Lugia is so freaken cool, even with the silly arms || Pokémon Review 

Lugia's my favorite since I played Pokemon XD. Plus it's such a unique design

Lugia's always been my fav. It and the birds of Kanto. :)

Shadow Shield>>>>>>>>Multiscale/Pressure

I love lunala too. Feels so graceful and cute

Same here. Every legendary of the 'blue' versions (Zekrom aside in favor of Reshiram) is my favorite of their respective regions, with Lugia on top because of 2000.

That comparison at the end made me crack the hell up 😂👌

Now that you mention it, you could even argue that lugia’s tower being burned down while ho-oh’s tower still standing could be a metaphor for that in some way. Maybe that’s a stretch, though.

​@@melofelo4484 like how the people angrily rejected modern progress to keep up the traditional values?

​@@melofelo4484 Wait I thought it was Ho-Oh's tower that got burned down

@@realcupojoe No actually, lugia’s tower got burned down. That’s why it had to move to the seafoam islands

Oh wow!!! Lugia but dark!! So unique and cool!!!!! 😱😱

​@@TheLudicrousLuv This but unironically. It does have some neat/edgy changes like talon feet, more serrated creasts, sharper back fins, and a more bird of prey style beak and head curve.

I remember that movie, and that guy who used geometry to trap the legendary birds before getting hit by said Aeroblast

Oh my god yes!!! And how it first fires off as several thinner beams then fuse together into one huge beam that even pierces the air around it????? And the sound as it charges up???? Definitely one of the coolest animated moves ever

^^ Kat gets it.

In stadium 2 it's cool. Whatever the hell smash lugia does it's not.

It’s body also engulfed in a blue aura made of psychic energy when it does aeroblast

Im pretty sure Lugia is like part plesiosaur lol. So not really a whale but ancient marine reptile. Close enough.

Fav pkm movie too. Watched it SO many times.

​@@CMiY0argument invalid. It's whale 🐳

It also reminded me of gannets, a bird that can dive in order to hunt fishes.

Takeshi Shudo was a great artist who tried to do one of the hardest things an artist can do: create a story for children that can communicate adult ideas in a way that isn't patronizing. And I think he succeeded more than not.

I love pokemon so much this story hit home when I got older frfr❤

The song…

The 3D animation doesn't even look like it's flying, I think the animated 2D sprites from the 5th gen are way better.

-that can cause hurricanes when it flies

​@@aitusai until a metal claw grabs it, I haven't seen a metal claw grabs Ho-Oh yet.

A fish without the water type.

What kind of fish they have near you???

A fish that shoots pressurised air or (if you've watched the 2000 movie) lasers that go kaboom

Same!

And it's narrated by a massive legend

@@nardopol0 MASSIVE LEGEND HERE!!!!

@@DanielPereira-ey9nt yeah mb 🤦🏻‍♂️ I loved the story around HER creation, shame on me 😅

It only took our ho oh how many years to get its own movie... In a universe where brock misty never existed so yeh...non existing time line, god just why??

Both slaps, i feel the main reason Lugia is more popular is that its design is more unique, Ho-oh is very much a phoenix. Very well designed Phoenix, but still not very innovative

​@@weathersama604 very true, Ho-oh had an amazingly menacing sprite with awesome colors but 3d did him dirty by making him a docile looking bird

@@weathersama604 ho-oh is a phoenix, while Lugia is based off of a wyvern (armless dragons) and off of Japanese mythology ryujin. People tend to like badass dragons more than birds, but I do like both now, as a kid Lugia was one of my favourite Pokémon. The other two were Charizard (dragon) and Mewtwo. Thinking about it now, I didn’t really like Dragonite, thought he was cool but wasn’t a favourite of mine, he looked too childish. I thought Dragonair was cooler. Gyarados too. Imo that’s also the reason why I dislike newer generations of Pokémon designs. They’re so childish, far gone are the days of the water coloured angry looking kaiju inspired Pokémon like Rhydon, Nidoking, Tyranitar, Gyarados, Mewtwo, etc

​@@ahmadayoub94👏pocket MONSTERS

if anything it should just be flying. it only goes under water so the hurricanes and wind it makes doesnt happen and kill people

I like to think of him as controlling water, not actually being of water.

Lugia should be Water/Dragon, with Levitate/Pressure as it's ability 1 and 2, and Multiscale as it's hidden ability.

I think lugia is as over rayed as charizard sadly... I'll always pick ho oh even just to be different, tho I do like it

Love it😂

Yes indeed Lugia is a water-type and is one of the coolest water Pokémon out there because it is definitely water-type and is very cool 😋

Ah simple times

So that they'd be cuter because they're just chubby enough to be appealing in a similar way to cats imo.

Care to explain?

@@marcoasturias8520 There is explain video on RU-vid of Lugia's Origin. Before the passing of the original writer, He drew Lugia final concept For the Pokemon movie 2000. He also designed it to be a maternal pokemon

@@SpikeThePorcupine23 *maternal

@@adenosine2electricboogaloo647 Awesome. I go ahead and correct it here error

I didn't like the second movie sadly , it was possibly the worst for me... (it didn't seem to have a very well thought out plot to me for whatever reason? Ash is vacationing, there's also an evil man at this very point and time conveniently stealing all the birds, Ash is the hero conveniently in some festival, the world is ending, Ash saves the day, hooray. Oh and lugua is there. I like Ash... This just felt like a long episode to me. Even the legendary birds didn't get to shine. They were sort of just fighting...lugua does next ti nothing, he can't do anything without Ash...also he didn't even need a silver wing... Ash is sort of just conveniently shoe horned into being the hero again... I mean I feel like the next movie 8s so much more connect able, on an emotional level... lugia is a so called God, yet can do next to nothing? At least the pokemon collecter had a bit of back story... that an obsession with a mew card made him become a maniac... Oh and there also the girl foisting herself on Ash so there's thar. (She has a crush on him?) And the part where Ash nearly dies, as usual by doing something reckless by throwing himself into the sea and misty is upset...that's about it?
