reshiram doesnt look like blue eyes white dragon it just has the same body color and eye color and it has a wolfish head. Zekrom is kinda mechanical so it looks like everyone is calling digimon on it, and zekrom has red eyes and is black like red eyes black dragon

 

[Kariachi]

I think you're confused. I don't see how the white Dragon would be Dark and the black Dragon would be Ice. Zekrom is the White Version mascot; the black one. Reshiram is the Black Version mascot; the white one.

I know which is which. Reshi just looks like he'll have the dark-type attitude. The 'I'm more cunning and a dirtier fighter than you.'-ness that I associate with most dark-types.

On Zekro, ever heard of black ice? A layer of ice thick enough not to break yet thin enough so that you don't know it's on the road until two trees and a deer have gone through your windshield? I'm thinking that. And it fits, cause who expects ice on Zekro?

I can definitely see your point! I didn't think of that, but yes it does seem fitting. I just don't think I ever made that connection, as Palkia was never a primarily 'water' type - he didn't learn that many water moves, or perhaps I never levelled mine up to see that.

lol you have seen the light!

It can learn many water moves, ie aqua tail, hydro pump, surf, waterfall, whirlpool, water pulse, water gun, etc...

It's a pretty good water poke when you think about it.

I'm a little unhappy that they're once again dragon types, but meh. Makes sense.

My guesses? Psychic or Flying/Dragon and Dark or Steel/Dragon.

 

[smashbro77]

I'm really ****** that the legendaries are dragon cuz the last ones were, and rayquaza and latias and latios.
For the second types i think the white will be psychic and the other one dark or steel.
O and I definately agree with the yin yang thing now cuz the black legend is for white and vice versa

I will never understand where this idea is coming from--I've seen it mentioned a number of times already. Reshiram looks fierce, but I don't see anything evil about it. I think it's expression was given to cancel out the pureness of it's body--to make it look less angelic. But I don't think that means it's evil or dark or anything like that.

On Zekro, ever heard of black ice? A layer of ice thick enough not to break yet thin enough so that you don't know it's on the road until two trees and a deer have gone through your windshield? I'm thinking that. And it fits, cause who expects ice on Zekro?

I dunno. Unlike the idea for Reshiram being evil, I see where this idea is coming from. But nothing in it's design screams "Ice-type". If it had icicles on it or something similar that gave it away, I'd buy it.

But it looks mechanical and more armor-covered than ice-covered. Nice idea, though--I think black ice a good idea for a Ice/Dark type, or something similar.

Im hoping for Normal Dragon for Reshi and Dark Dragon for Zek. Im definetely choosing the white version since that was going to be the version i was going to choose to begin with but now that zekrom is its legendary just made it 100% better. Im gonna buy myself a DS again and wait for these games! Loving it so far its beating 4th gen by a mile!!

Back with my controlled raging,
I do believe that these legendaries don't have the same feel that Dialga & Palkia gave us. I mean, Dialga & Palkia control time & space. There's nothing more epic then that (unless, you know, Zekrom controls night & the moon and Reshiram controls Day & The sun. Even then, Game Freak will probably go against our expectations)

When the starters came out, I was surprised. I believed that they were poorly designed. However, they've kind of grown on me. And God knows we can already predict Pokabu's evolution line - they made it too obvious.

Reshiram & Zekrom don't look like Dragons to me. Not at all. I couldn't really imagine them being dragons. It'd be repetitive, seeing as how Dialga & Palkia were Dragons, as well as Giratina. If they do end up being dragons, I'm going to lul at Game Freak for being unoriginal.

Right now, I'm just hoping that they have legendary pokemon based off constellations - either the Chinese constellations or the Zodiac.

 

[Bubblewrap]

There's a point... Lati@s and Rayquaza were Dragon/Psychic and Dragon/Flying respectively. I wouldn't think that these two were either of them? I'm then going to guess dark and ice.

 

[Charmageddon]

Time is structured and incredibly durable not unlike steel.

Untrue! Time is like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.

 

[iLoveDratinis]

i like dragons. there arent as many dragons in the game as everything else and having a good dragon legend is good dragons are supposed to be rare, so why not?

They're confirmed to be Dragons. I don't see where you're getting that they're unoriginal, though. We have never seen anything like these guys.

That actually makes perfect sense, as ice is typically associated with white, and dark with black. So, those typings would go perfectly with the whole opposites theme that they're going for.

Also, I'm not really a fan of Yugi-Oh, but when people mentioned the blue eyes white dragon, I got curious and looked it up. They really do look alike, (not that I dislike them though...)

lol wha..? Can I have what you're smoking?

I see Ram as either Psychic/Dragon or Normal/Dragon. I see ROM as either Dragon/Steel or Dragon/Fighting.

 

[Raikia]

I don't mean unoriginal in design.Their design is completely original & strays from the normal Dragons we have seen.
I felt that the Dragon type on these legendaries would be repetitive; I mean, we just had a Dragon trio & now Game Freak feels they can hop back on that train.

 

[SharpedoSteve]

I really love Rom, his design and look is awesome, not too keen on Ram really there is just something about it i'm not too sure about though it is designed well.

As for typing i would say for Rom either Dragon/Dark or Dragon/Steel and for Ram Dragon/Flying or (thinking outside the box here) Dragon/Fire (only because, to me, his tail looks like an old fashioned torch and bracket with the whispy part being the flame)

Previously i wanted the Black version, but after these pokemon were released i'm going to go for White.... Zekrom is just WOW quickly becomming one of my fave looking pokemon ever tbh.

 

[iLoveDratinis]

they look like a dragon from that one anime.. dragon drive or something..

 

[Bubblewrap]

I think Reshiram looks more feathery than that dragon. The one you posted looks armour plated.

 

[Grei]

Untrue! Time is like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.

Not really. Hypothetically speaking, time should be like steel. Time doesn't change. The spaces between two seconds never changes. It's all very structured and uniform, and steel coincides with that strict structure.

Water, which flows and can take different shapes depending on it's surroundings, is a lot like space.

Also, I'm not really a fan of Yugi-Oh, but when people mentioned the blue eyes white dragon, I got curious and looked it up. They really do look alike!

No, they really don't. The only similarity is that Reshiram has blue eyes and is a white dragon, but similarities seriously stops right there.

Actually time is very stable. Think about it, if something has already happened once, can it really happen again differently? Once it has happened, it's happened. There's no changing that. Alas, Pokemon doesn't stick to these rules...
