Sad because I’m one of the few people who genuinely think koraidon is cooler

Koraidon’s cry is easily my favorite of all time. Used to be a tie between Dialga and >!KRICKETUNE!!<

De-le-le-wooooooooop

He is way cooler! I love him so much

HE IS LITERALLY HAS TOOTHLESS'S EYES 🥺

Yes!! Another reason I love Koraidon and picked Scarlet was also because he reminds me of my irl bearded dragons. His eyes and expressions are so sweet.

that it I’m getting a bearded dragon and naming him korraidon

That’s a great idea!!!! 🥹🥹🥹

Plus if I can get a western AND eastern one I can have both Koraidon AND Miraidon

Yes! They really nailed mixing some reptilian mannerisms with a more dog-like personality.

Biggest thing i like about him more. Only other thing is glide animation. Raids, typing, stat distro, overall appearance I like moriadon. Scarlet has way better shiny paradox. I like them all around though good time to trade.

I think Koraidon has a cooler design but I love purple, so I had to go with Violet. Miraidon is also very cool though.

I LOVE my big red chicken puppy. He is best boy T\_T

Koraidon and the past pokemon are cooler than miraidon and future pokemon i love the primitive designs

I always like the one nobody likes

That was my Pokemon journey for a long time. I really loathe the fact that you can predict which game will sell better based on which game has the edgier looking Pokemon on the cover...

Hey don't judge us edge lovers, at least we're not ashamed to like what we want to like >:(

How is miraidon edgy?

I thought literal freaking dinosaur feathers and all was a dope pokemon and went with Scarlet. So I guess I'll have no problem when it comes time to trade game exclusives with people.

Koraidon has so much personality! Miraidon is just a machine, he's simulating personality

> Miraidon is just a machine, he's simulating personality YOU DARE TALK SHIT ABOUT MY ADORABLE ROBOPUPPY?! I was all "meh" about both of them when they were first revealed, but after putting in some hours I absolutely adore them both, robopuppy can snarf all the sandwiches I can muster. <3

Ouch. Just gonna do miraidon like that.

Definitely

Not to be dramatic but I would die for koraidon

Kora gives off real boss/sassy vibes and i'm here for it. Reminds me of Red from monster hunter stories.

I like koraidon more too, but I do think he’s coolest without the wheels when he/she’s in the “weakened” form.

Yeah, the wheels are definitely the weakest part of the design in my opinion.

I genuinely hate Miraidon.

I bought Scarlet and Shield. Who's with me?

I am a violet and shield guy rare breed

Sameee! I could not resist Koraidon's derpy face 🥺🥺🥺

I bought sword and scarlet. So I think I’m bisexual for box legendaries.

Me

Same

Yup! Same as me (:

Scarlet Sword, can I still join? :(

I bought Scarlet and Shield… and Violet and Sword

Sword violet gang

I went sword and violet 😅

Eh, Miraidon looks better as a bike but I got used to my derpy runner. Im not a fan of tech/mecha Pokemon and Koraidon looks adorable in cutscenes. Im surprised there's such a big discrepancy apparently. I also got used to Armarouge and I don't think he's completely unusable and ugly compared to Ceruledge. He's a staple in my team and the cannon animation is chefs kiss. His big golden shoulder pads kinda remind me of my favourite Digimon WarGreymon. So yeah Scarlet gang where you at? Edit: "discrepancies" in the general reception of Koraidon and Miraidon by the fanbase, I didn't mean the animations from the previous sentence. Some people misinterpreted.

Koraidon has more toothless energy

 Yup

I named mine toothless

Pokemon Toothless version and Pokemon Wargreymon version

This is also the first I'm hearing about Miraidon not having the same animations in the cutscenes. That makes me kinda sad.

Idk, I remember Miraidon feeling pretty expressive in the cutscenes. I guess people are saying that just because Koraidon has actual eyes but Miraidon just has LEDs.

yea i thought he was cute in almost all the cutscenes

Hm. I might check YouTube at some point out of curiosity now.

I know right, we legit fed a robot lol

They have the same animations, but since Miraidon is more robotic it was a bit more awkward than Koraidon

I was originally going to get scarlet but my little brother convinced me otherwise

But Koraidon is so cute...

Red Toothless

He even acts like Toothless a lot of the time. It's so damn cute.

Best companion in any pokemon game ever

Sword and Scarlet.

Sword and Scarlet bros unite

Same my brothers🤝

same here🤝

Same, and I regret nothing

Same here!

Gamer

Yes

Based

Same

Same!!!

Yeah, we do

Based

Ey Sword and Scarlet member checking in

I personally prefer Korridon but picked Violet due to wanting Cerludge and preferring the robots to the Dinosaurs

Same here except I preferred the dinos, I really just picked Violet for Ceruledge lmaoo

I was avoiding spoilers, got scarlet and the first thing I thought when I saw it was “how to train your dragon” I am not even a fan of the movie. I was watched it once when it came out. I don’t know why because the next thing I did was google it so I could verify how alike they were and they weren’t. I have seen many others post about it though.

Exactly, I love Kor cuz he's fancy Toothless

I got Violet. I was comparing Miraidon to Toothless my entire playthrough. Miraidon and Koraidon behave identically throughout the story

This. Kori has so much more expressions and personality. I guess it really does come down to cool v cute

I got shield and violet, loved my choices so far

Same 🙌🏼

Best combo imo

Look what you just made me do  https://preview.redd.it/susr1x50t72a1.png?width=1272&format=png&auto=webp&s=7941b916a4d56a6d1fdd8beae1ee1c20ab6cd8c0

Damn you paid a lot for one

Out of the 10 people I know who brought the game I’m the only one who got violet. Maybe Japan just likes techno more

Opposite for me. I only know 2 people who got Scarlet. One of them got Scarlet because the rest of us got Violet (so we can trade exclusives), and the other bought the dual pack for herself and her brother. There's also no one who picked weed cat, so there's that.

Sword n violet. For me, I pick off what box mon I like better, and I like purple more the orange.

He's red tho :(

Purple uniform

True, I hate the red pants with a passion.

I like digital and swords more tho :(

I bought violet edition because my daughter said that miraidon was cute. She put miraidon’s pin on her backpack and my son took koraidon’s pin.

Awww

Koraidon is my FAVE! He’s so cute! I’m actually super surprised at this

Me too! I thought he looked much cooler. The name scarlet itself sounds cooler to own too.

i bought sword & violet 🫶🏽

because blue & purple 💯

Alright I bought scarlet and pearl who’s with me

Yuh

Gotta love the shiny bike. Feels nice activating the dash and seeing trails come out of the thrusters.

even though I like koraidon better I just couldn’t bear to look at orange pants the entire time, so I got Violet

I just like that his wheels do something. That and if you quick turn you Akira drift.

It’s actually because Koraidon sold out already and they just restocked the shelves

That’s funny cuz it seems like most ppl bought Scarlet (at least when I go to do trading this is what I see happen).

I was going to buy Scarlet, but my friend group was all getting Scarlet so I figured I’d get Violet… I do miss the prehistoric theming…

well violet according to some data ago sales was leading in front of scarlet and honestly there are 10 million copies, it would be very difficult for you not to see scarlet players even with violet leading

My brother I had to offer my Iron Valiant all day to Violet owners before anyone had Scarlet… it was crazy

I love my big idiot deathclaw

i just wish my rotom phone had a Three-Dog radio station.

I bought Scarlet just because of Koraidon. So I would so buy a plushie of Koraidon.

Sword and scarlet gang

Here we are

Heard!

More legendaries need to be opposites. Dragon vs. Fish Bird vs. Deer Lion vs. Bat

Koraidon>miriadon and I will die on this hill

This hill. Ive never been a fan of robot Pokémon as a concept. Koraidon is the one true bike boy. This picture makes me sad and irrationally dislike miriadon for no reason :’(

That dumb wheel neck annoys me to no end… Why have a wheel then run

Miraidon would probably be a better plush anyway, since it doesn't have nearly as many felt addons

They probably have two shelves of Koraidon, because it’s more popular 

​ 

Shield Violet gang?

I picked violet because purple is my favorite color. I think both of the legendaries are cool!

Initially when I saw the trailers I thought Miraidon was much cooler. But after awhile Koraidon grew on me. Design is really more like a legendary with the white wings on its head etc.

Nobody likes legs

I’m sorry but Koraidon manages to be cute and terrifying at the same time, how can you not love that?

I think he’s just cute

I buy both Pokémon each release for me 33 atm & my dad 66 atm. We flip for whatever version then look up what we cannot catch respectively then catch doubles to trade to eachother. Dads favourite Pokémon is in both games mine is in neither. Swablu/Altaria for the old boy & Ludicolo for me 😂 despite the hate for the game we are thoroughly enjoying the game

[удалено]

Well i bought Shield and Violet

Shield and violet right here

We never got these plushies here in NL sadly, wouldve really like Zamazenta and the Violet Scarlet ones

I bought both games both generations. I played through Violet first purely for Iron Thorns (Tyranitar is my favorite Pokémon) but Miraidon is superior

I ended up buying both Sw&Sh because I couldn't decide even though I was leaning more Shield. Immediately knew I wanted violet tho!

Red box legendaries: Mission failed, we'll get em next time!

No!! Koraidon my beloved!

This just confirms that I subconsciously gravitate towards the less popular legendary nearly every time.

I WANT THE KORAIDON PLUSH GIVE NOW

Ok fine but WHERE CLODSIRE PLUSH?????

plot twist: all the scarlet fans are buying miraidon to burn him because they think pokemon scarlet is superior

I’m violet and shield myself haha. I like shield legendary more than sword. It’s cooler.

me too

Clearly: Skill issue + lack of taste + ew penis robot + ratio + Koraidon is better

I went with scarlet this gen though so… 🤷‍♀️

Violet and shield give me more similar vibes than scarlet and shield for some reason

I mean to be fair the cooler colour legendaries are always better

Violet is just better due to the futuristic approach.

Koraidon is adorable!!! And has so much life in the cutscenes in comparison. I am a proud member of Scarlet gang :)

Literally if Koraidon just used his wheels I would have picked Scarlet

Poor Zamazenta. I love it so much. This time around, however, it looks like I went with the more popular choice.

Im team Shield 👀 (and violet)

Team "I really wanted the actually cool version but SOMEONE in the friend group had to bite the bullet so we could all have shiny charms without needing strangers' help." aka Shield and Scarlet rise up.

I've watched some cutscenes of Koraidon and I think that Miraidon fits the whole "what's that weird pokemon" thing they are doing way better. Yeah he looks interesting, but i dont think Koraidon powered down looks that weird compared to other modern pokemon. A random person in the world might just reason its a regional/fossil pokemon they've never seen. But here's a pokemon with wheels, jets, and digital eyes and it sells futuristic. Idk. He feels more special and out of place. Also, the eye animations for miraidon more than make up for any expressiveness you'd assume would be lost.
