Pokémon Legends: Z-A General Discussion

Wow that's an ugly ai mess.
Why are there ai knockoffs of Doduo (or Dodrio?) and Swablu (maybe?)? They aren't even in ZA. Also failed attempts at Taunie and no Urbain, as well as two equally wrong versions Chikorita despite the ai managing the significantly more complicated Totodile and Tepig decently. And then just red Rowlet with ears? Generic owl?
Why even ai generate the cover to begin with? If you're trying to trick people into buying your fake guide at least use the actual cover like nearly every guide ever. Especially when you're pretending to be official.
Also didn't even bother trying to make the Prism Tower, just plop the Eiffel Tower right in the middle there. Also why is there Shiny sparkles around everyone?
Also Swablu family is in ZA. Doduo isn't, wonder what a Mega Dodrio would even be like...
it's like a swablu ducklett or something. a swablett? a duckblu? and that dodrio is clearly a grown-up clarence
Honestly having looked at it for longer I think it might be Swablu/Articuno. Given the massive tail and the pose (body fully vertical with the wings spread wide and up is a really common pose for it).
I have no idea how I forgot that, it's blatantly obvious given Altaria has a Mega.
local smeargles are fuming at this Porygon2-generated """art"""
No one prominent used it so easily blends in (well Lebanne uses one but I think she'd rather eat her maid outfit than use a Mega Fairy-type, even if it is part Dragon-type)...
... What do you mean it was a Rogue Mega Pokemon? *Watches video* Wow, that was a nothing battle. At the very least have it scatter cotton puffs all over the field to slow you down!
Nah this is all Porygon-Z trying to interpret the prompt the best its mangled mind could.
Porygon2 would scour the internet for stock art and maybe even fan art and try to cobble them together in a sort of collage. It wants to be creative but its limited on what it can do such as drawing characters in a different pose.
Porygon would just use the stock art. It'll also leave in any watermarks someone put over them if it didn't grab them from an official source.
Rotom art would just be your prompt but worse or enhanced depending on how it feels about you (you literally carry it all the time its bound to hear your conversations and such.)Nah this is all Porygon-Z trying to interpret the prompt the best its mangled mind could.

Magearna art is the ornate patterns of the time the Magearna was created, also reflecting the style it lived in at the time.
Smeargle still hates the Porygon-Z made art tho.

I mean not so much anymore, it got nerfed into near uselessness in SV.
It's not that useless lol
yea better to have for example 1.5x damage on all moves guaranteed than a 2.25x multiplier at low HP (which u will almost never get to since u either die or eat a fake out) for...grass moves. (using meowscarada as an example)
I did not actually check the garchomp zone's level until already comitting to the donut so it was very funny to get an hour in a zone to beat up a level 110 garchomp with my level 200 gardevoir
bit of a far cry from the struggles I went through on the other mega zones lol
Anyway I maintain this looks rad and is absolutely getting levitate in Champions. Also something I never noticed until now, mostly since you're virtually never hearing them back to back outside of like...this game due to the mega dex, is all the dual megas have different cries between each other. The Z megas in particular have a warble specific to them.

Late response to this but I feel like this is intentional. I actually think Aromatisse and Slurpuff are intentionally designed to be the "common man's Fairy-types". They're not particularly strong statistically and don't have any remarkable traits, nor do they really stand out design wise. They're used by the lower level no name mooks among the SBC and common Trainers in just about every game they appear in. The other Fairy-types who were introduced/retconned in XY are more standout since Fairy is meant to be more of a standout type. Sylveon was the big new Eeveelution and was Valerie's ace, Florges was used by Tierno and is statistically really strong, Carbink and Klefki have interesting type combos and Carbink is tied to Diancie, Mega Gardevoir is Diantha's ace, etc.
Most Fairy-types are meant to be a notch above the rest but Aromatisse and Slurpuff...really aren't. Their designs are fairly unremarkable, their stats are okay but nothing worth noting, and they're only used by common Trainers. I think that's their main place in the Fairy-type roster and the whole reason they were created in the generation that introduced the Fairy-type. Basically to be those "com mons" of the type when everything else is more powerful or more unique, to be the common enemies that are used by common Trainers but are not good enough to be boss fights and arguably not good enough to want to be used by players.
Honestly, the Swirlix line is great in terms of design. Spritzee is cool too, but I HATE the design of Aromatisse.
I love Swirlix and Slurpuff and Spritzee is cute but Aromatisse is disappointing.
i think aromatisse was the letdown of the fairy types.
with the upcoming Season limiting us to only Mega Evolutions found in ZA, what Pokemon (other than Garchomp and Magearna) do you think will have a solid role in the metagame?
