Retrospring is shutting down on 1st March, 2025 Read more
For Balei I feel like Dusk Mane Necrozma also works for her, other than that I can also see her using Tapu Bulu as it’s the Tapu where she lives!
For Fausto I can see either Volcanion as a nod to him becoming more cooled down but still having that fiery passion to him, that or Victini as a sign of him becoming stronger
Not a legendary, but Briar's Pokémon would be absolutely Victini.
Although Briar never captured Victini (and doesn't want to), her friendship with Victini symbolizes her growth in some way.
I don't know how to explain this shortly but Victini symbolizes Briar coming to terms with her feelings regarding the past, the present and the future.
You see, Victini actually relates to Briar a lot. He already has some history with one of Briar's ancestors, and when he met this ancestor, he lived scared of his past—I don't have the details yet of what Victini went through but it has to do with one of the many legendary wars in the Pokémon world. Anyway, the thing is that this ancestor found him and showed him kindness that he hadn't know existed, and hopes to live in the present and look forward to the future.
Following Pokemon's logic, I like to think that Briar is physically similar to this ancestor (like, Ares-Arezu levels of similar; but with a different personality than her ancestor), and immediately stood by her side. It didn't take him long to notice that Briar, just like him, lived in fear of what happened in the past and didn't have a vision for the future, and that blurred her whole way of living; he related to that so he wanted to help her (even if Briar tried to push him aside multiple times). With time, he grew fond of Briar as a person; Victini knew that Briar wasn't the same as her ancestor but he also enjoyed hanging out with her, even if she's difficult and sometimes a little rude. He knows that Briar has something nice inside (very very hidden, but there is something). (:
So yeah, their friendship (that took some time to blossom) symbolizes a story of hope, to say something. Victini wasn't the only one responsible for her character development, there were so many other characters and, of course, herself. But he was still important to her. And needless to say, Victini also helped Briar achieve victory multiple times.
Also I'd like to mention that this friendship and development doesn't necessarily make Briar a good person. Just because she has this positive development doesn't mean it's like redemption to make with her what they did with Lusamine or something like that lol Briar is still Briar (derogatory)
So yeah TL;DR: the answer is Victini
First, she wouldn't have a Legendary she'd have a Mythical!! And I haven't played pokemas and I knowwww Lear already has Hoopa but tbh,,, Mel and Hoopa would do an amazing pair because I said so and the pokemon is very very cool.
but legendary??? mmmm
Yveltal I think would be nice? Lugia too because she visits their shrine and leaves offerings very often haha
I'mma have to get back to you on this one lmao. I have IDEAS but nothing set in stone yet. I'll prob have it figured out by the end of the year.
Estella's journey is a tough nut to crack.
Summer with Magnafae and Libelle with Nagathora. They are both Bermilta’s main legendaries. Why? For Summer I hope to unravel things by the end of this year. With Libelle it’s the god of her tribe, she shirked her responsibility to become the chieftain/lorekeeper for Drachtea Valley but ironically ends up being chosen by their god anyway. Nagathora also has to do with the mystery surrounding the disappearance of her biological parents so it’s also a sort of closure thing too.
I'm not a big fan of giving Legendaries to my ocs so the only one I could think of that makes sense is slapping Ho Oh onto Kingston bc of the ancestor lore and his involvement with bringing Ho Oh back to Johto after the events of Zirca. Kingston's character arc = distancing himself from other ppl to 1) protect them 2) bc he doesn't wanna lose anyone else important to him + Ho Oh lore being that it brings things back to life and its tower being a symbol of friendship and hope between Pokémon and people is like bringing that hope back to life for Kingston as well.
For Wily it would be Darkrai.
Despite meeting it as a child and its presence later in his life, Wily would never consider it one of his partners, mostly out of guilt.
Seeing it as an equal and partner is a leap he doesn't make until the end of his story, when he finds it in him to fight as a trainer would.
Elio's endgame development arc legendary would still be either Zekrom or B-Kyurem; the two are one and the same. They both represent Ideals and looking toward the future.
Elio's entire character was reaching his ideal self through the culmination of experiences gained over the course of his life while reinforcing his personal belief that no dream or goal is too big - even if it can't be achieved in one lifetime, so long as you work towards it. Not to mention that it's important to live out your imagination - which can take you anywhere, stimulates progress, and gives rise to a new evolution, rather than your history - which limits your perception, stagnates growth, and leads you down a single path.
