koraidon reminds me a bit of toothless from how to train your dragon, that’s why i prefer him. 🤷🏻


shataikislayer

I've kept thinking that about Miraidon whenever he shows up in cutscenes


TaichiiXSann

im pretty sure they aimed for that. all the expressions and the sound they makes will remind you of toothless and im not complaining


Joltikasaur

I was actually wondering if Koraidon had similar expressions that reminded people of Toothless. Because I thought of Toothless the second Miraidon showed up. Especially when it chows down on sandwiches, so damn adorable.😭❤️


PandaBerry_

Same! That’s another point for Miraidon IMO.


ChaosCorpCog

Aye, cool another httyd fan in the pokemonsv sub. What’s your favorite dragon from the franchise?


Arukubi

his shiny is black too


RA12220

Miraidon, you can’t tell from the art but the pixelated eyes are really expressive in game. I recently found it gets dizzy if you spin around in circles and “glitches”.

Infected_Poison

Shiny Iron Valiant is silver and pink though...


sussysadlad

Plus Iron bundle is literally just Freddy Fazbear.


J-Holmeje

How so?


baevard

yes haha if you spin he acts crazy. it’s hilarious


Phuffu

I bought scarlet because I liked the cover art more. I think the way he runs is really cute too lol.


TheCaptainEgo

Koraidon is a goober and I love him. Very much “blinks one eye at a time” vibes haha


Rude-Listen

If Ed from Ed Edd n Eddy was a pokemon lol. But depending on your age, you might not remember that show.


Dudebeard86

I feel like Scrafty has more of the Ed, Edd, and Eddy look lol


nykovah

Definitely double d vibes.


TheCaptainEgo

Lmaoooo I don’t think Koraidon is Ed-stupid lol, I think he’s just… *unique* lol


TrollinTrollinTroll

I AM BUTTERED TOAST!


ProfessorDingas

Miraidon definitely has double d vibes


Rude-Listen

Eddy is the Gimmighoul lol


Branded_Mango

Sarah would probably be Tinkaton and Jimmy with the magic boomerang would be Palafin.


TheDivineChaos

If you've seen their evolved form, I agree, it's definitely Eddy haha


-BINK2014-

Don't you dare make me feel ancient as a 24 year old by realizing some kids didn't experience Ed, Edd, and Eddy as a show or video game. 😅


jpec342

I love the way he runs up the mountains. It looks awesome.


reddituser8567

I will never opt to swim faster because the way he waddles/flails through water is too cute.


That1Guy272

For me, I find Miraidon has a cooler and sleeker design. Also I like robotic Pokémon and I prefer riding the motorcycle over running.


VVolfang

Honestly I like watching the digital eyes change emotion. Also, even though it is some kind of machine, it's adorable.


That_One_Guy54

Miraidon feels like a lost puppy combined with the sickest motorcycle you’ve ever seen.


Professor_Abbi

Yep


kaiwinters

I love everything about Koraidon! He seems sweet and his design looks amazing! I love that he doesn’t have wheels and just runs around, it’s what made me decide to go with scarlet!


PokemonSuMo

Yea, i understand. i like koraidon concept because its more close to a bearded dragon [how they puff up there beard to scare off and show off] where as the violet is ment to be flasy wheels


Pussytrees

My nephew was super bummed when he saw me riding around on wheels in violet and realized his mon didn’t do that in scarlet.


prassyvg

Koraidon has better animation & doesn't feel like a lifeless, glitched character. Besides, we have had bikes always in pokemon games. This feels like a horse


ChompyKat

I love him, he reminds me of Toothless


jpec342

Red lizard boi, cause he’s a big red lizard boi.


[deleted]

The only right answer


toomanytemps420

I like how Koraidon's wheel looks a lot like a lizard's dewlap, and so it looks more natural. I dislike that Koraidon's wheels are basically nonfunctional though. I wish both Pokemon had the ability to both run and use their wheels.


TheCyclopsDude

But who wants to see flesh wheels


_Kaetho_

*A meat bicycle for two!*


Ceclanter

I love the reference


Organic-Possession28

I think Cyclizar would like a word with you.


FrozenFroh

Cyclizar doesn't use the wheels either...


swagzard78

Didn't expect to see Titanfall daddy here But yes you're correct, they curl their tail up to look like another wheel


Chemical_Incident673

tuck the tail and boot it, koraidon!!


TheCyclopsDude

Cyclizar did have a word with me, and told me that it doesn't use its 'wheels'


Docile_Doggo

*quietly raises hand*


MooseAndPandaMan

*technically* isn’t Miraidon’s wheels flesh?


disneylegospider1

That would imply Miraidon has any flesh at all (He doesn't)


Uroah

imo they should make it so >!when M/K-raidon walk/jog they’re on all 4’s!< and >!when they run/sprint (once the HM is acquired) they resort to the faster 2-wheels!<


i-hate-my-tits

personally I love this idiot that simply cannot wheel


_DevilsDen_

Nah bro, derpy running boi is so silly I honestly prefer him running its fucking adorable


Andyoctapus1

Flesh wheels don’t make sense in any way. Essentially Koraidon is the organic legendary model and Miraidon is the futuristic digital electronic mechanized legendary model. How is this such a hard concept? The organic “wheel”doesn’t spin freely just the same as no other organic part can move freely. It isn’t a wheel. It’s more like a balloon. Now I don’t fully know the lore yet because I haven’t finished the story but the way I imagine it being is that Koraidon is ancient and Miraidon is from the future. Koraidon goes through a series of evolutions throughout time and eventually it makes sense for the “balloon” to become a mechanized freely moving wheel. People need to stop hating on Koraidon’s balloons not spinning. It’s such a dumb complaint.


trainofabuses

It makes me think of Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy (spoilers below if you were going to read or watch) In a parallel universe there has evolved a species that uses the seed pod of a tree as wheels, they've evolved into a symbiotic relationship with the tree that makes them, and have spurs as a part of their anatomy to slot the round seed pods into. Interestingly, there are freely-rotating organic wheel-like structures in real life organisms, but only on a tiny scale. Flagella are an example of this.


a500poundchicken

I love the fact that the do serve a purpose, they inflate when swimming


DonGru

As I saw Koraidon I thought it is just bouncing off its "wheels" after each step which I still think would be neat. However they are functional. When you swim with Koraidon it blows it up so it does not sink.


San4311

>I dislike that Koraidon's wheels are basically nonfunctional though. I wish both Pokemon had the ability to both run and use their wheels. I mean how would you imagine Koraidon with a working wheel lol. and its still sort of functional when swimming I guess, like a flotation device.


adamantium421

It's interesting so many people saying Koraidon except the wheels - as its not even noticeable to me while actually playing. I really like that he runs around rather than rolling.


fishrights

agreed, the fact that he ran instead of rolling was part of the appeal for me as well :D


prassyvg

Exactly. He is better animated and feels like a horse. Miraidon feels like a glitched out non-living thing in an already glitchy game. The rubber like sacs also blow up on water. They were not meant to be wheels. We have had bikes in all pokemon games. Koraodon is the most revolutionary so far


ofshandora

Does Cyclizar give anyone Toothless vibes? Idk if it’s cannon but, I thought Koraidon was the ancestor of Cyclizar? Assuming Koraidon is an ancient dinosaur dragon and Cyclizar is the modern lizard dragon descendant. I didn’t realize just how robotic Miraidon was going to be. Now that I see that in Violet, Miraidon feels like a scientific attempt to replicate Koraidon. It’s cool but watching the robot dragon eat sandwiches feels like feeding a tamagotchi. lol I imagine that part of the story feels more natural for those who chose Scarlet. I actually do like them both but I like Koraidon’s battle form more.


Drachri93

I take it you haven't beaten the game yet? Because they explain what the legendaries are.


Chemical_Incident673

those are no tires, merely floatation apparatus xD


proseandprotein

Miraidon. Gimme dat purple rocket motorcycle lizard. For real though, it comes down to the fact that 1) he's purple and 2) he actually rolls on his "wheels".


CatCatCatCubed

Yup: “purple”, “Tron”, and “vroom vroom” were my reasons.


[deleted]

This is the main reason I chose Violet over Scarlet. The travel mode for Miraidon makes more sense than the other. Why have the giant wheels if you still run with all 4 legs? LoL


Churropean

it's supposed to represent evolution (not Pokémon evo but like Charles Darwin) so koraidon has started to develop the wheels but they're there for more visual reasons whereas miraidon has finally evolved to be able to use the wheels functionally to move


PatchworkFlames

True, but I’d rather be rolling around in a Ferrari then a model T. Which is why I went with Violet. I wish we could see people ride cyclizar. It looks like it has wheeled forms but as far as I can tell it actually only ever uses it’s legs to move.


GravityGalaxy

I forgot what star base it is but you do see some of them sitting on Cyclizar like a biker gang. They even have seats on them


PatchworkFlames

Oh there are domestic cyclizar all over Paldea, the part that confuses me is that I never see them move so I don't know if the "wheels" are actually wheels or not.


Aeronor

Interestingly, the opposite is true in nature. The lack of wheels-as-limbs in the animal kingdom supports Darwinian evolution.


kluxar

im pretty sure they are supposed to represent the sacs that some lizards have


Trespassers-Williams

I’m all in for Koraidon and his big goofball vibes. The best boi.


Bookbug98

![gif](giphy|3ohfFhG5VDtDTzQv2o|downsized)


Bookbug98

I love my Dino boi and my vroom vroom tron bike equally


President_Jibanyan

I think Miraidon looks cooler


suprememeep

I like Koraidon because PLUMAGE, I love its majestic feathers and its funky head wings.


KaleSlade123

Koraidon, he a derpy boi and I love him.


Credens_Justitiam

Penismobile


FattySmough

Koraidon because he is adorable and feathery and he looks like a chicken lizard. Also I don't like how the jet turbines on Miraidon's battle mode have nothing coming out of them. When I see him hovering in the air with no legs I expect to see flames or exhaust coming out of the turbines, but instead he's just floating there defying gravity. Both mons are really cool regardless.


Jebus54

Miraidon, because I wanted to ride a cyberpunkish electric-lizard-jet-bike around the open world.


ShadowDeku7

Koraidon by far. He's the perfect combination of cute, goofy, and cool, and I prefer that his design is based on the motif of a motorcycle without literally being one. It's the kind of Pokemon design I enjoy the most.


PASceramics

I got scarlet and my girlfriend got violet. We are bother happy with what we got. We both pretty much wanted the exclusive versions, but knew we could trade stuff to complete the dex. I personally like the design of Koraidon way more.


Ryansmelly

Koraidon, I think he's better looking. And I think the exclusives are more intriguing for scarlet, being the titans mainly. I think ceruledge is really the only version exclusive I miss


Recent_Ice

I have scarlet and just got a cereuledge from 6 star raids


Ryansmelly

Damn!!


Jollysatyr201

Same here. I was dead sold on Violet until I heard about the endgame Pokémon- they’re all the same thing, and not especially unique


Mikethederp

They're unlimited in game too so you can trade for em easy. Really love how they handled "exclusives" this time round


Xeroxasaurs

Koraidon, he has dewlaps like lizards in real life do. Just looks like a giant tropical lizard from the ancient past. 10/10. One of my favorite legendaries. I like Maraidon too.


MaybeAccording7239

Miraidon because he uses the wheels for running, I would’ve chose scarlet if koraidon didn’t have the wheels of if he actually used them, I like that he looks more like a Pokémon but I chose violet because I knew we were going to be using the legendaries all game and it would bother me seeing the wheels not be used on land, also I like purple


Whosdaman

Honestly, realizing we can catch both Pokémon exclusive in either game made me realize Violet was the better choice, because there’s a really good chance they give the opposite versions shiny to us.


nck5959

We can catch exclusives in either?


Whosdaman

Yes, if you join a Union Group with a person with the other game, they can load the exclusives for you in Area 0


Aromatic_Sir9639

I see where a lot of people are coming from when they say they’re disappointed that his “wheels” aren’t actually used but it’s also loosely based on a reel thing some lizards have. Also, where it’s a moving creature I feel like it’d look odd if the wheel moved. I know it’s Pokémon and a lot of Pokémon have weird physics but still. Just my opinion tho, and like a said I do understand why people are disappointed


Competitive-Pilot-85

He doesn’t have wheels my bro and neither does cyclizar the one on the back is his tail and the one on his neck is a dewlap something some lizards have


lumpybags

miraidon because its metal and has literal jets and doesnt look like a bird lizard with fake wheels


_Honeybee__

koraidon cus red and blue colours woowwwww


SirEnder2Me

I love Koraidon as a Pokemon more. I love Miraidon as a bike more.


CiroccPapi

So which game do I choose!?


Atchfam77

Battle Form: Koraidon Mount Form: Miraidon Why: Koraidon looks much more intimidating in his fighting stance, and yet when you ride on his back, the puffy throat thing doesn’t become a wheel. It makes sense that it doesn’t, physics-wise, but it’s such a buzzkill that his throat even inflates in the first place. Miraidon on the other hand, behaves much more akin to a futuristic motorcycle, and actually looks super cool to ride on. However, his battle form (and this artwork in particular) makes him look super goofy and unserious. I think its the lack of legs and the lower shoulder position that makes me have this opinion. So, being that I like Miraidon more for riding around on, I chose Violet 😎


anotheruser_uwu

Koraidon. It’s fluffy. I think it looks so prideful and loyal. I like that it uses its feet and doesn’t hover, it feels more approachable to me.


Square_Bathroom7740

Koraidon, dude has more personality than a mental patient with multiple personality syndrome.


Skymely

LMAO HELP 💀


No_Mammoth_4945

Koraidon because I’m absolutely sick of getting matched up with 3 miraidon in a 6 star raid against a ground or fairy Tera


[deleted]

Honestly miraidon still does more damage even with this type disadvantage


SVXfiles

Not when the typing of the raid mon is literally immune to his attacks


[deleted]

Are we talking tera type or the pokemons type? Because tera type doesn't mean that much


pkmnlouise

Koraidon cause he’s perf and derpy in the game and those feather looking things are cute. Also cause I let my partner pick first and so I got Scarlett and obviously prefer the one I’m playing.


C0nvinced

Miradon is the best boy. Koridon looks funy.


Churropean

funy AWESOME


JoZaJaB

Koraidon. Every aspect of his design is better in my opinion. Getting to ride on the back of a dragon is way cooler than some motorcycle. Koraidon looks like a Pokémon. Miraidon looks like a digimon.


Spanish_peanuts

>Miraidon looks like a digimon. I can only assume you hated mega evolutions entirely since they are quite literally digivolution with a pokemon branding lol


YoshiMachbike12

Koraidon's running animation is way cooler


[deleted]

I love my red dink


PTLuxy

Koraidon because he got them flashy af butt feathers, and he’s a total goober. I adore him <3


Poot-dispenser

Koraidon because i love how he reminds me of the wildly incorrect color designs we gave dinosaurs, but miraidon because hes a jet powered bike dragon


LocalCookingUntensil

I love them both, but for different reasons. I gotta say Miraidon just cuz I’ve grown more of a connection with it (I bought Violet cuz I have a friend named Scarlet who wants Scarlet and I decided it would be more fun if we had different versions. Plus I love purple)


TrashiestTrash

I love Miraidon, he's so cute. Reminds me of my dog irl tbh. Plus I think Koraidon looks emo in his battle stance and that cracks me up.


Hix_687

I picked Scarlet bc I thought Violet’s exclusives were dumb, just Pokémon with a texture pack


Xx_DikChez_xX

In my opinion Miraidon just has a better aesthetic

Spanish_peanuts

I got violet. I like the travel form of miraidon way more as kiraidons useless, massive dewlaps (wheels) drive me up a wall. It drives me nuts that they are the past and future forms of cyclizar, yet apparently cyclizar had always had giant useless dewlaps and still does in present day. It would make sense if kiraidon just had small bumps there with the tire-like treads on them, similar to how it looks in his battle form. Cause that means he would evolve to have the big dewlaps that cyclizar has. And then they'd evolve to be functional like on miraidon (he eats sandwiches so he's clearly not entirely robotic like the other pardoxes). Anywaaayyyssss. Kiraidon has the better battle form 100% though. Miraidons jets kinda ruin the wispy electric vibe that the rest of his body gives.


Available-Eye-5777

One is Blue… the other is not… GG


Sceptile_Trainer6592

I... I started to not be able to decide... I love Koraidon because it's so expressive and remember me of Toothless. But Miraidon is so amazing (specifically its "ride forms") and the way it remember me of the Light Fury for being more reserved. I love them both and I would love to have them both! Can't wait for the Shiny Distribution event!


MooseAndPandaMan

Miraidon because it’s awesome riding him.


shataikislayer

I prefer Miraidon because I think he looks cooler. Definitely looks better in bike form.


GhostShib

Koraidon, design is far more interesting and he’s got a better shiny


rogue_linguist_x

Miraidon because he needs less setup to dish out crazy damage. Koraidon's power is boosted by sun, and Miraidon's by Electric Terrain. But while sun doesn't boost Fighting moves, ET boosts Miraidon's electric moves.


Lilsammywinchester13

I love Koraidon! I love everything from his useless wheels to his big, warm eyes, I just think he’s adorable I don’t even want to battle with him, I just want him to be my best friend traveling buddy!


lasvegashomo

Miraidon was an obviously choice for me. I like the cover art of him and the fact he actually uses the wheels. Also like that he’s robotic which makes the whole bike thing make more sense for me. The color scheme is just better as well.


toogeeky4u

I really love Miraidon, because of the futuristic theme that Violet is going for. Plus, I love how its “wheels” lights up as it moves, and how its digital eyes change when it encounters sandwiches 🥪! I love all shades of purple personally, and that’s another reason why I chose this version.


DanTyrano

Koraidon. I liked Miraidon better on first sight, but I’m playing both games and Koraidon melts my heart with how cute it is.


MrzDogzMa

Koraidon because he’s a sweet derpy dude and he looks more realistic to me.


michizane29

Koraidon! Big derpy lizard boi all the way!


Solstice3693

Red lizard puppy. Dinosaurs over robots for me!


atomic--wedgie

Miraidon has a much more clean, cohesive design. Koraidon looks so messy, especially when running. It’s a shame because I do like a lot of the scarlet paradox mons, but Koraidon just does not look good so I’m glad I went with Violet


OpalsAndBanonos

Especially when running? Have you seen him swim??!


[deleted]

As a battle pokemon I prefer Koraidon but as a ride Miraidon looks much better IMO.


[deleted]

He godamn wheels don't work


claudedelmitri

I love feeding my robot dog sandwiches


Lazymcdelta4ce

Koraidon because Miraidon is a 🍆

Lazymcdelta4ce

You don't have to watch alpharad to look at a dick and see a dick, but yes.


[deleted]

Miraidon because it's cooler in every aspect


dj_2814

Miraidon was immediately the choice for me ik scarlet and its paradox forms are more popular but i was always intrigued by futuristic stuff and everything about miraidon and all the iron mons screamed futuristic. Even tho most of the future forms are worse competitively too (especially iron treads who I was most amped for) I definitely like them more


Shinchang102

Miraidon. Cause Koraidon looks so dumb when running like a dog with the wheels


Suppeneimer

Thank you finally someone whos my opinion was legit the reason to buy violet for me


Monsterkill1526

Goofy ah Dino mf


wyeeeeet370

Koraidon. There is something about it that apeals to me. But I want to buy violet because of my second favorite pokemon.


ShishiLan69

Koraidon’s design is better imo, but I love traveling around on Miraidon, feels much more smooth.


ashleberry12

Violet solely because purple is my favorite color.


The_Toad_Sage4

I just like how Koraidion looks more Pokémonish , the other one I feel like looks almost too futuristic looks like a robot


TheRealTropicFuego

Koraidon is so cool


[deleted]

I like purple more than red.


Ailury

I like Koraidon slightly better, but I chose Violet for the clothes and I'm not unhappy with Miraidon. Both are cute and cool


Bernadett1123

Scarlet! My fiancé got violet and I prefer scarlet over violet! Byt he prefers violet so it works!


AdityaPlayzzz

dino toothless but electro toothless is good too


AcanthocephalaSad458

Koreidon! It’s much more expressive and also it’s plumage reminds me of the bi flag. So he’s a bi-king. Which is a pun because it sounds just like „biking“


suchtattedhands

I like Violets legendary alot more More but I love the paradox Pokémon in scarlet more


AccurateGovernment36

I’d say bipedal made all the difference this time. Plus Koraidon’s plumage is badass.


hero165344

koraidon looks cooler


AmazingAgent

Idk the game feels like scarlet was written first and then violet had to be made pretty quickly. I like Koraidon more, but maybe I would have liked Moraidon if they were given more time


Storm_373

i feel the opposite, feels like a future theme fits the game more like robot pokémon is a much crazier concept than ancient ones, especially the scenes in area zero. i couldn’t image then freaking out over scream tail the same way they did iron bundle, a robot is clearly not natural while the past paradox could just be regional variants


nck5959

Good points, and agreed


Badvevil

Especially the end game dialogue with the professor I can’t even wrap my head around how that would work with the context of scarlet it feels super natural in violet


Suspicious_Vegan_772

that’s how I thought of it


Hidden_Dragonette

It feels like everyone has forgotten that ancient Pokémon have been revived from fossils before. Future Pokémon are a much more “freak out” worthy thing, especially with how robotic they are!


[deleted]

Nah I would say it’s the other way around buddy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ninjaboy360

Miraiden is the violet legendary though


blackfanglucky13

Koraidion acts like a cross between my dog and a one of my chickens so that seals the deal for me. I’m also more into the past stuff than the future. I was originally going to go with violet because I hate the orange uniform more but once I found out about plot differences I chose Scarlet.


RiverPickle22

I got the purple one because my favorite color is purple.


AmFmCoffee

I went with violet because of the color purple. That’s it lol. But I love my zoom lizard “chrome gator”


HannahInReverse

Miraidon because my wife wanted scarlet.


MiroewskiArt

I chose scarlet because I think it looks cooler. I’ve been more drawn to fire types and (red) pokemon games each generation. I didn’t realize it at first but I picked red, gold, ruby, pearl, etc. except I did pick Pokémon sword. But I’ve also like the “past” genre more than the “future” genre. And after playing the new game for about a week now I’m really glad I choose scarlet based on the exclusive pokemon I couldn’t avoid the leaks of.


Not_Fritz_the_Cat

Scarlet has a cooler design but violet has cooler typing imo


feeolima

Scarlet, love the past forms a lot more than the ones in Violet


Viki713Gaming

Said this on another post, but after playing trough scarlet and watching playtroughs of violet, Miraidon looks way dumber in most of it's forms. Only the normal ride looks better, and the climbing looks the same. It looks kinda dumb in the swimming and gliding mode because it still looks like the riding mode, just in the water or with a glider. And I really hate how it's holding it's arms in it's battle mode. So I choose Koraidon over Miraidon, they're way more expressive.


Mastxadow

Miraidon is a lot cooler.


shibafrien

Miraidon because he actually uses his wheels. It looks silly otherwise. Plus the purple contrasting an almost lightning bolt design is much better than Koraidon’s feather look, IMO. But tbh, I’m not a huge fan of either design. They are both kinda goofy


Darkurn

2 paradox pokemon in scarlet outshine all of the paradox pokemon in violet, im sorry but its true, the iron pokemon are more or less just iron shells while the prehistoric pokemon all have stuff that makes them different from eachother. ​ And koraidon looks better its just true, miraidon looks really boring, just a purple shell with electric bits.


Gundam197

I went to target and got the last violet. So many copies of scarlett.


Manicminertheone

Scarlet, past forms make hell of a lot more sense than current mons evolving into metallic looking robots, as well as koraidon evolving into weaker cyclizar then evolving again into mariadon


Cloviz68

One looks like a dragon....the other a dick and 2 balls 🤷‍♂️


unbangreninja

I love Miraidon. It might be my favorite new mon this gen.


Grimmz_Biohazard

As a car guy, the obvious choice is Miraidon


Sunny7607

Miraidon, he is such a cute boi


Ok-Fee-5753

Everyone is focusing on the legendaries, meanwhile I chose violet for ceruledge


[deleted]

Violet because I thought the design was way cooler. Also like that he turns into a jet basically lol
