I have been dreading this update for such a long time as a hunter of both Tornadus and Thundurus. I have a Tornadus Melan, but I don't have Thundurus Melan yet, though my chain is high up there that it can happen at any point so it still feels like it counts for me to share my input since I have put a lot of money into both of them. I am happy that they at least kept the ominous look to the melan Tornadus, that's half the reason I hunted that 'mon to begin with, and I do like the base body colour for him, but... I'm not keen on Therian Tornadus Melan. I don't mind my Tornadus Melan being not Therian and I'm not so bothered with that one as much since the part that's off putting to me isn't as prominent to me in that form, but... Did he really have to have dark green with the tail and spots when the body base is brownish/maroonish/whatever that shade is called? ;v; It's really not a melan that I'm happy to have spent so much money on... I have gotten 1400+ Fujin's Lamps, on average I buy them at 20ZC per (Maybe 200 of them at 15/10ZC) so overall? 26,000ZC give or take. This change really kicks me in the stomach. I'm just not sure why there's such a colour contrast with Tornadus, while both Thundurus and Landorus's second colour on top of base colour aren't unpleasant to look at. :/ (Upon reflection, I guess base Tornadus does have an unpleasant Green/Purple combo as is for regular, but the melan didn't follow that formula before so now it does? Makes me a little sad x'D) (I haven't seen Thundurus Melan for Therian, but personally the green body is fine for me, and the blue spots are faint enough for me to not really have an opinion on that one) Overall, as an owner of Tornadus Melan, I would really, really love if there was some sort of reconsideration for the colours and since I feel that those shades don't mix together too well on Tornadus imo.. x'c On a quick note, Thundurus Albino is pretty neat and doesn't look bad at all for a green albino c: And editing to that, I've now seen the Therian Thundurus and while I don't usually like blue/green combos, I actually don't mind the melan. I do find the choice of green a bit strange when Thundurus is electric and blue/purple/yellow are more the colours that relate to electric, but I overall don't mind the design despite that. But I won't lie, it sort of feels like Thundurus, Tornadus and Landorus colours are swapped from what you'd expect from one another. I'd have thought Tornadus would be the green base while Thundurus would have what Landorus has and Landorus would have what Tornadus has (to some degree), colours seem reverse to their element expectations.
