A different Nintendo game has not one, but two auditory illusions. Super Mario 64's endless stairs music sounds like an infinitely increasing pitch, when it actually just messes with your brain's ability to fill in gaps in pitch when multiple frequencies play at once. Likewise, the line "It's a me Mario" was chosen because while English speakers know the real voice line, a Japanese speaker will hear it and think it's "itsumi Mario". Itsumi is a Japanese greeting. It was confirmed that the line is in fact "It's a me Mario" but the illusion still works if you are a Japanese speaker who didn't already know the line.
@bluemew22
And today you can just say it's a statue of "Almighty Sinnoh"
@mistakesweremade5786
For those wondering, this is a reupload because the original got bot set to made for kids and all the comments were deleted.
@DrPokemon2001
Is the statue palkia or dialga? The correct answer is yes.
@Megatron-m5j
MandJTV actually posted that exact recolor.
@CaedesMeaSign
I always thought this was super neat
@jodygrottino8257
Honestly I've always known it was supposed to be a fusion of the two because of the confusion of the ancient people that made it had about the legendary. It's stated in the original games as well that the ancients were confused, it's not just an LPA thing. I've never noticed the fact that it could be one sprite for 2 Pokémon.
@cloudtem
I thought you were going to talk about the buff bidoof trees
@miguelbianchi968
I always saw it as Dialga. Even the back feet are apparently behind the front ones in the pixel art, without giving any hint that they could be on top.
@OranIsGone
It makes sense that the statue depicts a fused together Dialga and Palkia considering a major part of Legends: Arceus is the diamond and pearl clans fighting over "Great Hisui" and whether it is the god of time or space. The legends just got mixed up and through the years the two gods became one in the minds of the people. Perhaps the statue was made to reference the old belief of one deity with both aspects of the duo, considering it had to be made after the clans learned the truth that Hisui is two separate deities. Obviously, not in the minds of the creators of D/P, but the idea could have been created for PL:A as a nod to the original statue (maybe even the manga depiction) and it was stylized as such in the remake to allude to the plot point in the Legends game.
@Navycrewposter
The bdsp version of the statue really looked like a cool fusion between the two. It woulda been cool if you could fuse the two together. After all fused legendarys do exist. Kyrem fuses with zekrom and reshiram, necrozma fuses with solgalao and lunala. And calyrex fuses with glastier and spectier (not a full fuse but it requires putting two pokemon together to make shadow rider or frost rider calyrex)
@brandonstonge7513
I remember it as a kid and was always so confused about it as well 😂 and to add I feel like I remember there being a placard or an npc you could interact with and would say something like “a legendary being capable of distorting the entire world” or something along those lines lmaooo so basically purposely vague in order to give you no answer
@sciartion
This connects with PLA because the two clans thought that their divinity was the true divinity. All that time there were two "gods" but they thought there was one, which talks about perception just like when you perceive the statue depending on your version of the game.
@Imikdota
I honestly dont see palkia in this, the recolor just looks like an albino dialga
@TheBroly2020
I never thought it looked like any of them more like a fusion
@djhoopafowareal444
Good to see mandjtvs tweet again-
@Acruxmg
It's like the kyurem. A mix of both you can see what elements are from which legendary
@Manofstupidity7800
Rare bdsp moment where they actually used the budget and it would have turned out well if it was a real faithful remake with sprites
@INikeAir
That is crazily impressive
