>>27330143
Exactly! The sun is water type in the pokemon charts.

>>27330076
This is honestly better than the hurr durr solgaleo es weak to fire threads, but still annoying. +1 for the chuckle though

>>27330558
some are trolls, some are literal retards who won't look up lore
like people who always think Absol or Bisharp are edgy just because Dark type+Blades they MUST be edgy then
when their Pokedex entries say the exact opposite
Bisharp is your standard knight in armor, not exactly known for being edgy, just a soldier
and Absol being misunderstood all the time
people never learn

The sun-eating lion alchemy connections are just a way for fanboys to justify Gamefreak's retarded typing. There's no indication or proof there's an alchemy theme in the games, much less than Solgaleo is based on some shittily-drawn ancient bullshit image.

>>27330903
so.... have you just not been on the internet in months? because there has been tons of people linking more than just Solgaleo having alchemy connections, a lot more actually
but assholes don't fucking care and would rather complain than search evidence. and even if you find that clear, evidence, you say that it's wrong
there are tons of alchemy connections to Sun and Moon in general, not just Solgaleo
if a pokemon is based off of something, then that's what it is
but that STILL doesn't please you

I aint someone who believes in all those POKEMON DID 911 grade conspiracy theories, but it's pretty obvious what Solgaleo's inspiration is. That doesn't mean the game will have an alchemy theme (despite a number of things in recent games being traced back to alchemy themes) but it's clear what Solgaleo is inspired by

>>27331024
It's not a sun legendary, it's the emissary of the sun.

How about you die?
The heavy gravity and pressure of nuclear fusion makes sense as a steel/psychic. Heat is just an afterthought. Besides, Victini is already the antithesis of nuclear fusion.

>>27331065
A pokemon's immunities and strengths does not always equate to "real world" situations. You go up against a fucking Beartric and toss a rock at it isn't going to have it squealing in pain, and throwing some grass on a Kingler isn't going to make it pass out. You throw a fire bomb at a fucking Feraligatr will probably hurt it even though it's a water/ground type, because it's fucking fire, regardless of typing, fire hurts. Typing only matters when it's being used by another Pokemon, because Pokemon possess power, and strength behind their attacks.

>>27331151
A lion's mane looks like a sun by itself and lions have been associated to the sun several times in history. The alchemy meme shit is just one aspect of this association.

>>27331157

Stop posting anytime.

>>27331195
It's still fucking retarded. You are telling me there's a lion legendary that either lives on or eats the sun and then a fire type move from a random pokemon on Earth hits it supereefectively? BULLSHIT.

>>27331095
Not just alchemy. In the old world, during the time of alchemy, the sun was not seen as a ball of fire, it was seen as a ball of molten iron.

>being autistic enough to argue about Pokemon logic

None of these threads make sense. While the sun may not burn, it is still fucking hot. Lots of pokemon are fire type and they have no fire on them. It is strange that Solgaleo would be weak to heat, considering it has relation to the sun. Not difficult to grasp.

>>27331228
Suns are defined by fusing elements together and providing UV radiation to orbiting planets. The heat is just a byproduct. Besides, Solarbeam is a grass move and Morning Sun is normal.

>>27331228
>Sunny day is called CLEAR SKIES in japan, so that immediately drops that proof

>>27331258
Finally a reasonable post, thank you.

>>27331228
Why is it bullshit? Using that logic, it should be bullshit that a Hitmonlee could walk up to Arceus and break it's neck with one kick, despite it being GOD. In reality, Solgaleo most likely does not dwell in the sun, cause thats silly. It's description is clearly taken from ancient texts of past civilizations, which would revere some mighty Pokemon that can glow like the fucking sun as something related to the sun. Until we know the story of Pokemon Sun, we can't say for sure Solgaleo has any direct connection or interaction with the sun.

It's a flower, dipshit. Solgaleo has a diefic relation to the sun, and no obvious steel hallmarks. Sunflora is a plant that is burned by fire.

Lion eating Sun = alchemical symbol
Sun Lion = alchemical symbol
Skeleton = alchemical symbol
Sun = obviously alchemical symbol
Moon = obviously alchemical symbol
Synchro = Fuse, literally alchemical concept (Sun = Gold = Soul, Moon = Silver = Spirit and Earth = Physical body)
Nature and machine fused = Magearna, a living version of Ultimate Weapon
Ultimate Weapon = Azoth, the inmortality, live, death, nature, god
Project AZOTH = Literally about Ultimate Weapon's energy
Dragon/Wolf (Zygarde doge) = alchemical symbol
Dual snakes (Z1 and Z2) = alchemical symbol
Entity with X and Y chromosome (Zygarde 100%) = androginy, alchemical symbol
AZOTH (Zygarde 100%) = The Earth, the Sun, the Moon, the planets, the dragon, the androginy (X and Y), the life, the death, the order, the nature, the universal mercury, the God's blood
Starters and Rockruff = literally alchemical symbols
AND the Steel and Ghost type (Steel = Lion eating the sun, metals purity and the growth of plants, LIFE, like Xerneas & Ghost = putrescence, DEATH, like Yveltal).

>>27331483
>SUNNY day also increases the healing power of MOONlight

>>27331423
Lanturn doesn't have a sun shaped mane and a full body, blinding GLOWING LIKE THE FUCKING SUN form. Perhaps it would be stupid in modern times, but back in ancient times, if you were some toga wearing cunt back in the old days and you see this huge fucking lion pokemon run up with a big ass sun shaped mane and he just explodes with bright light, you'd probably think "Oh yeah, that guys got an in with the sun"

>>27331024
Honestly, that part I can agree with. They could have made Full Metal Body work with the "Uses the sun to purify metals" theme and have it so that it's immune to fire moves, with each time it gets hit raising Attack or something

But we got reskinned Clear Body instead

>>27331444

Solrock isn't fire either. Get over it.

>>27331473
Exactly what I'm saying, all we know is that it eats the sun. Speculation is useless, we are only speaking of typing. And no, it shouldn't be weak to sun, all you do is confirm my points.

No, we know that IT'S CALLED the beast that eats the sun. Arceus has 1000 arms but i can't see them and it can't learn any punching move.

>all you do is confirm my points
No?

>>27331040
It isn't related to this. It's a dumb theory.

>>27331489
>Magearna - Obviously an ancient pokeball, even has a fucking pholosphers stone embeded in it that steals life from fainted pokemon to power itself
>Alchemy has concepts about capturing souls and energy from someone and move them about, and reanimating those souls, oh gee that sure sounds familiar
I dont buy into all those fucking theories, but this shit is clearly intended

>>27331601
Yes? It's probably called the Beast that Eats the Sun for a reason, don't you think? You aren't providing any evidence that it isn't tied to the sun in some way.

I actually can't believe how butthurt people are becoming over this. Steel is weak to fire, but EVERYTHING should be weak to THE FUCKING SUN. If Solgaleo eats THE FUCKING SUN, it's probably because he bypassed the in-game battle mechanics in doing so.

It could transform into a giant solar panel that deprives of sunlight 2 kilometers around it turning day into a fake night and that still wouldn't mean a flamethrower couldn't hurt it.

You know, BW was conceptually designed as something "new", distinctive to RGB, GSC, RSE and DPPt. A new Kanto (Unova), new Machamp (Conkeldurr), new Tauros (Bouffalant), new Geodude (Boldore), new titles (RGB? Colors? Not, on the contrary, Black and White) ... basically a new version (separate) of Pokemon. If you separate Unova, Kanto connects to Hoenn and Kalos, and Johto connects to Sinnoh and Alola*, all comes together (Kanto-Hoenn-Kalos & Johto-Sinnoh-Alola) in a new awesome pokemon adventure.

*Diamond Peak, Pearl Harbour, Magearna's body its made of gold and silver, the core is called Soul-Heart, in Alola there is japanese village with a "Ho-oh's bell tower", Lugia and Ho-oh's clouds in the sky, this synchro shit about pokemon-human relationship is literally the lore in Gold and Silver games (reminder, Gold = Sun, Silver = Moon) about the towers and Ho-oh/Lugia, guardians in islands in Alola like guardians in lakes in Sinnoh, obvious DP remakes...

As far back as I can remember people have been asking questions about why XYZ mon or ABC line is weak to this, or how bad it needs a resist to that, or why this mon got one typing over another.

>>27330076
>sun pokemon
>no cosmic typing
>has steel for some fucking reason

Do we know how its Radiant Sun forme works?

It could be like a mega with a new typing. Or get Flash Fire as its ability.

I mean who the hell knows. I think it's kind of interesting that the Sun mon is weak to fire and the Moon mon is weak to dark (and Fairy if you think of that as being "the moon typing"), but then both have "phases" that make them more like the actual sun/moon, where it would be interesting if those obvious weaknesses were turned to strengths.

>>27330076
i mean we dont know what there other forms do
it might make them resist the types there oddly weak against
