5th Gen Victini, Zekrom and Reshiram Discussion Thread

[Oblivíon1]

I like the looks of the white one, more so than the black one.

 

[Swinoob]

Are you sure these are real? That checkerboard pattern there looks suspiciously like the background of Adobe Photoshop. Hmmmm...

Edit: We're never going to get a pure Flying Type... and especially not on Reshiram. it's kind of a tradition for Flying types to be dual typed, and after ten years, a pure Flying type just wouldn't feel right.

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

Not a fan of these, to be honest. They look cool, but they don't look like Pokémon

 

[Bloothump]

After what Pokebeach posted earlier this morning, I'm quite convinced that there just might be a Light type... the name Reshiram has a direct connection to Light, but relating to the time of day, and Zekron with darkness and night. That, and the fact that they'd reveal the legendary Pokemon without giving us their types...

Also, I feel like these legendary Pokemon are the epitome of Darkness and Light... and Zekron's special move will be called Black Hole, and Reshiram will have White Out

Hmmm. However, I refuse to beleive that there is no connection to naturalism and industrialism between the two of these pokemon, considering their tails. So maybe besides the night/day thing, we consider day to be beginning and night to be the end? I don't know.

Well, Alice in Wonderland on the DS makes use of the DSi camera !
And the TWL thing would probably be something minor, not revolving around the legendaries. GB Printer anyone ?
And, I, too start loving Reshiram more. Zekrom is just badass, while Reshiram is elegant ( :P ). Cresselia/Darkrai ANYONE ??? ;)

 

[Dragonika]

They both luck totally epic but i thought cresselia was to do with light and darkrai was to do with darkness who cares anyways these legendaries luck awsome im defonatley getting both of them :D

You OBVIOUSLY have not visited www.pokemon.com.

Oh, and it's 14 years.

The light/darkness thing is pure speculation right now, nothing is really known about them.

Cresselia represents the crescent moon and good dreams, while Darkrai represents the new moon and nightmares.

I am pleased with them both overall. I have a hard time picking which one I like more though.

There are aspects of both of them that bug me. I don't like Zekrom's tail, and some of Reshiram's anatomy (mostly in the leg area) just looks...akward.

I'm getting Black Version regardless. My Love is getting white, so we can trade legendaries if we want. Since I have equal amounts of like and pet-peeves for both of them, I'll find a way to trade for the one I don't have.

And there are PLENTY of different variations of heaven and hell OUTSIDE of Christianity you know. The games are Japanese.

Yes, they are Japanese. Shintoism and Buddhism don't have a concept of heaven and hell. They believe that you will be reincarnated due to your karma until you live such a good life that you are liberated from the endless cycle of reincarnation (considered a curse) and join a universal consciousness. So I don't think we'll see heaven and hell as a theme in these games.

Also, there is already a thread discussing new types, including a light type, and there are lots of cool things written on it. Rather than debating it here, why not read what's been written and take the debate over there.

Actually, there is a Buddhist hell. It's not the same as the Christian hell, but it's close enough. And as another side note, most Japanese people aren't religious in any kind of serious way. There's really no reason for them to associate their games with such heavily religious themes. They've sort of skirted the topic with Pokemon like Houndoom, but that's more of a generic bad-dog type than a hell-beast and I don't see them going at all closer than that.

THESE LOOK AWESOME!!!! XDDD im not filled with nostalgia

I think these legends look amazing, they are well designed. And unoriginal legends? wtf? :)

I totally agree. They look like what I imagine a legendary pokemon should look like. Like something totally strange and yet something that makes sense since it's a mythical being. Yeah, most pokemon are based on animals, but c'mon, Pikachu is the biggest mouse I've ever seen, or even Raticate too is a little bit far-fetched to be based on a rat. Those things are gigantic compared to real world rodents. So what then? That's okay to have, but Reshiram and Zekrom don't look like real pokemon? C'mon people, pokemon is fictional so anything is in the realm of possibility.

And as for what appears to be Reshiram's crotch, usually legendaries are genderless. So it's not really like it's a boy or anything. Excepting the case of Manaphy/Phione (which seems more like how donkeys mating with horses produces sterile mules), legendaries lack the ability to reproduce because they're genderless. So I doubt it's supposed to be some kind of reproductive organ. Anyway I love the new pokemon, and it makes me really excited about the new games.

 

[cormac]

I like 'em, but they seem to take pokemon abit to seriously for me.

 

[HunterX101]

Cant wait to see the Sprites.

 

[Bluerang1]

I strongly hope Ligth types aren't created, but it seems they may be, starting with Reshiram. I don't see why, however, a Psychic can't control day?

Thanks you Lati@s for being Psychic/Dragon, making that typing for Reshiram seem unlikely. Then again, they weren't "main" Legends.

 

[Haza]

I wouldn't mind if Reshiram was made the only Light-Type...

 

[MegaKuriboh]

These are freakn epic!
Zekrom is wayyy cooler so I guess I'm getting white first but I want Black later too cause the white one s awesome as well

 

[Chickenbits]

Holy crap the black one looks like some kind of mecha robot.... which is exactly what I want in a pokemon <3

 

[Haza]

I have a feeling that Zekrom was created by some organization to destroy Reshiram...

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

I really like these. I think I prefer the white one, Reshiram.
