SPOILER: Palkia and Dialga are in games based on gen 4. shocking, i know. im just as surprised as you are. Jokes aside, these are probably the most disappointing fights in the entire game

If you ever believe everything will be ok,remember: GameFreak approved those designs

a boss battle where the boss barely moves and spams 3 easily avoidable moves....ain't that a surprise? smh Edit: why do they look so cursed?

Did a child just throw bags of Doo doo fences at palkia as a pokemon boss battle?

I can honestly say I never thought there was any Pokémon design that was out right bad but Palkia’s design here… Saying it looks like a bad fan design would be cruel for bad fan designs.

From seeing this I wish there were more varied attacks for palkia to like time blip across the field same could be for palkia. the thing they don't use their signature moves is weird but I guess palkia can't even do it without arms. And why does Palkia not use spacial rend in the pre fight animation but generic purple beam.

Is this how ALL the boss fights work in this game? You roll, throw, roll, throw, roll and throw until the health depletes?

Best part about the game? the music and specail animations They really stepped up for these

My idea for an addition to these bossfights are ads. Maybe like Unknown come in or some type of fodder pokemon that can disrupt you if you ignore them. I think my biggest disappoinment here is you dont face them in traditional battle but its just the new boss mechanics.

So, the exact same fight for both? Not even the colors of the attacks are different? Really? anyways, since you caught dialga and palkia, what happens to the events of DPP?

Man whoever who designed those other versions of palkia and dialga must have been high AF

the hardest noble pokemon for me was avalugg, I was impressed when I saw the how easy it is the final battle And at least this battle was better than simply spamming A to a hand until the dogs appear and win the battle instantaneously

Wasn’t expecting to see roll be the best defensive option in a Pokémon game. Color me surprised

Dialga looks like it swallowed a fork like squidward on that one episode

As great as this game was for me these fights were lackluster but I still like how GF changed it up from just "battle legendary and throw masterball"

Wish those boss battles were harder. They seem like a good challenge at first but after seeing every move once its almost impossible to get hit. Avalugg was a bit harder imo.

Now if this was pokemon mystery dungeon.... ahahahahah!!!!! It be a hell of a raid battle and more so with only two pokemon. You and your partner.

They could have just given us Primal Dialga and Primal Palkia. Primal or shadow/dark Dialga from Explorers looks so cool.

Man, Palkia must be REAL pissed about losing his arms.

Fucking arcanine on that tiny ass island looks harder than this

Sucks that these legendaries had to be ruined with these terrible designs that could have easily been fixed by simply removing the gem out of Dialga's throat and giving Palkia his arms back

Well, that explains why Spear Pillar is in ruins during Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl. Also, for some reason, I feel like the special red Poke Balls are made out of the same materials used to craft the Red Chain.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus brought to you by DeviantArt. Was it really necessary to make that statue in Eterna City an actual Pokemon? It looks cool as an abstract representation of folklore, it looks hideous as a living thing.

Imagine if boss battle were more like Astral Chain and you had to control your pokémon and trainer at the same time.

I can’t get over this design and the lazy battle arena. So much is wrong with this fight

Kml I love how Palkia looks like he is ready to throw hands at 4:51.

Dialga looks fine... But what the fuck Palkia.

Good for a first try, needs more work tho Gamefreak, stop releasing annually, hire more talent and give the team an actual budget, you are on the cusp of greatness!

YO WHY DOES THE ARCEUS-DIALGA LOOK SO UNFINISHED

Poor Palkia.

Battles are brain dead easy and there's almost no difference between them.

Good lord, _this_ is their revolutionary new battle system? Just dodge roll and throw stuff at Pokemon for 5 minutes straight?

Imagine if Dialga could slow down the player to get a free shot in. ...And Palkia could reach through the TV and smack the controller out of the player's hand.

I really don't get what they were going for with this "throw balms" thing It sounds really stupid to me

It’s sad when you realize they effectively mutilated Palkia and Dialga’s designs here so they could do LESS work and essentially copy & paste the exact same boss fight onto two separate Pokémon so their animations would match.

Ganefreak should thank that there is no other competitor and everyone is addicted to Pokémon. Awful game to me

Palkia looks like an amputee centuar and Dialga looks like he got something stuck in his throat. Giratina still has the best origin forme

Did a little girl just beat a literal god by throwing rocks at it while doing dark soul rolls in a gameplay somewhat reminicent of FGO ARCADE?

God their new forms look so cursed... and the battle is so disappointingly easy rip.

Bruh why don’t they move at all 💀and when they do move, they move like two feet.

I really wish we get dlc and updates in the future that fixes this aspect of the game. Dialga and Palkia got treated dirty in this game

THE ROAR OF TIME ANIMATION WAS SOOOOOO BAD LOOKS LIKE A GENERIC BLUE HYPERBEAM FFS

All I can think of when I see these designs, especially Palkia, is HORSE

Wow not only do both Forms look like shit.. they use the same attacks. Damn thats so fucking Lazy also all the leakers so far Say that these are some of the easiest fights... nice job Gamefreak. :D

I swear that they dont look that bad here, The leaked models were horendous

These designs look like the "this Pokemon does not exist" AI and my sleep paralysis demon had a baby

I’ve seen some gameplays and the game doesn’t look BAD, but rather mediocre, especially taking into account games like Breath of the Wild and Astral Chain are also on the switch, which have much more satisfying exploration and combat respectively (and it goes without saying they also have much nicer visuals)

Not going to lie I was put off at first at the Lord forms but they grew on me. I mean they are gods so it makes sense for their true forms to lool abstract to us because they are beyond logic and understanding. As for why horses, Palkia Lord dex entry says the form is an imitation of Arceus.

It’s crazy to me people actually were expecting some dark souls type boss battles. I was just hype for the fact I’m literally fighting a Pokémon n not just my own

I don't care what people think about this battle. I think it was really awesome and I always tried to imagine how it would be to battle Palkia and Dialga that way.

So wait, do you get all three by the end?

Man that palkia design is laughable

It feels like they made them both become four legged so that they can re use the same animations. Because Dialga looks terrible but you can definitely see whereits coming from, but Palkia just looks bad and the centaurmotif comes outof nowhere(btw i dont really know why they become like that id love to know)

Ooooh so you can use your Pokémon in this boss battle! I've only seen videos where the player doesn't do that!

Gonna tell my kids this was the Opera Boss battle from Nier Automata

is this a fan made game ?

Posting this so early is a real prosafiagaming moment ngl

im sad to say that im happy i moved on from pokemon, maybe when i be a game dev i wont make bland experiences

I don't get how palkias blue ring attack don't hit you , you not diving UNDER or OVER it. You diving INTO it

They’re pretty bad designs, but I can’t help but think that’s the point. They tried to be more like their creator, Arceus, to obtain more power and strength, yet in exchange, they lost the ability to properly use their signature moves. Palkia loses its arms which prevents it from properly manipulating / bending space to its will with Spacial Rend. Dialga has this weird thing obstructing its throat which prevents it from commanding the flow of time properly with its Roar of Time. While they are cool concepts, it doesnt excuse the actual designs itself though, but it is what it is in the end.

No Damage Run seems pretty common for these things

Honestly if they removed the big part right under Dialga's neck I kinda like the design but dear god Palkia's seems sooo lazy it looks like they ripped off its arms and lower body and stuck what was left on a horse I really don't like it Edit: Changed Dialgia to Dialga

The new forms might be gross, but the music slaps. Especially that one segment that sounds like an Intial D intro.

I did end up losing the first time, won the 2nd time, restarted it because I wanted to at least have the pokemon battle, lost 3 more times, and then beat it. Honestly. I really liked this fight, but I can see why it was disappointing. The best way I wouldn't have fixed it would have been to not have the health bar go down so fast if the player was spamming balms. Just so they could get 1 to 2 pokemon battles in. But that's just me.

Honestly dont like the designs still even in motion.... Its like someone in gamefreak were like "You know maybe those nerds who think biblically accurate angels are the only way to depict gods are right"

I like the designs they’re god deities makes sense they would look strange

Didn't even know this one had a pokemon battle lol, what a let down of a fight

Unlike most, I do like the origin forms of dialga and palkia, it's forms they took when Arceus created them, their bodies haven't had the chance to develop into what we know, I like the uncanny look they have, it makes sense since they are gods. The strange body proportions and missing limbs honestly just make it better in my opinion, their bodies filled with godly energy from Arceus, they morphed into forms that were able to store that energy.

I can't help myself but to think of an worse version of Snatcher's boss fight from A Hat in Time when I see this boss fight against Dialga/Palkia!

I seriously love these how these designs instill unsettling vibes

I think I’ve out grown Pokémon at this point

Okay, I avoided spoilers up until now…..what the heck is that “Palkia” thing?!? Garbage.

Nice pokemon fangame

I love Vanilluxe, Garbodor and Klefki. But please don't allow James Turner to remain as the lead art director, he's only fine for a couple of designs, not as the one who steers the entire ship of a generation. (He wasn't art director on Legends though, from what I've heard).

Is this a Pokémon or is it Dark Souls

Honestly, I just wish Palkia wasn't amputated. Going full Centaur with it's design would have made it look so much cooler.

literaly monster hunter but for baby levels of dificulty meh

Part of me is fine with the bizarre looking Dialga. But that Palkia...first of all, I'm naming that design Horsia. Second...eww.

Is it superglued to the floor? Literally all projectile aoes.

The boss battle is the opposite of the clan you pick right? I want to make sure I fight Palkia instead of Dialga.

The only good thing is the music

The designs just scream *i am god* , shame that the fight is so easy.

Wow this combat is soooo bad. What were they thinking? That gameplay is terrible. The definition of turning your brain and body off and going to sleep

3:07 damn A bit overkill, no ?

My god, this looks awful. It looks like an orthopedic cheap-ass f2p phone game.

What? They ponyfied these legendaries? For what purpose even? I'm of the mind that these should have been in Galar along with all the other new pony legendaries from there. What is a centaur-like monster with shoulders and torso but no arms?

Aside from the deigns(that I hate, thanks gamefreak)... only I find these two boss fights... trash? The best the god of time and space can do is... standing still and spamming draco meteor? REALLY? I want to fight fucking za warudo.

.... I was REALLY hoping nightmare centaur Palkia and mecha Dialga leaks weren't real... New sleep paralysis demons.

I seriously hope the next main line games not only have all 905 Pokémon to be transferable and having exp share optional, but a lot of stuff from Legends.

Theres a theory that Palkias arms are absent so it cant use special rend and Dialgas throat is blocked so it cant use roar of time.

So... >Both boss battles are exactly the same. >Cutscenes, pre-fight and post-fight, are identical. >Fight's slow, attacks are predictable. >Textures start popping in/out as the camera zooms out of (what I assume is) Mount Coronet. Yeah... Still not sold on this game here. Both of my brothers are getting the game, so I could ask if they'd let me try it sometime since I don't have any plans on getting it for myself. Form my own thoughts on it, y'know?

Geez I just noticed they didn't even scale them properly for their big boss fight where it would make sense for them to be huge

Those designs are an abomination. Palkia a little less than Dialga.

Their designs are so cursed, i love it!

dialga actually looks kinda good but palkia going from a humanoid to a centaur with no arms is kinda weird also maybe if palkia became a horse dialga could have become a humanoid but idk

Omg this is the full release? WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE A FANGAME LMAO The gameplay actually just reminds me of Remnant, but without the cool guns or abilities...

The 3ds models are showing their age it seems

They could have made the battle a lot harder by making Palkia/Dialga run around the Arena.

I feel that at least Dialga could have used more attacks that stop time and such. Rather than spam shockwaves and meteors

The game looks interesting, but the alternate forms of palkia and dialga I do not like.
