Gen 9 Legendaries - Discussion/Speculation Thread

[Wulava]

Discuss the new Legendary Pokemon here.
Any discussion on non-Gen 9 Legendary Pokemon should be done on the Gen 9 Pokedex Thread.

 

[Psajdak]

Okay, they look really cool.

 

[Ultra Beast Lover]

I like the Violet legend.

 

[Wulava]

And here I was expecting a sentient orange and grape.
I really like the Violet one, Miraidon. Scarlet one is Koraidon.

 

[Bus]

Man...I'm going with Scarlet because I like the sound of the color (and the color itself) better, but Violet's Legend looks really cool. I think the motorcycle tire sticks out a bit too much on Scarlet's legend.

Honestly my favourite legendary designs ever. Colours are damn good and the contrast between them looks insanely good to me, a lot of details etc. Now please have good typings.

"Koraidon" might be based on "古来" (Korai), meaning
"from time immemorial; ancient; time-honoured; time-honored"

While, "Miraidon" might be based on "未来" (Mirai), meaning "future; future existence; world beyond the grave; the world to come"

99.99% Dragon/Fighting and Dragon/Electric as the most popular leak.

Past and Future tenses. I reckon the professors give a real hint to the aims of the game and the legendaries - they match the legendaries in terms of their clothing and colours used. One looks like a focus on palaeontology and the other a focus on technological development. It's like Jurassic Park VS Star Trek in Pokemon form and I am all here for that.

 

[Shneak]

I'm not really feeling these legendaries yet and I think it's because they're obviously going to transform into vehicles.

 

[Noy]

something about ice at the end of the trailer... is the 3rd legendary, ice type? Can it ... "Freeze Time" ...

 

[Wulava]

They look like stylish motorbikes. Can't wait to ride them.
I love both designs but I'm a Miraidon fan right now.

 

[lolipiece]

...So, Koraidon has long antennae/horns that look like handlebars and what appears to be a tire in its chest. Miraidon has jet boosters for legs. Are...are they going to fuse into some kind of bike?

 

[Dragneelo]

I wonder how the anime will portray them

 

[Lucario At Service]

Rather than Ice, it looked like Mirror or Crystal.
Maybe 3rd one is supposed to represent the Present, while Reflecting both Past & Future.

 

[SoraFan23]

Well I seen the new trailer and (sigh) I am feeling mixed on it. On hand it does look better than the last trailer with the graphics, there are some new Pokémon that I haven't seen before, and of course it has that Legends Arceus feel to it so I know for a fact its going to be open world, but still part of me is still worried that they are going back to their routes of Pokémon. I still have no idea what the story is and if there is a new evil team we have to deal with and if we are going back to fighting gym leaders and becoming champion yet again.

I could be wrong, and I hope I'm wrong so I am still giving this game the benefit of the doubt that it can be better than Sword and Shield. The new legendries look pretty cool and its coming out by November 18, 2022 (I wont be surprised if it gets delayed though)

 

[Pokemon Power]

OK, since Koraidon seems to represent the past, and Miraidon represents the future, I'm thinking that the third member of the trio will represent the present in some way.

 

[Golden_Arcanine]

OK, since Koraidon seems to represent the past, and Miraidon represents the future, I'm thinking that the third member of the trio will represent the present in some way.

So the question is does the last scene with the PokeBall represent it? Either Ice or Steel?

 

[TRNRLogan]

Honestly don't like the designs. To me they're trying too hard to look cool.

 

[Twilight-Kun]

Pretty sure it's related to the regional gimmick, since there's a crystal in the japanese logo
