Reaction to Magiana?
Certainly very curious… presumably she’s the vanguard of generation VII, and of course that’s exciting, but the really interesting part is that this is a legendary Pokémon who was explicitly built by humans – and not thousands of years ago by mysterious forgotten magic like Golurk, nor genetically engineered from an existing template like Mewtwo, but in the 16th century with mechanics and clockwork, with the same kind of principles that modern engineering still functions on. I think there’s a lot Magearna might tell us about the history of Pokémon training, and how it changed at the dawn of the modern world. What really catches my eye is that she seems to have Pokéball emblems built into her design, and given that Pokéballs as we know them are supposed to be quite recent inventions, that makes me wonder what the connection is. Did the symbol mean something different five hundred years ago, or was the design of the first Pokéballs based on Magearna’s body?
