Legendary Pokemon Discussion Thread [Read First Post]

[R_N]

The only part of the Regi legend [that wasn't the usual "We feared the pokemon, we loved the pokemon, etc etc"] was that Regigias made the other 3 and in some myths moved continents
Not that the Snowpoint Regigigas, specifically, was the one that spread the other Regi all over.

But regardless of that: the Snowpoint gigas was never specified to just make 3 regi. Seal them across regions, seal them in rooms that need the gigas, seal them in puzzles, but multiples are possible.
Or the people could have also made more regi. They are just golems




Besides, it's Twist Mountain's new basement, right? Going off that I bet there's multiple gigas deep under the earth.

That does make sense actually, if they would dig down across the PokeEarth I'm sure they would find hibernating Gigas. We know that multiple Golems are possible, I'm sort of seeing them like Goletts and Golurks right now, designed for protecting and guarding. I guess the reason some of us see the Snowpoint Gigas as the one who got the Regis sent to Hoehn is because before BW2 it was really the only one we knew.

All of this makes me even more wanting to know more about the PokePast. Did each region have its own Gigas and its own set of Regis to protect them? How many Gigas are under the Earth yet to be uncovered? Are there chambers in each region containing their own set of Regis? So many questions...

EDIT: The ironic part of the whole Regi thing is the fact that you need three Regis to unseal Gigas but in some regions (Sinnoh) you need a Gigas to unseal the Regis. Honestly I think some cultures were more scared of their Regis due to how strangely they're sealed and awakened. Unovan Regis need specific, hard to get keys to unlock their chambers. Sinnoh Regis need a Gigas to unlock them, a sort of safety mechanism, Gigas to unlock Regis but Regis to unlock Gigas. Hoehn Regis are the strangest, dive into an underwater chamber in a rapidy part of a water route, while having a Wailord and Relicanth in specific spots in your party then use a move to get to another chamber that makes the actual Regi chambers accesible but still need specific actions to take place in order for the whole chamber to open.

Off topic:
Am I the only one who's noticed striking similarities between G3 & G5 starters?
Emboar + Blaziken = Farm Animals, same typing

Blaziken-line based on chickens, Emboar-line based on pigs, no connection. Typing is just a coincidence.

Your answer:

All known Fire-type Starters are based on the Chinese Zodiac: Charmander represents the Dragon, Cyndaquil represents the Rat, Torchic represents the Rooster, Chimchar represents the Monkey, and Tepig represents the Pig.

You guys need more Chinese culture, seriously. First taoism, now the zodiac...

That is highly unlikely. There cant be another OD.

Please tell me precisely why, mr. Masuda.

Another Fire Starter tidbit, the last 2 were based on Journey to the West Characters, thus in turn we can guess that 6th Gen will have a Water/Fighting Kappa.

We could also get a buffalo fire starter to represent the demon king that was good friends with Sun Wukong or a grass/normal monk-like starter for Xuanzang or a white water/flying dragon for Yulong, but then again everyone forgets about the poor guy.

Please tell me precisely why, mr. Masuda.

Based on the story surrounding the Tao trio, there should only be one of each member since there's only one OD that's referred to.

Sorry that Americans don't know every little things about Asian cultures, we never really have a need to learn about it. And please drop the OD talk, we've dropped that.

THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING IT TO HIM. The OD talk is getting rally old. And yes. The story says that there was only one...

 

[Krainz]

The story says there was one, not only one.

Ok all this shiny lock talk and OD talk is boring me. Let's change the topic. Let's talk about the Regis:
We've seen evidence of multiple Regis, the Hoehn Set, the Sinnoh Set, and now the Unovan Set. But Regigigas is stumping me. Before the Sinnoh Set was released we had all heard the nice little legend about the Regi separation, 'Regigigas dragged all the continents into place and the Regis were made(?) and once Regigigas lost his use for them (or Regigig was getting too powerful) and the three Regis were sealed away in a distant region (Hoehn) while Regigig was sealed in Snowpoint Temple' But now we have two more sets of Regis and now a new Regigig.

Does this mean that more than one Regigig exists? If so, that breaks its legend. But if there was more than one I honestly would love to see/hear more about the history of the whole Pokemon world, Regi guardians, Creation, Unova 3,000 years before, etc. because all we really know about now is little tidbits we hear. I want more, much more.

Eh, I personally don't believe the "Gigas moved the continents" myth. It may have had some relative equivalent that the people of the time simply blew out of proportion, but to me it just seems absurd. Besides, if the existence of multiple Regigigas isn't already proven by having one in Sinnoh and one in Unova, then it's certainly broken by having two in Sinnoh (one in the Temple and one on Palmer's team).

I'd say the legend is just a bit of colorful backstory the added to demonstrate how ancient people perceived Regigigas' strength. (And why they would have a reason to fear it.)

The story says there was one, not only one.

Bingo; Krainz gets it.

I can't wait to use the new form of Thundurus in wi-fi and online battles. He's going to absolutely crush everyone .

 

[Reshiram44]

One was pretty much what I meant. The story states that there was one OD and basically implies that there weren't anymore. Now I'm finished discussing the OD. Let's get a move on.

 

[Dragalge]

Yes please, all this OD talk is really getting on my nerves, not being rude or anything but can we please end this.

 

[Reshiram44]

Yes. And I'll end it now. Does anyone think that White Kyurem or Black Kyurem will make any kind of cameo in the anime? Like how Zekrom did on the first episode?

 

[Adam 1475]

That is highly unlikely. There cant be another OD. Plus. GF never sticks with the same theme. Your not even supposed to speculate on G6 on this thread.

Gee, someone takes everything straight to the head, don't they?
I was joking.

You know, I really would like to know the back story behind the Kami trio. They were 3 Animals, then they turned into 3 Genies..

 

[GoldCyndaquil]

Yes. And I'll end it now. Does anyone think that White Kyurem or Black Kyurem will make any kind of cameo in the anime? Like how Zekrom did on the first episode?

I'm still waiting to see Reshiram. But yes, I do think they might make an appearance, albeit along with Team Plasma since the anime is HIGHLY lacking in Team Plasma.

 

[Reshiram44]

My apologies to you.My guess is that Team Plasma or someone else did something to them that transformed them and made them less powerful or something.

 

[Endolise]

I highly doubt that Team Plasma has anything to do with the Kami Trio. If they did, I'm sure we'd have heard about it by now. What's likely the case is that their Incarnate Formes represent gods as they appear in an ethereal plane (i.e. heaven) while their Therian Formes represent their avatars; the forms that gods use to walk the earth.

 

[Taodragon]

If they go by the same methods they used in the previous series, then probably not since neither Rayquaza or Giratina appeared in the Aqua/Magma and Galactic arcs. Also, not only is there a notable lack of Team Plasma in the anime so far, but it seems like Team Rocket's going to take the spotlight from them if the poster's anything to go by so I'm starting to doubt that they'll ever appear.

Yeah, even if Zekrom or Reshiram appear in the anime I doubt they will have anything to do with Team Plasma since they had little to next to no appearance in the anime thus far. C'mon anime prove me wrong.
