Arc Suit Cynthia

[superstaridolstart]

I wasn't planning on doing this, but @lanceappreciationblog was waiting for me to make a full version, so here it is

Also, @mew-cake wanted to see this after I asked them if a clean version of the music existed. (It didn't)

Biblically Accurate Cynthia.

My opinion on the Arc suits: What. The. Fuck.

First, the logic behind it. Like, the connection between each character and Arceus, and whether the character needs the alt or not. An alt needs to be relevant to the focal point of the design.

It has been four(?) years since the last Lance alt in this five year old game. Meanwhile, Steven is getting alts like no one’s business! Cynthia got some great treatment too. She got the Giratina suit, the Alola pseudo-legendary alt. Also, she has three themes across the board. Most of the champions have a decisive theme. Most…

Hm…I guess who doesn’t have a decisive theme out of the Champions. HM…

Seriously, why does Giovanni get a decisive theme instead of Lance? All the other champions get a decisive theme(to my knowledge)! So why can’t he?

The only way for Lance to get an alt is to be tied with Steven and Cynthia. Why can’t he and Clair get alts together? They’re literal cousins! Silver is also another alternative solution. Do I see/understand the dad!Lance son!Silver head cannon so famous in the Lance fandom? No not at all. But at least it’s something.

Moving on to Steven, what significance does Steven have with Arceus? I know this applies with Lance, but at least he’s from Johto which has some connective tissue with Acreus and Sinnoh, but Steven? He doesn’t have any connective tissue that links him with Arceus (to my knowledge). He has more connections to Rayquaza or the Lati duo more than anything. Besides, Hoenn’s husband would relate to Regigigas or Heatran than anything. Steven doesn’t have anything that can connect himself to Sinnoh other than that one place in Sinnoh in the post-game(?).

As for Cynthia, uh… I have nothing to really bitch about. She has a strong connection to Arceus, especially with her bloodline. She obviously has interest with Arceus since she’s a history nerd (and she’s proud). If anything, Cynthia really fits the bill with the Arc suit idea. I can’t really complain here…which is great!

Secondly, the characters’ synergy with each other. A character alt should have a good connection with the other characters receiving the same alt. For example, Feh’s choice for who gets an alt makes sense. Marth’s bridal alt is paired with Caeda’s bridal alt because they are canonical husband and wife.

The whole Steven/Cynthia/Lance connection is shown in Masters. They’re the final boss of the main story I think. I didn’t finish it because I was wrapped up in getting characters I actually liked. Their relationship in the mainline games is… nonexistent. However, Steven and Cynthia share similar interests that being geology and archeology. That’s it. The whole crux of the trio is that they’re powerful trainers who got to Champion level and help you defeat the evil team. That’s it.

Now another principle in what I’m going to call “Alt/Skin Law in Video Games” is the designs. Do they have a common theme? Do they have some unique details that sets each design apart? Does each design carry the essence of each character as individuals and as a whole group?

The arc suits DO fit the principle. Do they look good? Not really. I had just played Xenoblade Chronicles and when I saw arc suit Cynthia, I mistook her for Mythra. I’m not kidding. I wish they made all the clothes white. It’s annoying it doesn’t. Lance with a white cape would look good. The orange could change to purple or gold to match Arceus. The underside would be a light grey. Steven’s design is weird. Why aren’t the pants white? Make the pants white. It’s so annoying. His original color palette is just perfect. Just invert the black. Simple as that. Anyway, back to Cynthia, why are the hair accessories green? Make them whatever color Cynthia is supposed to represent for the Arceus form. I get Lance is dragon. That’s just common sense. Steven Stone being steel Arceus makes sense too. Cynthia? Make her ??? type or Stellar type. Makes sense. She isn’t a type specialist, or a triple type specialist in Steven’s case (which leads me into a head cannon I just thought of just now). This also helps with the foreshadowing with Volo and the champions.

Anyways, that’s all. I know I said Wally was gonna be soon, which he will, but it that takes time because he’s my favorite rival, and this doesn’t take as much time for me

I've managed to beat up the train blorbos in the pasio subway extreme battles. Here's the ending cutscene that plays out for those who couldn't make it this far:

Ingo and Emmet I love you very much but I'm going to have to beat you with hammers for the nonsense you just put me through

youd think volo would be a little bit more subtle with his manipulation in pokemas however i guess choosing N was a safe bet LOL

[claitea]

hi guys hope your arc suit n pulls did not go as badly as mine BISHRJRHUF

[the-dragon-master-lover]

Ummm, I know that a day ago I said everything I didn't like about Lance's Arc suit

Maybe I already looked at it well and it's not so bad after all

I needed to draw it to at least tolerate it, okay?

I regret to say it tasteless, horrible, simple, and everything I said

Well, not so much, I may like it more than before but that doesn't mean they could have done better

I put my own details on it to at least want it a little more

And again Lance's Sygna suit with origin giratina that I made yesterday so I don't have to read my hateful pastoral towards the arc suits

That's all, bye 😸

Game Freak created Sword and Shield and has been shilling Leon as a champion and a trainer to anyone within earshot ever since, and I'm begging them to please stop trying to artificially remake Cynthia, he'll never be her, he'll never be famous
