This genration will rock!!

Loved the legendaries!!!


I just hope there is no more legendaries!!

Sadly there will be at least four more; one to act as a peacekeeper between zecrom and reshiram, a legendary trio and another to give away at an event (though with 1 giveaway in GII, two in GIII and three in GIV, only one event pokemon is unlikely...)

 

[halloweenghost]

Yes, I know, but what's the theme of these legendaries otherwise? Groudon and Kyogre represent the land and sea, and Dialga and Palkia represent time and space, so what comes next?

noone knows yet.. but alot think it maybe Technology and nature..

I've noticed a lot of females seem to prefer Reshiram over Zekrom, whereas more of the male populous are for Zekrom versus Reshiram. Interesting. I don't think I've seen such a "division" in tastes since Mewtwo and Mew. Was that a purposeful move on GAME FREAK's part? I don't see it being completely coincidental... but, at the same time, I don't see it being an elaborate ploy. That's just giving too much credit to them. But, if they could make Mewtwo and Mew as polar opposites, I guess it's not completely illogical...

They are yin-yang. That has been pretty obvious this whole time. Especially since the white one is the mascot for black and the black one is the mascot for white. Yes it was purposeful.

Reshiram is yin. Yin is usually characterized as slow, soft, insubstantial, diffuse, cold, wet, and tranquil. They are generally associated with femininity, birth and generation, and with the night.

Zekrom is Yang. Yang, by contrast, is characterized as fast, hard, solid, dry, focused, hot, and aggressive. They are associated with masculinity and with the daytime

You understand the day is light and the night is dark, right?

 

[bel9]

You understand the day is light and the night is dark, right?

Oh hurdy hurr hurr. Because day and night have EVERYTHING to do with it right?
You do realize that Reshiram is more feminine in appearance and the reshi has been translated to sage or whatever. People have been saying on this all day that it is expected to be the less physical of the two.
Then on the other hand Zekrom seems more masculine and aggressive. People expect this to be the more physical of the two.

All of these theories are fascinating, but I can't see why the tail would look like a drill.

I didn't say anything about the others, though. I'm talking about dark being with night and light with day.

Okay and your point being...? I don't think they want time specific legendaries. But I think that they used the concepts of yin and yang for aesthetic purposes.

Zekrom is with White [day]
Reshiram is with Black [night]

:/

 

[ForteAnly]

Which starter r u guys goin to choose and why???and what version??

I will be choosing the grass starter for either Black or White. The reason for this because i'm still not fond of the other starters specially the water starter.

 

[Icay4321]

Reshiram almost looks like a ghost, cause it's got that wispy look, maybe like a cloud, too.

 

[(Well) Then]

The General Idea of "Light" I can already be seen in the type "Psychic".

We already have Legendaries based on Time (Dialga & Celebi), and though we don't have ones for time of day, I think the Sun takes care of daytime and the absence of the Sun's light hitting an area of the planet takes care of Night time.

White & Black and their legendaries... Looks pretty Yin-Yang or whatever to me.

 

[Avenger 77]

The speculated region for black and white has black and white castles, so could this have something to do with the legendaries?

 

[Icay4321]

can anyone else see r&z on like the pedestal on the spear pillar in super smash bros.?

 

[Pokexplosion]

I don't care what other people say, if you ask me, these are damn epic! The only pokemon that look cooler than these are Mewtwo, Darkrai and Lugia.
Is it just me, or does eshiram look a lot more of a God pokemon than Arceus does? Zekrom looks pretty cool, but I prefer Reshiram.

I'm saying that the white=night/black=day info may not be right. Unless the Chinese were just off the wall when that concept was created, cause in all the dark/light refernces I've seen dark in night.

 

[ceustace3]

Which starter r u guys goin to choose and why???and what version??

i will choose the fire one because they are usually sweepers, and there arent any good fire types except the previous fire starters and heatran (unless this generation brings good ones).

light and psychic are two different topics. you can't compare the two.

 

[Avenger 77]

It's too bad that not much info was reveiled about the legendaries.......

All we can do now is speculate about what they are and what they symbolise............
