouge looks like the "default"? Shouldn't Charcadet look unlike either of them, until an outside force interacts with it?)
Overall: 10/10

ReplyDeleteI was hoping you'd mention this. It bothers me too
If I had to guess, It's because the Ceruledge armor Is "malicious" and so It's not the "morally right" one and Is more divergent, like Gloom. still kind of lame tho
but this Is definitely my favorite of the two. they're both good, but having body parts that are blades Is always metal, and purple Is my favorite color

so serene! even If I don't have the game the pokedex Images are one of my favorite things about this Installment. It adds more life to It all, for me
pokemon sword & shield confir... wait
Deleteforgot to mention that I absolutely thought these guys were a mythical of some sort. maybe Kubfu route where you can actually evolve the legendary
but nope. regular dollar store wild pokemon. and It's probably better that way, being able to use the cool looking thing throughout your playthrough for once. but yeah
