I honestly thought that Zapdos was based on the thunderbird, but it still could be, maybe off a different sort of mythos. Nonetheless, that's a really cool connection I would not have made myself. Nice job!

I believe Zapdos is more based of the lighting part of the mythos, summoning lightning and shooting it from its beak. Lugia seems to be more based of the storm part of it.

I feel like I just solved the Di Vinci code oh my Arceus. Lugia is based of the Native American Thunderbird, that's why it's psychic/flying and not water/flying.

Thunderbirds are birds of storms, but are huge and also incredibly smart, being able to speak to humans and are renown for their knowledge. They are known only to be seen with storms.

Sound familiar? Now let's look at Lugia's entries

(note, these are all direct quotes from the pokedex, I own none of what's about to be seen)

Gold   It is said that it quietly spends its time deep at the bottom of the sea because its powers are too strong.
Silver   It is said to be the guardian of the seas. It is rumored to have been seen on the night of a storm.
Crystal   It has an incredible ability to calm raging storms. It is said that LUGIA appears when storms start.
Ruby
Sapphire   LUGIA's wings pack devastating power - a light fluttering of its wings can blow apart regular houses. As a result, this POKéMON chooses to live out of sight deep under the sea.
FireRed   It is said to be the guardian of the seas. It is rumored to have been seen on the night of a storm.
LeafGreen   It is said that it quietly spends its time deep at the bottom of the sea because its powers are too strong.
Emerald   LUGIA is so powerful even a light fluttering of its wings can blow apart houses. As a result, it chooses to live out of sight deep under the sea.
Platinum   It sleeps in a deep-sea trench. If it flaps its wings, it is said to cause a 40-day storm.
HeartGold   It is said that it quietly spends its time deep at the bottom of the sea because its powers are too strong.
SoulSilver   It is said to be the guardian of the seas. It is rumored to have been seen on the night of a storm.

Black/White/Black 2/White-It sleeps in a deep-sea trench. If it flaps its wings, it is said to cause a 40-day storm.

X   It sleeps in a deep-sea trench. If it flaps its wings, it is said to cause a 40-day storm.
Y   It is said to be the guardian of the seas. It is rumored to have been seen on the night of a storm.

Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire-Lugia's wings pack devastating power—a light fluttering of its wings can blow apart regular houses. As a result, this Pokémon chooses to live out of sight deep under the sea.

(end of direct quotes)

So my conclusion is that Lugia is a Psychic/Water type because Thunderbirds are incredibly smart and able to directly communicate with humans, much like the Psychic type Pokemon with moves like telepathy and mind reader.

I'm guessing that's a post-game feature? Was planning to go in blind, but since you brought it up, can't help but be curious. And yeah, I guess if it's not Baby-Mode easy then the (lack of) difficulty shouldn't be an issue for me.

Nope@ It's not, as too not give things away...you travel around multiple islands through the main story

You'll have to play to find out why though~

Personally? Skip Gates to Infinity, but Super Mystery Dungeon was actually a lot of fun. It's not the most challenging of the PMD games, but it doesn't think you're an idiot like I felt Gates to Infinity did. It also brings a lot of cool stuff to the series, such as multiple islands, that I really like.

Sure no problem! I'll message you when it's done.

I got the code with the digital versions...all you have to do is look at the receipt


You also get two exclusive themes for your 3DS, they're pretty cool

Lucario because I have a strange sixth sense about people and even though I'm usually a very chill person I can pretty much kick anyone's butt.

Glaceon, mostly because it's my favorite eeveelution, but also I have problems breathing in hot conditions so it'd be nice to have around.

I take request for recolors, as long as you don't mind them being displayed on this thread.

Don't worry I always stumble over what to do/ask for.

Thank you very much

Basically any sprite edits or recolors I do will go here for our viewing pleasure and critique. names of the sprite will be put with base Pokemon first, then secondary Pokemon/what was edited second.

Disclaimer: All sprites have all been found on the sprite resource on this site.





Glaceon-Absol recolor



Skitty-Shaymin recolor



Quilava-Frosslass recolor (I'm sorry if I spelt those wrong.)



Dragonite-Goodra Recolor (Requested by: The name master)

Hi everyone! I'm GlaceonHybrid, or..well...anything for short really.

I actually found this place looking for sprite resources, sense I like to recolor/edit sprites (hence what will probably become my ever-changing avatar)

Glaceon is my favorite eeveelution and is my favorite base Pokemon to edit and recolor so...that's why my name is what it is

Hope we can all get to know each other!
