Discussion More Ascendance speculation
Alright, first we must put on our Dragonite foil hats as we currently have nothing but our own speculations. I know people have brought up the Ascendance color scheme and related that to magnetism before, but with the recent TGS demo being confirmed to have a (Returning Elder Dragon) I’ve really been racking my brain around who this challenging returning elder could be.
I know it sounds like a long shot to immediately call it out as being Rukodiora, but the more I think of it, the less any other elder makes sense to me.
I don’t feel like we’ll be seeing Kushala or Lao as they’ve already been confirmed in the trailer, and I don’t think they’d leave it till the day before the TGS demo to reveal who it will be if we already know they’re there.
I don’t think it’ll be any new Gen 5 elders either, as having any of them be the “challenging quest” for this brand new expansion just feels kind of weird? I don’t know.
The next MOST likely I could see would be Shagaru Magala as Wilds has basically been a soft MH4 part 2, and I could definitely see Shaggy popping in to be a good challenger (9 star gore is still pretty scary on his own)
I could also see it being Valstrax maybe, but anyway let me know what you guys think about the (Returning Elder Dragon)
I was going to go further in depth why I don’t think it could be Teostra/Lunastra/Chameleos, but I think I’d end up making an essay, and I’ll leave some discussion for the rest of you.
