With the way the Ultra Beast are being advertised as a new threat it would be cool if the box legendary is something that helps you against them instead of being a tool to help a madman's plot like every game past gen 2.

Have you ever actually seen a giraffe? Or a horse?

Girafarig looks nothing like a horse and everything like a giraffe.

these are important animal components we are talking about here, a giraffe is not defined by its weird knob horns its all about that neck and the spindly legs

Girafarig's neck is comparable to the length of it's legs, just like a real giraffe.

Girafarig is based on a Giraffokeryx, which resembles the okapi and the giraffe.

it's supposed to share some special new mechanic or something with the starter pokemon evolutions, so once we know what rockruff does we'll know what they do i guess

It'll be that anime Synchro Evolution or whatever most likely. How that differs at all from Mega Evolution, I have no idea.

It's far from the first time they've based a design off of something highly obscure.

well now that mega evolution is a thing, they can continue introducing alternate super-forms that are mutually exclusive but basically the same thing (stat boost, new appearance, new ability) so odds are if they have the synchro stuff it's going to be something like that, since thats basically how Ash Greninja works

i mean they already did this for Kyogre and Groudon by giving them mega evolutions but calling it something else so theyve established some base rules for super forms or whatever you want to call them

If you read the OP, you'll know that I've already done that. But it'll still cause derails anyway, despite keeping the OP up to date with all the new features that's been revealed.
