Sword dog looks cool, shield dog not so much. Both of them look very overcomplicated though.

Hence the Chinese word for contradiction being made up of the characters for 'spear' and 'shield'. The Japanese word is derived from the Chinese one, as Wiktionary says.
. The Sword one actually looks cool but for the fact it has a sword in its mouth...who thought that was a good idea?
Pretty sure the concept goes beyond just the titles of the games. Otherwise, Groudon and Kyogre would be based around rocks, and Ho-Oh and Lugia would be based around metals.the whole thing is so damn forced. They should have just renamed their games.
If "unstoppable" means its movement cannot be altered by outside forces, and "immovable" means its position cannot be influenced by outside forces -- (note the similar phrasing) -- then the force must pass through the object unaffected, while the object remains in place unaffected by said force (in other words, each is oblivious to the other). Aren't contradictions fun? (To be fair, the Chinese story is a little more specific in its terms used.) There's also the Greek legend about -- what was it, a dog that always caught its quarry versus a fox that could never be caught?To use a more familiar phrase, what will happen when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?
I actually like that. Just the way they interacted with each other in those few seconds showed that they are rivals but friends.Not terribly fond of them looking like twins. But I am relieved that they look like actual wolves and not dogs.
Koromaru from Persona 3 could equip knives, too.Four-legged animal characters using swords in their mouths has been a thing in popular culture, with Sif from Dark Souls, Amaterasu from Okami, and (albeit a knife, but still) Repede from Tales of Vesperia being popular examples of that. Zacian could be taking cues from those type of examples and it does still work for the direction they're going for with these Pokémon, so I don't think it's that much of an issue for it to wield a sword.
