That's stupid. Not only did the poster below you explain that topaz is often considered yellow (the gem was yellow in "Hey You, Pikachu!"), but topaz is a stone. Black and white are, generally speaking, colors. We don't have Gold, Silver, and Purple versions, nor Red, Blue, and Jade. Pokemon keeps a theme within the generations. I just want to slap everybody who says "it's going to be chrome! Or titanium! Maybe prism! Or even obsidian!" The third pair will be a basic color. The question is what color. I'm saying Gray/Grey, as gray in a primary sense is thought of as the blending of black and white. But we may be surprised. I also suspect Clear could be a possibility, as Wuji is the absence of everything, and clear isn't really a color. It could also be Color to show that the world isn't monochromatic, Brown because it is an understated, neutral color (though I doubt Brown), and even Rainbow much in the sense of Color.
The mascot's going to be Kyurem. There isn't a reasonable doubt that makes me believe otherwise. I knew that Rayquaza was going to be featured extensively in the third game, I just didn't know whether the game would be Emerald or Topaz. I saw Giratina coming from a mile away as well. Kyurem definitely belongs alongside Reshiram and Zekrom, and even moreso than Rayquaza and Giratina did with their respective trios as Kyurem was the original Reshiram and Zekrom.
