Why the FUCK were they fighting for?

>>27734504
Fighting who?

>>27734504
Nothing, they were just supposed to be unique.

>>27734529
each other

I'm talking about the movie

>>27734551
Because Lawrence III attacked their islands with faux moves of the other birds, making them believe the others were invading their territory.

>>27734504
Territory.

>>27734504
>The shittiest looking of them can easily beat the other two

not saying that Moltres doesn't look like shit too but man Zapdos is terrible

>>27734631
this doesn't make any sense. Moltres himself set Zapdos free

>>27734634
then why they were not fighting before?

If you don't understand why Pokemon exists in the first place then you won't know until you die - at least that's how it's looking.

fucking hell gen 1's designs were terrible

They fight because reasons and drama.
The given clue for these birds fighting over territory is because Zapdos told Pikachu it was gonna claim Moltres' island as its own, and later Articuno freezing over another island.

They're really territorial.

still makes no sense

>random faggot put some orbs to restore balance
>S'all good man :^)

if there were balance before, what were the orbs explanation then?

moltres and zapdos after being free should have restore balance again.. yet they start to fight. The why haven't they fought before?

shit and lazy script tbqh. The only good thing is their designs.

>>27734636
Zapdos is weak to ice, so it's 50/50 in a fight with Articuno.

>zapdos vs articuno is 50/50

>>27735285
The difference between Zapdos' Sp. Def and Articuno's Sp. Atk is higher than vice versa, so if Zapdos wasn't faster Articuno would win. So If Trick Room is in effect Articuno wins.

Wild Pokemon here. Fuck off damn trainers.

>>27735422
yea because it's totally worth set up a trick room to an articuno

It's a prophecy. It ain't gotta explain shit.
>moltres and zapdos after being free should have restore balance again.. yet they start to fight. The why haven't they fought before?
The ploooooooot.
or they're autistic neet birds who don't venture from their islands unless prompted by one another.

>shit and lazy script tbqh.
no shit it's a pokemon movie.

>>27734504
You mean in the poorly written, drama for its own sake movie? Please specify in your posts, OP.
Erm, it might make more sense in Japanese, I dunno, but the whole plot of the film was that the villain wanted to collect them because he was actually catching them all (making him the real hero). He tricked them into fighting each other so Lugia would show up because he wanted t catch it.
It was a half-baked plot to make a film about Lugia with Gen 1 Pokemon - none of it makes any sense in relation to the games, it's just a mindless spectacle like all big budget, major films. And it was pretty fun. The third film is much better and showcases lots of cool style changes and stuff so just watch that again and then watch actually good films and stop getting concerned about cash-grab, popcorn stuff.

>>27735492
Articuno wins until level 78 due to stronger stats and movepool.

>>27735212
There's a reason why people think 2 is a shit movie

>>27735422
Given any strategy, except weakness policy, in a 1v1 match, zapdos will beat articuno. Articuno wins 1/3 as a result. Level up moveset with no evs, zapdos wins 96 percent of the time with a 4 percent chance of a 2-turn freeze without paralysis from tbolt.

>It was a half-baked plot to make a film about Lugia with Gen 1 Pokemon
Lugia was created at the request of the anime director specifically for the movie. He tried to get them to make another one for the third movie, but they refused and he was stuck using whatever GS designs they had laying around.

>>27735705
That doesn't really affect my post at all.
I'd also assume that Lugia existed anyway and they just let him use it.

Moltres probably set Zapdos free to kick his ass.

They probably didn't fight before because if one of them makes a move they're leaving their self open. Mutually Assured Destruction I guess.
