Hey idk if anyone else on this website is like, a Pokémon person but like

Do you ever think about how in Zoroark Master of Illusion, that Zorua and Zoroark were probably the first to step foot in Sinnoh since their ancestors had been hunted to extinction in ancient times?

Do you ever think about how Zoroark are capable of human speech? Do you think the Zoroark in Hisui begged for the humans not to kill them and their babies?

Do you ever think about how if a Hisuian Zoroark has an egg, it’s a regular living Zorua, which means all the Hisuian Zorua are…

Damn Game Freak

Next in our Pokémon movie review series, we talk about the thirteenth movie, Zoroark: Master of Illusions. It's not really so much about Zoroark though. It's about a man who uses vision powers to make money at the stock market. This... is actually kind of an awesome premise.

Hi, you're a pokemon professor can you tell me anything interesting about zoruas please and thank you 😊

@olivias-antics

Zoruas are capable of taking on the appearance of other Pokémon and even humans, but it's not the same as changing their own body structure like a Ditto can.

The Zoroark line has the ability to cast illusions. Illusions are when you see something a certain way that isn't quite what it is. Think about stage magic - those tricks are also illusions. They rely on what the audience CAN'T see to make it look like magic.

That said: Zorua's illusions aren't quite changing themselves, and more changing how you see them. They're capable of this because they have some innate psychic ability that can alter the perception of people around them.

As they grow and eventually evolve, this ability becomes more refined and powerful, and Zoroark illusion abilities can reach beyond altering how you see them: they can use their illusion abilities to alter your perception of your surroundings as well. This ability is often used in the wild to lead intruders away from their territories. Though, sometimes they can get a little silly with it and play a few tricks on people, too!

They don't often use it for malicious purpose, save for when they feel like they or their packs are threatened. They are VERY protective.

One other thing I heard from a friend of mine, who is interested in history: The Hisuian Zoroark line from centuries ago were believed to be the spirits of deceased humans that were banished from their settlements, seeking out vengeance on those who banished them. I've yet to find any scientific backing on this in any records about them, so it could very well be a myth brought on by circumstance. That may be an infodump for another post, though.

Every time I watch Pokemon movie reviews I just know which of my favorite movies are getting the recognition they deserve and which are getting SLAMMED lol

This is very real I promise

"Oh, your kind can transform into any pokemon, right?" Genji says as he approaches the mew. He seems quite curious. Fascinated in fact by the rare pokemon of myth, though he tries to keep his reserved composure. "I-I can do that too. Though it is but an illusion. What is it like? Being any pokemon. But, real?"

“Honestly I like your version so much more, you can weave illusions strong enough to move forests and protect yourself. Us Mew can’t do that, we can only make our bodies different.”
